Steward Rui was overjoyed upon hearing this, as he knew that Qin Luo and Wu Hua were backed by a mysterious family.
According to Mr. Yuan, this family is elusive and rarely seen.
Eliminating a city lord would probably be as simple as waving a hand.
He looked at the two of them with a face full of urgency.
"Young masters, is there anything I can do for you?"
Qin Luo thought for a moment
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle, to find a few cars and some empty gift boxes tomorrow! I'll personally deliver them to him!"
"Okay, I'll get on it right away!"
The next morning, Qin Luo asked Steward Rui to send someone to help the miners obtain their household registration and travel permits.
He and Wu Hua, accompanied by several servants, led six carriages, chatting loudly as they went.
"Oh, kid, we shouldn't have come! We were spotted as soon as we arrived, and now we have to give out so many gifts. If Grandpa finds out, he'll give us a good spanking, won't he?"
"You have the nerve to say that? I kept telling you to hurry up and hurry up, but you insisted on dawdling and got stopped by him. Now look what happened! You have to deliver all this stuff!"
The two were quite young, especially Wu Hua, who had an innocent and adorable look on her face.
It's an auspicious beast again; its words immediately make people believe it.
"What's going on? Didn't they say that Young Master Wan Gu insisted on giving it to the City Lord? From what these two kids are saying, it doesn't sound like it was voluntary!"
"It wasn't voluntary. Look at that little kid's furrowed brow; it's obvious he was coerced!"
"Why is the city lord so extravagant? His mansion is already the most luxurious in Yujia City. I heard from the servants in the city lord's mansion that even the chopsticks he uses are made of gold. He's already so rich, how come he doesn't even spare the children's gifts?"
"Who would complain about having too much money? Everyone knows what's going on with our city lord. He talks about being fair and honest, but what's he really like? He's the greediest of them all. He'll even try to snatch some money from a beggar's bowl..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Are you out of your mind?!"
The person realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua listened with great interest the whole way.
"So the common people all know what kind of person the city lord is! I was thinking of spreading the word about him! Sigh, looks like I won't need to!"
Wu Hua nodded
"Let's stop beating around the bush and just go! The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can call it a day!"
"Okay!"
Without further delay, the two quickly arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The city lord was astonished to see so many vehicles, all neatly arranged.
They deliberately started pulling at each other at the gate of the mansion.
“Nephew, you really are something else. I’m just living a rather frugal life, and you actually sent me these things. How can I accept this?”
Since they were all planning to finish him off, Qin Luo naturally didn't want to keep up the act.
"Lord City Lord, didn't you ask me to deliver this? You even said that if I didn't deliver it, you would make sure that Wangu couldn't stay in the city. That's what you said! Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
The city lord hadn't expected her to say that, and seeing the large number of people around him, his face turned ashen.
"Don't talk nonsense! Who in this city doesn't know I'm frugal? Don't think that just because you're Young Master Wan Gu, you can spout such nonsense!"
Qin Luo pretended to be terrified.
"Lord City Lord, is this a threat? I'm so scared!"
Wu Hua also walked tremblingly to Qin Luo's side, looking extremely pitiful.
"Luo Luo, we've delivered the goods, but we still can't leave? Is he going to arrest us?"
Qin Luo picked it up and comforted it loudly.
"My little one, don't be afraid, Grandpa will come to save us! Even if the city lord really makes him exchange ten thousand years for it, Grandpa will be willing!"
The city lord was bewildered by their coordinated performance.
"What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ask you for gifts, let alone for eternity? Don't ruin my reputation!"
Qin Luo didn't argue, but suddenly pointed to the sky and swore an oath.
"If I, Yuan Luo, utter even the slightest lie today, may the heavens strike me dead with lightning!"
Then he looked at the city lord.
"Lord City Lord, do you dare swear an oath? If you lie, you will be punished by lightning!"
With the surrounding people watching, the city lord was in a difficult position.
I was just making a vow, it's not like it'll come true! What's there to be afraid of!
He raised his hand, three fingers pointing to the sky.
"If what I, Yang Shaobo, said today is false, may Heaven punish me with lightning..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Luo instructed the servant to pull the carriage away.
Then, Tengteng unleashed several bolts of lightning at the city lord.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared, shocking the surrounding people.
Before the city lord fell, he uttered three unfinished words: "Kill me..."
Tengteng had never heard of such a request before, so she slashed at him again.
"I'll grant your wish!"
The people were terrified as lightning struck one after another, and they scattered in all directions to avoid it!
"Oh dear! We didn't do anything wrong! The city lord did all the bad things, God! If you want to strike down someone, just strike him!"
"Yes! God, we are all exploited people!"
"Yes, yes, God, please aim carefully before you strike! Don't hurt the innocent..."
Even long after the lightning stopped, no one dared to go closer to take a look.
I was afraid that the lightning might accidentally bend and strike me.
The guards of the city lord's mansion were all trembling with fear; over the years, they had done countless bad things alongside the city lord.
Seeing the city lord's body, now blackened from being cleaved in two, they kept kowtowing towards the sky.
I swear I will never do anything bad again, and I pray that God will forgive them this once.
Qin Luo was extremely satisfied with the effect; it could be repeated many times without killing anyone.
Let him linger on, barely clinging to life, and face the criticism of the people!
Tengteng did an absolutely fantastic job this time!
She walked up to the city lord, feigning great sorrow, but actually gloating.
