Chapter 254: City Lord Replacement
Li Mingyan cursed the old fox inwardly, but did not show it on his face, "If you want to save Mingyan, there must be a way!"
"I do have a way, but I'm afraid you won't agree!" Zhu Hongchen sighed.
"Please explain clearly, sir." Li Mingyan said.
"It's simple. You become the son-in-law of my Zhu family!" Zhu Hongchen held his beard, looking shrewd and calculating. "Think about it, if you become a member of my Zhu family, will the Yao family dare to embarrass you? Even if you really hit that housekeeper, they will have to swallow the grievance for the sake of my Zhu family. They will even be respectful to you when they see you in the future! After all, I'm old and I only have one daughter, Shanshan. In the future, the position of city lord will definitely be yours!"
Li Mingyan sneered in his heart, "What a bullshit position of city lord! My Li family's ten thousand taels of silver notes can't satisfy your appetite, right? So you covet all the Li family's property!"
"What if Mingyan finds it difficult to obey?" Li Mingyan asked him.
"Well, there's nothing I can do! Oh, look at you, as the most outstanding son of the Li family, once you are sentenced to prison, your life will be really ruined!" Zhu Hongchen sighed, feeling very sorry.
"According to the city lord's intention, as long as I become the city lord's man, the Yao family will not dare to touch me?" Li Mingyan suddenly laughed, with a sarcastic light flashing in his eyes.
"Of course, Ming Yan, you're so smart, how could you not understand this? Look at the entire Sifang City. Who doesn't kneel respectfully when seeing this city lord? So what if the Yao family is the richest family in Sifang City? If they make me unhappy, I can confiscate all their property on any charge!" Zhu Hongchen said this with a smug look on his face, and his expression suddenly became kind and gentle. "If this matter happened to someone else, I wouldn't ask about it, but it happened to you. You are the young generation I am most optimistic about. How can I bear to let your youth be ruined in prison?"
"What you said makes sense, sir." Li Mingyan said.
Zhu Hongchen was excited when he heard this. "What? You agree?"
Li Mingyan raised his head and looked at him. The smile on his face turned into a sneer, with a hint of sarcasm. "No, I just think that instead of becoming the city lord's man, it would be better to become the city lord directly so as to intimidate the Yao family!"
Zhu Hongchen was stunned. "You...what do you mean?"
Li Mingyan walked up to him and said, "What this means is that from this moment on, your position as city lord is gone."
"How dare you!" Zhu Hongchen flew into a rage upon hearing this. "This city lord treated you with kindness, treating you as his own child, and you actually repay me like this, you wicked and heartless thing!" Li Mingyan sneered, "If the Yao family's attempt to harm me directly and seize my property is insidious and vicious, then the city lord is no better! You simply want to use the pretext of letting me marry your daughter to gradually erode my Li family's wealth! Zhu Hongchen, I gave you so much money, and in the end you set your sights on everything in my Li family. Who is the wicked and heartless one, huh?"
"Someone, give me this..."
Just as Zhu Hongchen was about to order someone to deal with Li Mingyan, he suddenly felt a cold knife on his neck. A voice even colder than the knife uttered from Feng Shang's mouth, "If you don't want to die, then be honest!"
Zhu Hongchen was stunned. He turned around and saw the man in the veil. His face was filled with shock. "You... weren't you imprisoned in another prison? How did you get out?"
Feng Shang's bloodshot eyes were icy cold. He didn't answer him, but asked Li Mingyan, "Are you okay?"
Li Mingyan smiled and said, "If you had come a little later, something might have happened."
Zhu Hongchen was planning to torture him.
Feng Shang also smiled, "Don't worry, even if everyone in the world is in trouble, you won't be in trouble."
Otherwise, what would he do if the little girl blamed him for not protecting his cousin?
Li Mingyan naturally understood what he meant, and the smile on his face became more genuine. "Sure enough, having a good sister can overcome everything!"
Feng Shang added, "The premise is that your sister is Yaoyao."
The implication is that if it's not Yaoyao, it's useless even if you have a hundred sisters.
Zhu Hongchen was a little confused at this moment. He turned his head to look at Li Mingyan, then turned his head to look at Feng Shang. He didn't understand what the two people were talking about in sign language, but he didn't dare to move. There was a real knife on his neck.
"Your Highness, our people have taken control of the entire City Lord's Mansion. Please give us your instructions!" Qingyan walked over with a sword in his hand and saluted respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Feng Shang coldly ordered, "Guard every door well. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed!"
"Yes!" Qingyan took the order and left.
Zhu Hongchen was terrified. "What did he call you? Prince? Which prince are you from?"
"Haha, Lord Zhu, it's been more than ten years since we last saw the capital. I hope you are doing well!" Bai Ze walked slowly towards him, waving a white feather fan and smiling. His curved eyebrows and small and exquisite mouth made him look like the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.
Zhu Hongchen looked at Bai Ze approaching, his eyes nearly popping out of his head in shock. "Mr. Bai...Mr. Bai, you're not dead?"
"Haha... I'm sorry to disappoint Lord Zhu. At the beginning, Lord Zhu searched everywhere in the cold palace but still couldn't find me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been demoted to Sifang City to be the city lord by the emperor!" Bai Ze came to Zhu Hongchen with a smile, walked behind him, suddenly stretched out his legs, and kicked Zhu Hongchen to the ground!
Zhu Hongchen was completely unprepared and fell to the ground.
"Oh! Are you hurt, Lord Zhu? I still remember when you were just a running dog in front of the old woman, you kicked me like this. I never thought that there would be a day when I could kick you back!" Bai Ze was very happy.
Zhu Hongchen didn't have time to feel the pain in his body. He raised his head and looked at Feng Shang, "Could it be that you... you are that evildoer?"
Without waiting for Feng Shang to answer, Bai Ze went up and kicked him again, "No matter what, the prince is the biological son of the current emperor. How dare you call him that!"
"You are not dead. I... I must report this to the Emperor and the Empress!" Zhu Hongchen said as he got up from the ground and was about to leave.
As a result, Bai Ze kicked him again, and he climbed down again. "It's still a question whether I can survive. You actually want to tell on me!"
This time, Zhu Hongchen couldn't get up.
"Master, are you okay?" Hongye walked in and saluted Li Mingyan.
Following behind her was Ah Xuan, who looked unhappy.
"You came at the right time. Take him to the study and ask him to hand over the city lord's seal!" said Li Mingyan.
Since Feng Shang has taken control of the City Lord's Mansion, the next thing to do is Li Mingyan's.
"Yes!" Hongye stepped forward, drew his sword, and placed it on Zhu Hongchen's neck. "Let's go get the City Lord's Seal!"
