Chapter 471 The person behind the fake princess is an acquaintance.
Lin Luoxi snorted coldly, and the city's garrison commanders tensed up.
After the locals learned about the real and fake princess incident, they all followed to watch the spectacle.
"You guys go in and tie him up, I'm not going in." The thought that this imposter had lived in the city lord's mansion for so long without them noticing made him even more suspicious.
Lin Luoxi felt annoyed just looking at it and didn't want to step into the city lord's mansion.
"Yes!" They knew they had done something wrong, so they didn't dare to say anything more and just obeyed whatever Lin Luoxi said.
Before long, the city lord's mansion became lively.
"What are you doing? This is Princess Changping! This is treason! You'll lose your heads!"
The city lord of Fucheng, Dong Yan, rushed out in a hurry, wanting to untie the ropes binding the fake goods.
"Dong Yan, if you dare, I will charge you with the crime of colluding with others and covering up wrongdoing."
Just as Dong Yan's hand touched the body of the imposter, Lin Luoxi spoke in a chilling voice.
Dong Yan got goosebumps instantly and looked at Lin Luoxi with fear.
"Who are you?" Upon seeing someone he didn't recognize, Dong Yan immediately straightened his back and looked at Lin Luoxi.
"Open your dog eyes and look, this is the real Princess Changping." Zhao Cheng pointed at Lin Luoxi, and then at the white tiger standing next to Lin Luoxi.
"This, this..." Dong Yan was stunned. He looked at the imposter and then at Lin Luoxi.
"This is the real Princess Changping, while the one in front of you is using Princess Changping's name to swindle and deceive people in Fucheng," Zhao Dong said loudly.
The common people gathered at the entrance of the city lord's mansion immediately began to discuss among themselves.
"I knew it! The legendary Princess Changping did real things for the people, unlike that imposter who only did shameful things and oppressed us..."
"Exactly, look, that imposter's face is deathly pale; he probably knows he's about to die..."
Everyone looked in the direction the speaker was looking, and sure enough, the imposter felt a chill run down his spine and his mind went blank when he saw Lin Luoxi, the real person.
To avoid being discovered, they deliberately chose this remote town, far from the emperor's reach, where Princess Changping wouldn't come to swindle and deceive. Little did they know they'd run into the very person in question.
As expected, her intuition was right; with Lin Luoxi's appearance, her good days were over.
"Princess, we've brought this group of imposters here..."
Just as Dong Yan was wondering how to describe his feelings at that moment, the city guards had already tied up all the imposters in his mansion and brought them out.
"Oh, it's someone I know!"
Lin Luoxi was quite surprised when she saw the city guards appear with a group of people tied up, and when she saw the face of the leader.
"Hmph!" Lin Wenwu actually snorted at Lin Luoxi after hearing your sarcastic remarks and turned his head away.
"Guards! This group of imposters impersonating Princess Changping are committing crimes and profiting from them in Fucheng. Drag them away and execute them on the spot!"
Just because Lin Wenwu could still snort at her defiantly when he saw her, Lin Luoxi readily told him to go to hell.
"Lin Luoxi, Lin Luoxi, you can't kill me, our Lin family..." Lin Wenwu was so frightened by the news that he would kill on the spot that he quickly continued to kneel and beg Lin Luoxi.
"Hmph, don't even mention your Lin family. Based on what you elders did to me, you should have been sent to meet the King of Hell long ago."
"Having managed to survive until now, not only do you not appreciate the opportunity, but you even sent someone to impersonate me. Your behavior is an affront to the royal family, a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire family..."
"What are you all standing there for? Drag them away and execute them immediately!" Lin Luoxi ordered coldly when she saw the generals still standing there in a daze.
"Yes!" Lin Wenwu and the imposter, a total of seven people, were beheaded by the generals in front of the city lord's mansion.
The body was separated from its body, and it was quickly dragged away, with the blood on the ground being washed away.
The people of Fucheng, witnessing the counterfeiters being executed, clapped and cheered with excitement.
It is clear that the actions of this imposter during this period have made the people hate him.
"Dong Yan, your investigation was not thorough. You knew the other party was of bad character, but you didn't investigate properly before settling him down."
"You even joined in the wrongdoings. Now, on behalf of the Emperor, I hereby strip you of your post and order you to hand over the city lord's seal immediately..."
After executing Lin Wenwu, Lin Luoxi immediately turned her attention to Dong Yan.
That scoundrel has been causing trouble with that imposter quite a bit lately.
"Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me! I was forced into this..." Hearing Lin Luoxi's cold voice, Dong Yan finally came to his senses and quickly knelt down before Lin Luoxi, kowtowing vigorously.
"You should also be glad that you didn't cause trouble with them, otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just losing your position."
Lin Luoxi's mouth, which was over thirty degrees Celsius, spoke in a way that was over thirty degrees below zero, making Dong Yan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Knowing there was no way to salvage the situation, Dong Yan had no choice but to resign himself to taking out the city lord's seal he was carrying.
Dong Yan was being watched by Lin Luoxi's men as they packed their bags and left the city lord's mansion.
Using her intelligence network, Lin Luoxi investigated the bottom line of all officials in Fucheng. In just a few hours, she learned that Yang Dehuai, the prefect of Xinzhou in Fucheng, was diligent in his duties, loved the people, and managed the fisheries effectively.
The message was immediately relayed to Xiao Jingchen. Once Xiao Jingchen agreed to approve it, Yang Dehuai would immediately assume the position of city lord.
After resolving the issue of Fucheng impersonating Princess Changping, Lin Luoxi led Zhao Qing and the others to the East Wharf of the city.
"Princess, aren't you planning to move into the Princess's residence?" Zhao Qing asked curiously on the way.
"No, that place has too many rules. It's more comfortable to stay in my own territory..." Lin Luoxi shook her head like a rattle drum when she heard Zhao Qing's words.
She preferred eating seafood at the dock to eating lavish meals at the Chuancheng Lord's Mansion, a place she found unbearably stifling.
She used to live in the city lord's mansion out of necessity, but now that she has her own fishing boat, she is happy to rest on it.
Looking at Princess Changping, who was so frank and approachable, Zhao Cheng was filled with emotion.
When he was building ships, he was suppressed by people sent by a fake Princess Changping. He returned to his old profession and rejoined the shipbuilding industry, also because of Princess Changping. That's fate!
"Why are there so many people?" Wu Kui felt uneasy when he saw Lin Luoxi bring so many people back, feeling that these people were here to steal his job.
"Oh, these are all key technical personnel. You should exchange ideas more often in the future and hurry up and finish building my ship. I'm looking forward to visiting Western countries!"
She instructed Xie Hanchuan to take his men to the dock to familiarize them with the materials they had purchased, so that they could quickly get started using the blueprints she had drawn.
"Don't worry, even if they build the ship, you'll still be the captain..."
