Xu Jinhuan yanked the whip and dragged Long Wangcai toward the exit.
Because her whip had an invisibility ability, what Xiao Liu and the doctor saw was Long Wangcai being dragged outside like a dead dog.
"The...the shopkeeper?"
Xiao Liu instinctively wanted to grab Long Wangcai, but when he thought that the other party was a god, he withdrew his hand. He was just a mortal, how could he dare to fight against a god?
The physician standing to the side didn't even move. It was a good thing that a deity had intervened; he might be able to take this opportunity to leave the Dragon Mansion.
Meanwhile, Long Wangcai himself was anxiously shouting, "Lord Earth God, I have done everything you said. Are you going back on your word?"
Xu Jinhuan said coldly, "Do you think I'm detached from worldly affairs and easily fooled? As far as I know, you have more than one such workshop."
Long Wangcai was taken aback by what he heard. What did the Earth God mean by that? Was he going to block all his ways of making money? If so, he would just be suffering.
Despite his turbulent thoughts, Long Wangcai, for the sake of his own life, still gave Xu Jinhuan a tactful reply.
“Lord Earth God, I employ quite a few people in my shop and mansion. If all those small workshops close down, these people will have no work to do.”
Xu Jinhuan was not fooled by Long Wangcai's words at all, and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and take me to your workshop."
Long Wangcai wanted to argue a few more times when he felt something brush past his ear. He looked closely and realized it was a small knife. He belatedly touched his ear.
Sure enough, his hand was already covered in blood.
"Go, I'll take you there right away." Long Wangcai swallowed the words he wanted to say and said with a sob in his voice.
Xu Jinhuan didn't waste any time with him and directly used his whip to pull him up and fly away using his lightness skill.
Xiao Liu, who had just come out from underground, looked at Long Wangcai in mid-air with amazement.
"Dr. Wu, look! The shopkeeper is flying! Look! The shopkeeper is flying!"
Doctor Wu gave Xiao Liu a disdainful look. This silly child, he still has the mind to worry about whether Long Wangcai will fly or not. Instead of using this time, he should be packing his belongings.
He finally understood that the deity wouldn't stop until he had completely ruined Long Wangcai, and that the Long Mansion and Jinlong Grain Shop would soon no longer belong to the Long family.
And so, Xu Jinhuan and Long Wangcai flew to various small workshops in the outskirts of Beijing in the middle of the night, rescued all the trapped laborers, and distributed compensation money to them.
After everything had settled down, Long Wangcai asked with a mournful face, "Lord Earth God, is this alright?"
Long Wangcai watched as the money he had worked so hard to earn flowed away like water, being given to those lowly people he used to think were dirty, and then watched as his small workshops were destroyed one by one by the gods.
It was absolutely heartbreaking, a living hell.
Xu Jinhuan had no empathy for this. She said with a smile, "I never said I would let you go after doing all this."
Long Wangcai was stunned after hearing this. "Do all gods break their promises like this?"
With a smile, Xu Jinhuan used a whip to pull Long Wangcai along, leading him to the government office in the capital.
Xu Jinhuan looked at the gate of the government office, pondered for a while, and then chose the large stone lion in front of the gate.
Xu Jinhuan placed Long Wangcai next to the stone lion and wrapped the rope tightly around it several times to ensure that Long Wangcai would not break free. Only then did she nod in satisfaction.
"Lord Earth God, what are you doing here?" Long Wangcai asked tremblingly. He was tied up so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
Xu Jinhuan took out the confession she had previously stored away from her spatial storage and waved it in front of Long Wangcai.
"What else can be done? Although gods cannot directly interfere with a person's life and death, they can make you subject to the judgment of the law."
After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he opened the confession written in blood and tied the edges and corners to the stone lion with rope, making it very conspicuous.
Thankfully, the rain has gradually stopped, otherwise this confession couldn't be left like this.
"Aren't you a little lonely here all by yourself? Wait here for me a moment, and I'll bring your companions over right away," Xu Jinhuan said with a smile.
After enduring a night of relentless torture from Xu Jinhuan, Longwang Finance realized he had lost all will to resist. He even felt that going to jail would be better than being followed by this local deity.
So after listening to Xu Jinhuan's words, he simply revealed the names and addresses of his confidants, and even gave a clear account of his eunuch godfather.
"If you had cooperated so readily before, there would have been no need for things to turn out like this." Xu Jinhuan said with a smile before heading towards the vicinity of the Dragon Mansion.
She smoothly and effortlessly dispatched Long Wangcai's trusted men into the house, had them knocked unconscious, and taken away.
After transporting this group of people, the large stone lions at the entrance of the government office were tied up tightly, one person next to another, without leaving any gaps.
After Xu Jinhuan finished tying up these people, he remembered that there were still two seriously injured people in the Long Mansion, so he went to the Long Mansion again, picked up the two injured stewards with one in each hand, and flew back to the entrance of the government office.
Seeing that they had no ability to escape, Xu Jinhuan simply threw them onto the ground directly opposite the door, making them very conspicuous.
The two injured managers, who were still dazed, were instantly awakened by Xu Jinhuan's throw.
When they opened their eyes, they saw a pitch-black sky and stars winking at them. When they turned their heads, they saw Long Wangcai, who was tied up in the distance.
"Shop...keeper?"
"Why?"
Long Wangcai gave them an awkward smile, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.
Hearing the sound, Xu Jinhuan realized that the two men had woken up. After thinking for a moment, she tore off one of their outer garments, rolled it up, and stuffed it into their mouths, not even sparing Long Wangcai.
"Hmm..."
Long Wangcai felt the gag in his mouth and stared in disbelief at the void. He had clearly told everyone everything, so why was the Earth God still not at ease?
Xu Jinhuan had no time to pay attention to Long Wangcai; she muttered something to herself.
"Next up is the one in the palace..." After saying that, he flew to the palace again.
Xu Jinhuan entered the palace with familiarity and, following the map kindly provided by the system's Xiao Wang, quickly arrived at the residence of his godfather, Long Wangcai.
At this moment, the old eunuch was lying on the chaise longue, receiving attentive service from the young eunuch beside him.
"Chief Eunuch Zheng, the tea is at the perfect temperature now, please have a drink." The young eunuch respectfully raised the teacup and handed it to Chief Eunuch Zheng.
As if he were dealing with a young eunuch, Chief Steward Zheng slowly accepted the cup of tea, touched it lightly with his lips, and then placed it on the table beside him.
"Sixi, how long have you been following me?"
