Feiyun City belongs to Linshui County and is under the jurisdiction of the Su family of Sinan Marquis Mansion. However, in Feiyun City and its four subordinate towns, the Xie family is the real local emperor.
The mayor of Yunhai Town is the third son of the Xie family, Xie Changyun!
The mayor of Feixia Town is also the son of the Xie family, named Xie Changming. In terms of seniority, he is an elder brother of Xie Changyun!
However, Xie Changming was not as highly regarded in the family as Xie Changyun. When he arrived at the local area and wanted to strengthen his power, he could not rely on his family and had to rely on himself.
And Xie Changming did a great job in this regard!
Many dignitaries and wealthy people in Feixia Town are his friends and can stand up for him at critical moments!
Of course, when Xie Changming needs help, they have to contribute money and manpower!
What impressed Xie Changming most was the Cheng family, or rather the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Feihu.
Because over the years, Cheng Feihu has given him hundreds of thousands of silver taels as a tribute... Relying on this silver tael, Xie Changming now has a lot of supporters in the Xie family, allowing him to set his sights on the position of the city lord of Feiyun City.
"I only need the support of five elders to compete for the position of the City Lord of Feiyun City!"
"Once I succeed in the competition, I will be able to become the second-in-command of the Xie family... a truly powerful person with the power to command tens of thousands of troops!"
Xie Changming's eyes flickered, and he was very excited. He knew very well that he was not from a direct lineage, and although the position of the head of the Xie family was higher in status and more powerful, it was not for him.
If there were no other opportunities, the highest position Xie Changming could climb to would be the city lord of Feiyun City.
"Now, there are already four elders in the family who support it. The fifth elder has made it clear that if we want him to support us, we will need at least 300,000 taels of silver!"
Xie Changming muttered, "I can only take out 100,000 taels on hand now, but I still need 200,000 taels. I can only ask other wealthy people in Feixia Town to make up for it! You have helped me so many times on weekdays, so it's not too much to ask for some money!"
As the mayor of Feixia Town, Xie Changming knew very well that the people in his town were living in dire straits!
Things in Feixia Town are even more outrageous than in Yunhai Town. The rich are overbearing and the powerful are unscrupulous!
There are gambling houses and brothels everywhere. As long as you have money and power, what's wrong with robbing women? !
All of this was condoned by Xie Changming!
"Last time, Cheng Feihu arranged for his son to be an inspector in the inner garrison. I agreed, but I haven't asked him for the money yet..."
Xie Changming smiled slightly and asked his followers to follow him, "Let's go to the Cheng family! Ask Old Cheng for some money. Besides, I heard that he has a new batch of beauties recently!"
Xie Changming's followers all laughed wickedly. It was obvious that they knew their master very well.
In fact, Xie Changming treated him very well. Sometimes when he met some beautiful women, Xie Changming would eat the meat himself and leave soup for them...
So they are also loyal to Xie Changming.
Just like that, Xie Changming brought his twelve followers, without wearing official robes, but also swaggered towards the direction of the Cheng family.
However, just as he walked out of the mayor's mansion, an officer came hurriedly with a panicked look on his face.
"Mr. Mayor, something bad has happened to the Cheng family..."
Xie Changming was stunned, and when the soldier finished telling him everything, his face suddenly darkened and he was shaking with anger: "How dare you! How dare you!"
He growled in a low voice, "This is my, Xie Changming's, territory. How dare these evil spirits attack my people in my territory?!"
"You dared to kill Cheng Feihu in the street! Isn't this a provocation to me?! Cheng Shan has brought people there? Very good, but it's not enough!"
Xie Changming gave the order: "Go, bring some more people with you. This time, I will show you my skills! If anyone dares to attack my 'friend' on my territory, I will chop him into pieces!"
The attendant accepted the order, called two inspectors, and brought two to three hundred men with him. They marched in such a mighty force that they almost blocked the long street.
…
Watching Su Luo approaching, Cheng Shan felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, like thunder, causing his eardrums to vibrate.
"You, what do you want to do?!"
"Don't mess around. I'm telling you, the mayor is my father's friend. If you dare to attack me, the mayor will never let you go..."
Cheng Shan had spoken without thinking, but after he finished speaking, Su Luo laughed.
He raised his long knife, pointed it at the puddle of flesh not far away, and said, "Your father's friend? Sorry, I will kill your father too!"
Cheng Shan's breathing stagnated slightly, his face turned pale, and he stared at Su Luo: "Who are you?!"
"How did our Cheng family offend you? Don't say it was for a woman. That woman is just a bitch! You must have other reasons for attacking my father!"
"Even if you want me to die, you have to let me die knowingly, right?!"
At the critical moment, he actually calmed down and spoke clearly and logically, trying to delay time.
Su Luo smiled slightly, "Me? Just a nobody!"
At the same time, the long knife in his hand was already slashing towards Cheng Shan's head, "As for attacking your Cheng family? Haha, if I don't like you, I'll destroy you! Do you need a reason?!"
Cheng Shan's pupils shrank when he heard this, "You are so domineering..."
"stop!"
At this time, Xie Changming's roar came from a distance: "Who dares to attack Cheng Shan? Are you looking for death?!"
But the long knife in Su Luo's hand had already fallen, and a huge head flew out!
When Xie Changming watched Cheng Shan's head flying out, there was only one thought in his mind: It's over, it's all over!
In Feixia Town, both the Cheng family father and son are dead. If I want to accept sponsorship again in the future, I’m afraid no one will give me money!
Then his dream of becoming the Lord of Feiyun City would be shattered!
After all, who would pay him if he couldn't even guarantee the most basic safety issues?!
"You're looking for death! You really are looking for death!"
Xie Changming glared at Su Luo and the group of people behind him, then looked at the bodies scattered all over the ground, and roared angrily: "Shooting soldiers in the street! Who are you?!"
"No matter who you are, I will never let you go today, because what you have done is equivalent to rebellion! Even if I kill all your clans, no one will blame me!"
"Come here, surround him!"
Two strong men suddenly walked out from behind Xie Changming, exuding a bloody aura. The two strong men answered at the same time: "Yes!"
Then, they brought more than a hundred people and surrounded Su Luo and others!
Su Luo looked at Xie Changming and smiled slightly: "Xie Changming? The mayor of Feixia Town?"
"I didn't intend to cause trouble to you right now, but since you are so arrogant, then... don't blame me!"
