At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

After receiving Xia Yun's signal, Tuoba Jinghui walked towards Richard without any nonsense.

Richard, feeling the fear of death, immediately began to struggle hard, trying to break free from the two guards.

However, at this moment, no matter how he struggled, he could not escape death!

"Boss Xia, you can't kill me! I'm the heir of the Kreif family! You will definitely regret it if you kill me!"

As he was dying, Richard screamed again.

But just as he finished speaking, Tuoba Jinghui had already walked in front of Richard, and then under Richard's terrified gaze.

Tuoba Jinghui grabbed Richard's neck with both hands and twisted it hard!

Click!

At this point, Richard died of suffocation!

"This guy got away with it. If he were in our Mobei grassland, I would have killed him alive."

Seeing that Richard had lost his breath, Huyan Jueluo immediately spat, his eyes full of disdain.

"Hurry up and get the stuff out."

Xia Yun shook his head slowly.

He was not impressed by the Clive family that Richard mentioned before his death. If this guy had not sought death on his own initiative, he would not have been so cruel.

……

After a whole night and more than ten hours of busy work.

When dawn arrived, more than 150 people under Xia Yun finally emptied all the financial reports in the City Lord's Mansion and successfully transported them back to the Grassland Inn.

At the same time, hundreds of corpses in the City Lord's Mansion were all buried on the spot by Xiang Wentian and his men.

When the sun rose from the east, the City Lord's Mansion was deserted, without any living person in sight.

The crowds of onlookers who had been watching outside the street in the middle of the night also came forward to check out the situation after daybreak.

However, apart from seeing blood all over the ground, they also did not see any trace of living people.

For a moment, the crowd of onlookers gasped.

"All the people in the City Lord's Mansion were killed?!"

"The situation in Lantuo City is about to change!"

"Who on earth would be so bold? Could it be Richard's enemy?"

"..."

In an extremely short period of time, the news spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, quickly creating a storm of public opinion throughout the entire area.

In and outside the streets, almost everyone was talking about the miserable situation in the City Lord's Mansion.

As the mastermind of this murder case, Xia Yun was now in the grassland inn, leisurely drinking tea.

"Marshal, we have checked it. All the fifty truckloads of goods are intact."

When it was eight o'clock in the morning, Xiang Wentian appeared beside Xia Yun.

After bringing all the treasures and looted supplies from the City Lord's Mansion back to the inn, Xiang Wentian has been busy checking the supplies.

"What were the casualties among the brothers last night?"

Xia Yunxian nodded and then asked again.

The key to the entire plan last night lay in Xiang Wentian. He needed to take fifty people to occupy the East City Gate.

So the plan is almost certain to succeed, but casualties among the troops are inevitable.

"Don't worry, Marshal. There are no deaths among the brothers. Only four people have suffered minor injuries of varying degrees. They are expected to recover soon and will not delay their normal schedule."

Xiang Wentian reported immediately.

"Well, pass on my order. Give 500 taels of silver to each of the brothers who participated in the action yesterday."

Xia Yun nodded again and said.

Xiang Wentian's ability to get things done is extremely outstanding, and among the generals under him, he is no less capable than Chong Heihu and Qin Tianye.

"Thank you, Marshal."

"But the noise we made in the city last night was too loud. It won't be long before they find out that the East Gate defenders have been wiped out. When the Dune Dynasty leaders investigate, they will probably send a large number of troops to search Lantuo City."

Then, Xiang Wentian expressed his concerns.

You know, just last night, they killed nearly six hundred people at one time!

With such a bloody incident happening on the territory of the Dune Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible for the top leaders of the Dune Dynasty to sit idly by and watch.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Yun waved his hand calmly.

"Lantuo City is not a place to stay for long. Let the brothers prepare first and be ready to evacuate Lantuo City at any time."

Xia Yun instructed.

For him, Lantuo City is just a transit station. His real destination of this trip is St. Anthony City!

Not long after, Xiang Wentian left Xia Yun and went to convey Xia Yun's orders.

At this time, Tuoba Jinghui, Huyan Jueluo, and Tuoba Jingcheng returned to the grassland inn and found Xia Yun as soon as possible.

"Marshal, the remaining 200-odd guards in Lantuo City have discovered the situation at the East City Gate. The entire city is now under martial law. There are dozens of guards guarding the factory gate."

"Marshal, rumors are spreading all over the city right now. Everyone is talking about the bloody incident that happened in the City Lord's Mansion last night."

As soon as the three saw Xia Yun, they started talking one after another.

After everyone returned to the grassland inn, Xia Yun sent Tuoba Jinghui and the other two out to inquire for news.

"I remember that you said last night that there is a secret passage that leads from inside the city to outside the city. Where is it?"

When the three people finished speaking, Xia Yun's eyes were directly fixed on Tuoba Jingcheng.

However, at this moment, Xia Yun still had a calm expression on his face.

"The secret passage is in the direction of the west gate, but it is narrow and can only accommodate one person. If the commander wants to retreat through the secret passage, then we won't be able to take away our supplies and the treasures we stole from the city lord's mansion last night."

Tuoba Jingcheng looked worried.

When he told Xia Yun about the existence of the secret passage yesterday, he did not expect that the situation would become as complicated as it is today.

If you just want to get these hundred or so people out of Lantuo City quietly, then you can do it without any effort.

But now, they not only have fifty carts of goods, but also a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

"Don't worry. If it doesn't work, we can just fight our way out of the city."

A smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yun's face, and he spoke to calm the three people.

Currently, all the defenders in the city only number about two or three hundred people.

With the power he now holds in his hands, he can completely fight his way out before the Dune Dynasty sends people to Lantuo City.

However, Xia Yun's plan was to leave Lantuo City with all the supplies and personnel without attracting other people's attention as much as possible.

"Marshal, we must leave Lantuo City as soon as possible, otherwise, Shuicheng will definitely send people to Lantuo City."

"Once Tianshui City finds out that Lantuo City is under martial law, they will definitely attack the city directly without being able to contact you, and they will suffer heavy losses."

Immediately afterwards, Tuoba Jinghui analyzed and spoke with a very serious look.
