Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

"Do you really think I will compromise? Aren't you afraid that I will directly file a complaint with the court?"

Before leaving, Huang Wenzhong turned around and glanced at Xu Feng with an inexplicable look on his face.

"You won't. If you really provoke the court to send an imperial envoy, your situation will only become more difficult. If you don't believe me, Lord Huang can try."

Huang Wenzhong's bottom line is not clean at all and cannot withstand investigation.

Any random accusation he makes is enough to make it difficult for him to recover.

The best outcome is to cooperate with Xu Feng and find another way to escape, otherwise it will be a dead end.

"Let's go."

On the way back, Huang Wenzhong's face looked extremely ugly.

He was reluctant to give up his business and wanted to take this opportunity to make further progress in the officialdom. He came from an ordinary family and was able to become an official entirely because of his connections.

If we lose the income from Gusu City, it will not be so easy to get in touch with the court in the future. Those close friends in the past may not help us until they see the benefits.

People are very realistic, especially after seeing the emperor's determination to clean up the officialdom, no one would take such a big risk.

"Sir, I am guilty. I never thought this little son-in-law would dare to refuse a toast."

Wang Qingshan’s biggest mistake was that he underestimated Xu Feng, thinking that Xu Feng was a nouveau riche who could be easily controlled.

"It's none of your business. This Xu Feng is indeed difficult to deal with. You can tell from his attitude tonight that he's stubborn and unyielding. It's probably impossible for us to protect our assets. Besides, we can't get involved in this. We can only cooperate with him now."

Huang Wenzhong had a very clear view of the situation.

Knowing that things cannot be done, he will never do anything stupid. At this time, he will make a bold move and divest all his industries, and perhaps he can still get out of this situation.

On the way back, he had already decided to cooperate with Xu Feng's actions.

Otherwise, who knows what that madman Xu Feng would do.

If the account book in Xu Feng's hand was sent to the court, it would not only ruin his future, but also his head. Even if he survived by chance, he would lose a lot of skin. It would be better for him to cooperate honestly.

"Tomorrow, you will lead your men to cooperate with their actions. Just as Xu Feng said, we will mobilize troops to clean up Jianfengshan's assets in the city."

When Wang Qingshan learned of Huang Wenzhong's decision, he was stunned and felt it was a little unbelievable.

"But sir, Jianfengshan has paid countless tributes. If we really take action against them, they will probably do something desperate."

Wang Qingshan was unwilling to give up his business.

The Wang family is a wealthy family in the city, and gambling houses and opium dens are their biggest sources of income. Losing these two businesses would definitely be an extremely heavy blow to the Wang family.

"What if you don't cooperate? The other party is powerful. I advise you to be honest, otherwise your life will be in danger."

After saying that, Huang Wenzhong ignored it and planned to go back to rest.

Only Wang Qingshan was left standing there in a daze. After thinking it over, he finally came up with a foolproof plan.

Before sealing off all the gambling houses and opium dens, he could have given them a heads-up in advance, asked them to transfer their property early, and then found a few scapegoats, so that he could have completely avoided death.

Perhaps Huang Wenzhong also meant this.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He had to act quickly and it would be best to notify everyone tonight, otherwise it would be too late.

Inside the Jinyiwei station, Honglian and Xu Feng watched Huang Wenzhong leave without taking a rest.

"Huang Wenzhong is deeply involved with Jianfeng Mountain. Will he directly seal off all of Jianfeng Mountain's assets as you said?"

Honglian always felt that things were not that simple.

People like Huang Wenzhong are greedy for money, lustful and afraid of death. If he were to lose so much money for no reason every year, he would definitely not be happy.

"In fact, the attitude of a mere county magistrate is not worthy of our attention at all. Do you remember what I told you before?"

"Sowing discord and letting them fight each other?"

As if she had guessed something, Honglian's eyes lit up, and she vaguely guessed Xu Feng's true plan.

"Yes, the three forces working together cannot be ignored, but if they act independently, it will be much easier to deal with them."

This was a breakthrough point that Xu Feng had planned from the very beginning.

After entering the city, all his actions seemed nonsensical, but in fact everything was under control.

Having said that, Xu Feng turned around and looked at Ye Ziyu who was waiting on the side.

"Is everyone here?"

"Your Excellency, we are all in the courtyard, waiting for your orders. Are we going to attack Jianfeng Mountain tonight?"

Ye Ziyu was a little excited. The last seizure had already made them a lot of money. Everyone's pockets were bulging, so naturally they were looking forward to the next operation.

Unexpectedly, Xu Feng nodded first, but then shook his head.

"There will indeed be an operation tonight, but it's not to ransack your home and exterminate your entire family."

"If I'm not mistaken, Huang Wenzhong and Wang Qingshan will definitely not be honest. They will most likely inform Jian Fengshan in advance and ask them to transfer their assets."

Having said that, Xu Feng paused before continuing.

"All you have to do is keep a close eye on them. Don't let them leave their residence before dawn, and don't let outsiders come into contact with them."

Ye Ziyu is a steady person who is reliable in his work. He is Xu Feng's favorite among the general flags. It is most appropriate to entrust this matter to him.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely ask my brothers to keep a close eye on them."

"Very good. As for tomorrow, you can just follow the people from the government office. Remember, don't do anything on your own unless something unexpected happens."

Xu Feng planned and strategized, and his seemingly simple plan directly opened up the tricky situation in Gusu. All we have to do now is wait and see what happens.

Wang Qingshan had just returned home and arranged for his son to go and inform Jian Fengshan of the news. However, less than an incense stick of time later, his son returned to the study with a bruised face.

"What's going on? It's so bright outside, how could you possibly fall?"

Seeing his son being so disappointing, Wang Qingshan was furious.

"Dad, something terrible has happened! Go check outside! A group of people have surrounded our Wang family and no one is allowed in or out. As soon as I stepped outside, they beat me back with sticks."

Wang Qingshan's face changed and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Xu Feng could also think of what they could think of, but it was still a step too late. The same result occurred to the county magistrate.

The two couldn't sleep all night and sat in the room until dawn.

The Jinyiwei were watching right at the door, and not even a mosquito could fly in. They were willing but unable to do anything, so Xu Feng directly cut off all their escape routes.

Liushenmen and Jianfengshan knew nothing about Xu Feng's plan. When they learned that the county magistrate was surrounded, the two families were secretly delighted.

They thought the fire would not reach their side for the time being.
