Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

The property of a dying person should be taken over by those who are capable.

Sheng Changan took a sip of tea and asked, "How can you be sure that I will die?"

The young man looked up at her quietly, then quickly lowered his head. "People who live here will be targeted by everyone and will not be protected by the government." In other words, reporting to the authorities would only lead to loss of both the wife and the army.

"Everyone?" Yuan Qi frowned slightly.

"Government, noble families...common people," the young man continued with a calm expression.

Those who came on the first night were just pawns in the eyes of the people above. If they could kill the people, there would naturally be no need for them to take action again.

But now something unexpected happened... The boy's eyes moved.

"Ever since you walked in here, you've become their means of seeking credit. Silver and houses are just trivial means. If your life is important enough, a fifth-rank official wouldn't be a problem."

"Ridiculous" were the only two words Li Hui could muster.

Sheng Changan glanced at the boy who was testing him with a half-smile, and said in a steady voice, "Continue."

"Some people here survive, some get promoted and make a fortune, and they will all cooperate for the same goal. You are not the first, and you will not be the last." The boy's eyes were indifferent.

"Ever since you arrived, everyone has heard of a story about a man named Sheng from Guangping, only fifteen years old, who possesses countless rare treasures and is as wealthy as a nation."

"Issue a killing order. Enter the Yellow Spring Inn and kill him. You can get a reward for his head. You can exchange it for anything."

"Where did this news come from and how did you know about it?" Sheng Changan's eyes sank slightly. Huangquan Inn?

"Just a few days ago, this news spread throughout the capital. Now everyone should be aware of this. I have told you everything I know." The young man stared fixedly at the gold on the table.

Sheng Changan nodded slightly, watching him take the gold and leave impatiently. His eyes paused at the back of her neck, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As expected.

"Sir, do you want to follow me?" Gao Qiang asked.

Sheng Changan slowly shook his head. "No, it's not appropriate to cause trouble now. What she said is still credible for the time being."

Yuan Qing shook his feather fan and said, "This makes the innkeeper very suspicious."

"I'll bring him here for questioning." Gao Qiang was very quick and brought the man here in just ten minutes.

When he arrived, the shopkeeper was still wearing his underwear, but he didn't seem surprised at all. He really knew that "I just spread the news of which room you were in. The other villains didn't do anything."

"I don't get involved in these things."

Sheng Changan curled his lips and said, "You still say you have done nothing?"

A hint of guilt flashed across his face. "Compared to them, I really didn't do anything. Besides, I'm not like those untouchables. I'm a good citizen. If anything goes wrong, the government will definitely investigate."

"By then, none of you will be able to escape." He was very confident when he said this.

"Good citizen?" Sheng Changan tapped the table with his fingers slightly bent, adding another word that she was not very familiar with.

The shopkeeper cleared his throat and prepared to give a detailed explanation, but seeing her cold and murderous look, he shrank his neck and calmed down.

Not easy to mess with, not easy to mess with.

This time, Sheng Changan finally understood the difference between the two. Good citizens had some assets and enjoyed the protection of the government. Untouchables could be bought and sold, and their life and death had nothing to do with the government.

If the untouchables want to avoid being bought and sold, they have to pay protection fees every once in a while, otherwise they will die.

"This is an order issued by the emperor himself," the shopkeeper repeated again to prevent these people from hurting innocent people.

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows, not sure if it was really him who did it.
