"As expected! But from now on, you will be working under your brother-in-law. We must not use your brother-in-law's power to act arrogantly and do whatever we want..."

Xue Pan was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother-in-law?"

Then suddenly I realized,

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Hehehehe..."

Listening to Xue Pan's silly laughter, Xue's mother shook her head helplessly.

"Well, go get busy! Don't let your brother-in-law miss out on your important business!"

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Xue Pan nodded heavily upon hearing this.

When he thought about how his brother-in-law would be crowned emperor one day, he would be a member of the royal family!

For a moment, my heart was surging and I was filled with heroic spirit.

I just feel more motivated to work for Qingfeng Village!

……

That night,

Wang Ziteng hosted a grand banquet at the general's residence for all the important officials and generals, including Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Ziteng gave an order and the swordsmen who had been lying in ambush rushed out and tied up all the generals tightly.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the executioner.

He quickly stretched out his hands to cooperate so that the executioner could tie him up more tightly.

Wang Ziteng looked at Hai Dayong, the only one still cursing, and sighed helplessly.

"General Hai, please don't blame me!"

"I am doing this for the hundreds of thousands of people in Jinling City!"

Hai Dayong suddenly became furious.

"Wang Ziteng, damn... wuwu..."

Before he could utter a word, Wang Ziteng quickly stuffed a piece of rag into Hai Dayong's mouth.

No matter how it struggles, it will be of no avail.

Wang Ziteng ignored Hai Dayong and turned to look at Jia Yucun who was trembling with fear beside him.

"Jia Futai! As an elderly person in Jinling, what do you think?"

Jia Yucun stood up hurriedly and tremblingly, bowed and clasped his fists.

"Your subordinate, I will obey your orders!"

Wang Ziteng nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, in that case, please ask Lord Jia to return to the yamen immediately and prepare all the necessary accounts and money. At 12:00 PM, follow me to the East City Gate to welcome the Qingfengzhai army into the city!"

"Yes, yes! I will do as you say!"

Jia Yucun was sweating profusely and kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves.

The rest of the civil servants, although not tied up, all bent down respectfully.

East of Jinling, in front of the city gate,

She Xiaoer, Ji Chi and several hall masters all stared at the city gate in front of them with burning eyes.

At this moment, there were no officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate during the day.

Ji Chi said happily,

"It seems that Qingfeng Village is about to take another city. The Peak Master's great cause is promising!"

"This kid Wang Ziteng is quite sensible!"

She Xiaoer said solemnly,

"We should not be too relaxed. Let the brothers be prepared. You know, these officers are all wicked. Who knows if they will trick us into an ambush!"

Ji Chi curled his lips in disdain.

"Wang Ziteng? The Wang family's roots are all in Jinling. Even if you give them the guts, he wouldn't dare to do it!"

She Xiaoer nodded slightly, but still instructed the person next to him,

"Go find the Great Dog Hall Master and have his men be prepared for any emergencies. Make sure to protect the Peak Master!"

"Yes!"

The men took the order and left.

There were torches everywhere in front of the city gate, and all the people in Qingfeng Village were waiting in awe.

Finally, a heavy sound came from inside the city gate.

She Xiaoer and others heard the sound of the capstan on the city gate starting to turn "creakingly", making the rope tugged and buzzing.

Everyone saw that the gate of East City was slowly opening.

She Xiaoer and Ji Chi raised their hands almost at the same time.

With a 'swish', all the subordinates behind him raised their guns and aimed at the city gate.

Finally, after the city gate was completely opened,

Jia Yucun, dressed in an official robe, led a group of officials, holding up many books, and slowly walked out of the city gate.

When he saw the soldiers and horses outside the city with torches and countless black muzzles of guns,

Jia Yucun was suddenly horrified and cursed Wang Ziteng in his heart as a beast!
