Chapter 187: The Deeds Exposed

A rumor began circulating in Qingshui City at some point: the city's law enforcement officer had been assassinated, and the mastermind behind the assassination was none other than Li Jiancheng, the head of the Li family!

This news caused a huge uproar. Many people initially took it as a joke, without considering the status of the law enforcers. They were the strongest people in this area. In the eyes of some ordinary people, Sun Xiaoman had even become their faith. If it weren't for Sun Xiaoman, they might have died in the bellies of those monsters outside long ago.

Although it attracted attention, the lack of evidence initially led many to believe it. However, when members of the law enforcement team came forward to clarify that the law enforcement officer had indeed been attacked recently and was currently recovering from his injuries, and that the attackers were none other than the Li family, who had been keeping quiet all along.

Once the news was confirmed, it immediately sparked public outrage. Almost a million people in Qingshui City pointed their fingers at the Li family. No matter who they were, they all had some resentment towards the Li family.

After being defeated by Sun Xiaoman and Zhu Yu, the Li family has been biding its time and secretly developing its power. In terms of reputation, it is even inferior to Zhanlong Pavilion and Black Dragon Society. Only underworld forces that have come into contact with the Li family can appreciate its strength. But no matter what, the Li family can only be considered a family power and is incomparable to law enforcement.

At that moment, in the Li family, Li Jiancheng slammed his hand on the table, veins bulging on his forehead.

Across from us, Yang Hui said with a worried expression, "Your Highness, the situation is getting worse and worse for us. Twenty-three companies that we used to work with have cut off business with us, and several suppliers that provide resources for cultivators have also started to reduce their supply. It is estimated that the family's income will decrease by at least 30% this month, and as the rumors spread, the losses will be even greater. What should we do?"

Yang Hui panicked. The influence of law enforcement was too strong; a single word from them could ruin the Li family's reputation.

Li Jiancheng, sitting opposite him, clenched his fists and said angrily, "What a law enforcement officer! She actually ruined the reputation of my Li family. She wants to completely break ties with us."

“Your Highness, since the last ambush failed, we have officially broken ties with the law enforcement. The only way forward is to deal with them as soon as possible and take over the entire Qingshui City with lightning speed. Only in this way can we minimize our losses.”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "No, you haven't seen that person, so you can't imagine how powerful he is. We alone can't defeat him."

"What about the law enforcement officers?" Yang Hui asked cautiously.

"Don't worry about it. So what if we lose something? It's just material possessions. Once we get the chance to crush that mythical organization and law enforcement, we can have as much of these things as we want."

“But…” Yang Hui was still a little worried. If the rumors were not suppressed, the reputation of the Li family would definitely decline, and they might even be despised and lose the support of the people after they took over Qingshui City.

Before Yang Hui could finish speaking, Li Jiancheng waved his hand to stop her, saying, "No buts. They're just ordinary people. What trouble can they cause? Once we kill the law enforcers, these people will only be fit to be our slaves."

A fiery glint appeared in Li Jiancheng's eyes, like that of an extremely fanatical believer, with the flames in his heart burning wildly.

"Once I've enslaved the entire city of Qingshui, I will establish a kingdom, become a king, and rebuild the glorious Tang Dynasty!!!"

"Hiss!!!" Yang Hui was captivated by Li Jiancheng's ambition. When she looked at him, her eyes revealed the same fervor as his. Once Li Jiancheng rebuilt the Tang Dynasty, she would be the Empress of the Tang Dynasty!!

"His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely succeed!" Yang Hui firmly believed.

Li Jiancheng laughed heartily, his mood improving: "Haha, once I am made a king, you will be my beloved empress, the first empress of the Tang Dynasty!"

Yang Hui couldn't help but be moved. Her face flushed like a peach blossom, and her bright eyes looked at Li Jiancheng. For a moment, she forgot about the predicament they were facing and fell deeply into the beautiful dream woven by Li Jiancheng. She didn't even mention the rest of the information.

In fact, many members of the Li family were also caught up in the chaos. Li Jiancheng could calmly face the accusations from the entire Qingshui City and remain unmoved, but could the ordinary members of the Li family do the same?

Everyone knew that the Li family was plotting to harm law enforcement officers, and they almost succeeded. Hundreds of thousands of people in Qingshui City were filled with resentment, and they couldn't imagine what they would face if the law enforcement officers were killed.

Without a doubt, the fate of Qingshui City without law enforcement officials is only one of two things: either it will be invaded by other powerful cities, or it will be destroyed by the beasts outside the city. Neither of these is what they want to see, so in their anger, they vented their rage on the Li family.

They dared not enter the Li family's gate, but they could still do some dirty tricks. For example, they would go and smash up the Li family's shops in the middle of the night, deliberately slander the Li family's reputation, and some would eat at the Li family's restaurant and run away without paying the bill, and then brag to their neighbors as if they had done something amazing.

Everyone knows this is wrong, but they just want to stand up for the law enforcement officers. Anyone who has met the officers knows what a lovely young girl she is. How could the Li family be so cruel? The officers might not target the Li family for the sake of the bigger picture, but they are not afraid.

Many citizens would deliberately spit on the Li family's gate when they walked up to it, and some even started cursing. They would run away as soon as the Li family members came out.

The guards of the Li family have been having a major headache lately. Every day, thousands of people come to spit, sometimes even tens of thousands, creating a massive crowd. You have to queue up just to spit. The guards don't dare to go out, for fear of getting into trouble.

Some of the Li family cultivators didn't believe in superstition. They were dignified cultivators, how could they be scared off by some ordinary people?

However, they regretted it as soon as they arrived at the scene. The instigators were actually a group of third-tier powerhouses?!

The Li family cultivators were dumbfounded. Whose third-tier expert was so idle? Wouldn't it be better to go out for a drive?! Why did he have to stand here and curse?!

What they didn't know was that most of these third-tier cultivators were sent by Fu Jiu and Li Si, and the bald man who was cursing the most was the Flower Monk.

At first, some of the Li family guards were furious and tried to drive these people away, and then... they were beaten up by the Flower Monk!

Yang Hui recognized the bald man as a member of the Myth. However, due to the Myth's formidable power and the mysterious expert whom even the Crown Prince was extremely wary of, she dared not act rashly. She had originally planned to tell Li Jiancheng about this, but seeing the Crown Prince's expectant look, it was not appropriate to say such things now.

"Has Your Highness already devised a way to deal with that mysterious expert?"

"Haha, you really understand me best." Li Jiancheng's eyes turned cold: "Don't forget, it's not just law enforcement officers who can call in outside help; we have outside help too!!"
