Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Yang Chao sighed, "Manage? Nobody dares to report it, so how would the court know? The entrance fee started last year. It began with five coins per person, but it kept increasing until it reached one hundred coins now. Many people simply can't afford it. So every two days, there are beatings at the city gate. In more serious cases, people are beaten to death and thrown into mass graves."

Moreover, in recent years, the emperor of Beixiang Kingdom has been obsessed with immortality and has neglected state affairs for a long time, with the left and right prime ministers handling state affairs together.

Lord Li and the Left Chancellor were related by marriage, and most officials would turn a blind eye to this, only hoping to protect themselves.

Chu Mu slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "What a bunch of beasts! I can't wait any longer. I'm going to slaughter these beasts tonight."

Bai Lu agreed, "Count me in. Tonight, we'll kill the city lord first, then Li Nian."

Chu Qing put down his chopsticks and instructed, "Brother Chao, have someone send over the map of the City Lord's Mansion, as well as a record of all the mistakes the City Lord made during his reign. We'll make our move at 3:45 tonight. Now everyone go back to your rooms and rest."

They have intelligence outposts in every town, so it's not difficult for them to find out these things.

I originally planned to kill only Li Nian, but I didn't expect the city lord to be one of them. People like him don't deserve to live.

Letting them live even one more day is a disrespect for life.

"Okay." Yang Chao nodded in agreement, understanding their purpose in coming down the mountain.

Hearing about what happened in Silvermoon City made them lose their appetite. They quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest, planning to kill the villains that night.

At midnight, Chu Qing, dressed in black, came out of the room and found that everyone had already changed their clothes and was waiting in the courtyard.

After exchanging greetings, everyone gathered around a map of the city lord's mansion on the table. The map was clearly marked, even showing the nearest escape route.

Yang Chao pointed to the markings on the map and said, "We have confirmed that the city lord is staying at Dongxiang Pavilion tonight, at his fifth concubine's place. You will enter from here and exit from here afterwards."

"Both the city lord and Li Nian have two experts by their side, one in the open and one in the shadows. They have solved many dirty tricks for them and their hands are stained with blood. They are not innocent people."

"This is a stronger version of the drug I concocted myself. I can use some if necessary."

"The city lord's guards patrol once every incense stick's time. As long as you avoid the patrolling guards, you can get out smoothly."

“Li Nian isn’t at the manor. Tonight, at the Wanhua Tower’s auction of Lily’s first night, Li Nian won first place with 2,200 taels of silver and became Lily’s guest.” Yang Chao paused here, “According to Li Nian’s usual habits, he won’t be out for three to five days.”

Lily's room is on the third floor, in the southeast corner. There's a big tree there that provides access to the third floor, but be careful of her two guards.

Chu Qing understood. Li Nian was at the Wan Hua Lou, and the City Lord was at the City Lord's Mansion. One was in the east, and the other was in the west. They were splitting up and acting in two groups.

"I, Xie Qi, and Gu Yu will go to Wan Hua Lou. Jing Yuan, Chu Mu, and Bai Lu, you go to the City Lord's Mansion. We'll meet up at the city gate after we're done."

No one objected. As was their custom, after each mission, they would hang the heads on the city gate and list out all the crimes they had committed, posting them next to the heads.

Yang Chao instructed, "Be careful along the way, especially at Wanhua Tower. It's brightly lit at night with lots of people coming and going, so it's easy to be spotted. If you are spotted, stop the operation immediately and don't take any risks."

"Miss, I'll switch with you. You go to the City Lord's Mansion, and I'll go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion." Before setting off, Song Jingyuan insisted on switching with Chu Qing, and Chu Qing had no choice but to agree.

She understood Song Jingyuan's intentions; he was simply afraid that the brothel would damage her reputation.

But Song Jingyuan didn't even consider that she, a bandit leader, really had any reputation to speak of.

She couldn't refuse her brother's kindness. She had hoped to take this opportunity to visit the brothel, but now it seemed her plans were ruined again.

Wearing black face masks, they climbed over the wall and left the courtyard, quickly disappearing into the night.

Following the pre-arranged route, Chu Qing and his companions arrived at the Dongxiang Pavilion without any obstacles.

Chu Qing quickly discovered the guards hiding in the shadows on a rooftop of Dongxiang Pavilion, with another guard standing outside. The presence of one guard in the shadows and one in the light clearly indicated that the city lord was right there.

"I'll go take him out," Chu Mu said, pointing to the one on the rooftop and mouthing the words.

Chu Qing shook her head. She had the ability to become invisible, so it was most suitable for her to go. After speaking with her hand to make sure that Chu Mu and Bai Lu understood, she activated her invisibility skill and disappeared from their sight.

This move completely stunned the two of them.

As soon as Chu Qing arrived on the rooftop, the guards hidden in the shadows spotted her and their eyes fell on her location. Even though they couldn't see her, they didn't relax.

A moment later, the guards, finding nothing amiss, closed their eyes to rest. Chu Qing, seeing the guards with their backs to her, swiftly attacked, her blade piercing the guards into a chain.

The guard's eyes were wide open, looking incredulous. Blood kept gushing from his mouth, and then he died, dead beyond any doubt.

At this moment, the drowsy guard at the door was given a packet of sleeping pills and sent to his death, meeting Yama, the King of Hell, in his sleep.

The maid and the fifth concubine were only drugged and unconscious; Chu Qing did not intend to kill them. As for what would happen to them in the future, that was no longer her concern.

The three men, carrying the city lord's head, evaded the patrolling guards and quietly left the city lord's mansion. The trip went exceptionally smoothly.

On the other hand, the operation was much more difficult. The Wanhua Tower was brightly lit at night and full of people. They were dressed in black and their faces were covered, so they couldn't get out at all.

Going out like this would be blatantly telling everyone that they are assassins, wouldn't it?

"Let's change our clothes, dress up, and go up to the third floor openly," Song Jingyuan suggested.

Xie Qi and Gu Yu nodded. This was the only option left, but it was so late, where could they change their clothes?

If we go back, it will be dawn by the time we get there and back.

Song Jingyuan remembered seeing a clothing store on his way here and decided to 'buy' a set.

Before long, the three of them changed their clothes. Gu Yu was also dressed in men's clothing, with thick eyebrows and a fake beard. No matter how you looked at it, it looked awkward.

The madam was startled by the three men's attire, but for the sake of the silver notes, she didn't kick them out. She greeted them with a smile, "Yue'er, Mei'er, Hong'er, come and serve the three gentlemen."

"Coming!"

"Coming!"

"Mom, we're here!"

"These are the prettiest girls in our building. They'll keep you gentlemen company tonight," the madam said with a wide grin. She then turned to the girls and said, "Keep you all company."
