They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 104 The Mayor Arrives

Feiyun City belongs to Linshui County and is under the jurisdiction of the Su family of the Marquis of Sinan. However, in Feiyun City and its four subordinate towns, the Xie family is the real local tyrant.

The mayor of Yunhai Town is Xie Changyun, the third son of the Xie family!

The mayor of Feixia Town is also a son of the Xie family, named Xie Changming. In terms of seniority, he is Xie Changyun's elder brother!

However, Xie Changming was not as highly regarded in the family as Xie Changyun. When he went to the local area, he could not rely on the family to strengthen his power and had to rely on his own efforts.

Xie Changming did a great job in this regard!

Many high-ranking officials and wealthy people in Feixia Town are his friends, and they are willing to stand up for him in critical moments!

Of course, when Xie Changming needs them, they should also contribute money or effort!

Among them, the one that left the deepest impression on Xie Changming was the Cheng family, or rather, the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Feihu.

Over the years, Cheng Feihu had given him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver... With this silver, Xie Changming now had many supporters in the Xie family, which made him set his sights on the position of city lord of Feiyun City.

"I only need the support of five elders to compete for the position of city lord of Feiyun City!"

"If I succeed in the competition, I will become the second-in-command of the Xie family... a real figure of power, in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Xie Changming's eyes gleamed with excitement. He knew very well that he wasn't a direct descendant of the Xie family, and although the position of patriarch held higher status and greater power, it wasn't for him.

Without other opportunities, the highest position Xie Changming could reach would be the city lord of Feiyun City.

"Currently, four elders in the family support us, and the fifth elder has already made his intentions clear. To gain his support, at least 300,000 taels of silver will be required!"

Xie Changming muttered, "I can come up with 100,000 taels right now, but I'm still short 200,000 taels. I'll have to ask the other wealthy people in Feixia Town to chip in! They've taken so many favors from me, so it's not unreasonable for them to give me some money!"

As the mayor of Feixia Town, Xie Changming knew very well that the people in his town were living in dire straits!

In Feixia Town, it's even more outrageous than in Yunhai Town. The rich run rampant, and the powerful act with impunity!

Gambling dens are everywhere, brothels are ubiquitous; as long as you have money and power, what does it matter if you forcibly abduct women?!

All of this was due to Xie Changming's indulgence!

"Last time, Cheng Feihu arranged for his son to be a patrol inspector in the garrison, and I agreed, but I haven't asked him for the money yet..."

Xie Changming smiled slightly and gestured for his attendant to follow. "Let's go to the Cheng family! We'll ask that old Cheng for some money, and besides, I heard he's got a new batch of beauties lately!"

Xie Changming's entourage chuckled maliciously; clearly, they knew their master very well.

In fact, Xie Changming treated him very well. Sometimes when he met some beautiful women, Xie Changming would eat the meat himself and leave the soup for them...

Therefore, they were extremely loyal to Xie Changming.

And so, Xie Changming, accompanied by his twelve attendants, swaggered toward the Cheng family's residence without wearing official robes.

However, just as he stepped out of the town mayor's residence, a soldier rushed over, looking flustered.

"Mayor, something terrible has happened! The Cheng family is in trouble..."

Xie Changming was stunned, but after the soldier finished explaining the situation, his face darkened, and he trembled with anger: "How dare you! How dare you!"

He growled in a low voice, "This is my territory, Xie Changming's territory! What kind of monsters and demons dare to lay a hand on my people on my land?!"

"You dared to kill Cheng Feihu in the street! Isn't that provoking me?! Cheng Shan has already led his men there? Very well, but it's not enough!"

Xie Changming gave the order: "Go and take some more men. This time, I'll show you my skills! Anyone who dares to lay a hand on my 'friends' on my turf, I'll tear them to pieces!"

The attendant agreed, summoned two inspectors, and led a large group of two or three hundred men, almost blocking the entire long street.

……

As Su Luo approached, Cheng Shan felt his heart pounding faster and faster, like thunder, making his eardrums vibrate.

"You, what do you want to do?!"

"Don't do anything reckless. Let me tell you, the mayor is a friend of my father's. If you dare to lay a hand on me, the mayor will definitely not let you off..."

Cheng Shan had already spoken without thinking, but after he finished speaking, Su Luo laughed.

He flicked his long sword, pointing it at the pile of minced meat not far away, and said, "Your father's friend? Sorry, I'd even kill your father!"

Cheng Shan's breath hitched slightly, his face turned deathly pale, and he stared at Su Luo: "Who exactly are you?!"

"What did our Cheng family ever do to offend you? Don't tell me it's because of a woman. That woman is nothing but a slut! You must have had another reason for attacking my father!"

"Even if you want me to die, you should at least let me die knowing why!"

At the crucial moment, he calmed down and spoke clearly and logically, trying to buy time.

Su Luo smiled slightly, "Me? Just an unknown nobody!"

At the same time, the long sword in his hand was already slashing towards Cheng Shan's head. "As for attacking your Cheng family? Heh, if I don't like you, I'll wipe you out! Do I need a reason?!"

Cheng Shan's pupils contracted upon hearing this. "You're so domineering..."

"stop!"

At that moment, Xie Changming's furious roar came from afar: "Who dares to lay a hand on Cheng Shan? Are they courting death?!"

But Su Luo's long sword had already fallen, and a fine head flew out!

As Xie Changming watched Cheng Shan's head fly off, only one thought crossed his mind: It's over, it's all over!

In Feixia Town, the Cheng family father and son are both dead. If I want to receive sponsorship again, I'm afraid no one will give me money anymore!

Then his dream of becoming the city lord of Feiyun City will be shattered!

After all, if even the most basic security issues can't be guaranteed, who's going to pay him?!

"You're asking for it! You're really asking for it!"

Xie Changming glared at Su Luo and the group of people behind him, then looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, and roared angrily: "Shooting government soldiers in the street! Who are you?!"

"No matter who you are, I will absolutely not let you go today, because what you have done is tantamount to rebellion! Even if I exterminate your entire family, no one will blame me!"

"Men, surround him!"

Two burly men stepped out from behind Xie Changming, exuding a bloodthirsty aura. The two men simultaneously replied, "Yes!"

Then, they led more than a hundred people and surrounded Su Luo and the others!

Su Luo looked at Xie Changming and smiled slightly: "Xie Changming? The mayor of Feixia Town?"

"I wasn't planning on causing you trouble right now, but since you're so arrogant, then... don't blame me!"
