Chapter 129: The Dust Has Settled
Ms. Xu defined the merchants' actions as riots, which made the merchants even more resentful of her.
I don't know when it began, and it was rumored that her brother Xu Yong's unknown evil deeds were circulated.
The parties involved in many incidents have come forward to identify, and those who have been deceived and do not know the truth have gradually come to their senses. After that, they became even more resentful of Xu Yong.
For human beings, there is nothing more hateful than the person who plays himself as a monkey, not to mention that the person who plays himself still has a deep hatred with himself.
Needless to say, these are all the handiwork of Shui Mufeng, over the years, he has long investigated the evil deeds of the Xu sisters and brothers, and now he is using it to deal with Xu Wenjuan.
The methods of the people sent by Xu Wenjuan to deal with these merchants were also simple and rude, that is, beating, smashing, and arresting.
As a result, for the first time in the history of Watertown, the shops were closed.
Not only the business district, but also the shops in the entire water city have all ceased operations.
It's got into big trouble right now.
In addition to basic farming, the most important thing in this place is commerce.
And without these shops, the agricultural products produced cannot be sold, which is a huge blow to the economy of Shuicheng.
Xu Wenjuan didn't understand these at all, she only knew that these people challenged his authority, which she absolutely could not tolerate.
In this way, the fight between the two sides is even more fierce. Soon escalated into violence.
The fighting between the two sides intensified, and it didn't take long for people to die.
Finally the two sides stopped. It was Xu Wenjuan's people who were killed.
If you think about it, this is unusual, and ordinary things don't turn into such violence.
Xu Wenjuan is a good conspirator, but not a good city manager.
She didn't understand why her subordinates who had absolute strength couldn't deal with these merchants.
When it comes to death, it's not that simple. Xu Wenjuan had to come forward to solve the matter in person.
However, to her surprise, these people demanded that her brother's former followers be punished. The merchants exposed her brother's misdeeds. Let her admit it publicly, which she cannot accept in any way.
She hated these people even more.
It's terrible for a woman to go crazy.
Now she has no mercy on these merchants.
More men were soon sent to arrest them.
Just when the two sides were about to fight to the death, Mizuki Feng stood up.
Now it's his turn to appear.
"Madam, what are you going to do?They are all the elites and talents of my Water City, are you going to exterminate them?" Mizuki Feng's tone was calm and indifferent.
"City Lord, these people are all bad elements who instigate riots, and if you don't clean them up, it will be intolerable, do you hear, they are actually slandering and slandering my own brother. By the way, that's your own brother too. Outside, Xu Wenjuan still has to call Shui Mufeng the "city lord".
Although she doesn't care about Shuimufeng at all now, in her opinion, Shuimufeng is simply plasticine in her hands, how she wants to pinch it.
"Xu Wenjuan, you and your brother have done so many evil things over the years, do you really think that no one knows? God can't spare you. "Mizuki Wind began a showdown.
"You, what are you talking about? You dare to say that about me? It seems that Shuicheng is planning to change masters. Do you really think you're still capable of dealing with me now? Don't make a fuss, the whole water city is firmly held in my palm, and you are just a clown in the palm of my hand. Xu Wenjuan looked at Shui Mufeng, and her heart was a little weak, but she thought that her power was much stronger than Shui Mufeng.
Over the years, he can be said to have complete control over Shuicheng, even if Shuimu Feng is the city lord, this cannot be changed. Thinking about it like this gave her a lot of confidence in her heart.
"The people of Water City, I am the city lord Shuimu Feng, and I am guilty of making everyone suffer over the years. Saying that, Mizuki Feng bowed to the people of Shuicheng.
At this time, almost all the people in Shuicheng ran over.
Most of the people saw the castle lord Mizuki Wind for the first time. There are also very few people who have ever seen him at his succession ceremony. Seeing their city lord like this, they were also a little overwhelmed.
"Over the years, I have been addicted to cultivation, and the affairs of Shuicheng have been entrusted to the management of my wife Xu. However, I didn't expect her to do such a thing to hurt everyone. This is absolutely unforgivable. Mizuki Feng had completely ignored Xu Wenjuan's purple face.
"Mizuki Feng, Lord of the Water City, you are so good. Xu Wenjuan glared at Shui Mufeng and said this through gritted teeth.
"These are all kinds of evil things that the Xu brothers and sisters have done in Shuicheng for so many years, and I have only recently fully found out. Chief, read. Mizuki Feng took out a scroll and handed it to an official who was in charge of the etiquette of Mizuki beside him.
The master took the scroll, opened it, and after seeing the words on it, he calmed down his breath and emotions, and read it quickly.
It recounts the various evil deeds of the Xu sisters and brothers over the years, including the death of He Xiaohe.
Before the chief secretary finished reading, the people were in an uproar, and when they heard He Xiaohe's part, Shui Mufeng's eyes were also red.
looked at Xu Wenjuan's eyes full of murderous intent.
In fact, speaking of which, the marriage between the two of them is simply an alliance of interests, and the two don't have much affection, and now they are enemies, which is also quite sad.
Xu Wenjuan's expression was calm, but there was an indescribable violence in her heart. This is jealousy of He Xiaohe, although she doesn't love Shui Mufeng, but she just can't allow others to possess her.
Speaking of which, it's her desire to control that is at work.
She is like a greedy devil who wants to possess everything.
Xiao Che Although they didn't show up, they were actually in the crowd.
In addition, He Xiaohe's father and many people from the He family were also secretly invited by Shui Mufeng.
When they heard the cause of He Xiaohe's death, He Xiaohe's father was so angry that he almost fainted.
He had already thought about it, he had to let Xu Wenjuan die here no matter what today. He doesn't care about the Xu family now. All he has is the belief in avenging his daughter.
He knew that Shui Mufeng's purpose for letting him come here was to use the power of the He family to bring down Xu Wenjuan. He is willing to do this, even if he gambles on the entire He family, he will never regret it.
Speaking of He Xiaohe, it is her father who inherited her, and she values feelings more than interests.
When the chief secretary finished reading the accusations of the Xu brothers and sisters on the scroll, his hands trembled, some were frightened, and more were angry.
"Hahaha, Mizuki Feng, you are ruthless enough. If it weren't for me for so many years, would Shuicheng be able to develop today? If it weren't for me, would you still be able to snuggle up with that little slut, you and me? What have you given me since I got married here? You have never loved me even the slightest, do you really think I don't know?" Xu Wenjuan roared like crazy. 33
"Is this the reason why you hurt people?" Shui Mufeng was speechless to Xu Wenjuan's words.
"I don't deny that before I married you, my father gave me more control over Watertown, but I didn't quite think so at the time. Originally, I thought that I could marry a good husband and love each other, even if it was my father's words, I could disobey it, but you, what about you! What did you do to me! Before I got married, you told me that I had a woman I liked, and I wanted to marry her. Do you know how I felt when I learned about this? I'm a woman, too!" Xu Wenjuan roared.
"You can tell me this, we can not get married, if you refuse this marriage at the beginning, it will not be like this at all, why did you agree to Xiaohe to marry me!" At that moment, he seemed to have some sympathy for the city lord's wife who had been with him for many years, but when he thought of He Xiaohe's tragic death, he only had hatred for Xu Wenjuan in his heart.
"Do you know how shameful it is for a woman to be divorced in my Xu family, have you ever thought about it? If I had returned to the Xu family like that, even if I remarried others, I would have to marry into a family of ordinary officials, and if I didn't do well, I would be despised and bullied. You must know that in our family, there is nothing good for a woman who has been divorced. After all, it was your selfishness that caused all this. Xu Wenjuan seemed to be much calmer, but she was even more disdainful and disdainful of Shui Mufeng in her heart.
"But if you marry me, aren't you still the main room, or the lady of the city lord?, I didn't let you do those harmful things!" Mizuki Feng really didn't know what to say.
"Hehe, do you think I'm willing to do those dirty things? But I can't help it, if I don't do that, how can I control Shuicheng, how can I have today's power!" Xu Wenjuan not only did not regret it, but took it for granted.
Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie heard it, but they didn't know what to say.
Hearing these things, it can only be said that both of them are selfish people, and at the critical moment, they did not make a good choice, in fact, they could have avoided this. It's more due to the person's character.
It is not that the parties are not in a position to comment on the rights and wrongs at all. But no matter what, Xu Wenjuan killed so many people is still guilty.
This kind of sin is not only in the sense of the law, but also in the morality and conscience of people's hearts.
"Don't talk nonsense, Xu, today I must avenge Xiaohe, your sisters and brothers have done so many crimes, and no one can spare you. After Shui Mufeng finished speaking, he led someone to rush towards Xu Wenjuan.
"I'd like to see if you're dead or I'm alive today. Xu Wenjuan is not to be outdone, so many years in power have made her character strong and aggressive.
She wouldn't be taking a step back until now, but things weren't going the way she had imagined. It stands to reason that her power is stronger than that of Shui Mufeng, the city lord who has little real power, but in fact, now Shui Mufeng has brought Xu Wenjuan's crimes to the public, coupled with Xu Wenjuan's blow to the businessman, this has made most of the people in Shui Mufeng stand on Shui Mufeng's side.
In this way, Xu Wenjuan's forces have become the weak side.
The blood of the people is hot.
The two sides fought together. Although there are many people, Xu Wenjuan's people are victorious in strength, but fortunately, there are the He family and several local families who are not weak and Shui Mufeng to act together. The people in the Xuanfu gathered by Xiao Che were also organized, lined up in a battle team, and attacked Xu Wenjuan like an army.
They use what they call "surgical tactics." The people in the Xuanfu Mansion each held the crossbow spirit weapon designed by Mo Fei in their hands. This stuff is expensive and very practical. Especially in large-scale melees, it is even more powerful. That's when they can show what they're up to.
Sure enough, these people from Xuanfu appeared, and they quickly suppressed the forces loyal to Xu Wenjuan. This team of Xuanfu was obviously a well-trained army-style warrior, and under Xiao Che's command, they quickly divided the forces surrounding Xu Wenjuan into several pieces, using battle formations to cut them apart.
And Shui Mufeng led his henchmen to attack Xu Wenjuan's place.
Coupled with the strength of the people, Xu Wenjuan's group was soon defeated.
The reason why these people are loyal to Xu Wenjuan is also very understandable, they are all people sent by the Xu family. Those people in the water city were either killed or surrendered.
The battle lasted three hours, and in the end all of Xu Wenjuan's die-hard men were killed. Xu Wenjuan herself is still alive, but Shui Mufeng doesn't plan to let her go.
"What else do you have to say?" Shui Mufeng and He Xiaohe's father looked at Xu Wenjuan, who was still calm in front of them, and at a certain moment, they even felt that the person they hated the most was a little pitiful. But it was only for a moment that they put the thought aside. Now is not the time for mercy. And this vicious woman has today's fate and does not deserve sympathy at all.
"What else to say, dust to dust, dust to dust, just give me a good time, but after I die, Shuicheng is afraid that there will be no peace. After speaking, Xu Wenjuan closed her eyes.
The power that has been created with so many years of painstaking efforts has been destroyed overnight, and Xu Wenjuan herself can't say what it feels like. However, her character determines that she will never bow her head, and if she wants to die, she will die proudly.
"I'm not afraid. After speaking, Shui Mufeng's knife slashed through Xu Wenjuan's white neck. A woman who has been in charge of Watertown for more than twenty years stopped her heartbeat at this moment.
Almost at the same time, the knife in He Xiaohe's father's hand also pierced Xu Wenjuan's heart.
Mizuki Feng didn't stop him in the slightest, he couldn't stop the father who had lost his daughter from doing such a thing to his enemy.
What's more, the source of all this tragedy is Mizuki Feng himself.
The battle ended, and the people of Xuanfu had already quietly left. Don't look at it, Xiao Che knows what kind of ending Xu Wenjuan will have. He can't completely expose the people in the Xuan Mansion now, after all, if Shui Mufeng has other thoughts, it won't end well.
After all, Xiao Che has no intention of harming others, but he also knows how to guard against others.
For Xu Wenjuan's people, Mizuki Fengfa did not have the slightest softness, whether it was surrendered or defeated, all of them were cleared. Xu Wenjuan is right, in the future, there will be no peaceful day in Shuicheng.
The Xu family will never sit idly by and watch Xu Wenjuan's death. What's more, Xu Yong's death is now in the limelight of Mizuki. In this way, it was Mizuki Feng who blocked the gun for Dongya.
For the sake of the internal stability of Shuicheng, Shui Mufeng can only ruthlessly get rid of those who are loyal to Xu Wenjuan. Although the means are ruthless, they are also reasonable.
Next, he issued a series of notices, all of which were good decisions to promote the production of Shuicheng and restore the economy.
For example, the tax exemption policy for a certain period of time has been supported by the people of Shuicheng at once.
Looking at his hand, you can know that he has made sufficient preparations for today, and this is by no means the result of impulse. Rather, it was premeditated. These are all indifferent things for the people of Shuicheng, what they want is to live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing.
The dispute in the City Lord's Mansion has nothing to do with the people, and this time, if Xu Wenjuan's sister and brother hadn't gone too far and caused public anger, the people would not have participated in this way.
In any case, the dust has settled now, and the subsequent reconstruction of Water City will all be completed by Mizuki Feng.
He Xiaohe's father did not stop here, he wanted to return to the family and move the entire family away from the Northern Qi Empire.
After all, this time they offended the Xu family to death, so they naturally didn't dare to continue living.
In fact, he had already sold the family business before he came, and this time he only needed to sell the last house and take people away.
Outside the city, the water city leads to the place where the He family must pass. Xiao Che and the three of them have been waiting here for a long time. Almost all the people of the Xuanfu have evacuated Shuicheng and headed for the Emon Empire.
Generally speaking, these people are from Beiyan and belong to the Xuanfu Mingtang, so they naturally want to return to Beiyan. But Xiao Che felt that if they went to Beiyan, if they didn't wait for the border pass, the news of the Xu family would spread to the border pass, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for them to get out of the Northern Qi at that time.
If the Emperor of Northern Qi was on the side of the Xu family, they would be treated as traitors, but if they went to the Emon Empire, it would be different, and the Xu family would not be guarded.
Besides, Xiao Che will continue to travel from there when the time comes, and these people will be able to come in handy.
Now they are waiting for He Xiaohe's father, the He family, and He Mu's horse team.
He Mu didn't wait too long, He Mu led the He family to here, although he didn't know Xiao Che, but he also knew that Xiao Che was the commander of the Xuanfu in this incident.
"This friend of Xuanfu, do you have any advice?" He Mu saw that Xiao Che and the three of them stopped him, and he also dismounted and said hello.
"Master of the He family, I am Xiao Che, this time we are also comrades-in-arms who have fought together, I know the current situation of the He family, I wonder if you are interested in leading the He family to join my Xuanfu?" Xiao Che got straight to the point.
"Xiao Che! You are Xiao Che, the lord of Xuanfu! I really didn't expect that you would be so young and disrespectful. He Mu was taken aback by Xiao Che's name, although the He family was not a big family, he also knew Xiao Che's name. After all, the current reputation of the Xuanfu is really loud.
"Master He, what do you think of my suggestion?" After the greetings, Xiao Che continued to ask.
"It's okay to ask my He family to join the Xuan Mansion, but I don't know what the Lord of the Xiao Mansion likes about my He family?"
"The head of the He family must know that my Xuanfu acts, and joining in has always been able to maintain a certain degree of independence, the head of the He family is affectionate and righteous, I want to help you, and the He family's way of doing business is in line with the spirit of my Xuanfu, if the He family can join the Xuanfu, then the He family's business ability can be better played. How is it, Master He?" Xiao Che finished speaking and gave He Mu time to think.
