Wu Ge chuckled: "You have the nerve to accuse me, don't you feel the same way?"
Wu Dao didn't want to pay attention to him, but Wu Ge asked again: "Do you think the Crown Prince and Miss Lin can make it work?"
Wu Dao was angry and didn't want to discuss this issue with him, so he said directly: "You are so curious, go ask the prince yourself!"
Wu Ge curled his lips. The second fool's IQ was online for once today, but he didn't trick him.
He said softly: "The emperor's imperial edict granting marriage to the prince is coming soon. I think Miss Lin's temperament means that she is not willing to be a concubine."
"In this case, I don't know what the prince will choose."
Wu Dao rolled his eyes at him: "You are so curious, go ask the prince yourself!"
Wu Ge looked back at him: "If I dare to ask, would I tell you so much nonsense?"
"I'm actually a little panicked right now. After all, if the prince marries Princess Anle and his bloodline is not suppressed, we will be the two of us unlucky."
Wu Dao was actually panicking: "Maybe the prince will choose Miss Lin."
"That would be even worse." Wu Ge sighed: "With the current situation in Prince Pingnan's palace, without the help of the court, I'm worried that he won't be able to keep his position as heir apparent."
Wu Dao sneered: "Do you dare to say this in front of me?"
Wu Ge: "...dare not."
Zhou Chenyang was standing under the tree at this time, looking up at Liu Tianwen who was nailed to the tree, his whole body was shaking.
It's scary!
At this time, the faint morning light shone on Liu Tianbu's body, his eyes were still open as he died.
The arrow that nailed him went straight through his throat, it was domineering and harsh.
If he had personally led people back to the city lord's palace, would he have been crucified here?
He thought he would have a complete victory tonight, but he didn't expect that things were completely out of control!
Liu Tianwen is dead. Almost all of the thousand soldiers and horses he transferred to the city and those transferred to the Lin Mansion are dead!
At this time, Xu Shoubei had personally led the soldiers and horses of Yucheng to hunt down the remaining people.
What made him most desperate was that because he failed to get the Lin family's wealth, even if he robbed several other families, there was still a big gap between the money he wanted.
Moreover, what happened tonight has caused huge panic in Yucheng, and Xu Shoubei will definitely report it to the Pingnan Palace.
Prince Pingnan will definitely hold him accountable.
Although he had the right to mobilize and use the soldiers and horses given to him by the emperor, he still needed to give an explanation to the emperor for losing so many soldiers and horses at once.
Coupled with the fact that the iron blocks were stolen, the emperor would definitely be very angry!
If one person is not good, he will not be able to keep his position as city lord!
It’s all Lin Xiuyan’s fault!
If she had married him obediently and given him the Lin Mansion, how could this series of things have happened?
And now, no matter how disgusted he is, he still has to finish the follow-up things.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Rescue Mr. Liu and search the entire city for Jiangyang's thieves!"
The guard behind him responded.
Zhou Chenyang went to several families who had been robbed, and pretended to comfort them a few words.
The last place he went to was the Lin Mansion. When he passed by, he saw from a distance that the open space in front of the Lin Mansion was filled with corpses.
Zhou Chenyang's heart was bleeding when he looked at those corpses.
But he also said: "These gangsters are really too arrogant. They simply don't take the government seriously!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.
Just when he was about to reprimand, he saw that the person who beat him was Wu Dao.
His pupils shrank. Didn't Prince Pingnan leave Yucheng last night?
Before he could figure out why Wu Dao came back, Wu Dao raised his hand and punched him in the abdomen.
Wu Dao scolded him while beating him: "What do you mean, the gangster is too arrogant? It's obvious that you are too incompetent!"
"As the lord of a city, what were you doing when these criminal thieves came in?"
"Last night there were shouts of killing everywhere in the city, but there was no trace of the officers and soldiers!"
"Now that you're pretending to come out and say a few innocuous words, don't you think you can expose this matter?"
Wu Dao really felt that Zhou Chenyang was very shameless, and he didn't show any mercy when he beat people up.
These few punches almost knocked Zhou Chenyang to the sky.
Zhou Chenyang was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. Wu Dao kicked him again and said, "I'm asking you a question! Get up and talk!"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
He needs to be able to get up!
This bullshit prince, it hurts too much to hit someone!
Lin Xiuyan said from the side: "What the Crown Prince said makes so much sense!"
"In the past month, Chongqing has been visited several times by gangsters."
"What happened last night was even more unusual. The number of thieves was unbelievable!"
"As the city lord, you are derelict in your duty by allowing the number of gangsters to reach this level!"
"You are greedy for life and afraid of death. When you see people in trouble but don't lend a helping hand, you are shameless!"
"You said nice words afterwards but took no action. That's despicable!"
"A person like you is not worthy of being a city lord or our parent officer. Get out of Yucheng!"
Behind her, the servants of the Lin Mansion shouted: "You are not worthy of being our parent officer! Get out of Yucheng!"
Zhou Chenyang turned blue with anger, feeling that his authority had been challenged.
If Prince Pingnan was not here, he might have ordered everyone in the Lin Mansion to be arrested!
He looked at Lin Xiuyan with a dark face, and she looked back at him expressionlessly, but there was endless provocation and ridicule in her eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Chenyang felt that he might have really done something wrong before.
Lin Xiuyan may be a playboy, but she is a powerful and smart playboy. Her abilities are far more outstanding than he imagined.
Compared with her, Jiang Xinrou is simply a loser waiting to die!
Not to mention, he married Jiang Xinrou, an empty shell, and she failed to bring him any benefit!
He took a deep breath and said, "I know what happened last night was due to my dereliction of duty!"
"I am here to apologize to all the people of Yucheng. Next, I will clean up the bandit villages around Yucheng."
"I swear to God here that I will protect the people of Yucheng in the future and never let the same thing happen to Yucheng again!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone, seemingly sincere.
Lin Xiuyan felt so sick that she wanted to vomit. Perhaps Zhou Chenyang's greatest strength was his shamelessness.
She had seen his methods like this many times in her previous life, and she was not going to spoil him this time!
She said loudly: "Listening to the tone of the city lord, is it possible that this time the incident is planned to be revealed like this?"
"There have been gangsters in Yucheng before. May I ask the city lord, why are you going there during this time?"
"You couldn't protect us when the little bandits turned into big bandits. Now that the banditry has reached this stage, why should we trust you?"
Everyone agreed: "That's right, why should we believe you?"
This incident overdrawn their trust in Zhou Chenyang.
