Lin Xiuyan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and responded with her fist.
Zhou Chenyang: "!!!!!"
After tying up Zhou Chenyang, she walked up to them and said, "Mr. Fan, for this matter, I have to trouble you to come back to Chongqing with me."
Fan Xilou swallowed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled at him. Her beautiful face was stained with a lot of blood. This smile made Fan Xilou's heart tremble.
He knew that he might never dare to have any other thoughts about her in his entire life.
Ye Junfei patted Fan Xilou on the shoulder, which frightened him so much that he almost jumped up.
Lin Xiuyan asked the servants to symbolically pull up a few corpses, carried Zhou Chenyang, took out a pair of cymbals and a pair of gongs and drums, and beat them all the way back to Chongqing.
The movement of their group was too loud and very eye-catching.
In addition, they were walking on an official road, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the road. Seeing this scene, they all looked at them in surprise.
A servant held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Zhou Chenyang, the lord of Yucheng, knows the law and breaks the law, and leads people to rob merchants!"
As soon as he finished shouting, the people next to him were playing cymbals, gongs and drums, making it very lively.
People on the roadside had complicated expressions after hearing these words.
The news that several wealthy families in Chongqing City were looted a few days ago has spread throughout Chongqing City.
Anyone who is not a fool will feel something is wrong with this matter.
Because although there are mountains and bandits around Yucheng, those bandits definitely have no courage to enter the city and rob.
Even if all the bandits entered the city and robbed them that day, Zhou Chenyang, as the lord of the city, had seriously neglected his duty.
At this time, they heard about Zhou Chenyang robbing merchants again, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Someone came to ask for details, and an articulate servant was responsible for explaining:
"My young lady sent her friend out of the city, but when she passed Baizhang Cliff, she encountered a robber."
"Fortunately, my lady was afraid of encountering bandits because of what happened a few days ago, so she brought some homemade weapons for self-defense."
"Those bandits were very ferocious, but my lady immediately realized something was wrong, because she had seen several of those bandits in the City Lord's Mansion."
"So she led us to fight desperately, and found out that it was the city lord Zhou Chenyang who was directing the bandits to rob."
"We desperately killed those bandits and captured Zhou Chenyang alive. You can investigate this matter!"
As soon as he said this, someone immediately echoed: "I also came from Baizhang Cliff today, and I heard shouts of killing from a distance."
"Then I saw City Lord Zhou leading his men to surround and kill a convoy. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go over."
"I originally thought it was Zhou Cheng who led the troops to suppress the bandits, but I didn't expect that he himself was pretending to be a bandit and robbing the caravan!"
His words became more credible, and everyone's eyes immediately changed when they looked at Zhou Chenyang.
Fan Xilou said from the side: "I am the owner of the caravan that was robbed. I have experienced this personally!"
"The Lord of Yucheng, who colluded with bandits and robbed merchants, shall be punished for his crime!"
As the lord of a city, Zhou Chenyang could not protect the people, but also robbed them. This was not just a dereliction of duty!
He used to be very good at showing off, and his status in the hearts of the people was not low.
Although Lin Xiuyan pulled him down from the altar last time, most people were still doubtful about his collusion with gangsters.
This time he was caught and exposed, so they couldn't tolerate their disbelief.
Zhou Chenyang was carried back like this, with only half his life left.
He only listened to the words of the servant of the Lin Mansion and looked at the fierce eyes of the people around him when they looked at him, and he knew that this time he was probably really going to die.
When he was panicking, he saw an official coming, and he immediately shouted: "Come here, Lin Xiuyan is slandering me, arrest them quickly!"
The officials were stunned when they saw this scene, and immediately went to find Xu Shoubei.
Seeing Zhou Chenyang's miserable look, Xu Shoubei felt happy and asked Lin Xiuyan to put him down.
Lin Xiuyan followed her words and said to the servant behind her: "Put him down."
The servant had already received her instruction and immediately threw Zhou Chenyang to the ground.
Although he was not lifted too high, the ground was very hard, and he already had injuries on his body. This throw directly fractured his tail.
Zhou Chenyang: "!!!!!"
He wanted to kill Lin Xiuyan's whole family!
Lin Xiuyan didn't mind his attitude at all. After telling Xu Shoubei what happened, she said: "A person like him is not worthy of being a city lord!"
The last time something happened, Xu Shoubei was led to drink by Zhou Chenyang's people. After he sobered up, he realized that something big had happened in Yucheng.
Zhou Chenyang also used this incident to question Xu Shoubei, scolded him bloody, slapped him several times, and fined him half a year's salary.
Xu Shoubei knew that he was tricked by Zhou Chenyang last time, and he scolded Zhou Chenyang like shit in his heart.
It's just that Zhou Chenyang is his superior, and he has Prince Pingnan's second son to help him, so he can only endure it even if he gets angry again.
Now that Lin Xiuyan handed Zhou Chenyang's handle to Xu Shoubei, of course he had to use it to his advantage.
He immediately said: "There are complete witnesses and material evidence on this matter. As the lord of the city, Zhou Chenyang did not protect the people, but instead colluded with the robbers."
"His conduct is bad and he is not worthy of being the city lord of Chongqing. I will immediately submit a letter asking the court to remove Zhou Chenyang from his position as city lord."
After saying this, he felt completely refreshed.
Ever since Zhou Chenyang came to Chongqing, he has found fault with him every day, annoying him endlessly.
Now that he had the opportunity to unseat Zhou Chenyang, he would naturally be happy to see it happen.
It was enough for Lin Xiuyan to know that Xu Shoubei would handle the follow-up matters.
She glanced sideways at Zhou Chenyang. For him, losing his position as city lord would be even more uncomfortable than killing him!
Zhou Chenyang said angrily: "Xu, you didn't even investigate. You just believed Lin Xiuyan's words and came to this conclusion. You are avenging a private vendetta!"
Xu Shoubei cupped his hands and said, "Well, please, City Lord, please answer my three questions."
"First, why do you want to lead people to guard the roadside and attack ordinary business travelers?"
As soon as Zhou Chenyang was about to make up a story, Xu Shoubei asked the second question: "If you are out of the city on business, why don't those officers and soldiers wear official robes?"
After he finished speaking, he asked the last question without waiting for Zhou Chenyang's answer: "There are several caravans leaving the city today, why did you only let one caravan from the Fan family leave the city?"
"Not only that, but they also sent people to block that section of Baizhang Cliff on the pretext of a landslide?"
These questions have all reached key points. No matter how much Zhou Chenyang tries to quibble, he still can't get everything right.
Zhou Chenyang's face was swollen like a pig's head, and his face suddenly swelled into a bluish purple color.
Lin Xiuyan gave Xu Shoubei a thumbs up. An old official like him is still very good at dealing with this kind of thing.
