Peerless Evil Consort - C62
Ling Xi didn’t think that Murong Yue would actually be interested in someone else’s territory. She felt a little awkward at first, but after thinking for a moment, she said, “Since wangfei wants to go, Ling Xi is willing to lead the way. However, the wangfei could not speak up for justice like before. What you just did was not really liked by the noblemen here. They are stealing deeds from all over the place, and if you don’t like to talk about it, it is inevitable that these people will come together to deal with you. ”
Ling Xi suggested.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she instantly smiled.
“Princess Hua-Yang doesn’t believe you?”
Mu Ru Yue shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that …” He wanted to laugh. Could it be that Miss Ling Xi thinks that I’m an extremely kind-hearted person who doesn’t like to see bullying? An Xin, I won’t meddle in other people’s business. After all, he had nothing to do with me. Since I’ve obtained the benefits, there’s no need for me to steal what belongs to someone else. Every place has its own rules. Since I don’t have the ability to break them, I will obediently follow them. ”
The reason why she was so hard on Yang Zhili was because of that retarded intelligence of hers. She had bullied the original owner before, and had even tried to tarnish him repeatedly. If it wasn’t for the fact that the original owner was useful to the Mu Rong family, he would have been married off to Yang Zhili as a concubine.
Furthermore, she had long offended the Mu Rong family, so it was only adding to her hatred.
But to others? She wouldn’t be so tough. There were many capable people in the capital. Although the Seventh Marquis was protecting her, sometimes, he might not be able to protect her. Since she had just arrived, it was best for her not to trust anyone too much.
In this world, he was the only one who could be relied on.
Mu Ru Yue’s words made Ling Xi feel a burst of awkwardness. She really thought so.
“Lead the way, I just want to see the situation. He ate as much food as he could. I’m broke right now. ” Mu Ru Yue continued. Only now did Ling Xi relax. Thus, he left the northern region with Mu Ru Yue.
The first thing they did was go to the east side. It looked much better than the north side. At least, there were more thatched huts than the north side. It must be difficult for a girl to do things. [Is there a reason why life in the North District isn’t so good?]
As Mu Ru Yue was thinking this, she saw a person in servant clothing not far ahead of her. He threw a land deed to the person kneeling on the ground and swore, “Quickly scram! This place will be my young master’s territory from now on. If I see you here again, and the place where my young master is dirtied, I’ll skin you alive!”
The kneeling man nodded, then crawled away. When they left, they passed by Murong Yue and Ling Xi.
Ling Xi looked at the kneeling person and creased her brows. “Uncle Zhang?” What’s the matter with you? ”
“You know him?” Mu Ru Yue was slightly surprised.
“Yes, this is Uncle Zhang. She knows some medical skills. If anyone in the Eastern District has any ailments, it’s all because of Uncle Zhang.” As she spoke, Ling Xi asked again, “How did you get robbed as well?”
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and sighed hoarsely, “People from the eight great clans came to our east region yesterday and bought most of their land deeds. One silver ingot per person. “In the past, it was just a small fight, but this time, no one can resist.”
“I didn’t expect that even they would interfere.” Ling Xi could only helplessly sigh.
The eight great clans?
Mu Ru Yue pondered for a moment as she had some memories regarding this. There were eight families in the capital that were in business. It had existed since the founding of the Ling-Yue Empire. They had contributed money to the Ling-Yue Empire, allowing it to develop rapidly. From then on, they were intertwined and survived in this dynasty.
After generations of development, it was already unshakable.
These clans all had their own shops on the main streets of the capital. They each have their own special industries. Moreover, they were everywhere in the entire Ling-Yue Empire.
If they had taken a fancy to this place, it could only mean that they were really going to make it big. It was a pity that this kind of development was just a disaster for the people who were originally living here. When they moved, everyone would understand that this place was about to become the new center.
Those who wanted to earn money would definitely not let this place go.
Money could make people want to work like ghosts, and no one disliked money. Even the officials in the court would probably get a share of the profits. Mu Ru Yue rejoiced deeply as she thought that she had gotten to the west region first. What if he came to snatch food from the tiger after this?
That would be courting death.
However, if she was the first to reach the west region, no one would dare to challenge her.
“Uncle, you …” Why don’t you go to our west region and stay there for a while? ” Ling Xi looked at Uncle Zhang and suggested. As she spoke, she looked at Mu Ru Yue. Seeing that she didn’t object, she relaxed.
Hearing that, Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, “Girl, no matter where you go now, you cannot protect yourself. These people have long since set their eyes on your location, so you should know about it as well. If that Prime Minister’s wife’s nephew is still unable to take you down, then these people will probably go as well. You’d better find a merciful one and hand over the place. “It also prevents me from being humiliated just now like how I was earlier.”
“Uncle, that place is now owned by the Seventh Princess.” Ling Xi wasn’t afraid. That was what she said.
When Uncle Zhang heard that, he immediately knelt down when he saw Mu Ru Yue.
“There’s no need to be so courteous outside. I’m only here because I was invited by Miss Ling Xi.” Mu Ru Yue said indifferently. She then helped him up and said, “Old uncle, if you have nowhere else to go, please stay in the southern region of the city.”
“Thank you, wangfei.” As the old man spoke, he walked in that direction while trembling. Since Mu Ru Yue didn’t object, he naturally dared to go. Although the people from those families were showing off their might, they wouldn’t really do anything to the West District, which already had a rich man.
As for the people from the west region, in order to protect their lives, they would spread the news that their territory belonged to Mu Ru Yue as soon as possible. Mu Ru Yue didn’t even need to take the initiative to step forward. Those people would naturally think of the Seventh Prince.
He thought that once he moved to the west region, he would offend Feng Chen.
And this, was the benefit of power.
Because of the intervention of the eight great clans, the entire east district was in chaos. Everyone felt insecure and was eventually deprived of their land title. Some who knew how to talk were left to fend for themselves while the rest were not allowed to stay.
Looking at this scene, Murong Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She turned around to look at Ling Xi and said, “Other than that Uncle Zhang, no one is allowed to enter the west region. If you disobey me… I will throw you all out. ”
“Yes.” The bottom of Ling Xi’s heart trembled as she retracted her thoughts of wanting to keep these people. At the same time, she was also sighing with emotion. This wangfei was indeed as smart as ice and snow. Ling Xi became well-behaved, but Murong Yue was still a bit unhappy.
She looked at Ling Long and said unhappily, “Miss Ling Xi, you’re not being very honest. When these people arrive, there will be no place for them to go. If it wasn’t for what this wangfei said, do you plan on letting them stay? Have this wangfei protect him when the time comes? Who do you think I am? “
