More than a thousand taels of silver were confiscated from Ueda Reita's yard alone. Jiangxiong Dawu, as his father-in-law, would only be able to confiscate more gold and silver.
During the Warring States period, people were displaced from place to place. As imperial officials, their salaries were only so small. I don't know where the extra silver came from. It was just the people's wealth and the people's support.
Sara touched the boxes of gold at her feet and sighed: "Put them all into the treasury for future use."
The harm done to the people by corrupt officials has been done. She can't find out and return them one by one. She can only accept them first and use them for civil and people's livelihood in the future.
The soldiers came in cheering and took down all the boxes containing gold.
At this time, Kyousuke, the second god, hurriedly entered the palace: "City Lord, Tomoko was rescued from the dungeon. I immediately chased after the news, but I couldn't catch them. Please forgive me, City Lord."
After saying that, Ergami Kyousuke knelt on the ground.
As the most capable general around Sara, it was his responsibility to let such an important prisoner escape.
Sara thought about the information provided by Ergami Kyosuke for a moment, guessing that it should be a good thing done by Jiangxiong Dawu's remaining subordinates. Otherwise, at this critical moment, who else would be willing to take the risk to go to the dungeon to save people.
She narrowed her eyes, asking Nigami Kyousuke for a definite answer, "Who do you think rescued her?"
It’s not that Nigami Kyosuke found nothing when he followed Tomoko, he just didn’t catch Tomoko, the key prisoner: “Our people captured a few people, and after interrogation, they admitted that they were subordinates of Exiong Daigo. The person who took Tomoko away must be Exiong Daigo. They have the best reason to save people who have not dispersed after death.”
Tomoko was just a well-bred young lady, so she just ran away. Sara didn't particularly care about this, but she did want to know if there were anything else.
Nigami Kyousuke did not hide it. He did have one more thing that he did not report: "Reita Ueda died tragically at home. He was already dead when he was found."
Everyone knows that Reita Ueda, as Tomoko's husband and Exiong Daigo's son-in-law, took refuge in Sara at the most important moment, dealing a fatal blow to his father-in-law's family.
This blow was undoubtedly extremely serious for Jiang Xiong's family. Tomoko mistakenly believed that her husband was a good man she could rely on, so that her father who loved her most was beheaded. The whole family withered because of this, and it would have been crazy to replace her.
The forces left behind by Jiangxiong Dawu took Tomoko away, and also killed Reita Ueda, a rip-off. Sara was not particularly surprised, to say the least, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Reita Ueda is not a good official, not even a smart one. He uses his family as a sign of sincerity and surrender, and should be treated with courtesy, so as to set a good example to other enemies. But she was sick, just thinking about it made her sick to death.
Sara said that she was not a good person and sighed, "It would be better if he died, otherwise I don't know how to arrange him."
When she doesn't get help from others, she is willing to pretend to be stupid to gain the trust of others. When she gains a certain amount of power, she attracts talents by acting as a wise master.
Now that he has the power and talents, when it comes time to show off his talents, Sara doesn't want to be hampered by anything he does because of the constraints of his image.
It can be said that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. She hoped that the people below would be mentally prepared.
As expected, after Sara finished speaking, the second god Kyosuke was stunned.
Sara and Kyosuke the Second God had been exposed a bit before, and Kyousuke the Second God had been prepared for it. He was still stunned when he heard it again. His thoughts were so complicated at the moment.
Of course it's good that the master is a kind person, but it doesn't matter if he is ruthless. In this way, the great cause can be completed faster, and it is too late for them as subordinates to be happy.
Futagami Kyousuke felt that it would be bad if he didn't speak, so he talked about other related things: "Our people protected Ryota Dogo's family in advance, and nothing happened to their family."
Does Tomoko hate Reita Ueda? She definitely does, otherwise she wouldn't have someone kill her before they parted. As for Ryota Doigai who provided the key evidence to overthrow her father, she must also hate him.
Last night, a group of ninjas silently surrounded Ryota Tsuchai's residence. Every knife was laced with deadly poison. If Sara hadn't deployed protective personnel in advance, their family would probably have been found dead at home today.
Why did Reita Ueda and Ryota Togo offend Jiangxiong's family, but Sara only sent people to protect the latter? Nigami Kyosuke thought about this, and after thinking about it a little, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
As a subordinate, you just need to obey orders, and it's best not to inquire about anything else.
Sara saw that the second god Kyousuke was really frightened and did not reveal his temper any further: "If you can bring Tomoko back, then bring him back. It's not good to let the tiger go back to the mountain after all."
The Second God Kyosuke nodded sharply and said firmly: "Yes!"
Heroes emerge in troubled times. In the past, there was a pampered princess like Sara who suddenly became the new city lord. The second god Kyousuke did not dare to underestimate anyone. If Tomoko grew up to be a being like Sara, he did not dare to imagine what a disaster it would be.
Sara just didn't want to make any mistakes. How could the second god Kyosuke think so much? She just looked at him in surprise and waved his hand to let him go.
She changed from a weak princess to this just because her soul changed. However, the two gods Kyousuke didn’t know.
The second god Kyosuke withdrew from the study, and soon summoned the guard of the city lord's palace, telling him to protect Sara: "Exiong Daigo's daughter escaped from the dungeon, and Ryota Doai, who betrayed them, died at home. After that, they They might come to assassinate the city lord, so you have to protect the city lord and not let the city lord make any mistakes."
The risk of supporting a female city lord is undoubtedly extremely high. Even if she leaves early, after such a long time, the city lords from other countries will definitely believe that they are determined to follow her. If something happens to her, all of them will not be able to eat well.
Even if they have soldiers and connections, other city lords may not accept them.
The general of the city lord's palace didn't mind that he overstepped his authority in the matter of both prosperity and loss: "After that, I will strengthen the defense and make sure not to let the enemy have any opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Nigami Kyosuke nodded slightly.
The general of the castle lord's palace, Takuto Nakano, saw that Kyousuke the Second God was still not leaving after finishing his words. He was confused for a while and asked hesitantly: "Do you have anything else?"
One is responsible for the affairs of the court, and the other is responsible for the guards of the city lord's palace. Just remind them. If you continue to give orders like your superiors, Nakano Takuto will feel unhappy.
As a civil servant who has been involved in politics for many years, how could Ergami Kyosuke not know what Nakano Takuto was thinking, and said: "I am still very worried about the safety of the city lord. You also know that Jiangxiong Dawu's power in Asano City will be eliminated even if it is once After destroying it, the remaining energy cannot be underestimated. I am just afraid that there are still their people in the city lord's mansion."
Sometimes if you want to kill someone, the only way is to mutiny. There are many ways to kill someone without being noticed, such as poisoning. Nigami Kyousuke's worries were not unreasonable, and Nakano Takuto frowned upon hearing this.
If it were just the remnant forces of Exiong Daigo, the Second God Kyosuke wouldn't be that worried.
He glanced at the former subordinate of his old friend in front of him, and pulled the person to teach him earnestly: "This is the first, and the second is that there is another force in the court. In the past, that force could not deal with Jiang Xiong's Dawu, but now Jiang Xiong has Dawu If they fall, they will fall into the trap and help those people to harm the city lord."
Speaking of another force in the DPRK, I am afraid that every civilian knows it. It is impossible for Takuto Nakano not to know, and his expression suddenly became stern.
Nakano Takuto doesn't have any reluctance now. He just hopes that his former boss can give more guidance: "What should we do? Since you have thought of it, there must be a way, but you have to teach me."
Kyousuke the Second God pulled the person aside, looked around and said, "You still have to discuss this matter with the city lord. If you can lure the snake out of its hole..."
Thanks to the old man Kyousuke Nishen for reminding me, otherwise he, a big old man, would never have thought of it. However, there is no need to talk to Nakano Takuto about this.
After finishing speaking, Nakano Takuto felt his mind clearing up. However, he was still a little confused: "You just came out of the city lord's place. Why didn't you tell the city lord directly?"
It was about human relationships and Sara's safety, so Nakano Takuto had to be cautious and stared at the second god Kyosuke.
Kyousuke the Second God slapped Takuto Nakano on the head and said angrily: "That's not because I have a good relationship with General Zuo. You are his former subordinate. I want you to make a great contribution. If you don't want it, you can just let me go and talk to the city lord." explain!"
In the past, one of them was a general and the other was a lieutenant. Needless to say, their relationship was a fateful friendship. Nigami Kyousuke said that for the sake of General Zuo, there was nothing unusual about what he said.
Nakano Takuto pursed his lips, feeling more and more that he was nothing before, but because of a reminder from his boss, he thought he was taking over.
He handed it over and apologized honestly: "I'm sorry before, but I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
The Second God Kyosuke waved his hand, somewhat embarrassed, but he hid it very well: "Care is not a concern. It is the Second God Kyosuke who told me about this matter with the city lord. I will tell you about it."
Why Nigami Kyosuke reminded Nakano Takuto is a long story, and Fumiomi had all the twists and turns in his mind.
I heard that the general of the City Lord's Mansion in front of me was the sister of a good friend who married a talented man from the overlord country. Befriending him is one more way to understand your powerful enemy.
Time passes day by day.
The worries of Futokami Kyousuke and Nakano Takuto were not unreasonable. Tomoko had fled to nowhere with his people, and he actually dared to send someone to secretly poison the Sara tea, a poison that had no antidote.
Sara used a trick to drink the tea that had been manipulated, and the poisoner and those who were behind it were all caught.
I don’t know if Tomoko and the mastermind who contributed to the incident were frightened by the news. They had a thief heart but not a thief courage.
They were timid, and Sara only caught some small minions, which was not very enjoyable, while Nakano Takuto made meritorious deeds but not great ones.
…
The fall of Jiang Xiong Dawu reminded many people with different intentions. Sara handled the accumulated official affairs in Asuoye City, and even arranged the follow-up matters that needed to be done by the officials of Asuoye City, and no major incident happened again.
After finishing everything and handing over the affairs of the DPRK and China to the Second God Kyousuke again, Sara prepared to return to Shuangtree City with nothing to do.
The distance between Asuoye City and Shuangshu City was not far. It only took two or three days to drive slowly. The mountain ghosts deterred the monsters from attacking. The driving speed was not the fastest but faster than before.
Traveling day by day, rising in the east and setting in the west, and resting one night, the soldiers prepared food for the mountain ghosts as usual.
The mountain ghost was eating well, but suddenly it looked in one direction. Sara was sitting next to it. Thinking that the monster was coming without eyes, she signaled and stood on its shoulder.
She had just stood firm when the mountain ghost stretched its neck: "Roar!"
The moon and stars are sparse, and the countryside is fairly bright at the moment.
The huge body under his feet slowly stood up, and then started running violently. Sara held on to the mountain ghost's skin tightly to prevent him from being thrown off during the run.
When the mountain ghost stopped, Sara was about to ask when she saw the familiar moon-white figure in front of her, and her words stuck in her throat.
At this moment, her hair was messy due to the running of the mountain ghost, but even though he hadn't seen her for a long time, he was still so noble.
The old friend is still the same, but there is one more person beside her. Sara has broken off her love and is even more powerful than before. What surprises her is not the appearance of Sesshomaru. What shocks her the most is the little girl beside him - Ling.
Ling grabbed a corner of Sesshomaru's clothes, revealed her head from behind, and said cautiously: "Wow, what a beautiful big sister, does His Highness Sesshomaru know her?"
