When Chen Dong left in the morning, the Bai family was still fine. What was going on?
Chen Dong rushed forward immediately and found that the seal was stamped with the official seal of Youzhou City.
Government?
The lord of Youzhou City, Gu Zhengming, has always had a good relationship with Bai Yongsi, so why did he suddenly block the Bai family?
"You are looking for the Bai family. Everyone in their family has been taken away..." An old voice suddenly came.
Chen Dong looked back and saw an old man with a weathered face, holding a stack full of candied haws in his hand.
Chen Dong immediately rushed over and said with some excitement: "Old man, do you know what happened?"
Chen Dong was wearing a cloak, so the old man couldn't see his face, but from his voice he knew he was a young man, and said solemnly: "Young man, who are you from the Bai family?"
"I... I am a friend of the owner of the family. I was passing by here to visit, and I found out that their home was sealed..."
"Oh, if you had come earlier, even if you came yesterday, you would have seen them!"
"Old man, what happened?" Chen Dong asked anxiously.
"This is a long story..." The old man sighed and said, "I don't know how the Bai family offended Meng Wenxuan, the military commander of Jizhou County. There was an ancient city lord who protected the Bai family before, and in Youzhou City
It seems safe and sound. Now the ancient city lord has been transferred away and replaced by a new city lord. His name is Wang De. He is very powerful. Not only did he seal up all the Bai family's businesses and industries, he also arrested everyone in the Bai family.
It’s home!”
Wang De?!
Of course Chen Dong was shocked. Isn't that the head of the Setting Sun Sect? Why did he come to Youzhou City to become the city lord?
Of course, Chen Dong did not hesitate and immediately rushed out towards the city lord's mansion.
…
Chen Dong and Wang De have a long-standing feud.
At first, it was because Chen Dong killed Yu Zhengqing on Baiyun Peak. Wang De was furious and ordered Jiang Yifeng, who was also from the Setting Sun Sect, to repeatedly cause trouble for Chen Dong in Qingyun Temple.
Later, because of the psychic pill, Wang De came into conflict with the Bai family again.
Knowing that Chen Dong was behind the Bai family, Wang De immediately became more energetic. He hooked up with Tian Rong, the president of the Qingcheng Alchemist Union, and tried every means to make things difficult for the Bai family. He even sent two elders to the Bai family to show off their power.
Of course, these two elders were later killed by the Bai family.
From then on, Wang De hated the Bai family. However, the Setting Sun Sect was a sect in Qilu County, and there was really nothing they could do against the Bai family in Youzhou City, Jizhou County.
But after many operations, as well as Tian Rong's connections and connections, and after spending a certain amount of spirit stones, Wang De finally got his wish and became the lord of Youzhou City!
Wang De is an extremely narrow-minded villain, he is always careless, and he must avenge himself, and he will definitely not let go of the Bai family.
On the first day he took office, he sealed up the Bai family's business and property, and took all the Bai family members to the city lord's palace.
The City Lord's Mansion, as the name suggests, is where the City Lord lives.
The office is also here.
The court hall is located in the front yard of the city lord's mansion.
At this moment, Wang De was sitting in the court, showing off his power and his brows were dancing with joy.
Downstairs, there were dozens of members of the Bai family, all of whom were shackled on their hands and feet. They were only adult men. Some old people and children were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Standing at the front is, of course, Bai Yongsi, the head of the Bai family!
Bai Yongsi certainly didn't have any fear, and his face looked upright.
"Master Bai, hello, do you remember me?" Wang De pointed to his nose and said with a smile on his face.
Bai Yongsi did not answer, but stared at Wang De angrily.
"Don't remember? Then let me remind you..." Wang De said cheerfully.
"No need to remind me, I remember!" Bai Yongsi said through gritted teeth.
How could he not remember it? We had met before at the Jiangnan Pavilion auction house in Qingcheng. Later, Wang De planned to snatch psychic pills by force in an alley. His shamelessness and despicability impressed Bai Yongsi deeply.
"It's good to remember. I thought you forgot!" Wang De was even more proud and said happily: "Master Bai, do you know why I captured you?"
"What's the reason? Isn't it just public revenge?" Bai Yongsi sneered.
"Fart!" Wang De slapped the desk and said fiercely: "This city lord is upright and has a clear mind. How can he avenge his private revenge? I tell you, the reason why I arrested you is because you have done many evil things in Youzhou City and bullied the city, which has attracted many people.
If you are dissatisfied, they will take you to court! It is true that we have personal grudges, but I will not do that kind of thing. Everything is handled fairly, reasonably and legally!"
"Hahahaha——" Bai Yongsi raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Our Bai family has been in Youzhou City for hundreds of years. I can't say that our reputation is particularly good, but it is definitely not bad! I
I don’t believe that someone would sue me!”
"You don't believe it? Let me see it now! Bring witnesses!" Wang De sneered again.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged man walked into the hall and stood next to Bai Yongsi.
"Li Shutong?!" Bai Yongsi's eyes suddenly widened.
The Youzhou Li family is a large family that can keep pace with the Bai family. The two families have a lot of overlap and competition in business.
This Li Shutong is the head of the Li family.
When Gu Zhengming was the city lord before, because Bai Yongsi had a better relationship with him, the Bai family received a lot of care.
At that time, Li Shutong held a grudge, but had no choice but to bear it for the time being. On the surface, he and Bai Yongsi were brothers, but in fact, he wanted to tear him into pieces.
After Wang De took office, he knew that the Bai family had deep roots in Youzhou City, and he was afraid that he would not be able to move him without the cooperation of others. After some open and covert investigations, he and Li Shutong soon got together.
Both of them wanted to clean up the Bai family, so of course they colluded and caused today's scene.
Thinking that Bai Yongsi was going to be unlucky soon, Li Shutong couldn't help laughing, but he had a bitter and resentful look on his face: "Master Bai, I have suffered so much from you these years, you and Gu Zhengming
Joining forces, they have taken away so many houses and property from me! Now that we have Lord Qingtian, King Wangde and City Master, I see how arrogant you are still, your retribution is coming!"
"Li Shutong, you are so slanderous!" With his eyes as big as copper bells and all the veins on his face exposed, Bai Yongsi roared: "In Youzhou City, our family has a small market, but you are short of gold and short of liang, so you can only make up for the shortcomings."
Well, our reputation once plummeted, and we were on the verge of bankruptcy ten years ago! It was you who came to me crying, knelt down in the hall of the Bai family, and begged me to save the Li family.
!At that time, my clan members advised me not to care about you, and even asked me to take the opportunity to devour your Li family. But I really couldn’t bear it, so I helped you and publicly stood up for you in the city, saying that you had changed.
Well, after you become a good person, your business has recovered little by little... Li Shutong, I don't expect you to repay this kindness, but you can't turn around and harm me like this, right?"
Bai Yongsi did help the Li family in the beginning, but now Bai Yongsi brings up the old matter again, making Li Shutong feel extremely uncomfortable.
Li Shutong gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't it interesting to keep talking about that kind of thing? It's obviously your Bai family who used tricks to steal the business, but I had to endure all the hardships to ask you to show your favor! At that time, Gu Zhengming supported you,
I don’t dare to do anything to you, now that you have the king’s city lord, your good days are over!”
Then, Li Shutong turned his head and said: "Master Wang, these are the crimes of the Bai family that have bullied the market and brought disaster to the village for many years. Please take a look at them."
Li Shutong stepped forward and presented a thick complaint.
This complaint was of course compiled by Li Shutong and Wang De overnight.
While Wang De was flipping through the pages, he blew his beard and glared, slammed the table and said: "Well, you Bai Yongsi, you have done so many evil things, robbing other people's houses, occupying other people's land, even an eighty-year-old old woman.
If you don't let me go and force you to take her home as your concubine, are you still a human being? It's simply lawless!"
Of course Bai Yongsi was so angry that he was shaking all over: "When did I rob other people's houses, occupy other people's land, and when did I forcefully marry an eighty-year-old old woman as a concubine..."
"Okay, you still don't admit it, right? Now that the witnesses and material evidence are all there, don't even think about denying it! Come on, drag me down and behead me!"
Wang De grabbed a sign from the hall and threw it down. Several city guards in armor immediately rushed up, held Bai Yongsi down and dragged him outside.
Bai Yongsi himself is a third-level psychic, but the shackles in this world are made of special metals that can suppress the internal force of the body, so although he is full of anger, he is unable to resist.
Of course, the people of the Bai family were shouting and screaming, but there was nothing anyone could do.
Li Shutong stood nearby and laughed "haha", his face filled with unprecedented pride: "Bai Yongsi, Bai Yongsi, you died in front of me after all. Youzhou City will be the world of my Li family from now on..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.
Li Shutong's smiling face also became extremely incredible at this moment.
He slowly lowered his head and saw a sword sticking out of his chest.
The blood soaked his clothes bit by bit.
"What...what's going on..." Li Shutong was sweating profusely and wanted to turn his head to see who it was, but he had no strength left and his whole body was as limp as mud.
Li Shutong's body suddenly fell forward, and the dead body fell to the ground.
This turn of events naturally shocked everyone in the hall.
Everyone looked behind Li Shutong and saw a man wearing a black cloak standing there, holding a sword dripping with blood and shining with cold light.
Others didn't know it was Chen Dong, but Bai Yongsi knew.
"Why are you here?!" Bai Yongsi looked surprised: "Go quickly, don't stay here..."
He knows that Wang De will not let go of the Bai family, let alone Chen Dong!
When the city guards sealed off the Bai family, Chen Dong happened to be away, and Bai Yongsi thought he had escaped.
I didn't expect it to come again.
"Hahahahaha..."
Wang De was so old-fashioned. When he saw Bai Yongsi being so flustered, he immediately guessed who it was. He was as excited as anything, his face was as red as a lantern, and he immediately roared at the top of his lungs: "Quick, kill this guy!"
