Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife Chapter 109: Just You Wait!

"A Mu, the information you requested!"

Long Yue and Li Qingmu returned to the Qin Mansion, only to find that Xiang Yin had already arrived, holding the information they needed.

To be fair, Xiang Yin’s father had been in business for many years and knew many people, so it was quick to inquire about so news.

"This is the Liang Family’s business project, take a look!"

Li Qingmu took it and glanced at it, initially stunned, then furious: "Smuggling private salt? Such audacity!"

Salt, iron, gold, silver, and copper are all business of the court, strictly prohibited for common people to engage in, yet the Liang Family dared to dabble in the salt mine trade, indicating a complex relationship behind the scenes.

To transport private salt, the Liang Family must have special channels, at which point the mountain bandits co into play, aning they are colluding with these bandits.

Moreover, this matter had been ongoing for years with no movent from the court, indicating that soone at the top was covering for them; this is a case of officials shielding one another.

The Liang Family’s waters run deep. Li Qingmu’s appointnt here was certainly not by chance; soone arranged it purposely!

He could choose to back down, but if he did, that person would attack him, accusing him of dereliction...

Dereliction is minor, but if they manipulate things through special channels, it could beco a major problem.

"This puts in a dilemmas, good tactics!"

Li Qingmu sneered; the other side was calculating, but he was not about to lose this match.

"Your sister is quite amusing, always trying to harm you, but only using tactics. Why doesn’t she just send assassins to kill you? End it once and for all!"

Li Qingmu was joking, but Long Yue did not find it amusing. She sneered lightly and said, "She wants to! But there’s a reason she can’t make a move."

"Oh, that’s true. As the legitimate daughter of the Minister Mansion and granddaughter of General Xiping, if she were inexplicably assassinated, it would be a big problem."

That’s why she painstakingly tried to push them into the mud, ordering assassins to kill her to prevent them from prospering in officialdom.

Killing Long Yue would be troubleso, but killing a country boy involves fewer concerns.

"Ha, it’s laughable. We never et, yet we are constantly at odds..." Long Yue recalled how in a previous life she was so miserably hard, and felt sad and angry. She clenched her small hands, wondering when she might go to the Capital City and truly confront her?

Li Qingmu sensed the discontent in his little wife’s heart and imdiately held her tightly. He said nothing, just silently hugging her, offering comfort.

In the following days, Li Qingmu went to the governnt office very late, which greatly annoyed the Liang Family mbers who had been waiting early; so even pondered if they should cover him with a sack and beat him when he entered?

"I’m not coming tomorrow!"

"Right, I’m not coming either!"

And thus, those who didn’t co faced a tragedy.

One day, Li Qingmu uncharacteristically arrived before dawn, and there were barely any people in the governnt office, except for two who weren’t from the Liang Family and had arrived early per Li Qingmu’s instructions.

"From tomorrow on, you two will be in charge here at the governnt office!"

Li Qingmu said lightly, causing the two little governnt officials to be both joyful and apprehensive. One worried and asked: "Sir, what about the Liang Family..."

"They have nothing to do with you!"

The Liang Family dared to smuggle private salt, and once this was investigated, it would inevitably lead to an even bigger case. Whether the Liang Family would still exist then was unknown, so there was no need to worry.

The Liang Family mbers ca lazily, ready as always to play gas and make rry in the governnt office. But as they entered, they saw Li Qingmu sitting upright at the top, glaring coldly at them.

"Why don’t I see anyone reporting here early every day as ordered?"

As they ca in, they were loudly reprimanded, and a young mber of the Liang Family, seeing Li Qingmu alone, spouted, "Brothers, it’s just this little brat alone, what are we afraid of? Go and teach him a lesson!"

"Right, teach him a lesson, toss him in a sack, beat him and throw him in the river for the fish to eat!"

This person had just drunk a little alcohol, which emboldened him, making him feel mighty and determined to deal with Li Qingmu.

Li Qingmu sneered, these few little rascals thought they could tackle him? Not to ntion that his people were nearby, he himself, after almost two months of training by his little wife, had beco quite skillful!

"Get him!"

The person shouted again, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed forward. But before he got close to Li Qingmu, a brick flew through the air, with a bang, hitting the back of his head.

"Ah, I... er..."

The man groaned, wiped the back of his head, saw his hand covered in blood, shrieked, and fainted.

"Soone hit, soone killed, the County Magistrate killed soone!"

The other Liang Family mbers nearby began to scream, holding their heads and rushing out, only to be driven back in by the Qin Family servants who had been ambushing outside.

"Who killed soone?"

Li Qingmu’s eerie voice sent chills through everyone, and soone quickly responded: "Uh... have rcy, sir, we misspoke, yes, misspoke!"

Li Qingmu saw through it; the Liang Family was just a gang of cowards, bullying the weak. Seeing him not being easy to provoke, they started pleading for rcy.

But he had no interest in negotiating with them, coldly said: "Since you don’t want to serve properly at the governnt office, leave, just go wherever you ca from!"

Well, wasn’t this the sa thing they told Li Qingmu before, and now here he returned it to them without missing a beat, this person was too much!

"Leave!"

Li Qingmu said sternly with a cold face, leaving them no room to hesitate, loudly commanded, and the hidden Qin Family servants ca out, forcing them to pack and go!

"Alright, alright, you’re ruthless, huh? Okay, you made things so absolute today, don’t bla us for being rciless in the future!"

Liang Fugui looked at the ss in the governnt office, left so harsh words, and turned to leave with a group of family mbers.

"Master, they’ve co to hate us, managing Gaoyang County will be difficult..."

Once they left, Elder Qin said worriedly.

"Do you think they would behave if we treated them kindly?"

Li Qingmu asked and shook his head, pulling out a piece of information.

"Elder Qin, this docunt details the actions of the Liang Family over the years, oppressing the villagers, running amok, kidnapping won, committing all sorts of evil! Do you expect them to behave just because we show so restraint?"

Elder Qin was embarrassed, "This is indeed the old servant’s mistake."

"Elder Qin was not necessarily wrong, just seeing things from a different perspective than I. Elder Qin, Gaoyang County will be quite chaotic in the days to co, we need to recruit quickly and build this office to efficiently manage affairs."

Li Qingmu’s drastic asure was satisfying but also brought headaches that required gradual resolution.
