Outside the Inspection Mansion, countless citizens had already gathered.
They were all looking inside anxiously, and many had been reduced to tears, for in the past half year, due to Li Hengsheng’s efforts, they had been living a life they’d never dared to imagine before.
He didn’t just provide them jobs, he also reduced their various taxes by ninety-five percent.
Allowing them to finally live like normal people.
There were even so families whose daughters were almost sold to the Ghost Race, it was thanks to Li Hengsheng’s intervention that they were rescued and reunited with their families.
Even the bridges over the small river outside the city and the pothole-ridden roads beyond were repaired under Li Hengsheng’s leadership.
The atmosphere of the entire Tushan City had improved as well, with noticeably more businesses, and those who used to collect protection fees and many of the bullies who relied on their power were largely dealt with by the Inspection Mansion, with countless arrests made.
Later, those with severe cases were executed by Li Hengsheng.
The overall environnt had greatly improved, and no one dared to cause trouble.
Who would have thought that just when things were looking up, Li Hengsheng would die?
How could they accept such a thing?
"Make way, make way!"
At this mont, a commotion arose from behind the crowd, and the citizens standing there felt themselves being pushed aside forcefully, so even directly falling to the roadside.
They were about to curse when they saw who it was and shut their mouths.
It turned out to be people from the Hua family.
Hua Zheliu.
Hua Zheliu still maintained his effeminate deanor, holding a handkerchief over his nose, looking disdainfully at the citizens around him, clearly bothering him, followed by other mbers of the Hua family pushing the crowd aside.
Upon hearing of Li Hengsheng’s death, the Hua family were more than happy.
They hurried Hua Zheliu to see if it was true.
"Seems like he’s really dead," Hua Zheliu said, squinting his eyes as he stood outside the Inspection Mansion.
"What are you from the Hua family doing here? Get lost!"
At that mont, Lin Qizhu, who was standing at the gate of the Inspection Mansion, shouted angrily when he saw Hua Zheliu.
"How dare you, you dog of the Inspection Mansion, how dare you speak to Master Hua like that!" several lackeys behind him scolded angrily.
"I think you have a death wish!" Lin Qizhu was about to make a move.
But at that mont, a voice ca from behind: "Lin Qizhu, at a ti like this, you still act so arrogantly. How long do you think your Inspection Mansion can hold out?"
Lin Qizhu looked up to find that people from the Mu Mansion had also arrived.
It was none other than the Mu Mansion’s head steward, Mu Jing.
This person held significant power in the Mu Mansion as well.
Lin Qizhu glared at Mu Jing: "What is the Mu Mansion here for?"
"What for? Of course, to pay respects to your lord," Mu Jing said with a smile.
"You’re not welco here."
Lin Qizhu said with hostility towards Mu Jing.
Lin Qizhu had no affection for people from the Mu Mansion.
"Is that so?"
Mu Jing sneered: "What if I insist on going in to pay respects?"
"Just a small Inspection Mansion, with even the Inspector dead, and yet so arrogant. It seems you really don’t see the situation clearly!" Hua Zheliu said lightly.
"I want to see who dares to step even half a foot into the Inspection Mansion today!"
Lin Qizhu shouted, and in an instant, seven or eight guards stepped forward, standing behind Lin Qizhu, ready to block the Hua family and Mu Mansion people from entering the Inspection Mansion.
"With just you bunch of trash?" Mu Jing showed no concern.
He himself was a Postnatal Peak expert, not to ntion tead up with Hua Zheliu, breaking into the Inspection Mansion would be a piece of cake.
"And ."
At this mont, Wan Guifeng’s figure appeared, leaping down from a rooftop, landing in front of Lin Qizhu, scanning the crowd, surprising both Mu Jing and Hua Zheliu.
Wan Guifeng!
Although Mu Jing had heard of Wan Guifeng arriving at White Snake Dao, he thought that with Li Hengsheng dead, Wan Guifeng would surely leave. Why was he still here?
It didn’t make sense!
"The Inspection Mansion does not allow outsiders in now, and that includes you two," Wan Guifeng said to them. "Anyone who trespasses will be executed without rcy."
This declaration made them hesitate.
They had been sent to confirm if Li Hengsheng was really dead; only then could they feel at ease.
But now they couldn’t verify this, what were they to do?
"You wield quite the authority, Divine Detective Wan, but don’t forget, this is White Snake Dao, not your Jiangxue Dao!"
At this mont, a carriage slowly approached, and a woman’s voice erged from within.
The crowd turned to see that it was a carriage from the Mu Mansion.
The coachman quickly got down from the carriage and lifted the curtain.
A woman in red stepped down from the carriage.
The appearance of the red-clad woman greatly surprised all the citizens present; it was none other than the current head of the Mu Mansion, Mu Hongxue!
She was also Mu San’s sister.
No one had expected her to co personally.
"It’s true, Divine Detective Wan, perhaps you’ve overstepped your bounds." At this ti, a few fast horses galloped over, the citizens hurriedly made way on both sides of the road, and a white-clad man with two subordinates arrived at the gate of the Inspection Mansion.
The white-clad man was noble and elegant, exuding an innate aura that dominated, giving an impression of strong authority!
In his hands, he played with two jade beads.
