Chapter 918 Bustling Qingyuan City

Although she already had a lot of gold, silver, treasures and weapons in her space, she still never had too much money.

Her greatest pleasure was to plunder all of King Ping's wealth and weapons.

Hearing that she wanted to go with him, Mo Beihan was naturally overjoyed:

"Okay, maybe in three days, I'll come find you then."

Three days later, Mo Beihan came to find Qiao Ran as expected, and they went to Qingyuan City together.

Qingyuan City is located to the east of Luoyang City, farther away from the capital than Luoyang City.

This place is not as bustling and prosperous as the capital and Luoyang City, but it is also more lively than ordinary provincial capitals.

After all, the geographical location here is not far from Luoyang or the capital.

The Lord of Qingyuan City seemed to understand the truth that "to get rich, build roads first". He built the official road between Qingyuan City and Luoyang City very wide and smooth, and attracted some merchants from Luoyang City to Qingyuan City, which boosted the economy here.

When Qiao Ran and the others arrived at Qingyuan City, they saw wide streets lined with shops, crowded with people and cars, and many customers coming in and out of the shops.

"It seems that the tragedy of the extermination of the City Lord's Mansion did not affect these people much!"

Qiao Ran sighed.

Mo Beihan looked forward, which was the direction of the City Lord's Mansion:

"The Lord of Qingyuan City is just like King Heping, a greedy man who has been oppressing the people for years, imposing heavy taxes on merchants and farmers, and the people are suffering. The destruction of the Lord is a relief for them, and they are so happy. However, in order to avoid being affected, no one dares to celebrate."

Qiao Ran nodded:

"Indeed, the removal of corrupt officials is like removing the huge mountain that weighs on them. In the future, Qingyuan City should be as prosperous and lively as Luoyang City."

It was lunch time, so the two of them found a nearby restaurant with a large customer flow to have lunch.

The two found a small table near the railing on the second floor and sat down. From here, not only could they look down and see what was happening in the lobby on the first floor, but with their hearing, they could also hear what the guests at the tables on the first and second floors were saying.

Although no one dared to celebrate or talk about it loudly, many people still discussed the case of the massacre in the City Lord's Mansion in a low voice that only their tablemates could hear.

Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan both have excellent hearing. As long as they concentrate and listen carefully, they can hear the conversation at any table they want.

"...I heard that the city lord's mansion, including the master, servants and guards, a total of more than 380 people, were all dead in the mansion overnight. The government has been investigating for many days but still has no clue. No one knows who has such ability."

"Could it be that he angered some master sect and wiped out the entire sect in anger?"

"...Killing them with one strike is considered lucky. I heard that many women and boys were raped before they died. They couldn't even die with a clear conscience..."

"I've heard what you said, too. They died miserably! I heard that many of them were tortured to death. Those beasts!"

"He died well! The dog city lord was extremely licentious. He used to send people to search for beautiful women and boys everywhere. Those who could enter the city lord's mansion were all greedy and vain!"

"You can't say that. I heard that many of them were forced into the mansion. They are all pitiful people! It's a pity that not only did they lose their innocence, but they also lost their lives."

"In that man-eating devil's den, death is also a kind of relief. I don't know which kind-hearted person killed that dog city lord! He really avenged the people of our Qingyuan City!"

"Hey, you... I don't think the man who killed the city lord is a good person. Which good person would rape someone before killing them? Those women and boys are so innocent."

"Who cares? It's good enough that the city lord can be killed! There won't be any officials worse than the city lord taking over Qingyuan City in the future, right? I just want to thank that kind-hearted person who acted bravely and righteously!"

"You...! You are unreasonable!"

Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan listened to the people at one table quarreling and could not help but look at each other and smile helplessly.
