A daily intelligence report; in chaotic times and famine years, grain is plentiful.

It took Wang Laoqi quite a while to come to his senses.

"Who did this? Was it that troublemaker from Lingtou Village?"

Wang Laoqi asked sternly.

"Yes, sir."

The servants nodded repeatedly.

He was also unaware that the scene was chaotic at the time, and the bandits who stormed into the execution ground were all masked and highly skilled, and did not look like villagers.

"This is rebellion! It's blatant insurrection!"

Wang Laoqi was so angry that he started cursing.

"These unruly citizens are so lawless, daring to storm the execution ground!"

Aside from the troublemakers in Lingtou Village, Wang Laoqi couldn't think of anyone else who would go to rescue Chen Mo.

If Chen Mo doesn't die now, he will surely become a major threat in the future.

Wang Laoqi suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Chengyue, and said in a pleading tone, "Master Huang, you must stand up and make a decision! Chen Mo is a traitor now, the government must send troops to wipe out Lingtou Village!"

"This is outrageous! This Chen Mo is really tough."

Huang Chengyue's face was also gloomy at this moment.

He never imagined that a mere villager could cause such a commotion in the northern part of the city.

This has never happened since the Huang family took control of the North City.

This is no longer a simple case of murder; it is blatant rebellion.

Not only was the government humiliated, but Huang Chengyue also completely lost face!

"Did those people escape from the north of the city?"

Huang Chengyue suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.

"They escaped," the servant replied, head bowed. "The city's soldiers couldn't stop them at all; they could only watch helplessly as the bandits fled."

"What a bunch of useless trash!"

Huang Chengyue was furious again and kicked over the stool next to him.

"What's the point of the government keeping these good-for-nothings around!"

He never imagined that the soldiers in the northern city would be so incompetent.

"Where is General Zhao? Aren't his troops stationed outside the city? Did they try to stop them?"

Wang Laoqi asked urgently.

No matter what, we absolutely cannot let Chen Mo escape back to Lingtou Village today.

"I didn't know... I rushed over to inform you gentlemen as soon as those thieves appeared."

The servant replied in a low voice.

At this moment, several government officials appeared outside the private room.

"Master Huang, something has happened."

The constables arrived late, ready to report on the situation in the city.

"I see!"

Huang Chengyue was furious.

The constable immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

"Is Yang Lide dead?"

Huang Chengyue slowly stepped forward.

"Reporting to Master Huang, Lord Yang is currently unconscious, but..."

The constable lowered his head.

"Have those thieves been caught?"

"No, not yet..."

"inability!"

Huang Chengyue shouted angrily again.

"Immediately order General Zhao to lead troops to pursue the bandits. If even one escapes, I will report this to the imperial court!"

Huang Chengyue gave the order sternly.

"General Zhao..." The constable's expression changed.

"What's wrong with him?"

"There are no troops under General Zhao in the north city; they have remained inactive."

"How audacious! How dare they just stand by and watch the traitors escape!"

Huang Chengyue's eyes widened in anger, understanding Zhao Canjiang's thoughts.

Seeing the turmoil in the northern city, Lieutenant General Zhao was probably secretly delighted.

The private room was deathly silent; everyone stood frozen in place.

They all knew that the northern part of the city was now in chaos.

A death row inmate was rescued right under the noses of the officers and soldiers, while the county magistrate's fate remained unknown.

If this gets out, the entire northern city will be thrown into chaos.

Huang Chengyue was well aware that he could no longer sit there drinking tea.

Originally, taking action to deal with Chen Mo was to do Wang Laoqi a favor.

But now, if Chen Mo doesn't die, there will be endless troubles!

"Now, gather everyone together and put them on high alert. Anyone who dares to touch anything belonging to the Huang family will be killed on sight!"

Huang Chengyue gave another stern order.

He was well aware that with the chaos in the northern part of the city, it was hard to guarantee that those unruly people wouldn't take the opportunity to loot.

Compared to hunting down Chen Mo, Huang Chengyue was more concerned about his own property.

If the bandits dared to storm the execution ground in the north of the city, they would likely also target the Huang family's businesses.

As long as the North City remains under the Huang family's control, not a single moment of chaos can occur.

After giving these instructions, Huang Chengyue turned and gave Wang Laoqi a cold look, saying, "Master Wang, please do as you see fit."

After saying that, he hurriedly left with his men.

In the private room, only Wang Laoqi and a few local gentry members remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Then, Master Wang, we'll take our leave as well."

The people next to them also left.

Wang Laoqi's face was ashen, his anger still lingering.

This sudden turn of events threw him into a state of confusion.

He gritted his teeth and decided to set off back to Shannan Town, since that was his base of operations and he wasn't afraid that Chen Mo's band of thieves would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

After pondering for a moment, he left the private room.

Just as he stepped out the door, a figure rushed over and stood in front of Wang Laoqi.

"Master! Something terrible has happened!"

The visitor was again a servant of the Wang family.

Hearing those familiar words, Wang Laoqi felt extremely uneasy once again.

"explain!"

Wang Laoqi was already annoyed, and seeing the servant's flustered expression made him even angrier.

"Young Master, something has happened to the Young Master!"

The servant said, trembling.

"What happened?!"

Wang Laoqi's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Young Master... he's dead..."

The servant knelt on the ground.

"What did you say?!"

Wang Laoqi's mind went completely blank for a moment, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"Say it again, what's wrong with Mang'er?"

He couldn't believe what he had just said.

"Master, I saw with my own eyes that the young master and young mistress were killed by that Chen Mo..."

The servant said with a sob in his voice.

If he hadn't escaped quickly enough, he probably would have become a victim of Chen Mo's blade.

Upon hearing this, Wang Laoqi's veins bulged.

Chen Mo?

It's that villain again!

Wang Laoqi grabbed the servant by the collar and started punching and kicking him.

"What are you bunch of useless trash for?!"

He vented his anger wildly.

After a moment, he recovered and almost fainted.

The servants nearby hurriedly helped Wang Laoqi up, saying in a flustered manner, "Master..."

Wang Laoqi was completely unable to recover.

He was the only son in the Wang family, and they always spoiled him. How could he just disappear like that?

"Chen Mo, you beast, I will definitely kill you!"

Wang Laoqi cursed loudly, still unable to recover from the blow.

After a long while, he slowly stood up and exclaimed, "Take me to see this quickly!"

The servants beside him dared not delay, and despite the pain, led Wang Laoqi out.

The streets of the northern city were still in chaos.

The incident that just happened has caused panic among the people, and some people with ulterior motives took advantage of the chaos to loot shops.

Wang Laoqi staggered after the servant, running all the way into a street.

At this moment, in a corner of the street, lie two corpses.

"master……"

The Wang family servants who were on guard nearby immediately showed fear when they saw Wang Laoqi coming.

They knew very well that with Wang Mang's death, they, as those who protected him, would also be subject to punishment.
