I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

As for those who came back early, they all had the full support of their families. If Zhao Kangping wanted to touch them, he couldn't do it openly, and had to use underhanded tactics against them.

But at this juncture, they must have been on guard, and if he took action again, he would probably be counterattacked.

After pondering for a while, he decided to either find those who were suspected of faking their deaths and get rid of them, or wait until the storm has passed and then take action against those who came back early.

"It seems like it's almost noon. Let's go back first." After being moisturized, Nangong Ruyun's face became much rosier and more radiant.

"Could Aunt Yun help with the things you mentioned? After all, I'm the former leader of the Xianyun Sect, and Junior Sister still listens to me. It's pretty easy for me to ask her to help me kill a few people."

She knew that the people from Jianya Palace had killed Xue Qing and nearly caused Zhao Kangping to lose his beloved disciple, so it was natural for him to want revenge on them.

Zhao Kangping refused, "No, how can we implicate the Xianyun Sect?"

"If the matter is leaked, it will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the relationship between Xianyun Sect and Ziyang Holy Land."

"I'll handle it myself. They're just a few small fish and shrimp."

Zhao Kangping was determined and Aunt Yun had no choice.

She had given herself to him and was already his woman.

Since he didn't want to get involved, she decided not to meddle.

The two of them put on their clothes, tidied their appearance and left the inn.

When they returned to the City Lord's Mansion, they acted as if nothing had happened.

However, the two of them happened to disappear together overnight, and the girls in the mansion who were a little smart could guess the whole story.

There are some things that everyone knows, but they just won't say them openly.

Zhao Kangping has been very close to Aunt Yun these days. We are all aware of it.

However, they felt that they still had to put on a show, so they quickly separated when they got home, each acting as if nothing had happened.

"Master." Zhao Mengyao suddenly jumped out from the corner and threw herself into his arms like a young swallow.

After being taught a lesson, Ming Luan became much more obedient. She even asked him if he had any means of tracking her whereabouts.

At that time, Zhao Kangping smiled but said nothing, but it was obvious that Lord Demon must have guessed it, otherwise how could she have been caught by him every time she tried to escape.

After Zhao Mengyao hugged him, she sniffed him hard, as if she wanted to smell the scent she was expecting, but was afraid that she would really smell the scent of another woman.

Of course she couldn't smell anything. How could Zhao Kangping not have thought of it? He had already dealt with all traces. The same was true for Aunt Yun.

Aunt Yun was a bit reserved and didn't want their relationship to be exposed too early.

Then the young disciple began, as if interrogating a criminal, "Master, where were you last night? Steward Dongfang and I were hoping to find you for our dual cultivation, but we couldn't find you."

Accompanying the fairies in dual cultivation had become his daily routine. It wasn't that he, Zhao, was attracted by their beauty; it was simply to help them cultivate faster. After all, the Pure Yang Sacred Body was very beneficial to the cultivation of many female cultivators, and Zhao Kangping, who was always willing to help, was simply helping the fairies cultivate.

"Oh, I went out to do something and I'm back now." Zhao Kangping used the excuse he had already thought of to put her off.

He felt that he shouldn't use an obvious excuse to deceive her, but he couldn't make up a more complicated reason either.

So he spoke vaguely and let her guess for herself.

"Did Master go with Aunt Yun? You two disappeared together last night." She was like a cunning little fox and guessed the correct answer at once.

He rubbed her head, neither admitting nor denying it, but choosing to change the subject: "How are your preparations for the infant-forming spirit object going? Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well focus on your own affairs."

The little disciple's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she said stubbornly, "Master, don't interrupt me. Were you having sex with Aunt Yun last night?"

Oh, you dare to meddle in Master’s affairs.

"Why are you asking this?" Zhao Kangping didn't want to waste his breath on this issue.

Zhao Mengyao smiled playfully, probably confirming her guess.

There's no need to delve into this any further; there's definitely something wrong with both of them.

But there is no point in asking these questions now, as long as you know it in your heart.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t be the one pushing them together, so that Aunt Yun wouldn’t favor her.

"Oh, I see. I'll go first then." She still felt a little aggrieved and walked away with a pout.

Zhao Kangping went to find Wan Baiyi again. The girl was very stable and still quiet.

When we found her, she was eating roast chicken in a pavilion, her mouth and hands were greasy.

Seeing him coming, she raised the roast chicken and waved to him.

"Is there anything you're not used to having a slave contract signed for you?"

"Well, nothing special. It's the same as before."

Although Zhao Kangping used this method, he never thought of using this thing to do anything bad. He just wanted to protect himself.

As long as Shangguan Xueyi doesn't want to use her body to do bad things, there should be no need for a slave contract.

At this time, Wan Baiyi tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken and handed it to Zhao Kangping.

He took it without hesitation and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Even though he now knew that Wan Baiyi was actually Shangguan Xueyi's clone and had originally planned to kill him, he had no intention of hurting her.

Unlike the Xuanyin Sect leader, the little white snake was innocent and kind, able to distinguish right from wrong, and had never done anything bad. Since she had turned from evil to good, Zhao Kangping decided to continue to take her in.

Zhao Kangping chatted with her for a while and eliminated her worries.

Zhao Kangping promised that as long as she did not help Shangguan Xueyi, everyone would accept her.

Then Zhao Kangping went to see Dongfang Jingrou again, and the housekeeper was still working at her desk.

"Jingrou." He leaned against the door, looking at the female secretary who was reviewing documents.

"You still remember to come back." She said unhappily.

She seemed a little angry, maybe because of work or because he didn't accompany her last night.

"Have you ever encountered anything that requires my decision?"

"No."

She didn't even raise her head, just kept her head down.

He walked behind the woman and began to massage her shoulders.

As a result, she pushed me away after just a few presses: "Go away, don't interrupt my train of thought."

Her reaction was a bit big, which surprised him.

"Are you angry?" Zhao Kangping asked.

She raised her head, glared at him and said, "Actually, these things should be done by you, but you just know how to push them onto me. Do you think you are being too much?"

This reminded Zhao Kangping that there was no such thing as a secretary in this world. He had taken it upon himself to treat the woman as his secretary.

Senior Sister made him the city lord mainly because she needed him to do the work, and Dongfang Jingrou was only sent to assist him.

Yes, she only plays a supporting role, and he is the one who is really in charge.

But now he doesn't care much about the affairs of the city. He just held a meeting with his staff yesterday to discuss several important matters, but the details are completely left to his subordinates to figure out on their own.

"Oh, then get up and let me see what these are."

He picked up a document on the table, and there was a thick stack next to it.

I flipped open the letter and saw that a monster had attacked Moxiang Town, a town under the jurisdiction of Chuanliu City. The monster had been defeated by the monks, but many houses in the town were damaged, and the town didn't have enough money to repair the houses. I hoped Chuanliu City would allocate funds.

"Give him the funds, what's the hesitation?"

"But there's no money in the treasury. The previous city lord left behind a mess. He had a lot of shady income and some shady properties, and they've been confiscated. But after the confiscation, they went to the Holy Land and weren't turned over to the treasury."

"Then apply for some money from the Holy Land."

"But the people who manage the money in the Holy Land belong to the four major families, and they're deliberately holding back. Furthermore, the money Chuanliu City is asking for is a loan, with interest. The cities under the Holy Land are all self-sufficient through taxation."

"Oh my god, so you don't have any money, right? Do I have to pay for it myself?"

"You can pay if you want, but no one will compensate you."

Zhao Kangping felt his blood pressure rise after hearing this. He hadn't made any money since becoming the city lord yet, but he had to put money into it. Who could bear this?

He put the document in his hand aside and picked up another one.

The eastern part of the city had been severely damaged, and rebuilding it would require a substantial amount of money. This included not only the houses of the wealthy, but also public assets such as roads, public schools, and orphanages. Therefore, it was impossible for the families to pay for everything themselves; the City Lord's Mansion would have to cover the public property within the city.

It's about money again. Zhao Kangping felt his head starting to hurt.

Zhao Kangping looked through the books to see if there was anything that had nothing to do with money, and he actually found one.

However, things that have nothing to do with money can also be troublesome.

For example, the villagers of Village A discovered a spiritual spring in the mountains. They planned to develop this place and sell the spiritual spring water to some casual cultivators.

There is usually a spiritual vein or branch under the ground of this spiritual spring. The spiritual energy in the vein seeps into the spring water, giving the spring water spiritual power.

Low-level cultivators could rely on these spiritual springs for cultivation, and those in the Qi Condensation stage were almost eager to obtain them. However, for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and above, the effect of these spiritual springs was very small because the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual springs was not high.

However, when the villagers of Village B found out about this, they started to make a fuss because the spiritual spring was closer to Village B and they believed that the spiritual spring should belong to Village B.

So a fight broke out between the villagers of the two villages, and several people died.

The township above the two villages was unable to suppress them, so they reported the incident to the city. The meaning of this memorial was probably to ask the city to send someone to seek justice for the villagers of the two villages, and preferably to come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

Zhao Kangping: "Why, as the city lord, you have to take care of such trivial matters?"

Dongfang Jingrou: "This kind of thing is not a small matter. If it is not handled properly, it will become a topic of discussion."

At this moment, Zhao Kangping also understood why the woman was irritable. If it were him, he would also be irritable.

"Please prepare some tea for me." Zhao Kangping continued to look through the memorial. He wanted to read it personally.

Not long after, Dongfang Jingrou personally brought him hot tea and placed it on the side of the table, while she stood by.

There are many affairs in the city, and basically only those that cannot be resolved at the lower levels are reported.

"Looks like those who need to spend money will have to pay out of their own pockets for now. Didn't those small families in the city send me a lot of gifts a few days ago?"

"Pawn them and get whatever you can get. Most of the money here is in secular silver, so put the ones that require spirit stones aside first."

Zhao Kangping began to handle official business seriously.

Dongfang Jingrou, who was standing by, gradually showed a happy smile on her face.

He was busy for more than an hour before he finished. Not all the official business here had solutions. A considerable part of it required money, so he could only deal with it after the money was in place.

In fact, if such a city is operated normally, the tax revenue is generally sufficient to cover the city's expenses.

However, although the previous city lord levied heavy taxes, he himself embezzled a lot of money and transferred the public property in the city treasury to his own name.

This resulted in the fact that after Zhao Kangping took over, there was no money left in the treasury. It was really a mess.

It seems that I still need to think of ways to make money.

Maybe we need to think of a solution from those big families, but it can't be done in a hurry at the moment.

When he finished his work, he felt a headache like never before.

At this moment, the housekeeper came over from behind, gave him a brain wave, and gently massaged his temples with her delicate hands.

"Now you act more like a city lord." Judging from her voice, she seemed to be in a much better mood.

He suddenly grabbed the woman's hand, pulled her over and pulled her onto his lap.

"Don't talk nonsense, give me some actual rewards." He lifted the woman's chin with a beautiful curve.

She closed her eyes, as if waiting for something...

Chapter 370: Yunyan Pavilion Gathering Place

The housekeeper's temper came and went quickly.

After working together for a while, she became very easy to talk to.

Even if he made some excessive requests, she would agree.

Even if it's just some office play, it's fine.

He asked her to change into a set of shiny black stockings. Even though it was a style with a center opening, she just cursed him as a pervert, but she still put it on in the end.

After coming out of the study, Zhao Kangping felt relaxed.

He planned to go to Fuxian City. He would always feel uneasy unless he got to the bottom of some things.
