Chapter 242 Unity
"Rebellion?" Su Chengnan sneered, pointing at the second prince of the White Bear Kingdom next to him and said, "You traitor, you did it yourself, inviting a wolf into the house! How dare you say such a thing?"
"Come here, tie these two people up for me!"
"Yes!"
Qingshan was standing close by, and without saying a word, he swung his knife and cut the tendons of the two men's hands and feet.
"what--"
"Slave! How dare you?!"
"I am going to kill you!"
The second prince was roaring hysterically. As he became more excited, the poison took effect faster, and he became even more confused.
Han Liping struggled desperately, "You killed the imperial officials, you deserve to die! Is the Ningyuan Palace planning a rebellion?"
Su Chengnan kicked Han Liping in the stomach, his eyes filled with anger. "Han Liping, you traitor, you have no qualifications to be the city lord! Look at what you've done. You lured these people in, and how many innocent people outside died! Countless officers and soldiers in the city were killed or injured. Have you done them justice?!"
Han Liping had no regrets at all. "If they die, they die. These people should have died long ago. If they don't die, there's no hope of leaving here."
Su Chengnan looked down at him and felt that this man was completely crazy and had no conscience, so he simply turned around and stopped talking to him.
"Miss, what should we do with these people?" asked Yi Er.
"Tie them all up and drag them to the city gates to display them to the public. Control the situation! This matter cannot be left unexplained!"
"Yes!" Everyone acted quickly.
……
With the captured second prince and Han Liping, the chaos in the city was quickly brought under control.
Su Chengnan stood on the high platform of the city wall, looking at the suffering people below, feeling sad.
"What happened today was all due to the collusion between Han Liping and the second prince of the White Bear Country. These people can all testify!" After she said that, she waved her hand and pointed at the wealthy businessmen.
Even if the wealthy businessman didn't like Su Chengnan, a foreign woman, she was still much more pleasing to the eye than foreigners, not to mention that she had saved their lives.
"That's right! Miss Su is telling the truth."
"In order to please the other party, Han Liping not only kidnapped us, but also coerced and bribed us to work for the White Bear Country! We only have Dayong in our hearts and would rather die than obey! At the critical moment of life and death, we were fortunately saved by Miss Su. We have no way to repay her, and we are willing to follow Miss Su's lead!" A tall and thin man walked out and said loudly.
Su Chengnan had seen this man before. He was a neighbor not far from Su's house. His surname was Kang and he was known as Master Kang.
Seeing him say this, the others could only agree and did not dare to raise any objections. After all, the one who could easily eliminate Han Liping and the Second Prince was not someone they could deal with. They still had to report this to the main family behind the scenes as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Miss Su!"
"Miss Su is our savior!"
"Kill this damned city lord! And the foreigners with evil ambitions!"
"kill him!"
"Kill them!"
The people in the city had long suffered greatly from Han Liping's actions over the years. Now that the evidence was conclusive, they rose up to attack him and wished they could tear him apart immediately.
Su Chengnan thought she would hesitate, but standing in this place and looking at the situation of the people, her emotions also fluctuated.
She told the people about the war outside, and they were in an uproar, panicking again. But the second prince, who was tied up like a dumpling nearby, howled to the sky.
"Just wait to die!"
"The army is just a hundred miles away. They will soon crush Ningguta and take over the Central Plains. There will be no more Great Yong Dynasty! Hahahaha!"
He spoke haltingly in his poor official language. Su Chengnan listened with difficulty and sneered, "I can't control the fate of Dayong, but your fate right now is in my hands!"
The people listened to his words and panic began to spread.
Su Chengnan stepped forward. "Today's events have been proven to be irrefutable! Han Liping colluded with the Second Prince of the White Bear Kingdom, not only harming the people of Ningguta but also plotting to seize the throne of Dayong! Although I, Su Chengnan, am a woman, I have been taught by my father, the Marquis of Valor, since I was a child!"
"The chaos in the city has subsided, but the crisis is still not over! I need capable people to protect Ningguta together."
"Are you willing to rebuild Ningguta with me? Let's defend the city together!"
"willing!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Okay! In one hour, I will organize personnel to open the granary at the City Lord's Mansion and distribute food. Every citizen can come and receive a portion. Regardless of whether you are a criminal or an officer, special treatment will be given during this special period. From today on, all work will cease and all efforts will be focused on infrastructure repairs! All managers, please come to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting in one stick of incense! All criminals and officials who use crafts must be registered and managed in a unified manner!"
"Good! Good!"
"I'm a blacksmith, I can help with the ironwork!"
"I used to be a carpenter, I can fix houses too!"
“I can draw. I can paint.”
This was their first chance to change their fate since arriving in Ningguta, and they had to seize it at all costs.
Some officers and soldiers, realizing that the situation was no longer under their control, tactfully kept silent and let it go, while some fools with sand in their eyes felt that their authority was being challenged.
"Why should a woman like you be in charge? Even if the city lord is guilty, it should be the turn of other advisors or others to take charge. Get down!"
"That's right! Come down!"
The City Lord’s Mansion has a group of so-called “brains”, but no one dared to step forward at this time. Only a few sporadic voices mixed in the crowd were shouting.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan didn't take it to heart at all.
Qingshan seemed to want to reveal the identity of Ningyuan Palace, but before he could say it, he was stopped by Su Chengnan.
Su Chengnan continued, "Whether they are criminals or soldiers, as long as they are willing to help the people in the city, I will forgive them all. But if anyone still wants to cause trouble at this time and disturb the people, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as Su Chengnan said this, those who were still clamoring were instantly speechless.
"Miss Su is right! We, the people of Ningguta, have suffered enough from Han Liping's oppression over the years. Now that there has been a turn for the better, we must unite as one and rebuild our homes!" Master Kang stepped forward first and said loudly.
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
The people below the city answered in unison.
……
After one stick of incense, all the officers, soldiers and staff in the city arrived.
The secret guards have also completely cleared out and taken control of the City Lord's Mansion.
Su Chengnan invited Mr. Sun and Liang Yaoping over, both of whom were influential and prestigious figures here.
"Whatever your positions were in the past, just keep doing them!" She reassured everyone right from the start.
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts finally settled down.
"Yes, we all follow Miss Su's orders!"
"Okay then! First, compile a list for me, quickly. Then transfer the people from Stone Mountain and Coal Mountain to clear the roads. The damaged city walls and gates must be repaired as quickly as possible."
"Yes! I humbly accept my order!"
