”Hua La La”, a group of troops arrived outside of Tianwu City.
”Zuo Qianjun pays his respect to the young master.”
A middle-aged man around forty years old was clad in armor and had a treasured sword at his waist. He respectfully saluted Qiao Nan.
”When did the Tianwu City become five bronze coins? Why are the guards of the Tianwu City so arrogant? ” Qiao Nan sat in an armchair, and bellowed at Zuo Qianjun.
”Young master, please return to the manor and allow this subordinate to report more about this matter.” Zuo Qianjun seemed to have something hard to say.
Qiao Nan was also unwilling to believe that the person his father had chosen, would disappoint him.
Qiao Nan squinted and nodded.
”Everyone listen up, Tianwu County is Qiao Nan's feudal fiefdom. From today onwards, no matter who enters the city, there will be no fees charged.”
Qiao Nan suddenly stood up from his chair, his voice loud and clear, and everyone present could hear him clearly.
”No more charges?” This Qiao Nan seems to be different from the legends. ”
When Qiao Nan's order came out, everyone was dumbfounded. The several tens of thousands of years of being in the city was crippled with just a single sentence from Qiao Nan?
”Long live the duke, long live the duke!”
”Long live the Marquis!”
All the people fell to their knees and cried out ”Long live!”
Their lives were very simple. Who could give them peace and stability, who could give them happiness, they were their loyal subjects.
”The three of you, were you very happy to have just trampled on this old man's food?” Qiao Nan's tone was cold, causing others to tremble in fear.
”Please spare my life, Your Lordship. This lowly one knows his wrongs.”
”Master Hou, please forgive this lowly one.”
The three soldiers were frightened and they didn't dare to look up.
This was a military discipline!
”Bang, bang, bang.” Zuo Qianjun personally killed the three of them on the spot. The Marquis of Tianwu had just arrived, and his prestige couldn't not be established.
”Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness.”
The old man was holding a purse full of money. His face was filled with happiness. To him, this was not only money, but also the life of his wife.
”There are only the three of us here, what unspeakable things do you have that you can talk about now?”
Inside the Marquis Mansion, Qiao Nan arrogantly sat on the master's seat in the mansion's inner hall. Uncle Zhang stood by his side while Zuo Qianjun respectfully and humbly sat on the opposite side.
”Young Master, it is a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths for Zuo Qianjun to have been entrusted with by Young Master.”
Zuo Qianjun suddenly knelt in front of Qiao Nan, making a soldier who had been through a long battle, kneel in front of a young man, how difficult was it, it was because he considered himself to be a servant of the Qiao family.
”Young master, there are four great clans in Tianwu City. The Luo, Xiao, Ma, and Zheng Families possess overflowing power. They are spread throughout the entire Tianwu County, and their names belong to the Tianwu Mansion in the name of the Tianwu County. Even though it is one of the four counties, the Marquis of Tianwu's Mansion was unable to interfere in the management. ”
Zuo Qianjun knelt on the ground, his expression a little awkward. All these years, he had been working hard to control Sky Martial County, but the Four Great Clans were too strong, and did not listen to the Marquis of Tianwu's orders.
”The four great families are all old families that have lived for a thousand years. In their eyes, they are the masters, and we are the guests. Zuo Qianjun is incompetent, please punish him.”
”How many troops do you have?”
