The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress

Chapter 284 Yanggu County, Dalang, Ximen, Tsk tsk tsk

Every day, Han Zhuo's previous orders were carried out in an orderly manner.

Han Zhuo looked at her at this time and found that this "little brother" had some dark circles under his eyes.

However, she was in very good spirits. After all, she had transformed from a small gatekeeper to a county lieutenant. The huge change in between made Han Sijin unable to react for a while.

But fortunately, she has a very good attitude and after a few days of adaptation, she has been able to handle her current identity.

Therefore, when she heard that Han Zhuo had returned, she immediately welcomed Han Zhuo to the county government office.

Then, he told Han Zhuo a lot of information in great detail, just like pouring water.

Among these, there are two things that Han Zhuo cares about the most.

Han Sijin said, "Brother, there's news from the Santong Escort Agency that there are three lime mines in our Jingji area."

"The closest one to us is in Yanggu County next door. The limestone mine there is very large, but it's occupied by a man named Ximen He."

"His family originally ran a pharmacy and was already short of lime. Later, through some dirty tricks, they poisoned the original mine owner and finally bribed the county magistrate to buy the lime mine at a low price."

"Nowadays, almost all the lime in the entire Gyeonggi region comes from his family."

When Han Zhuo heard "Ximen He" and "Yanggu County", his eyebrows twitched reflexively.

"This person is very good at making friends with the powerful and influential, and he has a close relationship with the Li family."

"He has opened a total of 36 stores in the Gyeonggi region, including seven large stores in our Kunwu City."

"And it is said that he is the cousin of the owner of Mingjian Villa, and his swordsmanship is superb."

"Also, sometimes our Ministry of War's weapon orders have to go through him before they can be transferred to Mingjian Villa."

"Three years ago, the Minister of War's youngest daughter, Du Yueniang, married him!"

"This Ximen He is a tyrant in Yanggu County. He is arrogant and lawless! He is a complete villain!"

While Han Zhuo was listening to Han Sijin's report, his fingers were tapping lightly on the table.

In the past, we only knew that the Li family’s power was deeply rooted and had already completely infiltrated the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom.

But that was just the surface. Only when Han Zhuo really got to know it in depth did he discover that the power of the Li family was much greater than he had imagined!

This aristocratic clan has reached a terrible situation where it must be eliminated!

Otherwise, one day they will give an order and quickly cut off the lifeline of the entire country!

Right now, Han Zhuo wants to develop infrastructure on a large scale, among which cement is crucial.

To make cement, lime is essential, so Han Zhuo must get rid of Ximen He as soon as possible!

Han Zhuo thought for a moment, then said, "It seems I have to go to Yanggu County. Please help me find an identity. I will sneak into Yanggu County and investigate Ximen He's background."

"It would be a good idea to eradicate him and the entire Li family of Yanggu County while dealing with him!"

Han Zhuo is now able to fully control the entire Liyang County thanks to a vigorous battle.

Eliminate all the forces affiliated with the aristocratic families!

Now the people of Liyang County support him very much, so the orders issued by Han Zhuo are directly effective and quickly executed.

The entire Liyang County is in a state of disrepair, and Han Zhuo also intends to build Liyang County into the second super city of Xuanyuan Kingdom besides Kunwu City!

The total population must reach at least 200,000!

It is somewhat similar to the "satellite city" of Kunwu City.

In this way, if the Daqian Kingdom sends troops to attack the Xuanyuan Kingdom in the future, the two cities of Kunwu City and Liyang County will serve as each other's support.

This can delay the enemy's offensive and at the same time give you a chance to survive!

When Han Sijin heard that Han Zhuo was going to Yanggu County, he quickly said, "Brother, just leave this matter to me. Why bother making a trip?"

Han Zhuo looked at Han Sijin, whose face was filled with a confident smile, and reached out to pat her shoulder gently.

Said: "You, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

"In everything, caution is paramount. Never become complacent. To put it simply, 'Don't get carried away. If you do, you'll be in trouble.' Do you understand?"

Han Sijin nodded repeatedly: "Brother, I understand."

Han Zhuo still loves and cares for this capable "little brother".

After all, this tomboy has a quick mind and is particularly good at inspiring people and uniting all forces that can be united.

This is a very good helper for Han Zhuo.

Therefore, Han Zhuo also tried his best to teach her some skills.

Han Zhuo said, "First, help me get an identity so I can sneak into Yanggu County and meet Ximen He a few times to test his abilities."

"At the same time, we also need to clarify the distribution of power in the entire Yanggu County."

Han Sijin said, "Brother, I originally planned to go by myself because I have a relative in Yanggu County."

"He's the son of my father's third uncle's nephew. Anyway, his last name is Han, Han Bai."

"Because he's the eldest in the family, some people call him Han Dalang. He runs a small business in Yanggu County."

When Han Zhuo heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said jokingly, "Then he can't be a pancake seller, right?"

Han Sijin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, he doesn't sell pancakes, he's just a peddler."

After hearing this, Han Zhuo muttered, "That's pretty much like the pancake vendor. Every day, he carries a load on his shoulder, two baskets, and sells them everywhere. He's hardly ever home."

Han Sijin's eyes lit up when he heard what he said: "Brother, you are amazing. How do you know everything?"

"It's exactly as you said!"

Han Zhuo laughed heartily and then asked, "Then he has a beautiful wife at home, right?"

Han Sijin was also surprised, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Big brother, how come you know everything?"

"This Han Dalang actually has a woman he redeemed from a brothel. The couple have been married for many years, but have no children."

"This lady is a restless person. She opened a teahouse with her former sisters when they were young. She even registered with the government and became a matchmaker."

After hearing this, Han Zhuo couldn't help but say, "Wow, this development is a little different."

"However, none of this matters to Han Zhuo. He just wants an identity, and then he can approach Ximen He and the wealthy families in Yanggu County, strip them of their underwear, and then uproot them!"

Han Zhuo was thinking when he glanced outside the door and saw Hua Caiwei peeking in.

Seeing her like this, Han Zhuo couldn't help but waved and said, "What are you doing, sneaking around like that?"

Hua Caiwei giggled and trotted in. She came up to Han Zhuo and said sweetly, "Master, guess who I met on the street just now?"

Han Zhuo smiled and said, "They must be those people from the martial arts world you met at Mingjian Villa a few days ago, right?"

Hua Caiwei clapped her hands and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Master, you are really amazing!"

"Master, guess again, who is this person? Master also knows him, and this person is very unusual."

Han Zhuo's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly. The person who could make Hua Caiwei come to tell him must not be an ordinary person.

Hua Caiwei had a smile on her face, obviously not an enemy.

But Hua Caiwei didn't bring him here, which means they are not friends.

Neither enemy nor friend, then there is only one person.

Han Zhuo then asked, "Duanmu Chonglou?"

"That's right, Master guessed right!" Hua Caiwei was overjoyed. "I just saw Duanmu Chonglou on the street. He looked like he was looking for someone. He must be looking for Master."

Han Zhuo said in a calm voice, "Why did he look for me?"

Previously, in the tunnel of Mingjian Villa, when Duanmu Chonglou was fighting against Ximen Liancheng, he had shown his courtesy twice.

This made Han Zhuo subconsciously think that this guy was either a traitor or a thief!

I had some bad intentions in my heart, so I didn't bother to pay attention to him.

I didn't expect that he would follow me all the way to Liyang County.

Obviously, he must have something to talk to me about!

Han Zhuo thought for a moment, then said to Hua Caiwei, "Try to lure him over here so I can meet him."

"Good Le!"
