Chapter 1223 My heart stopped beating just hearing the name.
The Qingyu Pavilion guards were quick to search and confiscate the money; they finished counting all the money in the bank in less than half an hour.
Because the raid came suddenly, no one had given any advance warning, and no one in the bank was prepared.
When it was time to settle the accounts each night, the ledgers were laid out clearly on the table, leaving no room for falsification.
By the time the Provincial Administration Commissioner and the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner rushed over after receiving the news, Fei He had already turned the money shop upside down with his men.
They also rescued the young men and women who were tied up in the basement of the money exchange because they couldn't repay their debts.
The moment the provincial governor of Qiyang led his men into the money shop, he looked at the room full of secret guards and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in Qiyang!"
Fei He is checking the accounts, and the ledgers that the money shop manager was calculating just now don't seem quite right.
There are plenty of unresolved and messy accounts.
Upon hearing this, Fei He turned and glanced in the direction of the Provincial Governor.
The governor's heart died completely at that moment.
He only received news of His Majesty's appearance in Qiyang this afternoon, and that very evening he ran into Fei, the chief of the First Secret Guard by His Majesty's side.
The governor subconsciously touched his neck, feeling that if he didn't touch it soon, his neck would separate from his body.
The Provincial Governor said, "It was my poor eyesight that prevented me from seeing Lord Fei. I deserve to die."
The governor knelt down directly in front of where Fei He was standing and slapped himself across the face.
Fei He was busy checking the accounts and had no time to pay attention to this person, so the governor's slaps kept coming.
At this moment, the provincial inspector pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the chaotic scene inside, he stopped in his tracks, wishing he could turn around and leave.
The governor's face was red from being slapped on both sides, and the hardest blows had even drawn blood.
Fei He finished reading half of the ledger, closed it, and threw it onto the table beside him.
The commotion startled the provincial inspector, who had been observing the situation, so much that he knelt down with a thud.
Since Fei He had been following His Majesty for a long time, he rarely wore a mask anymore.
He pulled up a chair and sat down, facing the provincial governor directly.
The governor felt a chill run down his spine from those deep, unfathomable eyes, and didn't even have the courage to meet their gaze.
Fei He slapped the stack of ledgers with his hand: "The accounts in the ledgers are not right. The Xie family has bribed you a lot over the years in Qiyang. They confessed everything they were supposed to, and they were given lenient treatment. But they refused to confess..."
Fei He paused in his slapping of the ledger, and the governor stopped slapping his face.
Looking at those ledgers, I wish I could close my eyes and pretend I had never lived.
Then you won't have to deal with all this mess.
“Lord Fei, you know that the Xie family is all-powerful in Qiyang. We are just a powerful dragon suppressing a local snake. If we hadn’t accepted those things, we probably wouldn’t be alive to see you today.”
The provincial governor spoke with utmost sincerity, and as he spoke, he was on the verge of tears.
Fei He wasn't buying it at all and beckoned to the guards beside her.
Immediately, guards stepped forward, helped the governor up, and made him stand up from the ground.
"If you don't want to talk, then go down and think it over carefully, and come back with something else you want to say."
The provincial governor was dragged away by the guards. Before he could say anything, his mouth was covered with a strip of cloth by the guards.
The provincial inspector, who was watching from the side, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fei He's gaze swept over him, and before Fei He could speak, the Provincial Inspector crawled to Fei He's side on his knees.
Kneeling at Fei He's feet, he said piously, "Although I do not know which lord you are, I have recorded all the things the Xie family has done in Qiyang over the years. I am just waiting for a lord to come and save the people of Qiyang from their suffering."
Qiyang has produced a clever one, Fei He leaned down to look at the Provincial Inspector.
The provincial inspector felt the gaze of the official in front of him, and cautiously raised his head to meet his eyes.
"Fei He, His Majesty's top bodyguard."
Fei He's voice was slow and gentle, like a stream in the deep mountains at night. The mountains were quiet, but the stream kept making a gurgling sound.
It's small, but hard to ignore.
When the provincial inspector heard the name Fei He, his heart was completely dead.
Just now, when the governor was muttering about Lord Fei, he hadn't realized that it was Lord Fei who could directly confiscate the Xie family's bank and make the governor so afraid.
Now he understands.
Fei He leaned back slightly, and immediately guards came forward, lifted the provincial inspector up, and carried him out.
The Provincial Inspector: "Your Honor, Your Honor, I truly possess evidence of the Xie family's years of cruelty towards the people, forcing women into prostitution, and their exploitation of the people..."
Before he could finish speaking, the provincial inspector was taken away.
Fei He instructed the bodyguard who had been waiting beside him:
"Lock up the one in front, and lock up the one behind him after you get the evidence he wants."
Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately followed.
Liang Chongyue was looking at Fei He sitting in a chair on the panel.
It's been a long time since I've seen Fei He's face again. As expected, even an old Ferrari is still a Ferrari.
Liang Chongyue patted the system on the head:
"Go check if Minglang is asleep."
Upon hearing this, the system switched to a new panel. As soon as the screen on Minglang's side was opened, it showed Minglang and Qin Jinzhao in a scene that was not suitable for children.
The system subconsciously closed the panel, and then Liang Chongyue opened it again.
The system shut down too quickly; she only saw it for a moment before the image flashed before her eyes and disappeared.
When the panel reopened, Liang Chongyue stared at the screen and fell into deep thought.
"You're embarrassed to even look at this?"
The system, which had its eyes covered by its two front paws, silently opened its paws upon hearing its host's words, revealing a tiny, beady eye that peered out.
It's all because it cut out too quickly just now; it thought Minglang and Qin Jinzhao had just tasted the sweet fruit of their relationship.
Fortunately, it was just a misjudgment.
"I didn't know Qin Jinzhao was giving Minglang a massage. I'm getting old, and it's possible that I misjudged him."
Liang Chongyue chuckled as she looked at Minglang, who seemed to be enjoying himself, on the panel and shifted the image from Minglang to the kitten that was pretending to be asleep beside him.
The camera on the signboard was already pointed at him, and even though the kitten was sleepy, he couldn't fall asleep.
After stretching, the kitten pointed its beautiful golden eyes at the camera on the panel and meowed.
Liang Chongyue glanced at the system beside her, and the system immediately stepped forward and opened the cat language translator.
Liang Chongyue spoke:
"After Qin Jinzhao leaves, have Minglang send me a message."
The kitten looked at the control panel, then turned to look at its owner who was enjoying himself.
This stinky dog board is now being used for video calls.
The kitten nodded, and Minglang noticed the kitten's obviously unusual behavior.
He turned his neck and then stopped Qin Jinzhao.
