Chapter 367: Chapter 201: Li Hengsheng’s Thunderous Methods (Part 2)

Their mouths were stuffed with gauze. When they saw Li Hengsheng, a look of fear and some longing appeared in their eyes.

“Human trafficking.”

Wu Santong could hardly believe it. Although he had heard that it might involve people during the trip, seeing it in front of him was still shocking.

Li Hengsheng also took a deep breath, then led his team to release all the women.

Then he brought all the women back to the Inspection Mansion, registered their names, and their residences. Then, Li Hengsheng gave each of them some travel money. When daylight came, they were released.

All the women were extremely grateful to Li Hengsheng, each of them crying and kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him.

They originally thought their lives were over, and they had already despaired. They all knew very well what kind of terrifying fate awaited them once they arrived in the Great Wilderness City.

Unexpectedly, this was when Li Hengsheng appeared, saving them and even giving them money to return home.

Li Hengsheng simply gave them a second life!

Their gratitude towards Li Hengsheng was indescribable.

Li Hengsheng ordered some guards from the Inspection Mansion to escort them out of Tushan City, letting them go wherever they wished.

“This is really good.” Wu Santong suddenly said while standing beside Li Hengsheng, “I suddenly feel that what we’re doing is very meaningful. Senior brother, following you was really the best choice I ever made.”

“Heh.” Li Hengsheng stood at the door watching those people leave, then turned and said, “You feel a sense of accomplishment now because trouble hasn’t come yet. When the trouble arrives, I hope you keep the same mindset.”

Just as he turned around, Marquis Yan walked over, his face showing excitement. Approaching Li Hengsheng, he respectfully bowed and said, “Inspector Sir! The people from the Mu Mansion have already been locked up in the dungeon.”

“Mm.”

Li Hengsheng hummed in response.

Marquis Yan now looked at Li Hengsheng with different eyes.

It was a look of respect, even a bit of admiration.

He had just taken office a few days ago and dared to move against the Mu Mansion.

Such a thing had never been done by any previous inspectors.

“According to the Beihan Country’s code, how should such individuals be dealt with?” Li Hengsheng asked.

“Reporting to the lord.” Marquis Yan quickly replied, “According to the current situation, Mu Xiong is enough for a beheading, but actually, both you and I know he’s just a small fry. The real mastermind is the Mu Mansion’s Mu San. If…”

“Just behead first.”

Li Hengsheng shook his head and said, “It’s unrealistic for us to go to the Mu Mansion to capture Mu San now, so let’s take it step by step. Regardless of whether Mu Xiong is a scapegoat or whatever, our Inspection Mansion must first make our stance clear to give the people some hope.”

“Really behead him?”

Marquis Yan was somewhat shocked.

If Mu Xiong were truly beheaded, it would mean tearing off the face with the Mu Mansion.

“What else, pretend?” Li Hengsheng said with a smile, “What happens if I tear off the face with them? Do they dare to kill me?”

“That’s unlikely.”

Marquis Yan shook his head, “You’re a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. If they were to kill you, Dao Mountain Ancient Land might erase them completely. But while they wouldn’t dare to kill you openly, there’s no telling what they might do behind your back. At that time, without evidence, Dao Mountain Ancient Land would struggle to demand justice from Beihan Country, creating friction on both sides.”

“If they come secretly, let them.” Li Hengsheng suddenly remembered and said, “Junior brother Wu.”

“Senior brother.” Wu Santong hurriedly caught up, speaking.

“Regarding the tax issue I asked you to list out useless taxes, have you done it?” Li Hengsheng asked.

“Already taken care of.” Wu Santong nodded.

“Then have them posted.” Li Hengsheng turned back saying.

“Okay!”

Wu Santong said and went to manage it.

Seeing Wu Santong indeed went to handle it, Marquis Yan next to him was also a bit excited, then quickly said, “Sir, regarding Lin Qizhu I mentioned before, do you want to make contact?”

“Sure.” Li Hengsheng was just worried about the lack of manpower.

Of course, he wanted to find this Lin Qizhu, bringing him into his hands even as a Chief Constable would be good.

“Okay, lord, I’ll bring you there tonight.” Marquis Yan nodded.

But just then, a guard ran in from outside, looking panicked, “Oh no, oh no, people from Mu Mansion are here.”

“If they’re here, they’re here. Why panic?” Marquis Yan scolded angrily, “Just Mu Mansion scares you like this!”

“It’s Mu Haoming coming in person!”

The guard quickly said.

Hearing this, Marquis Yan’s face changed.

Mu Haoming came in person?

“Who is Mu Haoming?” Li Hengsheng asked calmly.

“He’s Mu San’s most capable aide at Mu Mansion!” Marquis Yan said gravely, “Also the first enforcer under Mu San!”

“Postnatal Peak level of cultivation.”

“Usually, no one dares to provoke him.”

The guard hurriedly explained to Li Hengsheng.

Describing how terrifying Mu Haoming was.

“Oh?” Li Hengsheng raised an eyebrow and said, “Then I’ll have to see.”

Li Hengsheng was intending to go out to have a look, but who knew with a loud bang, the gate outside the Inspection Mansion was directly kicked to pieces.

From outside, dozens of people came marching in. The leading man was burly, exuding a strong presence. His upper body was bare, muscles explosive, his eyes very intimidating. Just one look and the guards at the door were so scared their legs went soft, retreating in fear.

“Who is the Inspector, come out here!”

Mu Haoming shouted loudly, his voice astonishing, shaking the entire Inspection Mansion.

“Who dares make noise at the Inspection Mansion?” At this moment, Li Hengsheng also came with a few guards. When Li Hengsheng saw the outer door lying on the ground, he looked at Mu Haoming, “Did you kick this door to pieces?”

“You are Li Hengsheng?” Mu Haoming’s gaze flashed with harshness, “Unexpectedly bold enough, to dare move against my Mu Mansion business and arrest my Mu Mansion people!”

“I’m ordered by Master San to take Mu Xiong away, you let Mu Xiong out now and then kneel on the ground to kowtow, maybe Master San won’t bother with you!”

Mu Haoming’s voice was particularly sharp, his momentum rising.

“I’m asking you, is this door you broke?” Li Hengsheng ignored Mu Haoming’s words, just looked at his newly bought door.

“You’re courting death?”

Mu Haoming clenched his fists tightly, bones cracking audibly.

“I’m asking you one last time, this door, did you break it?” Li Hengsheng also became cold in tone.

“Yes, so what!” Mu Haoming said indifferently.

“Elder Yan, he trespassed into the Inspection Mansion, broke the gate, and threatened the Inspector, what’s the charge?” Li Hengsheng asked Marquis Yan.

Marquis Yan was a bit dumbfounded.

The person was already demanding the release, and they were still worried about the door issue?

“Uh.” But Marquis Yan said, “In this case, he must compensate for the door, and at discretion, fined between five taels to fifty taels of silver depending on the severity. His threatening of the Inspector with a bad attitude can warrant fifty hits with the stick, if still unrepentant, imprisonment for seven to fifteen days.”

“Good.”

Li Hengsheng nodded.

Then looked at Mu Haoming.

Mu Haoming at this moment felt utterly insulted, shouting angrily, “Breaking things requires compensation? Alright, brothers, smash the entire Inspection Mansion for me!”

“Yes!”

The people behind laughed loudly and a figure came forward to start smashing!

But at this moment, a sound of something breaking through the air was heard!

Puff!

A force directly went through that person’s head!

Instant death!

Only to see Li Hengsheng raise his finger, then calmly said, “This person attempted violence in the Inspection Mansion, the situation was severe, so executed directly.”
