Chapter 210 – Phoenix bone, reborn in fire!
Proofreader & Editor: Lotas
Outside the Inspectorate's office, a throng of citizens had already gathered.
They stared into the distance, many weeping inconsolably, grateful for the life Li Hengsheng had afforded them over the past months—a life they had never dared to dream of.
Not only had he provided them with jobs, but he had also reduced their taxes by ninety-five percent.
At last, they could live like normal people.
Many had nearly sold their daughters to the Ghost Clan, saved only by Li Hengsheng's intervention, reuniting their families.
The bridge over the river outside the city and the potholed roads had been repaired under Li Hengsheng's leadership.
The entire atmosphere of Tushan City had improved; business was booming, and the Inspectorate had nearly eradicated the extortionists and bullies from the streets, arresting countless offenders.
Li Hengsheng had personally executed many of the more serious criminals.
The city was much safer, and no one dared to cause trouble.
But just as things were looking up, Li Hengsheng was dead.
How could they accept this?
"Make way, make way!"
At that moment, a commotion arose from the back of the crowd, as people were shoved aside, some even falling to the roadside.
They were about to curse at the disruptors but fell silent upon seeing who it was—the Huas.
Hua Zheliu.
Hua Zheliu, as effeminate as ever, held a handkerchief to his nose, looking disdainfully at the commoners, clearly bothered, while his entourage pushed through the crowd.
The Hua family was overjoyed to hear of Li Hengsheng's death and had sent Hua Zheliu to confirm it.
"It seems he's really dead," Hua Zheliu said, squinting outside the Inspectorate.
"What are you Huas doing here? Get lost!"
Lin Qizhu, standing at the Inspectorate's gate, saw Hua Zheliu and shouted angrily.
"How dare you, you dog of the Inspectorate, speak to Master Hua like that!" several lackeys retorted angrily.
"I think you're the one courting death!" Lin Qizhu was about to strike.
But then, another voice came from behind, "Lin Qizhu, at such a time, you still act so tyrannically. Do you really think your Inspectorate can last much longer?"
Lin Qizhu looked up to see that the Mu family had also arrived.
It was Mu Jing, the Mu family's steward, a man of considerable power within the family.
Lin Qizhu glared at Mu Jing, "What does the Mu family want?"
"What else? To pay our respects to your master," Mu Jing said with a smile.
"We don't welcome you here."
Lin Qizhu glared at Mu Jing with hatred.
He had no fondness for the Mu family.
