In their eyes, anyone who captures the pirates is a great hero and their benefactor.

Not only did they avenge themselves, but they also prevented any future troubles.

In an instant, words of thanks and praise came one after another.

An Er used to do things in secret.

Even though he did good things, he had never been thanked like this before.

These simple people kowtowed in gratitude over and over again.

He was moved and suddenly understood what it felt like to plead for the people.

I also suddenly understood that some officials, even in death, still maintain their ambitions in their hearts.

A magical feeling spread throughout his body.

The complete opposite of An Er was Xue Yang. He had a fake smile on his face, but a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

Wu Yong was his right-hand man, and he had saved a lot of money over the years with the help of Wu Yong and his men.

He also accumulated a lot of property. Except for Xu Ning, almost all the property in Huai County was his.

This is also why he wants to get rid of the Xu family.

The Xu family did not start doing business in this generation.

The Xu family has been engaged in business since Xu Ning’s great-grandfather. The connections and financial resources accumulated over the generations are incomparable to what a later generation like him can match.

Therefore, the Xu family is the first choice for cooperation for many merchants.

As a result, the Xu family became a thorn in Xue Yang's side.

As long as he gets rid of the Xu family, he can replace the Xu family.

By then he will have both money and power.

Now everyone knows that the pirate has been caught. He can delay it for a while but not forever.

Even if he wanted to find someone to replace him, it wouldn't work.

With the Xu family and these people around, they will definitely not let him live a peaceful life.

The rest of the people had never seen the pirates, but they had definitely seen them.

When the time comes, we will definitely provoke these fools.

Xue Yang clenched his lowered hands into fists. He could clearly see the provocation on An Er's face.

He had never been provoked like this before, and he almost lost his mind.

If it weren't for the master beside him pulling him, he would have come to his senses.

Xue Yang had a proper smile on his face: "Don't worry, none of those pirates will be able to escape!"

"I will definitely make the decision for everyone!"

The people turned around and thanked Xue Yang one after another. Xue Yang glanced at An Er with pride.

So what if he was the one who captured the people? He only needed to say a few words to make these people grateful to him.

He doesn't need to do anything.

An Er glanced at him indifferently, then turned over and jumped off the fence in a cool manner.

He knew that today's goal had been achieved.

After An Er left, Xue Yang stayed silent for a moment, then turned around and went into the house.

At this moment, there was no trace of a gentle smile on his face.

His face was gloomy and looked creepy.

When Master Liu entered the room and saw Xue Yang like this, he subconsciously wanted to leave.

Seeing how bad his face looks, only a fool would bring bad luck upon himself at this time.

But as soon as he raised his foot, he was seen by Xue Yang.

Xue Yang looked at him gloomily, and sneered: "Master, why are you leaving before you even come in?"

Master Liu's body froze, and he immediately said with a forced smile, "I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with."

Xue Yang stared at him for a while, then raised his hand and swept the teacup on the ground.

The sound of porcelain breaking made Master Liu shudder. He looked at Xue Yang anxiously: "Sir..."

Xue Yang raised his eyes with a fierce look on his face: "Go call Wu Yong over!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liu felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately agreed and ran outside.

After he came out, he patted his chest, still feeling scared.

Sweat was already beading on his forehead.

He had followed Xue Yang for so many years, so naturally he knew a lot about Xue Yang, and he also understood Xue Yang's character very well.

He didn't dare to offend such a cruel person at all.

Back then, when a new county magistrate took office in Huai County, they were happy and expectant.

When he first arrived, Xue Yang performed very well.

They all felt that Huai County was about to usher in good days.

The new official, Lord Xue, is a kind-hearted official who is dedicated to serving the people.

He soon discovered that Lord Xue was a double-faced person, and the common people, who had little contact with him, naturally could not see it.

But how could they, who come into contact with it every day, not notice it?

In less than half a year, Xue Yang completely dropped his disguise.

Only then did Master Liu know what kind of person Xue Yang was.

He is not at all as he appears to be, in reality he is vicious and cruel.

He no longer dared to provoke Xue Yang. Huai County was very small and he was a native of Huai County.

Master Liu also thought about resigning and returning, but would Xue Yang let him go?

It goes without saying that Xue Yang wouldn't do that.

He puts on a good front on the outside, so how could he let someone who knows his true nature leave?

Master Liu sighed. He had no choice.

If you want to save your life, you have to be obedient.

Master Liu was feeling particularly deeply today. He thought a lot and finally said it all with a sigh.

When he saw Wu Yong, he reminded him for the first time: "The master wants you to come over."

"My Lord is not very happy today."

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "Thank you, Master."

Then Wu Yong went to find Xue Yang nervously.

Xue Yang's face was terribly gloomy. When he saw Wu Yong coming, he picked up the thing in his hand and threw it at him.

Wu Yong failed to dodge and a small porcelain plate hit him on the head, and the pastries shattered all over the floor.

Xue Yang said sternly: "Useless trash."

"If you hadn't been captured, I wouldn't have to endure this humiliation."

"In all these years, no one has ever dared to treat me like this!"

Wu Yong knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

After waiting for Xue Yang to vent his anger for a long time, Xue Yang slowly said, "When will Ling Shuming take action?"

Wu Yong lowered his head, he didn't know when Ling Shuming would take action.

He didn't dare to ask about these things.

Afraid of angering Ling Shuming.

Wu Yong just felt that he was extremely aggrieved and couldn't afford to offend either side.

He whispered, "I'll go ask him later."

Xue Yang waved his hand with a gloomy expression: "No need, call him over and I will talk to him in person."

When Ling Shuming was called over, he looked a little unhappy.

He has his own plans, and when it is his turn to be pointed at.

Wu Yong was scolded by him. He said with a frustrated look: "I didn't want to come either, but the master ordered me to come."

Ling Shuming glanced at him coldly and said in a sarcastic tone: "Why should I bother with a dog like you?"

"I'll go see what he's going to do!"

Although Wu Yong was trying to survive in the cracks, he was still very angry at being humiliated like this.

But he had no way to deal with Ling Shuming.

I had no choice but to transfer all my hatred to the Xu family and An Er and the others.

If it weren't for them, how could I have been captured?

He had already completed Xue Yang's instructions, not only having made a great contribution, but Xu Yan was also his roommate.

It can be said that you can kill both people and money.

But an accident happened on that day, which led to him being humiliated like this now!
