Chapter 191 Yangzhou, First Slash Upon Taking Office

late at night.

Beside the woods.

A man dressed in black and masked was forced to kneel on the ground.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Lin Daiyu sat on a stool, crossed her beautiful legs, and was playing with a flying sword in her hand.

The man kneeling on the ground looked at the little girl in front of him with horror in his eyes.

He had thought he might fail and be arrested, but he never imagined that the person arrested and questioned would be Lin Ruhai's daughter, Lin Daiyu.

This world has gone mad.

She's only four years old, so why does she seem to be in control of this group?

"you you--"

Just as the man in black was about to say something, a streak of light flashed past, and his fingers were severed cleanly.

"what..."

He let out a scream, looking at Lin Daiyu with a face full of fear.

A flying sword danced between her fingers; it was the very sword that had just severed his finger.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense. I'll ask you one last time: who sent you? Tell me who's behind this and I'll give you a quick death and promise to spare your family."

At this point, Lin Daiyu's eyes turned cold, and she snorted, "If you don't speak, you will be subjected to slow slicing, and your entire family will be sent to hell."

The man in black trembled, breaking out in a cold sweat.

These words, spoken by a four-year-old girl, seemed harmless, yet they sent a chill down his spine.

"I'll talk, I'll talk—"

He got scared and finally decided to reveal who was behind it all.

After all, it doesn't matter if I die, but Lin Ruhai's daughter is too terrifying.

He had no doubt that the other party meant what they said and would really wipe out all his relatives if they said they would.

"You only get one chance, so you can start speaking now."

Lin Daiyu said calmly.

The man in black lowered his head and explained in detail: "We were sent by Lord Wu, the Salt Transport Commissioner, to prevent Lord Lin Ruhai from taking up his post in Yangzhou."

"My lord, I have already told you, please spare my relatives."

After the man in black finished speaking, he kowtowed repeatedly and begged.

Lin Daiyu seemed to be thinking about something, then waved her hand: "I keep my word and won't harm your relatives. Send him on his way."

"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Grandma!"

The man in black kept bowing in gratitude.

See, he even thanked me after I killed him.

puff~~

One of the guards drew his sword and swung it, and the leader of the men in black had his head rolled off.

"Clean up the mess and throw all the corpses into the mountains to feed the wild animals."

After giving her instructions, Lin Daiyu went back.

Inside the car, her mother was fast asleep.

He had no idea that his daughter, Lin Daiyu, had just killed a large number of men in black outside.

Even Lin Ruhai didn't notice that all the men in black who attacked had been dealt with without exception.

Everyone slept soundly that night.

Nothing happened all night.

... ...

The next day.

Everyone continued on their way.

This time, Lin Ruhai didn't ride in a carriage; instead, he rode a horse and led the way.

A group of guards followed them, each with a stern face, faithfully protecting the safety of the group and their families.

This pleased Lin Ruhai greatly, and he rewarded them with a considerable amount of money.

Unfortunately, for robots, money is just a pile of shit.

However, it could be given to Lin Daiyu. Since they don't need it, she could use it to give to her younger brother as pocket money.

The journey was not peaceful, and they encountered many bandits.

Without exception, they were all easily dealt with by the guards.

Furthermore, the strongholds of these bandits were also wiped out by an unidentified group.

Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who haven't done anything wrong should be taken back to farm.

Those who were strong and physically fit were enlisted in the army and began training day and night.

In short, these were all minor matters to Lin Daiyu.

"Sister, it's cold outside."

Inside the car, Lin Ziyu whispered a reminder.

"It's nothing, just a little bit of hardship."

Lin Daiyu sat on the carriage frame, gently waving a willow twig in her hand.

The cold wind was blowing, but it actually felt quite refreshing.

It took us six whole days to get here.

Finally, on the evening of the sixth day, we arrived in Yangzhou.

Lin Ruhai had already sent someone to purchase a house here.

It's perfect for settling my family in.

Upon arriving in Yangzhou, Lin Daiyu sent some robots to gather information.

To gather all intelligence information about the entire Yangzhou region.

Since it was evening, Lin Ruhai told his family to go and rest after dinner.

He's about to get back to work.

Lin Daiyu simply arranged for robot guards to protect her family.

Then he had a ten-man squad of guards protect Lin Ruhai closely, and paid no more attention to the others.

She still has a lot to do.

There are many things to do in order to conquer the world.

The first is food; high-yield seeds will be handed over to robots for processing.

They found people to clear the land and plant crops, but where those people came from is another matter.

They took in bandits, thieves, and all sorts of people they could.

If you can secretly control some villages and towns, why would you be afraid of not having anyone?

Besides, these are turbulent times, with refugees everywhere.

It would be a piece of cake to gather a large group of them.

As long as they are given food, enough to eat, and a place to stay, refugees are easily won over.

It has to be said that she is too young now.

It will take at least a few years, until she is older, otherwise it would be a bit exaggerated for her to suddenly conquer the world and become the founding empress at a young age.

Lin Ruhai would probably be scared to death.

With the arrival of Lin Ruhai, the salt commissioner, the officials in charge of salt transport in Lianghuai became nervous.

... ...

"Damn it, the mission failed."

The Salt Transport Commissioner, Lord Wu, was somewhat annoyed and smashed a cup.

He was somewhat nervous and scared.

"Why are you panicking?"

At the head of the table, an old man calmly sipped his tea.

He was none other than Lord Li Mo, the Salt Transport Commissioner of Lianghuai.

Seated below were several other officials, including the prefect of Yangzhou.

"So what if he comes? What waves can he possibly make?"

Lord Li remained calm, showing no concern what Lin Ruhai might find out.

Even if the truth comes out, he won't survive.

Because he threatened the interests and livelihoods of some people, if he doesn't die, who will?

"Tell the men below to be quick-witted and deal with Lin Ruhai first."

Lord Li made the arrangements to target Lin Ruhai.

This will effectively scare away any more people who might come later.

"In short, remember one thing: the Huai River region is our territory."

He gave everyone a boost of confidence and reassured them.

Don't panic, this is their territory.

Lin Ruhai should be the one panicking.

The idea was good, but unfortunately they didn't know that Lin Ruhai's daughter was no longer the frail Lin Daiyu she once was.

They're cheating.

at the same time.

The robot completed its investigation and delivered the information to Lin Daiyu.

"Wow, from top to bottom, it's all part of the same interest system."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the intelligence she had gathered.

Perfect, let's catch them all at once.

"Yes, these guys are rolling in money. I'll take their wealth and assets to expand my army."

She gave the instructions, and the robot would soon take care of it.

Of course, we also need to cooperate with Lin Ruhai.

After all, it would look better if we gave him some achievements.

Let this old man have his fun, that's all. Don't even think about anything else. Just obediently wait to become his retired emperor.

A storm is quietly sweeping across the Huai River region, and it will surely cause a stir.

Local officials were all colluding and plotting against Lin Ruhai, but he managed to defuse them all.

Lin Ruhai felt as if he had divine assistance, and began investigating from a small matter.

This investigation was quite remarkable; it seemed to be accurate every time.

Pull out the radish with its roots, and you'll find a whole nest of stinking mud along with it.

Indeed, Lin Ruhai's first act upon taking office was to strike at the prefect of Yangzhou, and he successfully captured him.

In a short time, the situation in the Huai River region changed dramatically, with undercurrents surging.

Various forces launched assassination attempts, poisoning, and other methods, all aimed at Lin Ruhai.

Because the rats were starting to panic.
