Inside the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Prince Consort, I've invited you to the meeting hall this time. There are two matters that require your decision," Lan Weixiong introduced respectfully.
"You don't have to be so polite, City Lord Lan. There's no harm in speaking your mind," Yu Haoran nodded.
"The first matter concerns the distribution of the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury."
It turned out that under Lan Weixiong's orders and Lan Xin's reminder, Qi Liyong had mobilized a large number of troops in the city and used his special relationship with Lei Xingjun to easily take down the Evil Dragon Gang's headquarters.
Perhaps it was because of selfishness or curiosity, Qi Liyong had secretly opened the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury after successfully suppressing the thousands of gang members.
He wanted to see how much wealth Lei Xingjun had accumulated after running amok in Weidao Lake for decades.
He also wanted to see if the wealth in the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury could satisfy Yu Haoran, the son-in-law of the Evil Dragon Gang, so that he would give up on pursuing the crimes of the Evil Dragon Gang in Profound Mountain City's City Lord's Residence.
However, when he saw the Spirit Stones piled up like a mountain on the first floor, the Spirit Herbs on the second floor, and the densely packed Elixir Bottles on the third floor, he immediately exited the treasury in shock and rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion in Mount Wei City as fast as he could.
This was because the number of Spirit Stones on the first floor of the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury had far exceeded the total income of Weidao City in the past ten years.
Not to mention the Spirit Herbs and Pills, as well as the even more valuable treasures on the fourth and fifth floor of the treasury.
Whether or not to give all the wealth and treasures to Yu Haoran was no longer something that Qi Liyong could decide alone. At the same time, it required the City Lord and the Supervisor to make the decision.
Lan Weixiong's way of dealing with the information revealed by Qi Liyong was relatively simple.
Since he had already agreed to give it to Yu Haoran, no matter how valuable the wealth and treasures in the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury were, he could not go back on his word after seeing the wealth.
However, the Supervisor, Tu Xing, was not only strongly opposed to giving away the treasury, but he also planned to hide this information and think of a way to make Yu Haoran leave Weidao City as soon as possible so that they could take over the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury as soon as possible.
"City Lord Lan, help this Prince Consort investigate the imprisoned Evil Dragon Gang members."
"If the crime isn't serious, release them immediately."
"If their crimes are too serious, you can behead them in public at the market. Not only can you help those who have committed heinous crimes escape, but you can also show off your glorious image as the City Lord of Weishan City, eliminating evil and protecting the innocent."
Facing the first thing that Lan Weixiong said, Yu Haoran considered it for a while before giving his own suggestion.
"Alright, we'll do as you say!" Nodding his head, Lan Weixiong readily agreed.
Tu Xing, who was leaning back in his chair, did not say a word. It could be said that he had silently agreed with his suggestion.
"As for the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury …"
Yu Haoran lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then, he raised his head and instructed Lan Weixiong.
"City Lord Lan, report this to the imperial court immediately and hand it over to His Majesty."
At this point, he looked at Tu Xing and said with a slight smirk.
"However, when this Prince Consort leaves Weishan City, I will personally make a trip to the Evil Dragon Gang's treasure vault. After that, I will utilize a formation to completely seal off the treasure vault so as to prevent some people with ill intentions from getting ahead of me and taking away the most precious treasures within the treasure vault."
Although he knew that the person with ulterior motives Yu Haoran was referring to was him, Tu Xing could not stand up and refute him.
After all, leaving the Emperor to deal with the Evil Dragon Gang's treasury was too ruthless, too vicious, and too ruthless.
Even if he was an extremely powerful supervisor, even if he secretly controlled nearly 70% of the forces in Weishan City, he did not dare to commit the crime of secretly keeping the treasures in the treasury.
"Prince Consort, the second matter concerns Weishan Lake."
Not only did Yu Haoran easily resolve the matter that had caused him and Tu Xing to quarrel until their faces turned red, but Tu Xing could not say anything about it. Furthermore, Yu Haoran had allowed him to curry favor with His Majesty.
While Lan Weixiong was deeply impressed by Yu Haoran's methods, he quickly brought up the second matter that they had been arguing about. It concerned the management rights of Weishan Lake.
Although Weishan Lake was under Weishan City's jurisdiction in name, ever since Lei Xingjun's Evil Dragon Gang had occupied it, Weishan Lake had become an independent island due to various special reasons.
Now, all the Martial Emperors and Martial Saints in the Evil Dragon Gang had been annihilated by Yu Haoran. The Evil Dragon Gang's headquarters had also been destroyed by Qi Liyong. Weishan Lake naturally belonged to Weishan City's City Lord's Mansion, which meant that it belonged to Lan Weixiong.
However, Tu Xing had used the fact that his living environment was not good for monitoring Weishan City's military affairs as a reason to forcefully demand the management rights of Weishan Lake. This made Lan Weixiong unhappy.
He was unhappy not because of the wealth in Weishan Lake, but because of the beautiful environment of Weishan Lake. His three daughters had always yearned for it.
In the past, due to the Evil Dragon Gang's existence, he was worried that his three beautiful daughters would be in danger, so he rarely let them go to Weishan Lake.
Now that he had the opportunity to take over Weishan Lake and hand it over to his three daughters to manage and modify, he was sure that they would be very happy.
And if his three daughters were happy, as a father, Lan Weixiong would be even happier.
"City Lord Lan, the issue of the ownership of Weishan Lake is a matter of government affairs. You only need to file it with the court. You don't need to ask for anyone's opinion."
Yu Haoran did not even consider the second troublesome matter that Lan Weixiong had mentioned, nor did he give Tu Xing any face.
"Wait!" Tu Xing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth to stop Lan Weixiong when he saw the happy smile on Lan Weixiong's face.
"City Lord Lan, what is this rude fellow doing?" Yu Haoran glanced coldly at Tu Xing and asked with obvious humiliation.
"Emperor's son-in-law, it is this City Lord's fault for forgetting to introduce Lord Tu to you."
Hearing the humiliation in Yu Haoran's tone, Lan Weixiong, who was worried that the two would quarrel, hurriedly introduced Tu Xing with a smile.
"Lord Tu Xing is the Supervisor and is in charge of Weishan City's military affairs."
After hearing Lan Weixiong's introduction, Yu Haoran purposely dragged out his tone and said, "So it's Lord Supervisor!"
"Emperor's son-in-law, what do you mean?" Tu Xing could not help but ask with a gloomy expression. He purposely dragged out his words to make the humiliation even more obvious.
Since you know that I am the Emperor's son-in-law, why don't you kneel and greet me? "
Faced with Tu Xing's question, Yu Haoran's expression also darkened as he roared back.
"Could it be that the laws of the Emperor Qin Empire are just empty words in your eyes? Or perhaps the power of the Supervisor has already surpassed the laws of the Great Qin Empire?"
The series of questions made Lan Weixiong admire Yu Haoran's brilliance even more. At the same time, Tu Xing took a few steps back with a pale face.
Then, he unwillingly knelt on one knee and bowed.
