Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

Du Xuechun directly told people to go from house to house. Don’t go out at will tonight. The city gate is now sealed. In this way, those bandits can really become turtles in the urn.

In the early morning, many small streets and alleys are full of blood. In order to avoid frightening the civilians, Yun Yiwei helped these officers and soldiers to remove the corpses and blood stains one by one.

At this time, Du Xuechun had a good night's sleep.

...

The distance between Starcatcher City and the capital is too far, and the environment in the city is very chaotic now, she does not want to transfer people from the capital, after all, the situation is not waiting for people, there still needs to be a person in charge in a city.

Just as she was worried about this issue, Wu Zhuoqian took the initiative to speak: "Manny, there is a family named Liao in Star City, and there is a descendant in it. He was once the apprentice of my father. He was docile, honest and non-partisan, since my father died. Since then, he has been suppressed by the wicked person, and this person may be able to relieve his worries for the empress."

Oh?

Du Xuechun was somewhat interested in this person.

"Then call to have a look."

After receiving the order, Liao Tingde got into the carriage a little confused. He is already in his thirties. Although he reads the four books and five classics on weekdays, the city lord has never been willing to reuse the people of the previous city lord.

He couldn't get fame, after all, there was a wicked man in front of him, so he could only make a living by writing and painting for others. Today, when he received the order to go to the City Lord's Mansion, his heart suddenly panicked.

After arriving at the place, the Yunyiwei led Liao Tingde to Du Xuechun.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Liao Tingde was a little surprised. Isn't it because the city lord wants to see him?

A quarter of an hour later, Du Xuechun slowly explained the situation to him. When talking about lack of manpower, he wanted Liao Tingde to be the new lord of the city, he actually knelt down and refused.

"Niangniang really praises the Caomin too much. Although Caomin has a lot of ink, he doesn't know anything about the things Niangniang said. It's really hard to do it!"

Seeing him pushing away, Du Xuechun raised her eyebrows.

"What if this palace lets you do it? You can learn what you don't know, but the most important thing in this palace is quality. Moreover, it is not difficult to be the lord of a city that needs to deal with daily affairs. You only need to have a diligent heart to learn. That's it."

Although Du Xuechun's tone was plain, the meaning contained in it was hard to refuse. Liao Tingde did not refuse any more. He slowed down and directly gave a big gift to Du Xuechun.

"Today, Liao was appreciated by the Empress Empress. This kindness is not unforgettable. Cao Min will definitely use all his skills to manage the Star Harvest City. If one day Cao Min feels that he is not competent, he will resign and apologize!"

Seeing his sincere appearance, Du Xuechun nodded, feeling a little more comfortable.

She checked the accounts for the past few days, just to see if this Liao Tingde was as noble and clean as he appeared to be.

After Liao Tingde went down, she looked at Wu Zhuoqian and said, "This person seems to be a real person. Presumably this kind of person becomes the city lord and will not treat the people harshly."

"Yes, my father also fell in love with him at the beginning. It is not easy for people to always hold a heart of innocence." What Du Xuechun said is exactly what his father once praised in his ear.

Du Xuechun nodded: "Well, since there is nothing wrong now, you can go back. My palace is going to see the shop now."

...

In just one morning, the current Queen Empress made a private visit, and the news that the city lord had been taken away in one night spread throughout the city of Picking Stars.

The people and merchants who were suppressed by the city lord on weekdays were overjoyed. This is really a pie falling from the sky. They finally don't need to be oppressed anymore.

For a time, outside the city lord's mansion was like Shili Town at that time, and many people came curiously.

The evil deeds of the city lord of Starcatcher City have long been spread, and these people have long been unable to stand his suppression. Du Xuechun beheaded him directly, and naturally won the favor of many people.

On this day, after Du Xuechun had a rest, he went to his shop to check the situation.

The situation here is much better than in Shili City. No one is greedy and innocent. Because they are leaning on the capital behind their backs, no one dares to trouble Xueyun Business, and the income is good.

The shopkeeper had a simple face, looking at the woman in a red skirt in front of him, and couldn't help feeling excited.

Never expected that he would actually see the rumored queen empress.

At the beginning, he came from the capital, and he had lived in Star City for a long time. He had heard of the evil deeds of the city lord, and he was very disgusted.

Now, that city lord was rectified on the spot, but it was a shocking and joyous event.

Since there were no other major events in the shops in this city, Du Xuechun only took one day to check all the eight shops in Star City.

She has Ying Niang as a helper, so she can do everything with less effort.

When returning home, Du Xuechun slowly closed her eyes and prepared to rest for a while. Who knew Ying Niang suddenly knelt down on the carriage.

Du Xuechun was a little unsure, but he quickly helped her up, "What are you doing?"

"The queen, the slave is guilty." Niang Ying did not want to get up. She lowered her head and kept mumbling. Du Xuechun did not notice any slight changes in her voice while she was anxious.

After a while, Ying Niang was finally persuaded by Du Xuechun.

"Actually, I am a man."

Du Xuechun raised her head in surprise and looked at the tall Ying Niang. In fact, she had doubts before. Ying Niang never served her to dress and wash, and she always acted alone, which was strange.

But now she says she is a man?

Seeing the disbelief in Du Xuechun's eyes, Ying Niang tore off the disguise she had made at her Adam's apple, revealing her original appearance.

Du Xuechun looked at him incredulously, feeling a little unreasonable in her heart. She did not expect that she would have been deceived for so long.

"I grew up with boys and girls, and I was often ridiculed by people, but I didn't expect that what I hate most now becomes my life-saving straw."

"My father was actually the big owner of the former Xue Ji firm, but when he passed through Star City, he was murdered by the city lord and seized his family property. The city lord’s power is all over, and he has been chasing after him. That’s why I made this move. Anxious to bury my father’s body, this will be..."

Ying Niang whispered, his voice had long been transformed, it was a very elegant young man.

"Then what was your original name?"

After listening to the explanation, Du Xuechun didn't feel much irritation, she could understand Ying Niang's behavior. "The minion was originally named Xue Ying."

"Good name."

Seeing that Du Xuechun seemed to show no signs of anger, Xue Ying's heart was relieved, and he looked at her carefully. That look made Du Xuechun couldn't help but smile.
