It was over, Lai Baihu had turned into a waste. Now even if he wanted to climb high, he would not be allowed to as eunuchs were not allowed to take higher positions other than in the imperial palace!
The people who were bullied by Lai Baihu were so happy that they burst into tears. This man had caused them so much pain but now he was finally suffering with his position and manhood lost, let's see how he would find trouble with them!
Su Wan did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for someone like Lai Baihu. She looked at the bloody mess that was left behind as Lai Baihu was taken out of the small room where he was turned into a eunuch and frowned before saying, " Take him to his home and bring a physician to him.
Letting him keep his life, is the last bit of mercy I will show him but in case he dares to have any other ideas then he can forget about living as well."
Lai Baihu was the typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The second he saw the sword fall he fainted only to wake up because of the pain but he passed out again as the pain was too much.
Su Wan did not let him become a laughing stock for long, she waved her hand and asked the guards to take him away while asking the workers to clean the blood. It was too unlucky, on the first day of her work, she had to spill blood. But Su Wan did not regret it, after all, this was something that needed to be done.
She climbed up the stairs of the county magistrate but then she walked past Qi Zhen who looked at her with a glint in his eyes. Even though he did not say anything, Su Wan knew that this matter was not over.
However, she was not worried. She would deal with the obstacles one by one as they came towards her.
Once they stepped out of the county magistrate's office, Su Wan asked Yan Zhao to bring the reports about the lands in the Big Ocean City and was not surprised to find that most of the pieces of land were in strict control of the Lai family.
" There is a commercial street that is rather desolate as it's located far from the Main Street, though it's said to be a commercial street, hardly any transactions or business take place there."
" What about the land?" Su Wan asked as she thought about the plants that she had carried down from the mountains.
" There are many wastelands outside the city but they naturally can't compare to the fertile land that is under the Lai family," replied Yan Zhao politely.
Su Wan sighed, the pieces of land in the cities were not good, so she could only take a look at these wastelands.
She sighed and then stood up from the chair. For the time being, let's put the matter of farming on hold and start with Snack Street as long as Snack Street starts generating some revenue they will be able to get on a stable track.
"Let's go, Lord Yan," Su Wan said to the man next to her. " Show me the street that you are talking about. If it's good then I will buy it and you can use the money to stabilize the families of those who died in the winter."
The county magistrate's office looked grand but under the lack of tax payment, it was completely empty. Forget about paying the families of those who died, they did not even have enough money to hold the funeral of those who died! Even a coffin cannot be purchased with the funds that were left in the locker of the county magistrate.
