The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 1227 After tonight, the Xie family of Qiyang will cease to exist.

"Search all the houses for any hidden rooms."

The strong smell inside the brothel must be trying to cover something up.

The guards received the order and quickly dispersed to search for the secrets within the brothel.

Fei He didn't rush in. Instead, he waited until the windows were opened and the smell subsided before leading the governor into the inner room.

Inside the room, all those who needed to be arrested were already tied up tightly.

When Fei He entered, Xie Huanying, the head of the Xie family, was bound and kneeling on the ground with a strip of cloth stuffed in his mouth. Hearing the noise, he looked towards the door in terror.

Fei He strode forward, walked around the entire room, and then sat down in front of Xie Huanying.

Fei He crossed his long legs, his eyes filled with disdain, as if he were looking at a dead man.

The governor sat down next to Fei He. When Xie Huanying saw the governor, his eyes lit up with hope, and he could only make muffled cries for help through his mouth, which was gagged with a strip of cloth.

Fei He listened for a while before casually saying, "The governor and the head of the Xie family seem to be quite familiar with each other."

Before Fei He could say anything more, the governor quickly interrupted, "They're all in Qiyang. The Xie family is a prominent family in Qiyang, so it's inevitable that there will be some dealings with them. They're not exactly close."

Xie Huanying's face contorted in a ferocious expression, but he was silenced by a single glance from the governor.

Fei He took in the whole scene, smiled slightly, and did not expose it.

His Majesty is in Qiyang, and it is His Majesty who will decide whether the governor is guilty.

Fei He: "Since we're not exactly close, the Xie family should have been handed over to the governor for investigation. Why don't you take over the matter yourself, Your Excellency?"

Fei He's words stirred hope in Xie Huanying's heart. He could not speak, and could only look at the governor with pleading eyes.

If the governor still can't figure out this Lord Fei's temperament after that meal, then he's wasted all those years in officialdom.

He was clearly a ruthless master who would devour people without spitting out the bones, yet he always spoke sweetly, seemingly giving him the choice, but in reality, he just wanted to openly sow discord between Xie Huanying and that fool.

If it were possible, the governor would have proposed to Lord Fei long ago that he take over the investigation.

But aside from His Majesty, there's also the Empress Dowager in the middle.

This matter concerning the Xie family is destined to end badly.

Even he himself might not be able to pick them all out intact.

The governor shook his head and politely declined: "Your Excellency has come on the Emperor's orders. How could I dare to be disrespectful in front of you?"

As the governor was speaking, the system poked its head out from the doorway. After being glanced at by Fei He, it strolled in.

He stopped in front of Xie Huanying, grinned at him, but Fei He only glanced at him before looking away.

This isn't the first time the puppy has done this; just pretend you didn't see it. After all, even if His Majesty were here, he wouldn't care.

They might even become more lenient.

Seeing this, the governor followed suit, averting his gaze to avoid looking at Xie Huanying's humiliated eyes.

Xie Huanying had never suffered such humiliation before. He had been used to a life of smooth sailing, but now, kneeling before a dog, his inherent pride shattered.

However, since the system has been by the host's side for a long time, it can guess what these people are thinking with just a glance.

The system bared its teeth at Xie Huanying and suddenly charged forward, startling Xie Huanying so much that his body trembled. The image of his father lying on the ground, his lower body covered in blood, flashed before his eyes again.

A warm current flowed from beneath him, and the system quickly turned its face away in disgust. As it left Xie Huanying's presence, it didn't forget to give him a look of disgust.

This was the first time Xie Huanying had ever been looked down upon by a dog. He was so angry that he trembled all over, and he looked at the system with eyes that seemed to want to tear it apart and suck its marrow.

Fei He sat in the chair watching the man and the dog fight with their eyes. Before long, the sounds of smashing and breaking echoed throughout the brothel.

The governor immediately looked up and around, turning his head to see what was happening all around the brothel.

Just as the governor was feeling uneasy, the door to the house was opened from the outside, and several guards dragged in a few sacks.

The sack was opened, revealing a group of teenagers who had been drugged and rendered unconscious.

They didn't look very old, and their exposed skin had bluish-purple wounds, which made them look quite pitiful.

"Sir, we found seven or eight sacks in the basement of the brothel, all filled with children this age. They had tortured the madam. We arrived late and sent out two batches, but we've already sent people to retrieve them."

The system merely glanced up before launching a flying kick into Xie Huanying's back.

The system launched into a tirade of abuse at Xie Huanying, but only Liang Chongyue, who was walking in front of the control panel, could hear how foul the abuse was.

After listening for a couple of sentences, Liang Chongyue couldn't help but interrupt the system's ineffective performance.

Liang Chongyue: "I provide you with the best food and drink every year, not so that you can just talk big at this time."

Liang Chongyue was already furious about the Yun family's incident last time, and this time the Xie family went against the grain, completely disregarding imperial authority and the law.

With the host's tacit approval, the system seemed to be infused with primal power, kicking each target silently.

After a few kicks, the gag in Xie Huanying's mouth was stained crimson, and she collapsed onto the urine stains she had left behind.

The governor watched this scene, closed his eyes, turned his head away, and silently prayed for himself.

As a result, when she turned her head, she had just finished praying and opened her eyes to meet Lord Fei's scrutinizing gaze.

The governor chuckled awkwardly and quickly added, "This little dog is truly born with superhuman strength and hates evil like poison."

The system had no time to consider such recognition; with a leap, the dog, like a crow taking off from an airplane, landed squarely on Xie Huanying.

Xie Huanying couldn't withstand the weight of the system and collapsed to the ground, spitting blood.

If it weren't for the quick reflexes of the guards who pulled the gag out of his mouth, Xie Huanying would have choked to death on his own blood.

Having gotten revenge, the system felt a bit better, but it remembered not to kill the person, since the Xie family still had a mess to settle.

Xie Huanying was carried aside by the guards for treatment, while Fei He was looking at the account books of other Xie family businesses that had just been sent from elsewhere.

The governor had long wanted to leave this place. He noticed that guards would come in with account books every now and then, and occasionally they would carry in people who looked like they had just been tortured.

The incense burner beside him was filled with calming incense sticks, which could also be used to record time. In just half an hour, the governor stood by Lord Fei's side and witnessed the Xie family's rise and fall.

The Xie family has been in Qiyang for nearly a century, and their influence is deeply entrenched. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to keep the Qingyu Pavilion's influence in Qiyang a secret.

If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. After tonight, the Xie family of Qiyang will cease to exist.

If the governor had initially been wary of Lord Fei, and was considering his own and his family's future.

Half an hour later, he came to terms with it.
