Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

Chapter 241 City Lord’s Mansion

Inside the city lord's palace.

A luxurious feast is going on.

The long table of Han Liping and his companions was filled with a dazzling array of fine wines and delicacies, the aroma of wine overflowing, making one's mouths water. Meanwhile, the beautiful women in gorgeous clothes danced gracefully, their veils fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of charm to the feast.

Han Liping sat in the main seat with a hypocritical smile on his face. He drank while talking to the man next to him. The words were testing each other, and there was another kind of swordplay.

The middle-aged man next to Han Liping was wearing the costume of the White Bear Country. He had star-shaped eyebrows, sharp eyes, a rough face, and an unruly wildness.

"Second Prince, how about this wine?" Han Liping raised the cup, turned his head and asked with a smile.

"It is indeed a good wine!"

The rugged middle-aged man drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, his expression still full of satisfaction. "The Central Plains is really a great place. There are all kinds of fine wines and beautiful women. Especially the land is fertile and the products are abundant."

"Second Prince, don't be anxious. Those will soon be yours." Han Liping smiled flatteringly, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

"You're right!"

The man slammed the table and laughed, looking at Han Liping with a pair of sharp eyes, "When the great cause succeeds, we will never forget the contribution of City Lord Han. The title of marquis is just a small matter."

Han Liping raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Thank you very much, Second Prince."

Back then, Han Liping was a young talent with status and reputation in the capital. Unfortunately, when he was just one step away from being granted a title of nobility, he was sent to Ningguta by the previous emperor.

What a pity!

If the late emperor had not investigated the Ministry of War and if he had not been implicated in some other minor matters, he would definitely not have been demoted to this bitter and cold Ningguta to be the city lord of some stupid thing!

It seems to be a horizontal transfer, but in fact it is just "exile"!

He has worked hard over the years and spent a lot of effort to gain the trust of the Jiangnan families, but these people are ruthless and not only want benefits, but also want him to stay here forever.

Humph, if that's the case, why does he have to be the city lord of the Great Yong Dynasty? As long as he can meet the Second Prince's requirements, he will soon be the new noble of the White Bear Kingdom! The youngest marquis.

The Second Prince's eyes shifted horizontally, scanning the other wealthy businessmen sitting below him. "Don't worry, everyone. Everything will be the same in the future. However... this silver doesn't need to be shipped to Jiangnan!"

"It's just a small business. If the Second Prince likes it, we will naturally offer it to him with both hands!" someone shouted first.

"No, no, what do I need your business for? I will never do anything to seize good property." The second prince shook his head.

"If that's the case, then why bother with all this pretense? We are just small people working for the master. Please show some mercy, Second Prince!" said another person.

The second prince changed the subject and spoke slowly, word by word: "Will you spare me? Humph," he snorted coldly and raised his eyelids to glance at the guards beside him.

After receiving the instructions, the guards immediately walked up to the person who had just spoken, quickly drew their swords and killed him!

Blood splattered on the spot and heads fell to the ground!

"what--"

"this--"

The others around were startled and screamed in shock. Only Han Liping sat upright, watching all this with a cold eye, unmoved.

……

This scene at the banquet.

All of this fell into the eyes of Su Chengnan and his group.

The door to the secret room was in the wing next to Han Liping's study. After they came out, they eliminated the guards in the mansion along the way and followed the sound of music.

"These people kill without blinking an eye. I'm afraid they will be difficult to deal with!" Bingsan said in a low voice, with a serious look in his eyes.

"To catch a thief, we must first catch the king! If we can control the second prince and Han Liping, the rest of the people will be easy to deal with." Su Chengnan analyzed in a low voice.

Bingsan and Yier looked at each other and said, "Alright! The two of us will deal with the second prince, and the rest will be left to you!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their voices filled with nervousness and excitement.

"Miss, you hide here. If the situation is not right, quickly evacuate from the secret passage!" Bingsan whispered.

"There is no chance of any accidents. We must win this battle! Fighting with wisdom is not as good as fighting with force!" Su Chengnan took out a green jade porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

Qingshan looked at her in surprise, "The prince actually gave this to you?"

Su Chengnan nodded. This was indeed the poison Lu Chaofeng gave her when they parted, saying that she could use it at a critical moment.

"Mix it in water and pour it onto the charcoal fire to accelerate the onset of the poison! Everyone should take the antidote in advance." She took out another bottle of pills and distributed it to everyone.

Everyone swallowed the pills Su Chengnan gave them without hesitation, and Qingshan took the poison, "I'm familiar with this thing, I'll do it."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then." Yi Er said.

"Do it!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, with determination in their voices.

Following Su Chengnan's order, everyone acted quickly.

Dozens of figures filed out and took advantage of the enemy guards' unpreparedness to kill many people in an instant.

The dancers ran away and the rich businessman was in chaos.

Han Liping saw something unexpected happen and cried out, "Help! Help! There's an assassin!"

The second prince had two personal guards, one rushed out and the other retreated in front of him to protect him, while he continued to drink calmly.

Han Liping shouted for a long time but no one came out. He felt like he was facing a great enemy. He didn't have any image concerns, so he stood up and ran. If he couldn't escape, he would crawl under the table.

"Waste!" The second prince looked down on his behavior and cursed.

Then he said coldly: "Go kill them!"

"Yes!" The person in front of him accepted the order.

Qingshan had already poured the poisonous water into the charcoal brazier. With a sizzling sound, white smoke quickly rose from the brazier.

Bingsan and the others had all taken the antidote in advance as instructed by Su Chengnan, so they were fine. However, the others in the hall were in a much worse situation.

"This...what's going on?" Han Liping poked his head out from under the table, looking at the white smoke in horror, his voice trembling slightly.

"No, it's poisonous!"

The Second Prince's personal guards also noticed something was wrong and quickly covered their mouths and noses, but it was too late. His movements became sluggish, his entire face showing an extremely painful expression, and finally he collapsed to the ground, "Prince, be careful!"

The second prince staggered, held on for two or three seconds, and then fell down with a bang.

The situation is set!

Su Chengnan personally grabbed Han Liping by the collar and dragged him out from under the table. "Han Liping, you colluded with the White Bear Nation, colluding with them from within and without, causing the people to lose their homes and their families! Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"

"You...you dare! I am the city lord. If you dare to touch me, it is a rebellion!" Han Liping was still making his last struggle.
