<h4>Chapter 128: 128. Consequence</h4>


    Jia Xu: "I have found out the reason My Lord, the Fang n heir has fancied Lady Cai Wenji. He has confessed his love to her but is rejected, he feels humiliated and decides to hurt Lady Cai Wenji by kidnapping Little Madam whom he knew that Lady Cai Wenji thought as her sister."


    Lie Fan: "What?! Does this bastard think that Wannian is some sort of item he can just steal and then return her? Does he not know who Wannian is and who''s her family?"


    Jia Xu: "From what he said, he already knew but he thinks it will be wless, and after a week or less he said that he will give back Little Madam to us."


    Lie Fan: ''Humph! Lady Cai Wenji is an honored guest of my n and tutor of Wannian. From now on assign protection for her, bodyguards from Lie n''s Guard or the City Guard''s."


    Cai Wenji is the Daughter of Cai Yong, he wants to slowly assimte the Cai Ckan to be his subjects. If because of the Fang n, his n breaks down because of how unsafe Xiapi is, he will execute all generations of the Fang n.


    Cai n is irreceable, while the Fang n is receable. This incident woke Lie Fan up, he needed to clean up the inner problem that still gued his government, or set an example everyone would stay in line as no matter how big of benefits they received their base was still in Xu Province.


    The Fang n Heir, named Fang Jiao now is writhing in pain inside the room. He regrets provoking Lie Fan and doesn''t listen to his father''s warning to never offend him, but thinking about Cai Wenji, his thirst for her is unquenched, and desires to take her down.


    Lie Fan told Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to bring the sleeping Wannian back to his residence and let Diao Chan and Ying Yue take care of her. Lie Fan entered the room and saw Fang Jiao slithering in pain.


    Lie Fan: "Fang n Heir, Fang Jia you truly have some nerves to kidnap my sister. Just for a woman, you do such a stupid thing."


    Fang Jiao: "I-I''m sorry Governor about your sister, B-but?! How could that harlot refuse my confession?! She should have been proud that a guy like me confessed to her!"


    Lie Fan: "Humph! Let me tell you, Lady Cai Wenji is to be my concubine, and you want to put your oily hands on her?! Hehe.."


    Lie Fan was trying to prolong his suffering, by saying that the woman he fancied already belonged to another man. But Jia Xu and Fang Jiao misunderstood him, thinking that Lie Fan already imed Cai Wenji.


    Fang Jiao was shocked and felt resentment and bitterness in his heart, Lie Fan already had 2 beautiful women be his wives and he still wanted more. Jia Xu, on the other hand, raised Cai Wenji''s level of importance to be the same as Diao Chan and Ying Yue.


    Lie Fan and Jia Xu heard amotion in the lobby, an Oriole member walked in and said that the Head of the Fang n had arrived. Lie Fan sneered, the Fang n days in Xiapi are over with their riches will be taken.


    He decided to execute all members of the Fang n, he didn''t want his already great reputation to be tarnished. Even though he can rewrite history in the future, the people will not fully support him which can cause some problems with his policies.


    Lie Fan takes a sword from an Oriole member, He approaches Fang Jiao and shes his neck with the sword. Fang Jiao was holding his neck, with disbelief in his eyes at how Lie Fan killed him even though his Father had arrived.


    Jia Xu was not surprised by this, even if they decided to not Execute or take Fang n''s riches they still needed to show an example to others. The Oriole cleaned the room and one of them beheaded Fang Jiao and took his head wrapping it with a big cloth.


    The body was disposed of, and the head already in a cloth was being held by the Oriole member. Lie Fan and Jia Xu alongside the oriole member leave the room, they go downstairs to meet with the Head of the Fang n who is arguing with some of his men.


    Fang Zhu, The Head of the Fang n and Fang Caravan right now is panicking. His only son and heir to the group, he doesn''t know what''s wrong in his brain that he dared to kidnap the sister of Xu Province Governor Lie Fan.


    He regrets spoiling the bastard right now, not only did he put himself in great danger also dragged the n alongside him. When he heard the news that it was his son, and he was found at theirrgest brothel he immediately ran over abandoning the negotiation with Mi Zhu.


    Lie Fan''s political maneuver and cleaning in Xu Province have been seen by all, he wanted to rule Xu Province with an iron hand. Many officials and merchants have fallen to his maw and their riches were distributed to others, receiving hush money and keeping their mouths shut.


    This interest group has been formed, and now his n can be the next one. While he was arguing with one of the city guards, he saw Lie Fan approaching him with Jia Xu Lie Fan''s most trusted advisor and servant holding a cloth bag.


    Fang Zhu: "Governor Lie Fan, I apologize for what my son has done. It''s my fault as his parents that I failed to educate him and caused this big mess, please spare him, Governor, I willpensate for all the damages he has caused."


    Lie Fan: "Hmph! He has traumatized my sister, and no amount ofpensation can alleviate the pain caused to her! He even confessed that doing so because he was infatuated with Lady Cai Wenji and did this as an act of revenge as she turned him down, a scum like him doesn''t deserve to live!"


    After saying that, Lie Fan gestured to the servants to show what was inside the cloth bag to Fang Zhu. Fang Zhu sees the servants open the cloth bag, and his eyes grow wide in grief and hatred seeing the head of his son.


    Fang Zhu let out a cry of pain, taking the cloth bag from his, and tears streamed down his face. Lie Fan has grown stoic with this kind of thing, his Willpower, and how he has seen many things happening in war-tornnd this is nothingpared to that.


    Lie Fan: "This is the consequence of what your son has done, and the properties of your n will be confiscated. Your n is reduced to work under the new owner of your properties, your wealth a quarter of the will be taken aspensation."


    Fang Zhu: "Governor Lie Fan that''s enough! Is my son''s death not enough for you?! The rest of my n are innocent, why do you implicate them?!"


    Lie Fan: "me yourself for your ipetence in educating your son, how foolish of a son you have offending me and kidnapping my sister. Now your can can only be an example, of what will happen to those who offend me!"


    Lie Fan finished saying his words, and he ordered everyone to follow him back. They leave Fang Zhu who is still grieving the loss of his son, apanied by his guards alone at the brothel.


    Tao Qian saw all of this, he began to fear this young man whom he underestimated at first. His methods were cold and calcted, he also didn''t hesitate to do what he wanted. He began to wonder if his choice in epting this assignment was a good one, as now he was stuck between two rocks. He sighed and left the brothel, walking towards his residence to rest.


    The upper circle of Xiapi immediately heard the news, and the older generations began to discipline their younger generations. Telling them to never offend Lie Fan, as an interest group has been formed and the unity has been broken with Lie Fan splitting up the benefits or interests


    Fang n is an example, Fang n is one of the biggest merchant ns in Xiapi second to the Mi n. They were based in Xiapi, and their goods circted across all of Xu Province but now they had lost everything and all of its allies didn''t even step in to help.


    This is because they knew that Lie Fan would split the cake, and all of them would receive some one way or another. It''s better for them to just sit down and shut their mouth, receiving the slice of the cake given to them as they don''t want to be the next Fang n.


    Now each n is wary of each other, afraid that they will be sacrificed. Lie Fan''s cruel method of separating the unity, and even if the Fang n still have their wealth, it will surely go down the drain if they can''t change their lifestyle.


    They can''t even leave the Xu Province, as they are forced to beborers who were paid to the new owner of their properties that were given to others.


    Lie Fan arrived back at his residence, and the security of his residence was upgraded with more Lie n guards deployed in the perimeter. It''s already nighttime, Lie Fan told Jia Xu to return and tomorrow with Mi Zhu to split the cakes.


    Lie Fan entered his residence with his bodyguards, he was mentally tired today because of worrying about his sister. He began to think about allocating one of his bodyguards to each of his wives and his sister.


    Entering his room, he saw Ying Yue sitting on the bed waiting for him. Ying Yue stood up when she saw Lie Fan, helping him take off his robe. Ying Yue told Lie Fan to wash himself first, the bath was already prepared for him.


    Lie Fan goes to take a bath, and Ying Yue pours some tea for Lie Fan to drink. 15 minutester, Lie Fan finished his bath and returned to his room with clean clothes, drinking the tea that was given by Ying Yue to him.


    Lie Fan: "Thank You Yue''er, how is Wannian?"


    Ying Yue: "Husban don''t worry, Sister Diao Chan is apanying Wannian with Lasy Cai Wenji. Both of them take turns taking care of Wannian, while I was assigned to take care of you by sister Diao Chan."


    Lie Fan: "Hah that''s good, Wannian needs more of our attention. I''m afraid that she is traumatized by what just happened, let''s apany her to y this week."


    Ying Yue agreed with Lie Fan''s words, she hugged him telling him not to worry and to take a rest. Tomorrow they will go and see Wannian together, Lie Fan being hugged by Ying Yue feeling her soft body and smelling her fragrance changed his attention to her.


    He picks her up causing Ying Yue to give a small cry surprised by Lie Fan''s action, when she looks up and sees Lie Fan''s eyes filled with desire her face begins to heat up knowing what Lie Fan will do next. Lie Fan brings her to the bed, and sounds of grunts and moans can be heard from the room, after some time they finally stop as they wee a new day.
