Yan Zhao thought that he was doing a good job maintaining the city but now that he found out that women were being tormented under his nose and old and sickly not getting beaten up because they could note up with the money for a bribe, he was so furious that he wanted to stab Lai Baihu a hundred times.


    Lai Baihu had a wife, three daughters and a son of his own. If one was to see it carefully, he had a happy family and his sry was not low either but he still dared to do something so horrible? Where did he put his, Yan Zhao face? And now that he had to face the consequences of his actions, he was asking for his help. Did Lai Baihu think that he was a fool?


    He then turned to look at Su Wan and expressed his loyalty in public, " Madam Su, you can deal with this man as you wish. In the present as well as in the future, your will is our will. There will be no objection from my side!"


    This was to clear up any reluctance and resistance towards Su Wan, he wanted to tell the officials that he and Su Wan were on the same ne. Even if they wanted to find trouble with Su Wan, they could not do it by using him as a raft!


    Sure enough, many officials'' expressions changed along with Lai Baihu. They all looked at Yan Zhao as if he had gone crazy, he was tantly supporting Su Wan. Was he not afraid of losing all the power in his hands? What kind of foolish act was this?


    The officials looked at Yan Zhao who did not even nce at them and then turned to look at the cold-faced young woman who stood in front of them and suddenly had an urge to cry. Their future was now in the hands of this woman. She was so cruel! How could they work under someone who was this cruel?


    Just a small matter of sleeping with women who had no name and identity led to getting turned into a eunuch, this was really too much!


    Especially, Lai Baihu. He looked at Yan Zhao as if he was looking at an idiot. He could not understand how a big man like Yan Zhao was willing to let go of the power in his hands, what Lai Baihu did not know that Yan Zhao was very much aware of his skills. He could see that he couldn''t control these officials.


    His heart was soft and he cared about his colleagues andmoners all the same because of this he did not dare to harm anyone. He had given punishment but neither of those punishments taught these people a lesson. If that was the case then what was the point of keeping the power in his hands? Wasn''t it good to hand it to Su Wan who could deal with these people swiftly?


    " Are you crazy?" Seeing that Yan Zhao was really serious this time, Lai Baihu could not help but blurt out.


    Yan Zhao ignored him and then turned to look at his colleagues who stood in front of him, including his secretary. He opened his mouth and then loudly said, " You all, listen carefully because I am only going to say this once. Since you all have lived prosperous lives under the other county magistrates then it goes without saying that you will have to live the life given to you by Madam Su.


    From now on she is the master of this city, she is appointed by the Emperor which means that she has great wisdom and wits. Her decision is approved by the Emperor, himself! If you have anyints then you can go and question his majesty!"


    The reason Yan Zhao dared to say such words was that he knew that Su Wan truly cared about themoners. Even if he left the power in her hands, Yan Zhao was sure that the ones to suffer would never be themoners!


    Seeing that Yan Zhao was willing to follow Su Wan no one dared to say anything, after all, who asked Su Wan to be the county magistrate appointed by the Emperor?


    The situation was changing and they could only agree to flow along with it.


    When Lai Baihu saw that no one was standing up for him, he was so angry that his face twisted into a malevolent expression. He was also regretful, why did he bother with this woman? He should have allowed her to go inside the county office. If he had done it then he would not have been in trouble like this.


    But he still did not want to give up which was why he looked at Su Wan and then said in a hurry, " County magistrate please be merciful. I have a wife and children. If you do this to me then my wife will have to live a life of a widow! And what about my children? You cannot embarrass them like such, if others find out then they would definitely make fun of my kids."


    Su Wan sneered coldly, " Embarrassed? Now you know what embarrassment is? Did you not think that it was embarrassing when you caused many women to die? You did not think that it was embarrassing when you beat up the elderly and then stole their money in the name of a protection fee? Who are you protecting them from when they need protection from beasts like you?!"


    " As for your wife, what face do you have to show in front of her? You were the one who ruined her first. She waits for you at your home and gives birth to three children for you, but you go around wagging your tongue after every woman you see. Have you thought about how it would affect her reputation? No, you did not!


    When you were stealing money and forcing women, did you not think that your children would be questioned?"


    " Let me ask you one thing, if you were not caught today would you have stopped? Would you have stopped stepping on the head of the innocent people?" -
