Hua Ruge cast a glance at him and said: "You think so?"
"You can't dispel our suspicions." The messenger spoke even louder, wanting to shock Hua Ruge. As long as Hua Ruge was flustered, with his many years of experience, he could definitely dig something out.
"Then think about it, I don't care." Hua Ruge said casually.
He never thought that Hua Ruge would actually have such a reaction. Even if it wasn't, he should at least defend himself for a bit.
However, he did not give up so easily. He said, "If you do not refute me, do you admit that you were the one who instigated the death of Tax Officer?"
"Do I look like someone who can be easily bullied?" Hua Ruge slowly stood up and walked to his side.
The messenger also rose to his feet and took a step back. "I am here on the orders of the emperor to investigate this case. Don't be reckless."
Hua Ruge's impulses and her fame had always been well-known by the people, so he was very afraid of her. However, he didn't represent an individual, but represented the Emperor, which was why he was more confident.
"There are many people in the capital who aren't afraid of death." Hua Ruge no longer approached him, but asked slowly: "Say what you had just said again, I guarantee that you will regret ever being born into this world."
"Lord, I am only doing business." The waiter took another step back.
Hua Ruge smiled and nodded: "Good job."
After saying that, she raised her head and a mocking light flashed in her eyes. She gently waved her hand and said, "Someone, take him down."
Two guards walked in from outside the door and immediately restrained the waiter.
"Hua Ruge, I was sent by the Emperor. What do you want?" The messenger was flustered.
"Even if you were sent by the Emperor, this is still my territory. I'll give you face, but since you don't want it, don't blame me for not being gentle." Hua Ruge's tone of voice was still very friendly, but the words that came out of his mouth sent chills down one's spine.
"How dare you?" the envoy clamored.
"Lord Messenger will be staying in the Ancient Dragon City for three days. Originally, I wanted to properly entertain you, but now, I just need another method."
Hua Ruge took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and threw it to the soldier, "Take good care of this lord for these next three days, leave your life and feed him one pill when you release him."
He was still shouting in the courtyard, "Hua Ruge, since you dare to do this, the emperor will definitely not let you off!"
As his voice grew further and further away, Hua Ruge pursed her lips and said, "You've tried to harm me a few times, so it's not certain who won't let you off."
He gritted his teeth as he thought about how Hua Ruge dared to treat him in such a manner. Once the emperor sees his wounds, regardless of whether or not Hua Ruge had found out about killing the Tax Officer, just this beating up of the servant would be enough to punish him.
The soldiers were not serious, after three days, the waiter was already at his last breath, the soldiers fed him Hua Ruge's pills, and they saw that all the wounds on his body had fully healed without a trace.
However, his internal injuries had not yet healed, so the messenger was still in great pain. However, there were no clues on the surface, so if he wanted to complain, there was no more evidence.
In the end, the messenger's face was covered in tears, as if he had given up all hope.
Hua Ruge wanted this effect. These people clearly knew that she did it, but there was no evidence. They could only grit their teeth and swallow it down.
In the end, the messenger was taken back by his men. He didn't even need to investigate the case and directly returned to the capital.
Because the Emperor told him to investigate Hua Ruge's background, and now that there was no way to achieve it, he could only return.
Hua Ruge looked down on these people and continued his development.
The good news that came up recently was that the Dwarves had agreed to open a shop in Ancient Dragon City, and since they were very friendly with Hua Ruge, when Hua Ruge brought up the matter of forging armor, the Dwarves had immediately agreed to it.
Because they trained to forge iron, allowing them to work was also a form of cultivation.
So when Hua Ruge invested his money, the dwarves had all sorts of rare materials that they could directly forge.
Hua Ruge decided to be magnanimous, and spent all his money, hoping for a high-quality armor.
Dwarves loved to forge, so with the many materials in the mine, forging armor was not a problem. Other than spending money, Hua Ruge did not have to worry about anything else.
The barbarian armors were next, because they had strong mobility after having a unicorn, and because of their high defensive capabilities, they didn't need heavy armors. They only used light leather armour.
The leather armour was made from the skin of Xuan Beasts. Its defensive capabilities were not bad, and it was light and simple. It could not be better for barbarians.
And this was not given to the dwarves, but to the delicately crafted Wingman.
The Wingman was extremely friendly to Hua Ruge, because Hua Ruge had given them the order of equals. This allowed them to not have to be afraid of their own clan members being captured, and to be able to do business in the city.
The moment Hua Ruge said this, the Wingman s all agreed.
The development of the Ancient Dragon City was extremely fast, making the surrounding cities very envious. However, every time they saw the robust soldiers and the majestic barbarian cavalry, they would not dare to have any ideas about this place.
Hua Ruge's influence gradually increased, and many of the surrounding city lords came to fawn over him.
Hua Ruge accepted the gifts one by one, calling everyone his brother.
It was like this in the government. If you met someone, you would be their blood brother. If you were in trouble, you would be the one to stab them.
Hua Ruge was well aware of the principles behind it, so he only made friends with wine and meat, and ignored everything else.
On her side, the more development there was, the better. With more money, the Emperor's side would become even more infuriated.
Ever since the messenger told him about Hua Ruge's arrogant attitude, he wanted to kill Hua Ruge no matter what. However, he was afraid that Tuoba Rui wouldn't dare to do it, and could only do it from the side.
The surrounding people began to come up with ideas, and when the last method was mentioned, the Emperor finally revealed a smile of satisfaction.
Thus, two months later, Hua Ruge received a letter from the capital. Inside the letter, it contained an invitation for the Emperor's birthday, and he would definitely return.
After Hua Ruge received the letter, he was puzzled. The Emperor's birthday was a big matter, but it was not a time for a small Baron like her to return to the capital to celebrate.
Everyone knew what the Emperor's intention was.
When Hua Ruge was in his territory, he was far away from the emperor, so he could not be disciplined. If he could return to the capital and tell the emperor that his orders were wrong, and collect his taxes again, then Hua Ruge would definitely not dare to say anything.

When the Emperor sends the Tax Officer back with her, Hua Ruge would not dare to take action immediately. Then, the Emperor's goal would be achieved.
"Old thing, you have to put in a lot of effort." Hua Ruge immediately placed the invitation on the table, his eyes flashing coldly.
Since they were going to meet, they might as well meet. She wanted to see who would have the last laugh.
