"It's like this. I've unintentionally obtained some accounts of the city's governor. I think the governor will need them." Hua Ruge said without wasting any time, he took out the accounts that he had kept in his bosom and handed them over.
When the Governor heard that it was related to the mayor, he immediately grabbed the account book and flipped through it anxiously. When he saw the face of the governor, his face turned dark.
"How preposterous! To think that an official of the imperial government would be so greedy as to go against the law. He is simply looking down on the imperial government." As the Governor said this, he slammed the account book onto the table with an angry look on his face.
Hua Ruge knew that his plan had succeeded, it would be weird if he didn't eat the old turtle to death now.
"Someone, come!" he cried.
The guards at the door were curious. Wasn't he treating the sick? Why did he call them in?
When he entered, he saw the Governor shouting angrily, "Call City Lord Gao over. At the same time, call 500 guards to surround the courtyard."
It wasn't easy for him to get the evidence of the old fox, the City Lord's, and he couldn't let him escape easily.
The guard looked at Hua Ruge suspiciously, feeling that the matter was a little strange.
Hua Ruge smiled at him with good will. How could he not see that he was lying?
Thus, they left doubtfully to call for help.
When the Governor turned to look at Hua Ruge, he smiled and said: "It's really rare for a young man to have such a strong desire to exterminate evil. Sit down."
"Although I am only a weak scholar, my ambition is to return to my country. When I encounter this matter, I naturally cannot sit idly by." Hua Ruge lied.
The governor was pleased with her performance.
When they were seated, the Governor asked, "What is the name of this young man?"
"My name is Chu Yu." Hua Ruge still did not reveal his real name.
She didn't want to put herself in danger.
The Governor nodded his head before asking again, "City Lord Gao is extremely crafty. I'm sure it won't be easy to obtain this."
"It's easy." Hua Ruge laughed and said: "The Governor does not know, but the mayor hid these things in an aunt's room.
The governor knew she was lying, but he had to praise her on the phone.
There was no other way. Who told you not to give evidence that someone was lying?
Hua Ruge knew that was why he dared to spout nonsense. The Governor valued evidence anyways, so he would not be entangled with where this thing came from.
The two chatted for a while before the sound of footsteps came from the door. City Lord Gao walked in with a sullen expression. At this moment, the five hundred soldiers were already in place outside the courtyard.
There were long blades, short swords, and even archers. Soul Master below one star and soul masters did not have the confidence to break through these people.
City Lord Gao only had the strength of a Battle Master, so naturally, it was impossible for him to do the same.
When the Governor saw the City Lord enter, he shouted, "Close the door!"
At this time, there were only three people in the room, Hua Ruge felt that it was strange, why did the Governor keep the guards outside the door, he was not afraid of the City Lord's desperate situation.
If the Governor was powerful, then what was the point of calling the soldiers outside?
While she was still in confusion, the soldier had already closed the door to the main hall, and the room immediately turned dark.
"Why are you here?" City Lord Gao came in and questioned Hua Ruge.
"If I wasn't here, why would the Mayor have been called over?" Hua Ruge didn't conceal his pride in the slightest.
Once, this person had been acting so arrogantly in front of her. Presumably, he wouldn't be able to laugh out loud after a while.
The mayor looked at the governor with a puzzled expression, "I wonder what orders do you have for me?"
The Governor slammed his hand on the account book and asked, "Does the mayor recognize these books?"
City Lord Gao was startled when he saw those books. After a long while, he finally turned his head to look at Hua Ruge and suspiciously asked, "You?"
"If you want people to not know how to do things other than themselves and if you have the time to be shocked, then you might as well think of how to wipe your butt." Hua Ruge said in ridicule.
City Lord Gao was infuriated. Without a second word, he rushed toward the account books and pulled out a book to read.
The more he saw, the uglier his expression became. He glared at Hua Ruge and asked, "How did you get it?"
"I said you're following the wrong direction, right? Shouldn't you be thinking about how to escape now?" Hua Ruge sometimes really felt that he was being magnanimous.
"City Lord Gao, you should explain to me about this matter." The Governor's face did not look too good.
Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows.
However, the city lord bowed to the Governor and said, "This official handled this matter inappropriately, making it difficult for you. In the future, this official will definitely keep this account book."
The Governor's eyes were wide with anger as he said, "Do you know how important this thing is to you? If we were to be exposed, we would all be screwed. Do you think I can make you take it out?"
As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the account books again. Spiritual Energy poured out from his body and directly crushed the account books and the tables, turning them into fragments that filled the sky.
City Lord Gao's Pain Color stared at Hua Ruge hatefully.
This thing was something that he had protected his life with. If the Hua Clan did not protect him in the future, he could take it out to threaten them.
When Hua Ruge saw this scene, he was completely stunned. She had always thought that the Governor and the City Lord were political enemies.
However, he did not expect the two of them to have been putting on an act all this time by pretending to be political enemies. While others might think that they could take advantage of this opportunity, they were actually in the same boat.
The soldiers outside had long since prepared it for her.
Damn two old foxes!

"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so greedy because your daughter likes you. Who the hell are you?" City Lord Gao questioned loudly.
The Governor sat back down and looked at her with the same questioning gaze.
It was indeed a small marten.
"Old Turtle, I've really underestimated you. I didn't expect that not only did you have a turtle, but you also buried yourself in the sand. You really hid your strength quite deeply." Hua Ruge said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Yesterday, she had thought that the mayor had a backer like the Hua family to back him up. Now that she thought about it, she had been too careless at the time.
If the two of them were not working together, it would be impossible for them to pay such a large amount of salary.
She had originally wanted to help Tuoba Rui, but she hadn't thought that not only did the insect not get rid of it, it had actually trapped her inside.
"Brat, don't you dare enrage me. Tell me who are you? You can reduce the amount of pain you suffer." City Lord continued to ask.
He felt that it was impossible if no one was directing him from behind the scenes.
Hua Ruge knew her situation very clearly. Regardless of whether her identity was clear or not, these people would never let her off.
This made her extremely angry.
"Do you really think you're some sort of character? You're nothing more than a cowardly turtle that should be tortured for me. Do you think you're worthy?" Hua Ruge said in disdain, and then took out his own order badge.
She hadn't recovered her strength yet, so she could only choose to leave.
However, the Governor, whose hands had been half-turned, narrowed his eyes. He moved in front of her and grabbed her wrist.
His speed was actually that of a two star Battle Master.
Damn it, if this person used even a little strength, her small body would be finished.
However, he did not do anything. Instead, he took out a rope from the spatial space and tied Hua Ruge's hands together.
Hua Ruge struggled, only to realise that this rope was made from some unknown material, and was actually tighter and tighter.
"All of you are courting death!"
Hua Ruge was so angry that her eyes were red, although she did not have the ability to leave the place alive, but if they were to perish together, she had many methods.
"Young man, don't be so excited. Speak the truth. I promise I'll let you go." The governor spoke in a soothing tone.
Hua Ruge's narrowed eyes burst with killing intent, he coldly looked at him, and said word by word: "I'll give you one more chance, release me right now, or else you won't even have a chance to regret."
City Lord Gao could not bear to watch this, and stepped forward to pinch Hua Ruge's neck, saying in disdain, "You dare to clamor? Do you know that I can strangle you with a little force? "
Hua Ruge closed his eyes.
The two of them thought that she was waiting for death, but in reality, she was indeed concentrating her spiritual power.
"Let's kill her. I can't see how she will do anything even if she were to die." The Governor waved his hand.
If this continued, not only would he not be able to get anything out of it, he might even die from fear. He did not forget how Hua Ruge had angered him earlier.
Her hands began to move.
Hua Ruge's suicide soul technique was brewing, and he swore to make the two of them pay the price.
"Battle King has arrived." Someone suddenly shouted from outside.
