Chapter 74 The Upright Judge
Dou Lianzhong said embarrassedly, “My Lord, since you asked me to sign a loan agreement, I have no objection.”
“Wait!” Governor Mo raised his hand. “It’s not that I asked you to sign a loan agreement. If you owe money to others, you have to pay. Since you have damaged the family heirloom of the Marquis of Honor, you should pay him theoretically. It’s not up to me but yourself whether you sign a loan agreement or not. If you sign an agreement, the case will be closed, and then you just need to discuss the compensation with the family of the Marquis of Honor. If you don’t want to sign an agreement, it doesn’t matter, and I can give today’s file to the Ministry of Penalty and ask them to handle this case.”
“No. I am going to write a loan agreement,” Dou Lianzhong responded in a hurry.
He knew that the six ministries of the country were independent. The Ministry of Penalty and Ministry of Revenue minded their own business. They might cooperate with

A Clash of Gods Chapter 75 Jiangling
Jiangling was in the north of Jingnan, to the east of Chuanshu and to the south of Xianghan. There were a great river and a lake in the area, which were connected to Wuyue. It was an important transport hub between the central area and Lingnan and a place of strategic importance in the southeast. Its local government was in Jingzhou City which was famous throughout the world.At noon, there were sounds of a carriage on the official road in the east of Jingzhou City. A carriage stuttered along the road, and five or six fast horses followed around it.At the moment, the passengers could see Jingzhou City in the distance. Under the blue sky, the city was lying on the vast ground, like a huge ancient beast.After travelling for several days and nights without a stop, Yang Ning and the others finally reached Jiangling.Gu Qinghan was determined to personally come to Jiangling and check the tax revenue, so Yang Ning was naturally worried
A Clash of Gods Chapter 76 Dress up
Gu Qinghan thought Yang Ning spoke like a child, but thinking that he didn’t know about Jiangling, so it was not surprising that he had such doubts.Only the people in this area knew about the Qi family’s influence in Jiangling. The family had a deep foundation here and a member became a hereditary marquis of the country, so its influence in this area became incomparable. Speaking of Jiangling, everybody would think of the Marquis of Honor first.Although the Marquis of Honor didn’t side with others at the imperial court, everybody knew that Jiangling was the Qi family’s hometown. Any official in Jiangling couldn’t stay for long without the support from the Qi family.Although the old house of the Qi family was not in Jingzhou City, the chief steward’s position in Jiangling was inferior to nobody. Even the governor of Jiangling didn’t dare to disrespect him for the sake of the Marquis of Honor. The chief steward was the deputy of the Marquis of
A Clash of Gods Chapter 77 On the Farmland
The village Gu Qinghan mentioned was not big. There were low mountains near the village, with dense camphor trees and oaks, which were essential materials of charcoal. In fact, in the place within a hundred miles, the camphor tree was the most common tree. And the charcoal made of camphor wood produced here was famous all the time. In winter every year, some camphor charcoal would be sent to the capital from Jiangling.At the foot of the mountain, there were dozens of scattered houses. In the distance, it was a large area of farmland. At dusk, Yang Ning still saw some peasants ploughing on the farmland. The crops on the land had been collected, and there was nothing on it. Under the sunset, it looked boundless.“Aunt, it’s late autumn now, and the crops have been collected. Why are they still ploughing?” Yang Ning rode the horse next to Gu Qinghan and asked.Gu Qinghan smiled. “You have never been to the farmland, so you naturally don’t know. A
A Clash of Gods Chapter 78 False Pretenses
Yang Ning and Gu Qinghan walked to the village with their horses and saw a group of people in the front, including men and women, elders and children. There was a number of at least one hundred people. It was noisy as a mess in the village, with chickens and dogs running.The two locked the horses aside and then moved closer to the crowd, to see that all the villagers glared at several people in the front resentfully.The people were different from the villagers at a glance as they wore sportswear which was short and all of them were strong. Five or six burly men gathered behind a middle-aged man dressed in grey sportswear, who had a grey belt around his head and was about forty years old, with muscles on his face. Judging from his ferocious look, anybody knew that he was not a nice person.Behind them were several fast horses. Obviously, they came here on horseback.Yang Ning knew that in this country, the fast horse was rare, and
A Clash of Gods Chapter 79 The Coldness
Many villagers watching around saw what happened and found that the burly man tried to hit Han Yi’s head with the carrying pole from behind. Some people were about to shout, but in the blink of an eye, they saw that a young man rushed over and easily grabbed the carrying pole from the burly man, so they sighed with relief.But they were astonished to see that a young gentleman could snatch a carrying pole from that burly man. Especially the old man who had talked with Yang Ning earlier recognized him at a glance and didn’t expect this guy to be so bold. He opened his mouth wide and looked startled.Gu Qinghan was staring at Steward Luo coldly all the time. Hearing the screams, she finally found that Yang Ning had run to them. Seeing him with that carrying pole in his hand, she was anxious and worried.Although she detested Steward Luo and his people, she was still scared as Yang Ning got involved in the fight. After all, she knew that he was ho
A Clash of Gods Chapter 80 Crawl out
Seeing that Yang Ning fought ruthlessly, Gu Qinghan furrowed her beautiful brows.The Cold Blade was a top-grade weapon which was extremely sharp and wouldn’t be stained with blood. As it was pulled out from the shoulder, it was still clean and smooth. Steward Luo’s voice was hoarse. “Young Master, Grand…pa… Really… It’s really Marquis’ order. We… we just work for him…”Yang Ning was surprised. Under the situation, he believed that Steward Luo was a coward and wouldn’t insist. If somebody else incited this steward, he wouldn’t insist that it was Marquis’ idea.“No matter who ordered you, after you go back, tell the person who sent you here that his good life will come to an end.” Yang Ning put away the Cold Blade and got up slowly, looking at those burly men with his sharp eyes. Although he was shorter than them, he looked cold and showed that nobody could offend him. “Are you going to continue to fight?”In fact the burly men foun
A Clash of Gods Chapter 81 A Beast from the Mountain
Yang Ning was young but experienced. “Most of the time, what you hear is far less than what you can see. What you see might not be true sometimes but is more comprehensive than what you hear. We are in the capital, far away from here, and what we know about the fiefdom is heard from others. Since we are here, what we see is more accurate than what we will hear in the old house.”Gu Qinghan couldn’t help but nod. “Ning, you are right. It’s my negligence. If it weren’t for you, I would be kept in the dark now.” There was anger in her beautiful eyes. “Tomorrow I will ask the chief steward why Jiangling became like this.” Suddenly she thought of something and rolled her eyes. Staring at Yang Ning, with a faint smile, she asked, “Ning, I ask you. Where did you learn your capability?”“What capability?”“Don’t play dumb,” Gu Qinghan stated crossly. “Who taught you the martial arts? Did Duan Canghai and the others teach you in private?”Y
A Clash of Gods Chapter 82 A Black Cloak
In late autumn, the wood was dry and could be burnt easily. In an instant, there was a big fire at the entrance of the cave. Some villagers aside added wood into the pile from time to time, and some people waved their clothes to blow the smoke into the cave, so the dense smoke went in.There was no sound from inside for quite a while, and somebody couldn’t help but ask, “Is the beast suffocated to death inside by the smoke?”“If it is suffocated to death, it will be better, and we don’t need to waste time killing it,” somebody responded.At this time, they heard a strange voice as a black figure came out of the cave at a high speed, like a leopard. The villagers screamed, and Han Yi shouted, “Don’t be panicked. Don’t let it run away.”The black figure jumped over the fire and rushed out. A villager saw it dash to him but didn’t react in time, so he was knocked away and said “Ouch”. Fortunately another villager was well-prepared and
