Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 834: Snack Street

Chapter 834: Snack Street

It was over, Lai Baihu had turned into a waste. Now even if he wanted to climb high, he would not be allowed to as eunuchs were not allowed to take higher positions other than in the imperial palace!

The people who were bullied by Lai Baihu were so happy that they burst into tears. This man had caused them so much pain but now he was finally suffering with his position and manhood lost, let's see how he would find trouble with them!

Su Wan did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for someone like Lai Baihu. She looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y mess that was left behind as Lai Baihu was taken out of the small room where he was turned into a eunuch and frowned before saying, " Take him to his home and bring a physician to him.

Letting him keep his life, is the last bit of mercy I will show him but in case he dares to have any other ideas then he can forget about living as well."

Lai Baihu was the typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The second he saw the sword fall he fainted only to wake up because of the pain but he pa.s.sed out again as the pain was too much.

Su Wan did not let him become a laughing stock for long, she waved her hand and asked the guards to take him away while asking the workers to clean the blood. It was too unlucky, on the first day of her work, she had to spill blood. But Su Wan did not regret it, after all, this was something that needed to be done.

She climbed up the stairs of the county magistrate but then she walked past Qi Zhen who looked at her with a glint in his eyes. Even though he did not say anything, Su Wan knew that this matter was not over.

However, she was not worried. She would deal with the obstacles one by one as they came towards her.

Once they stepped out of the county magistrate's office, Su Wan asked Yan Zhao to bring the reports about the lands in the Big Ocean City and was not surprised to find that most of the pieces of land were in strict control of the Lai family.

Su Wan frowned. All the pieces of land were purchased by the Lai family even if she were to look at the other land areas, they were not fertile and were actually third-grade. If she were to turn these lands into a fertile piece of land, then she would have to put in a lot of effort.

" The Lai family has really not left even a bit of soup for the commoners to drink, it's as if they had priority to purchase these lands," she sneered causing many officials to lower their heads as she looked at them. They all knew what kind of dirty deals went behind the back, the Lai family did not have any sort of priority.

But the officials were bought over by a little money even if the commoners were the first ones to pay the token, they would transfer the deed to the Lai family and then tell the commoners that they were a step too late. Even if the commoners knew that there was something wrong, what could they do to them?

However now Su Wan was sitting in front of them with a cold face asking for an explanation and they did not know what to say.

"It's all right if they bought the land but there is a really messy record of the taxes paid by them," Lin Rui chimed in as he placed the doc.u.ments in front of Su Wan. " Though the doc.u.ments show that the taxes have been paid if they were paid then the condition of this city would not be like this."

Su Wan glanced at the doc.u.ments and then looked at the officials before saying coldly, " Fix them."

The officials immediately took away the doc.u.ments in a hurry, they did not dare to go against Su Wan at the moment.

Once they were gone, Su Wan sighed and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between her brows before turning to look at Yan Zhao and asking, " Did you find a place for me to start working?"

Yan Zhao nodded. After getting Su Wan's orders he rushed to the city to look for a suitable place and finally found a decent street for the aquarium as well as the snack street.

" There is a commercial street that is rather desolate as it's located far from the Main Street, though it's said to be a commercial street, hardly any transactions or business take place there."

" What about the land?" Su Wan asked as she thought about the plants that she had carried down from the mountains.

" There are many wastelands outside the city but they naturally can't compare to the fertile land that is under the Lai family," replied Yan Zhao politely.

Su Wan sighed, the pieces of land in the cities were not good, so she could only take a look at these wastelands.

She sighed and then stood up from the chair. For the time being, let's put the matter of farming on hold and start with Snack Street as long as Snack Street starts generating some revenue they will be able to get on a stable track.

"Let's go, Lord Yan," Su Wan said to the man next to her. " Show me the street that you are talking about. If it's good then I will buy it and you can use the money to stabilize the families of those who died in the winter."

The county magistrate's office looked grand but under the lack of tax payment, it was completely empty. Forget about paying the families of those who died, they did not even have enough money to hold the funeral of those who died! Even a coffin cannot be purchased with the funds that were left in the locker of the county magistrate.
