Chapter 91
In Guangling County Mansion, as soon as Yan Baihu led his troops out of the city, Li received the news.

She knew that once Yan Baihu left, it would be difficult to come back.

Even if Liu Xuan was lucky enough to be killed, Yan Baihu would not be able to escape.

However, it was enough to avenge his favorite son.

Li immediately brought her personal maids and bodyguards to the governor's treasury.

In the name of Yan Baihu, he moved several boxes of money and jewelry and prepared to escape from the city.

Several people had just carried the boxes out of the treasury.

One of Yan Baihu's confidants ran over in a hurry and cried out,
"Madam, eldest brother, eldest brother died in the battle."

Li Shi trembled when she heard this, but she didn't feel the same grief as when she heard the news of Yan Xing's death.

"I know, let's go out of the city." Mrs. Li urged her servants to leave quickly with an indifferent expression.

"Where are you going, madam?" Yan Baihu's men asked.

"When we leave the city, the white tiger is already dead. How can there be room for me in Guangling?"

After that, he went out under the surprised and angry eyes of Yan Baihu's men.

However, Li and his party were stopped by a group of people just after taking a few steps out of the treasury.

The leader is Su Wang, the head of the Su family, the third largest family in Guangling City.

The Su family controls most of the casinos, brothels and pawn shops in Guangling County.
When Yan Baihu captured Guangling, the first aristocratic family to take the initiative to make friends was the Su family.

The Su family also received support from Yan Baihu, and the family business expanded exponentially in a few years.

Now that Yan Baihu is dead, the Su family is still the first to come after Yan Baihu's family.

"Yan Baihu is dead. Capture this old woman and make a surrender warrant." Su Wang looked at Li coldly and said.

Mrs. Li suddenly panicked. Looking at the Su family servants approaching with knives, she remembered that there were Yan Baihu's henchmen behind her.

Then he turned back and begged the subordinate,

"Brother, I am Bai Hu's biological mother. Can you help me stop these traitors and escort me out of the city?"

The subordinate glanced at Mr. Li with contempt, but did not step forward. Instead, he turned around and entered the treasury and closed the door.

"White-eyed wolf!" Mrs. Li cursed, turned to Su Wang and the group of people and cursed,

"Su Wang, you are also a white-eyed wolf. If my white tiger hadn't protected you all these years, would the Su family have developed so fast in Guangling?"

"Let me tell you, although my White Tiger is dead, there are still thousands of brothers in the city. If you dare to touch me, I will let them kill everyone in your Su family."

Mrs. Li put her hands on her hips and directed several attendants:
"You guys, hurry up and drive them away. If it's too late, you won't be able to get out of the city."

However, what disappointed Li was that the attendants who usually obeyed his advice and were beaten and scolded were indifferent at this moment.

Mrs. Li has never been so angry before, she opened her mouth to curse.

But he saw Su Wang taking the knife from the servant's hand, rushing forward with one lunge and stabbing Li through with his knife.

"It's so fucking noisy!"

Su Wang spat on the ground and ordered to the servants,

"Take him away and go to the city gate to meet the new governor."

The Tiger Battalion controlled the city gates and streets.
Liu Xuan just led the army into the city.

Beside the street, many people from Guangling City lined the street to welcome him.

After all, Liu Xuan is a descendant of the Han Dynasty. After the king of Huaiyang, the people found it novel and wanted to see the descendants of the royal family.

It's just that among the big families in Guangling City, only the Su family came to greet them.Su Wang led a group of servants to carry Li's body, walked to Liu Xuanma and said with a flattering smile,
"Su Wang of the Su family in Guangling respectfully welcomes Commander Liu to take charge of Guangling."

After saying that, he pointed to the corpse next to him.

"This person is the mother of the traitor Yan Baihu. When the city gate fell, she tried to escape with the money. I killed her and presented it to Governor Liu."

Liu Xuan glanced at Li's body. Although he didn't agree with Su Wang's approach, it was the Su family's way of showing their loyalty and he couldn't refuse, so he replied,
"The Su family is interested, I will note it down and bury this person."

Looking around, Liu Xuan didn't find any other big families coming to greet him, so he went straight into the governor's mansion.

Two days later, Jia Xu came to the county governor's house to meet Liu Xuan.
There was rarely a smile on his face.

"Lord, the defense of Guangling City has been arranged. There are still 4000 soldiers in the city, and the rest have escaped. According to Jiangsu, most of the people who escaped are Yan Baihu's subordinates when he was a bandit."

"What does the lord plan to do with these four thousand surrendered soldiers?"

"Since they did not escape, they are probably soldiers recruited later, or those who really want to join me. These are experienced veterans, so just keep them." Liu Xuan thought for a while and said.

"Looking at Wenhe's face, he looks relieved, but what trouble has he encountered?" Liu Xuan asked.

"It's not difficult at all, it's just that some things are unexpected and some things don't go well."

Liu Xuan smiled coldly, "But the aristocratic families in the city are obstructing it?"

"Exactly," Jia Xu nodded, "There are many aristocratic families in Guangling City, but when we entered the city the day before yesterday, only the Su family came to greet us."

"And this Su family only manages some low-level industries, so it means that none of the aristocratic families who truly control the entire city's industries have come."

"Yesterday, I sent officers from the county magistrate's office to collect the tax payment information from the major families, but all of them were rejected. It seems that the major families in Guangling City have united to give us some authority."

"Haha, I discovered it when I entered the city the day before yesterday." Liu Xuan smiled, "Are you showing off? I'll take it."

"I wonder if they can handle it when I show off my power?" Liu Xuan said to Jia Xu,
"You should manage the public security in the city first. I want to see what kind of trouble these aristocratic families can cause."

[Notepad opens.]

[In 198 AD, Guangling County, you defeated Yan Baihu and entered Guangling City. The big families in the city, led by the Chen family, Zhang family, Fan family, and Lu family, united to resist your rule.These families controlled Guangling County’s water transportation, land transportation channels, and the trade of important materials such as salt, iron, and grain.Wanting to blackmail you into giving up your power, you decided to thwart their plot. 】

[Trigger Challenge Mission: Centralization]

[Mission details: Frustrate the decentralization conspiracy of the big families in Guangling City]

[Task reward: entry*2]

So it turned out that Liu Xuan looked at the words in the notepad and knew the reason.

In the dignified Guangling County, all the profitable businesses are in the hands of the big families in the city. Yan Baihu, the county governor, has almost no other interests except the military power.

No wonder Yan Baihu was able to secure the position of governor of Guangling County with his background as a bandit.

It's nothing more than exchanging these preferential terms with these wealthy families.

Now that Yan Baihu is dead and Liu Xuan takes over Guangling County, as usual, these businesses that should have been government-run will naturally have to be taken back.

This touched the interests of the aristocratic families, so they united to give Liu Xuan a decisive blow.

The reason is just to have capital to negotiate with Liu Xuan later.

If other people took over Guangling, these people might not dare to be so arrogant.

But Liu Xuan is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the Queen of Huaiyang. Everyone in Jianghuai knows this.

They were aware of this and were sure that Liu Xuan would not dare to directly use the army to clean up.

Liu Xuan smiled lightly, "Do I care about this?"
