Su Ying asked Bai Shuang to summon Chu Yun. She would let him explain to them.

The general idea was that each district would have an internal governing office. There would be a total of five people in the internal governing office. One of them would be the area chief, who was in charge of the main affairs, while the others were in charge of supporting matters. If there was a criminal case in the district, the area chief had to report the details to the central governing officer before passing judgment on the case.

Chu Yun explained in great detail, and Meng Zi and his group could understand what he was saying. The more they listened, the more they felt that Su Ying genuinely wanted to put things in order in the Tiger Base.

“Because it’s just the beginning, there are still many areas in the rules that need to be patched up. However, everyone might not be able to think of these lapses in a short period of time, so we can only slowly improve the rules. What do all of you think?”

Meng Zi and the others exchanged glances and nodded in satisfaction. “Alright. We’ll do as Madam Su says.”

When he saw that they had agreed, Chu Yun went back to the room to get the contract for them to sign. It basically said that if they did not follow the rules and regulations to operate, the central governing officer had the right to remove them from their posts or even expel them from the Tiger Base.

The three men didn’t hesitate and pressed their fingerprints on the contract straight away.

For the sake of fairness, each district would select its own central governing officer. This way, each district would have its own spokesperson, so there was no need to worry about favoritism.

Meng Zi was even more satisfied with this supplementary condition. Su Ying then had Uncle Hea and the rest cook some good dishes for lunch and she even brought out some wine to treat Meng Zi and his group before sending them off.

Now that the North District had signed the contract, Su Ying’s heart was completely at ease. All she needed to do now was to complete her plan step by step.

Until the beginning of December, the people in the Tiger Base were all busy with their own work. Everything was starting to take shape.

Even the main gate under Qiao Yang’s supervision could be completed today.

Qiao Yang looked at the towering gate and felt proud of himself. If Madam Su saw this, she would definitely praise him for his ability. He had built such a strong gate!

Fortunately, they had enough people. Otherwise, just transporting stones and excavating the rocks would have been enough to make them struggle.

The boundary wall on which the main gate was located was built with mountain rocks, but the main gate was made of solid wood blocks that were interlocked and connected together. The gate panel alone was as thick as an adult’s body. It took several adult men to push the gate open, which showed how heavy the gate was.

Qiao Yang was admiring his masterpiece outside the gate with a smug expression. When he turned his head, he saw a hunched old lady and a skinny woman in ragged clothes but with an exceptionally pretty face walking over. Qiao Yang saw them walking over and stared at them warily. “Who are you? Stop right there.”

The two of them stopped upon hearing his voice and did not dare to go forward. “Sir, we were exiled from the Nan State. We really have nowhere to go. Please take us in.”

Qiao Yang sized them up. In the past, as long as they could afford one tael of silver, he would let them in. However, now, they were going to rebuild the Tiger Base. It was not appropriate to add new people at this time. After all, no one knew who the other party was. If the newcomers caused any trouble, it would be difficult to handle.

“You’re not allowed to enter here. Go elsewhere.”

The woman knelt down before Qiao Yang with red-rimmed eyes. “Sir, please show us some compassion and let us in. I can be your slave, anything.”

Qiao Yang looked at her beautiful face and grinned. She was still so beautiful even though she was in such a sorry state. If she dressed up, she would definitely be a beauty.

Just as Qiao Yang was indulging in his own fantasy, Su Ying’s icy almond-shaped eyes suddenly appeared in his mind. He suddenly shivered. No, no, it was still Madam Su who was the most beautiful!

“No way. You guys leave now. Go toward the back. There are people staying there too.” Qiao Yang turned around and closed the gate after saying this.

As they looked at the towering gate and wall, the woman frowned. She could only stand up and help the old woman walk elsewhere.

After walking far away, the two of them stopped in their tracks. Their faces were no longer filled with despair and sorrow, only an icy sternness.

“They’re all rootless people who were abandoned by the various states, yet they still created such a place. The walls are so high, and the wooden gate is thick enough. How are we going to get in?” The one who spoke was the woman who had begged for help earlier. She looked in the direction of the Tiger Base with narrowed eyes.

The old lady, who was supported by her, had already straightened her back. From her back profile, she was half a head taller than the woman. How could that be an old lady? She was clearly a man.

“The scouts have dug out information that Xiao Jin has been exiled to this area. Master wants us to locate him at all costs.”

“Master is sure that he’s still alive?”

“Mm-hmm. We’ve found the officer who escorted them back then. We’ve confirmed that he’s still alive.”

“Think of a way. No matter what, we have to go in and investigate.”

“Mm-hmm.”

It never occurred to Qiao Yang that he had just stopped the two spies.

After confirming the completion of the gate, he excitedly ran back to the Tiger Base to take a bath. He then changed into a clean set of clothes and ran to the school building that was about to be completed to look for Su Ying. He wanted her to take a look at the main gate that he had built.

However, Su Ying mercilessly rejected his request. The interior of the school building had already been built today, and she was going to put up the enclosing protective wall with everyone to ensure the safety of the students who would come to school in the future.

“Madam Su, are you really not going to take a look?” Qiao Yang did not give up and followed closely behind her.

Su Ying’s footsteps paused slightly, and she stabbed a sharpened log viciously into the ground. After making sure that the log was firmly inserted, she turned back to look at Qiao Yang.

“I’ll go later after I’m done.” She was also curious to see how the main gate turned out. She had been busy and had not had the time to go over and take a look.

When Qiao Yang heard her say that, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Su Ying ruthlessly hammered the entire row of logs into the ground as if she was hammering nails, surrounding the school building with a high protective wall.

After inserting the logs firmly into the ground, she looked at the sky. As she felt that it was about time, she wiped her hands and followed Qiao Yang into the carriage to the head toward the main gate.

In the carriage, Qiao Yang kept prattling about how he built this sturdy main gate.

“Madam Su, you didn’t know. When I went to excavate the rocks, my hand was injured who knows how many times. Look at the wound on my hand. It hasn’t even healed yet.”

Qiao Yang put on a pitiful expression as he extended his hand to Su Ying.

Su Ying reminded him to be careful next time half-heartedly before looking through the curtains at the main gate not far away.

Just as Qiao Yang said, this main gate was really made with care. From afar, the walls and gate towered above all. There were people standing guard at the top of the wall. It was completely different from when they came.

After the horse carriage came to a stop, Su Ying jumped down and walked to the main gate to take a look. She said sincerely, “You’ve done well, kid.”

Qiao Yang was so happy that he almost flew up.

Before he could express his joy, he heard a shout from outside the gate..
