In front of the State Shepherd's Mansion, an old horse dragging a dilapidated carriage slowly approached and finally stopped.
The driver turned his head and shouted:
"Sir, the State Shepherd's Mansion has arrived.
"It's time for you to get out of the car!"
Hearing this, Li Jiyang stretched out his hand to open the curtain, jumped off the carriage, looked around, looked at the Zhou Mu Mansion with the same appearance, but couldn't help but sigh:
"Things and people have changed. This state pastoral residence has not changed at all, but its owner has changed."
Li Jiyang couldn't help but shook his head and whispered to himself:
"Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu, why are you so defeated and useless this time? It's really a waste of my confidence in you. I feel that we will never lose this battle with Ning Lu.
"Who can defeat a god-like figure like you?"
However, this is just Li Jiyang's idea.
The fact is that Zhou Mu was wiped out in one battle and thrown into an unknown hidden corner. There is no doubt whether he can come back in this life.
Li Jiyang rambled:
"You guys, don't you know that if you lose yourself, those of us who follow you and support you will be unlucky in the future? You don't even think about us, alas!"
He sighed deeply, still feeling a little incredible, that was a Tribulation Realm warrior, the pinnacle figure in this world!
He was defeated so cleanly.
"Master!" The coachman was an old man who had followed Li Jiyang for many years. In front of him, he spoke freely and said comfortingly:
"You don't have to worry too much. Didn't the most guilty person just say it? We civil forces will not clean up. Even if we have been close to the state pastoral government before, we will forget the blame and treat everyone equally.
"What such a big man says will never be invalidated."
The driver felt that Li Jiyang was a little unfounded and worried too much.
"You know nothing!"
Li Jiyang shook his head and sighed:
"Of course what the criminal master said is true, but that kind of person will not always pay attention to us small private forces. He is not hostile to us, which does not represent those Ninglu warriors who have become Nanyan City's official forces. Not hostile.”
Having said this, he paused for a moment, worried:
"The King of Hell is easy to mess with, but the kid is difficult to deal with."
Even if the accusation of guilt is suppressed, those people will not do anything to the local forces in Nanyan City on the surface, but they will make them feel uncomfortable if they make some small moves behind the scenes.
The coachman didn't have enough structure to think so much, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it didn't matter. The bachelor said:
"I don't want to stay here, I have my own place to stay. If we really can't stay here, then we will change the site and develop from scratch.
"Anyway, you are not very old. Since you can start the White Crane Chamber of Commerce from scratch, you can also make a comeback in other places!"
He had full confidence in Li Jiyang.
"Oh! What you said is quite simple. I was able to create the White Crane Chamber of Commerce not only with my personal efforts, but also with the help of many people and the right time and place. Otherwise, even with my status, With the cultivation level at that time, it will be extremely difficult to create a power of the same scale."
After saying that, Li Jiyang couldn't help but laugh:
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. First, let's see what attitude these newly-in-power official forces have towards us. If they are really malicious, then even if we are reluctant to let go, we will have to go far away and start a new business.
"After all, no matter how important our foundation is, if someone is hostile, we can't stay here longer. Otherwise, it will be even worse if we capsize in the gutter and be plotted against."
After saying this, he ignored the coachman, walked up the steps, showed his identity, and walked into the State Shepherd's Mansion.
…
After a simple inspection, Li Jiyang walked past the rows of Ninglu Army soldiers wrapped in heavy armor and arrived at the meeting hall of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. After a quick look around, he found that there were still many familiar people here.
He quickly walked over, found a chair and sat down, turned his head to say hello to a friend, and said:
"Brother Zhang, you came early enough."
The Brother Zhang he was talking about was the head of a small family in Nanyan City. He was not tall, but there was a bit of cunning between his eyebrows and his eyes, making him look very wretched.
This guy is used to adapting to the changing circumstances.
"Hey! The new official has invited us to come over to discuss matters. Can you come earlier? Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to remember us and give us little shoes to wear in the future."
The head of the family named Zhang said what was in his heart:
"People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves!"
Li Jiyang felt the same when he said this. In the past, even if he was invited by the state pastor, he would have to put on airs, come when he wanted, and delay the time if he wanted to. At worst, he would be punished by the state pastor.
But he still couldn't figure out the temper of the criminal, so he rushed over as soon as he was summoned.
Moreover, many of them here have more or less the shadow of the former state pastoral government, and most of them have some relationship with the former officials. Now they naturally dare not be presumptuous, and they all keep a low profile and are very honest.
Li Jiyang lowered his voice and asked:
"I don't know, what is the reason why the new official summoned us this time?"
The man named Zhang curled his lips and said:
"What else can be done? It's nothing more than appeasing, suppressing, and warning. It's just this combination of punches, what else can it do?"
Li Jiyang felt slightly relieved after hearing this.
At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded from behind the screen, and then two men walked over from behind.
Li Jiyang looked around, thought about it carefully, and immediately recognized the identity of the leader:
The commander-in-chief of Ninglu Army, Zong Yingyunting, is also the current Xinzhou Mu of Nanyan City, a peak warrior in the extreme realm.
Li Jiyang also knew the person next to him, or was quite familiar with him. Zhang Bolei, the head of the impressive Jingyang family, could be said to be an old acquaintance.
He instantly brainstormed and guessed why Zhang Bolei was so close to Zong Yingyun Tingdong.
In the field.
Zong Yingyunting and Zhang Bolei showed humility to each other and sat on the two seats side by side.
At this time, Zong Yingyun Tingting looked around, and the entire meeting hall became quiet. He calmly spoke and introduced himself:
"In the lower sect, Ying Yunting, under the arrangement of the guilty master, took over the position of Nanyan City's prefect."
Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing:
“I invite you all to come here today. I have no other intention. I just want you to get to know me and let me get acquainted with you.
"After all, we will have to deal with each other many times in Nanyan City from now on."
Sure enough, the representatives of most of the forces present had an idea in their minds. The new official family was indeed here to appease them.
After Zong Yunting finished his polite words, he changed his tone, pointed at Zhang Bolei beside him, and said:
"Your Excellency, the Sinner, admires the Zhang family head very much and decided to make the Zhang family head the governor of Nanyan."
The entire meeting hall suddenly became quiet, and Zong Yingyunting continued to say:
"The Sinner Lord has said that, except for the confidants of the former state pastor who have to be dealt with, all of you here, no matter what you have done before, let it be forgotten. As long as you stay safe, you will still be appreciated by the Sinner Lord and you will still be able to gain power. , status and wealth.”
Everyone really understood now. The reason why Zhang Bolei could serve as the governor of Nanyan was because, firstly, the head of the Jingyang family managed to please the sinner in the first place. The Lord directly expressed his attitude to various forces and gave everyone a reassurance:
He really wouldn't pursue the past of civil forces too much. After all, everyone knew that the Jingyang family was very close to the Prefectural Mufu in the past.
The Jingyang family serves as an example, showing that as long as you are loyal to the sinner, you can also get more benefits in Nanyan City.
This is similar to buying horse bones for thousands of dollars.
At this time, most representatives of the forces were no longer anxious and felt that there was no need to run away immediately. They felt that they could continue to stay in Nanyan City.
