The Lin family's mansion is located in the northwest corner of Rongcheng, at the end of a long and bustling street.
The front door of Lin's house is also just across the street. Two stone lions stare angrily, guarding a tall and magnificent wooden door.
On the wooden door, the word "harmony" is embossed on the left side, and the word "xiang" is embossed on the right side.
The wooden door is lined with high blue brick walls and gray tiles. It doesn't look luxurious, but it is solemn and majestic.
At this time, I saw people carrying sedans stopping at the gate of the Lin family, and then leaving again after a while.
Seeing that the loaded sedan chair of the City Lord's Mansion was approaching the Lin Mansion, warriors rushed up and stood on both sides of the gate. One of the warriors hurriedly walked into the Lin Mansion.
After a while, the head of the Lin family and other heads of the family also walked out of the Lin Mansion and greeted the city lord Qin Sheng together.
After the groom stopped the carriage, he placed a stool aside.
Everyone saw the city lord Qin Sheng bowing out of the sedan chair first.
Before all the family heads could pay their respects, another young man in green shirt walked out of the sedan chair.
When the head of the Lin family and the other heads of the family saw clearly the young man's appearance, they all looked at each other, wondering why Fan Yi rode in the same carriage with the city lord.
Fan Zhefu and Fan Zheshan looked at each other and smiled without any surprise at all.
Only then did all the family heads react, and they all bowed to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng waved his hand and said:
"We are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, he approached the head of the Lin family, clasped his fists and said:
"congratulations!"
Qin Sheng waved to Mr. Fu again.
I saw the old man ordered someone to carry out a red wooden box inlaid with gold nails from the sedan chair.
Qin Sheng smiled and said:
"I've prepared a small gift, but please don't take it personally, Master Lin."
Hear the words.
The head of the Lin family bowed hurriedly and replied with a strong smile:
"Thank you City Lord! Please come into the mansion and rest for a while."
Qin Sheng turned to Fan Yi with a smile and said:
"Fan Yi, follow me."
Everyone was surprised again.
Fan Yi curled his lips at his father and followed him.
After walking into the courtyard, Li Bai and the other young men were nowhere to be seen. It turned out that they had gone to Shangguan's house with Lin Xiu to pick up their bride.
At this moment, among all the middle-aged men, Fan Yi is the only one who is young.
He followed Qin Sheng and all the family heads to the reception hall, and sat calmly on a wooden chair with armrests, his eyes clear and unsquinting.
After watching the tea, everyone picked up their tea bowls and started drinking. As long as Qin Sheng didn't speak, no one dared to speak.
The man next to him was sitting on a wooden chair, next to Qin Sheng.
The expression on his face was a little indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be open and closed.
Qin Sheng put down his tea bowl and said slowly:
"Everyone, Rongcheng has been peaceful and peaceful for so many years, and the Yunze Lingkuang Mountains have been mined in an orderly manner."
"It's all because of the unity of all of you that the peace of Rongcheng can be achieved."
After hearing this, all the family heads were sitting upright.
They all knew in their hearts that what Qin Jun said was definitely not a compliment as the literal meaning was.
There must be a deeper meaning, and perhaps there are many more percussive elements.
Sure enough, Qin Sheng said again:
"You must have some doubts as to why Fan Yi is by my side. In fact, on this day of great joy for the Lin family, there is also a happy event in the City Lord's Mansion, which I want to tell you."
Qin Sheng glanced at everyone with a smile, and was very satisfied with the listening attitude of everyone present.
Qin Sheng said:
"Everyone must know that Fan Yi is a kid who is steady and tough-minded."
"Starting from today, I will assign him an errand in the City Lord's Mansion. As for what kind of position it will be, I have discussed it with the governor."
"Young deputy city lord is the most appropriate, what do you think?"
The words just fell.
Everyone in the house was in an uproar, and the tea bowl held by the head of the Lin family also fell to the ground.
Qin Sheng looked at the head of the Lin family with a smile and asked:
"What? Does the head of the Lin family have anything to say? It doesn't matter. We are all old friends here, so we can speak frankly."
The head of the Lin family quickly stood up and bowed to Qin Sheng again.
I saw that the maid had already trotted up to clean up the broken porcelain residue.
The head of the Lin family pretended to be nervous and replied:
"The decision of the city lord and the mansion elder, among us here, who dares to disobey the king's will, just...just..."
Qin Sheng waved his hand, still smiling and asked:
"Master Lin, it's okay to speak out. I just said you can speak out. Why are you so hesitant?"
After hearing this, the head of the Lin family raised his hand again and touched his forehead with his sleeve.
Although there was no sweat on his forehead, such an action could be regarded as a sign of weakness, but the words were different.
The head of the Lin family asked softly tentatively:
"City Lord, I don't think it will be difficult to convince the public to let Fan Yi become the Young Deputy City Lord. Not to mention that Fan Yi is only sixteen years old, and he is only in the third level of Immortal Realm."
"Although as the deputy city lord, I always need to convince people with virtue, but strength is also an extremely important thing to rely on. I'm just afraid of the future..., I'm just afraid of the future..."
Hearing this, the expression on Qin Sheng's face was no longer easy-going, and a hint of gloom gradually emerged.
He shouted softly:
"Master Lin, I have already said before, don't hesitate to say what you have to say. If you do this again, I will slam the table."
The head of the Lin family was frightened and hurriedly spoke:
"I'm afraid that in the future the city lord will travel far away, and the foundation of Rongcheng may be unstable."
Bang!
There was a sound of slapping tables and chairs.
Everyone saw Fan Zheshan standing up suddenly.
Fan Zheshan glared at the head of the Lin family and shouted in a rough voice:
"If my Fan Yi can't sit as the young deputy city lord, then can your Lin Xiu sit here?"
Fan Zheshan is a rough man and has a hot temper.
He slapped and shouted like this, but it made the head of the Lin family so angry that his face turned red and blue.
The head of the Lin family took a deep breath and said calmly:
"The second son of the Fan family, the city lord is asking me to answer questions. Why are you so anxious?"
At this time, Fan Zhefu also stood up and pulled his brother's sleeves.
He shouted softly:
"Second brother, sit down and don't be rude."
Fan Zheshan glared at the head of the Lin family, glanced at the others, and then sat down on his seat again, his chest rising and falling.
Qin Sheng laughed heartily, leaving all the family heads confused and stunned.
Qin Sheng looked at the head of the Lin family and said:
"Master Lin is overly worried. Fan Yi's cultivation realm is indeed only three realms, but I want to tell you something today."
"Not long ago, Fan Yi was able to kill a hundred-year-old one-horned black-scaled python with his martial arts fist."
"Let's talk about it. Can you do it without using all your cultivation skills?"
"Furthermore, Fan Yi has already cultivated in the three realms. If given time, it will not be too difficult to reach the four and five realms. It is a blessing for the people that such a young man is used by Rongcheng."
All the family heads heard that Fan Yi punched to death a hundred-year-old one-horned black-scaled python.
They were already stunned into shock and could not hear clearly what Qin Sheng said next.
That was a century-old hybrid beast.
Even though everyone is a monk in the fifth realm, if they only use physical strength. Let alone killing hybrid beasts, it is normal to fear that they will become food for hybrid beasts.
But these words came from the mouth of a monarch, so it was impossible not to believe them.
In fact, what Qin Sheng was thinking was:
"There is no other way. This is the only thing that can convince such family heads. Even if someone helped you when you killed the black-scaled python, you still killed it with your own hands. It is not an exaggeration to say that."
The head of the Lin family clasped his fists at Qin Sheng, seemingly convinced, and took the initiative to return to his seat and sit down.
Everyone was silent for a long time, not knowing what to think about?
For the time being, no one will stand up to oppose Fan Yi's position as Young Deputy City Lord.
Fan Yi felt like his heart was being suppressed by an invisible mountain.
