"Where did the city lord go?"
When Lu Ping walked out of the training room again, he found that he no longer needed to ask questions. The group of people who had previously been eyeing him were all looking at Wei Yang coldly, asking questions that Lu Ping also wanted to know.
Wei Yang was in a panic, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say, and subconsciously looked at Wei Chao beside him. Wei Chao secretly hated him when he saw him like this. He was usually arrogant and domineering, but at critical moments he was so mindless. At this moment, he deeply regretted that he would get into trouble with Wei Yang. Such a guy is really lacking in resources.
But now Wei Chao has no way out. Wei Yang's gaffe makes it impossible to hide the city lord's affairs anymore. He has no idea where Wei Tianqi is and he can't give a reasonable explanation. He can only have a tough attitude and try to use his power to suppress others: "The city lord He is indeed not in the house, and there is no need to explain his whereabouts to any of you."
As soon as these words came out, half of the people hesitated, but those who had long been suspicious of the city lord's inexplicable concern would not be scared away like this. One person stood up from the crowd, looked at Wei Chao and Wei Yang, and spoke in an extremely stern tone. Authentic: "There is no need to give an explanation to us, but one must be given to the country."
"What do you mean, Mr. Ding?" Wei Chao glanced at this man and said coldly, but he was already screaming in his heart.
The person who spoke was Ding Mao, the deputy envoy of the Xiafeng District Ancha Division. The Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is subordinate to the central government, exercises supervisory power over local officials. Although the Xiafeng District is the largest of the Wei family, the Chasi Division is a department directly under the central government and has the power to be independent of the city lord's government. The officials of the Chasi Department are not appointed by the city lord's palace, so even if they find ways to arrange them, there won't be many retainers like Wei Chao and Wei Yang. It can be said that everyone’s starting point and interests are fundamentally different. It's just that under normal circumstances, when acting in accordance with the inspection department, they will be measured and not too ignorant, because they have the power of supervision to point fingers at the city lord's palace who is in charge.
But at this point, Wei Chao felt that the other party would no longer be polite. The city lord went into seclusion, and Cha Si had the strongest opinion. This time, Wei Chao and Wei Yang didn't even bother to invite Cha Si's people. As a result, Cha Si's deputy envoy just got mixed up in the crowd. At this time, Wei Chao suddenly jumped out, with a tough face. But my heart started to feel weak.
"As the city lord of the jurisdiction, how can I leave my post without any reason?" Ding Mao really did not give in. According to the authority of the Inspector, this is a reasonable question.
Of course Wei Chao also knew this, but at this point he could only hold on with all his strength. Facing Ding Maoyi's stern accusations, he continued to use his power to suppress others: "Of course, the city lord has made proper arrangements for the affairs in the house before he left. Don't worry. Lord Ding is worried."
"Oh? I don't know what the arrangement is. Can you tell me to make everyone feel at ease?" Ding Mao refused to give in, and the attitudes of many people immediately changed following him.
"Are the orders issued by the city lord these days all his prior arrangements?"
"If you two adults have the means to contact the city lord, you might as well ask the city lord here in front of all the adults on how to deal with the current situation."
The questions came one after another, but at this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that there was a big enemy on the side. They turned around quickly and saw Lu Ping standing aside and acting well. Seeing that everyone suddenly cared about him again, he raised his hand and waved it, then looked at Wei Chao and said, "Speak!"
"The thief is at hand right now. Can you please sort out the matters at hand before questioning the city lord?" Wei Chao was smart and turned everyone's attention to Lu Ping.
But Lu Ping was not stupid. After hearing so much, he still couldn't figure out a clue. He immediately shook his head and said: "Let's ask clearly first. Is it the city lord's intention to arrest the teachers and students of our Zhaifeng Academy? Or is it yours? mean?"
"This..." Even Wei Chao started to stutter now. If it was the City Lord's intention, these people had just asked him to use his contact information to ask the City Lord about the current situation, but where could he go to contact him? If they say no, does that mean they are using the name of the city lord to cause trouble?
Although Wei Tianqi did leave the affairs of the Xiafeng District to the two of them before leaving, because of the shady name of his trip, he could not keep it public and had to carefully conceal it, so naturally he would not leave any physical evidence. . Wei Chao and Wei Yang have been feeling headaches, but they are worried that one day they will not be able to cover up their headaches. Fortunately, the Wei family's many years of operation in Xiafeng District had left a lot of prestige. Although the Chasi had some complaints about Wei Tianqi's sudden retreat, with Wei Chao and Wei Yang stopping him, it was still within control. But today, when Lu Ping made a breakthrough, he directly named Wei Tianqi. He was able to practice in seclusion, which no one usually dared to enter in a matter of minutes. This was something Wei Chao and Wei Yang never expected.
At this moment, all eyes began to become aggressive. Lu Ping stood on the steps outside the training room, but he had no intention of watching the excitement: "Can you deal with these matters later? Where are we from Zhanfeng Academy?"
"My lords, are you going to let a commoner under Xiafeng's rule break into the city lord's mansion like this?" Wei Chao was still trying hard to divert everyone's attention.
"Why do you want to arrest people from Zhaifeng Academy?"
"Master Ding, I will explain this issue to you later, but now the person who broke into the City Lord's Mansion is right in front of you. I just ask you, what is your stance in the face of such behavior?" Wei Chao is really embarrassed in this situation. Wei Yang was much more useful, and his words really convinced Ding Mao. No matter what, breaking into the city lord's palace like this can be regarded as a serious crime against the empire, and the stance on facing such behavior should always be the same. It really doesn't matter if the city lord is away from the house or something like that. The traitor in front of him should be dealt with immediately.
Lu Ping saw that everyone was paying attention to him again, and instead of retreating or avoiding, he walked down the steps and took a few steps closer to everyone.
"There's no need to talk, so we can only fight?" he asked.
If Wei Tianqi was here, he didn't want to waste time, so he went directly to find the rightful owner. But now that Wei Tianqi is away, the matter can only fall on these people in front of him. Lu Ping's eyes passed through the gazes of Ding Mao and others, and only fell on Wei Chao and Wei Yang. His soul power has begun to operate, but even those in the Xiafeng District who are below the level of three souls can't detect it due to the confinement of the Soul Lock Soul. In their eyes, Lu Ping was almost no threat at all, but what he said seemed to threaten them all.
"Hand the man over," he said.
"Everyone, is Xiafeng District still under the rule of the Xuan Army? In this city lord's palace, whose orders should we listen to?" Wei Chao encouraged loudly, but Lu Ping, who was standing opposite, raised his finger.
A sign.
Using this power in front of these cultivators in Xiafeng District, saying that killing a chicken with a sledgehammer is not enough to describe Lu Ping's luxury.
This blow was invincible to all present, no one could block it, no one could dodge it, and no one could even detect it.
Lu Ping raised his hand. This action didn't seem threatening to them, but when they felt the courageous power shooting out from his fingertips, Wei Chao on the side just widened his eyes, but his mouth didn't open. The voice came out.
"If you want to fight, fight. After the fight, you still have to surrender. If the person is already dead, then you will be in big trouble." Lu Ping stood there, still looking unthreatening, but what he said shocked everyone present. People's scalp feels numb.
