Three months later.
Crescent City.
Some local officials and gentry gathered at the city lord's palace.
Generally speaking, there is no city lord position in Dacheng.
But Crescent City is different, because the seventh princess is a princess and cannot be given the title of king, so Li Yuanxian replaced the title of king with the title of Lord of Crescent City.
This is the first of its kind in Dacheng, and it shows Li Yuanxian's love for the Seventh Princess.
The current city lord of Crescent City can naturally only be regarded as the acting city lord.
"It is said that the seventh princess is about to arrive in Crescent City." A fat-bellied official couldn't help but said.
Acting City Lord Fan Wenbai fiddled with the lid of the teacup, "This Crescent City originally belonged to her, and she will come sooner or later."
"But, wouldn't it be that all our hard work over the years has been in vain for her?" the official said.
Fan Wenbo glanced at the official and said, "Be careful, she is a princess, how can she speak so lightly?"
The official's face turned red and he said, "Anyway, we are the ones here. I am just unworthy of the city lord. Crescent City, which has been run for so many years, will be handed over to others."
"I think you are afraid that your own interests will be lost." Fan Wenbo glanced at everyone present.
Those people couldn't help but lowered their heads.
Crescent City is located in the southeast of Dacheng, close to the coast.
The surrounding area is a land of plenty, and it can be said that it is much richer than other places in Dacheng.
Here, as an official here, who is not fat and oily?
The wealthy gentry relied on these officials, and all of them made a lot of money.
They have already formed an interest group headed by Fan Wenbai.
But as the Seventh Princess came to take over Crescent City, they also felt a sense of crisis. After all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and what they did was entirely up to them. .z.
When the seventh princess comes, maybe everything will change.
Fan Wenbo put down the tea cup, "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he pays more attention to the seventh princess. Do you think we can drive the seventh princess away, or kill her halfway?"
Everyone present was startled.
It was impossible to drive them away, and even more impossible to kill them, unless they didn't want their heads.
"So, you should go ahead and do whatever you need to do, and be prepared to welcome the Seventh Princess." Fan Wenbo said, "You have gained a lot of benefits over the years, so you should be satisfied!"
"City Lord, under the leadership of the City Lord over the years, we have indeed gained a lot of benefits, but I am afraid that we will not spit it out when the time comes." A wealthy gentleman stood up and said with a careful smile, "The one who is following the Seventh Princess That one is not a good person!"
Everyone also nodded.
"That's right, City Lord, the Seventh Princess has nothing to worry about. She's just an unruly princess. The person next to the Seventh Princess is the key!"
Three months was enough for some news to reach Crescent City.
Therefore, what they are afraid of is not the seventh princess, but Li Qian who is next to the seventh princess!
Fan Wenbo picked up the tea cup again, but made no next move. He just held the tea cup motionless, seemingly lost in thought.
No one else dared to disturb him.
After a long time, Fan Wenbo put the tea cup down again, "Don't worry too much, everyone. Will the Seventh Princess send people to your homes to check one by one? As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face, as long as you show your attitude. Be honest, why would the Seventh Princess embarrass you all?"
What else do those people want to say.
Fan Wenbo waved and interrupted, "Okay, everyone, please go back and get ready to welcome the Seventh Princess!"...
After everyone dispersed.
Fan Wenbo stepped down from the city chair and glanced at the city chair.
"After sitting here for so many years, I feel a little bit reluctant to let go!"
