boom!
A tea cup was smashed to the ground by Feng Mingyuan, and the broken porcelain pieces flew away, and some pieces even splashed at Bai Lang's feet.
"Bailang! How dare you act like this in broad daylight when you are just in charge and haven't even sat on your butt yet?! You set up an ambush in the street and killed dozens of people, and then invaded Xicheng Qianfang. After setting a fire, it has not been put out yet. The entire city You can see the thick smoke rising from inside, where do you want to build the city lord’s palace?”
Feng Mingyuan's anger was all over his face. The aura on his body was like a ball of flames, scorching Bai Lang and Lin Yue, who were standing not far away with their hands tied and their heads bowed.
Bailang, as the "trouble maker", was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
"If you reply to your lord, it's a waste of time. Please punish me, lord! But"
"But? Do you still have any excuses?" Feng Mingyuan's tone rose by two points, and his eyes flashed.
"I don't dare to quibble, and I am willing to be punished by the adults, but I am unwilling to accept it, and it is really hard to calm down. Please allow me to speak freely for once!" Bailang said as he bowed his hands and knelt down on one knee. It seemed quite aggrieved and indignant.
Feng Mingyuan nodded after a moment of silence. This was the first time he heard someone from the knife shop below say that he was "feeling sad" and felt curious.
"Tell me, let's see what's difficult for you to deal with."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Bai Lang was already familiar with the art of "groveling" and "speaking freely" in front of Shangfeng. This was a skill that I had to have if I wanted to survive as a social worker, or even survive relatively well. Now that I take it out and use it, it still feels very familiar.
Bailang lowered his head and said angrily: "Sir, the reason why Dongcheng Knife Hall is in this situation is because of successive sneak attacks by foreign enemies, first those indiscriminate "secret guards", and then the members of Yuzhong Knife Hall. Corrosion attack. In the end, Dongcheng Knife Hall survived the attack after paying a huge price, without embarrassing the adults or losing control of the dark corners of Yongchuan City.
This is not considered a credit but also a bit of hard work, right?
But while everyone in the Dongcheng Knife Hall was licking their wounds and making funerals for the brothers who died in the war, the people in the Xicheng Knife Hall kept harassing, occupying, and intercepting and killing. They even tried to seize the land in the Dongcheng Outer Industrial Park, completely ignoring the fact that you designated the Dongcheng Outer Industrial Park as the Dongcheng Knife Hall's territory long ago.
Then he kept provoking people on Chuanzhu Street, killing and injuring many people in our knife shop. That was originally the territory of our Dongcheng Knife Shop!
Sir, facing the aggressiveness of Xicheng Knife Hall, we at Dongcheng Knife Hall have reached the end of our tolerance. Rather than being humiliated and cannibalized by them like this, it would be better to fight to the death together!
To sum up, the consequences of Xiao Xiao leading a crowd to raid the Qianfang of the Xicheng Sword Hall today were the result.
The young man definitely meant to respect the orders of the city lord, but he was unable to calm down. He could only succeed in making a surprise attack during the day when the opponent was caught off guard. If it were at night, it would be difficult to even approach the Xicheng Qianfang.
The little one is finished, please punish me! "
This crackling words really stunned everyone present. Including Lin Yue, who was also lowering his head.
What is a knife shop? In Tang Yan's words, it's a chamber pot! When did chamber pots express dissatisfaction with their circumstances? Even if this dissatisfaction is not directed at the City Lord's Mansion, it has never happened before.
Don't the sword halls have to fight each other to balance the power in their hands, and maintain a tacit and bloody understanding of their own strength at a level that makes the city lord's palace feel relieved during these fights and consumption? Lin Yue even felt that he had been doing this kind of thing all along. Even if I have selfish motives, I won’t change this for a reason that I can’t explain.
But now Lin Yue's pressure suddenly increased. Because according to what Bai Lang said now, their Xicheng Knife Hall was taking advantage of others' danger, and they were still handing knives to the heroes who had just helped the city lord's palace to help Yongchuan City, or worked hard, and it was shameless.
If this is true according to Bai Lang's words, it is indeed correct. Seeing that the anger in Feng Mingyuan's eyes just now has mostly subsided, it can be seen that Feng Mingyuan seems to be following Bailang's tricks.
Originally, even if it is a chamber pot, it is easy to use, or if you pick it up to temporarily block the knife at a critical moment, it is better not to think about it. If you think about it carefully, you will think, "Oh, this thing seems to be quite auspicious. I really didn't expect it at the time." The place helped a lot.” Once you have this idea, the status of Dongcheng Sword Hall where Bai Lang is located will be different. Looking at the current "day killing" trouble, there is a thread that can be solved. It belongs to the donkey who can go down the slope.
"Sir! Bai Lang is talking nonsense! There have always been disputes between swordsmen, how could he give such a ridiculous excuse! My Lord, Bai Lang is covering up the fact that he violated the city lord's order, please tell me clearly!" Lin Yue! I dare not remain silent any longer. Without waiting for Feng Mingyuan to open his mouth to allow him to speak, he directly defended himself.
But Lin Yue's words could not offset the "credit and hard work" Bai Lang mentioned just now. Because that was what actually happened, not what Bailang was bragging about. And Feng Mingyuan really saw all this, and even had to admit that he took advantage of it.
Not to mention the dirty work of those secret guards, but the subsequent raid in Yuzhong was aimed at him, Feng Mingyuan, wasn't it? Although in the end it was the envoy Zeng Xianghong who stepped forward to stop Yuzhong's people, the Dongcheng Sword Hall withstood the greatest pressure. Otherwise, the knife hall was eroded, and even if Zeng Xianghong came forward, half of the power behind Yongchuan City would be eaten away by Yuzhong. If you leave, there will be a major hidden danger in the future.
This situation has never happened before and is the first time.
Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate and impossible to use Lin Yue's "killing routine" to block Bailang's words. It even seems to be a bit unreasonable.
Feng Mingyuan waved his hand to stop Lin Yue's next words. He looked at Bai Lang and said, "Bai Lang, do you feel aggrieved?"
"The little one is not aggrieved. It is his duty to die for the city leader. But the little one is shameless. What Lin Yue's subordinates did is completely worthy of being called a shameless villain. That's why the little one was temporarily dizzy. I acted impulsively. Please punish me!"
Bailang could already feel the change in Feng Mingyuan's tone and knew that his words had worked. But he still didn't dare to relax, and continued to retreat in order to advance. At the same time, he took the opportunity to express his loyalty to Feng Mingyuan in person. "You will die if you die, it is your duty." How could those rough guys at the Ordinary Knife Hall say this? People from the Yamen and the City Lord's Mansion rarely had the opportunity to express themselves like this, so Feng Mingyuan found it fresh and very useful.
The chamber pot can also block knives, and being so loyal and able to talk naturally makes it more advantageous.
"The sword hall doesn't care about the killings, but you, Bailang, who provoked trouble and violated the city lord's order, will have to be punished! You will be fined to pay to rebuild the burnt Qianfang, and the funeral expenses of the people killed will also be paid by your Dongcheng side. In addition, additional compensation will be paid for the lives of the people. Ten gold. Are you convinced?"
"I'm convinced!" Bailang was naturally convinced. Understand that this is the lightest punishment. Just losing a few dollars doesn't even count. Just a formality.
But Lin Yue was unwilling to accept it. He took a step forward and said, "Sir, this."
But Lin Yue's words had barely begun when he was knocked down by Feng Mingyuan's aura, and the bones in his body were crackling under the pressure.
"There are no rules. Do you still have any objections?"
"." Lin Yue was speechless no matter how much he had any objections. In addition to the rage towards Bai Lang, there was also a bit of fear and resentment towards Feng Mingyuan.
