Chapter 943: Canonization

Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, tens of thousands of fanatical Divine Nation people had already crowded the streets.

Old Man Mu floated in mid-air, staring intently, the solemn and majestic City Lord's Mansion in the past seemed so fragile and vulnerable in this crowded frenzy.

The reaction within the City Lord's Mansion was strange, and instead of organizing any effective resistance, there was a strange silence.

The door to the City Lord's Mansion was pushed open from the inside.

The moment the door opened, the crowd on the street paused for a moment, and everyone stared intently at the door.

Normally, even stopping in front of this gate would be driven away by the guards, treated as a wrongdoer, and brought to justice, but today, so many people gathered together, and they flaunted their might in front of the city lord's mansion, which in itself was a kind of act of trampling authority under their feet, and there was an inexplicable sense of coolness.

Walking out of the gate was a young man, and when he saw him, most of the people present were stunned.

Because the person who came out of the city lord's mansion turned out to be the hero Lu, the one who was still fighting side by side with Old Man Mu just now, he and Old Man Mu can be said to be the psychological dependence of this team of people, and it is precisely because of these big masters that the people have the courage to make more and more trouble.

"The City Lord Seal is here! The City Lord has agreed to give way to the position of the Red Willow City Lord to Mr. Mu Nanmu!" Lu Menglu shouted loudly, his left hand was raised high, and there was something in his palm, shining silver, it was the City Lord Great Seal.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, whether it was Old Man Mu, Nanfeng Tian and Wudang, including the people of the Divine Nation on the street, they were all stunned, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all.

How did the Great Seal of the City Lord fall into the hands of the hero Lu, and when did he sneak into the City Lord's Mansion?

I have heard that the masters in the city lord's mansion are like clouds, and the city guards are good at fighting, everyone thinks that there may be a life-and-death battle next, how do you know that it is so easy to get the city lord's seal, it is really incredible to the extreme.

"The previous city lord Lord Liu also said that the soldiers and civilians of Hongliu City have been oppressed by the four major families for many years, and it is too bitter, and he is willing to take out a little savings from the city lord's mansion and make the people rich. In the future, Red Willow City will look at Old Man Mu!"

With that, Lu Menglan waved his big hand, and dozens of city guards rushed out from behind him, each holding a large box in his hand, and placed it at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

These large boxes were opened on the spot, and they were full of jade yuan and treasures, golden and bright, so not eye-catching.

The old man Mu Nanmu held back the doubts in his heart, took a deep breath, first glanced at Lu Menglan with his eyes, and then said loudly: "The old man has no talent and no virtue, and he is not worthy of the position of the lord of Red Willow City, so let's all be smart!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Xiaoxing was mixed in the crowd, and he was the first to open his throat and shouted: "Old Man Mu is the city lord, for the sake of the people, we are the first to support it!"

"That's right, Master Mu is the city lord, so we can have a good life!" Wudang also shouted in the crowd.

The people of the Mu clan, the people of the Hu family, the people of the Nan clan, the people of the Beigong family, more and more people are shouting in unison, hoping that Old Man Mu can take over the position of city lord.

This riot involved a large number of people, almost all the people of Hongliu City participated, but the essence of this action was extremely restrained, in the final analysis, although there were many people, but in this crowd, there was still the shadow of the family behind the manipulation.

Among them, there are many wise people, and they know very well that if Red Willow City continues to make trouble, especially after overthrowing the City Lord's Mansion, it will probably face a catastrophe.

Because Red Willow City is just a border city among the Divine Nation, there are hundreds of cities like this on the Divine Continent, and above Red Willow City, there are four major Divine Cities, among those Divine Cities, there are real nobles, and there are millions of Divine Clan troops, that kind of power is not something that Red Willow City can resist at all.

Therefore, the so-called overthrow of the exploiters in Red Willow City is only limited to the four major families, and if they move upward, they will face the extermination of the Divine City army, and such a result is something that everyone, whether it is a family or a common person, does not want to see.

However, if Old Man Mu becomes the city lord, it will be a different situation.

At least nominally, the riot became controllable, and it was also in the interests of the great nobles of the Divine City.

It's just that everyone doesn't know how Lu Menglu persuaded the former city lord to hand over the city lord's seal to him, and named Old Man Mu as the new city lord.

Under normal circumstances, the Great Seal of the City Lord would be placed in the City Lord's personal space, as long as he was unwilling, even if he killed him, others would not be able to get it.

And if this riot really kills the city lord, the system of the Divine City will be challenged, and the faces of those big nobles will also be beaten, and they will definitely not let go of everyone in Red Willow City.

In fact, by the time of this so-called riot, many people have secretly retreated, and those who refuse to leave are just because they have not reaped the benefits, and those who have reaped the benefits still want to make a little more.

If there is no secret support from those family forces in the city, how can the real people at the bottom have such courage to go all the way to the dark.

Now the city lord has taken a step forward and let the old man take over the position of the city lord, whether the other party is sincere or false, whether it is a temporary expedient measure, in short, even if this matter is suppressed, as for whether there will be people in the future to replace the old man Mu, that is a later story.

In the eyes of many people, the City Lord's Mansion has played quite beautifully, putting Old Man Mu on the throne, and if this riot is investigated in the future, there will be people who will top the tank.

What's more, the city lord's mansion also took out such a large batch of treasures and equipment to divide up among the people, making it clear that they wanted to calm things down and turn big things into small ones.

In this way, this riot movement, which almost caused the subversion of the inherent class of the God Nation, evolved into a power struggle for the position of the city lord of the Mu clan, and the nature was completely different.

Old Man Mu also knew that such a result was actually the best.

It's not that they are greedy for power, but that the power of Red Willow City alone is far from enough to overthrow the class solidification of the God Nation, those family forces are too huge, if they sense the crisis, they will extinguish all the sparks in Red Willow City as soon as possible.

Only by preserving the spark of thought and slowly enlightening the wisdom of the people can we have the opportunity to develop and grow and fight with the family forces to the end!

Unconsciously, Old Man Mu really took some substitution into the role he played, and he began to think about the people behind him, thinking about their joys and sorrows, thinking about their hard work all their lives, but they were completely exploited by the family and the Divine Dynasty.

I'm afraid that even Lu Menglan, the initiator of this movement, didn't expect that he would inadvertently create, or rather open up the wisdom of a great thinker of the Divine Nation.

When Old Man Mu jumped out of himself for the first time, jumped out of the family's circle and vision, and considered the civilization and existence of a race from an unprecedented height, he had a completely different idea from before.

The words that popped out of the mouth of the hero Lu, what class, exploitation, democracy, freedom, seemed to open a whole new world for him.

Old Man Mu even began to be full of interest in the world where the hero Lu lived, the so-called Nether Terran, and he faintly felt that the Nether Terran might not be the rumored low-level world, and in the hometown of the Hero Lu, there might be a higher level of civilization light.

However, all of this will not be qualified to be considered until you have stronger power, higher power, and greater discourse. Old Man Mu didn't want to die more and more, he wanted to see that whole new world behind someone.

"Promise them that they will take over the position of lord first, and then do as I say. Just when Old Man Mu was excited and hesitant, there was a voice from someone Lu in his ears.

Old Man Mu's shoulders shook slightly, he raised his head, his eyes returned to clarity, and he laughed: "Since everyone loves Lao Yu so much, then Lao Yu will not let him go, and be the Lord of Red Willow City for him!"

As he spoke, Lu Menglan had already taken the Great Seal of the City Lord and handed it over to Old Man Mu.

Seeing Old Man Mu take over the Great Seal of the City Lord, the surrounding people suddenly burst into applause.

If nothing else, just for this old man Mu to vent with us poor mud legs today, and robbed a lot of benefits, he is much better than those high-ranking city lords and family adults!

Old Man Mu rose from the ground again and flew into the air.

"Everyone, listen to the old man!" Old Man Mu's voice was like a loud voice, urging the voice with magic power, resounding throughout the city.

The crowd below gradually fell silent, and everyone looked up at the new old city lord in the sky.

"Since the old man has decided to take the position of the city lord, he can't eat the corpse and not make decisions for the people! Therefore, the old man has three decrees to announce. This first article, since the old man took office, all taxes in Hongliu City, no matter which line of work or industry, will be halved! As long as the old man still serves as the lord of the city for one day, this decree will be implemented for one day!"

As soon as these words came out, the people below were stunned for a moment, and then a deafening cheer sounded, and the whole city was boiling!

The children of those families thought that Old Man Mu was ordered to be in danger, and it was impossible for any decent decree to be launched, but how did they know that this first decree was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and hit the hearts of the people in the city just right.

You must know that the taxes in Hongliu City are heavy, especially for ordinary people, after a hunt of birth and death, two-three out of ten of the prey harvested must pay taxes, otherwise, it will be difficult for the prey to be transported into the city, let alone traded in the market, which must be taxed.

Now, the old man Mu has taken office, and this first decree is to halve the tax, which is equivalent to doubling all the property of the people in the city.

"The second decree, from now on, Hongliu City will open a three-career equipment leasing platform, and the major families in the city will report the idle weapons and equipment in the warehouse to the platform to establish the Hongliu City arsenal, and the people in the city can exchange high-end equipment from the family warehouse for hunting by paying a deposit for rent. ”

As soon as Old Man Mu said this, the people below all fell into silence, and they couldn't understand for a moment what this rental platform meant.

However, soon a smart person understood the meaning of Old Man Mu's decree, and shouted excitedly on the spot.

"The city lord is mighty! This is the equipment that the city lord has compassion for the people and wants to save our lives!" Finally, someone shouted that the heavens were broken, and the people below were excited, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

From today on, the poor gods no longer have to play with the dark monsters with their bare hands, and the major families will open up the warehouse resources, and the common people can use the mortgage to rent high-quality weapons and equipment from the official family to hunt, this measure will greatly reduce the casualty rate of ordinary gods and people, and the major families may not object, because they can also revitalize the inventory and equipment in the warehouse and turn it into profit.

"This third decree, led by the city lord's mansion, will use the proceeds of this new leased platform to pay for the unfortunate death of the clansmen, take care of orphans and widows, so that the clansmen involved in hunting have no worries. In the future, when the income increases, an academy will be established in the city, so that the next generation of Red Willow City can be taught cultivation skills and tactics as soon as possible and become stronger!"

As soon as Old Man Mu said this, the crowd below was quiet, because everyone couldn't help but be in awe of this new city lord who had the whole city in mind.

If the lord of the city is like this, what more can the husband ask for?

As soon as these three decrees debuted, Old Man Mu should be the fastest one to be recognized by the military and civilians of the whole city among the previous city lords of Red Willow City.
