Chapter 214: Protest
As the discussion became louder and louder, soon, the city lord who was still in a sweet dream was awakened by the subordinates who came in a hurry.
"Report to the city lord, Lord Li and Lord Luo are here. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It seems to be the postponement of the Eighth Academy. ”
"The postponement of the Eighth Academy's martial arts?" Zhou Lin was a little confused.
"Why did they postpone the Eighth Academy?"
"It seems like you've decided!"
"My decision?" Zhou Lin looked at him.
"Early this morning, there are notices issued by the City Lord's Mansion posted all over the city, saying that the Eighth Academy's meeting has been postponed for ten days, and your seal is still printed on it?"
"What? When did I ever make such an announcement? ”
"This villain doesn't know, you better go out and have a look!"
Zhou Lin hurriedly got dressed, and when he came to the hall and found a room full of people, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"City Lord, the Eighth Academy Martial Arts was held in advance in order to make more adequate preparations for the complete summit, but you are good, just when the finals came, the Eighth Academy Martial Arts was postponed. ”
"Our Ye family has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources for this competition, and finally my son broke into the finals, but the competition was suddenly postponed, you must give me an explanation. ”
......
Facing everyone's doubts and questions, Zhou Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I didn't make any announcement on the postponement of the Eighth Academy's martial arts, I just learned about this matter, and it must have been done on purpose." ”
"The notice on it is stamped with your seal, and I have specially asked someone to identify it, it is genuine, is this still fake?"
Hearing this, the city lord frowned slightly: "Have you really been to appraisal?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
At this time, Zhou Lin realized something.
"Could it be that someone took my seal and did it without permission?"
Zhou Lin turned to the other person on the side and said, "Go and get my seal." ”
Soon, the seal of the lord of the castle was taken.
Zhou Lin gently touched the bottom of the seal with his hand and found that it was still wet, and now he was completely sure that someone had stolen his seal, because the last time he used the seal was last month.
"Who is so bold as to dare to steal my seal!"
Zhou Lin was furious, he felt that the majesty of the city lord was being defied. Of course, it's important to find the person behind the scenes, but now there is an even more important thing to do, and that is to make another announcement. The meeting of the Eighth Academy was held as scheduled.
When the new notice overwrites the old one, there is another commotion in Lonely Paradise, so the matter of stealing the seal intensifies, everyone feels that they have been teased, everyone hates the person who stole the seal, and even some people spontaneously unite and search the whole place.
Due to the timely change of the notice, the Eight Academies will still be held on time, just wait and see, the two contestants did not appear, even the clansmen of the two families did not appear, according to the regulations, absence means giving up, but the two are absent at the same time, then this competition will end in vain.
Obviously, the city lord would not let such a thing happen, he immediately ordered someone to go to the Li family and the Ye family to inquire about the matter, and after a while, there was a result, the two contestants were suddenly poisoned, fell into a coma, and could not participate in the competition, and the poison in the two was the secret recipe in the city lord's mansion.
For a while, Zhou Lin was pushed to the forefront again, and it was already a big drama to be stolen from the seal before, and now it is because of ......
As the lord of the city, he naturally cannot escape the blame.
In the face of everyone's verbal criticism, Zhou Lin's face became more and more difficult to look at, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, and ordinary people couldn't break in at all, and these two things were done so well, this person must know everything about the City Lord's Mansion, that is to say, this person is a person from the City Lord's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lin's heart became a little uneasy, being able to get the seal is enough to show that this person is his cronies, so who will be among the people he trusts?
When a string of names kept flashing in his mind, Zhou Lin couldn't be sure, but at this moment, he secretly made a decision in his heart, if he found this person in the future, he must be punished heavily, whether it was his son or grandson, he could not be tolerated.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Lin's gaze slowly passed over the audience, and said: "Obviously, it is easy to see that the purpose of these two things is to postpone the martial arts of the Eighth Academy, although I don't know who did it, but I will definitely investigate this matter to the end." ”
"The city lord means to postpone the competition?"
"Both contestants are absent, what can I do if I don't postpone?"
"Shouldn't you be directly out of the game if you are absent? Chen Bufan was eliminated because he was late that day, if it was just a postponement of the competition today, then this would be too unfair to Chen Bufan, and I seriously doubt that the Eighth Academy would have an inside story. ”
Suddenly there was a strange voice in the crowd, and soon people thought of the lateness incident not long ago, yesterday Chen Bufan and Wang Shu battled, countless fans, just now such a strange voice suddenly appeared, and immediately responded.
Soon after, the sound of a shady curtain sounded again.
The incident that could have been calmed down was pushed to the forefront again, Zhou Lin's face was extremely ugly, he was suspected of manipulating the competition before, and now these two things are related to the City Lord's Mansion at the same time, and he can't wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Just as he was about to say something, the crowd was furious.
"If this competition is postponed, I propose that Chen Bufan be resurrected and go directly to the finals. ”
"Yes, let Chen Bufan be resurrected, with his strength against Wang Shu yesterday, he can definitely win the championship. ”
......
The voices of support far outnumbered the voices of opposition, and the whole lonely paradise was enveloped in a strong protest.
In the face of such a situation, Zhou Lin knew that he could only obey the will of the people, but once Chen Bufan was resurrected, then this time the Eight Courts Martial Arts would be the most unruly in history, but if the game was only postponed, the unquenchable public anger would continue, and in the end, it was likely to threaten his position as the city lord, and I don't know how many people were waiting for him to take the throne in this lonely paradise?
"I announce that the Eight Academies will postpone the competition, and Chen Bufan will be resurrected and enter the finals. ”
Zhou Lin reluctantly made this decision.
"City Lord, this is not fair! If Chen Bufan can be resurrected and enter the finals, then I will also ask to enter the finals. ”
At this time, Wen Xuan didn't know where to come from, and he looked very wronged.
Although Wen Xuan's popularity is not as big as Chen Bufan, everyone has also heard some things about him, he is another dark horse of Huairou Academy in addition to Chen Bufan, in the last semi-finals, he was eliminated because of the poisoning incident, and it can be regarded as being hacked, and it is not too much to ask to enter the finals again.
