Chapter 268: The Expectations of All
Instead of fear, Sherma leaned over to the prisoner and shouted, "Why, do you want to kill me?" Sherma's voice was so loud that everyone who was close could hear it. The prisoner hurriedly took his hand off his saber, glared at Sherma viciously, and turned away.
Ai Yingsha was very satisfied with the reaction below, thinking that this farce should also end, she pressed her hands and said, "Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's continue to start the succession ceremony!"
"No!" said the prisoner as he returned to the ranks of the nobles.
Ai Yingsha also hated this person a little, and said, "Prisoner Bao, do you still have any questions?"
Prisoner Bao's face changed quickly, and he regained his calmness, and said lightly: "Although the princess is young, she should also understand that Ai Sakura City is not just composed of civilians, right? Now only the commoners support Yan, we nobles, but no one supports him!"
Cassit chimed in: "A city lord without the support of nobles, this doesn't seem to make sense, does it?"
What the two of them said was not reasonable, if there was no support from the nobles, Yan, the city lord, would indeed be awkward. Ai Yingsha's face was full of sadness, and she asked the bottom, "The nobles of Ai Sakura City, isn't there anyone among you who supports Yan?"
There was silence below, and Prisoner Bao and Cassie were very pleased with the effect, and both laughed gloomily.
"I support it!"
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, the noble team of the prisoner and the Cassie separated from the two sides, and another noble team came out of the crowd, although the number was a little smaller than that of the prisoner, but the momentum was very powerful.
But to Zhao Yan's surprise, the person at the forefront of this aristocratic team was actually Cui Nande.
Could it be that he made the voice just now?
Prisoner Bao and Cassitt looked at Trinand like monsters, and exclaimed, "What...... How are you?"
Trinan walked out of the crowd, ignoring the prisoners and Cassie behind him, but knelt down on one knee towards Ai Yingsha, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Lord of the City!"
After saying hello, Cui Nande turned around, looked at the prisoner with a blank face, and said firmly: "Lord prisoner, you heard it right. I, Trinand Mansri, support Yan as the new lord of Sakura Castle!"
The prisoner looked at Cui Nande in shock, remembering that when the nobles discussed last night, Cui Nande, who usually had the most bad ideas, didn't even say a word. At the time, he didn't think so, but now he understands.
Prisoner Bao stretched out his finger, pointed at Cui Nande, and said angrily: "Cui Nande, what benefit has Yan given you......! You're ......."
Hum!
Trinan glared at the prisoner viciously, and shouted, "My Mansri family is one of the three nobles of Aiying City, and my status is not lower than your Dai Hua family, can I buy it?"
Cui Nande turned around, stretched out his arms, faced Zhao Yan, and said: "When Aiying City was in danger, who saved us despite all difficulties? In Aiying Castle, some desolate nobles disregarded the safety of the country, but instead robbed the people's daughters to do evil, and who disregarded their own lives and cut off the wicked with a knife. Trinan did not blush when he said this, as if he had not worked in the tent with his sixty-sixth concubine when the country was in trouble.
"A person with such a mind and a sense of responsibility, with such a sense of justice and courage, is he not qualified to be the lord of the city? Such a person, of course I want to support it!"
Cui Nande danced with his hands and frothed at the mouth, which made Zhao Yan almost shed tears when he was moved. He never expected that his mercy to Cui Nande's subordinates at the beginning would be exchanged for today's strong help. And what made Zhao Yan even more unexpected was that Cui Nande was still a genius, and he actually brought out all the classic lines of Xing Ye.
As long as this person is sincere to me, he is a good seedling that can be cultivated, Zhao Yan sighed in his heart.
Cui Nande's sudden appearance turned the situation around the audience and interrupted everyone's thoughts. It was not only the prisoners and others who were surprised, but even the civilians were extremely surprised, after all, Cui Nande did a lot of evil, which is counted in everyone's heart.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the more than 100 wives in his family are also envied by some people and angry by others.
Many people often point fingers at him in private, and in recent years, there have been many singles, but this beast, like an animal, has found hundreds of wives by himself, which is really infuriating.
Cui Nande did not stand on the side of the nobles, but maintained the same camp with the commoners to support Zhao Yan, which was completely unexpected by everyone.
Ai Yingsha glanced at the prisoner, thinking that you have nothing to say now.
Ai Yingsha took a small step forward and said, "Lord Prisoner, even the Mansri family has already agreed with Yan, are you still obsessed?"
"Princess, I'm not obsessed, but I really think about Sakura Castle. Okay, even if Cui Nande supports Yan, he is the only one of the three major families in Sakura City, and he only represents the position of a small number of nobles. Does the princess want to sacrifice the big and take the small, and lose the big because of the small?" the prisoner stared at Ai Yingsha coldly, and his gaze was extremely cold.
"Hmph, the old city lord is gone, are you lawless?"
A violent roar still echoed over Ai Sakura City for a long time after it sounded, and the eardrums of the people who shook were slightly painful. When Gulphy heard this, he couldn't help but feel joy on his face, and his eyes bloomed with a strange look.
The voice was still trembling in the air, and the person who spoke had already stepped out of the crowd.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the three of them, and instinctively gave birth to a burst of respect.
The person who came was none other than Ku Chitu, the principal of the Ancient Saint Luohua Warrior Academy, Ku Chitu's eyes were bright, and the beard on his face was clearly defined, and he was obviously very energetic. His face was full of rage, and as he moved, he swept his gaze over the things in front of him.
Hui Mingdos and Omako walked behind him, seeing this scene, Zhao Yan and the others were all happy, it seems that under Hui Mingdos's treatment, Ku Chitu is fine.
Ku Chitu stopped in front of Prisoner Bao, turned his head and locked his eyes on him, and said, "Prisoner Bao, what tone did you say just now, are you threatening the princess?"
Because of the matter of Gullieqiu, the relationship between Ku Chitu and Ai Yingteng has also undergone some subtle changes. Although he stayed in Ai Sakura City, he never interfered in the political affairs of Ai Sakura City on weekdays, and he had little contact with these noble officials. Often, these people only know about Ku Chitu's temper and power by hearsay, but they don't know him very well.
Although Prison Bao was not afraid of Ku Chitu on the surface, he was really panicked when he was looked at by Ku Chitu like this.
Prisoner Bao forcibly held back the tremors on his body and said, "Principal Kuchitu, I'm just reminding the princess, not a threat as you say. I don't have the guts to threaten the princess. ”
Ku Chitu said coldly: "It's good that you know!"
Ku Chitu slowly turned around, glanced at the princess, and then turned around and said, "Don't think that Ai Sakura City will not work without you!
The prisoner and the others were shocked.
Ku Chitu took a few steps closer to the prisoner, stared at him and said, "Although you are the three major nobles of bullshit, let me tell you, my Ku Chitu will not be much worse than you! I bet that as long as I support Yan, there will be many nobles who will support him with me!"
Without giving the prisoner a chance to refute, Ku Chitu turned around violently and said majestically: "Princess, Lord Bishop, please baptize for Yan!"
Ku Chitu glanced back and continued: "This is the old city lord's arrangement, the old city lord's arrangement is everything, even if there is no one to support it, the city lord Yan is justified." What's more, almost everyone supports him now, but there are a few self-righteous guys who are making trouble. You just do what the old city lord commands, and these people don't have to pay attention. After Yan became the city lord, they didn't want to serve their lives, so they could move and leave, and leave Aiying City! This world was fought down by the old city lord desperately, couldn't there be so few nobles? Hmph! I don't believe it in Kuchitu!"
"Ku Chi Tu, you ......" Prisoner Bao's face was deformed, he didn't expect Ku Chi Tu to be such a domineering guy.
Ku Chitu ignored the prisoner Sibao, and stood majestically in place, quietly looking ahead, as if nothing had happened just now.
On the ceremony stage, Gullysqiu looked at the cool red picture below with a smile on his face, and his heart was very happy.
Ai Yingsha nodded to Ku Chi Tu and decided not to pay attention to the prisoners of the people, all the civilians below were very supportive of the old city lord's decision, and the great nobles Trinan Mansri and Ku Chi Tu also supported Zhao Yan, which made Ai Yingsha a lot more confident.
Ai Yingsha and the white-bearded old man bishop next to him glanced at each other, and the two of them nodded slightly.
The next moment, no one spoke anymore, and Prisoner Bao and Cassie looked at what was happening in front of them, but they were powerless to stop it.
Ku Chitu's words have been made very clear, whether you support it or not, there are many of you who love Sakura City, if you don't love it, get out, no one will stop you.
Although it is a noisy square on weekdays, it is the most sacred and majestic holy place at this moment. Zhao Yan's eyes were pious, and he approached Ai Yingsha with a simple demeanor, bent down slightly, and stretched his head towards Ai Yingsha.
The bishop faced Zhao Yan, closed his eyes slightly, spread his hand on the thick book, and read silently for a while. Finally, he put his hand into the white basin on the square table next to him, flicked his five fingers away, and sprinkled the water on Zhao Yan's head.
Feeling the baptism of holy water, Zhao Yan felt very comfortable all over his body, and thought to himself when the Lord Bishop sprinkled himself a little more. But there was an extra hard thing on his head, and Zhao Yan knew that this was Ai Yingsha, and he had already put on the city lord's crown for himself.
Zhao Yan saluted slightly to the Bishop and Ai Yingsha, and then stood up, and the moment Zhao Yan stood up, the Bishop and Ai Yingsha, including Gules Qiu, nodded lightly to him, and their movements were very reverent.
Ai Yingsha smiled faintly at Zhao Yan and said, "Yan, you are now the city lord of Aiying City. ”
Zhao Yan nodded to Ai Yingsha, and at this moment, his black eyes seemed to suddenly mature a lot.
Zhao Yan turned around, the city lord's robe was raised backwards with the wind, and he quickly took a few steps upward, looking at the people below.
Thump......
"City Lord!" all the people below knelt and cheered in unison.
Ku Chitu and Cui Nande were the leaders, and the nobles behind them also knelt down on one knee one after another, calling Zhao Yan "City Lord" loudly.
Everyone bowed down, and in the vast area below, only the prisoners and others were still standing there. Gradually, they felt the angry gazes of the others, and gradually, one by one, they became shorter.
Cassie whispered to the prisoner, "Kneel...... There's no way, admit it!"
As if he hadn't heard Cassie's advice to him, he still stood there.
Unwilling to follow him, Cassie glanced at the man behind him and knelt down. After a long pause, the prisoner looked around and saw that everyone in his line of sight was a little shorter than himself. Looking up, Ai Yingsha and Zhao Yan's eyes were also staring at them tightly. The prisoner was helpless, but finally knelt down.
"Castle Lord......"
A hint of a smile flashed across Zhao Yan's face, but it quickly turned into a cold seriousness. He spread his arms, and the city lord's robe flew back again. His voice echoed in the air for a long time, accompanied by the wind.
"May we work together to make life happy for all!"
Wow!
(Support genuine, support.**.com)
After officially taking over as the city lord, Zhao Yan was busy for three days, and suddenly having to deal with a lot of things really made him a little unbearable. What is more special is that now Aiying City is a city that has just been washed by the war, and a lot of aftermath work has caused some miscellaneous trivial matters, which are mixed together to make Zhao Yan feel like a dream in the past three days.
In fact, Zhao Yan was very confident in his own ability, and he was not troubled by these things, what he lacked was not ability, but manpower and proficiency.
He had just taken over as the city lord, and he was not very familiar with many officials in the castle, so it was not particularly convenient to deal with them. What made Zhao Yan most difficult was that there were many aristocratic officials who were reluctant to cooperate. On the surface, although he didn't argue with Zhao Yan and looked very obedient to orders, in fact, he was passive and slacking off, finding fault everywhere.
Zhao Yan naturally has a way to deal with these problems, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, Zhao Yan naturally did intelligence work first.
Zhao Yan always remembered in his heart that when Joel was in power, he loved the arrogance of those nobles in Sakura City, and he decided to open the old tent of purgatory on earth, first peel off their sheepskins, and see the true appearance of the wolf.
In Zhao Yan's office, in the city lord's council hall, Namanzi walked in.
Zhao Yan turned around and said, "How's it going?"
Namanzi took out a stack of papers from her pocket, spread them out on the conference table, and said, "When Joel was here, eighty percent of the nobles in Sakura City had an interest in him. ”
Although Zhao Yan was mentally prepared, this answer still surprised him.
Namanzi said, "Do you want to see this list?"
Zhao Yan waved his hand and said, "Let's put it there first!" It doesn't matter if you look at this list or not, Na Manzi naturally won't lie to him, he just has a lot of nobles who don't know their names yet, just take a look at it.
Namanzi gradually walked towards Zhao Yan and said, "Yan, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Yan cried and laughed, shook his head, and said, "There are too many people involved, I can't do it even if I want to!"
Zhao Yan is very aware of his current situation, he has just taken office, his foundation is not stable at all, there are too many people involved in this matter, and it will be a very dangerous thing if he rashly rectifies it.
Zhao Yan would not choose to take this risk, this is not only his own life, but also about those businessmen who are counting on him.
The system must be changed, and the rules and regulations must be set, but these stumbling blocks must be cleaned up first.
Namanzi agreed with Zhao Yan's point of view, nodded in agreement, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Also, the matter you confessed to me yesterday has been investigated, and those officials who secretly oppose you have someone behind them to support them." ”
"Is it a prisoner?" Zhao Yan asked softly.
Namanzi smiled, "Yes, it's him." ”
"And this man, when Joel was in power, had a very close relationship with Joel. ”
Zhao Yan asked, "How close?"
It can be said that the nobles who support Joel are headed by him, and he is also responsible for conveying some of Joel's thoughts to the nobles. ”
Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction and muttered, "In this way, he is Joel's second master!"
Hum!
I see, prisoner, prisoner, no wonder you have to go against me.
The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth curved slightly, since the nobles can't all be eliminated, let's break them one by one!
Zhao Yan smiled at Na Manzi: "Well done Na Manzi, thank you for your hard work!"
Namanzi smiled faintly and was silent.
"Boss!"
At this moment, the mad dragon walked in, his face dusty.
Seeing the dragon coming in, Namanzi said, "Yan, then you talk, I'll go out first." ”
"No, Namanzi, although my identity has changed now, we are all good friends, and I trust you the most, so you don't have to shy away from it. ”
"But this ......"
After Namanzi finished speaking, Zhao Yan said again: "And if you stay here, you can still think of a way for me, you see that I have been busy these days." Ay...... My head is dizzy. ”
Zhao Yan said this, and Namanzi couldn't leave. The dragon walked in, saw Namanzi, and smiled silly at her.
Talking about business, Zhao Yan's face immediately became very serious, and said, "Old man, what is your situation?"
The dragon frowned and said, "Boss, it's so strange that we have raided Joel's house and found only a small box. There was not a single amethyst coin in the box, and there were only a few dozen crystal coins in total. ”
Dozens of crystal coins, not even Joel's salary for a year is not enough, Zhao Yan asked again: "Is there any treasure then?"
The mad dragon shook his head and said, "There are experts in this field with us, except for a few high-level weapons, there is nothing of value. ”
Zhao Yan put his hands into his trouser belts, walked back and forth, shaking his head as he walked, "No, it's absolutely impossible." ”
"Crazy man, have you searched carefully, is there a secret room or something?"
"Boss, Amaya also went with me, she is an expert in this area, and she really didn't find any secret rooms. ”
Namanzi suddenly smiled coldly and said lightly: "What an old fox." ”
