Chapter 71: The Choice of the City Lord
Zhang Chenfeng looked at Lei Meng and the people brought out by Lei Meng, and after all of them were killed, he looked at these family masters around him and said with a faint smile: "I didn't bring a few people out this time, and I ask you to help me control the City Lord's Mansion!"
Zhang Chenfeng's meaning is very clear.
He asked these family heads to help him destroy the Lei family.
The Zhang family and the Lei family, to this point, there is already a blood feud between the two families.
Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and I don't want to leave any future troubles for my family.
As for whether there are women and children among them, Zhang Chenfeng has never been a soft-hearted person, women and children take revenge, and they are more ruthless than others, where will Zhang Chenfeng stay.
As soon as Zhang Chenfeng's words came out, these families were all shocked in their hearts.
All the masters of the Lei family have been eradicated, and the guards have all withdrawn, and they have to control the city lord's mansion by themselves and others, of course, they helped the Zhang family destroy the Lei family.
"Hey, I'm really blind, how can this kind of decisive person be a fool?"
"It's so ruthless, it's good that we've been neutral!"
"This guy is really ruthless, it seems that he has to find a way to get along with the Zhang family quickly, so as not to end up with the same fate as the Lei family!"
......
The heads of these families, whether they admired it in their hearts or couldn't bear it, all ordered their guards to deal with it according to Zhang Chenfeng's intentions.
Zhang Chenfeng looked at these family masters, smiled slightly, and waited outside the City Lord's Mansion, just waiting for the inside to be cleaned up before entering.
Listening to the screams coming from time to time in the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Haoxuan, who didn't understand that Zhang Chenfeng had asked someone to control the City Lord's Mansion, suddenly understood at this moment, and said to Zhang Chenfeng with a reluctant face: "Boss, there are many women and children in this Lei family, isn't it too ruthless and cruel to do this?"
"Ruthless, cruel?"
Zhang Chenfeng smiled faintly, then his face suddenly changed, and he said to Lin Haoxuan with a serious face: "Today I will teach you a little more, treat the enemy, especially the enemy who has an undying blood feud with you, you must be ruthless, you let go of the other party, the other party has a blood feud with you, will they be willing to let you go? Maybe one day in the future, there will be an enemy you let go, and give you a fatal blow!"
After Lin Haoxuan listened to Zhang Chenfeng's lesson, he suddenly remembered that when his master Ye Xuantian was in the Hell Golden Tower, he often said that his heart was too soft and not suitable for walking the rivers and lakes......
Zhang Chenfeng smiled slightly in his heart when he saw the unbearable look on Lin Haoxuan's face slowly receding.
If Lin Haoxuan was still the same, then Zhang Chenfeng might send him back to the Hell Golden Tower.
As a demon emperor who dared to kill thousands of people, Zhang Chenfeng definitely didn't want to leave a soft-hearted guy by his side.
If this kind of person stays around, he can only harm others and himself.
The warriors above the five realms of the Lei family's cyclone had been slaughtered by the Guardian Alliance just now.
The Lei family in the entire City Lord's Mansion did not even have a martial artist above the fivefold cyclone, where would it be the opponent of hundreds of escort coalition forces.
In just one pillar of incense, all the Lei family members in the entire City Lord's Mansion were slaughtered.
The Lei family has been wiped out, and the Lei family, which has been dominating Qinglei City for more than ten years, was wiped out at this moment and completely wiped out!
After all the people of the Lei family were settled, Zhang Chenfeng took more than a dozen family heads into the city lord's mansion and arranged for Uncle Xiang to count the Lei family's property.
At the same time, Zhang Chenfeng took these more than ten families to the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Chenfeng sat on the throne of the city lord that originally belonged to Lei He in the meeting hall, and smiled slightly at the more than ten family masters below: "Everyone, now that Lei He is dead, there is no city lord in my Qinglei City, I don't think you want the empire to appoint a city lord over, right?"
Zhang Chenfeng's meaning is very clear, that is, to recommend a person to serve as the city lord.
In the Heavenly Fire Empire, there are three ways to select city lords, one is the direct appointment of the empire, which is the most common.
The second type is the order of the domain chief, but the city lords that the domain lord can appoint are generally some small cities and city lords who are not very important.
Some large cities and important, special cities, the domain lord is not authorized to appoint.
The last one is that some of the families in the city who have reported in the empire and have a reputation in the local area jointly recommend it, and then it is reviewed and approved by the domain master and reported to the empire for appointment.
This approach is generally only used in small border towns far from the center of the empire.
One is because of the fear of war, no one wants to be the lord of the city.
The other is because of the proximity to the border, the people are strong, and the city lord jointly recommended by the locals can quickly stabilize the whole city.
Qinglei City is a small border city, and the Tianhuo Empire used to have frequent friction with the Feiyun Empire, and the war was continuous, so the position of the city lord can take the third way.
Those who are recommended in this way are recognized by the Empire, and it is very likely that they will be passed.
In fact, in the past few years, the war has stopped, and Qinglei City has become a trading city, and the business is extremely developed.
But Qinglei City is too small, and it has not attracted the attention of those big nobles and big families within the empire at all.
In addition, Qinglei City, up to the city lord, down to those small families, don't want those powerful people in the empire to know that Qinglei City is a treasure land, so they can take the recommended way.
Otherwise, if the empire knew the situation in Qinglei City at the moment, in the face of such a piece of fat, which powerful person would be willing to give up?
The heads of the family heard that Zhang Chenfeng understood so clearly, and they still didn't understand what Zhang Chenfeng meant.
He Sheng, the head of the He family, was the first to stand up and said: "Zhang Gongzi is right, in my opinion, our Qinglei City should quickly elect a city lord, and also choose a city lord who can convince the public and be admired by everyone, I recommend Zhang Gongzi to be the city lord!"
The He family supported the Lei family, and in order to support the Lei family, they also invested a huge amount of money.
Now that the Lei family has collapsed, the most important thing for the He family is to repair the relationship with the Zhang family.
So as soon as Zhang Chenfeng's words fell, He Sheng stood up for the first time and supported Zhang Chenfeng.
The Li family is a hardcore ally of the Zhang family, and the He family has stood up to support it, and it is impossible for the Li family not to support it.
The head of the Li family secretly scolded He Sheng in his heart for being shameless, snatched his first move, and at the same time stood up and said: "That's right, I think Zhang Gongzi is a good choice for the city master!"
The other heads of the family are not stupid.
Now the Zhang family has become the first family in Qinglei City, which is already a sure thing.
Moreover, they themselves are not qualified to become city lords, and they don't want the empire or domain lords to send city lords down.
The He family and the Li family, who are second only to the Zhang family, have all stood up to support Zhang Chenfeng, who else can they support if they don't support Zhang Chenfeng?
Therefore, one by one, they stood up in support of Zhang Chenfeng.
"What the Li family master said is right, in this Qinglei City, apart from Zhang Gongzi, who is still suitable to be the city lord?"
"That's right, Zhang Gongzi is definitely the best candidate!"
"That's what I mean, support Zhang Gongzi to succeed as the city lord!"
