Chapter 21: Questioning

The voice fell, and the audience fell silent.

In the cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is not for nothing that the weak serve as the lord of a city.

But this requires him to excel in other areas.

For example, the ability to manage the city, or the ability to have a large number of strong people to follow, or the prestige in the city is extremely high.

But in the eyes of everyone, the only thing that Lin Ye has to do in these aspects is that there are strong people under him to follow.

The reason why he was able to succeed to the position of city lord was that the status of viscount was only one aspect, and more importantly, it was the support of the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion, as the power of the previous City Lord, was able to support Lin Ye to become the City Lord, and the impact was undoubtedly huge.

But the current City Lord's Mansion is only comparable to the Han family and the Zhao family.

Therefore, if Lin Ye only relied on this, it would definitely be very difficult for him to ascend to the position of the city lord.

Sure enough, Bian Youren soon questioned.

"May I ask Viscount Lin, what qualifications do you have to manage Flying Dragon City well?"

A Han family elder stood up and asked loudly.

This sentence can be said to not give Lin Ye any face.

But the Han family was originally here for the position of city lord, so naturally they would not think about these vain things anymore.

Lin Ye stood on the high platform and looked down at the Han family elder who spoke.

He slowly spoke: "In the past two years, I have been in the position of the young city lord, but I have also managed Flying Dragon City in an orderly manner, and the living standards of the people in the city have improved more than a notch, why am I not qualified?"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, the Han family elder was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The improvement of the living standards of the people in the city was obviously a plan made by their Han family in the name of Han Fei, who would have thought that Lin Ye was so shameless that he would take all the credit on himself.

But what Lin Ye said was without the slightest flaw.

Before that, he was the young city lord, and Han Fei's identity was only a civilian.

insisted on saying that Han Fei's various good deeds were his leadership, and no one could refute them.

As soon as Lin Ye's words came out, Han Cang, the ancestor of the Han family, shrank slightly.

With this sentence alone, Lin Ye's weight in his heart immediately increased.

Originally, he still regarded Lin Ye as a hairy boy who didn't know anything, but at this moment, he found that he was careless.

Although the other party is only twelve years old, this mind is indeed too terrifying.

"Once he wins the position of city lord, this son must not stay!"

Han Cang said secretly in his heart.

Compared with the Han family, the attitude of the Zhao family seems a little indifferent.

Zhao Feihu sat in his seat, his eyes drooping, and it seemed that he was really just going through a passing scene, looking forward to the early end of the ceremony.

What no one noticed was in an attic not far from the square.

Han Fei stood in front of the window, looking at the forest leaves on the stage.

When she saw Lin Ye say that all his good deeds were his credit, not only did she not have a trace of anger, but she seemed to have a smile on her face.

It was as if she had already guessed that Lin Ye would say this.

"Then may I ask Viscount Lin, during your tenure as the young city lord, how do you explain the slaughter of a town by the White Horse Gang?"

Someone alone asked.

It's just that this person is not from the Han family, but Lin Ye guessed that it must be related to the Han family.

After all, the Han family can't always be questioned by their own people, so the target is too obvious.

"Two years ago, I sent the city guards to wipe out the White Horse Gang!"

Lin Ye still said unhurriedly.

"Nonsense, the one who killed the leader of the White Horse Gang is obviously the master of Ye Lou!"

The man retorted directly.

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar.

The fact that the master of Ye Lou killed Rong Fei was known to almost everyone in Flying Dragon City, including civilians.

Lin Ye can say that Han Fei has improved his prestige as he has managed well, but this statement is completely unworkable for the master of Ye Lou.

As we all know, Ye Lou has no quarrel with the world, since the master of Ye Lou killed Rong Fei two years ago, Ye Lou has never had any contact with the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Lou is an incomparably tall existence in the hearts of the people of Flying Dragon City.

If the image that Han Fei has created for himself is close to the people, then Ye Lou is admirable.

This kind of admiration cannot be subjected to a trace of blasphemy!

Therefore, after the man retorted, the civilians who were watching looked at Lin Ye's eyes, and a trace of dissatisfaction rose.

Da Da Da –

At this moment, the sound of neat steps suddenly sounded from a distance, and soon arrived outside the square.

"It's Ye Lou's people!"

"Everyone, let go, the people from Ye Lou are here!"

One after another exclamations rang out, and the place where Ye Lou's team was located immediately gave way to a passage.

At this time, even everyone in the Han family couldn't help laughing.

The timing of Ye Lou's arrival was too ingenious.

If they hadn't always known that Ye Lou had no quarrel with the world, they all wondered if Ye Lou was deliberately targeting Lin Ye.

Ye Lou's people and horses walked neatly into the square, and stood there directly, without choosing to take a seat.

"Look, is the one who led Ye Lou's people Wu Chenfeng?"

"That's right, it's Wu Chenfeng, I didn't expect even him to join Ye Lou!"

After everyone saw Wu Chenfeng's figure, they immediately exploded.

As a Nine Heavenly Powerhouse, Wu Chenfeng naturally has a great reputation in Flying Dragon City.

Moreover, in the early years, whether it was the City Lord's Mansion or the three major families, they all sent invitations to him, but they were all rejected by him.

Unexpectedly, today he appeared here as a member of Ye Lou.

This once again makes people feel the charm of the owner of Ye Lou.

"Wu Chenfeng actually joined Ye Lou too?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Cang's eyes, but his expression did not change much.

Ye Lou doesn't like to compete for fame and fortune, and no matter how powerful he is, he won't pose a threat to them.

It was that Lin Ye who wanted to take advantage of Ye Lou's people not coming, so he took the credit for Ye Lou on himself.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Ye Lou's people came.

Now it's up to him how he ends.

The Great Elder of the Han Family hurriedly glanced at the man who had just spoken, and the man immediately nodded.

Then, the man shouted loudly: "Viscount Lin, what you said just now, do you dare to be Ye Lou's face, do you say it again?"

However, Lin Ye's eyes all converged on Wu Chenfeng and the others.

After a while, he showed a smile and slowly spoke: "Ye Lou arrived, what happened?"

Wu Chenfeng took a step forward, and then said loudly: "On the order of Mr. Ye, I came to congratulate Viscount Lin on taking the position of city lord!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

The conversation between the two reached everyone's ears without dropping.

Ye Lou, are you here to congratulate Lin Ye?

Doesn't this mean that Ye Lou supports Lin Ye to become the city lord of Flying Dragon City?

Everyone in the Han family had their eyes wide at this time.

Ye Lou's actions made a trace of badness rise in their hearts.

If the City Lord's Mansion really has the support of Ye Lou, then it will be difficult for the Han family to win the position of City Lord.

"Let's take a look first, Ye Lou may not necessarily be involved, and even if they do participate, if the master of Ye Lou doesn't come, we still have a chance!"

Han Cang gritted his teeth and said.

Han Jichuan, the head of the Han family, and Han Shui, the great elder, had to nod helplessly.

Today is their last chance, and they can't back down no matter what!

Now, they could only hope that Ye Lou would not be involved.

But Wu Chenfeng's next words directly shattered their illusions.

Facing Lin Ye's thanks, Wu Chenfeng arched his hand and said: "Viscount Lin is polite, Mr. Ye has an order, everyone in Ye Lou, including me, is under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion today, if there is anything we need to do, just ask!"

Wu Chenfeng's words once again caused a sensation.

"How...... How is that possible?"

Han Cang's eyes were full of unwillingness.

What's wrong with Ye Lou today, why would he help Lin Ye, a hairy boy, so much?

"Go and let Xiaofei come over!"

Han Cang immediately yelled at Han Jichuan in a low voice.

So far, we can only let Han Fei come out first, so as to win back a little bit in public opinion.

Otherwise, the following actions can be canceled directly.

Ye Lou's attitude made the eyes of countless people look at Lin Ye, a twelve-year-old boy, completely changed.

Even Ye Lou supported him so much to become the city lord, then he must be qualified to manage this city well.

This is also the reason why Lin Ye and the others arranged for Ye Lou's people to appear at this time.

Rally!

They want everyone to know that Ye Lou, who has a great reputation in Flying Dragon City, unconditionally ascends to the position of city lord.

With Ye Lou's attitude, few people raised targeted questions in the future.

The succession ceremony continued quickly, and soon, the step of announcing the whole city was about to end.

At this time, everyone in the Han family couldn't sit still at all.

Seeing that Han Fei hadn't come yet, Han Cang finally couldn't help it and stood up.

"Since Viscount Lin wants to serve as the city lord, there must be a strong man under his command, and the old man wants to ask for advice from the strong man under Viscount Lin today!"
