Chapter 171: The Fisherman Profits
The Boundless Mansion was dumbfounded.
Han Qing was furious, and scolded in a low voice: "You actually have it!"
"I never said no. Wu Chen pretended to be nothing.
"Then why didn't you show it up the day before yesterday?"
"Because I don't want to. Wu Chen didn't look at Han Qing and moved forward.
"Yes, I should thank you for winning one more vote for Ying Tianfu. Han Qing scoffed.
"Don't thank me, I don't know what to do with my vote. ”
"What do you mean!" Han Qing was furious.
"As I said earlier, today's result must still be strange, so let's wait and see. ”
"You make it clear!"
"There's nothing to say, since you trust him so much, try it. When Wu Chen said this, he looked at Elder Sheng Yan, who was sitting in front of him.
Han Qing looked sideways and didn't notice anything unusual.
She didn't understand why Wu Chen targeted Sheng Yanchang. Elder Sheng is a very old man in Nanyou, he has been a celebrity in Nanyou since he was young, and he is a person with both ability and political integrity, so he can naturally be convinced by everyone......
After the verification is completed, we will continue to discuss today's business.
Since Han Qing and Kang Ruhai voted to elect the new Fuzun, however, the result half an hour later still surprised everyone.
The result was as if under a spell, and it was the same as yesterday's second round of voting. Han Qing and Kang Ruhai each voted fourteen, and the remaining twenty-four abstained......
Elder Dai's muscles were violent, and he seemed to be unable to suppress his anger.
Thinking about his hard lobbying yesterday, it was all in vain. Han Qing also pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
Kang Ruhai couldn't hold back at first, got up and said, "I want to verify the ballots." ”
"Please!"
Sheng Yan seemed to reluctantly retreat, which means that if you hadn't asked me to preside over it, I wouldn't want to take care of this mess.
As soon as Kang Ruhai was about to step forward, the disciple of the Meihu steward stopped him and said, "Please avoid suspicion from the mansion master, or invite other elders to come and test." ”
Kang Ruhai breathed a long sigh of relief and gave the elders of the same mansion behind him a look, and the elders of his cronies went to check the ballots. Dai E also stepped forward at Han Qing's signal and checked with the elders of Wuyafu.
Then the two returned together dejected.
There is no problem with the ballot, the problem is the people's heart!
The promises are too slippery, but there is no sincerity in the alliance.
"Lord Kang, the Meihu meeting was originally convened by you, but now in this situation, Sheng Mou really doesn't dare to continue to preside, what should be the next step is still up to you to decide!" Sheng Yan stepped back and sat in his seat.
"No!" Dai E stood up and said, "Lord Kang is one of the candidates, and in such a situation, you still need to avoid suspicion." ”
"Yes, Elder Sheng Yanchang has the prestige to serve the public, and the deliberations are presided over by Elder Sheng. "There are other prefectures that should be reconciled.
Kang Ruhai was indignant, and asked sharply: "Let me ask the last question, more than 20 elders who have abstained, what do you mean?"
He was an impatient, and naturally he was dissatisfied with these duplicitous elders, and he had enough of it.
The scene was silent for a moment, and Elder Qingfengyan of the Remote Governor Mansion stood up and said, "To tell the truth, neither of the two candidates is what we want. ”
"That's right! The Kang Mansion Master has an impatient personality, and the Han Mansion Master has a lot of qualifications, so they are not suitable. ”
"The Mansion is the lord of my southern darkness, so naturally I need to nominate a person who is highly respected and can convince everyone to take on the role. ”
At this time, those originally suppressed Fumen elders all expressed their positions.
Wu Chen calmly looked at these people who were stirring up the atmosphere, and saw that most of them were the descendants of the Chaos Sect, not the masters of the various mansions. Even the people who spoke were mostly concentrated in a few neutral mansions.
The more everyone talked, the more intense the atmosphere became, stirring the minds of the other elders who were originally reluctant to make trouble, and listening to these strong words, it seemed to have some truth.
Ying Tianfu and Wuyafu have been fighting for many years, if one of them takes the position, the other factions will never end well, and Nanyou is bound to fall apart.
The disciple of the Meihu steward, who maintained the order of the deliberations, hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and asked even more intentionally: "Then I don't know if there is a real candidate in the hearts of the elders who abstained? ”
The council hall was silent for a moment again.
Then finally a Chaos Sect elder stood up and said, "The person I want is Elder Sheng Yanchang. ”
Sheng Yan shuddered when he heard this, and then hurriedly waved his hand.
"Yes, Elder Sheng Yanchang has already responded to my Nanyou, and we are naturally convinced. ”
"Whether it is seniority or prestige, Sheng Yanchang is the best choice. ”
“......”
For a while, the proposal that had no clue suddenly became bright. Everyone shouted in unison, and promoted Sheng Yanchang to stand up and raise his arms for the overall situation of Nanyou.
The words in the council hall were boiling, and Kang Ruhai looked at the person who stood up to call for Sheng Changlao, his expression was like eating a live fly.
Han Qing also looked at Sheng Yan, and then looked at Wu Chen, there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes.
She thought that Wu Chen asked her twice in succession, why did she trust Sheng Yan so much, did this kid know something?
Elder Sheng Yanchang first shirked in every possible way, and then a group of Chaos Sect elders not only spoke out, but also enthusiastically supported people rushed forward to pay respects, imploring Elder Sheng Yanchang to stand up.
"No, don't ......"
"No, don't ......"
This is the sentence that Sheng Yan said the most.
But in the end, he still stood up with great difficulty.
"Sheng is ashamed, I grew up in Nanyou, everyone knows my temperament, I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, idle clouds and wild cranes, which is what I can afford to be honored in this mansion......"
"Only Elder Sheng can respond to every call!"
"Only Elder Sheng convinced me. ”
"Elder Sheng, Nanyou is in danger now, don't you want to lead us to revive Nanyou's majesty?"
“......”
Hearing Sheng Yan's resignation, the crowd shouted again.
The disciples in charge hurriedly signaled everyone to be calm, and then asked everyone: "Elders, calm down, let's vote once, and we are still anonymous." This time it was different, those who agreed with Elder Sheng to be qualified for the throne would put a tick on the ballot, and leave it blank if they disagreed. ”
"This ...... This can't be ......," Sheng Yan was still prevaricating.
However, the disciple in charge signaled Sheng Yan to be calm for a while, and with a look of motion, he asked the disciple to distribute the blank ballots.
The ballots were quickly collected, and under the counting of votes, not only the 24 who had abstained from voting were checked, but six more were also checked.
Elder Sheng Yanchang actually won the support of the thirty elders present.
"Elder Sheng, you see, this is the will of the people. The steward disciple said.
"Elder Sheng, you don't have to excuse yourself. ”
"In such a time of crisis, only you can stand up and lead the people of the Southern Shadows. ”
Hey, Sheng Changchang sighed.
"I have seen the sincerity of everyone, and Sheng is grateful. Everyone is right, Nanyou is now withering, the world is declining, and I really have no reason to shirk as a member of Nanyou. But I'm afraid that I won't do well and lose everyone's trust in me. ”
"Elder Sheng is too humble!"
"We believe in you. ”
“......”
The rhetoric boiled again.
In this boiling atmosphere, the people who originally firmly supported Wuyafu and Yingtianfu were all in a trance. Thinking in his heart, such a compromise, Sheng Yan is indeed a good candidate......
Sheng Yan raised his hand to signal quiet: "Okay, good, good, everyone insists on this, so I'll give it a try for the time being." ”
The voices of on-site support and praise are endless.
"No!"
Suddenly, a sharp voice interspersed by, incompatible with the praise.
Han Qing stood up suddenly.
