Chapter 141: Celebration

"Bang, bang", with the last few sparse firecrackers, the hustle and bustle of the day finally dissipated, and the night of the brocade city returned to tranquility, just like every ordinary day in the past. However, today is destined to be extraordinary, and the history of the brocade city will not forget today.www.biquge.info

At half past ten o'clock this morning, the results of the heir selection were finally announced, and to the expectations of all the citizens, it was not the third young master of the Zhang family who had an absolute advantage in the past who took over the position of city lord, but the fourth young lady Zhang Lu, who was not optimistic about anyone. For this result, the vast majority of the citizens were even a little difficult to accept for a while, after all, the crow has been controlling the brocade city as the acting city lord for five years, and the political performance is very good, the people have long been accustomed to this young city lord who is always dressed in black and always smiling, although everyone also likes the fourth lady Zhang Lu, but in comparison, the status of the crow in the hearts of the people is higher. As a result, now that he was suddenly told that the city lord had no warning at all, he was replaced, and it was normal to be unacceptable.

However, as the crow's past crimes were revealed little by little, public opinion was in an uproar.

Obviously having great strength, he deliberately sat back and watched the City Guards fight the wolves bitterly during the expedition, causing the City Guards to lose one-third of their strength, just to weaken the strength of the City Guards.

Obviously, he could stop all the enemies, but he deliberately let the most elite wolves go and let them attack the city, just because he remembered that the people were afraid of war five years ago, and petitioned to let Zhang Yan go out, the purpose was to avenge Zhang Yan.

In order to cover up the crime, he assassinated two important city ministers at night, but fortunately he failed to succeed.

At the succession conference, he created a bloody case unprecedented in 200 years, and killed more than a dozen city managers with his own hands, seriously undermining the city's ability to operate normally.

One crime after another was exposed through the temporary supplements of the two newspapers, and even the most reluctant to believe it had to admit that what the two newspapers published this time was different from the usual nonsense, and that what they said this time was indeed substantiated.

Under the impact of these bombshell news, the attitude of the people has changed from questioning to incomprehension, from incomprehension to doubt, from confusion to anger.

The grief of losing a loved one, the fear of walking on the verge of death, it turns out that everything is all this person's conspiracy, in his eyes, a civilian like himself is not a citizen of the city at all, but just a group of consumables that can be killed at any time and discarded at any time, such a person can no longer be counted as a person, he is a cold-blooded demon.

As a result, all the anger was directed at the crow, and people vented their dissatisfaction to the crow who was missing. At the same time, for Zhang Lu, who saw through the crow's trick and had to kill her relatives and save the brocade city from the crow's conspiracy, people left all the beautiful words to her, and she simply became a savior-like existence in the hearts of the people, and in one day, Zhang Lu's reputation was like the sky.

Excited people walked out of their homes and hugged each other to express their joy, and the excited people spontaneously formed a procession, holding Zhang Lu's photo around the city, and finally gathered in the city center, chanting Zhang Lu's name and doing their best to show their support.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the closed door of the city hall finally opened, and under the expectation of thousands of people, Zhang Lu walked out of the gate with the survivors of the succession conference, climbed the high platform that had been built in the eyes of everyone, and began his first speech after the change of identity in high spirits. In his speech, the new lord of the castle first apologized for his brother's evil deeds and expressed his sincere apologies to every victim, whether it was ordinary people or officials who died today. At the same time, as the elder brother's younger sister, Zhang Lu also expressed her sadness for her brother's end, and tearfully hoped that her brother, who had gone somewhere, would be able to change his past and no longer be troubled by madness.

In addition, the new city lord is more leading everyone to look forward to the future, she was originally good at government affairs, and painted a beautiful picture of the future for everyone, and more importantly, this picture of the future is not a castle in the air, and the steps to turn it into reality are explained one by one in the speech, such a frank and pragmatic attitude, for her ushered in more cheers and applause, the people shouted to their heart's content, and some people even burst into tears with excitement.

At the height of the people's emotions, the highlight of the day began, led by the four pillars of the Lord, the existing officials of the Brocade City at all levels in turn pledged their allegiance to the new city lord, and even Mai Fujiwara, who was rumored to have been assassinated by a crow and was seriously injured, was supported by the nurse to the scene to swear allegiance. Not only that, after the allegiance was over, Fujiwara Mai stood directly behind Zhang Lu tremblingly, and insisted until the end of all the allegiance ceremonies, and then was helped home because of physical exhaustion.

Although this move only lasted for a short period of ten minutes and did not attract the attention of the vast majority of people, in the eyes of a few discerning people, the meaning contained in it is quite intriguing. Many people even seemed to see the black figure walking in the shadows again, and the never-fading purple behind him, but now the black figure has become a white dress, but the purple is still the purple.

After the allegiance ceremony, there is a grand celebration.

A large number of fireworks and firecrackers were lit for the inauguration of the new lord of the castle, and the scattered red paper and the smell of gunpowder spread throughout the city made the brocade city as festive as the New Year. Funded by the city government, a free banquet was prepared for today, which filled the square in the center of the city, which was the custom of the city city, and the new lord of the city would feast on the people of the city on the day of his succession, so that the people could share the joy of this success with him.

The roaring sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city, driving away the haze brought by strange beasts and demons to Brocade City in the past few days, and the innocent citizens had two goals of hatred and worship at the same time, and the depression in their hearts was finally relieved, and their faces were filled with heartfelt smiles.

It is not only the gloom in the heart that is driven away, but also the birds that inhabit the city. The noisy sound of firecrackers frightened the birds in the city, and they had to flee Daresin City in large numbers, and it is estimated that they will not return in a day or two.

The crows are of course one of the many birds in the city of Dare, and the large flocks of crows are startled by the sound of firecrackers, and they scatter with loud chirps, and only a group of crows has not fled the city, but circles around the city in the center of the central square, refusing to disperse for a long time.

In the celebration, no one would pay attention to a flock of birds in the sky, but Zhang Lu just noticed that the girl raised her head and looked up at the crows in the sky, with a mysterious smile on her face.
