Luo Zhi hurriedly said: "Yes, the lower officials know what to do, and they will not expel the beggars again." ”

Fang Ling bowed slightly, stepped forward, and Lu Bei couldn't help muttering: "Your Highness, forget it?"

Fang Ling said lightly: "Didn't you hear, this Xu is one of the three major clans, now is not the time to move him, let's let it go first." ”

"But...... Wouldn't that make them more rampant and look down on His Highness even more?" Lu Bei couldn't help but say.

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "Only by showing weakness can people lower their guards." ”

After entering the city, Fang Ling found that there was indeed a world of difference between Xihe County and Feng County, one was extremely barren, and the other was quite prosperous, of course, this prosperity was compared with Feng County, and compared with the inland states and counties passing through, it was naturally much inferior.

However, compared with the border towns, the roads here are wide, there are many shops, there are wine shops, inns, various grocery stores, as well as green buildings and gambling houses, and there are many pedestrians on the road, which is very lively.

The banquet was held in the mansion of the Luo family, as the first famous family in the county, and the home of the Luo County Order, this mansion was built brilliantly, the courtyard was wide, in front of the door, Maling County Commander Yu Zhengqi and the subordinate petty officials, have been waiting outside.

In addition, there were many more than a dozen people, most of whom were old men in their fifties and sixties, wearing gorgeous brocade robes and satin, all with arrogant expressions, occupying the main road in front of the court, while Yu Zhengqi and other officials were standing on the side.

When Fang Ling and the others came over, Yu Zhengqi and other officials bowed slightly, while the old men of the Wang clan were smiling, as if they had forgotten to salute.

One of the old men in his sixties strode up, brushed his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really a young and heroic man, this time you came to admire your face, it really makes this county very honorable." ”

Luo Zhi hurriedly introduced on the side: "Your Highness, this is the patriarch of our Luo family, Old Lady Luo. ”

Another old man also came over and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the old man is the patriarch of the Lin family in Maling County, and if I can see Your Highness today, this old face is also light." ”

Fang Ling smiled, this was his fiefdom, but he felt as if he had become an outsider, but he didn't show it, he just smiled and said: "The second elder is polite, counting the age, this king is still a junior, it should be up to me to meet you." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately bowed their heads slightly, and they were quite satisfied with his attitude, and Old Lady Luo smiled heartily: "Your Highness, please inside." ”

While walking, Luo Zhi and Yu Zhengqi introduced people to Fang Ling.

"This is the patriarch of the Wang family, Old Man Wang. ”

"This is the patriarch of the Lin family, Old Man Lin. ”

“......”

Everyone spoke with confidence, and no one showed humility, as if they didn't know the etiquette of officialdom. Fang Ling knew that things were really as Wang Tieshi said, and he, the king of Shicheng, really had no weight in them. For them, they should have something to ask for them, not for them to bother themselves.

According to the introduction of the two county orders, there are a total of six families in the two counties, including three in Xihe County, headed by the Luo family, and three in Maling County, headed by the Lin family.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the hall, and after they were seated, there were maids serving food one after another.
