He didn't wait long, Andulan came over panting, Ouyang Feng didn't let him in, but on the grass in the courtyard, listening to Andulan who was sweating profusely tell what happened. In the end, Andulan said with some uneasiness: "Fourth master, Archsteward Roderick wants to meet with you and explain things clearly in person. You see?"

Ouyang Feng frowned and thought for a while and said, "You go back first, and I'll go over." Andulan nodded, and rode away again, taking the first step to arrange a meeting place and a meeting place for the two big men.

After some discussion, Ouyang Feng ignored the opposition of Hongsheng, Qingfeng, and Mingyue, and decided to meet the chief steward in person to see what his purpose was.

Qingfeng was worried about Ouyang Feng's safety, so he accompanied Pei Di, Barlow, and Rice Bucket, while Bruce and Monkey followed quietly, converging with the red clothes hidden in the shadows, ready to support by force and then quickly evacuate. As for Alger and them, Ouyang Feng didn't have time to inform them, but fortunately, Ouyang Feng told him before that if he saw the blue magic signal, he would take someone away immediately.

When Ouyang Feng and his party of five came to the shop, Roderick, the chief steward, was still sitting on the horse and waiting quietly, and the shopkeeper of Andulan shrugged helplessly at Ouyang Feng, and whispered to Ouyang Feng: "The fourth master, the chief steward insists on waiting for you here, and I can't help it." ”

Ouyang Feng nodded, came to Roderick's horse, glanced at Roderick, and said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency is the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, right? I am the fourth master of the Qingyuan Guild, I don't know why Your Excellency came in person?"

The moment Roderick saw Ouyang Feng, he was shocked by Ouyang Feng's unruly temperament, which is not to say how amazing Ouyang Feng's temperament is. It's because Roderick has a preconceived idea that Ouyang Feng and they have a background in the Holy City. Under the anxiety in my heart. Seeing Ouyang Feng's not tough and arrogant momentum, he became more and more sure that Ouyang Feng was from the Holy City.

In order to plan to proceed smoothly, in order to pave the way for the city lord, Roderick resisted the urge to dismount and salute, sat restlessly on the horse, looked at Ouyang Feng condescendingly, and wanted to say a few unkind words, but in the end he didn't dare. With a smile of bitterness, he said: "Your Excellency is so rooty (Ouyang Feng's pseudonym), right? After speaking, he glanced at the Qingfeng four who were following Ouyang Feng, and when he saw that the Qingfeng four all had the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building and the early stage of swordsmanship, he secretly sighed in his heart, the big family is the big family, just an entourage, and he has already reached this kind of cultivation at such a young age.

Roderick is a magician, with a middle-level cultivation of a magician, so it is naturally easy to see the specific cultivation of Qingfeng and others. Although it is a breeze they can suppress the level after that.

Ouyang Feng said politely: "The chief steward has won the award, and we are all very young, yes." But I haven't experienced too many things and rubbing, and there are inevitably things that can't be considered, and the chief steward has something to say, even if it's an accusation, we will gladly accept it. ”

Ouyang Feng's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they were calm but dismissive, but such words changed in Roderick's ears, especially the sentence 'accusation', which made Roderick even more shocked, and hurriedly smiled and went straight to the point, and said with a pleasant face: "What is the duty? I came this time to investigate the opinion matter, this morning, a foreman named Benedict came to me and said that he was beaten by your firm for no reason, and also robbed him of his salary, as the steward of Ula City, I naturally want to come over to investigate clearly." With that, Roderick couldn't sit still any longer, turned over and dismounted with the help of his entourage, and kept the same height as Ouyang Feng to have a conversation.

Waiting for Roderick to get off the horse, Ouyang Feng smiled faintly and said: "I know about this, I also asked someone to beat it, as for the salary, it is compensation for the losses he caused us, and it is only a part of it, and we are still liquidating the rest, and we will find the foreman to claim compensation when there is a result." As for the word of the foreman called Earth Dog, I don't think the chief steward will take it, right?"

Ouyang Feng said very resolutely, firstly, he couldn't stand the reaction of the City Lord's Mansion these days, and wanted to test the attitude of this chief steward, if the city lord really recognized the identities of his own people, or already suspected that an investigation was being launched, then Ouyang Feng should be able to see one or two from the attitude of this chief steward.

Second, if the city lord didn't suspect it and only regarded himself as an emerging force, then as the city lord, he should also react, after all, no one would let a force that was likely to pose a threat to his rule appear under his nose, Ouyang Feng also wanted to test the city lord's bottom line to see how much weight Carl's face had.

Third, in front of Andulan and Zhan Tianhu, Ouyang Feng didn't want to leave a bad impression on them as timid and afraid, so if Ouyang Feng was not soft or hard, he saved his face just right, and it served the purpose of testing Roderick's attitude.

Roderick was not displeased with Ouyang Feng's disrespectful attitude, but accepted it as a matter of course, and also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, what he said just now was not as angry as this young man who had a backer who was so powerful that he couldn't reach him.

Roderick nodded appreciatively and said, "Well, that's right, as the steward of Ula City, I won't listen to anyone's side of the story, so I'm here to investigate and give everyone justice." Your Excellency, can you tell us more about the matter?" Ouyang Feng shrugged, without opening his mouth, Andulan stepped forward, gave Roderick a deep salute, and told the truth what had happened, and also focused on the cause of the uneasy design and construction of the earth dog.

Roderick was well-informed and well-read, and knew that the thing was distorting the facts, or at least concealing the truth that was unfavorable to him, when he listened to the narration of the earth dog, and now, after listening to Andoran's narration, Roderick finally understood the truth of the matter, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that although Ouyang Feng's side has done a bit excessive, it is not without a reason to do it, in this way, Roderick can make a big fuss about this matter, even if he favors the Qingyuan Guild, others can't say anything, and after investigating the truth, he severely punished Tugou and Borg, and it can also make all the city residents feel that the City Lord's Mansion will deal with things in the face of justice, and will not show favoritism, not only to win the support of the city people and the love of the city lord, but also to leave a good impression on the Qingyuan Guild, this kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Roderick will naturally not let go。

The so-called play is a full set, Roderick nodded to Andoran, and instructed an attendant to bring the earth dog and his cousin Borg over to confront him face to face, and asked some workers and mercenaries some questions with a pleasant face, from beginning to end, Roderick did not put a big steward in front of these people, and the workers and mercenaries told the story, Roderick was smiling, as for what these people said, no one knew if Roderick listened to it or not.

Roderick finished the full cutscene, the earth dog had not yet arrived, Roderick walked to Ouyang Feng's side, you talked about it sentence by sentence, talked about interesting things from time to time, and laughed loudly, just like an old friend who had not seen each other for many years, there were endless topics.

Ouyang Feng was still very vigilant when he began to deal with Roderick's small talk, and every word he said was thoughtful and very cautious, for fear that he would say something wrong and make the other party suspicious, but gradually, Ouyang Feng found that this chief steward did not test his own details as he imagined, but tried his best to avoid this sensitive topic, and said inconsequential friendly topics that could shorten the distance between the two sides.

Ouyang Feng was very puzzled by Roderick's approach and intentions, but he could see that Roderick had no ill will towards him, but from his occasional careless tone, he could also see that the other party deliberately flattered himself。

Roderick's attitude towards Ouyang Feng, the shop owner, surprised the attendants who accompanied him, Roderick usually does not smile, and treats even the richest merchant in Ula City with a straight face, but now, he is so polite to a guy who looks young, and the entourage is not stupid, knowing that this young man must have a strong background, he can't help but look at Ouyang Feng and Qingfeng and the others behind him a few more times, keep the appearance of these people in mind, and remind himself not to offend these big people who even have to please the big man in the future。

While the two were chatting happily and Roderick Lang laughed, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the attendant who had just gone to find the earth dog came back with the earth dog, and the earth dog's cousin Borg followed closely on his own horse.

The attendant arched the earth dog off his horse, and after giving his life to Roderick, he walked to the middle of the attendant and acted as a guard, blocking the people who came to watch the excitement from a distance, and did not let them get too close.

After the earth dog dismounted, seeing Andulan and Zhan Tianhu glaring at him, but honestly staying aside and not daring to move, the earth dog raised his chin arrogantly to the two, and then hurriedly trotted all the way to Roderick, the chief steward who presided over justice for him, and bowed.
