After being busy for a long time, getting more and more westward, Jiang Yu felt that the time was almost up, and said in his heart that if Hongrou outside didn't see him for a long time, he was afraid that he would be in a hurry. He hugged the sleeping Mei'er and said goodbye to the women, saying that he would come again tomorrow. I'm leaving for now. He carried Mei'er out of the magic circle, returned to his bedroom, put Mei'er on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and when he looked back, he found that outside his door, there was a woman's figure, standing motionless.

"Is it Hongrou?" Jiang Yu asked, he knew that Hongrou would come to his door every morning and wait for him to call her, wait for him to wash up, and so on.

"Is the master already up?" asked Hongrou in a low voice.

When Jiang Yu heard this, he answered softly, and then said, "But I'm still a little sleepy." Jiang Yu held his forehead, and said in his heart that after losing his aura, he did it

Then I heard Hongrou say: "Then do you need Hongrou to inform them that the city will be delayed?"

"City meeting!" Jiang Yu heard this, a spirit, sat up, today is the last day of the end of the month, according to the rules of the Shenwu Sect, each city will hold a city meeting on the last day to review and summarize the various major events of the month, or rewards or punishments. As far as Jiang Yu is concerned, after he became the city lord, he has not held a city meeting.

"Go and wait for me in the yard. Jiang Yu commanded. After a thousand blessings outside, Hongrou left the door and went to the yard to prepare things for Jiang Yu to wash. Jiang Yu walked out cautiously, after washing up and having breakfast. Take Hongrou and go to the council hall in Muyun City.

The council hall in Muyun City is only used when the city meeting is held. Although the sun had just risen, when Jiang Yu and Hongrou arrived at the council hall, they were still a little late, and the important ministers of Muyun City had already arrived. Including the nine deacons in charge, the stewards of the Shenwu Sect, and the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as some local nobles and wealthy businessmen who came purely to observe and watch the ceremony. There are no crowds, but there are certainly hundreds of people, and it is almost the same to say that it is a small event.

When Jiang Yu did not arrive, there were still noisy voices at the scene, and when Jiang Yu sat down on the high seat of his city lord, the scene was silent.

Jiang Yu was about to announce the start of the city meeting, but he found that in the position below his left hand, there was a trembling person, and two people were supporting him, it was Chief Liang.

"Liang Da ......" Jiang Yu wanted to call Brother Liang, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and coughed and said: "Manager Liang, you are seriously injured, you should recuperate at home." The city meeting is important, but you also need to take care of your health. ”

When Chief Liang heard this, he shook his head and said, "The city lord doesn't have to worry about me, I'm fine, it's not good if the rules are broken." Manager Liang said this, and Jiang Yu nodded.

Manager Liang was willing to come, not because he wanted to give Jiang Yu face, but simply because he and Jiang Yu's current interests were closely related, if Jiang Yu's first city meeting did not go smoothly, the consequences would be very serious. And if it goes on smoothly, if Jiang Yu reuses others, then he will suffer a big loss. So even though he needed two people to help him, he still came.

Jiang Yu then announced the start of the city meeting. The rules of the city council are the nine deacons who inform the city in advance. One after another, the first to come up was the left deacon who was in charge of the garrison work in the city, and the content of the report was roughly that the world was peaceful, and there was no meaning for. But as soon as he finished speaking, several representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as some people from the prestigious clan, immediately stood up.

"Lord Castle, we have something to say!"

Jiang Yu glanced at them and said, "Please speak." ”

"Lord of the City, you know that Muyun City was sacked by thieves last night. Most of our grain merchants have been looted. I don't know Deacon Zuo, how dare you say that there is nothing in the world?"

"Several of our grain depots have also been emptied. The lord of the castle wants to give us an explanation!"

......

For a while, the crowd was excited, and it seemed that the mistakes of losing things were all the fault of Deacon Zuo. Looking at Deacon Zuo, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little pity for him in his heart. Xin said that even if he was doing security work, no matter how many people he had, he couldn't stop a heavenly monarch from being a thief.

Jiang Yu put on a straight face, and asked Deacon Zuo below: "Is there really such a thing?" When Deacon Zuo heard this, his mouth moved, and he said after a while: "My subordinates don't know about last night's incident." He looked back at the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the people of the prestigious clan, and then turned back to Jiang Yu and said: "My subordinates feel strange, how can so many merchants be stolen at the same time, and all they lose are grain, like such a means, I am afraid that there are thousands of people who can't do it." Although he is stupid, there are so many soldiers in the city that it is impossible not to find them at all. ”

Deacon Zuo has something to say, and what he means is naturally that those people are wronging him. And at this moment, I saw the chubby deacon Wang who was in charge of the treasury come out and said, "Tell the city lord that the grain in the treasury last night was also moved, and his subordinates are planning to report this morning, what is the ......?"

"It seems that if this is the case......" Jiang Yu looked at Deacon Zuo below. Deacon Zuo was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, and I ask the city lord to read that his subordinates are the first offenders, so bypass his subordinates." ”

Seeing him kowtow like garlic, the people of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the people of the prestigious clan, all watched coldly. Jiang Yu pondered for a while, and said: "It's easy to kill you, but if you kill you, you can't catch the thief, and now there is no more suitable substitute, so let's punish you for a year, and by the way, you have to make meritorious service and catch the thief as soon as possible." Do you understand?" After saying these words, Jiang Yu laughed in his heart, and said in his heart that if you can catch Yang Shen, then you will really see a ghost.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Deacon Zuo immediately kowtowed again and again, calling the city lord wise. You must know that there was such a big theft case, if Gu Xiuwu was there, I am afraid that even if Deacon Zuo did not die, he would have his legs broken. The fine is only one year, which is very light.

Jiang Yu looked at the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who were still watching coldly, as well as those from the noble family. Knowing that they were dissatisfied, he said, "Your losses will be replenished by the city." But I also have one condition, that is, the price of grain in the city must be flattened within three days, you know? If the price of grain is unstable, not only will I not make up for your losses, but I will also ask for your heads. ”

Lost something, the city lord paid for it, this is the first time in the sky, those people listened, and they all saluted and thanked him. They have said that they will stabilize food prices. Jiang Yu looked at their appearance, and said in his heart, I should have bought it with you.

The nine deacons, one by one, the other deacons don't have much to do, and it has to do with the accounts, so Jiang Yu asked Chief Liang and Hongrou to look at them, after all, the former is experienced, and the latter is to manage the accounts for himself.

After working for a long time, the last deacon came up to report, and all the eyes of the people were focused on him.

Because he is a horse deacon.

Every time the city meeting, Deacon Ma is the last to appear, and he is completely different from other deacons, he only pays an account book every time, even if he does not report. Even so, these wealthy businessmen in Muyun City also know what he does.

The Shenwu Sect was in the foreign ocean, and more than a thousand people were killed, and this news has now spread to Muyun City, and the people in Muyun City are all amazed at who has such a means and dares to go against the Shenwu Sect. And in addition to being surprised that everyone has such ability, they also want to see the excitement and see what will happen to Deacon Ma.

It stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with Deacon Ma, after all, he has already delivered.

But the problem is that the people of the Seven Cities have been robbed, and the City Lords of the Seven Cities are guilty according to the rules of the Shenwu Sect, and the City Lord can't escape, let alone Deacon Ma who manages this matter. And it's not the city lord who is really in charge of this. So this black cauldron, Deacon Ma is determined.

Deacon Ma also knew that he would not be able to escape any more disasters, and when he walked up, he was trembling, obviously not in good spirits.

Jiang Yu took the account book handed over by Deacon Ma from Hongrou's hand and glanced at it casually. Throwing it aside, he asked, "Deacon Ma, are you guilty?"

"Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know. Deacon Ma hurriedly knelt down and did not dare to raise his head.

Jiang Yu looked at Deacon Ma, and said in his heart that other deacons were okay, they were doing their duty, even if they were doing things for the Shenwu Sect, they were all excusable. Only this deacon helped to abuse, and it was not a pity to die. Jiang Yu was thinking about how to use to kill this deacon Ma reasonably and legally, when he suddenly saw three people coming from the sky, the leader of the man, dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by two women in similar clothes to him.

Jiang Yu's eyes were sharp, and he could see that the three people were from the Shenwu Sect, and they were also wearing the clothes of the Shenwu Sect. But in an instant, the three people fell, and when they saw the three people, the people at the scene, they whispered. The reason is not different, the people present are either from the Shenwu Sect, or they are very familiar with the Shenwu Sect. Naturally, everyone knew that these three people who came were sent by the Holy Altar of the Shenwu Sect.

The three monks landed on the ground, very arrogant, which can be described as arrogant. The man at the head looked like he was in his early thirties, and the two women behind him looked like they were only in their twenties. After they landed, they saw the leader of the people, took out a token in his hand, and shouted: "Sect Master Jun aims for this!"

In a word, huhulala, the people around fell to their knees. Only Jiang Yu and Hongrou never knelt down. Seeing that Jiang Yu was not kneeling, the man at the head said angrily: "City Lord Jiang, why don't you kneel when you see Jun Zhi?"

Jiang Yu smiled coldly and said, "In the past, when I joined the command of City Lord Gu, I had an appointment with City Lord Gu, and it was true that I joined the Shenwu Sect, but it was just an employment relationship. You pay, and I do the work for you. If you don't like it, just shoot it in half. If you think I'm not fit to be the lord of the city, then someone else. If you want to give you kneeling minions, please find someone else. Jiang Yu knew very well in his heart that although these three envoys seemed to be from the altar, they didn't have the right to dispose of themselves.

"Bold, so disrespectful!"

"Jun aims to be here, as if the sect master is here in person!"

......

The two women sang and harmonized, accusing Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu waved his hand and said, "It's noisy, aren't you here to recite the Jun Decree? ”

"You ......" The two women were furious and wanted to step forward. But the man with the token stopped them. As Jiang Yu thought, they had no right to touch themselves, and the life and death of the city lord was in the hands of the sect master. The reason for this is to prevent others in the sect from taking control of overseas cities. Ensuring the centralization of the suzerain's power.

After Jiang Yu gradually understood this world, he began to understand that in terms of his own merits in defeating Wei Jianxing, being a city lord in the Shenwu Sect was a very small one, and if he went to other sects, he was afraid that there would be a lot of people to choose from. The so-called strange goods are really rude, and the sect master of the Shenwu Sect should not treat himself well, after all, talents are rare.
