Chapter 432: Urgent Deliberation
Thinking like this, he was even more anxious in his heart, and after waiting for another quarter of an hour, Yu Renze asked the servant in a little panic: "What is the city lord Fang busy with, can you go and ask for help, and there will be a lot of thanks when you turn back." [Ran^Text^Library] []”
"The Yu Pavilion Master does not have to be polite, the servants in the lower mansion are not sensible, if there is any neglect, please bear with the Yu Pavilion Master. Suddenly, a hearty voice sounded in the distance, and after a brisk footstep, a young monk appeared in front of him.
Yu Renze really didn't expect that this new city lord looked so young, he looked like he was only in his twenties, but he had already built a foundation, who would dare to despise such a young talent. I also believe in those rumors a little in my heart, only a big force like the Su family can cultivate such an impressive monk.
If Fang Yan knew that he was thinking like this, he was afraid that he would spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and every time he thought of his foundation, he was indignant in his heart, but fortunately, everything had passed. It may be because of the cultivation of pure yang gong, the appearance of the dialect does not match his real age, in fact, he is thirty-five or sixteen years old, but he still looks like a handsome descendant.
However, building a foundation at this age may not be anything to some big forces, they have never lacked talented disciples, nor have they lacked a cultivation environment and conditions for the growth of disciples, not to mention things like pills, and of course the disciples in the sect are growing rapidly. But for some small sects, this is already very remarkable, and it was like this when they left the Fire Gate, and the disciples who built the foundation before the age of fifty were all regarded as treasures.
And Fang Yan was so calm and sophisticated, which made Yu Renze panic for no reason, and when he saw Fang Yan coming to the front quickly, he replied with some words: "How dare you, what a noble place the City Lord's Mansion is, there will be people who are not sensible, much more sensible than those in the lower mansion." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Renze regretted it, these servants were the old men in the city lord's mansion, what did it have to do with dialects, and it would not be his turn to praise these people. From this, he thought of the day when the dialect came, he deliberately sent someone to find out the truth. I'm afraid that the dialect has been perceived, so it is easy to give rise to ambiguity in the reply, which makes people think about it.
Yu Renze, who had always prided himself on planning and then acting, was a little confused at this time, and he never imagined that he would be so unbearable in front of this young monk. Fortunately, Fang Yan did not delve into it, but turned to ask him about his intentions, but he never mentioned the matter that made him wait here for nearly an hour, and Yu Renze did not dare to ask. He had already guessed that the tongue was deliberate.
In the end, it was the master of the first pavilion, Yu Renze quickly stabilized his mind. He said as calmly as possible: "I came here to make a special trip to ask the city lord Fang for sin, and when the city lord came that day, he happened to be on an errand outside, and he didn't come back in time to greet him, which is really rude." After returning today, I heard from my subordinates about this matter, so I immediately rushed to ask for the guilt, and also asked the lord of the city to punish him. ”
These words are complete, and he did go out to deal with a dispute with a local family a few days ago, and at this time, Yu Renze's expression full of guilt. It usually gives him a lot of extra points. Who knew that Fang Yan looked at him with a smile, and did not take his words, but stopped like this, and left his words here, so that he could not say any more when he was ready.
"The affairs of the Shang Pavilion are so busy, and they even have to work for the Yu Pavilion Master to go in person, it must be a great business. It's just the middle of the year. What other big business does the Yu Pavilion Master have to handle personally? I just ask casually, but I don't dare to meddle in the affairs of the Shang Pavilion, and if it is inconvenient for the Yu Pavilion Master, I can not say anything. Fang Yan asked suddenly.
"It's not a big business, it's just that my subordinates don't know how to do things, and they have encountered a little trouble when buying goods. I had to come forward to say yes. Although the Shangge was opened in Xiancheng, in the final analysis, it was also a businessman, and he paid attention to harmony and wealth, so he had to make a trip, but he missed such an important thing, and he regretted it very much when he thought about it. ”
The man seemed to be speaking for himself, and his tone was humble. But it also cleverly used this to point out the special identity of the Shang Pavilion. Although the Shang Pavilion is only in charge of transactions, it was opened here by Xiancheng, and he is said to be able to directly obey the orders of the General Pavilion of Xiancheng, at least logically, obviously he is still a little unconvinced by Fang Yan in his heart.
"Oh, troublesome, there are still people in the jurisdiction of this city lord who dare to ask for trouble with the Shang Pavilion, don't you know that the Shang Pavilion is directly under the Immortal City, this has to be blamed. The master of the Yu Pavilion does not have to be polite, just say it bluntly, whoever dares to find the Shang Pavilion is uncomfortable, and he will definitely regret it. Fang Yan pretended not to understand, and stared directly at the word trouble, what he wanted was trouble, how could he make these people obey without this thing.
Anyway, he didn't want to compete with them for benefits, but to let them learn to abide by the rules, do things honestly under him, and not cause trouble to the dialect, in his opinion, cultivation is the most important thing. But he has already occupied the position of the city lord, and as soon as he comes here, there are people who deliberately cause trouble, if he doesn't beat the arrogance of these people, let alone cultivate quietly, I'm afraid it is unknown whether he can stay here.
And where did Yu Renze know what Fang Yan was thinking, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, Fang Yan seemed to have the meaning of using the topic to play, and hurriedly said: "No, no, the city lord has misunderstood, no one wants to trouble Shang Ge, it's just a little misunderstanding, and it has been calmed down." ”
"That's not good, if this matter is stabbed to Xiancheng, this kind of thing happened when the city lord just came, how will the Xiancheng side explain, and how will these hard-working monks in Shangyuan City treat it in the future. This wind can't grow, and you have to pinch it off with your hands as soon as there are signs, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Come here, immediately invite the two deputy city lords to come, and all the stewards, to meet in the council hall!" Fang Yan shouted loudly, ignoring Yu Renze's explanation.
"Pavilion Master Yu, there is no need to explain to them, the matter may not be big, and it has not caused any loss to the Shang Pavilion, but no matter how small the matter is, as long as the rules are broken, the city lord will not be soft. The Yu Pavilion Lord thinks that the matter is over, but people may not appreciate it, maybe it will get worse next time, and it will eventually reach the point when it can't be cleaned up. ”
As soon as this passage of the dialect is said, there is already a pun meaning, as long as you dare to break the rules, no matter how small things must be investigated, this seems to have been pointed out, Yu Renze heard how to dare to persuade him, otherwise he really wanted to attract all the anger of the dialect. The most uncomfortable thing for him is the matter of dialect excuses, the family affairs are in charge of Chang Qing, so doesn't this make him face Chang Qing head-on, at least he will think that he is suing him in the back.
This hand is too vicious, but Yu Renze has no way to stop it, the dialect has already disrupted all his rules, and now the only hope is that Chang Qing can understand his situation and explain it to him in detail afterwards.
Soon after the assembly hall arrived, two Zhuji monks hurried in with angry faces, one of them was Guan Mu, who had brought the dialect into the city that day, and the other was Changqing, who had been refusing to show up. The city lord summoned him for the first time, and he had something important to discuss, how could the two of them dare not come, no one would let the dialect easily grasp such mistakes, and they rushed over immediately after hearing the news.
It's just that the time of the dialect is too good, and there is nothing to do for a few days, but something important is coming so late, how can it be so coincidental, it shouldn't be that the dialect has made any big moves. The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were not in harmony, and they sat in the hall without saying anything, and they only waited for the dialect to come with a straight face.
After a short time, Fang Yan walked in expressionlessly, followed by Yu Renze, who looked worried, and squeezed his eyebrows at Chang Qing from time to time. I didn't know about this dialect, and Su Yanzhao and Qingluan behind the two of them also walked in, but they didn't know what the dialect was about.
After sitting down, Fang Yan didn't speak immediately, but glanced at everyone with a slight majesty, especially the deputy city lord Chang Qing, who was secretly competing with him. I saw that this person looked middle-aged, dressed as a Confucian student, with a fair complexion and a thin face, and his beard and makeup were meticulously cleaned up.
However, his cultivation is not low, and he has three layers of foundation, which is the highest cultivation among the several foundation building monks here. No wonder Fang Yan was very unconvinced to be the city lord, plus he was from the Chang family of the Xiancheng family, and he wanted to come here to be a prestige, but if he wanted to spread his resentment on Fang Yan's head, it would be a complete miscalculation.
"Bringing you here is a matter of great importance to discuss. Just now, the Lord of the Shang Pavilion told the Lord of the City about something, which shocked Zaixia, and someone dared to deliberately make things difficult for the Shang Pavilion, and it was not far from Shangyuan City, under the jurisdiction of the Lord of the City. What is this trying to do? Is it just a matter of doing a little good?"
Fang Yan's face sank, and he continued to say bitterly: "Maybe you think that this is just a trivial matter, but this city lord doesn't think so. What kind of place is Shangge, it is an important place of commerce and trade under the rule of Xiancheng, and it is related to the interests of Xiancheng, but some people do this deliberately, do they want to tell Xiancheng that the lord of the city is incompetent and has no way to rule, or do they want to provoke the relationship between Shangyuan City and Xiancheng? Although the matter is small, his heart can be punished! You are all veterans in this field, and I believe that you can all see through the key points, and how to deal with it, talk about it. ”
Before everyone spoke, Yu Renze couldn't sit still, listening to the tone of the dialect, it was clear that he was complaining, and he immediately got up and said a few words. Unexpectedly, Fang Yan had already taken precautions, and said loudly: "Pavilion Lord Yu doesn't need to be angry, if you have any opinions, I'll talk to the city lord later." Now it's time for the Acropolis to discuss internally, or listen to your opinions first. ”
Yu Renze had to sit down with a sneering face, the dialect was right, although he was here, he was not an acropolis, how could he speak on such an occasion. Fang Yan's words seemed polite, and he deliberately showed outsiders a posture of trying his best to defend the Shang Pavilion, but in fact, he was pushing him to the front, and using his excuse to rectify others, Yu Renze secretly complained in his heart.
In this way, the Shang Pavilion was placed on the opposite side of everyone, and those families under it were investigated, isn't it just to suppress the evergreen forces in public, a matter of obviousness. But Fang Yan did this from the height of safeguarding the interests of Xiancheng, and what he said was also reasonable, Yu Renze was shut by him again, no one knew if the two had reached some kind of tacit understanding, it seemed that no matter what they said, they would offend people, and the hall was silent for a while.
