Normally, the City Lord of a city would have to respect the descendants of the meritorious officials, especially those with meritorious service.
But this City Lord didn't care.
In the past, he didn't respect these people and only treated them as servants.
But at that time, he still had some scruples and didn't find trouble with the descendants of the meritorious officials. But this time, he directly took action against a Mansion Master. There were only twelve Mansion Masters in the entire Wind Cloud City.
Every one of them was a meritorious official or a descendant of a meritorious official when the city was built.
But now.
The City Lord came to Dong Ting Mansion to snatch someone and even slapped the Mansion Master in public.
This was obviously going to lose the hearts of the people.
But he didn't seem to care about losing the hearts of the people.
In his eyes, as long as the Military Advisor was around, nothing would happen to Wind Cloud City.
"What other questions do you have?" The City Lord looked at the Mansion Master impatiently.
Powerless!
For the first time, the Mansion Master felt so powerless. He hated himself for being so useless that he couldn't even protect his own daughter. This was really too cowardly.
He was moved!
The moment Princess Lele saw her father being slapped, she was finally moved.
Her appearance was delicate and pitiful. At this moment, the way she looked at her father was even more pitiful and pitiful.
Seeing the look in his daughter's eyes, the Mansion Master walked up again. "City Lord, my daughter has already married someone else. That means she is someone else's wife. You are the City Lord and I respect you. But by doing this, you are ruining the reputation of Dong Ting Mansion and Wind Cloud City. How can a woman who has already married someone else leave with the City Lord?"
His eyes were filled with determination.
For his daughter, he was going all out.
Even if he had to risk his life, he wouldn't hesitate.
The City Lord looked at the housekeeper beside the Mansion Master. "How many years have you been with him?"
"Reporting to the City Lord, more than four thousand years," the housekeeper said.
"Men, arrest him. Tomorrow afternoon, execute him at the city gate. Let me think about the charges …"
Child's play!
This was child's play. He was simply killing the chicken to scare the monkey. There was no charge at all. He was just thinking about it.
"Oh right, charge him with disrespecting me," the City Lord said directly.
The butler's expression was very ugly.
The chief of Dongting Prefecture was also on the verge of breaking down. He hurriedly said, "My Lord, the people below are not sensible. Please don't blame them. Please forgive them this time."
"It doesn't matter if the people below are not sensible, but I'm afraid that the people above are also not sensible. I really don't know if it's because their merits are so high that they can intimidate the emperor, or are they blackmailing the emperor to order his vassals?" The City Lord looked at the Manor Lord. His words were clearly meant for the Manor Lord. His meaning was clear. He didn't want to force him to put these crimes on the Manor Lord.
There was no bottom line!
In the past, the people here had more or less heard some things about the City Lord, heard that he was unbridled and reckless.
However, no one expected that he would do things without a bottom line.
"Oh right, you said that it's time for the wedding ceremony. If I were to snatch it, it would ruin Wind Cloud City's reputation, right? I remember that when I came here, they hadn't paid their respects to Wind Cloud City yet, right? That doesn't count as the end of the ceremony, right? "The Castellan looked directly at the Mansion Master of Dongting Mansion.
Hearing this, the Mansion Master of Dongting Mansion started to blame Xiatian in his heart.
The City Lord was a person who could find a reason even if he didn't give a reason. If he were to give a reason, then it would be troublesome.
He definitely wouldn't let it go.
"City Lord, can you give us, the Dongting Mansion, a way out? Back then, my father accompanied the old City Lord on his expeditions to the East and West. In the end, he died in battle while protecting Wind Cloud City. I have participated in seventy-two major and minor battles for Wind Cloud City, and I have 682 wounds all over my body. I will use these to exchange for the City Lord to give my family a way out. I am willing to hand over all my military authority and wealth, and leave Wind Cloud City with my children. " The Mansion Master of Dongting Mansion was completely out of ideas. He was completely disappointed with Wind Cloud City.
This was no longer the place that he used to protect with his life.
He was willing to give up everything just to protect his daughter and family.
"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Do you think I lack anything? Furthermore, I can add another crime to your name. Since you actually want to betray Wind Cloud City, I can treat you as a traitor and deal with you accordingly. "The City Lord's aura was very strong. The moment he said those words, everyone present tensed up.
Everyone knew.
The City Lord was a temperamental person. His words could change the fate of a person or a family.
If he said that he wanted to kill now, then the surrounding guards would directly take action.
When that time came, the Dongting Mansion would be filled with blood.
This was the City Lord.
At this moment, the Mansion Master of Dongting Mansion finally understood how stupid he was. He was still hoping that he would take out his last bargaining chip to negotiate. However, the City Lord didn't care about this at all.
"Lailei, you don't want anything to happen to your father, right?"
Threat!
The City Lord started to threaten her. At the beginning, he was tempting her. But now, he was directly threatening her.
Princess Lailei raised her head and looked at the City Lord in front of her. "If I go with you, will you let my family go?"
She spoke.
Very few people had heard Princess Lailei speak.
Her voice was very pleasant to the ears.
She was still so delicate and pitiful.
"Of course. As long as you agree, your father's status will instantly rise. No matter what they do in the city in the future, no one will dare to do anything to them. If they are willing to leave, I can let them go. After all, other than you, I am not interested in anyone else in Dongting Mansion." The City Lord's face revealed a trace of a smile.
Then, he was about to pull Princess Lailei away.
Silence!
Everyone's eyes were on his hand.
However, just as he was about to hold Princess Lailei's hand, another hand took it away.
Frozen!
The air seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Everyone was stunned.
"I think that there is no need for the last bow because there is no need to bow to a city like this. Don't you think so?" Xiatian held Princess Lailei's hand and revealed a trace of a smile on his face. "My bride!"
Wow!
Everyone present opened their mouths wide. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
It could be said that.
Just now, these people had ignored Xiatian because in their eyes, Xiatian was already a dead man. The City Lord would never let him go. Of course, this kind of thing didn't need to be said by the City Lord himself. His guards would kill Xiatian.
But now!
