"Haha, they won't." Patriarch Hong smiled and said, "From the news I just received, the people in the City Lord's Manor should have already bowed to the Ghost Doctor. I think the other aristocratic families should have more or less received the news. After all, the people who were caught by the City Lord have already been released."
In the Hong Manor, Patriarch Hong and his wife were talking about this in the study. The other aristocratic families also received some news as Patriarch Hong had guessed.
"Did something happen in the City Lord's Manor? Why did they say that the people who were caught by the City Lord have already been released this evening? "An old man asked.
A middle-aged man said, "I've already sent people to find out. They should be back soon."
As he said that, a man walked in quickly. "Patriarch, I've already found out the news."
"Speak." The middle-aged man gestured.
"Early this morning, a woman in red riding a white horse was brought into the City Lord's Manor. It's said that the City Lord is now unconscious. The City Lord's wife was tampered with because she offended the woman in red and can't speak. A few of the guests in the City Lord's Manor have been disabled. Now, those few Elders and some of the managers in the City Lord's Manor have already bowed to the woman."
The people in the hall were surprised. "Bowed to the woman? To a woman? "
"Yes." That man nodded and said, "It's said that they want to elect a new person to be the City Lord. The commoners who left in the evening seemed to have been let out because of the woman in red. They were even given their wages."
Hearing this, the people in the hall were moved. "Elect a new person to be the City Lord? Once the castellan falls, only those elders in the castellan's mansion have the ability to be castellan. However, those elders are too old, I'm afraid … "
The man who was reporting had a strange expression. "Patriarch, I've received news that the City Lord isn't chosen in the City Lord's Manor. I heard that the woman in red even went to the Hong Clan today."
Hearing this, shock appeared on their faces. "Hong Clan? Could it be that they want to push the Hong Clan up? Now that the Hong Family's Old Master Hong has collapsed due to illness, and the strength of that person from the Hong Family isn't the strongest among the few Family Heads, how can he become the City Lord of this city? "
"If she has the support of a few elders from the City Lord's Mansion, then it's not impossible. However, where did this red-clothed woman come from? He actually has such great ability to make the people in the City Lord's Mansion bow down to him? "The old man at the side pondered. He was a little surprised.
"I can't find out anything about that. Currently, only a few elders in the City Lord's Mansion and the Hong Clan have come into contact with that red-clothed lady."
Hearing this, the few people in the hall looked at each other. The elder who was deep in thought said, "Family Head, why don't we pay a visit to the Hong Clan tomorrow morning and ask around?"
"Alright." The middle-aged man nodded.
The other aristocratic families were also discussing this matter. One of the patriarchs of one of the aristocratic families proposed to pay a visit to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow morning to see the situation, but he was stopped by an old man.
"If we go to the City Lord's Mansion now, we probably won't even be able to enter the main door. Now that the City Lord's Mansion is not peaceful, they probably won't receive guests. It's better to go to the Hong Clan." The old man said in a low voice. After thinking about it again and again, he felt that it was better to go to the Hong Clan first to ask about the situation.
