Book 1, Chapter 419, End of Book 1
Dongfang Mei pretended to be sad as she said, "I'm not sure either; my husband suddenly coughed up blood and died."
A white-haired elder asked, "Then why did you cremate the City Lord's corpse so quickly? Such a big matter should be reported to the higher-ups."
Dongfang Mei did not know how to reply.
Zhao Fu stood up and said, "I'll take responsibility for this matter. If there's anything else, you can leave now."
Everyone looked at Zhao Fu, and a young man asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Fu smiled as he replied, "I'm Dongfang Jun, and I'm Han City's highest-ranking Deacon."
The Deacons looked at Zhao Fu with serious expressions. They had just received news that Han City's highest-ranking Deacon had been replaced, but not long after, the City Lord had died. This matter was simply too strange, and the City Lord's death had a lot to do with this person in front of them.
Zhao Fu did not want to waste words and continued to say, "I'll go find Deacon Dongfang Hu and take over the position of City Lord."
Everyone came to their senses; it turned out that Zhao Fu was Dongfang Hu's subordinate, and it was possible that Dongfang Hu wanted to get rid of Dongfang Kong. No one had any objections; they could only obey and could not resist.
Some people not only did not ask how Dongfang Kong had died, but they instead started to congratulate Zhao Fu.
After taking care of these matters, Zhao Fu went to where Dongfang Hu was.
Dongfang Hu felt quite surprised, "Why have you come to find me?"
Zhao Fu said, "Dongfang Kong has died and I want to take over the position of City Lord."
Dongfang Hu slightly frowned and looked at Zhao Fu as he asked, "His death has something to do with you?"
Zhao Fu did not want to hide anything and nodded before telling Dongfang Hu what Dongfang Kong had said.
Dongfang Hu felt quite angry, "Dongfang Kong deserves to die!"
After a while, Dongfang Hu looked at Zhao Fu and said, "Even though he deserves to die, what is your purpose? I didn't want to ask, but I think you must have some other purpose. "
Zhao Fu said with a smile, "What purpose can I have? I just want to obtain higher power. Don't you want that?"
Dongfang Hu laughed and said. "Me too!"
Zhao Fu smiled and said, "I want to become the City of Han's City Lord. I wonder if you can agree?"
Dong Fang Hu looked at Zhao Fu and said, "I believe that in the future, your status will not be weaker than mine. We will still be of the same generation, and I can appoint you as the City of Han's City Lord."
Zhao Fu smiled and said, "Thank you! Brother Tiger. "
Dongfang Hu smiled and said, "You're welcome. I might need your help in the future."
After resolving this matter, Zhao Fu became Han City's City Lord. It had only been a day since Zhao Fu had arrived at Han City, and yet Zhao Fu's status had changed so much.
Dongfang He was also promoted to be the steward of the City Lord Mansion.
Dongfang He smiled; it seemed that he had made the right choice. He had a premonition that his status would become even higher.
Zhao Fu did not have any other plans for becoming the City Lord for now because raising his status would attract too much attention. As such, Zhao Fu decided to take this position for now.
A beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure and a virtuous aura wearing white mourning clothes and a pure-looking young girl walked in. She bowed to Zhao Fu and said, "Sir City Lord, please give me my husband's ashes so that I can help him build a tomb."
Zhao Fu felt quite strange and asked, "You are?"
The beautiful woman replied, "My name is Dongfang Qing, and this is my daughter, Dongfang Yue. Dongfang Kong was my ex-husband."
Zhao Fu continued to ask, "What's going on?"
Dongfang Qing gave a simple explanation. It turned out that Dongfang Kong had a wife and daughter, but he was too infatuated with Dongfang Mei. In order to curry favor with Dongfang Mei, he divorced his wife, and Dongfang Qing took his daughter to live in a nearby City.
Hearing that Dongfang Kong had passed away, Dongfang Qing remembered their past relationship and wanted to help Dongfang Kong with his funeral matters.
Zhao Fu looked at Dongfang Qing. In actuality, Dongfang Qing was quite a beauty, but to ordinary people, Dongfang Mei was more attractive.
Facing Zhao Fu's gaze, Dongfang Qing frowned and said, "Sir City Lord, please conduct yourself!"
Zhao Fu retracted his gaze and smiled as he said, "I can give Dongfang Kong's ashes to you, but you have to agree to a request of mine."
Dongfang Qing had already guessed Zhao Fu's goal and she said with a cold expression, "I won't agree to such an unreasonable request."
Zhao Fu laughed as he said, "It just so happens that this is an unreasonable request of mine!"
Dongfang Qing's beautiful eyes glared at Zhao Fu as she said, "I never thought that the new City Lord would be such a bastard; he's simply scum."
Dongfang Yue said angrily, "Big brother Dongfang Bai is pursuing my mother; if you dare to harm us, big brother Dongfang Bai won't let you off."
Zhao Fu walked over to the two of them and smiled as he asked, "Who is Dongfang Bai?"
Dongfang Yue said confidently, "He's the City Lord of the nearby Willow City, and he's even more powerful than you."
Zhao Fu smiled and nodded as he took out a wooden box and said, "I'll give this to you."
Seeing that Zhao Fu was afraid of Dongfang Bai, Dongfang Qing inwardly let out a sigh of relief and took the wooden box.
Dongfang Yue revealed a smile. She also liked Dongfang Bai. She really wanted her mother to be with Dongfang Bai, but her mother had always tactfully refused, saying that she had a husband. Now that her father was dead, her mother should be able to be with big brother Dongfang Bai.
When she was four or five years old, Dongfang Yue had left with Dongfang Qing, and she did not have much feelings for her father.
Dongfang Qing bowed and smiled as she said, "Thank you, sir City Lord!"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "You're welcome!"
After speaking, Zhao Fu hugged Dongfang Qing. Dongfang Qing had never thought that Zhao Fu would act like this and hurriedly struggled.
Dongfang Yue was startled and angrily went up, wanting to pull away Zhao Fu, this bastard.
A few hours later, Zhao Fu smiled as he looked at the mother and daughter in his arms, "You're both not bad. Dongfang Kong doesn't cherish you, so I'll cherish you."
Dongfang Qing angrily and embarrassedly glared at Zhao Fu.
Dongfang Yue looked at Zhao Fu with a red face and looked at Zhao Fu's perfect face, seeming to be entranced and not thinking about big brother Dongfang Bai.
Zhao Fu said, "If you want to help Dongfang Kong build a tomb, I'll get people to do it. In the future, you can stay in Han City!"
Dongfang Qing replied, "No, Willow City is our home now."
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I'll go with you and bring the family over."
Dongfang Yue said, "If big brother Dongfang Bai knows that you've done such a thing for us, he'll definitely kill you."
Zhao Fu said confidently, "Don't worry, I won't be harmed in any way."
Dongfang Qing pouted, "Who's worried about your safety?"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I'll go with you then!"
