After the city Lord finished speaking, his eyes widened and he hurriedly covered his mouth.
But since he had already said it, it was impossible for him not to return for the time being. The commoners had heard it clearly.
The mage standing at the side could only hang his head in dejection, he did not dare to confront the people directly.
Moreover, ye chen was still there.
When the commoners heard the city Lord’s words, they immediately burst into a discussion.
They weren’t stupid. Of course, they could see that they were being punished.
Sure enough, one would get retribution for doing bad things, not to mention that a person of this status was doing bad things with his own power!
He did not need to continue. Ye chen walked out from the side and said to all the people.
“I’ve gathered everyone here today to show you the true face of your city Lord. I also want to say that he wasn’t forced to do this.”
“It’s very likely that he’ll use some ridiculous excuse to disguise all this, but in reality, he’s the one who caught those monsters that aren’t dangerous at all to bleed.”
After ye chen finished speaking, everyone seemed to understand a lot more. Soon, the people began to talk again.
The waiter’s mind was very active, and he quickly realized why their city gate would sometimes be hit.
“So, those sounds should be those demon beasts asking for help from the people in the city. Who knew that we were deceived and thought that the demons outside were attacking Stone City?”
After the waiter finished speaking, everyone seemed to have been enlightened.
When they looked at the city Lord whom they had originally respected, their eyes were filled with disgust.
How could such a person be qualified to be the city Lord of Stone City? Their entire town was very close to each other.
Even if it was not a harmonious world, it was still very harmonious.
And now, this city Lord actually wanted to use them to do such a despicable thing, this was simply unforgivable!
Ye chen turned around again and did not control the city Lord. However, he used a small trick and sent a little truth-telling serum into the city Lord’s mouth.
This way, she could unknowingly hear what he was thinking. Didn’t he always say that he was the most open-minded city Lord?
At this time, he should also express his gratitude!
He wanted to see if he really had the strength to turn the tide with his sincerity and change the situation ye chen had set.
“You stupid and ignorant people, you don’t really think you’re living well, do you? Compared to the cities outside, your Stone City is a complete waste. There’s nothing there!”
“Look at the clothes you’re wearing and your so-called Festival. It’s so disgusting. You don’t even know what you’re playing all day. Do you really think you’re from a fairy tale with a mask on?”
These extremely vulgar words were blurted out, causing the originally boisterous citizens to be stunned. Didn’t their city Lord always welcome them with a smile?
Why did he suddenly become so hateful? it turned out that some people were so two-faced in private.
However, he really didn’t want to continue pretending. It was really too ugly to look like this!
Ye chen stood to the side with his arms crossed. He looked at these heavy words. She had spoken the truth from her heart without hiding anything. It was really gratifying!
The commoners were all very angry at the city Lord’s words, so they all picked up the things beside them and threw them over.
Even if this city Lord already looked like he had a bloody nose and a swollen face, he did not care about him at all. Anyway, he would no longer have this position in the future!
Ye chen saw that everyone was almost done venting, so he stood up.
“Alright, I’m here today to expose this person. Everyone, please calm down.”
“Don’t worry about this unrelated person. He’s not from your city. It’s still a holiday, so don’t let him affect your mood!”
Ye Chen’s straightforward words immediately stirred up everyone’s mood. After all, no one wanted this annoying city Lord to affect their festive atmosphere.
They had thought that there would be monsters, but it seemed that there were no more monsters. Their Festival could continue.
“The city Lord will receive the punishment he deserves. The next city Lord can be elected by your people.”
After ye chen said this, everyone finally reacted. Now that the city Lord had been dealt with, they were a city without an owner.
“However, there’s no rush for now. I hope that everyone can celebrate this Festival first, and then I’ll help everyone find a suitable person to be a city Lord.”
Ye chen clearly did not belong here but his words were inexplicably believable. Moreover, after listening to him, everyone could not help but be very obedient.
This was something that no one had realized. This might be the natural-born leader of a ruler, an aura that no one could ignore!
After ye chen had finished speaking, he ordered the heavy voices beside him to take these people away and lock them up in the prison of Stone City.
The city Lord’s plan was very good. After all, Stone City was a relatively remote city. Even if something happened, it might not be transmitted back to the capital.
However, ye chen had already expected this, so he quickly reported the matter.
Moreover, the castellan was elected in the name of Stone City, so he had to protect the city before he could continue to be the castellan.
Just as ye chen had expected, the people of Stone City had returned to normal at night.
Although this sudden interlude quickly became a topic that they would talk about after dinner, it did not affect them from continuing to celebrate the festival.
“Alright, we’ve finally settled this matter. Let’s continue staying here for the next two days. After the festival, we’ll have two days to help them choose a city Lord. Is that okay?”
Ye chen said, a little embarrassed, but su Yuhan did not care at all.
“It’s okay. I think it’s interesting. Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. I know what you want to say. Let’s go out for the festival now!”
For the remaining two days, the festive atmosphere was still very strong, and there were many kinds of street snacks.
Ye chen and the others ate all the way and walked toward the performance with bulging stomachs.
There were many people with many talents, and because they were wearing masks, no one knew who they were or what their identities were.
Therefore, everything seemed to be very pure and without any grudges.
The last few days of the festival passed by very quickly. After all, because of the city Lord’s lie, it was delayed by more than a day. The week of the festival passed in a flash.
Now that everyone had lost their city Lord, they no longer had a backbone.
However, they did not know who had made ye chen, a foreigner who knew almost nothing about the world, their temporary representative.
Therefore, the waiter had come up early and knocked on the door of ye Chen’s room.
“Master ye! I’ll need your help with the city Lord selection today.”
What ye chen did not know was that in the eyes of the people in the city, ye chen, who knew sorcery and was a very righteous person, was very qualified.
Although he wasn’t very old, his strength was outstanding. It would be absolutely fair for him to be in charge of this matter!
The most important thing in the city Lord election was to select the capable. After all, everyone was a commoner, and there was no need to look at how much spirit power they had. Most people were ordinary people.
Therefore, they had to choose an outstanding person who had the ability and was willing to make decisions for the people.
Ye chen had already made the arrangements and let the people choose some candidates on their own.
The people had also done it very quickly and had directly reduced the number of candidates. The three ye Chens only needed to pick the most suitable one from the three.
These three people were boss li of the bank in the north of the city, boss Zhang of the grain store in the south of the city, and general manager he of the square in the middle of the city.
The three of them had always been very kind to the people, so the people in the three regions all liked them.
Ye chen nodded after hearing what they said. He still felt a little troubled. After all, all three of them were kind people. He had to choose the most capable one among them.
Ye chen followed the waiter. When he arrived at the square, he saw that the three candidates were already standing there. To be honest, he could tell at a glance that these three were basically wealthy businessmen.
When they saw ye chen, the people immediately began to cheer and watched ye chen stand on the platform above.
“Alright, our Festival is over. What we need to do next is to vote for new results. These three are the three outstanding candidates that the people have chosen.”
“I don’t think I need to introduce myself too much. After all, I’m an outsider. Everyone knows each other. The next competition will be divided into two parts.”
Next, ye chen introduced the rules to everyone. He would give two questions to the three candidates for them to write the answers to.
In short, it was a dispute that would occur in the city, or a property problem.
This kind of thing happened quite often among the common people, and there were no other county magistrates or judges in Stone City who worked for the city Lord.
Therefore, it was best to leave this matter to Master Chen.
In any case, if he couldn’t even answer these two questions, or if he didn’t answer them properly, he wouldn’t have enough ability to take on this position.
After the first election method was announced, everyone was very much in agreement and the people were very happy.
This was because ye chen had said that their answers would be publicly announced. Half of the votes would be chosen by the people while the other half would be decided by ye chen.
The questions had been prepared last night, so they were quickly handed over to the subordinate next to him. He then distributed them to the three people at the three tables.
They were not close to each other, so they could not see each other at all. This was a completely independent answer.
In any case, the person who came up with the questions was ye chen, so the people were not worried about being tampered with.
Ye chen had given them an hour. Within that time, they had to complete both questions and hand them in.
The bell rang and the three of them began to answer. Ye chen observed their way of answering and their expressions as they wrote. To be honest, he found it interesting.
After all, the people who were elected had always been kind and charitable, but it did not mean that they had enough culture and understanding.
Today’s event could be considered a Grand one, so the people in the city basically didn’t work.
Instead, they all gathered here. It wouldn’t take half a day anyway, so the liveliness here looked more interesting.
An hour passed by quickly, and the three of them were almost done.
The one who wrote these was the owner of the grain store, and then the steward. These two people seemed to be more at ease, and the one who was slightly inferior was the owner of the bank.
After the other two stopped writing, the bank owner could only quickly write an ending and then stop.
Soon, their answers were hung on the wall behind the square.
There were good and bad words hanging on it. If you were in the countryside, I would have been very serious.
Ye chen started reading from the first one and finished reading all three of their answers. Then, he already had his own answer in his heart. The people below could also read it.
Ye Chen’s two questions were very tricky. In short, it took a lot of time for the three of them to think about it.
Now that the answer was out, it was easy to tell who was stronger and who was weaker.
At the sight of the two people’s answers, the boss of the bank took the initiative to say that with a smile.
“I’m just an uncouth fellow who doesn’t have the ability to be the city Lord. Just let me leave the stage on my own, so that I won’t be eliminated later. Thank you for your votes. From now on, I’ll be more serious in doing my job.”
After the bank owner finished speaking, he walked down the stage amidst everyone’s applause, leaving only the grain store owner and the manager.
In ye Chen’s opinion, these two people’s literary talents were not much different. However, upon closer inspection, it was better to be in charge.
After all, people with positions knew a lot about the People’s Affairs.
The owner of the grain store was more inclined to the people around him, so his answer was not as comprehensive as the manager ‘s.
In the eyes of the people, the remaining two people were equally matched, so they had to proceed to the second round, which would also be won by talent.
The problem just now was to solve the problem of the commoners. Now, the next thing to do was to deal with the affairs of the city Lord’s mansion as a city Lord.
There were also attacks from the outside world. This time, there was only one question. After the two of them finished answering, they could directly see who was more capable.
“This time, we’ll give you a longer time. Even though there’s only one question, it’s a question that will determine the final candidate, and it’s a lot more difficult.”
