() Hundreds of soldiers from the city guard rushed into the market, chasing down the protesting people and merchants, tearing down the stalls of the vendors, and smashing the goods they relied on to make a living. This happened very quickly, and Luo Manduo also
We don't understand what's going on, but the market is already in chaos.
"Sir, that man with a beard is the deputy commander of the City Guards. His name is Zhong Shan. He took over Zou Xin's position after Zou Xin's death. Now, the City Guards are headed by him. Yesterday, he also carried a heavy
Li came to say congratulations." Zang Fen remembered these little things very clearly. He was also more familiar with these people in front of him than Luo Mando.
"Did you hear what he just said?" Luo Manduo's stomach almost exploded with anger.
Zang Fen nodded, "I heard it, but sir, you... never gave such an order at all."
No city lord would issue such an order, because what is the difference between such an order and an order to close the market? Whether a city is prosperous or not can be seen from the circulation of goods in the market and the amount of transactions. If the market is closed, a city will
It will decline. As for Luo Manduo, even if he is poor and crazy, he will not issue such an order. He is a modern person from another world and knows the importance of a free market.
Zhong Shan is the commander of the city guards and is under the jurisdiction of the city lord, but he suddenly disrupts the market and says what the city lord's orders are. What's going on?
Luo Manduo walked up.
"Sir, there are many of them and the situation is unknown. You'd better..." Zang Fen followed up and warned.
"Go, go and ask Hua Dang to bring someone over and ask him to bring Xuan Jia. Here, I'll hold it up first," Luo Manduo said.
"Then be careful." Zang Fen turned around and left, his steps fast.
Luo Manduo walked towards Zhongshan, and Zhongshan also saw Luo Manduo, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. The new city lord who left the city was so easy to identify. With his clothes and the gold and jade jewelry on his body, he looked like a nouveau riche.
Appearance. Such a person is like a beetle in the field, very conspicuous even in the dark night.
The city guard soldiers who were causing trouble and destroying the market also recognized Luo Manduo and stopped making trouble in unison. In the previous day's battle, Luo Manduo left a very deep impression on them. At this moment, Luo Manduo's
The momentum was the same as that time, even stronger than weak! They couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, they were very aware of Luo Manduo's ruthlessness, and Luo Manduo was still the city lord and had jurisdiction over them.
.
Luo Manduo walked straight to Zhong Shan and looked at him coldly.
Zhong Shan swallowed his saliva and forced out a smile, "Sir, why are you here now? I will take care of the things you told me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Manduo suddenly slapped Zhong Shan on the cheek.
Snap! A crisp sound.
With this slap, Zhong Shan's body was moved two steps, and half of his cheek suddenly swelled. He covered his cheek, and a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. A trace of resentment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
With his divine light, he said coldly: "Sir, I am carrying out your order! Why did you hit me? Why did you hit me?"
Luo Manduo suddenly rushed up, waved his hand, and slapped Zhong Shan on the other cheek.
With this slap, Zhong Shan was knocked to the ground. Both sides of his cheeks were swollen, and his head looked like a pig's head. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his lips were also swollen.
He looked very embarrassed. What made him even more uncomfortable was not the pain on his body, but the fact that he was beaten by Luo Manduo in front of such subordinates and people. He had already lost his face!
It's not that Zhong Shan doesn't want to hide, but he can't. Luo Manduo's speed has exceeded the range that he can resist. In fact, he is also a mysterious warrior in the mysterious armor realm, but he is a mysterious warrior in the mysterious armor realm.
In front of Luo Manduo, a Black Armor Realm Black Warrior, he can only be regarded as a Spiritual Bone Realm Black Warrior. Even a Black Warrior like Zou Xin, who is in the Wuhun Stage and is in the Enlightenment Realm, will die at the hands of Luo Manduo, let alone
he?
Luo Manduo's sudden improvement in body skills and speed is naturally related to the fog burial style he practiced. A large part of the fog burial style is the training of body skills and speed.
"Stop! Don't force me anymore! I will fight back!" Zhong Shan got up from the ground and roared ferociously.
More than a dozen city guard soldiers also stood beside Zhong Shan intentionally or unintentionally, and a few stood on Luo Manduo's left and right wings, forming a pincer-like surrounding of Luo Manduo. They were all Zhong Shan.
of confidants.
Luo Manduo saw it but didn't take it to heart. He said, "Zhongshan, do you know who I am?"
This was simply asking questions knowingly. If he hadn't known that Luo Manduo was the city lord who left the city in Japan, and he slapped Zhong Shan like this, it would have been weird if Zhong Shan and his brothers didn't rush up and cut him into pieces.
"I know!" Zhong Shan's voice was full of resentment, "You are the city lord who left the city today."
Luo Manduo sneered, "Since you know that I am the city lord who left the city, let me ask you, when did I give you an order to tax the market like this?"
"Without your order, how dare I collect taxes like this?" Zhong Shan took out a piece of paper from his armor, unfolded it, held it high in his hand, and said, "If you are not blind, you should recognize this."
Order document."
Luo Manduo saw the order, but it was not his seal, but the crescent moon emblem of the Nether God Sect. The signature on the order document was not his name, but the name of the Nether God Sect's resident temple in the city.
When Servant Zander saw this order document, he suddenly understood something.
"Zhong Shan, is this my order document?" Luo Manduo's voice was calm, but his heart was already burning with anger.
"Hmph! Master Zhan De, Divine Servant, said that he has informed you. Don't you know that the real person in charge of this city is Master Zhan De, Divine Servant, not you?" Zhong Shan became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
"Master Zande God Servant also said that his orders are your orders, not to mention that he informed you in advance, so I took it as your order personally, and then I brought my brothers to the market to announce it.
New tax policy.”
The truth is already out there.
Luo Manduo completely understood. The Servant of Zhan De wanted to take advantage of the fact that the old city lord Zou Bituo was dead and the new lord of the city had not yet established a firm foothold to attack him. The motivation of the Servant of Zhan De was obvious, and his purpose was also
It is very clear that the purpose is to bribe Zhongshan, first arouse the resentment of the people of Richu City against him as the new city lord, disrupt the normal order of Richu City, and then appear at the right time to let his people replace him. This replacement may be
Zhong Shan, or maybe someone else. In short, as long as he, the new city lord, falls, Zhan De Divine Servant will become the person who actually controls Richu City, and the huge property he obtained from Zou Bituo.
There is no man who is not tempted by wealth and power, and even the Servant of God Zander is no exception. He is no longer satisfied with controlling a small temple, he has greater ambitions and desires.
Zhong Shan put away the order document, and then sneered: "Did you see it? As the city lord, you issued such an order and didn't tell me, but you also beat me, the person who carried out your order, do you think you are
Are you a great city lord? Let me tell you, you are nothing now! Without the city guards, you are just a bare city lord! I only call you city lord to give you face, but if I don’t give you face, I will call you - boy!
"
Luo Manduo's eyes fell on Zhong Shan's face, "I am the city lord appointed by King Xiaoyao. King Xiaoyao is also the king of the East. Not only is the city outside the city his territory, but also the land around the Hunduan Mountains.
It's his territory, not that of the Netherworld God. You are the commander of the city guards who left the city today, and you actually bypassed me and colluded with the servants of Zande, ruining my reputation and disrupting the market. Based on these two points, you are in my
In his eyes, he is already a dead person."
"You want to kill me?" Zhong Shan suddenly laughed, "Hahaha... you do have the ability to kill me, but if you really do that, what will you do to the servant of Zhan De? You are a bare-bones city lord,
You can't even stand firm on your feet, but you actually threatened to kill me, the commander of the city guard who is in charge of five hundred people. Stop dreaming! If you have the guts, just try to touch me!"
More than a dozen of Zhong Shan's cronies stared at Luo Manduo with eager eyes. They were indeed afraid of Luo Manduo's strength, but that was when Luo Manduo was wearing the sacrificer's mysterious armor. Now, with the sound of Luo Manduo in brocade clothes,
Luo Manduo is not enough to scare them. If they really have to take action, they will definitely rush forward and deal with Luo Manduo together.
Vendors and people in the market crowded together to watch the excitement. They had long formed a huge circle, with three floors inside and three floors outside. In the middle were about a hundred city guard soldiers and Luo Manduo brought by Zhong Shan.
Alone. The vendors and people watching the excitement were also talking about what was happening.
"It turns out that the order was not given by the new city lord. Let me just say, this new city lord Luo Manduo, did his head get caught in the door? He actually issued such an order to disrupt the market." A merchant said with some emotion.
"No...it turned out to be an order from the servant of God Zhan De of the Netherworld Cult. Alas, the new city lord seems to be at a disadvantage. He hasn't even stood firm yet, but the commander of the city guard has rebelled. I
Look, he's not a city leader for long." An old man who came to the market to buy things sighed.
"The new city lord will definitely not dare to take action again. He is alone, but there are more than a hundred people on the other side."
"I'm not sure. I heard that this new city lord is very powerful. The old city lords Zou Bituo and Zou Xin were killed by him. Didn't you see that when he came up just now, without saying a word, he went up and handed over to the city guard commander?
Two slaps."
"Yes! Yes! Didn't you see? Xin Rencheng's appearance and temperament are not as vicious as even the toughest robbers I have ever seen!"
"Shh..."
The common people are common people. The fight for rights in the city has little to do with them. It doesn't matter much to them who is the city lord. They just want to live peacefully, live more easily and be more prosperous. This is enough.
.But in their hearts, since they knew that the person who issued such an excessive order was the servant of Zander and not Luo Mando, they actually hoped that Luo Mando would win.
"What? Are you scared?" Zhong Shan ignored the comments of the people and vendors around him and looked at Luo Manduo with a hint of ridicule and provocation.
Luo Manduo shook his head, "You can actually live a very prosperous life, but you are too stupid to be used as a gun and yet you are still complacent. Even if Servant Zander promised to let you take over my position, will you?
I have thought about it, even if I fall, what will you say to King Xiaoyao?"
at this time……
Boom, boom, boom!
The unique footsteps of Xuan Jia suddenly appeared outside the crowd.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Hua Dang's voice suddenly came.
