415. Chapter 415 The invitation of the new city lord
The four city lord guards, who had been frightened by several troops, had already lost their fighting spirit after hearing the news that the city lord Jin Rong was dead and the city lord's mansion was destroyed. The Zi Family Army took over the defense of Zi Yao City without any effort.
The four city gates are all tightly closed and strictly guarded. No one is allowed to leave or leave without the permission of the city lord.
The incident in the City Lord's Mansion has spread throughout Zi Yao City at the speed of the wind.
On the always bustling street, except for the fifth detachment of the Zi Family Army who was responsible for patrolling, there were almost no people to be seen.
No matter whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, they all stay at home and dare not go out.
Most of the large and small shops on the street are tightly closed.
Who knows what the newly appointed city lord is thinking? If something like this happens, who dares to come out and touch the bad luck?!
Except for the parties involved, the Zi Family, Ziwei Auction House, Jiuxing Temple, and Murong Beast Workshop, these three companies acted as if nothing had happened, and everything was as usual.
Soon, Zi Tong's invitation was sent to all the civil and military officials and dignitaries. The wording of the invitation was extremely gentle, but from the eyes of the person who sent the letter, these officials and dignitaries had also caught the gentleness.
It has a strong taste.
If the new city lord invites you to dinner, if you don't come, it means that you don't agree. Needless to say, everyone knows the consequences of not agreeing - it is a dead end.
Who wants to die?
No one wants it!
So, before noon, the big shops had opened their doors, and at the same time, many officials and dignitaries rushed to the city gate mansion respectfully carrying gifts.
Jin Rong has only been the city lord here for ten years. Before that, there was another city lord. The replacement was just a matter of looking for things.
It doesn't matter who the city lord is, as long as they can live their lives as usual, make money and enjoy themselves, and live a stable life, that's enough.
At the same time, Zi Tong has also ordered people to post notices to inform the whole city.
From now on, the Zi family will take over all affairs of Zi Yao City, and all taxes in the city will be exempted for half a year.
As soon as this news came out, it was really popular.
In Zi Yao City, every one of the city lords has tried to find ways to enrich the public and private pockets. They would like to see people skin them and see birds pluck their feathers. Now Zi Tong has been exempted from taxes for half a year as soon as he takes office. Except for some officials who want to make money.
, from all kinds of dignitaries to common people, everyone is benefiting. Who is unhappy and who is not grateful?!
Anyway, no matter who is the city lord, they are all the same. Now that they have a good city lord who knows how to care for the people, they will naturally be happier.
The first person to rush to the city lord's mansion to congratulate him was Murong Dongli, the young master of Murong Beast Studio.
In fact, he has been staying at the city lord these days, and he has also transferred many experts from various cities, all of whom are staying in Murong Beast Studio, just in case Zi Tong needs it and there is not enough manpower.
This morning, Zi Tong broke through the city and entered. Murong Dongli naturally knew about such a big movement in the city.
Just because he didn't know her plan and wasn't notified, he didn't dare to act rashly. Naturally, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. It wasn't until he received the invitation from Zi Tong that he led his people to the city lord as soon as possible.
Congratulations from the mansion.
Needless to say, the gifts brought by the servants went without saying. Murong Dongli even stepped forward in person to bow to Zi Tong and salute, "Congratulations to the master of the family for winning Zi Yao City. Murong Beast Factory is here to congratulate you!"
