As Huang An and the others got closer to the main entrance, the slightly noisy quarrel outside the house gradually became clearer.
Sure enough, those officials and people from the aristocratic families have not left yet. They want to persuade the guard team guarding the gate to enter the city lord's mansion and see Zhao Yan.
They are still waiting for a miracle to happen.
Unfortunately, miracles will not happen to them.
Huang An's lips curved into a smile and he strode forward.
He suddenly increased his speed, causing Ding Zhi, who was already hesitant, to suddenly be unable to react in time and fall behind by half a beat.
Seeing that Huang An kept walking, Ding Zhi sighed, put away the hesitant expression on his face, and gritted his teeth instead, a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
Now that I've come this far, I guess I have no way out.
He made up his mind.
If you go out, you will definitely be resented by your colleagues who are guarding outside the house.
After all, to these local officials in Feng'an City, I am a foreigner.
As an official in Youzhou, outsiders are the easiest to bully, aren't they?
So what if I have a high level of cultivation?
In the Ming Dynasty, being an official in Feng'an City and earning money did not require high cultivation.
Just like now, what's the use of having a high level of cultivation? Are you just following Huang An, who only has the level of Six Fu Realm, and even being coerced by him to do things for him?
Ding Zhi accepted it and accepted his fate.
Once my thoughts changed, my thinking became much faster.
He had actually noticed just now that he had been grudged by Li Shui and others.
The reason was very strange and made him helpless.
Because all the officials, big and small, in the city lord's palace, except him, were blocked outside and were not allowed to enter.
Only he can see Master Zhao Yan.
The reason why Li Shui and others hate him is so simple and so weird.
This is a common character problem among officials from aristocratic families. This is true for Li Shui and others, and it is also true for Ding Zhi.
Since the relationship between the two parties is difficult to restore, don't blame him for going all the way.
Ding Zhi's eyes became firm and fierce at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If given the chance, he would definitely kill all the wealthy families in Feng'an City, as well as his colleagues who had laughed and laughed in the past.
This is the truth that he only realized after living for so long.
Being kind-hearted and soft-handed will only harm others and yourself.
Only when the intertwined power of the Li family, the Yang family martial arts school and the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce are completely dismantled, can he, Ding Zhi, have the opportunity to continue to serve as the manager of the Martial Arts Department in Feng'an City, continue to dominate, enjoy the fun of being an official, and,
Get the potential benefits of being an official.
Ding Zhi saw this very clearly.
The green hills of the world are all the same, and the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is also the same.
Maybe, when these people are cleaned up and the power in Feng'an City is vacant, I can take the opportunity to let the Ding family members in Fufeng County branch off to multiply and develop in Feng'an City.
Find a few more from the clan to take up posts in the city, and take the opportunity to fill the power vacancies in Feng'an City.
In this way, my Ding family can take root in Feng'an City. As a great-grandfather, I can be regarded as setting a qualified example for my family.
In the future, when they die of old age, they can also have an explanation for the ancestors of the Ding family.
With him as the head of the martial arts department in Feng'an City, the transferred Ding family can take root in the city at a faster speed and in a better way.
Old Man Ding's obsession with his family is the most common phenomenon among the warriors of this Ming Dynasty.
It is a brand engraved in the blood of 99% of men in this era.
In an era of low productivity, the production model in which aristocratic families and fellow tribesmen help each other is the most suitable way for individuals to survive and obtain resources such as food and rights.
A group of sixteen people quickly left the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
Huang An took the lead, and when he walked out the door, he saw Li Xian Cheng and seven or eight other people standing at the door with anxious expressions on their faces.
There were about twenty or thirty people at the gate of the city. Apart from the guards, the seven most conspicuous were Li Xian Cheng and his companions.
The position where you stand is conspicuous, and the clothes you wear are also conspicuous.
Huang An blinked and recognized four of the seven people.
Surprisingly, in the entire Feng'an City, apart from the city lord, there are four most powerful people: Li Xian Cheng, Yang Chief Secretary, Li Xian Wei, and Ma Dianshi.
A month ago, he had been ordered by his master to come to Feng'an City to pick up Old Man Li and others. These four people had followed the deceased former lord of Feng'an City, Li An, to greet him ten miles away from the city gate.
Although the two sides only met once, the conversation only lasted a few words.
But these four people have special identities, and Huang An's memory is very good, so even after so long, he can still recognize these four people.
Following the other three people next to these four people, although Huang An did not recognize them, he observed that these three people were one position behind the four Li County Prime Ministers, the expressions on their faces, and the silk and satin on their bodies.
Huang An knew it.
These three people should be the patriarchs of the three powerful families in Feng'an City, second only to the Li family, the Yang family and the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce.
He must be the patriarch of the Zhang family and several other families.
Now these seven people were communicating with the two leading captains of the guard, and had no time to pay attention. They did not notice Huang An and his group across the gate of the mansion.
Seeing Huang An coming over, the guard guarding the door was startled and was about to say hello.
It can be seen that Huang An winked and shook his head at them. He was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Huang An meant.
Lord Huang An probably doesn't want to be called by his name.
The guards looked straight, turned their heads, and continued to stare at Li Shui and the others to prevent them from forcing their way in.
Because the rest of them are all Senior Sister Zhao's subordinates, the group of people brought by Luo Feiyao from Youzhou.
They now serve as the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, responsible for guarding and protecting the City Lord's Mansion and preventing anyone from entering.
With a flash of his eyes, Huang An calmly nodded approvingly at the guards, then raised the account book in his hand higher, slightly covering his face.
His movements were so natural and concealed that even Ding Zhi, who was very close at hand, didn't notice him.
Everyone kept walking and continued walking outside.
After stepping out of the mansion, Li Shui and the others finally spotted their presence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huang An's simple disguise actually worked.
The leader Li Shui's expression suddenly changed, and the first thing he saw was Ding Zhi, who was carrying a stack of account books with a cold face.
Is that a ledger?
Li Shui is the county magistrate and is in charge of the accounting books. How could he not recognize it?
How can these account books be brought out?
The moment Li Shui saw the account book, his heart sank.
It was just that he controlled his emotions forcefully and did not make any rude behavior.
Swallowing his throat, he left the guard captain who was pleading not to let him and others in, and hurried towards Ding Zhi, with a signature smile on his face.
What the old man Ding Zhi is holding in his arms could not really be the account book recording the expenses of the county magistrate, right?
There was something wrong with these ledgers, and he had to confirm it.
And ask why he came back again and again, and why he still holds these account books!
Li Shui's action was an introduction, and the chief clerk and the county captain also joined in.
"Master Ding, what are you doing?"
"Master Ding, why did you leave the house with the account books? These are the account books, right?"
They came up and asked quickly.
They were all chattering, which showed that they were really nervous.
It is related to the rise and fall of the family, and it is related to your own life and death, honor and disgrace, how can you not care?
These seven people, who were only at the Six Fu realm, were completely unaware that Zhang Yi and Chen Yu, who were following Ding Zhi, were warriors at the Bronze Skin realm.
They were confused by the phenomenon in front of them.
Ding Zhi was walking at the front, and they thought that the people following Ding Zhi were the subordinates assigned by City Lord Zhao Yan to work for Ding Zhi.
As for Luo Feiyao, they naturally noticed this unusually beautiful woman, but they didn't pay too much attention to her.
Because Luo Feiyao is still a little far away from Ding Zhi and the others.
Moreover, Ding Zhi is a real old pervert, and it is completely normal for him to be surrounded by women.
Therefore, after Li Shui and others took one look at Huang An and others, they stopped paying attention to them.
The expressions on the faces of these seven people when questioning Ding Zhi were very similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.
With the same kindness and kindness, when he spoke to Ding Zhi, he gave people a sense of warmth and surprise when blood relatives suddenly meet.
However, Ding Zhi didn't seem to see these people and walked forward with his head down.
It’s been almost half a year since I came to Youzhou. Who doesn’t know that these people are all smiling tigers?
Face-changing skills are just the basic skills of being an official, especially for people like them.
Ding Zhi's two arms were raised, level with his abdomen, and the pile of account books were divided into conspicuous ones.
Of course, there are also the tattered sleeves that have been torn into thin strips of cloth and swayed in the wind.
However, no one dared to laugh at him because of this.
Ding Zhi had made up his mind and turned a deaf ear to it at the moment, just like a wild bull, he just walked away with his head down.
Now that it has come to this point, I must sever ties with these guys as soon as possible, and the money I gave him this morning to say good things to him must be handed over to Master Zhao Yan as soon as possible to make the final decision.
However, just when he was about to continue walking, a slight force suddenly came from his left lower back, which stopped his next movement.
Based on the location and common sense, the person who touched him was Huang An.
He nudged himself.
What is he going to do?
Ding Zhi's eyes flashed with surprise. Although he didn't understand what Huang An meant, he still stopped.
Li Shui and others looked happy, thinking that the old man Ding, who suddenly had no food and salt, had changed his mind.
Li Shui suppressed his unhappiness, raised his hands and asked with a smile:
"Master Ding, what are you doing?"
While Li Shui was speaking, his eyes kept looking at the account book.
He felt that Ding Zhi had collected their money in the morning and now he should provide them with some small help.
For example, the truth about the strange scene in front of you.
Li Shui and others' attention was not focused on Huang An and others at all.
Ding Zhi heard that Li Shui asked again, but he didn't know how to answer.
He didn't want to answer, and just as he was about to use the excuse of changing positions, he turned to Huang An on the left for advice.
Unexpectedly, a flattering look appeared on Huang An's face, and his whole body crouched down slightly.
Just like a slave.
Moreover, the target of flattery is still him.
Ding Zhi was stunned.
The ominous premonition in my heart became even stronger.
This kid is definitely going to trick him!
Unexpectedly, what made him even more confused was behind him.
Huang An took another step forward, directly took over his words, and said:
"My lord is going to deliver the account books to the Zhao Family Martial Arts School!"
Since these people haven't recognized them yet, let's play tricks on them and pretend to look more like them.
Huang An's on-the-spot reaction ability is not weak at all.
He originally planned to pass on the news that he was leaving the City Lord's Mansion with his account book and going to the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
