As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Decheng led the people from Xuancheng Sect and hurried in. As soon as he came in, he said, "City Lord, they are here."
Zhou Bin nodded and smiled: "Let them in!"
Liu Decheng hurried out and welcomed those people in.
As Zhou Bin spoke, more than a dozen people walked in from the door.
The three middle-aged men in the lead all looked stern and unfriendly.
Zhou Bin sat on a chair, Bai Long and Xiao Bao stood behind him, and Snow Leopard squatted beside him with an angry look on his face.
These people walked into the room and at first glance they saw a young man sitting on a chair, and a look of disdain immediately appeared in their eyes.
Zhou Bin didn't say anything, but continued to drink tea leisurely.
A middle-aged man with a face full of hostility spoke up: "Are you the new mayor of Bailing City?"
Zhou Bin nodded and said, "Exactly. Who are you?"
The man immediately said, "I am Lu Yuan, the mayor of Baijing City. This is Xue Ruyan, the mayor of Baizhi City. And this is Liu Guangyuan, the mayor of Baishan City."
Zhou Bin looked at the three people and said with a smile, "So it's the three city lords who are here. What's the matter?"
When Lu Yuan saw that Zhou Bin didn't even stand up to greet him, he felt very dissatisfied.
They didn't come here just to sightsee. They brought a total of 3,000 troops from the three cities and came to seize territory.
Therefore, Lu Yuan did not need to be polite and asked directly: "What happened to the previous Shangguan City Lord?"
Bai Long answered bluntly, "Dead."
The three of them were stunned. They didn't expect them to speak so directly.
Although Xue Ruyan is a big and strong man, he has such a name, which makes Zhou Bin very curious.
He asked in surprise: "How did he die?"
Xiaobao immediately said, "He was beaten to death."
Hiss! The three people couldn't help but gasp. These three guys looked young, but they were so cruel that they beat Shangguan Hai to death?
When Liu Guangyuan heard this, he immediately asked, "City Lord Shangguan had been guarding Bailing City, why was he beaten to death?"
Zhou Bin said impatiently: "Why do you care so much? What does it have to do with you?"
The three people didn't expect Zhou Bin to be so tough, and they were all a little surprised.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and continued, "May I ask the city lord's name?"
Zhou Bin said with a relaxed look on his face: "My name is Zhou Bin."
Lu Yuan immediately said, "Oh, it's City Lord Zhou. We came here today to ask some questions."
Zhou Bin thought to himself, let’s see what you can come up with!
So Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Lu Yuan pretended to be confused and said, "As far as I know, the former Lord Shangguan loved the people like his own children, worked hard day and night, and managed Bailing City in an orderly manner. I wonder why he met with an unexpected accident?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "City Lord Lu, I don't know where you heard this news from. From what I know and see, Shangguan Hai is a sinister and cunning person, violent and ruthless, and he oppresses the people. The people have been complaining about him for a long time!"
Lu Yuan and others did not expect Zhou Bin to say such a thing, and were a little speechless at the time.
Bai Long cursed at the side: "This bastard, he levied heavy taxes and extorted money, and he also bullied outsiders. I don't believe you don't know!"
"That's right, don't you feel guilty saying that?" Xiao Bao asked loudly.
Lu Yuan originally wanted to overwhelm Zhou Bin with his momentum, but he didn't expect that Zhou Bin and his men would directly rebuke them and leave them speechless.
When Xue Ruyan saw that Lu Yuan had not gotten any advantage, she immediately said loudly, "Even if City Lord Shangguan was a little wrong, it was for the sake of the people. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to say that about him!"
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "Arresting people everywhere and imposing heavy taxes is for the benefit of the people? You are really talking nonsense!"
As soon as Zhou Bin said this, Xue Ruyan's face turned red.
He thought to himself, good boy, you have a good tongue!
The other Liu Guangyuan immediately said, "You just took over the position of city lord like this, aren't you afraid that we will punish you?"
Zhou Bin pretended to be surprised and asked, "What does this have to do with you? Isn't it true that the strong are respected in the spirit world?"
"But, but we are all neighbors, we can't just stand by and watch City Lord Shangguan suffer a misfortune, right?" Liu Guangyuan continued.
Zhou Bin looked at the three men and was too lazy to continue bickering with them, so he simply asked, "What exactly do you want to do? Just say it."
When Lu Yuan saw Zhou Bin asking, he simply said, "City Lord Zhou, you killed City Lord Shangguan, which is a threat to us! We didn't come here for nothing today!"
Bai Long asked from the side: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Xue Ruyan smiled and said, "We have brought three thousand men this time to seek justice for City Lord Shangguan! City Lord Zhou must give an explanation, otherwise we will not agree!"
Zhou Bin smiled slightly: "How do you plan to make us explain?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's very simple. You have to wear mourning clothes, apologize in front of City Lord Shangguan, and then give us some apology gifts, and we will let this matter go. Otherwise, we will not let it go!"
Bailong and Xiaobao were surprised when they heard this. Wow, these people actually dared to speak up.
Zhou Bin was not angry, but asked with a smile: "How much is the apology gift?"
Lu Yuan said loudly: "You must give us three cities, 100,000 spirit crystals for each city, and the three of us can speak well of you in front of City Lord Chu, so that he won't punish you when the time comes."
When Zhou Bin and the others heard this, they were shocked. These people were really asking for too much!
Each city requires 100,000 spirit crystals, which adds up to 300,000. It's really exaggerated.
