After Qi Zicheng's entire family was killed and the Zhulan Archives was burned down in public.
Another former chairman's housekeeper and Lanting's landlord were killed! This made Lanting completely unable to sit still.
Even if Pang Ming and his team had not organized the meeting, the landlords in Lanting would have called everyone together to attend the meeting.
When the meeting was held that evening, the remaining two second-level atmospheric scientists and a second-level biologist in Zhulan also rushed to the venue.
Of course they were not qualified to participate in the meeting, but the landowners were really scared.
That man called Zhao Wei is simply a demon who kills without blinking an eye! After killing the first tax collector, he almost never stopped. It has only been less than a month, and he has killed so many people in a row! At this meeting, most of the landlords have colluded privately. They must take away the position of Pang Ming, the waste, and replace him with someone else. They must get rid of Zhao Wei as soon as possible, otherwise who can sleep well at night?
With this thought in mind, the landlords of Lanting came to the great meeting hall.
This red-roofed house, which symbolizes Zhulan's power center, is located right below the ash tree.
The nine landlords who had already met Bai Li arrived first, and their faces looked very unhappy.
Regardless of whether what the "Miss" said was true or not, and whether the murderer named Zhao Wei had parted ways with her, the two had worked together to kill people before, and it was the "Miss" who brought him to Zhulan.
But now, this person seems to have lost control and even dares to attack the landlord of Lanting!
Some of them couldn't help but suspect Pang Ming, guessing that he had reached some kind of deal with the "lady". Otherwise, why did Zhao Wei attack the landlord of Lanting just after they met?
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was silent. The landlords entered one after another and sat at the huge round table that was large enough to accommodate 72 people.
When everyone arrived, there were only 71 people sitting at the table, and one chair was empty.
The assets of the murdered family were at the bottom among the 72 people, and now no one in his family, from his 60-year-old parents to his adult son, is alive. It is even difficult to find someone to succeed him and sit here as a symbol!
Pang Ming has also arrived.
But he did not sit at the round table, but sat on a chair outside the round table. After seeing him, someone asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Director Pang, why don't you come in and sit down? Isn't there an empty chair in front of this table?"
Hearing such ridicule, Pang Ming just looked at him without saying a word.
Seeing that such words had no effect, the landlord retracted his sinister smile and made another challenge without concealing his ugly expression.
"You called everyone to this meeting, saying that there was new progress in the case of Zhao Wei, the murderer, and you wanted to announce it. What? Have you already caught the murderer?"
Pang Ming opened his eyes this time, but still did not speak. He just looked at the landlords who had met the "young lady" with him.
These people looked a little embarrassed, feeling that the current atmosphere and occasion were not appropriate, but in the end, some of them still spoke up.
"I called everyone here today because the position of chairman has been vacant for too long. Many things in Zhulan have been delayed because of this, including the investigation of the murderer Zhao Wei. So tonight, let's quickly decide who will take the position of chairman!"
As soon as he said this, most of the people present changed their expressions! Not to mention the reformists, even the centrists who had been mediating were furious.
"Didn't we clearly agree before that we would discuss the chairmanship after we solved Zhao Wei's case? Now not only has the case not been solved, but it's getting bigger and bigger! What on earth do you mean?"
"You can't say that! Why is the case not solved and the matter getting bigger and bigger? Isn't it because we are leaderless and no one is coordinating? It is because the current situation is chaotic that we need to resolve such a major matter as soon as possible!"
After hearing what he said, some reformists were so angry that they laughed.
"Okay! Sure! Since you insist on confirming the chairman's seat today, let's resolve it through an internal vote today. There are exactly 71 seats left, or 71 votes. Abstentions are not allowed, and everyone must give a result! I want to see whether everyone agrees more with the four-year term reform, or with the Qi family branch that you just randomly pulled up from below!"
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. They had completely opened up about their conflict and a conclusion had to be reached today.
However, faced with his proposal and questioning, the diehards just looked at each other and smiled.
"Who told you that we want that Qi family branch to be the chairman?"
His words made the entire meeting room silent! Everyone present was a little stunned.
"If it's not the Qi family, who else do you want to choose?"
"He is a member of the Qi family. He is the one who should take over this position and become the master of Zhulan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl slowly pushed open the door of the conference hall with the orchid.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
She walked in under the horrified gazes of dozens of landlords at the round table.
"Miss!!!"
And at the same time.
Levi also came to the downstairs of the red-roofed house with his hands in his pockets. The surrounding defense and reconnaissance were very tight, and teams armed with live ammunition could be seen standing guard and patrolling almost everywhere.
He suddenly approached the square in front of the house, and was extremely conspicuous! Just when a police officer nervously pointed his gun at him and shouted at him, thinking that he was just a stranger who had strayed in and wanted to drive him away.
Levi snapped his fingers lightly! The next moment, the humidity in the air suddenly rose, and in just a few seconds, a thick fog completely enveloped the entire square! The thick fog was so thick that one could hardly see one's hand in front of one's face. All the police officers were in a mess, and the three second-level scientists who were assigned to guard the first floor all stood up with serious expressions.
After Zhulan's aura was completely taken away, two of them lost the ability to control the rules. They only had a strong body left. However, years of research have left them with no experience in close combat. The two of them can only be called half-second-level at best.
Only the biologist who is more interested in plants still has complete control over the rules!
Overall, one level two plus half a level two is better than Zhao Wei, the murderer, who is only level two.
The advantage still lies with them!
