When everyone heard the sound, they couldn't help but look towards the door.
I saw a strange young man standing at the door of the conference room.
"Who are you? Who let you in?"
One of Liu Zhian's direct officials immediately scolded the other party.
Then he turned to the security guard standing behind the young man and said, "How do you do your job? Didn't you see that City Lord Liu was holding a meeting with us? You let a stranger in casually. Do you want to stop working?"
The security guard explained with sweat on his forehead: "Sir, this gentleman said...said..."
"say what?"
The official said impatiently, "If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it! If you delay City Lord Liu's speech, I'll make your whole family unemployed!"
"This gentleman said he is the newly appointed Lord of Jiangcheng, Ye Chen..." the security guard said hurriedly.
"The Lord of Jiang City? Him?"
The official stood up, walked up to Ye Chen, looked him up and down, and sneered, "What a bullshit city lord! We don't have a city lord named Ye in Jiangcheng, we only have a city lord named Liu. Get out of here!"
In fact, he naturally knew in his heart that the young man in front of him was the new city lord Ye Chen.
But in order to show his loyalty to Liu Zhian, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, just to give the new city lord a warning.
You can explain it afterwards and say that you admitted your mistake, and the other party will not dare to do anything to you.
Looking at the stupid official who thought he was very smart, Ye Chen said calmly: "You are fired now, get out."
The official got furious when he heard this and cursed, "You f*cking know who I am, and you dare fire me... bang!"
Before he could finish, Ye Chen slapped him in the face.
The man was hit so hard that he flew three or four meters away and hit the wall hard, fainting.
Then he said to the room full of officials, "Does anyone else have any objections?"
The whole audience fell silent.
No one expected that the newly appointed young city lord would be so cruel and actually beat an official to a pulp.
At the same time, they also had a clear understanding of the city lord's strength. He could easily knock out a fifth-grade peak warrior, which was indeed terrifying.
"Oh my, it turns out that City Lord Ye is taking office. I'm sorry for not coming to greet him."
Liu Zhian then slowly stood up, smiling, and continued, "But it was just an unintentional act. Why would City Lord Ye have to start a big fight the moment he arrives?"
What he said was to set a trap for Ye Chen, making everyone feel that Ye Chen was cruel and domineering, so that others would be more inclined towards him.
However, Ye Chen ignored all this and said directly to the other party, "Liu Zhian, someone reported to this city lord that you abused your power for personal gain, embezzled and perverted the law to claim credit, and formed a clique to exclude dissidents. I wonder if this is true. Are you guilty?"
Liu Zhian was stunned when he heard this.
He knew that Ye Chen wanted to deal with him, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to be so decisive and act so swiftly that he would directly step on his face.
Young people don't play by the rules and don't follow the ways of officialdom.
"City Lord, I'm innocent. Someone has definitely framed me. I, Liu Zhian, have always been impartial and dedicated to my work. Every colleague here can vouch for me!"
"oh?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, "Did I wrongly accuse you?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the officials around him and said calmly, "Who among you is willing to testify for Lord Liu?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many officials below looked at each other and whispered to each other.
Soon, several officials stood up and said, "We are willing to testify for City Lord Liu."
These are Liu Zhian’s diehard followers and direct subordinates.
Most of the remaining officials remained silent.
They all saw that although the new city lord was young, he was very cunning and his strength was unfathomable, so they chose to keep a low profile and protect themselves.
Anyone who stands up now is tantamount to being tied to the same boat with Liu Zhian, and will also become a thorn in Ye Chen's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chen asked again: "Is there anyone who wants to report Liu Zhian? Stand up now."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a buzzing sound from below.
The newly appointed city lord really leaves no room for maneuver and is determined to fight to the death with Liu Zhian!
Liu Zhian panicked upon hearing this. He feigned calmness and dignity as he scanned the room, then said in a deep voice, "Yes, anyone who wants to report someone, please stand up now. I'd like to see who wants to report me!"
There was a hidden threat in the words.
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
After a long silence, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face mustered up the courage and stood up.
He shouted, "I'm reporting Liu Zhian for falsely claiming merit. He took all the merits of the lower-level soldiers as his own. He killed anyone who complained and made him do all the dangerous tasks. More than a dozen of our soldiers died because of this..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed and a nameless fire of karma rose in his heart.
He looked at Xia Dong and said, "Don't worry, these soldiers' deaths will not be in vain! What's your name?"
"My humble servant is Xia Dong, the captain of the city defense army!" the middle-aged man answered loudly.
"Very good! I'll remember you."
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he glanced at everyone again, "Who else wants to report?"
"Master Ye, this is Xia Dong complaining against me. You don't want to believe it!"
Liu Zhian tried to argue, but Ye Chen ignored him and asked again, "Who else wants to report?"
"I!"
Another person stood up and said, "I'm Liu Mo from the Finance Bureau. I'm reporting Liu Zhian for misappropriating public funds and withholding mineral spirit stones!"
“I want to report it too…”
