69: C69 Lord Li's First Meeting

C69 Lord Li's First Meeting

Lee Shi hurriedly followed Uncle Mao to the Council Hall.

All the officials of the Seven Stars City, under the command of the mayor, surrounded by tens of people, had been waiting here for a long time.

When they saw Lee Shi walk out from the back of the hall, all of them cast their gazes towards him.

Most of them were seeing Lee Shi for the first time, so they all showed a puzzled expression.

Who was this youth? Where did City Lord Ma go?

Lee Shi was wearing an azure purple embroidered python robe. There was an inky jade ribbon around his waist and his long black hair was neatly tied up in a dark blue pentagonal crown.

Combined with his tall and straight posture and handsome face, his entire being seemed to be domineering without losing any elegance.

This outfit was specially made for Lee Shi by Yun, which made Lee Shi quite happy.

Lee Shi sat on the throne of the mayor. His deep gaze was like a sharp sword as he scanned the people in the hall condescendingly.

There were a few people who knew of what happened outside the city two days ago. They recognized Lee Shi's identity and did not dare to meet Lee Shi's gaze. They all lowered their heads respectfully.

However, when a few people saw that Lee Shi was so young, they were filled with disdain and glared at him.

"I, Lee Shi, am the new City Lord for Seven Stars City." Lee Shi said lightly, with a hint of authority that belonged to someone in a higher position, "The reason why I gathered all the lords today is because I want to get to know all of you, and also because I want to change a few positions."

Everyone in the hall felt a chill in their hearts. Lee Shi really didn't have any good intentions.

The new official was left in a state of displeasure. Who was he planning to roast?

"I dare to ask, does City Lord Li have an official document?"

A middle-aged man wearing a black official's robe stood out and asked with a fake smile.

Lee Shi slightly frowned. In the past, when Taotang Duchy were just established, every mayor needed Grand Duke's signature when they took over.

It was just that in these recent years, Grand Duke Of Taotang and Lee Shen's bodies had become seriously ill, and the Taodu Court's control over the other six cities had completely disappeared.

Or else, more than ten years ago, Ma Huan wouldn't have been able to easily obtain the Seven Stars City.

However, these words had never been spoken publicly before. The matter of the documents was usually treated as a kind of unspoken rule. The reason the man in black brought it up was purely because he wanted to disgust Lee Shi.

"How dare you!"

Standing beside Lee Shi, Liu Shuang's eyes flashed as the unique aura of Earth Origin Stage Expert was instantly revealed.

The furious shout was like a dragon's roar that sounded in one's ears, instantly shocking the middle-aged man to the point that his face went ghastly pale and his soul seemed to have left his body!

The man gritted his teeth and held on. Did I hit the mark? If you can't take out the documents, do you intend to silence me by killing? "

"That's right. You're just a kid with yellow hair, how can you be the mayor of this city?"

"Where did City Lord Ma go?! We only recognize City Lord Ma, and not City Lord Shirezi Li! "

The surrounding people all expressed their support for the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man seemed to have regained his courage. He straightened his back and looked at Lee Shi provocatively.

Lee Shi stretched out his hand to hold down the furious Zhao Yun as he asked plainly, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man acted as if he didn't care about death, "You're not talented. The Lord is the Baron of the Duchy, the Mayor of Tong Gu Town, and Song Wen is one of them."

"Where are the other lords?" Lee Shi asked again.2

"I am the mayor of Tongnan Town …"

"I'm the mayor of Dongyu Town …"

"I am..."

The few of them took turns to introduce themselves, as they formed a small group in the hall.

Lee Shi understood after hearing their names.

Previously, when he flipped through the accounts in the City Lord's Mansion, he found that Tong Valley, Tongnan, Dongyu, and other towns would pay tribute to Ma Huan with huge amounts of gold, silver, and jewelry every year.

This only meant one thing. They used the assets in their hands to make some sort of deal with Ma Huan.

And this kind of trade might very well be their Mayor position!
