C1002 Surprise
The bald man frowned, thinking it was unnecessary, but he didn't know what to say. After all, this was the rule of the prefecture. The bald man turned around and looked at Zhang Fann with a questioning look in his eyes.2
Zhang Fann did not say anything. He just nodded his head, meaning that he could report to Zhang Fann. However, there might not be anyone. In any case, he could do things according to the rules.
Not long after, the guard came back. There was a look of panic in his eyes. He whispered a few words to the guard beside him, then shook his head, indicating that he really didn't find Ninth Duke.
In other words, everything that the bald man said was true. Ninth Duke had really left the ancient city and was nowhere to be found.
The bald man had already guessed the result when he saw the two of them looking like this. He said to the two of them, "Since that's the case, you two should get out of the way. Don't cause any trouble."
After the two of them heard this, they consciously moved to the side. They did not dare to speak. They looked at Zhang Fann with some surprise in their eyes. They did not understand what kind of identity Zhang Fann had.
Zhang Fann swaggered into the prince's mansion and looked around. The bald man and the others were leading the way. At the same time, they were introducing the structure of the mansion to Zhang Fann, so that he could familiarize himself with it.
It had to be said that Zhang Fann thought that Ninth Duke was rather romantic. In the yard, there was a fake mountain fish pond, a hand-copying corridor, four flowers without any flowers, eight long spring grass, everything was there. It really gave off an elegant feeling.
Some of the servants in the yard did not seem to know that today was still a normal day of work. To them, it was just a normal day.
Zhang Fann took a tour of the prince's mansion. Indeed, he did not find Ninth Duke or some of his personal guards. Furthermore, when he asked the people in the courtyard, they also indicated that they had not seen Ninth Duke for a day. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.
Zhang Fann knew in his heart that Ninth Duke must have left the mansion with his people. He did not greet anyone. After all, it wouldn't be a glorious thing to tell others about such a matter.
Zhang Fann told everyone the details and also explained Ninth Duke's whereabouts. Although many people didn't believe him, Ninth Duke didn't show up. Everyone was very confused about this.
However, there was one thing that everyone knew about. Ninth Duke had sent a Half-step Sky Reaching warrior to kill someone, but in the end, he was killed instead. And Zhang Fann was the one who was being hunted down.
Everyone had also heard that the man who killed Chen Lin was a Shackles Stage warrior. This coincided perfectly with Zhang Fann, causing them to be shocked. They had always been curious about what this young man who could kill a Half-step Sky Reaching warrior looked like. Today, they finally saw him.
Zhang Fann told them the truth. He also said that if these people were willing to stay in the mansion and serve the next master, they could stay. If anyone wanted to leave, Zhang Fann would never stop them.
When these servants heard this, they were shocked. In their opinion, this was basically impossible. Almost no one could do it. Many people had found Zhang Fann to confirm it. In order to avoid hearing it wrongly, a few people pinched their thighs hard. It wasn't until they grimaced in pain that they realized it wasn't a dream.
Lu Botong looked at the reaction of these people, especially when they came to find Zhang Fann one by one. When he frowned and confirmed the matter again and again, Lu Botong could not help but sigh. He said to Zhang Fann, "Although this Ninth Duke is harmful to the Pugilistic World, he has always been so ambitious towards the Loong family. However, judging from their reactions, Ninth Duke had treated his subordinates well. So, even if something like this happened... None of the house-servants want to believe it, either."
After listening to Lu Botong's words, Zhang Fann just smiled and didn't answer. However, Zhang Fann didn't think so in his heart. In his opinion, although these people had expressions of disbelief in their eyes, they didn't feel this way because of what happened to Ninth Duke. Instead, it was a matter of fact.
After repeated confirmation, these servants burst into laughter. Their laughter was very hearty. Some of them had even started singing and dancing. Some of them were crying tears of joy, as if they were venting the grievances in their hearts for many years.
"That's great! This Ninth Duke has really left this continent. If possible, I am willing to give half of my life in exchange for him never to come back!"
"Yeah, he has finally left. We don't need to be bullied by him anymore. In my opinion, this kind of person is not worthy to live in this world. It is best to die. " But now that he has left the continent, he will never come back. It's no different than dying. "
"Even so, I am still rather worried. What if he can really regroup and come back from the other continents? " Then, should we stay here? "
"Who cares. We are free for now anyway. No matter who the next master is, I think I can stay. I have never seen anyone more difficult to serve than Ninth Duke. "
"That's right. Ninth Duke's requirements are too high. Besides, he always likes servants like us. " He even specially used some punishment methods to establish a lot of rules. The purpose was to not pay us, and now he's finally gone. I finally feel the light of day, or else... I don't know when such bitter days will come to an end. "
"Fortunately, this Ninth Duke has left. I really have to thank that young man named Zhang Fann from the Loong family for this matter. Without him, Ninth Duke would never have left this continent."
"No matter what, Ninth Duke has left the ancient city. We will be freed. If he really comes back one day, it won't be too late for us to leave the city."
For a moment, all the servants felt very happy. Their excitement was indescribable. Some of them even kneeled on the ground. They kowtowed to Zhang Fann to thank him for his great kindness.
Zhang Fann waved his hand at these people and said, "We can put this matter aside for now. If you like to stay, I won't force you. You can do this work according to your own time. As long as you can finish it, it will be good. What I need you to do is to fulfill your responsibilities. As long as it makes sense, I won't make things difficult for you."
Everyone hurriedly nodded and thanked Zhang Fann again. They kept talking about Zhang Fann. He was an enlightened monarch. To them, he was also a savior.
