Chapter 311 (1/2)
After exchanging greetings for a moment, the middle-aged man raised the saucer in his hand, smiled and said:
”Younger martial brother, how about tasting the spirit tea of the city Lord's residence?”
Hearing the speech, Shen Jinghua nodded politely, then picked up the tea cup on the tea table and took a sip.
With the entrance of the tea, Shen Jinghua was surprised. A look of approval flashed in his eyes and slowly said:
”Although the entrance of this tea is plain, it has endless aftertaste. It's really a good tea!”
”Since you like it so much, I'll prepare some for you when you leave!”
”Elder martial brother, you don't have to!”
”You're welcome!”
Although Shen Jinghua tried to refuse, the middle-aged man was not polite to him and directly began to order his servants to prepare.
……
After three rounds of tea, Shen Jinghua suddenly remembered something and looked at the middle-aged man in a puzzled way.
As a huge city directly controlled by zongmen, yunbei city can bring countless wealth to zongmen every day.
The city Lord's house is the official organization set up by the Pope to manage the order of the whole city, and has absolute rights in yunbei city.
In this way, the position of the city master who commands the city master's house naturally becomes an important position with heavy power.
Therefore, for the benefit of the sect, the position of city leader has always been directly assigned by the sect. Aristocratic families in the city will never be allowed to take the position of city leader!
The middle-aged man is a disciple of an aristocratic family in the city, so he is unlikely to be able to serve as the city master!
……
Suddenly, Shen Jinghua said with a smile:
”If I remember correctly, elder martial brother song should be from an aristocratic family... What's the position of city master...”
Facing Shen Jinghua's inquiry, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing a thought-provoking look on his face.
Although Shen Jinghua didn't make it clear, he already understood what Shen Jinghua meant.
He took a sip from the tea table and then slowly explained:
”It's easy to say. The elder martial brother who used to be the city master of the sect suddenly closed down, and the city master's position was empty.
And the zongmen side didn't appoint a new city Lord for the moment, but asked senior brother me to be the Acting City Lord. ”
”Acting City Lord?”
Hearing the speech, Shen Jinghua was stunned for a moment, and then asked back.
”According to the rules of the sect, our aristocratic family disciples can't be the city master, so elder martial brother, I can only act as the city master!”
The middle-aged man took another sip of tea and said faintly.
”Well, don't talk about me, elder martial brother. Tell me about yourself, younger martial brother. Why did you come to the city master's residence suddenly?”
Seeing that the other party had asked, Shen Jinghua was not polite. He took out the search jade slips just obtained from the commander from his storage bag and handed them to the middle-aged man.
”Elder martial brother, take a look at this jade slip first!”
Looking at the jade slips handed by Shen Jinghua, the middle-aged man's face couldn't help showing a strange look. It was obvious that he had recognized that this was the jade slips used by the city Lord's house for investigation!
He took the jade slips from Shen Jinghua and began to check them.
After a few breaths, his divine sense retreated from the jade slips and looked at Shen Jinghua with a puzzled face.
”Younger martial brother, is there anything wrong with this order?”
”There is nothing wrong with this investigation order. Younger martial brother just wanted to ask, ”did you send this order here?”
Shen Jinghua shook his head first, and then asked with a serious face.
Facing Shen Jinghua's inquiry, the middle-aged man immediately denied:
”Elder martial brother, I haven't examined and approved this sealing order here!”
