832 Defined Summoning Card (1/2)

Chapter 832 – Defined Summoning Card

Gaia 4th year, 3rd month, 18th day, Nanjiang Governor-General House.

The three evaluators arrived at the main hall, and the first request they made was to release the merchant group. Ouyang Shuo naturally could not agree to that, ”I am sorry, but they broke the Shanhai City territory law system. Even me as a Lord cannot interfere.”

The three of them were anxious, ”One of them is an evaluator. At least release him?”

Ouyang Shuo shook his head once more.

”Without him, we cannot complete the evaluation.” The three of them started to use the evaluation to threaten him.

Ouyang Shuo smiled; he had discussed this matter with Wei Yang beforehand, ”Due to special circumstances, based on the special terms of the law system, we can allow that mister to engage in monitored activities. When the evaluation ends, he will return to the jail.”

”...”

The three of them were stunned.

Ouyang Shuo continued, ”Do not worry; he will not be treated unfairly in the jail. After he serves his time, I will personally return him to Dali.”

”Well then.”

Although the three of them were given power, they could not openly threaten Ouyang Shuo, this Lord.

After arriving at a consensus, the three of them introduced themselves. Including the man who was serving his sentence, the four of them came from the ministry of rites, ministry of appointments, ministry of revenue, and ministry of war.

The one leading them was from the ministry of rites Langzhong (official title) Mister He.

After a short while, Mister Li, who was the ministry of revenue Langzhong, was brought into the main hall. For the following evaluation, he would be followed by the bailiffs 24/7.

Mister Li seemed like he already knew the results of the discussion from both sides, so he had a dejected expression. How would he have known that he would be locked up just because of an evaluation? He would not have the face to return to Dali after this.

The leading Mister He said, ”Governor-General, we have evaluated the culture, commerce, people sentiments, and construction of Shanhai City. Now, all that remains is the military and technology development departments.”

Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze; they were going to take this chance to peek at the core secrets of Shanhai City.

”Sure.” Ouyang Shuo had no choice.

He wanted to see what these few civil servants could do.

As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo invited Du Ruhui and introduced him, ”Sirs, this is the Director of Military Affairs and he will accompany you in your evaluation. Anything you want to ask or base you want to go to, Mister Du will arrange it for you.”

Mister He nodded his head in satisfaction, ”That's great.”

Du Ruhui led the four toward the Guards Legion Corps camp before bringing them to areas such as the military workshop, shipyard, steelmaking factories, as well as cannon making base.

This part of the evaluation took another day.

On the morning of the 19th day, the four of them did a final evaluation in a side palace that Ouyang Shuo arranged for them.

Based on the report by Du Ruhui, they were honest in their evaluation and did not purposely seek out any problems. Ouyang Shuo was still feeling really nervous, and he was afraid that he missed out something.

After all, these people did not come here with good intentions.

3 PM, it was time for the results to be announced.

Within the main hall, apart from the convicted mister Li, the rest of them look normal. Mister He did a final description of the evaluation, ”Governor-General, the four of us were ordered to performed an all-round evaluation of Shanhai City. Through our discussion, we have all agreed that Shanhai City has passed. Congratulations.

At basically the same time, a System Notification sounded out by Ouyang Shuo's ear.

”System Notification: Congratulations Qiyue Wuyi, Capital City upgrade quest 1, politics, culture, technology, military, and economy have all reached good levels, quest complete!”

These people were truly stringent.

The mock evaluation by Jiang Shang found that all five indexes were exceptional while they said it was only good. If it were not for Shanhai City not having any weaknesses, they might have actually failed him.

”Finally passed!”

Two days ago, the 3rd quest, new soldier type, had already been completed.

Out of the three Capital City upgrade quests, only the 2nd quest was left. During this period of time, the various Prefectures and counties all checked their people, and they even went to the villages.

Regretfully, even in Minnan, they failed to find any fortune tellers.

This mysterious lady had become the biggest obstacle for Shanhai City.

'I have no choice. I have to use my last killing move.' Ouyang Shuo thought to himself.

Ouyang Shuo raised his head and smiled gently, ”Thank you all.”

”We were only following orders.” Mister He smiled too, ”Governor-General, the evaluation is already over, so can you release Mister Li? Do not worry, we will tell his majesty to punish him when we return, how about that?”

When Mister Li heard these words, a hopeful expression appeared on his face.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and shook his head, ”I said that I have no ability to interfere, and I really have no power to do so.”
