low-key
Yuelai City, the prefect's mansion.
Ye Fan had been here twice. At that time, the prefect's mansion was full of people, but at this moment, it was terrible.
The entire prefect's palace was filled with a silence.
Ye Fan walked to the lobby of the Prefect's Mansion, which was where he fought against the seven city lords.
At this moment, Liao Wuyi, Sun E and others were afraid that they all died in the massacre.
"Dingdeng!"
Just as Ye Fan was exploring around, a sudden sound of footsteps came.
Looking up, I saw an elderly middle-aged man rushing to come excitedly, with a national face, giving people a sense of justice.
"Is the new prefect who came?" said an excited voice from the middle-aged man.
"Who are you? What does it have to do with Sun Xu?" Ye Fan was a little surprised. How did this person guess his identity? Was it because he entered the prefect's mansion?
"I am Xie Yuan, the lord of Nanxi City nearby. I am here to wait for the arrival of the new prefect!"
The middle-aged man looked up at Ye Fan, but felt a little familiar.
"Where are the other city lords?" Ye Fan said lightly. Sun Xu had fourteen cities under him, but only one of them came at this moment. What's the reason?
"I don't know if you are..."
Xie Yuan did not answer immediately, but continued to ask back.
The only one who dared to come to this prefect's mansion this time was the new prefect, but without the token, he still could not recognize Ye Fan's identity.
"I am the new prefect, Ye Fan!"
Ye Fan knew that the process was still going to go, so he did not make things difficult for Xie Yuan. He took out the Golden Phoenix Order and introduced himself.
"I am Xie Yuan, pay homage to the prefect!"
The moment he saw the Golden Phoenix Order, Xie Yuan looked excited and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and politely said.
"Okay, get up, now you can answer my question!"
Ye Fan waved his hand and asked at the same time.
The prefect takes over, and the fourteen city lords should welcome and visit together.
"Oh, I have a long story. Please come in, please let my subordinates tell you!"
Xie Yuan sighed and invited Ye Fan to the lobby.
Sitting upright in the lobby, Ye Fan saw that there were too few people, so he called out bloodthirsty and gave him the identity of a personal soldier.
He is a prefect and it is a bit sad to be alone.
"Xie Yuan, let me first introduce the recent situation here and Shangrui Land!"
After Ye Fan sat upright in the main seat of the lobby, he suddenly changed his mind.
He didn't know much about Shangrui Land, so he had to put his position right first.
"I'm just thinking this!"
Xie Yuan nodded, and seeing Ye Fan so young, he really wanted to give a good introduction.
"Your Majesty should know the five lands in the heavenly realm, and the East Pole has a vast territory, which is the largest of the five lands. There are six states in the East Pole, and each state is divided into hundreds of counties. Below the county, there are cities!"
Xie Yuan explained in detail.
Basically, the situation in this East Pole is clearly included.
"Then what county is here?" Ye Fan asked subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, there were so many tricks in the East Pole Land. He had known about the city before, and the prefect was the city lord's boss.
"This is Pingyong County, which belongs to Fuzhou!" Xie Yuan explained.
"What is Pingyong County's status in Fuzhou?" Ye Fan continued to ask.
His position is gradually being cleared.
"There are 131 counties in Fuzhou. Although Pingyong County is not large in area and there are not many cities in the county, it is close to Yuxu Palace, one of the six major forces, and it can be said to be a fragrant bun. I believe many people have been coveting your position for a long time!"
Xie Yuan introduced without any modesty at all.
"I have been coveting for a long time? Then why is no one interested in me when I stepped into this position?" Ye Fan sneered, with a cold look in his eyes.
How could he be happy that the dignified prefect was actually neglected? However, within his expectations, Xie Yuan was beyond Ye Fan's expectations.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the city lord would come to guide him.
"When Sun Xu was there, did you have a good relationship with him?" Thinking of this, Ye Fan suddenly asked.
"Premier Sun promoted me to one hand and was as kind as a mountain!"
Xie Yuan focused on the key points.
"If you announce it, just say that the prefect of Pingyong County has arrived!"
Ye Fan announced lightly, and then disappeared into the lobby.
Xie Yuan no longer needs to explain this matter. He didn't know the deadline before the city lord had reached this point. Ye Fan could give those city lords a chance.
But after this news came out, if they didn't come, they would be disrespectful to the prefect, and then no wonder Ye Fan would be blamed.
Xie Yuan hurriedly followed Ye Fan, called an official in charge of registration, registered his identity for Ye Fan, and obtained a red token with six golden runes on it, demonstrating Ye Fan's grade.
In the Shangrui Dynasty, as the lord of a county, the prefect could not spontaneously go to the court, but it was also registered and ranked as the sixth rank official.
The reason why Ye Fan's takeover was so low-key was mainly because Shangshu Ling Xuanyi took on this matter directly and should not be too high-profile.
After asking Xie Yuan to announce the news, Ye Fan waited in the prefect's office. When he took office, he should judge the situation and see the situation and attitudes of all parties. He could still wait for this day.
In a place in Yuelai City, where the luxury is no less than that of the prefect's mansion, a group of gloomy men were sitting upright in the lobby for a meeting.
"Father, the new prefect is on the throne. Should we go there tomorrow?" A man who looked a little like the third young master who died before advised the old man in the first place.
"What's the point of going to? Just find twenty women from the mansion and send them there!"
The old man's face was gloomy. He had been angry for the last afternoon because of the third young master's affairs.
"Father, if you don't go to meet the new prefect in person, the child will be confused!"
The man frowned.
"Your son is dead, and you are still in the mood to think about this!"
The old man blew his beard and stared at him, not taking the new prefect at all.
What he was thinking about at this moment was who was the strong man who dared to kill directly.
"Father, there are not many other people in my Yuan family, but there are many descendants. My father doesn't need to be too sad for the death of San'er!"
The man was a little heartless.
Hearing this, the old man at the top stopped talking, and I don’t know if he was convinced or was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
"Okay, second brother, you'd better stop talking. None of us can go to the new prefect. It's enough to send a few women to express our meaning. If he takes office, he should give him some advice!"
A man concluded.
Hearing this, everyone nodded and congratulated himself. In their opinion, it would only make the new prefect mistakenly think that the Yuan family was bowing their heads.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that in the heart of the new prefect, they were not far from extermination of the clan.
The old man even unexpectedly, the strong man who killed his grandson was the new prefect. (To be continued)
