Chapter Summary
In the end, someone paid a huge price and gave certain benefits to the various families, especially their agents in the capital. Many people change their minds about things that have been agreed upon, which is nothing to ordinary people, since what they say doesn't carry much authority. Isn't this just hypnotizing your son?" Normally, these people would never dare to speak like this, but now they have lost their minds.
The people were momentarily confused by the city lord's reaction. What did he mean? It wasn't like this before. Didn't he say he wanted to take a piece of Liu Ning's flesh? What's going on now? Are we just going to give up like this?
The fact that the city lord was able to reach this position was also the result of compromise among the various families. After the old man died, many people wanted this position, and they had to compete for it. In the end, someone paid a huge price and gave certain benefits to the various families, especially their agents in the capital.
That's why the city lord is able to sit here now; otherwise, who knows how long the commotion would have gone on. It is precisely because of this that after this incident, they all vowed to take a certain amount of profit from Liu Ning. They couldn't let Liu Ning take everything away; that was absolutely impossible. So there's nothing more to say about that.
Many people change their minds about things that have been agreed upon, which is nothing to ordinary people, since what they say doesn't carry much authority. It's normal for things to change today and tomorrow. But are the people in this house normal? The people in this house are all either very rich or very powerful. They control the operation of this city, and each of them has assets worth trillions.
You're practically a man of your word. If you were to speak carelessly, you probably wouldn't have many partners in the future. It's not like we can't find partners; why would we cooperate with someone as untrustworthy as you? Your Excellency is a very steady person, but what you did today was extremely unsteady.
We had already agreed on this, it was just that you stepped forward. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, are you going to abandon us all? If that's the case, then we have the power to bring you down. The way we put you on top, we can bring you down just as easily. Don't think you can act with impunity. What happened to Grandpa Han won't happen again.
When the Han family took control of the city, it was because they were careless. The Han family made many promises and promised to share a lot of benefits with them, but what was the final result? They got almost nothing. Because of this, these people were quite frustrated after these events. Under such circumstances, it's best not to do such things.
If they went too far, it would do no good for anyone. That's why they restrained themselves a lot after these things happened. As soon as the new city lord took office, they thought about setting up a municipal council and putting most of the work on the council. Even if the city lord changed his mind, there would be no other way.
That wouldn't cause them much harm, and everyone's rights could be balanced, so they could all have a voice in the city. But what's going on today? Is he another ungrateful person? So they looked at the city lord with puzzled expressions, wondering what he was thinking. Did he really want to end things like this?
"You don't need to look at me like that. I know what you're thinking. Perhaps you think I'm a despicable person. Well, I can tell you directly what kind of person I am. There are rumors about me in the capital. You can also investigate my past records."
I always give everyone a satisfactory answer when I do things, but today this matter must be changed. It's not that I'm breaking my promise, but that I need to save you this time. Have you all met Liu Ning? Have you all had any dealings with someone like that?
If you have such a person, you should make your own judgment. He is not a simple person. If you haven't met him, I hope you can go and see for yourselves. When facing such a person, it's best not to go too far.
This isn't good for any of us, and that's precisely why I hope you all understand. In this situation, it's best not to go too far, otherwise things will become difficult to handle. That's the most important thing.
No one present expected the city lord to say such a thing. They knew that Liu Ning was powerful and had a complex network of connections behind him, but they believed that if more than a dozen families united, they would have the resources to confront Liu Ning.
Besides these dozen or so families, they are not to be underestimated in the capital. Each family has its own people behind it, so if anything happens, they can always withstand the pressure. But then again, in the current situation...
If we don't do it properly, it won't do us any good. Only after we've done these things can we hold on steadily. If we can't hold on, it won't be good for anyone either. So this is the most important thing.
If you can't even do these things well, then there's something wrong with your brain. Everyone should understand this point. Some things don't need much explanation; just look at how we do them, and you'll know when you do these kinds of things.
"Lord City Lord, isn't it a bit much if you talk like that? We've done so much for you, and countless people in this city want your position. We've taken care of them all. You promised us back then, and now you're just making up this excuse. Isn't this just hypnotizing your son?"
Normally, these people would never dare to speak like this, but now they have lost their minds. For them, the current situation is unacceptable. Even if they could accept it, it absolutely cannot end like this. These people have gone too far. Don't they know what kind of situation they usually are in?
They spoke without any regard for age or social hierarchy. In this city, who would dare to speak to the city lord like that? Unless you've lost your mind, you absolutely wouldn't have the guts. Now it seems these guys are just pure water.
I have no idea what they're thinking. If that's really the case, they're going to suffer a huge loss in the future. I don't even need to think about it.
