Chapter 33 Everything goes wrong in Yan City, and Xiao Ting's hair turns white!
Yan City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord City Lord, ever since the water quota was halved, the common people have been complaining bitterly... Especially after the young city lord publicly promised to find a water source, giving everyone hope, only to return in defeat, the common people's resentment has only grown stronger..."
Furthermore, you labeled those soldiers as deserters, and even their families were labeled as deserter families and driven out of Yan City...and...
The three leaders, holding a thick stack of parchment scrolls, reported to City Lord Xiao Ting one by one.
"Enough! Three times a day, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet?"
Hearing about these trivial matters, Xiao Ting scratched his head, feeling annoyed.
Things have been going wrong in Yancheng these past few days.
The key point is that he never had to worry about these trivial matters before.
But now, the three leaders are bothering him every day, and he almost couldn't resist striking them with lightning.
All of this happened like a domino effect.
The cause began when the eldest son, Xiao Yu, ran away from home.
No sooner had Xiao Yu left than Yan City ran out of water...
Then, the second son, Xiao Tian, being competitive, volunteered to go out and find a water source...
As a result, this created a huge mess, and the more they tried to cover it up, the more trouble they got...
"Sigh..." Seeing the city lord's shameless and irresponsible attitude, the three leaders could only sigh.
The former city lord was so high and mighty, like a god.
But now... he has a few strands of white hair, and the city lord is only in his early forties!
"Lord City Lord, why don't you go find Xiao Yu instead?"
Finally, the three leaders couldn't help but persuade him, "After all, you are his father. How can there be any grudge between father and son that lasts overnight? Xiao Yu is a kind-hearted child. As long as you go to find him yourself, he will definitely come back!"
Everything in Yancheng is going wrong, and there is widespread discontent.
It wasn't just City Lord Xiao Ting who felt frustrated; those of them who were handling the affairs were the ones who suffered the most!
In the past, when Xiao Yu was the young city lord, he had neither a lack of water nor a lack of food...
The three leaders, who were in charge of managing the city's food, clothing, and daily necessities, could also make a considerable amount of extra money.
But what about now? Ordinary people at the bottom of society can't even solve their most basic problems of food and drink.
He has to argue with those ordinary people every day, it's endless.
Forget about making any extra money; what they had already gained, they've actually lost a lot of.
Previously, Xiao Tian had orchestrated Xiao Yu's departure, a fact that most of the higher-ups were well aware of.
However, the city lord and his wife favored their son Xiao Tian, but disliked their eldest son Xiao Yu...
Moreover, with so many people dying at the time, everyone wanted to shirk responsibility and find someone to take the blame...
For various reasons, not a single person in the higher-ups stood up to defend Xiao Yu.
Now, the three leaders are starting to regret their actions.
If I had known... Yan City would turn out like this after Xiao Yu was driven away.
He would have stood up for justice back then!
"What did you say? You want me to go find that rebellious son myself?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"I did nothing wrong! Everything I made was for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Yan City!"
"Moreover, as the God of Thunder and as a father, how could I possibly be wrong?"
Xiao Ting glared at the three leaders, his eyes filled with anger, and also with a kind of impotent rage.
Originally, he was not an incompetent person.
Over the years, Xiao Yu has done everything by himself.
This allowed him to live a life of ease and comfort, becoming accustomed to a life of luxury.
Now, do you want him to admit his mistake and bow his head in shame?
What a joke, how could he possibly make a mistake?
"Handle these things yourself, and... you don't need to report to me anymore!" Finally, after venting his anger, Xiao Ting waved his hand impatiently.
"No, Lord City Lord, I..." The three leaders were dumbfounded.
What the hell am I supposed to do? The problem is, there's not enough water right now!
Does the city lord intend to personally go out to find a water source?
Or should we let him, the third leader, find the water source himself?
But these people are used to a life of luxury, who would want to go into the forest and take risks?
Let's find Xiao Yu as soon as possible!
"okay!"
Seeing that the three leaders refused to leave, Xiao Ting was furious, but he had to suppress his anger and patiently said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, my Yan City will soon obtain a treasure. At that time, Yan City's strength will be greatly enhanced, and all problems will be solved."
"What treasure?" The third leader looked suspicious and didn't quite believe it.
Now, what could be more important than bringing Xiao Yu back?
"Lord City Lord, the four leaders have returned!" The subordinate suddenly reported as the two were talking.
"Look, speak of the devil and he appears!" Xiao Ting immediately smiled and quickly invited the man in.
However, when they saw the fourth leader, Mad Dragon, Xiao Ting and the third leader widened their eyes.
At this moment, the four leaders, Mad Dragon, were covered in blood, and one of their arms was broken.
After a while.
"What did you say? So many people died, and that thing was still lost?" After hearing Kuanglong explain what had happened, Xiao Ting flew into a rage and smashed a bone drinking cup on the ground.
The Black Demon Tribe was a very sharp knife in his hands.
If any force dares to disobey, we will use them to destroy it.
However, this knife has developed too rapidly in recent years, and it even seems to want to devour its master.
Xiao Ting naturally couldn't tolerate this and had been secretly investigating.
The spies finally uncovered the secret of the Black Demon tribe...
However, he was discovered by the other party and killed to silence him.
Fortunately, Kuanglong claimed that he had finally found the glowing tree and was sure he would be able to obtain it.
With the glowing tree, Yan City will surely reach new heights, and the current problems will no longer be a problem!
As a result, Xiao Ting waited with great anticipation for three days, but ultimately failed.
"Damn bastards! If Xiao Yu had wiped them out earlier, none of this mess would have happened!!"
Upon hearing this, both leaders looked at the city lord in surprise.
Back then, Xiao Yu almost wiped out the Black Demon Tribe, a major scourge, in order to avenge his master and friend.
At the last moment, didn't you send people to stop Xiao Yu? And you forbade Xiao Yu from seeking revenge.
Now, the Black Demon Tribe has grown powerful and influential, even colluding with Flame City's sworn enemies to harm many of their own kind...
For a moment, the two leaders looked at each other and could only shake their heads with wry smiles.
This father and son are really good at shirking responsibility!
Seeing that Xiao Ting was about to get angry, Kuanglong could only cover his broken arm with one hand and kneel on one knee, saying:
"Lord City Lord, please calm down! Although we didn't get the treasure, I captured Black Poison Bee, the fifth leader of Black Earth City! I suspect that Black Earth City discovered us long ago and secretly moved the items. If we torture Black Poison Bee severely, we might be able to find the treasure."
"I'm leaving this to you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ting's hope was rekindled.
He was determined to get this treasure!
"Thank you, Lord City Lord! However..."
The fourth leader, Kuanglong, thanked them, but then his tone changed and his eyes turned fierce. "Lord City Lord, the Black Demon Tribe colluded with outsiders to deliberately incite a beast tide... and they also joined forces with Black Earth City to besiege us, causing almost all of the dozens of brothers I brought with me to be killed or wounded!"
I beg Your Majesty, may I lead my troops to wipe out these beasts first!
In his view, the Black Demon tribe had discovered them long ago, which led to the series of events that followed.
So many of his men died; how could he not avenge such a deep-seated hatred?
Moreover, the Black Demon Tribe has developed so rapidly over the years and has amassed a considerable amount of resources.
After wiping out that band of bandits and looting all the resources, he can at least swallow up most of them.
"Those bastards deserved to die! But..."
Xiao Ting nodded in agreement; he also wanted to plunder the resources of the Black Demon Tribe.
However, thinking of his extremely rebellious eldest son, he waved his hand and said coldly:
"They're still at war with the Maple Leaf Tribe. Wait until the Maple Leaf Tribe is destroyed before you make your move..."
