Soon, Feng Jiu, dressed in red, came in from outside, followed by several elders. Everyone watched them come in, and their eyes naturally fell on the beautiful woman in red.
Is this the woman in red? She is so beautiful.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the woman in red was actually sitting in the main seat in the hall. When they saw where she sat, the eyes of everyone in the hall moved slightly.
Several elders stood to the left and right of Feng Jiu, looking at everyone in the hall, and said, "I asked you all to come here today because I have something to announce."
As the elder spoke, his eyes swept across the crowd, and then fell on the father and son of the Hong family, saying: "The city lord has stepped down and let the wise man take over. After discussion, we decided to elect someone to succeed the city lord, and this person is the patriarch of the Hong family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone opened their eyes wide in shock, looking at the elder who spoke, and the father and son of the Hong family, whose expressions remained the same as before, without any sign of shock.
"Let Patriarch Hong take over as the city lord?"
"That's right." The elder nodded: "In the future..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by one of them.
"Who on earth selected this person? I want to know, the people from various aristocratic families in the city are so outstanding, what virtue and ability does the head of the Hong family have to succeed the position of city lord? I hope there is an explanation that will convince us."
The elder glanced at the patriarch, then turned his gaze to Fengjiu, and then said: "This is not a discussion with you, but to tell you our decision. I think that who we in the City Lord's Mansion will nominate as the City Lord should have nothing to do with you!"
Hearing this, the patriarch frowned and said in a deep voice, "How is it irrelevant? There are many people who are better than him, why is it him? And who is this woman in red? Did you choose Patriarch Hong to inherit the position of city lord because of this woman in red?"
His eyes fell sharply on Fengjiu, and his sharp eyes were full of scrutiny and inquiry. What ability did this woman have? How could she make them obey her
"Haha, that's wrong. Who does our City Lord's Mansion plan to choose? Do we need your consent?" The great elder sneered calmly, "I just said that I invited you all here today just to tell you, not to listen to your opinions."
After hearing this, the head of the family felt a breath held back in his heart. Although he was not convinced, if the forces of the City Lord's Mansion and the Hong family were combined, they would have to be wary.
Compared to the patriarch, the others focused their attention on the woman in red. Seeing her sitting quietly drinking tea and not paying attention to what the patriarch said, they couldn't help but secretly sizing her up.
This woman has unfathomable strength and extraordinary bearing. How could such a person suddenly intervene in the affairs of this city? It is really puzzling.
However, I’m afraid that except for the people in the City Lord’s Mansion and the Hong family, no one else knows about this.
“Haha, I’ve been sitting here for so long, but I still don’t know what this girl’s name is?” One of the family heads said, looking at Feng Jiu who was drinking tea.
Hearing this, the elders and the head of the Hong family looked at Fengjiu, and then Fengjiu raised her eyes to look at the head of the family, and said with a slight curl of her lips, "Ghost Doctor."
