"Sir, your subordinates, your subordinates failed to stop the four monarchs." Two monks who were guarding outside the hall came in with their heads lowered and knelt on one knee in the hall.
"Go down and receive your punishment. Thirty lashes each!" Du Fan said in a calm voice.
"Yes!" The two men did not dare to beg for mercy. After hearing the thirty lashes, they quickly retreated.
This young man has only been in charge here for a short time, but his methods and abilities have made the people on the island feel awe. He always keeps his word, acts swiftly and vigorously, and enforces the law strictly. It is precisely because of this that in just a few days, no one on the island dared to have second thoughts.
Seeing this scene, the four monarchs' eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Do you have something to say?" Du Fan's voice softened a little. He put down the documents in his hand, leaned back, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
As for the four monarchs, not only did they not understand why Du Fan just left them alone and didn't cause them any trouble, even the two monks guarding Du Fan were puzzled.
Judging from his way of dealing with things and his ability, he should not be afraid of these four people. However, since none of the four showed up when he sent someone to call them over on the first day of taking over, he has treated the four monarchs as transparent air, which really makes people wonder what he is up to.
"Master Du, although we were called here by Lord Phoenix to await your orders, in our opinion, Master Du's age and experience are not enough to lead the four of us monarchs, so..." He was interrupted by Du Fan before he could finish his words.
"I'm so sorry that you came at a bad time. I have guests to meet today and I don't have time to listen to you guys talking about this." Du Fan said, looking at the four of them with a smile on his face: "If there is nothing else, you can go back first!"
Hearing this, the four of them were slightly stunned. They obviously hadn't expected him to say such a thing. They had come all the way here and had said it. Wouldn't he be angry and slam the table in anger
Why was he still smiling and telling them to go back in a gentle voice
For a moment, looking at the smile on his face, several people's hearts sank. They had a vague feeling of uneasiness and an inexplicable panic.
"Master Du, we..." Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice coming from behind him. Turning back, he saw more than a dozen monarchs coming towards him.
"The four of you go back first! As you can see, I have guests to meet here." Du Fan smiled, put down the teacup, and fanned himself with the fan in his hand.
"Send the four of you back." Du Fan said casually to the two monks beside him.
"Yes." The two monks responded respectfully and stepped forward to invite the four people: "Four, please."
Seeing this, the four of them looked at each other, pursed their lips, and then turned away. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Du Fan has always been gentle to them, and he has a smiling face without showing any displeasure. Even if they want to take this opportunity to get angry, they have no chance to do so.
What's more, there were more than a dozen monarchs present, so they could not cause trouble in front of them. So they could only go back and discuss it.
