It seems that Deputy City Lord Zhao Yu doesn't have a good relationship with his brother.
“Young Master.” Uncle Shan spoke cautiously, “Don’t blame me for being too talkative. This… Deputy City Lord Zhao Yu has two orcs and a brother. Although he especially dotes on his eldest son, the orc Zhao Shan, he doesn’t care about his second son, the orc Zhao Qi, and his youngest son, the brother Zhao Xiang. But he is a man who cares about his reputation very much. Yesterday, the City Lord took out all of Zhao Xiang’s assets and gave them to the young master, which shows that he doesn’t take him seriously. This time, Zhao Xiang was inexplicably injured… If I don’t give him an explanation, I’m worried that he will cause trouble for the City Lord.”
Wang Jin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "What is the current status of this deputy city lord in Ning'an City?"
Shan Bo said: "Before the city lord came of age, this deputy city lord had a lot of power, but after the city lord came of age, this power was slowly taken back by the city lord. Although he is still protecting the safety of the city, the main troops under his command still obey the city lord."
"In other words, he is now probably just a deputy city lord with an empty title?"
"Not entirely. A small number of orcs still obey him. Moreover, the position of deputy city lord is second only to the first person in Ning'an City, and the three hall masters must obey him."
“It’s not important.”
The three hall masters listened to him because of his title of deputy city lord. This title was given by his brother Xining. Naturally, if this title is taken back, his power will no longer exist... The most important thing is the orcs in his hands. According to what Shan Bo said, he does not have many orcs...
That's no problem at all...
I guess his brother Xining also saw through this, which is why he is so unscrupulous.
Wang Jin retracted his gaze, reached out and patted Uncle Shan on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Shan, don't worry. My brother has his own plans. Let's just pretend we know nothing."
Seeing that Shan Bo was still hesitant, Wang Jin said, "My brother is the mayor of Ning'an City. Don't you still trust him?"
Shan Bo waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I naturally believe the city lord."
Wang Jin said: "That's all, just leave it to my brother with peace of mind."
"What do you mean by brother?" Yuan Heng came over with breakfast in one hand and toiletries in the other, and put them on the table in front of Wang Jin. He asked, "Young man, are you becoming more and more dependent on the city lord now? Do you rely on brother for everything? And not on me?"
The man's tone carried a sour taste that he himself could not detect. Wang Jin was in a good mood after hearing it. He smiled and raised his face, as if he wanted the man to help him wash up.
Yuan Heng looked at Wang Jin helplessly, then resigned himself to washing his face and rinsing his mouth. Shan Bo watched and silently retreated.
After washing up, Wang Jin was still too lazy to reach out and opened his mouth directly towards the breakfast that had been placed on the table.
Looking like a hungry baby.
“…” Yuan Heng watched, sat down, and fed him a spoonful of porridge.
Wang Jin chewed the porridge and swallowed it, squinting his eyes in satisfaction. His satisfied and lazy look was just like a cat lying in the sun to bask in the sun.
Yuan Heng picked up a piece of cake and passed it to Wang Jin's mouth. Wang Jin took a small bite and said, "Brother Heng, look, I can't eat without you feeding me. How can I rely on you? I rely on you."
