Chapter 2740: Break It up with One Move!

Mr. Su had already spread the word early the next morning, and soon the people in the city also knew the news. At this time, several people in another big house also began to plot.

"What's going on? This old man should obviously obey, why is he still in so much trouble?"

"Have you not investigated before? With such a result, is it possible that the old man has other powers that he has not used?"

Mr. Su, the person they investigated before, should be more tolerant, not to mention that he is quite old. At this time, they should take the initiative to give up the position and hand over the position to others. This way, there will be less trouble.

But they really didn't expect that the old man would actually do something like this at this time, but they couldn't refuse.

"Forget it, forget it, don't think so much. In the worst case, just take it one step at a time. Anyway, he won't make any splash. The most he can do is go meet him at noon, and then go down to this group of common people. By then, this position will be different. Is it still ours?”

The young man who said he wanted to be the city lord said very irritably.

Soon it was the appointed time at noon, and Mr. Su came here with Ye Chen and Su Yuhan.

The common people also gathered here, as well as the so-called candidates for the new city lord who came to take office.

"Well, which one of you is the candidate mentioned by the court? It is convenient for the people to recognize you if we come out to get to know each other. Otherwise, no one may know that you are in office."

Ye Chen took a step forward and said with a smile, as if he was the kind of person who was very easy to bully.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

The young man standing in the middle took a step forward and forced his chest out, looking as if he was very excited.

"It's nothing, I'm just asking. Now that everyone has collected it, let's talk about our new city lord this time!"

Ye Chen didn't answer the other party's provocative words. He turned around and walked to the middle of the square platform, then faced the people.

"Since everyone has come here today, I won't talk nonsense. I would like to say hello to everyone on behalf of Mr. Su."

"We don't have a city lord in our group, but Mr. Su has been doing pretty well, and he can be considered a half-manager. He also has a certain say in today's matter, don't you think so?"

What Ye Chen said was very fair, so the people below responded to him immediately.

When the young people opposite heard what they were doing, they immediately became a little unhappy, but they couldn't stand up to refute, after all, they hadn't sat in that position yet!

"Mr. Song has been working hard for many years. Everyone usually sees it and keeps it in mind. I believe everyone knows this. But now that someone from the imperial court wants to be the city lord, Mr. Su himself has nothing to do with it. I have other ideas, but not everyone can take the position of City Lord."

Although Ye Chen said this without directly stating it or implying it, the hint was not subtle.

"Yes, our city lord must be a virtuous man, and Master Su is very suitable!"

"Even Mr. Su, you are not very old now. You can definitely continue to be our city lord. Wait until the next person has the talent and strength, and then come up and continue."

"Even these people don't know their origins. They say they are the new city lords, right?"

Ye Chen, who was standing above, felt quite happy when he heard what the people below said.

Fortunately, my father-in-law is indeed a very responsible and serious person on weekdays, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find so many supporters now.

And this is also a big enough foundation that allows him to expose the true colors of these people in a while. The emotional card is indeed very practical at this time.

Ye Chen knew that enough was enough at any time, so when he reached this point, he stopped talking and took a step back.

Mr. Su walked to the spot where he was standing before and said to everyone.

"I am very grateful to all the folks for their love, and now there are candidates for the new city lord."

"In that case, let me test whether he is suitable for the new city lord. I believe everyone has no objections, right?"

As soon as Mr. Su finished speaking, everyone responded naturally.

And it's Ye Chen's job now.

Looking at Ye Chen holding a folding fan in his hand, he walked to the middle of the stage like a talented man.

"This first question comes from me. I hope you gentlemen don't think I'm bullying you. I'm just asking the truth. I hope you can give me a suitable answer."

Ye Chen didn't intend to embarrass these people very straightforwardly, but just by looking at them, he knew that they probably had no real talent, and he probably came here to defraud them of money.

Where can I ride from the imperial court? It is very remote and is an area controlled by myself.

That's why they wanted to try out the real thing as a comfort, and since they've already come, it wouldn't be a good idea not to let them show off their talents.

In fact, Ye Chen can be so sure in his heart that they must not be real. Another reason is that the city here itself is under the control of Guiqinglongmen.

If there is such information, it should be sent to him first, so if there is not, then these people are lying.

"In that case, you can ask questions!"

Those people were actually a little flustered, because they couldn't prevent what kind of questions Ye Chen would ask, and they were afraid of being harassed, but they could only bite the bullet.

This was actually only the third time they did this. The first two times were in very small places, so the news was also blocked and they were not discovered.

This time, they finally made a big deal, but they never thought that they would hit a wall all of a sudden, and it seemed that Ye Chen was not someone who was easy to deal with.

"Don't be too nervous, I just asked a question about the people, it's very simple to type it out, not to mention that you should be knowledgeable people from the capital, so how can this little thing be difficult for you?"

Ye Chen said politely.

Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, lowered his head and smiled slightly, and then raised his head and asked.

"Aren't you all very strong? I guess you should be the top scholar or something like that?"

"I wonder if there are any of you on the list of successful candidates. If such a person becomes the city lord in the future, it will definitely be a certain benefit to our city!"

Ye Chen spoke slowly and not at all, not giving the other party a sense of oppression, but he praised them all very highly invisibly.

It was as if they were the kind of outstanding generals who were almost untouchable.

Before the city lord said anything, the subordinate next to him took a step forward anxiously and said very proudly.

"Of course, our young master is the third place in the imperial examination!"

Ye Chen listened to his full-blooded answer and thought that this sentence should be true, but he didn't know if there was any water mixed in it.

"It would be the best if such a talent came to us. Then let's get started?"

Ye Chen had a rough idea in his mind, and then started the next link.

He asked his servants to bring up the table, as well as the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and handed him to the so-called Tanhua. Then Ye Chen verbally gave him a question to answer.

The man seemed to be standing there with his hands and feet tied, as if he was not very familiar with all this.

Ye Chen then asked his men to help him deal with all this, and then dipped the pen in ink and handed it to him.

He himself felt that he had done it almost troublesomely, and it was very fitting and seamless. The other party had no way to refuse, and there was no way to find other excuses or reasons to shirk this matter.

This was also the most careful point Ye Chen did.

The next time was that the candidate for the city lord wrote a whole page of words here in full view of everyone, and then stopped writing directly.

He wrote very little in itself, not to mention that he had no strength, so all this could almost be called a fabrication.

At this time, Ye Chen had been observing the people behind him, and the behavior and demeanor of one of them directly attracted Ye Chen's attention.

This person looked more elegant, but for some reason he mixed with these people.

Looking at what this person wrote at the end, Ye Chen almost laughed out loud.

First of all, the handwriting was very sloppy, and the content was almost irrelevant. 70% of the questions he asked were irrelevant.

At this time, Ye Chen had already roughly understood that there might be one of these people who was indeed a third place winner.

But it could only be the person he just looked at, and this person might also be their military advisor, giving advice.

Otherwise, with the IQ of these few people and their ability to handle things, they would have no chance of entering this city to deceive people. They would just be fools pretending to be gods.

Ye Chen quickly hung up what this person wrote. The teammate behind him almost dared not look up to read it. It was almost a mess. Ye Chen felt really funny. He didn't know why they didn't let that person talk and just act as the city lord. In this way, maybe they could really fool today's trap. It's a pity that it's useless to say it now. The people in the city also saw that something was wrong. If it was really the third place, how could he not even answer this question? And the words written on it looked like a talisman paper, messy.

It was impossible to recognize what was written, blurry and complicated.

"You are just a fake city lord. There is no news from the court, so all this is just a conspiracy you made!"

Ye Chen saw that the people had begun to look at each other at this time, so he immediately succeeded in standing in the middle and shouting angrily at those people.

As soon as he started here, the people below didn't intend to hold back. After all, these were just a few young people who were deceiving people.

Compared with Master Su next to him, he was simply asking for trouble. The contrast was stark.

"What are you talking about? How could we be fake? I warn you, don't question the news we brought. This crappy question you made up from nowhere doesn't mean anything at all!"

Those people were already a little panicked, especially the one who just answered the question, who was very angry and cursed at Ye Chen directly.

"You should have known enough before you came here, and knew that this city was protected by the Qinglong Gate, right?"

Seeing that they were still a little unconvinced, Ye Chen asked directly.

Hearing him mention Qinglongmen, those who tried to fish in troubled waters suddenly became a little flustered.

They had investigated before they came, but they also knew that almost everyone in Qinglongmen was on the mountain these days.

They couldn't come down the mountain, and they couldn't know these things, so they dared to come and touch them so recklessly.

This was something they didn't expect. It was really too unfortunate that they ran into Ye Chen just after coming in.

"Qinglongmen didn't receive the so-called court news at all. All this was made up by you."

"Impossible, we came with the news, so what if they didn't receive it? I advise you not to rely on the previous foundation here and don't want to resist us. This is absolutely not possible!"

Although they were still arrogantly saying such words, they were actually a little lacking in confidence.

"Really? But I'm the leader of Qinglongmen."

"What's wrong? You don't want to take advantage of the fact that you've lived here for a long time to exploit us, do you? What leader? Qinglongmen? Leader!"

The man who was just shouting was instantly frightened by the words he repeated.

His eyes stayed on Ye Chen, looking at this man who seemed to be not much different in age from them, and then looked at him, and took out the jade card from his waist calmly.

Although they had never seen it before, they had encountered these jade cards of the leaders when they were studying.

Even if the other people didn't know them, this disguised person and the third place behind him should know.

"I didn't receive any news from anywhere else, and you guys should be scammers wandering around the world, but this time it was really unfortunate that I just happened to meet you, and I'm here too."

Ye Chen put away the card, and his expression became serious.

He really didn't expect that this group of people would be so embarrassed just to recite a question, and it was really easier to solve than he thought.

"Master, spare us! We know we are wrong!"

"We will never do such a thing again, please give us a way out!"

"Let us do anything for the leader here, as long as we can save our lives!"

Only in such an extremely dangerous and worrying situation will they suddenly become humble and servile, as if they are pitiful people.

But Ye Chen will not be easily deceived by them.
