Li Shi quickly followed Mao Shu to the government affairs office.
The major civil and military officials in Seven Star City ruled the mayor and suppressed dozens of people. They have been waiting here for a long time.
At this moment, seeing Li Shi coming out of the hall, they all cast their eyes on him.
It was the first time that most of the people saw Li Shi, and they all showed doubts.
Who is this boy? Where did City Lord Ma go?
Li Shi is wearing a blue-purple rhombus robes today, with a black jade band around his waist, and long black hair neatly tied in a black-blue crown of five beams.
With his upright posture and handsome face, the whole person looks domineering but elegant.
This dress was specially matched by Xiao Yun for Li Shi, which made Li Shihuan quite happy.
Li Shi sat on the throne of the city lord, with a deep gaze like a sharp sword, condescendingly scanning the people in the hall.
Some people may be aware of the incident outside the city two days ago, recognize Li Shi's identity, dare not look at Li Shi, and bow their heads respectfully.
But there were also a few people who saw Li Shi being so young, and were so disdainful that they stared back.
"This mansion, Li Shi, is the new lord of the Seven Star City." Li Shi spoke lightly, with the majesty of a superior, "Today I gather all the monarchs, first, I want to meet you, and second, I want to adjust a few positions."
The hearts of everyone in the hall were chilled, Li Shi would have no good chances, and those who came were not good!
The new official takes office with three fires, who is he going to use to start the roast?
"A certain boldly ask, does City Lord Li have an appointment document?"
A middle-aged man in a black official gown stood up and asked without a smile.
Li Shi frowned slightly. In the past, when Duke Tao Tang was founded, when the lord of each city first took office, he needed the hand-signed documents of the Duke.
It is only in recent years that Li Shen, the Grand Duke of Tao Tang, has suffered a serious illness, and Tao Du Gongting has no control over the other six major cities under his rule. This has led to the fact that the system of clerical appointments has survived in name.
Otherwise, more than ten years ago, Ma Huan would not easily win the Seven Star City.
But everyone has never said this to the face. The clerical matter is usually regarded as an unspoken rule. The black man made this point purely for disgusting Li Shi.
"presumptuous!"
Zhao Yun's eyes flickered in the eyes of Zhao Yun standing beside Li Shi, and the aura that belonged to the strong of the Earth Element Realm was instantly exposed.
With an angry shout, it was as if the Heaven-shattering Dragon's Yin was blasting in his ears, and instantly shook the middle-aged man's face pale, and his soul was not at home!
The man gritted his teeth and insisted: "Why? I got it right? Can't get the paperwork, intending to kill?"
"That is, you are a yellow-haired kid, why did you do this city lord?"
"Where did City Lord Ma go?! We only recognize City Lord Ma, not City Lord Shilaozi Li!"
Several people around supported the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed to have confidence again, straightened his waist, and looked at Li Shi provocatively.
Li Shi stretched out his hand to hold down Zhao Yun who was furious, and asked faintly, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man looked like he was at home: "No talent, Ni is a baron of the duchy, the mayor of Tonggu Town, so is Song Huai."
"Where are the monarchs beside me?" Li Shi asked again.
"Some is the mayor of Tongnan Town..."
"Some is the mayor of Dongyu Town..."
"Some is..."
Several people took turns to introduce themselves, concealed in a small group in the hall.
When Li Shi heard their names, he knew in his heart.
He had previously turned over the ledger in the city lord’s mansion and found that several towns such as Tonggu, Tongnan, and Dongyu paid tribute to Ma Huan a few large amounts of gold and silver jewels of unknown origin each year.
This can only show that they used the assets in their hands to reach a deal with Ma Huan.
And this kind of transaction is likely to be their mayor!
