The Rise of the Shen Family

Chapter 308: Meeting the City Lord

Just as the surrounding people were discussing, the forehead of the foundation-building leader could not help oozing cold sweat, and bowed his hands to Shen Jinghua with a shy look on his face:

"Senior brother, I have been offended before, and I also ask senior brother to see the cold!"

Here, Shen Jinghua just glanced at him lightly, and then said:

"Since you and I are brothers and sisters from the same sect, we don't have to see the outside world like this!"

"Thank you, brother!"

After getting Shen Jinghua's answer, the commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, Shen Jinghua said leisurely:

"However, I would like to ask the younger brother to clarify, what exactly is the situation of being ordered by the City Lord's Mansion?"

In the face of Shen Jinghua's inquiry, the commander's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, a look of hesitating to speak.

"I really don't know about this Junior Brother, Junior Brother I just follow orders!"

After hesitating for a while, the commander directly took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Shen Jinghua.

"This is the seal of the City Lord's Mansion, and I invite my senior brother to take a look!"

Seeing that he even took out this jade slip, Shen Jinghua gave him a slightly surprised look, then took the jade slip and began to check it.

After a few breaths, Shen Jinghua's consciousness withdrew from the jade slip, and a strange expression appeared on his calm face, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart:

"It even printed the golden seal of the City Lord's Mansion!"

For a while, Shen Jinghua hesitated in his heart.

Judging from the situation just now, he knew very well that all this must be manipulated by the Huang family.

If the Huang family personally came forward to target him this time, he wouldn't take it to heart, and he could just drive them back. After all, now that Shen Hong has returned to the family, it is reasonable for him to come forward.

But now that the Huang family has seized the shop through the City Lord's Mansion, the matter has become a little more complicated.

After all, the City Lord's Mansion is also an official institution set up by Qingyunmen, and he is also a disciple of Qingyunmen, so he can't openly disobey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion and slap the face of the sect?

After a few breaths of effort, Shen Jinghua figured out the matter, held the jade slip in his hand and said directly to the commander:

"Junior brother, just do business as the jade slip said, and take us to the City Lord's Mansion!"

"this……"

After hearing this request made by Shen Jinghua, the commander couldn't help but froze there, not knowing what to say for a while.

Originally, he thought that today's task would not be completed, but he did not expect that Shen Jinghua would cooperate so much!

But soon, he reacted and immediately bowed to Shen Jinghua:

"Senior brother, offended!"

After speaking, he began to command the guards behind to seal the shop behind Shen Jinghua.

"You don't have to worry, go to the City Lord's Mansion with them first, and I will handle the matter!"

Shen Jinghua turned his head and warned the couple behind Shen Ruiling and Shen Hong.

Here, Shen Ruiling had already communicated with his sixth uncle. He knew what his sixth uncle thought, so he nodded.

The Shen Hong couple on the side had no choice but to trust Shen Jinghua, so they had no choice but to nod their heads.

...

In this way, Shen Jinghua and the others were taken to the City Lord's Mansion, and their shop was also sealed up.

With the departure of the escort, the crowd of onlookers began to gradually leave.

However, what happened just now and this shop instantly became the focus of people, and they all started to talk about it, which made Shen Jinghua and his shop also popular.

...

After half an hour, Shen Jinghua and his party came to the door of a majestic building. The plaque on the door clearly read three big characters, City Lord's Mansion!

Seeing that it had been brought to the place where he came, the commander hurriedly asked:

"Brother, what are your orders now?"

Here, after Shen Jinghua glanced at him, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Just follow the orders you received, Junior Brother!"

"This... I'm afraid it's not right!"

The commander hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly:

"Junior brother, the order I received is to put people in jail immediately after arrest!"

After hearing this, Shen Jinghua frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"Trouble the junior brother to put the three of them in a room first, and I will talk about it after I go to see the city master!"

"So good, I'll arrange it!"

The commander breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Jinghua gratefully.

After all, at this time, he was completely caught between Shen Jinghua and his immediate superior, and both sides were existences that he could not offend!

In this way, after seeing the three of Shen Ruiling being taken away, Shen Jinghua walked into the city lord's mansion and handed over his sect token.

After seeing Shen Jinghua's token, these guards didn't dare to stop him, and took him all the way to the office of the city master.

...

At this time, in a quiet study room in the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance was concentrating on dealing with various things on the table.

Suddenly, a man dressed as a servant walked into the study and said to the middle-aged man:

"Reporting to the city lord, there is a person who is holding an inner disciple of the sect to ask to see you!"

"Inner disciple?"

The middle-aged man slowly put down the wolf pen in his hand, and murmured with some doubts.

"Can the other party have a notified name?"

"Yes, he said his name is Shen Jinghua!" The servant thought for a moment and said.

"Shen Jinghua...Shen Jinghua?..."

After the middle-aged man murmured a few times, a sharp light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he murmured uncertainly:

"Is it him?"

After a few breaths of silence, a happy smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged man, and he said aloud:

"Hurry up and invite him to the parlour, I'll be right there!"

"Yes!"

...

At this time, Shen Jinghua had already been taken to the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Senior, please wait a moment, the Lord of the City will be here in a while!"

A maid with a beautiful face came to Shen Jinghua and said softly, and helped him make a cup of spiritual tea.

"it is good!"

Shen Jinghua took the spirit tea and began to wait quietly.

At this time, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly floated over from a distance.

"Junior Brother Shen!"

After hearing this burst of laughter, Shen Jinghua looked into the distance somewhat unexpectedly.

I saw a middle-aged man in a brown Taoist robe at the entrance walking towards him with great strides.

After seeing the person coming, Shen Jinghua's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and then he bowed his hands and said:

"Senior Brother Song!"

The moment Shen Jinghua spoke, the middle-aged man came to him, helped him up, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Senior brother, you're welcome!"

After being lifted up, Shen Jinghua looked at the middle-aged man and asked in confusion:

"Why are you here, brother?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Shen Jinghua's face, the middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh, and said with some playfulness:

"Junior brother came to meet the city lord. Could it be that he still doesn't know who this city lord is?"

Hearing this, Shen Jinghua was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and asked back with some uncertainty:

"Could it be that the city lord of Yunbei City is your senior brother?"

After seeing the middle-aged man nodding slightly at him, Shen Jinghua couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face, and then he cupped his hands again to congratulate:

"Congratulations, brother!"

I saw the middle-aged man wave his hand, as if complaining:

"He Laizhixi, I am so busy every day!"

...   For a while, the two Shen Jinghua, who had just met, began to chat.
