Chapter 2075: Influential figure (1) Chapter 2075: Influential figure (1) “City Lord, can you explain the cause and effect?” the palace master asked calmly.

Duan zhanlong had a faint smile on his face as he roughly explained the matter.

Among them, Wu Yuan had incited a small matter that could have been handled in a low-key manner and made it known to everyone, causing the father and daughter to suffer an unjust humiliation.

Qiu qizhi blinked as he listened.

He believed that Duan zhanlong’s words were most likely true after hearing only half of it.

Because Wu Yuan was indeed one of the few members who knew about the experiential learning, he had the ability to secretly tell the city Lord about Duan Xiaoqing’s whereabouts.

The most important thing was that Wu Yuan had a grudge with Xia qingchen, and he also had this motive.

If I’m not wrong, it should be Wu Yuan.

He could not help but glare at Wu Yuan.

It was no wonder that the city Lord Manor had made such a big move to deal with Xia qingchen during the past three days.

So it turned out that Wu Yuan was the one who was causing trouble.

After he finished speaking, Duan zhanlong pointed at Wu Yuan.

she’s yours.

I’ll hand her over to you.

You’ll have to give me an explanation!

The hall master’s face was calm.

He turned his head and stared coldly at Wu Yuan, “”Really?”
Wu Yuan said,”No…” No…

It’s true, I did it.

”
He had wanted to deny it, but looking at the palace master’s eyes, which were getting colder and colder, he knelt down with a plop.

Palace master, I was wrong.

I was blinded by greed and caused great trouble for the city master and brought shame to the Dao impartment Palace.

But I swear, I didn’t expect this to happen!

It would be a wonder if he hadn’t thought of it!

This was exactly the situation he wanted.

Otherwise, why would he reveal the stellarsky city’s ranking in advance?

He was a murderer!

Duan zhanlong smiled and didn’t say a word.

From his calm appearance, one couldn’t tell that he had once had a strong killing intent.

“Bastard!” Division Head Zhou gave Wu Yuan a backhanded slap and sent him flying.

He then said angrily: the young Hall master of the Dao impartation Hall’s ninth Hall has actually committed such a despicable act!

Wu Yuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed with a sincere and remorseful expression.

“I know I was wrong.

I will accept any punishment from the hall master.”
His heart was filled with apprehension, but he was not afraid.

Because he had already anticipated what kind of punishment the hall master would give.

“Of course I have to be punished for making a mistake!” Division Head Zhou said angrily, ” you will be demoted by one rank.

You will also be fined one year.

In addition, you will have to apologize to the city Lord.

As expected!

Wu Yuan wanted to laugh.

The punishment was as expected.

He wasn’t even fired, just demoted and fined.

What was a demotion?

As long as he was still in the Dao impartment Hall, he would be promoted back sooner or later.

As for the penalty, he didn’t care about his salary at all.

The Dao impartation Hall provided all kinds of martial arts resources to the staff, but the salary was just a symbolic thing.

It was only one or two gold coins a year.

What was the use?

The punishment was almost ineffective.

After saying that, Hall master Zhou looked at Duan zhanlong with an apologetic look, “”I didn’t manage to control him well enough and let my men cause trouble for the city Lord.

I’m giving him a small punishment as a warning to the other members of Dao impartation Hall to prevent them from offending the city Lord again.”
Duan zhanlong laughed in anger.

Division Head Zhou, this Division Head of yours has caused me a lot of trouble.

Others might not know, but you should be clear about it.

As a branch of the nation-level Dao impartment Hall, Hall master Zhou’s information channels shouldn’t be bad.

He should be able to analyze that Duan zhanlong’s political career had been greatly threatened this time.

It definitely wasn’t as simple as causing some trouble on the surface!

This little punishment wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!

Division Head Zhou put on a good face and said with an apologetic smile:”Who can live a life without mistakes?

This punishment is enough to wake little Wu up.

Please give little Wu a chance to turn over a new leaf, city Lord.”
He clearly knew, but he was pretending not to know.

Duan zhanlong stared at Division Head Zhou indifferently.

There was a sense of uncertainty in his eyes, ” I think it’s best for Hall master to handle this fairly.

Otherwise, it might be too late for regrets.

Division Head Zhou’s smile did not decrease as he laughed:”City Lord, do you think I’m not fair enough?”
Seeing Division Head Zhou acting dumb and wanting to protect Wu Yuan no matter what, Duan zhanlong shrugged his shoulders, “”Forget it.

I’ve given you a chance, so don’t blame me for helping you in the future.”
With that, he turned around and left.

Division Head Zhou smiled and cupped his fists:”Take care, city Lord.”
When Duan zhanlong disappeared from his sight, the smile on Division Head Zhou’s face gradually disappeared.

He said indifferently, “”It’s not up to outsiders to meddle in the Dao impartation Hall’s Affairs.”
Qiu qizhi was the only one who was deep in thought.

“Hall master, what is the opportunity that the city Lord was talking about?

Why do I feel like he has a deeper meaning?”
Division Head Zhou thought for a moment and said: ” it’s probably a threat.

He’s in big trouble this time.

Of course, he knew a little about the news from the higher-ups.

He had heard that the first Prince wanted to remove Duan zhanlong from his position.

Combined with Duan zhanlong’s recent actions, he could basically confirm that Duan zhanlong was in an extremely difficult situation.

Thinking up to this point, he turned around and fiercely glared at Wu Yuan, berating,”If it wasn’t for the Dao impartment Palace’s strong foundation, you would’ve been crushed to death!”
He had caused so much trouble for the number one person in the stellarsky city that he would not be able to vent his hatred even if he crushed Wu Yuan a hundred times.

Wu Yuan lowered his head, but he felt very comfortable in his heart.

He said proudly,”So what if you’re the city Lord?

So what if I schemed against you?

Aren’t you still going to be suppressed like a turtle’s grandson?”
However, Qiu qizhi did not think that things were that simple.

He glanced at Wu Yuan with some confusion between his brows and said,”City Lord, since you’re in so much trouble, why didn’t you kill Wu Yuan to vent your anger?

why did you send him to my Dao impartment Hall?”
He was the city Lord, and he had killed Wu Yuan.

What could the Dao impartment Palace do to him?

There was no need to send him back to the Dao impartment Palace and ask for an explanation.

The palace master’s brows were also slightly furrowed, obviously a little confused and puzzled, but after thinking about it, he didn’t think much of it, “”We’ve already sent them back, so there’s no need to worry about the rest,”
“Don’t tell anyone about this,” he said.

“Understood!” Qiu qizhi nodded.

If such a scandal were to spread, it would only be bad for them.

“Wu Yuan, go and receive your punishment.” The palace master glanced at Wu Yuan and turned to Qiu qizhi.

“Let’s continue to observe the performance of the academies.”
Di di-
However, at this moment, the hall master’s communication device rang with a very special sound.

The palace master’s expression changed instantly.

He quickly took it out and opened it without any hesitation.

An old man with white hair and a tumor on his forehead appeared.

He was wearing a loose red robe.

Seeing him, the palace master knelt down on one knee.

Qiu qizhi, on the other hand, was shocked.

He knelt down on one knee immediately, his face full of respect.

“Greetings, vice Hall master CEng.” The palace master said respectfully, but his face was full of surprise and favor.”Deputy Hall master, I’m truly afraid that you’d condescend to contact me.”
He was telling the truth.

The old man in the image was none other than the Vice Hall master of the National Dao impartment Hall.

He was a truly influential figure in the Empire, and a hall master of stellarsky city couldn’t be compared to him.
