0426: This Is A Grand Banquet.
After listening to Qiao Ji's words, most of the people in the reception hall looked at the governor of Abyss City in shock.
"No way? You're still so energetic at the age of 60? I'm really envious."
"Old man, don't wait to die among women, is it shameful?"
Everyone present had different attitudes, some were envious; some cursed; some had a guilty conscience and so on.
Qiao Ji also observes the attitudes of the people, and sometimes one can see some clues from their attitudes.
He looked away with a chuckle, turned to look at the consul in Linglong City, and praised blankly, "You have done a good job too, helping people arrange a new house [it's really kind.
The word "kindness" has an accent.
The information Qiao Ji received in Linglong City was that the consul had forcibly occupied many people's houses, especially some houses with good locations.
The excuse used was nothing more than that the owner of the house made a mistake, or a very serious mistake, and turned around and drove him to the outer city.
If there are people who are not convinced 2, the governor of Linglong City will directly send someone to beat them to death, and they dare not say anything over time.
Because most of them are businessmen, there is no way to fight against the governor of a city, so they can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
After all, whatever the nobles say is right, ordinary people have no way to confront the nobles, it's just so unfair.
"Lord Marquis, these people are going too far..." The consul of Linglong City nervously stood up and explained.
When he heard that the first three consuls were ordered by Lord Marquis, he became nervous for a moment, fearing that he would be kicked out of Linglong City.
Qiao Ji directly interrupted him, raised his hand to press down and said, "I don't blame you, sit down quickly.
"Master Marquis..." Ling Longcheng looked embarrassed, and sat down nervously while pulling the stool.
"Let's not talk about the consuls, the executives and city defense officers of the four cities are also doing very well. My territory is thanks to you." Qiao Ji had a cold smile on his face.
Not only the consuls, but also the executive officers and city defense officers did not do much better.
As the second and third managers of the city, they exhausted their authority to squeeze the city residents, making everyone's life miserable.
"Master Marquis is serious, these are what we should do." The executive officers and city defense officers of various cities panicked.
There was a lot of cold sweat on their palms, they were constantly wiping their bodies, and they sat on the stool like they were on pins and needles.
Everyone always felt that the atmosphere was weird today, but they couldn't tell what was so strange. An invisible oppression made most of them breathless.
"Come on, don't just be dumb, drink." Qiao Ji raised his glass and said heartily.
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Everyone quickly raised their wine glasses above their heads.
When they entered the living room, a maid distributed wine glasses to them and poured wheat wine.
Qiao Ji took a sip of the white wine and put down the glass, and said flatly, "It's been hard work for you all this time, now everyone can have a good rest."
That's right, this is a Hongmen banquet. Let me tell everyone clearly that I know all the bad things you have done. If you are sensible, you should obediently step aside, otherwise... let them be punished.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and looked at each other for a long time without reacting, and a small group of people began to whisper.
"Master Marquis, do you want the consuls to leave?"
"It sounds like that. What about us mayors? Are we leaving too?"
"I don't know, but what those consuls did was indeed excessive."
Shi Duo took a small step forward, and shouted loudly, "Be quiet.
Everyone gradually quieted down, and most of them looked at Qiao Ji anxiously.
"I'll give you three days to hand over the consuls, executive officers, and city defense officers of the four cities. When everything is done, go back to the imperial capital."
Qiao Ji sat upright, no smile on her handsome face, but looked coldly at the sitting area.
He has given consuls and executives a step, and those who are interested will take the initiative to take this step.
"Yes." The consuls and executive officers of the four cities responded reluctantly.
They don't want to, but what can they do?
This is Qiao Ji's territory, even if he doesn't want to, he has to leave.
Qiao Ji is the third-class marquis with real power, and their highest title is the first-class viscount of Hailan City, and the rest are first- and second-class barons.
"As for the mayors of the various towns, don't let me say some things clearly, and they will also be handed over in three days.
Qiao Ji folded his hands on his chest, and said coldly, "I'm not unreasonable. Those who think they are talented should stay at home. There will be work arrangements for you in the future."
It depends on whether some people have brains. Completely innocent people are a minority, but people with brains and temperance can use such talents.
The information contained not only the bad behaviors of the consuls and executives, but also the outrageous things done by some mayors.
Since there is going to be a big change of blood, these guys naturally can't stay in the territory.
Qiao Ji knows well that a single rat droppings can ruin a whole pot of porridge.
"Yes." The mayors of the small town also responded with great reluctance.
In an instant, tension filled the entire reception hall, and most of the mayors sighed helplessly.
Only some of them were relatively calm. After all, they walked upright and sat upright, and they didn't worry about being chased away at all.
However, Qiao Ji's appearance today has sounded the alarm to many mayors, knowing that the owner of the territory is not easy to fool.
"Okay, everyone is tired after coming so far, let's all go back and rest. Qiao Ji waved his hand to signal everyone to back down.
"Yes." Everyone replied respectfully.
"Tat Tat Tat...773..."
The consuls and mayors began to leave the living room one after another, some were happy and some were worried.
Twenty minutes later.
Everyone except Qiao Ji and the others left the living room.
"My lord, the expressions on those guys' faces are so wonderful." Lei Nai couldn't help laughing.
When Qiao Ji beat everyone, the black cat girl stood silently watching their expressions, especially the four consuls.
"Finally let them leave the territory." Lian Xin was slightly relieved.
"The really tricky things have just begun." Qiao Ji shook his head with a serious face.
Lei Nai tilted his neck, his long black hair fell down, and asked questioningly, "Master, didn't they just agree to leave?"
"The consuls have left, but their families are still in Beigang. Many things are not as simple as they appear." Qiao Xing said earnestly.
"Yes." Lian Xin's brows that had just been stretched were frowned again.
According to the information sent back from the Misty Court, the consuls of the five cities and their families are all doing business, and it is still a very important business.
The salt, grain and fabrics of Beigang are all in the hands of the families of these consuls.
This is also the main reason why Qiao Ji is worried, these businesses are monopolized by the big families.
"Ah?" Lei Nai looked at the lord and Lian Xin blankly.
