After listening to the shadow swordsman's words, all the elders of the Mu family breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Chong's performance in the past few days has completely disappointed them. If it weren't for the face of City Lord Mu, Mu Chong would have been ignored by them.
Now, with the shadow swordsman here and promising to help the Mu Mansion choose a suitable new city lord, they were all relieved.
Lao Qi suddenly asked again: "It's just that City Lord Mu only has one heir, Mu Chong. If Mu Chong is not allowed to inherit the position of City Lord of Mu Mansion, who should succeed as City Lord of Mu Mansion?"
The shadow swordsman smiled and said, "Mu Fang!"
"Mu Fang?"
Upon hearing the shadow swordsman's words, all the elders of the Mu family's eyes widened.
An elder quickly said: "Although Mu Fang is the daughter of City Lord Mu, she is a daughter, so how can she inherit the position of City Lord?"
The shadow swordsman said: "Does anyone stipulate that the city lord of Mu Mansion can only be male? Although Mu Fang is a girl, she has outstanding abilities and has made great contributions to Mu Mansion over the years."
"In addition, Mu Fang's husband Qin Wen is also very capable. The Qin family where Qin Wen lives is also the top local force in Shan City. This time the Mu family encountered such a huge crisis, the Qin family did their best to help."
"If the position of city lord of Mu Mansion is handed over to Mu Fang, with Qin Wen's help, Mu Fang will definitely take care of Mu Mansion. What do you think?"
After hearing what the shadow swordsman said, the elders of the Mu family, who were originally a little dissatisfied with Mu Fang's succession to the throne of the city, nodded.
"I think what Shadow said is right. Mu Fang is the daughter of the city lord, and her abilities are extremely outstanding. Her own martial arts talent is also very outstanding, far surpassing Mu Chong. I agree to let Mu Fang succeed me as the city lord."
"I agree too!"
…
For a moment, all the elders of the Mu family spoke one after another, and everyone agreed that Mu Fang would succeed the city's leader.
"It's just that Mu Chong has always regarded himself as the Young City Lord. Now that City Lord Mu has disappeared, he is even more eager for the position of City Lord. The reason why he goes against Yang Chen is because he is worried that Yang Chen will steal his position as City Lord."
Lao Qi looked worried and said in a serious voice: "If we hand over the city leader position to Mu Fang, I'm afraid Mu Chong won't let it go."
The shadow swordsman narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "When the city lord was still here, he once said to me that if one day, someone in the Mu Mansion dares to disobey the decision of the Mu Mansion Elders Council, even his children,
You can also impose heavy penalties and drive the other party out of Mu's mansion."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Lao Qi said in surprise: "Shadow, do you want to drive Mu Chong out of Mu's mansion?"
The shadow swordsman shook his head: "It's not that I want to drive him out of the Mu Mansion, but it depends on his choice. We will immediately convene an elders' meeting and announce that Mu Fang will be the heir to the Mu Mansion."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Lao Qi and said: "In addition, recently, you have arranged for the top experts of the Shadow Guard to keep an eye on Mu Chong secretly. This man has evil intentions. I am worried that he will betray the Mu family.
.”
Lao Qi nodded quickly: "Okay, I will arrange this myself!"
In the Mu Mansion, the person with the most power is actually not the city lord, but the Council of Elders.
The Council of Elders is composed of several elders of the Mu Mansion. Not all of them are direct descendants of the Mu Mansion. There are even people with other surnames, such as Lao Qi and the Shadow Swordsman, because they have been in the Mu Mansion long enough, and they are all
A hero who has made great contributions to the Mu Mansion.
It is precisely because of this mechanism that Mu Mansion can develop so fast.
Moreover, the Presbyterian Church is fully qualified to appoint and remove the city lord.
Soon, the Shadow Swordsman held a meeting of the Mu Mansion Elders Council. The content of the meeting was about the selection of the new city lord of the Mu Mansion.
In the past, most of the people in the Shadow Swordsman's ward were members of the Presbyterian Council. They held meetings of the Presbyterian Council, but it was just a formality.
Soon, the meeting passed a resolution appointing Mu Fang as the new city lord of Mu Mansion.
At this time, Mu Chong was still unaware that the Council of Elders had passed a resolution to make Mu Fang the new city lord.
Inside Mu Chong's mansion.
Mu Chong was sitting on a large and comfortable sofa, with several of his lackeys standing nearby.
"Congratulations to Master Mu, you will become the new city lord of the Mu Mansion. Please ask the city lord to promote us more in the future."
Mu Liangping stood at the front with a flattering smile on his face.
They already knew that the Presbyterian Church was holding a meeting.
The corner of Mu Chong's mouth curled up and he said, "Don't worry, after I inherit the position of Lord of the City, you will be the closest people to me."
"Thank you City Lord!"
"Thank you City Lord!"
…
All the losers spoke one after another, their faces full of excitement.
At this moment, a servant came in in a panic and said hurriedly: "Master Mu, it's not good. Just now, Mu Fang was called to the conference room by the Presbyterian Council."
The smile on Mu Chong's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
The servant quickly said again: "Mu Fang has gone to the conference room. There is a rumor that the Elders Council plans to appoint Mu Fang as the new city lord of Mu Mansion."
"Bang!"
Mu Chong slammed the table hard, stood up directly, and roared with a ferocious look on his face: "What did you say? The elders want Mu Fang to become the master of Mu Mansion?"
"Why? I am the only heir to the Mu family. What qualifications do they have to let a woman inherit the title of city leader?"
The servant was almost frightened to tears, and with a "plop", he knelt on the ground, and said with a panic on his face: "Young Master Mu, I only heard this from hearsay, and I don't know what the Presbyterian Council is doing by calling Mu's house in.
"
"Master Mu, please calm down!"
Mu Liangping hurriedly stepped forward to persuade and said, "Isn't the meeting of the Presbyterian Council over yet? Maybe, Mu Fang was called in just to tell her that she will work well for you, Mr. Mu in the future."
"Yes, yes, it must be like this. Master Mu, you are the only heir of City Lord Mu. From everyone in the Mu family, you are the only one who is most qualified to become the new City Lord."
"Young Master Mu, please don't worry. The meeting of the Council of Elders should be over soon. If we wait a little longer, there will definitely be good news."
…
Several losers spoke one after another.
Mu Chong's expression was extremely gloomy, and he had a very strong feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He had always thought that Yang Chen was the one who posed the greatest threat to his position as city lord, but now it seems that this is not the case.
At this moment, another servant rushed in and said with panic: "Master Mu, something happened! Something big happened! The meeting of the Presbyterian Council has just ended, and the Presbyterian Council issued a notice. From today on, Mu Fang
