C289 An inexplicable sense of familiarity

"Because I like her. I feel like I've met her at first sight. Maybe we were once relatives."

Tong Ling giggled. She had originally thought that he was probably jealous of Su Su Se-jie, so her words contained a bit of a joke.

But after she finished speaking, even she was stunned.

Speaking of which, she really felt a sense of familiarity towards Sister Susu, as if her liking for Susu wasn't without reason.

However, the little fox didn't have any memories about Susu, so she couldn't tell where this sense of familiarity came from.

It's so strange.

The more Tong Ling felt it was strange, the more she wanted to figure it out. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps, she really did know Susu because Sister Susu did not turn into a human at that time?

She suddenly put down her chopsticks and frowned, "Husband, what exactly is Sister Susu's battle beast? Is it a fox? "

Ye Beiming looked up at her and said, "When your husband saved her, she had already taken human form."

The meaning in his words was that he had never seen Susu's battle beast form before.

Hearing that, Tong Ling sighed heavily. Why does it feel like Sister Su Su's identity is so mysterious?

Forget it, let's just eat.

Tong Ling and Ye Beiming ate a simple breakfast together, and then left Inn, rushing straight for Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

In fact, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was the same as the ancient yamen. When she and her husband had arrived, there were already many people gathered at the entrance of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Other than the few people wearing the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights's official robes, there were also 20 or so serious looking middle-aged men.

When they saw her and her husband, all of them clasped their hands and said in a respectful tone, "Greetings, Crown Prince. Greetings, City Lord."

Tong Ling was really satisfied with the way they addressed her. They did not need to call her The Crown Prince to explain that it was not because of her husband's identity as the crown prince, but because she was the city lord.

As a person, everyone has their own vanity.

Her husband acknowledged her with a faint "hmm" before walking inside with her hand in hand.

The lobby of Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was similar to the yamen's. There was a black chair with golden armrest facing the door and two rows of black walnut chairs on both sides of the lobby.

Her husband arrogantly lifted his clothes and sat on the golden chair with the armrest. He said, "Sit."

Tong Ling is currently the Acting City Lord. Originally, many things have to be done personally, but in reality, the person who does it is her husband.

For example, the matter of officials being appointed or removed.

When the Azure Cloud Empire's troops were withdrawn, all the officials were also summoned back to the Azure Cloud Empire. New officials must be appointed and removed, so as to ensure the proper operation of Susu City.

Although she was the City Lord's representative, she did not know much about the matters regarding the position of an official.

She only knew that there were those in charge of the household registration and those in charge of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. As for what other official positions there were, she was completely confused.

Furthermore, this matter was not within her jurisdiction. It could only be done if the Emperor sent a personal minister or official to appoint them.

Of course, the Crown Prince was here, and there was no need for him to send an errand boy.

Ye Beiming sat up straight. His black eyes scanned the people sitting in the hall as he said in a deep voice, "I will announce the appointment and removal of my official position."

Before entering, Tong Ling was still secretly observing these people, because she was not sure if they were people from Susu City or from Zephyr Empire. After all, they were unfamiliar faces.

Until she heard her husband's words, "Lu Tianhua is the Director of Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Susu City."

The one who walked forward was a man in his thirties. He wore a black official's robe, and a silver identity token with the word 'Law' carved in the middle hung from his green belt.

This person was someone she remembered from when she was in Black Turtle Hall. Luo Zhengbo had brought a few Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights people with him, and one of them was this Lu Tianhua.

Because this person was good-looking and had a clean temperament, she remembered him very clearly.

If Lu Tianhua could appear here, then the others must be people sent by the Wind Chaser Emperor.

Thinking about it, if one wanted to manage Susu City, they would have to use the people from the Zephyr Empire, otherwise, wouldn't it be helping others?

Right now, her husband was not done with his business yet, so it was unlikely that he would finish his appointment in a short period of time. Besides, he had to give them a speech after his appointment, didn't he?

She didn't care much about politics, so she said "I'm going to the dungeon" quietly with her lips and slipped away.

Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights's Prison was very close to the Main Hall. Furthermore, after leaving the Main Hall, she was able to lead the way like the wind, so she quickly found the Underground Prison.

Tong Ling went to the dungeon to find those Prefecture Soldiers s. It was a surprise check to see what they were doing.

At the same time, there was something he needed them to do.

However, when she went to the dungeon, she found that every single Prefecture Soldiers was sitting against the wall with their heads lowered. It was unknown what they were thinking about.

When they saw her, it was as if they had seen a wolf and saw food. They all got up in unison and shouted excitedly, "City Lord!"

Tong Ling was startled by their 'enthusiasm' and quickly retreated a bit. She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Hehe, good morning everyone. Did you sleep well last night?"

What he said was nonsense, how could he sleep well in the dungeon?

She was just trying to get close to them.

However, they never expected that everyone would nod their heads in unison, and Huang Jinren became even more serious as he said, "It's been over a year, this is the first time I've had a good night's sleep. You don't have to worry about the consequences of your actions and the possibility that your wife and daughter might be killed. "

The others had the same reactions as him. This caused Tong Ling to be moved once again. She was right that she didn't kill them.

She laughed again. "I'm here today to give everyone a mission."

When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted out, "City lord, please give your instructions."

"That's right, Mayor. We've been reflecting on ourselves. We've done all sorts of bad things, and now we can live again. We must do something for the citizens."

"As long as we can get rid of our sins as soon as possible, we can do anything."

Tong Ling was extremely surprised. She did not expect them to have such a realization.

She laughed and said, "Since that is the case, this City Lord will give you an important mission.

"Didn't the City Lord's Mansion already become an empty space, so I need to build a new City Lord's Mansion? I need to have a place to stay."

She had wanted to build a beautiful villa, preferably one with an open-air swimming pool on the roof, but then she realized that was too ostentatious and decided against it.

Just as she finished speaking, Huang Jinren patted her chest, "City Lord, don't worry, leave this matter to me.

Previously, the City Lord's Mansion was a small design that was completed with people. I guarantee that I can give the City Lord a brand-new City Lord's Mansion before nightfall today. "

Tong Ling thought she had misheard. She widened her eyes and asked loudly, "Wh-when?"

Huang Jinren was probably shocked by her expression and carefully replied: "Can … "I can only finish it by nightfall at the fastest time, no matter how fast I'm done …"

Tong Ling grabbed onto Huang Jinren's collar through the Soul-Suppressing Iron's railings and said excitedly, "Alright! Tonight! "Do your job well, hahaha …"
