Chapter 443 - Gathered People
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Lady Mingyue was moved.
"It's just that, so many things have happened in Unparalleled City recently, and we still need to get married. Lady Mingyue said worriedly.
Don't let others think that Ling Xiao was also an overlord of power. This way, there would definitely be new contenders that would appear.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I will make the arrangements. Just you wait and see."
After chatting a bit with Lady Mingyue, Ling Xiao left.
Although a great battle had occurred in the Unparalleled City, as long as this city was still present, there would naturally be endless matters to be dealt with. Now, as the master of the Unparalleled City, Ling Xiao had to bear these responsibilities.
Arriving at the City Leader's room, Ling Xiao did not have to sit for very long before people continuously came over to report what had happened.
These people were the people who were in the great hall back then and were extremely respectful to Ling Xiao, so no one had any ill intentions towards him.
However, Ling Xiao noticed that the news that one of them was reporting was exactly what he was worried about.
After the death of Dugu clan, the management of the entire Unparalleled City had left a lot. Thus, the efficiency of the people below them had greatly decreased, and many of them were unwilling to listen to orders, either lazy or resisting.
It was as if the emperor of a country had suddenly turned into a different person. As a lowly person, he was unable to accept this.
This matter caused Ling Xiao to sink into deep thought.
Many people could not accept that Unparalleled City had suddenly changed masters. Furthermore, they did not understand Ling Xiao's personality, so they did not know whether to support him or resist him.
After all, they were of the lower classes, and they didn't have much of a choice.
But Ling Xiao was not willing to do it like this. Only by convincing these people, would he be able to effectively manage and give orders.
Then, Duan Lang returned.
"There's a result?" Ling Xiao saw Duan Lang and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Duan Lang nodded, and said: "Yes, we captured a large portion of the people."
"What do you mean? What I want is everyone." Ling Xiao said unhappily.
Duan Lang scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Because there are a few people who want to resist, and even stole our weapons to kill people, we sent people to stop them, we accidentally killed them."
"If I die, I want to see the corpse." Ling Xiao said.
Duan Lang immediately accepted the order, "Yes! I'll bring some people back to bring those dead people back. "
"Hurry up, don't delay my plan." Ling Xiao said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Lord City Leader!"
After Duan Lang left, Ling Xiao also stood up and walked out of the room to look for the traitors that were locked up.
Arriving at the Unparalleled City's prison, Ling Xiao saw a large prison cell, inside it were over ten people.
When the guard saw Ling Xiao, he immediately went forward and bowed and said: "Master City Leader."
"There are a few of them."
"Thirteen."
"Mmm, keep them alive for now. Don't let them die again." Ling Xiao reminded.
"Yes sir!"
After that, Ling Xiao walked to the door of the cell, looked at the people inside, and asked: "Why are you guys running after the Dugu side died?"
"If we want to leave, then let's go. What right do you have to bring us back?"
"Bah!"
"That's right, why are you capturing us!?"
The crowd immediately went into an uproar as they questioned why Ling Xiao wanted to capture them.
Seeing that, the guard at the side took out his staff and was about to hit them, but was stopped by Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry either. Waiting until all of them were tired from shouting and no one was talking anymore, he opened his mouth and said: "Because all of you have done something wrong. If you did not have a guilty conscience, you would not have escaped immediately, right?"
"Don't spout nonsense, we just don't want to stay here anymore, and you killed City Leader, your sin is extremely evil!" one of them shouted.
The others also agreed.
"Hehe, I have all the evidence. Since you all aren't willing to admit it, then leave it to the victims. When the time comes, we will naturally have the witnesses step in." Ling Xiao sneered: "I had originally wanted to come over to see your attitude, but now it seems that there is no need to be merciful."
With that, Ling Xiao turned and left, but Ling Xiao's words caused everyone to panic.
Because Ling Xiao was right.
Because of Ling Xiao's words, Duan Lang immediately galloped back to the place where they were buried quickly. He even dug out all the corpses that night and brought them back to Unparalleled City from the coffins.
Early in the morning on the second day, Duan Lang found Ling Xiao with two dark circles around his eyes, "Lord City Leader, bring the corpses back."
Ling Xiao raised his head, looked at Duan Lang, and said: "It's been hard on you, go and rest first. In the afternoon, gather all the guards of the Unparalleled City and come to the plaza."
"All the guards?" Duan Lang was startled.
"Yes, other than those who have seen me and know that I am the management level of City Leader, everyone else who do not have the chance to contact me, gather." Ling Xiao said.
"Don't we need to guard the different areas?" Duan Lang raised a question.
Ling Xiao leaned on the back of the chair and said: "Of course I have made arrangements, when the time comes someone will take over, just do as I said."
"Yes!" "Understood." Hearing that, Duan Lang immediately responded.
After that, Ling Xiao went to Miss Mingyue's residence. After finding out that Miss Mingyue had recovered, he asked Miss Mingyue to go with him to the plaza.
Everyone was puzzled by Ling Xiao's summons, because he did not specify the specific reason either.
However, no one dared to object and could only obey.
Very quickly, the originally empty plaza became crowded as the crowd poured in.
From a high vantage point, it was a black mass.
Unparalleled City was after all the second strongest existence, so her military strength was naturally not small.
After everyone had arrived, Ling Xiao stepped onto the stage, looked at the people below the stage, activated his Spirit Qi and said: "Everyone, maybe we have never met before, and it is also the first time you have heard my name, and the person who has seen me. That's right, I am your new City Leader, Ling Xiao."
"I know that everyone does not understand me well enough, so I do not trust them, but that does not matter. We only have time to understand. Today, we have asked everyone to come here for no other reason but to seek justice for you all."
When he said that, the audience immediately started whispering to each other, because this time Ling Xiao did not gather them in the name of a battle, but in the name of a meeting, which was something they had never experienced before.
Now that they heard Ling Xiao's words again, everyone's hearts were filled with suspicion and they were all looking forward to what kind of fairness Ling Xiao spoke of.
"Duan Lang, bring him here." Ling Xiao said as he turned his head towards Duan Lang.
"Yes, Lord City Leader!" Duan Lang replied, and waved to the group, indicating that they can move now.
