Chapter 65 I'm Sad
The city lord knew that Shen Lang was not holding his fart well!
It really is a dirty trick!
But, in his opinion, this dirty trick is also a good strategy!
First, he pretended to be terminally ill, and then summoned the other three people, saying that he was about to die, and the position of city lord could only be given to them three people. He hoped that they three people would not let him down. In this way, the rest would be left to Shen Lang.
The city lord asked Shen Lang how to do it, but Shen Lang did not tell him. He only said that he would definitely find out who the person who poisoned was within two days and who was the lurking enemy of the Sakura Empire.
The city lord didn't know why Shen Lang was so confident. Since he didn't want to say it, he didn't ask any more questions. After a few people confirmed the plan, they began to implement it.
The city lord's face returned to its previous pale appearance, and he was breathing weakly and his eyes were dull, as if he was about to die. Shen Lang gave him a thumbs up when he saw this. If this happened in the original world, he would definitely be an Oscar winner!
I thought Qingsi had already learned that her uncle was fine, and it would be very difficult for her to cry or get angry again. But Shen Lang underestimated Qingsi's acting skills again. She cried even more sadly and loudly, her tears flowing like they were free. The sound was so loud that half of the people in the City Lord's Mansion could hear it.
Then she angrily gathered all the people in the mansion and scolded them severely, especially the butler, who was beaten with a stick by Qingsi. She also asked him to find out the person who poisoned the house within two days, otherwise she would turn against him.
Chang Rumo and Mingyue stood aside, looking indignant as if they were also victims. They also used their strength to help Qingsi. Chen Buyong was not willing to be left behind, so he went home to explain and offered his help. This made his father nervous, wondering when his son had finally come to his senses.
Dean Shangguan Yu went to Tiange Tower in person to investigate the matter of the food and drinks, and used both soft and hard tactics to make the owner and the waiter stamp their feet and beat their chests, swearing that they had nothing to do with it and that they were wronged.
Shen Lang was the only one watching everyone's hard work , sighing that everyone in this world is an Oscar winner and has excellent acting skills.
If he was not one of the insiders, he would definitely be deceived and think that the city lord was about to die.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Lang first went home to visit his father Shen Feng and mother Liang Wanrong, and told them what had happened in the past few days. They were also shocked.
I didn't expect that a city lord election would bring up so many issues, and many people said that our Shen family also wants to contribute.
After all, the city lord is very caring towards their Shen family. What's more, there is the relationship between Shen Lang and Qingsi, so they should contribute money and manpower to fully support the city lord Qingyun.
As night fell, Shen Lang returned to the City Lord's Mansion and said that he could proceed with the next plan. He began to summon three other candidates and left the rest of the work to him.
As planned, the city lord sent his butler out to invite the other three candidates. Soon the three followed the butler and came, each with an expression of concern and grief on their face.
The three of them gathered in the city lord's room. In addition to the three of them, there were Shen Lang and Qingsi, as well as the city lord who was lying on the bed dying.
"All three of you are here!" The city lord's voice was very weak, as if he would die if he said one more word. He waved his hands weakly and let Qingsi help him sit up and lean against the head of the bed.
"City Lord, there's no need to do this, just lie down!" Miao Yunfei, the richest man in Baiyun City, spoke quickly and concernedly.
"That's right, we are old acquaintances, there is no need to be like this!" Baiyun City Elder Sun Ke spoke.
"Yes, have a good rest. The election will be held in two days. We hope you can continue to lead us!" Xiao Daoyun looked at the city lord and said, "You must take good care of yourself. If you have anything to say, just lie down and talk. We can hear you!"
The city lord forced a bitter smile on his pale face and said weakly: "I know my body won't last until then!"
“Ahem!”
"Uncle, have some water!" With tears in her eyes, she quickly picked up the teacup.
The city lord took a deep breath, slowed down and spoke: "I have been in charge of Baiyun City for so many years, and I have lived up to the expectations of the empire and the people. I have achieved some results!"
"You have been in charge for so many years, the weather has been good, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. No one has done better than you!" Xiao Daoyun said, "We also hope that you will continue to lead us and make Baiyun City develop better!"
"That's right!" Sun Ke nodded: "If I find out that it was that grandson who poisoned him, I will definitely punish him severely and cut him into pieces!" As he said that, he slammed the table angrily.
"That's right, he has such a vicious heart!" Miao Yunfei looked at the city lord and said, "If it's someone else, it's fine, but if one of us has a grandson like this, even if I'm not the city lord, he can't be the city lord!"
After hearing this, the city lord smiled bitterly and said, "I believe in you three, and the people also believe in you three, otherwise you would not be candidates for the city lord!"
"Now I can't the city lord election in two days. No matter who among you three is elected, don't let down the expectations of the empire and the people!" said the city lord weakly.
"I was just pushed out. I hope the city lord can continue to be the lord of Baiyun City!"
Sun Ke sighed and spoke. He and the city lord had known each other for many years and had worked together for so many years, so they had a deep relationship.
"Yes, you can let me make money, but I can't manage Baiyun City!"
Miao Yunfei's face also looked unhappy. After all, without the help of the Lord of Baiyun City, he might not be sure who would be the richest man in Baiyun City.
"If they two can't do it, then I can't do it even more. It's easy to do small good deeds like helping others, but I really can't do such a big good as managing Baiyun City!" Xiao Daoyun smiled bitterly.
The city lord waved his hand and said, "Don't be so modest. This is what I am informing you of tonight. Just be prepared."
After saying that, the city lord started coughing again and his face became even paler. Finally, Qingsi helped the city lord lie down on the bed.
"Uncle can't receive you three anymore!" Qingsi wiped her eyes with a slight cry in her voice.
"We'll take our leave now. You should have a good rest!" The three of them stood up and bowed.
"Shen Lang, see these three adults off!" The city lord glanced at Shen Lang and said weakly.
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Shen Lang nodded and made a gesture of invitation: "See you three adults off!"
"Trouble!" the three people replied and followed Shen Lang out of the room.
Shen Lang escorted the three of them to the door, then bowed and said, "I'm sorry I can't see you off any further!"
"It's okay, it's okay, no need to be so polite!" Although the three men were more than ten years older than Shen Lang and had higher status than Shen Lang, they did not look condescending.
"Wow!" At this time, Shen Lang covered his face and cried, making the three of them look at each other.
"Nephew, what are you doing?" Miao Yunfei asked.
"The city lord is on good terms with my family. Now seeing him in this state, I feel very uncomfortable!" Shen Lang said with a bitter face.
"I'm sad!"
“Woo woo woo!”
The three people looked at each other and thought that the crying of the boy in front of them was so fake. No tears were seen for a long time, and he was just howling!
But it’s not easy to point it out.
"It will be fine, don't worry, nephew!" Sun Ke stepped forward and patted Shen Lang on the shoulder.
"Thank you, uncle!" Shen Lang nodded, stretched out his hand and hugged Sun Ke, which made Sun Ke stunned, but he also patted Shen Lang on the back, telling him not to be so sad.
Afterwards, Shen Lang hugged the other two people while wailing. Although this made the other two frown, they didn't take it to heart. They comforted Shen Lang one after another, and then left in their carriages.
Watching their carriages go away, Shen Lang stood at the door and sighed.
"Sure enough, I'm not good at acting!"
