The 100% natural gas

Chapter 246: The kindness of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations!

Regarding the first two things, whether it was deciding the next city guardian or deciding the next commander, Lin Yan was not very supportive, but he was not overly angry either.

In the past, the replacement of positions of power was always done by Gao Liucheng nominating candidates and reporting to Qifengfucheng.

The top leaders of Qifeng Prefecture will then determine the candidate and appoint him.

As for the Holy Land, it is inevitable that it will interfere during special periods.

This is also a means to maintain stability among all parties!

Direct appointment by the upper level can prevent the rulers of the cities below from appointing people based on personal connections and taking the opportunity to build up power, thereby pretending to obey but actually disobeying the rules, or even establishing themselves as kings and no longer accepting discipline!
What's more, in recent days, Liu Zun has shown signs of awakening, and Jie Jin has been active frequently.

To the west of Gaoliu City, the entrance to the underworld appeared, and there was another blessed land to the north!
Now the new city needs to be expanded, and internal and external troubles need to be dealt with during the process. Even the Liu family, one of the six major families, has completely collapsed.

To be honest, the situation in Gaoliu City is extremely complicated!

What's more, the city guard and commander of Gaoliu City are now approaching old age and show signs of losing control at any time.

In addition, it is also difficult to confirm how much impact Liu Zun's signs of awakening have had on the two of them!

Therefore, it is understandable that the Holy Land and Qifeng City rejected the candidates proposed by the two and considered other options.

Although such direct appointment of the next generation of rulers would certainly make the top officials of Gaoliu City Defense Office and Tianjiansi feel dissatisfied and unhappy, at least it was in accordance with the rules for the Qifeng City Defense Office and the Fucheng Tianjiansi to issue these two appointment documents.

If it is discovered in the future that the new city defender or commander is someone like Wang Yuan or the ancestor of the Liu family, the worst that can happen is that they will be fired and replaced!
However, this third incident directly angered Lin Yan, and he really couldn't tolerate it!
"The third thing is not negotiable!"

Lin Yan had a cold expression on his face as he stared directly at the First Immortal in front of him.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was stagnant to the extreme.

Everyone in the holy land was filled with anger.

Even the commander of Gaoliu City is not qualified to veto the decision of the Holy Land!
Wuchang's real position is just a general flag bearer!
The title of Inspector was temporarily granted by Gaoliu City's Tianshi during a special period, and he had never passed through Qifeng Prefecture's City!

The Thirteenth Young Master suddenly laughed: "It is said that the number one prodigy in Qifeng Mansion has unparalleled talent and is a natural genius. He must be the next Li Shenzong!"

“But even the now grown-up Li Shenzong would not dare to be so arrogant and veto the decision of the Holy Land with a single word!”

"You may not be as capable as Li Shenzong, but your authority is a hundred times greater than Li Shenzong's!"

He stretched out his hand to grasp the sword, his face cold, and said: "Do you know what crime you should be punished for today, for committing treason and disobeying the Holy Land?"

The two elders of the holy land, four deacons, and eight disciples behind him all had cold faces and stretched out their hands to grasp the swords.

The young man named Yu Ji also made a gesture to draw his sword.

Lu Tang clenched the halberd in his hand.

Lin Lei looked around and saw nothing suitable, so he picked up a wooden chair.

Everyone in the City Guard's Mansion looked at each other and their eyes fell on the Chief City Guard.

The city guard looked normal, but he glanced at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu sighed, took half a step forward, stood in front of the chief immortal, and said nothing.

The head immortal had a face as black as charcoal and was quite angry in his heart.

But when he raised his eyes, he looked at Mr. Lu in front of him.

The two looked at each other.

There was silence for a moment.

"Not negotiable?"

The chief immortal suddenly laughed, tilted his head to look at Lin Yan, and said: "According to the twelfth rule of the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau, if there is a major mistake in the order, it can be rejected!"

"This rule originated from the Holy Land. Later, along with the law, it was implemented in major city defense offices, heavenly monitoring offices, ancient blessed lands, and large pure lands."

"This rule is to prevent those in power from making serious wrong decisions due to hidden dangers in their practice that affect their mental state, and from acting arbitrarily and being extremely paranoid!"

"So, there is the clause of 'rejecting the order'."

At this point, the First Immortal's face was icy, and he said, "But you must prove that this order is seriously wrong! Otherwise, even if Brother Lu comes forward today, he can't protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu took a half step to the side, glanced at Lin Yan, and then his eyes fell on Lin Yan's hand.

At this moment, Lin Yan's hand was on the hilt of the knife.

"cough……"

Mr. Lu coughed lightly, his eyes full of deep meaning, which roughly meant: Be reasonable!
Seeing this, Lin Yan also let go of his hand.

He considered himself not to be a bloodthirsty person, nor a person who makes trouble without reason. Since the First Immortal had no intention of taking action, it was fine for him to argue with him!
"Great City Guard, can the inner city of Gaoliu still accommodate these 38,000 people?" Lin Yan turned his head and looked at the great city guard.

"Gao Liu Inner City is a place with a high population density. The city guard shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we can't accommodate the 38,000 people from the Holy Land!"

“I heard that the Liu family, one of the six major families in the inner city of Gaoliu, has collapsed. The vacant position will naturally be replaced by someone from our holy land.” The first real person spoke calmly and said this.

"Except for the dead and injured in the Liu family, the remaining number of people implicated is large, but it does not exceed 10,000... There are another 30,000 people in the holy land, how to accommodate them?" Lin Yan asked in return.

"The City Guard Office issued an order to demote 30,000 people. The vacant positions can naturally be resettled." At this time, Elder Fu Shi, who was about to become the next city guard, spoke slowly.

"Why were these 30,000 people convicted and demoted?" Lin Yan asked again.

"The City Guard Office only needs to issue an order, how dare the people disobey?" Elder Fu Shi said slowly: "Why should we punish them?"

"Great City Guard, what do you think?" Lin Yan looked at everyone in the City Guard's Mansion again.

"This action may seem appropriate, but it is actually using public power for personal gain and is illegal!" The city guard shook his head slightly: "If I demote 30,000 people from the city without reason, I am afraid that the knife of the Inspector Wuchang will fall on my neck!"

"..." Elder Fu Shi was silent for a moment, then said, "If the Inspector of Impermanence is from the inner city and is afraid of implicating his family, he can give you a list to avoid accidentally hurting his family members."

"Oh?" Lin Yan sneered and said, "When did we become family?"

"If there is still dissatisfaction, you can transfer the 30,000 people in the inner city to the outer city." Elder Fu Shi said, "Just give Inspector Wuchang some face!"

"Where are the people from the outer city?" Lin Yan asked again.

"Drive them out and give them the opportunity to build a new city, wouldn't that be fine?" said the Thirteenth Young Master with a smile.

"Most of the people in the outer city came to Gaoliu City from their ancestors. Although they did not contribute to the construction of the city, they have devoted their blood and sweat to Gaoliu City over the generations."

Lin Yan pointed outside and said in a cold voice: "Most of the current city defense troops are from the outer city. Their wives, children and elders are all in the city! Do you think we should drive them all out of the outer city?"

"In the inner city, every household, since their ancestors, has contributed to the building of the city!"

"And the people in the outer city, from our ancestors to the present generation, have all had the merit of defending the city!"

"Their ancestors fought with blood and sweat, risked their lives, and blessed their descendants, so that they can have the honor of living in the city!"

"This time, the upper echelons of the Liu family committed a serious mistake, which implicated the clan members, and they were banished from the city!" "If the other 30,000 people committed a crime, they would be executed if guilty, and demoted if guilty! But today, I dare to ask where they went wrong, to have their ancestral foundation taken away and their foundation for survival taken away?"

His voice was deep and his tone was cold, which was deafening!

When his eyes swept over, there seemed to be a light, and he was proud and fearless!

Even with the Holy Land's leader in person, he showed no intention of backing down!
"What a selfless person you are." At this moment, the Thirteenth Young Master couldn't help but laugh, with a slightly strange look in his eyes.

"Shut up! Did I ask you to speak?"

Lin Yan was furious and shouted, "If you dare to open your mouth again, I will cut off your tongue!"

The Thirteenth Young Master was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak, but when their eyes met, he saw the murderous intent in the other person's eyes. His heart was slightly shaken, and he fell silent for a while.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly tense, and for a moment, no one spoke.

"First Immortal, may I ask, of the 38,000 people who have come from the Holy Land, did their ancestors all die defending Gaoliu City?"

"Of course not." The First Immortal said lightly.

"When Gaoliu City was first built, and even when the outer city was later expanded, did the 38,000 people in the Holy Land and their ancestors contribute?" Lin Yan asked again.

"Of course not." The first immortal replied.

"Then among these 38,000 people, from their ancestors to the present, how many of them have made contributions to Gaoliu City?" Lin Yan asked again.

"They have never had any intersection with Gaoliu City." said the First Immortal.

"Then what merits and qualifications do they have to live in the inner city right after arriving here?"

Lin Yan said in a deep voice: "The people of the inner and outer cities have made contributions to Gaoliu City since our ancestors! May I ask the First Immortal, we have also made contributions to Gaoliu City today. In the future, should our descendants, who abide by the law, also be driven out of the city under the order of the Holy Land?"

He looked at the First Immortal and said in a deep voice: "Besides, there is no law to follow in this matter!"

“Then have you ever thought that the reason these 38,000 people can live in the holy land is that their ancestors made contributions to the human race?” said the First Immortal.

"Then it should be arranged by the holy land!" Lin Yan said in a deep voice.

"The Holy Land wants to place them in Gaoliu City!" The First Immortal said in a deep voice: "The Holy Land has too many people and cannot accommodate them. This is also a helpless move!"

"But their ancestors made contributions to the Holy Land, but they did not make any contributions to Gaoliu City."

Lin Yan spoke in a normal tone, and slowly said: "Considering the contributions of their ancestors, I can allow them to participate in the expansion of the new city! If they make contributions to the new city, they can live in the new city in the future!"

He looked at the First Immortal in front of him and said slowly: "Those refugees who are struggling in the clean land outside the city and begging to participate in the expansion of the new city must go through the various departments of Gaoliu City and be strictly selected! People from the Holy Land can directly participate in the expansion of the new city. I have made an exception and given them preferential treatment for the sake of their ancestors!"

"Asshole! How can someone from the Holy Land be compared with refugees?"

The chief immortal couldn't help but be furious.

The people from other holy places, without exception, were all very angry and had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

However, at this moment, Lin Yan calmly said, "My ancestors were also refugees!"

"It's the same below."

At this moment, Lin Lei said with a smile: "If I hadn't become a disciple of Lord Lu, my family would have been driven out of the city!"

Lord Lu stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "A strange night has come, demons and evil spirits are everywhere, and the human race is struggling to survive. Whose ancestors were not refugees?"

"Mr. Lu is absolutely right!"

At this time, the city guard chuckled and said, "My great-grandfather was also a refugee. It was not until my grandfather's generation that his two brothers participated in the construction of the city. However, two of his uncles died, so they were qualified to live in the inner city. It was passed down from my father to me!"

"Master, you allowed these 38,000 people to enter the inner city just to let them have fun in a different place."

Lord Lu spoke again, and said slowly: "But since these 38,000 people can be expelled from the Holy Land, they are just the lower-class people in the Holy Land!"

“It is said that the blessings of ancestors will be exhausted after three to five generations, but their ancestors have passed down the legacy for who knows how many generations, and now the direct lineage is still in the holy land, occupying a high position, so it can still be considered a great blessing!”

"There are only a large number of side branches derived from these branches. They are not the nobles in the Holy Land, so the Holy Land cannot accommodate them. But they want to come to Gaoliu City and act arrogantly as nobles?"

"After a few years, these people will enjoy great wealth and their descendants will multiply and become numerous... They will definitely want to occupy the inner city for their descendants. Wouldn't that mean they will drive us, their descendants, out as well?"

"The First Immortal, the blessings of their ancestors were passed down to the present day, and they were expelled from the Holy Land."

"To be precise, the direct descendants of this generation still have the blessings of their ancestors, but by the time it comes to the side branches of this generation, the blessings have been exhausted. It is time for them to fight for themselves and seek blessings for future generations."

“Participating in the expansion of the new city is the only way!”

Mr. Lu said this and looked at the other party quietly.

Everyone in the Holy Land fell silent.

Even the chief immortal remained silent.

In their hearts, even the lower-class people who came out of the holy land would be considered superior people if they were placed in Gaoliu City!

After leaving the holy land, one should live in the most prosperous and wealthy place in the city, and more importantly, in the safest place!
“So, you are determined to refute the order of the Holy Land?” The First Immortal had a cold expression on his face.

"This order contains serious errors and should be returned!" Lin Yan said in a deep voice.

"It's just that you are dissatisfied, but where is your fault?" The First Immortal said in a deep voice: "How can a matter that can be suppressed with a single decree become so troublesome? Where are all the big principles?"

"So, you are going to be unreasonable?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows, murderous intent stirring in his heart.

"First Immortal, if this order is implemented, it will be unfair to the world." The Great City Guard sighed and said, "I am afraid it will cause a change in people's hearts!"

"Everyone in the world is like an ant. So what's the harm in changing people's hearts? They can be suppressed with a flip of the hand!" The first immortal said proudly, his eyes sharp as he swept around.

"Are we also ants?"

Lord Lu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The change in people's hearts is not only in the lower-class people, but also in people like us who have 'justice' in our hearts!"

"If I hadn't been a disciple of Lord Lu, I would have been an ant that was expelled, so I'm not convinced!"

Lin Lei could not help but feel angry. Even in front of the Holy Land's First Immortal, he could not help but say in a deep voice: "In Gaoliu City, innocent people were convicted for no reason. How can we convince the public?"

"The Holy Land regards the lower-class human race as ants. Even if there are disobedience, they will be suppressed with a flip of the hand!"

Lin Yan slowly drew out his knife and said, "We are also dissatisfied, why don't you suppress us?"

As Zhao Ye's sword was unsheathed, the atmosphere in the courtyard became extremely cold and chilling.

Lu Tang looked solemn, gripped the halberd and said nothing.

But the city guard raised his hand slightly.

Then he saw that everyone in the City Defense Office, including the city captain, had placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
