Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

When you issue a command and everyone below you slacks off, who can stand that?

Duan Bo knew that Ye Ye would definitely suffer some injustice, but Duan Bo didn't say anything.

Duan Bo also wanted Ye Ye to learn a lesson and give up the idea of ​​becoming an official in the court.

Ye Ye was actually aware of his uncle's and father's thoughts.

Ye Ye has grown up.

Ye Ye is no longer stupid.

Ye Ye knew the purpose behind what his father and Uncle Duan Bo had done.

But I will not give up!

Looking at the list of clans in Crocodile City on the table, Ye Ye took a deep breath.

I must do my best!

He wanted to prove to his father and uncle that he wasn't just playing around on a whim!

Chapter 650 Makes her unable to stay any longer

Crocodile City.

In Crocodile City, all the noble families and gentry received letters from the newly appointed city lord.

That was the newly appointed city lord, who wanted to invite them and others to get together and have a chat.

They said it was just a casual meal.

But in reality, everyone knows that this newly appointed city lord wants to make a splash in his new role.

Basically, every new lord who comes to Crocodile City does this first thing: they all want to show their presence and then try to improve Crocodile City.

but?

What are the facts?

And what was the result?

Putting everything else aside, in the past hundred years alone, Crocodile City has had five different city lords...

Compared to other towns in the Demon Kingdom, this is already considered to be changing very frequently.

The powerful clans of Crocodile City are extremely entrenched in their influence.

There's a saying in Crocodile City:

"The aristocratic families remain unchanged, but the city lords come and go."

In the hearts of the people of Crocodile City, everyone knows that Crocodile City belongs to the four great families, not to the city lord.

If these four prominent families have a sense of responsibility and commitment, then there's nothing more to say.

The problem is that these four powerful families only know how to amass wealth.

They seized land, turning ordinary people into their slaves, forcing them to toil for them generation after generation.

They established a monopoly in Crocodile City and arbitrarily set prices.

They even tried to embezzle some of Crocodile City's military funds!

The four powerful families of Crocodile City are the four local bullies of Crocodile City.

If it were a large city, or a city of great strategic importance, then Crocodile City would have been eliminated long ago.

But the problem is that Crocodile City is just a small town on the border.

There are many such unremarkable small towns in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

Although Crocodile City is adjacent to Centaur Kingdom, the task of fighting against Centaur Kingdom does not fall to Crocodile City.

Near Crocodile City lies Eagle City.

That place is where the main force against the Centaur Kingdom is located.

Therefore, the four powerful families in Crocodile City are like bloodsuckers, relying on Eagle City to block them from the outside, while they themselves live extremely comfortably in Crocodile City.

Would Eagle City be willing to do this?

He was exhausted, constantly on guard against the Centaur Kingdom, while a wealthy family in a nearby town lived a comfortable and carefree life.

Of course I'd love to.

Because Crocodile City often "pays tribute" to the city lord of Eagle City with many good things.

This is the border of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons had tried many times to regulate the border, but the results were not very good.

In the past, among the city lords who came to take office in Crocodile City, there were quite a few who really wanted to get things done and wanted to thoroughly reorganize Crocodile City.

However, some city lords failed to manage their relationships with powerful clans, leading to various schemes by these clans that caused them trouble. As a result, some city lords were transferred to other posts, and some were even forced to commit suicide!

Of course, there are also many city lords who come to Crocodile City to retire.

This type of city lord is actually the one most favored by the aristocratic families and clans of Crocodile City.

Oh, there's another one.

That is, some newly appointed city lords initially wanted to achieve great things, but they had their ambitions worn down by the scoundrels of Crocodile City, and ultimately chose to give up...

In other words, it's "if you can't beat them, join them"...

Therefore, Crocodile City basically didn't take those city lords seriously.

However, this time the city lord who came was different...

"Gentlemen, the city lord has invited us to a banquet tomorrow at noon. What are your thoughts?"

At the Canglang clan's residence, the clan head invited the other three clans in the city to come over.

The chieftain of the Canglang clan is a woman named Cang Jingkong.

"What else can we say? It's just that a little girl in the royal family is too favored by His Majesty and wants to experience the thrill of officialdom."

The Frost Serpent Clan Chief smiled and spoke, flicking his tongue.

"I think so too."

The chieftain of the Lei Xiong clan stroked his beard.

"We outwardly treat a princess with respect, but inwardly we can do whatever we want."

When the princess asks you about something in the city, just give her a vague answer and brush her off.

White-leaved privet is just a greenhouse flower; it's much easier to deal with.

"Hahaha, Chief Lei, you make it sound so easy."

The chieftain of the Demon Sheep Clan said with a smile.

"What if this princess is an idealist who wants to realize her ambitions? What should we do?"

If it were someone else, we could still use the same methods as before.

That's enough to make the other party unable to stay in Crocodile City, and feel uncomfortable all over.

The problem is, this is a white cypress!

She is the only precious jewel of our Demon Kingdom, the apple of His Majesty's eye! She is the apple of the Southern Wilderness King's eye!

If she suffers any injustice, she'll go back and cry and make a scene.

Although Your Majesty cannot do certain things.

The problem is that the King of the Southern Wilderness is not one to reason.

Even if the King of the Southern Wilderness came alone and slaughtered us all, not a single person in the court would speak up for us!

"..."

The words of Sheep Chariot, the chieftain of the Demon Sheep Clan, silenced the other three.

Yangche is absolutely right.

If it were just an ordinary official, I would have a hundred ways to deal with them and make sure they wouldn't have any temper.

But this is the only princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and standing behind her are the emperor of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the King of the Southern Wilderness!

The emperor of the Demon Kingdom wouldn't do anything if his own daughter was bullied by a local clan.

Which official wouldn't be bullied when taking up a post outside the capital?

If someone were to suffer utter ruin simply by crying, it would be unacceptable in the imperial court.

Duan Bo, the King of the Southern Wilderness, is not one to reason.

I had heard of it before.

At that time, the King of the Southern Wilderness took Bai Yeye out to play, but Bai Yeye was bullied by a spoiled young lady from a local clan.

The King of the Southern Wilderness slaughtered the entire clan!

Afterwards, not only did no one impeach the King of the Southern Wilderness, but no one even dared to mention it, as if the incident had never happened.

This is the source of confidence for the strongest person in the Demon Kingdom.

So this is troublesome.

They would rather that this princess was just a whim and that she would get bored and go back home after a few days in office.

Or she can play however she wants, and I will definitely bring out the best things for her to play with and treat her well. This way, I can also flatter the King of the Southern Wilderness and His Majesty.

But they were afraid that this princess might actually want to do something that would jeopardize their interests.

However, it's not convenient for me to use certain methods to drive them away...

It hurts, it hurts so much!

"Forget it, I won't think about these things anymore."

Cang Jingkong, the female patriarch of the Canglang clan, shook her head.

"The reason I invited them here today is precisely for this purpose; I hope to reach a consensus with everyone."

"Oh? Chief Cang, please speak freely." The other three's eyes lit up, thinking that Chief Cang might really have a solution.

"We should do what we're supposed to do!"

Chief Cang scanned the crowd.

"Besides ensuring this princess isn't physically harmed, we must make her leave in disgrace! Make sure she can't stay any longer!"

How are you feeling in Chapter 651?

"hiss!!!"

Upon hearing Cang Jingkong's words, the other three clan leaders all gasped in shock.

They never expected that Cang Jingkong would be so brave!

"Clan Chief Cang, do you know what you're saying?"

"Yes, Chief Cang, if we don't show her any mercy, this princess might run back to the capital crying."

That princess is a flower in a greenhouse; her emotions must be extremely fragile.

"The King of the Southern Wilderness will definitely not let us off the hook then!"

"Yes, yes! Bai Yeye is like a daughter to Duan Bo. Some people even suspect that Duan Bo is Bai Yeye's biological father!"

The other three clan chiefs all expressed their opposition.

There's no other reason than that Duan Bo was too terrifying, and he chickened out.

I have no choice but to back down.

He was doing just fine in this border town, living the life of a local tyrant.

Although he said that he was nothing compared to some of the major clans in other cities.

But I'm quite content living here, and I don't want to be suddenly turned to ashes.
