This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world
Chapter 276: Combine vertically and horizontally
"I have something to say, and I hope you will listen carefully."
An Ling spoke and the whole place fell silent.
Most of the people at the scene had participated in the New Moon sacrificial ceremony four days ago and had witnessed how desperately those young monks fought. Although many people still had hope and blindly believed in the New Moon Immortal, praying that he would one day help them to get a favor, after all, the strength was there and they did not dare to have any other ideas when the monks were present.
And this is also the most important part for ordinary people to survive in the world.
An Ling said in a gentle voice: "I believe that everyone hopes that Liyang City can become better. To this end, both adults have proposed their own plans. I also admire everyone who dares to face the problem."
"You're too kind." "I don't deserve it." The two of them said anxiously at the same time. Seeing that the other was also trying to flatter An Ling, they glared at each other.
"As an official of a city, Lord Xu should be responsible for the people of the entire Liyang City. I think that cooperating with the Crescent Moon Sect may not be Lord Xu's original wish, but it was just the best choice at the time." An Ling said.
Xu Fengzhu straightened his back even more. He glanced proudly at Mei Kuhan, who had an evasive look, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Mei is not a cold-blooded person. First, he did not force Lord Xu to death. Second, everything he did was for the people of Liyang City. He can be said to be a loyal and righteous person." An Ling looked at Mei Kuhan and said.
Mei Kuhan raised his eyebrows without any other expression. Instead, Xu Fengzhu's face looked a little gloomy.
Countless thoughts flashed through their minds. What exactly did this Immortal An want to do? Was she trying to be a peacemaker? Or was she trying to play both sides?
Even Wu Baiquan was muttering in his heart that sometimes he really couldn't understand what An Ling was thinking.
Everyone's eyes were on An Ling, waiting for her to speak.
An Ling was not at all nervous. Instead, she smiled and said, "Since both of you are good officials who are dedicated to serving the people, why do you have to fight to the death?"
Sure enough, he is here to act as a peacemaker!
Seeing that someone was backing him up, Xu Fengzhu snorted contemptuously and said to Mei Kuhan, who was standing opposite him, with a smile: "Yes, Mei Tongpan, although you are inferior to me, you are still an official of Daxuan after all. Why do you have to make such an ugly scene? How about this, for the sake of An Xianchang, I will not pursue the responsibility of those who participated in the incident. As long as you, Mei Kuhan, leave Liyang City, then this matter can be put to rest."
Mei Kuhan's fingers were gently twisting in his sleeves. He saw that his subordinates were already slightly shaken and were constantly thinking about how to break the impasse.
If An Xianchang wholeheartedly supported Xu Fengzhu, he would not understand what he did.
She actually left a way out for herself!
In a flash, the balance of the situation seemed to be greatly shaken. Mei Kuhan, who was standing on the upturned side, was not in a hurry. He shook his clothes, bowed to An Ling, and said calmly: "Master An, Mei Ai knows that you are a chivalrous man. On behalf of everyone in Liyang City, I would like to thank Master An for saving my life."
Very good, first of all, thank you An Ling for your efforts.
Mei Kuhan glanced at Xu Fengzhu, who seemed to be a little regretful, and continued, "I didn't mean to force Lord Xu, but the situation was urgent. Lord Xu had previously handed over the lifeblood of Liyang City to Xinyue Pavilion. I couldn't guarantee whether Lord Xu would continue to collude with Xinyue Pavilion and harm lives, so I acted in anger. The brothers who followed me were also inspired by the righteousness, so they risked their lives to fight for a bright future for Liyang City."
The second sentence was to slander Xu Fengzhu and remind An Ling again that Lord Xu had sold Liyang City to the Crescent Moon Cult before. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. Who knows if he would become a traitor again?
The third sentence is to give myself and my subordinates a high-sounding reason to whitewash myself. Look! I did this for everyone. I am righteous!
After these three sentences, the whole audience fell silent!
Xu Fengzhu's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that everyone was wavering again, he secretly cursed them for being a bunch of fence-sitters!
He was about to say something to regain some favor with An Ling, but An Ling had already spoken. She smiled slightly, as if everything was under control. She said with a smile: "I see, then it seems that both of you are good officials who are dedicated to serving the people, and you were forced to do this and that."
There was something sarcastic about An Ling's words, which made the two of them feel uncomfortable.
An Ling continued, "In that case, An Ling also has a suggestion that can help the two of you put aside your hostility and jointly protect Liyang City."
"I came here this time for this matter."
"I hope to establish an organization in Liyang City that is jointly managed by monks and mortals. The main purpose of this organization is to fight against the Futian Army. The current situation in Liyang City is critical. Not to mention when the Futian Army will attack, let's take the recent harvest as an example. Due to the withdrawal of the monk Bu Tiansi, Yuantai Town, 30 miles away from Liyang City, has not rained for many days. If the monks don't call the wind and rain to irrigate the farmland, then this batch of harvest will wither completely!"
Mei and Zhu looked at each other and saw each other's astonishment.
So the Crescent Moon Sect left, and here comes An Ling! Then what is the difference between you and the Crescent Moon Sect? You have both crossed the Great Xuan system and actually controlled the local politics and economy!
Neither of them spoke, but lowered their heads, thinking about something.
Seeing this, An Ling was ready to give them a reassurance. She continued, "You two adults, rest assured that I will not step into other's shoes and abandon the original management system to cause damage. Therefore, I came here in the hope of cooperating with you two adults."
Two? There can only be one leader in Liyang City! How can I cooperate with two people?
Xu Fengzhu felt that his official hat was not stable. He was anxious and prepared to take down An Ling first. He quickly extended an olive branch and said, "Master An, everyone has seen what you have done. If you want to protect us, of course we welcome you! But Judge Mei has ulterior motives and may cause great trouble! You must keep your eyes open!"
When Mei Kuhan heard what Xu Fengzhu said, he cursed the old thief in his heart, saying that he was shameful. He actually agreed to An Ling's request just to bring him down! Wasn't he selling Liyang City to someone else again?
Mei Kuhan knew that Xu Fengzhu had come to this point, and anything he said would be in vain. Under tremendous pressure, he was no longer anxious. The books of sages that he had studied hard in the past supported his spine at this critical moment.
Mei Kuhan took a step forward and said without the slightest fear: "Master An, I don't mean to disobey you. I just want to confirm the situation of this organization because I need to be responsible for the entire Liyang City."
"I will not and cannot possibly put another Crescent Moon Sect into Liyang City," Mei Kuhan said stubbornly. An Ling actually saw in him the character of a scholar like the students of Shanhai Academy. "If you still want to force yourself, then Mei Ai is just a scholar. You can use my head to lay the foundation for your great cause!"
An Ling couldn't help but admire in her heart, this Mei Tongpan is really a man! Much better than the flattering Xu Zhizhou on the other side!
But she knew the importance of checks and balances, so she didn't show her likes or dislikes at all. She just nodded to the two of them and said, "I understand your thoughts. Let's go in and have a cup of tea first, and then discuss it slowly."
"Master An, what is the name of your organization?"
"I believe that rice fields are the foundation of people's livelihood, and they are also the great path of monasticism, so I named it Rice Field Alliance." An Ling said.
