Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 211 Listen to the city lord's words and you will have meat to eat

A group of young men in black surrounded a girl in purple and appeared in front of everyone. She was wearing purple clothes, with her hair tied up with a golden crown, and she looked very noble.

A pair of bright eyes like water swept over, with a sense of majesty.

Ning Ran was the first to bow and salute, "Welcome, Lord City Lord."

Others followed suit, "Welcome, Lord City Lord."

Whether it was the women of the Ning family, the soldiers in the army, or the officials in the city, they all bowed to greet him.

The four family heads hesitated for a moment, then bowed their heads reluctantly.

All of this fell into Ning Zhiwei's eyes. She waved her hand lightly, "Everyone, get up."

She walked slowly over, past the crowd, step by step, towards the main seat, with her aura fully revealed, elegant and calm.

She sat down in the main seat, and then said calmly, "Everyone, sit down."

People who met her for the first time didn't expect her to have such a strong aura.

"I'm Ning Zhiwei. Please introduce yourselves. Let's start with the officials. Xi'an Prefecture Governor Qian, you go first."

She does not play by the rules, her strength is unquestionable, and everyone looks around in confusion.

Logically speaking, officials have the highest status, but they have to bow down in front of the aristocratic families. So, they should introduce the aristocratic families first, right?

Prefect Qian was stunned for a moment when he was named, then he stood up and saluted subconsciously, "I am Qian Zhiqian, the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture. My ancestral home is Meixian County. I was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Tianping. I came to Xi'an Prefecture three years ago to serve as the prefect."

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "Is Prime Minister Duan your master?"

Qian Zhiqian's face changed, and he was secretly shocked. She knew everything that happened thirty years ago? His teacher-student relationship with Prime Minister Duan was not publicized, and almost no one in the court knew about it.

"Yes, but I am just the most ordinary one among so many students. The teacher may not even know my name."

No wonder Qian Zhiqian is mediocre and incompetent, unwilling to get involved in anything, but he has the Qian family behind him. Ning Zhiwei smiled faintly, "Young Master Duan, Young Master Duan, Miss Duan, come out and meet Prefect Qian."

"Prefect Qian, this is Prime Minister Duan's most valued eldest granddaughter, and the highly respected Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master of the Duan Family. You should all know about this, right?"

The three people who were named all looked unhappy. Oh my god, this was a trump card left to them by their grandfather. When they encountered difficulties, they could ask for help with a handwritten letter. However, it was revealed so easily?

How did she know everything? There were no secrets in front of her?

With such a monster like this, is there any chance of us being allowed to survive?

Young Master Duan was even more shocked by the huge power behind Ning Zhiwei, but he still pretended to be a stranger, "Duan Chenggong from the Duan family, nice to meet Mr. Qian."

Mr. Qian was terrified. Ning Zhiwei was too unpredictable. Who was behind her? "You are too polite, Third Young Master."

This move was a great first move and shocked everyone.

Things went much more smoothly afterwards. Everyone stood up and introduced themselves according to the rank of their official position. Each person who stood up would receive a word or two from Ning Zhiwei, either as a comment or a warning.

She seemed to know everything about everyone and could tell the other person's resume, background and family history at the drop of a hat.

Everyone's anger was so complicated that it couldn't be described in words. Those who were affirmed were genuinely happy that she actually knew a small person like me.

The person who was hit was secretly frightened and felt a chill on his back.

The four family heads looked at each other in bewilderment. They had to admit that the head of the Ning family was quite capable and had both intelligence and means. She had firmly controlled the situation from the beginning and forced everyone to follow her pace.

The only drawback is that she is a woman.

When it was finally the turn of the noble families, the head of the Zheng family was the first to stand up. "I am Zheng Jiading, the head of the Zheng family. Nice to meet Miss Ning. I heard that Miss Ning has locked my son up in jail. Please let him out for my sake."

The whole audience fell silent. Wow, this guy is indeed from a wealthy and powerful family. He speaks in a domineering manner and everyone has to give him face.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei was even more arrogant than him, "Who do you think you are? Do you have any face in front of me?"

Just someone I met for the first time.

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

The head of the Zheng family blushed as if he had been slapped in the face. "Miss Ning, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately making things difficult for the four major families?"

Before Ning Zhiwei could say anything, Ning Ran couldn't stand it anymore and shouted coldly, "What? You four big families want to go against my 100,000 Ning Family Army?"

As if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, the Zheng family head's face changed drastically. How could Ning Zhiwei be so popular? "I dare not. I just don't understand why Miss Ning is targeting our four major families?"

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him coldly and said, "Huo Changkang, let me tell you about the bad things that the children of the four major families have done."

"Yes." Huo Changkang stood up immediately and said righteously, "In the afternoon, these young men searched the streets for brothels. When they found none in the city, they galloped through the downtown area on horseback to vent their anger. 23 passers-by were injured, 28 stalls were trampled and destroyed, and the economic loss was 1329 taels of silver."

Everyone was silent.

Without hesitation, the head of the Zheng family took out a stack of silver notes and said, "This is two thousand taels of silver. No need to give me the change. Now you can release our young man."

Huo Changkang sneered in his heart. The quality of his brothers' food this year depended on these people. If he didn't make the Zheng family suffer today, he would not be named Huo.

"The economic losses must be compensated, and there is also a fee for calming down, twenty thousand taels."

Patriarch Zheng suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "What did you say? Say it again."

How can you come up with such an outrageous reason?

Huo Changkang said confidently, "The people are frightened, so give them some money to calm them down. Our Border Town Army has worked so hard to maintain order, but we were beaten, scolded and humiliated by the children of the four major families. Shouldn't we give them some compensation?"

Master Zheng understood what was happening. This soldier just wanted to make money and even blackmailed people in public. What kind of person is he?

However, they were in the wrong in this matter. "Here is twenty thousand taels, let's settle this matter."

Anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal.

Huo Changkang was overjoyed. As expected, if he listened to the city lord, he would get meat to eat and 20,000 taels of silver easily.

He stuffed the banknotes into his arms, and just when everyone thought the matter was over, he spoke again, "Next, let's talk about the 23 injured passers-by. Three of them were seriously injured and unconscious. According to the rules of our Yumen Pass, the murderer must pay with his life, so you should burn incense and pray to the Buddha for the safety of these three people."

The four family heads: ...I have never seen such a shameless person. He took so much money but still refused to give in.

Patriarch Yu's mind raced, "Miss Ning, please tell me how to put an end to this matter."

He finally understood that the person in charge of the city was Ning Zhiwei, and she had the final say.

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, waiting for them to jump into the pit, "I don't want money."

Everyone thought that she didn't love money, but the four family heads didn't think so and were worried.

"I want……"
