I'm the fourth calamity, but they call me a saint

The incident of the extermination of the family of the tax collector in the West District began to ferment in the public opinion of Zhulan.

This matter was extremely serious. Like the sun, Zhulan was also an underground city where private guns were prohibited.

In addition, the public security management was strict enough, the urban area was strictly distinguished from the villages and towns, and the rights of farmers were restricted, which made the urban area very safe and almost no murders occurred.

Therefore, this case of extermination stood out.

In addition, the murderer was extremely rampant and directly left his name on the wall to show off his power, which made the news spread faster and wider.

Soon, with Pang Ming's deliberate promotion, the paragraph with the names "Zhao Wei" and "Bai Li" appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, and more than half of the residents of Zhulan City knew about these two vicious murderers.

The people were filled with righteous indignation and demanded that Lanting must issue a serious order to arrest the murderer as soon as possible and protect the safety of the entire Zhulan.

The two factions that have been fighting for power and seeking the position of chairman recently have begun to use their own mouthpieces to assure the people in the city.

They will definitely urge the police department to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible and determine the candidate for the new chairman.

Just when the eyes of the whole city were attracted to this family-killing tragedy, Pang Ming, the chief of the police department, who was the center of pressure, did not desperately squeeze his police officers to search the whole city and do his best to solve the case under the heavy pressure from all parties.

Instead, he threw all the things to his deputy, and did not even strictly order him to try his best to solve the case within a short time, but hinted to him implicitly.

There is an inside story in this case, and it should be delayed as much as possible. If there is any progress, report it to him as soon as possible, and never disclose the news.

Afterwards, he met with 7 big landlords of the Lanting Grand Council Hall who were also loyal to the former chairman, and completed the meeting in a secret apartment.

"What? General Pang has already decided which new leader to join? You called us all here today to be lobbyists?"

As soon as everyone sat down, one of the big landlords asked in a sarcastic tone.

Pang Ming had a gloomy face and clenched his fists.

"I am not as good as you all here. You still have vast real estates and rich family assets. If you leave the chairman, no matter who you follow, you will not be liquidated. I only have myself, so I will never betray the chairman at any time. If the person who succeeds in the end is not the chairman's descendant, I will submit my resignation letter and leave Zhulan."

"Humph, then you still have some conscience, unlike some people who have already flirted with others and are just short of publicly announcing their support for that ungrateful person to take the position!"

The big landlord who was ridiculed was furious and stood up with a slam on the table!

"Master Qi, at least he has the last name Qi! Otherwise, who should I support? Those idiots who want to change the system to an internal election every four years! The emperor of the central government has survived so many storms and is still here. Do these people dare to go to the central government and declare that the emperor should also be elected every four years? I think you are the real ungrateful person!"

"Master Qi, shit! It's still unclear how the chairman died. It has something to do with that little bastard! And have you forgotten what ridiculous things he did before? If he inherits the position of chairman, Zhulan will be the next sun!"

"How dare you say such a thing! How dare you!"

"Why shouldn't I dare! Now the young lady is dead, and the chairman has no descendants! What else should I dare not do!"

"The young lady is not dead."

Pang Ming's light words instantly stopped the quarrel that was gradually getting out of control.

The whole room was quiet, and each of the seven big landlords stared at him, and each pair of eyes was wide open to the extreme.

"What did you say?"

"Have you seen the young lady?"

"The carriage derailed in the inter-city tunnel. Even if she walked up three steps, it would be impossible for a great scientist to survive in it! Are you sure the young lady is still alive?"

Pang Ming said calmly: "I am sure."

"Where is the evidence?"

"This is an orchid leaf. I found it in the home of the tax collector who was exterminated. It is not an ordinary orchid, but a special variety carefully cultivated by a biologist using the rules."

Pang Ming raised his head and put the leaf fragment in the center of the table. Every landlord who heard this sentence lit up his eyes, and their faces began to become excited and nervous, because everyone understood what the special variety of orchids in Zhulan meant!

That was the good news that the young lady brought back in the third year after she was sent to the college. She was favored by the biology professor in the college and accepted as a student. In less than a year, she had already mastered the rules related to biological plants and cultivated a special variety of orchid!

Bamboo and orchid are both extremely important to this city. Although the biological characteristics of orchids are prone to mutation, it is difficult to be given any rules. There has never been a successful case before.

A special plant cultivated by the descendants of the Qi family that can represent the entire city has made the identity of the young lady's heir unshakable!

The orchid has also become a symbol of the young lady. If it is still there, it means that the young lady is still there!

For a moment, the breathing of the other seven people in the room became heavy, and the landlords who had stood up to argue slowly sat back to their original seats.

The root of their conflict is that they have no backbone and no one to support them. Now that the young lady is alive, the situation is naturally different.

"But if the young lady is alive, why doesn't she show up? No one is more qualified to succeed the throne than her. As long as she is willing to show up, there will definitely be no opposition from within Lanting."

A big landlord raised a question.

Pang Ming tapped the table with his fingers, attracting the attention of the big landlords to himself again.

"The tax collector whose family was killed was a distant cousin of Qi Zicheng."

Some people showed a look of realization on their faces, and they had already thought of the key to the matter.

"The young lady was most likely assassinated on the train, and she escaped and wanted to take revenge on her own!"

"Not only that."

Pang Ming smiled as if he had guessed everything.

"I guess the young lady has probably found out the truth about the sudden death of the chairman! She deliberately let everyone think she was dead, but she actually wanted to hide in the dark and investigate and solve this matter in person!"

"Then what should we do?"

The seven landlords who were still arguing turned their eyes to Pang Ming.

"Delay! Delay it! Before the young lady finishes her work in the dark, we must not let those two gangs determine the position of the new chairman!"
