Chapter 303
This so-called election is actually quite informal.

Of course, everyone understands in their hearts that this is just a rant, so that thoughtful people can simply put things on the bright side, even if it is a dispute, it can be fought openly and aboveboard, but they never thought that there would be a definite result once. .

Speaking of which, Meng Huo's handling of the stalker was the trigger.

With so many naked/men showing off, the residents of the city saw the western scenery, but those who participated and the forces behind it lost face.

They are not stupid, just learn to be good.

Instead of messing about with everyone, it's better to have an election.

It will be clear at a glance who has what kind of thoughts.

Especially Meng Huo.

His arrival was much-anticipated.

People are very friendly on the surface, but they all guess in their hearts, is he really interested in the position of the city lord of the southern city?Needless to say, this is definitely a strong opponent!

But when he sat in the back seat, people's eyes changed again.Compared with just now, the cordial greeting was a bit more genuinely kind.

Of course, there are also those who are deep in the city, thinking that he is most likely to retreat.

Naturally, Meng Huo didn't care about this.

He was just surprised that Qiao Mingxi would come.

This woman has been honest since she left the base, but according to reports from her subordinates, she has gone out several times recently, and every time she can get rid of the people who followed her.

The people he sent were all trained in this area, but they were thrown away by this woman, which showed that the other party was not as harmless as she made it out to be.

And she came here today, is it just to watch?

He observed the past calmly.

Qiao Mingxi had already greeted everyone at this time, and she was sitting quietly on one side. Her face was slightly pale. Although she didn't have much beauty value, she looked a little more weak, which made people feel pity .For example, several ministers nodded at her from time to time, as if to comfort her.From their point of view, Qiao Mingxi must be the most saddened by Qiao Li's death.No one would have thought that there was something hidden between the Qiao family brothers and sisters.

Meng Huo snorted coldly in disdain.

In fact, among the people present, Kong Cheng was probably the only one who was really saddened by Qiao Li's death.

After all, he was picked up by Qiao Li.

It doesn't matter whether the other party is using him to check and balance the Wu family, or they really fancy his ability.

At least, he gave him a chance.

Kong Cheng, who was sitting at the top, quickly announced the start of the election.

First up is the nomination.

The Wu family nominated two, the Fang family nominated one, and the Kong family and the Zhang family also nominated one each. The two of them seemed to be studying with the prince, and they didn't have much competition.In addition, Mr. Cheng Hecheng was also nominated.As for the five ministers, they have no room for delusions in this occasion, so they can only nominate Kong Cheng with all their strength.

Kong Cheng sighed slightly.

He had actually discussed it with several ministers before, expressing that he did not mean to be the lord of the city.

It's a pity that these people are Qiao Li's confidantes.

Once Qiao Li died, they would naturally find a way to keep their power.

Once the members of those families become city lords, it will be very disadvantageous for them.

So they must and can only place their hope on Kong Cheng.

In their view, Kong Cheng does not have a solid background.Even if you become the city lord, you will only win them over, not repel them.

So each of them took Kong Cheng's meaning as modesty and ignored it.

Kong Cheng doesn't want to be the city lord, but it doesn't mean he doesn't even want to be the deputy city lord. At this time, he must not be serious with them or even fall out. Now he can only be caught up in the rack.

The list of candidates came out, followed by their respective advantages.

At this time, the five nominees from each family entered the meeting room.

Meng Huo frowned.

These are obviously puppets!
Sure enough, the next scene made him want to yawn out of boredom.

The three from the Wu family and the Fang family are still decent, and the two from the Kong family and the Zhang family, even if you are just a companion, at least you should have some snacks!It's a waste of everyone's time to talk and stumble!But they continued to talk longer and longer, and finally even the patriarchs of the two families glared at them fiercely, and ended the lengthy narration in embarrassment.

But Cheng He's speech made him feel a little interesting.

Cheng He has a strong body, rough facial features, and a carefree expression. He seems to be a person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.However, judging from the fact that he was able to patiently listen to the speeches of the top five, and expressed his dissatisfaction several times, but not excessively, he was not without scheming.

"...Just sit and talk like this, but you can't say anything! Who wants to be a city lord, that's a matter of lip service? According to me, if you want to be a city lord, you must show your grades first! If you want me to say, we will For a period of one month, whoever can catch the monster, take back the body of the city lord Qiao first, and find out the cause of his death, whoever is the city lord!"

As soon as these words came out, the conference room fell silent.

Everyone knows that this matter is not so easy.

If the monster is easy to catch, why wait now?

How many guards are there in the city lord's mansion, and how strong is the security in the factory area? Didn't it escape?

I haven't even seen her face until now!

After a long while, Wu Qinqi spoke slowly, "So, Mr. Cheng is very sure?"

Cheng He glanced at him, and said flatly, "I have no chance to try, I don't know!"

This is very mysterious.

Meng Huo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

As far as he knew, although Cheng He was promoted to the position of teacher by these families, in fact, these people did not think highly of him.

They thought he was just a warrior and used him as a knife to block Pang Minghui.

For example, this time, although people from the Second Division were used to guard the City Lord's Mansion, in fact, these people were blocked from the periphery and could not enter the core at all.Presumably Cheng He was also very dissatisfied with this, and then took this opportunity to vent it!

Of course, the members of the four families were dissatisfied with Cheng He's behavior.

After thinking about it, Fang Rong of the Fang family objected, "This is not appropriate. If everyone goes their own way, troubles will easily arise."

The five ministers all nodded in agreement.

If Cheng He's idea is approved, the government will suffer the most, and their manpower is the least.

"Patriarch Fang is right. Besides, we chose the city lord in order to better investigate this matter, instead of being scattered like now, with no beginning and no end. Only by gathering everyone's strength, with the city lord at the head, To be able to do their jobs.”

"That's right! It's the truth that the so-called foreign affairs must first settle the interior."

"So, although being a city lord is not a matter of using your mouth, it is a matter of using your brain. You can't take it for granted."

"..."

These people said something to me, implying sarcasm.

Cheng He's face sank when he saw it.

After a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so what do you think should be done? After sitting here for a long time, I haven't even discussed a fart! If you have this time, why don't you do something real! I’m afraid that the monster won’t dare to go up, just say it, I won’t look down on it. After all, for a person who has been in the city all day and hasn’t even killed a few mutant beasts, having supernatural powers is just a display. ordinary people!"

"What? You are not convinced? That's good! Let's compete!"

"Don't worry! I won't fight you directly! That's so boring, we will lead a small team out of the city to kill zombies, and use the number of zombie heads to decide the winner!"

This is not unreasonable.

Meng Huo secretly thought, no matter whether this person wants to be a city lord or not, and whether he is suitable to be a city lord, at least he is a bloody person, better than those who only know nonsense.

The plague of zombies has not been resolved, these people are only concerned about fighting for power, it is really annoying to watch!

Others, however, are more embarrassing.

The five ministers fell silent, and even Wu Qiqi, Fang Rong and others looked unhappy.

Those of them who are patriarchs can't easily go out of the city to take risks, as Cheng He said, they are nesting in the city.It was inevitable that Cheng He meant to criticize Sang and scold Huai, and they all slandered, this really pushed a white-eyed wolf out!
At this moment, Pang Minghui, who had been silent all this time, smoothed things over, "Everyone, don't be impatient! The selection of the city lord is a big matter, and it's right to think more about it."

The latter sentence was for Cheng He.

Cheng He pouted, but didn't continue.

Seeing that no one spoke, Pang Minghui had no choice but to continue, "Actually, what Mr. Cheng said earlier, it makes sense for me to be a city lord to show results. I think it makes sense for the murder of the city lord Qiao. I have been investigating for so long and have no clue. Even the body They were all taken away. I feel very guilty about this matter. Why can those people easily enter and exit the City Lord’s Mansion? And what is the origin of that monster? These are still mysteries. The most important thing is that they are now very likely to If they are still lurking in the city, if they are not caught out and completely wiped out, no matter who becomes the city lord, this is probably a serious worry. Besides, they can kill once, but they may not be able to do it a second time. Speaking of which, the city lord's The candidate really needs to have considerable strength, otherwise, wouldn't we have to go through it again soon?"

He has a modest attitude, and he speaks unhurriedly, but quite calmly, which makes it easy to feel convincing.

After hearing his words, everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.

However, any anger was picked up.

"What does Master Pang mean by this? The enemy easily enters and exits the City Lord's Mansion? Do you think there is something wrong with my Second Division?!"

Pang Minghui glanced at him and said nothing.

Just as Cheng He was about to continue, Kong Cheng spoke up, "The Second Division is indeed weak in defense, doesn't Master Cheng think so?"

Cheng He opened his mouth, but did not continue to argue.

He was angry because in Pang Minghui's words, he implied that the second division was collaborating with the enemy, and even insisted on stealing himself. Although Kong Cheng accused him, he expressed his belief in the loyalty of the second division, but it was not strong enough.

This, indeed, he could not argue with.

Kong Cheng knew about the city lord, and there would be no result in the discussion today, so he simply changed the topic to the group of people who robbed Qiao Li's body.

After noon, time seemed to pass very quickly.

Before they knew it, they discussed it for a long time.

The sky gradually darkened, and there were fewer and fewer people in the building. In the end, only this floor was left with lights on.

Although the discussion on the matter of the city lord did not come to fruition, everyone unanimously decided that the investigation must be stepped up to deal with the enemies who had sneaked into the city.

Kong Cheng is the deputy city lord, and he can only lead this matter.

Others have to actively cooperate.

Although Kong Cheng was also selected as a candidate for the city lord, apart from Wu Qiqi, Fang Rong and others did not have much hostility towards Kong Cheng.Firstly, Kong Cheng was a modest person, and he had already stated that he had no intention of taking this position. Second, he did not come from any family, and he had old grudges with the Wu family, so they were happy to let him be in charge.During the conversation, he did not forget to provoke the relationship between him and the Wu family even more, so that they could not get along well.

After sitting for almost a day, everyone looked tired.

After eating something casually, Kong Cheng announced the end of today's election.

He was about to stand up and speak, when he suddenly found that his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't move his whole body.He tried to open his mouth again, but only made a hum that was so light that it was almost inaudible!
How is this going? !
His face changed drastically, and he rolled his eyes, only to find that the other people at the same table were also horrified and motionless!He squinted hard, and found that Meng Huo was also like them, leaning on the back of the chair weakly!

Various thoughts swirled in his mind, but none of them could solve the predicament in front of him.

But, who did it? !

At this time, Pang Minghui stood up leisurely, and he walked over to open the door with a smile.

He didn't need to speak, a group of soldiers rushed in neatly and quickly, all holding sharp knives in their hands, and then stood beside everyone present one by one.

Kong Cheng soon felt a black shadow approaching him, and the opponent's knife pressed against his neck...

Do you want to rebel? !

He looked at Pang Minghui who returned to the table with angry eyes.

Pang Minghui smiled and waved to the soldier next to him. The soldier immediately dragged Kong Cheng from the chair rudely and threw him on the seat beside him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pang is not trying to rebel."

A crisp female voice explained to everyone, following the voice, Qiao Mingxi slowly stood up and walked to the main seat where Kong Cheng was just now.

Her demeanor at this time is very different from before!

If she was weak and sympathetic just now, then she is very strong and confident now!Pang Minghui, on the other hand, stood beside her respectfully, looking at everyone.

I see……

Meng Huo narrowed his eyes and looked at the energetic Qiao Mingxi.

It turned out that they still underestimated her!

Qiao Mingxi continued what he said just now, "Mr. Pang doesn't want to choose, he just helps me get back what I deserve, like, the position of the city lord of the southern city!"

"Are you trying to say, why do I want to be the city lord?"

Seeing other people's surprise, disbelief, and even contempt, as if they were saying "Are you dreaming" and "How can you be the lord of the city", Qiao Mingxi smiled, looked at the five ministers, and Looking at Kong Cheng, he said to everyone, "I have been working in the logistics department. The head of the logistics department should know how well I am capable of working. The deputy city owner should also be very clear. In the past few years, I have heard a lot from the messy news. In order to distinguish the true from the false, to provide the city lord with the correct route and strategy, the southern city has obtained more than [-] vehicles of materials five times, among which, I dare not say that it is all my handwriting, but it is definitely a great contribution. These, Deputy Kong The city lord shouldn't deny it, right?"

As she spoke, she nodded to Pang Minghui.

Pang Minghui immediately asked his subordinates to tie up everyone with chains, and then each of them stuffed a pill.

After a while, they found that they could talk.

Kong Cheng was also dragged to the table.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "What Miss Qiaoer said is true."

Everyone was amazed at once, some wanted to say something, but the blades of the soldiers beside them pressed even tighter, they could only listen.

Kong Cheng continued, "It's just that, City Master Qiao said that he doesn't want his sister to be too public, so every time the credit is put on other people. This matter, only me, the City Master, and Minister Wang know about it. The password is prohibited, and it cannot be passed on.”

He bowed his head slightly.

Qiao Mingxi is indeed a great talent, and he concealed all her achievements. In fact, he felt that it was inappropriate since the first time he did this, but Qiao Li insisted, and Qiao Mingxi did not object afterwards, and never showed any resentment. Work more conscientiously.Only then did she feel relieved, thinking that this was what she meant too.

If he didn't know Qiao Mingxi's ability, he wouldn't have invited her here today.I just want to hear her opinion, and at the same time hope that she can continue to work for Nanfang City.

Never thought...it would be such a situation...

Qiao Mingxi as the city lord?

He really never thought of it!

It was probably because although she was talented, she had neither strong force nor connections, so he never considered her as a candidate.

But from today's perspective, Pang Minghui turned out to be her lover.

Is it because of Qiao Li?
Or was it Qiao Mingxi's credit that he knew those things earlier?

Qiao Mingxi nodded to Kong Cheng, "Vice City Lord Kong is fair and just. In terms of character, I think you can be regarded as the leader of the southern city! Then you might as well think about it, with my ability, being the city owner has a lot of advantages and disadvantages." Where can't you do it?"

"This..." Kong Cheng paused for a while before sighing, "Not really, it's just..."

He didn't go any further, but Qiao Mingxi continued, "It's just that I'm a woman, and you're not used to being led by a woman. The last days make you think that women are weak and should be protected, so you have I'm not listed as a candidate, are you?"

"……Yes."

Qiao Mingxi smiled, "Then you can change this concept from now on. I am confident that I can lead the southern city on the road to prosperity, but you can't! This shows that I am stronger than you and everyone sitting here. He is more suitable to sit on the seat of the city lord than you!"

Cheng He sneered.

"It's so big! Don't you rely on Pang Minghui? If you don't have him and his soldiers, you..."

"But I do!" Qiao Mingxi smiled, and interrupted him rudely, "I have the ability to make him support me, but you can't, that's the difference!"

"You don't need to use my own strength as a point of attack. No city lord needs to kill zombies and mutant beasts himself. What the southern city needs now is the brain, not the limbs! The death of the city lord Qiao is a clear lesson! His force value Is it taller than everyone present here? But what happened? I don’t need to say it!”

"I just want to say, if you support me as the city lord, then all of us will build the southern city stronger together! If you oppose..."

Qiao Mingxi paused, then suddenly smiled brightly.

"Very serious consequences."
