He Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something: "You couldn't be...too fast?"

"Cut the mess with a quick knife, I don't have time to do Tai Chi with them."

The group returned to the county government office. Tie Tang took four people to the Laiying Hall and ordered the government servants to bring hundreds or thousands of seats, filling the entire Laiying Hall in front and back.

Then he threw the magistrate's official seal into the air outside the palace, injected witchcraft power to emit divine light, which illuminated most of the sky above Qingshui City, and wanted to summon other officials in the city.

"Lord He, ask your men to send a message to all the heads of the major families in Qingshui City, saying that my new official has taken office, and invite them to come and do some courtesy."

He Changsheng frowned: "I'm afraid they won't be willing to come."

"It doesn't matter. If you want to come, you can come. If you don't want to come, don't come. Don't force it." Tie Tang sat down at the main seat in the middle and ordered the yamen servant to make tea, looking at ease.

After He Changsheng left, Tie Tang looked at Lu Zhengqing again: "Brother Lu, what does the Lu family mean?"

"Wait and see!"

Qiu Zhengyang also sat down in the hall. After hearing this, he said slowly: "The Lu family has been in Qingshui City for many years. Compared with other aristocratic families, they do have the confidence to make the final decision."

"Okay, the Lu family has the reputation." Tie Tang also knew that what Qiu Zhengyang said was true.

Several people took their seats, smelling the faint fragrance of tea echoing in the hall, and quietly waiting for others to come.

It won’t take long.

Officials came one after another, and Qiu Zhengyang also summoned the two deputy guards of the Supervisory Palace, as well as many supervisory envoys who were still in the city at this time.

After Tianwen, Li Geng, Fang Lexian, Wu Congyun and others arrived, the huge guest reception hall still seemed sparsely populated.

"No, Tietou, except for the Supervisory Hall, no one else seems to look at your face." Tian Wen teased you when he came up.

Tie Tang just smiled: "How can I compare with Mr. Li? It's normal for them not to listen to my orders."

A stick of incense passed by.

There are many more official faces in the Laiying Hall. These are officials who have already formed factions and are now siding with Tietang.

But this scene is obviously much inferior to the previous call by Li Qingwan.

The time for half a stick of incense has passed.

When the first head of the aristocratic family arrived, Long Yu stood up to greet him because he was his father.

Immediately afterwards, some heads of aristocratic families who were friends with the Long family also rushed to the Laiying Palace.

Tie Tang came up to say hello one by one and asked them to find a comfortable seat and sit down.

The aristocratic families in Qingshui City do not have a unified faction and are extremely chaotic.

Even the four great families of Si, Gou, Ji, and Yang, which are known as one, only advance and retreat for the common interests of Qingshui City.

If you take a closer look at their respective backgrounds and backers, you will find that they are not the same people.

Time passes slowly.

The head of the Ji family also arrived accompanied by Ji Yingzhe. He was not completely on the sidelines of Tie Tang, but also wanted to wait and see.

If Tie Tang's previous power to overcome the calamity was not too powerful, Ji Yingzhe would not have come even if he spoke.

Then Li Qingwan’s father, a man with snow-white hair on his temples, also came to represent the Li family.

The Li family was in decline before, but the character Li Qingwan came into being thirty years ago. After thirty years of keeping a low profile, she has returned to the top of the second-rate.

Therefore, when the head of the Li family arrived, many heads of aristocratic families stood up to greet him.

At this point, it can be said that everyone who is supposed to come has come. Whether the remaining people will come...it still depends on the county government office.

Many experts present, including Tie Tang, sensed the arrival of hundreds of carriages at the gate of the county government office.

These major aristocratic families located in the lower reaches of Qingshui City are still hesitating and hesitating at this moment. Their carriages have arrived, but no one is getting out of the carriages.

When Tie Tang saw that it was almost done, he winked at Fang Lexian. The latter understood, and disappeared into the Laiying Hall in a flash.

It didn’t take long.

A magnificent eight-horse carriage turned its wheels and slowly arrived in front of the county government office.

Many heads of aristocratic families who were watching in the car were shocked when they saw this scene.

On the light yellow curtain, the word 'square' with a beautiful cluster of embroidered flowers is printed.

Fang family!

Everyone knows the name of the Fang family.

It is also an extremely independent existence in Qingshui City. It never competes for fame and wealth, nor does it have disputes with others. It is extremely low-key and only cultivates its own one-third of an acre of land.

If we divide it according to the level of the aristocratic families in Qingshui City, the Fang family in Qingshui City is about second-rate, not the top group.

But everyone knows the Fang family’s reputation.

If there is a real conflict with the Fang family, even the Lu family, the number one family in Qingshui City, will probably not get much benefit.

Now that the Fang family's carriage is coming, it obviously exceeds the expectations of all the family owners present.

According to their expectations...

No matter how Qingshui City changes, the Fang family will not interfere in its affairs. They will only listen to the court's orders.

The head of the Fang family got off the carriage, still looking kind-hearted, smiled and said hello to the gatekeeper, and strode into the county government office.

He did not admonish any of the family heads present, but only explained with actions.

Thumb! Thumb! Thumb!

One by one, the heads of the aristocratic families got off the carriage, firmed up their thoughts, and followed the heads of the Fang family into the county government office.

Come to Yingdian.

Nearly half of the thousands of seats that Tie Tang asked anyone to place are already occupied.

In addition to more than a hundred officials from Qingshui City, the rest are heads of major aristocratic families.

Although there are many people, not many of them really matter.

Except for Lu Zhengqing, the No. 1 aristocratic family in Qingshui City, who was present as the county magistrate, no one came.

None of the heads of the four first-class families of Si, Gou, Ji, and Yang were present.

These five family heads alone represent half of Qingshui City.

These five people did not come, and almost no one from the officials who were affiliated with them or the aristocratic families who were friendly with them came.

Tie Tang looked at the surprised and uncertain people present and knew that it was still not enough to convince them.

Without the heads of the five major families, this meeting will only become a joke.

He waved to Bi Qi and asked Bi Qi to inform Wang Andao, and then looked at Tian Wen and Li Geng.

The three of them all understood, and each stood up and left to welcome the palace.

At this moment.

In the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe stood up.

"Master Tie, may I ask why you summoned us here?"

Tie Tang sat upright without raising his eyelids.

"You should have heard that I have summoned many colleagues and those in charge here... to discuss the matter of setting up a city defense formation."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Immediately, a wavering grassroots stood up and left.

"This matter is too big for me to decide. I will discuss it with you sir another day."

Tie Tang dipped his index finger into a drop of green tea soup, then flicked his finger and flew out of the hall.

Rumble~

Thunder boomed and dark clouds gathered.

It started to rain heavily at the open-air well platform with a radius of several feet outside the Yingying Hall.

"You walked in such a hurry...be careful not to get your clothes wet."

"What do you mean by this, sir? Do you have to use force to stay here?"

Tie Tang stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and instantly took off the original county guard's official robe, revealing the dark inspector's official uniform underneath.

"Gone."

"Just don't look back!"
