The arrested person was a little panicked, but considering that there were so many people present, he was not afraid of Tie Tang's dirty tricks in front of him.

So he held his chest and abdomen high and said proudly: "I am the head of the Lu family, Lu Hongyi, what do you want, sir?"

Tie Tang leaned back and crossed his fingers on his chest.

"People have thousands of thoughts, which are chaotic and chaotic. If you have such dark thoughts, they are nothing.

But if you have to say it, it’s your fault.

You go, I don’t need it, and the people of Qingshui City don’t need the help of a family like yours!”

Lu Hongyi panicked. He looked around and saw many people looking at him coldly.

Many officials and aristocratic families present may indeed not be considered to have very noble moral character.

But Qingshui County, especially Qingshui City, is the hometown of many people present. Their ancestors have lived here for generations and continue to this day.

If it weren’t for force majeure, how could we easily leave our hometown and go somewhere else?

Stirred by these dazzling eyes, Lu Hongyi calmed down: "It was just a joke before, please don't take it to heart."

"What kind of place do you think this is? Who are you to make such a joke with me?"

"Qiu Zhengshou!"

Qiu Zhengyang stood up immediately: "My subordinate is here."

"Please invite the head of the Lu family to sit down at the Supervisory County Residence. I have brought back a batch of good tea from the Holy Capital. You might as well let the head of the Lu family taste it first."

Qiu Zhengyang laughed: "Your Excellency is so polite and considerate."

As soon as he waved his hand, two supervisors stood up, walked to the left and right sides of Lu Hongyi, and secretly lifted him up.

"My lord, what do you mean by this? You are the governor of a county, how can you also be the supervisor? I want to sue the Holy Capital."

Lu Hongyi is anxious.

He couldn't help but be impatient, because he found that he had become the chicken that Tie Tang killed to scare the monkeys.

He doesn't want to be a chicken.

Tie Tang waved his hand as if to shoo away flies without even looking at it.

The two supervisors will not care what Lu Hongyi says, they only listen to their own orders.

"Master Ji, save me!"

Si Guangji raised his eyelids slightly, knowing that this person was from the Ji family faction.

In the past, it would have been a good thing to allow such a noble family to decline.

Because he is not one of his own, and the Lu family is gone, he can still share some of the Lu family's territory, and even the Ji family will be affected a little.

But now it's different.

Tie Tang clearly wants to seize the lead, and he cannot allow the other party to strengthen his momentum.

"Sir, wait!"

"Sir, wait!"

Si Guangji and the head of the Ji family spoke at the same time.

"Oh? What suggestions do you two have?" Tie Tang, Dama Jin Dao, was sitting in the main seat, surrounded by heroes. Even if you throw away the most terrifying Buddha, there are also masters such as Li Qingwan, Qiu Zhengyang, Lu Zhengqing, Fang Lexian and so on.

.

Coupled with the military talisman in hand, all generals, no matter which faction they belong to, only have names and no real power.

Tie Tang has completely controlled half of the power in Qingshui City.

"The head of the Lu family just made a slip of the tongue, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. It would be better to wait until the matter is discussed before handling it."

Tie Tang glanced back and forth at Si Guangji and the head of the Ji family, and then at the restless family heads.

"Forget it, since you two are the ones to speak, I will give you this face."

Plop!

As soon as the two supervisors let go, Lu Hongyi sat on the ground in a daze, his whole body dripping with cold sweat, and his back robe was soaked with sweat.

In the end, the head of the Ji family signaled to the people on his side to help him, and walked to the corner to sit down.

As a result, the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point, and many people realized that Tie Tang was serious and not a test.

Some weak aristocratic families that had not yet taken sides, or were standing on the opposite side, began to remain silent, preparing to let the powerful aristocratic families charge forward.

No matter what the final result is, they can only go with the flow. This is the tragedy of the weak.

Sure enough.

Others dare not speak, but the four major aristocratic families obviously have no scruples in this regard.

The head of the Yang family stood up and brought up the old matters again.

"Since you don't know how much money you have, how dare you invite the masters of the Fang family to come and set up the formation? If you don't have enough financial resources by then, won't you just make people laugh for nothing?"

Tie Tang remained silent and looked at Fang Lexian.

The latter stood up, still wearing his signature businessman smile.

"You don't need to worry, Governor Tie and I are brothers. All materials, materials and treasures will be supplied by our Zhenbao Pavilion, and we guarantee the most fair price."

"What my uncle said is what my Qingshui Fang family meant." The head of the Fang family, who had been silent all this time, spoke up to support Fang Lexian's words, which was like giving everyone half a piece of reassurance.

Si Guangji's expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask: "No matter how fair it is, it has a price after all. If it exceeds what we can bear..."

"Don't worry, Master Si." Tie Tang waved his hand and changed his title to clarify the other party's position.

"The formation of the formation is a matter of one city. I will set up a separate department to be responsible for coordinating and measuring the financial donations donated by everyone, and will also make all details public one by one.

Notices will be posted every day to inform the whole city.

If anyone feels that something is wrong, they can go to the county government office at any time to investigate and ensure that the matter will be dealt with clearly."

Tie Tang's words caused another uproar because there had been no public announcement in this world before.

It is impossible for the people to know what the imperial government wants to do, how much money it collects, and where it is used.

Not to mention the government, even they themselves would not be able to achieve this.

Therefore, Tie Tang's decision undoubtedly overturned everyone's old concepts and made everyone feel his sincerity.

At this time, the court's credibility was full of gold, with the entire Shang Dynasty backing it.

In addition, these people in the palace are not ordinary people, but officials from aristocratic families with extraordinary power and discernment.

Some ordinary means cannot be hidden from their eyes.

Since Tie Tang said these words, he can only do this. If something goes wrong, there will be no way to deal with him.

"Is there such a thing?"

"If it can really be implemented...then he really won't get a single benefit."

"From this point of view, perhaps Mr. Tie is really working for Qingshui City sincerely."

"In this case...if it is within my ability, it is not unacceptable to pay a little money."

"Of course it won't work if it's too much, but I can do it if it's less."

........

Many people began to speak loosely, and the eyes they looked at Tie Tang began to soften.

Just because they had compared their feelings before, they thought that Tie Tang would make a lot of money in the name of the city defense formation as soon as he took office.

Who can agree?

But if it were fully disclosed...that would be different.

At least everyone's money did not fall into anyone's pocket, and they did indeed do something practical. Many people can still accept this situation.

It’s just...

With the same rice feeding hundreds of people, how could Tie Tang's plan be realized so easily?

The head of the Gou family stood up, looked gloomy, and asked a difficult question with a smile on his face.

"What you said is absolutely true, and I believe you can do it."

"It's just..."

"The details of the money can be announced, and the various expenses required for purchasing heavenly materials, earthly treasures and even setting up formations, but it seems difficult to be open and transparent and convince everyone."
