The Ghost King never thought that he would be able to eat with a little kid. The only person around his age was the little boy's sister, but she was also the only one.
"Young Master, what do you think about tonight?" The Patriarch spoke.
"Very well, thank you for your hospitality, Patriarch." The Ghost King knew that regardless of the other party's age or status, the other party's Patriarch was still sitting there, so he spoke with the etiquette of a Patriarch.
"Young Master is too polite. It's already late, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?" The Dongfang family head asked, "What do you think, young master?"
"Sure." The Spirit King agreed without hesitation.
The Ghost King knew that he couldn't rush this matter, so he didn't care about this night.
While the Ghost King was struggling to explain this to the children, Jin Ling had already started moving. First was Li Clan's Li Lin being proclaimed by the Li Clan's Patriarch to be the Li Clan's new Patriarch, and then the matter of the Li Clan was handed over to Li Lin to handle. After that, Li Lin announced that the Li Clan was supporting the Prince, and after that, Li Lin temporarily stayed in the Prince's Mansion.
Afterwards, the Blue Sky Gang also explained that the previous matter was all planned by the prince. They were originally supporting the prince, so the matter of seizing the mansion was forced upon them. So now that the Prince's goal had been achieved, the Blue Sky Gang also left the Prince's Mansion. However, they would still accept the Prince's leadership.
The matter of the Jun Family was a thorny one. When the Jun Family's Third Young Master arrived home, he saw that his second son had died just like that, and his spirit had been weakened even further. The Jun Family's Patriarch was now regretting his decision to not let his sons know the truth so that they could become angry, but who would've known that they would become so suspicious of each other? If the Jun Family's Patriarch had known that this would happen, he might have given up on this suspicion.
After that, the Jun Family's Patriarch announced that he would allow his youngest son to succeed the position of Patriarch, and that he would no longer be in charge of the Family's affairs. However, because of the death of his second brother, his youngest son became somewhat silent, and he went straight to Cheng Ying, "Cheng Ying, the Jun Family has reached such a stage because of our mutual suspicion, so I do not wish for such a thing to happen again. "Therefore, I hope that the Jun Family will join the Prince's Mansion. From then on, there will be no Jun Family in this world."
"I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Chengying knew that the heavens would not let the pie drop, so he didn't agree with his request, "Moreover, the Jun Family is a family with many years of heritage, isn't this a little too hasty?"
"What does Young Master Cheng Ying think we should do?" The Jun Family's current Patriarch said.
"I see that you two aren't engaged to the Li Family, so why don't you discuss it with them? The Li Family and the Jun Family both have thousands of years of history, I believe they have their own ways." "Cheng Ying said." I hope that the Patriarch will grieve. There are many things that the Patriarch has to take care of, and you cannot lose too much because of such a small matter! "
"Alright then," the Jun Family's Patriarch said as he left.
The Crown Prince Nangong walked out, "It seems that the Jun Family really does have no leader."
"Then we can rob them while they are still hot!" Cheng Ying didn't understand why the prince hadn't agreed to the previous request of the Jun Family's Patriarch.
"This is not the time, although the Jun Family has no leader, but strength is not to be ignored, so we need to help them, and not take advantage of the situation." Nangong said, "Such a big Jun Family is not something we can swallow up right now. And it's happening too fast over there, so we have to speed it up. "
"I know." Chengying said, "Things are basically over here. What do we do next? "
"The next thing to do is to let Jinling restore order. After that, we need to wait a bit before we know. But, the order in Jinling is also not that easy to restore." Nangong said, "Jinling will definitely have some hidden forces, we must get them out, we definitely can't let them hide in Jinling, and some merchants will inevitably suffer some losses. Now, you should inform all the merchants in Jinling, and all the taxes will be exempted this year. Nangong said.
"What about Hidden Wind and senior Fish King?" Chengying finally realized that something was wrong, but he did not expect that Hidden Wind and the Fish King were not here.
"It's their business again." Nangong said.
When Chengying went to do what he needed to do, Nangong looked at him and smiled maliciously before leaving.
After the King's order was issued, the entire Jinling City was filled with joy. The merchants who had suffered losses received a large amount of compensation, so everyone still loved and doted on the King.
Chengying was very popular because everyone loved him. Every day, whenever he went out, someone would give him something, such as breakfast delivery in the morning, food delivery at noon, and even a woman for him at night. Of course, he kicked this person out.
Jinling City had gained unprecedented unity, and some people even started to send messages saying that the prince didn't have a son, and was actually preparing to pass the throne on to Chengying. As a result, more and more people came to flatter and flatter him, but there was nothing Cheng Ying could do about it. Although he was a hitman, he wasn't very good at this sort of thing.
Nangong did not have any thoughts towards this matter. In fact, once again, when Cheng Ying told him about this matter, Nangong even said indifferently, "This means that you are the target of the people. This is a good thing!" In fact, Nangong was very satisfied with this matter.
Chengying didn't know what the Prince was thinking, but he had always regarded Wuwei as his young master, so he had never doubted that Wuwei would be the future Jinling King. However, right now, he was making such a rumor. Chengying knew that there were no waves without wind. He also knew that this matter was not baseless, and might even have been implicitly approved by the prince. However, he still decided to find the prince to explain this matter clearly.
I know you have feelings for inaction, but you have to know that this small manor won't be able to keep him here. But he needs someone to guard this place for him, so the Ghost King must follow inaction, so you're the only one who can help him keep the people behind him. "
Cheng Ying was slightly depressed, "Why can't I follow Young Master?"
"It's not convenient for you to treat him like a young master. The Spirit King sees him as a brother, so it's safer. " Nangong said, "Moreover, the rear is very important. If there's no problem with it, this is his safe haven."
"I know, Your Highness." Cheng Ying understood the purpose of the prince's actions and his own importance. Thus, he quickly entered into a new role: learning about the Prince's Mansion from Nangong every day, and even starting to interact with those who flattered and fawned over him. This was not easy for Chengying, who had once been a hitman.
