Chapter 214 Protest
As the discussion grew louder, soon the city lord, who was still in his dream, was awakened by the servant who was rushing to come.
"Report to the city lord, Lord Li and Lord Luo are here."
"What's the matter?"
"It seems that the Eighth Academy of Reunion was postponed."
"The postponement of the Eighth Academy's Martial Arts Association?" Zhou Lin was a little confused.
"Why did they postpone the Eighth Academy's Huiwu?"
"It seems to be your decision!"
"My decision?" Zhou Lin looked confused.
"This morning, a notice issued by the City Lord's Mansion was posted in various parts of the city, saying that the Eighth Courtyard Huiwu was postponed for ten days, and your seal was also printed on it?"
"What? When did I send such a notice?"
"I don't know about this villain, you might as well go out and have a look!"
Zhou Lin hurriedly put on his clothes. When he came to the hall, he found a room where people were sitting, and then he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"City Lord, the Eighth Academy Martial Arts Conference was held in advance in advance to make more preparations for the summit. But you, just as the finals came, the Eighth Academy Martial Arts Conference was postponed. Before, some people had seriously questioned the fairness of the competition. Now, such a fuss is even more difficult to explain."
"Our Ye family spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources for this competition. Finally, my son entered the finals, but the competition was suddenly postponed. You must give me an explanation."
...
Faced with everyone's doubts and questions, Zhou Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be impatient. I have not issued any announcement of the postponement of the Eighth Academy of Martial Arts. I just knew about this. I must have done this on purpose."
"The notice above is stamped with your seal. I have also asked someone to appraise it. It's real, is it fake?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord frowned slightly: "Have you really been to the appraisal?"
Everyone nodded together.
Only then did Zhou Lin realize something.
"Is someone taking my seal to do this privately?"
Zhou Lin turned around and said to the person beside him: "Go and get my seal."
Soon, the city lord's seal was taken.
Zhou Lin gently touched the bottom of the seal with his hand and found that it was still wet. Now he was completely sure that someone had used his seal because the last time he used the seal was last month.
"Who is so bold that he dares to steal my seal!"
Zhou Lin was furious. He felt that the city lord's majesty was despised. Of course, it is important to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but there is another important thing now, that is, to issue another notice. The Eighth Courthouse Martial Arts Association was held as scheduled.
When the new announcement covered the old announcement, there was another wave of commotion in Lonely Heaven, and the matter of stealing seals became more and more intense. Everyone felt that they were being fooled. Everyone hated the person who used the seals to the core, and some even spontaneously joined forces to search the whole audience.
As the notice was changed in time, the Eighth Academy's Martial Arts was still held on time. Just waiting and seeing in public, neither of the two contestants appeared, and even the clansmen of the two families did not appear. According to regulations, absent means giving up, but if the two absent at the same time, the competition will end in vain.
Obviously, the city lord would not let such a thing happen. He immediately ordered people to go to the Li family and the Ye family to inquire about the matter. After a while, the result was that the two contestants were suddenly poisoned and fell into a coma and could not participate in the competition. The poison they were infected with was the secret recipe of the city lord's mansion.
For a moment, Zhou Lin was pushed to the forefront again. The seal was stolen before, and it was already a big show, but now it is because of...
As the city lord, he naturally cannot escape the blame.
Faced with the criticism of everyone, Zhou Lin's face became increasingly ugly. The City Lord's Mansion was very cautious and ordinary people could not enter. However, these two things were accomplished so well that this person must know everything about the City Lord's Mansion, which means that this person is from the City Lord's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lin felt a little uneasy. Being able to get the seal was enough to show that this person was his confidant. So who would be among the people he trusted?
When a series of names kept flashing through his mind, Zhou Lin was not sure, but at this moment, he made a secret decision in his heart that if he found this person in the future, he would have to be punished heavily, whether it was his own son or grandson, he should not tolerate it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Lin's eyes slowly passed through the audience and said, "It is obvious that the purpose of these two things is to postpone the Eighth Academy's Martial Arts Meeting. Although I don't know who did it yet, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end."
"What the city lord means is the competition to be postponed?"
"What can I do if both contestants are absent?"
"Absent shouldn't he betrayal directly? Chen Bufan was eliminated because he was late on the day. If the competition was only postponed today, then this would be too unfair to Chen Bufan. I seriously doubt that there is inside information about the Eighth Academy's martial arts."
A strange sound suddenly came from the crowd, and soon people thought of the late incident not long ago. Yesterday, Chen Bufan and Wang Shu won countless fans. Such a strange sound suddenly appeared just now, and people immediately responded.
So soon after, a shady sound rang again.
The incident that could have been calmed was once again pushed to the forefront. Zhou Lin's face looked extremely ugly. He was suspected of manipulating the competition before, but now these two things are related to the City Lord's Mansion at the same time. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it clearly.
Just as he was about to say something, the crowd was in anger.
"If this competition is postponed, I suggest Chen Bufan resurrect and enter the finals directly."
"Yes, let Chen Bufan resurrect, with his strength against Wang Shu yesterday, he will definitely win the championship."
...
The voices of support far exceed those of opposition, and the entire lonely paradise was shrouded in a strong protest.
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Lin knew that he could only obey the public opinion, but once Chen Bufan was resurrected, the Eighth Academy martial arts meeting would be the most unruly in history. But if the competition was only postponed, the difficult public anger would continue, and it would be very likely to threaten his position as the city lord. In this lonely paradise, how many people are waiting for him to step down?
"I announced that the Eighth Academy of Martial Arts will be postponed, and Chen Bufan will be resurrected and entered the finals."
Zhou Lin reluctantly made this decision.
"Sir, this is unfair! If Chen Bufan can be resurrected and enter the finals, then I also require him to enter the finals."
At this time, Wenxuan walked out of nowhere, looking very wronged.
Although Wenxuan is not as famous as Chen Bufan, everyone has heard about him. He is another dark horse in Huairou Academy besides Chen Bufan. In the last quarter-finals, he was eliminated due to the poisoning incident. It is considered to be a damned person. It is not an exaggeration to ask him to enter the finals again.
