Mortal Epic of Douluo

"You are the one here", these words reminded Atreus that he was both an earl and a city lord. He had great power in the city of Pan, but he would definitely touch the interests of these powerful people.

Especially Wang Erlang, who Chang Song calls "the most powerful tyrant in the Northern Kingdom". Whether he is an enemy or a friend depends entirely on how Atreus handles things.

In the days of Tiandou's empire, the word "city lord" was originally a title for the officer in charge of a city, but gradually, the meaning of the word returned to its original meaning - "the master of the city".

Pan City is the fiefdom of Pan Sen (Atreus), with a settlement of 2,000 households, and the responsibility of guarding the land. Even if he is not appointed by the city lord from the center of the empire, he is the nominal "master" of Pan City.

Everyone in the Wang family said hello and then went back home. As they left, the people all breathed a sigh of relief. This shows how high the status of the Snow Wolf Wang family is in Pan City.

Several people came out of the crowd and bowed their heads, saying that they were Pancheng officials and would like to greet the earl.

After the aristocratic restoration of the Tiandou Empire, the local government system was mostly destroyed. The current officials can be divided into four major categories.

The first category is city officials, who are responsible for drafting, promulgating, and executing government orders, and are under the jurisdiction of the [Governor].

The second category is city defense, which is responsible for the defense of the city and the city lord's palace. It is also responsible for maintaining public security in the city and arresting bandits. It is under the jurisdiction of the [City Lieutenant].

The third category is the tax collectors, who are responsible for collecting various taxes and are under the jurisdiction of the [Tax Chief].

The fourth category is miscellaneous officials, who are responsible for various miscellaneous specific affairs, such as warehouse management, post station, weaving and dyeing, iron smelting and other miscellaneous tasks, and are directly responsible to the city lord.

You won’t know if you don’t ask, but you’ll be shocked if you ask. The governor of Pancheng, the city captain, the judge, and the tax chief are all direct descendants of the Wang, Jin, and Bai families respectively. These three types of officials are basically from the three major families.

The collateral descendants are in charge.

As for those low-level miscellaneous jobs, it was difficult to recognize and understand them all at once, and Atreus had no time to understand them specifically now, because he had more important things to do now.

The people of Pan City surrounded their Count Panson, and the Lord of Pan City walked all the way to the City Lord's Mansion. It looked like a scene where the officials and the people were having fun together, but Atreus knew that the new official had three things to do when he took office. If today

If he can burn a fire, then he is at least the city lord on the surface. If he can't even fart, then he is a city pig!

Following the central avenue of Pan City and arriving at the central square of the city, Atreus suddenly reined in the reins and drove the horse to look around.

"Ayan! Xiao Ao!"

After just shouting, Liu Yan and Oscar understood what Atreus meant. They untied the eight horse bandits who had broken their hamstrings, threw them directly from their horses to the ground, and then made them kneel in a row, facing each other.

Facing south.

Atreus swung his riding crop hard, making a loud whip in the air, and at the same time said: "Everyone, does anyone know who is kneeling on the ground?"

The crowd of onlookers rustled for a while, and soon a brave person shouted loudly:

"They are horse bandits!"

"They are Zhang Mazi's subordinates!"

"You bastard horse bandit, give back my third uncle's life!"

"..."

Atreus waited until the noise gradually subsided, then pointed at the horse bandits kneeling on the ground and said loudly: "On the way to Pan City, I was thinking about what gifts I should prepare for the elders of Pan City so that

Everyone recognizes me, Count Pansen, who is professed by His Majesty Emperor Tiandou, and the Lord of Pan City appointed by the central government of the empire. Oh, what a coincidence——"

"Just yesterday afternoon, a group of horse bandits rushed down the mountain to attack me, the Count of the Empire! I revealed my identity, hoping that I could understand them with emotion and reason, and make them put down their butcher knives. Who knew they would

Extremely cruel, he slashed with a knife! Among the accompanying team, a brave imperial tax collector named Deng Kai rose up to fight and unfortunately died..."

"I heard just now that some people's relatives and friends died because of these horse bandits! So today, it's up to me to avenge the villagers!"

Atreus's words were spoken by his soul power. They were high and loud, and could be heard clearly within a radius of 500 meters as long as the ears were fine.

After patting his horse and coming to the city captain Jin Ge, Atreus said expressionlessly: "Go and behead these horse bandits one by one!"

"This..." Jin Ge looked embarrassed and said with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, today is a great day for you to take office, why don't you want to see blood? Put them in jail first and set a day for trial.

Submit the judgment opinions to the capital city of Calgary, and then proceed with the execution after receiving approval. This is the process that complies with the law."

"Procedure? Law?" Atreus chuckled and said: "Then do you know that the barons attack barons and viscounts, regardless of the reason, with forty or one hundred sticks. The barons attack the imperial earls and above, forming

If you are both rebellious, can you kill them immediately without asking?"

"Well...since the earl was attacked by this group of horse bandits, he can just be beheaded on the spot. There is no need to do it in front of the people on this happy day..."

"I tell you to take action!" At some unknown moment, Atreus's spear was already in his hand, and the tip of the spear was pressed against Jin Ge's neck. "I'll count to three. If you don't take action, you're a fellow horse bandit."

Party, behead it!"

"three--!"

"Sir, there is really no need on this big day..."

"two--!

"

"Sir, I am a direct descendant of the three major families. Pan Chengwei, you have no right to kill first and tell later!"

"one!

!”

"You evil horse bandits, I, Jin Ge, will kill you beasts today on behalf of the people of Pan City!"

Jin Ge shouted and pulled out the sword from his waist. He walked upright behind the horse bandit and touched the thin wound on his neck that was scratched by the sharp spear tip and was bleeding.

After being frightened for a while, I finally mustered up the courage, raised the sword in my hand high, and swung it down with my eyes closed.

"laugh--"

Jin Ge's sword was very sharp. This sword cut off a horse bandit's head like a melon and vegetables. A fountain of blood spurted out, splashing on his face and body, and the smell of blood entered his nose.

He almost vomited it out.

Atreus laughed and said: "Have you never killed anyone, a dignified city captain? Are you so brave enough to hold an important position in a city?"

Jin Ge said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I have already killed you. The city defense is very important. I'd better go back to patrol the city wall..." After saying that, he started to escape.

Liu Yan, who was on the side, grabbed his shoulder and pushed him back with a gentle force. Atreus said calmly: "There are seven more. When you finish chopping them down, you can leave."

Already."

"I...this..." Jin Ge was about to cry. Ordinary people didn't know, but as a direct descendant of the Jin family, how could he not know who was standing behind these horse bandits?

Who is it? Forget about one, if he is allowed to behead all the remaining seven horse bandits, then his position as a city captain will be over.

Seeing that he refused to take action, Atreus once again swung the spear and pointed it at his throat. Jin Ge could no longer hold on, and knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, Jin Ge knows that he is timid and incompetent, so he is not worthy of the position."

Lieutenant Pan Cheng, I would like to resign from you now!"

With that said, Jin Ge took out the Cheng Wei Seal from his pocket, held it high and handed it out.

Atreus looked at the scene in front of him, his face became even darker, and he was silent for a while before he signaled Liu Yan to put away the city captain's seal and ignore Jin Ge.

Next, he did not embarrass the other officials. Instead, he took out a sword made by Liu Yan himself and beheaded the remaining seven horse bandits one by one. In the process, he did not use his soul power to kill the flying bandits.

He blocked the incoming blood and allowed it to splash on his face and body.

The young earl, who originally had a resolute face, now looked like a "murderous maniac" against the background of blood, especially his cold eyes, which made many timid people tremble.

Chang Song, who was originally as timid as a mouse, suddenly felt courageous for some unknown reason. He raised his arms and shouted:

"The count is here, Pan City is at peace!"

"When the count comes, there will be a blue sky!"

I don’t know whether he felt the same in his heart or just superficially, but after Chang Song shouted these two sentences, the square immediately burst into waves of applause and cheers.
