Chapter 391 City History
Luohua City Dongshan, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

While playing with the city lord's order, Baozhu flipped through the thick "City History" in his hand boredly.

This is a book similar to modern local chronicles, which records in detail the evolution of Luohua City in terms of geography, history, and culture since its establishment.

It's been the third day since she took office, and since she entered the City Lord's Mansion from the first day, Guanshi Xu put this thick "City History" in front of her, in the name of letting her get acquainted with Luohua City earlier.

From the city history, she learned that she was already the second city lord of Luohua City after it was built thousands of years ago.

For thousands of years, Luohua City has broken the old hereditary system of city lords, adhering to the principle of "appointing people on their merits". The next city lord will be selected based on the selection of the previous city lord and his contribution to Luohua City.

In fact, it only took her two days to read "City History".

She found that most of the books were records of the praises of previous city lords.

She also understands this point. After all, the history of the city must be written by the government, so it is natural to describe the incident from the official standpoint.

But precisely because of reading "City History", she had two questions.

First, as the new city lord, she was nominated by the former city lord Hua Wuxin, but she really couldn't remember any contribution she had made to Luohua City.

This made her both excited and apprehensive.

What is exciting is that if she, the new city lord, is dismissed because she has not made any contribution to Luohua City, does that mean that she can return to Ruyixuan and continue to live happily with Lu Yunchu?
What's disturbing is that it's the first time in two lifetimes to be such a big official, the lord of a city!If within a few days of taking office, she was dismissed because she had not made any contribution to Luohua City, would she become the city lord with the shortest term in Luohua City's history?

But soon, Guanshi Xu made all the excitement and apprehension in her heart disappear.

"City Master, do you still remember that you rescued two guards who were poisoned by the zombie king last year? Later, you personally wiped out the zombie king in the Beishan mine. This is your great contribution to Luohua City! The contribution you have made silently has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city at this time. Word of mouth is passed on by the common people, saying that you are the city lord who made the greatest contribution before you took office!"

According to Manager Xu's explanation, the mining industry has become Luohua City's biggest economic pillar industry. If she hadn't wiped out the Zombie King at that time, it would have become a big problem for Luohua City to continue mining.

Once it loses the support of the mining industry, it is impossible for Luohua City to continue to prosper and prosper.

And the zombie king, although ordinary people have never seen it before, but according to the description of the two guards who were rescued by her with the "Ling Tongue Pill", the zombie king is not something ordinary people can handle...

After she took office, the first thing Xu Guanshi did was to spread her deeds back then, so that she, the "extraordinary" new city lord, won the true admiration and support of the people.

I have to say, Hua Wuxin played this game really early...

I also have to say that Guanshi Xu is really cultivated by Hua Wuxin, a talent who has "everything"...

The second question is that after she read the "City History", she found that there was no introduction about the first city lord.

She once asked Guanshi Xu, but Guanshi kept silent about this question, and only looked at her with a face that she had never seen ups and downs before, looking at her very enigmatically.

Hey……

In the huge study room, there were only her and Guanshi Xu standing beside him.

Speaking of which, she is the lord of the city, and he is in charge, but every time she walks into the study, she feels like a primary and middle school student being watched by adults and studying hard...

He stood up and stretched lazily, but halfway through the stretch, he met Guanshi Xu's unchanging and serious gaze, and retracted his arm resentfully.

correct!She suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly sat down and flipped through the thick "City History".

She searched "City History" from beginning to end, but couldn't find the information she wanted.Finally she raised her head and asked Manager Xu:
"Guan Xu, have you ever heard of the fact that 130 or eight members of the Lin family village at the foot of the North Mountain were buried alive in a cave thousands of years ago? Which city lord was responsible for that?"

She remembered that Lin Huofeng mentioned to her back then that Liniang's father was the old castellan back then, and it was this frenzied old castellan who buried the innocent people of Linjiazhuang alive in the Beishan cave for the magic spar.

Such a person is also worthy of being a city lord?Also worthy of leaving a name in "City History"?

Don't let her know which city lord he is!Otherwise, she would have to cut out his name from "City History"!

Guanshi Xu replied: "The lower officials do know about this history. The lord of the city was named Min, and there is no record of him in the history of the city."

She was a little unhappy when she heard the words, and her tone was a little cold:
"Don't play around like this! This so-called "City History" is just to praise the officials? It only remembers the great achievements and not the scandals and bad things? How can this kind of false and incomplete records be handed down? How can we convince the common people?"

Xu Guanshi's unchanged face for thousands of years was still unmoved, but he bowed to her and said:

"What your lord said is very true! Please wait a moment, my lord!"

After speaking, he turned and left the study.

"..."

This is gone?The question has not been clarified yet, what kind of thing is escaping?

Thinking of what happened to Lin Huofeng, she was full of resentment at this moment, but also depressed with nowhere to vent her anger.

With a sigh, he looked at the Santo Token that he had been playing with in his hand.

The gold medal, which was about the size of her palm, felt very comfortable in her hand, as if the Token of the Lord of the City was forged according to her palm.

On the front, there are three large characters of the City Lord Order, and on the back, there is a miniature version of the colorful city scene of Luohuacheng.The painter is amazing and the workmanship is exquisite.

It's just that it is obviously made for a very long time, and after dozens of city lords' hands, the handwriting pattern on the city lord's order has become somewhat blurred.

Holding up the sign, she vaguely saw the word "Heaven" engraved on the back of the sign under the city view.

Squinting his eyes to identify carefully, Manager Xu has already walked in with a book in his hand.

She put down the sign in her hand and looked at the book that Manager Xu placed in front of her, but there was no title.

Looking at Guanshi Xu suspiciously, Guanshi Xu said, "You can find all your doubts from this book."

Then she pointed to the City Lord Order in her hand and said: "Luohua City has existed since ancient times, if one traces its historical origin, there are countless successive City Lords.

However, the Luohua City recorded in the existing city history was the first city lord who was recognized by the people thousands of years ago and was re-established after breaking the original rules and order.

The first city lord of Xincheng created the city lord order, established the Dongshan city lord's mansion, and finally sacrificed himself for the benefit of the people...

The city lord named Min mentioned by your lord just now was the last old city lord who was overthrown by the first city lord after the establishment of the new city, so there is no record in the current city history. "

"Then why not record the deeds of the first city lord in the city history?" She was surprised.
