"I see that Mr. Zhongli is quite calm about the incident involving the death of the god."
Ningguang changed the topic, his smile remained gentle, but his eyes were fixed on Zhongli without relaxing at all.
"After all, this matter has nothing to do with me. At that time, the Rebirth Hall was only responsible for the emperor's invitation ceremony."
Zhong Li just glanced at Ning Guang with squinted eyes, put down the tea cup, and responded in an extremely frank manner.
"oh?"
The final note of Ningguang rose upward, and the Rugefang musician's fingertips slid angrily on the zither. The sharpness in her eyes clearly showed that the owner of these eyes was filled with evil spirits.
"But as far as I know, Mr. Zhongli, you had very close contacts with a certain executive officer of the Fools during the preparations for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and the temporary pass you provided during the martial law period in Liyue Port has been certified by the Department of General Affairs. It’s a forgery made by fools.”
Ningguang's tone was extremely serious as he mentioned the pass collected from the Hall of Rebirth, but Zhongli remained unfazed and even slightly raised the corner of his mouth in helplessness.
That guy Dadalia...in addition to the all-encompassing stuff, what else did he imitate?
"The Hall of Rebirth is the largest funeral place in Liyue, and the Fools often sacrifice their lives in martyrdom. It is not surprising that the two parties cooperate... As for these forged passes, I don't know anything about them."
As if he had anticipated Zhongli's words, Ningguang shook his head slowly, the smile on his lips getting wider.
"Haha... Liyue Port has always been a place that follows the law. I just hope that Mr. Zhongli will cooperate with the investigation. After all, several of my colleagues are skeptical of your position."
"Until we confirm that you are absolutely trustworthy, we can keep you in the General Affairs Department to cooperate with the investigation based on the "Temporary Security Order" that was just revised two days ago."
Zhongli was a person who could express his emotions and anger. When he heard Ning Guang's slightly threatening words, the first emotion that appeared was not anger, but surprise that ordinary people could not understand.
This Tianquan star's way of dealing with others is actually more decisive than he thought.
"But you didn't do that. Instead, you mentioned this matter to me in private, which proves that you still want to pursue something from me that cannot be obtained by questioning."
Zhongli held his chin in response, the golden light in his eyes gradually getting richer, and he seemed to have regained the indifference he was born with as a god.
"It saves effort to talk to smart people."
Ning Guang nodded, finally gave up the subtle temptation, and spoke directly:
"Thanks to Emperor Yanwang's planning during his lifetime, all losses to Liyue Port will be compensated by the Zhidong Kingdom. However, in the past few days, while negotiating with the envoys of the Fools, I noticed something strange."
"The fools seem to be afraid of something behind me. Regarding some of the bottom-line conditions I proposed, Andre, the manager of Northland Bank, didn't even ask his country for instructions, and he directly agreed..."
Ningguang's posture is still dignified. Although she is only a drop in the ocean in the torrent of time, she can gather the light of other stars with her firm and enterprising heart, and ride the jade pavilion up to the sky, almost on par with the gods.
"Even when the emperor is still on earth, the fools are still unscrupulously encroaching on Liyue's financial market, constantly annexing local banks in Liyue, and forcing the bank owners to sell off their property and commit suicide."
"After the emperor left, Mora production was completely suspended. It stands to reason that Beiguo Bank should continue to raise the deposit interest rate to induce the people of Liyue to deposit the last Mora in their pockets into Beiguo Bank, thereby withdrawing a large amount of cash, and then quickly exit The secondary market...but on the contrary, they immediately stopped expanding."
Ning Guang's voice was very soft and eloquent, but her eyes towards Zhong Li gradually softened.
After waking up from the dream that day, she already knew that the Emperor Yanwang was not dead. Looking at the historical precedents of the Lord God's leisurely travels in the world, and the cautious attitude of the Beiguo Bank, Ningguang guessed that the Emperor might have been transformed into a mortal, and he was in Liyue. From a certain corner, I watched this land silently.
If one day Ning Guang is relieved of the burden of this heavenly power, he may also linger in the prosperous world created by his own hands, asking about his own merits and demerits.
"I see, Lord Tianquan wants to know the reason why the Fools retreated...and because I have a close relationship with the Young Master of the Fools, I became the best person to ask."
Zhong Li showed a look of realization, but Ning Guang lowered his eyes and denied it.
"No, it's not difficult to guess why the Fools are retreating. I'm more interested in you, Mr. Zhongli."
"There have been rumors for a long time that Mr. Keqing from the Hall of Purity is a very knowledgeable man. I asked Baiwen to investigate, and the information I got is that you are very knowledgeable about antiques, calligraphy and painting, flowers, birds, wind and moon, and you know a lot about anecdotes. The depth of the commitment to the contract is far beyond what anyone can achieve.”
Ning Guang took a deep look at Zhong Li, as if he wanted to see through his elegant and handsome skin to see clearly his inner being.
"Although I wanted to make friends at that time, I didn't have a good chance. Moreover, the people in Liyue in this world still have a new love for luxury, so I still need to observe it."
"Until more information was gathered here, I had some guesses..."
Tianquanxing put down his crossed legs, sat upright, tapped his fingertips on the table, and detailed the information he knew about Zhongli.
"Based on the settlement of the tax bill of the Tomb of Life, Hutchison Office found that many antiques that had been lost in ancient times reappeared in the Hall of Death, and the reason for reporting was that they were found in the wild."
"Then there is your profound knowledge. Many histories and rumors that have been unsearchable, but you are able to keep them at home. There is also news from Wangshu Inn. It is said that you have a close relationship with the immortal at the top of the inn."
"And the joint action between you and His Majesty Harpas... the Jade Pavilion was destroyed, and the sales of Seven Star's industries this year will probably be in vain."
Speaking of sadness, even if he is as elegant and calm as condensed light, he can't help but feel depressed when he thinks of countless golden mobai flowing out from his eyes, but Zhongli has an ominous premonition, and a slight chill comes from behind.
He was wrong about this matter first. During the period of his death, Liyue Qixing was very anxious. Being in the whirlpool of multiple conflicts between immortals, common people, Munata and fools would never be easy, let alone sacrificing everything. The light of hard work.
But what's more important at this time is obviously another thing.
"I should call you Mr. Zhongli..."
Ningguang pursed her lips and looked at Zhongli's clear golden pupils. She felt that this feeling seemed familiar, and her troubled thoughts also drove her to ask the words that had been on her mind for a long time: "Is it still the Rock King..." …”
"Miss Ningguang!!"
Just when Ningguang stopped talking and was about to call out the emperor's name, he heard a bang and someone forcibly opened the door to the side hall from the outside. Zhongli's tense body also relaxed with the intruder. Came down and breathed a sigh of relief.
This guest's vest almost fell off! (End of chapter)
