Gongsun Long could be said to be the most desperate at this time. He originally wanted to rely on his knowledge to assist Li Baiyi and reluctantly stay with Li Baiyi.
But I didn't expect that Li Baiyi was so capable. Even without him as the chief clerk, he was still fully capable of doing the county government's work.
...
In the private room of the tea house, Wang Xuanfeng drank the cup of tea in front of him in one gulp and said with great joy.
"My dear concubine, I am really in high spirits during happy events. Now I can't wait to set aside the time to go to court tomorrow morning."
"This way I can see those guys' ashen faces earlier."
"I guess they would never have thought that not only could Li Baiyi take first place in Wen Dou, but he is also so good at solving cases now."
Mr. Xi couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty, they may not have thought of it, but there should be a way to deal with it, so that Your Majesty won't laugh at it."
Wang Xuanfeng sneered: "They never expected that Li Baiyi could be so versatile."
Xi Guiren thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something important, and said: "Your Majesty, if everything goes well here, Prime Minister Guo will probably come back. With his ability, it is impossible not to see your plan."
"Will he secretly sabotage your ideas? With his prestige and influence among officials, I'm afraid it won't be difficult to do so."
When Wang Xuanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but gasped: "What you said reminds me that I can't ignore this old guy."
Wang Xuanfeng wandered back and forth in the box, feeling a little anxious.
"This old guy is really a scourge, why doesn't he die outside?"
Wang Xuanfeng turned around twice and suddenly stood still with a smile on his face. Concubine Xi was immediately delighted: "Your Majesty, does he have an idea?"
Wang Xuanfeng nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I have thought of a way. Since this old guy will do bad things when he comes back, just stop him outside."
As he said that, he looked at Concubine Xi again and said with a wry smile: "We discussed this matter before, but I actually forgot. I have prepared a shadow army and are ready to go."
As he spoke, he shouted toward the outside: "Old Cao, come in."
In just a moment, Eunuch Cao walked in from the outside. Wang Xuanfeng said: "Hurry up and let that team of shadow troops set off. Stop him outside at all costs."
"At least stop me for two months, so that I can have time to deal with those ministers."
Eunuch Cao immediately bowed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and give the order right now."
Concubine Xi frowned and said: "But Your Majesty, if the Shadow Army is allowed to take action, Prime Minister Guo will definitely notice it, which will cause other hidden dangers."
Wang Xuanfeng smiled and shook his head and said: "It won't cause any hidden dangers. This batch of shadow troops were trained using a completely new method, and Prime Minister Guo didn't know about it."
"By the time he reacts later, it will all be settled."
At the same time, in the restaurant box opposite, a figure quietly closed the window of the box and said to the people around him.
"No wonder the martial law has been secretly enforced here. It turns out Emperor Xuanfeng of Huai'an has arrived."
The middle-aged man's expression was somewhat gloomy.
A young man next to him snorted coldly and said, "How about killing Emperor Huai'an directly and causing chaos in the world of Dakun? Wouldn't it be fun?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "No, our Fengmanlou is operating normally now, and the owner does not need the world to be in chaos."
"Who would let go of a good life? Only when life is difficult will they think about fishing in troubled waters and risking their lives."
But the young man shook his head and didn't take it seriously: "There are a lot of abnormal people in this world."
The middle-aged man glanced at the others and said, "We came here this time just to kill Li Baiyi. Others don't have to think so much."
"Then, after killing Li Baiyi, will the poster be able to let me return to the world?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still said patiently: "This is natural, but there is nothing wrong with our Fengmanlou."
"The poster's power can protect you. If you return to the world, you don't know how many dangers you will encounter."
But the young man smiled: "Even if I encounter danger, then I am willing."
As he spoke, he opened the window and looked at the figure below: "It's a pity that such a capable person will die in our hands today."
"To be precise, he died in my hands."
The middle-aged man next to him said: "Isn't this exactly what you want, to kill such so-called geniuses?"
But the young man shook his head and said: "What I want is to live freely in the world, not to become someone else's slave."
"If the original poster hadn't raised me up, I wouldn't have served him for three years."
"In the past three years, I have compensated him for his upbringing. For the remaining days, I want to go on my own."
...
In a private room, Li Anan's eyes were full of charm, looking at Li Baiyi downstairs.
"This Li Baiyi is really impressive."
"But, if you want to deal with such a smart person, you can't use ordinary methods, otherwise, he will be able to see through it at a glance."
Li Anan said helplessly.
The girl beside her smiled and said, "Miss, if the ordinary methods don't work, then we can just use unusual methods."
Li Anan was stunned for a moment and said: "It's not ordinary, why is it unusual?"
Nannan looked Li An'an up and down and said with a smile: "Miss, you are very beautiful. If you just move your fingers a little, won't he fall under your skirt?"
When Li Anan heard this, he was so angry that he patted her hand lightly: "What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing."
"If word spreads, how can I show my face in front of others?"
Nannan smiled and said: "Miss, we are just hinting, we are not really going to sacrifice your appearance."
"When the goal is achieved, we will give him a disclaimer. Anyway, we have never promised him anything."
Li An'an thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded: "What you said makes sense, so I'll do what you said."
At this time, Gongsun Long was a little stunned. Li Baiyi's performance simply shocked him.
He stood up and wanted to ask Li Baiyi to resign, saying: "Master Li, I, Gongsun Long, am really lucky to be able to see your grace."
"Although I will be fired soon, I have no complaints."
"This huge contribution to the county is left to you, sir. It's time for me to leave."
Li Baiyi stopped him and said with a smile: "Master Gongsun, what are you doing?"
