Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Gu swallowed the apple in his mouth, wiped it on his mouth with his hand, wiped it on his clothes, and said: "It's very simple. First, give Brother Wang a nicer title, such as City Lord. A distinguished guest of the government or something, let the news out, saying that the battle between Brother Wang and Qing Xixike was just a simple discussion, nothing serious. The previous rumors can be forgotten, but if there are any more gossips, they will be severely punished. Again. One more thing, as long as you report those who gossip, you will be rewarded. As for the specific rewards and punishments, I don’t know. City Lord Li has to think about it carefully before making a decision."
Li Jingshuang suddenly realized, "This method is good. My little brother is worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Immortal. He has such a bright mind."
Zaixi raised his eyebrows slightly, but made no move.
Wang Xizhou frowned and hesitated, "This method is extremely easy to provoke internal strife among the people, causing them to be suspicious of each other and divided. Will they be inferior?"
Bai Gu didn't care, "I used to be a low-income person who struggled at the bottom, and I don't know the tricks to play with people's hearts and control power. Those who know how to do it are just unscrupulous and underhanded methods, as long as I can survive." "
Wang Xizhou's expression changed, and then he said softly: "Xizhou doesn't mean that."
"What do you mean? I didn't say anything, and it didn't mean anything. There's no need to apologize."
Wang Xizhou pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Hua Xie was holding his chin with one hand, cracking melon seeds and watching happily, "Not interesting? It must be interesting!"
Bai Gu glanced at him and said, "Interesting?"
"Not interesting?" Hua Xie chuckled.
"It's quite interesting." Zaixi added abruptly.
"Are you interested?" Li Jingshuang couldn't help but join in the fun.
Zaixi immediately retorted, "What you said is meaningless."
"I find it interesting."
Hua Xie looked at Lehe with more enthusiasm, "It's really interesting."
"Is the word game fun? It's endless." Bai Gu rolled his eyes, "Let's settle the matter first, and then you can play as long as you want. Xiaoxiao hasn't eaten yet!"
Bai Xiaoxiao lowered his head and said nothing, but anyone who saw this pitiful and aggrieved look would feel pity for him.
Except Hua Xie.
Hua Xie twitched the corner of his mouth.
No meal?
Were the buns and the bowl of soy milk on the road just for decoration?
You two brothers and sisters are really capable of telling lies!
The acting is so similar!
Li Jingshuang chuckled, "I am old, but I still have a childlike innocence, which makes my little brother laugh."
Bai Gu took two bites of the apple in his hand and threw the remaining apple core into the trash can next to him. Then he wiped his face and said, "It's okay to have a laugh, but don't forget the serious business and waste everyone's time. "
Xian Xi held down the long hair on his forehead with two fingers and twirled it to the end, "So, is there any better way? I think this little brother Bai's idea is very good, and you don't need to think about it anymore. It’s law.”
Li Jingshuang looked at Wang Xizhou and saw that the latter was thinking hard, so he asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you have in mind?"
"Xizhou feels that this method will not work. This method can indeed solve the current rumors, but it will also make the people alienated and suspicious of each other. Over time, it will not be conducive to the unity of Tinder City in the future."
Li Jingshuang smiled.
Zaixi glanced sideways at Wang Xizhou, "Do you think the people of Huorong City are united now? Or do you think it is because of the strict city regulations that the people are divided?"
"I would like to invite you to give me some advice."
"The environment in Huorong City is notoriously bad and difficult to solve. In addition, the economic income of Huorong City was sluggish in the past, and the people had no money in their pockets. In order to make a living, it was easy for them to fight, resulting in more deaths and injuries. It is a common thing. As time goes by, the people become stubborn, disobedient to discipline, and work on their own, and the security in the city is chaotic. If we don't use some strong medicine, I am afraid that our City Lord Li's tenure will be the shortest in history. . Now after ten years of restraint and the replacement of the blood of the new generation, the situation in Tinder City is much better now. At least it is very cohesive in terms of resisting foreign enemies. But if you want to talk about what it was ten years ago, then it is the same as outside the city. The yellow sand is no different, it will disperse when the wind blows."
After listening to Xixi's story, Wang Xizhou sighed softly, "That's it."
Zaixi sneered and said: "To put it bluntly, many of the people in Tinder City are as mean as a donkey. The better you treat him, the more disobedient he will be, and he will even go further and resist you. If you whip him, he will Only then will I work hard and obey your orders."
Wang Xizhou frowned slightly.
What Xixi said makes sense. But the tone and attitude when he said this sentence made people feel uncomfortable.
It was as if he was a wealthy local man, swearing and driving the farmers under him, and not giving them food until they completed their work. The latter can only obey the orders, wave the whip in their hands, and hit the old donkey on the millstone or the cattle in the field to make them work harder and produce more food, so as to make themselves happy. Being able to get work done and put food on the table.
Caixi didn't have it, and he didn't bother to look at Wang Xizhou, but he could roughly guess the expression on his face at this time and what he was thinking in his heart.
How many words of this kind of scholar who is full of benevolence, righteousness, and ethics can really be put to the ground? Holding some unrealistic and childish ideas, full of passionate fantasies but unwilling to implement them even half a cent.
I think and express freely on bed, on paper, and at the wine table, and talk about my lofty ambitions and ambitions, but the reality is that I run into obstacles everywhere.
Do you really think that you are not appreciating your talent?
That’s because people don’t like you at all, don’t be stupid and a vase!
In Xixi's eyes, Wang Xizhou was this kind of person.
The kindness of women!
Zaixi was somewhat interested in Bai Gu.
Although Bai Gu is not very old, at least in some aspects and ideas, Bai Gu is much more mature than Wang Xizhou.
What Bai Gu said can really fall to the ground.
If not for anything else, Bai Gu's words, just stay alive, can explain everything.
What Bai Gu just said about luring him with benefits is actually not unreasonable. On the contrary, there is a lot of wisdom in it.
Bai Gu accurately grasped the selfish psychology of many people, and used this to make them betray each other, and exposed the weavers and spreaders of rumors, thereby catching them all.
Although the method is crude and a little childish when Aunt Bai tells it like that, it is indeed very practical. There is no need to implement it. You just go through it in your mind and you will know that it works well.
He has been in Tinder City for several years. How could he not know the virtues of most of those people?
There is no need to make a nest, just throw the bait, and naturally there will be a large group of fish vying to bite the hook, which can't be shaken away.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was getting colder, Li Jingshuang looked at Hua Xie and asked, "Brother Hua Xie, what about you? What do you think of the solution to this matter?"
Hua Xie shook his head, "I do things as I like and don't follow the rules, so what I say and do are not very meaningful. Just ignore me."
Li Jingshuang looked at Bai Xiaoxiao again.
Just when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Bai Gu, "Xiao Xiao, she is still young, don't let her get involved."
Li Jingshuang nodded in agreement.
Li Jingshuang finally looked at Wang Xizhou, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Everyone basically agreed with the method Bai Gu just said. Although he resisted in his heart, he couldn't think of a better way or explain why, so he had to compromise: "Xizhou has no ideas at the moment."
There is no need to ask about Xixi. The meaning of the words he just said is already obvious. Why do you need to ask again?
He, Li Jingshuang, is not an idiot.
"In this case, let's finalize it. The current rumors among the people will be solved with benefits and inducements as Brother Bai said. As for the details of rewards and punishments for the specific orders, I will contact Xixi and the various bureaus in the government. After deliberation and decision, the final decision will probably be made the day after tomorrow. I will send someone to deliver a detailed order to the inn where you are staying. After reviewing it, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion directly to see me. Find it. He is also responsible for making decisions about the city and rewarding good and punishing evil."
Except for Bai Xiaoxiao, everyone else nodded.
"Now that the matter has been settled, why don't you guys give me a favor and stay for lunch?" Li Jingshuang smiled and extended the invitation.
"As long as it doesn't cause any trouble to the City Lord's Mansion." Wang Xizhou smiled slightly.
"Just more bowls and chopsticks, no trouble, no trouble." Li Jingshuang smiled and waved his hands, "It's a blessing for two Shanshui Masters and a Sword Immortal disciple to gather in my city lord's mansion. I couldn't ask for more."
Wang Xizhou nodded in agreement.
Bai Gu and the other three smiled happily.
I came here just for this meal, chatting and killing time!
It’s finally time to eat!
——————
"Are you guys really in such a hurry to leave?" Li Jingshuang's face was full of reluctance.
The carriage of Bai Gu and his party stopped outside the main city of Huorong City. Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie got off the carriage and were saying goodbye to Li Jingshuang.
But Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao didn't get out of the car for some unknown reason.
Wang Xizhou apologized: "The incident happened suddenly, so I have no choice but to apologize to City Lord Li."
"Okay, then I can't force you to stay. It's not convenient for Xixi to leave the City Lord's Mansion, so I'll do it for him and wish you a safe journey and all your wishes will come true." Li Jing said with his fists clasped.
Wang Xizhou also returned the favor and said: "I wish City Lord Li to realize his ambition as soon as possible and make Wanli Tinder City an oasis."
"Thank you."
"Farewell."
When Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie returned to the carriage, a voice sounded in the hearts of several people.
It's the sound of Xixi.
Talking to others with the voice of the heart is a method that can only be found in the extraordinary realm.
Wang Xizhou glanced back at a certain direction in the city, narrowed his eyes, then withdrew his gaze and walked into the carriage.
Hua Xie followed closely behind.
The whip was raised, the wheels were rolling, and Bai Gu and the others set off.
Li Jingshuang stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the carriage go further and further away until it turned into a black dot and was annihilated in the wind and sand.
like a statue.
