Shao Xi's arrangement was not only flawless, but also watertight.
Han Shaoguang and others saw how Shao Xi and Lao Wu had arranged everything so confidently. They really admired how they had so many ideas.
What originally seemed completely impossible was actually solved by them in such an understatement. Not only were they able to find the other party's whereabouts, but they also allowed the other party to jump into the trap themselves.
Han Shaoguang turned to Zheng Yuanxiu and said: "It seems that we brothers are still too young. Compared with Brother Shao's sophisticated methods, you and I are useless. From now on, we brothers must learn from Brother Shao and be more serious." It’s over.”
Zheng Yuanxiu also had a fanboy look on his face at this time, nodding his head and saying: "Yes, yes! When we were in Daliang, Kyoto, Brother Shao's actions were extraordinary, and we are still far behind! You should ask Brother Shao for advice."
Shao Xi waved his hands towards the two of them and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two should stop flattering us and arrange everything as soon as possible after dinner. The sooner the better.
"That Yan Song is a big hidden danger to Wanxian, we still have to get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise the caravan heading to the Western Region will come in two days.
"Old Wu and I must set off with them this time. If this matter is not resolved, we will not be relieved if we leave, so we must finish the matter before the caravan arrives."
Han Shaoguang didn't even eat after hearing what Shao Xi said.
He stood up and said to Shao Xi: "You guys can eat! I'll make arrangements right away. I'll post the notice first and hold a thank you banquet at Wanfu Restaurant at noon today.
"And I will also arrange for the government officials to beat gongs and drums in the city to build up momentum and ensure that the news spreads throughout the city. If Brother Shao needs any help, just ask him. Everything will be according to Brother Shao's plan."
Shao Xi thought that this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Since Han Shaoguang could handle the matter within one day, it would be better to hurry up.
So he didn't stop Han Shaoguang, but reminded him to be careful when building momentum and not to be too exaggerated, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion.
Han Shaoguang agreed, turned around and went to the front hall. These things are simple to say, but it is quite complicated to arrange them.
Zheng Yuanxiu, who stayed at this time, saw that Han Shaoguang had something to do, but he was still sitting here like an idler, so he looked at Shao Xi longingly.
"Brother Shao, what can I do? Don't leave me idle, otherwise I will appear too useless."
Shao Xixi was happy. Zheng Yuanxiu was the most funny one among the five of them. Although he was always teased by Han Shaoguang with some pranks, he and Han Shaoguang were still very active in doing things.
In the past, when they were asked to do something at Bailu Academy, the two of them never delayed or shied away from it.
Although their thoughts are relatively simple and their ideas are relatively simple, they are unambiguous in doing things. Basically, there will be no big mistakes in anything assigned to them.
So Shao Xi told Zheng Yuanxiu: "There is really something for you to do. The thing arranged for Shao Guang is to let Yan Song and his group know that I have come to Wan County, and the thing assigned to you is to let Yan Song know I thought we were here to visit Zhang Chong and his wife.
"So you will handle the matter of Lao Wu and I moving into Zhang Chong's home. As a fourth-rank official in the court, I came to Wanxian County. I did not live in the government office but had to live in the home of a head catcher. You and I As a local official, Shaoguang naturally had to make careful arrangements to show his respect and awe for me.
"Then this matter needs to be done with a lot of fanfare. It's not too much to make it too public. This way, Yan Song and his group can be sure that we live in Zhang Chong's home and lead them here.
"In addition, we don't know exactly how many people from Yan Song's group came to the city this time, so you and Zhang Chong need to arrange for your subordinates and agents to secretly investigate the outsiders who have stayed in the city for a long time recently. , if you find anyone suspicious, don’t say anything, just monitor secretly, and report in time if there is any abnormality.”
Shao Xi's arrangement was a chain of events. Not only did he want to spread the news of his arrival in Wanxian County through Han Shaoguang, but he also wanted to further let the other party know his specific whereabouts. He also chose a person who would make it easy for them to attack. Place to stay.
Everything seemed flamboyant but not deliberate, making the other party feel that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When Zheng Yuanxiu saw that Shao Xi had arranged a job for her, she couldn't sit still anymore. She raised her buttocks and ran out. When she reached the door, she turned around and ran back. She grabbed Zhang Chong and headed towards the front hall.
Shao Xi and Lao Wu sat there dumbfounded.
"Are these two boys okay?"
Old Wu curled his lips and said, "Ask me, who should I ask? Most probably they are enlightened, but that's fine. I hope they can use their brains more when encountering problems in the future."
At this time, Zhao Qiaoyun, who had been sitting silently, finally said to Shao Xi and Lao Wu: "The two benefactors must have misunderstood the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Although these two adults are still young, they have childlike innocence." They are not obliterated, but they all have an innocent heart.
"Since I came to Wanxian County, I have really devoted myself to serving the people without any selfish motives. Although sometimes I act a little rashly, the local people love the two adults very much. They all say that the two adults have no airs about being officials. They are both A good official who is both close to the people and for the people.
"My daughter's husband, Zhang Chong, is just a small catcher, but the two adults have never looked down on him. Instead, they get along like good friends. My daughter has never seen such an official. They are only young now, so they still invite two Please give them some time."
In fact, what Zhao Qiaoyun said was not wrong. Although Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu looked similar to Shao Xi on the surface, they were really young.
The reason why Shao Xi becomes an alien in everyone's eyes is that only Shao Xi himself knows best. His actual mental age is far more than eighteen years old, but thirty-eight years old.
How can the mind of a thirty-eight-year-old be compared to that of a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old?
It is not surprising that Shao Xi appears to be a bit cunning, scheming, and even scheming in the eyes of many people.
So after listening to Zhao Qiaoyun's words, Shao Xi understood very well that he could not ask everyone to be like him.
However, the officialdom is turbulent, and the two of them are not as calm and capable as Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan. If they don't grow up quickly, they will definitely suffer in the future.
It's a good thing that they are practicing in Wanxian now. This time, Yan Song's incident can also be used to make them understand that the struggle between people is by no means as simple as imagined.
In the real world, people are more of a competition between brains and hearts. We must let go of the illusions we had in school and truly face the dangers of reality.
They are still too young after all, just give them some time!
Shao Xi wants to establish his own power in the court in the future. He has this idea not because he is ambitious, but because he is pushed forward involuntarily.
He knew in his heart that relying on his own martial arts alone would be useless against the people he would deal with in the future. He must have the power to compete with them.
To establish your own power, you need to have trusted people who are close to you. Such people are actually not easy to find, and these friends in Bailu Academy are the best choices.
They trust and support each other. If everyone can occupy a pivotal position in the court in the future, then they will have a certain right to speak.
Shao Xi even has a long-term plan to use the students in his Yuyan Hall as reserve talents for the future. Only with the ability to protect themselves in the court can Shao Xi do what he wants to do and fight against those people.
So over the past year, Shao Xi has made friends, recruited talents, won people's hearts, and gathered as many useful people as possible around him whenever he had the chance.
He hoped that Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu could grow up and enter the court as soon as possible and become helpers that he could trust and rely on.
Shao Xi does not demand that they become all-rounders, but only hopes that they can be independent in the future.
"What Miss Zhao said is true. As a good friend, I should be considerate of them. Thank you Miss Zhao for reminding me! I may cause some trouble to Miss Zhao in the next few days.
"Not only do we have to disturb your home, but there may also be some risks, but please rest assured, Miss Zhao, we will definitely protect you and your wife.
"If Yan Song can be arrested and brought to justice again this time, he will never be allowed to escape easily again. This can be regarded as seeking justice for Mr. Zhao who was killed that year, but this time Miss Zhao will be burdened."
Zhao Qiaoyun stood up, bowed to Shao Xi and Old Wu, and said gratefully: "If it hadn't been for these two benefactors, not to mention seeking justice for my father, even my little girl would not have been able to escape from that devil's cave.
"Now that these two benefactors are willing to take action again to avenge my father and eliminate this harm for the people of Wanxian County, my daughter is very grateful, so why should I be bothered? I would like to thank my two benefactors again."
After saying that, Zhao Qiaoyun knelt down on his knees and bowed down.
Shao Xi quickly stood up and returned the courtesy, asking Zhao Qiaoyun to get up quickly. Old Wu answered and said: "Miss Zhao, there is no need to thank us. Originally, your Majesty should be the magistrate of Wanxian County. It is Yan Song's crime to harm the court officials." To be punished.
"The suffering that Miss Zhao suffered was also caused by this person. A year ago, the two of us failed to handle this matter smoothly. Now it is our duty to make some remedies. I only hope that from now on, Miss Zhao and the people of Wanxian To be able to find true peace.”
Lao Wu's words actually made Zhao Qiaoyun burst into tears. Pomegranate beside him hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and comforted Zhao Qiaoyun softly.
Shao Xi looked at the weak woman in front of him, and his heart was full of pity. She was supposed to be a young lady from the county magistrate's family, but instead she lost her father first, and then her fiancé, and these two close relatives both died in Yan Song's hands.
Thinking of Chu Yunhe, Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in his heart.
Yan Song, you really deserve to die!
