Chapter 119
After the mouse-eyed man made such a fuss, the other guests in the teahouse lost their mind to continue to fight, and left one by one.

The tea waiter next to him saw it and was anxious.But there is no way.

Visitors come and go, that is people's freedom and cannot be forced.

And to be honest, at this moment, even deep down in his heart, he was uneasy.

Although it is said that the Xinzheng District has a special status in Chengdu County, according to the mouse-eyed man, it was the Gu family and the Wu family who fought this time. What if there is a fight and it spreads here?
You must know that guns have no eyes, and if a "fire dragon comes out of water" misses casually, it may kill them.

Although such a chaotic situation is unlikely to happen, under such circumstances, where would anyone be willing to come out for tea?

In this way, the business of the store will definitely be affected, and the result will naturally be a sharp drop in their own income.

Thinking of this, the tea waiter who had replaced his prosthetic arm also lost the business of attracting customers, and sat down by the stove with his head down, sighing.

"This is Chengdu Mansion, one of the most affluent places in the empire. How could it suddenly become such a mess? The brat at home is still waiting for me to make money to change his leg."

"People's grievances are boiling, people's grievances are boiling, my lord!"

Huang Yaozong yelled softly, but a trace of regret appeared in his expression the next moment, "It's a pity that we didn't focus on the real source of the disaster."

The old man next to him still had a calm smile on his face, and slowly chanted, "If a husband wants to do a good job, he must know it for sure, so as not to be afraid, but slowly figure it out."

"If you want a big fire to start a prairie fire, you have to spread it full of dry firewood first. If there are more conflicts like this between the Gu and Wu families, the hearts of the people will naturally be full of fire."

In the eyes of the outside world, the magistrate of Chengdu prefecture, who is doing nothing in the world, speaks eloquently and loudly, "When the time comes, we will point out the root cause of all this. At that time, the hearts of the people will be like water, and it may not be impossible to overwhelm this lofty Taoist gate!"

"Your Excellency is wise! When the territory in the hands of these silverfish is taken back, another saint will surely be born in our Confucianism!"

Huang Yaozong's eyes were wild, if he hadn't taken into account that this is a teahouse, he would have raised his arms and shouted.

In contrast, the old man seemed rather calm.

He slowly blew on the cloudy tea soup, and drank it together with the low-quality tea leaves floating on it.

"Whether a saint is a saint or not is not something that I, a small county magistrate, should consider. But if you want to be quiet and do nothing, then you should retreat to the mountains. If you want to spread your faith, then you should do a good job. To rule the world, you still have to give it to the right people."

"The dispute over the order should not be the suffering of the people. The people should not be reduced to the nourishment of those who follow the order."

Huang Yaozong looked solemn, no matter there were still some tea drinkers beside him, he stood up and bowed to the old man till the end.

"Students are taught."

"Sit down, sit down, where did you learn all these corrupt virtues from?"

The old man smiled apologetically at the surprised eyes around him, "But having said that, although we chose to stand by and watch this time, we can't completely let go of it, or if there is someone who is eager to jump over the wall, it will be troublesome."

"They have the guts?" Huang Yaozong looked astonished. "If they really dare to open fire within the urban area and harm civilians, the main family in Jinling probably won't let them go."

"That's not necessarily the case! For Gu Xi and Wu Gong, if they missed this opportunity to be recommended, they would not only lose a chance to become an official, but also lose the face of their masters."

The old man sneered: "At that time, the two of them may not even be able to keep their current positions."

Huang Yaozong suddenly realized, and said anxiously: "Then, should we say hello to the two of them in advance and set the rules?"

"You want to learn from those idiots in Mianzhou County?"

The old man glanced at Huang Yaozong, "Several slices of Zhuangyuanlang's brain tissue can make them look like that. When it comes time to recommend them, do you think the so-called rules still restrict them?"

Huang Yaozong laughed dryly, showing embarrassment, "Then why don't you report it to the magistrate's office and ask them to send guards from other counties to come over for support?"

"It's too late. The investigation team will be here at this time tomorrow. Besides, those cowards will only add to the cake, not give them money in a timely manner. They definitely don't want to offend the Gu Wu family at this time, and will only sit on the fence."

Huang Yaozong smiled bitterly: "Then what should we do?"

"What should we do? It's very simple." The old man smiled slightly, "Although we don't help each other, we didn't say we can't make trouble."

"Fall into the hole?"

The county magistrate, who had little official experience, pondered these four words carefully, and always felt that he had tasted something, but he still failed to grasp the key point.

This paradoxical feeling is particularly tormenting, Huang Yaozong couldn't help but said: "This subordinate is dull, please tell me clearly."

Hearing this, the old man who was eating tea on the table showed an expression of hatred for iron, he popped out a finger to poke Huang Yaozong's forehead, and said angrily:
"Are you a fucking elm head? It's all said and done, you still don't understand!"

The cake crumbs sprayed from the old man's mouth splashed Huang Yaozong's face, and some pieces even flew into his collar, but he still didn't dare to move, and accepted the old man's reprimand honestly.

"You don't understand the literal meaning of throwing stones into trouble? We will help whoever has the upper hand, and we will step on whoever loses!"

Perhaps Huang Yaozong's expression was too pitiful, the old man withdrew his finger, wiped his mouth, and explained patiently:
"We must hold the initiative of the situation in our hands, seize the opportunity and step on it directly, and don't give them a chance to exchange cards. Without opponents, there will naturally be no possibility of fighting."

"But now we don't know what the chess pieces of the Gu and Wu families are. How should we grasp this opportunity?"

Huang Yaozong's words hit the point, and the old man fell into deep thought.

"This time Gu Xi killed those two red-shirted slaves. Logically speaking, with Wu Gong's temperament, Wu Gong would have already rolled up his sleeves and started doing this kind of shameful humiliation."

"But now that he's changed his normal routine, he's still holding back. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

The old man dipped his hand into a little tea and slowly wrote the word 'Wu' on the table.

"Wu Gong is probably holding something that is enough to win, and he wants to wait for a fatal blow in front of the inspection team."

The old man narrowed his eyes, and said in a slow and deep voice: "What I'm worried about now is whether those things in his hand will allow some ungrateful people to seize the opportunity and affect the old man's major affairs."

Huang Yaozong asked suspiciously: "Could it be Taoism? It shouldn't be, shouldn't they be the ones who most hope to see things end peacefully?"

"I'm afraid there are people inside the Taoist sect who want to shuffle the cards."

The old man's pupils are deep, like a bottomless stream.
