Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 75

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath. The movements at this moment were as solemn and profound as if he were absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. He tried to swallow the heavy sense of responsibility related to the lights of thousands of families, the country and the country into his chest, and then it fermented in his throat and finally condensed. into calm and powerful words, shockingly revealed like a boulder thrown into a lake.

The weight of this situation has long gone beyond the personal ups and downs of ordinary businessmen. It is more like an invisible steel needle, silently but powerfully piercing the bones of society, directly hitting the people's livelihood. The fundamental cornerstone of survival and reproduction.

This is not only a major event with wide implications and far-reaching consequences. Any attempt to block its progress or deliberately delay can be interpreted as a blatant challenge to the official decision-making authority, a blatant blasphemy to the court’s legal dignity, and even a violation of imperial power. A severe impact on the principle of supremacy and inviolability.

Anyone who dares to act rashly at this moment will inevitably be like digging his own burial place with his own hands, step by step into the boundless abyss of darkness, writhing in pain in endless distress, and doomed to never recover!
At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were shining like a burning torch, bright and sharp, just like a leopard that is ready to attack in the silent night and locks its prey. Its eyes are bright and focused, focusing on Shopkeeper Liu every step of the way. On the body.

His words were as hard and powerful as cast iron. Every note that burst out from between his lips and teeth seemed to carry thunderous power, reverberating sonorously in the air: "Shopkeeper Liu, are you determined to survive in this foggy and trapped world?" In the difficult predicament, he gritted his teeth every month and reluctantly gave up the five taels of silver that seemed insignificant but was actually a matter of life and death, leaving his family to struggle helplessly on the edge of poverty; or he made a wise decision and handed over the mere five taels of silver to In my hands, let me help you see the light from the clouds, help your shop business get out of trouble and regain its vitality, let gold and silver treasures gather like a torrent of rivers, and roll into your warm home?"

After a sharp and thorough analysis, Lin Xiaofeng deliberately slowed down the speed of his words, but this did not weaken his inner fortitude and determination. On the contrary, it made it like a diamond that has been tempered for thousands of times, shining more and more with the light of indestructible faith and reflecting the light of indestructible faith. The wisdom and edge of insight into the world and people's hearts. He walked towards Shopkeeper Liu step by step with steady and steady steps. His calm, calm yet pointed tone seemed to be able to cut through complicated puzzles and get to the essence of things. He asked slowly, and although his voice was calm, it contained a powerful intimidation: "Shopkeeper Liu, at this critical juncture that determines fate, can you please tell me with a candid heart, which evil force is unscrupulously doing this?" What about bullying you and squeezing your blood and sweat?"

At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu's state of mind was like a piece of broken rubble that had gone through many vicissitudes of life, weathered by wind and rain, carrying heavily all the cruel realities and contradictions and entanglements in the world, as if an invisible giant hand was exerting pressure on his heart from all directions. It plunged his mind into a state of chaos and confusion, just like the cold, sticky swamp in the middle of the night during the cold dew season, making it difficult to escape. In contrast, Lin Xiaofeng is like a weed that can survive and grow wantonly no matter what kind of harsh environment. He stands leisurely with his arms folded, with a playful yet firm smile on his face, quietly observing. Everything around. His eyes were like an extremely sharp sword, accurately piercing the shaky balance in Shopkeeper Liu's heart - on one side was the extreme fear of those lawless and criminal ruffians, on the other side was the fear of wealth and power That strong desire like a dream. However, Lin Xiaofeng was not eager to force Shopkeeper Liu to make an immediate choice. From Shopkeeper Liu's face, which was mixed with confusion and hesitation, he read the unique mark of a person who has been oppressed for a long time. The honed and dull defense mechanism seems to indicate that in critical moments of life and death, people can always find a way to relief and rebirth in the midst of suffering and struggle.

The social order at this moment is like a fence that has been in disrepair and dilapidated for a long time. The solidity and stability of the past have disappeared, and the prestige of the government has been almost exhausted. In this noble world of "serving the people" In the era when ideals have not yet penetrated deeply into the hearts of the people, those government servants in official uniforms only maintain a false tranquility on the surface. Their existence is like puppets on strings, empty and weak. What is particularly painful is that low-level vendors like Shopkeeper Liu are exploited and squeezed by local gangsters day after day and night after night like wild beasts gnawing at their marrow. Their suffering is like fine dust scattered on the vast land. Although they are as numerous as stars, they are so light that they are almost forgotten by the world. What is even more sad is that in this turbid world, the collusion between bureaucrats and gangsters is like a malignant tumor in the dark night, growing and spreading, and they work together.

However, in this dark and depressing atmosphere, a figure stands quietly, with a cold gaze that sees everything - he is Li Dexian, an iron-blooded man with an open mind and awe-inspiring justice, whose passion has not been cooled by the harshness of the world. Seeing Shopkeeper Liu's fearful and hesitant look, Li Dexian could no longer hold back the outpouring of anger in his heart. He took long, firm steps, as if the ground beneath his feet was trembling with his determination. The overwhelming indignation accumulated in his chest instantly turned into a thunderous roar: "Brother, are you still dragging your feet and hesitating? How can a few ruffians block our way forward? Do you think they can shake us?" Is this the peak of faith that we hold on to together?”

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu's expression suddenly changed unpredictably, just like the sudden change of the wind and clouds in the nine heavens, or like the ice condensed in winter suddenly melting when the warmth comes. He tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and finally squeezed out an awkward but resolute smile on his weathered face. The smile was like a lone goose singing alone on an autumn night, trembling and spreading its wings in the cold wind, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth. But it was as if he was tightly covered by an invisible big hand, and he couldn't speak, but in the end he didn't let a single word escape his lips. His inner world was turbulent, and he thought to himself: In terms of strength duels with real swords and guns, he could only look forward to it with dismay, but those ruffians who were like maggots on the tarsal bones were like filthy mud stained on the soles of shoes, no matter what No amount of struggle can completely cleanse it away. Even though they may control unfathomable power networks and flexible means behind the scenes, as long as they do not wantonly invade the peaceful lives of ordinary people, I still have the courage to face it calmly!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen into ice, and Lin Xiaofeng's patience was on the verge of collapse. His voice is deep and powerful, and every word is like a hammer hitting a rock. It is full of unswerving determination and reveals an irresistible decisiveness: "If Shopkeeper Liu is faced with a dilemma at this moment, he will Unable to make a decision, then we might as well find another good time to discuss this matter. Although today's negotiation on publicity expenses related to the livelihood of thousands of people has not been successful, the friendship between you and me is still as deep as ever. Now, this expense is still maintained The price is five taels of silver, but it will no longer be valid after today. After tomorrow, the price may need to be re-evaluated."

After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng grabbed Li Dexian's arm without hesitation, and the two figures moved like lightning, as fast as arrows leaving the string, and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people outside the door in the blink of an eye, leaving only The increasingly heavy figure of Shopkeeper Xia Liu was left alone to deal with the myriad of complicated entanglements and helplessness. When their figures cross the threshold, it symbolizes entering a new world full of unknown choices and challenges. Shopkeeper Liu, who stays behind the door, is still silently enduring the torrent of life as the surroundings gradually return to calm. With the ups and downs of fate, let the tide of life overflow the embankment of the soul.

At this life-and-death moment, shopkeeper Liu saw Lin Xiaofeng's figure about to disappear outside the door. A force of anger and determination erupted like a torrent, instantly filling his long-dried blood. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's flowing sleeves. The force was so strong that it seemed to solidify the persistence in his heart into substance. At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu's face instantly turned livid, like a bronze statue that had been eroded by wind and rain. His teeth were clenched, a resolute arc formed at the corner of his mouth, and an unwavering flame burned in his eyes, as if he had spent his whole life to achieve this. I was able to force out such powerful words from the depth of my throat: "Mr. Lin, every word of yours is like pearls falling on a jade plate, every word is like a pearl. The treasure book of making money given to our shop by two distinguished guests, for me, a humble person. For ordinary people, how can we ignore the past lightly? Even if I give up this seemingly insignificant life, I will defend this hard-won happiness to the death!" He beat his chest, which was not broad, hard, and the sound of the impact was Echoing in the small shop, it was like the beating of a war drum, shocking and vividly demonstrating the determination to fight against all odds and persevere. "That's all! For the sake of this deep friendship and respect for the way of a gentleman, I, Liu, am sincere and willing to make everything I know known to the world without reservation!"

In the deep folds behind this bustling market, three intertwined dark power groups have quietly sprouted. They are like vultures waiting for opportunities and greed, and they take turns to attack us small merchants who are struggling to survive day after day. Ruthless plunder. However, since outstanding figures like you and Mr. Lin stepped into this land, these three originally arrogant and domineering forces seem to have restrained themselves and have temporarily retreated to the dark corners of the alleys. However, the short-term peace did not last long. When they surfaced again and emerged in the market, they had completely changed. They formed a strange contract without words, dividing every inch of soil in the entire square into clear boundaries. , each occupying one side and controlling their respective territories. They methodically collect exorbitant taxes called "protection fees" according to the nature of the shops.

Among this mixed group of villains, the one at the bottom is a ruthless character called "Stinger". His character is just like his nickname, cold as ice, cruel and ruthless, and he arrives on time every month, just like the harvest waved in the hand of death. Sickle, appeared directly at the door of my narrow store, carrying out unscrupulous extortion; followed closely by the next level Qiao Shiyi, he is an unfathomable and cunning figure who specializes in restaurants with strong financial resources. and large-scale trading houses as targets for extracting wealth; and the one who is firmly at the top of this evil power pyramid is undoubtedly the leader of the gangsters, who is respectfully known as Ma Laosan. His sphere of influence covers almost all casinos in the entire city. The place with Fireworks and Willow Alley can be said to be unique and dominating, unmatched by anyone.

Shopkeeper Liu is sitting in front of me, like a stone sculpture that has experienced many vicissitudes of life. His facial muscles become more and more tense as he reveals the past. His face, which has been darkened and crisscrossed by life, is like a silent history. It is a long scroll, and each deep wrinkle is engraved with a series of bitter stories that are difficult to let go. "Thinking back on those past years, the imperial court once thundered and sent ruthless officials to clean up the dirt and ugliness in this land. However, just like the wasteland after the storm, even if the flames shot into the sky for a while, the gang of villains were burned They were reduced to ashes, but in just a few days, they were like grass and trees after a fire, tenaciously breaking out of the ground and reborn through the dark corners and cracks of the city. Their vitality was astonishingly strong. Day after day, year after year, The common people finally understood a cold fact. These evildoers are like maggots attached to the bones and refuse to leave. Although they are deeply harmed and hate them deeply, they are unable to eradicate them. So in despair and helplessness In the web they have woven, people can only grit their teeth, endure their arrogant and domineering behavior, and let them run rampant in the streets."

At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes were wandering slowly among the old and mottled furniture in the store. The glance contained the incomparable sadness and desolation of the passing years, just like a faded picture that has been washed away by time. What is outlined in the painting is the difficulty and perseverance of life. He continued to talk, his words mixed with the heavy texture of historical dust, "Just like this day after day, year after year, the common people in the street understood the wisdom of survival in silence, and deep in their eyes , fear surges like an undercurrent, but at the same time, perseverance is like the roots of an old tree, deeply rooted in the depths of the soul, just like those old stone roads that have been baptized by countless winds and frosts, and are covered with trauma on the surface but are still standing, carrying the The extremely heavy steps of life, step by step, tenaciously extend forward."

Shopkeeper Liu clenched his hands into fists, beads of sweat oozing out between his fingers. His deep eyes were locked on Lin Xiaofeng expectantly, as if searching for the fire that illuminates the darkness. His emotions fluctuated violently. He was full of eager expectations, but could not hide his inner despair: "Mr. Lin, do you know that in the hearts of ordinary people like us, you are the chivalrous messenger who brings justice. Today, I sincerely ask you to do this." An impartial and selfless heart, uphold justice for us and dispel the gloom that has shrouded the streets and lanes. I still have elderly, frail and sick parents in my family who need support urgently, and there are still children who are still young and need to be fed. The whole family depends on them for their lives. Everything is tied to this little shop. For this reason, I sincerely pray to you to lend a helping hand and save us from the misery of life, so that we can breathe and find the long-lost peace and dignity!"

Lin Xiaofeng, with an ordinary name, stepped into the fireworks-filled land of North Langfang with the aura of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He never expected that his arrival would be like a stone thrown into a calm pond, causing waves, and thus becoming a key force in changing this land. Those idle and domineering local gangsters in the past had to change their lives under his influence. They were forced to turn from idle street gangsters to some kind of standardized career path. This series of unexpected changes made Lin Xiaofeng both surprised and full of firm determination deep in his heart.

When he stood in front of Shopkeeper Liu, staring at the face that was engraved with the vicissitudes of time and full of melancholy, the sympathy and determination in his heart surged like spring water. Shopkeeper Liu's eyes are full of the hardships and helplessness of life, as if carrying the heavy past of the entire North Langfang. Lin Xiaofeng's voice was deep and powerful, like the spring breeze blowing, taking away the gloom in Shopkeeper Liu's heart: "Shopkeeper Liu, there is no need to worry too much. You see, all the changes that have taken place in this place in recent days are all due to Mr. Li's arrival. He is like coming out of dawn. The blue sky and white sun, with its openness and fairness, bring order and rules to this chaotic world."

He continued to speak, his words were like a hammer hitting nails, and every word was ringing: "As long as Mr. Li shows his fists, the arrogance of those ruffians will be instantly shattered, and soon they will disappear quietly like the dewdrops in the morning. . From now on, if any ignorant fanatics dare to harass and extort again, you don’t have to do it yourself, just go to the Yamen directly. We will be your strong backing, firmly defend your legitimate rights and interests, and ensure that fair and strict laws are implemented. .”

In the process of intertwining these conversations, Lin Xiaofeng's words increasingly showed rock-like hardness and determination, and the power contained in them was beyond doubt. At this moment, the corner of his mouth gently raised an intriguing smile, and his words were mixed between true and false: "In that case, let's go through this month's 'security fee' delivery ceremony now." These words were like pebbles thrown into a quiet lake. , causing ripples. Shopkeeper Liu's face, which had been baptized by wind and rain, was instantly covered with a subtle look of confusion. He silently wondered in his heart: How could this young junior be so good at asking for property, even better than those who were mixed up in the world? Are the gangsters in the market more calm?
Although shopkeeper Liu's heart was stirred by this indescribable strange feeling, he was a man who had experienced storms after all. After a brief hesitation, his trembling hands slowly opened the drawer and took out a heavy There were five taels of silver, and the silver light shone, reflecting the ravines on his face. He pinched it carefully with two fingers, as if holding the pressure of a mountain, and respectfully handed it to Lin Xiaofeng.

With a gentle squeeze of Lin Xiaofeng's hand, the five taels of heavy silver ingots instantly slipped through an arc in front of others, like a hidden magician. With a subtle flip of his wrist, the silver ingots mysteriously disappeared in his palm, as if Never appeared in general. A faint, intelligent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile was as sharp and cunning as a blade. He said loudly: "What a clever deal! Since I have accepted your sincerity, naturally I want to I will go all out to help you deliver the news. But you must understand that the most important thing in our industry is precision and speed. Every transaction must be concentrated and cannot be careless. Come on, please tell me in detail, what is it? Which rare product should stand out in this bustling market? Or..."

Shopkeeper Liu heard the sound, his eyes flickered, and he quietly looked around his inconspicuous store. A shy yet sincere smile appeared on his face, and his words revealed a bit of helplessness and expectation: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin , in fact, what I want to ask this time is not to promote a certain item, but to help me spread the reputation of this small shop in this bustling market and let more people know about it. its existence."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and burst out into a burst of laughter that resounded through the sky. The laughter was full of pride and freedom. Immediately afterwards, he slapped Shopkeeper Liu on the shoulder with a powerful palm. The strength of the palm was like sealing an invisible contract. He praised: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really a meticulous businessman. You have such consideration. It's unique. This matter is nothing more than a trivial matter to us. Just wait for the good news and see how we can pave a bustling road for you."

At the end of this conversation, Lin Xiaofeng joined hands with Li Dexian. They stepped out of the store's threshold side by side, and their figures quickly merged into the endless flow of people in the streets. At this moment, a long-lost joy quietly grew in Li Dexian's heart. In recent days, he has led the environmental protection team to restore order in the city. The surrounding neighbors are looking at him, with awe and expectation increasingly intertwined. However, behind this joy, like a painting that has not yet been completely finished, there is a gap that cannot be filled in his heart - what he pursues is not the satisfaction and glory brought by daily labor, but a journey that can Practical combat that truly tests and improves one's courage and decision-making ability. Even if the opponent is just a mob on the street, such experience can be tempered into real gold in the flames of war. An impulse like a heat wave surged in his chest. His eyes were shining like burning stars. He asked Lin Xiaofeng in a firm and passionate tone: "Old Lin, do you think it is the right thing for us to do now?" Is this the critical moment to show off your ambitions?"

Lin Xiaofeng sat there, facing Li Dexian's anxious urging, but did not answer immediately. He sat there, like a quiet stone, like a wisp of breeze on the lake, gently blowing without causing any ripples. He turned his head slightly, and his resolute face looked even more determined in the afterglow of the setting sun. His eyes were deep and bright, like a deep pool in the middle of the night, reflecting Li Dexian's anxious and expectant expression.

Li Dexian looked at him, feeling an unspeakable emotion in his heart. He knew that Lin Xiaofeng was the kind of person who thought deeply and would not make decisions easily. He sat there as if waiting for something or thinking about something. Lin Xiaofeng spoke slowly, with a calm and powerful voice: "Dexian, why are you in such a hurry?" His voice was like a stone that had been tempered by the years, calm and philosophical. He paused slightly and continued: "First of all, do you know exactly where those people are hiding? Furthermore, has the information provided by Shopkeeper Liu been carefully screened? Are you sure of its reliability? ?”

Li Dexian was speechless by his question. He lowered his head, feeling frustrated. He knew that he was too impatient and did not consider these issues. He raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude. He knew that Lin Xiaofeng was reminding him that he should not be hasty in doing things, but must be thoughtful and down-to-earth.

Lin Xiaofeng continued: "We must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts when we act. It is like plowing a field. We need to walk more times, inquire more, and verify more, before we can reach the other side of the truth." His words were like a clear spring, nourishing Li Dexian. 's heart. He sat there like a wise man, using his wisdom and experience to guide Li Dexian to the right path.

When Li Dexian heard this, the layer of anxiety and urgency on his face disappeared like smoke, and was replaced by a sudden light and shadow, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the dark clouds in the night sky, illuminating the doubts deep in his heart. His eyes began to flow intelligently, like lake water full of profound meaning, reflecting the wisdom and teachings in Lin Xiaofeng's words. His nod was no longer a simple response, but every time he moved his jaw, Lin Xiaofeng's words were engraved under the texture of his tight skin and deeply imprinted in his heart. At this moment, every subtle expression change on Li Dexian's face is a silent ode to Lin Xiaofeng's wisdom.

So, shrouded in the light of sudden enlightenment, the two held hands, side by side, and stepped into the noisy and bustling market again. They are like two explorers, knocking on the shop doors one by one with countless stories and secrets hidden behind them. Each door opened is accompanied by the ups and downs of life and the various expressions of human nature. In the process of inquiry and verification, they showed extraordinary patience and an almost demanding and delicate observation. It was as if the world was magnified in their eyes, and every detail was carefully polished and clearly visible.

In the end, the information they obtained was completely consistent with what Shopkeeper Liu had said earlier. It was like an exquisite puzzle piece, every detail of which was unmistakable. This discovery not only gave people a deep respect for Shopkeeper Liu's unique vision and sharp insight, but also brought their investigation work to a new height.

However, even if the key clues have emerged, the road to the answer is not smooth and cannot be achieved overnight. They clearly realize that simply relying on impulse to bring those guilty people to justice and put them behind bars is not enough to completely solve the problem. The lessons of the past are like a mirror, reflecting the ruthless fact: even if there is wind, rain, and thunder, the bamboo shoots on the ground can still stubbornly pop up after the rain; the same is true for those sinful people, once the storm has passed, they will quickly And stubbornly resurrected, breeding evil again.

Therefore, they bear in mind that this matter is not a trivial matter and must be treated with caution, making decisions before acting, taking steps step by step, acting steadily, and not acting recklessly. Only through careful and detailed layout planning can the lesions be removed as accurately as a surgical operation, and potential crises can be eliminated from the root, thereby restoring clarity to the world, allowing justice to be demonstrated, and order to be restored.

At the same time, in the torrent of the times, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian, two ambitious figures, suddenly felt a heavier and more urgent sense of mission in their hearts. It is an exploration of unknown territory, an attempt to harness advertising, a rich mine that has yet to be tapped, in order to touch the core of the private economy and truly benefit those small merchants and hawkers who are struggling to survive. By increasing their income, it has quietly but profoundly rewritten the picture of life at the bottom of society. In this complex world where ideals intersect with reality, they embark on a more profound and sophisticated strategic journey together.

In that corner of the solemn and ancient Si Yamen, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian sat speechless, as if they were two silent stone statues immersed in the abyss of wisdom. There was an invisible game and tacit understanding between each other. Lin Xiaofeng's fingers lightly twisted the rice paper, which had turned yellow due to the traces of time. The densely packed words on the paper were like the bright stars in the night sky, weaving a map of intertwined wisdom. He cautiously pushed this work, which was the result of countless days and nights of hard thinking, to Li Dexian. His words were as steady as a rock, and every word was like beating on the drum of the future, deafening and enlightening: "Your Highness, This is a new round of strategic blueprint carefully conceived by me, please review it."

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were shining with determination, and his hand gently stroked the edge of the rice paper, as if touching the outline of the future world. When Li Dexian took over the yellowed blueprint, the same fiery determination emerged in his eyes. He carefully studied every word, as if he could foresee the coming storm of change. In this corner of the office under the dim light, a great plan related to people's livelihood and well-being quietly kicked off amidst such tranquility and power.

Li Dexian listened intently to Lin Xiaofeng's vivid and detailed explanation. The words were like gurgling water flowing into the valley of thoughts. The light in his eyes instantly condensed like a sword, penetrating the chaos and pointing straight to the sky. A smile that was intertwined with appreciation and surprise. Quietly blooming on his angular face: "Brother Lin, I never thought you had such an ingenious strategic plan hidden in your mind. Why didn't you reveal even half of it when you proposed to eliminate my group of brothers earlier? If you had known earlier You have a clever plan in mind, and all the concerns and worries I had before seem to be a bit too much now."

The name Lin Xiaofeng, under the current atmosphere, seemed to have the weight and depth of a mountain rock. Facing the complimentary glances from all directions, he did not show any elation, but instead showed an extraordinary indifference and calmness. He was neither impatient nor impatient, and his movements were just like a wise man leisurely waving a fallen leaf on a lonely boat on the bank of a quiet lake. Every subtle tremble of his slightly waving fingers contained boundless wisdom and careful planning.

"Your Highness, you may not have touched on this key node. This strategy that seems to kill two birds with one stone is actually like looking at flowers in the fog or catching the moon in the mirror. It is difficult to grasp its true appearance. Putting aside the economic benefits, just from the implementation level , the design and engraving of the advertising carriers carried by the environmental protection team members requires excellence in every process and costs a lot of money. Looking at the stacks of paper carrying commercial information, they all come from the accumulation of Yangqu County treasury. This chapter One step of action is an investment with no visible return, and its subsequent results are like a blind man groping for an elephant, difficult to predict. If this attempt fails to achieve the expected results, is His Highness ready to accept this heavy responsibility? What are the possible negative consequences of the investment?”

Li Dexian sat in the whirlpool of these words. His usually calm face was now like ripples on the lake in the evening dyed red by the sunset. A faint blush crept up his cheeks. It was a color of embarrassment and helplessness. The shade is appropriate, and it is appropriately embellished on his tough and slightly vicissitudes of face. Faced with Lin Xiaofeng's sharp but penetrating analysis, he could only forcefully smile. The bitter taste contained in this smile clearly pierced the most sensitive and fragile part of his heart.

"Your opinion is indeed reasonable. I have inadvertently omitted such a crucial link. I am really ashamed." Li Dexian was about to delve deeper and explore the specific strategy to deal with the local ruffians, but unexpectedly Lin Xiaofeng's expression was like a summer day. The wind and cloud suddenly changed suddenly, from light to dark in an instant, as if a thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the clear sky, hitting people's hearts directly. His originally calm face was instantly filled with anxiety and tension, and his body was as stiff as a sculpture, as if an invisible giant hand was tightly strangling his throat, leaving him speechless.

"Oh, it's really terrible!" Lin Xiaofeng slapped his forehead violently, and there seemed to be deep self-blame and regret for himself under that palm. His face was full of pain, as if he was bearing a heavy burden, "Recently, trivial matters With so many things happening, I actually forgot all about a major event that could affect the fate of the country - I haven't submitted that crucial memorial to the emperor yet! This is a major dereliction of duty as a minister, and it is a crime worthy of death! "

Hearing this, Li Dexian's heartstrings suddenly tightened, and an indescribable sense of urgency came over him. He hurriedly asked what big event had happened, and Lin Xiaofeng couldn't wait to jump up from his seat when he responded, speaking as fast as a meteor: "Your Highness, please deal with other important matters first, and I will leave immediately to prepare the memorial!" Before he fell, the figure was already a few steps away and walked away quickly, leaving Li Dexian sitting there alone, full of doubts.

Li Dexian looked at Lin Xiaofeng's hurried away figure, and couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart. When he went to court in the past, he had never seen this mature and prudent old Lin be so anxious about the court report. Today's move is really rare, and there must be something wrong with it. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was thinking a lot. The scene in front of him was like an unsolved novel, inviting exploration.

············································· ·················
In the solemn and unfathomable Qianqing Palace, the night was like splashing thick ink. Although it quietly soaked the entire palace, it failed to swallow up the persistent burning candle in front of Emperor Jingjiang's throne. This cluster of flames danced alone, blooming in the darkness, illuminating a seemingly endless sea of ​​memorials in front of us. They were arranged neatly and orderly, like peaks stretching across the sky, silently and solemnly carrying the intertwined longitude and latitude of the empire, and the thousands of memorials. A thread of fate.

Wang Jingwen, the rock-solid and unswerving personal attendant, was like an eternally running and silent ancient bronze bell. He always stood beside Emperor Jingjiang, sensing every subtle change in the air accurately and delicately. Whenever the fragrance of tea in the cup faded by half a minute, he would quickly replace it with a freshly brewed pot of hot tea. The dense and warm fragrance of tea was like catkin soothing the tired soul, gently brushing away Emperor Jingjiang's worries about national events. Tiredness under heavy pressure.

Emperor Jingjiang was immersed wholeheartedly in this magnificent torrent of state affairs. The cinnabar pen in his hand was like a sharp sword in the storm. He carved decisions on the thick memorials quickly and forcefully. He reviewed the annotations day and night until late at night, and the stars were silent. All over the sky. The hot tea mist wrapped around his fingers that were holding the pen tightly, like the sand of time flowing through his fingertips. After three alternations, he reluctantly put down the pen full of sincere blood and wise strategy. Pen. At this moment, he slightly stretched his body, which had become stiff after sitting for a long time. This series of seemingly natural and random movements, under the majestic royal dome, unconsciously revealed the deep marks of fatigue hidden behind the royal robe and golden crown.

Suddenly, Emperor Jingjiang's eyes seemed to be drawn by invisible memory clues, like a bolt of lightning that tore through the night. His eyes quickly evacuated from the memorial in front of him, and went straight to the desk documents piled up like mountains, and he began to write them one by one meticulously and eagerly. Browse and search. That focused and slightly anxious gaze profoundly depicts the inner responsibilities of a monarch who shoulders the heavy responsibilities of the world, as well as the endless concerns and worries for the country and the country. In this quiet and tense night, every memorial was like a mirror, reflecting his worried heart that never stopped for a moment.

However, as time passed and the investigation deepened step by step, the lines on Emperor Jingjiang's face gradually tightened. Behind those deep eyes, a hint of worry quietly condensed, spreading between his eyebrows like thick ink. His brows were tightly knitted into a heavy mountain. He whispered silently in his heart, revealing a deep confusion and unconcealable fear in his words, "How could such an important memorial disappear suddenly? This should never happen..."
