After the rat-eyed man made such a fuss, the other guests in the teahouse no longer wanted to continue the dragon gate formation and left one after another.

The tea waiter next to him saw this and was anxious in his heart. But there is no way.

Guests come and go, that is a person's freedom and cannot be forced.

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

Although it is said that the New Deal District has a special status in Chengdu County, according to the rat-eyed man, it is the Gu family and the Wu family who are in charge this time. What if there is a fight and it affects this place?

You must know that guns and cannons are not very good at seeing, and a random miss of the 'Fire Dragon Out of the Water' could kill them.

Although this kind of chaos is unlikely to happen, in this case, where would anyone be willing to come out for tea?

As a result, the store's business will definitely be affected, and the result will naturally be a sharp drop in income.

Thinking of this, the tea waiter who had a prosthetic arm stopped soliciting customers and sat next to the stove with his head lowered, sighing.

"This is Chengdu Prefecture, one of the richest places in the empire. How could it suddenly become such a mess? That brat at home is still waiting for me to make money to buy him a new leg."

"The people's resentment is boiling, the people's resentment is boiling, my lord!"

Huang Yaozong shouted softly, but the next moment his expression showed a trace of regret, "It's a pity that the real source of the trouble was not targeted."

The old man next to him still had a calm smile on his face, and he slowly said, "If you want to do something well, you must know beforehand what is natural for you, so that you are not afraid and plan for it slowly."

"If you want a great fire to start a prairie fire, you must first lay out a good supply of dry firewood. If there are more conflicts like this between the Gu and Wu families, the people's hearts will naturally be filled with fire points."

In the eyes of the outside world, this magistrate of Chengdu Prefecture, who has done nothing in the world, spoke clearly and convincingly, "When the time comes, we will point out the root cause of all this. When the people's hearts are like water, they may not be able to overthrow this towering Taoist gate!"

"Your Excellency, you are wise! Once the territories in the hands of these silverfish are taken back, another saint will surely be born in our Confucian religion!"

Huang Yaozong's eyes were wild. If he hadn't considered that this was a teahouse, he would have raised his arms and shouted.

In contrast, the old man seemed a little extra calm.

He slowly cooled the turbid tea soup and drank it together with the inferior tea leaves floating on it.

"Whether a saint is a saint or not is not something I, a small county magistrate, should consider. But if you want to be quiet and do nothing, then you should live in seclusion in the mountains. If you want to spread your faith, then work hard to educate people. To govern the world, we still have to leave it to the right person. people."

"The dispute over sequence should not become a suffering for the people. Nor should the people be reduced to nourishment for those who follow the sequence."

Huang Yaozong looked solemn. Regardless of the fact that there were still some tea guests around him who had not dispersed, he stood up and bowed to the old man.

“Students are taught.”

"Sit down, sit down, where did you learn these rotten virtues?"

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 it go. Otherwise, if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will be troublesome."

"Do they have the guts?" Huang Yaozong looked stunned. "If they really dare to open fire within the city limits and harm civilians, I'm afraid the masters over at Jinling won't let them go."

"That's not necessarily the case! For Gu Xi and Wu Gong, missing this recommendation opportunity not only means losing an opportunity to become an official, but also losing the face of their masters."

The old man sneered: "By then, they may not even be able to keep their current positions."

Huang Yaozong suddenly understood and said anxiously: "Then do you want to say hello to the two families in advance and set the rules?"

"Do you want to imitate those idiots in Mianzhou County?"

The old man glanced at Huang Yaozong and said, "A few slices of brain tissue from the No. 1 Scholar can make them look like that. When it comes to the recommendation, do you think the so-called rules still restrict them?"

Huang Yaozong laughed dryly, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Then why don't we report it to the prefect's Yamen and ask them to dispatch guards from other counties to support us?"

"It's too late. The inspection team will arrive at this time tomorrow. Besides, those cowards will only add to the cake, but won't help when it's time. They definitely don't want to offend the Gu and Wu families at this time, and will only sit on the fence and watch."

Huang Yaozong smiled bitterly and said, "Then what should we do?"

"What to do? It's very simple." The old man smiled slightly, "Although we are not helping each other, we didn't say we can't add insult to injury."

"To add insult to injury?"

The county lieutenant, who had little official experience, thought about these four words carefully, always feeling like he was reading something, but he still failed to grasp the key point.

This paradoxical feeling was particularly torturous. Huang Yaozong couldn't help but said: "This subordinate is stupid, please make it clear."

The old man who was feasting on the tea on the table showed a hateful expression when he heard this. He poked Huang Yaozong's forehead with a finger and cursed angrily:

"Are you a fucking idiot? You've already said this and you still don't understand!"

The cake crumbs spurted out from the old man's mouth splashed in Huang Yaozong's face, and a few pieces even flew in from his collar, but he still did not dare to move and accepted the old man's scolding honestly.

"You don't even understand the literal meaning of adding insult to injury? We will help whoever has the advantage, and we will step on whoever is at a disadvantage!"

Perhaps Huang Yaozong's expression was too pitiful. The old man retracted his finger, wiped his mouth, and patiently explained:

"We must take the initiative in the situation and seize the opportunity to crush them directly without giving them a chance to gamble. 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 seize this opportunity?"

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

"This time Gu Xi killed the two red-shirted slaves. It was such a shame and humiliation. Logically speaking, given Wu Gong's temperament, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started doing it."

"But now he has changed from his normal state and is still holding back. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster."

The old man reached out and dipped his hand in some tea, then slowly wrote the word "Wu" on the table.

"I'm afraid Wu Gong has something in his hand that is enough to win, and he wants to wait for a fatal blow in front of the inspection team."

The old man squinted his eyes and said slowly: "What I'm worried about now is whether the things in his hands will give some unscrupulous people a chance to affect my important affairs."

Huang Yaozong wondered: "Is it the Taoist sect? It shouldn't be. Aren't they the ones who most want to see a peaceful ending to the matter?"

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

The old man's pupils were deep, like a deep stream with no bottom.
