Bai Zhi thought about it and said, "That's right. Even if you know the truth, no one will believe you. On the contrary, you are being hunted everywhere because you know the truth, right?"

Wu Yong snorted lightly.

"So you hid in a small fishing village. They all called you Wu Laizi. No one knew your real name."

Wu Yong hummed softly.

"You said that Chen Fu was already pregnant when she got married. Was it Yan Qin's fault?" Bai Zhi asked.

"He's such a beast, if it wasn't his child, how could he accept it!" Wu Yong said through gritted teeth.

"Um...Chen Fu...do you think she was deceived, or..." This question was a bit hurtful, and Bai Zhi really couldn't ask the question for a moment.

"Maybe I didn't know it at first, but I might have been taken advantage of later. But counting from the time when her child was born, when she tricked me into writing the article, she was already one month pregnant..." Wu Yong's voice gradually weakened.

"Then who benefited from this matter?" Bai Zhi asked.

"Shortly after I handed over my article, Yan Qi became the commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou Prefecture's government affairs. Oh, but these are just my guesses. Since then, I have been being hunted. In desperation, I can only hide among the homeless..."

Before Bai Zhi came, she only had a superficial understanding of the Qiongzhou government, and it was still difficult to know many inside stories. Now after Wu Yong's experience, it became a lot clearer, "What kind of official was Yan Qi before? His family has always been in Qiongzhou. Is it very powerful?"

"Indeed, but the governor Lin Ling is not an embroidered pillow." Wu Yong said seriously.

Bai Zhi had heard the name Lin Ling in Chenjing. Meng Ying praised this person highly, but talking about him gave her a headache. He was once a small county magistrate. He was able to reach this stage without the support of his family, and he did not choose to rely on the strength of the Zhuo family. He relied entirely on his own strength.

Bai Zhi became interested, sat on the high rockery, held up her chin and said, "Let's talk about what kind of person Lin Ling is."

Wu Yong glanced at Bai Zhi, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with joy. Somehow, as if she was swaying her emotions, he answered what she wanted to hear, "He is an excellent parent manager." , is the sky of Qiongzhou."

This was a high praise, and Bai Zhi listened quietly.

"Half of the thirty-two counties in Qiongzhou are now rich counties. Looking at the entire Chen Kingdom, no state or county can do this. But it was not like this twenty years ago. At that time, famine and epidemics continued in Qiongzhou year after year, and the people They were displaced and fled to other places. My father said that Qiongzhou at that time was almost like a ghost town, and people died of illness every day. It was Lin Ling who united the people to write a petition for ten thousand people, asking the court for a huge sum of money, and then braved the war. Crossing the border, he secretly purchased a large amount of medicinal materials from the Southern Barbarian Medicine King Valley, and then gathered hundreds of doctors who were not afraid of death to solve the plague that year."

"My father was the person who transported goods to Lin Ling at that time. He experienced the war. He said that Lin Ling knelt down and begged one by one for them. Fortunately, he did it. Since then, Lin Ling has become Qiongzhou has a god-like existence. In the past twenty years, Qiongzhou has completely changed. The older generation calls him Lin Xiangong, and some songs are still sung about him."

Bai Zhi suddenly felt admiration, but she was a little confused, "Then if that's the case, how could Lin Xiangong let the Yan family dominate? How could Zhuo Dang and the Yan family let him go?"

"Of course Zhuodang and the Yan family will not let him go, and as far as I know, Mei Gong from the north has visited him more than once. But I personally think that there are three reasons why Lin Xiangong can protect Qiongzhou's peace. One is Lin Xiangong. The Immortal Duke himself is deeply popular among the people and has a very high reputation. No one dares to touch him and can only win over him. If he is touched, the people of the thirty-two counties in Qiongzhou will turn the sky upside down!"

"Secondly, Qiongzhou is a territory belonging to His Majesty the Emperor himself. Although His Majesty himself has no rights, this fiefdom is not something that others can easily get. A large part of Qiongzhou's money goes directly into the treasury, and the Zhuo family can also get it from Get a little share of it.”

"The third most important thing is that Lin Xiangong himself is not used by any force. Qiongzhou is located in the southeast and is adjacent to Changqing City in the south. When climbing over the mountains of Changqing City, there are often thunderous roars. Many people speculate that, There was a large army. Changqing City belonged to the Wei family, so the Yan family could be so unscrupulous with the Yan family relying on them. Lin Xiangong never relied on any party, and all decisions were only for the people, but since he wanted to protect If the people are safe, they will naturally not dare to offend the Yan family who have a backer."

Bai Zhi pouted when she heard this, "Yes, having a backer is great. Although Lin Xiangong has control under his rule, if a large army invades the territory, the people's peaceful days will be just a dream."

So sad, so sad.

The worried Bai Zhi took out the weeds in the cracks of the rockery to vent her anger, "You said, if Lin Xianggong and the Zhuo family are to be enemies, is this possible? Look at those people in the Yan family, one or two, they are rampant and arrogant! "

Wu Yong heard this and got a glimpse of Bai Zhi's ambition. If she was really doing business, how could she think of making Lin Ling an enemy of the Zhuo family? From the beginning, she wanted to change the structure of Qiongzhou City.

Her ambitions matched up with her actions, which made Wu Yong suddenly feel relieved. He said in a deep voice: "The girl is wrong. What the girl thinks may be exactly what the immortal thinks. Who wants to suffer all the time? Where is the human restraint? Duke Immortal does not dare to seek refuge in the north, perhaps because of the geographical location and the general trend, but a power like this that does not attract anyone’s attention, maybe it is the rain that Duke Immortal Lin longs for!"

Wu Yong woke up the dreamer with a word, and Bai Zhi straightened up suddenly, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"

Bai Zhi turned to Wu Yong and said excitedly, "My Mr. Wu, since your article has been stolen, it means that your talent and learning are really good! Have you ever thought about revenge? You always run away, and It’s not a solution, is it?!”

Wu Yong was silent after hearing this, why didn't he think about it! Sometimes I even think about it in my dreams!

Bai Zhi looked at his silence and guessed the doubts in his heart, "Don't worry about what's dragging me down. I'm more annoyed by the Yan family than you are. They let their dogs bite me. I have a mortal hatred with them! Maybe we can Our interests are the same, don’t run away, just follow me!”

Wu Yong raised his head, and Bai Zhi's smile at the moment was a little arrogant, but also a little innocent.

"With all due respect, this girl is doing something she knows she can't do!" Wu Yong couldn't help pouring cold water on her.

"Hey! What's wrong with doing something you know you can't do? Someone once told me to do the right thing, not the easy thing. I think this is the right thing! Don't be afraid, sir, at least I You are rich! You can let your mother live a good life while she is alive."

Bai Zhi's words were so bright and dazzling that Wu Yong felt uncomfortable. He was eager to cover up his cowardice, "Although this statement is true, the origin of the girl is definitely not just a businessman's daughter! With all due respect, Your identity is false, and the source of your money is unknown! You came to Qiongzhou just to influence the situation in Qiongzhou, and even the world! You have evil intentions."

Bai Zhi blinked and laughed, "So what! To tell you the truth, my money was given by others, and my identity is also fake. Everything is helped by noble people!"

"Are you doing these things for your noble man?" Wu Yong felt sour and uncomfortable.

Bai Zhi smiled with an unknown meaning and said in a relaxed tone: "With a villain's heart, I am doing this for my own conscience! Your nobles don't want me to get into such a fight, nor do you want me to struggle in the quagmire, so let me go free."

"Since your noble man doesn't want you to do this, why do you insist on doing it? Doesn't this go against your noble man's wishes?"

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "The so-called freedom means spending my life according to my will."

Wu Yong was stunned. He couldn't speak to Bai Zhi, so he had to shut up.

"Come on! I'm done talking, are you willing or not?" Bai Zhi softened her attitude and asked seriously.

The soft voice unique to his daughter's family made Wu Yong excited. He couldn't lose his face for a moment and refused to speak.

"No way! Brother Wu, this can't help you?" Bai Zhi tilted her head, her head full of pearls jingling.

"No..." Wu Yong turned his face away, his ears feeling a little hot.

"What happened? Tell me!" Bai Zhi pouted helplessly.

"Why...are you looking for me?" Wu Yong turned his back and asked awkwardly.

"No need to ask! My brain is not working well! I am self-aware. I know very well what I can and cannot do. But then again, no matter how smart I am, a person's ideas will inevitably be biased. , even if you are the emperor, you have to listen to the advice of your ministers, right? Of course, the more people with brains, the better!"

"Will there be many more?" Wu Yong suddenly blurted out. After saying this, he realized what a stupid thing he said. Of course, the more, the better. There must be smart and capable people at every level and every position. He I also know this truth.

Bai Zhi also blurted out, "You are the only one now! I don't know anyone in Qiongzhou! I have to rely on you to slowly gather reliable people!"

For some reason, when Wu Yong heard that he was the only one, his heart suddenly melted, like a trickling stream. A strange feeling overflowed throughout his body. There was a slight sweat on his forehead, his palms were warm, and there was something at the corner of his mouth. Uncontrollably raised.

Her anxious voice came from behind again, "Sir, please say something! I'm so anxious!"

"it is good."

Wu Yong's voice is like a mosquito or fly.

Bai Zhi couldn't believe her ears. She quickly stood up and jumped down from the rockery, the pearls on her head jingling.

Wu Yong stood a few steps away from the rockery. When he heard Bai Zhi's movements, he quickly turned around and stretched out his hand, trying to support her as she landed unsteadily.

But when he stretched out his hand, Bai Zhi was already standing firmly on the ground, taking care of the step on her head.

Wu Yong silently retracted his hand and hid it behind his back. The heat in his palm became more and more intense, but his heart sank a little bit.

She didn't need help, and he didn't need to extend his hand.

"Are you telling the truth?" Bai Zhi was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.

There was no smile on Wu Yong's face, but there was still stubbornness in his eyes, and his thin face made him look a little fierce.

Bai Zhi couldn't see through his thoughts, but looked at him sincerely and enthusiastically, looking forward to his response.

"Really." Wu Yong said.

Bai Zhile blossomed, but the other person didn't seem to have any trouble, and she was spinning in circles with joy. She was at a loss and reached out to touch her chest. Her eyes gradually became moist.

"Then... don't say no to coming or not from now on! I will be frightened and get sick!" Bai Zhi raised her chin, half demanding and half begging.

"Not anymore."

"Then you must tell me if you have anything to do from now on. Don't be sulky alone and delay your business!"

"Not anymore."

"Especially what I did wrong, I must say it! I'm a bit stubborn, so don't be angry if I don't listen to you!"

"understood."

"That's OK! What you just said was an agreement. You can't just keep your word!" Bai Zhi pursed her lips, not daring to laugh too wildly.

"Always count," Wu Yong said.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and make some delicious food for a big banquet tonight!" Bai Zhi said and ran away happily.

Wu Yong was left alone, his heart racing.

He went back to the room and told his mother that there was no need to clean up.

The old lady burst into tears, "I thought Miss Bai had kicked us out."

Wu Yonghaosheng comforted his mother, "Mom, I won't be homeless in the future, and I won't make you suffer anymore."

"Son! Can you and that white girl make it work?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yong's expression became stern and his voice became much deeper, "Mom! Don't mention this again! Never mention it again! She is my master now, and if she talks about it, she will be disrespectful to the master!"

The old lady shut up immediately and did not dare to say any more.

At night, Bai Zhi held a banquet and invited You Qingtang Dashu and others.

The house was extremely lively for a while.

Everyone was drinking and having fun, but Wu Yong looked extremely quiet on the side.

He is today's protagonist, so Bai Zhi naturally pays attention to him all the time.

She walked over and toasted Wu Yong, "What are you thinking about, sir?"

In the dim light, Bai Zhi's skin was still as smooth as cream, and through the faint moonlight, her bright eyes could be seen.

"I'm thinking about...one person." Wu Yong couldn't think of an excuse for a moment.

Bai Zhi immediately stopped her mouth and blinked, "Don't think about it, fate dictates that there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, right?"

"Yes."

"Sir, what are your plans for the future? Have you ever thought about how to take revenge?"

"I have thought about many ways of revenge, too many to count." Wu Yong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the heart that couldn't stop tonight.

Bai Zhi sat down next to him, "Mr. Wu! If there is something, I know I can't say it well, but I still want to say it."

"Girl, please speak."

"As long as a person is alive, he must avenge himself. This is understandable. However, I hope, sir, that you will not take revenge as your pursuit in life."

"The girl was talking in a confused manner. Is the revenge going to be avenged or not?"

"I hope that your husband will still be the same person who has the heart to serve the country and pursue fame and fortune. He has great ambitions and great talents, and he should not be overwhelmed by hatred. As for revenge, you shouldn't live for it. You have to treat him as a convenience. This kind of hatred may happen again in the future, but it is just a stumbling block in your life."

Wu Yong suddenly opened his eyes, waking up as if from a dream.

"I still remember that my husband once teased his name as a useless person. I don't think it's right."

Wu Yong turned his head and looked at Bai Zhi with deep eyes.

"Sir, you are a man of great use. Wu is just your last name."

A person worthy of great use...

Just six words, like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, set off a storm in Wu Yong's heart.

Another sleepless night.
