"Someone from Shengjing is trying to overthrow the Jiangnan officialdom. What do you think, sir?"

Just now in Lane 18 of East Street, Shi Weian had already guessed the intentions of General Liang and Lord Bai.

On the surface, they wanted to use him to testify against his father-in-law as he suspected him of being involved in a bribery case, but in reality they wanted to alienate the alliance between him and his father-in-law.

Shi Weian sneered in his heart. How could he easily believe such an obvious trick?

Not only will he not believe it, on the contrary, on the day of the banquet, he will give them a big gift!

Mr. Liu frowned slightly when he heard this. He sighed softly and lowered his voice: "I don't know much about officialdom. Why do you have to embarrass me, sir?"

Although Mr. Liu was a counselor brought back by Shi Weian, Mr. Liu had never told Shi Weian his thoughts on matters concerning officialdom.

Only in certain matters concerning the entire Jiangnan region, when Shi Weian encountered difficulties, Mr. Liu would give a few suggestions.

But now, Shi Weian suddenly asked about this, and Mr. Liu didn't want to answer.

Mr. Liu saw how the people in the city lived every day, but others could not make any comments. Even if the counselors said all the great principles, they could not make Shi Weian become a fair and honest official.

If officials are corrupt, the people will suffer in the end.

If Mr. Liu had not made an agreement with Shi Weian to stay by his side for five years, he would have found an opportunity to run away long ago.

"It's not that I want to embarrass you, sir."

As if he had guessed what Mr. Liu was thinking, Shi Weian showed an unhappy look on his face. He spoke in a calm voice with a hint of threat: "Sir, you and I are now tied to the same boat. If anything happens to me, you can't escape either."

Mr. Liu: “…”

If it weren't for the agreement between him and Shi Wei'an, he would have turned to the light long ago! !

What a pity, he was a gentleman.

A gentleman’s promise is as good as gold.

Mr. Liu shook his head and said nonchalantly: "If it really comes to that time, then I, Liu Yu, will have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany you."

"???"

After these words were spoken, Shi Weian looked at Mr. Liu in disbelief.

It was obvious that he asked Mr. Liu to come over because he wanted Mr. Liu to give him advice and help him solve the problem at hand.

Who would have thought that Mr. Liu would just accept his fate so easily?

Shi Wei'an couldn't help but scold him: "Why do you think so? If you accept your fate so quickly, wouldn't you be wasting your talent and knowledge?"

Mr. Liu looked up at Shi Wei'an and said with great sorrow: "It's a pity that even with my talent and knowledge, I can't let you give up those things that you shouldn't have. My Lord, you should know what I mean. If you are willing to stop and turn back, then there may be a chance for a turnaround..."

"Okay, stop talking!"

Shi Weian has always been impatient to listen to Mr. Liu's advice, unless it was something that could help him.

What about stopping before it is too late and turning back? Every word is just nonsense!

If Mr. Liu had not helped him a lot before, he would have called someone in to throw Mr. Liu out.

Shi Wei'an was already annoyed, and now he couldn't get any useful suggestions from Mr. Liu. He was even more annoyed, and his face turned cold: "If you don't have any ideas, then go out. Come back to see me when you have an idea."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Liu stood up quickly and said, "Sir, I will leave first."

Shi Weian pursed his lips, stared at him with his dark eyes, and his gloomy face was full of anger.

Facing the sharp gaze, Mr. Liu pretended not to know and was about to leave the study. When he turned around, he saw another secret guard beside Lord Shi, Qian Ning, who walked in expressionlessly.

Mr. Liu paused and stopped where he was.

Qian Ning glanced at Mr. Liu expressionlessly and called him "Mr. Liu".

Mr. Liu nodded slightly at him.

Shi Wei'an asked, "Why are you here? Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

Qian Ning bowed his head and replied: "In reply to your words, the two groups of assassins have been assembled and will take action the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Shi Wei applauded, his expression changed from the previous gloomy to a smile, "I think it is safest for you to do it. The action the day after tomorrow will be left to you to execute. When the time comes, you can use the cup-throwing as a signal."

"Yes."

Qian Ning bowed his head and responded.

Hearing the word "killer", Mr. Liu felt a chill down his spine, and immediately became confused. Why did the Lord summon two groups of killers? Who was the Lord trying to deal with?

Mr. Liu inexplicably had a bad premonition and couldn't help wailing in his heart, fearing that this time he would really have to risk his life to accompany the gentleman!

Mr. Liu didn't want to stay here any longer. He walked out quickly and left the front yard in a moment.

After he could no longer see Mr. Liu's back, Shi Weian slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "Qianning, go to the Jiang Mansion again and ask Mr. Jiang to come to the Governor's Mansion. Tell him that I have something very important to discuss with him."

After hearing the instructions, Qian Ning turned around and left.

Mr. Liu did not live in the Governor's Mansion. He lived in the courtyard outside, on East Street.

Normally, when Shi Weian sent guards or secret guards to bring him into the mansion, he didn't have to walk by himself. After things were discussed and they returned to East Street, the guards or secret guards would use their lightness skills to take him back.

But today, he seemed to have angered the adults, and he could no longer enjoy the usual treatment, so he could only walk back on his own.

Little did he know that just as Mr. Liu entered the alley of East Street, his vision suddenly fell into darkness. Before he could react, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and he lost consciousness and fainted on the ground...

Then, two tall figures appeared in the alley. One of them took out a sack, put Mr. Liu in it, and then quickly carried the sack on his shoulders. Then the two hurried away.

……

Qian Ning quickly rushed to Jiang Mansion.

Upon learning that Lord Jiang was not at home at the moment, Qian Ning turned around and left. It took him a lot of effort to find Lord Jiang.

Qian Ning stood in front of Lord Jiang, as if he had not seen the woman nestled in Lord Jiang's arms. There was no surprise on his expressionless face, and he said in a light tone: "Lord Jiang, my master wants to see you."

Jiang Pei'an lowered his head and stroked the cheek of the woman in his arms, and said nonchalantly: "After all, I am also the father-in-law of your master. It would be fine if your master didn't come to see me in person, but now you want me to come in person?"

After falling out with Madam Jiang, Jiang Pei'an came to the villa where Bai Lian was living with a rage in his heart. He made up his mind to ignore Madam Jiang for a while, lest that vicious woman climb over his head and threaten him again!
