Be a detective in Yuanshin

Saying goodbye to Li Shuo, Ning Guang returned to Yujing Terrace in a "carriage" non-stop.

Hu Tao will also go back to Shuidong Town to lead the hostesses in the Hall of Rebirth to help those resentful ghosts who are still wandering on the island, and go to the world where they should go.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that Hu Tao is worried that Li Shuo will continue to lie in his arms and not get up after Li Shuo suddenly talks about waking up.

It's too embarrassing, I can't stand it.

In this way, as Ning Guang and Hu Tao left one after another, Li Shuo seemed to be completely idle for a while.

He wandered aimlessly in Shuidong Town, even if he encountered some troubles, he didn't intend to help, as if everything in Shuidong Town had nothing to do with him, or he was more like a fair judge, never There was no end in sight from beginning to end.

All this fell into Kaiyang Xingyi's eyes.

Since last night, he has been paying attention to Li Shuo's situation consciously or unconsciously.

The more you observe, the more you believe in your own judgment. This girl with a neutral appearance and dress is definitely not as simple as Ning Guang's assistant.

Ningguang's assistant, he hasn't seen much, but it's not like he hasn't seen him before.

Compared with this mysterious girl who suddenly appeared, those assistants of Ningguang were far behind in both temperament and demeanor.

This morning, Yi Chao asked someone about the mysterious girl's situation, but everyone said that she hadn't seen her in Shuidong Town.

If it was really Ningguang's assistant, would he have stayed in Shuidong Town last night?I can't justify it!

Yi Hao even secretly guessed that if this mysterious girl with unknown identity never intends to interfere with Kuiao Island in the future, and then thinking about Ningguang's remarks yesterday, his previous guess might be eight or nine. ten.

It's a pity that due to the extremely probable real identity of the other party, Yi Rong didn't dare to test it easily, and could only observe secretly.

In any case, Li Shuo could never have imagined that some of his unintentional actions were misunderstood by Yi Rong as the incarnation of the Emperor Yan walking in the world. He came to personally examine how the Liyue people would deal with the disaster in the end. of.

If he knew, he would definitely give Yi Chao a big thumbs up, and then immediately boast that his imagination is so rich!

Chapter 23: A single spark can start a prairie fire (4K)

Ningguang returned to Yujingtai and immediately summoned the Liyue Seven Stars, proposing to appeal to the majority of Liyue merchants to contribute money and forcefully to the Kui'ao Island incident.

In short, we need to rely on the strength of our Liyue people to tide over this difficulty smoothly.

To be precise, it was actually Liyue Liuxing who held the meeting, and Kaiyang Xing Yichao was still staying on Kui'ao Island for the time being, responsible for coordinating everything.

It doesn't matter, because everyone knows that Kaiyangxing has always remained neutral since he took power, and no one will offend and support no one.

Even if he really went to Yujing Terrace, he probably didn't agree or object to Ningguang's proposal, so he would just abstain from voting and finish.

The result of the meeting was not surprising. The reform faction composed of Yuhengxing, Tianshuxing and Tianquan Ningguang agreed with the proposal and hoped to implement it immediately;

The conservative faction composed of Tianjixing, Tianxuanxing and Yaoguangxing raised objections and proposed to minimize the Kuiao Island incident to the outside world.

Li Shuo could have guessed the result with his toes on Kui'ao Island.

Conservatives hope to maintain the existing status quo, only in this way can they protect their existing interests to the greatest extent.

After all, in the last battle between the conservative faction and the reformist faction, the conservative faction was beaten and retreated steadily. In the end, they could only invite the immortals to come out to achieve a comeback.

It can be said that in the eyes of conservatives, Immortal Liyue is their last bastion.

They also admit that Ningguang's starting point is good, but the problem is that businessmen value profit.

Compared with Liyue people taking that important step, they are more worried that Ningguang will take this opportunity to dilute the influence of the immortals on Liyue.

In other words, destroy their last bastion.

This is unacceptable to conservatives.

As for saying that the Abyss Cult has come out in full force, Liyue is in danger?

In the eyes of conservatives, this kind of talk is simply alarmist.

Especially when they learned that Emperor Yan Wang was not really killed, the conservatives became even more unscrupulous.

They clearly knew that no matter what kind of speeches appeared from the outside world, as long as Emperor Yanwang was still alive, then Liyue would never be destroyed.

To use a saying that Mr. Li Shuo likes to say, when the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up.

The difference is that when Li Shuo said this sentence, he was always the tall man who propped up the sky with his arms;

But the conservatives who are used to being under the protection of the Emperor Yanwang are the group of people who don't forget to make profits while being protected.

Li Shuo was lying comfortably on the grass, basking in the sun leisurely with a root of grass in his mouth, and Paimeng next to him seriously despised his behavior of slacking off.

"I heard from Gan Yu that there is a lot of quarrel at Yujing Terrace now, and Ningguang insists on holding a fundraiser, and has even sent people to take a walk in Liyue City in advance to collect the news.

The conservatives also spread the news. On the one hand, they refuted the rumors that the Emperor Yan Wang was not killed at all, and that the Ningkui Ao Island incident was just a small accident, far from serious enough to require donations.

It is also said that Ningguang is ignoring the facts, trying to use the Kuiao Island incident as an excuse, trying to suppress the prestige of the Emperor Yan among the people in an attempt to seize power, which is wolf ambition.

He even slandered Ningguang, saying that the news of the emperor's death was also released by Ningguang. "

Indignantly, Pai Meng told Li Shuo what he had inquired about. Now she really hates those conservatives!

Kuiao Island has encountered such a serious disaster, and the lives of more than 2 people have suffered a devastating blow. As a result, it turned out to be just a small accident in the mouths of those people?

Simply incomprehensible!

Li Shuo glanced at Pai Meng, who was so angry that he jumped to his feet, spit out the grass in his mouth, and then said in a casual way: "Actually, those guys from the conservatives are right. The matter of Kui'ao Island is really serious." What is it called.

Not to mention that most of the residents on the island are not dead, even if they are really dead, there are only 2 people.The conservatives might even be complaining, why meddle in their own business, wouldn't it be better to let all these people on the island die?

If they are all dead, push all the problems to the Abyss Cult, then issue a declaration that they are incompatible with the Abyss Cult, and finally erect a monument on Kui'ao Island. The result should not be too perfect.

It's not like now that we need to rebuild their homes for these victims, but also find ways to appease the psychological shadow caused by the disaster.

More importantly, if everyone is dead, just find a place to bury them, and those who have nothing to do with themselves will listen to it as a story when they hear it from others without witnessing it with their own eyes.

Some people may shed two tears, some people eat two bites when they eat, and they don't take it seriously at all.

It's not like now, but whenever you come to Kui'ao Island and walk around, your body and mind will be shocked beyond measure. "

The shock brought by hearing others talk about it and seeing it with your own eyes is completely different.

For example, when Li Shuo saw the tragic situation of the residents of Kuiao Island, he wished he could become a horse hunter and tear the Abyssal Church apart.

Paimeng, who was already so angry that she ate a bowl of lunch, couldn't stand it even more after hearing Li Shuo's understatement. She barked her teeth and claws and said frantically, "So angry, so angry! Why is such a person still so angry? To be able to continue to serve as the Seven Stars of Liyue, that guy Zhongli and the immortals of Liyue, what are they thinking?"

Li Shuo always felt that Paimeng didn't listen to the lecture well. He focused on this matter a few days ago: "Didn't I say it, the immortal came from the beginning of Liyue's establishment. With the improvement of productivity, Liyue people's demands are constantly increasing.

But the vast majority of immortals, unlike Zhongli and Gan Yu, have always dealt with Liyue people, so those immortals don't think there is any problem with this.

If Paimon went to deal with those immortals, he might be even angrier, because some immortals didn't even treat people.

Take Paimon as an example, will Paimon treat people the same as those cats and dogs? "

Paimon was a little dumbfounded: "But...but..."

"There's nothing to be said for."

Li Shuo turned over and sat up, and said as a matter of course: "No matter how kind Paimon is, cats and dogs are still cats and dogs after all, and it is impossible to treat them as human beings.

The same is true for immortals, no matter how kind and benevolent they are, they are still immortals after all, not real human beings.

Trying to make the immortal put down his arrogance and take the initiative to blend in with the Liyue people is similar to asking the Liyue people to let go of their human identity and take the initiative to blend in with cats and dogs.

There can be, but it's really not necessary.

Immortals don't have to do this, and Liyue people don't have to force them like this.

but..."

Paimon hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"However, the people of Liyue are really lucky. They were fortunate enough to meet the Emperor Yanwang." Li Shuo raised his palms to the sky with his fingers crossed, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun that was always so bright in the sky and said: "Morak Si, this guy, sometimes it’s hard to be unadmirable.”

Li Shuo is an extremely proud guy. He looks down on those immortals in Liyue, and even looks down on the so-called six gods left in Tivat Continent except for Morax.

This kind of pride is easy to understand, just like a modern person travels to ancient times, maybe he can't enjoy the ancient times, and he may even have his head cut off by a horse bandit just two days after crossing, but this does not prevent him from looking at this with pride. backward times.

Also compared to the Tivat continent, the earth is much more advanced in terms of system and thought.But it wasn't until Li Shuo met Morax that this pride gradually let go.

It is not because of how wise Morax is, nor because of how far-sighted he is, but as the ancestor of the immortals, he can let go of his noble status and maintain a humble heart at all times.

Morax is a god, but he is not omniscient. His wisdom is not innate, but through humbly learning and continuous improvement while walking in the mortal world. It is precisely because of this that he can always walk in the path of the Liyue people. Front.

Even now, Morax is still the first to take the first step in Liyue's upcoming huge transformation.

"Li thinks that Ningguang won the battle in the end, or the conservative side has the upper hand?" Ying, who came over, had just finished speaking, and sat directly next to Li Shuo.

Kui'ao Island is currently undergoing reconstruction work. Because Ying can use the earth element, many places have to hope that she can help.

Although Ying could completely refuse, when she saw the victims, she still agreed without any complaints.

Without even thinking about it, Li Shuo said, "Don't worry, Ningguang will definitely win in the end.

In terms of abilities among the Liyue Seven Stars, Ningguang belongs to the only tier, and Ke Qing below her is also a separate tier;

Below Ke Qing should be Yi Chao, this guy is barely in the first rank, and then Uncle Tian is half a rank higher than the three conservatives.

In the end, the three conservatives can only be called the three brothers of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.

Although compared to ordinary people, they may be called wily and resourceful, but in front of Ning Guang and Ke Qing, they are not enough. "

Li Shuo looked at Paimeng and Ying's shocked expressions, so he had to briefly introduce them: "The Seven Stars of Liyue used to be hereditary, and the characteristic of hereditary system is often that the elders don't respect the virtuous."

"Why?" Paimon didn't understand, shouldn't the smartest be in power?

Li Shuo said quietly: "You must know that if you kill such a big family from outside, you can't kill it for a while. This is what the ancients said, 'a centipede is dead but not stiff'. You must first commit suicide at home. , to be crushed!

Therefore, when Liyue Qixing is looking for a successor, what he needs most is stability.

There is only one eldest son, and more importantly, his identity is undisputed, but Lixian is hard to say.

For example, Uncle Tian has more than ten children and more grandchildren. Everyone thinks they are the smartest and have the right to inherit the position of Tianshu Star.

If Uncle Tian appoints one at random, the others may be very dissatisfied, and then there will be infighting.

Therefore, in order to avoid internal strife and family ruin, the inheritance law that the elders do not establish the virtuous is basically established.

Although the vast majority of heirs have been carefully cultivated since they were young, and they are definitely among the dragons and phoenixes among ordinary people, but when it comes to Ningguang and Keqing, they are not enough at all.

As long as there is no fairy ending up sideways, the conservatives have no chance of winning.

Unfortunately, now that Immortal Liyue is in trouble, he has no time to care about the internal struggles of the Liyue Seven Stars. "

Coincidentally?

Is it really a coincidence?

Who knows, anyway, the current situation is like this, it can only be said to be a coincidence.

After all, no one has any evidence that there is really a pair of hands behind this matter.

Li Shuo followed up and continued: "As a successful businessman, Ningguang, apart from being able to seize opportunities, the most important thing is to gain wisdom from one fall, and never stumble twice on the same problem.

At the beginning, the conservatives held the right to speak, but as a result, the various achievements made by the reformers were distorted. Therefore, after Ningguang took power, he has been concerned about the struggle for the right to speak.

Because the conservatives, as old-fashioned giants, have firmly grasped the discourse power of the upper class, and it is difficult to compete with them for the discourse power in this respect, so Ningguang took a different approach and chose to take the grassroots route.

When the conservatives were monopolizing and investing in top-tier restaurants like Liuli Pavilion and Xinyuexuan, Ningguang, Keqing, and Uncle Tian continued to support the canteens and teahouses at the bottom.

Even storytellers in teahouses are almost all people who have been supported by Ningguang over the years. "

Liyue's gold house produces money all the time, how to use the money is mostly up to the Liyue Seven Stars, and of course there must be a legitimate reason.

In the past, going to school was something only rich people would consider. Since Ningguang came to power, a law was enacted to stipulate that the lower-level Liyue people must also send their children to school.

In order to alleviate the difficulties of these families, he used his status as the star of Tianquan to apply for subsidizing these ordinary families with Mora from the Golden House.

As Yuhengxing, Keqing father and daughter are mainly in charge of various construction projects in Liyue. They also use their rights to apply for a large amount of mora to build schools in various places in Liyue.

Uncle Tian provides educational talents to provide basic education for Liyue people at the grassroots level.

Ningguang, who has mastered the right to education, is no longer fighting alone. Almost all the students who come out of the school naturally agree with their philosophy.

And this group of people spread all over Liyue, and even elite talents in various industries.

With these people helping with publicity, Ningguang no longer needs to worry about the right to speak.

On the contrary, the group of conservatives valued the publicity target or the upper class, and they didn't realize that the times had changed at all.

In fact, Ningguang has been making intensive preparations for this layout since the day Li Shuo became the hands-off shopkeeper.

For this reason, she woke up Uncle Tian who had lost his ambition, and witnessed the growth of the young girl Ke Qing.

Now the time is finally ripe, the change that was temporarily brought to an end that year will surely sweep through Liyue again.

Not only did she want to wake up those sleeping Liyue people, but she also wanted to call back the man who was gradually going away.
