Perhaps, in his eyes, this is not a sacrifice at all, but a transaction at most.

"I have a suitable candidate, but I still need to ask for her opinion. Let me handle this matter. Wu Yan, go find out where Xihe and his men are. Gao Qiao, you go attract the people to this location, and then hide the gold in an extremely secluded place."

Lan Wangshu stretched out his finger and dipped it in tea to draw a simple map. Gao Qiao had already run around Rucheng and recognized this place at a glance.

"Yes, master."

"Yes, master."

The two men nodded to each other and left.

Hua Qiming stared at Lan Wangshu with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his eyes and see into his heart. His voice was filled with anger and doubt, "Who do you plan to put the black-robed man on, and which family do you want to take the blame?"

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Hua Qiming decided not to beat around the bush. He stood up straight and spoke in a firm tone. Lan Wangshu narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning his neck on the back of the chair, looking nonchalant.

"I don't understand what Shaoan means." Lan Wangshu's voice was calm, but Hua Qiming could hear a hint of disdain in it.

Hua Qiming was angered by Lan Wangshu's attitude. He sneered, "It's already this time, so stop pretending. Your purpose must not just be to clear yourself."

Lan Wangshu's eyes slowly opened, revealing a tiny slit, and his gaze fell coldly on Hua Qiming.

"How do you know I'm not?" Lan Wangshu's voice was filled with sarcasm.

"Li Taibai, your mind is not big or small, but you will not let the aristocratic family go so easily. Since there is a chance, why give up?" Hua Qiming's voice was full of distrust.

"I really didn't..." Lan Wangshu's words were a little hesitant, as if he was also thinking about this possibility.

Hua Qiming's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he heard. "No?" he repeated, his suspicion growing stronger.

Lan Wangshu's expression became a little complicated, and he seemed to be weighing something in his mind. Hua Qiming clenched his fists tightly, knowing that Lan Wangshu must have some plan, and this plan would likely have a huge impact on the family.

"Really not, but this is indeed a good idea, Shaoan, can you give me some advice?"

Lan Wangshu became a little excited when she thought of this. She looked at Hua Qiming, hoping to hear some interesting plans from him.

"You really don't?"

Hua Qiming now believes what Lan Wangshu said, mainly because the smirk and bad taste on this man's face are so obvious that they can't be hidden.

"Yes, please give me some advice, Prime Minister Hua."

Lan Wangshu's tone was sincere and eager. She was well aware of the wisdom and experience of Prime Minister Hua Qiming, and was eager to get a good solution to the problem from him.

For Lan Wangshu, showing weakness appropriately was also a means of achieving her goal. Her fever had just subsided, and she could not think too much, nor did she have the ability to think too much.

"No problem. The Wen family really needs someone to take the blame for this. On the one hand, the third son of the Wen family is a well-trained talent, and now something like this has happened. The Wen family naturally can't swallow this breath; on the other hand, the family's reputation cannot be lost." Hua Qiming spoke slowly, as if he had already made up his mind. He took a sip of tea and then looked at the empty teacup. Lan Wangshu understood and immediately stood up to refill his tea.

Hua Qiming nodded with satisfaction, secretly sighing in his heart. He had never thought that one day he would be able to drink tea poured by Lan Wangshu himself.

The little girl really has a lot on her mind. She is really adaptable. If she can achieve this, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things.

"The first choice is the Cheng family. The Cheng family belongs to the first echelon among the aristocratic families and is very powerful. The eldest son of the Cheng family, the Minister of Personnel, married a wealthy businessman from the south. The Cheng family is not only not short of money, but he is also involved with Elder Lin, and has both power and money. With this combination of power and money, its development speed is simply immeasurable, and it has far exceeded that of other aristocratic families. Especially the second place who has been struggling to catch up..." Hua Qiming's words revealed his fear and vigilance towards the Cheng family.

Hua Qiming hinted at something and winked at Lan Wangshu.

"Could the second place be the Wen family of Yanzhou?"

Lan Wangshu secretly clicked his tongue, what a coincidence, what a coincidence.

That's right, so if it was really done by the Cheng family, the Wen family would definitely take the opportunity to hold on tightly and never give up. Lan Wangshu was still a little hesitant. This plan was too risky. Once the noble family took action, in addition to assassination, political manipulation, and business wars were inevitable, which would inevitably implicate people all over the world. "But, is this really foolproof?" There was a trace of worry in her eyes.

"It's natural for you to have concerns. After all, this idea was not yours, and it is indeed difficult to implement. But Taibai, you must understand that opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize it, you will never have such a good opportunity again. Aren't you also very anxious?" Hua Qiming understood Lan Wangshu's concerns, but he didn't think there were too many risks in this plan. Even if there were, it was worth a try. The foundation of the family should have been shaken long ago.

"I'm not worried about the difficulty of implementation. This opportunity is indeed rare, but there are still many issues that need to be considered. I don't have a deep understanding of the aristocratic families. How can we make the Wen family and the Cheng family fall into a desperate situation where they fight to the death?" Lan Wangshu frowned. She knew very well the complex relationships between the aristocratic families. It was not easy to reach such a point.

"It's certainly not enough to just deal with the Wen family and the Cheng family, but it would be different if the two families had a grudge against each other."

Hua Qiming smiled faintly, looking confident of victory.

The affairs of the aristocratic families, like a heavy haze, have always shrouded Your Majesty's heart, becoming an unspeakable worry for him and causing him constant worry.
