After a round of criticism, Li Cunxi rolled his eyes and looked at the trembling Fang Qian.

This man is really timid, no wonder he is only fit to be a stand-in.

"Well, now that things have come to this point, you don't need to say anything more."

"From today on, you will obey my orders!"

"do you understand?"

Fang Qian slowly raised his head and said cautiously:

"But, young master, you haven't produced any tokens yet to prove that you are one of our Snake Spirits, right?"

Li Cunxi stood up with a grim smile, picked up the candlestick beside him, and stood in front of Fang Qian.

Lift the candlestick and slowly gather strength in your right hand.

Seeing that the candlestick was about to fall, Fang Qian still did not dare to resist.

Among the snake spirits, those who rebel against their superiors will suffer a terrible fate.

If this Mr. Li was really sent by the Snake Spirit Leader, he would not be able to fight back even if he was beaten to death today.

After a long time, the candlestick did not fall. Li Cunxi sneered:

"I'll spare your life, but don't be so presumptuous. I left in a hurry, and the leader was with His Majesty, so he didn't give me anything. As for you saying that I can't prove my identity..."

"Do I need to prove my identity to a fool like you? I know so much information, which is enough to prove my identity."

"If you two do bad things again, I'll use your dog heads to light a sky lantern!"

Fang Qian and Wu Yizi lay on the ground.

"I understand, sir!"

"Okay, if there is anything next, or if there is any news from Di Renjie, please let me know at any time."

"understand!"

"Sir, your room is too small. Why don't you stay at my place? It's more spacious."

"You are still somewhat filial, but a strong guest should not suppress the host. After all, you are the head of Youzhou, so just make do with it."

Li Cunxi put away the candlesticks, patted his butt and walked out of the room.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Di Renjie has most likely targeted Zhao Chuanchen, the magistrate of Sanhe County. Send someone to contact him immediately and ask him to keep his mouth shut!"

Fang Qian got up from the ground, looking puzzled, and asked:

"Sir, how do you know that the Sanhe County Magistrate is called Zhao Chuanchen?"

Li Cunxi was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "Slap yourself in the face, contact him and then come back to me!"

Fang Qian showed a look of pain and reached out to slap his mouth.

Li Cunxi felt secretly happy and walked towards his own room with his head held high.

Knowing that Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi were secretly contacting Jin Mulan, Li Cunxi still dared to act so rampantly. Is it because they will be forced to rebel in advance tomorrow night!

Before the rebellion, they had no time to contact Jin Mulan.

Only after the rebellion is over will it be discovered by Jin Mulan's people. Yu Feng poisons Fang Qian before Di Renjie arrives!

The best time for me to leave the Governor's Mansion is when the rebellion begins!

The Five Cities Military Department assembled their troops, and Hu Jinghui charged in alone, with the sound of killing shaking the sky.

That is the best time to escape from the Governor's Mansion!

"Come on, let me show you how a troublemaker like me solves a case."

Li Cunxi returned to the room happily, took out a letter and handed it to Tao Gan.

"Lao Tao, thank you for your help. Our destination is Lingnan, where the mountains are high and the roads are long. Please keep yourself useful. If the person cannot be found, I will not force you."

"Don't worry, sir. Even if Tao Gan sacrifices his own life, he will definitely bring the person back to you!"

"You will pass by Chang'an before going to Lingnan. If you meet Ma Rong on the way, tell him to come back to Youzhou to find me immediately. I have something important for him to do."

"Yes!"

Tao Gan put the envelope in his pocket, found his horse in the stable, rode away, and went out of the west gate to Chang'an.

……

That night, Qiao Tai came to Li Cunxi's room, clasped his fists and said:

"Sir, it's done. They sent people to Sanhe County but didn't run into Zhao Chuanchen. Li Yuanfang and Steward Di took Zhao Chuanchen to the Governor's Mansion ahead of time."

"I guess Zhao Chuanchen had already entered the Governor's Office before I came back."

"And I, according to the young master's instructions, delivered the message!"

Li Cunxi leaned back and nodded lazily.

This was part of his plan.

This step was taken just to prevent these two idiots from suspecting me.

After all, Di Renjie openly asked in the second hall which county Daliushu Village was under the jurisdiction of, so when he returned, he would definitely summon the county magistrate of this county to question him.

He guessed that Di Renjie had already sent out Li Yuanfang, so he asked Fang Qian and Wu Yizi to send people out, just to make Fang Qian's efforts go in vain.

"Come, sit down, and let's have some tea."

Li Cunxi pointed at the tea on the table, and the two of them started chatting at night while drinking tea and eating mung bean cakes.

In just half a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Sir, disaster has occurred!"

Fang Qian was sweating profusely and was extremely anxious.

"Zhao Chuanchen was summoned to the Governor's Mansion by Di Renjie, and there has been no news so far. I'm afraid he has already..."

"Why are you panicking?"

Li Cunxi raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea.

"I knew you couldn't handle such a small thing, something that is completely useless. You and Wu Yizhi have been in Youzhou for so many years, doing so many things, and contacting so many people. Haven't you discovered that these people under you are not reliable at all?"

"What do you mean, sir? Zhao Chuanchen and we are on the same boat. He will never expose us. We believe in Zhao Chuanchen, sir."

"Humph, that's all you can do. Will Zhao Chuanchen betray you two? Will he tell us what he knows? You two idiots will find out tomorrow."

"Then what should we do?"

"Early tomorrow morning, you and Wu Yizhi will go to the Governor's Mansion to pay your respects."

Li Cunxi said casually, took out a box of chess and placed it on the table.

"Greetings?"

"As subordinate officials, is there anything wrong with you going to greet the governor of Youzhou?"

In that era, the third rank was already a very high position. It was natural for the third rank governor of Youzhou to pay his respects to the temporary third rank official sent by the court.

Although Fang Qian was stupid, he had been an official for many years after all. He immediately understood what Li Cunxi meant and bowed to him:

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I will go to the Governor's Mansion to pay my respects as soon as the morning hour arrives tomorrow!"

If Zhao Chuanchen went to pay his respects at this time, he would have been bumped into by the two of them if he had not left the Governor's Mansion overnight and returned to Sanhe County.

By then, it would be easy to tell at a glance whether the Sanhe County Magistrate had betrayed them.

"You two are as stupid as pigs. I am afraid that you will make mistakes. Now I have something to tell you. Please listen carefully."

"Please speak, sir. I will certainly listen attentively!"

"If you didn't see Zhao Chuanchen when you were greeting him, that would be fine. But if you did see him, no matter what he was doing, you must remember what he was doing and what his expression was when you saw him, and what Lord Di was doing, and report to me truthfully when you come back!"

"Yes, son!"

"Okay, you go down, I'm going to play chess alone."

Li Cunxi has already set up the chessboard and placed the chess pieces in the chess box.

"Come on, A-Tai, you definitely don't know how to play Go. Today, Master will teach you how to play Gobang."
