A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Chapter 226 The Rumors Gradually Subside

Ye Shuli slowly turned around, her eyes flashing like cold flames. The RFID-sensing curtains automatically closed, making the light in the council chamber even softer.

She gently placed the letter on the council table, her gaze sweeping over everyone present. The representatives of the forces of justice held their breath, awaiting her decision.

"Everyone, it seems our enemy is not resigned to this." Ye Shuli's voice was cold and firm, each word like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing straight to the heart.

As soon as she finished speaking, an invisible tension seemed to fill the air.

"Those old bastards, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!" Jiang Ye said through gritted teeth, his fists clenched, his eyes flashing with anger.

Ye Shuli smiled slightly, but with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Since they want to play, then we'll play along to the end. We'll let them know that the new order cannot be trampled on!"

The peacemaker among the representatives of the forces of justice nodded gently, her tone both gentle and firm: "We support you, Ye Shuli. As long as justice prevails, there is no difficulty we cannot overcome."

“I also have a plan.” The Sage of Order slowly stood up, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. “We can use public opinion to fight back against them and make them reap what they sow.”

Ye Shuli nodded in satisfaction, but it's not just about public opinion; we also need to take action.

Jiang Ye, go contact our allies and get everything ready.

"

"Understood!" Jiang Ye nodded firmly, turned around and quickly left the council hall.

Just then, the council chamber doors were suddenly pushed open, and a servant rushed in, panting, and said, "My lord, something terrible has happened! The old lord of the powerful faction has arrived with his opponents. They're shouting outside, demanding to see Miss Ye Shuli!"

Ye Shuli

She slowly walked forward, pushed open the door, and saw a row of people standing outside. The leader of the old-established forces had a gloomy look in his eyes, and the representatives of the opposing forces beside him were all menacing, as if they wanted to devour her alive.

"Ye Shuli, you've finally come out." The voice of the veteran lord was cold and laced with threat. "Your good days are over!"

Ye Shuli's gaze was as cold as frost, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Hmph, you few clowns? You're just making a fool of yourselves."

The tension between the two sides was palpable, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Representatives of the forces of justice stood behind Ye Shuli, forming an unbreakable defensive line.

"I know your plans perfectly well," Ye Shuli's voice was as firm as ice. "I will show you who the true ruler is!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and went back into the council chamber, leaving behind a frozen atmosphere.

The old-guard lord's face was extremely gloomy, but he could not hide the unease in his heart.

Ye Shuli, however, wore a confident smile, as if everything was under her control.

Her words were like sharp blades, piercing the enemy's heart, and the real counterattack had only just begun.

Ye Shuli had a cold smile on her lips. Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp rhythmic sound that seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present.

"Everyone, the show is about to begin."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ye led a group of people in, escorting the tightly bound and trembling opinion manipulator into the room.

This guy's face was bruised and swollen, and his once meticulously styled hair was now a mess. He was nowhere near his previous arrogant and domineering self.

He was a complete wreck, a dog that had been brought back to its original state.

"Everyone, you must all be familiar with this 'mastermind,' right?" Jiang Ye pointed at the manipulator of public opinion, his tone full of sarcasm.

The representatives of the forces of justice cast disdainful glances at them, while the peace envoy was heartbroken: "You! How dare you tarnish our reputation like this!"

The manipulator of public opinion stammered, his eyes darting around, trying to deny it: "I...I...I was also instructed by someone..."

"Who instructed you?" Ye Shuli pressed on, her tone sharp as a knife. "The evidence is irrefutable; do you still want to deny it?"

Jiang Ye promptly threw a stack of documents at the face of the manipulator of public opinion; these were evidence of his collusion with the old-established lord.

Now, the manipulator of public opinion was completely silenced, his face ashen, and large beads of sweat streaming down his forehead, making him look like a plucked chicken.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly gratifying!" Jiang Ye fanned the flames from the side, not forgetting to take a picture as a meme. "That expression could easily be made into an emoji!"

Laughter erupted in the council chamber, and the manipulator's face turned pale and then red, wishing he could disappear into the ground.

Just then, a loud voice rang out: "Me! I want to expose them!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an inconspicuous leader of a small, established faction step forward, pointing at the lord of the established faction and tearfully accusing him of all his evil deeds.

The veteran leader was stunned. Pointing at the leader of the smaller faction, his finger trembled, "You...you...you dare to betray me?!"

The leader of the minor faction, neck stiff with righteous indignation, declared: "I'm abandoning the darkness for the light! Following you, we'd be doomed sooner or later!"

"Good! Well said!" The representatives of the forces of justice applauded and cheered, bringing the atmosphere in the council chamber to a climax.

The old-guard lord's face changed from red to white, then from white to green, just like a chameleon.

He glared fiercely at Ye Shuli, gritting his teeth as he said, "Ye Shuli, you just wait!"

Ye Shuli chuckled lightly, her eyes filled with disdain: "I'm waiting, but are you sure you still have a chance?"

She slowly stood up, walked to the old lord of the power, looked down at him, and said in an icy tone: "The game has only just begun."

A sudden commotion arose outside the door. Jiang Ye's eyes sharpened, and he abruptly stepped in front of Ye Shuli...

Jiang Ye rushed to Ye Shuli's side in one stride, his muscles tense, like a cheetah poised to pounce, warily scanning the area ahead.

Several ragged, unruly people, carrying rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, rushed over, yelling and shouting obscene words like "witch" and "get out of XX territory."

"Damn it! Have these troublemakers lost their minds? How dare they act so wildly here?" Jiang Ye spat, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush in for a fight.

Ye Shuli grabbed him, a wicked smile playing on her lips: "Don't get your hands dirty, watch me."

She slowly walked up to the crowd, cleared her throat, and said in a slightly magnetic voice, "Fellow villagers, I know you still have some doubts about the new order. But please believe me, the new order is for everyone to live a better life!"

"Bullshit! You officials, all you know how to do is fool us ordinary people!" A burly man with a face full of scars jumped out, spitting everywhere. "Isn't it all just to plunder our hard-earned money!"

"That's right! We don't believe you!"

The crowd was inflamed, and it looked like it was about to escalate into a riot.

Jiang Ye was sweating profusely with anxiety. These unruly people were truly impervious to reason!

He wanted nothing more than to rush up and beat them all to a pulp.

Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly raised her voice, speaking in a seductive tone: "Everyone, calm down and let me finish! I know what you're worried about—you're afraid the new order will harm your interests. But I want to tell you that the new order will only make your lives better! For example..."

She paused, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and scanned the crowd. Seeing that everyone was captivated by her, she slowly said, "For example, in the future, everyone will have free medical care, free schooling for their children, and guaranteed retirement! How about it, isn't it tempting?"

"Really?" Some voices began to waver in the crowd.

"Of course it's true! I, Ye Shuli, keep my word!" She patted her chest and assured him, looking very confident.

"But...we still don't quite believe it..."

"It's alright, time will tell." Ye Shuli smiled slightly, a determined glint in her eyes. "I will show everyone the benefits of the new order through my actions!"

Seeing Ye Shuli's confidence, Jiang Ye felt at ease.

He knew that Ye Shuli was not someone who gave up easily, and that she would definitely keep her word.

The atmosphere in the council chamber gradually eased as Ye Shuli delivered her speech.

The representatives of the forces of justice nodded in agreement, expressing their admiration for Ye Shuli's eloquence and courage.

However, Ye Shuli's expression did not relax.

She knew this was just the beginning.

To truly win the hearts and minds of the people, we still need to put in more effort.

She took a deep breath, walked to the council table, picked up a pen, and wrote a few large characters on the paper: "Next, we..." Ye Shuli cleared her throat, and her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table twice, making a "tap-tap" sound, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Next, we're going to play something big!" She curled her lips into a sly smile.

She took out a scroll she had prepared beforehand and slowly unfurled it amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd. The scroll prominently displayed the words "New Order Planning".

"First, universal health insurance, medical care is free! Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll show them why the flowers are so red!" Ye Shuli exuded domineering confidence, her words ringing with conviction.

"Second, compulsory education, schooling is free! Knowledge changes destiny, start from childhood!" She paused, glanced around, and continued, "Third, improve the pension system, so that the elderly have support and care! Anyone who dares to withhold pensions will experience what it means for 'golden years' to turn into 'iron fist'!"

The representatives of the forces of justice were stunned for a moment, then burst into thunderous applause.

The peace envoy was moved to tears: "Miss Ye is truly wise and righteous! This is simply a blessing for humanity!" The wise man of order couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss Ye has such foresight; this act will surely be remembered for generations to come!"

Ye Shuli smiled slightly and accepted everyone's praise with ease.

Jiang Ye gave a thumbs up and praised enthusiastically: "666, as expected of my Sister Li, you're amazing!"

Seeing how popular Ye Shuli was, the old-guard lords turned green with envy.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. No way!

He absolutely cannot let Ye Shuli succeed!

He quietly left the council chamber, walked to a secluded corner, took out a black communication talisman from his pocket, infused it with spiritual power, and whispered, "Activate Plan B..."

Inside the council chamber, Ye Shuli was enthusiastically discussing the details of the new order with everyone, completely unaware of the danger approaching...

Suddenly, she frowned, a strange unease welling up inside her.

She suddenly looked up at the dark night sky outside the window and murmured to herself, "The weather is about to change..."
