The crescent moon in the sky was obscured by a wisp of clouds, and a small courtyard under Lion Rock was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

This courtyard has obviously been carefully taken care of. A simple wooden house is in the middle of the courtyard. In front of the wooden house is an exquisite rockery.

On the rockery, the word "Shen Du" is written in red seal script. The writing is deeply carved and is obviously the work of a skilled craftsman.

Surrounding the rockery are flower beds distributed in four squares, with flowers of different colors planted in each of these flower beds.

"Did Li Yi finally take action?"

The speaker was holding a sickle in his hand, bowing his body, and carefully eradicating weeds in the flowerbed.

He wore a simple blue cloth shirt, and his trouser legs were stained with specks of mud. At first glance, he looked like a gardener working hard at night.

I saw that this man's eyes were like those of an eagle, and his nose was straight and curved downwards like an eagle. His complexion was sickly pale. At this moment, under the moonlight, his whole person looked even more gloomy - he was exactly

Yangzhou governor, Qian Zong.

And this was naturally the small courtyard where Lin Song had secretly met him before.

"Sir, Li Yi has completely surrounded the entire Wangjiang Tower and killed a chariot and ship envoy directly."

The person who responded to him was a man in black robes. He was kneeling behind him on one knee at the moment. The projection of his body under the moonlight made him look a little bloated.

"Um--"

Qian Zong seemed to have no interest in Li Yi's actions, as if it was not the officials under his command that Li Yi forcibly besieged. At this moment, he just nodded slightly, bowed and continued to carefully shovel the weeds on the ground.

"Sir, what should I do? Please tell me clearly."

The man in black robe seemed to be a little confused as to why such a big thing happened in Jinling, but the governor could still clean up the weeds in the flowerbed easily and naturally.

"As it should be, so be it."

Qian Zong frowned. He encountered a problem. There was a weed sandwiched between two branches of red flowers growing very close to each other.

The sickle in his hand is a bit big. If he cuts the weeds by force, one of the flowers will be cut off.

This weed was swaying in the wind, seeming to be mocking the indecisiveness of the governor in front of him.

"well--"

Qian Zong suddenly sighed, threw the sickle aside, and then stood up. He gave up facing the problem in front of him.

In fact, what he gave up was not just the simple problem in front of him?

"Let's go." Qian Zong said, then casually wiped the sand in his hand on his clothes.

The man behind him banged his head on the ground so loudly that it frightened away a cat on the wall of the courtyard.

After he kowtowed, without saying much, he stood up and walked out along the gravel path between the flower beds.

He has been to this garden many times.

If it were revealed, no one would be able to imagine that the most powerful governor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has actually lived here for three years.

His body was a little bloated, so much so that he swayed a bit when he walked.

At this moment, he carefully avoided the flowers on both sides and quickly moved out of the door, as if to escape from this place that even the feudal officials were obsessed with.

"The scholar named Qin Maocai should also let the scholar named Qin Maocai know what is going to happen at Haishi tomorrow night..." The man in black had just walked to the door when he heard this sentence coming from behind him.

"But..." The man in black's hand had just touched the door panel. After hearing these words, he shrank back as if he had been electrocuted.

But he only said one word, and then he heard the dull sound of the door closing tightly behind him.

The man in black sighed, and after being stunned for a moment, he finally raised his hand and opened the wooden door.

There was a carriage parked outside the door, and beside the carriage stood a tall, shirtless man. This man was extremely tall, and his muscles all over his body looked like they were made of steel under the moonlight.

"Go back." The man in black stumbled into the carriage compartment, then he stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, taking off a piece of skin as thin as a cicada's wings.

The carriage drove slowly, and the man in black in the carriage sighed - the governor had already given such a big gift to Li Yi. In fact, they had given Qin Maocai many gifts before, many of which seemed heavy.

Gifts stacked together from human flesh and blood.

…

On the third floor of Wangjiang Building, Emily supported her head with her arms and looked at Li Yi sitting in front of her with a somewhat blank expression.

The gauze on her arms slid to her elbows, and her white arms were exposed, making her look very delicate and charming.

At this moment, she was just staring at Li Yi silently, facing the elusive imperial envoy in front of her. When they met for the first time, he seemed to be a drunken and corrupt official. When they met for the second time, he turned out to be completely...

Such a big thing happened.

Moreover, he seems to have superb martial arts skills.

Such a man was so cruel to the officials downstairs that he would kill them at will without even raising an eyebrow. However, he was very lenient towards his own subordinates, and he did not even have the slightest air of arrogance in his words and deeds.

"Is he doing this to arrest all the corrupt officials in Aurous Hill? No, to kill them all..." Emily blinked her beautiful blue eyes, rubbed her fluffy long brown hair with her hands, and felt confused.

thinking.

"Hey -" Li Yi finished another bottle of wine. In less than an hour, he had already drank six bottles of wine.

At this moment, I finally burped, the blush on my face completely dissipated, and the heat on my body gradually calmed down.

"Well -" After Li Yi drank ten times the amount of alcohol as an ordinary person, he still looked as usual. He glanced at Emily, who seemed a little bored, and became energetic. He grinned and said: "Little beauty, are you bored? Let's

Go see how things are going downstairs?"

"Ah!" Emily exclaimed. She instantly remembered the miserable appearance of the dignitaries downstairs crying and howling like ghosts. She hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, I won't go..."

"Don't want to go?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows and shrugged helplessly, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I..." Emily was stunned by his question, and suddenly her cheeks turned red.

This was the first time that Li Yi saw the other party blushing because of shyness. Before that, Li Yi even thought that Western women were not shy at all.

"I, I don't know!" Emily herself didn't know why. She had just looked at Li Yi for a full quarter of an hour. The more she looked, the more confused and confused she became. Some inexplicable emotions even came to her mind for no reason.

.

"I don't know!" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then pretended to think for a moment, grinned and said: "Since there is nothing to do, then-"
