The lights were on in the study of the county magistrate's mansion.

The moon rises on the treetops, and the chaos in most parts of Xingke County has subsided, but this night is destined to be sleepless. The Statistics Department, the Tizheng Department, the City Guards Department, and the County Guards all ran around non-stop, and under the command of "Lan Yan" to settle losses and arrest the rioters.

Yin Guyue walked into the county magistrate's mansion stepping on the moonlight. The solemn and stable door was now broken. The ground was filled with blood and blood after the blood battle. The air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood, which made Yin Guyue unable to help pinch his nose.

"Captain Yin." The operator who was loading the body to deal with the treatment quickly said to Yin Guyue: "The director said, you can go to the study room to report the situation to him when you come."

Yin Guyue nodded, looked around for a week and observed the surrounding operators, and asked, "How are the casualties?"

“No casualties.”

"No casualties?"

"Yes." The operator said with a look of longing: "We actually arrived a little slower than the director. When we arrived, the rebels stationed at the door had already suffered heavy casualties. We were just responsible for finishing and alerting as directed by the director, and did nothing at all."

Yin Guyue was slightly stunned, and then he glanced at the broken wall gate of the county magistrate's mansion.

‘What a monster…”

Yin Guyue strode into the atrium of the county magistrate's mansion and saw many people working in the main hall. He didn't go to join in the fun, so he went straight to the study room. When he pushed the door open, he saw Lan Yan standing browsing the information in the study room.

Lan Yan was disarmed at this time, and there were no weapons around him. He was wearing a rather elegant blue robe. A burning incense lit in the study, emitting a quiet and far-reaching fragrance.

"Welcome back." Lan Yan's eyes did not leave the contents on the file, "Please sit."

"You didn't even sit, I dare not sit."

Lan Yan smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head, put his hand on the back of the chair in the study, and said, "This chair represents the peak of Xingke County's power. If I sit on it, I will be a transgression."

In the past, Ding Yi's discussion was not a main hall where guests were welcomed. The study room of the county magistrate's office was the core of power for him to conspire with his confidant to discuss matters. The chiefs of the Bosi, the Criminal Department, and the Statistics Department came to the county magistrate's office and basically went to the study room to discuss and obey orders. In other words, the main chair in the study room was indeed the throne of power in Xingke County.

However, Yin Guyue's expression became very strange when she heard this sentence. Lan Yan glanced at him and smiled and said, "Is there anything I want to say?"

"Hehe, don't dare." Yin Guyue waved her hand.

It’s not that there is no, but that it’s not daring.

"I know, you think I'm just pretending to be a pretentious person, and he is full of conspiracy but righteous, hypocritical, treacherous and false, and false righteous." Lan Yan's face was not angry, as if he was telling someone else's story: "But if it were you, would you sit here and give orders?"

Yin Guyue thought about it and shook her head: "Probably not."

"Why not?"

“It doesn’t feel very good.”

"Why do you feel bad?" Lan Yan said: "Now everyone in the county knows that I saved Xingke County, they all know that all the senior officials were killed, they all know that I, Lan Yan, have all the power of Xingke County. Whether I sit on this chair will not affect the reality, but... you also feel that this is not good, right?"

Yin Guyue nodded thoughtfully.

"There is no rational person in this world, and everyone is acting on the 'feeling'." Lan Yan took out another document and read it carefully: "Great justice, reasons, covenant, justice, decree, decree... These illusory concepts and words actually have no meaning, but because we all act on the 'feeling', they have become rules, morality, and have weight, pressing on us all the time."

"Why did Lu Zhizheng have to die in the turmoil? Why can't I send Mr. Ding to a journey directly? Because interests are important, righteousness and kindness are also indispensable. People will instinctively pursue interests, but people are also kind-hearted - because they know that kindness and morality are greater interests."

"Only interests and no great righteousness, the result is that everyone is betrayal of relatives, just like Ding Shi who fought against the rule of Lu; only righteousness and no good interests are just idealists chasing dreams and bubbles, just like the Baiye Rebellion Party; only by taking into account both the righteousness and the interests can we gain the will of the people and support them all."

"It's so troublesome." Yin Guyue sighed: "Can't it be simpler?"

"You think we are taking a long way, but in fact we are already taking shortcuts." Lan Yan smiled and said, "Smart is our tool. When you master this tool skillfully and take into account both interests and kindness, you will find the shortcut to this world - a conspiracy."

"Gu Yue, you'd better adapt to the rules of the game as soon as possible. Only after adapting to the rules can you take advantage of the loopholes in the rules and win the game... because the next game is not a small place like the Statistics Department, but a Linhaijun."

Yin Guyue blinked: "Do I want to go to Linhaijun too?"

Lan Yan: "Of course, you have to be my deputy next."

Yin Guyue shrugged: "Your previous deputy died just now at my hands... Why did you choose me? You obviously have so many candidates who respect and obey you, not to mention that you don't trust me."

Lan Yan smiled slightly.

"Looking is the most distant feeling from understanding. Moreover, you said it wrong, I trust you very much."

"As long as I don't fall down, you will always be my most powerful and loyal subordinate."

Speaking of this, Lan Yan sighed softly: "Originally, Deputy Director Kui could actually gain my trust, but it's a pity that he is not rational enough and he still has weaknesses."

Lan Yan's voice was approachable and his words were quite gentle and modest, but for some reason, Yin Guyue could only feel a chill from his bone marrow.

He was not in a playful mood at this time, and reported: "Kuizhao is dead, and the relics of the saint were taken away by your trader."

Lan Yan nodded without comment, Yin Guyue asked again: "Are you sending out the Extreme Divine Soldier like this? Among the many Extreme Divine Soldiers, the relics of the Saint should be regarded as the only weapon close to the level of the Phantom God Soldier, right?"

"Don't care too much about the benefits you failed to succeed, it's just the illusion of the mirror flower and water moon." Lan Yan shook his head: "Lu Zhizheng has expressed his attitude. He will not let us obtain the relics of the saints, and forcibly obtaining them can only attract suspicion... Why do we have to let our father-son love be covered with dust for a mere instrument?"

Father-son love... Yin Guyue blinked: "Director, do you want to be the son-in-law of Lu Zhizheng?"

"It may be a son-in-law or an adopted son." Lan Yan said calmly: "The tradition of aristocratic families... If there is no such relationship, how could Lu Zhizheng feel at ease to allow me to take charge of the Linhai Army?"

"People always wishfully believe that blood, morality, closeness, and human nature can become powerful shackles, which is also the rule of the game... If you want to become a chess piece in the game, you have to wear these shackles and dance."

Yin Guyue asked, "Then...will your trader let go like that?"

"It's enough to search normally. At night, you can't be his opponent. He must have left Xingke County before dawn."

Lan Yan suddenly remembered something: "Is Qian Yuliu dead?"

"Probably dead."

"What a pity, I thought he had hope to be my deputy."

Yin Guyue felt very strange: "But doesn't he also value love and friendship? It seems that it doesn't match your requirements?"

"My request is not to be cruel and ruthless, but... how to say it?" Lan Yan suddenly looked at Yin Guyue: "I think he looks quite like you."

Yin Guyue pulled the corner of her mouth: "I can't laugh at this sentence. You have said before that I look very similar to Kuizhao."

"I'm not joking. You both have a temperament that is far away from the world, as if you have been watching the world coldly, without being bound by any shackles..."

Lan Yan suddenly closed his mouth, shook his head and smiled, "Sorry, I seem to have said too many boring words. You go and do it."

Yin Guyue also felt that he had said some boring words, so she left the study after hearing this.

When he passed by the atrium, he found that the operators piled firewood and other flammable materials in the main hall, so he walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"The director ordered us to burn this main hall." The operators replied.

"Why?" Yin Guyue looked at the closed door of the main hall and strode over.

"I heard that it can't be used anymore...Captain Yin, please don't!" The operators quickly advised: "Captain Yin, the director said it's best not to open the door of the main hall!"

Hearing this sentence, Yin Guyue became even more curious and took away the lantern of the operator next to her: "I'll take a look."

He stood in front of the main hall and listened with his ears. He didn't notice any movement inside. He gently pushed open a crack in the door and brought the lantern over to illuminate the scene in the main hall.

However, before Yin Guyue could see anything, the smell that came to his nose had already caused cells all over his body to protest, and his stomach was spasm.

After he saw clearly the scene inside the main hall, Yin Guyue instantly closed the crack in the door, ran outside with a pale face and breathed the fresh night air, waved his hand to the other operators and said, "According to the commander of the director, burn this house directly. Don't open the door to see."

It was a very wise decision to burn this house. Yin Guyue could judge with her rich experience by taking a look that even if she cleaned the main hall several times, the smell of blood inside would never be dissipated.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what Lan Yan said just now.

‘People always wishfully believe that blood, morality, closeness, and human nature can become powerful shackles.’

If Lu Zhong saw the scene in the main hall, would he still think that his shackles could bind Lan Yan? Yin Guyue couldn't help but smile, stretched and went to complete his work.

He had a premonition that he would never be bored with Lan Yan's days.

...

...

Shiba Street.

"Tooth, hemorrhoids, iron-beating" The clinic was naturally closed, and the basement was in chaos. Yin Yin hid his escape supplies very tightly. It was too troublesome to take them out normally. Leyu pushed all the cabinets directly, rummaging through the cabinets, and was too lazy to delay with him.

Leyu loses temper.jpg

Yin Yin was naturally ready to leave Xingke County. Leyu could not stay in Xingke County at present. Whether it was Leyu or Yinyin, they both felt that this city under the control of Lan Yan was definitely not a place to stay for a long time. Even if Leyu had a good impression of Lan Yan, she still felt that this was the case.

When he was flipping through the cabinet, Leyu discovered a gorgeous box with tight seals. He flirted with Yin Yin's memory and realized that this was a reward.

Bai Ye rewards them.

According to the plan, if they succeed in winning the city, such a huge contribution will naturally be rewarded, so Bai Ye directly sent the rewards in advance. These rewards are not items that can enhance combat power in a short period of time, but they all have some meaning to the White Night Walkers.

Yin Yin naturally would not do such a lack of common sense behavior as ‘demolition reward in advance’, and Leyu didn’t mind this at all. With the ten-game mentality of ‘maybe we can open something useful’, Leyu opened the box.

Everything inside is filled with bags with code names, for example, Wang Zongdao's reward is the "Star Moon" bag. Unexpectedly, this ordinary middle-aged man's code name is quite Sailor Moon. The thing inside is a string of purple-scented wood bracelets.

Qi Shihao's reward is a few pages of the manuscript experience of "Master Yi". Master Yi is the master of sword-holding and fighting skills three hundred years ago. His experience is naturally out of date in this era, but it seems that many people regard this blind master as an idol, and Qi Shihao should also be his fan.

Ling Yun’s reward is a new book, titled "The Legend of the God of Fire: Sixth Chapter of Epics", and Leyu has heard this. "The Legend of the God of Fire" is a very popular hot-blooded warrior novel in Yanjing area. Xingke County only has the first volume of this book. It is a story about a young man who is born to be unable to awaken his mental power and working hard to become the strongest warrior. The most famous sentence in it is "I want to become a warrior, even the most crappy and stupidest warrior - as long as he is a warrior, it's fine." Unexpectedly, Ling Yun is also a reader of this book. "The Legend of the God of Fire: Sixth" should be the latest volume of this book.

An Qian's reward is a set of... white dresses. The fabric quality is very good. Leyu took it out and gestured for a while. It felt that it should be in line with An Qian's "high" and "big" figure. Although Leyu had never seen An Qian wear such female clothes, he thought about it and thought that An Qian would be very beautiful in this dress.

After flipping through the music for a while, I finally saw the envelope of "Meteor" - which is the reward for Qian Yuliu.

A sealed appointment notice, and a medal.

Because Qian Yuliu has always served as a one-way contact between spies and contacts, Qian Yuliu has no record in the Baiye organization. This appointment and removal letter officially announced that Qian Yuliu is the White Night Walker in the Baiye organization, and the medal engraved with the "Meteor" can prove Qian Yuliu's achievements.

There are two spaces that require signature on the appointment notice, namely the "guarantor" and the "inspector". Both spaces are filled with names. The former is "Lin Jinyao" and the latter is "yinyin".

Leyu read for a while and put the notice and medal back into the envelope.

The last reward is the envelope codenamed "Zhaoxing".

This is a reward for Yin Yin.

Leyu couldn't help but feel a little curious. When he opened the envelope, he found a stack of information inside. The content of the long speech seemed inexplicable. He knew every word Leyu, but he couldn't understand it if he combined it.

Turning to the last page, Leyu finally understood what the content of this manuscript was written-

"…According to past data and research, and following the above thirteen methods, it is very likely that the binding effect of the saint's relics will be removed without harming the original holder."

Leyu was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth kept twitching, and she couldn't help but smile. Finally, she couldn't help but cover her stomach and rolled around in the messy basement. Her abdominal muscles were laughing so hard that she laughed.
Chapter completed!
