"Hehe, it's really bothering Lord Hou and Mrs."

The man touched his chin and smiled.

It was Xu Zhijie.

During the day, because Xu Zhijie was worried that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's stay too long would arouse the suspicion of Mo Juqi and Yu Zeshi, he had not had the opportunity to discuss with them in detail how the operation would be deployed.

However, time is urgent, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is about to start, and this matter must be agreed as soon as possible, so Gu Panxi came up with a way to ensure that he and Xu Zhijie can discuss the action plan safely and securely, but they will not be noticed by Mo Juqi.

Since Mo Juqi and Yu Zeshi were keeping an eye on Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's movements, so that the two of them could not be too ostentatious, then Gu Panxi simply did the opposite, they couldn't go to Xu Zhijie, so let Xu Zhijie come to them.

During the day, Gu Panxi found that Xu Zhijie and Zhao Zhong were similar in shape, so a plan came up in his mind.

This strategy is not complicated, in a word, it is to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix.

Approaching the curfew, Gu Panxi and Shi Feiqing left Longfeng Restaurant with a group of people with great fanfare, claiming to have supper, but in fact, it was to meet Xu Zhijie, who was dressed up in disguise and secretly infiltrated Jinling City. As soon as the two sides met, Xu Zhijie and Zhao Zhong, who were similar in size, immediately changed their clothes.

Xu Zhijie pretended to be Zhao Zhong, mixed in with Gu Panxi and Shi Feiqing, and returned to Fenglai Restaurant with them. And Zhao Zhong left Jinling City in the dark, went to Xu Zhijie's mansion, and pretended to be Xu Zhijie.

Xu Zhijie has full confidence that there will be no traitors among the soldiers he has personally trained. And Zhao Zhong usually speaks little because of his stammering, Xu Zhijie pretends to be him and mixes in the group, even if he doesn't speak, it won't be weird. Under these two major premises, the plan that Gu Panxi came up with to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix finally went smoothly, and it did not arouse the attention of Mo Juqi's eyeliner in Fenglai Restaurant at all.

The rest is much simpler. As long as the two sides complete the negotiations, as soon as the curfew is lifted and the curfew is opened as soon as the curtain is lifted tomorrow, and the curfew is opened, Xu Zhijie and Zhao Zhong will exchange their identities back, then everything will be worry-free.

"Ah, tonight's supper was a real treat. Jinling City is really a good place, singing and dancing, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and there are so many fun and delicious things~ Alas, I don't want to leave. ”

While saying this, Gu Panxi quickly wrote a sentence on Gu Yuefei's codex: In case the wall has ears, the general soldier, we will talk with pen and paper.

Xu Zhijie read it, nodded solemnly, and then took the codex and began to write hard.

Shi Feiqing smiled and said, "Panxi, if you like Jinling City, why don't we stay for a few more days?" ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. As long as you are willing, no matter how long you stay in Jinling City, you are willing to accompany your husband. ”

Gu Panxi was with Shi Feiqing, you covered up with a word, and kept glancing at the others at the table.

The others immediately understood, and immediately agreed, muttering words such as "Yes, yes, Jinling is so fun", helping Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi to cover up, creating the illusion that they were really just gossiping in the room.

The whole process lasted until the end of the first half of the night.

Fortunately, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his party took over the same floor and the same side of Fenglai Restaurant

so as long as they keep the volume down appropriately, it will not disturb other residents, attract complaints, and cause the discussion to be interrupted.

The results of the negotiations were also satisfactory. Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi finalized a feasible basic plan with Xu Zhijie.

The two sides agreed that the time of action would be set at the climax of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, that is, the moment when the candidate for the top of the Oiran was announced.

The reason why this node was chosen is because in order to contribute to the atmosphere, there will be a large number of bands beating gongs and drums at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and at the same time, the audience watching the Hundred Flowers Banquet will also applaud again and again.

At this time, the gongs and drums shook the sky, the voices were boiling, and the sound was deafening. This can not only attract the attention of Mo Juqi and Yu Zeshi, as well as their guards, but also cover up the sound of Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's actions.

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his party needed to seize this point in time, take a small boat to quickly approach Yu Zeshi's official ship, and then use muskets to fire a salvo to knock down the guards on the side of his official ship, break a bloody road, rush onto the boat, and subdue Zeshi.

According to custom, Xu Zhijie would accept Yu Zeshi's invitation to watch the Hundred Flowers Banquet with him on his official ship. Although Xu Zhijie could only bring two of his relatives on board, he patted his chest and assured that he was confident enough to cooperate with Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi to ensure the success of this operation.

Once the operation is successful, Xu Zhijie will send out a call and ask his carefully selected 100 personal soldiers to enter Jinling City to control the situation in the name of maintaining order at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. These 100 pro-soldiers were already the largest number he could mobilize without using the talisman.

The reason why Yu Zeshi was chosen as the goal and did not choose Mo Juqi was the result of Gu Panxi's full consideration.

After all, Yu Zeshi is the prefect of Jinling, with a high position and power, and he will be pulled into the water by Mo Juqi, but he is just a desire for profit. As far as Zeshi is concerned, as long as Shi Feiqing guarantees in the name of the Marquis of Leshan, only deducts him from the charge of accepting bribes, and then deducts all the charges of raising private soldiers and misappropriating the flood control budget to Mo Juqi, he will not be beheaded, and the final outcome will be at most to be deprived of his official position, fined a part of the dirty silver, and then sit in prison for three or five years.

Three or five years, it's too easy. I don't know if he doesn't have to wait for these three or five years, he will meet the new emperor to ascend the throne, give amnesty to the world, and be released from prison ahead of schedule. At this time, Yu Zeshi held the silver taels he had saved from his previous greed, and found a place with beautiful scenery, so that he could be a rich man happily, why not be happy?

Moguic is different. He was originally a small citizen in the market, with nothing, relying on speculation and military risk, so that he has today's wealth and status. He knows very well that once he is arrested, he will definitely end up miserable, and people like this, when they think that they have no way out, they will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, wanting to seize the last chance to follow Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi and Xu Zhijie.

Under the balance of these two aspects, it is obvious that it is far more appropriate to choose Yu Zeshi as the target than to choose Mo Juqi as the target.

Although Yu Zeshi could not be allowed to accept the punishment he deserved for all the crimes he committed, he could only be charged with accepting bribes, which made Gu Panxi feel unwilling. But after she talked to Shi Feiqing and Xu Zhijie in detail, she realized that this might be the best result they could achieve.

Because of Xu Zhijie, there has never been a way to get evidence of Yu Zeshi's crimes involving raising private soldiers and misappropriating the flood control budget.

To prove that it is easy for Yu Zeshi to be greedy for ink, he is a court official, and he has a lot of money

Shao is clearly and well-documented, and when he compares the gap between his actual property and his income, he is at a loss for words. However, it is difficult to grasp the embezzlement of silver taels from the flood control budget and the maintenance of private soldiers.

Yu Zeshi is not stupid, after all, he is an old fox who has been trained in officialdom for many years, even if he is so hot-headed that he has done these evil things, he also knows that he has left a way back for himself, and he has tried his best to get rid of the relationship between himself and raising private soldiers. As for the misappropriation of the flood control budget, it is a big deal for him to directly use his greedy wealth to fill the vacancy, and he will be able to fool him out.

In other words, even if Gu Panxi was determined to make Yu Zeshi admit all the crimes, there was really no evidence.

Under this premise, instead of taking pains to lead this action to a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken, it is better to sell Yu Zeshi a favor and make him a tainted witness, and cooperate with Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi and Xu Zhijie to take down the cancer of Mo Juqi.

This is a real-world game, and naturally all conditions must be fully considered. Gu Panxi asked himself, he couldn't be a hot-headed white lotus, ignoring the actual situation and demanding a perfect result.

The plan of action was agreed, whether it was Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi, or Xu Zhijie, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they were finally able to relax temporarily and go back to their rooms to sleep.

This night, Gu Panxi slept very sweetly. She wanted to have a rare opportunity, so she entered the world of dreams, chatted with Xing'er, and shared with her the fun of playing in Jinling City.

Early the next morning, Xu Zhijie hurriedly exchanged identities with Zhao Zhong, left Jinling City, and returned to his mansion, with the two relatives who were about to follow him on the ship, and the 100 personal soldiers who wanted to cooperate with their actions and enter Jinling City to stabilize the situation, and explain the situation of the operation.

Zhao Zhong naturally returned to Fenglai Restaurant smoothly. This trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix was not noticed by Mo Juqi's eyeliner at all.

There is still one day before the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Liu Qingyan, Zhao Zhong, Liuchuan and Gu Yuefei, under the instruction of Gu Panxi, continued to wander in Jinling City. Because according to what Xu Zhijie said, Mo Juqi and Yu Zeshi also arranged 200 people, dressed in casual clothes, scattered in Jinling City as secret sentinels. Gu Panxi asked them to find out as much as possible the distribution of these plainclothes secret whistles.

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi went to the bank of the Qinhuai River to rent the boat to be used for the day's operation. Of course, the reason for renting a boat on their face is naturally not suspicious, and the cruise ship visited the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

The part that Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and their party were responsible for in the operation was to rush at high speed, clear the obstacles, and then board the boat to assist Xu Zhijie in subduing Yu Zeshi. This requires that the ships they lease should not be too large, otherwise it will be difficult to accelerate the advance; At the same time, it should not be too small, otherwise it will be easily intercepted by the guards around Yu Zeshi's official ship.

In addition, this boat also needs to have enough carrying capacity to allow all seven people in their group to sit on it, otherwise they will sit in several boats, which will not only arouse suspicion, but also increase the number of targets, and easily expose their tracks.

Mu Wanwan was sent by Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi to linger in the Qinglou, try her luck, and see if she could find out any useful news about Yu Zeshi or Mo Juqi from the mouths of those pleasure-seeking guests and girls in the Qinglou.

This time Japan came quite smoothly, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and their entourage each completed what they had to do, and returned to Fenglai Restaurant to meet each other, ready to communicate with each other. But an unexpected person caught them off guard.
