The moonlight was like blood, splashing on the mottled stone road of the imperial city, like a broken picture, reflecting Li Shenglin's distorted and hideous face.

His face is like an iron stone carved by time, the wrinkles are as deep as a ravine in the mountains, and every inch of his skin is imprinted with the imprint of power and the wind and frost of time.

In the study, the lights are flickering, and the light and shadow are swaying. Just like his mood at the moment, there was indescribable anger and madness hidden in the darkness.

"Seventy-two shops, it's changed hands like this!" Li Shenglin's voice was low and terrifying, like a howl from the depths of hell, full of endless anger and despair.

His eyes, like two ghostly fires ignited by the flames of fury, flickered wildly, threatening to engulf the entire imperial city in his rage.

His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles white with anger, and he was about to crush the entire desk and chair in the study. Just when Li Shenglin was furious, in the corner of the study, a figure quietly appeared, it was Liu Qiansi.

He was dressed in a green shirt, his face was delicate, but there was a sly light in his eyes, and he looked at Li Shenglin with a smile.

The smile was full of disdain and mockery, as if he didn't care about Li Shenglin's anger and madness. Li Shenglin sneered, his eyes were like torches, and he approached Liu Qiansi: "Liu Qiansi, do you think I don't know that you are behind the ghost?" Seventy-two shops have changed hands, and you're all up for it! Liu Qiansi smiled slightly, shook her head, and said in a calm and calm tone: "Li Xiangguo, there must be evidence when you speak." Although I, Liu Qiansi, am a businessman, I am also a trustworthy person. I've never done anything to be sorry for you. Li Shenglin glared at Liu Qiansi angrily: "Evidence? Do you think I have no proof? The matter of the Tiansi Jade Silk Pavilion, do you think I don't know that you did it? When Liu Qiansi heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "That's just a business, why should Lord Li care so much?" His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he didn't care about Li Shenglin's anger.

Li Shenglin sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "A business? Liu Qiansi, do you think I don't know your ambitions? You want to control the commerce of the entire Imperial City, do you think I don't know? Liu Qiansi smiled slightly and shook her head: "Master Li, you misunderstood. I've never had such ambitions. I'm just a businessman who just wants to do my own business. Li Shenglin glared at Liu Qiansi angrily, as if he wanted to devour him alive: "You think I will believe your nonsense?" Liu Qiansi, I want you to know the fate of offending me Li Shenglin! Liu Qiansi smiled slightly: "Lord Li, why are you so angry? We've worked together before, can't you just give me a chance? His tone was full of provocation and ridicule, as if he was saying to Li Shenglin: "What can you do to me?" Li Shenglin sneered and continued: "Opportunity? Do you think I'm going to give you a chance? Liu Qiansi, you wait and see, I will make you pay! The atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense, and the conversation between the two was an invisible contest, full of gunpowder.

Liu Qiansi looked at Li Shenglin with a smile, like looking at a madman who was about to collapse. And Li Shenglin glared at Liu Qiansi angrily, wanting to break him into pieces.

Li Shenglin's heart was full of anger, he knew that this was not only a matter of seventy-two shops changing hands, but also a shake in his power and status.

He couldn't accept the fact that his power and wealth were easily taken away from him.

The endless anger and resentment in my heart will burn the whole world to ashes. However, Liu Qiansi was unmoved.

Li Shenglin's anger and madness are just a vent in his own heart, and they can't solve the problem at all.

Leaving the study, Liu Qiansi knew that Li Shenglin's anger and madness had reached the extreme, and he had to deal with it carefully.

As the night deepened, Liu Qiansi walked through the streets of the imperial city and came to Nangong Jian's mansion. Nangong Jian's mansion is located in a corner of the imperial city, quiet and elegant.

Liu Qiansi knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and Nangong Jian greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Qiansi, what's the important matter when you come to visit late at night?" Nangong Jian's voice was gentle and calm, as if everything was under his control.

Liu Qiansi smiled slightly and walked into the mansion: "Brother Nangong, I have something important to discuss." There was seriousness and nervousness in his tone.

The two came to Nangong Jian's study and lit the lamp. The study room is simply and elegantly furnished, with several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a pot of orchids on the desk, exuding a faint fragrance.

Liu Qiansi told Nangong Jian everything about Li Shenglin. After hearing this, Nangong Jian frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Li Shenglin is a person who leans towards the government and the opposition, and is ruthless. Once he starts to go crazy, the consequences are unimaginable. Liu Qiansi nodded: "What Brother Nangong said is extremely true. We have to come up with a countermeasure to meet Li Shenglin's challenge. Nangong Jian pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Brother Qiansi, I have a plan, maybe I can deal with Li Shenglin."

All he wanted was for the benefit of the seventy-two shops and for tax evasion not to be exposed. Seventy-two shops changed hands at the same time, such a thing, even if you and I are difficult to move, it is conceivable that the person who opposes him must have no less strength than him in the imperial city. Nangong Jian continued.

"So we can't touch the first point, if we touch it, it will be a catastrophe, and there will be no bones!"

"Shall we do the second point?" Liu Qiansi asked rhetorically. Nangong Jian nodded: "Exactly!" ”

"We want balance on the streets of the Imperial City, he just wants to breathe. The Prime Minister's Mansion will not collapse because of these seventy-two shops, but we can make a lot less money because it is not peaceful! Which is more important, presumably Brother Liu can also distinguish it. Liu Qiansi pondered for a moment and said, "Not bad! As long as we give Li Shenglin a reason to vent and let him take this breath and not sulk, that's fine! "There are many ways to get a man to vent.

It can be gold and silver jewelry, it can be wine, it can be a woman. Nangong Jian smiled slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Brother Qiansi, there is no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry and wine, Li Shenglin." Only a woman may be able to make him forget his troubles for a while. When Liu Qiansi heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes: "What does Brother Nangong mean?" Nangong Jian slowly spoke: "Let Li Shenglin temporarily forget his anger and madness in the gentle country of women, so as to buy us time." ”

"That Mrs. Liu...... Hehe, if it's inconvenient, forget it, Brother Liu didn't say it. A hint of thought flashed in Liu Qiansi's eyes, and he knew that Nangong Jian's proposal was not untargeted.

Mrs. Liu is indeed a good choice. She is not only beautiful and moving, but also smart and clever, which may really make Li Shenglin forget his anger and madness for a while.

Nangong Jian seemed to see Liu Qiansi's hesitation, he smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Qiansi, this matter is indeed a little difficult. But for now, we have no choice but to take the plunge. Although Madame Liu is in the Qinglou, I can see that she is a wise woman, and perhaps she can understand our troubles. Liu Qiansi took a deep breath and made up her mind in her heart.

Nangong Jian's proposal is the only solution at the moment. He couldn't let Li Shenglin's madness ruin the entire imperial city.

So, he nodded and said, "Brother Nangong, I will go talk to Mrs. Liu and see if she is willing to help." When Nangong Jian heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Brother Qiansi is really a responsible person." I believe that Mrs. Liu will understand our distress and be willing to help. On the morning of the second day, Liu Qiansi sat in the study, playing with a delicate jade cup in her hand, and her eyes flashed with contemplation.

Tsing Yi stood aside respectfully, waiting for Liu Qiansi's orders. Liu Qiansi spoke slowly, her voice revealing firmness and determination: "Tsing Yi, if you go to invite Mrs. Liu, just say that I have something important to discuss, and invite her to come to the Tiansi Jade Silk Pavilion for a banquet at noon." When Tsing Yi heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure and replied respectfully: "Yes, master." At noon, the Tiansi Jade Silk Pavilion was elegantly and exquisitely arranged, the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, and the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious and beautiful.

Liu Qiansi stood at the door, greeting Mrs. Liu's arrival. Mrs. Liu was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, her face was as delicate as a flower, but her eyes flashed with vigilance.

She smiled and nodded to Liu Qiansi and walked into the Tiansi Jade Silk Pavilion. Liu Qiansi smiled and stepped forward to lead Mrs. Liu to the banquet.

After the two of them sat down, Liu Qiansi raised her glass and toasted Mrs. Liu, her voice was gentle and calm: "Mrs. Liu, please come here today, there is really something important to discuss." Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, raised her glass and saluted: "Boss Liu is polite, if there is anything important, it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Qiansi took a deep breath and told Mrs. Liu everything about Li Shenglin.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's brows tightened and she fell into deep thought.

"Boss Liu, this matter is indeed tricky. Li Shenglin is power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, ruthless, and once he goes crazy, the consequences are unimaginable. Mrs. Liu spoke slowly:

"But I'm willing to try, maybe I can really make him forget about his anger and madness for a while." When Liu Qiansi heard this, her heart was full of gratitude, but she felt that something was wrong.

Mrs. Red Begonia Liu, a woman who once ruled the entire dry city of Zhenhai City, how could she be so easy to speak?

If she has a public heart, then everyone in the world is a saint! Liu Qiansi frowned, and her eyes stared sharply at Madame Liu, as if trying to spy on her true thoughts in her heart.

"Mrs. Liu, I admire your generosity and courage. But I must tell you frankly that Li Shenglin is an extremely dangerous person, and dealing with him is not a joke. Liu Qiansi's voice revealed a hint of seriousness.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she smiled coquettishly and gently shook the wine glass in her hand. The wine soup swayed in the glass, just like her mood at the moment, complex and elusive.

"Boss Liu, you and I are both understanding people, so there is no need to beat around the bush." She spoke slowly, revealing an indescribable coldness in her voice: "Didn't you invite me here today just to use me to contain Li Shenglin?" Since I dare to come, I naturally have my plans. ”
