Only Li Hulun stood there grinning, with an expression that showed he was enjoying the fun.

Chapter 592: Gifting You a Pu Dao

Saihan surrendered.

There was no need for the demon king to stay at the scene any longer, so he asked the accountants to return to the king's tent and continue working on the accounting reform.

He said to Li Qingcha, "Marquis Wu Ding, you were able to solve the case so quickly and accurately. You probably didn't get enough rest in the past two days, did you? You don't need to come to the king's tent to watch over it these few days. Take a good rest."

There was a tone of certainty in his voice.

Li Qingcha understood,

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She is a monk, why does she need to rest?

But since the demon king said so, there is no reason to try to please someone who is not welcome.

Soon, people around the ruins of the North House fled in all directions.

Yujun was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Li Qingcha, why doesn't the king allow you to..."

Li Qingcha shook his head, signaling the fox demon girl not to ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "It's already noon, how about it? Do you want to treat me to a meal? I really miss that crispy lamb knee."

Speaking of cooking, the little fox chef was distracted.

She shook her head helplessly.

"No, oily bean curd skin is unique to your race, and we used it all up last time."

Suddenly, she clapped her hands.

"If you want to eat mutton, I have some green onions over there. How about stir-frying them for you? Miss Weili, come too. I'm sure you'll like it."

This girl really likes to cook.

Li Qingcha looked at Chi Weili.

The latter nodded.

So, they did not go in the direction of Ao Jingshan's camp, but followed Yuyun to her small tent.

After entering, the fox girl went into the kitchen and started working.

Chi Weili asked Li Qingcha,

"What do you think about what happened today?"

Li Qingcha asked back: "What do you mean?"

Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand!

Chi Weili rolled her eyes at him and was about to ask a few more questions when she heard a commotion outside. Then a maid rushed in from outside the tent and entered the kitchen.

Not long after, the fox demon girl came out from the kitchen and asked Li Qingcha: "Zuo Wang is here, saying that he is willing to accept the loss and give you the Pu Dao as a gift. Are you willing to deal with it?"

Li Qingcha asked her: "Do you mind?"

"Me? It doesn't matter. It's just a matter of cooking a little more."

"Well, let him come."

Yujun then arranged for a maid to go out and greet them.

King Zuo entered the tent.

As soon as he saw Li Qingcha, he burst into laughter.

Keng——

The broadsword was thrown towards Li Qingcha.

Li Qingcha lightly tapped the back of the Pudao with his right index finger, easily taking it off, and said sarcastically: "Your Highness Zuo Wang, do you want to kill someone?"

Li Hulun sat down opposite him, and without the help of a maid, he poured himself a glass of wine.

He drank a big bowl of it.

"readily!"

After that, put down the large bowl and continue to fill it up.

Li Qingcha said, "Lord Zuo, are you really going to give me the knife?"

Zuo Wang nodded.

"A man from the Holy Nation always keeps his word. Besides, you embarrassed the entire Fox Totem today. Didn't you see the expression on the Right King's face? Humph... I'm afraid this old fox is going to fall..."

As a result, before I could even utter the word "bad luck" in "unlucky", I heard a faint sound coming from the kitchen.

Emmm...

Like the sound of sharpening a knife.

Li Hulun:  ̄□ ̄||

Li Qingcha couldn't help but laugh.

"Aren't you afraid that Yujun will poison you?"

Li Hulun glared at her but said nothing.

Li Qingcha weighed the Pudao in his hand. It was extremely simple and ancient. Although it was not as exquisite as Liuguang's, it was made of solid materials and should have been made of a very rare ore.

Judging from this point alone, the cost of this knife should be similar to that of Liuguang.

The value of flowing light lies in the master craftsmanship;

The value of a Pudao lies in its raw material ore.

Li Qingcha said: "Are you really going to give it to me?"

Li Hulun was dissatisfied.

"What's true or false? A real man should stick to his words. Don't even think about being modest."

"But I didn't do everything you said."

"what?"

Li Hulun was a little confused.

Li Qingcha had no choice but to spread his hands.

"Indeed, I won the bet with the Right King and lost his face, that's true. But you have to understand that Saihan's imprisonment will not necessarily frustrate Fox Totem, nor will it necessarily cause the Right King and the Great King to fall out."

Li Hulun couldn't understand this.

He leaned forward.

"Speak more clearly."

"Well, let me just say this: I don't think the king will check the deficits in the accounts based on Saihan's confession."

"why?"

"This... I can only say that in the Holy Kingdom, because the power of each tribe is so complicated, the king is a leader of the alliance. He is not the power itself, but the leader of the power."

This sentence was not ambiguous, and Li Hulun certainly understood it.

He was lost in thought, drinking from a large bowl.

a long time,

"If you say so, isn't it the same for the emperors of your race? Isn't it the same idea to 'rule the world with the scholars and officials'?"

Li Qingcha smiled and did not refute.

Some systemic problems can only be fixed by simple mending like a paperhanger, even by a politician with extraordinary talent, but the root cause cannot be solved, and no one can do anything about it.

"..."

"..."

"..."

It was eerily quiet in the tent.

Li Hulun drank the wine in his bowl, poured another bowl, and then said, "What do you think the king will do? Not kill Saihan?"

Li Qingcha said: "I will kill you."

"Then... no trial?"

"There will be an investigation. But the king will not necessarily make the results of the investigation public. Instead, he will keep them in his hands secretly to consolidate his power."

When Li Hulun heard this, he couldn't help but spit.

He asked curiously: "How would you humans deal with this problem?"

Li Qingcha thought for a moment and said, "Master Chu will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"He can do that?"

"Of course. First, the selection of officials for the human race depends on the imperial examinations. After one batch is removed, there will be another batch. There is no need to worry about a gap in personnel. Second, the conflicts among the human race are conflicts between the various localities and the capital, which are far less acute than the conflicts between your totems. Third..."

"go on."

"Don't forget that Chu Daxueshi is a Confucian scholar with a noble character."

Li Hulun glanced at Li Qingcha and felt that the third point he mentioned was pure nonsense.

But in fact, when faced with some unexpected situations, the operation of the power structure does not depend on the inertia of the entire structure, but on the decisions of a few people, the so-called "character of the leader".

Chu Zhongtian has both the courage to "go forward even if there are thousands of people against me", and the ability to "be more treacherous than corrupt officials, and more treacherous than corrupt officials".

It was so easy for him to fire a few officials who had cooked the books.

Li Hulun drank the wine and sighed silently.

“It’s just quite boring.”

Li Qingcha smiled,

"Wu Fu, I don't understand."

"Yes, yes, I don't understand."

"Well, this machete has been with you for so many years, so I'll give it back to you. But I warn you, if you use this knife against humans again... hehe!"

Li Qingcha handed the knife over.

Li Hulun looked at her and didn't answer.

"I'll give it to you. I will never take it back. Besides, when you go to Shanyun to pay homage to Emperor Wuzong, this sword might give you courage~"

Li Qingcha was surprised.

"I want to go to Shanyun Wuzong? Why?"

"You...if the matter of Saihan really develops as you said, then I can conclude that you will be the best friend of Yun Wuzong."

"Stop playing dumb!"

"I learned this from you."

After saying that, Li Hulun drank the wine in the bowl and walked out of Yuyun's tent.

Chapter 593 The Real Case Closure

Saihan stretched out his right hand and touched the cold tent cloth.

The tent was very small, and the king forbade them to light a fire in it as a punishment, so they had to endure the bitter cold.

He turned sideways, trying to find a more comfortable position, but his right foot suddenly felt a sharp pain.

This was sprained when I was thrown into the tent.

My sprained foot is still hurting.

"hiss……"
