"Abandoned darkness for light? Not really. At most, I just told the truth." Luo Xi sat up straight and looked at him: "I heard that that corrupt official Du Hong asked you to find a way to arrest me?"
"Please, please stop being such corrupt officials!" Rong Bai felt a chill run down his spine the moment he heard those two words.
"Boss, you even know this?" he said somewhat sheepishly.
I feel like I was a bit silly before.
“Didn’t you say it yourself? There’s the Dream of the Red Chamber.” Luo Xi looked at him: “If you want to side with me, it wouldn’t be right if you didn’t offer something in return, would it?”
She touched her chin, then looked up and smiled: "How about this, you make a show of fighting Chaoyang Manor to the death on the surface, while secretly trying to fool that corrupt official to death."
"..." Rong Bai was stunned. He hadn't even noticed the "corrupt official." He remembered that when he spoke to the old man yesterday, he spoke very softly. How could the people in the Red Mansion hear him like that?
"Boss, could you please stop planting spies in my house?" he said resentfully. "You already know what I said last night? That's incredibly disrespectful."
Now it was Luo Xi's turn to be confused: "What are you talking about? No one from the Red Mansion sent me any messages yesterday."
Whether or not to keep watch depends on his performance.
If no message was passed on, then...they were thinking the same thing?
Rong Bai was delighted. He said that he had wondered why he thought the leader was so reliable. It turned out they were all the same kind of people.
It's easy to believe another version of yourself.
"I misunderstood," he chuckled. "But Boss, we're thinking the same thing."
"Birds of a feather flock together." He quickly seized the opportunity.
His skin was thicker than a city wall. Who was he family with? Luo Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him: "You'd better put on your disguise quickly and don't give yourself away, otherwise this idea will be useless."
"Don't worry." Rong Bai still smiled, but his hands started moving, and in a moment he turned into the dark-skinned Gu Heizi again.
Luo Xi and Liu Xiaoyu were both amazed.
"Your movements are quite skillful," said Luo Xi.
"Ha! This..." Rong Bai bowed his head and bent over, his face full of flattery, instantly transforming into Gu Heizi: "Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect."
"Then, Master, what is the antidote for this scoundrel?"
Don't forget this!
Luo Xi glanced at him, and readily agreed. She reached into her sleeve and pulled out a dark brown pill, which she then handed over.
Gu Heizi grinned so hard his gums were showing, and quickly took it.
My life is finally saved.
But the next moment, he heard Luo Xi say, "One every three months, you know what I mean?"
Gu Heizi: "..."
After he left, Liu Xiaoyu murmured in confusion, "Strange, why does this antidote look so much like the snacks that Ninth Master eats every day?"
Loxi said calmly, "It's not just similar, it is exactly like that."
“He wasn’t poisoned, so he doesn’t need any antidote,” she added.
Liu Xiaoyu: "..."
Its mouth has turned into an egg shape.
"Master, you're so naughty." She covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.
But as she laughed, she snorted coldly, "He got off too easy. He dared to disguise himself and deceive his master. You should have really drugged him to teach him a lesson."
Luo Xi smiled without saying a word: "Let's go see Yin Lifa's seed."
If Rong Bai hadn't suddenly pulled this stunt, she would have gone long ago. But... it was worth the time she spent.
From afar, Liu Xiaoyu was astonished: "Master, wow, so many people!"
A large square had been deliberately built in front of the warehouse to facilitate loading and unloading, but now it was packed with villagers, with no gaps to be seen.
"Master, we can't squeeze through."
Luo Xi frowned, looked around, and then looked towards the wall: "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll go take a look."
The team hasn't moved for a while, so she needs to go check what's going on.
After saying that, Rosie went around the wall and landed in front of the warehouse door.
After searching for a long time, they finally found Yin Li behind a table. At that moment, he was talking to a villager while taking notes.
There were five tables next to him, and behind them sat another person holding a calligraphy brush, one of whom was Zhou Cang.
There are only five people. No wonder the line has been moving for so long. How long will it take to get through?
Luo Xi walked over and patted Yin Li on the shoulder.
"Please wait a moment, let me finish writing down this old man's name first, then I'll write down yours. Let's do it one at a time." Yin Li thought he was a villager and explained patiently.
“Yin Li, it’s me.” Luo Xi patted him again.
Yin Li was startled and turned around: "Big, Big Boss?"
"It's you, Boss! Please forgive me, I was so busy I was completely overwhelmed."
The people at the very front of the line were stunned: That, that is the boss!
They quickly knelt down: "This humble commoner greets the chief."
As soon as the person in front knelt down, the people behind realized what was happening and quickly knelt down as well.
Seeing Luo Xi's kind expression, several people knelt on the ground and whispered among themselves, "The boss is so young, about the same age as my daughter."
"Yes, and he doesn't look like a bandit; he seems to have a very good temper."
“It’s definitely good. Didn’t you hear the village head say last night that she gave us these seeds for free?”
"Of course I heard about it, that's why I came to collect it. Although it's said that taxes will be paid later, the imperial court still has to pay them anyway, and the boss here collects even less."
"The imperial court? The imperial court doesn't have such miraculous seeds as our Chaoyang Manor. I've heard that even the private fields of the dog magistrate Rong Bai are now lying fallow."
"That corrupt official deserved it."
