Zi Yan looked at Du Juan in shock. She finally understood what was wrong with Du Juan.
The cuckoo in front of me seemed to have become more confident and more opinionated than before.
It is a well-known fact that the Saint Maiden faction and the Leader faction are at odds with each other, but on the surface everyone at least has to maintain a situation where everyone is happy.
And even if they don't get along, that's the business of the top management. When is it your turn as a maid to make trouble here?
Although Zi Yan was not quite sure what had happened during this period, she was very clear that this was not a good sign.
If those in lower positions lose their respect for those in higher positions, there will be big problems with the entire organizational structure.
Today, Dujuan dared to say that the leader was unfair, so she replaced the leader. Then tomorrow, if the saint does things that do not meet the wishes of Dujuan and others, will Dujuan and others also replace her as the saint?
Why is it that when two countries are at war and one captures the other's royal city, the general who captured the city has no right to decide the life or death of the king of the destroyed country?
The reason is the same as above. Even if a king of a destroyed country is still a king, only another king can decide his life or death.
If anyone dares to interfere in other people's affairs, he will be committing a serious taboo and his own king will not forgive him.
So Zi Yan immediately scolded him harshly: "You bastard, when is it your turn to meddle in the affairs of the Holy Church's leaders? Get out of here, and I'll slap you twenty times!"
Dujuan's expression froze. She opened her mouth to say something, but finally held back.
"yes!"
Du Juan turned around and was about to go down to receive the punishment, but Zi Yan spoke again at this time: "Wait a minute, when I left before, didn't I ask you to record Lu Chen's words and deeds? Send your records here, I want to check them."
"yes!"
"Also, I'm planning to host a banquet for Liu Kang tonight. I want to have a good talk with him about Lu Chen's problem. Go find some of your trusted men and disguise them as swordsmen and ambush on both sides of the hall. If we can reach an agreement, that's fine. But if not, I'll smash the cup as a signal, and you guys will rush out and chop him into a pulp!"
"yes!"
Looking at Du Juan's leaving back, Zi Yan didn't know why, but a layer of gloom suddenly covered her heart.
At the same time, Liu Kang was not idle either.
He and his people had just settled in when someone led in a man dressed as a farmer.
After seeing the other person, Liu Kang nodded and said, "Are you Du Shitou?"
The visitor bowed and said, "My name is Du Shitou. I wonder if this nobleman has brought any token of trust?"
"How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to the young master like that? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow!"
The people around Liu Kang scolded him and wanted to step forward and push Du Shitou to the ground.
"Okay, we haven't gained his trust yet, and his attitude is already very polite." Liu Kang spoke to stop his men, and at the same time reached into his arms and took out half a jade pendant and handed it to Du Shitou.
After Du Shitou took the jade pendant, he fished out another half of it from his pocket. After comparing the two, he nodded and said, "Why did the headquarters send you here so late?"
"How dare you question the decision made by the leader and the great elder?"
Scolded once again by the people around Liu Kang, Du Shitou frowned and said, "I just think you're a little late. You've seen the changes in the Yangzhou branch. If you had come any later, you probably wouldn't have needed to come."
Liu Kang waved his hand, signaling his men to be quiet. He smiled and said to Du Shitou, "Brother Du, you've been in the Yangzhou branch for quite some time, right? What do you think of the Saint Maiden's control over the Yangzhou branch?"
Du Shitou thought for a moment and said, "If the Saint Lady had not gone to the headquarters to report on her work, I would say that she had a strong control over the Yangzhou branch. She had people in many important positions."
"But now that she's returned from the Holy Church, it's hard to say how much control she still has over the Yangzhou branch."
Liu Kang was overjoyed at these words. He opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap, fanned it twice in a showy manner, and then closed it again. He said with a smug look on his face, "You see, that's why the Saint Maiden's faction is just floating duckweed, with no foundation at all. The brothers in the Yangzhou branch are still loyal to the leader."
"Now that I've arrived at the Yangzhou branch, the people there have begun to shift their stance towards us. This is the best proof."
"Brother Du, let me be frank with you. My main mission in coming to the Yangzhou branch this time is to bring Lu Chen back to the headquarters. However, through communicating with Zi Yan along the way, I found that she has no intention of letting him go. This is very troublesome."
"I reckon Zi Yan will probably confront me tonight. Contact some trustworthy brothers and have them come to the banquet with me, swords and axes in hand. Once I smash the wine glass in my hand, you can just rush over and chop that witch Zi Yan into a pulp!"
Du Shitou thought about it, and finally said nothing. He just bowed and left.
After Du Shitou left, Liu Kang's men came up and whispered, "Master, is this man trustworthy?"
Liu Kang fanned himself triumphantly and said, "Don't worry. His family's lives are in our hands. No one is more reliable than him. You should also prepare yourself. We will take over the Yangzhou branch tonight!"
Neither Zi Yan nor Liu Kang had expected that after Du Juan and Du Shitou left them, they would go to find Lu Chen at the same time.
At this moment, Lu Chen was chatting with someone. The other person was Liu Kang's entourage, who had entered the Yangzhou branch with Liu Kang today.
