"Alright, my beloved ministers, I have already begun the court session. Do any of you have any important matters to report during today's court meeting?"
Looking at the live stream camera, Xu Lu, lying on a single sofa, asked a question lazily.
The fans in the live stream started to criticize this guy for shamelessly calling himself "Imperial" (朕).
[Holy crap, this kid's getting more and more outrageous! Yesterday he was just a county magistrate, now he's acting like an emperor!]
[Yes, that streamer is really awful. Yesterday he called us commoners, today he calls us his subjects...]
[The streamer must be so bored, spending all day doing nothing, he's practically atrophying from lying around!]
[Hey anchor, do you even remember you're an actor? What's the point of acting in front of us? Go get some roles!]
[Exactly, whether he plays a county magistrate or an emperor in a live stream, it doesn't really matter...]
...
Despite the 'taunts' from the viewers in the live stream, Xu Lu remained unfazed and continued to joke around:
"Since none of you ministers have anything to report, I will adjourn the court today. Don't try to stop me..."
Fortunately, a fan with the ID 'Feiyu Tangchao' left a comment at this moment:
[Don't go, Your Majesty! I have important matters to report!]
This comment immediately sparked outrage among the other fans:
[Who? Who on earth colluded with this streamer to stage this whole thing today? You've really ruined our plans!]
[Exactly! We were all determined not to stop the shameless streamer, but we didn't expect there were still bad people among the crowd.]
[If you don't give a clear explanation for what happened today, you're not leaving!]
[Your Majesty, this Fei Yu fellow from the Tang Dynasty is a treacherous minister! Today we must purge the court of his corrupt advisors...]
...
Other fans who wanted to teach Xu Lu a lesson were frustrated, but Xu Lu was happy.
He gestured with his hand and said with a smile:
"My dear Minister Feiyu, permission is granted!"
Your Majesty, do you still remember the Shanghai elevated highway bridge pile incident that was discussed in the live broadcast a couple of days ago?
When I reported this matter that day, the bridge pier could not be driven in from either side. Your Majesty had given the imperial approval at that time...
Although it felt a little awkward, Tang Yu took the opportunity to bring it up.
That's right!
He took on a task from the director.
So, although it was somewhat shameful to impersonate 'this humble subject' at this moment, I had no choice but to take the plunge for the sake of the mission.
Upon seeing this fan's comment, Xu Lu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Indeed, I said that place had strange feng shui and that we needed to find a master to resolve the crisis."
"My dear Feiyu, has something changed in this matter? What does it have to do with you? Confess the truth!"
Tang Yu on the other side quickly posted a comment:
[Your Majesty, I am indeed one of the researchers involved in the overpass incident... Later, the person in charge found Master Wu of Jingang Temple.]
After a ritual was performed, the bridge piers could indeed be driven in, but Master Wu passed away that very night after returning to the mountain…
By this time, the other fans in the live stream had also noticed something:
[No way, did they really hire a master to perform a ritual on that elevated highway in Shanghai?]
Is it true? Did Master Wu really pass away because of that ritual?
Do you guys remember what the streamer said back then? That the 'backlash' of doing this would be very serious...?
So, does the streamer really understand feng shui?
...
When Xu Lu heard that Master Wu had passed away after returning to the mountain, he was quite surprised.
But when he thought about the information he had seen about the topography and geography of Shanghai's elevated highways that day, he felt relieved.
The feng shui of that place is indeed quite extraordinary.
Even if you seek out Master Xu to resolve the issue, it's probably impossible to achieve your goal without paying any price.
It's simply that Xu Lu's skill is more profound... oh no, it's that his luck is stronger, so the price he needs to pay is less.
This is the backlash that must be suffered after forcefully altering the natural landscape.
While Xu Lu was lost in thought and sighing, Tang Yu on the other side was still 'reporting'.
However, what the other party said next surprised Xu Lu.
You want me to take care of it and guarantee that there won't be any problems with the overpass afterwards?
[Your Majesty, the construction team leader for the elevated highway project in Shanghai requests your assistance. The compensation is modest, only six figures...]
Before Xu Lu could even speak after hearing Tang Yu's words, the others in the live stream were already getting restless:
[No way? Inviting the streamer over... um, that doesn't seem very reliable!]
[While the streamer did mention the issues with the overpass, is he really capable of handling it?]
[A six-figure reward? Holy crap, invite me! When Master Gou makes a move, all demons and monsters will have to step aside!]
[I was just about to say that a six-figure reward is already a lot, and then... I thought about the streamer's net worth.]
Hahaha, indeed, for a streamer with a net worth of over 100 million, a few hundred thousand is really nothing.
Moreover, this matter sounds quite dangerous; didn't that Master Wu just pass away?
[Since it's so dangerous, the streamer shouldn't go!]
Some fans were concerned about Xu Lu's safety and directly tried to dissuade him.
Faced with the fans' comments, and looking at the words of 'Flying Feathers of Tang Dynasty', Xu Lu thought for a moment and said:
"Alright, alright, that's all for today's cosplay. Um, you there, I have a question."
