She couldn't tell him that she wanted to go look for him, so she asked, "Well... I heard the village chief is back?"
Helian Sheng didn't expect her to be so concerned about such a thing. After he took her to the stone table in front of the yard and sat down, he said, "Well, you're back."
Then he continued, "The man in black robe is dead. The village chief killed him. The grudge between them is now settled."
Duan Qingxi asked, "Then why did the second in command also die?"
"He is an undercover agent left there by the man in black robe."
"……I see."
After a while, Duan Qingxi asked again, "So, what are you going to do with the village chief and those bandits?"
Helian Sheng glanced at her and was initially somewhat dissatisfied with her concern for these people.
But when he saw the earnestness in her wet eyes, that look that seemed to care for the world, his heart trembled.
Unable to resist, he continued, "Since those bandits have chosen to surrender, I am naturally willing to give them a chance to mend their ways. Moreover, if it weren't for the treacherous ministers in power and the emperor being far away and unable to help them in time, they wouldn't have taken this path."
"Constructing the canal is also extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, one can easily lose their lives. I will now give them a chance to make amends. If they can complete these projects alive, I will restore their civilian status and never pursue any further action."
"As for the elderly, the weak, women, and children, although they have always stayed in the village, they have never done anything harmful to the world. The children have read some books and understand the principles of the world. They are all very sensible and naturally do not need to be punished."
"As for the village chief, the third and fourth in command... I have other plans, but they are being held in custody for now."
Duan Qingxi asked, "Where's Xu Xuan?"
"He was the newly appointed magistrate of several neighboring towns. He is honest and loyal, and deserves praise. However, as a magistrate, he was taken to a mountain stronghold by bandits, which brought disgrace to the court. He should be punished. This will offset the damage. I will let him go back and govern his own land. If he achieves something in the future, I will promote him."
Duan Qingxi blinked and found that this man was really extraordinary.
Every decision made seems to be well thought out, and the key is that there is absolutely no fault to be found.
She even thought that if such a person became emperor, the world would be prosperous and peaceful!
It’s a pity that there is already a crown prince. If nothing unexpected happens to the crown prince, he can only be a virtuous prince.
"Even if it's your Highness, the moon waxes and wanes. Being second only to one man and above ten thousand seems like a good choice..."
"What?"
Duan Qingxi spoke too softly, Helian Sheng could only hear half of her but not the other half, and had no idea what she was saying.
Duan Qingxi came back to his senses, chuckled twice, and then said, "Let's make a deal. You give me the Fourth Master!"
Thinking of what she said in the village, Helian Sheng's face suddenly turned ugly.
"What do you want him to do?!"
"it works!"
"No! He is a criminal and must be escorted back to Beijing!"
“…” It would be strange if Duan Qingxi believed his lies!
After a pause, she said, "Helian Sheng, do you still remember the three conditions you promised me before? The first condition is that I want the fourth boss Xu Rong!"
Helian Sheng: ...
Perhaps he could no longer find any reason to refute her. The man was very angry. Without saying another word, he snorted coldly, stood up and left.
Duan Qingxi was stunned by that look.
Just go, and tell me whether you will give it to others or not!
