Pan Shulin then realized that this Ning'an City belonged to him, Xining. It would be easy for him, the city lord, to take revenge on someone. He, Xining, was not Xi Yao. Xining had worked hard to become the city lord. He had thousands of shameful ways and means to deal with anyone.
Pan Shulin was now extremely grateful that he had acted prudently and carefully in the past, without any mistakes, and had not let the city lord Xining find out that he had dealt with Xi Yao, otherwise his fate would have been even worse than Zhao Xiang's.
However, he is not in a good situation now. If he is caught by Xining, he will be in a miserable state.
Pan Shulin was distracted, and saw the attendant staring at him and said, "My master said he knew you had plotted against him before. He knew about the boys in the attic delivering the letter, and you instigated him to kill those boys to silence them."
"…" Pan Shulin pursed her lips: "So now you know, tell me what you want to tell me?"
The attendant took a look at what Zhao Xiang wrote and said, "Young Master said that we should deal with the Xi family together first. As for these, you need to pay them back with money."
This man really loves money like his life.
Pan Shulin felt relieved: "If we can get through this, the money issue will be easy. You want to deal with the Xi family, but they are the city lord. How can I deal with them?"
Zhao Xiang shook his head and wrote another paragraph. The attendant read it and said, "The young master said that in addition to us, there is also the entire Zhao family."
"?" Pan Shulin was stunned. Does this mean that Zhao Yu is going to rebel
"Did your father agree?" Pan Shulin asked.
The attendant said, "The Master said he would agree."
Pan Shulin lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "But even if all the guards of the Zhao family were added together, they might not be able to move the city lord."
The attendant said, "I have already inquired about these. Cheng Li sent people to look for Xi Yao before, but many orcs have not returned yet. Now he is punished to face the wall. Although Cheng Bai is powerful, he has never taken care of the orc guards of the Cheng family. They are not to be feared. Now the orcs in the city are like a pile of loose sand. Zhao Qi does not have many people under him, and the two Shang Hall Masters have not returned yet. If we deal with the loose sand and Zhao Qi's people, we can win."
"But there's also my brother's." Pan Shulin said.
Zhao Xiang and her attendants were silent, and Pan Shulin suddenly understood Zhao Xiang's purpose in saving him.
Inside the palace.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Shan said, "Father, what Xiang'er said a few days ago was not without reason."
"We have been making such preparations, and now the city's guards are the most lax. If we want to accomplish this, now is the best time."
"I thought about it when Xiang'er mentioned it to us a few days ago." Zhao Yu said, "But I calculated that we can't win unless someone holds Pan Yue back."
Zhao Shan said: "Pan Shulin just escaped."
"?" Zhao Yu was puzzled, Zhao Shan lowered his voice and said, "Xiang'er said before that we can find Pan Shulin to join forces if we want to succeed, but my father and I both felt that Pan Shulin would not follow us to start a rebellion because of his father and brother and his status, so we stopped Xiang'er. But now Pan Shulin is a desperate criminal with nothing. If he doesn't cooperate with us, he will have nothing. I guess Xiang'er will definitely take action at this time."
Zhao Shan approached Zhao Yu and said in an inaudible voice: "If Pan Shulin helps, Pan Yue can be controlled."
