After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

The King of Xiang looked at his own shadow and felt sorry for himself for a while, then adjusted his facial expression and began to lie with his eyes open: "I have been very busy recently and have not had time to send it to the palace. Yi'er, you know that I care about the world and the people. I am always busy with things every day, and I have very little time to rest and eat..."

Shi Yi nodded and said sincerely: "I know. I don't mean to blame you, I'm just a little surprised."

"Hmm." Seeing that the young man in front of him believed his words, the King of Xiang's expression relaxed slightly. He did not dwell on this topic for long. He glanced at everyone present and changed the subject, saying angrily: "In addition to Shi Zhen being arrested, I also want to tell you a piece of unfortunate news. Just now, I found that the booklet that recorded the evidence of Fu Yutang's rebellion was stolen."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yi's eyes widened in surprise. Everyone present was also shocked. After they reacted, they spoke out one after another -

"what?"

"How could this happen?"

"Your Majesty, do you know who stole it?"

"..."

"..."

King Xiang: “…”

He told this matter to his aides in order to get their help in thinking of countermeasures. However, they all talked at once, saying all kinds of things, but none of them were useful. Instead, they gave him a headache.

"Alright." King Xiang raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, then he looked at Shi Yi, smiled kindly, and asked in a gentle voice: "Yier, what do you think of this situation now? Do you have any countermeasures?"

This kid has been with Fu Yutang since he was a child. If he is not extremely smart, he should at least be wise and clever. Otherwise, Fu Yutang would not have valued him so much.

Not to mention that he has been exposed to Fu Yutang for many years, so if he didn't learn 70% or 80% of Fu Yutang's methods, he must have learned 30% or 40%?

It was precisely because of this that he followed Shi Zhen's advice and condescended to adopt him as his adopted son, hoping that he would give him more advice in the future, put into practice the methods he learned from Fu Yutang, and contribute his own strength.

Now, it's his time to show off.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said sincerely: "The child doesn't understand these."

He has never been good at these intrigues.

Hearing this, the face of the King of Xiang darkened slightly, suspecting that he still cared about the old relationship and was unwilling to take action against Fu Yutang. He was just about to say that this was a critical moment and he should not care about the old relationship. If he did not take action, it would be the King of Xiang's Mansion that would die.

However, before he could open his mouth, an aide in a pine green robe stepped forward. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Your Majesty, I, Zhang Bai, have a plan that can rescue Shi Dazongguan and put Fu Yutang to death at the same time."

"Oh?" King Xiang suddenly became alert and asked quickly, "What's the plan?"

Zhang Bai smiled slightly and said to the King of Xiang: "It is like throwing a worm to fish, luring you into the trap."

After he finished speaking, he straightened his back and looked like he was asking for praise.

The King of Xiang, who was full of expectation, said: "..."

What the hell?

He hated those who didn't speak directly and deliberately showed off! He couldn't help but frowned and said unhappily: "Don't show off, speak clearly!"

Zhang Bai froze in place, his face twitching unconsciously. After a long while, he recovered and said "yes" respectfully, "It doesn't matter if the evidence is lost. The prince can ask Master Shi Yi to get Fu Yutang to say that he intends to rebel, and then secretly arrange a few people to eavesdrop. In this way, we will have witnesses. Then, the prince can use this as a threat to make Fu Yutang release Shi Dazongguan..."
