A trace of reminiscence flashed across Zhongli's face, "I was praised by the gods as the most powerful god of war in the world, and I was once intoxicated by that glory.

But in reality, it is not enough to just have strong military power. In the Demon God War, I lost my best friend, and..."

He sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

Lin Yide understood in his heart, he could guess who the pain in Zhongli's heart came from.

Then, Zhongli changed the subject and asked seriously, "Ide, what do you envision for the future of Liyue?"

After Lin Yide pondered for a moment, he elaborated in an orderly manner: "In the future of Liyue, I plan to establish three major departments: the Cabinet, the Censorate, and the Imperial Observatory.

The chief minister of the cabinet is elected by the people. He personally selects personnel to form the cabinet team and is fully responsible for the country's administrative affairs.

The president of the Censorate will be appointed by you, and his duty is to be in charge of the state's judicial affairs.

As for the Imperial Observatory, it will be composed of immortals whose task is to supervise the work of the Cabinet and the Censorate.

In addition, any major decision regarding the future of Liyue must be reviewed and approved by the Imperial Observatory."

After listening to this, Zhongli fell into deep thought. After a long while, he gave his own evaluation, "In terms of universal rationality, this kind of institutional structure is indeed much more perfect than the previous Seven Star System."

After hearing this, Lin Yide just smiled and said nothing more.

If the Seven Star System were placed in any modern country in the past, it would be a very explosive existence.

At this moment, Xingqiu hurriedly walked to Lin Yide, lowered his head and reported softly: "Factory owner, there is a new situation over there."

Lin Yide nodded and said gently, "I understand, Xingqiu, thank you for your hard work."

Xingqiu's eyes revealed a hint of mixed emotions as he responded, "This is what I should do!"

Then, Lin Yide turned to Zhongli and invited him with a smile: "Guest Zhongli, there is a wonderful show coming up tonight. Are you interested in watching it?"

Zhongli had a puzzled look on his face, "What's the show?"

Lin Yide replied calmly: "The fire dragon burned the warehouse."

..................................................................................

As night fell, the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, as dark as ink, like a thick black curtain.

A team of more than ten people quietly set out from Liyue Harbor in the cover of night and hurriedly set out.

Before long, they arrived at their destination - a towering granary.

This should have been a heavily guarded location, but at this moment, the guards seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep as if they had telepathically communicated with each other, leaving an unobstructed path for the team.

The leader took a look at the nearly empty granary and said to the people behind him, "Set fire to it. We have already burned Yaoguang's account books.

Now, if we burn this place down, all the accounts will turn to ashes, and there will be no evidence left.”

Hearing this, one of them couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of helplessness and regret: "I didn't expect that we would do such a cruel thing. It's all greed that ruined us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader said in a sarcastic tone: "Uncle Tian, ​​are you confessing? Are you trying to prove that you have a better conscience than us?"

Uncle Tian angrily retorted: "Kaiyang, if you hadn't tricked us into lending out our grain reserves, how could the situation have evolved to this point!"

Kaiyang was furious, and he roared: "You old man, do you want to put all the blame on me now?

It's obviously you who are greedy and want to make a fortune before retirement."

Uncle Tian was so angry that his face turned blue and he was speechless.

"That's enough, stop arguing." Yaoguang stepped in to stop the two people's quarrel. "What's the point of arguing about this now?"

Under Yaoguang's persuasion, Kaiyang and Tianshu stopped arguing. They each called their confidants and began to prepare for the fire.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the granary.

Kaiyang and others' faces changed suddenly, and they realized that the situation was not good.

Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred Qianyan soldiers holding bright lights rushed into the granary like a tide and surrounded them tightly.

Kaiyang shouted angrily: "Do you know who we are? Get out! Get out, get out, get out!"

These Qianyan soldiers naturally knew their identities, but they were not moved at all.

Soon, Ningguang and Keqing appeared in the passage vacated by Sergeant Qianyan.

"Lord Ningguang," Kaiyang's expression changed rapidly. He took a step forward and said with a flattering smile, "Please let me go. I am willing to do anything for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a thud.

Ningguang's eyes revealed deep disgust.

She just couldn't understand why Kaiyang, who was so strong and unyielding all those years ago, had become like this.

Keqing drew out the long sword in her hand and pointed the tip of the sword at Kaiyang's neck. "For a person like you, only death can wash away your sins."

Kaiyang was shaking violently, begging, "Keqing, please don't kill me, I know I was wrong, please, give me a chance!"

But his begging attitude only aroused Keqing's stronger murderous intent.

“Keqing, now is not the time to take his life.” Ningguang said calmly, “We will deal with them after the situation in Liyue stabilizes.”

Keqing snorted coldly and put away the sword in her hand.

Ningguang looked deeply at Tianshu, Yaoguang and the others, and sighed, "Why did you do such a stupid thing?"

Tianshu, Yaoguang and others lowered their heads in shame and were speechless.

Then, Ningguang waved her hand and said, "Take them all away, put them in prison, and keep them under strict guard. Do not allow anyone to approach."

After receiving the order, Qianyan's soldiers immediately took action and took Kaiyang and others to prison.

In a hidden corner not far from the granary, Zhongli had a complicated expression and sighed deeply, "Yide, you were the one who told Ningguang all this in advance, right?"

Lin Yide responded with a smile: "A good play needs conflicts to embellish it. If Kaiyang and his men were the only ones to set the fire, it would be too boring!"

"Kaiyang and others' arson was also within your expectations!" Zhongli said with emotion, "Your insight into people's hearts is really too accurate."

Lin Yide spread his hands and replied calmly: "It's not that I calculated it accurately, but they are too greedy."
