"As long as you're happy."
About half a cup of tea's time later.
The carriage slowly came to a stop.
The coachman said, "We've arrived." Immediately afterward, a dense chorus of footsteps sounded outside the carriage.
Lin Jiu'an and Ningguang got out of the car and saw a group of businessmen who had been waiting there for a long time.
They were all meaningless compliments, and Lin Jiu'an let Ningguang handle them.
Seeing Lin Jiu'an's indifferent demeanor, the group of businessmen couldn't help but sneer inwardly. "Keep pretending, you'll be crying soon enough." Their smiles became even more obsequious and enthusiastic.
The group soon arrived at a large courtyard deep within the "Moonlit Pavilion". Lin Jiu'an sat in the main seat, while Ningguang stood behind him like a personal secretary.
As the dishes were served, the merchant in the lead, named Zhao Cheng, raised his glass.
Let us raise a toast to His Majesty the Emperor!
The other businessmen raised their glasses, and Lin Jiu'an followed suit, taking a sip.
The wine in the glass was clearly less than half full.
Upon seeing this, some of the merchants immediately sneered, thinking to themselves that he was indeed just a greenhorn. Many of them put down their wine glasses without even drinking and looked at him with cold smiles.
"What? What kind of wicked idea do you have now?" Lin Jiu'an asked.
"Lin Jiu'an, Lin Jiu'an, I never thought you were so stupid."
Zhao Cheng sneered, "I've poisoned your wine."
Are you feeling weak all over right now?
"and then?"
Seeing Lin Jiu'an's nonchalant and indifferent expression, Zhao Cheng was a little stunned. This reaction was not right.
However, after looking at the half-empty wine glass and recalling the slight movement of Qin Jiu'an's throat earlier, he felt somewhat relieved.
"Let me tell you, this is the most potent poison in the world, 'Ghost-Burning Red Crane Powder'!"
"It is colorless and tasteless. After drinking it, a person will feel weak and powerless all over their body in a short period of time until they are unable to move. Then, their whole body will be extremely itchy, causing them to bleed from all seven orifices and die in extreme pain."
Lin Jiu'an's shoulders twitched slightly involuntarily.
"why are you laughing?"
Zhao Cheng couldn't hold back any longer; he was talking about something very serious!
"It's okay, you can continue."

Zhao Cheng clenched his fists; he was starting to realize what was happening.
"You didn't drink it?"
[峮::‰兒、@#&%%陆∨九+*°就′馓+)(*^领/%
"No, I saw you drink it with my own eyes, and the wine in the glass was half gone."
"Is this what you're talking about?"
The next moment, he saw Lin Jiu'an open his mouth and spit out a vortex of light purple liquid.
It grazed Zhao Cheng's cheek at a speed invisible to the naked eye and pierced through the wall behind him.
Zhao Cheng immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but still sneered, "So what if you found out?"
"Let me tell you, your biggest mistake is being too arrogant, daring to come here with just the two of you."
The words have not yet fallen.
The sound of rushing water suddenly rang out from the side.
The side wall collapsed instantly, and Tadalia, wielding twin blades, rushed in front of Lin Jiu'an.
'Bang!'
The double-edged blade of water cut into the sword-like edge of rock.
The impact sent a powerful gust of wind scattering the dishes and wine bottles everywhere, creating a constant crackling sound as the merchants were blown to the ground.
As soon as "Young Master" made his move, as if it were a signal, dozens of people with divine eyes rushed in.
"Tsk, a siege?"
"Although I would love to have a fair and square match with you, this is a mission and we must finish it quickly."
D'Artagnan smiled helplessly.
Although this is outside Liyue City, it will take some time for Lin Jiu'an's helpers to arrive.
But this is, after all, Liyue territory.
If the plan drags on and fails again, his scheme for the Heart of the Rock God will come to a complete end.
"No, you misunderstood."
Lin Jiu'an smiled, raised his hands, one hand swirling with wind, the other with eerie black flames, while his body radiated a heavy, rocky glow.
"I mean, is this all the people you have?"
······
Wind, rock, water, fire...
Elements intertwined in the darkness, coloring the moonless night with vibrant hues.
The battle between the users of the Eye of God, especially Lin Jiu'an and Tartaglia, was so powerful that the elemental radiance could be seen even in Liyue City, which was not far away.
When Ke Qing and Ye Lan rushed over.
The Moonlit Pavilion had been reduced to ruins in the fierce battle.
'Bang!'
We just arrived at the ruins.
Ye Lan and Ke Qing saw Lin Jiu'an holding a long sword made of rock.
Opposite him stood a strange brown-haired man with his back to them, wearing bizarre armor.
However, at this moment, the once imposing armor was now tattered and torn, with bloodstains on the breaches.
Judging from Lin Jiu'an's unharmed appearance, the blood was probably not related to Lin Jiu'an at all.
Before the two could move, the man dressed in strange armor and wielding a peculiarly shaped spear charged towards Lin Jiu'an.
'Bang!'
The spear, carrying turbulent water, clashed with the stone sword, which was wreathed in wind and flame.
The interplay of water and fire.
A semi-circular 'protective shield' was formed behind the two of them.
The fierce wind forced Ke Qing and Ye Lan to take a half step back to steady themselves.
Not a single hit.
D'Artagnan took a few steps back, then turned and rushed straight into the deep mountains.
Ke Qing wanted to go after her.
"No need to chase after him."
Ke Qing looked at Lin Jiu'an, who was carrying a sword, with a puzzled expression.
"What's going on here?"
Lin Jiu'an did not answer her.
Instead, he turned and walked into the ruins, pulling out a trembling middle-aged man from behind them.
Keqing recognized the man as Zhao Cheng, a famous merchant from Liyue Harbor.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I was coerced by those despicable fools!"
Zhao Cheng trembled, his previous arrogance completely gone. He cried out in a trembling voice, "I had no choice! Those despicable Foolish Clan executors threatened me with the lives of my entire family! I..."

'Pfft!'
turn
The stone sword cleanly severed Zhao Cheng's right arm.

"What you're saying isn't what I want to hear," Lin Jiu'an said with a smile.

"Spare me! Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Group Zero)
"Your Majesty, please see the truth, I..."
Another sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.
This time, instead of cutting off his arm, they cut a piece of flesh from his fat waist.
"I think you should think about what I want to hear before you speak."
Ke Qing stared in astonishment at the cruel scene before her.
Actually, she had a pretty good impression of Lin Jiu'an.
Because the other party also often works overtime.
In her past life, she often saw him working busily in places like Qunyu Pavilion, Yuehai Pavilion, and the General Affairs Department.
Unfortunately, the other party later went astray and was expelled from Liyue.
However, no matter what, in her impression, Lin Jiu'an was definitely not such a cruel person.
Watching the pieces of flesh being sliced off, and hearing Zhao Cheng's pitiful wails.
Ke Qing felt a pang of pity.
Just as she was about to step forward to stop them, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm.
Turning around, Keqing saw Ningguang standing beside her, shaking her head at her.
"Why stop me?"
Ke Qing questioned, "Even if that person really committed some crime, shouldn't he be tortured like this?"
Ningguang released her grip upon hearing this, simply saying, "I warned you."
Ningguang's attitude made Keqing hesitate for a moment, and just as she heard another scream and made up her mind, she heard Zhao Cheng confess himself.
After hearing the other party's plan, Ke Qing was stunned.
Are they planning to assassinate the "Emperor"?
Although Ke Qing was also puzzled and even somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Jiu'an's series of policies after he became the emperor, which emphasized heavy industry and agriculture and suppressed merchants, she felt that he was messing things up.
But it was just dissatisfaction.
She never imagined that someone would be so audacious as to dare assassinate the "Emperor"!
After hearing Zhao Cheng scream and vomit out that long list of names...
Ke Qing felt a chill run down her spine.
From what she heard, almost half of the major merchants in Liyue were involved.
If all these people participated in the assassination of the new "Emperor," whether Lin Jiu'an lost or those merchants lost, the consequences would be unimaginable to Ke Qing.
"Did you hear that?"
"Go and arrest all those people he mentioned."
