Chapter 206 The Know-It-All Clerk
"This, this... I, I..."

Wang Jian was speechless for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "I don't know!"

Liu Yuxi pointed at him and said, "Zhongchu, are you still going to keep it a secret?"

"Could it be that Wencheng did all of this?"

He attributed all the "heroic deeds" of King Jing that were circulating in the capital to Wang Jian.

It was Wang Jian who was advocating for King Jing.

Wang Jian was not known for his wisdom and strategy, but he was still a scholar. Compared to the ignorant and incompetent King Jing and the unremarkable Wang Xuan in front of him, he was more willing to believe that it was Wang Jian who did it.

"Oh no! It really wasn't me!"

Wang Jian panicked.

This is something you can't admit to.

Having just escaped a great calamity, if they were to be dragged into this vortex again, they would die an even more horrible death!
This is nothing like the trivial matter of grumbling a few words before.

It was a "serious crime" that warranted the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family!
Bai Juyi waved his hand and said, "Mengde, don't force him. I believe it wasn't Zhongchu who did it."

Liu Yuxi's eyes widened: "What? Do you really believe that Prince Jing has such abilities?"

Bai Juyi said, "I have heard that several thousand river workers survived the disaster at Mengjin, as well as several thousand Shence Army soldiers who were present."

"How could something witnessed by so many people be faked?"

"In a few days, this matter will be proven. If that Prince Jing is really so unwise, how could he have so many river workers standing up for him?"

Wang Jian finally came to his senses and glared at Cui Hong: "Wencheng, what exactly happened? Tell me the truth, when did you pledge allegiance to Prince Jing!"

If this grandson hadn't sided with King Jing, why would he be praising King Jing here?

That's incredibly bold!
His eyes are blind too!

And then there's Prince Jing...

Both of them are blind!

One dared to invest, and the other dared to take it!
Cui Hong said, "Grandpa, if you don't believe me, why don't you meet Prince Jing in person and see for yourself whether his heroic appearance is as I described?"

"Mr. Letian, Mr. Mengde, would you two like to meet them together at that time?"

Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi exchanged a glance and smiled.

How could the two of them not know what the boy was thinking?
Logically speaking, they are already in a semi-retired state. Now in the capital, they simply live in seclusion, calling on friends and drinking and composing poetry every day.

I'm too lazy to care about anything else.

However, they were also very curious about the Prince Jing who had been making headlines recently, and it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

The most important thing is that this Prince Jing has the blood of the Li Tang dynasty flowing through his veins.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had been established for over a hundred years, the old and dead members of the Li Tang dynasty were mostly gone, and there were not many left.

However, there are actually quite a few people who cherish their "homeland".

Among them, scholars were the most numerous.

The two of them were among them.

According to previous rumors, the Prince Jing was someone who truly did not inspire any interest in him.

Now... is there perhaps a sliver of hope?
The two were longtime friends and understood each other perfectly. With just a glance, they both nodded and replied, "Alright, Wencheng, where is Prince Jing now? Please introduce us to him."

Although they were older and renowned scholars, the other party was, after all, Prince Jing. Regardless of whether he was good or bad, they should still pay their respects according to etiquette.

Cui Hong was overjoyed: "His Highness Prince Jing will be returning to the capital soon. I will take you two gentlemen to pay him a visit tomorrow."

Bai Juyi nodded: "Very good."

Wang Jian opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know what to say.

And me?

Cui Hong glanced at it, smiled, and didn't plead with his "grandfather" to go along.

With these two in front of me, it doesn't matter whether Wang Jian goes or not!

……

The northern part of the imperial city.

The Inner Palace Secretariat was located here, and people called it the Northern Office.

"boom!"

A valuable glass cup was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Wang Shouchang, with his pale face, clean beard, fat head, and large ears, remained as furious as ever.

"Shuzi!"

"What a courage!"

The sharp sound was like a sharp object scraping against porcelain.

"Where is Tian Quancao?! Immediately order him to personally lead troops and bring that brat back! Anyone who dares to disobey... will be executed without mercy!"

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger!"

One of his men quickly tried to dissuade him: "That brat deserves to die, but one thing is true: he was personally appointed by the Emperor. If the Prime Minister executes him, the Emperor will lose face."

Wang Shoucheng retorted angrily, "Do you think I'm afraid of him?!"

The subordinate cautiously replied, "Of course not. No matter how much trouble this brat causes, he's nothing more than an ant. It's just that although the Sage is currently in seclusion, this brat is, after all, his only bloodline."

"The Emperor only granted him a title out of momentary pity. The Prime Minister merely stripped him of his title. It doesn't matter to the Emperor; he won't offend the Prime Minister over such a useless person."

"But... although that person is no longer here, he was once someone the Sage cherished. If this brat dies, there's no guarantee the Sage won't feel pity for him again,"

"Why would the Prime Minister risk his precious life for a mere upstart? Isn't that like throwing his valuable treasures against a stone in a latrine?"

Even if I'm unharmed, I'm still covered in filth, it's really not worth it!

"Hehehehe..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shoucheng let out a sharp laugh.

He pointed at him and said, "You little rascal, you know how to make me happy."

"Then what do you suggest we do? This brat is so audacious, ruining my important plans. Am I just going to let him do as he pleases?"

The subordinate laughed, "Prime Minister, this brat is nothing but a useless piece of trash. What trouble could he possibly cause? I think someone is just restless and eager to stir things up." "Although this brat is useless, he was born into a good family; there's still much to be done with him."

"Your Excellency would be better off recalling him and imprisoning him. It's better for Your Excellency to keep him in your own hands than for him to fall into the hands of others. This brat is cowardly by nature, so he's no match for Your Excellency to mold and manipulate him."

"It's just like keeping a good-for-nothing around. We don't expect him to accomplish anything. We just want him to keep from causing trouble."

"Well, you have a point."

Wang Shoucheng pondered, "So, it seems that my decision to expel him from the capital was a blunder?"

"What are you saying, Your Excellency? It's just that the villain behind it is too treacherous, and that scoundrel doesn't know what's good for him and has failed Your Excellency's kind heart."

"Alright, let's do it this way. I'll leave this matter to you. If anything happens, let Tian Quancao handle it personally."

Wang Shouchang said, "You must find out who is behind this trouble! I want to see who dares to plot against me like this!"

"Also, none of those river workers and related personnel can be spared. Not a single word about that matter can be leaked!"

"Yes!"

……

Mengjin County Government Office.

"They're willing to see me?"

Xie Lingxin used the all-knowing expert to communicate with Cui Hong.

Cui Hong: "Yes, you would never guess who else is besides my 'grandfather'!"

Xie Lingxin smiled and asked, "Bai Juyi? Or Liu Yuxi?"

"!"

"how do you know?!"

Although she couldn't see his expression, Xie Lingxin could still hear the deep shock in his sharp voice.

In his later years, Bai Juyi lived in seclusion in Luoyang, surrounded by only a few close friends.

The so-called "Nine Elders of Xiangshan" are very famous.

Of course, Wang Jian is not qualified to be included, but he is indeed in such a circle.

"Never mind how I know. I'm going back to the capital tomorrow. But that damned eunuch Wang Shouchang definitely won't let me off so easily."

Xie Ling thought to himself, "If I want to return to the capital, I need to come up with a foolproof plan."

Cui Hong: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Will you be able to see Song Shenxi?"

Cui Hong: "That prime minister who was falsely accused of plotting a rebellion with you? I heard that he was reprimanded by the three princes, but nothing serious happened. He was ordered to stay at home, and although he retained his official position, he was stripped of his power in the court."

“My ‘grandfather’ should be able to see him.”

Xie Ling thought to herself, "That's perfect. Go see him and have him come pick me up."

Cui Hong was a little doubtful: "Are you sure he's willing to listen to you?"

Xie Ling thought to himself, "Tell him: The eunuch faction is abusing their power, and everyone has the right to kill them!"

"that's it?"

"That's enough. By the way, tell Bai Juyi and the others about this as well."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After thinking it over, Xie Ling figured that severing her mental connection with Cui Hong shouldn't be a problem.

Song Shenxi was able to fight Wang Shoucheng for so long and remain unscathed, so he couldn't possibly be just a weak scholar; he must have had ways to protect himself.

With Bai Juyi as an added safety net, advancing to the highest level shouldn't be a problem.

Once we get into the capital, things will be much easier.

"Ding~"

I sensed movement within my sea of ​​consciousness.

He's a know-it-all.

Xie Lingxin was a little confused.

The know-it-all in the domain is just a local area network.

Moreover, due to the cycle of reincarnation, it is very likely that not many people will awaken.

Everything was empty; there was no information whatsoever.

Who else would be looking for him now, besides Cui Hong?

With a sudden thought, he reconnected with the all-knowing expert.

[“Fang Tangjian, the knowledgeable clerk,” has requested to add you as a friend.]

This was the first time Xie Lingxin had ever seen an ID with a prefix, and the prefix was even gold, something that ordinary users simply couldn't achieve.

Fangtangjian? Why don't you call it Fangtangjing?
He muttered something to himself and accepted his friend request.

Fang Tangjian, the clerk of Baishitong: Xie Lingxin?
Little Heart Lingling: You added me, but you don't know who I am?

Fang Tangjian, the all-knowing clerk: ...Your ID is a bit unusual, I don't recognize it.

Little Heart Lingling: You really know everything?

Fang Tangjian, the all-knowing clerk: Genuine, a Level 5 all-knowing clerk! (Proud jpg)

Little Heart Lingling: What is this?
Fang Tangjian, the all-knowing clerk: ...You don't even know this? I feel so ashamed!
Fang Tangjian, the all-knowing clerk: You can think of me as the historian of the realm!

Little Heart Lingling: Oh, I see, the Realm Paparazzi.

Fang Tangjian, the know-it-all clerk: ...You're annoying, you know? But if you want to say it that way, it's not impossible.

Little Heart Lingling: Get to the point, I'm busy.

Fang Tangjian, the all-knowing clerk: There's something I need to confirm with you. Are you "Prince Jing"?

Xie Lingxin was taken aback, then narrowed her eyes slightly.

How did this guy know?
