"Liangzi, why didn't you tell me these two things?!"

Wenshui County, the county lord's mansion, in the boudoir of Takeda Ryoko.

Li Guanqi sat at the desk, pushed away many papers, clutched two pieces of paper, and looked at Takeda Ryoko next to him in disbelief.

"Ah, ah?"

When Takeda Ryoko saw this scene, he suddenly panicked and quickly took the two pieces of paper and looked at them.

However, after glancing at it, she became even more surprised.

What's wrong with these two things?

"First!"

Li Guanqi snatched back a piece of paper and pointed to the deeds recorded on it, "The Kitamura family wanted to annex many families in the county a hundred years ago, and it was the kind of annexation that confiscated the family flag, but in the end, the Minos family blocked it.

, leading to failure. You didn’t tell me about this, and you didn’t give me this information that day!”

"this……"

Takeda Ryoko's neck shrank, "This information is at the bottom of the box. I accidentally left it out that day and didn't take it out..."

"This matter is actually not important. You can guess it."

Li Guanqi nodded, "But the most important thing is the second thing!"

As he spoke, he took back a second piece of paper from Takeda Ryoko, pointed to the scrawled writing on it, and said in a deep voice: "52 years ago, in Anno County next door, the strongest family became a Khajiit family, and then the palace

So I sent someone to help support another local and respected Sakura family.

The palace not only provided support in all aspects, but also directly provided resources to help them raise a Liuhe-level warrior of different blood to fight against the Liuhe-level tiger family.

why is that?"

Li Guanqi pointed at the second piece of paper, looked at Takeda Ryoko and asked: "The Sakura Shogunate does not allow the Orc family to become the strongest family in a county? If this happens, it will force another local Sakura family to compete.

?Is that so?”

"Yes, yes."

Takeda Ryoko nodded, very surprised, "Isn't this what our shogunate has always done? Do you still need to ask?"

"ha!"

Hearing this, Li Guanqi suddenly smiled and sat back on his chair holding the piece of paper, feeling indescribably comfortable.

The things recorded on this piece of paper are not the information provided by Takeda Ryoko.

It was Li Guanqi who checked the files and archives of the County Lord's Mansion within these three days, noticed some things from it, and then recorded them in his own handwriting.

The archives of Wenshui County not only record events in its own county, but events in Anno County next door are also recorded in it.

Because at that time, in order to support the local family in Anno County, the palace ordered Wenshui County to cede a lot of mineral resources to enhance the strength of the local family.

Li Guanqi looked at these files originally to collect intelligence and see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of the local power relations.

But he didn't expect that he would actually discover this.

If this is really the case, then his plan can be completely overturned, and the second and third steps he originally planned to take are no longer needed.

Because after taking this first step, the matter is already done.

"Liangzi, you really should have told me this."

Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed, "Really, it was a waste of all my brain cells to think about the future plan."

"ah??"

Takeda Ryoko was completely confused at this time and had no idea what Li Guanqi was talking about.

"Why didn't you tell me."

Li Guanqi still couldn't calm down the joy in his heart. He looked at Takeda Ryoko and said with a smile: "If the orcs become the strongest family in a county, then the palace will directly send people to support another local Sakura family. This matter

You should have told me."

"I don't understand."

Takeda Ryoko looked at Li Guanqi with a strange expression, "Although this matter is not explicitly written in the Sakura Rules, it is a common sense that has been established by convention. Everyone knows it, so why do I need to say it.

So three days ago, you told me that after defeating the Kitamura family, you want to support the Sakai family, who are all cat people, and I was very puzzled.

Because the two families are at odds with each other, but both are orc families and there is no Sakura family, the higher-ups will definitely get involved.

After all, even if those cat people changed their surnames to our Sakura people, they would still be cat people.

Only now do I understand that you don’t know this at all when watching chess...ah, I understand!"

As he spoke, Takeda Ryoko suddenly realized, "Kanqi, you, like senior Wang Xiu, are both from Daluo, so you must not know the common sense of our Sakura Shogunate."

"certainly."

Li Guanqi smiled helplessly.

"But I still don't quite understand."

Takeda Ryoko looked at him doubtfully, "Will knowing this matter help us?"

"Of course."

Li Guanqi nodded and chuckled: "And it is a very, very huge relationship. If this unwritten rule of the Sakura Shogunate is applied to Wenshui County, something will happen.

——If the Kitamura family falls and the Minos family becomes the strongest, then the palace will send people to support a local Sakura family to compete with the Minos family.

in other words.

The downfall of the Beicun family is a good thing for every family in Wenshui County.

Because they are all likely to become the family supported by the palace.

So, how did the Kitamura family fall?

If the big families in Wenshui County can truly unite as one, I don't think it will be a difficult thing.

The Kitamura family is not a clean family. The things they have done over the past hundreds of years have definitely violated many serious crimes in the Sakura Law, and are even punishable by death.

And in such a large county, many families, more or less, will have a little bit of evidence.

The evidence for a single family is weak.

But what about adding it all up?

Your family has some criminal evidence of the Kitamura family, my family has some, and his family has some more. Dozens or hundreds of families add up. The pieced together evidence is enough to destroy the entire Kitamura family.

But this matter has never been achieved.

Why?

Because the benefits are not enough.

The Kitamura family has collapsed, and only one family can get support from the palace, but I'm not sure if this family is mine, so why should I do this?

Will it make any difference to me if the person standing above me changes from the Kitamura family to another xx family?

No.

Moreover, this matter lacked a strong motive.

Each family does not trust each other, so it is difficult for them to all get together and hand over the evidence they have to a trustworthy person.

But now... what we did three days ago gave them this motive!"

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile, looked at Takeda Ryoko and said: "What we did three days ago made every family in the county think that the Kitamura family wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with you, the county leader.

Except for the Minos family.

So what will you do after you remove this stumbling block?

Naturally, he continued what he had unfinished a hundred years ago and continued to annex the major families in the county.

In this case, in order to protect themselves, each family will never sit idly by and do nothing. They will soon unite themselves, collect all the evidence, and send it to the law enforcement department so that the Kitamura family can be finished.

Of course, this requires a leader.

And the family taking the lead is the family with the most hope and the support from the palace, and they will be eager to promote this matter.

If nothing else, I guess it is the Kawashima family that has the longest roots in the local area."

"But what does this have to do with us?"

Takeda Ryoko looked at Li Guanqi in surprise, "The Kitamura family was defeated by the alliance, and the palace supported the Kawashima family to compete with the Minos family. This has nothing to do with us at all. When the time comes, the two major families will still be different.

Will listen to us."

"They will."

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "I will definitely do it. And by then, you, the county head, will be able to show your taste."

"Why?"

Takeda Ryoko was confused.

"Because of rights!"
