"Senior sister, I just heard that woman say that she was from the imperial capital." Li Rui said, "Is it because of this?"

Liu Xiao nodded and said, "No doubt, it must be."

"Who is here?" Li Rui asked.

"The Head of State Secret Envoy."

"The Head of State Secret Envoy? At this time, the Head of State sent someone to Haizhou. The drunkard's intention was not to drink."

"What Bai Heng is most worried about is that his ambitions are exposed too early. At this time, Xun Tiansheng's secret envoy came to Haizhou, which was the most dangerous signal for him, so he urgently recalled Ma Xinglong." Liu Xiao said.

"What should we do next?"

"I think this secret envoy will come to meet you soon." Liu Xiao said coldly.

"See me?"

Sure enough, early the next morning, Li Rui received a strange call. The other party claimed to be Li Rui's friend and invited him to the Haizhou Office for a lecture.

The Haizhou Office is located in Haishu Special District and is the old nest of Fang Jianren. However, since Li Rui and Ma Xinglong came to fight, this old fried dough stick has oiled its feet and left Haizhou with a lot of wealth it has gained in recent years.

The Haizhou Office is like an empty shell.

There is no doubt that the person who called was definitely not Fang Jianren, but the mysterious head of state envoy.

The official residence of the Haizhou Office is called "Grey Palace". It is located at No. 1 Binya Avenue, Haishu Special District. It is the place where the director of the Haizhou Office and his family live and work.

The Gray Palace is a gray sandstone building, mainly composed of the main building and the east and west wings. The east is the banquet hall and the west is the administrative office building and the director's office. The main building has 3 floors exterior, and there are 6 floors, with a total of 132 rooms.

It covers an area of ​​nearly 70,000 square meters.

Although the Grey Palace is not as grand as the official residence of the East County Office, when he walked inside, Li Rui was still shocked by his heavy aristocratic temperament.

"No wonder Fang Jianren would rather do nothing than stay in this place."

Although the house manager has long been no longer Haizhou, the Hui Palace has not been empty because of this. The official residence staff still maintained a very high level of work and carried out various tasks in an orderly manner, as if waiting for someone to come here to accept it.

At this time, there were already people waiting in the oval conference room on the third floor.

As soon as Li Rui entered the door, he saw a familiar face.

"Hello, Mr. Li, we're meeting again."

"Director Qin, I really didn't expect it was you."

The person who greeted Li Rui was not someone else, but Qin Henan, head of the Market Management Department of the Cultural Affairs Department.

"We are old friends too. Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is the Chief of Staff, Yuan Jianyuan, the Chief of Staff of the Chief of Staff of the Head of State."

"Chief of Staff?" Li Rui looked at the man in his sixties in front of him in surprise, showing a surprised expression.

You should know that the chief of staff is the head of state eunuch, the general head of the staff organization, a senior official at level 19. He only serves the head of state and is a well-deserved confidant.

"Sorry, Lord Yuan, this is the first time I have seen such a big leader, and I am a little excited."

Yuan Jian looks very low-key, ordinary, and nothing special. If he does not tell his identity, it will be difficult to connect him with a prominent bureaucrat like the chief of staff.

Yuan Jian smiled and said, "Dr. Li, don't be restrained. I've heard He Nan talk about you long ago. I know you are a young talent, so we will meet here today."

"What is Lord Yuan's order? Even if it's said."

"Sit down first, let's talk about it slowly."

Li Rui came to the seat opposite Yuan Jian and sat down, and Yuan Jian said, "You should know, are we here to find you?"

"You should be here for the Bai family."

"Bai Heng is the head of state's heart. This time he took action against you, the purpose of unifying Haizhou and consolidating the rule of the four prefectures in Jiangnan. Unfortunately, he encountered your nail, not only did he clear the obstacles,

Instead, he backfired and exposed his motives in advance."

"With the strength of the Bai family, even if the motive is exposed, if he plans to give up, rely on my real

Power is afraid it is also a swaying tree."

Yuan Jian looked at Qin Henan beside him and smiled, "But why did Bai Heng suddenly stop?"

"I think it's thanks to Lord Yuan's credit. If you hadn't suddenly arrived in Haizhou, I'd probably not have the opportunity to meet you."

"Since you know that Bai Heng is afraid of me, then you might as well guess why we met today?"

Li Rui shook his head and said, "I'll ask for instructions."

"Dr. Li, I won't go around with you anymore. Before I came, we checked your information. Three years ago, you were famous in the imperial capital for a while, and it was even reported that you were the real chairman of Shengshi Group. But Ling

Strangely, you suddenly disappeared again and it was shown as a missing person in the police database."

Li Rui frowned. He knew that his information had been fully grasped by the other party. Yuan Jian suddenly mentioned what happened three years ago, and he would probably connect what happened three years ago with what happened in front of him.

"What does Lord Yuan mean?"

"Don't get me wrong. We don't mean to ask the bottom line. After all, everyone has his history." Yuan Jian always speaks very calmly, his emotions have almost no fluctuations, and he whispers slowly: "Back to the topic we just said, now

In the Heavenly Dynasty, Bai Heng is not the only ambitious one."

Li Rui looked at Yuan Jian and felt that this simple man was a very powerful character. Li Rui was thrilled in a few words.

"Ambitionist? You mean..."

"For example, the Three Eighth System."

"Three Eighth System!"

After three years, when Li Rui heard the term "Three Eighth System" again, he couldn't help but feel deeply trembling in his heart.

"Could it be..." Li Rui looked at Yuan Jian and was silent for a long time before saying, "Mr. Yuan, you are..."

"The number one person in the 38th Division is He Zhenzhi, the president of the Honglu Academy. He is the one who manipulated the battle of the imperial capital three years ago behind the scenes."

"He Zhenzhi?"

"Yes, this President He is not a person in the pool. Compared with Bai Heng, the common prime minister, how is your fight different from the battle three years ago?"

"He Zhen's thoughts are deep and unpredictable." Li Rui replied.

"Then what do you think He Zhenzhi has about you, the chairman of Aoshi Group?"

Li Rui shook his head and said, "The trick we tried our best to arrange three years ago can be said to have turned into nothingness in one go."

"Three years ago, you created a fake chairman of Shengshi Group and set you as a puppet controlled by someone. Situ Zhao personally played the mastermind behind the scenes, wrote, directed and acted as a play for the prince.

Add the good show of mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind it." Yuan Jian said, "The question is, will they believe it?"

"I might believe it at first, but now, it's hard to say."

"You can hide it. After all, Situ Zhao has laid enough preparations for you before." Yuan Jian said: "He did not hesitate to bear the culprit of the Xiao family's destruction for you, and he also regarded you as a disaster for the eradication of the roots.

For three years, he has been chasing you with great fanfare until everyone thinks you are dead. But why do you have to be resurrected and enter the public eye so high-profile?"

"What I did is not for myself. Whether it is Aoshi Group or Shengshi Group, to me, it is just illusory things." Li Rui explained: "I originally just wanted to be safe and stable

Living in the countryside, but being teased by fate is involved in these right and wrong."

"Hahaha, I'm frank, I'm afraid you won't be able to live a stable life in your life." Yuan Jian said with a smile.

Li Rui sighed helplessly and said, "That's true. From the moment you just mentioned the "Three Eighth System", I knew that what should come will always come."

"I don't know whether you did it intentionally or accidentally, but it is indeed a clever move for you to announce your identity in a high-profile manner. It is precisely because of this that we have paid attention to you and you are valued by the Empire.

Otherwise, this corner of Jiangnan might be your burial place."

"You're so serious, I'm just helpless

Just a move." Li Rui said embarrassedly: "If I didn't do this, I might not be able to walk through a round in front of these powerful men in Haizhou."

Yuan Jian looked at Qin Henan and said, "We Xiao Qin praised you to me, saying that you are quick-thinking and have a long-term vision. I think you can add a little more, modest!"

"You are really over-reputable, I dare not take it."

"We came today, and there was no special purpose. I came to Haizhou. The main purpose was to control Baiheng. Now it seems that the purpose has been achieved, and we and the three parties have returned to the balance point."

At this time, Li Rui said, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"But it's okay."

"Actually, before you came, I had an idea that I hope to find a balance point with the Bai family through the game with Ma Xinglong."

"I know what you want to say. If you win Ma Xinglong, you will give Haizhou to Bai Heng without hesitation in exchange for strategic security and even greater rewards."

"I just want peace." Li Rui said.

"But you didn't expect that we will be here so soon, aren't we?"

"Not that, what I didn't expect was that Bai Heng finally supported Ma Xinglong's action of burning his boats. From the moment he launched his action against Turtle Village, we were destined to be unable to cooperate."

At this time, Qin Henan said, "Dr. Li, your idea is good, but it's a bit naive. Who is Bai Heng? How could he care about your life and death? Even if you really beat Ma Xinglong, if Li Baochang was not there

I support you behind my back, I am afraid he will harvest you leeks immediately."

"General Li did help you a lot behind your back," said Yuan Jian. "And your wisdom is fully demonstrated if you can turn all Bai Heng's opposition forces into your own."

"Mr. Yuan, you have been praising me all the time. I'm embarrassed to say anything. Just say it."

Yuan Jian smiled slightly and said, "I admire your talent very much and hope to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?" Li Rui asked in confusion: "What to do?"

"I hope you can continue to restrict Bai Heng in Haizhou."

"But what are my benefits?"

"I represent the Head of State, I can give you everything you want."

"I understand. You mentioned He Zhenzhi just now. Did you say that if I promise to cooperate, even if I ask for his head, you would agree?"
