    "Simba, Simba?" Maungji shouted twice more, but there was only the sound of insects in the air at night, and he was sure that the mysterious man was gone.  Maung Ji walked to the broken branch, bent down and picked it up. He reached out and touched the broken branch. It was very smooth. It should have been suddenly cut off by some sharp weapon. He called a servant to search nearby with a lantern for a while.  Finally, I found two metal rings the size of fists. The outer edges were polished very sharply. These should be the weapons Simba used in demonstrations just now.  Maung Ji took the two metal rings and looked at them for a while before sighing and going back to the house.  Two days later, he took a few followers and left the city. Along the way, he carefully observed his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.  At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when he was about to return to Mandalay, several men on horseback appeared, and they quickly approached Maung Kyi and his party.  "Wu Maung Kee, long time no see!" Chen Zaixing stretched out his right hand to the other party: "I have a campsite not far away, can I go and sit for a while?" Maung Kee looked at Chen Zaixing, and it was not difficult to see sadness on the other person's face.  The traces left behind are two deep wrinkles on the originally smooth forehead. In the past, he was always filled with arrogance and conceit, but his eyes could not hide the sadness.  He sighed and took Chen Zaixing's outstretched right hand: "Yes, it's been a long time since we talked together." Maung Ji followed Chen Zaixing and his group through the bushes and saw a makeshift straw shed.  Dozens of armed guards stood around.  Maung Ji frowned slightly and whispered: "Master Chen, you are always so guarded wherever you go!" "That's because there are too many people who want me dead!" Chen Zaixing pointed to Mazar opposite and signaled to Maung.  Ji sat down: "But you are not that kind of person. You are a good person, a person who truly loves this country. There are very few people like you!" Maung Ji was a little embarrassed by Chen Zaixing's sudden compliment.  , he coughed and muttered: "Mr. Chen, did you spend so much effort just to tell me this?" "Of course not!" Chen Zaixing motioned to the men on the side to go away, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Luo Lin is dead  "Maung Ji was stunned when he heard this, and replied in a daze: "I know, Her Majesty the Princess has been dead for more than twenty days." "Maung Ji, you know very well that this country was finished six years ago.  , which Luo Lin and I rebuilt together, and now that Luo Lin is dead, the legal bond between me and the royal family has also been broken. If we don't do something, this country will soon fall into the trap of internal careerists.  The conspiracy and the invasion of foreign enemies fell apart!" At this point, Chen Zaixing stopped and looked into Maung Ji's eyes quietly.  Maung Ji didn't speak. He lowered his head to avoid Chen Zaixing's scorching gaze. Deep down in his heart, he knew very well that what the other person said was right, but he knew even better that everything Chen Zaixing had done in Myanmar was for his own benefit.  For Chen Zaixing, the Kingdom of Myanmar is not a homeland, but a place to gain profits.  This can be seen from the fact that Chen Zaixing betrayed the interests of the kingdom without hesitation during the negotiations.  Collaborating with such a Machiavellian filled him with guilt.  Seeing the other party¡¯s behavior, Chen Zaixing guessed what Maung Ji was thinking. He did not urge him, but waited silently.  After about half an hour, Maung Ji raised his head and asked: "Chen Zaixing, please tell me directly what you want me to do. Tell the truth, the whole truth. This is the only basis for our cooperation." "Ensure your own safety,  And serve as Privy Council Counselor! This is the only thing I need you to do! "Privy Council Counselor? Did Diok betray you?" Maung Ji's eyes widened.  "No, it should be said that I have no evidence yet!" Chen Zaixing smiled: "But during this period of time, I have always felt that there are some problems within the kingdom, but I don't know where the problem lies. I suspect that there is a person hiding behind the scenes, playing tricks.  , From a comprehensive analysis, Diok is the most likely, after all, he controls the Privy Council and the secret agents. " "Is this just the result of your imagination?" Mao Ji sneered: "I'm afraid people like you.  I have been suspecting that someone is playing tricks behind your back all day long. As far as I know, Diok has been serving you loyally. This year alone, he has uncovered at least a dozen aristocratic plots against you! " "That's true!  Maybe! But how do you explain that after uncovering so many conspiracies, these conspiracies have become more numerous and more organized? " "That's because your perverse actions have aroused the anger of the entire kingdom -" said  At this point, Maung Ji's voice suddenly stopped. Apparently he also discovered the flaw in his words.  "Wu Maoji, this is what I like about you - you are sensible and willing to face reality. Smart people are always lovable!" Chen Zaixing smiled and patted his palms twice: "These nobles react?I am not doing it for some lofty beliefs, but for power and interests. In the final analysis, it is interests.  Yes, Shunhua Company's actions have harmed the interests of many nobles, but it has not harmed the interests of all nobles. Moreover, a considerable number of nobles have benefited from selling shares and confirming annuities. You can't deny this!  In this case, there may only be a few nobles involved in the conspiracy. Most of the nobles understand that driving me away will only destroy everything existing, unless someone stands up and assures them that after driving me away,  He was able to re-stabilize the situation and deliver on all the promises he made to them.  Do you think there are many such people within the kingdom?  " Maung Ji was finally convinced by Chen Zaixing's eloquence. He was silent for a long time and whispered: "But all this is your guess after all, you have no evidence!  " "There is no need for evidence in political struggles, Wu Maung Kee.  If I win, there will be dozens of historians and monks trying to legitimize my actions!  Besides, do you remember the nobleman named Meng Chi?  " "Meng Chi?  The man who died in the well in my backyard?  " "Yes, it's him!  "Chen Zaixing made a gesture, and the guard behind him handed over a leather bag. Chen Zaixing opened the mouth of the leather bag and threw it in front of Maung Ji. Maung Ji hesitantly picked up the leather bag and opened it. It was all golden.  Burmese shield - a new gold coin minted by the Kingdom of Burma. Maung Kyi was careful about a gold coin, looked at it and asked: "What are these?"  " "These were found from the home of Meng Chi's widow!  "Chen Zaixing took the gold coin, held it between his fingers and blew it hard. The gold coin spun quickly and made a dull sound. Chen Zaixing sneered: "These gold coins are gold coins, mixed with a lot of copper.  Meng Chi's family took it out and was discovered by a businessman. The businessman happened to be a subordinate of Shunhua Company, so he sent it to one of my men.  After inspection, it was found that although these gold coins were **, they did come from the Royal Mint.  "    "What?  "Maung Ji's face changed drastically. He naturally knew what this meant. The chief officer of the mint was Diok's confidant. A large number of prostitutes appeared here, and they also appeared in the hands of Meng Chi's family. All of these are linked together.  That explains a lot of things. ¡°Haha!  "Chen Zaixing sneered a few times: "My people tracked down all night, and later I learned from the man at the mint that these coins were minted under the order of Lord Diok, and Meng Chi was also a spy under Diok.  Those ** were used to pay him.  Master Diok is a great person. He has played so many tricks behind my back. Unfortunately, he is still a bit stingy. He even uses money to pay his spies. The spies who work for him are so pitiful!  "Speaking of this, Chen Zaixing couldn't help laughing. Looking at Chen Zaixing laughing loudly, Maoji couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He never thought that Chen Zaixing already had so many chips in his hands. If nothing else, he just committed fraud in the mint.  The crime of embezzling the king's property and forging a coup was enough to knock him to the ground forever. With Diok in hand, it was just a piece of cake for Chen Zaixing to deal with the aristocratic opposition who colluded behind the scenes.  . Seeing all this, Maung Ji breathed a sigh of relief about the future of the kingdom, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart - Could it be that the various resistances in this country are just a joke in the eyes of this man? "Since  So, I¡¯ll take my leave now!  Mao Ji stood up and said, "With Master Chen here, the kingdom will be as stable as a mountain!"  " "No, we can't say it's rock solid yet!  Chen Zaixing smiled: "Only with your support will the kingdom be safe!"  "    "I?  Maung Ji couldn't help laughing: "Master Chen, please stop joking. Diok, me, the people, and the nobles are just playthings in your hands. You have money, mercenaries,  If these were not enough, Ren'an Qiang's Dashun garrison should be added.  It's ridiculous that those nobles thought that your status would be shaken by the death of Her Majesty the Princess. They are so ridiculous!  What else do you need from me, a plaything?  Or a decoration?  " "No, Wu Maoji!  I am not Burmese, and I do not have the energy to serve as Counselor in the Privy Council.  If I removed Diok, someone would be needed to take his place, and I couldn't leave the kingdom's prime minister in the hands of yet another conspirator.  Among the Burmese nobles, you are the only one suitable for this position. You are a sober person, and you deeply love this country and will not destroy her for your own ambitions and selfish desires!  " "Indeed, I will not be stupid enough to resist you, so that you can comfortably suck the wealth of the kingdom without being hurt by a certain spike!  " Maung Ji had a sad expression on his face. He knew very well that he had no choice but to make this point of useless resistance verbally. "Thanks to book friend Jingji, trainee police officer, dadadadada, and qpiqpi for the reward.  !
