Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1371

"As for who to make the move, that's even simpler. Just find a beggar outside the city and give him some silver."

“For a beggar, setting fire to a dog is nothing, especially since he gets paid for it.”

Mai Zhide listened silently to Qian Jingguang's plan, secretly pondering its feasibility.

He eventually came to a conclusion that, while it might sound far-fetched, was actually quite feasible.

Most importantly, the plan is safe enough. As Qian Jingang said, even if it fails, it won't implicate the two of them.

They didn't own the dog, they didn't start the fire, they weren't even at the scene, and there are other people who can testify for them.

Who would have thought that this was related to them? Even if someone suspected it, they couldn't produce any evidence.

The only person who could possibly be connected to the two of them is a beggar, but the problem is that he's just a beggar, and no one would care if he disappeared.

So after Qian Jinguang finished speaking, Mai Zhide immediately said:

"Brother Qian's plan may seem far-fetched, but it is actually feasible. Given the current situation, we might as well give it a try!"

At this point, Mak paused, pondered for a moment, and then continued:

"In that case, I'll take care of finding the beggar. Brother Qian, keep a close eye on that dog. This matter should be handled as soon as possible!"

"Let's get everything arranged today, and set the warehouse on fire tonight. Even if we fail, we'll have plenty of time to prepare."

In fact, Qian Jinguang thought the same thing even without Mai Zhide saying it, so he nodded immediately after Mai Zhide finished speaking.

"Alright, let's split up and prepare, then meet up again when everything is ready!"

Once the plan was finalized, Mai Zhide didn't linger and immediately turned to leave. Not long after, Qian Jingguang also left the room.

Meanwhile, in a large mansion somewhere in the capital, just like Qian Jinguang and Mai Zhide.

Two people are also plotting something, and what they are plotting happens to be related to Qian Jinguang and Mai Zhide.

These two men are clearly officials just by their demeanor, and one of them has a distinct scholarly air about him.

The two sat facing each other without speaking, which showed that they were both quite calm and composed, and had a good ability to maintain their composure.

After a long silence, the man with the scholarly air turned to the other and slowly spoke:

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard has already set its sights on the Ministry of Works, on that warehouse where the special ink is stored. Those two people are at great risk."

"If the Embroidered Uniform Guard catches them red-handed, it will implicate many people, and the remaining people will also find it difficult to remain uninvolved."

After the scholarly-looking man finished speaking, the person sitting opposite him pondered for a moment before responding.

"Should we get rid of them?"

"No!"

Upon hearing this person's response, the scholarly-looking man slowly shook his head, then spoke again:

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard is keeping a close eye on us now. We can't touch them. Otherwise, if we make any rash moves, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will easily find out what's going on."

"Take note, I suspect that neither of them will sit idly by and wait to be punished; they will definitely rack their brains to find a way to exonerate themselves."

"If they do a good job, we won't have to worry about it. If they mess it up, I've already made arrangements."

"If necessary..."

The scholarly-looking man stopped there, but the meaning behind his words was clear even without being explicitly stated.

So the person sitting opposite him didn't respond, but simply nodded to indicate that he understood, and then got up and left.

Time passed slowly, and soon the sky darkened, with a fiery red sunset hanging high in the sky.

As smoke rose from the chimneys of various houses, the people on the street went home, making the streets much quieter.

Besides the vendors who wanted to sell more goods, you could occasionally hear a few dogs barking from the alleys on both sides of the street.
