Haiyang City was quickly captured by Liu Jun. Liu Yu asked the army to station directly outside Haiyang City, rest well, and wait for news about Sun Ce's army.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the people of Haiyang City knew that they had experienced a great war last night, and now Haiyang Cheng has changed his master. Ordinary people have no right to interfere with the struggle between rulers. All they want is to eat and drink enough to find a way out for their family. In addition, Liu Yu did not deliberately ask for any changes in Haiyang City, so the people of Haiyang City still opened their doors as usual.

Liu Jun did not make things difficult for anyone in Haiyang City, which made some merchants who were worried about the impact of the war clean up overnight and prepared to leave this place of trouble. They also received news that occupying Haiyang City was His Majesty today. But this could not change their ideas. Even if Gu Cheng had come forward to ensure that they would not be embarrassed, they still wanted to protect their lives and property.

However, before they set off, Gu Cheng and Li Gui let all the merchants gather together to discuss important matters.

Li Gui has a thorough study of people's hearts. He believes that the people are obedient. But those who are rich and powerful are not necessarily the case. So Li Gui wants to gather all these merchants and wealthy families.

Gu Cheng told these merchants that Haiyang City is now the city of the court, and Gu Cheng is already an official of the court. If these merchants now leave Haiyang City just because of concerns about war, Gu Cheng would not have stopped him. However, the ugly saying goes ahead. When Zi arrived in Haiyang City today, he planned to leave first without even going to pay a visit. This was very disrespectful to the Emperor. The most disrespectful to the Emperor was the most executed. Gu Cheng had all the information of these merchants in his hand, and all the merchants in the entire Haiyang City could not escape.

"Everyone, the one next to me is Lord Li, the captain of Sili, and he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty. Today, you can bring Lord Li to get familiar with everyone." Gu Cheng showed Li Gui's identity.

When everyone who was called over heard of Li Gui's identity, they all turned pale. They never expected that the officials with such a vulgar appearance would be the Sili School Captain or the popular man in front of His Majesty. There were several well-informed merchants present, but they did not doubt Gu Cheng's words. On the contrary, they were even more frightened by Li Gui's appearance. They knew that His Majesty now had an absolute confidant, that is, Li Gui, who had been with him since His Majesty's Long Qian and started as a servant.

Seeing that everyone was very frightened, Li Gui was very satisfied and said, "I am a new official and I am not very familiar with Haiyang City. I hope you can help you in the future."

"I dare not!" Everyone present was very modest, and they gave them ten thousand courage and did not dare to show off in front of Li Gui.

Li Gui then said: "Before I came, I heard that many of you were cleaning up your own merits and preparing to leave Haiyang City. This army is in chaos, so there must be something urgent to leave. I wonder if the few people who want to leave can tell me what their difficulties are there? I believe that I still have some ability, and maybe it can help you."

No one spoke, they were not stupid, and they knew that if they said they were leaving Haiyang City now, they would really be disgraceful. And what they said just now is that the word "shortness" would have a lot of war. Maybe Liu Jun would not stop them from leaving Haiyang City, but if any accidents happen after walking away, it would be impossible to guarantee.

A chill circled in everyone's hearts.

Li Gui looked at everyone with a smile. In fact, he was constantly recording the faces of everyone present in his heart. As long as he left Haiyang City at this time, Li Gui would be very rude. Your Majesty is kind and will not force others to stay here. But Your Majesty is kind, does not mean that Li Gui is kind. Li Gui does not guarantee that after they leave Haiyang City, they will encounter any robbers who block the road.

"Sir, look at your appearance, it doesn't seem like what you said. They all hope to stay in Haiyang City and serve Your Majesty." Gu Cheng took the opportunity to say.

Li Gui pretended to be surprised and said, "Is this really the case?"

"Yes!" The others responded quickly, and they couldn't say it was no.

Li Gui touched his beard and said with a smile: "You are loyal and patriotic, and I am very pleased. But the ugly words are ahead. What I hate most in my life is a fat person who breaks his promises. If someone disobeys the slander, I will not be polite to him."

When they said this, everyone present felt the murderous aura hidden by Li Gui. Everyone understood that Li Gui was not a joke.

In this way, Li Gui and Gu Cheng performed a play, successfully suppressing the merchants and wealthy families in Haiyang City, making them no longer dare to leave Haiyang City.

No one said he wanted to leave Haiyang City. Li Gui and Gu Cheng asked them to go home on their own, and they didn't care about food here. The merchants and wealthy families all returned home obediently, and did exactly what Li Gui and Gu Cheng said.

Their every move is monitored by the "Secret Ministry". If they are not a little more obedient, Liu Jun will come to the door to communicate with them well.

After receiving the report that was like his own plan, Li Gui couldn't stop smiling.

"Mr. Li, these people are probably convinced orally! If there is anything wrong with keeping them in Haiyang City, it may be a hidden danger." Gu Cheng said.

Li Gui asked back, "What you mean is to kill them all?"

Gu Cheng was startled and hurriedly explained: "No! Xiaguan didn't mean this. Xiaguan just felt that these people stayed in Haiyang City. If Sun Ce led his troops to kill him, they would be some hidden dangers, so it would be better to let them go."

Gu Cheng is not Li Gui, he does not have the courage to kill so many merchants and wealthy families.

"I didn't let them go because I wanted to let Sun Ce know that our army had arrived in Haiyang City, giving the soldiers more time to repair and his Majesty more time to plan. If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, I would have wanted to kill these bastards." Li Gui said calmly.

Gu Cheng understood, it turned out that this was the plan.

However, Gu Cheng was very worried about Li Gui's murderous intention. This guy would kill him at any time. If he offended him, would he be killed?

It’s really true that no one in the entire Shenwu court dared to offend Li Gui except for a few existences that Li Gui could not afford.

"Okay! All the matters in Haiyang City will be handed over to you. Anyway, you are a local official. I will go back to Your Majesty." Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Gui didn't mean to be too lazy.

Gu Cheng hurriedly sent Li Gui out, very respectful.
