Song Yaoyao: [If it really comes to that, I'll negotiate with him. If negotiations fail, I have plenty of ways to deal with him.
You'll find out exactly what those ways are when the time comes.
Nothing has happened yet, so let's not worry about things that might never happen.
I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how their Soul Exchange turns out!]
Guagua: [So am I!]
Over the next few days, Song Yaoyao and the others went out for strolls through the streets, simply to join in the excitement.
The streets and alleys were especially lively these days, with everyone talking about Feiye, puppets, and the like.
The teahouses were even more bustling!
Qi Yanzhen told everyone that Feiye was already on his way back to the Capital. The moment he set foot in the city, the Government Office would arrest him.
When the time came, he would hear the case publicly and give the people an explanation.
As for the public's chatter, Qi Yanzhen instructed the government troops to keep one eye open and the other shut, leaving it alone.
Song Yaoyao: [Is Qi Yanzhen allowing the people freedom of speech?
Is he trying to tell everyone that this has nothing to do with him and that his conscience is clear?]
Guagua: [Yes, that's exactly what Qi Yanzhen means!]
Song Yaoyao: [Qi Yanzhen might as well put up a sign saying, "No three hundred taels of silver buried here."

Feiye is no pushover. With all these charges being pinned on him, would he really accept them?

How will Qi Yanzhen keep his act going then?]
Seated at the table,
