A man remains a boy until death; along his journey, besides Yang Guifei, his unwavering love, which of the many vibrant and extraordinary women of the Tang Dynasty became his cherished memory? Who else left him with unresolved regrets? Crucially, whether good or evil, all characters possess high intelligence. This alone surpasses 99.9% of Tomato's historical fiction. Highly recommended.

    Their conversation drifted intermittently to Chen Shi and Wang Qi, who were not far away. Chen Shi, holding a cup of "Meditating Light" to warm his hands, whispered, "Seventh Brother, this sounds like a lot of trouble. Should we tell Shaoqing?" Wang Qi, chewing on peanuts, mumbled, "What's the rush? Shaoqing knows, right? Just watch, those who're meant to come will be here soon." His gaze swept across the room, finally settling on Hu Si, who sat alone in a corner booth, a glass of water in front of him, resting with his eyes closed. Shangguan Qin hadn't come tonight, so Hu Si's presence clearly indicated he wasn't just there for dinner. Meanwhile, at one of the centers of this "undercurrent of intelligence"—Su Rong—was seemingly busy moving between tables, urging people to drink, but in reality, his ears were perked up, taking in every whispered snippet. His crimson fox tail swayed slightly behind him with an almost imperceptible rhythm, a habit he had when deep in thought. (This is a huge problem. Collapsed walls, flooding, miasma... And it even involves old foundations and corpse fungus. Each of these things individually is manageable, but all of them combined, coupled with this heavy rain, could easily cause chaos. Zhao Ping wants to shirk responsibility, Qian Mao wants to resolve it but is at a loss... They're all hoping someone else will, or hoping I can leak some information or make some connections.) He quickly calculated in his mind. The collapse of the West Market wall involves the "Pagoda of Suppressing Grievances," a sensitive area. If things go wrong, it could release troublesome things. He needs to let Madam Bai know, and perhaps Qingqiu can "remind" the relevant authorities through some channels. Sewage backflow and corpse fungus... The inn's "mutual aid society" might be able to take the lead in organizing the "aquatic creatures" or knowledgeable spirits in the neighborhood to take a look, at least to control the source of pollution and do favors for both sides of the government. As for the miasma... He needs to let Doraemon and Taoist Master Xuan Gui take a look. One understands energy, and the other understands metaphysics; perhaps they can find a way to temporarily block or purify it. But all of this is predicated on one thing: information must be integrated first, the direction must be clear first, and the inn cannot appear too proactive or capable, otherwise it might backfire. He rolled his eyes, picked up the wine jug, and swayed over to Zhao Ping's table, a warm yet subtly worried smile plastered on his face: "County Commandant Zhao, gentlemen, this rain is annoying, have a drink to ward off the chill. You all look troubled, is something troubling you? Perhaps… you've also heard about the commotion at the West Market?" Zhao Ping glanced at him and sighed: "Manager Rong is very perceptive. Indeed, that wall… sigh, troublesome. This ghost market, really…" He shook his head, not finishing his sentence, but the meaning was clear. "Who says otherwise?" Su Rong sat down casually, lowering his voice. "To be honest, we've heard some rumors around the inn. The area under the wall… seems more complicated than it appears. This matter can't be stopped by force; we need to 'guide' it. I heard that in the old days, dealing with similar situations required using some kind of specific 'talisman,' and it had to be placed by someone knowledgeable. Otherwise, just surrounding it won't solve the problem." He spoke half-truthfully, highlighting the seriousness of the situation (the need for a specific talisman and a knowledgeable person) while hinting at his own knowledge (of how similar situations were handled in the past). He left the question of "how to do it" unresolved, waiting to see Zhao Ping's reaction and offer (it might not be money, but perhaps someone would come and take a look).
