Li Jingmao understands very well that he will cut off all ties between himself and Xu Yi by cutting off Xu Yi.

It is true that it is possible to keep itself, but the problem is obviously also huge.

Brother-in-law Fang Chenghong has invested a lot of money in Xu Yi's business now, and even this money has been overspent.

The reason why Li Jingmao was able to achieve his current position was not because when he was reporting in Jinling, he met a noble man from the household department.

That noble man arranged for Li Jingmao to have such a big fat difference as the prefect of Songjiang, and gave Li Jingmao a chance to take another step forward when Li Jingmao's career had run out of oil.

Of course, the cost is also enormous.

Li Jingmao needs to give this noble man a large amount of wealth every year, and this amount has exceeded the amount of wealth that Li Jingmao has collected in Songjiang Mansion.

This noble man gave Li Jingmao a chance, but the price was that Li Jingmao had to keep letting his brother-in-law steal and cheat for this goal, relying on Li Jingmao's power to plunder the wealth of ordinary people.

Fang Chenghong is just a tool, Li Jingmao's tool in exchange for career progress.

Li Jingmao is just a tool, that noble man used the position of the prefect of Songjiang to get countless wealth through Li Jingmao's means.

Li Jingmao looked at himself like a poor dog, who was manipulated to this position, neither advancing nor retreating, and now he is in a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger.

Fang Chenghong's proposal is indeed very good, and it can help Li Jingmao preserve his greatest strength.

But in the next step, Fang Chenghong had a huge deficit.

The nobles of Jinling will definitely not be able to reach the promised number.

The consequence is that the nobleman feels that Li Jingmao's tool is not easy to use, so he finds an opportunity to make Li Jingmao ruined, and then change people after Li Jingmao is killed, and continue the nobleman's plan to accumulate wealth.

Nothing has changed, except for Li Jingmao's head, nothing has changed.

Li Jingmao sent Fang Chenghong away, and he was alone in the study in a daze, he really finished playing this time.

Knock~knock~knock~

There was a knock on the door.

Li Jingmao shouted impatiently and came in, I don't know who in the house today doesn't have a long memory, and came to touch his brow.

Just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but Li Jingmao was shocked at this time.

The person who came was none other than Xu Yi.

At this time, Xu Yi was wearing a subordinate's clothes and suddenly appeared in Li Jingmao's study.

"Master Li, long time no see."

Xu Yi said hello easily, but Li Jingmao was scared.

"You.... Xu Yi? ”

"Now the whole city wants you, how did you get in?"

Li Jingmao didn't know whether he was weak or really afraid, but when he saw Xu Yi at this time, he subconsciously retreated.

"Don't worry, Master Li, although Shen Qing now sees me like a thorn in his side, I still come and go freely."

"The problem lies with you, Lord Li Jingmao. Do you know why I came to you? ”

Xu Yi's words shocked Li Jingmao, and now that Xu Yi has come to the door, there is only one reason.

They want to fight against Shen Qing, they want to pull themselves against Shen Qing.

This thought came together, Li Jingmao couldn't help but fight a cold war, what kind of person is Shen Qing, and what kind of person can they fight against these stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

If Shen Qing wanted to kill anyone in Songjiang Mansion, he could do it with his own power, it was just a matter of whether he wanted to do it or not.

Wanting to fight against Shen Qing, Li Jingmao couldn't help but break out in a few drops of cold sweat on his head.

"Xu Yi, I know what you mean, what you want is to unite me against Shen Qing."

"Also, Lord Shen's background, you may not know."

"You, a young descendant who has never been out of Songjiang Mansion, don't know how many hidden dragons and crouching tigers there are in Jinling."

"You have to think about your future, the person behind Lord Shen is not something you and I can provoke....."

Li Jingmao said bitterly, but he didn't expect Xu Yi's words to make Li Jingmao directly dumbfounded.

"Oh, it's that Li Heting, right, the Li family in Jinling, right?" Xu Yi added.

Li Heting, Li family.

These two words shook Li Jingmao's heart, and he, the prefect of Songjiang, was also secretive about the Li family.

Even the noble man of Li Jingmao, compared to the Li family in Jinling, is dwarfed and does not dare to compare with him.

With Li Jingmao's location, if he visits in person, he may not even be able to enter the door of Li's house.

Such an immortal, what makes him want to fight?

On the other hand, Xu Yi was able to mention this name, which shows that Xu Yi seems to have a great background, and Li Jingmao really doesn't know Xu Yi's depth.

"Xu Yi, how did you know the name Li Heting?"

"You are just an illegitimate son of the Xu family, and you just entered the Xu family not long ago,"

"It's a coincidence to enter the Xu Mansion, you can't be a member of the Xu Yucai faction. The Xu Liu clan regards you as a thief, and you can't be a member of the Xu Liu clan. ”

"It was originally a coincidence that you entered the Xu Mansion, and the prefect also added fuel to the fire, and finally pushed you."

"Xu Yi, you don't have any background, you just rely on your enthusiasm and rely on yourself to have a good brain."

"You have to know Xu Yi, in this Ming country, a good brain is never important, the important thing is to have a background."

"If you have a brain, you are nothing without a background."

When Li Jingmao said this, there was a little sadness in his tone.

"Governor Li, is it really a coincidence that I entered the Xu family?"

"Think about the process again? Who has benefited the most in the whole process? ”

Hearing Xu Yi say this, Li Jingmao's mind had a flash of inspiration, and an idea suddenly popped up, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

All this, a chain reaction of general events.

Could it be that Xu Yi directed and acted himself?

Giving away medicines, selling medicines, and the people surrounded Huating County.

The three major families and the two major yamen fought openly and secretly.

In the end, a scapegoat was introduced, and the scapegoat inadvertently became a hero again.

All of this, in the end, the biggest benefit, turned out to be......

Xu Yi?

A person who is not in everyone's eyes?

Thinking of this, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Li Jingmao's head.

Such a stroke, such a calculation, was designed by such a young man.

In Songjiang Mansion, a Shura field where tigers and wolves are rampant, the river and the sea are overturned, like a fish in water.

Treating all the high-ranking adults in Songjiang Mansion as wanton play as three-year-old children, Li Jingmao really can't believe this.

Seeing Li Jingmao's expression, Xu Yi knew that he had been shocked, and now his cognition was in chaos, and it was time to take advantage of it.

Give Li Jingmao a step down and let him accept a reasonable explanation, or a reasonable lie.

Whether it's true or not, whether it's a lie or not, as long as it's reasonable.

In the case of helplessness, people always choose explanations that can paralyze themselves.

So, Xu Yi immediately said.

"I'm just a kid, where did I set up such a bureau?"

"Think about it, who's behind me?"

"Who the hell wants to rebel against Shen Qing, Liu Wenxian?"

"You know the answer."

Hearing Xu Yi's persuasion, a familiar figure appeared in Li Jingmao's mind at this time.

It turns out that the people behind it all.

It turned out to be....
