The next morning, Li Jie came to Zhan Shifu as usual, but he didn't have the heart to go to class, and he was also thinking about Jinyiwei, yesterday he had already instructed Jinyiwei to collect the list of wealthy merchants in the capital and the surrounding areas, and the 400,000 yuan he promised Lao Zhu would come out of these people.

Of course, Li Jie will never do anything stupid to kill chickens and take eggs, but has a plan to kill multiple birds with one stone, and then those rich businessmen will definitely scramble to send the money to him, not to mention only 400,000 yuan, even if it is doubled, Li Jie is confident that he will do it.

"Li Banyu, I heard that you went to the Zhenfu Division yesterday and humiliated Mao Xiang well?" As soon as Li Jie entered the room where the class was held, Zhu Yunxi immediately came up with an excited face.

"How do you know?" Li Jie was also a little strange when he heard this, although there were many people in Jinyiwei yesterday, but with Mao Xiang's temper, he would definitely issue a gag order, otherwise his face would be lost if it was spread out, and it was even more impossible for Zhu Yunxi to get the news in the palace.

"Hehe, yesterday Mao Xiang went to the imperial grandfather to complain, and I happened to be there, but the imperial grandfather didn't care at all, just asked him to do his best!" Zhu Yunxi smiled smugly when he said this.

Li Jie was not surprised when he heard this, just a Mao Xiang, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it is estimated that he is about to become an outcast, in contrast, Li Jie's status in Lao Zhu's heart is increasing day by day, and the two cannot be compared at all.

But at this time, Zhu Yunxi said with some annoyance, "You should have brought me yesterday, I would have seen that Mao Xiang unpleasant!" ”

When mentioning Mao Xiang, Zhu Yunxi also looked angry, after all, when Mao Xiang went to arrest Li Zhu and his wife that day, he didn't take him seriously at all, and in the end, he couldn't even come forward, until Zhu Yuning pulled out his knife and faced each other, which forced the other party to retreat, and Zhu Yunxi has always kept this matter in mind.

"Yesterday, His Majesty also suddenly ordered me to do something, and I need the cooperation of Jinyiwei, so I don't have time to inform you at all, but if you are interested, you can go with me to the Zhenfu Division at noon today." Li Jie said with a smile, Zhu Yunxi doesn't seem to have anything to do recently, just let him follow him, and he can learn something.

"Great!" When Zhu Yunxi heard that he could still go to Zhenfu Division to play prestige, he immediately shouted excitedly.

However, this made Zhu Yunwen next to him glare at them very unhappily, and then said accurately: "Learn these intrigues all day long, how can it be done by a gentleman?" ”

Zhu Yunxi is no longer the timid and cowardly child he used to be, and when he heard Zhu Yunxi's sarcasm, he immediately replied: "It's really naïve!" Do you think those people in officialdom will talk to you about any gentleman? If this kind of words reach the ears of the emperor's grandfather, I am afraid that it will make his old man laugh and lose his big teeth! ”

"You...... Rude, who taught you to talk to your brother like this! Zhu Yunxi couldn't argue with Zhu Yunxi, and immediately took out his brother's identity to suppress him.

"Taishi Gongjiao, brother and brother Gong, as an elder brother, you often make sarcastic remarks to your brother, do you still expect me, as a younger brother, to respect you?" Zhu Yunxi's mouth also became very powerful, and he unceremoniously fought back again.

"As an elder brother, I naturally have the responsibility to teach you, is it still wrong to say that you are two sentences?" Zhu Yunwen's face turned red with anger.

"Hmph, I don't need you to teach, you better take care of yourself!" Zhu Yunxi said again unceremoniously.

In the past, Zhu Yunxi felt that Zhu Yunxi was a mountain that he could not overcome, no matter how hard he tried, he could not surpass him, but now after following Li Jie and gaining a lot of knowledge, he found that his brother was pedantic and naïve, and he often took out his brother's frame to teach himself, which Zhu Yunxi was of course very unconvinced.

Looking at the quarrel between Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, Li Jie did not intervene, but he was very satisfied with Zhu Yunxi's performance, although it was only a few months, Zhu Yunxi was completely like a different person, completely without the previous inferiority complex and timidity, it seems that his education is still very successful.

Fortunately, the gentleman who was in class walked in at this time, and the two Zhu Yunxi brothers had to stop arguing, and when the morning class was just over, Zhu Yunxi immediately couldn't wait to pull Li Jie into the carriage, and then rushed to the Zhenfu Division as fast as possible.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Zhenfu Division, and when Li Jie got out of the carriage, the brocade clothes in front of the door also showed awe when they saw him, after all, even their boss Mao Xiang was humiliated by Li Jie, let alone them.

Zhu Yunxi also came to Zhenfu Division for the first time, and when he got out of the car, he also looked at it curiously, but someone in the Jinyi guard recognized him, and he was immediately startled again, and then saw someone walking out quickly to greet him, but when Li Jie saw this person, his face was cold.

"Xiaguan Hu Jiang meets His Royal Highness the King of the County and meets Li Banyu!" Hu Jiang strode forward and saluted.

"Uncle Hu doesn't have to be polite, is Mao Xiang hiding?" Li Jie sneered again at the end, Mao Xiang knew that he was coming today, but he didn't see anyone, obviously hiding and refusing to see him.

"This ......" I saw Hu Jiang also smile awkwardly, "Commander Mao went home last night and contracted the wind chill, so he asked for leave in the past few days, and assigned me to obey Li Banyu's command!" ”

Hu Jiang was actually very reluctant, after all, his relationship with Li Jie was very awkward, but Mao Xiang assigned him to obey Li Jie's dispatch, which was obviously done to disgust Li Jie.

"Hehe, a dignified Jinyi guard is in command, and he actually learns from others to pretend to be sick, which is really promising!" Zhu Yunxi next to him also said sarcastically, he wanted to get back the last scene, but he didn't expect Mao Xiang to avoid it, which made him very disappointed.

"Li Banyu, why don't we go directly to Mao Xiang's house, pull him out of bed, and see how he pretends to be sick!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly thought of a way at this time, and immediately proposed excitedly.

"Forget it, it's still important to get down to business, let's go in and talk about it!" Li Jie thought about it, and Hu Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately invited the two of them into the Zhenfu Division, and immediately sent a thick roster.

Li Jie opened the roster and found that this was the roster of wealthy businessmen he wanted, and I have to say that Jinyiwei is still very reliable, this roster is not only detailed, but also classified according to their business, such as grain merchants, cloth merchants, and so on.

Li Jie sat on the chair and carefully read the roster several times, and finally came to pen and ink, and then drew a circle of the names of some people on the roster, and then handed it to Hu Jiangdao: "Uncle Hu, you sent someone to send invitations to these rich businessmen who painted my circle, and said that I will hold a banquet here in the Zhenfu Division tomorrow afternoon, and then I have something important to discuss with them!" ”

"Hold a banquet at the Pacification Division?" Hu Jiang also showed a look of surprise when he heard this, Zhenfu Si is not a place to eat, this is the old nest of Jinyiwei, I am afraid that those rich businessmen will be scared half to death when they receive the invitation, how can they still be in the mood to eat?

"It's just to have a banquet here, but it won't work anywhere else!" Li Jie smiled proudly, but when he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said again, "Change it, you give the roster to Mao Xiang, and let Mao Xiang personally send invitations to these rich businessmen!" ”

"What?" Hu Jiang also screamed in fright when he heard this, Mao Xiang was the commander of the dignified capital, controlling the Jinyi Guard, and asked him to send invitations to a group of businessmen, if this was spread, Mao Xiang would probably be discredited!

"Virtuous nephew, you don't have to think about it anymore, the commander is also a figure with a face in the court, if you completely fall out with him, I'm afraid it won't be good for you in the future!" Hu Jiang eagerly also directly used Li Jie's previous title, and also persuaded him bitterly.

Li Jie smiled calmly when he heard this, and he was also a little relieved in his heart, Hu Jiang's performance at least did not disappoint him, so he thought about it for a moment, and immediately pulled Hu Jiang aside and whispered: "Uncle Hu, for the sake of helping me before, I have something to remind you!" ”

"You say!" Hu Jiang saw that Li Jie was so mysterious, and even threw Zhu Yunxi aside to talk to him alone, which made his expression solemn all of a sudden.

"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking!" Li Jie lowered his voice again.

Hu Jiang also gasped when he heard this, he was able to achieve the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, of course he was not a stupid person, so he immediately heard the meaning of Li Jie's words, but then he still asked in disbelief: "Virtuous nephew, this is not a joke, are you sure ......?"

"100% sure, Mao Xiang's good days are numbered, you'd better plan early, so as not to be implicated by him in the future!" Li Jie said again with an affirmative expression.

If someone else said this, Hu Jiang might still be suspicious, but Li Jie is different, he is not only a close minister of His Majesty and the Prince, but Li Shanchang was all over the house before, but only Li Jie kept his parents alive, which he knows very well as Jinyiwei, so Hu Jiang firmly believes that Li Jie's judgment will definitely not be wrong.

"Thank you, nephew!" Hu Jiang solemnly saluted Li Jie.

"Uncle Hu is polite!" Li Jie also returned the salute, and then pointed to the roster in his hand and said, "Don't forget to hand over the roster to Mao Xiang, you can tell him that this matter is related to His Majesty's plan, as long as he still has a breath, even if he climbs, he must crawl to hand over the invitation to those rich businessmen, if it is because he spoils His Majesty's plan, just wait to bear His Majesty's wrath!" ”

"I see!" Hu Jiang immediately did not hesitate, and turned around and left after speaking, since Mao Xiang was about to lose power, he had no scruples.

Looking at the back of Hu Jiang leaving, Zhu Yunxi stepped forward again and asked with a puzzled expression: "Li Banyu, you invited those rich businessmen to come to the banquet of Zhenfu Division, and let Mao Xiang, the commander, personally send invitations, I'm afraid it will scare those rich businessmen half to death, right?" ”

"All I want is to scare them half to death, only then will the next plan go more smoothly!" Li Jie smiled smugly again.

Later Lu Xun once said: "The Chinese always like to reconcile and compromise, for example, if you say, this house is too dark, you must open a window here, everyone will not allow it." But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will reconcile and be willing to open the windows. ”

The truth of the above sentence is correct, but there is no need to only talk about the Chinese, because as long as it is human, there will be weaknesses in this regard! Li Jie is now taking advantage of this human weakness in order to better achieve his own goals.
