Zhao Xun found Li Xun and told him something, Zhao Zhi was ready to reuse Li Xun and let him go to Longyou as a party to make the festival.

After Li Xun heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Zhao Xun took a sip of tea, and when he saw that Li Xun had not spoken for a long time, he chuckled: "Don't be burdened, my father has confidence in you." ”

Li Xun smiled bitterly: "Uncle Emperor has confidence in me, I am grateful, but I have no confidence in myself!" To be honest, I didn't even think about it. ”

"If you are not modest, it is not necessarily."

Zhao Xun said: "Father just has the intention of letting you go to Longyou and be in charge of the military of one side, as for whether it is a position of Jiedu envoy, it is not a matter that is not certain, and you don't have too much psychological burden." ”

Li Xun sighed and said: "The emperor's uncle is really, he dismissed all my official positions for a while, and used me so heavily for a while, to be honest, I couldn't react a little, and my heart was even heavier, for fear that I would not do well, make him angry, and lose your aunt and cousin." ”

"Dog, you think too much, some things, you think simple, then he is very simple, you think complicated, then it is very complicated, it depends on how you think, how you look at it."

Zhao Xun glanced at Li Xun and said meaningfully: "Mother's expectations for you are very high. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work? And.... There are some things that you can't help anymore. ”

Li Xun nodded and said silently: "Since the emperor's uncle can afford me, I will work hard and make a career." ”

Zhao Xun's eyes showed appreciation, he also thought that Li Xun would say the kind of words that did not seek merit but no fault like before, and it could be seen that Li Xun had already understood the truth.

Li Xun is actually very satisfied with the status quo, not much money, but this life is enough, coming out to be an official, it is just to have a good time and have a good time, but sometimes, once you get on the boat, you are thinking about it, it is difficult, the truth, Fan Zhongyun and Li Yi have said to Li Xun several times, even Zhao Xun has vaguely mentioned it, after listening to so much, if Li Xun still doesn't understand the heart, then he is really a fool.

........

In the third year of junior high school, Liu Xie came to visit.

Li Mancang has no relatives anymore, so he and his son Li Xun and Li Yi are the three of them, so in the third year of junior high school, other people's homes are still bustling around, but they have calmed down.

On this day, there was nothing to do anyway, so Li Xun asked Liu Xie to come to the house to talk about something.

"Auspicious New Year, General."

Liu Xie knelt on one knee and gave Li Xun a military salute, and behind him, there were three men who knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"For the New Year, if you don't come to this set, get up!"

"Yes, General."

Liu Xie and the others stood up, all looking at Li Xun with blazing eyes.

Li Xun glanced at a few people, drank a cup of tea, and said with a light smile: "Introduce it!" ”

"General, these three people are all brothers under him, they have known each other for many years, and they can definitely be trusted."

These three people, all about thirty years old, are not very old, respectively called Li Jiuyuan, Hu Zengsi, Chen Hengan, these three people in the capital, are the best among the rangers, to put it bluntly, they are good in the underworld, in this industry, they have a great reputation.

After Liu Xie finished introducing him, Li Xun glanced at them and said lightly: "Zhu Zhengguo should have briefly told you, I have nothing to say, follow me, fame and fortune, I will give you, a few of you, temporarily hang the post of commander in the inspection institute, and if you have merit in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly." ”

"I am willing to serve the general."

Li Jiuyuan, Hu Zengsi, and Chen Hengan were overjoyed, knelt down again, thirsty a few times, and expressed their heartfelt feelings, they met Li Xun for the first time, and they couldn't talk about trust or distrust, but Liu Xie was very familiar with them, this kid, who used to be an errand boy, entered the inspection yard and followed Li Xun, how long has it been? turned out to be a lieutenant, this is a military attache of the sixth grade, maybe in the eyes of some people, it is nothing, but in their opinion, this is a high-ranking official, at least he can show off his military power and return home.

"Specific matters, you listen to Zhu Zhengguo's arrangement, this general has always been clear in rewards and punishments, this point, you can get confirmation from Liu Xie, okay, you retreat first, Liu Xie stays."

"Yes, General."

Li Jiuyuan, Hu Zengsi, and Chen Hengan bowed and then retreated.

Li Xun glanced at Liu Xie and said lightly: "These people, have you believed it?" ”

"If there is a future for following the generals, their sincerity should not be a problem."

Liu Xie thought for a while, and said earnestly: "These people are very open in the capital, they are quite famous among the rangers, and they are very well-informed, if the general wants to establish his own information channel, they will definitely be able to play a great role." ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and smiled at Liu Xie: "Liu Xie, I trust you very much, Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi are busy with the affairs of the inspection institute, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of other things, if you do well, this general will never treat you badly." ”

Li Xun gave Zhu Zhengguo 100,000 taels of silver, as an upfront fund, how to operate, but also need to have a professional person to carry out, Li Xun asked Liu Xie to find someone to do, Liu Xie has done this business before, and also knows a lot of rangers on the road, this matter is done by him, in the suitable, for this matter, Liu Xie is extremely concerned, but also for the original decision, and feel lucky, from nothing, the lowest level of the society, with Li Xun, just over a year, is to achieve the position of captain, for him, It's like a dream, and I firmly believe in my determination to follow Li Xun.

Liu Xie held back the excitement in his heart and bowed deeply: "I am willing to serve the general."

Li Xun smiled and didn't say anything, he never believed in the pretty words on his lips, but for now, Liu Xie's heartfelt words just now should be more sincere, after all... Following himself, there is still a great future, and Liu Xie has no reason to give birth to two hearts for the time being.

"What are you going to do?"

"General, the sources and channels of information are generally from the officials themselves, and there are generally three places that officials go to the most, one is a brothel, the second is a casino, and the third is a high-end restaurant."

Liu Xie told eloquently, after finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xun and saw that he was silent in thought, so he continued: "The 100,000 taels of silver given by the general looks like a lot, but in fact, it is not much, it is a little insufficient to open a decent casino, and it involves too much, the relationship between inside and outside is too responsible, opening a large-scale brothel, 100,000 taels of silver is enough, but the fame and accumulation of brothels can not be formed for a while, and it is difficult for a brothel without fame to attract enough officials to come to the show, which is not conducive to the collection of information....... ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "You can do it yourself, I only look at the results." ”

Liu Xie bowed, the opportunity had been given to him, and it was up to him to see if he could grasp it.
