Although Wang Mingyi is the closest to Wuyi, he is not the first assassin to come to Wuyi, but unlike other assassins, the generals lived in a post house specially prepared for them after arriving in Wuyi, Wang Mingyi went directly to the hall and lived in the Li family's mansion.

For this point, other assassin histories are also envious, after all, Wang Mingyi met Li Ze when he was most embarrassed, and the two have been working together for a long time.

In addition to his friendship with Li Ze, Wang Mingyi's relationship with another bigwig, Yang Kai, is also extraordinary.

Yes, Yang Kai is now an out-and-out boss in the eyes of all the officials under the jurisdiction of Wuwei Festival Town.

Li Ze stood on the steps in front of the lobby, looking at Wang Mingyi who was striding in and the boxes of gifts brought in behind him, and couldn't help but smile.

He hadn't seen Wang Mingyi for a long time.

After Wang Mingren's death, Wang Mingyi gave up business and entered politics, and after assisting Cao Xin for a period of time, he was directly appointed by Li Ze as the assassin of Yizhou. It's not that Wang Mingyi's ability really has the ability to rule a state, compared to the immature Wang Mingyi, the people who are suitable for sitting in this position are actually stronger than Wang Mingyi.

But this is Li Ze's reward for Cao Xin, and it is also a promise to the Cao and Wang families. Without Cao Xin's strong support, it would be difficult for Li Ze to complete the sweep of the four towns of Henghai. Cao Xin was also the first local magistrate in the four states of Chengde to stand firmly on his side.

Putting this aside, handing over Yizhou to Wang Mingyi also made Li Ze more at ease.

Compared with Zhenzhou, the uncertainty of Zhaozhou and Yizhou are regarded by Li Ze as his basic plate. Wang Mingyi may not have enough ability, but the Cao and Wang families are now closely tied to him, and it can be said that no matter whether Li Zeshun or not, these two families will definitely stand firmly on his side.

At the same time, they are also a bridge between Li Ze and those people in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, and with this buffer, many things have more room for maneuver. Even if there is a conflict, there is ample room for mediation.

"Jie Shuai!" Wang Mingyi, who had a neat mustache on his lips, was full of spring breeze, and he clenched his fists to the ground. "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. It's just a small courtesy, not a tribute, and I hope that the festival is handsome and smiling. ”

Li Ze moved down the steps, and when he came to the taller and taller box, he opened it at will, but he was taken aback, it was actually full of a box of silver ingots, and this box was afraid that there were thousands of taels.

He looked at Wang Mingyi with some consternation, and slapped the box, "This is the gift you gave me?" ”

Wang Mingyi smiled and said: "Jieshuai, I'm just a layman, give gifts, I still think that this white flower, golden things are more enjoyable, there are five boxes of silver, two boxes of gold, and some silk and satin." ”

Li Ze laughed: "It seems that you still know me, and you know that I am short of money now, so I sent me a large amount of money, but this can make you break the bank." Sending such a heavy gift won't make you bankrupt, right? ”

"I have been in business for many years, and I still have some family background." Wang Mingyi smiled and said: "I'm not like you, no matter how much money you have, you can use it, I'm more like a miser, with money, I like to dig cellars and hide at home." My uncle has always taught me a lesson about this! ”

Li Ze laughed and stepped forward to take his hand, and strode towards the hall, "Let's go, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we have to have a good chat, stay for a while Yang Kai will also come over, we are the earliest partners, we want to have a few drinks today." ”

"Yang Kai, that kid, I met you Jieshuai, it's really his creation!" Wang Mingyi sighed: "Before coming this time, I also went to his ancestral grave to take a few peeks to see if there was smoke!" The poor boy who came to me a few years ago is now the guy I need to look up to. ”

"Each has its own circumstances, each has its own creation." Li Ze said with a smile: "He has today, and he has gambled everything himself, but don't say it, in the past two years, he has grown very big." ”

"This guy is really gambling, especially when he pushes him into a hurry." Wang Mingyi said.

The two of them did not distinguish between the guest and the host, sat down across a coffee table, the servant served tea, the two drank two sips, and Li Ze asked: "How do you feel about the history of thorns for more than half a year?" ”

"Difficult!" Wang Mingyi sighed: "It's much more difficult than doing business, and sometimes I really want to pick a pick." This time, I also want to talk to you about my future. ”

"You say." Li Ze nodded.

"I'm not my brother, I really can't do these things." Wang Mingyi stroked his forehead with his hand, "But my uncle and father forced me to do it again, which is really painful." After doing more than half a year, I have become more and more aware that I am not the material that can be in charge of a place, I have studied business since I was a child, and all my wisdom and wisdom have been invested in this, and I am really unable to change course halfway. Of course, I can also be cheeky and do this, I think that the shuai will not see it, but I can't mix it like this, the shuai is when he goes up, and his subordinates are also full of heroes, I heard Yuan Zhou say that this time among the several disciples who came with Mr. Zhang Hui, there are great talents, and there are those who gave up their original official positions and followed. I can't miss the big thing of the festival marshal. So this time, I would like to resign from the post of Assassin of Yizhou. ”

Li Ze pondered for a long time, "Have you talked to your uncle about this?" ”

"Nope!" Wang Mingyi said: "If I tell him, he will definitely oppose it." You also know that Uncle has high expectations of me right now. ”

"Mingyi, you can tell me this so calmly, it proves that you are indeed sincere to me, but now, it is better to be quiet than to move. You also know that I am going to carry out a large-scale rectification of Wuwei Festival Town next, at this time, I still need your support, even if you don't do anything, but as long as you support me in this position, it will be of great help to me. Li Ze said: "Moreover, this matter is not just your business, but also involves the Cao Wang family." Therefore, you must also communicate well with your uncle and father. ”

"In this matter, I'm afraid that the festival commander needs to come forward." Wang Mingyi sighed: "After watching Yang Kai, I understand more that a person must be in a suitable position in order to make better results." Now, I don't in the pit, and I want to do something, but I don't have the opportunity to do it. In the long run, I'm really useless. ”

"I'll work for another half a year, and I'll talk about it after this year." Li Ze patted his palm, "This time your uncle is also coming, and I will have a good talk with him in private." ”

Cao Xin is worried about the glory and continuation of the family, but the current situation has changed a little from the beginning, Cao Zhang's position in Yixingtang is becoming more and more stable, and he is married to Li Mi, the deputy commander of his personal guard, thinking that Cao Xin's future of the Cao family is not like the original gains and losses, he only needs to find a suitable position for Wang Mingyi, and he can accept it.

"In this way, I am relieved." Wang Mingyi smiled with relief, and seemed to have put down the burden of a thousand catties all of a sudden, it seems that the position of Yizhou Assassin is really too much pressure for him.

As he was talking, Tian Bo hurriedly walked in and said to Li Ze: "Son, the two generals, Li Bo and Li Tao, ask to see each other. ”

As soon as he heard that it was these two people, Wang Mingyi stood up and said, "Jie Shuai, then I will leave first." ”

Li Ze waved his hand and said, "Tian Bo, you arrange for Mingyi to rest first, if Yang Kai comes, let him go and chat with Mingyi first, prepare a table in the evening, and I will have a good drink with them." ”

"Yes." Tian Bo stretched out his hand: "Wang Tingshi, please come here." ”

When Wang Mingyi left, Li Ze asked Li Bo and Li Tao to come in.

These two are uncles and brothers with him, but when it comes to love, it is a lot lighter, and his uncle Li Anmin is still studying behind closed doors in the manor where he used to live.

"I've seen the festival handsome!" Li Bo and Li Tao brothers walked in side by side, bowed down, and saluted Li Ze.

"My brother, this is an inner house again, so there is no need to be polite. Two brothers, please take a seat, it's been hard work all the way. Li Ze smiled and asked the two to sit down. Don't call me handsome, in the Li family, I'll do four, just call me the fourth brother. ”

Now Li Bo is under Shi Zhuang, Li Tao is under Wang Sili, one is in Dingzhou and the other is in Yizhou.

The two hesitated for a moment, but Li Bo spoke first: "Jie Shuai is right, you can't write two Li characters in one stroke, between our brothers, blood is thicker than water, even if there are some twists and turns in the past, it does not prevent us from being all descendants of the Li family, one is prosperous and the other is humiliated." ”

"The second brother is right, that's the truth." Li Ze stroked his palms and smiled, Li Bo had been captured by the Lu Longren for a long time, but it seemed that this period of being a captive had made him grow a lot, but Li Tao was still a little restrained.

"The second brother and the third brother have always been in the army, and the direction of Dingzhou and Yizhou is still stable?" Li Ze asked.

"General Shi Zhuang commanded the troops in a good way, which made people convinced, and the Dingzhou army was all subdued." Li Bo said: "In the past six months, I have personally seen the combat effectiveness of the Dingzhou Army rising. ”

"General Wang Sili is an old man of Chengde, with a very high prestige in the army, and the Yizhou army is also extremely stable." Li Che continued.

"Then Dingzhou, Yizhou is still stable as a whole?" Li Ze then asked. Dingzhou and Yizhou have not appointed a new assassin now, and they are concurrently served by Shi Zhuang and Wang Sili.

"Generally speaking, it is still stable, of course, the small mess is still continuous, the remnants of the Wang family are constantly making small moves, and the Lu Long people are also constantly making trouble, but they are all diseases of scabies, and they do not hinder the overall situation. Measuring the land and clearing up the people are all advancing in an orderly manner. If it weren't for the fact that these two places might become the front line of the battle against Lu Long, in fact, the means could have been more intense, and if they could really do that, maybe the matter would have been done a long time ago. ”

"That's right, that's why I have to take my time!" Li Ze said with a smile: "Shi Zhuang and Wang Sili are both stable people. After we hit Zhang Zhongwu hard and shattered some people's dreams, it will be much smoother to make a bold move. ”

The three of them gossiped for a while, and Li Tao kept glancing at Li Bo, and Li Bo also wanted to speak several times and stopped.

"Is there something wrong with the second brother? Just say it! Li Ze said with a smile.

"Fourth brother, Li Tao and I haven't asked my father and mother for more than half a year, this time I came to Wuyi, I want to see my father and mother!" Li Bo was a little embarrassed.

Li Anmin is now equivalent to being under house arrest, speaking of which, the mistake he made at the beginning was not an ordinary problem, and it was already Li Ze's magnanimity to be able to save a life. Even if the two of them arrived in Wuyi, they didn't dare to go to the door at will.

"The second brother and the third brother are going to visit their uncles and aunts, this is a great filial piety, how can I stop the fourth brother? Just go. Li Ze said indifferently: "In the future, if the second brother and the third brother want to see their uncle, they can go at any time." ”

"Is this really possible?" Li Han was pleasantly surprised.

"You can't write two Li characters with one stroke!" Li Ze smiled and said, "We are a family after all." ”

If Li Ze was still a little jealous of Li Anmin before, but now, he is not worried at all. What's more, this uncle really can't say how bad it is. Something like the one that happened last year really can't be judged simply from who is right and who is not.

Li Ze won, Li Anmin softened, in fact, he had already achieved his goal.

When Li Bo and Li Tao heard this, they were overjoyed and immediately stood up.

"Go, go, go!" Li Ze waved his hand, the two brothers were so filial, which made him even happier in his heart.
