Chapter 285: Intention to go to Pingjiang
Also in the merchant city, in a shop in the North City, Li Sha'er said in surprise: "Big brother, why are you here!" Do you want Zhu Ming's fan to be caught! She was so surprised that her freshly tied hair fell out again without noticing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
His eldest brother Li Jiqian hurriedly looked left and right, and then said, "Be quiet, be careful to let the messenger of the merchant city find out." ā
Li Sha'er also realized that she was talking a little louder at this time, and hurriedly asked everyone else to go out and watch, leaving only herself and her brother in the house. Fortunately, now that the officers have returned, no one should have heard what they said just now.
Li Sha'er continued: "Big brother, you are a famous person on Zhu Ming's wanted list, how can you just go ashore and come to Zhu Ming's territory!" There are still your wanted documents posted outside the city of Shanghai! If you are discovered, you will not be able to run if you want to, and even if you succeed, your business here will be ruined. Big brother, why did you come here despite all this. ā
Then Li Sha'er muttered again: "Sister-in-law is really good, don't stop you." ā
Li Jiqian said: "Don't blame your sister-in-law, she doesn't want me to go ashore, it's just ......."
Li Jiqian got up from his seat, paced and said with emotion: "Little sister, the eldest brother actually knows the problems you mentioned, but I just want to go ashore to take a look." I'm no better than you, you were born on an overseas island, and you have no concept of home. ā
"When I left my hometown, although I was only six years old, I also have memories, I remember the grass and trees in the original house of our family in Pingjiang (Suzhou), the cyan tiles on the eaves, and the white stone slabs in the courtyard."
"Not only in the house, but also in many places in Pingjiang City, I also have memories. Although these things may not be available after the Great War and post-war reconstruction, as long as I arrive at Pingjiang City, I will definitely be able to remember many things and find the location of many places. ā
"It's been 30 years since I left my hometown, 31 years to be exact, and I don't want to go back to my hometown all the time, and I will live a year, even if it is only once, and I am alone."
Li Sha'er was also touched when she listened to Li Jiqian's words. When she was young, although she didn't have any thoughts about her hometown, she was very attached to her relatives, and she felt like a year when she left. The eldest brother's longing for his hometown may be the same as his longing for his relatives.
But after she heard what Li Sha'er said that she wanted to go back to Suzhou for the New Year, she immediately widened her eyes and said, "Big brother, are you crazy!" Shanghai is finally close to the sea, and we still have our own boat parked at the dock, and we can run if we want to. ā
"When I arrived in Pingjiang, although it was my hometown, the people who were related to King Cheng at the beginning had moved to other places, and now for you, eldest brother, it is a raw land, not a cooked land, how can you rashly go to the raw land! If you want to run, you can't run! ā
Li Jiqian said in a calm but firm voice: "Little sister, I know what you said, but I just want to go to Pingjiang to have a look." ā
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it, my cousin Li Jijun is also supported by everyone, if I am caught, let him inherit my position and continue to lead everyone. And even if I get caught, I will never tell you about us. ā
"I've also read all the information about me that we got from the county office, it's quite backward, nothing is allowed, they know me at most, they don't know if it's true or false when I say anything nonsense, and they won't implicate the shop here at all."
Li Sha'er also knew her eldest brother Li Jiqian, and knew that he had made up her mind when she spoke like this, but she still didn't give up, so she choked up and said, "Big brother, if you are caught, what will I do?" She tried to move Li Shaer with her affection.
Li Sha'er touched her head and said, "The successor is also from our Li family, Jijun is not bad, and he won't embarrass you." ā
"It's just that I won't let you continue like this, and I will definitely let you get married. But that's fine, you'll be sixteen after the New Year, and it's time to get married. It's because I spoil you too much that you don't get married. ā
Li Sha'er saw that her family's emotions were useless, and she began to use various other means to dispel Li Jiqian's idea of moving to Pingjiang, but it was useless. Li Jiqian hugged Li Sha'er and said, "I may not be caught." The portrait of Zhu Ming's official mansion was painted according to his description when a pirate who saw me defected to the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago, and I have changed a lot in the past ten years, and I may not be recognized. ā
Li Sha'er curled up in Li Jiqian's arms and could only nod. accepted the reality that Li Jiqian was going to Pingjiang, and could only think about things for the better.
When drinking in the evening, Li Jiqian told his companion that he was going to Pingjiang. At first, everyone thought he was joking, or talking nonsense when he was drunk, but then Li Jiqian's serious expression, as well as the words of Li Sha'er, who was sitting next to him and not drinking, let everyone know that he was not joking or talking nonsense.
Immediately, everyone began to object, but even his own sister couldn't persuade him, and of course these companions couldn't persuade him.
After Li Jiqian said that if he was caught, Li Jijun would be his successor, everyone's reaction was mixed, but the words against Li Jiqian going to Pingjiang disappeared.
No matter how small an organization is, as long as there are more than three people, there will definitely be factions. Although the existence of such factions may not affect the healthy development of the organization, in fact, sometimes it will promote the development of the organization, but there will be factions.
Although everyone accepts Li Jiqian as the boss, those close to Li Jijun also hope that Li Jijun will be the boss. Others, especially young people, thought of Li Sha'er. Li Jijun is the boss, and he will definitely marry Li Sha'er. And their pirate/maritime gang is a typical acquaintance society, and everyone is unruly, and anyone can marry Li Sha'er.
There are also some people who actually don't like their resolute opposition to Zhu Ming's strategy now, and they actually have faint hopes for Li Jiqian's problem. Da Ming is powerful, there is no benefit to confrontation, even if people are unwilling to recruit An, most of them are unwilling to maintain this situation of working against Da Ming.
Since it can't be said by the public, in the end I have to accept the reality that Li Jiqian went to Pingjiang. However, although everyone has such and such thoughts, most people still don't want Li Jiqian to have an accident and hope that he can come back safely.
That night, Li Jiqian didn't set off tomorrow, and he would celebrate the New Year with everyone tomorrow night, so he drank a lot and got drunk with everyone. And on this day, even Li Sha'er, who doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, drank with her head down, almost drunk, and was helped back by her daughter-in-law who had a good relationship.
