When Yinghan and his henchmen were enthusiastically discussing the matter of Ixan's "going to his own office", Li Shizhong and his henchmen were also doing similar things, but the atmosphere and mood were very different.

Yinghan's suspicions are not unreasonable: Zhang Liufu rebelled and did contact Li Shizhong.

Zhang Liu, a big man who doesn't know a basket and smells of sea salt, doesn't know who he asked to write a very solid letter, which said that Liu Changyou rectified the Changlu salt method, "peeling the skin and eating the flesh, knocking the bone and sucking the marrow", and the brothers have no way to live. He also said that "today's long reed, Ming Zhi's two Huai", we are "lips and teeth cold", I hope that "Shouwang" can "move north and south together, and participate in the great cause together", and after the deed is completed, we are willing to "serve Shouwang as the co-master".

He also said that when "the New Year is approaching", the imperial court will be caught off guard, and we will "go straight to the Qing court" and "shake the big and small chiefs together", "the snake will not work without a head", it will lead to "great chaos in the world", "the volunteers will swarm", and we will "take the lead in advocating righteousness and spreading the heroes", then "the big thing will be harmonious"!

He also cited the story of the Tianli Sect's invasion of the Forbidden City in the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, saying that "the heroic deeds, the reverberation, the regret of the failure, the strong man chokes, and the hero rests", and then, please "Shouwang" think twice: At that time, if the people who attacked the Forbidden City were not just a hundred, but a thousand or two thousand, what would the situation be?

Looking at it afterwards, it was like a fool's dream, but when Li Shizhong showed his letter, it seemed quite reasonable. Li Shizhong is not unmoved, but his vision, after all, is not comparable to Zhang Liu, knowing that the odds of victory are difficult to determine, hesitating again and again, seeking it under the heart, but the people below are one-sided and think that Liu Changyou is tossing in Zhili, and it is a matter of two Huai and one hair? The knife didn't cut into himself, so why should he live a good life and go to the fire for others?

The words of the subordinates make sense. According to past experience, the rectification of salt affairs is the business of a province or a governor, and there has never been a nationwide rectification of salt affairs at the same time. Zhang Liuxin said that "today's long reed, tomorrow's two Huai", "lips and teeth are cold" or something, the possibility is very low.

The risk is too great, the benefits are uncertain, and no one is forcing you to rebel, so forget it.

Li Shizhong politely refused, originally thinking that without his own help, Zhang Liu would cancel the plan to start an incident, but he didn't expect this kid to ignore it and act on schedule!

What I didn't expect was that Zhang Liu was so powerful that he hit the edge of Gyeonggi all the way!

Li Shizhong's heart moved: Can't it be, Zhang Liu, this kid can really achieve great things? !

After Zhang Liu's incident, the contact with Li Shizhong was not only uninterrupted, but also closer. The messengers were on the way, and the letter looked like he didn't care about his previous suspicions, repeatedly urging Li Shizhong to "raise troops to respond", and kept saying that after the matter was completed, he still had to "serve King Shou as the co-master".

At that time, Li Shizhong was really moved, and planned to really be invited by Zhang Liu to "participate in the grand event". However, the opinions of the people below him are too different, and his forces are relatively scattered, and they can be summoned overnight, so they have been procrastinating and have not been decided.

Fortunately, this "procrastination"!

Within a few days, there was news that Zhang Liu's army was defeated and captured, and thousands of salt people who rebelled were slaughtered by the Xuan army by the Daqing River.

Li Shizhong increased the amount with his hand: Fortunately! Fortunately!

"Fortunately", the worry came up: is it really not "cold lips and teeth"?

After so many years of mixing and going through a lot of winds and waves, Li Shizhong still has the eyesight: poking out such a big basket, Liu Changyou actually did not receive any punishment, which proves that the imperial court supports the rectification of salt affairs, uh, will it really not be "the long reed of today, the two Huai of the tomorrow"?

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became.

The thought of rebellion was not daring to come - whether it was him, or the people below him, shuddered at the thought of the piles of bones and the red water of the Daqing River.

Li Shizhong and his henchmen are all people who have survived a hundred battles, and they have seen a lot of corpses and mountains and sea of blood, but this situation has never been encountered: in the battle of the Daqing River, not a single salt man who could breathe was left, and it is said that the Xuan army that encircled and suppressed received an order from "above" - "not to surrender"!

There is a way to "kill people and set fires to be recruited", and without the retreat of "Zhao'an" in the back, the "murder and arson" in front is not fun.

Think about the sharpness of Xuan Jun again, alas!

Thinking about it, if you really want to rebel, no matter what, you can't escape the fate of Zhang Liu's Daqinghe.

This can't be made, but what if people really cut the meat with a knife?

Just when there was a lot of discussion and inconsistency, the news came that Ixan "went to Anhui on his own business".

Li Shizhong called a group of henchmen to "meet" in his mansion.

Everyone was a thief, and instinctively felt that Ixan's trip was afraid that there would be something unfavorable to him, and when he came to the meeting, his mood was relatively depressed. The "meeting room" was not well lit, and the smoke added to the oppressive atmosphere.

The smoke originated from the couch -- Li Shizhong was addicted to smoking, and he had to get over his addiction before he could have a mental meeting.

The couch is a large copper bed with a combination of Chinese and Western styles, a cigarette tray is placed horizontally in the middle of the bed, and on both sides of the cigarette tray, a quilt with a wrinkled surface of the flower lake is laid out, folded into a mattress, and a large pillow is placed on it.

At this time, Li Shizhong was lying on the mattress on the left, and on the mattress on the right, sat one of his concubines, nicknamed "Little Baijing", with fine skin and tender meat, small hands and feet, and an authentic "Yangzhou Thin Horse".

"Little Baijing" has a cigarette stick in his right hand and an ivory anvil in his left hand, and he is foaming on the crystal cigarette lamp. I saw her while playing, while rolling, two white and tender little hands up and down, extremely skillful, after a while into a yellow and loose big smoke bubble, and then, the smoke bubble on the "bucket door", turn around, while baking and pinching, finally, with a hot cigarette stick on the big smoke bubble to hit a through to the end of the eye.

Even if everything is cleaned up, "Xiao Baijing" held the cigarette gun in both hands and handed it to Li Shizhong on the left hand side of the cigarette tray.

Li Shizhong took it, aimed at the fire, and pumped it "sand, sand, sand".

"Little Baijing" moved out of bed, put on her shoes, smiled at the four people sitting in front of the couch, and went out with Nana.

The white neck seemed to be transparent in front of her, and some people, their eyes were involuntarily led by her, and their heads were twisted all the way, and when she went out, she woke up, her throat gurgled, she swallowed saliva, and said in her heart: This little girl! If you put it under Lao Tzu's body......

The "Shou King", who was swallowing clouds and spitting fog on the couch, didn't seem to notice any changes in his subordinates.

Li Shizhong finished a cigarette in one go, put down the cigarette gun, took a sip of hot tea, closed his eyes, and slowly puffed out white smoke from his nostrils.

The pleasant appearance of "Shouwang" almost hooked the addiction of the people below.

When the smoke finally finished, Li Shizhong let out a long breath, sat up, and said, "What should I think of this?" Let's talk about it. ”
