Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis rule is applicable everywhere, Beijing will be divided into four cities, east, west, north and south because of the different status of residents, and Guilin is naturally the same.

The west of the city is where the local powerful and powerful Tusi lords gather to live, this area is occupied by the aurora, and at the same time, the decoration is far more magnificent than other places in the mansion and courtyard, of course, these statements are only relative to the generally shabby residences here in Guangxi, if these houses are placed in the Central Plains, Jiangnan, or even Beijing, it is really nothing.

In this mansion, there is one that is obviously more luxurious than the others, just the stone lion standing outside the gate, it is enough to be a little tall, plus the more than ten Miao men standing in front of the door, with big shoulders and round waists, and fierce faces, it makes the ordinary people who pass by not dare to look up carefully.

This is the mansion of Li Muda, the highest-ranking and most powerful Tuzhi Prefecture among the many Tusi masters in Guilin City today. Although the surname of this family is Li, it is a Miao person with a very positive bloodline, I heard that it is because his ancestors were canonized by the Li Tang Dynasty, so he has this surname, as for the original surname, after so many years, they have long forgotten it. These foreigners do not pay as much attention to their ancestors as the Han people, and they do not have the concept of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.

But this legend alone is enough to inspire awe in those who know. It was nearly a thousand years ago, which shows how long this Li Tusi family is, no wonder the power here is so great.

Xu Chongchuan walked into the gate of the Li family the next morning, because he had been here several times before, and the Li family, like many foreigners, did not pay too much attention to the etiquette of some Han people, so no one stopped him from passing the ceremony or anything, so he let him enter the house and went directly into the front yard.

As soon as he entered the front yard, Xu Chongchuan was attracted by the scene in front of him, only to see more than a dozen stripped men tied to the stone pillars with the thickness of ordinary people's waists, and in front of them, there were one or two fierce house slaves holding barbed leather whips, and they were being severely whipped on their bodies. If this whip goes down, a large piece of flesh and blood will be torn off immediately, and Xu Chongchuan's eyelids will jump when he sees it.

In the midst of a wail, a middle-aged man dressed as a Han housekeeper saw him and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Xu, you are finally here, our master Tusi is thinking about how to find you." "It's a polite word, but it's not so friendly.

"It turned out to be Steward Chen." Xu Chongchuan arched his hand at the other party, he wanted to find out why the other party was looking for him, so he didn't ask the reason, but glanced at the tortured people with some curiosity: "What did they do?" Why do you have to suffer like this? ”

"Actually, I didn't make any big mistakes, but because the old man has been in a bad mood recently, they are making mistakes, so naturally they have to suffer a little." Steward Chen pursed his lips disapprenously, which led Xu Chongchuan to the back.

In Guangxi, where the emperor is far away, especially where the Tusi master holds absolute power, the slaves in their family are actually closer to the slaves thousands of years ago, and they can be disposed of by the master at will. Don't say that you have committed a crime, but you have not committed a crime, just because the host's family does not like you, or if you raise your face slightly when you kowtow, you can ask someone to beat you to death.

In this regard, Xu Chongchuan has been in Guangxi and other places for many years, but he is also used to it, only frowning slightly, and did not say much. However, there is one thing he can guess, this Li Da Tusi is so angry, it must be related to the recent changes in Guilin City.

Unlike the thin and flexible body of most Miao people, the body of Li Muda, the big toast, is as strong as a mountain, and stuffed in a wide chair gives people the illusion that the chair will collapse at any time. But his fat face definitely does not have the kind appearance of an ordinary fat man, but looks extraordinarily fierce and gloomy, especially when he is unhappy in his heart, that kind of momentum makes people dare not gasp.

At this moment, there were two handsome slave girls in front of Li Tusi who were beating his back and legs for him, while he was frowning and closing his eyes, sitting on the chair as if he was asleep. Just by looking at the cautious looks of the two slave girls, you can know how much they are afraid of this toast master.

It wasn't until Steward Chen walked up to him and whispered about Xu Chongchuan's arrival that Li Muda slowly opened his eyes and swept Xu Chongchuan's body a few times with a gaze shining like a poisonous snake before he said, "It turns out that you still dare to come, I ran away early." ”

These Miao people speak directly, and they don't know what it means to leave room at all. After evaluating the other party's performance with disdain, Xu Chongchuan bowed his hand without being arrogant or humble: "What Li Tusi said, I have an agreement with you first, how can I abandon it?" ”

"Really? Maybe that's because you don't know what's going on in Guilin yet. There are already many people under my command who have been taken away by those imperial court yamen. Speaking of this, his eyes were already viciously fixed on Xu Chongchuan's body: "They were originally intended to be used by me to cooperate with you to seize the city, but now they have been taken away by the government." If the government tortures something from them, even I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out. I really regret that I would have listened to your big words and made such a decision. ”

He came up because of anger, and the more he said this, the faster he spoke, the louder he spoke, and the momentum suddenly came up, so that Steward Chen didn't feel a little weak, and his steps couldn't help but retreat. And the two slave girls beside him were even more frightened, but they didn't dare to pause in the movements of their hands, but they looked like two frightened birds, pitiful.

Only Xu Chongchuan was still standing there with the old god on the ground, and he didn't even see the slightest change in the smile on his face. It wasn't until the other party finished speaking that he arched his hand and said, "Master Tusi's words are serious, and I came here today for this change in the city." In fact, it is normal for the government to have such a reaction, after all, what we are going to do is a big thing that no one has ever done, and it is quite normal to have some twists and turns. ”

"Hah...... Normal? Now I really regret cooperating with you, if something goes wrong then, your White Lotus Sect can just pat yourself and leave, we Tusi and so many clansmen were born and raised here, but what should we do? Although his status is not low, Li Tusi obviously has not learned the Han way of speaking, and he still has something to say.

Pressing down the disdain in his heart again, Xu Chongchuan said: "Li Tusi, what you said is wrong again, our Holy Sect has spent countless hours and efforts for today's major events over the years, how can we run away because of a small problem?" ”

"A small question? Now that the government is on guard against us, is that still a minor problem? Maybe it won't take a few days, and the imperial court will send a large army to deal with us. Li Tusi snorted.

"You can rest assured of this, there are our people outside Guilin now, and it is not so easy for them to contact outside. Moreover, you also know that in addition to here, in the whole of Guangxi, we have many people with the same goal, as well as Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou...... All sides of the toast are our allies, and the power of the court officials in these places is too small to be worth worrying about at all. ”

Xu Chongchuan's words had a certain effect, making Li Muda's expression look a little better. But because of this sudden change, Master Tusi, who had never had this kind of experience, was still a little worried: "Even so, but we people are in Guilin City, if they attack us, what should we do?" ”

"Ha, you don't need to worry about this, Master Toast. If there really is a day, those rogue officials are the ones who should worry about their safety the most, are you in this Guilin City, aren't they there? What's more, in addition to the people in the city, there are countless people and centaurs outside the city? As for the rogue officials in the city, there are only so many people available to them, as long as we have the ambition to work together, are we afraid that we won't be able to wipe out all these guys? So now, what we should do is to immediately suppress this official action with a tough attitude, presumably with Li Tusi's prestige here and your status in the eyes of all Tusi, as long as you send a word, it is enough to put pressure on the local government to obediently hand over the people. ”

In fact, in the past, when there was a conflict between the foreigners in the city and the Han people, if the government took Miao Zhuang and other foreigners, those Tusi masters would put pressure on the local yamen to get people out. But this time, out of the psychology of being thieves, they never did it.

But now, after listening to Xu Chongchuan's analysis, it has given Li Tusi a lot of inspiration, and things are indeed not bad enough to make him so worried. And since he was already planning to turn against the court, why should he be afraid of those officials anymore?

Seeing that the other party was moved, Xu Chongchuan added: "In addition, according to the news I just received, in fact, this change was caused by King Jing, Lord Li, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"King Jing?" Li Muda was obviously stunned for a moment, he really didn't have any impression of this guy who was extremely low-key in the local area. But soon, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes: "Is it him?" Then I will be able to get people out of the yamen. ”

Xu Chongchuan, who saw what he wanted to do, was secretly happy in his heart, the two purposes of his coming today - to appease these toasts and to lead the disaster water to the Jingwang Mansion have been successfully achieved, so next, it depends on when these guys will do it, and then they will ......
