Chenzhu Gege was obviously shocked by Lei Xiaotian's apparent family property, it was almost impossible for a local prefect to be able to collect so much money. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Actually, Chenzhu didn't know much about the affairs of the officials outside. Those officials and masters in the capital have not taken any less local tribute.

It is precisely this unorthodox atmosphere that led to such rapid corruption in the Qing regime. It can be said that the Qing Dynasty is now terminally ill, and the little emperor wants to work this basis, and at most he will hide for some time.

Thinking about these words in his heart, Ye Shaolong definitely didn't dare to say them, and he didn't explain anything to Chenzhu Gege. Nodding and leaving, Lei Xiaotian's property on the surface, Ye Shaolong didn't pay attention to it at all.

The 300 million taels that he negotiated with Lei Xiaotian in private can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Since the two sisters are so concerned, they should leave it to them to take care of it.

Ye Shaolong walked through the backyard and came directly to the cell in the mansion, Li Xi, who had been beaten less than twenty boards. At this moment, he was still dying, and in the dim cell, I saw him lying on a pile of thatch, and his mouth kept snorting in pain.

The iron tower opened the door of the cell for Ye Shaolong, and Ye Shaolong Shi Shiran walked in, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth: "You can still hum and chirp, it seems that the board is still less beaten." ”

Li Xi's face showed mixed emotions, he wanted to pretend to be a tough guy but couldn't survive the punishment, but he didn't pretend but he seemed so spineless. Once his inner defense collapses, then he will lose even the last bit of dignity.

"Ye Shaolong, if it's a man, give me a good time." Li Xi held back for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and said this.

"It's not that easy to die. Although I, Ye Shaolong, am not a gentleman, I am not a villain, at most I am a villain among gentlemen. How did the Li family deal with the Ye family in the past, now I will give you back little by little, wait slowly, I will let you see with your own eyes how the Li family is going to perish step by step. ”

Ye Shaolong's words were not just to intimidate Li Xi, but that he really had such thoughts. With his current status, it would be easy to bring down the Li family.

But he didn't want to end Li Xi's pain very quickly, and he couldn't quench the fire in his heart before he tortured him severely.

"You ......"

Li Xi has always known Ye Shaolong's personality, and knows that he will do what he says, and if he persists like this, it will be the Li family who will suffer in the end.

"What do you have to do to let go of the Li family. If you want me to die, you can come to me, and if you want money, you can also get it, just ask you to let the Li family live. For the sake of nearly a thousand lives of the Li family, Li Xi had to throw away the little self-esteem he had left.

"Do you think you still have the qualifications to negotiate terms with this official now? Wait, maybe the official is in a good mood and will let your Li family live a few lives. ”

Ye Shaolong resolutely stood up and walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back. Li Xi no longer even had the last bit of pitiful self-esteem, and Ye Shaolong felt bored if he stepped on it like this again.

Out of the cell, Ye Shaolong instructed the iron tower beside him: "You take people to seal the Li Mansion, and everyone is arrested together, and I will slowly try it in the future." ”

"Yes, young master!" The tower had no worries, clasped his fists and saluted, and strode away.

Ye Shaolong's heart suddenly emptied, he was quite looking forward to it before coming to the provincial capital, but everything went too smoothly here, which made him feel that there was no fun at all.

All of them are soft bones, and the anger in their hearts is quite big, but it can be seen that they are cowardly, and for some reason they are no longer interested in dealing with them.

"Alas, I have never been a ruthless person." Ye Shaolong found a reasonable excuse for himself, and his mood became much better.

The affairs of Lei Xiaotian and the Li family also came to an end temporarily, Ye Shaolong felt bored after walking around the mansion, and suddenly remembered that he wanted to go back to the Ye Mansion to have a look.

and Su Xiaocao and Tang Feifei, two girls, went to Su's house, but they didn't come back after most of the day. After this leisure, Ye Shaolong began to miss them.

asked people to prepare a sedan chair and bring more than a dozen guards, Ye Shaolong left the mansion and went to the Ye Mansion in the northern city.

The streets of the provincial capital seem to be more depressed than before, and the usual lively Thirteen Xingzhu Street is full of pedestrians at any time.

But even those coolie porters seem to be much less. In particular, the shops that do foreign goods business are deserted and rarely visited.

Ye Shaolong didn't know that since Peter was exiled in the capital, Mi Guo began to negotiate with the little emperor. Now it is even more united with foreigners from other countries to start sealing the wharves of the provincial capital.

It is also ridiculous to say that the dignified Qing Dynasty has no control over his own seaport. As soon as the foreigners joined forces, they said that the port would be closed, but the little emperor was helpless about it.

The ships were strong and the guns were sharp, and they could not fight at sea, and all the merchant ships of the countrymen were seized by them as soon as they went out to sea, and the foreigners had already made it clear that if Peter was not released, the four steamers would be returned. They will attack the provincial capital directly and go to war directly.

Now the foreigners are still negotiating with the little emperor in the capital, and these all happened after Ye Shaolong set off, so he didn't know that there was such a thing.

The sedan chair stopped steadily outside the gate of Yefu, and the prosperity of the past was still in front of him, but unfortunately it was less than three months. The Ye Mansion has become an existence like a ghost house, and the closed door has been covered with cobwebs, and the dust is covered with a full layer.

When I left three months ago, I wanted to sell the house one after another, but unfortunately no one was willing to take over, so I had to lock it and leave it like this.

Taking out the key from his body, Ye Shaolong personally stepped forward to unlock the lock, but unexpectedly the lock had been smashed. Obviously, there were thieves in this mansion who had patronized it, and shook his head with a wry smile, Ye Shaolong simply threw the key away.

The two guards diligently stepped forward to push open the door for Ye Shaolong, and under the shaking, the dust on the door fell one after another, raising a huge dust mist.

Covering his mouth and nose lightly, Ye Shaolong strode in, and when he entered the gate, it was a courtyard, and in just three months, the yard was already overgrown with weeds.

The waist-high wild grass swayed from side to side under the breeze, looking like a defeat. Ye Shaolong bypassed the small courtyard from the corridors on both sides and went straight to the backyard.

What he was most worried about was his old kennel, the small yard with a small martial arts training ground. There are a lot of memories of him, although it has only been a short three months, but for some reason Ye Shaolong misses it very much at the moment.
