Chongming County is under the jurisdiction of Taicang Prefecture, which in turn is under the jurisdiction of Susong Taidao.

Li Weiguo just wanted to return to Shanghai to see how his AIIB construction was progressing, and by the way, he visited Liu Jianzhang of Su Song Taidao to seek help in dealing with Xiao Yang and Lu Jianying.

Li Weiguo did not go directly to the Susong Taidao Mansion, but directly brought gifts to visit Liu Jianzhang's house.

Since Li Weiguo had long planned to establish a hegemony based on Shanghai, and had entrusted the British Legation to secretly help him to transfer himself to Shanghai County as a county magistrate, while Su Songtaidao was the top boss and the administrative office was in Shanghai County, he had to establish a good relationship with Liu Jianzhang, otherwise Li Weiguo would be subject to restrictions everywhere in Shanghai in the future.

At the same time, Liu Jianzhang, as a member of Yixin's faction, is a member of the same party as Fu Shanxiang's father, that is, Li Weiguo's father-in-law Fu Yang, and they are closer to each other, plus they both have enemies Lu Jianying and Xiao Yang who want each other, so Li Weiguo must take care of Liu Jianzhang, which is very important for Li Weiguo's future revenge.

Li Weiguo carried a heavy gift, Liu Jianzhang was also shocked after reading the post, and learned that it was Fu Yang's son-in-law, so he immediately thanked the door and avoided the guests, and met Li Weiguo alone in the backyard.

Liu Jianzhang is in his fifties, but he looks like he is seventy or eighty, and you can imagine how huge the fall of his career has hit him physically and mentally.

At the same time that Li Weiguo looked at Liu Jianzhang, Liu Jianzhang was also looking at the young man in front of him, he was surprised in his heart, it was not unusual for a young man under the age of thirteen to donate a county order, but it was really a Han person who could get a county order, which was the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. What surprised Liu Jianzhang even more was that Li Weiguo was able to make Xiao Yang, the head snake in Chongming County, deflated one after another, you must know that Xiao Yang is known as the killer of the county order, how many county orders were planted in his hands, but now it has made Li Weiguo squirt a few liters of old blood, this kind of expression is surprising.

"You said that you are Fu Yang's son-in-law, Fu Shanxiang's husband, do you have a certificate?"

"I wonder if this ring counts?"

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, and secretly said that this Liu Jianzhang was careful, so he raised his left hand, and the ring on his ring finger was instructed to the other party, which was brought to him by Fu Shanxiang before he left Li Weiguo, and it was a family heirloom of the Fu family.

Seeing this ring, Liu Jianzhang no longer doubted, he had worked with Fu Yang for many years, so he naturally knew the origin of this ring.

He nodded and sighed: "How majestic the six masters and one party were back then, but unfortunately the emperor finally chose the fourth elder brother, and now that the fourth elder brother has ascended the throne, the six masters and the party are dead and exiled, the old man is lucky, but he has also been degraded again and again, and now he has been reduced to a mere Su Song Taidao." Fortunately, Master Fu Yang sent a pair of children out of the capital in advance to avoid being slaughtered by the Four Masters Party, otherwise the Fu family would have no successor. ”

Li Weiguo exclaimed: "What does Lord Liu mean?" Could it be my father-in-law, he-"

Liu Jianzhang nodded, and said sadly: "Lord Fu Yang, he is a core member of the Six Masters Party, how can the Imperial Party let him go when he is in power?" I heard that he was killed on the way to Ningguta. ”

It is the eternal axiom of human society that the party struggle is fierce, the power is dumped and the power is cruel, and the victor is the prince and the loser is the thief.

In front of Liu Jianzhang, Li Weiguo had to squeeze out two lines of tears to mourn for his father-in-law, whom he had never met.

Liu Jianzhang saw Li Weiguo crying and was also infected, so he asked Li Weiguo to call him uncle, and the two immediately became close.

Knowing that the Li family was persecuted by Lu Jianying and his son-in-law Wu Liang, and that Fu Shanxiang's whereabouts are still unknown, Liu Jianzhang was filled with indignation and vowed to help the Li family avenge.

"Don't worry, nephew, although my uncle is now humble and can't take Lu Jianying's old puppet for the time being, but there is still the strength to clean up his subordinates, haven't you already found out the problem of the account deficit in Chongming County, then let's take Xiao Yang first, cut off Lu Jianying's old puppet's minions first, and then find an opportunity to clean him up."

This is exactly the result Li Weiguo wants, thank you Liu Jianzhang for your help.

"It's just a gesture!" Liu Jianzhang said with a smile: "It's the virtuous nephew, you served as the commander of Chongming County at the age of a weak crown, not only suppressed Xiao Yang and other powerful snakes, but also came up with a plan to solve the Yan zhòng disaster in Chongming County. Although our Sixth Master Party is now in a weak position, there are talents such as virtuous nephews and nephews, and they can be regarded as successors, and they don't have to worry about fighting the Imperial Party. ”

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly in his heart, he was classified by Liu Jianzhang into the Six Masters Party and didn't know whether it was good or bad, after all, the so-called Sixth Master Gong Prince Yixin was at a low point in his life, and he was suppressed by Xianfeng everywhere. But think about it a few years later, the second Opium War broke out, Xianfeng was angry to death, and when Cixi launched a palace coup, this sixth master Yixin turned into a regent, and the salted fish turned over, at that time, as a member of the Six Masters Party, there must be a lot of benefits.

It's still very reliable in the long run!

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo suddenly had his spirits, and hurriedly said: "Shibo has won the award!" However, the little nephew has always wanted to be transferred to Shanghai County as a county magistrate, and I don't know if Shibo can help. ”

"Transferred to Shanghai?"

Liu Jianzhang looked at Li Weiguo with a surprised face, saw that the other party had a very firm expression, and thought that the other party had another identity as a special counselor of the British Legation. Although the virtuous nephew went back and waited, the old man found an opportunity to impeach the Shanghai county order, and then found a way to transfer the virtuous nephew over. ”

"Thank you, Shibo!" Li Weiguo was immediately overjoyed, he had already entrusted the British Legation to secretly help, and now with Liu Jianzhang's help, as long as the operation is done properly, the success rate of the transfer to Shanghai County Commander will be even greater.

Next, Liu Jianzhang hosted a banquet to entertain Li Weiguo, and the two talked happily and agreed to take care of each other and advance and retreat together.

The next day, after Li Weiguo and Liu Jianzhang discussed in detail again how to deal with Xiao Yang and Lu Jianying, Li Weiguo said goodbye and left.

Li Weiguo did not rush back to Chongming County, but convened a meeting of the AIIB board of directors, listened to various construction reports, and on the whole, the progress was smooth, and he only waited for the headquarters building to be completed, and it could be officially opened.

As for the money printing machine equipment, Li Weiguo went to the British Concession, met with John, and learned that Bao Ling had persuaded the West India Bank in Hong Kong, and the other party agreed to provide money printing machine equipment and related raw materials, which had been loaded on a ship and would return to Shanghai with Sir Bao Ling.

John suddenly asked: "By the way, Wei Guo, you asked Chavez to bring back a message last time, and you want to be transferred to the county magistrate of Shanghai, but I don't understand how our British Empire will provide you with such help, you must know that your government will never allow us to interfere in the appointment of officials in your country." ”

Li Weiguo smiled and explained: "You don't need to interfere with the appointment of officials of the Qing government, you only need to keep creating disputes in the Shanghai County Government, then the Shanghai County Order is not open to foreign affairs, and it will definitely not be handled well, you take the opportunity to constantly complain to the Qing government, euphemistically put forward the hope that an official who is proficient in European and American conditions will be replaced, and hint that the only person who can do the job in the Qing Dynasty at present is I, Li Weiguo, alone." ”

John understood, but he still had some questions: "However, what if the Shanghai county order can handle the foreign-related incident, and the Qing government refuses to replace it or replace it with someone else?" ”

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes and reminded: "Even if the Shanghai county order can handle the foreign-related incident well, you should not buy his account, and deliberately say that he has not handled it well, which is easy to create friction and is not conducive to Sino-British friendship." As long as you keep complaining and not being satisfied, soon the Qing government will be impatient and will remember your kind reminder to let me be appointed as the county magistrate of Shanghai. You just have to remember that as long as this Shanghai county order is not me, then you will make a fuss until I come to take office, do you understand when I say this? ”

"Ah, I finally get it! But Weiguo, you are so treacherous! You're the most cunning person I've ever met! John sighed vigorously and complained, not knowing whether he was envious of Li Weiguo's cleverness, or lamenting his carelessness in making friends.

Li Weiguo laughed, he didn't care about John's words, he should have praised him.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoliu walked up to him anxiously and said to Li Weiguo: "Young master, it's not good, I just got the news that something big has happened in Chongming County!" ”
