Chapter 26 The Godfather of the Tang Dynasty
Li Shan returned to his room, Su Jinxi had already made the bed for him, and the two were newlyweds. Li Shan looked at Su Jinxi sitting on the edge of the bed obediently, his heart was itchy, Li Shanxiong was angry last night, and he didn't stop until Su Jinxi begged for mercy. But in order to take care of his beloved wife, he can't be too presumptuous today.
Su Jinxi stroked the scars on Li Shan's face and said, "Does Xianggong hurt?" I've got another ointment for bruises, and I'll put it on my husband. After that, a small white porcelain vase was pulled out of her dressing box, and Li Shan quietly enjoyed the feeling of Su Jinxi's little hand caressing his face, and asked, "How do you have these things." Su Jinxi said: "In the past, in the drunken red mansion, the new sisters who refused to submit had to eat some flesh and skin, and some guests often beat people. So some medicines like these will also be available. Li Shan's heart moved, grabbed Su Jinxi's hand and said, "You have also been beaten?" Su Jinxi smiled, took Li Shan's hand away and continued to concentrate on the medicine: "Jinxi is lucky, she hasn't been beaten much since she was fifteen years old, but my sisters are often bullied, so I always have some." Li Shan knew that Su Jinxi said lightly, and he must have suffered a lot in it, so he hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't worry, with me, no one can bully you in the future." Su Jinxi knelt on Li Shan's chest and said sweetly: "I believe in Xianggong, Jinxi is very happy now." ”
Li Shan held up Su Jinxi's face with both hands and said, "Then let's hurry up and rest, ** a moment is worth a thousand gold, and I thought of a new position, I can try it once." Su Jinxi's face immediately rose two red clouds, and she said in a thin manner: "Xianggong should be lighter, Jinxi is afraid that he will not be able to bear it." Li Shan finally learned that sometimes being too strong is also a kind of distress.
It was another sunny day, Li Shan got up early in the morning, and after eating, he went straight to invite the Immortal Pavilion, he expected that Zhuo Cheng would come to him today. Sure enough, as soon as I talked to Zhang Yanzhao for a while, I saw Ade running in and said: "Shopkeeper, there is a person in front, who claims to be called by Li Shangongzi, and says that he wants to see you, his name is Zhuo Cheng." Zhang Yanzhao gave Li Shan a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shan, really expects things like a god, this outstanding result is coming." Li Shan smiled and said: "You go and bring him over, I want to talk to him, this matter is very important, it is the first step for us to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, I hope I haven't looked away." ”
When Zhuo Cheng saw Li Shan, he knelt down and kowtowed directly and said, "Mr. Li, Zhuo Cheng is willing to worship Mr. as a teacher, please teach me how to get rid of the Cai family." Li Shan did not stop it this time, but accepted it calmly, and when Zhuo Cheng finished his salute, he said: "You get up, remember, from today onwards I am not your master, I am your eldest brother, and you and I are commensurate with my brother." What I want you to do is very simple, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and a way for another. Didn't the Cai family rely on their own people to bully others? We will unite more people against him. In the north of the city, there are not a few merchants, butchers, and ordinary people who have been bullied by the Cai family, and the fishermen on Changhu Lake have always been under the control of the Cai family. What I want you to do is to unite these people and let them be used by you, as long as you can unite them, the ten Cai families are not your opponents. ”
Zhuo Cheng felt suddenly enlightened when he heard Li Shan's words, but then frowned and said: "How easy is this, there are so many people, each family is for themselves, no one wants to go against the Cai family, if they are not forced to be anxious, who is willing to help others come out?" Besides, there are people from the government above the Cai family, if there is a big trouble, the government will deduct a name for us to gather a crowd to rebel, and the people have not fought with the officials since ancient times. ”
Li Shan sneered: "The Cai family just took a fancy to your weaknesses and will bully you even more, I just want you to be the first person, don't use your own affairs to ask others to help you." Instead, you have to help others and establish your authority among the people. Seeing that the fishing moratorium will pass in more than a month, the Cai family will definitely put pressure on the fishermen in Changhu at that time, and when the people's grievances are boiling, you will rise again, with the prestige you established before, coupled with the perverse actions of the Cai family, you will definitely respond to every call. Overthrow the Cai family in one fell swoop. ”
These words were like an empowerment, and Zhuo Cheng said excitedly: "Big brother is really a good plan, so he will definitely be able to overthrow the Cai family." So what do we do in the first step, how do I establish my authority? Li Shan saw that Zhuo Cheng was very good, and felt that he was not wrong, and continued: "First of all, you have to keep a low profile, and don't have any more conflicts with the Cai family during this period of time. Then you unite with some of the people you trust the most, go separately to learn about the people who have been bullied by the Cai family before, sort them out and spread them secretly, and spread the people's grievances. At the same time, for those who are in difficulty, you have to help, and if you need silver, please ask the fairy pavilion to get it. In this way, your reputation will definitely spread again, and then you will unite a few brothers who can live in it, find a chance to fight with the people of the Cai family, and let the people see that you have the strength to compete with them, so that they will support you. I think that when things come to this point, the Cai family will definitely use the power of Cai Qi's government, and I will have my own arrangements when the time comes, as long as Cai Qi dares to move. I have a way to make him never turn over. If you pull out the power of the Cai family's official mansion, the Cai family will only have an empty shell, and then you will lead the people to write a book of all the people, and you can pull out the Cai family in one fell swoop. ”
Zhuo Cheng was already convinced by Li Shan, and said: "Okay, I will fight to the death and pull the Cai family off the horse, we have been bullied by the Cai family for so long, and we can finally raise our eyebrows." Li Shan continued: "Zhuo Cheng, after the Cai family falls, the world of Jingzhou will be empty, and your prestige will definitely reach its peak at that time, so you don't want to do something?" Zhuo Cheng said: "Does the eldest brother want me to replace the Cai family?" This is impossible, I will never think that the Cai family oppressed the people like that, so what kind of person have I become. ”
Li Shan smiled: "I didn't say that, then you will see the strength of people united." You don't want to lose it, and since you don't have that idea yet, let's not talk about that. When the time comes, you will understand. Saying that, Li Shan took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and gave it to Zhuo Chengdao: "You take these silver first, how to use it, I think you should already know it, if you don't know, come and ask me then." Zhuo Cheng solemnly took the silver in Li Shan's hand and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”
Looking at the figure of Zhuo Cheng turning to leave, Li Shan smiled and nodded, as if he saw a new star of the underworld rising. Li Shan suddenly felt that he had the feeling of a gangster godfather, and it was really a little uneasy to provoke this young man who had just come of age to mix with the underworld. However, the times create heroes, and if you don't swim against the current, you can only drown in the ruthless waves.
Zhang Yanzhao came in from outside the door and said, "Brother Shan, how did you come up with this, these can't be found in the sage books." Li Shan looked at Zhang Yanzhao and said proudly: "Some things are innate, how to say it, this is like a talent, I can't control it myself." Zhang Yanzhao believed Li Shan's words very much, and said: "Brother Shan, after your serious illness, it is like two people, sometimes I can't believe that you are still the good brother I knew before." ”
Li Shan laughed and said, "I'm still me, but I've already enlightened." Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's get to work. Zhang Yanzhao let out an "oh" and turned around to go out. Li Shan stopped him again and said, "You almost forgot about your business." In the future, you should cooperate more with Zhuo Cheng's affairs, and ask Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to help him together. In the future, when things are done, the four of you will be the patriarchs. You're smart, and if they don't know what to do, you just have to make up your mind. ”
Zhang Yanzhao said: "Brother Shan, listening to you say this, it seems that there is a follow-up after the Cai family is overthrown?" Li Shan didn't explain much, only said: "When the time comes, you will understand, I may be busy these days, and I don't have time to care about these things, you just watch and deal with it." Zhang Yanzhao was very curious and said, "What's the matter with you, I'm in charge of the restaurant now." The Jingzhou test will be held in the fall, what's the matter? Li Shandao: "To deal with Cai Qi, I want to ask Liu Tingshi to come out in person, and before that, I have to give him a big gift, otherwise I may not necessarily invite him." ”
