Today's Li Zhuang is already a part of Baicheng, Tingtao upstairs on the top floor, originally the Qingtian Company's secret hall is located, a row of Manchu officials sit on one side of the long table, or the official's curtain seat, but the opposite is sitting the top of the Qingtian Company, including Tian Dayou, Liu Xingchun, Peng Xianzhong, Gu Xiyi, Wu Ya, Jia Hao and other leaders of the guard.

Wang did not see Wang, Yang Lin, Guan Yuanzhong and Tang Youzeng and other Guangdong officials naturally would not come in person, and Li Shi would not come forward, and a negotiation was underway that neither side would openly admit, and the theme was "on the division of rights and interests between Li Shi and Qingtian Company and related industries and the Qing Imperial Court in Guangdong." ”

Everyone knows that this is a virtual negotiation, but even if it is false, there is a line drawn down, and everyone can do things easily. And about this line, those involved in the negotiations are taking it seriously, and you fight for it.

In the library building of the North Academy of Li Zhuang, Duan Hongshi, who was buried in the pile of books, welcomed a guest.

"Thank you, little brother......"

A young girl politely saluted the Si Wei who led her over, but after Si Wei left, her face suddenly flashed a trace of gloom, and the deliberately suppressed anger also floated out of the corner of her eyes.

"You ......"

Duan Hongshi looked at this beautiful girl who was not gorgeous, but cut from high-quality clothes, and was a little surprised, which did not match his expectations.

"The little girl Ru Xi, her father is the new prefect of Guangzhou, Martai, entrusted by Lord Xiantai Tang......"

As the girl spoke, she looked at the two guards standing on Duan Hongshi's left and right, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.

"Uh...... It should be that Tang Xiya has a private word, and the two ......"

Duan Hongshi's face was abrupt, and he said this to the guards on the left and right, and the two guards who were responsible for protecting him looked at each other in surprise, listening to the tone of the old master, it was as if begging them, what does this mean? When he saw Duan Hong again, he blinked, and although he didn't understand it, he still retreated.

"The little woman came to visit on the order of Lord Tang, and I would like to thank the old gentleman in advance for serving the court."

The girl named Ru Xi was deeply blessed by Duan Hongshi, but Duan Hongshi frowned and pouted.

"How did you send a woman? What child's play! How can this be so dismissive? ”

Ru Xi shook his head awe: "The heart of serving the country does not distinguish between men and women, and Ru Xi is willing to share worries for the court." Besides, if it weren't for Ru Xi being a daughter, how could she do something top secret if she didn't attract the vigilance of others? ”

Duan Hongshi sighed, as if he was moved, and muttered: "Then Li Shi has some suspicions about me, and stealing the letter from him before has made him very vigilant. You also saw it, and sent someone to keep an eye on it, in addition to continuing to win his trust, it is difficult for the old man to do more, you ...... What can you do? ”

If Li Shi is here, he will definitely give a thumbs up, this old guy's acting skills can simply go to the little golden man...... Ru Xi didn't have the slightest suspicion that this macro time stole Yinzhen's handwritten letter, and also told Tang You that he was a big contributor to exposing Li Zhen's details. This time, entrusted by Tang Youzeng and others, as well as her father's request, she got in touch with Duan Hongshi and got a glimpse of more inside information, but she secretly determined that she could do more...... "The little woman wants to beg the old gentleman to try to introduce that Li Shi, so that she can lie beside him and work with the old gentleman to get rid of this national thief for the imperial court!" ”

Ru Xi gritted his teeth and said, Duan Hongshi sighed, he was really scared, this is an assassin!?

"That Li Xi has already had the experience of being plotted, not only will he never trust people easily, but there are always guards around him, how can you ...... a little woman?"

Duan Hongshi calmed down and continued to talk, but he didn't want this Ru Xi to sell Guanzi.

"As long as she can see Li Xi, the little woman has her own way, even if she gives up her life, for the sake of the four ...... For the sake of righteousness, for the sake of the world, there are no regrets! ”

She said passionately, but Duan Hongshi shook his head again and again, "Idiot...... Son......"

After pondering for a moment, Duan Hongshi slapped his thigh: "Since you have such determination, the old man is also out of the way!" ”

Then his gaze changed, and he glanced back and forth on Ru Xi's face, "It's just that Li Xi, quite lustful, you ......"

Ru Xi gritted her teeth: "It's not a pity to die, it's innocent, the little woman doesn't care." ”

Duan Hongshi finally couldn't help it: "No, no, the old man is saying, that Li Shi, his vision is quite high, you are not enough to enter his eyes, it is best not to use your brains on this." ”

Ru Xi's body trembled, her face turned red, and she couldn't go down for half a while.

Duan Hongshi was secretly refreshed, and said with an old face: "Let me try to arrange it, you stay in peace first." ”

Looking at Ru Xi's back, Duan Hongshi narrowed his eyes and said to himself in a low voice: "It's really rare to see, what kind of resentment did this banner woman suffer to do this crazy thing?" ”

Then he laughed again, "Tang Xiya, Tang Xiya, you can actually use beauty tricks, but you don't want to have already stepped on the old man's serial scheme." ”

Baicheng grass hall, dressed in a light yellow skirt, and her hair bun has also been pulled into a woman's style Yan Sanniang and Xiao Shengliang have seen a courtesy, first a small blessing with a polite surname, and then a great blessing to thank for saving his life before, but he never raised his head, but even so, Xiao Shengliang Deguang was already dazzled in both eyes, and he couldn't wait to wash his eyes quickly.

It's just why the sassy Yan Sanniang is ashamed to look like this, and why do the other two fourth sisters-in-law look at her with something else in their eyes, and they want to laugh but don't dare to laugh?

Looking at Li Xian's stiff waist and leaning on the soft collapse, Xiao Shengliang was stunned, but he never dared to laugh, and found an excuse to slip away first.

"Flutter ......"

When the two left, An Jiuxiu finally couldn't help laughing.

"Jiuxiu! Beware of your mouth being torn! ”

Yan Sanniang was furious, and as soon as she raised her head, a cheek that was redder than an overripe cherry appeared.

"I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of a broken waist......"

An Jiuxiu grinned, pulled up Guan Xuan and escaped, leaving Yan Sanniang, who was jumping on her feet.

"Ah, I'm sorry...... Just why are you...... Why do you have to endure it? ”

There was no one anymore, Yan Sanniang had tears in her eyes, gently rubbed Li Shi's waist, and said with a guilty face.

"Men have to love women......"

Li Xian said magnanimously, but said in his heart, this is the girl's first time, for the sake of her future surname, she can't let her leave a psychological shadow, and it's okay to suffer a little, but ...... Hiss...... Who let his daughter-in-law have too much kung fu on her legs.

Last night, Yan Sanniang was emotionally uncontrollable, and a pair of long legs involuntarily performed the kung fu of a pair of pincers, and Li Xian had to suffer desperately between bitterness and happiness. Yan Sanniang was a new person and was quickly defeated, but Li Shi was even more defeated. If it weren't for Guan Xuan to help with the massage, he couldn't stand up today.

"Later...... I'm going to have to pay attention. ”

Yan Sanniang said in a low voice, wrapped in the rare softness of the girl, and the part of the lingering last night that was separated from the suffering was stirring in Li Xian's heart, making him want to move. Swallowing the spit, the hand reached out again, why bother later, try it now?

With this movement, his waist hurt again, and Li Xian wailed in his heart, this is called being blessed and not enjoying...... Seeing his own man was as uncomfortable as a cat that couldn't eat fish, Yan Sanniang also ate and laughed, sent his body over, and let him be careless, thinking in his heart, should I ask An Jiuxiu that fox, is there any more suitable way...... The husband and wife were tired of warmth, but they were interrupted by an old man who didn't understand the amorous feelings.

"Woman!?"

Li Xian hasn't come to his senses for a long time, this official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also knows how to beauties?

"It's nothing to see the move, it's just that it's rare to have a counter-room that confuses Guangzhou."

Duan Hongshi let Li Xian choose not to let this spy stay. But the fluttering tone shows that he only looks at it as a trivial matter.

"How's that going to work? According to the old master, that woman is an assassin! ”

Yan Sanniang was unhappy, whether openly or secretly, it was impossible to let the woman stay.

"Let's meet and see how she actes."

"I've got to be around!"

Li Shi was just curious, Yan Sanniang was guilty, and it was not easy to stand up to Li Shi, so she just asked to be guarded.

In the evening, Li Xi met Ru Xi at the company's headquarters in the center of Baicheng, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with a beautiful face and a pointed chin, and she couldn't feel the fox, but she seemed to be unable to stand still, and she had an elusive atmosphere.

Duan Hongshi was not present, so Long Gaoshan guarded with a few guards, and Yan Sanniang changed into the uniform of the guards and mixed in.

"I heard Master Duan say, you have something else to say to me, I'm curious, you and your father are both Manchurian, and I have never met, what else can I say?"

Li Xian said lazily, but his eyes were fixed on this Ru Xi's face.

At that moment, he saw a layer of mist changing, and even if he was used to seeing all kinds of people in his previous life, he couldn't help but secretly breathe.

Ru Xi raised her head slowly, and there were faint tears in her eyes: "The little woman heard that Li Gongzi was powerful and could fight against the imperial court, and she had a trace of bitter hope and wanted to ask Li Gongzi for help." ”

Her eyes were misty, as if she was caught in a memory, and her words were sad, telling a story of her life.

"The little girl's mother is a Han girl in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was forcibly taken into the mansion by her father's family......"

"After the mother gave birth to a little girl, she was secretly troubled by Mrs. Dafang and died......"

"When I was young, I was raised as a slave and maid, and I was beaten and scolded harshly, and I almost lost my life several times......"

"God is fortunate to have survived to this day, my father saw that the little girl could marry a foreigner, so he changed the treatment, but he didn't want to, the little woman was already full of resentment."

After recounting her suffering, she suddenly looked up, her face full of determination.

"This congratulations, my father actually asked the little woman to sacrifice herself to gain the trust of Li Gongzi, stay by the child's side, as his eyes and ears, and help him go further in the officialdom, such a father with the heart of a beast, how can the little woman dare not recognize it!"

Li Xi frowned, he couldn't see anything fake in Ru Xi's expression now.

"What do you ask of me? You can't let me help you kill your father, right? ”

Li Xi continued to probe tentatively.

"How dare the little woman ask Li Gongzi to do such a dangerous thing? I just hope that Li Gongzi can cover the little girl, and if things change, I hope that Li Gongzi can give him a place to go. ”

Ru Xi kowtowed as she spoke, begging him to leave her with the plan, Li Xian smiled.

"I'm a businessman, what can you give me?"

Ru Xi was stunned for a while, and seemed to be reluctant, but she still spoke: "The little woman is useless, except for finding out about her father and the adults in Guangzhou, it is difficult to do anything. ”

Li Xi nodded, isn't this just a double agent, he accepted it.

Hearing Li Xi's perfunctory words, saying that he could find a suitable excuse to keep her, and at the same time hoped that she could pass on the news of Guangzhou officialdom, the corners of Ru Xi's mouth showed a hint of joy.

When Ru Xi left, Yan Sanniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged Li Xi's neck and said, "This sister is very pitiful, you have to help her well, it is better to have her help in the official mansion." ”

Li Yan pinched her nose helplessly: "This will fool you!?" ”

Next to him, Long Gaoshan frowned: "General Director, could it be that what she said is false?" ”

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the guards around him, all of them were all compassionate, and secretly called this Ru Xi, but it is really good acting!

"No one can curse their father and mother like this to deceive people, right?"

Long Gaoshan still said so.

"That's ...... you haven't seen"

Li Xian sneered, what is cursing his father?

"This woman, let Shang Jun think of a way to see how to keep an eye on it."

Since it's a double agent, you don't have to use it in vain, but you have to use it carefully.

"How do you think she's a liar?"

Yan Sanniang was still puzzled.

"Don't care about these twists and turns in the middle, didn't the official master over there in Guangzhou finally send someone?"

With Duan Hongshi's reminder just now, Li Xian was able to distinguish the root of this matter, but Yan Sanniang still didn't figure it out. Didn't Ru Xi confess, she was a spy plan of the official master.

Ru Xi is the daughter of the prefect of Guangzhou after all, and if she wants to have a relationship with Li Xi, she must have a suitable name. In the end, Li Xi set aside a position for a female gentleman in the women's school of Qingtian College, and Ru Xi could go freely. Martai, the prefect of Guangzhou, pretended to be helpless, and he burst into tears, lamenting that he was even robbed of his daughter by Li Shi. Whether he was crying in his heart or not, no one knows.

"Actually, it's a nuisance, beware of her taking risks."

Duan Hongshi was a little unsure of this Ru Xi, so he suggested simply pushing it out, and after listening to Li Shi's statement, he admitted that his acting skills were not as good.

"This person is kind of interesting, I want to see what she's going to do, if she just wants to be an assassin, I won't show mercy."

Li Shi had other plans.

It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and in Tingtao Tower, the negotiation has also come to an end, and the result is just like this Ruxi, both sides know that it is fake, but they must treat it as if it were true.

The so-called White City Secret Covenant was concluded the day after the wedding banquet of Li Xian. Yang Lin, Guan Yuanzhong, and Tang Youzeng, three local officials in Guangdong, jointly agreed with Li Shi on a number of terms.

The terms are cumbersome, but they all draw the bottom line on both sides. For example, Guangdong officials are very concerned about the smooth transmission of posts, the civil and military officials in the government, and the full amount of money and food, which is the face of the imperial court. If Li Shi wants to touch these, he will tear his face, and it will be difficult for them to hide it.

The line of line set by Li Shi is that industrial and commercial matters can no longer be touched, and officers and men must be notified of large-scale dispatches; otherwise, when the enemy fights, other affairs that can be written in the title book should not be written, and the folds and turns will be carried out casually.

In addition to the general affairs, Guan Yuanzhong, Tang Youzeng and others also mentioned the matter of Guangzhou City and asked Li Shi to clear half of the patrolmen. This requires Li Xi to understand, and they are naturally worried that these patrolmen will turn their faces one day and become the internal response and vanguard of Li Shi's capture of Guangzhou.

In the spirit of having contacts and dealings, Li Shi asked Panyu County, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture, to sell him all the large tracts of land in the Huangpu area at a "friendly price" and promised not to use it for "military installations."

"Then Li Shi's general situation has been touched, and the ground in Guangdong can be stabilized for the time being, and the three of us can be regarded as a bumper harvest."

Guangzhou City, after getting the master's return, and then summarizing a series of news about Li Shi's wedding banquet, Tang You once breathed a long sigh of relief, and he was ready to write a performance to report his merits.

"The inside and outside should also be connected, just wait to peek into the gaps and take advantage of the void!"

If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was still in Yingde, Maltai would have liked to hug her and kiss her fiercely, such an empathetic daughter who shared her father's worries would be difficult to find with a lantern.

"This ...... Ling Yuan is really dedicated to the country. ”

Tang Youzeng's old face was also red, how could this matter not be something that he could do as a self-proclaimed Taoist scholar, but he didn't expect that Ru Xi actually volunteered.

"Anyway, our story is better."

"There are a lot fewer patrolmen on the street, so we have to catch our three shifts quickly."

Tong Fahai and Shi Yizhi have their own hearts.

"What's next?"

Yingde, Li Xi asked Duan Hongshi.

"It's going to be loose for a while, and at this time, the old man is also going to go out."

Duan Hongshi laughed.

"Fourth brother, who should be next?"

Guan Xuan was concerned about this, Li Xi couldn't move for a few days, their "order" was always unturned, and the little girl was a little anxious to wait.

"Next, it's time for the old way."

Li Xi was thinking about another thing, and he didn't pay attention to Guan Xuan's little face and suddenly collapsed.
