Seeing that the maid was about to throw the gunpowder jar over, and Long Gaoshan was already in a hurry, and rushed straight over, this Yao family man was indeed as Pan Shiyu said when he recommended him: "My eldest brother Long's heart is always to take his life." ”

Covering his ears and opening his mouth, he threw himself to the ground, Li Shi's body should have performed this subconscious action, but he stopped alive and breathed, and shouted a word towards Long Gaoshan: "Water!" ”

At this moment, it was estimated that it would only be half a second, Long Gaoshan reacted, his body had lost his balance, but he still kicked it accurately on the medicine jar that was boiling like a penalty.

With a bang, the medicine jar was kicked and shattered, splashing a large ball of medicinal soup, and the hot soup was sprinkled on the maid, and suddenly a scream sounded, and the medicine jar in her hand also fell off her hand.

Disheveled...... Long Gaoshan threw the maid to the ground.

Bang Dang...... The powder canister shattered to the ground.

Rumble...... Two flames exploded, churning and heading up to the ceiling, the expected explosion turning into blazing flames. The scorching waves of air washed by, but there was no more harm.

With such a movement, the guards outside the house were all alarmed, and rushed in, and they were shocked to see such a scene, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Ignoring anything else, Li Shi picked up Bai Honggu in a pool of blood, saw that she was still blinking her eyelashes, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and quickly shouted: "Medical!" ”

Li Shi's clothes were gently pulled by Bai Honggu, her pupils were dilating, and she opened her mouth slightly, as if she was about to say something, Li Shi leaned over, only to hear a slight murmur, "Han Jin...... Han Jin ......"

When the medical soldiers came in, Bai Honggu was already out of breath, covering her eyes, Li Xian sighed heavily in his heart, Yan Sanniang was still telling him before, Zhang Hanjin and Bai Honggu looked at each other.

"Anti-thief! Give back my family's life—ahhh ”

The maid was so hot that she screamed, but she still scolded endlessly, Long Gaoshan commanded the guards to press her to the ground, and then threw all the other medicine jars out, and when the arrangements were made, she was also soaked, it was not medicine soup, but sweat.

"Director-General, hurry back to Yingde!"

Long Gaoshan looked at Bai Honggu, who had just swallowed her breath, and her face was also gloomy, but Li Xi's safety was more important, so he subconsciously made a suggestion.

"No...... At this time, I couldn't go back. ”

Li Xi calmed down, looked at Han Yujie, who was still trembling on the bed and couldn't speak, and said in his heart that the battle had just begun, so he couldn't retreat.

At night, it was still this room, Han Yujie fell asleep, his breathing was much smoother, and his face was bloody.

"Wake up tomorrow and be fine."

Pan Jinling let out a long breath, she was urgently recruited from Yingci Yuan, at first she thought that something had happened to Li Shi, and she was so anxious that she even bit her lips, but after she came to learn the truth, she breathed a sigh.

Han Yujie was poisoned, and Pan Jinling said that it was Banxia, which can make people prostrate and unspeakable, and ginger juice can detoxify, and it can get better after a rest.

Then she was still very sad, if Bai Honggu hadn't been stabbed in the vital point, the medical staff could have dealt with it in the early stage, and if she arrived, maybe there would be help.

Another female assassin was badly burned, but she didn't need to treat her, the woman screamed and told her history, her mind was in an extremely messy state, and she couldn't answer any questions, so Li Xi had to order her to be sent on the road, which could be regarded as helping her to relieve her suffering.

The father of the two sisters was a guerrilla of Chaozhou Zhenbiao, who was killed in the previous Battle of Yong'an, as for how they got into Han Yujie's side, it will not be clear until Han Yujie can speak.

"God really has eyes, you can be safe and sound in such a thing."

Pan Jinling had tears in his eyes, both relieved and distressed, Li Xian shook his head, this is not that God has eyes, it is not that Bai Honggu is loyal to his duties, Long Gaoshan sacrificed his life to save him, he really can't escape the doom this time.

"They are also doing the things of God, and naturally God saved you."

Pan Jinling didn't admit it, if she didn't think so, she would always be at ease.

"Whose will are those who have harmed me doing so?"

Li Xi was thinking about this, the whole thing, the female assassin was just the tip of the iceberg that surfaced, whether Han Yujie was persecuted by Chen Yuanlong, what does the missing Yu Song have to do with this matter, and why Yu Hanyi didn't detect the abnormality beforehand, these are all questions.

The next day, Han Yujie got a little better, although his tongue was still weak, but he could even speak and write, and finally told some truths. It's just that when Li Xian heard these words, the doubts in his heart became heavier.

Chen Yuanlong, the governor of Guangxi, did persecute Han Yujie on charges of treason and other crimes, but he was hypocritical and maneuvered, and he easily dealt with this civilian official from the Chen family in Haining. 【1】

But he did get sick, half of the child suffered a little in Guangxi, there was a problem with his body, most of him was still sick with heart, and when he returned to Guangdong, he met Yu Song, saying that Li Shi was suspicious of him, Han Yujie felt that he was difficult to distinguish, and the surname Suo stayed in Qingyuan to see what Li Shi wanted to do with him. He expected that most of the people would come to investigate, or Li Xi would simply summon him to Yingde to "explain the problem".

At this time, Yu Song came to the door again, and brought this pair of maids, saying that they knew medicine, and said that they would help him contact Li Shi.

Unexpectedly, the pair of maids actually poisoned him, and directly controlled him, not even paying attention to the entourage around him, just waiting for Li Xi to come to the door.

So the problem lies with Song? But Li Xian doesn't quite understand, Nian Qianyao has not yet arrived in Hunan, the foundation of this Yu Song is in Hunan, who will be behind him?

Continuing to think about it, Li Xian felt a chill in his heart, when did Yu Song accept the two sisters? If you received it early, it means that Yu Song, this guy, has long hidden his thoughts about dealing with him.

In addition, the reason why Chen Yuanlong let Han Yujie go so easily was not that he was fooled, but that he knew that Han Yujie was a flag against him Li Shi, and the news came from Guangdong, then this Yu Song, wouldn't he have been in contact with Guangdong officials early?

Even...... Yu Song came and went here in Qingpu and made friends with the government, why didn't Yu Hanyi find anything?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xi's suspicions suddenly surged.

Yu Hanyi's news on the businessman was obtained through the business relations department led by Peng Xianzhong, and Peng Xianzhong didn't feel abnormal at all about such an old qualified "partner"? Will Peng Xianzhong have a problem?

Even...... Yu Hanyi is also surnamed Yu, does it have anything to do with Yu Song?

Patting his head, Li Xi felt that he had gone crazy.

"Go to Qingpu!"

Yu Song must have escaped before Li Xian entered the manor, since he had been exposed, Li Xian no longer had any worries, his industry that was prevalent in Guangdong, the silver invested by Sanjiang Ticket Bank, just smiled and accepted it, as for who was behind him, Li Xian decided to weigh it after he went to Qingpu.

"Old Yu!?"

Qingpu Cargo Station, the headquarters of Qingtian Company, learned that Yu Song was the mastermind of the assassination, and Peng Xianzhong almost fainted.

Li Xian looked at Peng Xianzhong's changing expression, and his heart gradually sank, could it really be Peng Xianzhong?

"Director-General...... I have something to say......"

Peng Xianzhong hesitated for a long time, opened his mouth as if he was about to repent, and felt that the atmosphere was very wrong, Long Gaoshan's eyes turned cold, and he stood beside Peng Xianzhong.

Waving his hand to signal that it was okay, Li Xian believed that if even a person like Peng Xianzhong could have the determination to kill him regardless of life and death, then there should be no need for him to stay in this era anymore. Yan Sanniang has become a wife, and it can't be compared, but if Duan Hongshi also wishes that he was finished, he really can't imagine what evil things he has done that hurt heaven and reason, and people and gods are angry.

Peng Xianzhong really confessed, Yu Song had looked for him before, and he was secretly persuading him to think more about the Peng family and himself, and even said that if Li Xian was gone, what should everyone do? How to clean up this situation in Guangdong? He was making a flute, and Yu Song continued, Everyone thinks that you should come out and pick up the burden, after all, in Li Xi's team, we businessmen recognize you Peng Xianzhong. Relying on us businessmen, Li Xi can feed so many people and feed a strong army, without merchants, where will those British and German people and fast spearmen under Li Xi go to eat?

Peng Xianzhong reprimanded Yu Song for being cranky at the time, but Yu Song said that if something really happened, he and the businessmen over Jiangxi, together with your Yingde Peng family, would support you to take over this business, and it would not be difficult to convince others with your popularity in business.

The whole conversation revolved around the theme of "if Li Xian dies unexpectedly", Peng Xianzhong didn't think more about it, when Yu Song said again, "Your old man of the Peng family has been scratching recently, saying that the weather in Guangdong is too stuffy, and you can't figure out when it will thunder and rain and when it will be clear, so it's better to beg for rain and let it go straight first." ”

At this time, Peng Xianzhong came up with something, and he was flustered and didn't dare to think about it again.

"I don't believe my old man would think like that, it should have nothing to do with him! My father has been here before, but if he really wants to continue, the Peng family will break off with me! ”

After Peng Xianzhong explained, he repeatedly emphasized this point, for fear that Li Shi would settle accounts with the Peng family, Li Xi nodded and comforted him, the Peng family was also deeply involved with him Li Shi, and he had been protected by him, and he had no contact with the official, and now it was not at the critical moment of life and death, how could he act so decisively?

If you really want to make a decision, you will not let Peng Xianzhong continue to lead the Cantonese Chamber of Commerce and take the Peng family to jump into another unfathomable pit, this basic wisdom of life, Li Xian believes that the old man of the Peng family should still have it.

Before, he was afraid that Li Xianzhong wanted to deal with the Peng family, so Peng Xianzhong didn't dare to speak, and now Yu Song actually instructed someone to assassinate Li Xian through Han Yujie, Peng Xianzhong had to confess, his little selfishness, Li Xianzhong didn't want to go deeper.

"I've never been dismissive, and I believe everything you say. It's just that you didn't report it after the incident, and you didn't help Yu Hanyi pay attention to important people, so you still have to be punished. ”

Li Xian said this, Peng Xianzhong breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't matter what the punishment was, if the family was not implicated, he was already satisfied.

"Except for Yu Song, the turmoil in the Chamber of Commerce is not the fault of the merchants, but my wings are too thin, and I can't completely block the cold wind for them, so I have such and such thoughts."

Li Xian said lightly, now that things have a rough outline, of course Yu Hanyi has no problem, Peng Xianzhong has a small problem, and Yu Song, who has a big problem, gets together, and then moves the matter to Han Yujie, these three people are too heavy, and when they get together, Li Xian is in danger again.

This not only exposed that Li Shi's internal organization was too thin and the connection was too loose, but also exposed that his Li Shi's coercion was not strong enough, and the system still had a place for hissing and deflating. The merchant was only under indirect pressure from the periphery, and began to jump up and down.

As for who else is behind Yu Song, or just a personal plot for greater benefits, it needs to be further investigated, but this matter is no longer the point. Before, Li Xianguang wanted to show his strength to the Manchu officials, but he didn't pay much attention to the deterrence of the merchants, and now it is time to make up for this lesson.

"Director-General...... If there are too many people, the Cantonese Merchant Association may really disperse. ”

Peng Xianzhong saw Li Xian frowning, murderous aura swirling between his eyebrows, and worriedly persuaded him, although he felt that most of the time he could not be persuaded to do so. From this point of view, even if he had any thoughts before, they were still fundamentally different from Yu Song's thoughts.

"People are meant to be killed, but I, Li Shi, do I only have the power to kill?"

Li Xi sneered: "Most of the energy that I, Li Xian, have spent in the past few years, and most of it has not been on businessmen, if you really think that the matter of Guangdong, it is just me, the government and the businessmen are playing chess, then it is a big mistake!" ”

After a little silence, Li Xi made a decision, although in his opinion, this matter was a bit advanced, but in this situation, he could no longer play triangular chess with merchants and the Qing court.

He then said in a deep voice: "They're just pawns!" And not yet irreplaceable pawns, they will soon see this. ”
