Hangzhou Desheng Dam, a group of businessmen dressed as people standing on the dam, watching a few people on the shore spinning the roulette, the thick iron pole under their longitudinal, as dexterous as an arm, in a moment to pull the fast boat from the canal into the Shangtang River, the previous noisy scene of the man and the cow together is no longer gone. A thin middle-aged man danced with his eyebrows flying: "Just relying on this iron roulette, not only is the time for getting up and down the dam twice as fast, but even the manpower money has been saved a lot." Roulette and iron frames are all produced in Guangdong, and now in the south of the Yangtze River, there are countless wonderful uses. ”【1】

A tall man beside the dwarf snorted coldly: "No matter how much it is used, it must be held in the hands of the imperial court, otherwise it will be cunning and will cause endless disasters!" ”

The two of them brought more than a dozen people left and right, faintly surrounding a cold middle-aged man in a circle, and when the person heard their conversation, his brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This line of people is the Prince of Yong Yinzhen and his entourage, at this time from the court's resolution to settle only ten days, February has not arrived, he has arrived in Hangzhou, relying on the fast Jiao boat.

Originally, Yinzhen still wanted to check the Guangdong documents in Beijing, but Li Wei, who was recommended by Mao Sui, persuaded him to go straight to Guangdong and use thunderbolt to seize the evidence first. He still had some scruples, but then he received the news that the culprit in the Yangzhou Shunfeng Express case had absconded, so he was ruthless, did not go with the other two Qincha, and drove directly to Hangzhou in the starry night, where he met Dai Duo.

"This Li Wei understands the overall situation, has courage and strategy, and can be of great use, which is ......"

Yinzhen admires Li Wei very much, but he is very unimpressed with the "criminal evidence" that Li Wei said.

"The evidence of the crime is a native of Yingde County, Shaozhou Prefecture...... Li Shi! Now Nanhai County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Ren Dianshi, the lower officials have been staring at the movements of Guangdong, and there are traces of him in everything! ”

At that time, Li Wei said it so directly, Yinzhen sneered, a classic history! can actually pry the officialdom of Guangdong Province, when the Qing Dynasty is a piece of tofu?

This is only a small section, Yinzhen didn't care, people are still available, so he moved Li Wei from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Officials, so as to serve as an entourage. In this process, he discovered the connection between Li Wei and that Li Shi. Li Wei's recommender is Jiang Zan, Langzhong of the Internal Affairs Bureau, who died of illness half a year ago, and this Jiang Zan has served in the Taiping Pass Hanwei Branch Pass before, and I don't know what personal grievances are entangled in this.

"Do your best! If he is also involved in the case, just take the opportunity to deal with it, if you are blinded by a mosquito and fly again, you will go straight back to your incense yamen! ”

When Li Wei mentioned Li Xi again, Yinzhen reprimanded him harshly, which restrained him.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, Dai Duo's usefulness was revealed, he found a fast Jiao boat, and also contacted a businessman who had business dealings with the Dongguan loom workshop, Yinzhen and his entourage pretended to be a businessman in Beijing, and rushed to Guangzhou.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it has been February of the 54th year of Kangxi, outside the nameless temple in the south of the Yingci Temple in Xiguan, Guangzhou, a long queue has been lined up, and the men, women and children in the long queue have reverent expressions and are in good order. This temple only worships the emperor and the queen of heaven, and is dedicated to the families of the sick and the women who are waiting to give birth at home to worship, and the rules are still very strange, no incense is allowed, no noise is allowed, only silent prayer in the heart.

There are countless living people in Yingci Yuan, and this temple naturally has a true spirit in the eyes of the people, plus the president of Yingci Yuan, the living Bodhisattva Pan aunt of Guangzhou City also often comes to worship, so there is such a lively appearance.

Outside the temple, Li Shi looked at Pan Jinling with a veil hood, and was very helpless, "I was coaxing outsiders, what do you believe?" ”

"I believe in one of them, I think I can really make myself ...... Peacefulness. ”

Pan Jinling said in a low voice, not daring to look up at him, and said in his heart, I believe in you, but a person like me dare not be like Sanniang, or even An Jiuxiu behind you, to enjoy your selfishness. I can only offer you to the shrine, far away from you, so that the evil thoughts that I toss and turn every night can be calmed down.

Li Xian was speechless, and he had the intention to discuss it with her carefully, afraid that she would go farther and farther along the "evil road" that Yiming Lao Dao had made, but now his mind was all hanging in the north, and there were still a lot of affairs to deal with, so he had to sigh and tell Pan Jinling to prepare to return to Yingde again, and then left in a hurry.

On the way, Li Xi said to An Jiuxiu: "You go back to your father for a while......

It has been a month since the last time three emergency reports were received, and there has been no more news except for the Shunfeng Express case. Thinking just in case, he began to gather important people, and An Jiuxiu ...... is not an important person, she doesn't know her details, if things change, and put her by her side, Li Xi is not very relieved.

An Jiuxiu's body shook slightly, and she almost got off the horse, she quickly answered in a guttural voice, on the cheeks covered by the veil, the blood color had been lost, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were even more difficult to suppress. She really didn't know Li Shi's intentions, but she knew Li Shi's situation very well, now is the time when the rumors are blowing, even an "outsider" like Pan Jinling, he must get people back to Yingde to rest assured, but for her, he pushed her straight back to Anjia.

"How can I let him know my true heart?"

At the door of An's house, An Jiuxiu hugged An Shiyixiu, who was also sent back, and looked at Li Xian's distant back, with tears in his eyes.

After settling down with the Anjia sisters, Li Xi returned to the main building of Qingpu Cargo Station in Guangzhou, and finally received the news that he had been waiting for urgently, and it was still Di Bao. This time, Guangdong Titang risked his life and sent it back in an expedited manner of 800 miles, preempting the news channel of Li Xi in the capital.

"Yongzheng! No...... Yinzhen! ”

At that moment, Li Xian's pupils constricted, and he felt a slight bitterness in his mouth.

With his brain spinning rapidly, Li Xi roughly figured out Kangxi's intention of sending Yinzhen to Guangdong, and most of his movements in Guangdong were regarded by Kangxi as the "Eight Masters Party", and he was really cocooned and self-bound.

For Yongzheng, Li Xi was very interested in his previous life, Kang Yongqian's three generations, in Li Shi's view, Kangxi is a hypocrite, Qianlong is a loser, and Yongzheng is a ...... Two stunned.

Not to mention the deeds of Yongzheng, when he was Yinzhen, this guy's style of acting in politics is one word: ruthless, and the result is two words: storm. Therefore, in the later period, he was basically not assigned any major errands, and occasionally served as an honor guard to serve as a façade.

Now that Kangxi has been put in Guangdong, Li Xi understands that in front of this guy, the maneuvering methods on the official face are useless, and what to see is how deep Yinzhen will dig his roots, like the teeth of a wolf, what will he bite.

Thinking of this, a wave of heat rose from the lower abdomen and suddenly filled the whole body.

"Li Shi, have you forgotten that you are a grass bandit? The wolf has come to the door, so why bother! ”

He suddenly came to his senses, looked at the vast Qingpu, and his heart suddenly became open-minded.

"Yongzheng...... I should be happy that it was delivered to my eyes! ”

Then there was only one thought that held Li Xian's body and mind.

Kill Yinzhen! Let Yinzhen become Yongzheng's history, and turn completely!

The prince was killed in Guangdong, this is enough chaos, although the preparation is far from enough, but in such a chaotic situation, how can he fish in troubled waters.

The second stunned Yinzhen, you just wash your neck, and wait for me, Li Shi, the grass bandit leader, to take your surname!

Li Shi gritted his teeth, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

Just when Li Xi made a shocking plan, the north city of Guangzhou, relying on a mansion in the boundary of the banner people, ushered in a group of mysterious guests. It is a pity that the intelligence organization under Li Xi is still too immature to notice that the target he wants to assassinate has already reached Guangzhou, which is only one or twenty miles away from him.

"Is there a relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? That's a terrible wow, now Guangdong is short of coal, and the Qujiang River is full of coal is not enough. The Shanxi gentlemen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the silver under their feet is under their feet, so they find some coolies and go straight to planing, and transport them to Guangdong, and they will be several times the profit! ”

In the hall, the wealthy businessman was chatting with Dai Duo.

"Behind the scenes? Behind it, of course, is the official master, and our Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce, I won't tell you, I am also a number one person in the Chamber of Commerce, and I am also a brother with Peng Huishou of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Who is the head of the Peng meeting? Peng Xianzhong, Yingde Peng's family, Xianglitang Yuelitang, and the mud and stone lines of the two provinces, but his family accounts for a large share. ”

"Back? Behind...... Hehe, when it comes to this Guangdong territory, in addition to honoring the official master, another person must not be left out in the cold, who? Li Sanjiang! I don't know? Then Li Beijiang should always know, right? ”

"How powerful? Haha, in a word, in this Guangdong territory, the business field is protected by Li Sanjiang, and behind him, is the official master of the entire Guangdong! There is a joke in Guangdong, saying that in addition to the four stations of the constitutional domain in Guangdong, there is also a commercial station, and this commercial station is Li Sanjiang and Li Shi. ”

"Brother, I can have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, if you want to do business in Guangdong, you can join our Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, and when the time comes, someone will come to teach you the rules of Guangdong and help you take care of trivial chores, so you don't have to be like in other realms, for fear of being rectified by the official master, and the Chamber of Commerce will come forward if there is something."

Behind the hall, Yinzhen was sitting, Li Wei was standing, and when he heard the businessman of the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce spit out the word "Li Xi", Yinzhen's half-squinted eyes widened, and the cold light flashed in his eyes, while Li Wei was upturned at the corners of his mouth, and his face was full of the joy of the sunny day.

Li Beijiang's title has been upgraded to Li Sanjiang, because his Beijiang Boat Company has been changed to Sanjiang Boat Company, covering the whole of Guangdong.

At night, Yinzhen held an emergency meeting, during the day, Dai Duo contacted the merchants, Li Wei visited the citizens, and Jialing Yin met with the Guangdong monk temple, and the conclusion was unusually consistent, Li Shi was a celebrity in Guangdong, and his reputation was far from matching his identity as a canon of Nanhai County.

"He is the key figure in colluding with Guangdong officialdom, Lord Wang, as long as he is captured, Guangdong Province, up to the governor, down to the county government, what evidence of crime can't be obtained!?"

Li Wei's positioning of Li Xi is exactly like this, which is also in line with Yinzhen's judgment.

"With such a wrist, it's really like that old eight."

He was still muttering in his heart.

"Take me to send the customs defense, and send the Guangzhou Mansion to arrest immediately!"

Yin Zhen gritted his teeth, he was going to do this thunderbolt thing.

Li Wei frowned: "Lord Wang, that Guangzhou prefect Li Zhushou was a county governor of Yingde County earlier, and he was deeply involved with this Li Shi, and there are rumors that Li Shi is his cousin." ”

Yin Zhen was stunned, he really didn't expect this, he was reminded by Li Wei to think more, Li Zhushou is the eighth man, this person must not be used.

Li Wei said in a deep voice: "If you take him, you have to act secretly, otherwise you will run away like the Zhang Huang family in Yangzhou, and then the prince will be in trouble." ”

Yin Zhen nodded, this is right.

Dai Duo was very worried: "The master is in a hurry, and there are dozens of family members around him, and it is not easy to rely on them to do this." ”

Thinking of the word "soldier", another person's name came to Yinzhen's mind, and after some investigation before, this person should not have been much involved with Li Xi, and he should be the most reliable person in the whole of Guangdong.

"Don't worry about this, what you have to think about is how to hold him quietly."

Yin Zhen commanded in a deep voice.
