Chapter 169: What kind of rules

"Dong Weng, this official complaint has to be seen......

"The official seal is now that you can take it, no, no, I don't need to take a closer look at Desheng's affairs, I have to rush to Baihualou to choose a glass lamp for the eighth elder brother."

Guangzhou Mansion, the graceful Li Zhushou waved his hand inadvertently and threw all his official duties to Master Luo. Seeing him so upright, Master Luo was also pleased and chuckled.

Li Zhushou has been the governor of Guangzhou for more than four months, and he initially had a lot of resentment because he failed to break through the provincial level, but as soon as he took over this position, he immediately knew the benefits, and he was also full of gratitude to Master Luo, who planned for him, and Li Shi, who fully supported him behind the scenes. Guangzhou is a fairy land, and although he, the prefect, can't call the wind and rain, he doesn't have to bear too much responsibility. The silver was collected in a hurry, and he was also the eyes and ears of the eighth elder brother in Guangzhou, and he was very tired.

He is a smart person, and he knows that he has Li Xi behind his future, and in line with the principle of courtesy and exchange, he is responsive to Li Shi's needs. Anyway, Li Shi asked him to do things, and he has always done a good job of the beginning and the end, and he will never make it difficult for him. A loan order was issued from the operation of Shaozhou Mansion before, and an official notice is going to be issued today, so he doesn't have to investigate this trivial matter at all.

Seeing that Li Zhushou was gone, Master Luo stamped a big seal on the official notice and handed it to a young man, "Your name is ...... Meng Songjiang? The official document is here, remember to recruit the team leader. ”

Meng Songjiang nodded and took it, hurriedly went out, and beckoned to his companions waiting outside the door: "Go to the class room and order someone, hurry!" We have to go back to Foshan before dinner, otherwise it will be difficult for the general department to do it. ”

In the wing room of the Liang family garden in Foshan, Pan Jinling sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Yan Sanniang's legs, his face was full of pity and pity. Foshan is only twenty or thirty miles away from her Yingci Temple, and she rushed over in a few hours.

"I didn't hurt the bones on the front, but you don't want to jump again these months."

Pan Jinling's words, Yan Sanniang didn't care at all, she complained about another thing.

"He doesn't allow me to use my fists and kicks in the future, how arrogant you say. Sister Pan, beg him on my behalf, just say that there will be no hidden diseases left in my leg......"

Listening to this girl's rare coquettishness, Pan Jinling shook her head with a smile: "You tell him yourself." ”

Footsteps sounded, and Li Xi came in, casually asking, "What did you say?" ”

Yan Sanniang sighed, and was about to pull up the thin quilt to cover her exposed legs, but was pulled by Pan Jinling, "If you don't let him see clearly, how can he rest assured?" ”

The girl lowered her head, her face was so red that she could almost drip, and she forcibly suppressed her shyness, so that the injury and her skin as white as jade fell into Li Shi's eyes.

"I don't want to be called a lame Yan Sanniang, and I'm not allowed to do anything with anyone in the future!"

Looking at a crescent-shaped wound on the side of his calf, Li Xian frowned and shouted, Yan Sanniang's mouth was high, but she didn't dare to make a sound, and Pan Jinling, who was standing on the side, laughed.

"Stay here tonight, there's a big drama at night, maybe there are still wounded people to bother you."

Then Li Shi looked at Pan Jinling, and when he heard this, the corners of Pan Jinling's eyes were slightly red, and he responded with a little nasal voice.

"What's the show!?"

Yan Sanniang is a lively surname after all, people are still hurt, but their hearts are jumping.

"Shut down the door and beat the dog!"

Li Xian smiled.

In another manor in Foshan, the fat Ji Heizi listened to the report of his entourage and slapped excitedly: "Arrested!?" Better! Even better! He sent it to the door himself! Let the people of the Iron Line hurry up! There's a good show to watch in the evening! ”

In the Liang family's garden, Cai Fei and the others rushed over panting, not equal to Han Yi stopping them, so they shouted loudly: "Quick!" Tell Master Li quickly! Something is wrong! ”

In the living room, after listening to Cai Fei's words, Li Shi's face became extremely strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to suppress it.

"I really didn't expect that a dog with such intelligence could actually think of a group with me."

Li Xi finally laughed.

"Cai Fei, would you like to follow me?"

He asked, and Cai Fei froze.

"Aren't you a descendant of Cai Jiuyi and Cai Wuzu? The rules of Foshan should not be made by those snakes and rats who only seek their own benefits, I want to set a new rule for Foshan, and now there is one less executor, he must believe in the rules of God. ”

Li Xian said lightly, Cai Fei only felt a hot breath circulating in his chest, he was just an ordinary wire puller, but he was Cai Wuzu's descendant, and he still believed in rules that were bigger than the rules of Foshan, Li Xian's words, there seemed to be a great future waiting, how could he not want to?

"Master Li, don't worry! I, Cai Jiu, can also call a group of people, how can I protect Master Li and Master Yan to leave Foshan safely, and wait for Master Li to make a comeback! ”

He gritted his teeth and stepped on the boat of Li Shi.

"Comeback? No, no, I'm already here. ”

Li Shi smiled and shook his head.

While he was talking, someone came, just an old man in his fifties, carrying a thorn stick, kneeling in front of the door, and when he saw Li Shi coming out, he respectfully knocked his head three times in a row.

"Old Master Cai!?"

Seeing this person, Cai Fei's eyes widened, isn't this Cai Jujing, the hall master of Juyuan Hall, commonly known as the Foshan Jianghu boss of Old Master Cai?

"I'm here to plead guilty for my apprentice, not only for him to break the rules of the rivers and lakes, but also for him to offend Uncle Yan."

The old man's words made Cai Fei gasp even more.

"I was informed of the competition, including every move. Uncle Yan's last trick is Shaolin long-legged mastery, I heard it from Shizu, it was the original creation of his little junior sister with the law name of five pieces, and it is not something that women can learn. There is no one who can personally guide the five masters, and no one can learn it, so I should call Uncle Yan. ”

Cai Jujing's explanation reminded Li Xian of Yan Sanniang's words before, and it seems that her seniority is indeed very high.

"Do you want to beg me to spare your apprentice? Impossible. ”

What is the purpose of Cai Jujing's relationship, Li Xian knew it in his heart, and he quickly refused.

"Master Li, Jiang Xuan was blinded by victory and defeat for a while, and now I am kowtowing here to admit my mistake to you on his behalf. I also hope to invite Uncle Yan, I will kowtow to her eighteen times, begging her to spare Jiang Xuan, a little junior. If he hasn't been angry enough, according to the rules, he will abolish one of his legs, so that he can no longer rely on his skills to hurt people, this is ......"

Cai Jujing gritted his teeth, and it seemed that he was also heartbroken when he made such a condition: "It should be enough, right?" ”

After a moment of silence, Li Shi laughed, "The rules ......"

The people in the martial arts hall are all in the west, while the iron line is the east line, and the east and west lines are their own rules. The west line talks about the rules of the rivers and lakes, while the east line talks about the rules of the guild.

Before, Li Xi kicked the iron plate in the Dongjia Bank, and the fear of the government was secondary, and the most important thing was that the prospect described by Li Xi was going to break the rules of their guild. Under the conditions of mechanized large-scale production, each iron workshop can no longer keep its secret craftsmanship in the way of a master and an apprentice, nor can it be like a farmer, guarding a small field and earning only its own money. They are afraid of large-scale division of labor, not only in industry, but also in business, because then they will lose their roots.

was originally hesitating, but Ji Heizi, Li Xu's family, came forward to threaten, and if they didn't obey, they would lose the Jiangnan market, so they naturally wanted to boycott Li Shi, and even did not hesitate to cooperate with Ji Heizi to rectify him.

The essence of this Xijia line is the same, although it is a rule of the rivers and lakes, but the first rule of the rules is to obey the Dongjia line and keep one's job, and the second is to suppress any note that causes disharmony in the whole, even if it is a voice that does not want to suffer unfair treatment.

To sum up, the two lines of Foshan are not seeking development, but a bottom limit of survival. For this reason, it is necessary to curb all bad signs, just to create a harmony where everyone can live and only to live.

Although Foshan has been ranked one of the four famous towns in China for hundreds of years, and is still the center of the iron and steel industry in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has not left an industrial enterprise that has been handed down to future generations, has not produced a world-famous craftsman, and even the production process for hundreds of years has not made much progress, the fundamental reason is that it is ...... You have to follow the "rules".

This is the rule derived from the interweaving of Confucianism and law, which should be in the land of Foshan, and it will fall into the rules of the east and west.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, your so-called rivers and lakes are just gutter paths, hiding dirt and dirt, do you still want to set up another set of royal laws in this small ditch? Hiding murder weapons, maliciously hurting people, how to deal with it, you have your own law, don't think about twisting the law even if you kowtow a hundred heads. ”

Li Xi said in a deep voice, Cai Jujing stood up slowly, his eyes flashing, obviously angered by these words. But his eyes flickered for a while, but he didn't dare to make the next move, although Li Xi was not his opponent.

At this time, the so-called rivers and lakes were no longer the rivers and lakes inhabited by the ancient ticklers, but the lower class society composed of coolies such as peddlers and pawns, just like the boats in the Beijiang River. Although Li Xi is just a showman, and he only has the official body of a small patrol, his identity is very different from them, and it is not that they "gangsters" can move at will. Then again, Li Xi himself is also a gangster, and his rank is far beyond what "Old Master Cai". His title of "Li Beijiang" is not false, and tens of thousands of Beijiang boatmen still have to live on his nose.

"Cai's mind has already been brought, if you don't take it, what happens after that, you can't go around."

Cai Jujing could only say this in a cold voice, and what he got was still Li Shi's sneer.

"You're just a prop in the hands of the actor, so you're not qualified to talk to me."

"Don't blame us for not stating the rules to you!"

The leading figure of the rivers and lakes in Foshan gritted his teeth and walked away with half a red face and half a green face. At this time, the sky was dark, and the voices of boiling people could be faintly heard in the distance, and the orange torches lit up like stars.

"Director-General!?"

Sensing the sudden hot air, Yu Hanyi called out worriedly.

"Don't worry, when the show comes out, there will naturally be some excitement."

Li Xian said lightly.
