Back in the Jiangnan camp, Li Su sent two henchmen to take care of the principal, so he quickly got into his camp tent and wrote a letter to Deping Bo Li Ming.

Because of his previous words and deeds, he gained a high reputation among the soldiers, but also because of his previous words and deeds, some generals with higher status than him had a complaint against him.

With the prestige of Depingbo's Mansion, those generals with a higher status than him must not dare to make any moves against him, but Ling Jun's unclear attitude made him a little unsure of how to deal with it.

If he said that he was kind, there was naturally something, otherwise, he would not openly say that if he was the head of the Jiangnan camp, everything would be different, but this kindness, as if with deep vigilance and rejection, handed over the main matter to his care, and made it clear that he should be able to protect him from death, which is evidence.

Li Su felt that the crux of the matter should be in Depingbo's Mansion.

What Ling Jun hoped for should be something, his father's sincerity.

It's just that Ling Jun didn't say it clearly, and he couldn't ask, he couldn't ask, and this matter became complicated, so he had to report it to Deping Bo Li Ming and let him analyze and decide.

Before, when Ling Ling was just imprisoned, Li Su didn't think that the Li family, who held the military power of the Northeast and Jiangnan battalions, might rebel and directly remove Emperor Longqing from the throne and establish himself as king.

But Deping Bo Li Ming scolded him and warned him that the seat was the target of everyone, and those who sat on it would eventually be burned to death.

The minister of power is the minister of power.

Don't have the mind of rebellion, and you can't have it.

Then, the Longqing Emperor issued an edict, completely cutting off all the room for maneuver in Lingqing, and the Northeast Battalion and the Jiangnan Battalion also encountered a grain procurement crisis in a very short period of time, and the army was discouraged, and even the entire battalion fled.

If before, he still felt that his father lacked courage and was not enough to conspire with him, then after that......

Just like De Pingbo Li Ming once admonished him.

The royal family, after all, is the royal family.

As a courtier, it is never possible to know how many hole cards are left in his hand, and which hole card can kill you.

……

was rejected by Gu Luochen, and the "scarface" who returned to the camp was annoyed by the "scarface" who returned to the camp, and at the back door of the camp, the people who were arranged there by Li Su were arrested.

Knowing that the general trend of his party has gone, "Scarface" did not hesitate to draw his sword and cut himself.

can be as cunning as Li Su, knowing that he arranged someone to block him, how could he not think that he would beg for death?

The "Scarface" was subdued, tied tightly, stuffed a rag in his mouth, and threw it into the firewood room where the principal was held, and the person in charge of the containment trotted straight to Li Su's tent.

The silver ticket found from "Scarface" is worth a lot of money.

It's just that this is not yet ready to be used, or the rest is used, and what is it going to do, but they can't estimate it, so they can only report to Li Su and let him think about it.

"Judging from the direction, this guy should have come back from the town, young master."

The person who spoke, named Li Qi, was the son of the Deping Bo Mansion, and because he was ranked seventh among the children of this generation, he was casually given such a name by the housekeeper.

Since he was a child, he was arranged by Li Ming to work beside Li Su, and he was trusted by Li Su because of his delicate mind and steady work.

The people of Depingbo's Mansion looked down on Li Su's concubine, and had no respect for him, in private, they jokingly called him "Li Qiwei", laughing at him like Li Su's tail, without him, Li Su would become a reservoir dog without a tail, and anyone could bully and humiliate a few times.

"I heard from the soldier in charge of the patrol that he left before his waste cousin, and walked in a hurry."

"Just now, when I subdued him with Nineteen, he actually planned to cut himself."

As Li Qi spoke, he took out the silver ticket from the "Scarface" in his sleeve and handed it to Li Su.

"These are all from him."

"Whether it's ready to spend or spend the leftovers, going out with such a large number of silver tickets must not be a trivial matter."

Taking the silver ticket, Li Su instinctively tightened his brows.

The face value of one thousand taels.

Fifteen sheets.

15,000 taels of silver, the entire Jiangnan camp, ten days of food.

"As far as you know, is there anything in the town that costs such a lot of money?"

After a long silence, Li Su slowly raised his head and looked at Li Qi who was standing in front of him.

In fact, in his heart, he already had a rough guess.

It's just that he hopes that Li Qi will tell his guess and confirm it with him.

"There are only three things that can cost such a large price."

"Power, women, human life."

Knowing that Li Su already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to listen to his own analysis to confirm what he thought, and Li Qi did not refuse.

"There are no green houses in the town."

"Moreover, as a 'scarface', I don't have the courage to embezzle so much silver and spend it on women."

Li Qi said as he took out a booklet from his sleeve, licked his right index finger, and twisted one of the pages of the booklet.

"Let's talk about power."

"That 'Scarface' went out before His Highness punished his cousin."

"At that time, the young master had not drawn a line with them."

"It is impossible for him to ignore the relationship in our house and beg others to save his cousin's life, besides, he may not know that His Highness will act so decisively and not give his cousin a way to live."

After that, Li Qi handed the booklet in his hand to Li Su and motioned him to read the content recorded on it.

"I found this booklet from the fat man's room."

"Judging by the entry, it should be a ledger."

"Please take a look, young master."

Li Su has been in the Jiangnan camp for a long time.

I have heard a little about some of the pickled things handled by the fat man.

It's just that, at that time, with his position, there was no need to delve too deeply into these things that benefited the Deping Bofu, so he tossed them with one eye open and one eye closed from beginning to end.

And now, listening to Li Qi, the fat man actually has an account book in his hand......

Fortunately, this account book was obtained by Li Qi first, otherwise, the consequences may be unimaginable!

"With a safe person, send the account book back to the Depingbo Mansion in the hands of my father."

The letter sent out urgently has occupied a credible person, and it is the right time to employ people.

Li Su suddenly felt that there were people around him who lacked hands.

"Twenty-seven has already gone to deliver the letter."

"In this way, you tell Nineteen, let him hurry up to Yanjing, if he can catch up with Twenty-seven, he will hand over the account book to Twenty-Seven and bring it back, if he can't catch up, he will send it to his father with his own hands!"

The four words "Deping Bofu" recorded in the account book made Li Su's internal organs tremble.

If this account book is sent to Emperor Longqing, it will be as eloquent as Deping Bo Li Ming, and if it is, it will be difficult to escape......

"That fat man, you have to kill it as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid there are not a few people who think the same way as us."

Li Qi said as he looked at the account book in Li Su's hand and pursed his lips.

"The two fools locked up in the firewood room should be one of them."

"I heard that in the town, there is a business name for the Heavenly Gate?"

Closing the account book, Li Su hesitated slightly.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Qi who was standing in front of him.

"According to the market price, the fat man's head should be worth three thousand taels."

Li Qi shook his head lightly, and explained his attitude to Li Su, and the reason why he had this attitude.

"I can think that the young master must not be the only one who asks for the Heavenly Gate."

"If Celestial Gate agrees, this matter will be a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to add more chips."

"If you don't agree...... Presumably, it wouldn't do any good to add more chips......"

"According to the villain's opinion, instead of struggling here and wasting time speculating, it is better to report this matter to the mansion as soon as possible and hand it over to the master for decision."

"The records in this booklet are not related to one or two lives."

He didn't have much affection for his father, Depingbo Li Ming, and Li Su.

For him, Li Ming is just a background, an existence that can make him have fewer twists and turns on the way forward, but can give him up at any time in exchange for benefits.

Just now, Li Qi's words woke him up.

"This ledger."

"You copy a copy."

"Send the transcript to my father."

This booklet involves the heads and prospects of many people.

De Pingbo is just one of them.

By keeping this booklet for himself, would he be able to control some of the power he had been hoping for?

In the Li family, he is just a concubine.

With the heart of Li Ming, it is impossible for him to surpass his brothers and sisters and inherit the family business.

Since there is no hope of inheritance, why don't he support himself and fight a piece of the world by himself!

Li Qi, who has been by Li Su's side and has served him for several years, how could he not understand his master's hopes and ambitions?

At this time, hearing that Li Su had finally made up his mind, it was too late for him to be happy, so how could he splash him with cold water!

"Yes, young master, the minion will go and prepare!"

Li Qimei agreed with a fluttering smile.

He is a close confidant of Li Su.

Li Su is doing well, he can follow the light, and enjoy glory and wealth.

If Li Su loses power, he will not end well.

Therefore, rather than being close and ambiguous with Depingbo's Mansion, he hopes that Li Su can get ahead, and even, one day, the light will overshadow Depingbo's Mansion.

……

Ride vertically and horizontally, and go away from the dust.

A gallop and a flutter.

Shen Hongxue, who appeared at the entrance of the town, wore an azure tribute satin robe.

Behind him were two slow carriages drawn by four horses.

After telling the old man of the Shen family about Liu Qingxin's situation, he successfully won the support of the old man of the Shen family.

Before, cutting off the food supply of the Northeast and Jiangnan camps and helping Ling Jun get through the difficulties was also the idea of the old man of the Shen family.

According to the old practice of the Shen family, throughout the first month, the children and grandchildren of the family must stay at home and are not allowed to go out.

But this year, the old man of the Shen family was worried that Liu Qingxin, a girl who was "injured and amnesiac", would have to keep the New Year alone and no one to take care of her because her identity was not recognized by the royal family, so he dragged Shen Hongxue out of the bed and drove her out of the house on the fifth watch of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Among the two carriages following Shen Hongxue, the one in front was the "New Year's money" specially prepared by the old man of the Shen family for Liu Qingxin, and the one in the back was the "heart" of the rest of the Shen family.

"Cousin lethargy."

"I'm here so early, won't I delay her sleep?"

Looking up, glancing at the sun that had climbed overhead, Shen Hongxue muttered in a low voice.

In his concept, Liu Qingxin, his cousin, whatever he does, is right and good.

Even the adulterous, lazy and greedy are extremely cute.

"Young Master Xue?"

Before, Shen Hongxue had come to the town to visit Liu Qingxin several times, and each time, she would bring many gifts to Liu Qingxin, and she was also quite generous to the people.

The subordinates who work in the good doctor's workshop like him very much.

Today, Sister-in-law Jiang was sent to the grass hut outside the camp in Jiangnan to continue to cook New Year's food for the soldiers.

Because of the years ago, Shen Hongxue specially confessed that according to the rules of the Shen family, he needed to go out of the New Year before he could come again.

Therefore, at this time, the mother-in-law surnamed Sun was so surprised when she saw him at the entrance of the town.

"Well, it's me, Sister-in-law Sun."

Shen Hongxue's smile has a kind of gentleness that is pleasing to the eye, as if he is the plum blossom in the cold wind, and looking at everyone will make that person feel like a spring breeze.

Shen Hongxue, who was born in a family of merchants, has been taught since he was a child that it is important to be polite to others.

He memorized the surnames of each of his subordinates in the Good Doctor's Workshop, and never spoke to them in a condescending manner.

"My grandfather sent me here to give my cousin New Year's money."

"How is she doing these days?"

"It's not good."

If it is with others, the mother-in-law surnamed Sun will not reveal the recent situation of Liu Qingxin.

But the person who came was Shen Hongxue, how could she hide it?

This person, but his wife's cousin, his dearest relative, if he needs to lie to this person, then who else is worth telling the truth?

"Can't say it?"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing that Liu Qingxin might not have a good time, Shen Hongxue instinctively tightened her brows.

"Mrs. is kind-hearted, and she set up a straw hut outside the Jiangnan camp to make dumplings and rice crackers for the soldiers in the camp who are not allowed to return home for the New Year's Festival."

"Yesterday, just after noon, Mrs. took someone to the grass hut, planning to ask Sister-in-law Jiang if she needed to buy something."

"I didn't want to, but in front of the straw shed, I met a bad embryo and was beaten."

When Liu Qingxin was mentioned, the mother-in-law surnamed Sun couldn't help but redden.

Her wife is a good person, she never treats them harshly, and she takes care of the poor people in the town.

However, God just didn't open his eyes, so he bullied her, a good person, and didn't give her a good reward.

"Last evening, we all saw that it was the master who took her off the carriage, and her face was swollen, and we were all distressed when we saw it."

"Our lady has always been a gentle and polite person, and you know that, Young Master Xue."

"If she is not badly injured and can't walk, then what if you want the master to take her out of the car?"

"Even a good person like my wife can do it, how can that bad embryo not be killed by thunder!"
