Chapter 299: Conspiracy
The warm atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival wafted in Queensland, but Old Man Li felt extremely uncomfortable, and even his temper was much more irritable. Maitreya Buddha-like laughter rarely occurs.
The words that Shen Zejing said at the banquet a few days ago appeared in Old Man Li's heart from time to time, so he felt even more worried about the future of the family.
Li Cishan kept the position of president of the Medicine Market Guild, but he took out a large amount of money. And after the Sanqi incident, his prestige in the guild seems to have been shaken, and Yang Budun has to oppose and ridicule his ideas and measures if he has anything to do, which has never happened in previous years.
Without the position of the Queensland Thorn History, Li Huishan is idle at home, he is the eldest branch of the Li family, but now he has nothing to do. He can't do other things in the family, and he can't do the most important business in the family better than Li Mianshan. Now Li Huishan is depressed, and he seems to have no other pursuits except to stay in the backyard and have fun with his wives and concubines.
That business is still running around in Li Mianshan. After all, he was worried about the household department, and Li Mianshan did not dare to be careless, and personally supervised the situation of those mineral deposits. The situation of the mines, miners, ore veins, etc., is as smooth and smooth as possible, and the accounts are properly organized, and there will never be people to grasp the handle, which is the only thing that makes Old Man Li happy.
Recently, too many bad things have happened in the Li family, and the old man Li always feels that the family's luck is a little blocked, is it because of the feng shui layout?
Old Man Li couldn't help but think like this, and after carefully confirming that everything was normal outside the council hall and the gate, Old Man Li relieved himself.
Since it's not a matter of transport, then it's manpower! Since the officials of Si Tiantai have criticized the Li family's feng shui fortunes, then the Li family will definitely be able to continue to prosper! The most important issue now is to change the family's predicament and lead the clan through these crises.
When Old Man Li thought of this, he raised his infinite fighting spirit in his heart. Spiritual power is certainly a big support for him, but it also shows that Old Man Li is indeed a rare generation of patriarchs. After the initial depression had passed, he struggled to think of ways to cope.
Although they have experienced so many things and lost so much money, the Li family's prestige and family background are still there. At the behest of Old Man Li, Li Cishan took action to rectify a pharmacist who wanted to join the Yang family, so that he had no return, and even his ancestral house had to rely on the help of the Yang family to keep it.
Li Cishan's thunderous technique played a deterrent role. The rest of the pharmacists who were watching suddenly remembered that the Li family was the Li family at the head of Queensland after all! Follow the Li family. There may be losses. But not to follow the Li family. Nothing!
It didn't take long for the medicine market guild to regain calm, and Li Cishan's words were except for Yang Buxun. No one dared to refute it.
On the other hand, Mr. Li tried to repair the relationship between the Li family and Peng Mingyi. Peng Mingyi is the general of Xining Wei, this is a super large backer, and the Li family cannot do without his escort.
"Since money can't move him, then he can only move people with affection." After Li Mianshan once again reciprocated Peng Mingyi who still refused to accept the two percent of the gains, Old Man Li stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile.
For Peng Mingyi, Mr. Li thinks he can still grasp it. Peng Mingyi is a general of the First Guard, in charge of 120,000 soldiers and horses of Xiningwei. is decisive on the battlefield, he is a brave general, but he values love and righteousness, otherwise he would not have protected the Li family for so many years.
This is to thank the Li family for their support to him at the beginning. Even, he is still a little greedy. Otherwise, I won't accept the 20% of the gains.
Although I don't know why he has changed recently, Old Man Li believes that a person's nature will not change so easily. must let him remember the Li family's affection, and must let him know that it is not appropriate to have no money.
Therefore, Old Man Li found his niece, that is, Peng Mingyi's wife Li, and reminded her of her words, and when he saw that Li understood, he put his mind at ease and waited for Li's next words.
But he didn't wait for any good news. Because during this period of time, Peng Mingyi was in Xiningwei's military tent, and he never returned to the General's Mansion at all, and the Li family couldn't even see his face. When no one is there, all kinds of arrangements and arrangements have come to naught, and Peng Mingyi can't see the past that Old Man Li wants Peng Mingyi to feel nostalgic for.
No matter how many people count, they can't beat the heavens.
The chaos in Xiyan seems to have calmed down, but the Queensland generals who are close to Xiyan are like facing a great enemy. They don't know what the next step will be after the Xiyan Rebellion is quelled, and the soldiers and horses of the Anbei Protectorate and the Xining Guard are all ready, but they are afraid that there will be any emergencies.
Under such circumstances, how could Peng Mingyi easily leave the Xining Guard's tent? For a general, it is normal to be ready for battle at any time and not go home for a month.
The relationship with Peng Mingyi couldn't be pulled in for a while, and Old Man Li was not so frustrated, all because he had two other good cards in his hand. Those were the two cards he had gotten with years of filial piety, and the income of 20% every month, the extremely high profits, was constantly given away, all in order to get the help of these two cards.
Xining Dao observation envoy Xie Tongfu and Anbei both protect Zhao Yugang, and the relationship with the Li family has always been very good, if Peng Mingyi is added, the three giants of Xining Dao all have a constant relationship of interest with the Li family, which is the most proud place of Old Man Li.
Although Peng Mingyi alienated the Li family and did not take the two percent of the income, Xie Tongfu and Zhao Yugang have always maintained close contact with the Li family, and the two percent of the income still fell into their pockets steadily, no different from the past.
For Mr. Li, the willingness of these two people to continue to take the two percent of the income is a good signal. Everyone is in the same boat, and Mr. Li believes that they will not let this boat sink.
"Li Gongxu, this old horseman! I really thought I was a character! If you want me to help you on your behalf, how can I help? Peng Mingyi wants to withdraw his hand, can I still hold it down? After seeing the letter sent by Old Man Li, Xie Tongfu thought a little sneeringly, and was very tired in his heart.
There is no constant friend, there is constant benefit. When the benefits are not or not so big, Xie Tongfu feels that it is a tiresome thing to deal with people like Mr. Li.
If it weren't for the fact that the Li family could still send the two percent of the income on time, Xie Tongfu wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to the Li family at all.
However, the Li family blindly weakened, and it was not a solution, and the Li family fell. I don't have any of these two percent of my income! This sum of money is not only what I want, but even the master wants it too! - Xie Tongfu continued to think.
The sound of "fluttering" sounded, interrupting Xie Tongfu's thinking. He raised his eyes and saw that the fat and honest carrier pigeon had landed in his house again.
Xie Tongfu skillfully took down the note on the carrier pigeon, and after reading the meaning clearly, Xie Tongfu's face showed a relaxed smile. It seems that the Li family must help.
"Someone! Prepare the carriage and horses! This official is going to Queensland! After burning the note, Xie Tongfu raised his voice and said this, and told his subordinates to get ready. He went to Queensland to see. Queensland has a new assassin. This Shangguan himself. Gotta go and offer some condolences, don't you?
Observe the embassy is located in Yibang, which is not very far from Queensland, less than half a day's journey. Xie Tongfu has already entered Queensland, and the first thing he went to was not the Queensland Thorn Mansion, nor the Li family, but Wenzhen.
In Wenzhen, there is a medicine market guild, there are the famous notoginseng medicinal materials in Dayong, and there is also Zhao Yugang in Anbei. This is where the Anbei Prefecture is located. Zhao Yugang, the protector of Anbei, has been guarding here for many years.
When Zhao Yugang heard Xie Tongfu's visit, he still felt a little puzzled. He and Xie Tongfu usually have a lot of contacts, but most of them are official contacts, and they are not very familiar with each other in terms of personal friendship. Coming here without saying hello like this has never happened before.
Although he had doubts, Zhao Yugang still welcomed Xie Tongfu in very warmly, and the two of them greeted each other back and forth, and they didn't get into the main topic for a while.
"I don't know why Lord Xie came to Wenzhen? If it weren't for the busy military affairs recently, I would be happy to accompany Lord Xie to visit here in Wenzhen. Wenzhen's 'good in leisure' is famous far and near! Zhao Yugang's voice was hearty and heroic, and his face also had the unique simplicity and coarseness of a military general.
Xie Tongfu looked at the honest expression on Zhao Yugang's face, knowing that this was just his appearance, judging from the news he had gotten, Zhao Yugang was ruthless. Otherwise, Zhao Yuhua, the quasi-third princess of the year, would not have died violently, that was his only daughter! Otherwise, there will be no and no record in my own hand!
Xie Tongfu smiled slightly, did not answer Zhao Yugang's question, but took out a book similar to an account record and handed him to Zhao Yugang.
Zhao Yugang raised his eyebrows, quite puzzled, what is Xie Tongfu doing?
He took the notebook, and when he turned the first page, his face suddenly darkened, and his whole body was full of evil energy, and his eyes narrowed dangerously, like a hungry wolf preparing to hunt.
"Lord Zhao is not too careful. Smuggling munitions and firearms is a great crime of raiding a house! How can you leave such an account for someone else...... I sent it back to you this time to remind you to be careful, this account cannot be easily obtained by others, otherwise, there will be endless troubles. Facing Zhao Yugang's evil spirit, Xie Tongfu said with a calm smile.
"I don't know what Lord Xie means by this?" Zhao Yugang restrained his panic and anger, and asked coldly.
This account book records in detail the types and amounts of arms he has smuggled into Xiyan over the years, these amounts were originally only available to the people he traded with Xiyan, but why are they in Xie Tongfu's hands?!
What does he want to do? Is it blackmail? Or something else? Zhao Yugang felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing over, and the feeling of being grabbed by someone was so terrifying that he felt breathless.
"Lord Zhao doesn't need to panic. Xie just wanted to ask Lord Zhao if he was interested in taking over the 120,000 soldiers and horses of Xiningwei? ”
