Sun Ning's movements in his hand paused slightly, but he quickly poured another sip of wine into his stomach, and then said with a smile: "This osmanthus brew is really good, it is actually brewed in Ruzhou City?" You'll have to tell me which restaurant sells it, and I'll buy some ...... when I get back."

The answer was not what was asked, but the meaning had already been passed on, and Xiao Qian did not continue to ask, so she just smiled and snatched the gourd back: "I won't tell you, look for it yourself, hum ......"

Sun Ning smiled, and could only say: "I do have some grievances with Zonghenghui, but they forced me to abandon my country and home, and I can only be a wanderer." That's why I'm targeting them. ”

Xiao Qian didn't say anything, only raised the gourd, and walked away, without saying whether she believed it or not.

Sun Ning couldn't catch up and explain more, so he could only stand there and sigh lightly, while also reviewing in his heart.

I really exposed the intention chart too directly this time, and coupled with the previous appearance of Lian Yunzhai, it is no wonder that people are suspicious. It's just that his identity is too sensitive after all, at least for now, he can't tell Xiao Qian and them.

However, the harvest this time was still quite large, as more soldiers and horses entered the village, the grain and silver stored in the village were also quickly counted, and then reported to Sun Ning's side.

"There were more than 240,000 stones of rice and flour, 50 boxes of silver, 1,200,000 taels, and 5 boxes of gold and other jewels......

This number fell into Sun Ning's ears, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and secretly said that the vertical and horizontal meeting was really a big deal.

Regardless of the grain stored here for the time being, it should have been stolen from the official warehouse in Ruzhou and elsewhere, and the dozens of boxes of gold and silver property were actually taken out by themselves, perhaps in preparation for the subsequent arrangement.

Whether it is intended to buy grain from Huguang or to buy people's hearts, it is a large expense anyway.

And now, these riches have been confiscated by the officials and soldiers, and it is bound to be a big loss for the Zonghenghui.

Of course, the greater loss is still in the people, not only the 100 good men guarding the village, but more importantly, the exposure of those who are hiding in Ruzhou and other places, if these people are all eradicated, it will be equivalent to cutting off a few arms of the vertical and horizontal society.

No, it should be said that it is the tentacles that are severed.

The current scale of the Zonghenghui is like a huge monster, its tentacles have spread all over the world, and it affects the general trend of the world either openly or covertly.

Breaking a few of its tentacles now may not really hurt it, but it's enough for it to hurt for a while, and it bleeds!

And in the next step, it is almost time for me to leave Huainan and go to Huguang, taking advantage of the enemy's light and darkness, to find out more tentacles and cut them off one by one!

Sun Ning already had a new plan at this time, and for him, Ruzhou was just the beginning, it was time to say goodbye to the people here and embark on a new journey.

……

The wind was so strong that the trees in the courtyard swayed for a while.

But no matter how strong the wind is, it can't blow into the house, and no matter how cold the weather is, it is as warm as spring in this study.

Li Ji, who came to report the news, did not feel the slightest comfort, but felt a sense of heat and restlessness, because whenever he read the content of the urgent letter sent by the flying pigeon in his hand to the master, he only felt as if he had been cut by a knife in his heart.

Compared with his emotional fluctuations, Li Shoumin, who was standing behind the long case and was still writing the dragon and snake, was much calmer.

Even during this period, the movements of his hands were not affected, and he was still able to steadily present every sentence of "The Story of Yueyang Tower" on the paper without any hindrance.

Until—

"Not only the local people in Ruzhou, but also the people of our Zonghenghui were taken down by them, waiting to be executed together with the bandits in Lianyunzhai. There are also five other state capitals in Huainan, as well as some people in the four state capitals of Huguang, who have also copied the list and scattered them in all directions......

"Our people didn't have time to stop it, I heard that someone in Yuanzhou, Huainan had already taken action and taken down our people......"

Let's do it—

A drop of ink suddenly fell from the tip of the pen and landed on the paper that was already full of words, and in an instant it was soaked and stained, dyeing five or six words into a ball.

This made Li Shoumin's expression finally change, sighed, put the pen aside, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it aside: "Qi cultivation kung fu is still far from enough......

"It is said that grandpa he was able to make Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his complexion, and I am far behind."

Li Ji had stopped reporting, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

"I'm afraid the situation in other places is not optimistic, except for a few cities like Liangzhou, which are considered to be under our complete control, in other places, we haven't really made any efforts.

"This really caught our flaws, and it made us very passive."

"President, what are we going to do next?"

"First, let some people who are sure do it early, even if it costs something, to seize the power of the state capital."

After thinking for a while, Li Shoumin said quickly, and raised his fingers.

"Second, those who are not sure yet, this is withdrawn, and we cannot suffer too much."

"Are you referring to the withdrawal of manpower from Huainan and Huguang? What about other places? ”

"Withdraw as well, unless it's someone who is extremely safe.

"As soon as this wind opens, whether it is in Lianghuai or elsewhere, I am afraid that those in power will be suspicious. Once they really put the effort into investigating, they can always find flaws.

"Hey, on the side of the couch, you can't let others snore, these people won't leave any hidden dangers around.

"This time, we really thought about things simply, thinking that we could plan slowly, and we could receive all the power from all over the world little by little through the secret layout. But now it seems that it was a big mistake.

"The world is in chaos, and we can't help it anymore. Fortunately, we already have considerable strength in Huaibei and Gyeonggi, and it is enough to rise from this! ”

Although Li Ji was full of unwillingness, he also knew that this was the most correct thing to do at the moment, otherwise the loss would only be greater.

"Third, don't be afraid to spend money on the brothers who are in distress, the money is used at this time." Li Shoumin raised a third finger and said.

After Li Ji nodded in agreement, he added another finger: "Fourth, and most important, find out who is ruining our big business, find him, and get rid of him!" ”

"The letter mentioned that it was a man named Sun Changan, who first shot in Lianyunzhai with a few accomplices, and then ran to Ruzhou to stir up the storm! He is not a native of Ruzhou, and he appeared extremely suddenly......"

"Sun Changan......" After chewing on the name lightly for a while, Li Shoumin's eyes lit up, and he had already guessed the true identity of this guy.

Chang'an, Ningye!

There is no such coincidence in this world, and there will be no such an enemy who is bent on being an enemy of his own family and knows the means and weaknesses of the Zongheng Society!

I still underestimate this faint gentleman of the past!

Annoyed and regretful, Li Shoumin immediately shouted: "Go and pass the order, let Liu Yanyang go to Ruzhou and find him!" Do whatever it takes to get rid of him! ”
