Wu Conghan realized something, hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, the powerful and intertwined families of the wealthy families are huge and intertwined, even if these wealthy families are embarrassed by the people, the lord must temporarily forbear, it is better to borrow his strength and not to clash with them head-on." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Ren and Li Wei stepped forward to refute them, both of them were old soldiers, and they couldn't get used to the style of the wealthy family, and what they saw and heard these days inspired this dissatisfaction.

Li Ren said loudly: "This is a fallacy! Since the Lord is the assassin of Dengzhou, he must be people-oriented, how can he condone the evil deeds of the wealthy family, or even collude with it? ”

Li Wei said even more directly, pointing at Wu Conghan and Xu Hui and said: "You are all from Luoyang, you are used to seeing prosperity, so you naturally want to get closer to the wealthy family!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Yong, Xu Hui, and Zhu Ming were not to be outdone, and they all stood on Wu Conghan's side to refute.

"When the Lord first arrived in Dengzhou, his foothold was not stable, did you let the Lord make enemies everywhere?"

"If the wealthy families are all over the place today, the Lord doesn't have to do his best, how can he stabilize the place!"

At this time, Li Congyan snorted coldly, his eyes swept over everyone, Li Ren and Li Wei were the first to confess, and Wu Conghan and others also bowed and retreated.

Li Congyan looked at everyone and said, "Can't speak?" Let me say a few words. Although Wu Conghan's words are conservative, the original intention is also for me, and I know it. Li Ren, Li Wei, don't be suspicious, so as not to hurt the brotherhood. ”

Wu Conghan glanced at Li Ren and Li Wei, and then crossed his hands and said, "Lord Mingjian!" ”

Li Ren and Li Wei glanced at each other, and they also made a promise.

Li Congyan said to Wu Conghan: "Although what Li Ren and Li Wei said is not good, it is also out of hatred for the evil deeds of the wealthy family, and it is not intended to embarrass you. ”

Wu Conghan was slightly stunned, crossed his hands and said, "My subordinates have written it down, please rest assured." ”

Then, Li Congyan said: "Now that you have just arrived in Dengzhou with me, it is precisely when we need everyone to unite as one, and brothers must not be suspicious of each other. That's the end of today's business, and no one should mention it again! As long as you are of one heart and one mind with me, there is a danger ahead, and it can be broken with a wave! ”

Wu Conghan and others, Li Ren and Li Wei did not dare to slack off, and saluted and reconciled with each other.

At this moment, Wang Zuhe arrived with more than a dozen tooth soldiers on horseback.

Long before the brigade entered Dengzhou, Li Congyan sent Wang Zuhe to lead people to take the lead and inquire about intelligence in various places in Dengzhou in advance. Although Dengzhou is the "base area" selected by Li Congyan, the local situation is still not very clear, and only by exploring Li Congyan in advance can he feel at ease, after all, knowing himself and knowing that the other side can win all battles.

At this time, Li Congyan looked at Wang Zuhe and the others who rushed out of the night, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know what news will be brought back?" ”

“…… Dengzhou Assassin Mansion Sanshang Zuo and all the participating troops are all An Chong's henchmen, and Dengzhou is constantly harsh and ......"

"Wealthy families are rampant in Dengzhou, and unscrupulously annex land, with the Li family in Dengzhou City, the Cui family in Wendeng County, and the Xue family in Muping County as the most, all of whom have dealings with An Chongzhi and the princes, and their influence is quite large......"

"There are also the Li family in Penglai County and the Chen family in Huang County, which are not as powerful as the other three, but they are also a big family in Dengzhou......"

The power of the wealthy family in Dengzhou surpassed Li Congyan's and it, and at this time, Li Congyan secretly said in his heart: "It seems that going to Dengzhou is destined to have a fight." ”

Putting away the information, Li Congyan asked in a deep voice, "How far is Dengzhou City?" ”

Wang Zuhe forked his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there are still more than twenty miles away from Dengzhou City. ”

Li Congyan's heart was heavy at this time, the situation in Dengzhou was worse than he expected, but Li Congyan did not flinch at all, with his familiarity with history and the knowledge of later generations, Li Congyan was confident to open the situation in Dengzhou.

"Early tomorrow morning, the brigade will go straight to Dengzhou City!"

"Whoa!"

That night, Li Congyan sent several tooth soldiers to Dengzhou City overnight, and ordered the assassins of the Shifu Zhu and Sanshang Zuo to meet him outside the city.

Then everyone ate hastily, and most of the centaurs fell asleep, except for some vigilant tooth soldiers.

But Li Congyan never fell asleep, and the figure of the hermit in his mind and Tang Yi's words kept playing back for a long time.

The next morning, a group of officials from the Assassin's Mansion were gathering in a mansion in the city, and these officials were headed by three people, one named Liu Yu, who served as the commander of the Assassin's Mansion, one named Dai Jingbin, who served as the chief of the Assassin's Mansion, and one named Li Jingkui, who served as Sima of the Assassin's Mansion.

Beijia, Changshi, and Sima are collectively called "Shangzuo", and they have no specific positions, and they are not practical, and the imperial court is mostly used to settle idle officials. However, when there is a vacancy in a certain place, Mikami can exercise the authority of the assassin on his behalf.

Now that the post of Dengzhou Assassin has been vacant for many years, don't drive Liu Yu, Changshi Dai Jingbin, and Sima Li Jingkui to take the opportunity to share the authority of the Assassin History, Liu Yu is in charge of administrative affairs, Dai Jingbin is in charge of criminal affairs, and Li Jingkui is in charge of the state and county soldiers and horses, and the three of them seem to have become the actual controllers of Dengzhou.

"Liu Beijia, the Lord Thorn sent this time is the prince, and this errand is not easy to do."

Changshi Dai Jingbin took a black plum in his mouth while leaning back on the recliner and talking.

Before Liu Yu could reply, Sima Li Jingkui on the side said loudly: "Hmph! What about the prince? Don't forget, this prince is just the adopted son of a saint, not a shatuo species at all! Besides, this is Dengzhou, not Luoyang, and whoever has a bad job in the future will have to talk about it! ”

Don't drive Liu Yu laughed and said, "Li Sima is right. Don't say that Dengzhou is already the world of the three of us at this time, even if the prince has hands and eyes, but we are not vegetarians, hasn't An Xiang (An Chongzhi) already sent a letter, let's do what An Xiang wants! ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

The three of them got up one after another, and Cao Shenjun, who had been waiting around, such as Sigong, Sicang, Sihu, Judicial, and Sibing, got up and agreed, and everyone's attitude was extremely flattering.

Don't drive Liu Yu looked at everyone a little arrogantly, and said: "The assassin history has never arrived, and the official affairs of the government must not be delayed." Today, there is Si Tian to join the army and wait outside the city, and the rest of the people will go back to work! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately took the order to leave, and Liu Yu, Li Jingkui, and Dai Jingbin continued to discuss.

Li Jingkui said: "Liu Beijia, let's also think about how we should end up if the prince is angry?" It's still necessary to plan ahead. ”

Liu Yu seemed to be the head of the three, and at this time he pondered for a while, and said: "As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, if that prince is smart, he should know that Dengzhou is our final say, and he will not tear his face with us." What's more, what kind of great ability can he, a down-and-out adopted son who was degraded by a saint, turn mountains and seas? Don't be afraid of him! End? No need! ”

Dai Jingbin frowned slightly, and said: "But he is the prince after all, I am afraid that one day the saint will lose his anger and recall him back to the court, and then we will ......."

Liu Yu didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Now that several princes in the DPRK and China are fighting fiercely, our prince of the assassination has no chance of turning the tables, and it is doubtful whether he can even return to Luoyang! ”

Li Jingkui and Dai Jingbin couldn't stop laughing when they heard this.

At the same time, Li Congyan led a large group of men and horses to arrive outside the south gate of Dengzhou City.

Li Congyan frowned slightly on the horse, and the Si Tian in the Yamen in front of him was full of smiles.

"What about the rest of the Assassin Yamen? What about Mikamisa? Don't they know that the history of the Assassin has arrived today? ”

Li Congyan had already sent a fast horse to inform the Assassin Shi Yamen in advance, and it stands to reason that all the officials in Dengzhou should be waiting outside the city in the past few days. But today, when I saw it, there was only one person in the entire Assassin History Yamen, which clearly didn't take himself into account, this was giving himself a dismount!

Although Li Congyan was angry in his heart, his face was normal, and Si Tian couldn't figure out Li Congyan's reality when he saw this, so he couldn't help but feel a little timid.

Li Ren and Li Wei were furious, if it weren't for Li Congyan restraining them, the two of them would have beaten up Si Tian in front of them to vent their anger.

Wu Conghan and the others frowned slightly, obviously not expecting this situation, but Wang Zuhe had been paying attention to Li Congyan's expression, holding back his strength and preparing to perform in front of Li Congyan.

Na Sitian joined the army and said: "Assassin Shi is strange, there are many affairs in the city at the moment, and the position of Dengzhou Assassin has been vacant for a long time, so the yamen is very busy, and it is impossible to delay government affairs in order to welcome Shangguan." If you waste political affairs, you will be a failure to the saints. ”

Li Congyan sneered: "What a good pair of teeth!" Are all the officials of Dengzhou Assassin's Mansion like this? ”

After speaking, Li Congyan slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse ran up with a neigh, and Si Tian was suddenly startled when he joined the army, and fell directly to the ground between dodging, making a disgraced face.

Li Ren, Li Wei, Wu Conghan and other brigades followed, and everyone went directly into Dengzhou City, leaving only the stunned Si Tian to join the army.

"This ......"

Si Tian joined the army and was stunned for a while, and suddenly saw a tooth soldier riding a horse back, and just about to speak, he heard the tooth soldier say loudly: "There is an order for the assassin history: after an hour, he will be promoted to the Yamen of the assassin history, and immediately notify all the officials in Dengzhou City to come to discuss the matter, and those who are late or do not arrive will be severely punished!" ”

Don't drive Liu Yu's mansion.

Seeing Si Tian join the army who came to report the news, Li Jingkui and Dai Jingbin frowned slightly, and the two realized that Li Congyan was a little difficult to deal with.

Liu Yu looked at the two and said, "Don't think about it, then Li Congyan has been a prince for a long time no matter what, and he still has a little temper." This time this dismount is to suppress Li Congyan's prince's temper and let him settle down in this Dengzhou City! ”

Li Jingkui nodded in agreement, and at this time he was also relieved, and said, "That's right! An Xiangquan leans towards the government and the opposition, even the eldest prince has to avoid his edge, not to mention this down-and-out prince who is known as benevolent? I don't believe that Li Congyan, the deposed and down-and-out adopted son, can still go to heaven! ”

Si Tian on the side asked, "Three adults, it's just that the assassin Shi gave an order, how should we deal with it?" ”

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "This is easy to do, Shangguan's order still has to be conveyed, but when everyone has time to go, it depends on everyone's own arrangements." Assassin Shi Rende, I will be considerate of you. ”

"Oh, Xia Guan understands!"
