Twenty miles southeast of Penglai County.

Although the Penglai Li family does not have the strength of the three major families, it is also a wealthy family after all, and after the accumulation of three generations of the Li family, this manor was built in the southeast of the city.

The manor covers a small area, only a dozen acres, but the location is very good, and it is very quiet by the mountains and rivers.

Li Sisheng stood at the door of the manor to greet the guests who went to the banquet, and the families from all over the world learned that the Li family in Penglai had set up a banquet, and they brought their families to come, and the manor was very lively inside and outside.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the invited guests had already arrived, Li Sisheng stood at the door and watched the sunset, tried to squeeze out a smile on his face, and turned to enter the manor to entertain the guests.

Behind the manor is a large bamboo forest, surrounded by streams, and at this time there are all hot springs, and the heads of the family and their families who came to the banquet have gathered around and praised this scene.

Li Sisheng smiled and said a few words of humility, and then beckoned everyone to enter the house and take their seats.

Li Jian, Cui Mingshi, and Xue Baochuan were surrounded by everyone in the middle, and even the wives of the three were the same, surrounded by a large group of female dependents, who came to the house talking and laughing.

At this time, the food tables have been laid out, all kinds of delicacies are dazzling, and there is hot wine, everyone is in a good mood when they see this, and they are seated one after another under the greeting of Li Sisheng.

Li Sisheng stabilized his mind, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Everyone, everyone! I am honored to invite you here today, and I do two things! ”

"One: It was because at the wine banquet of the Assassin Mansion a few days ago, Li Mou Meng Lang had a while, and today he set up a wine banquet to report to you! I, Li Sisheng, make it clear here that my Li family's land will not be sold this time, and it will never be sold in the future! ”

"Good!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of applause suddenly sounded in the spacious room, Li Jian, Xue Baochuan, and Cui Mingshi were in a good mood, and they beckoned everyone to raise their glasses to congratulate each other, and had another drink alone with Li Sisheng.

The ladies of the head of the family were also smiling, and they all laughed at Li Congyan, saying that this time it was their own master who had the upper hand and forcibly suppressed the Dengzhou assassin history.

Li Jian's wife said with slightly red eyes: "Today I just had a bad breath!" Isn't it just a sea salt workshop? My lord can see it, that is Li Congyan's blessing, but he is good, he has opposed my Li family several times, and my two hard-working daughters have been forced to die! ”

Saying that, Mrs. Li sobbed softly, and the surrounding circle of female relatives hurriedly comforted her.

At this time, Xue Baochuan's wife said: "Then Li Congyan still wants to distribute the land to the people?" Those untouchables who can't eat, who have the right to divide our land! In my opinion, our family's land is still too small, so we should buy back all the land that can grow food in Dengzhou, and let those mud legs come as hidden households. When the time comes, see how majestic Li Congyan is! ”

After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, she immediately attracted a chorus of approval, and the female relatives of each family began to chatter, as if Dengzhou had been divided by each family.

When Li Sisheng first knew about Li Congyan's plan, he still couldn't bear it, after all, this time it still involved the daughters of various families. But at this time, Li Sisheng listened to the remarks of those female dependents, and the trace of unbearability in his heart also disappeared.

During this period of time, Li Sisheng has been deeply influenced by Li Congyan, and he is very sympathetic to the poor people, they are all raised by his father and mother, why can't he treat them as people? Why can you endure and ignore their lives or deaths? Is it really until the people can't survive and the crowds sweep through Dengzhou, will these families have an epiphany?

Li Sisheng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it at this time.

"Master Li, I only said one of them just now, and what about the other two?"

Li Sisheng's thoughts were pulled back, and he said with a smile: "Second, it is the glass workshop!" ”

"Oh?"

These four words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the women who were originally chattering lost their voices and looked at Li Sisheng one after another.

"My Li family has already mastered the manufacturing process of colored glass, so I want to open another colored glass workshop. As you all know, the glaze workshop in Dengzhou is now co-opened with the Thorn History Mansion, and my Li family can only get a small profit if they work hard for half a day. So, I decided to go it alone! ”

Li Jian suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "What does that have to do with us?" ”

"Good question, Li family master!"

Li Sisheng said: "My Li family's financial resources are limited, and I am worried that Li Congyan will interfere with it, so I want to pull you to do it together, and you will contribute money and shares." In this way, everyone can earn money together, and they can also join forces to fight against Li Congyan, how about it? ”

"Good!"

After speaking, there was another burst of applause, especially Li Jian, who knew that Li Sisheng had such a mind, why did he bother to plot the Haiyan Workshop in the first place?

Ignoring the embarrassment, Li Jian asked some more detailed questions, and Li Sisheng also answered them one by one, and the rest of the people were even more happy when they heard it.

Seeing this, Li Sisheng picked up his wine glass and said, "Since you all agree to buy shares, then this matter is decided, we won't get drunk tonight!" ”

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"Come on, it's done!"

There was a lot of joy at the banquet, Cui Mingshi was the first to get drunk, Xue Baochuan was also drunk, Li Sisheng said with a smile when he saw this: "Happy today, the two heads of the family can't pretend to be drunk, come on, come and add wine!" ”

After shouting twice and not seeing the servants come in, Li Sisheng smiled and confessed to a few people around him, saying: "These servants are just casual on weekdays, but they are still so rude today." Drink it first, and I'll take a look! ”

Everyone crossed their hands.

Li Sisheng walked briskly through the staggered room, walked out of the gate and went straight to the bamboo forest.

At this time, the birch armor disguised as a domestic servant was waiting here, and there were more than 30 new army soldiers in disguise in the bamboo forest.

"Director Li, what's the situation?"

Li Sisheng looked at everyone, then nodded, and said, "It's almost drunk inside, everyone is here, everyone leaves!" ”

"Good!"

Seed Birch Jia said in a low voice: "Come on, immediately send Director Li back to Penglai County!" ”

Li Sisheng said goodbye to the birch armor fork, and left through the back door of the manor under the protection of several soldiers of the new army.

Before walking out of the manor, Li Sisheng saw that all the houses and trees had been stacked with sulfur, dry firewood and other flammable things that caused fires, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it anymore, and his feet also quickened his pace.

Horses were already prepared outside the small gate of the manor, Li Sisheng and several soldiers of the new army turned over and got on their horses, and disappeared into the night in a few breaths.

The banquet was still going on here, Li Jian and Xue Baochuan drank a glass of wine, and finally drank Xue Baochuan down, couldn't help laughing, staggered to his feet, and said: "Your alcohol consumption still hasn't grown, next time you go to my house, I'll give you some Luoyang wine, and I'll make sure you pour three glasses!" ”

After speaking, Li Jian looked around, but he didn't see Li Sisheng's figure, and even the few servants who were still here just now were gone, leaving only himself and the rest of the family.

"Something is wrong!"

Li Jian felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he pulled up a family head next to him and asked, "Have you seen Li Si ascend?" ”

"Wine, he urged the wine to go, go and go back, he goes and goes."

Li Jian pushed away the head of the family who had drunk too much, his heart began to beat up, and he hurriedly walked towards the door, but his feet were weak and his mind was dizzy because he had drunk too much, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, several family heads around laughed, and two of them even coaxed Li Jian to drink a few more glasses.

At this moment, Li Jian smelled the smell of burning, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and by the time Li Jian got up, billowing smoke could already be seen in the room, pouring in through the door and window!

"It's out of the water!"

Li Jian only felt that his scalp was numb, and he yelled and wanted to run for his life. But at this time, the house was crowded, and more than 20 heads of the family, together with their daughters, and hundreds of people, were already frightened by the smoke, and all ran in horror, and the lively banquet was suddenly in disarray.

"The gate is there!"

Li Jian grabbed his wife and daughters and ran towards the door. At this time, Li Jian didn't forget to look back, only to see Cui Mingshi and Xue Baochuan still unconscious, their female dependents were pulling and dragging beside them, and the crying was deafening.

Although Li Jian and the two of them were very close, their lives mattered, and they didn't care whether they were alive or dead at this time.

With a "bang", Li Jian rushed out of the house with a group of family members, and more than a dozen family heads and female dependents also rushed out. But everyone was dumbfounded, at this time, the entire manor was full of smoke, flames, burning everywhere, and the blazing waves of fire were rushing towards them, and Li Jian and the others couldn't feel the chill of early winter at all.

"Run!"

Li Jian yelled, at this time, he had no intention of drinking, and ran towards the direction of the bamboo forest with his family, and the rest of the people also fled in all directions. Many people were dizzy in a panic, blocked by the fire, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into burning people, and the night under the fire was filled with screams and screams.

When Li Jian and his entourage ran to the gate of the manor, they were desperate to find that the gate had been sealed from the outside, and no matter how hard everyone tried, they couldn't open it.

"Master, what should we do, what should we do!"

Li Jian looked at the family members who were crying bitterly, and he was also very anxious: "How can this be, where is Li Sisheng dead!" ”

Suddenly, a terrible thought came to him, Li Jian looked at the fire around him with a trembling body, and roared fiercely behind him: "Li Congyan! You're so ruthless, you're so ruthless! ”

"There's a gap here!"

Li Jian turned around suddenly, only to see several heads of the family struggling to climb a courtyard wall as if they had discovered a new continent, which had been destroyed by the fire, just forming a slightly smaller gap in flames.

Li Jian strode over with his family members, and a concubine suddenly fell down with his little son in his arms, and shouted Li Jian in pain. But Li Jian still struggled to run forward without even looking back.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Jian roared angrily, but who could control who at this time? Everyone scrambled for this gap, and even stepped on their own family members to climb up.

Li Jian was even more so, kicking his wife down, and then he stepped on his wife's back and barely climbed up.

"It's out!"

Li Jian, who escaped, had a sense of rebirth, and the people who ran out couldn't help cheering.

But then everyone fell silent, and they all looked at the night ahead and did not dare to move, and everyone's faces were full of fear.

The men in black, dozens of men in black with sharp blades, were looking at themselves in the night not far away, and anyone with such a scene would be frightened!

Chong Huajia scolded in his heart: "These bastards are fateful, if it weren't for the repeated instructions of Thorn Shi to change their clothes and be on guard outside, it would really be possible to let them run away!" ”

Then with a wave of his hand, dozens of people behind him rushed forward, and everyone had no words or shouts, so they quietly rushed towards Li Jian and the others.

"Is it Li Congyan?"

This was Li Jian's last question, and then a bloody head flew into the night sky.

Early the next morning, as the ragged and dark-faced Li Sisheng rushed into the city gate of Penglai County, a news that shocked everyone spread: the three major families and the heads and family members of more than 20 families in Dengzhou were raided by a group of thieves, not only all the goods were robbed, but everyone was also locked up in the manor of the Li family in Penglai, and the fire was burned to ashes!

In just a few days, the entire Dengzhou was shaken, and Li Congyan was even more furious, according to rumors, Li Congyan scolded the Penglai County Commander, the county Cheng, and the county lieutenant, and also threatened to mobilize a large army to clean up the thieves and revenge more than 20 family heads such as the three major families.

For a time, the whole Dengzhou was in chaos, and the children of those families began to compete for family wealth, and the many hidden families who were attached to various families were also unstable.

And at this time, another news came out that made everyone jaw-dropping!
