There was a crisp sound of "bang", and the white porcelain cups painted with bamboo leaves on the outer wall and produced in Zhengdetang were broken into several pieces in response, and tea was everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhengdetang was once the official kiln of the former dynasty, which made white porcelain. After the alternation of Guozuo, Zhengdetang failed to win the favor of Emperor Gaozu of Dahua, gradually declined, and was soon annexed by his family.

After so many years, today's folk Zhengdetang porcelain are all old things. Antiques are not yet called, but there are already rich and noble families who have selected and collected them, among which the fine products are often worth 100 taels to hundreds of taels of silver.

Li Zhengde doesn't have any preference for porcelain, but after all, the Li family is one of the top ten sects in Qiyang, and it can be regarded as a head and face in the entire Xin'an County, so naturally these elegant things that support the façade are indispensable.

He also did not study porcelain, and used porcelain produced by Zhengdetang in his study, purely because it was printed with the word "Zhengde".

Cao Yuankui leaned over to pick up the fragments and put them on the coffee table, silent.

The Lianyun faction moved east to Qiyang and stood in the Wutong Mountains and Lingyun Peak, which was the thread he secretly pulled. Cao Yujie didn't want to attract too much attention from the various forces in Qiyang, so he took Lingyun Peak as the center in a low-key manner, and wanted to slowly take the entire Wutong Mountain Range into his pocket, and build the Lianyun Sect into a first-class or even top-notch sect with a magnificent bearing.

Chang'an's sudden intervention was unexpected. Ye Tian directly bought the main peak of Wutong, Izumo Peak, and renamed it Ying Tianfeng, which completely disrupted Cao Yujie's plan. Especially the mind and will shown by the Chang'an Association under the leadership of Ye Tian, many people in the Qiyang Martial Alliance implied expectations from the very beginning.

Cao Yujie wants to get the Wutong vein alone, and the other forces that are only leased are not enough to trouble, but the Chang'an Society created by Ye Tian, who holds the land deed of Ying Tianfeng, cannot bypass.

Because the Dahua court relied on and rejected the Wumeng, the land policy of this era greatly restricted the power of the martial arts. No matter what sect it is, once the person holding the title deed dies, the sect needs to bring the original title deed to the company to pay the full amount of the land fee, otherwise the land will be returned to the state. Expressions such as clan succession are only applicable to people who do not have a sectarian background.

Last year in Qingjiang Wangshan, Liu Zhengfeng held the Wangshan title deed unknown where it was hidden, and Zhao Dong sent Fang Chengzhuo to ask for the seal of the head of the Immortal Sect to take the Immortal Sect as his own, which was based on this. He was worried that Ye Tian and Gu Liuli would take the title deed and apply to the government to continue the ownership of Wangshan in the name of the Immortal Sect. Once the procedure complies with the regulations, even Zhao He, the prefect of Qingjiang, will not be able to stop it, and then the only way to seize Wangshan will only increase the variables.

The title deed of the Chang'an Association is filled in Ye Tian's name, if Ye Tian encounters an accident, Gu Liuli, Su Linglong and others can continue to occupy Ying Tianfeng according to the law. However, it is no secret that the Chang'an Society is short of money, and it is not yet safe that they can get such a large amount of money.

The Li family and the Lianyun faction have formed an alliance in private, no matter what the state is in the future, at least at this time, Li Zhengde does not mind clearing the obstacles on Ying Tianfeng for Cao Yujie. But looking at Xu Liang's murder and involving Qiu Rubai, who was still an elder of the Lianyun Sect at that time, is enough to show that Li Zhengde's treatment of Cao Yujie is far less intimate than it seems.

Cao Yuankui, who was a guest of the Li family, only knew half of the assassination plan. There are many things that don't need to be explained too thoroughly, and few people who can achieve what they are today are fools. If it weren't for the news from the Wumeng in the past two days, Cao Yuankui had no idea that the person sent by Li Zhengde would be Tu Zhangwu, the captain of the Zhenbei Military Academy who had violated military orders in the north at the end of last year and absconded in fear of crime.

Perhaps, in the past few years, he has introduced Cao Yujie on his behalf several times, causing Li Zhengde to be wary of himself, right? Unfortunately, this incident was completely caused by his careless use of people.

Cao Yuankui sneered in his heart, but there was nothing abnormal on his face, and said: "Yu Jie and I both feel that the martial arts conference is coming, and if we can make big things small, it will be good for everyone." ”

Li Zhengde laughed angrily: "Are you talking about everyone, including my Li family?"

"For the Li family, it is inevitable that the prestige will be damaged, and how to reduce the impact is the top priority, what does the head of the family think?"

"What do you suggest?"

"Negotiate with Ye Tian, take the initiative to reconcile, and limit the impact of this matter to a certain range. ”

"Do you want my Li family to take the initiative to send him a knife to cut him?" How many ups and downs has Li Zhengde experienced in half his life, and how has he ever tried to bow his head to a junior?

"Yu Jie said, after all, the head of the family is for the Lianyun faction, if Ye Tian accepts the reconciliation, no matter how much money he asks, the Lianyun faction is willing to bear half of it. Cao Yuankui said indifferently.

The Li family itself has never been among the top three rank clan members, but it can still be ranked among the top ten sects in Qiyang, how can there be a shortage of money? This is how the three rank martial artists who have been in the Li family for many years have come here. Li Zhengde forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Even if Ye Tian accepts reconciliation, the people are not clear, how many Qiyang martial arts families are not clear?"

The news of Tu Zhangwu's identity exposure is still limited to a small range, and the Wu Alliance has not taken the initiative to spread the face of the Li family, could it be that Ye Tian will be the same?

"As long as Ye Tian sends a statement to confirm that what Tu Zhangwu did has nothing to do with the Li family, there may still be people who want to suspect it, but not everyone may doubt it. ”

Cao Yuankui's intention was to completely sacrifice Tu Zhangwu.

Tu Zhangwu has now been reduced to a waste, and Li Zhengde is not nostalgic. He asked Tu Zhangwu to assassinate Xu Liang and Ye Tian, and Tu Zhangwu also collected thousands of silver taels, which shows the indifference of the relationship between the two.

The key is that Li Zhengde and Tu Zhangwu once studied art in the same school, and unlike Li Zhengde, who is destined to return to the Li family and become an important member, Tu Zhangwu is quite valued in the division. Let Li Zhengde abandon it, once it is known by the master, the trouble of the Li family may not be less than that of Chang'an.

Li Zhengde said in a deep voice: "You go down first." ”

Cao Yuankui bowed slightly, and when he went out, he suddenly said: "By the way, Yu Jie asked me to convey a sentence, if the head of the family wants to do something for the Lianyun faction in the future, please let me know in advance." ”

Li Zhengde took a few deep breaths: "Got it." ”

When Cao Yuankui retreated, Li Zhengde's face became calm, and he sneered: "Sure enough, it's an unfamiliar dog!"

was actually acting for Cao Yuankui before.

Li Zhengming, who had been beside him without speaking, said: "After the Lianyun faction moved to Qiyang, Cao Yujie did not have much contact with the various families, but under the recommendation of Cao Yuankui, he got very close to the government. ”

Li Zhengming is Li Zhengde's younger brother, the same is the fourth grade, and the difference with Li Zhengde is that he is better at making money, and more than half of the Li family's money is in charge of Li Zhengming alone.

In his opinion, Cao Yuankui was just a doorman in the Li family, and perhaps his status as the commander of Pailing County made him higher than others, but it also made it difficult for him to truly integrate into the martial arts forces here. He and the Lianyun Sect can complement each other intimately, but they can't with other families.

Li Zhengde listened to his words, snorted, and asked, "Do you think it will be aimed at us?"

"I can't say for sure. It stands to reason that we have been cautious that if anything goes wrong, they shouldn't have stood still until now. Li Zhengming shook his head and returned to the topic just now: "Cao Yuankui is right, the most important thing now is how to reduce the loss of the Li family's prestige. If it is not handled properly, many livelihoods of the family will be affected. ”

The livelihood of the Li family is both for the people and for the martial arts. It's just that no matter whether it is folk or martial arts, I believe that few people are willing to deal with the Li family with a tainted reputation.

"What do you say about it?"

"You can try it according to Cao Yuankui's method first, but I don't know the ...... of Tu Zhang's martial arts sect."

"Don't worry, at most spend a little more money. ”
