Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1408
What should you do if a young person drifts away?
Of course, he has to accept the beating of father's love, so that the floating young man can land on his feet and return to the right path.

Li Qinzai was very happy. Brother Shenyan would receive another bath of father's love, and his soul would be completely baptized.

After having tasted the gentle Jiangnan beauties, it makes sense to let the light of father's love shine over me.

Li Qinzai didn't expect that he would be so petty. When the Xue family's son tasted that a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River wouldn't take him with him, he would retaliate like this...

Morality aside, it's pretty cool.

Cool is enough.

Xue Rengui strode away from the commander's tent, and soon a shrill scream came from beside the commander's tent.

Li Qinzai sat dumbly in the tent, his spirits agitated one after another to the rhythm of the screams.

As expected of a famous general who leads an army, he is really capable of killing his own dogs.

After a long time, the screams stopped, and Xue Rengui returned to the handsome tent with a refreshed face.

Li Qinzai hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a pot of warm wine: "Uncle Xue, the wine is still warm."

Xue Rengui took the jug, raised his head and took a big sip, and laughed boldly: "Good wine! I say goodbye, I will ask my good nephew to take care of that evil son in my family. You have known each other for many years. Not brothers are better than brothers. If there is such a bad son, If you make a mistake on your errand, even if you call me to death, I won't blame you if you beat me to death."

Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "My foolish nephew will definitely go to death to summon my prudent and wise brother!"

Xue Rengui nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left.

Li Qinzai respectfully sent Xue Rengui off, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after adjusting his expression, Li Qinzai suddenly put on a look of surprise and distress, opened his arms and ran towards Xue Ne's tent.

"Brother Shen Yan, what's wrong with you? Who is so cruel that he beats you up like this!"

…………

As eight small landowners committed suicide inexplicably, another earthquake was triggered in the powerful circle of Jiangnan landowners.

The emperor's imperial envoys were rampant in lawlessness and cruelty to the landlords of Jiangnan prominent families, and even touched the extremely sensitive thing of "land".

For a time, various rumors and shocking gossip spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and people's descriptions of Li Qinzai became increasingly outrageous.

Some are murderous, some are lustful and greedy for money, some are not leaving a way for prominent landowners to survive, etc.

The news reached Li Qinzai's ears, and even though he was a big-hearted man, he was filled with anger.

Apart from being lustful and greedy for money, what point is right?

I am obviously worried about the country and a model loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic!
Faced with various rumors and rumors, Li Qinzai had no way to defend himself and did not want to defend himself.

It has to be said that the plan of the six prominent families was successful. Public opinion in Jiangnan gradually brewed and fermented, and finally became more and more popular.

The biggest role of rumors is to shake and confuse people.

Landowners of all sizes in the south of the Yangtze River began to feel uneasy, and the six prominent families spread more shocking rumors intentionally or unintentionally, adding fuel to the panic of the landowners.

A few days later, Baiqisi reported that abnormalities had gradually appeared in villages and countryside in many prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Many landowners and farmers gathered together, sometimes shouting with indignation and sometimes arguing with each other.

The land south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more turbulent.

At the same time, in the Lu family's mansion in Wu County, Lu Songxi, who was calm and composed, dismissed a servant, then stood in the courtyard and slowly unfolded a piece of paper as big as a finger.

The piece of paper is small, with only a few words.

After reading it, Lu Songxi crumpled the paper into a ball and sighed in frustration.

"Mr. Lu really can't swallow this huge benefit..." Lu Songxi murmured.Lu Songxi is not stupid. It is impossible for him to believe whatever Li Qinzai says.

In the past few days, Lu Songxi also sent people out to inquire. Gusu is located near the sea. It is easy to find out the news about the imperial court setting up a shipping department, expanding the naval force, building sea-going ships, etc.

After Lu Songxi personally verified it, he gradually became convinced of Li Qinzai's words.

Therefore, what Li Qinzai said is true, and he is not trying to spread the pie.

The imperial court really has a plan to organize a fleet to explore the sea, and it is already being implemented one by one.

Then, it should be true that there is land at the end of the sea that is larger than the land of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the court would not be able to spend so much manpower and material resources on navigation. If the benefits cannot be foreseen, the court will not do it. This was a loss-making transaction.

At the end of the sea, there are indeed huge benefits that are unimaginable.

However, the benefits were too great, and Lu Songxi's original intention of taking it all for himself was completely extinguished.

Not to mention that the Lu family couldn't swallow it all up. Even if they really had the ability to swallow it up, the court wouldn't allow it.

Therefore, now we can only give away this benefit.

Li Qinzai has sent instructions. Regardless of Lu Songxi's unwillingness, this huge benefit is destined to make Lu unable to live alone.

Then, let’s share the profits.

Turning back to the house, Lu Songxi had a warm and friendly smile on his face.

There is a guest in the house, the head of the Yu family in Kuaiji.

There are eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, including four surnames in Wujun and four in Kuaiji. Most of their ancestral homes are located in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Today, Yu Chengzhi, the head of the Yu family in Kuaiji, came to visit on his own initiative.

The purpose of the visit is self-evident. Some time ago, Li Qinzai poured some kind of ecstasy soup into Lu Songxi, which made Lu Songxi determined to kneel down and lick the court regardless of offending the entire Jiangnan noble family.

The benefits Li Qinzai promised to the Lu family of Wu County have become a suspenseful mystery.

So during these days, people kept coming to visit Lu Songxi, probing him inside and outside.

Lu Songxi had never relented before. After all, he really didn't want to share this huge benefit with outsiders. If Lu had the ability to take it all for himself, why would he give it to outsiders?

However, today was different. After receiving Li Qinzai's instructions, Lu Songxi weighed the pros and cons for a long time and finally decided to relent and let some news out.

Since the interests are destined not to be monopolized, we must also seek the greatest benefits through this matter.

Yu Chengzhi sat in the room, looking a little anxious.

In the past few days, this was not the first time he had visited Shi's house. After asking several times but still finding nothing, he felt a little desperate.

But the conspiracy discussed in the Gu family's mansion in Wu County a few days ago sounded like it had a high chance of winning, and could drive Li Qinzai, the god of plague, back to Chang'an. But for some reason, Yu Chengzhi always felt uneasy.

If this young imperial envoy was so easy to deal with, why would the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River be disgraced and forced to retreat step by step?Nowadays, there are faint signs of being desperate and angry.

Therefore, Yu Chengzhi also had strange thoughts. He could not place all his hopes on the conspiracy discussed by the famous families. If the conspiracy failed, what awaited his Yu family might be the same fate as the Zhu family.

So today Yu Chengzhi took the initiative to visit Lu Songxi again.

Not expecting to hear anything from Lu Songxi, Yu Chengzhi just wanted to use Lu Songxi's mouth to express his goodwill to Li Qinzai in a subtle way.

Yes, this is what smart people should do.

Never go to extremes. Both the enemy and ourselves should bet appropriately. No matter which side wins, they will not have nothing.
