Chapter 666: The Elaborate Operations of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in Annan
The words of Mr. Li, the leader of the Daiyi tribe, immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene.
Immediately, someone stood up and responded.
"Yes, I support Mr. Li. We have all gathered here this time. In the words of the Han people, it is an arrow on the string that has to be fired. There is no reason to give up halfway."
"This time has been planned for so long. It would be a pity if all the previous efforts were wasted."
Under Mr. Li's gaze, another person also stood up.
"If we succeed, everyone present will be Annan's great contributors. King Annan will thank us vigorously and grant us more land, power, and wealth. Everything you want can be obtained."
"I will definitely give my full support to Mr. Li."
Mr. Li has naturally been planning such a council for a long time, and among the various chieftains present, many have secretly taken refuge with Mr. Li.
So there will never be a situation where the scene gets out of control.
As more and more people stood up, fewer and fewer people were left silent.
Until the end, only the three of them did not express their opinions and just resisted silently.
Among them was the Dai chieftain nobleman who opposed Mr. Li before.
And these three people are obviously from the same Dai ethnic group.
Mr. Li looked at the three of them and had no intention of forcing them. He just said calmly: "This plan is very important. According to estimates, the Ming Emperor's team will arrive at our ambush in about ten days."
"In order to prevent the news from being leaked and spoiling the plan, I have issued strict orders to patrol the surrounding areas day and night for twelve hours, and no one is allowed to go out until the Ming Emperor comes."
"You and the three of you probably won't have any objections."
The three Dai chieftains looked at each other and understood that they were being held hostage. No matter whether they agreed or not, they had no way to get out of this jungle.
"Everything will follow Mr. Li's arrangements."
The last three people could only reluctantly agree.
Given the current situation, they realized that they had already boarded Mr. Li's pirate ship from the Daiyi tribe.
In other words, the matter has been a foregone conclusion since joining this parliament.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Lan Quanzhi frowned and looked at the closely patrolling team, feeling a little anxious in his heart.
He has been lurking in Annan for seven years.
In seven years, he had married, had children, had his own family, and successfully became a member of the Dai Yi tribe.
But no one knew that seven years ago, he was arranged by Zhao Yuanhong to work in Annan for the plan of his former owner of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
There are probably hundreds of people like him who lurk in Annan, and they infiltrate into various chieftain clans in the lowest possible way.
Until the day Zhu Ying became the grandson of the Ming Emperor, only some people revealed their identities.
And more people like Lan Quanzhi continue to lurk.
Even if Zhao Yuanhong left Annan, they did not choose to come out.
In fact, in most cases like this, they do so voluntarily.
When Hu Jiya was defeated and Ming Dynasty took control of the court, someone contacted them to see if they were willing to enter the officialdom or other official positions.
Some people choose to give up, restore their true bodies and obtain official positions, and some, like Lan Quanzhi, have greater ambitions.
Because according to the latest regulations, if Lan Quanzhi and other lurking personnel have no merit, they will only be given merit according to the number of years they have been lurking.
The calculated merit is very low, and it is not said that there is a very good position, and it is even more unrealistic to rise to the top in one step.
And if you can achieve great achievements, even a hereditary title is not a fantasy.
Obviously, Lan Quanzhi had waited for this opportunity.
It's just that Mr. Li of the Daiyi tribe was very cautious and kept the news secret from leaking, which gave Lan Quanzhi no chance to convey the information.
'I have to find a way, otherwise if I miss this opportunity, I will really have to be a mediocre official.'
Why is it for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty? Lan Quanzhi is really not that great.
In this world, if you want to get ahead, you don't have to work hard and you will have a chance.
What's more, opportunities are needed, otherwise there won't even be a chance for promotion.
Secondly, Lan Quanzhi was not worried about the safety of the Ming Emperor, because he knew that the outside world was basically aware of this plan, and perhaps all the troops and horses were ready.
After all, the number of people arranged by Military Advisor Zhao at the beginning was quite large.
In addition to those who are latent, there are also those who are bribed with money and those who instigate rebellion.
He is just an inconspicuous little character.
'We have to fight hard. Maybe I should talk to Li Zhong.'
Lan Quanzhi looked at the gradually darkening sky and began to think in his mind.
He is also a member of the patrol team, but there are a total of five people in each team. While patrolling, they are also supervising and restricting each other.
Li Zhong is from the Daiyi tribe, but Lan Quanzhi knows that Li Zhong hates the patriarch's family very much.
Because the person Li Zhong once loved the most was forcibly taken over by the seventh son of the patriarch.
After thinking about it, Lan Quanzhi picked up a bottle of wine and went to where Li Zhong lived.
In fact, Li Zhong's family's status in the Daiyi tribe is not very low. There are several brothers in the family, and their life is pretty decent.
As for the fact that the person he loved most was occupied, Li Zhong never mentioned it to anyone.
Lan Quanzhi heard this from the patriarch's ninth son when he was drinking with him.
Bang bang bang.
As the door knocked, footsteps came from inside the house.
The door opened, and Li Zhong asked with some confusion: "Aren't we patrolling tonight?"
Lan Quanzhi raised the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "I came here to have a drink with you."
Li Zhong frowned slightly, because his relationship with Lan Quanzhi was not good, and naturally not bad either. Their friendship was shallow.
Lan Quanzhi is an outsider and has no status in the clan. In theory, he is not qualified to drink with him.
There was nothing going on around him, and he couldn't go home recently. Li Zhong stepped aside and said, "Okay, come in."
Lan Quanzhi followed and walked in.
The house is not big, but it is quite spacious for one person to live in. After all, this is just a temporary residence.
Like Lan Quanzhi, there are several people crowded into a house.
"Brother Lan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You don't have to beat around the bush like this. I can't speak in the clan. If I can help you, I will try my best to help you."
After the wine was filled, Li Zhong took a sip and felt a little unhappy.
Because this wine is obviously cheap and inferior wine.
After all, Li Zhong had some dignity, so he wouldn't drink such bad wine, so when he spoke, he seemed to be chasing away guests.
"I don't know Brother Li, but I know Xiao Fei." Lan Quanzhi said.
Hearing the name Xiao Fei, Li Zhong's expression changed, and he immediately stood up, stared at Lan Quanzhi fiercely, pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here."
Lan Quanzhi shook his head gently: "I'm here to help you get revenge. You have to think clearly. If I leave this door, you will have no chance of revenge."
Hearing this, Li Zhongxin was stunned and asked: "What do you know?"
Lan Quanzhi picked up the wine flask, filled Li Zhong's bowl, and said, "Sit down and talk."
Although Li Zhong was a little reluctant, he still sat down.
Lan Quanzhi then said: "A few days ago, I wanted to be a waiter for Li Shang. I listened to them talking about Xiao Fei's affairs. I also knew the general situation, so I came here to see you today."
"I just want to know if you have any thoughts of revenge."
Hearing this, Li Zhong no longer concealed anything and shouted: "I want to kill that beast even in my dreams."
"He not only defiled Xiao Fei, but also killed our child."
In an instant, Li Zhong's eyes turned a little blood red.
It turns out that Li Zhong and Xiao Fei have been secretly together for a long time, and they are not even pregnant.
But I didn't expect that when the clan leader's seventh son was drunk, he not only committed an invasion, but also committed murder in fear of being exposed.
This matter was quickly exposed, but was suppressed by the clan leader, Mr. Li.
A little girl settled the matter by paying some money, and Xiao Fei's parents happily accepted it.
Li Zhong was the only one who couldn't calm down.
"As of now, I won't hide it from you. You also know that people like us have been living in the dirt all our lives. It is extremely difficult to make changes."
"But now, there is an opportunity in front of us. If we can succeed, there will be no shortage of glory and wealth in the future."
"We are on the same patrol team. As long as you and I join forces, we will surely take this opportunity to go out and report this matter to the government."
"When the time comes, you will be rewarded according to merit, and you will understand that as the chief culprits, no one in the clan leader's family will survive."
"In this way, not only will you get your revenge, but you will also make great achievements. Wouldn't your life be happy in the future?"
Lan Quanzi follows the path of good guidance.
Li Zhong was shocked.
"You actually want it"
After all, he didn't dare to say anything. As soon as he started, he got up and went to the door.
He looked at the situation outside through the gap, then turned around and walked back.
"Do you know what the consequences of this will be?" Li Zhong's voice became a little lower.
He didn't expect that Lan Quanzhi would be so bold and even think about going out to inform.
"What are you afraid of? What do you have to worry about after you have achieved merit? This involves the safety of the Ming Emperor. Not only can he get money, he can even get an official position."
"With money, why do we need to live in a place like this? Are you just thinking about those acres of fertile land?"
"How about moving to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to live there, the prosperity there is beyond your imagination."
Lan Quanzhi said with an indifferent expression.
It seems that snitching is not a big deal at all.
In his words, he deliberately ignored the consequences that those who planned the plan would get after informing the public.
"No, no, too many people will die." Li Zhong thought about it, and finally chose to shake his head and refuse.
As a member of the Dai Yi tribe with the surname Li, Li Zhong knew some secret information.
I also understand how horrific the consequences of this revelation would be.
Such a tip would definitely arouse the wrath of the government, and many people would die without even having time to escape.
"If you don't tell the truth, won't someone die?"
"The patriarch is just using us. Believe it or not, he has already arranged an escape route, but he didn't tell you."
"Whether the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty dies or not, there will definitely be a large army to encircle and suppress him this time. We people are just a shield for the clan leader. He wants to gain benefits by stepping on our corpses."
Having said this, Lan Quanzhi said again with sadness: "Even if you don't want to avenge Xiao Fei, but what about Xiao Jie, do you just want to see Xiao Jie fall into the hands of those beasts?"
Li Zhong looked in disbelief: "How do you know?"
Xiaojie is Xiaofei's younger sister, and she looks somewhat similar to Xiaofei.
Men are all big pig hooves.
Lan Quanzhi actually didn't know that Li Zhong had thoughts about Xiaojie. After all, the girl was only twelve years old.
He was just cheating, but he didn't expect it to actually come out.
"As long as you cooperate with me, not only can you avenge Xiao Fei and let go of the evil in your heart, but you can also take Xiao Jie far away without any restrictions."
"Originally, you and I are just the abandoned sons of the clan leader, why should we risk our lives for him?"
Lan Quanzhi's words made Li Zhong hesitate.
In fact, Lan Quanzhi was wrong in one thing. He, Li Zhong, was really not an abandoned son.
The clan leader, Mr. Li, did have arrangements, and he, Li Zhong, was also one of the people who would evacuate when the time came.
In any case, Li Zhong is a person whose surname is Li and is listed in the family tree.
But these are not too important to Li Zhong now.
"Okay, I promise you, you tell me what to do."
Li Zhong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. At this time, the bad wine seemed to have turned into fine wine, and a burst of heroism burst out from his heart.
Lan Quanzhi revealed his plan.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Tomorrow night you and I will patrol and work together to settle the remaining three people, and then we will run out together."
"Don't worry, I have a way here. I can spread the news directly. Then everything will become much simpler. Just wait quietly."
Hearing this, Li Zhong took a deep look at Lan Quanzhi, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
He now remembered what his tribesmen once said, none of these outsiders could be trusted.
At that time, he thought it was nothing, they were just wandering miserable people.
Now that I look at it this way, I know that there must be something wrong with Lan Quanzhi.
Because most people who want to report have nowhere to go, and Lan Quanzhi talks so confidently, he is naturally the one with the problem.
But now, Li Zhong has figured it out.
No poison, no husband.
If he could really gain glory and wealth, it wouldn't matter if he betrayed his people. He already hated these people anyway.
He wanted to marry Xiaojie, but his clan members opposed it.
Who knows that these people who object are looking at the son of the patriarch.
It's better to die, it's better if they all die.
Hatred and greed filled Li Zhong's eyes. Seeing this expression, Lan Quanzhi felt relieved.
The hands that had been placed casually on the waist before slowly relaxed.
"Brother Lan, you"
At this time, Li Zhong suddenly felt dizzy.
Obviously, there was something wrong with the wine.
Lan Quanzhi said with a smile: "Brother Li, I am doing this for safety reasons, because I am afraid that if you don't want to, you will betray me."
"Don't worry, there are no other problems. Just have a good sleep and we'll do things together tomorrow."
People like Lan Quanzhi have naturally been trained by Zhao Yuanhong.
Although it does not reveal his identity, if Li Zhong disagrees, it is no different from being exposed. Naturally, he must be careful about both.
