Li Rusong seemed to have been greatly shocked and did not say a word. He even picked up the tea in a daze and poured it into his mouth.
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Wait a minute...it's hot!"
It was too late to say this.
Li Rusong, who had his tongue burned, squirted out the hot tea, looking like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Seeing Li Rusong being burned by the hot tea, he grinned and stuck out his tongue...
Shen Lie was speechless.
He quickly went to pick up a piece of crushed ice from the ice bucket in the corner, handed it over, and asked with concern: "What is wrong with Mr. Li?"
This is so early in the morning.
This man just barged in blankly.
Don't say a word,
This must be some kind of stimulation.
Li Rusong took a piece of crushed ice and put it in his mouth, while replying vaguely: "Yeah."
Seeing his blushing face, which seemed a little ashamed, Shen Lie gradually understood, could it be...
This man must have also received a secret edict from the emperor!
Seeing Li Rusong struggling for a long time, the broken ice in his mouth melted, and then he coyly took out a piece of crumpled rice paper from his arms and handed it over.
Shen Lie was speechless.
really.
Mr. Li also received a secret edict from the emperor. At this moment, Shen Lie suddenly understood the purpose of this man's visit. He was here to make a confession...
no.
The proof has arrived.
Shen Lie then took Li Rusong's secret edict, handed it over the secret edict he had received, and then began to read it word by word.
Li Rusong's secret edict is even more interesting.
The emperor praised Li Rusong very much in the secret edict, but did not mention anything about the fifty thousand taels. He even rewarded him with five hundred taels of silver and ten taels of gold.
And asked him to keep up his efforts.
Do your job well.
Look at this secret edict.
Shen Lie opened his mouth slightly, feeling that his outlook on life and worldview had been greatly impacted. What does this mean?
Think for a moment.
Shen Lie understood somewhat again.
This is called the emperor's mind!
The emperor just likes to say the exact opposite. When the emperor praises you so much and starts praising you, it is best to tighten your skin.
Run softly.
When the emperor starts to criticize you and teach you a lesson...
It will probably be reused.
The emperor is beating Mr. Li.
I understand in my heart.
Shen Lie handed the secret edict back, then took the secret edict handed back by Li Rusong, and each hid it carefully.
Then the two looked at each other.
I feel sad in my heart.
At this moment.
Shen Lie and Li Rusong, who almost fell into the trap, naturally had mixed feelings in their hearts, exchanging glances while each secretly rejoiced.
They look very much like a pair of brothers in need.
After another moment.
Li Rusong stood up, blushing and lowering his head.
He hugged Shen Lie and hugged his fists.
Then Mr. Li said vaguely: "Thank you very much."
he knows.
If Shen Lie hadn't acted cautiously at the banquet and must have written down the IOU, what would have been waiting for him would not have been a secret edict, but a transfer order to drive him back to Liaodong.
The glory and wealth have become a castle in the water.
See him like this.
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "No need to thank you."
Thank you.
Li Rusong clasped his hands behind his back again, turned around and left in a hurry.
Shen Lie hurriedly chased after him and watched as this man led his elite men without stopping at night and hurriedly walked out of his house.
There was a moment of silence.
Shen Lie had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs: "Master Li, please walk slowly...come here often!"
Li Rusong turned around and waved.
Going faster.
After a while.
Looking at the strong and burly back of Mr. Li, Shen Lie couldn't help but laugh or cry. He was truly worthy of being the queen of Liaodong generals.
His temperament is so upright.
All the joy, anger, sorrow and joy are written on his face.
That's it?
Shen Lie shook his head. He knew why the Liao army, which was invincible in the Wanli Dynasty, could not defeat the adults in the court.
A martial artist is a martial artist, so naturally he doesn't have to be so fancy.
Smile slightly.
Shen Lie said no more.
I began to have some changes in my mind towards Mr. Li Rusong. Although he is greedy for money and lustful, are there any adults in this age who are not greedy for money and lustful?
For someone like Li Rusong, who has a family background and official position.
Women and money are too easy to get.
After another moment.
Shen Lie gathered his mood and walked back to the inner house.
Thinking again and again.
He decided to pick up the pen and write a letter to Zhang Jingxiu. After grinding the ink, he picked up the brush and thought of the invisible net again.
The feeling of lovesickness came to my mind.
Shen Lie gritted his teeth.
Writing in a hurry.
"My brother who practices meditation can see words as if they were face to face..."
But his expression changed again.
Shen Lie put down the brush, crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it away. After thinking about it, he hurried over and picked it up.
He took out the fire folding paper and shook it, watching the paper ball turn into ashes.
Then he suppressed the longing in his heart.
Shen Lie hurriedly walked out of the official hall.
This letter cannot be written!
Not long after.
Shen Lie's deep roar sounded in the courtyard: "Here comes someone!"
The sense of urgency made Shen Lie feel a little anxious, and it was time to speed up his actions.
Afternoon.
Across the street from Tongzhou Dongchang Hundred Households is the bustling dock market, with layers of brick and tile houses as far as the eye can see.
Most of them are warehouses, but there are also yamen, barracks, and of course traders gathered here from all over the country.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here.
Look around.
There are stalls on both sides of the street and various shop signs are dazzling. But there is no product that people in this world can think of that cannot be bought in this market.
Wearing a bullfight suit.
Shen Lie and his men slowly hid in the street, ignoring the strange looks from the pedestrians and vendors, and stopped in front of the shops facing the street.
This is a three-story building with a really good location.
It extends in all directions.
There is also a large yard at the back with a warehouse, which is the best place for food delivery and logistics.
But Shen Lie couldn't help but frown when he looked at the golden signboard on the third floor. There were several simple and vigorous characters clearly written on the signboard.
"Nguyen Lady Cloth."
Look at this store.
Shen Lie said softly: "What is the origin of this shop?"
Wang Hu hurriedly whispered: "Sir, this...is the shop of the Ruan family, a Huizhou merchant. It is a large businessman in the salt and tea business, and also sells cloth."
Shen Lie nodded.
Hui merchants.
The power is not small.
Think about it.
Shen Lie had no choice but to say to Wang Hu: "Take this Sir's post and go...ask the Ruan family if they are willing to part with this shop."
Wang Hu responded quickly, took out a gold-sprinkled post from his arms, and strode into the store.
A blink of an eye.
Wang Hu came back dejected.
He looked a little embarrassed.
Wang Hu hesitated and said: "Sir... the guy said... the shopkeeper is not here."
Shen Lie was stunned.
Understood.
Just don’t give face!
I'm sorry to say that Ruan, a Hui merchant, didn't take him as a member of the Dongchang family at all. It's quite normal to think about it carefully.
When Dongchang gained power.
That was already the old calendar of the Jiajing Dynasty.
