Chapter 205 The old man galloping from a distance!
His cousin's words made Li Shui feel very uncomfortable. He was still a little unclear.
After a long time, he hesitated and said:
"Brother, why don't we go see Huang An first today? Huang An is still young, so he must have never seen much silver. We only need three thousand taels of silver, no, two thousand taels of silver, and if we say some nice words, we can meet him
Get to him and convince him.
The two of us have evidence that Mashan and Yang Chao are corrupt and extorting money at the expense of human lives. Brother, you are very articulate. If you can take this opportunity to persuade Huang An to take down the Yang Family Martial Arts School and the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce, then the entire Feng'an City will be destroyed in the future.
They all belong to our Li family!"
Li Jie's tone changed from hesitant to affirmative, and his mood gradually became excited.
It turns out that he is more greedy and bold than his cousin Li Shui.
There was never a moment when he felt that he was so smart.
The more I think about this method, the more feasible it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more brilliant it becomes.
Li Shui glanced at Li Jie, a flash of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally a flash of regret.
This stupid cousin is just as good as the dead Li Wei, they are both a one-time twin!
I really hate that iron cannot become steel!
At any rate, there was some progress, but Li Shui knew that his cousin had overlooked a very important detail.
He shook his head and explained:
"Although this method is good, you have to remember that we are the Li family. We are the Li family who has a life-and-death feud with Huang An. We are the Li family with the most power and the most cronies in Feng'an City!"
"ah?"
Li Shui's words made Li Jie confused. He frowned and said:
"What's going on? Li Wei and Li An are already dead. As long as we give them the money and gain their respect, then Huang An and City Lord Zhao will definitely not continue to pursue us!"
"Humph, stupid!"
Li Shui snorted, "You have to remember, even if Li Wei and Li An are dead, the debt they owe still belongs to the Li family, and it still needs the two of us to shoulder it. How we look at it is not important, the important thing is
Huang An and Zhao City Lord are people of all sizes inside and outside Feng'an City. They think these debts belong to the Li family, so they belong to the Li family."
At this moment, Li Shui's hatred for Li Wei and Li An and his son reached its peak.
If there was no previous life-and-death hatred between the two parties, then the method just mentioned by my cousin would really be possible.
The power possessed by City Lord Zhao can easily crush the entire Li family.
The real situation is that as long as City Lord Zhao is not stupid, he will definitely choose to use the power of their Li family to control and manage the entire Feng'an City.
But it doesn't work anymore, and the life-and-death feud with Huang An is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Because the Li family is not the only one who controls Feng'an City.
The Li family was not the only one chosen by City Lord Zhao.
The sword used by City Lord Zhao to control Feng'an City could be from the Li family, but it could also be from the Yang family or the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce.
Even smaller families in the city, such as the Zhao family and the Wang family.
The role of the Li family can be replaced.
This is the most embarrassing thing about the Li family now, and it is also the real reason why he cannot take the method mentioned by his cousin.
The Li family was originally the most powerful family in Feng'an City, and there was already enmity between the two parties.
If Li Shui puts himself in the same position as Huang An and City Lord Zhao, he will definitely not let go of the Li family.
It is much more difficult to control a Li family than to control many other aristocratic families.
Similarly, the benefits that can be obtained by overthrowing the Li family are much greater than those of other families.
For various reasons, Li Shui judged that Huang An and Zhao Yan would definitely not let go of their Li family.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to avoid City Lord Zhao and find the knife that replaced their Li family in the city.
"Our Li family wants to create an atmosphere in the city, that is, in the entire Feng'an City, the big and small families are like a tightly twisted rope. We advance together and retreat together!"
Only by being tied to these families can the Li family get the greatest sense of security and the greatest benefits!
Of course, this real tie is just an illusion they created for Huang An and Zhao Yan, rather than a real tie of interests.
Li Shui's eyes were bright and he worked hard to plan for the interests of the Li family.
He looked at Li Jie, who was thoughtful but still frowning, obviously not thinking about it yet.
"Now you go to the houses I just mentioned in person. You must persuade them nicely and make our attitude clear. After noon tomorrow, we will go to see Huang An together and we must make it clear."
Li Shui rambled on, but seeing that his cousin didn't seem to understand, he simply pointed it out directly.
"All Huang An's actions today are nothing more than forcing us to spend more money to satisfy his and Zhao Yan's greed. Their actions are putting pressure on us to surrender to City Lord Zhao."
As soon as these words came out, Li Jie, who had a grudge against him at first, became a little more serious.
Li Shui seemed not to have seen it and continued to explain: "When you meet Mr. Yang and others, you directly explain the interests and risks. It means that we will go to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall to meet you at noon tomorrow. You can save a lot of money and maximize the benefits.
to protect the interests of the family and get more convenience in Feng'an City in the future!
These guys have shallow eye sockets, especially the Ma brothers from the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce, who are even more single-minded. As long as we come together, we can still dominate Feng'an City after noon tomorrow."
After all the talk, how could Li Jie not understand?
After answering, he stood up and left the study, then left the Li family compound on horseback.
As for whether he will listen to his cousin, only he knows.
In the city lord's mansion, Zhao Yan was sitting at the top, staring at the floor in a daze.
On both sides of the wall at the bottom of the building stood the same bored government servants.
The yamen opened, facing the street with people coming and going, but there was not a single common person in the lobby.
Dozens of people gathered under the shade of trees on both sides of the yamen entrance, squatting on the ground, leaning against the wall, or climbing on the trees, ready to watch the excitement.
As for the grove further away, there were even more people ready to watch the fun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, after waiting for nearly two hours, no one came.
Everyone became more and more disappointed, and the noises and sighs were extremely harsh and sounded from time to time.
Every time this moment, it always causes bursts of laughter.
The battle was quite big. They said that the new city lord Zhao Yanzhao wanted to make decisions for the people. They came early to watch the excitement, or to see if there was a chance that they could cry out for injustice.
However, they were also disappointed when no one came for a long time.
Only a few people in the crowd showed joy.
They squatted by the roots of trees or leaned against the door, blowing the wind with fans while staring at the wind and grass around them with wide eyes.
They seemed very happy that the dignity of the government was compromised.
It was obvious that these people were specially sent by aristocratic families to keep an eye on them.
Once there is news or something that is not beneficial to their owners, they will rush back to report it as soon as possible.
A great family can stand in the world for a long time, and can be passed down from generation to generation, and the inheritance will never be extinguished. The only thing that can be followed is to be cautious.
No family with an orderly inheritance dares to be careless when it comes to matters involving family prosperity, decline, or even life and death.
Even if they knew that no one would take the initiative to sue them today, even if someone dared to sue, the person who would sue would definitely not be someone from a family like them.
Those trivial things have nothing to do with them.
But even so, families like the Li family and the Yang family still have to send people to watch Zhao Yan's every move, for fear of something unexpected happening.
Luo Feiyao was half-leaning on the treetops outside the government office, frowning and staring at the talking crowd with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
It wasn't that she liked being up there, but it was noisy down there, with people gathering together, and the smell of sweat, feet and some weird smells mixed together. She didn't want to get in and watch the fun.
Moreover, the view from the treetops is wide and the cool breeze often blows, which is quite pleasant.
Fortunately, she had already decided to follow Huang An, so she changed into a long skirt and put on a smart outfit, otherwise she would not dare to climb the tree now.
After being deceived by Huang An from the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, she walked through half of Feng'an City, walking, looking, asking, and thinking.
After going round and round, I came back here again.
She seemed to understand some of Huang An's intentions.
Huang An is putting pressure on the Li family, Yang family and other families.
But she had this idea before she came out of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
But based on this observation and guess, she has now reached a seemingly perfect and self-consistent conclusion.
But at the same time, this conclusion is contradictory to her observations all along!
That is Huang An is very greedy. He wants to take the initiative and get more benefits, either money or rights, from these families.
However, this was different from what she heard Huang An and Zhao Yan talking about on the way to Feng'an City.
At that time, Huang An and Zhao Yan were both riding horses, and like himself, they were both walking in front of the team.
When the two talked about things in Feng'an City, their voices were not loud, but they did not avoid themselves.
She was a warrior in the copper-skin realm, so she still heard clearly the conversation between the two.
The goal of Huang An and Zhao Yan is not just some money, nor is it the apparent control of Feng'an City, but to capture Feng'an City from top to bottom.
The two of them made it clear at that time that at least half of the aristocratic families in Feng'an City should be killed.
This is the ultimate purpose of Huang An and Zhao Yan coming to Feng'an City and making many actions!
Under such circumstances, the conclusion I have drawn now is too superficial, and there is a huge difference between the two.
"Is it possible that this place is just a cover-up to delay time? Huang An, who moved the account books and files to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall, really wants to use those account books and files and use the court's laws to bring down the big families in Feng'an City in a fair and just way?"
"Perhaps there are other means to coordinate the implementation of this plan, otherwise the account books and files alone will not be able to devastate families like the Li family!"
Just when Luo Feiyao felt that his guess was getting closer to the truth, his eyes suddenly moved.
A slightly familiar figure hurriedly broke into sight.
"Isn't he organizing people to move evidence and files? Why is he here?"
Luo Feiyao looked at the figure of the old man running towards him in the distance, his eyes becoming more and more confused.
