Bai Qiannuo, who was looking slightly thinner, sat in the room, staring blankly at the imperial edict in her hand. She couldn't bear it anymore, tears poured out of her eyes, and she murmured: "Brother, Qiniang really misses you."
If you ask her if she regrets it at this time, she will definitely tell you that she really regrets it. She really wants to return to Beijing immediately, sit at home and wait for Li Qiba to carry the sedan to marry her, and be Li Qi's wife with peace of mind.
wife.
However, she did not allow herself to do this. She still remembered what she said to Li Qi before coming here. Now Hangzhou is still in a mess. Not only has there been no improvement, the situation has become worse. If she goes back now, she will always be in trouble.
Don't start.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Bai Qiannuo's longing for Li Qi.
Bai Qiannuo wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief and said, "Who?"
"Qiniang, it's me."
Zheng Yi's voice came from outside.
"Oh, it's Brother Zheng, wait a moment."
Bai Qiannuo took two deep breaths in succession, stepped forward, and opened the door.
Zheng Yi said anxiously: "Qiniang, I heard that there was a letter from the capital - Eh? Are you crying? Did something happen?"
Bai Qiannuo shook her head hastily, but did not deny it, saying: "I just feel a little homesick. Second brother, please come in first."
When Zheng Yi heard this, he understood. He knew that Qiniang must have read Li Qi's letter, and he couldn't bear it. After all, no matter how strong Bai Qiannuo was, she was still a woman. It was too unfair for her to bear all this.
You must know that even a grown man like him was almost driven crazy by the current situation.
"Imperial decree?"
As soon as Zheng Yigang entered the room, he suddenly saw an imperial edict on the table. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why didn't I hear that an edict had arrived?"
Ah! I forgot to put it away. Bai Qiannuo suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched the imperial edict from Zheng Yi. He blushed and said: "Second brother, this---this imperial edict is only related to me personally. Don't do it.
For other things, please read the letter."
Zheng Yi was confused when he heard this and said: "Is it just about you personally?"
Bai Qiannuo said shyly: "Second brother, please stop asking. This imperial edict is really about my personal affairs and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Zheng Yi became more and more confused as he listened, but seeing her expression, he didn't force it. He nodded slightly, picked up the letter and read it. But as soon as he read the beginning, he chuckled and said: "I understand, Mrs. Ruoshui.
"In my heart, I admire Li Qi's methods very much.
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it turned out that Li Qi also mentioned the content of the imperial edict in the letter. Because the situation was urgent at the time, Li Qi didn't care so much and just wrote whatever came to his mind.
There were no separate clothes. Bai Qiannuo smiled. He stretched out his hand and said, "Second brother, can you stop looking at this first picture?"
Zheng Yi is a true gentleman and has no intention of looking at others. He handed the first piece of letter paper to Bai Qiannuo. Bai Qiannuo quickly took it and held it carefully in the palm of his hand, like a peerless treasure.
Zheng Yi smiled softly and read the letter seriously, but the more he looked at the back, the more solemn his face became, and his eyes were full of depression.
After a while, he finally put down the letter. He smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a big commotion in the capital. Alas, in fact, when I heard Qin Xuezheng's killing method, I had already expected that this would happen. Self
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this is the first time that the army has been used to deal with officials. But I didn't expect that the economic envoy would use this method to kill the officials. Qiniang, they fought happily, but we are caught in the middle.
It’s hard to be a human being.”
Bai Qiannuo curled her lips and said: "I'm not caught in the middle. I'm definitely on Brother Li's side. The Zheng family also leans on Brother Li. Don't worry, Brother Li won't mess around. At least
There will be no distinction between friend and foe."
This is the love-blinding skill!
Zheng Yi laughed and said: "That is indeed the case now, but it is not certain who will win in this battle. If the economy wins, then everything is easy to say. If he loses, our Zheng family will definitely stand on his opposite side."
, I believe that you, the Bai family, are all the same."
His words are not alarmist. The Zheng family and the Song family are both big families in the Song Dynasty. In their eyes, they only have family interests. It is absolutely impossible for the entire family to be involved because of one Li Qi. If Li Qi loses, then they
He will leave Li Qi alone without mercy, and may even step on him.
Bai Qiannuo also understood this, and there was a flash of worry in his eyes, but it passed quickly, and then he said firmly: "Brother will never lose. Apart from playing mahjong, I have never seen my eldest brother lose to anyone.
Big Brother has earned all this with great difficulty, and since he is confident of letting it go, he must be confident that he can take it back."
"I hope so."
Zheng Yi would not stupidly argue with a woman who was deeply in love. He said seriously: "But our situation is very bad now. Qin Xuezheng must have been imprisoned now, and it is impossible to come to Hangzhou now.
We also have to gather together, but you don’t know that just now those officials blatantly asked me for the money Qin Hui sent me.”
Now that Qin Hui has been laid off, the stolen money seized by him cannot be used by him.
Bai Qiannuo Dai frowned and said: "That money must not be given to them. Now the currency crisis in Hangzhou has intensified. The market is full of goods, but it is hard to find a coin. Qin Xuezheng said earlier that there is a way to use the money to solve this problem.
currency crisis, so we can’t hand over the money no matter what.”
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "I understand this, but now that the new law has been completely stopped, our power has been greatly weakened, and those people don't need to look at our faces. I don't think we can last long."
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "Second brother, you don't have to worry. Didn't the eldest brother say in his letter that if we follow his instructions, those people will have to admit defeat in less than two months."
Zheng Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I guess, after all, this is something that cannot be accomplished by one person."
Bai Qiannuo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Maybe there is someone who can help us."
Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment, and the two of them said in unison: "Excuse me, Mr. Cai."
...
Bianjing.
In the few days after Li Qi took office, everyone still couldn't believe it. They all thought it was some trick played by Li Qi. Even the scholar-bureaucrats did not dare to get too carried away and were always on guard against Li Qi's counterattack. After all, Li Qi's counterattack
Qi has staged too many comebacks.
However, it has been a month now. Li Qi has been hiding in the Qin Mansion, not even daring to show his face. Even Zhou Qing, Hong Bajin and others can't see him, and Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others can't even see him.
Not only that, the new law was declared dead with Li Qi's appointment, and the channel from officials to businessmen was also terminated. Even Li Qi's title of deputy general manager of the imperial kitchen was removed.
All signs indicate that Li Qi has followed in Wang Fu's footsteps and completely lost power.
At this time, those conservative scholar-bureaucrats began to celebrate, and finally drove Li Qi out of the government and the opposition. The only thing that made them regretful was that Li Qi's party members were too fierce. Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Bai Shizhong, these three
But they all have strong strength. Rather than saying that they are Li Qi's party members, it is better to say that Li Qi is their party members. However, like Yue Fei and the others do not have much power, and with Brother Qiu covering them, they have no need. In order to
These little sparrows are in trouble with Gao Qiu.
However, you have to find a few people to vent your anger, otherwise it will be too boring. Therefore, Wang Zhongling has become the target of everyone's attack. After all, Li Qi is now living in his daughter's house. If you don't look for him, who should you look for?
In less than a month, Wang Zhongling was demoted three levels in a row and transferred to the Ministry of Justice as a clerk. Angry, Wang Zhongling rushed to the Qin Mansion and prepared to fight Li Qi. Fortunately, Mrs. Qin stood in the middle and Li Qi was spared.
Then he moved to his manor overnight. Fortunately, his beer has been improved. Currently, there are only two flavors. But once it is released and the response is good, he will continue to launch various flavors of beer. Steady, after all, he
Never take things so absolutely in business.
In fact, beer is just one product of his long vacation. He is also planning to launch dairy products and biscuits, especially milk powder series, which is his most important product.
But he didn't rush to do it. He had to take a breath before hanging himself, and he heard that it was very lively outside now, so it was time to go out for a walk, otherwise business allies like Zhou Qing, Fan Shaobai, and Hong Bajin would have to be killed.
He was anxious to death.
Since he was going out to explore, a restaurant was undoubtedly the best choice, so Zuixianju naturally became Li Qi's first stop.
Li Qi took Mrs. Qin's carriage to Zuixianju, secretly got out of the car, hid in the door beam and looked inside, but the scene in front of him was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that he had lost power, so Zuixian
Juju's business must have plummeted, but I never expected that the place was so lively and packed with seats.
Good guy, you are so loyal. Huh? No, why are they all those talented people? Where are my regular patrons? Before Li Qi could be moved, he took a closer look and saw that they were all members of Song Yuchen’s party.
They were talking eloquently, and what they said was beautiful, but it was not very realistic and suited their age.
Li Qi was stunned for a while, and then he understood. These talented people must be waiting here to laugh at me. They have really good intentions. That's all, that's all. If I'm afraid of you, I'll take a detour to the backyard head office.
Just as Li Qi was about to leave, he suddenly heard a very harsh voice next to him, "Ouch, ouch, look who this is?"
I really forgot about it. I met this idiot on my first day out. Li Qi turned around and looked at the fat man with a big belly in front of him with a smile. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Hey, bitch brother, long time no see. It's been a while."
good?"
The person who came was none other than Zou Zijian.
Zou Zijian laughed and said: "I asked the economic envoy to take care of you. Zijian did a great job. Oops, I almost forgot that you were appointed by the emperor not long ago. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. I should call you Master Li now."
You fat man, you are so hypocritical. Li Qi chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I prefer the title of Master Li to the Economic Envoy."
Zou Zijian smiled and said: "By the way, Master Li, what were you doing hiding outside this door just now? Could it be that you were stimulated by something and didn't even recognize your own shop?" He said and suddenly shouted inside: "Everyone. Come out quickly and see who is coming."
You md are too naive. Li Qi secretly sighed in his heart, a small character like Zou Zijian really couldn't arouse his interest, but it is undeniable that this little character is annoying, and he silently moved the Zou family in his heart. Draw a pair of shackles.(To be continued...)
