"Li Shanneng has a higher status than this official? Hehe......" Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders, quite disdainful.

Cui Xiufang raised her white neck and argued: "The slave family didn't say big things, isn't your Cui County Commander a six-grade official?" Hmph, it's not like Li Shan hasn't been a person. Listen to me tell you about Li Shanqi, save you from being lonely and unheard! ”

Immediately, she told Li Shan's origin.

Li Shan, 46 years old this year, is a native of Yangzhou. Knowledge runs through the ancient and modern, and has the reputation of "book book" (that is, book box).

At the age of eighteen, he was appointed as a direct bachelor of Chongxian Pavilion and a waiter of King Pei.

Three years later, he was transferred to the Luwang Mansion Office to join the army and was awarded the Jingcheng Order. Jingcheng is also a county, with six official ranks.

Later, because of his friendship with Helan Min, he was personally ordered to be dismissed by Wu Zetian and returned to Yangzhou City.

Since then. Li Shan's ostensible identity is a teaching gentleman.

It is recognized by the world that Li Shan's annotated "Anthology" is the first in the world, and thousands of students come to study every year.

In the past 20 years, there are more than 10,000 students who identify themselves as him.

Among them, there are more than a dozen Jinshi and first, and the highest three are now in the fourth rank, and there are hundreds of middle and lower-level officials in the imperial court.

It is precisely because of this that although Li Shan fell quite behind in the struggle with Li Jingmen, he was able to maintain it.

……

After Cui Geng listened, he pondered carefully, and his face became a little embarrassed - this Li Shan's identity is only higher than his own? But Nima threw off a dozen streets, okay?

Li Shan once served as King Pei's attendant and King Lu's secretary to join the army, both of whom were princes of the imperial court, and the princes of the Li Tang royal family!

These two are different from King Anping, the son of a martial artist like Wu Youxu, and the gold content is not at the same level.

Helan Minzhi was even more unaware, he was originally ordered by Wu Zetian to succeed Wushi Tong as his grandson. If he hadn't been too dead, there would have been nothing to do with Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi now.

If it weren't for Helan Minzhi's involvement and being dismissed by Wu Zetian, Li Shan's current official position of more than three grades would be a sure thing.

Even if he is down-and-out now, just by the reputation of those disciples and the great Confucians in the world, who will comment, Li Shan's identity is much more expensive than his own Liupin County Lingjin.

Chun Yuliang slapped his head even more and said, "I remember, isn't Mr. Li Yuanshan's original name Li Shan?" But...... Isn't he a great Confucian in the world? How did you become a thief? Little lady Cui, are you mistaken? ”

"You can't be wrong, Li Shan, the word is far away." Cui Xiufang explained: "In fact, the Li family has been a big thief in Yangzhou City for several generations, if there is a thief who commits a crime in Yangzhou City, he must give the Li family a beat, and Li Shan is just inheriting the ancestral business." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Geng suddenly remembered something and said, "When you smuggled fresh fish into the city that day, did you have to give the Li family a lead?" ”

"Me? Not really. Cui Xiufang shook her head slowly and said, "The concubine's net worth is quite related to the Li family, and he doesn't dare to be disrespectful to the concubine." ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cui Geng hurriedly asked a question that had been haunting his heart for a long time, and said, "Xiufang, what is your identity?" Why is his kung fu so good, and he still knows a big guy who sits on the ground and shares the spoils? ”

"I ......"

Cui Xiufang's eyes flickered slightly, and she bowed her head slightly and said, "Concubine...... The concubine doesn't want to disgrace the ancestors, so it's better not to talk about this identity. However, the concubine can guarantee that what she just said is true, Li Shan and the concubine are quite related, and they will never harm my life-saving benefactor. ”

As for whether Li Shan is reliable, Cui Geng has no objection. Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, before the common enemy Meng Shenshuang falls, this person should be able to be trusted.

In addition, Li Shannai is a great Confucian in the world, and being good friends with him is not an insult to his identity. Even if Li Shanzhen is caught in the future, he can completely shirk ignorance.

So the two sides agreed that Cui Geng would personally visit Li Shan three days later.

As for Chun Yuliang, he was temporarily placed in Jiangdu County. This is pure and good, and he has a strange temper, in the struggle with Meng Shenshuang, Cui Geng doesn't think he can help much. He is more interested in the craftsmanship of the other party's hat-making.

Even if what he is good at making is not the popular Yangzhou felt hat in later generations, there must be a vision, and it is not difficult for him to take the lead in getting Yangzhou felt hat.

The next day, he repaired a book and went to Quanzhou, so that Lin and Zhang and the two families hurriedly sent someone to open a hat workshop.

As for the reason for persuading Chun Yuliang, it is also very simple, he told Chun Yuliang that if he wants to defeat Lijingmen and kill Meng Shenshuang, he must be psychologically prepared to hold ~ a long-term war of attrition. Since it is a long-lasting ~ long-lasting war of attrition, there must be enough money to support it.

And you can't do it well, you can only give full play to your strengths and contribute to everyone's cooperation.

Soon, Chun Yuliang naturally accepted Cui Geng's proposal to take charge of the specific matters of the felt hat workshop.

As for Cui Geng's promise to him, in the hat workshop jointly opened by Zhang, Lin, and Cui, he would give him a dry share. Chun Yuliang was not excited, let alone postponed, but accepted it lightly.

In Cui Geng's view, perhaps the biggest long-cherished wish in his conscience is not how much silver he can earn through the hat workshop. Instead, he was bent on how to bring down Lijingmen as soon as possible, kill Meng Shenshuang, and avenge his deceased wife. Finally, restore the family business, pick up your son who was temporarily stationed in Dayun Temple as a monk, and reunite with the lay father and son.

……

……

Three days later, it was time to pay an official visit to Li Shan.

Cui Geng traveled in casual clothes, and under the guidance of Cui Xiufang, he came to Yulanfang, Yangzhou City, in front of the gate of the Li family.

handed over the name thorn and reported it in, and after a while, the door of the Li Mansion was wide open.

A man with a thin figure and an elegant face greeted him with a group of servants, and said respectfully: "Grass people Li Shan see ......."

Li Shan is not an ordinary grass people, Cui Geng can't let people really kneel down to greet him, right? He hurriedly put his hand in hand, wanting to make the other party a false support.

"Huh?"

It stands to reason that after all, Li Shan has an identity and a background, and he also has a family background, so he should be a false shelf and a pretense. Then Cui Gengwei helped, and Li Shan should rise up, this is the normal procedure.

But the strange thing is that as soon as Cui Geng touched someone's arm, he felt that his hands sank, and he didn't hold Li Shan.

Poof!

Li Shan landed on his knees and continued respectfully: "The grass people visit Cui County's order. ”

Cui Geng hurriedly staggered a step and said, "Mr. Li, please hurry up, Cui doesn't dare to give you such a big gift!" ”

Li Shan didn't get up, and said meaningfully: "Where, with what Cui County Order's doing, he is completely worthy of it!" ”

After that, he kowtowed three times in a row.

Although it does not bleed on the forehead, it is also loud, which shows sincerity.

Cui Geng was suddenly surprised in his heart, as for this? Don't say that you Li Shannai is a great Confucian in the world, and the origin is deep, even if an ordinary person sees me, a county parent official, it is not such a kowtow method?

You must know that Li Shan, because of his identity as a great Confucian in the world, there are still many students who served in the court or in various state capitals, if the scene in front of him is spread out, it may be said that he Cui Erlang does not know the height of the sky, does not know the rules of etiquette and law, and bullies the current Confucian with the identity of Jiangdu's parents and officials!

It's very offensive, okay?

He hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Li, let's not play like this, you are going to roast this official on the fire!" ”

"No! Less! ”

Li Shan got up slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "This place is not a place to speak, and I also ask Cui County to enter to serve tea." If there's anything you'd like to ask, let's talk about it slowly when we get inside. ”

"Mr. Li, please."

"Cui County's order, please."

The Li family occupies a wide area, and Cui Geng followed Li Shan around the house and walked for half an hour before coming to the flower hall of the back house.

After the guest and host sat down, without waiting for Cui Geng to ask questions, Li Shan had already said straight to the point: "Cui County Order doesn't have to worry, with your current reputation, you are worthy of a worship by Li!" ”

"The prestige of the county?"

"Exactly. Cui County's order skillfully decided the unjust case, moved the heavens and the earth, resolved the disaster in Yangzhou, and countless people were alive. Now many people in Yangzhou are hanging your immortal tablets in their homes! ”

Cui Geng's face flushed, and he said: "Zi Bu is strange and confused, with Mr. Li's knowledge, do you really believe this?" ”

"Of course the old man doesn't believe it. However, the people of Yangzhou believe that it is okay? In addition......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Shan's mouth curled slightly: "It may be a coincidence that Ganlin fell from the sky, but in the matter of the slaughter ban, there is always a factor of Cui County's order, right?" Isn't this alone worth the old man's worship? ”

Wu Youxu ordered people to post articles all over the place to clarify Cui Geng's good reputation, and the discerning people knew at a glance that it was to resolve the disaster.

It is not surprising that Li Shan can guess that Cui Geng plays a role in it.

Cui Geng bowed slightly, and said: "Cui did play a little role, but the main thing is ......"

"Cui County's order doesn't need to be explained, it's tacit!"

Li Shan smiled and interrupted: "Actually, whether you are a Buddha or not, the old man doesn't care much, what he said just now was for ordinary people." In fact, the old man's worship is still because she ......"
