"Then Li Shi, I have a deep friendship with you?"

In Xiamen in September, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the Fujian Navy Admiral Yamen, Shi Shibiao looked at the sky with his eyes and asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Mark him for his great favor, and serve as a brother!"

Xiao Sheng's answer did not hesitate, the boss knew everything about this matter, and there was nothing to hide.

"You should know what happened recently, how do you feel?"

Shi Shibiao moved his gaze down, squinted and continued to ask. This Xiao Sheng was brought over by him from Guangdong, and he wanted to get it directly to the standard camp, but he was blocked by the military department, and it is estimated that the secret training of "not letting Shi Jiaguang form a party henchman" was working, and finally went to the Fujian Security Association. He has nothing to complain about this, Kangxi can let his Shi family spread the fields in Taiwan and encroach on the Zheng family's remaining power, which is already very tolerant. If he didn't take such precautions, he would have muttered to himself.

I had heard it before, and with the pair of Di newspapers I received recently, Shi Shibi also knew what Li Shi did in Guangdong, and he was shocked and excited. There are not many available troops in Guangdong, and if you really want to start the beacon smoke, this road in Fujian, he still has to be of great use to the sailors. The entire transfer of Nanao Town to his Fujian Navy Division is a very clear signal. I can't be promoted, but my relatives always have a chance.

Once something happens, you have to rely on the brave generals to support the scene, except for the descendants of the Lan family, this Xiao Sheng is also a one. Thinking that Xiao Sheng also came out of Yingde at the beginning, and he was very related to Li Shi, and he asked for leave to return to Guangdong "provincial relatives" before, Shi Shibiao invited him to come to Xiamen first, in addition to asking about the inside situation, but also with the intention of seeing if Xiao Sheng could use it.

"I don't know what to do, but there is a military order, and everything is followed!"

Xiao Sheng replied in a daze, but his heart was churning, since Jia Hao returned to Guangdong with the Golden Carp, he already had a feeling that his fourth brother, who had great magical powers, finally reached the ceiling of the official mansion and went straight to the court.

How do he deal with himself, he is still at a loss in his heart, and asks himself with a heart of loyalty, he can't be attached to Li Shi, but he can't ignore his previous kindness and go straight to Li Shi. If he can, he just wants to shrink in Taiwan honestly, Li Shi is going to have an accident, and then like he did when he saved Yan Sanniang, find a way to ensure that Li Shi is well-worthy, act like Guan Erye, and seek both love and righteousness, which is his Xiao Sheng's education since childhood.

This seems to be thinking far away, after all, his fourth brother did not rebel, and I heard that he was promoted to the magistrate. And...... Xiao Sheng faintly felt that even if it was the imperial court, it might not be able to do anything with Li Shi.

Shi Shibiao asked him what he thought, Xiao Sheng could only be perfunctory, and at the same time expressed his intentions, I, Xiao Sheng, am loyal to the court and loyal to your Shi Junmen.

"Dedicated to duty, not asking about foreign affairs, good, good!"

Shi Shibiao nodded in praise.

"Go yourself, it will be of great use when you come back."

Shi Shibiu's encouragement, Xiao Sheng felt even heavier in his heart.

Returning to the port and getting on a large fast boat, Liang Deguang looked at it with a worried face, and before he asked, Xiao Sheng shook his hand and said, "It's nothing." ”

Looking up at the clear sky, Xiao Sheng Shuhuai chuckled: "The fourth brother marries the fourth sister-in-law, and he marries three in one go, how can we get happy, go!" ”

The sea breeze swept away the depression in his heart, Xiao Sheng said in his heart, whether it is against it or not, Li Xi is also his fourth brother, and he can't forget his roots.

Guangzhou City, the governor of the Yamen, Tang You once didn't care about the wind and dust, so he summoned the new political envoy Tong Fahai and the new envoy Shi Yizhi to discuss the plan together.

"We are the mainstay sent by the emperor to Guangdong, and when necessary, we will also serve as an iron embankment to block the tide. This constitution has already been effective in the heart of Zhu Fan, so I don't know if you are ready for this. ”

Tang You once set the tone for this team first, Yang Lin is the last skin to maintain Guangdong's face, Guan Yuanzhong is the last card to protect Guangdong, and he and these people are the knives that actually act, and when necessary, they must also be sacrificed. The "Zhu Fan" that Tang You once mentioned is Zhu Guozhi and Fan Chengmo, who died during the rebellion of the three feudatories.

Tong Fahai and Shi Yi bowed their hands solemnly, and both said: "Dare not advance and retreat with Xiantai, and live and die together." ”

Tang Youzeng nodded: "This Li Shi is extremely powerful, and he is hidden under the skin of the imperial court. Fortunately, there is an internal line in this constitution, and you can communicate with it. The official situation is handled by this constitution, and the two important matters are to settle the face of the imperial court and stabilize the officialdom of Guangdong. ”

was discussing how to act, and the family brought in a four-rank official, but it was the new Guangzhou prefect Martai, holding a post in his hand, and his expression was very trance.

"That Li Xian...... I sent a wedding card to the lower officials, and I also wanted the lower officials to distribute it to all the adults, this matter ...... I don't know what to do. ”

Na Maltai handed over a stack of big red wedding cards, Tang You looked at it, not only did his hands tremble, but his face suddenly turned as red as a post.

"Really...... How unreasonable! ”

Tong Fahai saw it, but he slapped the table repeatedly.

Shi Yizhi was extremely surprised, why is this?

Flipping through the post, a few lines of words caught my eye, "The little brother welcomes the entry of Jiao Niang, which coincides with the arrival of all the officials in Guangdong, dare not to disperse the joy and smell?" Waiting for you in Yingde, a certain month and a certain auspicious time, Wan Wang is present, and the congratulatory gift can be according to the previous Zhao Zhengtai standard, do not be extravagant, do not float. ”

One breath slammed into Shi Yizhi's chest, making his lips tremble, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

This Li Xi is really domineering to the extreme! When he married himself, he not only wanted a provincial official to congratulate him, but also deliberately reminded him that the congratulatory gift could be compared to the rank of the governor, not too extravagant...... The governor has the highest rank in Guangdong, and this is to make them all claim to be subordinates, and their intentions are sinister!

Tong Fahai grabbed the post and was about to tear it up: "I waited to come to Guangdong to deal with this thief, how can I be so insulted by him!" ”

Before they could do anything, Tang Shi and the others said don't move.

"It's a temptation! It depends on what kind of road we have! If you tear your face like this, what will you do next? ”

Tang You once secretly hated that this Li Xi had a relationship with him earlier, and he didn't even give himself this kind of affection?

"Xiantai is right, we have to think long-term!"

Although Shi Yizhi also wanted to tear his claws, this seemed to be contrary to the original intention of the imperial court to send him to Guangdong.

"We can't go in person, otherwise the face of the court will really fall."

Tang You once said this, everyone nodded, although he was a secret enemy of the imperial court, but after all, this Li Shi only had the bright identity of a magistrate, and all the officials went to celebrate, and it was too much to flatter the enemy.

"But someone still has to go, otherwise Li Shi will probably jump around when he sees us so strong-necked......"

Tang Youzeng said as he glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the Guangzhou prefect in front of him. Maltai's eyes were round, and he wanted to go!? I heard that Li Shi is a murderous lord, Wang Wenxiong, the governor of Guangdong, with a bid of 5,000, was killed cleanly, and his newly baked Guangzhou prefect sent it to the door, what happened, the court may have to pinch his nose and admit it...... "Ma Fu is his official, and it is appropriate to congratulate him on his happy event on our behalf." ”

As soon as Tang You said, Tong Shi and the others nodded hurriedly, and Martai's knees suddenly weakened.

"As for the congratulatory gifts...... What was the standard of Zhao Zhengtai before? ”

Shi Yizhi asked with some concern, he is a new breeze on his sleeves, and it is very troublesome to take out the silver.

"Oh, I asked when the lower officials came, there are two thousand state and county officials, five thousand provincial officials, and you should be 10,000 ...... of this grade."

Maltai hurriedly replied, and then saw that the three Shangguan looked almost fainting.

"One...... Ten thousand!? ”

Tong Fahai asked with starry eyes, while Shi Yizhi was black.

"This ...... How can he claim to be the ruler of the platform! Isn't there still Yang Lin here! Let's just compare it with ordinary guests, send three or five hundred taels, just wipe your face! ”

Tang You has been a Beijing official for many years, and he has just released the governor, so naturally he can't take out so much silver, so he will simply break the jar and break it, as for whether it will damage the face of the court, he can't care anymore.

"Yang Zhitai has sealed the gift, and asked the master to congratulate ......"

Maltai whispered, looking down and couldn't bear to look at the miserable situation of the three officials.

The three of them were all burned, and Yang Lin all saluted, they didn't follow, and their posture against Li Shi was too obvious. Especially Tang Youzeng, he still wants to communicate with his "insider", if he can't even maintain the minimum relationship, I'm afraid it will be difficult to act in the future.

10,000 taels...... The three of them are almost poor, and they can't figure it out.

When he was hesitating, Maltai said that if it was really not possible, he could find someone to borrow money, such as a local businessman. The three of them were overjoyed, why didn't they expect it, they were officials, and they found a businessman at random and asked him to pay, it was estimated that the businessman was too late to be happy, and this was a chance to give him a chance to tie himself up.

So the matter was left to Martai to go to Zhang Luo, and they continued to discuss how to deal with Li Xi. After this incident, I realized more and more of Li Shi's domineering, and all kinds of ideas were thrown out, but in the end they were denied one by one. Whether it was secretly arrested, or openly arrested, or directly smashed into the old nest, or even went to Qingpu and Yingciyuan to get Li Shi's associates, etc., Yinzhen and local officials in Guangdong had all done it before, the result...... Obviously, Prince Yong became a Beizi, Zhao Hongcan returned to Beijing to retire, Wang Wenxiong died, and there was a rebellion in Guangzhou, with thousands of officers and soldiers killed and wounded.

"Li Xi is around...... There is an inner line, but it is inconvenient to act, and it would be good to be able to send another inner line in. ”

Tang You once thought so.

"It's good to start with other people around him, but it's not clear what happened to him right now."

Tong Fahai thought about his opponent like this with his real surname.

"Tell everyone with great righteousness, say that the people with lofty ideals will be moved, and he will be tied up into the official mansion!"

Shi Yi was angry.

After discussing it all day, the next day it was being discussed**, and Maltai came again, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, as if he had been slapped several times.

"That'...... Those businessmen said that they had already paid money to the Cantonese Merchants' Association, and that if the government asked for money, they would just go straight to the Cantonese Merchants' Association. ”

Tang You was surprised, this Cantonese businessman will always be ......" behind it is the Li ......

Maltai cried with a sad face, Tang Tong and the others were also pale, and only then did they faintly feel the power of Li Shi, the merchants of Guangzhou City, they could actually rely on Li Shi and ignore their provincial officials?

"However, the Sanjiang Ticket Bank said that as long as it is collateralized by the silver allocated by the government, it can borrow money."

Maltai was dutiful, found a solution, and waited for the three to make a decision.

"Absolutely not! How can we wait for the imperial court officials to mortgage the money and grain of the government! ”

Tang You once vetoed it with his sleeves.

"But this matter should also be a public matter, if we go straight to the first to move money and food to help the emergency, and explain this matter to the emperor afterwards, it should be able to be sold."

Tong Fahai is a political envoy, and if he takes the initiative to speak, this can be done.

The three of them were silent for a long time, although they felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't help it, and finally Tang Youzeng nodded helplessly.

A day later, looking at those few bills of exchange from the Sanjiang Ticket Bank, Tang You was so angry that he almost vomited blood, it turned out that the money and grain they moved were still exchanged by the Sanjiang Ticket Bank, what is the difference between borrowing money from the Sanjiang Ticket Bank before!?

"We were hit by this Li Shi, he is good, but he waited for us to go to the post before marrying."

Helplessly sealed the bill of exchange, the three of them looked at each other, and Tang You said hatefully.

When Li Shi wants to hear this, he will definitely say very unceremoniously, wait until you come to Guangdong to marry, this is already giving you a lot of face, I didn't see my Sanniang, I was already so panicked that I couldn't knock on the wooden fish every day to remind him that the girl was already twenty years old!
