Chapter 1867, Sister Hong

These mercenaries, in fact, as long as they don’t deal with the court, it’s better not to deal with them. They don’t want to be bound by so many rules, but now there is no other way, they can only wait honestly. When the yamen servants came, they all complained that Li Cong was a little too impulsive, but their thoughts disappeared in a flash. For the sake of brothers, such things have to be done, otherwise we Just leave here, there is nothing good here, why should we stay here, at worst, we will go to another empire if we leave a record, anyway, if you have the ability, you don’t need to look at anyone here It's just that Li Cong doesn't think so, you offended my brother today, this matter can't be ignored, you have to let you know how powerful you are, otherwise you will have to suffer a little bit sooner or later. m.

People from the government went to report the case, and the court servants came much faster than usual. Usually, they definitely don't have this speed. Asking them to come here once can almost kill them, but It’s different now. The ones running one by one are afraid that something will happen if they are slow. The Supervising Battalion is not something they can offend. The Supervising Battalion is the Governor’s personal guard, and this is a county town. , a person in charge in the governor's mansion is almost the same as the city lord here, how dare they be negligent, if they are ordinary people after they come here, they will be beaten up, it's a pity that the people here are all mercenaries It can be seen that these people are not so easy to provoke. You have to be careful when dealing with these people. You can't do this to the common people. If you provoke these uncles, your life may be killed It can't be kept, and it depends on the situation to curry favor with the boss.

"It's these boys who ran into the uncle here. You all arrest these guys. I want to see how brave they are. Don't think that you can turn the world upside down just because you have some skills. You guys also Don't take a pee and look at yourself, dare to stab me, and don't look at who I am, the governor of the province Harman, that's my uncle, you are nothing, my father Your skills are not as good as yours. But as long as you live here, each of you has to obey the law for me. Aren’t you very good just now, why can’t you do it now? What are you talking about? ? You ask them if this old man’s waist card is fake.” The guy said arrogantly, Li Cong shook his head helplessly, this kind of thing is really too low, if the few of them are swollen and swollen The fat man should have run away now, and we didn't leave, which shows that we are not afraid of trouble.

"Several people. Take a step to talk." The yamen servant didn't do what this guy said, he came up and took people, and let the deputy leader go over to appease that guy, and then he was going to have a good talk with Li Cong and the others. They have also encountered this matter many times. The relatives of the officials all feel that they are the emperor's grandson, of course they cannot be the same as ordinary people, but these capable people are not so easy to bow their heads one by one. There were a lot of things like this in the past. At that time, it was usually enough to make these mercenaries bow their heads. As long as they admitted their mistakes a little, it was basically enough. Today, this guy also planned to do so. Fortunately, Li Cong and these people were not unreasonable, so he followed this guy to another private room with no guests. Li Cong was a little curious at the moment, what kind of Sister Hong's lady boss is, why did such a thing happen and she didn't come out.

"What can this official tell us?" Hong Zhan had also heard a lot about these things. If he really went to the Yamen, this matter would not be so simple. In the end, the mercenaries would suffer more. Who said this is in the city, as long as they can't fight it. It can only be the last number. Anyway, sooner or later you have to admit defeat. It’s better to just admit defeat now. Even if there are any sequelae, you don’t need to think about it. It’s the same to bow your head early and late. It’s possible to admit your mistakes earlier. There will be even less losses, so Hong Zhan's tone is also very kind.

"Hehe, you are all strong people. I dare not point out this. I am an ordinary person, and this is in the city. If I am not in the city, I guess a few of you can kill hundreds of people like me. "This guy said with a smile. His words made Li Conggao take a look at this guy. This guy can use himself to belittle himself to elevate others. Half of such people are personalities, and they seem to be considered talents. Since you are a talent, you should make the most of what you have, and you can't waste your own resources in such a position. My subordinates need such eloquent people, so here they are, very good, not bad.

"The official is joking. We are all people who understand the law. How can we know the law and break the law? To be honest, don't look at us dressed as mercenaries. In fact, we rarely kill people." Li Cong said with a smile, His words almost made everyone angry. Damn, you rarely kill people? You rarely kill a person right.

"Yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue just now. You have all seen this matter. It is indeed not something we can accommodate. If people in our own city are easy to talk about, but the masters here are all People in the Governor's Mansion, the people in charge of the Governor's Mansion are better than our city lord. Who in Jiangning City dare not follow the governor's will? Even in our entire province, there is no such thing. You'd better I can say good things when I go out for a while. In fact, it doesn’t cost much money. It’s just a meal. Let’s talk about it from the side. This matter is basically settled, and I understand what it is. The proprietress here has caused a lot of trouble, you are not worth it for a woman." This guy saw Li Tie's eyes changed a little and hurriedly stopped talking, but Li Tie would not be as knowledgeable as him, after all, at this moment I'm still helping myself. In fact, this guy is also shouting in his heart. I'm not helping you. In fact, I'm helping myself. I can't afford to offend the people on both sides of you. I can only make this matter It’s only okay if it’s resolved, otherwise I’ll be at a disadvantage and end up at my grandma’s house, and it’s no wonder you don’t eat me up one by one, the little people will have such sorrows.

"Hmph, tell us to admit our mistakes. They are obviously the ones who made mistakes first. It has nothing to do with us. We eat our food well, and these guys bark at us one by one when they come in." Li Tie was not convinced. Said. He always felt like he owed his brothers. After all, this matter was because of him. After a while, this guy said, "You all go away. I can't involve brothers in this matter. I made it up by myself. It's gone." Li Tie is definitely a man, and he doesn't want to bow his head. But it was also obvious that Hong Zhan and the others wanted to bow their heads. So let the brothers go first.

"Hehe, I was the one who was talking just now. Do you think that narrow-minded guy can let me go if I leave? Old Hong, I think it's better for you guys not to get involved here. You all have families. People, even if we don’t think about ourselves, we are all brothers, we all understand that you are not that kind of people, so there is no need to sacrifice here. Brother Tie and I are still here, I want to Let's see what that guy is capable of." Li Cong said with his legs crossed, he didn't pay attention to the guy opposite at all, such a person can't catch them in the corner of his eyes, but he can make some troubles from this matter That would be different, this guy Harman sent people over to pay his respects at the beginning, but now he has extended his claws into Jiangning City. Everyone knows that there are more than a dozen counties in this southern province, but the other dozen counties combined are not as rich as Jiangning City. Thinking of this, Li Cong looked at the yamen servant.

"This is for you." Li Cong said, taking out twenty taels of silver ingots. There are not many of them. Immediately, I liked Li Cong a lot. This master's shot was really good. Others also looked at Li Cong in a daze. What's going on? What's the use of giving this guy so much money? This guy is useless, he is just a microphone, other things are not very useful. It's useless to talk so much to such a guy, "You must know something, what are those guys doing in Jiangning City, I remember that there seems to be nothing that needs to be dispatched to the standard supervision battalion recently, right?" Li Cong said in one sentence. When asked about the point, the yamen servant looked at Li Cong in surprise. In his impression, these mercenaries were all brainless guys. Why would they lead such a thing now? Could this guy have any ideas? That's the governor, the biggest person in the whole province. Does he want to fight against the governor? Although he was only a small character, he also knew that some money could not be taken, and some words could not be said, so this guy pushed the money back.

"Hehe, don't be afraid. You have been here today, but you didn't say anything." Li Cong took out another 50 taels of silver and put it on the table. The guy saw that the 70 taels of silver had finally loosened, and everything would be fine. If there is a suitable price, if you don't get it, it means that the price you offered is not very suitable.

"Okay, today I'll just say it in this room. I don't recognize anything when I go out. These people come to us to distribute salaries. There are a total of more than 1,000 people in the governor's battalion. The governor said to They can't pay out the annual salary, and Jiangning City wants to watch out for the money, and the city lord can't get the money for a while, so let them rest here for a while." The guy said in a low voice, and the others They were also a little surprised, how could the governor be the leader of more than 100 million people, how could he not even get this little money, and a city lord of Jiangning City was required to pay this money, which is all It's kind of embarrassing.

"How much is the salary of more than a thousand people?" Li Cong took out another piece of gold weighing twelve taels. This guy looks at money rather than people.

"It's different according to the level, but on average, each person needs more than four hundred taels of silver, about hundreds of thousands of silver." Hundreds of thousands of silver are nothing to Li Cong, but to the city lord It's not a small amount. At this time, the purchasing power of silver is still very strong. The city lord will never use his own private money to subsidize this. The money must have a name, which must be the city lord. What kind of project gave this money, they will be here.

"Hehe, I have nothing to do with you. I'm from the Earl's Mansion. Don't worry. You just keep what's going on today a secret." Li Cong took out a waist card from his home and said, these things are very important for walking in the rivers and lakes In the past, Li never thought of turning the southern provinces into his own kingdom because the time was not enough. Now, with the help of that mysterious man, shouldn't he also get an actual official position? Absolutely can't be so angry. You can't just have a title, it's only temporary, didn't you see that the old guy Harman still put his hand in.

"Hehe, my lord is originally from the Earl's Mansion, so there is no need to be afraid, let alone, the people who dare not give them face within a thousand miles around us are the Earl's people. Although we people don't know these things very well, we also know that people in the Governor's Mansion come to pay his respects to the Sir every month. We know who is strong and who is weak." The guy said flatteringly, and quickly put himself Take out the silver and gold that have been collected. If the good guy even takes this money, he will die, and he can't do such a thing by himself.

"It doesn't matter, you still keep the money, but you can't wear the skin from now on." Li Cong said with a smile.

"Master, I beg you, my whole family is counting on this to live. There is an eighty-year-old mother in my family..."

"There are three or four-year-old children below, right? I can recite such words. Don't talk nonsense with me here. You are very measured in what you should do and what you should not do. How did you come to your own? Your body is messed up, do you think I can forget about it after you cry for a while? I am showing you a broad road, and I ask you. Now how much money do you have a month, including all your income. " Li Cong touched the silver on the table and said that other people didn't understand how Li Cong would do things like this, but Lao Liu has always been a brainy person, and he can't make mistakes in doing things.

"More than two hundred taels of silver..." the guy whispered, Li Cong was really frightened by this guy. Damn, this month's two silver yamen servants have hundreds of times as much gray income. Damn, it seems that there is no lack of corruption, but this kid's skills are definitely okay, and his shop is really lacking. Then a person who specializes in receiving big customers.

"Okay. I'll give you three hundred taels a month. Tomorrow I'll take this token to Cao's firm to report. Just go to Boss Cui and tell him, just tell the person who gave you this token." , you are going to study for a while, and ask him to arrange it for you, and you will be responsible for the big customers in the future." Li Cong said with a smile, this guy is also happy, it's like this, he has long been responsible for his career I am not very satisfied, this income is still acceptable, but this is done with my head down, there are too many people who are cursing themselves for nothing, I don’t want to be blacked out when I get old, so it’s better to change my brother’s job Okay, as for Cao's House, a young guy is very arrogant when he comes out, why? Who do they work for? It's a magician, a super magician.

"Lao Liu, what do you mean by this? Brothers are going to be confused." Hong Zhan and the others waited for this guy to go out before saying.

"Hehe, brothers and sisters, I have been introduced by my seniors, and recently I have a relationship with that very hot earl. Don't worry about the matter later, you just go up and order food for today's meal. Tiezi will pass away later, I still don’t believe this matter, someone has bullied our brother’s head, and today I will take care of Tiezi’s business together.” Li Cong said with a smile, and the people next to him They also looked at Li Tie with some malicious intentions. Li Tie wished that there would be a crack in the ground to get in. This old sixth lady is not a human being, so he said such things in a fair manner. Can such things be said at this time? .

"Okay, we are not those who do good things. Since you said today that you will take care of Tie Zi's business, we will go back to eat the white meat pot. We will call that sister Hong to these brothers later. Toast." Hong Zhan and the others went out one by one, all of them were single-celled animals, let them think about this and that, forget it, we don't have that kung fu, if we have that kung fu, we might as well go out and try How about the white meat pot here, the weather is not warm, and it feels a bit chilly at night, it feels really good to have a meal like this, but I am a little worried about who Li Tie is looking for .

Li Cong has some opinions about this Miss Hong who didn't show up. Since you already know that Li Tie had an accident in your shop, you should show up no matter what. Don't say you don't know what's going on here. Things, this is absolutely impossible, look at the servants have already come in, you say you don't know, is such a thing possible? We are not fools.

A few minutes later, the captain who was still very arrogant just now and his boss came in and looked at Li Cong one by one. They didn't know what to say, so they forgot. There is another force in Jiangning City that cannot be provoked, and that is the current Earl's Mansion, which is powerful enough. Besides, there is also the princess. If they offend the princess, those people will all It's an old man in the palace, and they will die here one by one if they smirk in front of the princess casually.

"My lord. I beg your lord to have a lot of mistakes. We are wrong. Please don't be as knowledgeable as us trash, and let us out as a fart." It was the same guy just now, with the same face, but a few minutes later this What the guy said is completely different. The arrogant guy just now seems to be lost for a while, but now the slave-like guy in front of him is all he can find. I really don’t know why people can change so quickly Yes, this guy is really a child.

"Fuck you, what did you say about me just now. I can't let you go this time." Li Tie kicked this guy as soon as he came up. He also knew that this was the time for Li Cong to vent his anger on him, but kicked After this kick, there was nothing else to do, so he just said that he went to drink with Hong Zhan and the others, and he didn't want to participate in the rest, and he didn't want to know what was going on.

"Hehe, my brother's temper is a bit hot. Your meal today is counted in my account. I asked you to come here because I have another matter for you to do. I don't know what you mean?" Li Cong said with a smile, but the sharp eyes still swept in front of these people one by one. These guys were also a little scared when they saw that look, such eyes were like beasts. My brothers are not prey, how can we look at us like this.

"No, it's because we went too far before, but don't worry, my lord, we will definitely know what we should do in the future." The guy said quickly, it seemed that he was scared out of his wits, and when he came, he The uncle of the old man told him that he was not allowed to have any contact with the Cao family. If he is found out, he will definitely be severely punished. To be honest, the relationship between the governor and himself is not as good as he said. His aunt is indeed the wife of the governor, but she is not the official wife, just a concubine. If this guy has some skills, how could he be so good, because his aunt is already thrown into limbo? Let’s forget it, it’s not that the governor saw this kid’s brain is not very good, so he asked this guy to be a pawn. If something happened, he would just push this guy out and kill his relatives himself.

"Okay, those things are all in the past. I don't want to pursue those old-fashioned things. That's not what men should do. Now I have something for you to do. You can say no." Li He said with a smile, but at this moment they all know that this is just a language statement. If they really say no, they will probably be killed immediately.

"Hehe, why say no, it's our blessing to be able to serve the adults, the blessings we cultivated in our previous life, otherwise, how could such a thing come to our heads." The guy said with a smile, Although I know that the things that people like Li Cong asked me to do will definitely not be that simple, but now I don’t have so much time to think about those things. Without even thinking about it, I agreed.

"Very well, now when you go back, lock yourself in your inn. I didn't tell you to rest. Please tell me clearly about this mission and what the governor ordered you. Well, what I want is first-hand information." Li Cong whispered from the ground, it seems that he really has no quality to calculate others in such a way.

"You want me to betray the governor? That's absolutely impossible. Cao Ke, you should wake up. Although you have great abilities, what's the use? You're still very young if you want to fight the governor. Well, don’t want to know anything from my mouth today.” As soon as he finished speaking, he became like this, Li Cong really felt regret when he came, and everyone looked at it like an idiot Looking at this talking guy, he didn't look at where he expressed his loyalty, and he didn't look at who he was in front of him. Of course, an opponent who was much weaker than the governor would have to resist for a while, but what about this one in front of him? Too strong.

Li Cong cut off the guy's head very neatly, and enjoyed the moment very much. People who don't know the so-called living in this world are wasting their own lives. He should have his own home, and there is the world of the dead.

"If you have any thoughts, you can say it. I may use a more gentle way. I know that you all have your own thoughts. Your family members don't need to worry. I will let my people first Bring them here for a while. You also know whose sphere of influence this is. No matter how powerful the governor is, it is nonsense here. If he can manage my place, I will probably have to be their slave. As long as you do what I say, I dare not say if there is too much, two hundred thousand taels of silver per person is still no problem, how about it?" Li started the temptation of profit from here, and heard this one by one. Two hundred thousand taels of silver for one person, such a good thing is right in front of my eyes, if I don't do it, I will be regarded as a fool by others.

"Okay, I'll join you." The first young man who stood up turned out to be the clerk in the barracks. For others, this guy has already put everything in his heart, and then his own house, saying that his child will grow up slowly, and he also needs life protection. If he does not follow Li Cong If you cooperate, you will die immediately. If you can cooperate with Li Cong, you may have a very good life in the future.

"Hehe. Very good, you will be the leader of these people from now on, and I'm not afraid to tell you what I want to do, as long as you all know clearly, the sky in this southern province will be mine from now on." Li Cong Said domineeringly, and then went out. This is his own world, and these people will definitely not just leave without saying goodbye. Li Tie looked at Li Cong stupidly, as if this old sixth was completely different from the old sixth he knew. Very easy-going, but the one in front of him is very domineering, but Li Tie soon forgot about it. Because the proprietress Hongjie came, this woman Li Cong took a look, she is very good, people in their thirties are really charming, the place that should be protruding is protruding, and the place that should be indented is indented. It looks very good.

However, Li Cong could tell at a glance that this woman was very shrewd, and it was definitely not something Li Tie, a big bastard, could solve. If Li Tie really got together with this woman, she would probably be eaten to death.

"How did you say that? I came back in a hurry. This thing still happened. How did you say that?" Li Cong is not a fool. He knows why this woman didn't show up just now. Both sides are people who can't afford to offend. No matter who wins or loses, it's all because of him. , so it's better for him to hide out, the matter is over now, it can be said that when the weather is calm, he should come back.

"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Hong, it's just a few people making trouble, nothing will happen if I'm here, it scares you, I'll bring a few brothers to cheer you up today, come over later Let's have a glass of wine together." Li Cong didn't say anything here, and Li Tie hurried over there. Li Cong was really depressed about his stupid brother. He used to say that a hero is sad about a beauty. Now look at it. This sentence is really very correct. If there is no such guy, Li Cong still wouldn't believe it.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li. I'm treating Miss Hong to dinner today. I still have a jar of good wine behind me. I'll deliver it to you in person later. I'll go to the kitchen to have a look, okay? Let me arrange it for you, I can't make you embarrassing in front of my brothers, I don't worry about their rough people doing things." Sister Hong hurried over and said to Li Tie, don't mention how affectionate they are, now seeing trouble There is no one on the other side. Naturally, the guy in front of him won. The people who supervised the standard battalion also know each other. Kou, I am very clear about this. Although I will not recommend myself as a pillow, I can still deliver a table of meals. I used to think that the kid in front of me was a big fool. I really didn't expect this kid He has his own ability, and the matter of the supervision camp can be settled. Last time, these few people made trouble. I sent a lot of money in the past and didn't suppress the matter. It seems that my way is still not working.

"Then how can it be? Isn't this just eating and drinking for free? Sister Hong, how can you say that this is also a business, and it's not the porridge shop opened by some earl. How can you not want money? Today you give me a discount That’s it. It’s absolutely impossible not to charge money. If I don’t charge money, how can I bring my brothers to eat in the future. Besides, the food here is really delicious, we all eat very good food, It's worth the price." Li Cong rolled his eyes at Li Tie's words, what was this guy thinking about, and he was just thinking about others for a while.

"Hehe, my brother is also a man of dignity. Since you've said that, I won't be hypocritical. Let's do this. I'll cook for you and get you two refreshing side dishes. You go in first, and I'll come later." After the woman finished speaking, Li Tie nodded quickly, as if it was some kind of mistake if she was slow. This guy smiled and Li Cong really wanted to go over and slap him. How to think about it.

Li Cong observed the proprietress' hands. This is very weak, the average little girl must not have such hands, this is definitely not the hand that often cooks, those hands are not comparable to those of a lady, this age is so tender The little hand can only illustrate a problem. That is, this woman has never been able to cook, which means that the refreshing side dish that this guy will serve later may not know who made it.

But now that Li Tie is in high spirits, Li Cong can't just go up and lose his spirits. This kind of thing is not something he can do. Li Cong pulled Li Tie into the private room just now. You're welcome, it's amazing to eat one by one. The pot of white meat had already gone down, Li Cong came in and immediately killed him with his chopsticks.

A group of people in the room also looked at what was going on with Sister Hong, but this woman was indeed a veteran in dealing with these things, and she looked a little shy when she looked at them, but Li Cong quickly I found that this woman's shyness was definitely a disguise. I really didn't know what her purpose was, but Li Cong knew very well whether this woman needed something from Li Tie. Others might not be able to see it, but Li Cong did. It is very clear that the things on this woman are not ordinary, it looks very ordinary, similar to that of a restaurant proprietress, but the real situation is not like this, the faint fragrance in the air is a kind of Very expensive spices, if Li Cong hadn't asked the princess to be his wife, he probably wouldn't have known about it. This spice is not found in the empire, but a flower that grows in a dangerous place in the east of the Eastern Empire. Things can kill people. It can be said that the little bit that women use every day is probably a life, but the high-level nobles don't think how miserable the death of the common people is, what they think is whether such spices can be used by themselves If you can buy it, the price of one tael of this thing is hundreds of taels of gold. This is still the local price. After traveling tens of thousands of miles, the price of this thing has risen many times. This thing is only available to the royal family. There are only some, even if some big families in the capital have them, the number will not be many. Li Cong began to doubt the identity of this sister Hong. Could it be the emperor's illegitimate daughter?

People who use such spices have thoughts about Li Tie? Li Cong would not believe it even if he was killed. This is not to belittle his brother, but this matter is really impossible to be established, at least Li Tie has not reached such a valuable level.

It is also untenable to use Li Tie to approach him. He is a magician who has been exposed here. With such an identity, it is necessary to dispatch such a person? That's also impossible, Li Cong himself is curious, and everyone over there persuades Sister Hong to sit down and have a drink, but Li Cong looks at Sister Hong slowly here, that look is a bit rude, Li Tie Li Cong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Cong in his eyes. Could it be that this kid is so dishonest?

Li Cong also quickly saw Li Tie's eyes, and sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to continue to observe to see if there were any loopholes in this woman, but he didn't expect this kid to be unwilling. Forget it, this It's not that he can continue to observe, it's better to be honest, Li Cong walked out with his wine glass.

"Look up the details of this woman, including what is going on in this hotel." After Li Cong went out, a person came to Li Cong's side. This is Li Cong's own intelligence agency, but it is not very large now, but in Jiangning There is still no problem in the city. The intelligence system of the magicians union is very complete. Li Cong will give double orders when he wants to check some things. When ordinary magicians want to use the power of the organization, they will It is very cumbersome to use various approvals, but this is completely easy for Li Cong, and he doesn't look at who his master is, so why not scold him? Besides, Xue Hong, the current branch president, wears the same pair of pants as Li Cong. This guy will never have any objections.

Li Cong's double order to the intelligence agency is also to test his newly established intelligence agency. Li Cong's intelligence agency has not been established for a long time. It is impossible for Li Cong to want him to be the same as the investigation department on the earth. Things, on Earth, the investigation department can be said to be omniscient, but here, the new intelligence agency was named Cao's Intelligence Bureau by Li Cong. What is the bureau, Li Cong hopes that one day he can see that the information given to him by his intelligence bureau can be the same as that of the magician's union.

When Li Cong just wanted to go back, he didn't expect that Sister Hong would come out. Li Cong was already at the end of the corridor, and everyone in the corridor greeted Sister Hong with a smile. Looking at the woman in front of me, I feel a little cold, not the kind of glamorous young woman. It's strange to say that I don't seem to offend this woman in front of me, so why do I feel hated?

"Why doesn't Mr. Li go in for a drink? Is it because my toast makes Mr. Li uncomfortable? If so, Mr. Li can go in. If Mr. Li wants to know my news, he can tell me directly, no need to work Someone else's." Sister Hong said with a smile, Li Cong didn't know how to deal with these words. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation
