Chapter 517 Wulezhi Arrives in Yangzhou
Wu Yanhao tasted the flavor.
"So, should you two play or not? I'm the only one who's starting the experience?"
Li Cunxi swallowed the meat in his mouth, was silent for a while, and said:
"If you put it that way, it is actually true."
"After all, the position I hold now is a sinecure. Although I am nominally the highest administrative official in Luozhou, the real power lies in the hands of the governor of Luozhou."
"Come to think of it, the new Luozhou governor took office when we were in Chongzhou. He never came to see me after we came back."
Li Cunxi narrowed his eyes, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Our new governor of Luozhou is called Chen Ming. He was the victim of the robbery of officials and their families by the 19 thieves of Baihelin."
"It was his things that Ma Rong stole back then."
Wu Yanhao had obviously found out the identity of his boss.
As Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, his status was equivalent to that of the Chang Shi of Luozhou, that is, his cousin Wu Yizong.
His superior is naturally the governor of Luozhou.
"It turned out to be Chen Ming."
Ma Rong smiled awkwardly. Many years ago, he robbed an official's family and almost killed Chen Ming's family. He also forced Chen Ming to flee back to Luoyang and dared not take up the post of Lizhou Governor.
Li Cunxi couldn't help but think of that unlucky guy. If it weren't for Ma Rong leading the Baihelin bandits to disrupt the good deeds, Chen Ming would have been the governor of Lizhou for several years.
God knows how much benefit Chen Ming can gain by being the governor of the land of abundance.
However, this unlucky guy has not yet reached his real bad luck. In a few years, Zeng Tai, who has been exiled, will be transferred back to Luozhou to serve as the governor thanks to his relationship with Di Renjie.
At that time, the turning point of his destiny would just begin.
"Now that we know that the new governor of Luozhou is Mr. Chen Ming, we naturally have to pay him a visit."
"Arong, when you go back later, remember to buy some snacks. It doesn't matter if they are cheap or not, as long as they are green bean cakes."
"Li's salary is only enough to buy mung bean cakes. I can't afford expensive snacks."
As Li Cunxi was speaking, he suddenly vomited.
Li Cunxi felt a sour feeling in his stomach when he thought about the Youzhou case, in which he had eaten mung bean cakes for several months and ended up not wanting to eat them the most in his life.
He really couldn't look directly at something like mung bean cake anymore.
As much as he loved her back then, he can't stand it now.
"I understand, Master." Ma Rong bowed and accepted the task.
"Okay, let's continue eating. Brother Yanhao, remember to get up early tomorrow and have breakfast at home before leaving."
"I know, I know. I can't stand the thought of you guys shaking your heads and making comments while I'm working tomorrow."
"What's so hard about this? We're all brothers." Lu Dayou laughed and turned back to look at his book, "Cunxi, which book should I bring tomorrow?"
"Just bring The Analects. There is no better book than this one."
Li Cunxi ate his food leisurely and began to think about why the Dogecoin system had not yet settled the Chongzhou case.
It's impossible that the Chongzhou case, which lasted for more than half a year, has not yet ended?
……
Yangzhou City, Xize Silver Bank.
A group of masked men dressed in Western style walked into the Xize Bank. The leader carefully supported an old man and took him to a chair nearby and sat him down steadily.
He gently comforted the old man again, then turned and walked towards Tao Gan, who was in a state of panic.
It was already dusk and there were no customers in the Xize Bank. The masked man with his head wrapped in white cloth came to the counter and handed over an envelope.
"The master asked me to give this letter to Tao Gantao, the shopkeeper of Xize Bank. You should be the shopkeeper, right?"
Tao Gan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the other party mentioned the word "head of the family", it means that this person must have been sent by Li Cunxi.
However, from the aura unconsciously emanating from the other party, Tao Gan clearly sensed that this was a person stronger than Long Feng and Ma Rong.
To be frank, there are probably only a few people in the whole world who can defeat the enemy.
"I am the shopkeeper."
Tao Gan took the envelope, opened it and read it without hiding it from others, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Your Excellency is Mr. Ulezhi?"
Ulezhi nodded and said:
"I am Wulezhi. I have brought my wind riders to Yangzhou to protect my mother and the Xize Silver Company."
Tao Gan was overjoyed and asked quickly:
"Do you have a letter on you that you want to give to the second son of the King of Yue?"
Wulezhi nodded silently as a response.
"Okay, please send all the horses to the stables. I will welcome you tonight."
Tao Gan walked out of the counter and began to arrange the necessary steps before closing the store in an orderly manner.
The Wind Riders' horses were all sent to the stables to be well cared for.
When Tao Gan came back, there was one more person beside him.
This man is handsome and thin, like a scholar, but he has a bit of hostility.
The man took two steps at a time and came forward, bowing to Wulezhi who was accompanying my mother, saying:
"General Wulezhi, I am Li Gui."
Wulezhi was also familiar with the etiquette of the Great Zhou, so he quickly stood up and bowed in return.
"The defeated general Wulezhi greets His Highness Li Gui."
Both of them stood up, and saw Li Gui turned to Wulezhi's mother with a gentle and polite smile.
"Old man, you must have suffered a lot during this bumpy ride, right?"
"I have ordered my brothers to prepare a good room for you. When Zhou Lu came back a few days ago, he brought a few dancers from the Western Regions from Luoyang. I will send them to the old lady for her use."
"If there is anything that is missing or insufficient while the old lady is here, or if the servants cannot serve you well, please tell me and I will find some maids for you."
The old lady was moved to tears.
"I am not an unreasonable person. I was a general in the Turkic Duolu tribe and was ordered to assassinate Lord Li."
"When the assassination attempt failed, Lord Li tried to persuade me with kind words. Lord Li did not despise me, forgave my sins, and sent me and myself to this prosperous place. How righteous and noble you are!"
“What a broad mind!”
The old lady burst into tears, and many memories came to her mind at once.
In the overgrown land of Turkic, Ulezhi could only afford to buy a house for many years.
When they arrived at the Great Zhou, Li Cunxi sent them directly to a prosperous place, ostensibly to look after the place, but in reality he was just there to enjoy a leisurely life.
"I already know about your affairs. My brother Cunxi is broad-minded, upright, noble and generous. As long as we are sincere and compatible, my brother Cunxi will naturally not mind these little things."
Li Gui spoke in a loud and clear voice, and every word he said was insightful. He didn't care whether others believed him or not, and just kept praising Li Cunxi.
Obviously, not only Ulezhi and his mother, but also the wind riders believed it.
After all, they had experienced it themselves, and Li Cunxi was also blessed by heaven, so how could they dare to be indecisive?
"We swear to be loyal to you till death and will never forget your kindness!"
The group of wind riders spoke loudly as if they had rehearsed it.
