When he walked out of the capital, Li Xiao felt a sense of liberation. He finally didn't have to deal with those extremely smart bureaucrats in the capital. Li Xiao felt that his brain cells were obviously not enough in the capital these days.

They are all old foxes! There have been many times, as long as I made the slightest mistake in my business, I would have been buried in the capital. Although I was really happy to make a fuss in the capital, the murderous intention hidden inside was indeed shocking at every step. Saying this

It is no exaggeration to say that this trip is a narrow escape!

On the other hand, Ao Canghai and Xu Xianchun were so inseparable when they parted that they actually shed a few tears. Maybe the cadres in the judicial system all share the same love, but Li Xiao looked like a huge mountain with his back.

It is difficult to understand the friendship between Ao Canghai and Xu Xianchun. Xu Xianchun can be regarded as an absolute villain in history books. He belongs to the kind of person who is so bad that Yang Lian was nailed alive by him with a big red-hot nail.

It was nailed into the head.

However, the Xu Xianchun Li Xiao saw was more real than the one in the history books. This guy was a philistine, greedy, and good at using power for personal gain. It seems a bit far-fetched to suggest that he was a bad guy based on these, because most officials in these days were like this.

If you are a leader, you are a corrupt official, your colleagues are corrupt officials, and your subordinates are fucking corrupt officials. In this environment, if you are neither corrupt nor occupying, you are simply going against the entire bureaucracy. In this excellent collective of corrupt officials

, people who are too different will not be able to survive!

Despite all his problems, this guy seems to have another kind of personality.

Stress the loyalty and credibility of the community! The specific manifestation is to collect money to do things, and you will never get paid twice. As long as it is a matter for a buddy, you will definitely go to all lengths. If there is a difficulty, we will handle it. If there is no difficulty, we will handle it even if there is a difficulty.

Such contradictory characters exist harmoniously in one body. Li Xiao feels very confused now. The good people in the history books all have the same virtue, and the bad people in the history books have the same virtue. The stupid emperor is actually

A sinister man, what is a loyal minister and what is a treacherous minister? Now Li Xiao can’t figure it out!

During this trip to the capital, what impressed Li Xiao the most was subversion. All historical understandings were subverted during this trip to the capital. There is no justice, justice, or morality in officialdom. There is only one kind in officialdom.

The eternal existence of relationships is interests.

For the sake of profit, Cui Chengxiu, who is so bad, can cooperate with Wang Wenyan, who is so good. For profit, Wei Zhongxian can actually launch a charge against the entire civil service group.

"What are you thinking about?" Ao Canghai saw Li Xiao's appearance and pushed him.

"Nothing! Sometimes, it's really hard to tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy. The Tianjin Guard is ahead!" In order to get on the ship as soon as possible, Li Xiao chose the Tianjin Guard to get on the ship. The distance from the capital to the Tianjin Guard is,

It is much closer than Shanhaiguan. Moreover, Tianjin Wei also has a seaport, which is a good deep-water port. Li Xiao was still in the capital, so he sent people to Shanhaiguan to ask Liu Laoliu to transfer to Tianjin Wei.

"You have a lot of brains. Who is a good person? What is good to you is a good person, what is a bad person? Whoever is not good to you is a bad person. If you think about this and that, just use it as a ball. I know you don't like Xu Xianchun,

But I, Lao Ao, think he is good.

This man has evil intentions, but he has no right to say anything to us. As for having bad intentions towards others, who cares? There are so many people in the world, and you can control them?"

Those who are good to themselves are good people, and those who are not good to themselves are bad people. Ao Ye's values ​​are very simple, but so effective! Things like family, country, and world have never existed in Ao Ye's dictionary.

It was said that it was close to Tianjin, but it actually took three days to walk. Li Xiao estimated that the disappearance of Governor Zhu had not been discovered yet, and he would have his own world once he boarded the ship. Li Xiao vowed never to go to the capital again.

Well, that place is too complicated. As a political novice, I still have a long way to go before I can survive.

"Master, shall we go to Shandong or go back to the island?" Liu Laoliu stood behind Li Xiao with his waist hunched over. Ever since he was punished by Li Xiao for being timid, this guy seemed to have become much weaker.

He doesn't seem to have much energy.

"Old Liu! You are the old brother I brought to the island from Liaodong. Guns are flying everywhere on the battlefield. Everyone has it when they are scared, but you can't do it! You are the captain, and everyone is watching you. If you don't deal with it,

You, how will you lead these soldiers in the future? We will have more and more transport ships here in the future, so it would be better for you to drive the transport ships."

"Now that I know the boss, I, Old Liu, gave up when he was about to die. You have nothing to say to me. It's rare that the boss still trusts me. If you don't say anything, I, Old Liu, will definitely sail the ship for you. If you encounter a war in the future, you see

How can I, Old Liu, lose my face? How can I, Old Liu, earn it back?"

"In this case, let's go to Shandong. By the way, have you left any boats at Shanhaiguan? There are still thousands of people in Man's house. If you leave a few small sampans, you know Man's temper.

."

"No way! Just bring these two boats and leave the rest to Master Man. The people who drive the boats are all reliable, so don't worry!"

Starting from Tianjin Wei, Li Xiao went directly to Laizhou. It had been agreed in advance that Chen Fu was waiting for him in Laizhou.

When they arrived at the sea of ​​Laizhou, Chen Fu's boat came up. It still had the same festive face, but it had more wrinkles. As people get older, these wrinkles add one after another. Once they grow out, they are difficult to heal.

"Hahaha! I know you are not a simple boy. You actually made such a big noise in the capital. My admiral is hosting a banquet in Laizhou to welcome you!" Chen Fu squinted his eyes with a smile and pointed hard at Li Xiao's shoulder.

He slapped it hard.

"How great is this? By the way, Lord Shen is here. Our Lord Mao is also here. We must let our Lord Mao meet his uncle."

"It's coming! It's coming! Not only Master Shen is here, but also Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai. Master Sun is very curious about you and has been clamoring to see you."

Chen Fu hugged Li Xiao very affectionately and gave him a big hug. When no one was paying attention, he whispered: "Go to the bow of the boat and talk."

"Mr. Chen, this is my first time coming to Laizhou. Can you introduce me to the scenery of Laizhou?" Li Xiao pulled Chen Fu towards the bow of the ship very enthusiastically, and at the same time made a gesture to Ao Canghai.

"Brothers, my master has brought some special products from the capital to the Admiral. Let me go to the cabin to have a look, and we will arrange for people to unload the goods later. There are several items that are very valuable. You have to look carefully. If you break them,

What a pity." Seeing the servant behind Chen Fu wanting to follow him, Ao Canghai immediately walked over and stopped him.

Hearing that it was a gift for Chen Hailong, these few people had no choice but to follow Ao Canghai out of the cabin.

"What's going on?" Li Xiao was a little confused and didn't understand what Chen Fu was causing.

"Hey! What can I say! My family has some taboos against you. You have developed too fast in the past few years. In fact, this is not a big deal. I can still maintain my position. I just want to ask you, have you offended anything in the capital?

people."

"What's wrong?"

"My Lord Admiral wanted to have a good talk with you yesterday, as long as you don't hinder the interests of the Chen family. But last night, two people came to the capital. It was very mysterious, and my Lord changed his mind. Today is the reception banquet

I want to kill you and Master Mao!"

"Is there someone from the capital?" Li Xiao's head was racing, and he had offended several people in the capital. Li Sancai was so angry that he vomited blood, and the two sons of Huang Zunsu, the censor, were crippled by him.

After thinking about it, Huang Zunsu didn't have the power to move Chen Hailong. Then this person was ready to be revealed, either Zhao Nanxing or Li Sancai. These two old bastards always wore the same pants, and they were big bosses in the Donglin Party.

Many times, the first assistant Ye Xianggao would also give three points to the two of them!

"Thank you, Mr. Chen Gaoyi. Li Xiao believes in your words! But Li Xiao still wants to ask, why?" Chen Fu is a two-generation old steward of the Chen Hailong family. Why did he tell himself this?

"Hey...! During the Chinese New Year, my old brother sent me a letter. He told me what happened on your island. I really yearn for your island. To be honest, little brother, there is also intrigue within the Chen family.

Although I, Chen Fu, am a big manager, I am still a slave. As long as my master wants to take over, he can take me out with just one word. No matter how much wealth I have accumulated, or how prosperous my descendants are.

.They are all just slaves of the master!

I, Chen Fu, am getting old, and I no longer want to live a life of such intrigues. If one day I can live a carefree life on your island like my old brother, then I will have no regrets in this life!"

"The door of Pi Island is always open to Mr. Chen. As long as you are willing, you can bring your family to Pi Island at any time. Don't worry, I, Li Xiao, will support everything." To put it bluntly, Chen Fu just doesn't want future generations to have to carry a child on their backs.

The status of a slave. The fisherman can remove his status as a craftsman by going to the Pi Island. Naturally, Chen Fu can also remove his slave status by going to the Pi Island.

"It's good to have your words. My brother's business comes first. I believe what you say." Chen Fu took Li Xiao's hand and shook it hard.

"Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, is in Laizhou. You can ask him to preside over it. Although my admiral is arrogant, he still has to give the governor face."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I, Li Xiao, will go to the Hongmen Banquet tonight. After you land, quietly gather your family. If things change, go directly to the dock and board the ship."

"This...! My admiral has...!"

"Don't worry, I have a solution. Just report back to your admiral as normal!" Li Xiao smiled mysteriously, leaving Chen Fu a little confused.

Could it be that this owl brother has other tricks up his sleeve?

The sky gradually darkened, and the ship on the pier rose and fell slightly with the waves. Li Xiao and Ao Canghai stepped off the warship with more than a dozen guards, mounted their horses and walked towards Chen Hailong's mansion. Along the way, there were not only people guiding the way, but also

There were soldiers escorting me from behind.

Soon, under the guidance of officers and soldiers, Li Xiao arrived at Chen Hailong's residence. The residence of the Shandong Navy Admiral was indeed extraordinary. The five rows of copper nails shining brightly under the light. He raised his head and saw a black plaque, which said that the Jinghai Marquis Mansion was built.

There were two rows of tall officers and soldiers lined up in front of the door, each standing like a nail holding a tiger-head waist knife. The old steward Chen Fu stood at the door and saluted immediately when he saw Li Xiao coming.

"Brother Xiao, my master has been waiting inside for a long time. Please!" Chen Fu made a gesture of invitation. Li Xiao smiled at Chen Fu and walked in. The guard behind him wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by the soldiers in front of the door.

They stopped.

"Wait here!" Li Xiao ordered, leading Ao Canghai inside.

After entering the middle door and coming to the hall, I saw Chen Hailong standing at the door of the hall in brocade casual clothes. I saw Li Xiao and Ao Canghai walking in under the guidance of Chen Fu, and they immediately greeted them.

"Invite you two. Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you see Mr. Mao?"

"Haha! My Lord Mao is a little seasick and has no way to get off the ship, so I can only come to the banquet on behalf of Lord Mao. Please forgive me, Lord Admiral!"

"Oh, so that's it, this strong man is...!" Chen Hailong had never seen Ao Canghai before, and when he saw the fierce look on Ao Canghai's face, he couldn't help but look him up and down.

"This is Colonel Zhaoxin, whom His Majesty personally ennobles. His surname is Ao and his last name is Canghai. Mr. Ao! This is the Admiral Chen who I told you about!" Li Xiao introduced the two people enthusiastically.

"Ao Canghai, I have met the admiral." Ao Canghai awkwardly stepped forward and saluted!

"Haha! At first glance, he looks like a hero who can kill Tatars. Please come inside! Please come inside!" Chen Hailong smiled brightly and made an inviting gesture.

The three people entered the hall. There was a tiger-skin chair in the middle of the hall. There were two rows of tables on each side. Li Xiao and Ao Canghai were seated under Chen Hailong. Judging from the seats, it was for Li Xiao.

Treat as a honored guest.

"Please sit down, both of you! It's a pity that Mr. Mao can't come! These are Chen's subordinates. I'll introduce them to you in a moment. They are all good men floating on the sea!"

"My master entrusted Li to bring some small gifts to the admiral." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he waved his hand to Ao Canghai, who immediately flattened the box he had been carrying.

"Oh, Mr. Mao also brought me a gift. Thank you! Thank you!" Chen Hailong was very interested when he heard that there was a gift. He couldn't see clearly through the light, so he had to go down the steps to take a closer look.

The box was opened, revealing several dark objects inside.

Li Xiao took one in his hand and smiled at Chen Hailong: "There are not many good things on our island, but this firearm is quite sharp. Especially this grenade, it is simply a weapon for melee gang jumping. This time our hair

Your Excellency has sent two hundred pieces. This is a sample for Mr. Chen to take a look at."

"Oh! What a good thing!" Chen Hailong has known for a long time that Pi Dao's firearms are sharp. When he saw it today, he immediately became excited. Soldiers are much more interested in weapons than women!

Li Xiao took out a grenade and stuffed it into Chen Hailong's hand, pointed at the grenade and introduced: "Admiral, look at this ring, just pull the ring and throw it out. This thing will explode! Even if it is in the water, it will explode.

It will explode."

"Can it explode in water?" Chen Hailong asked with wide eyes.
Chapter completed!
