Although Xu Shiji had been in contact with Li Fengyun for a short time, he knew that Li Fengyun was definitely a real man and a righteous man.
On that day, the White Horse was robbed of prison. If Li Fengyun had not responded, he would have died in the White Horse Commander's Biquli. With the exposure of Xu Shiji's identity, the entire Lihu Xu family would have died in a bad life. At that time, Li Fengyun didn't know this. He was just out of loyalty, or just because of his personality, so he stayed without hesitation, killed the pursuers and saved Xu Shiji's life. Today, the Shan family was in trouble, involving more than 100 lives, which also had a certain relationship with Li Fengyun. How could Li Fengyun stand by and ignore it? He glared at Zhai Rang in the morning and roared in a row, which had already revealed his extremely bad mood. It was precisely because of this that Zhai Rang and others were not resentful because of his violence, and even turned against him.
However, Xu Shiji never expected that in order to rescue Shan, Li Fengyun wanted to return to Baima and kill the Censor who caused the storm in Dongjun. This was crazy and incredible. How could he come up with such a crazy plan? But thinking about how he actually threatened the officials of Baima City to open the city gate by holding the delicate Twelve Lady of Cui in Baima City that day, he didn't think this move was surprising. Just imagine that even Cui, the No. 1 wealthy family in Zhongtu, dared to offend him, how could he be afraid of a Censor?
Xu Shiji gradually calmed down and returned to calm from the shock, thinking about Li Fengyun's chances of winning this strategy and the possible goals it could achieve.
Xu Shiji suddenly realized that Li Fengyun was not going to kill the censor, but to use the same trick again, to kidnap and threaten the censor.
A Beijing official from Guanlong, and was also a specialist in supervising officials and inspecting prefectures and counties. Senior officials of the Censorate, representing the emperor and the central government, and representing the authority of the central government. If such a prominent bureaucrat has an accident in Dongjun, he will kidnap, hold him hostage, or even kill the head, which will damage the face of the emperor and the central government. What is lost is the authority of the central government. How could the emperor and the central government give up? The first person to be responsible is the county magistrate of Dongjun, and at least he must be dismissed and investigated. When the county magistrate of Dongjun fell, a large group of bureaucrats who followed him will also be in trouble. What is particularly serious is that it will inevitably touch the interests of Shandong aristocratic groups, especially the local forces in Henan.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that once the censor was kidnapped or held hostage, the county magistrate of Dongjun would first rescue him at all costs, and in fact he would save himself. At this time, as long as the conditions that did not seriously endanger the interests of the county magistrate of Dongjun, the county magistrate of Dongjun would agree. Such as providing convenience for the Wagang people to rescue more than 100 people from the Shan family, it would be a trivial matter.
What a plan, it's really a sword to kill the throat.
Xu Shiji was moved. Compared with Zhai Rang's rescue plan, this strategy has obvious advantages. It is simple and effective. It is unexpected and unpredictable to attack the enemy. It hits the enemy's key points. It will definitely save the enemy when attacking the enemy, and the chance of victory is very high.
However, the disadvantages of this strategy are also obvious. They cut off their own way of life and completely cut off the only survival hopes of the Wagang people. If Zhai Rang and others want to reverse their destiny and live a normal life, there is only one premise. They always maintain their relationship with the county magistrates of Dongjun and other Henan nobles, and they must never offend the powerful nobles. Even if they suffer humiliation, they must be patient. Only in this way can they rely on the help of these powerful nobles to "see the light of day again."
If Li Fengyun succeeded in this plan, he would rescue more than 100 people from the Shan family, but at the same time he would offend all the governors of Dongjun County, and both sides would inevitably turn against each other.
The Wagang people kidnapped and held the Censor of the Supervisor, which was equivalent to killing the Dongjun County County Magistrate. The result can be imagined. It can be foreseeable that even if the Dongjun County Magistrate rescued the Censor of the Supervisor, the Censor of the Supervisor was insulted, and his career was in danger. He would inevitably hate the Dongjun County Magistrate, and the forces behind him would inevitably find ways to attack the Dongjun County Magistrate. From an official standpoint, this matter is unforgivable. It violates the official field.
The hidden rules of the court are the most taboo things in the officialdom. No one would think that the county magistrate of Dongjun is innocent in this matter, so the county magistrate of Dongjun is mute and cannot say that he and the forces behind him will eventually be under pressure. On the one hand, they will compromise with their opponents, on the other hand, they will spare no effort to attack the people of Wagang, on the one hand, prove their innocence, and on the other hand, they will also explain to the Censor and the forces behind him.
Zhai Rang and the Wagang people were always victims of power struggles, and were tools for the county magistrates of Dongjun and their forces behind them. "Tools" must have the awareness of being "tools" and be loyal to the benefactor. Once they betray the benefactor, they will of course kill them all. In fact, this will be sentenced to the "death penalty" of Zhai Rang and the Wagang people. As long as these nobles always control power, Zhai Rang and the Wagang people will never have a chance to stand out and can only do the "thief" to the end.
Xu Shiji and his entire family were also victims of this matter. Even if Xu Shiji was lucky, the Twelve Lady of Cui did not reveal his identity. Cui still protected the Lihu Xu family. However, because of the need to do the Yi, Xu must maintain contact with the underworld thieves. This will seriously affect the development of the Xu family and even directly destroy the dream of Xu family from a lowly merchant class to a lowly aristocratic class.
The more Xu Shiji thought about it, the more scared he became. Brother, who are you? Why did you force Ming Gong and us to raise the flag to rebel? Throughout history, how many rebels have succeeded? Especially now is the heyday of the dynasty. Although there are natural disasters and wars, the people of the world can still maintain their lives. Even if they are like Ming Gong and I have reached this point today, it is not because they are too poor and cannot survive, but because their life is too good, they have too many desires, too greedy, and they are lawless, and they are in different ways of black and white, and have committed countless crimes, so they have the end of today.
But Xu Shiji could not say these words, and he was slapping himself in the mouth. The "justice" in the thief's mouth and the "justice" in the government's mouth are completely different, and these two so-called "justice" are deeply hated by the general public. Now Zhai Rang and the Wagang people are already "vulnerable groups". In order to survive, the vulnerable groups must of course shout "justice" to win support, otherwise what will be the trust of the general public to win support? Since they have to shout "justice" and be righteous and chant for the benefit of the general public, what is the mistake of Li Fengyun using this to rescue the Shan family?
But Xu Shiji did not dare to tell Zhai Rang about this strategy. It was not because this matter might have ruined Zhai Rang's face and harmed Zhai Rang's prestige, but because this strategy would inevitably make Zhai Rang and the county magistrate of Dongjun become enemies, which would inevitably destroy Zhai Rang's only remaining hope, and would inevitably force Zhai Rang to the dead end. Just imagine how Zhai Rang could agree? Not only did he disagree, he would also try his best to stop it.
Xu Shiji was helpless. Fortunately, he was a passionate boy after all, and he was unwilling to watch more than 100 innocent lives of the Shan family lost. He finally chose to support Li Fengyun.
"When will you leave?" Xu Shiji looked at the sky and asked.
Li Fengyun slowly looked up and looked at Xu Shiji. After a long time, a hint of relief appeared on his face, "I'm waiting for someone. When he comes, we'll leave."
Xu Shiji knew that he was talking about Shan Xiongxin. Although Li Fengyun's roar in the morning could not convince Zhai Rang, it could make Shan Xiongxin's heart beat. Those more than one hundred lives were crucial to Shan Xiongxin. Although Zhai Rang's rescue strategy was as good as he could, Zhai Rang now could not protect himself and did not have the ability to rescue the Shan family. Since that is the case, Shan Xiongxin of course had to seize Li Fengyun's life-saving straw.
Li Fengyun continued to sharpen his knife.
Xu Shiji waited patiently, but he did not ask Li Fengyun about his specific plan. He believed that Li Fengyun had the ability to kidnap the censor. Since there was hope for saving the Shan family, what he was most concerned about now was the safety of the Xu family. If Xu family also encountered the same disaster as the Shan family, how should he save it? Especially after the successful rescue of the Shan family, the Wagang people led by Zhai Rang turned against the powerful Henan people headed by the county magistrate of Dongjun. The two sides would inevitably fight, and the Xu family of Lihu was very likely to be devastating. What should Xu do?
"Brother, this disaster is getting worse and worse, and I, Xu, are also deeply involved in it and are in danger."
Xu Shiji sighed and sat next to Li Fengyun. While watching him sharpen his knife, he said to himself, "The Xu family is probably going to be destroyed in my hands."
Li Fengyun smiled and shook his head, "Xu is not worried."
Xu Shiji was surprised again. Since he met Li Fengyun, the white-haired prisoner has shocked him too much. After each shock, Xu Shiji has gained something and benefited a lot.
"Why did Brother have such inference?"
"The Eastern Expedition is imminent, and the war is about to begin. As a giant Henan shipping businessman, the role of Xu's family in this war can be imagined. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. A million troops will go to Goguryeo, and the food and grass are innumerable. At this moment, who dares to touch your Xu family? Whoever moves your Xu family is equivalent to destroying the Eastern Expedition, and destroying the Eastern Expedition is equivalent to fighting the emperor." Li Fengyun turned his head and looked at Xu Shiji and asked with a smile, "Who dares to fight against the emperor?"
When Xu Shiji heard this, he was not happy and was still worried.
"A million troops went to the expedition to Goguryeo, and the war would end in an instant." Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Eastern Expedition is over, and the Xu family is doomed."
"Destroy it?" Li Fengyun laughed, then laughed loudly, his laughter filled with anger and sadness.
"Why did Brother laugh?"
Xu Shiji noticed Li Fengyun's emotional fluctuations, and also heard the pain in the laughter, and couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that he has any amazing stories on Northeast Road?
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind them, and then Shan Xiongxin's cry sounded, "Where is the wind?"
