Kong Liansu grabbed a bottle of wine from the cabinet on the side, unscrewed the lid, took a few big sips, and his face immediately turned red. With a loud bang, he paused the bottle of wine on the small table and looked at Qin Li and said, "There has never been a secret in this world that can be kept forever. Do you know that every day I have lived here is like a year? Do you know, how many nights I was awakened from a nightmare. In my dream, the soldiers in black uniforms broke into the door and dragged me away in a tie?"

Qin Li smiled and said, "But you are still doing well. In the past two years, we have sent a lot of people to Taoyuan and Wuling, and the longest time has lasted for only one year. And you have been here for four years. Not only have you collected countless valuable information for us, but you have also moved up step by step steadily. The value of the information you collected has become increasingly greater, so this is why I have a special trip."

"I saw robbers eating meat, but how could I see robbers being beaten?" Kong Lianshun sighed.

"I know." Qin Li smiled and lifted the bottle, took a sip, and smacked his mouth: "Good wine, the burning knife produced by Ming Dynasty, is worthy of its reputation. Sun Lianshun, I have experienced everything you have experienced. Over time, you will naturally become accustomed to it and feel at ease."

"It's been four years, isn't it long enough?" Kong Lianshun stared at Qin Li with red eyes.

"I have been in this industry for twenty years. In the first ten years, I was trembling and walking on thin ice. In the next five years, I became accustomed to it. If I don't do anything in the past five years, I will feel restless and feel that life is very boring." Qin Li smiled and took another sip of wine, and his face also looked rosy. "Kong Lianshun, you are better than me, you are much better than me. I think it may only take ten years for you to evolve to my stage."

Kong Lianshun sternly said: "I don't want to live a life like you. I just want to be reunited with my relatives in a simple way."

Qin Li looked at Kong Lianshun, "You must be clear that in your experience, your family was persecuted to death by those corrupt officials in Changning County. Of course, if you want, I can also make up a reason to send them back to you. How about reunion with you? As long as the reasons are appropriate, it is not only possible to hide from the wise people."

Looking at the strange smile on Qin Li's face, Kong Lianshun said dejectedly: "No, no, let them live a good life in Chang'an. I don't want them to live such a life without humans or ghosts with me."

Qin Li's smile on his face became much more and more. He stood up, walked to Kong Lianshun's side, patted his shoulder: "This is the truth. Men, should we fight outside and earn a bright future for our wife and children, right? Kong Lianshun, this is a disaster that no one can escape. There is a peaceful life. Where can we have a peaceful life? You were in Changzhu before, and you were still involved in this troubled world and ended up with nothing? Should you be passively swallowed up by this disaster, or bravely participate and work hard to change your precarious future? I believe you will make the right choice."

Looking at Kong Lianshun's face, he laughed: "Do you know? I'm even looking forward to building a spy network for us in Taoyuan and Wuling."

Kong Lianshun looked at him coldly: "If you want me to die sooner, doing so will indeed achieve your goal quickly. Do you know that Changzhu is now a gathering of merchants from both countries, and it is also the place where the Ministry of State Security of the Ming Dynasty pays the most attention to. Here, it is possible to be exposed anytime and anywhere."

"This is as you wish. I have no rigid requirements. Or you can beat countless useless spy detectives." Qin Li nodded. "Your report earlier said that Tian has sent you an invitation to form an alliance with you?"

"What kind of alliance is that I can't beat me in Changzhu. I want to change a way to swallow me!" Kong Lianshun sneered.

"With the power of the Tian family, why are there no strong movers?"

"Because the governor of Taoyuan County Ben Kuan seems to hate the Tian family very much, the Tian family dare not move here." Kong Lianshun replied.

Qin Li thought about it and said, "I promised the Tian family, but there is one thing: the restaurant management rights in Changzhu must be in charge of you, not the people from their Tian family. What the Tian family wants is just money."

"Are you crazy? Do you not know what Tian is? The person who sits in the second seat in the Ministry of National Security is the largest spy detective den of the Ministry of National Security."

Qin Li sneered: "If it's not for this, then I really don't care about them. Tian Zhen is much more valuable than Ben Kuan. If you can climb Tian Zhen through this line, it will be an unexpected surprise for us."

Kong Lianshun's face turned pale: "Let me walk in front of Tian Zhen, are you afraid that I will not die?"

"Don't worry. Tian Zhen is not as difficult as I imagined." Qin Li sneered. "At least I think you are not worse than him at all. We don't want you to spy on any information specifically, but you have to be clear that as long as you can make friends with such people, in your daily interactions with them, you can get a lot of things that we can't get even if we try our best. There are great scholars in talking and laughing, but no white dicks. Who can interact with Tian Zhen, and who is not powerful, rich and powerful? He is the first-class powerful man in the Ming Dynasty."

"I understand." Kong Lianshun said dejectedly.

"But don't worry, you have to hold the airs and let them want to be unavailable first. Since Ben Kuan is standing behind you, you can naturally ask for more." Qin Li burst out laughing, "The more you can't get it, the more they will cherish it."

"Even if I join them, I'm afraid I can't get close to Tian Zhen, right? After all, I'm just a restaurant owner."

"It's because of humans. We are not in a hurry. If we are in a hurry, we will have bad things." Qin Li said. "But if you don't take this first step, you will never know whether you will succeed, right?"

Kong Lianshun stood up, walked to the cabinet on the side, took out something from inside, and placed it in front of Qin Li.

"Instead of looking forward to getting in touch with someone like Tian Zhen now, it is better to start with something realistic and possible."

Qin Li opened the scroll in front of him and looked at a girl painted on the scroll, "Who is this? What is the origin?"

"This woman is called Fan Xiaomei. She was raped by Qi and her family to Changning County. Because of the difficulty of life, her family encountered great problems, so the woman was sold to a wealthy businessman in Changning County. It is said that she was sent to Chang'an later." Kong Lianshun introduced.

"Does she have any background?" Qin Li looked at the girl on the scroll.

"This woman's brother is Fan Chang." Kong Lianshun looked at Qin Li and said.

"Fan Chang? The general of the Ming army stationed in Changzhu County?" Qin Li raised his eyebrows and his expression immediately became excited, "How did you know this news and have a portrait of this woman?"

Kong Lianshun said: "When I first came to Changzhu, I opened a small restaurant. At that time, Fan Chang was just a captain. Sometimes he would invite his foreigners to come to me for dinner. After a while, he became familiar with him. During the conversation, he knew that I had escaped from Changning County and died, so he told me about this. He felt sorry for his younger sister and never gave up on finding Fan Xiaomei. At that time, I naturally didn't dare to say that I could help him because it was inconsistent with my identity. Later, he came less and less, so I forgot about this, or he just felt that he was sympathetic with me and talked about it before."

Qin Li nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job. If you had the idea of ​​winning over him and accepting this matter with great responsibilities, I'm afraid it would be a doubt. How could a fugitive citizen help such a favor? Look, Kong Lianshun, I'll say you are meticulous and born to do this? It seems that the progress of things is just in the past year?"

"That's right." Kong Lianshun nodded: "At the beginning of this year, my small restaurant has become a big restaurant today, and he has also been promoted to a general. Hey, he has been promoted very quickly. Now he is a general stationed in Changzhu to command 3,000 troops. He is still a banquet for his foreign generals to come to my place for dinner. During the meal, I cleverly mentioned this matter."

"Um."

"I told him that I now know many businessmen from Chang'an, or these people, who can help him find out about his sister's situation." Kong Lianshun said.

"The transition is natural, it's good." Qin Li clapped his hands and smiled.

"He was naturally overjoyed. Over the years, he also asked many people to inquire about his sister, but he still found nothing." Kong Lianshun said: "After hearing what I said, he immediately found a painter and drew his sister's portrait. However, this portrait was from a few years ago. Fan Chang said it had nine-point images."

"I looked like a few years ago!" Qin Li pondered: "A woman changed her age, isn't she afraid she's already unrecognizable now? Is this a bit difficult?"

"Just looking for someone, can't Ghost Shadow?" Kong Lianshun looked at him sarcastically: "Fan Chang is a general stationed in Changzhu. This is the front line of the Ming army's confrontation with Qi. Such a general is afraid that the information in his hands is far from comparable to that of an ordinary general? If this woman can be retrieved, Fan Chang will probably regard me as a great benefactor. If I make friends with him, I can naturally proceed further."

Qin Li laughed: "Okay, this woman, as long as she is still alive, I will definitely find her. Let her play the role she deserves. Once she finds this woman, a real Qi businessman will bring this news to you."

"That's good."

"Kong Lianshun, don't be so sad. Victory will definitely belong to our Daqi. After a few more years, when our Daqi overcomes the current predicament, we will start war with the Ming Kingdom, completely eliminate them, and unify the entire continent under the dragon flag of Qi." Qin Li said.
