Jinzhou City is now the core city of Liaodong. All trains entering and leaving Shanhaiguan pass through Jinzhou. Full circulation of people has created a prosperous economy. Jinzhou can be said to be the most industrialized city in the Ming Dynasty, because Jinzhou has been through wars. Most of the buildings in the city

Including the city walls were ruthlessly destroyed by the war, so Jinzhou is almost a newly built city.

The city is full of matchbox-like buildings. Seeing the familiar reinforced concrete jungle in the land of Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao felt a sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, the reason for coming to Jinzhou this time was not very exciting.

There are many factories in Jinzhou. As long as urbanites are not stupid, almost everyone of working age has a job. With a job, there is income, and with income, there is purchasing power. Driven by huge amounts of capital, business has developed in a blowout style.

This time when Li Xiao arrived in Jinzhou, he did not take his own special train, nor did he notify the local leaders. Shunzi led several skilled guards to guard Li Xiao, and sat in two adjacent carriages.

More than two hundred guards in makeup.

When he got on the bus, the policeman felt that the atmosphere was very strange. With his vicious eyes, he actually saw that these people were carrying guns, and the policeman's face immediately turned green. A guard pulled him aside and took out a small red notebook and gave it to him

look.

And he told the policeman in a very threatening manner that as long as he told the police, he would have any kind of conversation with you.

The policemen were very nervous and would not dare to wander around in these carriages again even if they were killed. There were a large group of guys with guns. Whoever dared to cause trouble here would be in trouble.

After getting off the train, Li Xiao took Cheng Tiezhu beside him and went straight to the local government office.

Li Xiao knew that Cheng Tiezhu's appearance was definitely supported by Pao Ze around him. At the same time, it also meant that what happened to him had made the soldiers feel sad.

The soldier demobilization system is a policy to support the army deliberately created by Li Xiao. After the soldiers in the army serve, they will work as some of the most basic servants in the local area. Although they are not officials, they have stable jobs and good remuneration.

The status of the Liao Army as the cornerstone of the empire is unshakable, and the Liao Army's status in this country should also be the highest. At the same time, this group of people is also the most supportive of the current imperial court.

Unfortunately! It is precisely because of the great benefits of demobilizing Liao soldiers that some people have made their own plans.

Today's Jinzhou Chief Executive Si Yamen is a five-story building with two three-story annexes on both sides. Looking inside from the gate, it is very solemn and majestic. There are two huge stone lions at the door, which Li Xiao looks like

It is larger than the two at the Meridian Gate. The large steps, which are more than two feet high, are entirely made of white marble. Under the sun, the white marble steps are dazzlingly white. The two glass doors are as unattainable as the heavenly palace.

Today Li Xiao is wearing a shabby military coat, with a long-eared cotton hat often worn by the Liao army on his head. Shunzi and the others behind them are also similar to Li Xiao. If there is any difference, it is that the military coats on their bodies are more shabby.

The military coat Shunzi was wearing even had a big hole on her butt, revealing the cotton underneath, which looked very funny.

There were young guards on both sides of the door standing guard with wooden sticks in their hands. When they saw Li Xiao and the group of shabbily dressed guys, they immediately came to stop them.

"What do you do?" The guard wore a cap on his head and looked up and down at Li Xiao and the others. When he saw the outfits worn by Li Xiao and the others, he blew out a puff of white air from his nose and glared at Li Xiao through his nostrils.

et al.

"Let's come to Secretary Niu and ask about the resettlement of demobilized soldiers." Cheng Tiezhu nodded and bowed to the big cap, with a flattering smile on his face. Perhaps thinking that Li Xiao was by his side, he straightened his back again. However, he still handed over the hand

Taking out a pack of cigarettes, Li Xiao glanced at it and saw that it was still Greater China.

"Niu Shuli! I'm not at work. Come back tomorrow." The clerk took the cigarette, put it into his pocket naturally, and said impatiently while waving a small wooden stick.

"Today is not a day for rest, why don't you go to work?" Li Xiao looked at the guards and frowned. The proud Liao soldiers under his command were actually made things difficult for them by two guards when they arrived at the place.

"What do you do? You can ask about adults' matters. Go home quickly and come back tomorrow if you like." The guard was very impatient, and his gestures to shoo Li Xiao away were like shooing away flies.

"Then when we come tomorrow, we can see Secretary Niu?" Cheng Tiezhu asked.

"It depends on your mood. If the clerk is in a good mood tomorrow, he may come to work. Let's go! Let's go!" After the clerk said this, he turned around and walked back. I told these people all this for the sake of Greater China.

.

Shunzi was sure that these two young government servants were going to be in trouble. The clerk Niu was not much better, and even the chief envoy of Jinzhou was going to be in trouble. Behind Li Xiao, he had already seen Li Xiao's trembling body. So

After many years, only Mr. Hu can make the handsome man look like this.

The problem is that Mr. Tiger is the younger brother of the Marshal. Even if he is angry with the Marshal, it is still a quarrel between brothers. This great scribe and the chief envoy are just...!

Li Xiao was still lucky, and two more elderly people came to do business. As a result, the two guards didn't even bother to talk and pushed the two old people out. They also threatened to have their legs broken if they dared to make trouble again.

Li Xiao rushed over and helped the old man who fell on the ground.

"Uncle! Auntie! What are you here to do?"

"Hey...! My son followed Marshal Li to the northwest to fight, and he died there. We came to ask about the solace money, and it turned out...! The yamen door really opens to the south. Don't come in if you don't have money or power. We poor people don't even have the gate.

I can't even get in." The old lady wiped away her tears as she spoke.

"What the hell!" Li Xiao felt like his chest was going to explode with anger.

"Big...! Big brother, don't be angry, you'll be so angry." Shunzi hurriedly came over and helped Li Xiao smooth his back, almost letting the words slip out of his mouth.

Li Xiao let out a long breath, and the mist sprayed out of his mouth was a foot long.

"Uncle! Aunt! Get up quickly. It's cold. The ground is cold. Don't freeze." Li Xiao helped the old couple up.

"Thank you so much, young man, hey...!" The two old men wiped their tears and thanked Li Xiao.

Li Xiao straightened up and ordered with a cold face: "Break your legs!"

Shunzi waved to the guards behind him, and two guards walked over.

"What are you doing? This is Jinzhou Chief Envoy Si Yamen. If you make trouble here, let the Jinyi guards come to arrest you." Seeing the fierce looks of the two guards, the two Yamen servants immediately became nervous. They waved the wooden sticks in their hands and pointed at the two guards.

The guards beat him.

Li Xiao's bodyguards were all masters selected from the Cangzhou martial arts den. They dodged the wooden sticks. The wooden sticks fell into their hands. By the way, they kicked their calves directly, and the two yamen servants were killed.

In the blink of an eye, he was thrown to the ground.

The wooden stick in his hand was rounded and hit the officer's knee. With two screams, the officer twitched in pain in the snow.

"Crack!" Two sticks hit the knee of their other leg again. Li Xiao didn't say anything, so they naturally didn't ask whether it was one leg or two legs.

"Come on, let's go in and ask the Chief Envoy how dare he treat my soldiers like this." Li Xiao snorted and took the lead into the Chief Envoy's Yamen.

When they saw one of their own being beaten, several government servants rushed out of the concierge at the door. All of them were carrying wooden sticks in their hands. Several guards rushed over. Only a few screams were heard, and everyone lay on the ground wailing. This was still

It was the result of the guards holding back, otherwise the ground would have been covered with corpses.

The Chief Envoy and the people in the Yamen were all stunned. They did not expect that someone would break in. You must know that inciting chaos and breaking into state offices without permission is a capital crime.

The old couple held Li Xiao's hands tightly, preventing Li Xiao from moving forward. Although they were bullied by the guards, they never thought of attacking the Yamen. This was beyond the limit of what their nerves could bear!

"Let's go in. Don't be afraid! It's okay!" Li Xiao said lightly, but the old couple was almost scared to death.

I dragged the two elderly people into the Yamen. It was very strenuous to climb the two-foot-high steps. When they reached the top, the elderly people had already begun to pant.

The guards had already taken control of the glass, and there were two people lying on the ground. They seemed to be from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.

Entering the Chief Envoy's Yamen Hall, Li Xiao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There was a huge crystal chandelier above his head, and two huge pillars on both sides, completely wrapped in marble. The pillars looked larger than the waist of an elephant.

It's rough. It's so cold outside that it can freeze a dog to death, but after entering the hall, the hot air hits your face, making your face feel numb and itchy.

There is a vase placed in front of each pillar. The vase is more than two meters high and has gold and enamel carvings on it. The floor is also marble tiles, and a scarlet carpet is spread from the door to the stairs.

The walls on both sides are decorated with marble stickers. On one side is a scene of workers making steel, and on the other side is a scene of Liao soldiers fighting.

The most ironic thing is that in the most conspicuous place on the front of the hall, there are portraits of Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong. Oriental paintings are usually freehand, and there are very few realistic ones. These two portraits must have been painted by Western painters. The ink and color are heavy.

He painted Li Xiao as heroic and heroic, and Sun Chengzong as wise as an immortal.

Li Xiao doesn't remember anyone painting him in oil. The origin of these two portraits is very suspicious. But looking at the eyebrows and eyes, they look very similar to himself, very similar!

Ask the guards to grab someone and take him directly to the Chief Envoy's study. These days, books are the same as offices in later generations. They are places of work.

The man who was caught had a muscle in his calf and refused to take Li Xiao and the others away. Shunzi walked over and slapped his mouth twice. Then he took out a pistol and put it against his head!

"If you don't lead the way, I'll beat you to death now."

A hero does not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. The guy in front of him was obviously a hero. Facing the black muzzle of the gun, he immediately betrayed the chief envoy. He led Li Xiao and others up the stairs and through the red carpeted corridor.

Go to a room on the top floor.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a guy in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a Shu brocade jacket.

"Who are you and who are you looking for?" The man with glasses looked at Li Xiao. He felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Get out of the way!" Shunzi didn't talk nonsense to him and stretched out his hand to push the person away. The man still wanted to speak, but a guard behind him punched him in the face. The lenses of his glasses were broken and his face was covered with blood.

I approached the door of Chief Minister Liao Pengju's study and twisted the door lock, but it didn't turn. The door was locked from the inside!

"Boom!" The heavy solid wood door was kicked open, and a woman's scream came from inside.

The study room is very large, and the desk is as big as a double bed. But it still looks like a matchbox inside! Against the wall, there is a huge glass fish tank. There are two small sharks swimming in it, leaning against the window.

There was a solid wood shelf, with a macaw with towering phoenix feathers squatting on it. Its size was half a foot larger than the little white one Xiaoyu bought.

The chief envoy Liao Pengju was wearing a cloth coat at this time, and he was holding a woman who was also wearing very little in his arms. This guy also had a short haircut, but his hair was already starting to go bald. He could only maintain it by supporting the central government from the local government.

Wearing a middle-parted hairstyle.

"What do you do?" Liao Pengju jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

After jumping up, everyone could see more clearly. This guy was actually only wearing a pair of small pants, with his fat thighs and big belly exposed.

"Come to complain!" Li Xiao walked out from behind Shunzi.

When he saw that it was Li Xiao who came out, Liao Pengju was so frightened. He was much more knowledgeable than the clerk outside. He had seen Li Xiao, more than once. The most recent time was when Li Xiao came to Jinzhou three months ago.

During inspection!

"Big...! Big...! Big...!" The tongue suddenly suffered from a functional disorder. It lasted for a long time, but the handsome word behind it could not be said.

"You've done a good job as the chief envoy!" Li Xiao said with a sullen face and walked to Liao Pengju's desk with his hands behind his back. The woman had already crawled under the table. Anyway, the table was very big and it was estimated that neither of them would be able to crawl under it.

question.

"Commander! Have mercy on me!" Liao Peng finally regained his speech function, and with a "pop", he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiao.

"Spare your life! Okay! Can you give me a reason?"

"...!" Liao Pengju's eyes darted around, really thinking about the reason.

"I didn't think of the reasons for sparing you, but I thought of many reasons for killing you. You allowed your subordinates to deduct the pensions of military families, and you erected a fence to separate the court from the people. You played with women in the study in broad daylight.

You are extravagantly squandering national funds.

These...!" Li Xiao moved his hand in the study, "I can see it all. Tell me, how can I not kill you?"

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Liao Pengju slumped on the ground like mud. He knew Li Xiao's temperament as the king of hell, and this time he might really die. How could he be so unlucky that the commander-in-chief suddenly broke into his study.
