In order to dissuade Yang Qingxiao from doing anything randomly, Li Ling spent all his time in the middle of the night and did not go to bed until the fourth day of the day, which made him get up much later the next day than usual.

Fortunately, today's rest - according to the regulations of the Great Vietnamese, officials will rest for ten days - so there is no need to worry about anything else. Li Ling did not get up and wash slowly until the sun was over three o'clock, but when he went out, he saw the blood-covered eyes and the slightly anxious and haggard face of the owner of his eyes.

Obviously, Yang Qingxiao was unable to fall asleep that night, but she waited in front of Li Ling's door early. Li Yue'er beside her was also quite surprised to look at this and then that, and she wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak. However, Yang Qingxiao came out to speak first when she saw Li Ling: "Li...Brother Li, are you free today? Can you go with me to see a few people?"

Li Ling immediately understood her intention, obviously she wanted to take him to meet the Cao Gang members and see if he could convince others. After all, such a big thing could not be decided by her. After all, he nodded and responded: "Okay, it just so happened that I was resting today, so I had nothing to do."

Yang Qingxiao breathed a little relieved: "Then let's go now..."

"No hurry, you have to go out after meals. You can calm your mood, otherwise it might be counterproductive!" Li Ling hurriedly advised. Yang Qingxiao also knew that her condition was unstable, so she responded softly: "I will wait for you outside the door in half an hour." After that, she turned around and left.

It was not until she left that Yue'er came up with curiosity: "Brother, it's so strange. Sister Yang went out again last night, and then she didn't come back until dawn like before, but she came back soon... She, can't she have anything to do, right?"

Li Ling glanced at her sister who knew nothing and smiled gently: "Don't worry, it's okay. After today, it's the same as before."

Yue'er responded in a slight sense of understanding. Although she always felt that Sister Yang had something to do and now she even hid something important to her brother from her, she was sensible and did not blindly ask. Because she believed that if something happened, her brother would tell her in time.

Half an hour later, Li Ling went out and saw that the carriage that brought him back had already been parked in front of the door. Without hesitation, he entered the carriage familiarly and saw Yang Qingxiao napping against the wall of the carriage.

When the carriage was shaken, she quickly woke up again, looked at Li Ling and ordered: "Let's go!"

The coachman agreed, and the carriage slowly moved. Li Ling took the opportunity to sit opposite her and said with a smile: "Do you want me to persuade the other brothers of the Cao Gang to not act recklessly?"

Yang Qingxiao rubbed her forehead with her hand and said softly: "I thought about it for a long time last night. What you said really makes sense. If countless brothers and their families were killed by killing him, it would be too unprofitable and not what Dad wanted to see.

"But, I really can't speak this, and I can't even convince myself completely, so I have to rely on you. Also, is it true that you can help us take revenge in a safer way? Can you really get rid of Liu Runsheng using official means?"

Although Li Ling nodded seriously, he smiled bitterly in his heart. What a joke? He was in a hurry last night and said this in order to convince the other party. How could he have a definite idea? He was the governor of Jiangnan, a second-rank official in the court, but he was only a seventh-rank governor. The status of the two sides was too far apart.

Even if I really have any strategy to get rid of a senior official at the level of governor, I am afraid that the first thing I have to do is to get rid of the fees of the governor of the Lianghuai who has a grudge against me, and it is still Liu Runsheng's turn?

Yang Qingxiao obviously believed in this and said tentatively: "Can you tell me what plans are first?"

"This... in the final analysis, it's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation. After all, Liu Runsheng became the governor and would inevitably have many political enemies in the court. As long as I seize a chance, I can eliminate him." Li Ling could only say vaguely.

Yang Qingxiao frowned slightly, but did not question it, and just nodded slightly: "I hope you are right to the end."

The carriage walked along the wide street. After walking for more than half an hour, it turned into Chang'anfang on the south side of the inner city and finally stopped in front of a teahouse.

Compared to the Dongcheng area where Li Ling lives, it is obviously much more lively. There are many shops and restaurants, which are a bit like the East and West City. Many nearby people are too lazy to go to the market farther away to shop and consume, so they gather here directly, which makes all the shops have a good business, including this teahouse called "Qingxinju".

Li Ling followed Yang Qingxiao into the door and went upstairs, climbing straight to the third floor, and no one came up to ask along the way. It was obvious that this teahouse was also an industry of the Cao Gang in the capital.

When he came to the innermost elegant seat and pushed the door open, Li Ling immediately felt a lot of pressure coming towards him. There were seven or eight big men sitting or standing there. On the wide long table, there were not only huge copper pots and large porcelain bowls, but also several swords and swords. There were two long weapons leaning against the wall, which shone cold light under the sunlight. These people turned back to look at Li Ling's scrutiny, which made people feel more palpitations than the cold light of the weapons.

"Miss, he is..." A strong man with a rough appearance and an iron tower asked curiously with two broom eyebrows.

Yang Qingxiao seemed quite imposing at this time and waved her hands and said, "Don't be nervous, this Li Ling and Young Master Li are the newly hired entrusted by our Cao Gang this year, and they are all their own people."

"Li Ling..." Another gentleman looked at Li Ling with a smile, "I remembered that in the battle of Taiping, it seemed that you had some force, so the gang leader led you as a sacrifice. But I heard that you are an official of the court, why did you come to see us?"

Although he was looking at the question asked by Li Ling, he was actually targeting Yang Qingxiao. Before she could speak, Li Ling had already spoken: "Because Miss Yang feels that your actions are too reckless and risky this time, it is likely to cause a catastrophe to the entire Cao Gang, so I asked me to come and dissuade you. After all, I am a court official at least, and some things can be seen more clearly than you who are in the world."

Yang Qingxiao and these people in the Cao Gang made a whisper at almost the same time, and everyone showed surprise, especially Yang Qingxiao. She stared at Li Ling in surprise, wanting to ask why he told the matter so easily. Is this too hasty?

After a while, someone reacted and stared at him and said, "You...what do you mean?"

"Don't say secret words in front of the bright people. I can understand that you want to assassinate Liu Runsheng to take revenge, but this matter is endless, so I still hope that you can give up this idea and avenge in a more stable way." Li Lingran looked at them one by one without fear, and then pulled over a chair and sat down casually.

这等说辞,这等作派,还真就把一屋子汉子都给镇住了.也是直到这时,反应过来的杨轻绡才猜到了李凌这是打的先声夺人的主意,以求一开始就掌握主动.这让她眼中闪过一丝欣赏的光芒来,这个男人还真比自己所想的更有胆魄,也更有谋略啊.

李凌确实是打的这个主意,因为在开门看到里头这些漕帮汉子后,他就能察觉出他们身上那股子桀骜不驯,吃硬不吃软的特性来.这是典型的江湖豪客的作派,所以绝不能用官场那套迂回隐晦的说辞来打动他们,就该一上来便单刀直入,从而压制住他们的气焰,如此才有往下谈的可能.

After a while, someone hummed disdainfully: "What do you, a scholar, know? Our more than 400 brothers were killed by Liu Runsheng. This hatred is irreconcilable. How could you forget it in just one word?"

"Miss, why did you tell him such an important thing?"

"Yes, Miss, although he is our worshipper, he is still a member of the government. If the news is leaked, it will be nothing if we die, but what should we do if we can't avenge you?"

For a moment, everyone expressed their dissatisfaction, and a few guys stared at Li Ling with malicious intentions, as if they could pounce on him at any time.

李凌的心跳也不觉有些加快,但面上却看不出半点紧张的情绪来,只平静地与他们一一对视:“既然我为漕帮供奉,就有资格知道帮内大小事务.更有资格代表漕帮上下几万兄弟,几十万家眷的利益,我现在只问你们一句话,如此行事,你们就没有考虑过后果,考虑过那些可能被你们牵连的无辜之人吗?”

"You...what do you mean?"

"Why, you didn't even understand this level?" Li Ling sneered, "You don't really think it's so easy to kill a second-rank governor of the court. You won't be investigated by the government afterwards, right?"

"Isn't it just a death? We have long put life and death aside. As long as we can kill Liu Runsheng to take revenge, we will die without regrets!"

Li Ling sighed again and shook his head: "What is your life and death? But do you think that once the incident occurs, the court will only pursue the sins of you? I am afraid that at that time, the entire Cao Gang will be dragged into the abyss because of your rebellious actions. The deaths will no longer be ten or twenty people, but thousands of Cao Gang brothers. Have you really thought about it, for the sake of the hatred of hundreds of people, the family members lost their lives?"
