Zhao Xun went to Li Xun and told him some things. Zhao Zhi planned to reuse Li Xun and let him go to Longyou as a military envoy.

After Li Xun heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Zhao Xun took a sip of tea and saw that Li Xun had not spoken for a long time. He chuckled and said, "Don't be burdened. Father has confidence in you."

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor's uncle has confidence in me, I am very grateful, but I have no confidence in myself! To be honest, I have never thought about it."

"It doesn't matter whether you are disciplined or not."

Zhao Xun said: "My father only has the intention of letting you go to Longyou to take charge of the military affairs of one side. As for whether you will be the military governor, it is not certain yet. You should not have too much psychological burden."

Li Xun sighed: "It's true that the emperor's uncle removed all my official positions at one moment, and then used me so highly. To be honest, I was a little unable to react, and my heart was heavy. I was afraid that if I didn't do well, I would offend him.

If you are angry, you will also lose the face of your aunt and cousin."

"Dog, you are worrying too much. If you think of some things as simple, then they are very simple. If you think of them as complicated, then they will be very complicated. It depends on how you think and look at them."

Zhao Xun glanced at Li Xun and said pointedly: "Mother has very high expectations for you."

"I'm afraid I can't do it."

"If you don't try, how will you know it won't work? And... some things are no longer up to you."

Li Xun nodded and said silently: "Since the emperor's uncle thinks highly of me, I will work hard and accomplish something great."

Zhao Xun's eyes showed admiration. He thought that Li Xun would say the same thing as before, not asking for merit but seeking no fault. It was obvious that Li Xun had understood the truth.

Li Xun is actually very satisfied with the current situation. He doesn't have much money, but it is enough for his whole life. He came out to be an official just to have fun and have fun. But sometimes, once you get on the ship, it will be difficult to think about getting off.

Yes, Fan Zhongyun and Li Yi have told Li Xun several times about the truth. Even Zhao Xun has vaguely mentioned it. After hearing so much, if Li Xun still doesn’t understand the truth, then he is really a fool.

........

On the third day of the lunar new year, Liu Xie came to visit me.

Li Mancang no longer had any relatives in his family, just himself, his sons Li Xun and Li Yi, so on the third day of the lunar new year, other people were still visiting each other in a lively manner, but they had calmed down.

On that day, there was nothing going on anyway, so Li Xun made an appointment with Liu Xie to come to his house to talk about some things.

"Have a prosperous New Year, General."

Liu Xie knelt down on one knee and gave Li Xun a military salute. Behind him, there were three men kneeling on the ground and kowtow several times.

"Everyone who is celebrating the New Year, don't do this, get up!"

"Yes, General."

Liu Xie and others stood up, looking at Li Xun with bright eyes.

Li Xun glanced at a few people, drank a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you!"

"General, these three are all my brothers. We have known each other for many years and can definitely be trusted."

These three people are all around thirty years old, and they are not very old. They are called Li Jiuyuan, Hu Zengsi, and Chen Hengan. These three people are the best among the rangers in the capital. To put it bluntly, they are in the underworld.

Yes, I have a great reputation in this industry.

After Liu Xie finished his introduction, Li Xun glanced at them and said softly: "Zhu Zhengguo should have briefly told you something. I have nothing to say. Follow me and get fame and fortune. I will give it to you. You guys are on patrol for the time being."

If you have the post of corps commander in the hospital, and you have merit in the future, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"I am willing to serve the general to the best of my ability."

Li Jiuyuan, Hu Zengsi, and Chen Heng'an were overjoyed. They knelt down again and banged their heads with thirst. They expressed their sincerity. It was their first meeting with Li Xun. There was no question of trust or distrust, but Liu Xie and Liu Xie

But they are very familiar with each other. This boy was just an errand boy before. How long has it been since he joined the Inspectorate and followed Li Xun? He has already become a captain. This is a sixth-grade military attache. Perhaps in

In the eyes of some people, it is nothing, but in their eyes, this is a high-ranking official, and at least he can show off his power and return home in glory.

"For specific matters, please follow Zhu Zhengguo's arrangements. This general has always made clear rewards and punishments. You can get confirmation of this from Liu Xie. Okay, you can retreat first and Liu Xie will stay."

"Yes, General."

Li Jiuyuan, Hu Zengsi, and Chen Hengan bowed and then withdrew.

Li Xun glanced at Liu Xie and said quietly: "Can you trust these people?"

"If there is a future for following the general, their sincerity should not be a problem."

Liu Xie thought for a while and said earnestly: "These people are very popular in the capital. They are quite famous among the rangers and are very well-informed. If the general wants to establish his own information channels, they will definitely be able to do their best.

Big effect.”

Li Xun pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and smiled at Liu Xie: "Liu Xie, I trust you very much. Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi are busy with the affairs of the Inspection Institute, so it will be difficult for you to take care of other things.

If you do well, I will never treat you badly."

Li Xun gave Zhu Zhengguo 100,000 taels of silver as the initial capital. The specific operation needed to be carried out by professionals. Li Xun asked Liu Xie to find someone to do it. Liu Xie had done business in this area before and knew many people on the road.

As a ranger, it was perfect for him to do this. Liu Xie was extremely concerned about this matter and felt lucky for his original decision. From nothing, a gangster at the bottom of society, he followed Li

Xun, in just over a year, achieved the position of captain. For him, it was like a dream, and he firmly believed in his determination to follow Li Xun.

Liu Xie suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed deeply: "I am willing to serve the general to the death."

Li Xun smiled and didn't say anything. He never believed in beautiful words. But for now, the sincerity expressed by Liu Xie just now should be relatively sincere. After all... following him, there is still something to be said for him.

It has a great future, and Liu Xie has no reason to have second thoughts for the time being.

"What are you going to do?"

"General, the sources and channels of information usually come from the officials themselves, and there are generally three places where officials go most, one is a brothel, the other is a casino, and the third is a high-end restaurant."

Liu Xie spoke eloquently. After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xun and saw that he was deep in thought, so he continued: "The one hundred thousand taels of silver given by the general looked like a lot, but in fact it was not much. Open a decent restaurant."

The casino has some shortcomings, and involves too many things, and the internal and external relations are too responsible. One hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to open a large-scale brothel, but the reputation and accumulation of a brothel cannot be formed in a short time. A brothel without a reputation is very difficult to build.

It is difficult to attract enough officials to support them, which is not conducive to the collection of information..."

Li Xun thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "You can make up your own mind, I only look at the results."
