Uncle Xiao Qi lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I didn't pay much attention to this."

At this time, another man in his thirties stood up. "It's not the eldest lady's handwriting. I remember that I specifically asked Jiang Jiulang why it wasn't the eldest lady's handwriting. He said it was Miss Ying'er's handwriting.

Miss Ying'er wrote it on her behalf. So I didn't ask again."

Li Ying gritted her teeth angrily. "You idiots. If it is really important to change the time, wouldn't I write to you personally? I would also ask Ying'er to write it for you. How many times have you met Ying'er?

Did you write a secret letter for me?"

When the nine people below saw the eldest lady getting angry, they were too frightened to speak. They also knew that the mistake they made this time was really big. If they really wanted to talk about the crime, it would not be an exaggeration to fear beheading.

"Come here, drag Xiao Qijiu down, and give each of them thirty sticks first." Li Ying saw that several people were silent, then she calmly ordered down below.

Immediately, several big men walked out of the door, trying to drag Xiao Qi and others away. Mr. Qu was standing with Yu Ren at this time, and he touched Yu Ren lightly.

Yu Ren understood immediately and stood up immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Yu Ren first stopped several big men who were about to drag people away, and then said to Li Ying who was sitting on the stage: "Miss, in my opinion, although Uncle Xiao Qishu and the nine others were at fault, it was because of

After being deceived by Jiang Jiulang, nothing happened to us. On the contrary, we accidentally captured Zhong San. If Uncle Xiao Qi and the others arrived in time, maybe Zhong Laosan would see that the situation was not good and seize the ship instead.

Escaped.

This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise for us! It can also be said to be God’s will. So, if we calculate it this way, not only do Uncle Xiao and the others have no fault, but they have made merit."

Almost all of the people present were elites from the Li family in Zhejiang. They did not expect that Yu Ren would actually stand up and plead for the people who almost killed him. They also did not expect that Yu Ren would actually say that there is no fault but merit.

.The big belly and wit he displayed made these people begin to raise Yu Ren's status to another level in their hearts.

Xiao Qishu and the others were even more grateful when they heard Yu Ren plead for them. He was the victim! Not everyone can do this kind of big belly. At least Xiao Qishu thought he couldn't do it. But

, the young man in front of me did it.

This upgraded the level of admiration for Yu Ren to worship among Xiao Qishu and the others. The admiration was due to Yu Ren's talent in this battle, while the admiration was due to his big belly that did not forget his past grudges. This was completely a kind of

The charm of personality has nothing to do with ability.

"Mr. Yu, thank you. However, we have to accept this punishment voluntarily. I, Xiao Qi, have stayed in our Li family for thirty years. I have been with you since our family was in Luzon.

Later, when I arrived in Zhejiang, the eldest lady assigned me to be the second-in-command on Daqu Mountain. I knew that I actually didn’t have the ability.

But the eldest lady thinks highly of me, an old man, so how can I not do my best to help our Li family! Now that such a big mistake has happened, since Jiang Jiulang, the big boss, has run away, the responsibility should be borne by me. I am also willing

I will bear all the responsibility, and I just hope that the eldest lady will not embarrass the other leaders.

As long as the eldest lady does not drive me away, I am willing to accept any punishment; even if it means beheading, Xiao Qi will never frown."

Having said this, Xiao Qi couldn't help but shed tears. These were not sad tears, but emotional tears. They were a sign of his loyalty to the Li family.

After hearing these affectionate words from Xiao Qi, many people shed tears silently. Because among the leaders present, many of them are actually the same as Xiao Jiu. Some have been working in the Li family since they were young, and some are even several years old.

Generations of people are in the Li family. The Li family caravan is their home and their heaven. For the Li family caravan, they will give everything, including their lives.

Yu Ren also felt the solemnity of the surrounding atmosphere. He really didn't expect that the Li family was just a caravan, but it could have such a loyal group of subordinates. This is probably what later generations of business management will talk about: the employees' destination for the company.

feel!

Yu Ren somewhat understood: why Li Ying was able to bring the complex maritime arena on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty under her control so quickly. This was of course related to Mr. Qu's strategy, but more importantly, she had such a loyal group of people.

Fuji's subordinates.

These people are the greatest wealth to the Li family.

Seeing that Li Ying still didn't speak, Yu Ren was about to speak again. Reason told him that he must not punish Xiao Qi at this time. Otherwise, other leaders would feel chilled. This rare centripetal force would also disappear.

Li Ying stood up at this time. She personally walked down from the stage and helped Xiao Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

"Uncle Xiao! Get up! You have been fearful at sea with my father for decades, and you have done a lot for our Li family! At your age, you should have spent the peaceful days with my father in the East. It is Li Ying who is sorry for you.

Because of me, you will have to follow us young people on the sea for half a hundred years and get tired. Li Ying feels very sorry!"

After saying that, Li Ying bowed deeply to Uncle Xiao Qi and did not mention the punishment just now. Xiao Qi quickly supported Li Ying and said, "Miss, you have broken my old man. As long as you have orders, I will

Xiao Qidao Mountain is in a sea of ​​fire, and he will not give up even if he dies."

At this time, the people around also shouted, "For the eldest lady, I will die even if I die. For the eldest lady, I will die even if I die."

Li Ying turned to look at these subordinates, feeling moved in her heart, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes. At this time, in Li Ying's heart, she realized for the first time that she also had feelings for everyone here.

A responsibility. They followed him at sea and on land and worked hard. Many people could not even marry and have children in their lifetime.

"Everyone has shown kindness to our Li family and to me, Li Ying. I, Li Ying, will never forget it for the rest of my life. Li Ying hereby swears that she will never leave you all in this life. I know that you are just like me. We overseas Chinese will never forget everything in our lives."

What we are asking for is not a high-ranking official with a generous salary, nor a beautiful wife and beautiful home. We just want to do our duty and live a peaceful life.

It is enough to have food to eat, clothing to wear, a home and not to be bullied by the government or the squires!

Don’t worry, everyone, your wish is also my Li Ying’s wish. I will keep it in my heart and never forget it. For this goal, Li Ying will definitely try her best. If I don’t finish it in one year, I will work hard.

Years; Ten years are not perfect, I will work hard for ten years; even if it costs my life, Li Ying will not hesitate."

Li Ying's words made the crowd watching below even more excited, because Li Ying's words truly expressed their feelings. Such a goal is their ideal in this life! That is what the Chinese often say

Utopia. I don’t know who was the first to shout: “Long live the eldest lady!”

So, other people also shouted "Long live the eldest lady!" This heartfelt shout resounded through the sky, echoing the waves in the distance.

Just when everyone was excited, a person suddenly ran in from outside. As soon as the person ran into the meeting hall, he quickly knelt down on one knee, raised his fist and said, "Report, Miss Shi Tingzhu has escaped."

Seeing how excited everyone was, Li Ying felt that the pressure on her shoulders was getting heavier. Suddenly hearing the news, Li Ying was shocked. "How did he escape?"

"He, he escaped by breaking the window. This guy has been very honest since he was kidnapped, and he has never caused any trouble. There was no warning about what happened today. At that time, Xiao Er was talking to Brother Niu about Leader Jiang's escape.

When the incident occurred, the Shitingzhu suddenly crashed out of the window and fled towards the seaside.

The younger one and Brother Niu hurried to catch up, but still couldn't catch up.

Therefore, the younger one quickly came to report to the eldest lady and the leaders."

Li Ying frowned. She was really worried. This Shi Tingzhu had a strong hand. She originally thought he was just a down-and-out martial artist, so she took him in. However, from his cooperation with Jiang Jiulang to assassinate Yu Ren

It seems that his identity should not be so simple.

"Is he also a member of the government?" Li Ying was unsure. She had already learned from Zhong Laosan that they had hijacked a merchant ship flying the Li family's flag at sea this time, and then according to Chen Qiandao's plan to confront the Li family,

It was not the secret support of Xu Xinsu and Xu Erye. It was actually someone else who supported him.
