Yue Buqun looked at Li Huan and said to Li Huan with some guilt: "Sir, did my subordinate say something wrong?"
Li Huan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, glanced at Yue Buqun and said, "Does Yue Baihu know the relationship between the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency and me?"
Hearing what Li Huan said, Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. People like them in the world never thought too much about matters in the officialdom.
They naturally know the past of the Lin family of Fuzhou Fuwei Escort Agency. Lin Yuantu used his 72-way evil-dispelling swordsmanship to defeat almost invincible opponents all over the world. He became famous in the world and even protected the Lin family for decades.
Even to this day, the reputation of the Lin family's seventy-two evil sword techniques is still spread throughout the world.
But they are only paying attention to the Lin family. As for the background of the Lin family, to be honest, no one has really thought about it.
In fact, this is normal. The Lin and Li families were indeed cousins in the previous generation. This relationship is indeed very close. Even in this era, it can be said that the bones are broken and the tendons are connected.
But apart from a very few close people who know about this kind of relationship, how many outsiders would pay attention to it.
Even in future generations, even if you are a close friend, you would not know what kind of relatives the other person has.
What's more, Yue Buqun came to Fuzhou just for the Lin family, and he didn't even think about asking about the Lin family's background. Besides, even if he went to inquire, he might not be able to find out.
Previously, the parents and officials of Huang Wenzheng, the prefect of Fuzhou, did not know about the relationship between the Lin family and Li Huan, and the Fuzhou wealthy businessmen who had been friends with the Lin family for many years did not know about the relationship between the Lin family and Li Huan. It is conceivable that Yue Buqun
It would be strange if we knew the relationship between the Lin family and Li Huan.
Taking a deep breath, Yue Buqun glanced at Li Huan and whispered: "I don't know!"
With a faint glance at Yue Buqun, he knew that when Yue Buqun came to Fuzhou, he must have the idea of repelling evil swords. However, compared to the Qingcheng sect who directly came to kill everyone, Yue Buqun didn't want to kill everyone.
At most, they just want to take advantage of the chaos.
No matter what the intentions are, it's at least better than Qingcheng sending someone to wipe out the entire Lin family, isn't it?
Besides, now that Yue Buqun has surrendered to him, it is natural that Yue Buqun will no longer be interested in the Lin family's ideas in the future.
"The aunt of the escort leader Lin is my grandmother, and the Lin and Li families are cousins!"
"What!"
Yue Buqun had a look of astonishment on his face after hearing Li Huan's words. He obviously didn't expect that the Lin family had such a big backer as Li Huan.
In this era, my cousin is not joking. I dare not say that both prosperity and loss will lead to loss. However, if something happens to the Lin family, the Li family will never stand idly by, not to mention that Yue Buqun heard about the old lady of the Li family not long ago.
But it's still built.
In other words, with the old lady here, the relationship between the Lin and Li families will only become closer, without any alienation. With such a big backer as Li Huan, whoever brings trouble to the Lin family is not asking for death.
!
For a moment, Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't think of doing anything bad to the Lin family. Otherwise, he might have offended someone unknowingly today.
Yue Buqun said quickly: "I don't know the relationship between you and the Lin family. I had previously thought of using the Lin family's sword manual to ward off evil. Please forgive me!"
Li Huan waved his hand and said: "As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty, and you don't know the relationship between the Lin family and me. Besides, you haven't done anything to the Lin family either!"
After coming back to his senses, Yue Buqun also reacted. He was only worried about his future, but he forgot that he just had some thoughts about the Lin family but did not take any action.
While exhaling, Yue Buqun said: "Back to your lord, my subordinates have found out that the Qingcheng Sect sent people here a few days ago. Now the leader Yu Canghai has brought people out of Sichuan and Sichuan. I'm afraid it's the right person."
Coming to Fuzhou Prefecture. It is impossible to say that those Qingcheng Sect disciples have figured out the reality of the Fuwei Escort Agency and are going to do harm to the Lin family."
Li Huan chuckled and said, "Come on, you're just a Qingcheng sect. If you want to take advantage of the Lin family, you have to see if I agree first."
Just as the meal was almost finished, I heard a loud voice saying: "Cousin, cousin, I heard that you are going back to Langqi Island, can you take me with you? I haven't seen my aunt for some time.
"
I saw a strong, handsome and tall senior man walking over under the guidance of a military captain in royal robes. Who else could he be if he wasn't Lin Pingzhi?
When he saw Lin Pingzhi, Li Huan had a smile on his lips. To be honest, this was the first time he and Lin Pingzhi had met each other since they had said goodbye that year.
Compared with a few years ago, Lin Pingzhi's whole person has obviously undergone earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning, Lin Pingzhi looked extremely handsome, fair and tender, with the demeanor of a rich man. But now he is obviously much stronger than before, especially when he walks, he is calm and powerful, and his eyes are shining.
, is obviously a manifestation of successful cultivation.
While Li Huan was sizing up Lin Pingzhi, Lin Pingzhi was also sizing up his cousin.
In Lin Pingzhi's view, his cousin's experience in the past few years was simply a legend. Back then, he only had one hundred households. He thought that after entering Beijing, he would become silent.
Unexpectedly, he was blessed with great fortune and won the favor of the emperor. Since then, he has been on a meteoric rise and has been out of control. Now he is even more respected as the commander and advisor of the Imperial Guards, the governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, and the imperial envoy of the emperor. Any name may be the same as others.
You will never be able to touch it if you work hard for a lifetime.
But this cousin of mine has achieved such success at a young age.
Of course, what touched Lin Pingzhi the most was that before Li Huan arrived in Fuzhou City, he helped the Lin family through a difficult time because of his identity and the relationship between the two families.
The wealthy businessmen who previously blocked the door of their Lin family now not only dare not block the door of their house anymore, they even actively come to curry favor with the Lin family and leave a lot of noise to their Lin family's Fuwei Escort Agency.
As for Li Huan's arrival in Fuzhou City and his killing spree, Lin Pingzhi is no longer the simple and naive rich man he was back then.
Lin Pingzhi even secretly followed Li Hu, Li Guo and others out to sea to kill pirates, but things were no longer what they used to be.
Lin Pingzhi was naturally on Li Huan's side. He didn't care whether Li Huan killed someone or not. Anyway, as long as they were detrimental to Li Huan, in Lin Pingzhi's opinion, they should be killed.
However, although Lin Pingzhi had changed a lot, his character had not actually changed much. When he saw Li Huan, he immediately forgot all about what Lin Zhennan had told him when he arrived.
Li Huan smiled and stood up to greet Lin Pingzhi. Li Huan was quite happy that Lin Pingzhi was so invisible to him.
His relationship with Lin Pingzhi is not bad. If the friendship between the two becomes estranged because of their respective identities, that is not what he wants to see.
When he got closer, Li Huan punched Lin Pingzhi rudely and said: "Xiao Linzi, come here, let me see if you have been lazy in the past two years."
Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up immediately when he saw this, and he rushed towards Li Huan without hesitation.
If the Jin Yiwei beside him didn't know Lin Pingzhi's identity, he might be tempted to stop him.
With a bang, the two fists collided together, and Lin Pingzhi let out a cry of surprise. His whole body was thrown away by a soft force, and he even sat down on the ground.
Li Huan tested Lin Pingzhi's cultivation progress in the past two years with just one move. It must be said that Lin Pingzhi was stimulated in the past two years, and he really studied hard and practiced hard, and made great progress.
This strength alone may be a little worse than Linghu Chonglai's, but it's not much different.
At least against the Qingcheng faction, unless Yu Canghai takes action himself, no one in the Qingcheng faction can really be Lin Pingzhi's opponent.
Lin Pingzhi stood up and looked at Li Huan in surprise: "Cousin, Uncle Yidao said that my cultivation has made great progress in the past few years. Looking at the world, I am still a second-rate expert. Even if I meet a first-rate
A strong person can also perform a few moves, but now you can't even take one of your moves. You must be progressing too fast."
Next to him, Yue Buqun walked over from Lin Pingzhi, and started fighting with Li Huan without even caring about Li Huan's identity. Combined with the mutual titles between the two, Yue Buqun immediately guessed Lin Pingzhi's identity.
"Is this the young master of the Lin family in Fuzhou? Although his strength is not as good as Chong'er's, he is still considered a leader among his peers. The Lin family in Fuzhou really has a rich family background."
Obviously Lin Zhennan attributed Lin Pingzhi's cultivation to the Lin family's family background.
After all, the Lin family's seventy-two evil sword techniques are famous. Since they have such a great reputation, it is only natural that there are so many martial arts masters among the Lin family's children, right?
Even Yue Buqun is now secretly guessing that Lin Zhennan has been guarding the Fuwei Escort Agency for so many years and has not shown any signs of it. He has not even responded at all to the temptations of many interested people in the world. Isn't this hiding his clumsiness?
When I think that Lin Zhennan may have a strong cultivation level, even if he has half the cultivation level of Lin Yuantu back then, whoever dares to take advantage of the Lin family will probably suffer a big loss.
Yue Buqun couldn't help but think of Yu Canghai, who was coming to Fuzhou with his disciples to look for trouble for the Lin family, and he even started to look forward to it. If Yu Canghai bumped into Lin Zhennan, who was hiding behind his back, he didn't know what his expression would be like.
Li Huan, who was conversing with Lin Pingzhi, probably never dreamed that just because of Lin Pingzhi's performance, Yue Buqun would be confused so much.
When Lin Pingzhi's eyes fell on Forsythia, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he reacted and said to Forsythia: "I have seen my sister-in-law!"
Obviously Lin Pingzhi saw Forsythia dressed like a woman. Needless to say, she must have been taken into the room by her cousin.
Lin Pingzhi naturally knew about the affection between Forsythia and Li Huan after staying in Langqi Island for so long. Therefore, he was not surprised at all when Li Huan took over Forsythia. Instead, he sincerely expressed his love for Forsythia.
Forsythia greets you.
Being called sister-in-law, Forsythia's face turned red with embarrassment, she shook her head and said, "Master Lin, please stop making fun of Forsythia. Forsythia is just a maid next to you. How can you be called Master Lin's sister-in-law?"
"
When Li Huan saw this, he smiled and said, "How can I not do this?"
Forsythia's pretty face turned red and she turned away in embarrassment.
Li Huan shouted at Forsythia's back: "Forsythia, pack your things quickly, we are going home now."
As he spoke, Li Huan looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "How is my cousin doing now?"
Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "My father is in good health. My cousin is worried about me."
Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "I haven't gone to see my cousin in the past few days, but it would be rude. But now I am in a hurry to go back to Langqi Island. After some time, I will visit my cousin in person."
Lin Pingzhi said hurriedly: "What did you say, cousin? My father said that you are now an important minister of the imperial court and busy with official duties. If he were not afraid of delaying your affairs, he would come to see you in person."
Li Huan smiled and said, "It was my fault anyway. I will just apologize to my cousin when the time comes."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yue Buqun who was standing aside. He moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Pingzhi, come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yue Buqun. He is one of the most powerful people in the world today. He usually
If there is anything you don’t understand, you can also ask Mr. Yue for advice."
Lin Pingzhi had actually noticed Yue Buqun standing beside him just now, especially Yue Buqun, who was wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Guard Baihu.
After listening to Li Huan's introduction, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said: "Fuwei Escort Agency, Lin Pingzhi has met Mr. Yue."
It was fine that Yue Buqun didn't know Lin Pingzhi's identity, but since he knew Lin Pingzhi's identity, especially since he had just seen Lin Pingzhi and Li Huan getting along like brothers, he naturally didn't dare to show his identity when he saw Lin Pingzhi.
Pingzhi bowed to him, quickly turned around and cupped his hands, saying: "Young Master Lin is so polite, Yue is too embarrassed to deserve it."
Li Huan looked at Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi, with a smile on his lips and said: "Yue Baihu, Pingzhi is not bad in qualifications and has a good temper. If someone really finds you, you have to give him good advice."
Fan is the one.”
Yue Buqun said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will remember it."
A large ship left the port and headed straight for Langqi Island.
On the same boat were Lin Pingzhi, Yue Buqun, Forsythia, Li Guo, Li Hu, and Zhao Zhi.
As for Chen Yidao and Cao Yu, Li Huan stayed in the Lin family and continued to take charge. After all, Yue Buqun had said before that the Qingcheng faction seemed to be heading towards Fuzhou.
Even he didn't know when Yu Canghai would kill the Lin family, so just in case, he still kept Chen Yidao and Cao Yu.
I believe that with these two people here, even if Yu Canghai really leads people to find trouble for the Lin family, it will be enough to ensure that the Lin family is safe.
Standing on the big ship, the sea breeze blows in front of you, and the coolness is mixed with the faint fishy smell of the sea breeze.
Zhao Zhi was looking at the big ship at his feet with a happy face at this moment.
This big ship is not small at all. It can be said that there were few ships that could compare to this big ship in that port before.
The Li family did not have such a large ship before. You must know that even if you have money, you have no way to buy such a large ship. In the shipyard, such a large ship has long been reserved by those high-ranking officials and wealthy families.
And this one was one of the hundreds of large and small ships that were confiscated from the Cai family's property.
Li Huan had previously brought over a dozen large ships like this to the Li family with just a single stroke. It can be said that the number of ships owned by the Li family now has soared from three or five to forty or fifty.
So many ships.
Moreover, these ships are all the most sophisticated large-scale ships carefully selected by Li Huan. It can be said that ordinary people may not be able to buy these dozens of ships even if they spend tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Sir, our Li family has so many ships all of a sudden, and we are running out of manpower."
These dozens of ships require hundreds of sailors alone. The Li family only had three or five small ships before. Now that the number of ships has increased dramatically, the number of sailors required has not only increased tenfold.
That's what he said, but just looking at the joyful smile on Zhao Zhi's face, you can tell that this is completely the trouble of happiness.
Zhao Zhi is almost like the big housekeeper of the Li family. It can be said that the Li family has received so many benefits this time, and Zhao Zhi is definitely one of the happiest people.
Glancing at Zhao Zhi, Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Zhi, go and recruit people. This time, the Cai family, Gu family and other families were confiscated and exterminated. After careful screening, the sailors who relied on them for food were completely fine."
Come and listen to me."
Zhao Zhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, young master, I have already ordered people to recruit people. They will definitely help young master take care of Li's family business in order."
While he was talking, two small boats appeared on the sea. When the two small boats saw the Li family flag flying on the big ship from a distance, they immediately rushed to meet it.
Zhao Zhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw the two boats, and he quickly said to Li Huan: "Young master, it should be the madam. The old madam has sent someone to greet the young master."
At this moment, Li Huan also saw that the people on the two small boats were several elders of the Li family. Needless to say, it was naturally the Feng family and the old lady Lin who asked these people to come.
After greeting with flags, two small boats led the way. Not long after, Li Huan's boat stopped at a pier.
When Li Huan and others stepped off the boat, they saw several clan elders approaching Li Huan with excited and joyful faces.
When he got closer, he saluted Li Huan and said, "I have met the master of the family!"
Although Li Huan was young, he was a direct descendant of the Li family in Langqi. After Li Xian died, the head of the Li family was naturally none other than Li Huan.
A few years ago, several clan elders thought that the Li family would decline from now on, but they never imagined that in the blink of an eye, Li Huan would rise from a small official of hundreds of households to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, the Chinese Army.
The governor of the Dudu Mansion signed the matter and became the emperor's imperial envoy to inspect the southeast.
This change in identity was so great that these clan elders felt like they were in a dream.
Just behind these clan elders, there is a crowd of people. The entire Langqi Island is actually only two to three thousand people, but looking at it now, it seems that there are no less than a thousand people.
In other words, at least half of the Li clan members on the island and the people who depended on the Li clan came to welcome Li Huan when he returned home.
Under the leadership of several clan elders, the Li clan members and the common people all bowed to Li Huan and said: "Welcome the master of the family to come home!"
When Li Huan saw this scene, he took a deep breath, strode forward, helped several clan elders up, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Everyone, get up quickly!"
Li Guo, Li Hu and others who were following Li Huan couldn't help but look envious in their eyes when they saw this scene.
Lin Pingzhi even opened his eyes and murmured softly: "My cousin is so majestic, as a man should be!"
Du Guang, Chen Yao and others, on the other hand, had seen Li Huan patrolling thousands of guards in gilded robes. Compared with such a grand scene, although the scene of Li Huan returning home in robes and robes was not small, it was still a bit inferior.
Of course, in comparison, the feelings are different. Patrolling the Jinyi Guards is a sign of great authority and superiority, but now the tribesmen and people are welcoming them, which is a kind of pride and pride.
The elder of the clan, Li Zheng, was from Grandpa Li Huan's generation. Li Huan's grandfather was the legitimate son, while Li Zheng was a concubine. Speaking of which, Li Huan would have called Li Zheng his uncle.
Li Zheng, who was already in his 60s, looked at Li Huan, who was inadvertently showing power, and the joy in his eyes was so obvious.
"The ancestors of the Li family have spirits in heaven, and our Li family can finally prosper!"
Following Li Huan out of the boat was a group of royal guards. Surrounded by the royal guards, Li Huan naturally rushed towards the Li family's mansion.
The people around looked at Li Huan, who was surrounded by royal guards, with proud and proud expressions in their eyes. This was the head of their family and their support.
It is said that if a person attains enlightenment, a chicken or a dog will ascend to heaven. This sentence is not an exaggeration at all in this era. If Li Huan holds a high position and has great authority, then his tribe can get some glory to some extent.
Not to mention other things, just look at the various families that have roots in Fuzhou Prefecture, such as the Cai family, the He family, and the Qian family. Just because of the emergence of high-ranking officials like Cai Wen and Qian Zhong, their families have soared into the sky, and they have gained countless benefits overtly and covertly.
Of course, there are many good and bad among the tribesmen, and many tribesmen with low moral character do evil, which naturally attracts a lot of hatred for each family.
Li Huan could naturally feel the gazes of these tribesmen and people. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been lost in it, but Li Huan remained awake enough.
After reading so many cases about people from various families committing evil acts, Li Huan couldn't help but feel his thoughts wandering when he saw the excited eyes of these people, and he became a little wary.
However, Li Huan didn't think too much at this time. Regarding these issues, he had already had some ideas in his mind before. He also had arrangements for these tribesmen, and he was not too worried that these tribesmen would use his name to do evil.
.
What he wants to think about right now is to meet his mother, Feng, and his grandmother, Lin.
After several years of separation, there were only a few letters. It would be an absolute lie to say that Li Huan did not miss his relatives.
Along the way, the boys and girls of the clan ran at the front, shouting: "The master of the family is back, the master of the family is back!"
Soon the group arrived in front of the Li family's old house.
The Li family's old house has a history of several decades. Although it has been repaired several times, it is still somewhat dilapidated.
But for Li Huan, this old house is the home in his memory. Just looking at it, a wave of emotions can't help but surge into his heart.
At the door, surrounded by maids and servants, Feng and Lin were looking at Li Huan with eagerness and expectation.
When Li Huan saw the two of them, he took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed to them and said, "My son has met his mother, and his grandson has kowtowed to his grandmother."
Feng's eyes flashed with tears, and she hurriedly helped Li Huan up and said: "My Huan'er, it will be good to come back, it will be good to come back."
Grandmother Lin looked at Li Huan lovingly, with a smile on her face.
Pulling Li Huan into the living room, Mrs. Feng looked at Li Huan carefully, and then said: "You kid, you have been away for several years. My mother misses you so much that she doesn't know how to come back to see you."
one look."
On the contrary, Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "My dear grandson is going to do big things. It's a long way from the capital to Fujian. Even if Huan'er has wings, he can't fly back every day."
Holding Li Huan's hand, Feng wiped away her tears and said to the maid beside her: "Go and get the pastries I made for Huan'er."
Li Huan accompanied Mr. Feng and Mr. Lin to talk without any impatience.
After more than an hour passed, a maid came in and whispered: "Madam, old woman, several clan elders are waiting for the young master outside. They said that an auspicious time is coming and they want the young master to go to worship the ancestors!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Huan'er has honored his ancestors so much that he should go to worship his ancestors and comfort them."
After saying this, Lin said to Li Huan: "Huan'er, go quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."
Feng on the side also nodded towards Li Huan.
Li Huan then stood up and said goodbye to Mr. Feng and Mr. Lin, leaving Forsythia with them. He left the inner hall. When Li Huan came to the living room.
He saw the clan elders waiting for him in the living room. When they saw Li Huan coming out, they quickly saluted to Li Huan.
Li Zheng said to Li Huan: "Master, the auspicious time is approaching. I would like to invite the master to personally host the ancestor worship ceremony."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
The group of people left the Li family's mansion and headed straight towards Jiulong Mountain where Li's ancestral grave is located.
The Li family took root on Langqi Island hundreds of years ago and thrived on the island for hundreds of years. Several generations of the Li family are buried in Jiulong Mountain, where the Li family's ancestral tomb is today.
At this time, the Li family's ancestral tomb has obviously been repaired, and there are many inscriptions on it, making it look quite solemn.
As the head of the Li family, Li Huan personally presented three animals, six animals, three teas and five wines.
Then he burned incense and prayed to comfort the ancestors
Hundreds of Li clan members followed Li Huan and bowed down together, but the momentum was not small.
That is to say, the Li family is not prosperous, the main line of the direct line is not prosperous, and even the branch line has a small population. Otherwise, a person like Li Huan would have emerged.
For those big families, it is not uncommon for thousands of people to participate in ancestor worship.
You must know that in ancient times, clans were the most important thing. One surname was one clan, and a clan with a prosperous population could sometimes even pull out thousands of strong men casually.
After finishing all this, it was already dark, and Li Huan led his tribe back to the town. Naturally, there was a big banquet. All the people on the island could come here. It was very lively.
After three days, the lively atmosphere on the island has finally faded a bit.
On this day, Li Huan personally summoned all the clan elders to discuss matters and prepare to make arrangements and plans for what Li would do next.
Not to mention that Li Huan is the head of the Li family, which is Li Huan's current official status. After receiving the notice, all the clan elders did not dare to neglect one by one and rushed over as soon as possible.
Li Huan sat at the top, looking at the dozens of clan elders with glowing faces and happy faces, with a slight smile on his lips.
Li Huan naturally knew why these clan elders were like this. Needless to say, it was definitely because of his official status that allowed these clan elders to see the hope of the family's future rise.
However, Li Huan did not dare to be careless or indulgent. Only by setting rules at the beginning could he be able to restrain these clansmen to a certain extent and prevent families like the Qian family and the He family from becoming a disaster.
Li Zheng smiled at Li Huan and said, "I wonder if the master of the house has called me to come here. What orders do you have?"
Everyone looked at Li Huan with eager faces. No one was a fool. Li Huan summoned them here because something must have happened. Li Huan's identity obviously meant that he could not stay in Langqi Island for too long, so he had to arrange the affairs of the clan.
, so everyone can still guess some of Li Huan’s purpose of calling them here this time.
After looking at everyone, Li Huan did not speak, but glanced at Chen Yao who was standing behind him.
Chen Yao got Li Huan's signal and immediately stepped forward. He was dressed in a royal guard uniform and had an embroidered spring knife on his waist. He was full of evil spirit and shocked people's hearts.
When they came in earlier, several clan elders focused on Li Huan and did not pay too much attention to others. Chen Yao stood behind Li Huan, as if he had no sense of existence.
But now, as Chen Yao walked out, the evil aura permeating his body only made these clan elders feel a pressure.
Chen Yao unfolded a stack of case files and read out the numerous crimes recorded in each case file that were committed by members of various families who had their homes confiscated and exterminated.
The crimes of raping women, killing people, abducting people, etc. are shocking.
When these clan elders listened to Chen Yao read about the crimes committed by members of each clan, they all looked at each other with a hint of horror on their faces.
Langqi Island is so far away from Fuzhou City, and there is a sea across it, so it is naturally very slow for news from Fuzhou City to reach Langqi Island.
These clan elders naturally did not know the news. It could be said that this was the first time they heard about the horrific crimes committed by members of the He family and the Qian family.
Li Huan looked at the expressions of these clan elders and said calmly: "Chen Yao, tell everyone, what will be the fate of these people in the end?"
Chen Yao said with murderous intent: "Such crimes should be punished according to the law, confiscation of homes and annihilation of clans, annihilation of three clans! Beheading, beheading, skinning, cramping..."
With a pop, a clan elder was so frightened that he fell down from his seat, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
Li Huan only glanced at him. He knew this clan elder. He was his father's cousin. His name was Li Mo. Among the Li clan, his reputation was quite poor. Not to mention he usually bullied clan members.
, they often beat and scolded the people who were attached to the Li family, and even Li Huan knew that there were two or three concubines snatched from this family.
It can be said that this person is the black sheep among the Li clan.
When a family is big, there are naturally people of all kinds. No one can avoid people doing evil like this.
Just like Li Mo, the Li family just huddled in this small Langqi Island, and he dared to bully men and women, causing harm to the clan and the people. It is conceivable that with Li Huan gaining power, the Li family is no longer what it used to be. With Li Mo's temperament,
They may not commit evil acts of murder and arson in the future.
Li Mo's reaction naturally fell into the eyes of all the clan elders present. These clan elders more or less have some minor problems, but the only good thing is that the Li family's family business is so big, and everyone has been in the village for so many years.
, even if you want to harm the tribe and the people, you can't do it.
To be honest, Li Mo's problem was more serious. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. Many people were sweating on their foreheads and secretly looked at Li Huan.
Anyone who can become a clan elder is not stupid. Just by looking at Li Huan's posture, one can probably guess Li Huan's intention.
Li Huan waved his hand, and Chen Yao retreated behind Li Huan, instantly losing his presence.
At this moment, Li Huan changed from his previous friendly demeanor. A sharp aura flashed across his expression, and a hint of murderous intent permeated the whole place, making all the clan elders tremble with fear.
Li Huan took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Elders, we all belong to the Li clan and come from the same lineage. Now we are lucky enough to be blessed by our ancestors, and Li Huan has become what he is today. He should protect his clan members and order them to do so."
Our Langqi Li family is prosperous and endless."
Hearing what Li Huan said, the elders of the clan breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Li Huan would directly cut off the thoughts and expectations in their hearts.
Li Huan added: "Li naturally knows what everyone is thinking, but what Li wants to say is that my Li family has a shallow foundation. Now that Li suddenly gains such authority, there will definitely be a descendant in the clan."
If one is not restrained, he will be rampant. I wonder what kind of crimes he will commit. I wonder if the clan elders think what Li said is reasonable?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Li Zheng hurriedly said: "What the head of the family said is true. There are good and bad children in the family, and there will inevitably be bad ones."
As he said this, Li Zheng glanced at Li Mo, and the meaning was self-explanatory.
Li Huan nodded slightly and said, "Now that Li is here, he should repay his family members. However, Li has said it first. If someone in the family acts recklessly under the banner of Li, don't blame Li for not caring about his family members."
The clan elders nodded repeatedly and said: "It should be so, it should be so."
Li Huan then turned to Zhao Zhi and said, "Uncle Zhi, please make the arrangements."
Zhao Zhi took a deep breath, stepped forward, took a look at the crowd and said: "Everyone, Mr. Meng thinks highly of me and entrusts Zhao to take care of the Li family's property. The Master does not forget his clan members and specifically asked me to transfer part of the property in the name of the direct line to the public."
In it, it will be used as a clan property to distribute to benefit the clan members."
When the elders heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked at Zhao Zhi expectantly.
Zhao Zhi said slowly: "Among them are Changle County and Lianjiang County with ten thousand acres of fertile land, ten large ships, twenty shops, and ten thousand taels of silver. These are all classified as family property."
When these clan elders heard this, they couldn't help but breathe quickly. Since it is a clan property, it means that all members of the Li clan can get some benefits from it. Who wouldn't like this kind of benefit that falls out of thin air?
The most important thing is that the amount of acres, shops, ships and even cash allocated to the family by Li Huan is beyond their imagination. It is too much.
Not to mention other things, it is the 10,000 acres of fertile farmland. It is the best farmland located in Lianjiang County and Changle County. It is actually over 10,000 acres.
The Li family has only accumulated hundreds of acres of farmland in two places over the years.
Seeing the reaction of these clan elders, Li Huan coughed lightly and said: "Li will start a clan school in the clan, and all the children of the clan's appropriate age will enter the clan school to study."
Establishing a clan school to benefit the clan has only advantages and no disadvantages for the Li family.
Moreover, Li Huan pondered for a while and then said: "In addition, I will ask Uncle Zhi, Uncle Yidao and the others to recruit some people from the clan's children to be my Li family's private soldiers and protect my Li family's safety."
Several clan elders just pondered for a moment before agreeing. Li Huan recruited clan members to serve as Li's private soldiers. This was also for Li's consideration, so they naturally had no reason to object.
Seeing that Li Huan had not forgotten their clan members, the clan elders present gradually relaxed. It could be said that they listened to whatever Li Huan ordered.
At this moment, Li Huan looked at Zhao Zhi and other clan elders: "I have sun-dried salt and sugar-making methods here, which can bring a lot of benefits to my Li family."
Salt and sugar are both huge profits. For example, Li's family could only secretly sell a small amount of private salt before. Even boiling salt was done secretly. As for making sugar, let alone making sugar, the methods are all
Monopolized by various wealthy families.
In Fujian, which is so big, there are only a few companies with the qualifications and ability to produce salt and sugar. They either have no means or the ability to protect such a hugely profitable industry.
Now that the Li family is not lacking in the ability to protect the industry, and Li Huan is able to provide methods for making sugar and drying salt, the clan elders suddenly stood up in excitement.
Those industries that allocate family property can indeed greatly improve the quality of life of the Li family, but what really moves these clan elders is the method of making sugar and drying salt. This is the foundation of the prosperity of the Li family.
ah.
Then they saw Li Zheng and other clan elders. They all bowed to Li Huan and said, "On behalf of all the members of the Langqi Li clan, we would like to thank the master of the family."
Li Huansheng accepted the courtesy from the clan elders, nodded slowly and said: "What should be given, what should not be given, there is only so much that Li can do for the Li family. Li only hopes that the clan elders can remember what Li said before
If so, don’t do anything that will make my relatives angry and my enemies happy, and make things difficult for me.”
Li Zheng took a deep breath and said calmly: "Don't worry, Patriarch. From today on, we will depose the elders of the Li Mo clan and will supervise the clan members. Anyone who bullies others or violates the law will be punished without asking the Patriarch."
Take him to the ancestral hall and make his crimes known to the public."
On this day, Li Huan was accompanying his mother, Feng Shi, and Forsythia sat beside her. Feng Shi took Li Huan's hand and said, "Huan'er, you are quite old now. It's time to think about it."
It's a matter of starting a family and starting a career. I'm afraid my mother won't be able to take charge of whichever family you marry in the future. But forsythia, I have treated her like a daughter since I was a child. Shouldn't you give this girl a daughter now?
I’ve earned my reputation.”
Forsythia blushed immediately when she heard this. Feng Shi naturally knew about the fact that she was taken into the room by Li Huan. Feng Shi also knew that with Li Huan's current status, Forsythia was just a maid from the beginning. Obviously
It is impossible for her to be Li Huan's wife, and as her mother, she may not be able to make the final decision on Li Huan's marriage.
So Feng, who watched Forsythia grow up, wanted to decide on Forsythia's status first.
Li Huan smiled when he heard this and said, "My child, just listen to your mother."
Feng's face showed joy when she heard this and said: "Okay, mother will order people to go and arrange the arrangements. Although the girl Forsythia is just a concubine, she has grown up with you since she was a child. If you hadn't been your high status now, she would be a sweetheart.
, mother..."
Forsythia blushed and said: "Madam, Forsythia just wants to be a maid beside the young master. What kind of status..."
