Early the next morning, while Li Qi was still sleeping soundly in the room, there was a rapid knock on the door.
I thought it was Tang Yun, but when I opened the door, I found it was Chun Sanniang.
I saw that she looked hasty and anxious.
Before she could speak, Li Qi had already guessed what was going on.
"Sanniang, what's wrong with you?"
Chun Sanniang closed the door and said hurriedly: "Captain, something big has happened!"
"What a big deal."
"All the properties of the Qunying Association in Suzhou City have been sealed up by the government!"
"How is that possible?" Li Qi pretended to be surprised.
Chun Sanniang said: "I guess the six gates are putting pressure on the government and want to make us suffer."
As she spoke, she sighed and said: "If I had known that I would offend Liumenmen, I would have never let Leader Yang assassinate Yu Bozuo..."
"What's the use of talking about this now?" Li Qi said, "You came to me not just because of this matter, right?"
Chun Sanniang said: "The hall masters would like to invite the helmsman to come over and discuss countermeasures together."
"Okay, let me clean it up."
This Jiang Yuxiu is really efficient, he got into trouble so quickly.
When they arrived at Qunying Villa, in addition to the people Li Qi knew, there was also a large group of people, about twenty or so.
These people are the backbone of the Heroes Association in Sioux City, with Song Longping as the leader sitting on the left side and Liu Zhengqi as the leader on the right side.
"The helmsman has arrived!"
Accompanied by a song and a shout, Li Qi entered the room, walked to the Taishi chair in the middle and sat down.
Seeing everyone's uneasy expressions, Li Qi found it a little funny.
He knew that he was just a decoration, but when he encountered such a big thing, he had to call him over, and he didn't know what he was trying to do.
"Captain! Now you have to give everyone an idea." Song Longping was the first to stand up and said.
Li Qi nodded calmly and said, "When I came here, I heard what Sanniang said. The officials suddenly started to attack. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Liu Zhengqi interjected: "It must be because of what Uncle Yu did. At the beginning, I advised Captain Yang to think twice before acting, but he didn't listen. It's better now..."
"Liu, what do you mean?" Song Longping turned around and shouted, "Master Yang has already gone west to avenge Tang Daxia, and now you are still making sarcastic remarks?"
"Am I making sarcastic remarks?" Liu Zhengqi looked disapproving, "What I said is the truth! I said at the beginning that the things that Uncle Yu did should not be rushed, but should be considered in the long run, but which of you has heard of it? Now the government has suddenly launched an attack, 100%
It’s because of the six doors!”
Seeing everyone quarreling, Li Qi said: "Can you all listen to what I have to say?"
After hearing this, everyone calmed down. Although they looked down on Li Qi, the so-called helmsman, it was not easy to refute his face on the spot.
"We are gathered here today to deal with the problem. If we want to quarrel, there is no need." Li Qi said, "Since we are here to solve the problem, we have to find a way first."
"I wonder what the helmsman can do?" Liu Zhengqi said in a strange tone.
"Of course we haven't thought of a way yet, but now we have to find out the real purpose of the government against our group of heroes. Everyone says that the Six Doors are behind it, but do you have any evidence?"
When Li Qi said this, everyone looked at me and others, and suddenly they didn't know what to say.
"Since there is no evidence, we cannot draw a conclusion so early on this matter." Li Qi glanced around the crowd and said, "I heard Hall Master Qian say before that our association has not been able to deal with the government in these years in Su City.
Young Master, if that’s the case, why don’t you find some connections and ask first what’s going on?”
Song Longping said: "I have asked someone to inquire, but I couldn't get any reply. They said they didn't know what was going on."
"It's impossible for the government to seize our property for no reason. Didn't they give any reason?" Li Qi asked.
"What reason does the government need for a seizure?" Liu Zhengqi said disapprovingly, "You can find any excuse."
"Since you say that, don't we have to admit defeat?" Li Qi said.
Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone looked sad.
After Liu Zhengqi and Song Longping looked at each other, they didn't like each other, especially Liu Zhengqi who glanced sideways at Li Qi.
Grandma, you dare to lean on me?
There will be times when you cry in the future!
I don’t know which song Jiang Yuxiu will sing next, and he doesn’t give me a script or anything in advance. This makes me very passive.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, someone suddenly came to report that the prefect was hosting a banquet in the evening and asked everyone to come and get together.
After hearing the news, everyone swept away the previous gloom, and Liu Zhengqi's face burst into laughter: "So that's it!"
"Why did Hall Master Liu say this?" Li Qi asked.
Liu Zhengqi looked unwilling to pay attention to Li Qi and said: "Since the prefect invited us over, he just wants us to pay tribute. As long as we bring enough money, this matter will be solved."
Li Qi secretly laughed in his heart: If it were so easy to solve, that would be great.
"Then do you want me to accompany you tonight?" Li Qi asked.
Liu Zhengqi waved his hand and said: "The helmsman is busy with official duties, so there is no need. We will solve it ourselves."
Song Longping also nodded and said: "Master, just wait for the good news."
"Okay, since all the hall masters have their own ideas, it doesn't have anything to do with me."
With that, Li Qi stood up from the Taishi chair and strode out of the house. When he was about to go out, he stopped and turned to Chun Sanniang and said: "Sanniang, don't do this kind of thing in the future.
Excuse me for disturbing me. Anyway, all hall masters have their own ideas. Isn’t it a waste of time to come to me?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Chun Sanniang to reply, and left directly with a flick of his sleeves.
When Liu Zhengqi saw this, he was disapproving and couldn't help but mutter: "A guy who appears out of nowhere really thinks he can be the helmsman of the Heroes Association?"
This sentence was neither loud nor quiet, and it happened to be heard by Song Longping. Although he himself was a little unhappy with Li Qi being the helmsman, he did not make it as obvious as Liu Zhengqi.
Chun Sanniang looked at the two of them, feeling helpless. First, she sympathized with Li Qi, and second, she felt that Liu Zhengqi had gone too far.
In any case, even if Li Qi is no longer capable, he is still the helmsman now.
Throughout the ages, how could any hall master criticize the helmsman privately?
But now it seems that Li Qi may not be able to sit in the position of helmsman for long. When this matter is resolved, it may be chaos again.
I just don’t know what kind of backup Liu Zhengqi has left.
Thinking about it, Chun Sanniang and Song Longping looked at each other and couldn't help exchanging glances with each other.
