“Why did you choose to display the Ichthyosaurus Club’s brand?”

Standing in the Tingtao Pavilion on Peach Blossom Mountain, Huang Sanlie asked this question.

Li Chenan faced the rising sun and let the breeze blow on his face.

The two-sided sign, one silver and one black, was placed on the stone table.

"It's a matter of human nature."

Li Chen'an turned around and took the silver plate representing the embroidery envoy of Lijing Division in his hand.

"Although this Lijing Division has some reputation, right now... this reputation is not enough to scare people like Huo Chuanming."

"The brand of Lijingsi may be useful, but even if Huo Chuanming retreats today, he will not be really afraid in his heart. He will come again and will adopt other methods."

"The Huo family has no shortage of money. They can definitely use the money to invite more martial arts masters."

"That's not what I want. It will make me exhausted. But this Ichthyosaurus brand is different. It can help me solve this problem once and for all."

After a pause, Li Chenan raised the corner of his mouth and said again:

"In addition, from the information I know, it seems that Shang Cheng was too restrictive when formulating the rules for Lijing Division last year."

"Although the Lijing Division also committed murder and arson, it would only use this method when it is necessary to prove the guilt but cannot convict."

"So, in the eyes of the Ningguo officialdom or the people, the name Lijingsi actually represents justice."

"But the Ichthyosaur Society is just the opposite. Let me think about it... Prime Minister Ji deliberately indulged the Ichthyosaur Society in order to attack the Lijing Division and eradicate dissidents. As a result, the Ichthyosaur Society's reputation became more and more bad."

Li Chenan picked up the black jade sign again,

"The smellier something is, the more people will naturally hate it. But at the same time, the unscrupulous evil shown by fish and dragons because of the smell makes people all over the world fear it!"

"Whether it's an official or an ordinary person."

"People in the world are afraid of that kind of unreasonable evil. They say that such people should go to hell, but at the same time, they want to be such people, or be close to such people."

Huang Sanlie frowned, "How do you say this?"

"Because there is a little devil in everyone's heart. Those unscrupulous evil things are also what many people want to do but dare not do, or are unable to do!"

"Subject to law, authority, or so-called justice, moral conscience, etc."

"Existences like the Ichthyosaurus Society are just a shelter for evil people. People standing under the umbrella can kill people and set fires in broad daylight. People standing outside the umbrella can only watch or suffer. Of course, there is no balance in their hearts.

, so you will hope to become a member under that umbrella.”

"If they can't become the people under the umbrella, they will never provoke those people easily, because it's not worth getting angry!"

Huang Sanlie understood. This was just like when he was a bandit in Yanqiu Mountain outside the Great Wall.

No, it's not the same truth.

This kid had an umbrella in his hand to cover the sky, but at that time, he was naked in the rain.

"But there are evil people under that umbrella, and the old lady doesn't like evil people very much!"

Li Chenan stuffed the two signs into his arms and said with a smile: "Using an evil person to do compassionate things...maybe a great good!"

…

…

When Huo Chuanming returned to the Huo Mansion in a hurry, the sun was rising.

Mr. Huo Xi, who had not slept all night last night, was sleeping soundly at this time, but he was still woken up from his dream by Huo Chuanming.

"What? Did you get the brewing method?"

Huo Xi was still lying on the bed, his eyes opened a little, and his face was a little unhappy, because this matter was not a big deal, and we should wait until he woke up to talk about it.

"No, uncle, we are in big trouble."

Huo Xi's old eyes were fully opened. He looked at Huo Chuanming for three breaths and frowned, "Big trouble? Did Liu Zui intervene to stop it? Or did people from Zhongli Mansion stand up?"

When Huo Xi thought about it, the real big trouble was that Zhongli Mansion was standing by Li Chenan's side.

If that's the case, this matter is really tricky.

But Huo Chuanming bowed and said, "None of them."

"What's that?"

"That kid Li Chen'an, he, he is actually the helmsman of the Guanglingzhou Branch of the Fish and Dragon Society!"

"..."

Huo Xi's pupils shrank, and after five breaths, he suddenly sat up from the bed, stared at Huo Chuanming, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"That boy is really the helmsman of the Guangling Branch of the Fish and Dragon Society! He has the helmsman's token in his hand. My nephew can't fake it after seeing it with his own eyes!"

"..."

Huo Xi stood up, and the maid waiting at the side quickly stepped forward to put on his clothes, shoes and socks.

He stood in front of the window for a moment, then walked out of the house and came to the yard.

He looked up at the clear blue sky and the already dazzling sun, and murmured to himself: "Why did he become the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society?"

"He has been in Guangling City and has never been to Jade Capital City in Kyoto... It has only been more than a month since Song Yuanping's death. The third lady of Zhongli Mansion went to Yujing City, but Zhongli Mansion has always had a relationship with Yulong.

Deal with..."

"If you say that he became the embroiderer of Lijing Division, I still believe it. After all, the fourth princess came to Guangling City once, and after all, Miss Zhongli and the fourth princess are as close as sisters... But he just became the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society...

… Let’s put aside the matter of brewing methods for now, and wait until I go to Kyoto to see what the situation is.”

"Okay, then Li Chenan's peach blossom wine will be on the market today..."

Huo Xi raised his hand to interrupt Huo Chuanming, "The plan has to change. You go to his wine shop in person and buy more peach blossom wine."

"Then you take my invitation and go see Li Chenan and invite him to sit in the Huo Mansion!"

Huo Chuanming was startled. He was threatened by Li Chenan and had to go to that guy's shop, but his uncle actually took the initiative to show his kindness to Li Chenan...

"What does uncle mean...?"

"I didn't know his identity before. Since he is the leader of Guangling Prefecture, the Huo family should make peace with him."

"The Fish and Dragon Society is a piece of meat! If this guy sees the Huo family as his enemy, after he rebuilds the Fish and Dragon Society, we, the Huo family, will have nothing to gain!"

"They are a bunch of extremely vicious people. My uncle is not afraid of thieves, but he is afraid that thieves will miss him. If any other news about our Huo family falls into Li Chenan's ears, he is afraid that he will do it deliberately and ruin our good deeds!"

When Huo Chuanming heard this, of course he understood what his uncle meant.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, not to mention that the one who is barefoot has such a strong background.

The Huo family has no private soldiers, and there is no backer in the court who can compete with Prime Minister Ji. This is really not easy to mess with.

Since you can't afford to offend, you might as well become friends.

"Uncle, my nephew also found out something."

"What's up?"

"On the night when the Shen family's granary was burned down, a lot of grain was transported out of the granary. Judging from the ashes after the burning, there was not much left in the granary."

"In addition, Cai Zhengyao's grain depot was also burned down by Shen Qianshan's people, but there is not a single grain in Cai Zhengyao's grain depot."

Huo Xi was startled and thought for a moment.

"This kid is a character."

"He has a strategy, a courage, a talent, and a background!"

"After I met Li Chenan, I took Shufan to Kyoto."

"I will come back as soon as possible and bring the book back."

Huo Chuanming was shocked. Huo Shu was also Huo Shufan's younger sister, who happened to have a hairpin. What did his uncle mean by this...?
