"You guy is so interesting. If you want to know that you call him a turtle, you will be angry to death. Liu Renze smiled.
"Well, how did you make him hurt?" Ling Yun said curiously, Lei Dongfeng and Jiang Zhuying also had their ears.
"Although Duanmucheng doesn't manage the store, he usually relies on this income to win people's hearts and obtain military funds, right?" Li Ruoxi asked Ling Yun.
"It is precisely because the Duanmu family monopolized more than half of the hotels and inns in Chengdu Prefecture. All the expenses of the thugs he raised were obtained from here. And the reason why he could control the Chengdu Prefecture's military was due to a large amount of investment every year." Ling Yun frowned.
"That's easy. Let's take a knife to cut off his wealth. If he cut off his wealth, he will naturally move. As soon as he leaves the barracks, we will intercept and kill him." Li Ruoxi said coldly.
"No, if Duanmucheng doesn't leave the military camp, then there are troops around him. There are at least a hundred guards around him, especially the thirty people around him. They are carefully cultivated dead soldiers, with excellent martial arts. If they fail to kill him, they will give him the excuse to rebel and rebellion. Then there will be no peace in the Sichuan area, and it will be difficult for the imperial capital military headquarters to explain." Ling Yun said.
"High martial arts skills? Brother Zijin, how good do I do?" Jiang Zhuying frowned and asked.
"I have never fought, but as I said in front of the door just now, you are the general." Ling Yun said.
"Yinger is at the top of the martial arts. I think you are good at Boy Lei. If I give you a hundred people, would you be confident that you can kill Duanmu Cheng halfway?" Liu Renze suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Lei Dongfeng nodded without hesitation.
"My request is not to hurt her!" Liu Renze pointed at Jiang Zhuying.
"Even if I am torn to pieces, Zhuying will not be injured." Lei Dongfeng said with a sigh.
"Big Brother." Jiang Zhuoying and American eyes were flowing, and they were obviously very excited.
When Li Ruoxi saw Lei Dongfeng agreeing to Liu Renze so easily, he felt a little sour in his heart, but he still said to himself:
"It is easy to kill Duanmu. The imperial military headquarters needs to hide more. Lord Liu must have made a decision in his mind, right?"
"You are smart, as long as things don't make a big deal, there are indeed people in the imperial capital who want to see me get rid of Duanmucheng, and I have already thought of an excuse..."
"Well, since that's the case, Dongfeng dares not do his best for the Lord!" Lei Dongfeng said with a smile.
"It's so good, but you won't do this just to help me, right? I don't believe it?" Liu Renze smiled, kind and as gentle as the neighbor's parents, but his eyes were shrewd.
"I have no other requests. I just hope that the adults will recognize my position as guarding Dasan Pass and can borrow my military personnel for the purpose of using the military workers and civilians, and also let me choose a few military academy students from the Southwest Military Academy." Lei Dongfeng saw Liu Renze ask a question, so he simply came directly.
"I did so much for you, what benefits can you bring to me?" Liu Renze asked.
"Protect the safety of Sichuan, help the adults kill the thieves, help you return to the imperial capital and find what you have lost!" Lei Dongfeng said.
"These are all empty words, but for Xiaoying's sake, I will trust you for the time being. I will try my best to help you make a legitimate name through my connections. I can also give you a few, or even dozens of military academy students. This year's academy will be graduated in May. However, the military camp is not in my hands, and even if you defeat Duanmucheng, the military camp will be the foundation for my future construction of the Chengdu Prefecture Army. The household registration of those workers and civilians belongs to the Imperial Capital Military Department, and I don't want to lend you." Liu Renze pondered.
"Whether to borrow or not is all due to the thought of the adults, and Dongfeng has no other thoughts." Lei Dongfeng said with a smile.
"Okay, you guy Lei, I've heard you are very brave. When you see him today, it's absolutely true. Okay, go back and rest, don't disturb others. I will find someone to contact you in the past few days, and add fire to Duanmu Cheng. When he can't sit still, it depends on your ability!" Liu Renze cursed with a smile.
"Well, Dongfeng still has an uninvited request." Lei Dongfeng suddenly said.
"Say." Liu Renze said.
"Please give me a written certificate, so I can act at a temporary basis." Lei Dongfeng smiled.
"Are you afraid that I won't admit it then? Well, if you do the good guys to the end, I will write you a letter of authorization and appoint you as the inspector of the Sichuan and Chongqing routes. You can do it cheaply in the Sichuan and Chongqing routes." Liu Renze glanced at Jiang Zhuying with anticipation and nodded slowly and agreed.
"Thank you, Governor!" Lei Dongfeng gave a standard military salute.
"Please trouble you, Captain Lei!" Liu Renze raised his right fist, which was also a standard emperor's courtesy. Ben's somewhat old body suddenly showed a sense of heroism that had never been lost.

On the 19th day of the Empire, the Imperial Era, the Imperial Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, Chengdu Prefecture.
As the fourth largest city in the empire, Chengdu Prefecture will never lack a population of people. It is a permanent population of more than 2 million, plus nearly one million foreign population, as well as business travelers from all over the mainland, making it full of bustling people day and night.
The large population and intensive transactions are the development of the service industry.
Restaurants, inns, carriages, and places where there are trample, there are gold-selling caves everywhere, and there are wild guests every day.
Someone once joked that he only knew that he had little money in Chengdu Prefecture; he only knew that he had a small official position in the country.
The richest families in Chengdu are the Duanmu family and the Ling family.
The Duanmu family has been relying on the scale of today because of the collusion between officials and businessmen for a hundred years, and monopolizing the well and salt business for generations.
However, the Ling family is a foreign family. It migrated from the Jiangnan province a hundred years ago and settled in Chengdu Prefecture. Several generations of heads were geniuses in business, starting from small inns and horse carriages, and today it has become the largest wood in Sichuan, Shujin, inns and the second only to Ugo.
Originally, the Duanmu family and the Ling family did not intersect and there was no possibility of conflict.
But more than ten years ago, the Duanmu family suddenly entered the restaurant, inn and even brothel business. With the Duanmu Chenggui, the leader of the Duanmu family, became the commander of the second-level legion of Chengdu Prefecture, and took advantage of the fact that he had to take advantage of the situation and buy the most of the service businesses in Chengdu Prefecture.
It would be fine if the head of the Ling family was incompetent. At most, he would move back to the Jiangnan province. Anyway, his business focus had already quietly shifted.
But Ling Jiyang, the leader of the Ling family, was also a genius in business, and was unwilling to swallow this.
It’s a pity that his family has been businessmen for generations and no one has been an official.
It was not until Liu Renze became the governor of Sichuan and Chongqing that Ling Jiyang saw hope soaring to the sky.
In Chengdu Prefecture, everyone knows that Ling Jiyang Ling is a business genius, but he does not know that his political vision is even more different from ordinary people.
The result of such a vision on this middle-aged man was that he created his hidden ambitions. He was unwilling to be a businessman who could be tricked by others. Although the business people seemed equal to the other three people, he wanted to be an official and become bigger, and Liu Renze was his unlimited hope.
He even thought that he was Lu Buwei from the previous dynasty. It’s a pity that Liu Renze was not Ying Yiren, and he was even more wise and calm.
