My understanding is against the heavens, I am the imperial eagle dog

Baiyang County Li Mansion

"Thump, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump……"

Today, the Li Mansion is filled with loud gongs and drums and red flags waving, making it very lively.

Today is the 80th birthday of the old man of the Li family.

As the largest aristocratic family in Baiyang County, such birthday banquets are naturally held in a grand manner.

Everyone in the county who can be named came to the Li Mansion today to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Li family.

"The shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou presented a piece of Ruyi jade to congratulate Mr. Li on being as blessed as the East China Sea and living as long as the Southern Mountains."

"Chen Kee Incense Shop presented three bottles of whooping incense and one thousand taels of silver. Congratulations to Mr. Li for a long life and a smile on his face."

……

Seeing the bustling scene of people in the courtyard, the old man of the Li family felt very happy.

"Wen Lu, Grandpa, the most correct decision I made in my life was to spend all my family wealth to secure the position of county magistrate for you two years ago. You see, it has only been two years, but this Baiyang County belongs to my Li family.."

Mr. Li said to a man around thirty years old next to him.

This man is the current magistrate of Baiyang County, Li Wenlu.

Two years ago, although the Li family was also a big family in Baiyang County, they were only mid-level powerful at best..

But since Li Wenlu became the county magistrate, with the help of his status, in just two years, the Li family became the dominant family in Baiyang County.

The other powerful families were either accused of unfounded charges or reduced to the Li family. A lackey.

Being an official is really good and wonderful.

"Master, what I’m saying is that thanks to your decision, our Li family can be so prosperous, cough cough cough!"As Li Wenlu spoke, he couldn't help but cough a few times.

Mrs. Li immediately asked with concern:"Wen Lu, have you not recovered yet?"

"I've told you a long time ago that you are the backbone of our family now. You should pay attention to your body and don't work too hard."

Li Wenlu coughed twice again:"Ahem, Master, Wen Lu's health has improved a lot in the past year. My concubine in the seventeenth room can be regarded as the true inheritance of her grandfather. Under her conditioning, My disease is basically gone and I will probably be cured in another two years."

"Oh, are you talking about that little girl from the Wang family? Old Mrs. Li asked.

Li Wenlu nodded:"Exactly." Mr.

Li's face darkened:"You have to be careful about that little girl. After all, everyone in the Wang family died in your hands. Even though she is obedient now, if there is a chance, she will definitely bite you back.". Li

Wenlu said confidently:"Master, Wenlu knows, but as long as the only grandson of the Wang family is in my hands, she can't change the world.""

"Be careful to make a thousand-year ship."Mr. Li warned

"That's natural. Wen Lu understood that she was a wild wolf looking for disobedience. People in Baiyang County thought I was lecherous and that's why I kept her. Little did they know that I only value my grandson's medical skills. As long as she cures my disease , The grandson is determined not to keep her as a hidden danger around him, and will send her directly to reunite with his family when the time comes."Li Wenlu had a cold smile on his face.

"Well, yes, you have made more progress in the past two years. To cut the grass, you must remove the roots. From now on, I can leave the Li family to you to take charge. If you are indecisive, how can you lead my Li family forward?"Mr. Li nodded with satisfaction.

"The grandson understands."Li Wenlu's eyes were full of ambition at this time.

Even though he is now the county magistrate, the Li family must have contributed a lot to being able to secure this position.

"Just understand. Becoming a county magistrate is just your starting point. You need to take a longer view."

"For the untouchables in Baiyang County, the county magistrate is heaven, but for some people, the county magistrate is nothing more than an ant."

"Two years ago, the Wang family incident happened. If my Li family hadn't tried their best to block the channels for those untouchables to complain, they might have brought the matter to Fuzhou."

"If an investigation by Fuzhou Jinyiwei had been triggered at that time, my Li family would definitely be in disaster."

"So, you should keep this lesson in mind."

Mr. Li said earnestly.

Li Wenlu also looked frightened at this time:"My grandson acted impulsively back then. I didn't expect that those untouchables who died for one person would have the courage to do such a thing."

Two years ago, Li Wenlu's attack on the Wang family made a big fuss. Most of the people in Baiyang County have been favored by Dr. Wang. There are many benevolent and righteous people among them.

The Li family also paid a high price to block those people from filing complaints. of

"However, Master, you don’t have to worry about it now. If something like this happens again in the future, there is no need for my Li family to take action. If we let those untouchables make trouble, they won’t make much noise."Li Wenlu had a smile on his face.

"oh? Why?"Mr. Li was puzzled.

Li Wenlu immediately explained:"Recently, my grandson, I spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to establish a relationship with Colonel Sun."

"Lieutenant Sun! Mrs. Li immediately exclaimed:"Are you talking about the commander-in-chief Sun who just took office this year?""

"Even that gentleman, if nothing else happens, Captain Sun will also come to my Li family to celebrate your birthday today."Li Wenlu nodded.

Old Mrs. Li immediately laughed heartily and said:"Okay, okay, Wen Lu, you are finally successful. You actually made such a big noise quietly. Sun Xiaowei is a member of Jinyiwei. If he is willing to do it, With my Li family’s support, my Li family will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the door

"Jin... Jin Yiwei... Captain Sun is here!"

The voice of the shouter was very excited and even stuttered.

After hearing this, everyone in the hospital stood up immediately.

The same was true for Mr. Li, and he quickly said to Li Wenlu:"Quick, help me over, I want to greet Principal Sun in person. Lieutenant."

Then with the support of Li Wenlu, he ran to the gate of Li's Mansion as fast as he could.

It's hard to imagine that these are the legs and feet that an eighty-year-old man can have.

At this time, there was a luxurious carriage parked at the door of Li's Mansion.

In the car two people sitting

"Sir, you don't really want to take the Li family under your control. As far as I know, the reputation of the Li family in Baiyang County is not very good."One of the people dressed as a Confucian scholar asked

"Li Wenlu is the magistrate of Baiyang County, and the Li family is the most powerful family in Baiyang County. Since they are determined to join the official, there is no harm in giving them a chance."

Another middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"As for reputation, it's just a trivial matter. Few of these aristocratic families have a good reputation. As long as they can do things, that's fine."

"Come on, let's go in and take a look. After all, the Li family sent us one hundred thousand taels of silver. For the sake of money, we still have to give it face."

After saying that, the man took the lead to get off the carriage.

The Confucian scholar behind him followed closely.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, Mr. Li, who had just arrived at the door, immediately broke away from Li Wenlu's hands and couldn't wait to run to the middle-aged man. He cupped his fists and saluted..Bend ninety degrees

"Meet Lieutenant Sun!"

Lieutenant Sun didn't move, just hummed softly, and then passed Old Mrs. Li and walked directly towards the Li Mansion.

As for the congratulatory gifts, there were no gifts at all.

He could come in person, which was already a gift for him. This was the greatest honor for Mr. Li.

As expected, after Colonel Sun walked over, Mr. Li slowly straightened up, his face full of excitement.

Then he followed Colonel Sun and welcomed him to the main seat. After going up, he turned around and raised his head proudly towards the guests of the Li Mansion.

It seemed like a fox was pretending to be a tiger. But the guests were very satisfied with this trick.

"Unexpectedly, the Li family actually caught up with Jin Yiwei"

"It’s incredible. From now on, the Li family will definitely be able to cover the sky with one hand in Baiyang County."

"Alas, my life of waiting is going to be miserable again"

"That's all, with Jin Yiwei here, the Li family really can't afford to offend."
