East Factory Governor

Chapter 99
After hearing Qi Jin's words, Qin Shuhuai made a dumbfounded expression and said, "Master...Master? Master Qi, you mean he is older than you?"

Qi Jin patted the armrest of the wooden chair, and shouted, "Presumptuous! What are you still dawdling about, why don't you hurry up and meet the lord."

Li Daliang smiled slightly, and said, "Master Qi, I have never met Qin Hufa, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know me. Those who don't know are not surprised."

Only then did Qin Shuhuai knelt down on the ground, bowed deeply to Li Daliang, and said, "My subordinate Qin Shuhuai, please see my lord."

Li Daliang raised his hand and said with a pleasant face, "Get up. Protector Qin, I've heard of your name a lot these days. Chief Qi has mentioned it to me several times, saying that I can help a genius for a day and get a lucky general. Praise you to heaven."

Qin Shuhuai said, "The subordinates are just doing things for the gang diligently. Thanks to the blessings of the lord and the leader of the Qi gang, this is a small contribution, and it deserves no praise."

Li Daliang smiled lightly, and said, "Qin Hufa is proficient in everything from literature to martial arts, and can rely on his talents without being arrogant. No wonder even the emperor likes you!"

Li Daliang said this, Qin Shuhuai was not surprised at all.Chongzhen sees him almost once a month, so it's no wonder the people in Dongchang don't know about it.

However, Cao Huachun has always been loyal to Chongzhen in history, and Chongzhen also trusted him a lot. Chongzhen wants to guard against him now but at his own instigation, just wanting to prevent trouble before it happens.The relationship between Dongchang and Chongzhen is now the best period in history, so even if I get closer to Chongzhen, Dongchang should not do anything to me.

However, Li Daliang certainly had a purpose in saying this.The relationship between Dongchang and the emperor is not fake, but everyone wants to guess the emperor's mind.

Why is the emperor so nice to you?Did he intend to cultivate you?To what extent is it cultivated?Are you in charge of the Jianghe Gang?
What Li Daliang wanted to test and ask next was nothing more than these things.

The Jianghe Gang was founded by Li Daliang, so he was naturally unwilling to hand it over to others.Once Li Daliang was sure that he wanted to take charge of his Jianghe gang, he had only two options.One was to be a loyal minister and leave the Jianghe Gang like a stray dog.The other is to kill yourself.

And he is more likely to go the second way.

He can have countless ways to make himself die reasonably. The simplest is to report to Chongzhen that he was attacked and killed by a master in revenge from the Cao Gang.At that time, even if Chongzhen had doubts, he could only accept the facts.

Because Chongzhen needs the Jianghe gang, he needs the Jianghe gang too much.Apart from myself, there is no more suitable person to replace Li Daliang.If he died, he could only let Li Daliang continue to be in charge of the Jianghe Gang.

If he killed Li Daliang, he would also have to transfer or kill his brother Qi Jin who lived and died with Li Daliang. Once the two left, the Jianghe Gang would disband. Chongzhen knew this very well.

So he would never kill Li Daliang just for himself.In front of Jiangshan Sheji, even if Chongzhen really has a little brotherhood with him, it is insignificant.

What's more, Li Daliang is fully capable of making up the lie, so that Chongzhen can't find the slightest flaw. With Dongchang's help, Chongzhen might not doubt him at all.

So until the last moment, no matter what, Li Daliang couldn't let Li Daliang know about his plan with Chongzhen.It would be extremely dangerous if Li Daliang detected his hole cards now.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said, "My lord is right, the emperor really likes me very much. At the beginning, when I drank a little wine, I was so careless about the three troubles. Later, it got to the emperor's ears. The emperor thought it was interesting, so he asked me to tell him about it. .Actually, I don’t know anything about national affairs. It’s just hearsay, and the emperor immediately exposed it. But fortunately, I told the emperor about the people and customs of my hometown, the strange stories of martial arts, and some tricks of the market. , made the emperor laugh, and this saved me from the death penalty. Later, the emperor said that he was too bored to stay in the palace, and it would be nice for someone to tell jokes, so he asked me to go to his place once a month to tell jokes. I became acquainted with the emperor."

Li Daliang remained calm, but nodded slightly.

Qin Shuhuai had already memorized this set of rhetoric by heart, and he and Wang Chengen also said the same.Every time he met with Chongzhen, he used this reason. Not only Wang Chengen knew about it, but the people in Dongchang also knew about it.

Seeing that there was no expression on Li Daliang's face, Qin Shuhuai continued, "But if you like it, your majesty is still a bit stingy. I originally thought that I have such a good relationship with the majesty, how can I get a half-job of Guangzong Yaozu? I couldn't stop, so I asked the emperor if he could make me an official, even if it was a sesame mung bean official. But the emperor just laughed and slapped me on the head."

After hearing this, Qi Jin immediately said, "Presumptuous! Qin Shuhuai, how dare you slander the emperor."

Qin Shuhuai looked indifferent, and said, "What are you afraid of? This is in the Jianghe Gang, and the little Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care about us Jianghu people. If he doesn't give me an official job, can I still be an official in the Jianghe Gang? So I also Now that I understand it, the imperial court is all bullshit, and only our Jianghe gang is loyal."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shuhuai picked up the apple on the table and started to chew, with a look of being generous.

At this moment, Qin Shuhuai felt that his "acting career" had reached its peak, and felt that what he just said, both in tone and in action, were natural.If he hadn't come to this world, he wouldn't have known that he still had such a good acting talent.

When he said these words, he just wanted to express two meanings.One is that although the relationship between Chongzhen and himself looks good, Chongzhen only regards himself as a pistachio to accompany him to relieve boredom, and he refuses to even let himself be a sesame official.Second, I still don't know that the Jianghe Gang was created by the imperial court. Chongzhen didn't even tell himself this, so naturally he wouldn't let himself control the Jianghe Gang.

Qi Jin wanted to reprimand Qin Shuhuai again, but Li Daliang stopped him with a look.

Smiling, Li Daliang said, "Guardian Qin is right. The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have never interfered with each other. Naturally, we can't control our Jianghe gang. What's the harm in talking about it?"

Qin Shuhuai was taken aback, his brows slightly frowned.

Li Daliang laughed again, and said, "Okay, Protector Qin, don't think about being an official in the future. Work hard in our Jianghe Gang, isn't it the same as being an official?"

Qin Shuhuai stared blankly at Li Daliang again, and saw a pair of smiling eyes hiding an elusive aura, like another pair of eyes looking at him behind the mirror, but he couldn't see clearly in the mirror the man behind.

Qin Shuhuai felt as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice, and his whole body felt chilly.

He knows that if things develop normally, it will never be the way it is now.

No, something must be wrong!
Li Daliang smiled lightly again, and said, "Guardian Qin, go back and take care of your guardian hall, and don't disappoint the expectations of the gang."

Qin Shuhuai was stunned again, and then said, "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

After finishing speaking, he secretly took a breath of cool air, but his face remained calm, and he left the room.

Seeing Qin Shuhuai going out, Qi Jin shook his head and smiled, and said to Li Daliang, "Master, this kid has such a temper, you..."

The smile on Li Daliang's face quietly froze, and then the clouds rolled up, like a sign that thunder was about to come.

"This person is so ambitious that he is about to burst out of the embankment, can't you see it?"
