Chapter 48
The next day, Li Cunshan came to Qianzhangyan with two followers.

As the name suggests, Qianzhangyan is a very high mountain, but this mountain is different from others. There are rocks everywhere on the mountain, few trees, and only halfway up the mountain is there a patch of green.Dazhai of Qianzhang Cliff is located halfway up the mountain.

There were originally two village owners in Qianzhangyan, the first village owner Iron Fist Zhang Donglai, and the second village owner Wuyingjian Lu Feng.Mowangling sent people to incorporate Qianzhangyan. The two village leaders disagreed.

Later, Qiu Jiu led people to attack Qianzhangyan, and the master of the second village and the master of Dazhai turned against each other, and cooperated with Qiu Jiu to kill the master of Dazhai, Iron Fist Zhang Donglai. He is a master of Huajin, but Qiu Jiu and Lu Feng put Zhang Donglai to death with their joint efforts. It can be seen that Zhang Donglai's reputation is not in vain.

After that, Mowangling sent people to Qianzhangyan, Wuyingjian Lufeng became the master of the first village, and Kuangmo Yanfeng became the master of the second village.Qianzhangyan was replaced by the Demon King Lingda.

Li Cunshan brought people to the Juyi Hall of Qianzhangyan, and saw a person sitting in front of him, with a square head and big ears, and an extraordinary bearing.Sitting next to him was the owner of the second village, Kuangmo Yanfeng.

"Master Lu, I'm Li Cunshan, the fifth son of the Li family, to greet you." Li Cunshan was very cautious when he arrived on the mountain, but now he had to do so on the one-acre land in Qianzhangyan.

"Li Lao Wu, you are here because of your elder brother Li Lao Si! Come and serve tea." Lu Feng was expressionless, showing no emotions.Yan Feng on the side stared at Li Cunshan with bull's eye.

"What Master Dazhai said is very true. I came here just for my fourth brother. I don't know where my Li family has offended Qianzhangyan. If there is anything wrong, please ask Haihan." Li Cunshan just wanted to sit down and listen to Master Dazhai. Hastily got up and bowed to salute.

"Sit down and talk!" Lu Feng said.

"Hmph! You didn't offend Qianzhangyan, but you can do it, Man Fei, who killed my good friend Qianzhangyan." Yan Feng on the side said coldly.

Li Cunshan's heart skipped a beat, and his elder brother was right, Qianzhangyan was indeed here for Man Fei's murder.

"This is the Lord of the Second Village! We are good friends with Man Fei, and it is true that we asked Man Fei to come down the mountain to vent his anger on my Li family. Just when Man Fei was about to vent his anger on my Li family, he did not expect the second hero of Fengyun to find him This led to Man Fei being killed. The Donghe branch of my Li family was also ransacked by the county government. It should be said that our Li family was also the victim." Li Cunshan said aggrieved.

"Stop talking nonsense, our friend Man Fei was killed by your Li family, and the cottage was destroyed. This matter cannot be undone, so you can figure it out!" Yan Feng said with a glare.

"Second brother, be safe and don't be impatient!" Wuyingjian Lu Feng said lightly: "This manfei and I are brothers and sisters. We came to this mountain together. He founded Qingshuigou Dazhai. I came to Qianzhangyan to establish a foundation. We have After decades of friendship, I don't want him to lose his life to vent out anger for your Li family. It's a pity!" Lu Feng's eyes were red, and he said falsely.

It is true that Lu Feng has friendship with Man Fei, but it has not reached such a level.The main reason is that he was entrusted by Yan Feng to act for the Li family. For the sake of money, Lu Feng played a friendly role.

Li Cunshan is not an idiot either, seeing this situation, he hastily took out the banknote and offered it with both hands: "You two village owners, we know that we are wrong, and we have always wanted to compensate Man Fei's relatives, but we have not been able to find them until now. Thanks to the two of you for reminding us, we have prepared some silver as compensation to you two. Please forgive me!"

Lu Feng took the bank note, glanced at it and handed it to Yan Feng.Yan Feng curled his lips and said: "This is a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver, what are you sending beggars? I heard that you have given the state a lot of benefits in order to settle the situation. Is your Li family looking down on us Qianzhangyan? Come here !"

"Second village master wait a minute! We have something to discuss. If you think the money is short, you can ask for a price. I will prepare it." Li Cunshan was really afraid that the bandits would kill him in anger.

"How about this, your Li family gave out 200 million taels of silver, and we will let the fourth master go down the mountain. This time, the income of your Li family's caravan will be regarded as interest. We will collect it together. From now on, we will give us 100 million taels of silver every year. I will help you pass it on to Man Fei's descendants. What do you think?" Lu Feng looked at Li Cunshan with his big eyelids drooping.

Li Cunshan secretly said: "You Qianzhangyan is too dark. You actually need 200 million taels per mouth, and you have to spend 100 million taels every year to support Man Fei's descendants. Who doesn't know that Man Fei has no descendants. It's blackmail in disguise."

"Master Dazhai, this matter is of great importance. I have to go back and discuss with the Patriarch whether the money that honors you can be reduced. Our Li family has been busy recently and we don't have so much cash on hand!" Li Cunshan smiled wryly. road.

"It's easy to handle, you pay 200 million taels of silver, and the rest of the annual support money, we can become a shareholder of your Li family's property. How about we Qianzhangyan only take 30.00% of the running water? Don't worry, the caravans you come in and out every year , there is no need to pay money to the cottage along the road. We can borrow the name of Qianzhangyan from you." Yan Feng, the owner of the second village, laughed.

"This..." Li Cunshan cursed in his heart, you might as well grab it, since 30.00% of the running water is given to you, so our Li family should stop doing it.

"I will discuss it with my elder brother and reply to the two village owners in the next few days." Li Cunshan forced an unnatural smile on his face.

In the Li family mansion, Li Cunxiao was so angry that he paced back and forth, cursing: "Bandits, a group of robbers. They are robbing."

"Brother, it's too late to say anything now, let's think about what to do. Getting angry can't solve the problem." Li Cunshan advised from the side.

"Here, give them. You go and call the big steward and ask him to bring the account book." Li Cunxiao had lost his mind, and he couldn't beat him, and he couldn't make sense. He was in the hands of the bandits in Qianzhangyan, so he could only give it to him. money.

"Master, you are looking for me." The head housekeeper walked into the study with the ledger in his arms.The accounts of the Li family are all in the hands of the chief steward, and apart from Li Cunxiao, only the chief steward knows the property status of the entire Li family.

"How much cash do we have left to use?" Li Cunshan asked.

"Master, I gave 500 million taels to the state before, and now I can use no more than 200 million. If this money is used again, our Li family will sell its assets." The big housekeeper said.

"You take an inventory of our Li family's assets, and take out all the businesses that are not very profitable. Only keep the most profitable ones, and return the funds as soon as possible. In the other three days, raise 200 million taels of silver and hand it over to the fifth child." Li Cunxiao said weakly. .

"Master, doing this will hurt the Li family, you..." The head steward wanted Li Cunxiao to reconsider, but Li Cunxiao waved his hand. He knew the situation of the Li family best, but his brother had to do so in Qianzhangyan. Save, that's the only way.

The butler sighed and turned to go out.Li Cunshan on the side persuaded: "Brother, why don't you think about it again, let's invite someone to help and talk about it, maybe we can..."

"No need. Who can come forward to mediate this matter for free? My Li family is in turmoil now, and I can't stand the storm. Give them the money as soon as possible, and let this matter be over!" forget about it.

Two days later, Li Cunshan went up the mountain with money and took Li Cunyong home.

Lao Han hid in the Qianzhangyan cottage, looked at the backs of the Li family brothers, and sneered in his heart: "It's too early to end this matter."
