In the lobby on the first floor of Yipin Building, there was a blind storyteller. He was a scruffy old man with white hair, and he was wearing a navy blue coat. Cheap erhu, the only feature is that it is old and out of shape.
The position arranged for the old storyteller in Yipin Building is next to the outside of the stairs. The table is no more than one foot wide and two feet long. The small one is outrageous, and the old one is outrageous. Some dust was shaken out, which made people worry that the small table would collapse.
The middle of the second floor is empty, similar to a patio, only there are private rooms separated from the front and back on the four sides, the left side faces the window, and the right side faces the vacated patio. Li Ye poured a glass of wine and signaled to Liu Zhiyan who was across the table: "This green ant wine is the specialty of this building, not to mention how fragrant it is, the only feature and the only advantage is that it is strong enough. Can the master drink it?"
There were only the two of them in the private room. Liu Zhiyan, who was wearing plain clothes and no makeup, took the jug, filled a glass for herself, raised her hands, and said to Li Ye seriously: "Your Highness has a great kindness for the Changhe Gang, and I will not thank you for the kindness. The little girl should do it first and respect her!"
The Huangli Township case was over, and Wei Baoheng was also exiled to Lingnan, but when he reached the Huaihe River, he died "unclearly and for nothing", and the court didn't bother to pursue it. None of the officials from the three provinces would stand up for Wei Baoheng.
A generation of powerful ministers just fell silent like this, and after their death, they didn't cause any waves.
The Changhe gang was not held accountable, and with Li Ye's help, atonement can always be guaranteed.
Liu Zhiyan drank one cup, her face remained normal, then she poured a second cup and drank it down again, after three cups, her flawless little face turned red twice, her head shook slightly, she struggled hard He opened his eyes: "This wine is really strong!"
Li Ye saw that she was rather cute, and couldn't help laughing out loud, so he raised his glass and said, "The boss is indeed a hero of the world, a man of temperament, come here, let's have a few more drinks!"
Seeing Li Ye's malicious smile, Liu Zhiyan's drunken eyes widened, and she deliberately refused, but hearing the words "gentleman", recalling the rare experience of "communicating in trouble" this time, and Li Ye's peaceful temperament, The word "good" blurted out involuntarily.
Seeing that Liu Zhiyan was so straightforward that he almost patted the table, Li Ye thought it was even more interesting.
After the two of them drank a few cups, Li Ye stopped. He had no intention of really getting Liu Zhiyan drunk.
"It's been a while since the Changhe gang left Weishui. I'm afraid that the share of freight under their name has been divided up by other gangs. This time when we return to Weishui, we will definitely face a more complicated situation. I will send you someone to help you out." Two." Li Ye said.
Liu Zhiyan clearly shook her head, but stubbornly held her head still, her pretty face was flushed, and she stared at Li Ye without blinking. This posture seemed to be desperate for someone.
Li Ye asked, "Does the Changhe Gang want to be the number one gang in Weishui?"
"What?" Liu Zhiyan suddenly heard this, but didn't react for a while.
Li Ye smiled and said, "First become the largest gang in the Weishui River, and then infiltrate into Shandong, and enter the Yellow River and Huaihe River basins. The imperial court's water transportation is a fat job, doesn't it mean that the Changhe Gang doesn't want a piece of the pie?"
No matter how much Liu Zhiyan drank, she was so shocked by Li Ye's words at this time that her eyesight was clear, but because of her eyesight, she stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer the words.
"I don't have the River Gang under my command now, so it's a coincidence that you appeared." Li Ye smiled half-smile.
Controlling the water transportation means controlling the lifeline of the dynasty's taxation, and has the opportunity to control the rich Huainan and Jiangnan. The world is about to be in chaos. An immeasurable advantage. Liu Zhiyan's mind is full of the words "It's a coincidence that you appeared", but she doesn't know how to answer, she is just a gangster girl, and the Changhe gang behind her is just a small fish and shrimp, she has never thought about the first gang in Weishui , let alone entering the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and several major canals.
"I'll give you half a year." Li Ye took a sip of wine, his eyes were deep and sharp, "Within half a year, if you can order all the gangs in Weishui, I will give you the status of Prince An's Mansion."
Speaking of this, Li Ye stared at Liu Zhiyan with deeper eyes: "But if you can't do it within half a year, I will replace it with someone else... Do you understand?"
Although Liu Zhiyan was innocent, she was not stupid. She naturally understood the meaning of Li Ye's words. If the Changhe Gang can't succeed with his help, it will be too useless, and Li Ye will support the new River Gang to replace the Changhe Gang.
This is an opportunity for the Changhe Gang to grow stronger.
The Changhe Gang has never encountered such a great opportunity.
Li Ye saw that Liu Zhiyan's eyes gradually became firmer, so he knew that she had made a decision in her heart, so he smiled and said, "If the boss has made up his mind, you and I will drink three more cups, which can be regarded as 'drinking wine as a bond', how about it?"
Liu Zhiyan's bright eyes, which were already very big, suddenly widened.
still drink
Do you have any intentions
Liu Zhiyan couldn't help shivering.
Li Ye was amused by her eyes again.
...
At this time, there was a crackling sound in the lobby on the first floor.
Behind the small table by the side of the stairs, the sloppy old man's gavel was being patted on the table, and the wood dust was flying towards his face, but he didn't realize it, and said in a sonorous tone: "It is said that King An came to Huangli Township alone, I looked into the robbed warehouse, and with just one glance, I found the traces left by the thieves, and immediately called a fisherman, bought his fishing boat, and went upstream along the Wei River to catch the thief's den!"
When Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan heard the movement, they both turned their heads to look at it. Hearing the old storyteller's impassioned speech, Liu Zhiyan took a look at Li Ye: "This gentleman is wrong!"
Li Ye didn't take it seriously: "If you're right, it's not called storytelling, it's called writing history."
Liu Zhiyan let out an oh, half-understood.
The old storyteller continued to speak passionately: "On that day, King An was driving a small boat at night, looking for clues. Unexpectedly, at the middle of the night, there was a sudden change. On the calm and dark river, more than ten large boats suddenly rushed out, and hundreds of men with sharp knives rushed out. Killed him out of the night, and surrounded An Wang! The first person is none other than Wei Jiangnan, the brother of the former prime minister with a high cultivation level!"
"good!"
"good!"
"well said!"
"His Royal Highness King An is a true hero! He dared to visit the bandit camp at night alone in a single boat. Such courage is really admirable!"

A big man stood up and praised loudly.
"I heard that King An didn't go alone, he brought officials from Chang'an Mansion with him!" a white-faced scholar beside the big man whispered.
The big man glared: "King An is full of courage, and he needs to bring some helpers to catch a few thieves?!"
The white-faced scholar shrank his neck: "That's how it is..."
"Damn it! Why don't you go up and say it!" The big man was furious, "If you can't, don't mutter here!"
The white-faced scholar's face flushed red, and he dared not speak out.
After the big man's victory, he snorted triumphantly: "What a hero King An is. He has been in office for several months, and he single-handedly investigated and dealt with the treacherous Prime Minister Wei Baoheng, and repaid my Great Tang Dynasty! Slander King An, don't blame my fist for not recognizing anyone!"
The scholar didn't dare to say more, but still lowered his head and muttered: "I also think King An is a hero..."
"Oh?" The big man raised his brows, and his brows were filled with joy. He grabbed the white-faced scholar and laughed, "It turns out that he is a fellow! Why didn't you say it earlier? Come on, come on, for the sake of King An, I will toast you." !"
"Here, I won't drink alcohol..."
"Don't drink? That's not giving me face? You can not give me face, but can you not give Wang An face?!"
"I drink, I drink..."
Looking at the interesting scene in the lobby, Liu Zhiyan couldn't help giggling, quickly covered her red lips, and took a peek at Li Ye. Seeing that the other side looked normal, she felt curious: "Your Highness, what kind of person is it to be praised in person like this?" Feel?"
Li Ye said calmly, "I'm used to it."
Liu Zhiyan: "..."
Li Ye was really used to it. Since Wei Baoheng was investigated, he didn't know what happened. The whole city of Chang'an knew it overnight. This was Li Ye's merit. Moreover, various legends spread quickly, depicting Li Ye as if a god descended from the earth, and he brought down the tyrannical villain with his own power, which attracted endless praise from the market.
Every time Li Ye went to the streets, he would hear all kinds of legends about him investigating and prosecuting Wei Baoheng...
As a result, in just half a month, countless lucks gathered towards him without stopping for a moment, and often when he woke up, he would find that his cultivation base had taken a big step forward, seeing that his cultivation base had reached the fifth level of Qi training In the later stage of the level, it is only one step away from breaking through the sixth level of Qi training!
According to Li Ye's estimate, it won't be too long to be promoted to the sixth level of Qi training. With the spread of deeds, these days, the luck gathered every day is more than the previous day... ...
Liu Zhiyan suddenly raised her wine glass and said to Li Ye: "Your Highness, I would like to offer you a toast!"
Li Ye glanced at her, Liu Zhiyan actually blushed and lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Li Ye said leisurely: "I don't know if the master has heard a word?"
"What are you talking about?" Liu Zhiyan held her toast, raised her head, and blinked blankly.
Li Ye said: "Women don't get drunk, men have no chance. Isn't the boss afraid?"
Liu Zhiyan was startled, and then blushed to the base of her neck.
But she didn't know where the courage came from, she raised her head and said, "I wonder if Your Highness has heard a sentence?"
"Tell me." Li Ye asked curiously.
Liu Zhiyan lowered her head again: "Your Highness is not drunk, and women have no chance... Are you afraid, Your Highness?"
Li Ye was stunned.
Still have this kind of operation
With a jingle, the wine glass in Liu Zhiyan's hand fell to the ground, and she lay down on the table, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Li Ye couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that he was talking nonsense when he was drunk... This wine is really a magical thing."
...
There are not only alcoholics but also temperamental people who hang out in restaurants all year round. It is not uncommon to share tables temporarily.
But it is relatively rare to see a man and a woman laughing and laughing, and even leaning over to ask for a drink together.
Rare does not mean not seen, Li Ye saw one right now.
With a jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, the person standing in front of the private room at this moment is a middle-aged man.
This man is tall and tall, with a thick back and waist. He looks like a strong man in the army, but he is dressed as a scholar. He is wearing a gray cloth shirt that has been washed white. That's right, wine is indeed a good thing, I wonder if you can do me a favor and have a drink with me?"
When Li Ye saw this person, his heart skipped a beat.
He felt a little strange today.
Because the guy in front of him is Huang Chao!
