The person Feng Ziying wanted to see really had no time to meet him at this time.
Li Sancai had been thinking about how to deal with it since he learned about the Linqing Civil War situation early in the morning.
The civil uprising was not a matter of the state affairs. Even if the White Lotus Cult bandits joined in, it was not the responsibility of him as the governor of state affairs and the admiral of the military affairs. It was a local matter in Shandong.
The Shandong Dusi can report to the Ministry of War. If he is concerned, he can also mobilize the guards and battalions first after consulting with the Chief Envoy and the Provincial Envoy. Anyway, it is not his turn as the Governor of Water Transport to worry about it.
But he also had to consider another question, which was what to do once the three warehouses in Linqing's inner city were destroyed?
Li Sancai, the hundreds of cavalrymen in the inner city, knew very well the details. They were all a bunch of drunkards and rice sacks. If the bandits really wanted to attack the city, they might not be able to stop them.
Even if he is not primarily responsible, he still has to clean up the mess behind him. I don't know how much money it will cost to rebuild Sancang. I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry again.
Li Sancai couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the faces of the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. For such a big thing, I'm afraid no one from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment would be able to get away with it.
The matter triggered stringent demands from the tax supervisor, but the Holy Emperor would not care about it. The needs of the nine sides, especially the Liao Dynasty, had already forced the Holy Emperor into chaos. Even if he drank poison to quench his thirst, the Holy Emperor would not care.
If nothing happens in Linqing, something will happen elsewhere. Li Sancai had expected this day, and he was even sure that even if this matter was suppressed, the Holy Father would not cancel the tax supervisor unless Who can help him solve the problem of empty Treasury treasury.
Of course, if such a big thing happens, a few scapegoats must be thrown out. The people in Kedao are afraid that they will rejoice again.
The question now is what should I do?
Pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, he needed to think clearly about the stakes here.
First, he had to take it out himself. If he had known it, he would have set off later. Thinking of this, Li San felt a little regretful.
If I had stayed in Xuzhou for two more days, I would have successfully avoided this hot potato. But now I am in Liaocheng, less than a hundred miles away from Linqing City. If I sit back and watch, I am afraid that those crazy dog-like officials will pounce again. He came up and bit him non-stop, and even if he finally managed to escape, he was still going to suffer some bad luck.
But thinking of the guy next to him who was eyeing him with eagerness, Li Sancai felt a headache again. This guy was also out of touch and kept a close eye on him. If he wanted to make any move, he was afraid that this guy would jump out again.
You need to think carefully about how to act, and you must not let others take advantage of you.

When Feng Ziying rushed to Shanshan Guild Hall, Wang Shaoquan had already arrived.
Knowing that Feng Ziying failed to see Li Sancai, Wang Shaoquan also had a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Feng Ziying saw it but didn't care.
Businessmen are very simple and straightforward in their thinking, and they must pay attention to return on investment.
What I said last night and what I said at the end probably gave the deacon of the Shanshan-Shaanxi Grain Gang something to think about.
Wealth has always been found in danger. Although the Shanshan Grain Gang is powerful, the governor of water transportation has been replaced, and they have not been able to establish the harmonious relationship with Li Sancai that they used to have.
Coupled with the fact that the Hui Gang is eyeing them, their sense of crisis is even greater.
Sometimes crises also mean opportunities.
Linqing City was in such a big mess, and the Shanshan Liang Gang suffered heavy losses. How to turn the crisis into an opportunity to make money depends on whether they are willing to take risks. These were the words Feng Ziying left when she finally left.
It seems that Wang Shaoquan is tempted.
"Mr. Wang, how is the situation in Linqing City?" After Feng Ziying handed over his hand, he sat down calmly. A servant had already brought tea, and Zuo Liangyu subconsciously stood behind Feng Ziying.
Wang Shaoquan nodded: "Master Feng's expectation is correct. The rebels are a mob. It is said that they have been arguing endlessly about whether to attack the inner city. Well, the White Lotus cult bandits advocated attacking and capturing the inner city, but others were unwilling. , I only said that I wanted to expel Eunuch Chang. In fact, as far as I know, Eunuch Chang has already left the city and gone to Texas."
"What do these bandits want to do? They can't keep making noises like this, right?" Feng Ziying couldn't understand the thoughts of these bandits, but this was the norm for these hasty rebellions.
There are divergent opinions and deadlocks. Everyone has his own opinion and his own people. It would be very interesting if the imperial assistant could still mix it up as he taught.
"Well, there seem to be some differences within the cult bandits." Wang Shaoquan didn't know why he would change the subject of the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in front of him. The entire initiative seemed to be completely in the hands of the other party, which made him very uncomfortable. adapt.
He had already thought of a countermeasure before coming here. If the other party failed to meet Li Sancai, then he could basically give up. Then Feng Tang was just a has-been general soldier. Hundreds of taels of silver were wasted, and the Liang Gang was considered I am worthy of my previous friendship.
"We found that some cult bandits have quietly left this morning, but most of the cult bandits are still looting in the city,..." Wang Shaoquan had a gloomy expression on his face, "If it is difficult to explain to Mr. Li Cao,..."
"Mr. Wang, as I said before, I have my own plan for this matter." Feng Ziying looked confident, "Don't be impatient for a moment. There will be news in an hour."
"Oh? Then I will just wait for the good news, young master." Wang Shaoquan smiled disapprovingly. If Chen Jingxuan can be the leader of the cavalry, then why should he take so much trouble?
The entanglement in this matter was too broad. Li Sancai and Qiao Yingjia stared at each other like a pair of black-eyed chickens, refusing to give in. If not for this, would the Grain Gang be able to wait until today? Chen Jingxuan is not even considered to be the last person in the company. If he dares to say big words, is he playing tricks on this kid?
Last night, there were already people here asking for information. Chen Jingxuan groaned and didn't dare to say anything. Qiao Yingjia couldn't even see anyone.
Wang Shaoquan didn't know that Feng Ziying left Chen Jingxuan's place and went to Qiao Yingjia's place. Feng Ziying only told Zuo Liangyu to tell Shanshan Guild Hall that she went to the General Water Transport Officer.
"What is coming will always come, but I still hope that Mr. Wang will keep his promise. If the Grain Gang can assist the government in dealing with this civil unrest, President Li Cao, Qiao Yushi and even President Chen will definitely appreciate it." Feng Ziying also said Pretend to be a master of wisdom.
In fact, he is also unsure now. The key depends on Chen Jingxuan and Qiao Yingjia. If he can see Li Sancai, he can be more sure, but now, it is a 50-50 decision.
When Chen Jingxuan walked into the back hall, Qiao Yingjia had already arrived, which made Chen Jingxuan feel a little bit more confident.
Could it be that Feng Ziying really has some tricks to persuade Qiao Yingjia? If so, this is really an opportunity.
He had reminded Feng Ziying before, but Feng Ziying was noncommittal and did not say it clearly. He only expressed the hope that he could make appropriate comments after the discussion. However, he hinted that if there was a chance, then the Liang Gang and the imperial assistant he mentioned could serve as internal agents.
Chen Jingxuan was also dubious about Feng Ziying's words. Although Feng Ziying's words and deeds were no different from that of an adult man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was not short, his childish face and pretended to be deep accent still reminded Chen Jingxuan that this was He is a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old.
He didn't know that Feng Ziying was not yet twelve years old, otherwise it would have been even more incredible.
