After Liu Zhan learned about this, he did not show any surprise and sighed softly: "Everything is over."
Zhao Yunkai said: "Okay. You have done your best on this matter, and we can live up to Brother Chengyong."
Liu Zhan sighed, "However, we owe him too much. Let's find a time to pay homage to them. I have buried Brother Chengyong's ashes and the fragrant ashes together."
Princess Yunkai stretched out and said, "Okay! We haven't gone to see them for a long time. I don't know if Brother Chengyong and Hanxiang are okay over there."
Liu Zhan said: "Speaking of which, when I just defeated Wang Jien, I was in a coma for a few days. I seemed to have met him on the Naihe Bridge."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes. He said that he and Hanxiang are very good, and he asked me to treat you well."
"Brother Chengyong has treated me like a sister since I was a child. It's a pity that he is Wang Jien's nephew."
"However, it is all his credit that this world is what it is now. He is the real hero. Okay, I'm going to deal with the alliance leader." Liu Zhan stood up and bowed to Zhao Yun, smiling and saying: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, please go back to your mansion and rest."
Zhao Yunkai pouted, "You're going to drive me away now!"
Liu Zhan said seriously: "I really still have a lot of things to be busy with. You suddenly came to visit today, and I have already pushed some things to Hua Feng and Brother Hu first."
Yun Kai took out a handkerchief and wiped Liu Zhan's face, "Okay. I know. I just came to see you. You should also pay attention to rest more and don't work too hard."
"Yeah, okay." Liu Zhan walked his wife out of the gate of Jiangmen Alliance, put her on the carriage and watched her leave. Then Liu Zhan raised his head and looked at the plaque of "Oath to Jiangmen Alliance".
"Master, Brother Chengyong, I will not disappoint your expectations. I will definitely protect the peace of this world."
In a flash, seven years have passed. In the meeting hall of Jiangxi Alliance, a middle-aged man stood on a one-foot-high platform in front of the hall and spoke to the dozen or so people below. He has a slender body, a solemn demeanor, and a pair of sharp eyes on his thin face. He looks at everyone present, and it seems that no one's every move can escape these eyes. He was confident and calm, spoke sonorously and forcefully, and his powerful aura enveloped the hall. Everyone present listened carefully to every word this person said, and some even recorded what this person said on paper on the long table. No one dared to say a word when he was talking, and no one whispered underneath.
After the man finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, saying: "This is the current arrangement. Since these gentlemen have joined the Jiang League, they must act according to the rules of the Jiang League. If you are the leaders and gang leaders, do you have any objections? If you have any questions, please stay with me to discuss."
Everyone in the audience stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "We have no objections and will only comply with Leader Liu's arrangements."
Alliance leader Liu Zhan nodded, and like all the leaders and gang leaders, he packed up the papers in his hands. At this time, a disciple came in, handed a ledger to Liu Zhan, and said to Liu Zhan: "Leader, this is the ledger of the Longhang Chamber of Commerce's transactions with various gangs last month."
Liu Zhan took the account book and said, "Okay, go and do your work."
The disciple did not leave and continued: "Master Li of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, please see you."
Liu Zhan said without any hesitation: "No! Let him go back."
The disciple hesitated to speak, said "Okay" and then left.
Liu Zhan took the account book and walked out of the hall door. After Liu Zhan left, several gang leaders in the hall started talking.
"This Longxing Chamber of Commerce is now the largest chamber of commerce in the world. Leader Liu doesn't even give any face to Leader Li."
An older leader said: "You must be ignorant."
"I would like to hear the details." Then several other people came closer and listened to the older leader's explanation.
"Longhang Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhentian, Mr. Li's first wife, Ouyang Lan, is the sworn sister of Mr. Liu, Jin Lan."
"In this case, it stands to reason that Leader Liu and Leader Li should have a very close relationship."
"It was indeed a good relationship before. When the Longxing Chamber of Commerce was established, it was all a business brokered by Jiang Jiangmeng. In just two years, it has developed into the largest chamber of commerce in the world."
"Then why does it seem that Leader Liu is not very friendly to Master Li?"
"Ouyang Lan's father is Ouyang Jian, the leader of the Zhuren Clan, so the leader of the Zhuren Clan is also Liu Zhan's adoptive father."
"Master Ouyang, I know that the Zhuren Sect's weapons are second to none in the world."
"Yes. Six years ago, Mrs. Ouyang died unexpectedly. Sect Master Ouyang led people to attack Master Li at Mrs. Ouyang's funeral."
"Oh~ In other words, Alliance Leader Liu is on the side of Sect Leader Ouyang, right?"
The man shook his head and said: "No, not only no, it can even be said that this matter was pacified and mediated by Alliance Leader Liu."
"Then why?"
The man whispered to these people: "I heard that Mrs. Ouyang and Leader Liu had an affair, so..."
"If all the leaders and gang leaders are fine, please leave on your own!" A serious voice came from the door.
Everyone looked at the door, bowed to the door one after another, and said, "Vice President Hua."
"Everyone, since the meeting is over, please leave. I need to arrange for someone to clean the room. If you are interested, I swear that Jiangmeng will prepare food and wine, and let a disciple take you to taste and rest."
These few people realized that Hua Feng's words were hidden in words, so they all waved their hands and left the meeting hall.
Hua Feng walked to the room where Liu Zhan worked. Liu Zhan was writing and reviewing the documents on the table. Hua Feng said: "Senior brother, you still don't want to see Zhentian."
Liu Zhan didn't even raise his head and said, "Is there anything visible?"
"Is it because of Mrs. Ouyang?"
Liu Zhan put down the pen in his hand, with an angry look on his face, "It's been six years! I've been searching for the truth about Lan Mei's murder, but there's no clue at all!"
"But this probably has nothing to do with Zhentian."
"Who knows? Maybe it was actually Li Zhentian who did this. How good he is now, the Chamber of Commerce is making money every day, and not long after Lan Mei died, the Zhou family was rehabilitated."
"In any case, there is no evidence yet to prove that it was Zhentian who did it."
"There is another reason why I don't see him, that is, he misunderstood that Lan Mei and I have an affair. Lan Mei is so affectionate to him, and he would actually doubt Lan Mei."
"This... I am not afraid of shadows when I am upright. I know that senior brother you and Mrs. Ouyang are innocent."
"It is useless for us to believe that when these words are released, those who need to doubt them will have their doubts, and that is enough."
"All right."
"It's okay. I can distinguish between public and private affairs. Over the years, the Jianghu and the imperial court have been at peace with each other because of the trade exchanges promoted between the Jianghu Alliance and the Longhang Chamber of Commerce."
"Senior brother, if Zhentian really did this, what would you do?"
Liu Zhan blurted out, "I will kill him."
"Okay! Then I'll go back to Zhentian now. He's still waiting at the door of Jiangxi Alliance."
Liu Zhan was speechless and continued to review the documents on his desk.
Hua Feng walked to the gate of Jiangmen Alliance, where a tall and burly man eight feet tall was waiting at the door. When he saw Hua Feng, he greeted him and asked, "A Feng. How are you? Brother Liu, do you want to see me?"
Hua Feng shook his head, "Zhentian, you'd better go back today."
Li Zhentian looked frustrated and said to Hua Feng, "A Feng, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's not too much trouble, it's just a matter of sending a message."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink when I'm not busy one day." Li Zhentian said, getting ready to get on the carriage and leave.
Hua Feng looked at Li Zhentian seriously and said, "Zhentian, does Ouyang's murder have anything to do with you?"
After hearing this, Li Zhentian's face showed sadness and confusion. Li Zhentian lowered his head and said, "It must be related. If I had escorted the mother and son back to Zhu Renmen together, this would not have happened." In Li Zhentian's eyes, With tears in his eyes, he closed his eyes, got on the carriage and left.
Hua Feng watched Li Zhentian's carriage go further and further away, gradually disappearing from sight, and sighed: "This feeling can be remembered later, but it was already at a loss at that time."
In the city of Luoyang, there is a bustling brothel. A beautiful woman was sitting in the center of the hall. Many young men were shouting hard in order to have a kiss and spend the night with this girl.
"Five hundred taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
"Seven hundred taels!"
"Why are you shouting one hundred taels and one hundred taels! I'll give you one thousand taels!" Everyone looked for the voice and headed there. The table was filled with delicacies, but there was only a sixteen-year-old boy sitting alone at the table, with not even a servant around him.
Mother Liu hurried over and said charmingly: "Second Young Master Li, why didn't you tell me when you came?" Then she said to everyone: "Second Young Master Li has given you one thousand taels, who else among you wants to add?" ?"
"One thousand one hundred taels!"
The second young master Li drank a glass of wine and said with disdain: "I told you, don't scream one hundred two hundred taels! Two thousand taels!"
Everyone was in an uproar. When Mother Liu heard "two thousand taels", she smiled from ear to ear and said, "As expected of the second young master of the Li family, he is generous when he makes a move! My! Here's to you." Mother Liu poured a glass. Drink all the wine in one gulp.
Mr. Li yelled: "Why is no one shouting anymore! Keep shouting! I have a lot of money, young master!"
Someone muttered on the side: "Isn't it because my family is rich! Look at him like that!"
"Keep your voice down, we can't afford to offend the Li family of Yinlong Villa."
"Master Li is a generous, smart and diligent man. The eldest son of the Li family is also good at both civil and military affairs and is upright. Why is it that the second son of the Li family is such a playboy."
"I guess the good ones have all been passed on to the older ones. So the bad ones have all been passed on to the second guy. Forget it, if we can't offend him, why can't we hide from him?"
Mother Liu said: "Two thousand taels, if no one adds more, Miss Luohua will belong to Mr. Li tonight."
At this time, there was no sound of raising the price. Mother Liu hurriedly called Miss Luohua over and said, "Tonight you are the second master Li's, and you have to serve him well." Mother Liu winked at Li Yu and smiled. Hehehe walked away.
Miss Luohua came to Li Yu's side and said, "Why is there only one young master?"
"What's the point of calling so many people when I go out to drink? They won't drink with me, and they keep trying to persuade me not to drink, so why should I call them!"
"Young Master, those people don't ask you to drink. It's just because they don't drink well and they don't dare to drink with you. Since they don't drink with you, then Luo Hua will drink with you." Then he poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Li Er. Young Master, "I respect Young Master!"
"Hey, okay!" Mr. Li took the wine and drank it happily.
"Come again!"
Luo Hua once again poured wine for Mr. Li, and in a short while, the two of them had drank three bottles of wine. After the fourth pot of wine was finished, Li Yu said: "More wine!"
A girl put the wine on the table, and Luo Hua filled the glass again. Second Young Master Li picked up the wine glass and was about to drink when a delicate hand grabbed Li Yu's wrist and said in a slightly scolding tone: "Second Young Master!"
