Chapter 44 Zhongli City's Little Abacus "Oh, don't mind, it's actually normal."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man in white looked a little depressed, and couldn't help but smile and comfort: "You are still young, and it is normal for you to be inexperienced.
And Li Zhen is not so easy to deal with, if he is really a waste, he will not live today, it turns out that although he is not very old, he is also a thousand-year-old fox, more cunning than us hunters.
For such a person, he can't be killed by intrigue alone, and only by using upright and upright scheming can he be completely defeated. ” "I'm not angry about this, of course I know Li Zhen's ability, but I have studied his life thoroughly."
The young man in black took a sip of wine, looked at the middle-aged man in white and said angrily, "It's just ......
Don't you treat me as one of your own?
Why don't you tell me about this kind of thing?
Is this playing with me as a monkey?
” The middle-aged man in white was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Who used you as a monkey?"
Don't we have a little hope?
And my character is that before the results come out, I will never make a statement on something, after all, your strategy is still very good, we are actually a little lucky, if it succeeds, of course, everyone will be happy......
Obviously the thing was successful, but I disagreed with you in advance, isn't that slapping myself in the face?
A slap in the face is secondary, and our relationship will also cause a rift because of this, so I won't do this kind of loss-making business. ” "Forget it, whatever you want, let's do it like this, this is the money lost to you."
The young man in black threw out a gold ingot, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and staggered away: "This Li Zhen has no other ability, but the things he made are really good, sorghum wine is indeed the best in wine......
Okay, you keep drinking, I'm going to the play, it's rare that Li Zhen personally performed for a while, why don'......t you have to go to give someone a show?"
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, a trace of complexity flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he sighed for a long time and said: "Let people follow, keep an eye on him for me, and see what he has done." ” "Yes, sir."
Xiao Er, who was waiting next to him, flashed sharply in his eyes: "My lord, this person's origin is unknown, do we want to ......?"
Palm down, make an international gesture.
"Don't worry, this person is still useful to us, we can't touch him for the time being......"
The middle-aged man shook his head, but he didn't explain too much, but judging from the meaning of his words, he and the young man should be using each other, not all the way, or he is just unilaterally using the youth, and the young man doesn't know that he is being used.
"Yes, the subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire."
Since the boss has expressed his position, Xiao Er didn't say anything, respectfully stepped back, and began to arrange tasks. …… Li Zhen is very well prepared for this rebellion, and the mercenaries are also desperately prepared for this, although the young man in black and the middle-aged man in white are of unknown origin, but they still have a little hope for Zhonglicheng's rebellion this time, and feel that Li Zhen may still die in the hands of the rebels, and other major forces are also optimistic about this, thinking that even if Zhonglicheng can't kill Li Zhen, such a big rebellion in Luzon, and it happened under Li Zhen's nose, at least it will bring him a lot of trouble, Let him lose a lot of points on the Chang'an side.
In short, although Zhonglicheng's rebellion was very hasty, everyone felt that he would at least bring some losses to Li Zhen this time, but what no one expected was that at this time, there was a fire incident in the headquarters of the rebel camp......
Zhonglicheng is one of the two deputy protectors of the Luzon Metropolitan Protectorate, because Luzon belongs to the Upper Metropolitan Protectorate (the Metropolitan Protectorate is divided into upper, middle and lower three classes, and there is a large Metropolitan Protectorate above these three classes, but the organizational structure is different from the normal Metropolitan Protectorate, the chief official is the Metropolitan Protector, the deputy is two Deputy Metropolitan Protectors, and there are two lives of the Deputy Protector), so he is also a dignified senior official from the fourth grade, such a grade may not be anything in Chang'an, but it is already a rare high-ranking official in the local area, What's more, he still controls a place like Luzon, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters alone, all of them are well-equipped, and he is definitely a high power, if it weren't for the fact that there is a house on top of his head, he is the emperor of Luzon.
Zhong Licheng is the old man of the Luzon Protectorate, and even he himself is one of the people who discovered Luzon - when Liu Renliang discovered Luzon, he served as the captain of an escort warship, and even when Liu Renliang returned to Lingnan, someone needed to stay in Luzon, he took the initiative to apply to stay, and never went back to the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that he paid a lot, and he was a very loyal person to the imperial court.
Therefore, although his ability is not top-notch, Li Zhen took into account his dedication and merit, so he simply promoted him to the position of the chief historian of Luzon, and after several years of development, he also sat in the position of deputy protector because of his merit accumulation.
But people will change, with the gradual development of Luzon, it has become one of the most important places in the Nanyang Islands of the Tang Dynasty, more and more merchants have entered here, which has further promoted the development of Luzon, and finally turned it into one of the economic centers of Nanyang.
Under such a drunken gold obsession, Zhong Liwei gradually was corrupted by money, and gradually changed from a loyal and brave man in the Tang Dynasty to a corrupt official who is now bent on making money in his arms, and even in order to make money, he supported more than one spokesperson in the illegal area to make huge profits for himself.
And with the acquiescence of Fang Yiai and Li Zhen, Zhong Liwei became more and more rampant, not only supporting others to help him make money, but even he himself would participate in it, all kinds of contraband smuggled by himself over the years were worth no less than one million guan - you must know that the tax paid by Coconut Port to the imperial court in the past few years was only two or three million yuan, and the money he made himself actually reached one-third of the tax revenue of Coconut Port a few years ago, but think about how big his ability to make money is, not to mention the money brought to him by his spokesperson, it is definitely an astronomical amount, If this money is exchanged for food, it will even be enough for the people of the whole country to eat for a year.
Zhong Liwei knew Li Zhen, after all, when he was appointed as the deputy protector of the Luzon Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Zhenlai personally appointed him, but after all, he has not been back to the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and he has not seen Li Zhen for a long time.
What's more, he wasn't in the barracks yesterday, so he didn't get the news at the first time, when he got the report from his subordinates, judging from the size of the escort fleet and the appearance of the 'Holy Emperor', that the person was Li Zhen, Li Zhen had already entered the No. 5 area, and had a conflict with the trafficker Iron Boss.
That's right, the person who killed Xiang Shuai was not someone else, it was Zhong Licheng's person, because Xiang Shuai is the absolute henchman of Tie Boss, and he has a lot of secrets in his hands, including the account book of Tie Boss's every transaction, and Tie Boss is also one of the spokespersons pushed out by Zhong Licheng, which means that there is his criminal record of Zhong Licheng in this account book.
So when Zhong Liwei found out that Xiang Shuai planned to confess the account book of the Iron Boss in order to beg for mercy, he immediately became murderous and ordered his subordinates to snipe Xiang Shuai, and the methods were quite ruthless.
As for why he didn't just kill Li Zhen?
That's because Zhong Licheng knows Li Zhen's identity and status very well, if he dies at this time, then the crazy emperor and the court will definitely dig into it to the end, not to mention his little deputy protector, even if it is the second generation of Fang Yiai, who holds the power of the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death, not to mention his small deputy protector, and he only has the life of accompanying the funeral; What's more, don't look at Li Zhen There are only Cheng Chuliang, Fang Yiai and Lin Fa around him, but he knows very well that there are many bodyguards hidden around Li Zhen, and he guarantees that once his gunman aims at Li Zhen, then it must be his henchmen who die.
But what Zhong Licheng didn't expect was that Li Zhen had already premeditated, not only was his henchman captured alive, and he didn't even have time to commit suicide, but he also unknowingly blocked the fifth and sixth areas with thousands of people - looking at this is clearly the rhythm of rushing to kill.
If Li Zhen asks for something in the process of killing everything, then he will really die without a place to be buried in Zhongli City, not to mention that his henchmen are caught, even if Li Zhen can't get anything, as long as his henchmen confess themselves......
Assassinating the crown prince of the dynasty, he had only one way to die when he left the city.
It was also at this time that the news of Li Zhen's blockade of Area 5 and the public court came, not only Zhong Licheng himself was terrified, but some people who were as unclean as him also couldn't sleep at night.
As the person who is second only to the protector of the Luzon Metropolitan Protectorate in power and status, Zhong Licheng quickly learned what these people were thinking now, and with a flash of inspiration, he summoned these people together to discuss countermeasures, and as a result, they discussed and discussed, and they found that with the current situation, it was almost a sure thing for Li Zhenshun to find out about them, and it was just a matter of time.
If you want to avoid this kind of thing, one is to escape, but this is definitely not possible, they have nowhere to escape, so the only way left is to start before Li Zhen, that is, to rebel......
Coupled with the instigation of the strategists next to him, Zhong Licheng, who felt that the success rate of the rebellion was very high, was in his heart, and planned to strike first and catch Li Zhen.
And Zhonglicheng also has his own little abacus - when the time comes, as long as he kills Fang Yiai, Lin Fa and Cheng Chuliang, and arrests Li Zhen, then in the entire Coconut Port garrison, only his own rights are the greatest (the other deputy is in the south, not in the Coconut Port base), if he is fast enough to end the operation before others react, he can temporarily take the position of the protector, so as to completely grasp Lu Song in his hands.
Even if things don't go well, as long as you control Coconut Harbor is enough - Coconut Harbor is the most important port in Luzon, there are 10,000 garrisons alone, plus the garrisons of surrounding towns, it adds up to 20,000 people, as long as you hold these 20,000 people in your hands, plus the 10,000 marines of the Coconut Harbor fleet (a plus-class fleet has 30,000 marines, but the Coconut Harbor fleet is divided into three parts, so Coconut Harbor is only 10,000), 30,000 people plus a third of the fleet, Zhongli Cheng feels that he can completely keep the rights of Coconut Harbor, You can even swallow the surrounding territory, at least it is no problem to occupy the entire Luzon Island, as for whether to establish a country independently or accept the recruitment of the imperial court in the future, you have enough capital, and the imperial court has no way to take it yourself.
Zhong Licheng thought very beautifully, but the truth naturally would not be as smooth as he thought, although he was the deputy capital protector, but most of his troops were stationed outside, and if he wanted to gather them all, not only did he need the order of the capital protector, but it was too late in time, so he could only hurriedly lead the two thousand people he could mobilize at present and the one thousand people gathered by the rest of the people to make a move, planning to catch Li Zhen first and then talk about anything else.

Fortunately, things went well, at least at the beginning, things also came according to his plan, after he shouted the slogan of rescuing the prince, because of his sudden attack, plus the equipment was a little better than the other party, but at this time Li Zhen was sick and had a high fever and could not appear in front of people, causing the morale of Li Zhen's guards to plummet, Li Zhen's guards were almost unable to resist, and could only rely on the favorable terrain to resist layer by layer, but they could not fight back, if it took a long time, there was only one way to go - things went smoothly - it was incredible, So much so that Zhong Licheng felt that God was helping him, and he was indeed a natural emperor......
Just when Zhong Licheng felt that everything was going well, and he could immediately defeat the Young Army, capture Li Zhen alive, and then use this to negotiate with the imperial court, and finally establish a country on his own, and claim the king's hegemony, the temporary headquarters he set up in Area 4 was suddenly kicked away, and then several mermaids walked in.
"Mo Cong?
Sima Qi?
Xie Liang?
Zhou Zhu?
…… How did you guys get out?
Come on, come on, come on......
"Seeing the people, Zhong Licheng was shocked, he was too familiar with these people, because they were all his colleagues, among them, Mo Cong was Changshi, Sima Qi was Sima, Xie Liang was a record to join the army, and Zhou Zhu was a deputy general......
Although the grades are not very high, they are all powerful factions.
And they all have one thing in common, that is, they are both Fang Yuai's henchmen.
Therefore, in order to prevent these people from causing trouble for themselves or sending troops to rescue Li Zhen when they did it themselves, they thought of a reason before Zhongli Cheng attacked, coaxed these people over, and then put them under house arrest, and left a deputy general of his own henchmen to help him stabilize the camp and not allow others to come to the rescue, so as to ensure the smooth progress of his affairs.
But let him Zhong Licheng never expect that just when he felt that the matter was about to end, the group of people who were under house arrest by him actually appeared in front of him, and Zhong Licheng, who knew something bad in his heart, immediately began to call for help.
