Chapter 114: Perfect Lies
"Brother Li, your Lijiazhuang is in a disaster!" Ximen Qingyu was not shocking and died, so he directly gave a dose of strong medicine.
"Puff!" Li Ying directly spit out a mouthful of tea, looking shocked, and then asked quickly: "Emperor Yi, why do you say this? My Lijiazhuang has not done anything to rebel or do anything to harm the truth. How can there be a disaster of extermination? And who dares to destroy my Lijiazhuang?"
Li Jing knocked on the table, looked at Li Ying, and said in a heavy tone: "Brother Li, I am not lying to lie to you, but I am telling the truth. As for who wants to attack you, you should be very clear in your heart. As for the reason, it is naturally because the honest Brother Li did not agree to the suggestions of some people..."
Ximen Qing’s prompt was very obvious, so Li Ying immediately guessed Zhujiazhuang.
Li Ying slapped the table violently, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground and broke. Li Ying stared with his eyes and said with his eyebrows: "Do you Zhujiazhuang? They dare! My Lijiazhuang is not easy to bully. My Lijiazhuang is 2,000 guests in Lijiazhuang. Are you still afraid that Zhujiazhuang will not succeed? His Zhujiazhuang is only 3,000 soldiers at most. How could he destroy my Lijiazhuang?"
Ximen Qing nodded and said, "If this happens, Zhujiazhuang will naturally not be able to destroy Lijiazhuang. But Brother Li, can you know that Zhujiazhuang has planned to borrow 500,000 taels of silver to expand its power. 500,000 taels is enough to support tens of thousands of people. By then, will Zhujiazhuang have power?"
In fact, Ximen Qing didn't know how much the 500,000 taels were, nor did they know whether the Ximen family's property was 500,000 taels! This was said, of course, to have momentum, to scare Zhu Chaofeng and Li Ying. If Ximen Qing could calculate carefully and exchange all the 500,000 taels of silver for copper coins, Ximen Qing would probably not be so exaggerated...
Sure enough, when he heard about 500,000 taels, Li Ying looked the same as Zhu Chaofeng, and his face was shocked.
Li Ying frowned, clenched his fists, and asked in a low voice: "Who lends it to him? I'll kill that person now!"
Ximen Qing touched his nose, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Brother Li, that person is my Ximen family!"
"It's you?" Li Ying was shocked and stood up directly, then roared with anger: "You, Ximen Qing, what do you mean? I respect your character and treat you wholeheartedly, but you lend money to my enemy and forced me to destroy the Lijiazhuang family. And now I'm here to ridicule me, are you really thinking that Li Ying can bully me?"
After saying that, he wanted to pull out the flying knife from the wall behind him.
Ximen Qing quickly pressed Li Ying and smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, do you really think that Ximen Qing is such a person? Do you come here just to ridicule you?"
Li Ying stopped immediately, and after thinking in his heart, he felt that Ximen Qing was right. Li Ying calmed down for a moment, then bowed to Ximen Qing and said, "Emperor Yi, I offended so much just now, please don't blame him! Li Ying is not here to compensate!"
Ximen Qing quickly helped Li Ying up and said with a smile: "Brother Li is polite. If I face such a thing, I will definitely be as anxious as Brother Li!"
Li Ying nodded, then sat down and asked, "Emperor Yi, what's going on? You have to talk about it for me!"
At this time, Li Ying felt extremely anxious.
Ximen Qing said: "Brother Li, that's it! I went out to travel and passed by Zhujiazhuang, so I stayed in Zhujiazhuang, and was treated by Zhu Chaofeng. I saw that although Zhu Chaofeng was warmly entertaining me, he had other plans in his heart, so I left a thought to see what he wanted to say. As expected, yesterday, Zhu Chaofeng found me and told me how domineering Brother Li's Lijiazhuang was, how to strengthen his troops, and how to have conspiracies. In short, he said whatever bad things were, and said that Brother Li's Lijiazhuang was about to rebel. Finally, Zhu Chaofeng expressed his thoughts, and he wanted to ask me to borrow money, and he was 500,000 taels in one breath! Brother Li, you know
, My Ximen family has some small money. Although it is a lot of 500,000, it is not impossible to take it out. Although it can be taken out, I must be cautious. I am afraid that Zhu Chaofeng will use the 500,000 taels to do bad things, which will be troublesome! Therefore, I indirectly guessed from Zhu Chaofeng's words that he borrowed money not to consolidate his family's invasion, but to destroy Lijiazhuang and even seize Liangshanbo! I appreciate Brother Li's character, so I refused to borrow money. Today I came to visit Brother Li to remind Brother Li, hoping that Brother Li would pay attention! Zhu Chaofeng could not lend money to me, but was afraid that he would still borrow money like others, so Brother Li had to be careful... "
As soon as Ximen Qing finished speaking, Li Ying gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely: "Zhu Chaofeng, you old man, really sinister and vicious! I just didn't agree with your alliance, so you wanted to be so mean to me, hum! How can I, Li Ying, get through with you!"
After scolding, Li Ying bowed directly to Ximen Qing and said, "Thank you for your reminder this time, otherwise my Lijiazhuang will suffer. Here, please accept my Li Ying's three bows!"
Ximen Qing got into a trap and felt a little guilty about Li Ying. How could he bear Li Ying's big worship?
Ximen Qing quickly helped Li Ying up and said, "Brother Li is polite, get up quickly! By the way, Brother Li, while you are careful of Zhujiazhuang, it is best not to provoke Zhujiazhuang casually. After all, if the two villages fight, the villagers in Zhuangxia Village will suffer!"
Li Ying said: "Emperor Yi sympathizes with the people. I, Li Ying, admire you. Don't worry, as long as they don't act casually, I will not deliberately find fault! But my Lijiazhuang also has to expand the shopkeepers to deal with the attacks of Zhujiazhuang!"
Finally, Ximen Qing did not forget to say, "By the way Brother Li, please don't tell others what we said today! After all, the things I said were revealed to me by Zhu Chaofeng. If others know about it, then my face, Emperor Yi, will be embarrassing to the ends of the world!"
Li Ying laughed and said, "Don't worry, Emperor Yi, I, Li Ying, will never reveal a word. If there is one, you will not die well!"
After saying that, Li Ying stood up and said, "Emperor Yi, the banquet is almost ready, let's get in!"
Ximen Qing nodded, followed Li Ying out of the study with a smile...
Afterwards, Ximen Qing, Li Ying and Du Xing entered the banquet. As for Zhu Feng, he left when Ximen Qing and Li Ying entered the room to discuss. It is estimated that when he returned to Zhujiazhuang, he would damage Li Jiazhuang with exaggerated words.
