Four Symbols City.

Li Chengya's body was still stiff and unable to move.

It was quiet all around.

The quieter it is, the more inexplicable fears appear in my mind all the time.

As the elder of the Li family these years, I have not been able to handle many things with peace of mind, especially those who were forced to die. At this moment, their faces seemed to appear on the other side of the window, looking at her with disheveled hair.

Li Chengya's breathing quickened, she became truly frightened, and her hands and feet became cold.

She wanted to shout, but she couldn't open her mouth.

After a long time, she heard the door outside click and the closed door reopened.

At this moment, her heart suddenly stopped beating, her breathing stopped, stars appeared in front of her eyes, and she almost fainted.

"Elder Ya, I'm back again." A familiar voice came into his ears, and Li Qingyuan's face appeared in front of him.

Originally, when she saw this face, she had a knife in her hand and was sure to slash it, but now she actually felt that this face suddenly became friendly.

With the appearance of Li Qingyuan, the demons and ghosts outside the window disappeared instantly.

"Elder Ya, have you thought about it?"

"Support me, and I can ensure that you will gain greater power in the future. By then you will not only be an elder of the Li family, but may also become an official of the Sixiang City court. The Li family is just a business family.

It has the appearance of a powerful court official."

Li Chengya suddenly felt her body relax. The feeling of being unable to move due to anesthesia dissipated a lot, and she could speak again.

"Being an official? Li Qingyuan, are you serious?" Li Chengya managed to say a few words.

"Don't think I'm lying. I, Li Qingyuan, do what I say. Do you think that without the support behind me, I will find the yard where you hide your beauty? The power behind me is the imperial court! The emperor has given me the imperial edict. If I take it,

Head of the family, the Li family will be the imperial merchant from now on, no one can touch us..."

Li Qingyuan paused and said: "In addition, the imperial court will allow women to serve as officials in a while, but the assessment is extremely strict. It is based on recommendation and written examination. The number of places is limited. These are real court secrets."

Li Chengya gradually took control of her body. She took a deep breath, supported her body with her palms on the bed, and sat up.

"These are all your words. Where is the evidence?"

Li Chengya stared at Li Qingyuan. With her status and shrewdness, she would not be easily persuaded by words. Without substantial evidence, she would not be fooled.

"Token, imperial edict, take a look."

Li Qingyuan took out several tokens and an imperial edict.

The tokens belong to several people, and the imperial edict was drawn up by Qi Xingyun, and the big seals on it are all authentic.

At Li Chengya's level, it is very easy to distinguish the authenticity of various government tokens and seals.

After opening it, a look of surprise gradually appeared on Li Chengya's face.

These are actually true.

I didn't believe it at first, but now I do believe it somewhat. At least it is true that there is imperial power behind Li Qingyuan. As for whether he will have the opportunity to be an official in the future, that is a matter for the future. It is enough to get the promise in front of him.

"In this case, I promise to cooperate with you and support you in becoming the head of the Li family." Li Chengya truly expressed his stance this time. He was not pretending on purpose, nor was it a delaying tactic, but he truly agreed.

A smile appeared on Li Qingyuan's face. He raised his hand and took out a contract. The contents were drawn up in advance, which stipulated how Li Chengya should support Li Qingyuan's rise to power and what benefits he could get at the same time.

In this way, what was agreed just now is not a verbal agreement, but is written in black and white, which will definitely make people feel more at ease.

After reaching an agreement with Li Chengya, Li Qingyuan was already confident and was just waiting for the elders' meeting to start in three days.

…

There is an extremely mysterious forbidden place in the Li family compound. This is the Elder Hall, which is the highest center of power of the Li family. The elders gather together. Once something important happens, the elders will gather here and hold an elders meeting.

Deliberate collectively.

The head of the Li family does have great power, but if the six elders reach a consensus, they can decide on the choice of head. This entire system was formulated by the first head of the Li family.

After more than a hundred years of development, this system has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Li family and is almost unshakable.

The head of the family, Li Chengji, wanted to shake up the elder system, but in the end he could only replace a few elders, but was unable to fundamentally change the system.

At this time, there was a circle of people sitting in the elder's hall.

The six elders sat in a circle around a large table. At the same time, the head of the family, Li Chengji, sat in the core position.

When the elders vote, the six elders have six votes, that is, one person, one vote, and the head of the family, Li Chengji, has two additional votes.

For a certain matter, as long as more than half of the voting results are passed, it can be passed. If the family head randomly recruits two or three elders, it can easily exceed half, so under normal circumstances, anything the family head says can be passed.

To change the head of the family, one rule is that all six elders must agree to change the head of the family.

If this really happens, the head of the family will not be able to continue. After all, the six elders are against the head of the family, so there is no point in holding on to his position.

At this time, the seven people were discussing various matters.

At the same time, in another courtyard.

"What? The assassination failed?"

Mrs. Shen looked in disbelief.

Standing in front of her was a woman in red, with white powder on her face and lips as red as blood. She was Aunt Xia of the Yuanlong Organization.

"Yes, I failed. I tried my best. There are experts around Li Qingyuan. She is also a woman. She is very strong. I am no match." Aunt Xia said with a strange smile.

"You are no match for me? No one in Sixiang City can beat you." Shen said in shock.

"It's not that there is no one, it's just that I didn't meet it. Now that I have met it, I can't help it. The matter has not been completed. I will return the money to you on behalf of Yuanlong. We have given up on this order."

Aunt Xia screamed strangely.

"Give up? Aren't you Yuanlong able to take on all orders? I've never heard of such a thing as giving up," said Shen.

There was also a hint of panic in her heart. This was the first time she heard that the Yuanlong organization had given up on chasing a person. Before, she had only heard that Yuanlong asked for a high price and could not meet the requirements, but as long as the price was paid, it would not give up.

Basically, the goal is achieved 100%.

This is the first time I have given up on my own initiative!

"Who said Yuanlong would not give up? We never said this. Just go to whoever you listen to. Yuanlong will not accept orders that may endanger the organization itself," Xiagu said.
Chapter completed!
