Li Guangbei sat in the study room and did not sleep. He could not sleep either. At night, a letter from Chengdu was delivered to him.
"That kid from the Lin family has really made a name for himself.。”
"Lin Tianhong has actually become Xiong Kewu's favorite person and is Xiong Kewu's most trusted Chief of Staff!!”
Li Guangbei frowned. Lin Tianhong's father was his sworn enemy. Both of them were deputy county magistrates. However, after a fight, Li Guangbei became a deputy county magistrate while Lin Tianhong's father failed. In a fit of anger, he left Chengdu. He did not expect that he would become a big shot in Chengdu now.
..............................................
It was no wonder that in the past few years, there had been waves of people coming to Guangyi City. Li Guangbei finally knew who he had offended.
At this moment, Li Guangbei suddenly heard a noise outside the door and his heart tightened.
"Master, Master, someone is knocking on the door.”
The old butler, Ah Fu, also knocked on the door of the study with fear in his heart. Someone knocking on the door at this time was definitely not a good thing.
"I heard it, Ah Fu."
"Let's go and take a look."
Li Guangbei stood up and the butler lit up the lights in the residence. It was a blessing, not a curse. If it was a curse, it could not be avoided, and it was useless to hide.
"Open the door, Ah Fu."
"Yes, Master."
The next moment, the door was opened. Li Guangbei saw a man he would never forget. His feet were shaking, and his entire body was trembling. It was his son, the only son he had beaten and scolded away from the manor.
This kid had caused him a lot of trouble in the city. Fighting, gambling, smoking, brothels, what kind of things had he not done? But now that Li Guangbei saw Li Yao, all his anger disappeared…
Even when he secretly sent Shen Wan's servant girl over, he, as the county magistrate's father, spent an unknown amount of money to settle that matter…
Fortunately, this kid really did not do anything to the Shen family's girl. Otherwise, this kid would not have the life to stand here.
"Old Master, it's Young Master. Young Master is back!!”
" Young Master Li Yao, it's really Young Master Li Yao…"
The old butler's voice was trembling. Back then, Young Master Li Yao left without saying goodbye. It was about half a year later that someone in the mansion found Young Master Li Yao. They said that Young Master Li Yao was in the town of Mount Tang in the south. However, because Young Master Li Yao was too much of a bastard, the old master did not ask anyone to invite him home. Naturally, no one looked for him.
Now, the Li Residence was about to exist in name only.
How much resentment he had in the past, what could be eliminated would be eliminated.
"Father, this is not the time to talk. I'll cut to the chase. I know what happened in Li Mansion and Guangyi County. I know you're also very curious about it. However, I don't have time to explain it to you now. I only hope that father can believe me. From now on, you'll personally give the order to gather all the office workers and rich businessmen in the city. No matter if you hear gunshots or cannons, you must ensure the stability of the county!!”
"Monk, from now on, the safety of my father in the Li Residence is all yours. If you lose a single strand of hair, get lost and go to the kitchen.!”
Li Yao shouted with a cold gaze. Li Guangbei and the other servants in the mansion could not believe his eyes, especially when Li Yao said that the young master was going to do something.
When he saw the soldiers behind Li Yao who were all armed with live ammunition, even Li Guangbei was shocked. What had his son been doing for the past year?。
He was taller, his body stronger, and even his gaze had completely changed. Compared to before, it was as if he had been reborn and was a different person.
"Yes, Battalion Commander. I promise to complete the order!!”
The monk was a layman disciple of Shaolin Temple. It was also a coincidence that he met Li Yao. Back then, he was clamoring to have a duel with Li Yao, but who knew that he would be defeated by Li Yao in a few moves. Li Yao saw that he had some skills, so he stayed by his side as a guard.
Li Guangbei quickly sized up the monk and his men. Compared to Wang Lei and the others, as well as the soldiers who had come before, his son, Li Yao, was more like a real soldier. Whether it was his posture or the weapons on his body, they were more formal!!
Did this monk just call his son Battalion Commander?？
When did Li Yao become a battalion commander?
Where did these soldiers come from? Why was there no news at all?
...................................................
Li Guangbei knew very well that bullets and firearms were more expensive than gold in Da Qian, especially high-quality weapons.。
For example, a normal rifle would sell for around 30 dollars, but it could be sold for 40 dollars or even higher on the black market. Firearms were not something that ordinary people could afford.
"Father, tonight, Guangyi County must not fall into chaos.”
Li Yao's voice was full of unquestionable certainty, which made Li Guangbei believe him subconsciously. Then, he nodded.
"Alright, I'll immediately send someone to inform him.”
Li Guangbei seemed to have understood something, but he still found it hard to believe. Where did this kid get these soldiers? There was even a Hanyang made one for each person?
What happened today was too unbelievable.
Was his son really going to rebel?？
Half an hour later, all the bailiffs and wealthy merchants of Guangyi County were gathered at the Li Mansion. When they saw Li Yao in his military uniform, they were all extremely shocked.
What was going to happen tonight?
Why did this devil come back and gather all the bailiffs in the city?
In the beginning, there were still people who talked too much.
However, when the monk and another guard carried a Maxim heavy machine gun and placed it in the middle of the courtyard, everyone did not dare to breathe. It was said that this kind of stun gun could not be blocked by thousands of troops once it was fired...
Night, 2:28 PM!
"Everyone, I think you know better than anyone else how many Sichuan troops have gone to Guangyi County to swindle military expenses and support Chengdu in the past few years.”
"My Li family's assets have been completely wiped out in the past few years. I believe that everyone's residences will be the same. Today, we'll hold a donation meeting, and tomorrow, we'll hold a donation meeting. At the end of the year, we'll have an annual fee.。”
" Other people can exploit us at will with the army, cannons, and rifles, but the money is earned by our own hard work. Are you really willing to be trampled under the feet of the beasts who are like bandits and be treated as meat on the chopping block?？”
Li Yao looked at his watch and continued.
" In two minutes, my battalion will attack the Chengdu Infantry Regiment that just entered Guangyi County today..."
" I can guarantee that the war will be a one-sided massacre. The terrifying infantry regiment in your eyes is nothing in my eyes. They are just a bunch of barbarians holding fire sticks and have no idea what an army is!!”
"I will bring new factories, new technology, and new money-making projects to Guangyi County. I guarantee that Guangyi County will usher in a new era after tomorrow!”
" And I, Li Yao, have only one request. From now on, from tomorrow onwards, Guangyi County will fully support any decision that I, Li Yao, and my father make!!”
"If anyone is unwilling, don't blame me, Li Yao, for turning my back on you!!”
After saying that, Li Yao took out his pistol and aimed it at the sky. With a bang, the sound of gunfire exploded. It was also the signal for the two companies to attack.
