My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2133

The tea lid in Liu Zhi'an's hand flicked the tea foam lightly, and he was silent for a while when he heard Liu Mingzhi's doubtful question: "Why do you ask such a question? Does this old man seem to be in collusion with the White Lotus Sect's bandits?"

"Isn't it? Isn't Uncle Ling the best proof?
By chance, he became the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and he is your sworn brother, so it is not unbelievable that you have some entanglements with the White Lotus Sect. "

"Just because of these? I don't deny the fact that the old man and your third uncle are deeply affectionate, but just because of this, is it too arbitrary to think that the old man is involved with the White Lotus Sect?
Don't you forget?Many years ago, the White Lotus Sect made troubles in the south of the Yangtze River several times, and the businesses of our major commercial firms in the Liu family also suffered a lot!
If the old man has something to do with the White Lotus Sect, why would he just watch them harm our own business?

Damage the foundation of our family? "

Looking at Liu Zhi'an's weird face, Liu Mingzhi rubbed his temples and stood up, with his eyes slightly squinted behind his hands, he walked gently in front of the desk.

Liu Zhi'an sipped the tea and looked at First Young Master Liu with great interest, he was extremely curious about what kind of advice the eldest son could have.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Mingzhi stopped, frowned slightly and looked at the old man who was sitting on a chair sipping tea.

"Although there is no direct evidence to prove that you are involved with the White Lotus Sect, some things happen by coincidence, and they are also a bit unbelievable."

"What coincidence? What's more incredible?"

"I used to be white, so naturally I didn't think deeply about the White Lotus Sect.

After entering the temple all these years, and now that he has come to where he is today, after a little thought, he can feel something wrong with the White Lotus Sect's rebellion.

As you said, every time the White Lotus Sect makes troubles, it will affect the business of our Liu Family Firm.

But not only our Liu family, but also many businesses were looted, and a lot of killings were left in other businesses.

But if you think about it carefully, only our Liu family lost a little money and goods.

None of the shopkeeper, waiter, servant, and guard of the firm were attacked by the White Lotus Sect.

Once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, and three times can also be a coincidence.

But the White Lotus Sect has rebelled dozens of times, as far as I know, my Liu Family Firm has not hurt anyone.

On the contrary, it was someone else's business that was brutally slaughtered.

Let’s talk about the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in March of the 26th year of Xuande. At that time, I happened to go to Dangyang Academy to study.

After I met my father in Dangyang Academy, I received a letter from you asking me to go back home to discuss the marriage with Yun'er.

Our business firm was attacked by the White Lotus Sect bandits, it is impossible for me not to pay attention to this matter at all.

According to what I knew at the time, the Chai Family Silk Shop was not only ransacked, but also a whole family was wiped out by the White Lotus Rebels. Although the loss of the Shen Family Cloth Shop was slightly small, it was also far away from Jinling. place.

The Zhou family, the Gu family, the Feng family, the Ding family...the losses of the major commercial firms are numerous.

Although Shen and Chai are engaged in cloth business, they are not as good as Zheng's House.

Holding more gold, silver and jewels, the Zheng family's silk business, which was well-located and well-located, was safe and sound, while the Shen family and the Chai family's two businesses with slightly inferior industries and slightly remote locations were attacked by the White Lotus Sect.

There is something unreasonable in terms of emotion and reason.

The Zhou family and the Gu family are in the jewelry business, but the biggest jeweler in Jinling is our Liu family, followed by the Ge family firm.

The Ge family business was safe and sound, but the Zhou family and the Gu family were attacked.

Old man, you say this is a coincidence?Or is the purpose of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion originally intended?

The families I just mentioned who were attacked by the White Lotus Sect all have one thing in common.

The time to settle in the Jiangnan boundary did not exceed three years.

In this comparison, let's extend it a little bit.

You said that they were attacked by the bandits of the White Lotus Sect. Is it possible that they were punished for crossing the border? "

Liu Zhi'an watched Young Master Liu finish his sentence and stared at his shining eyes, a specious smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"In March of the 26th year of Xuande, the White Lotus Sect rebelled. It not only attacked the commercial firms in various states and counties in Jinling, but also attacked the government offices in various places. How do you explain it?

After all, this incident caused a lot of trouble at the time, and your father-in-law, Qi Runqi, the governor, was quite troublesome!

As for why they attacked the firm, the White Lotus Sect had originally carried out rebellion under the banner of the death of the dragon and the prosperity of the white lotus.

Raiding trading houses to accumulate gold, silver and jewels in preparation for recruiting troops makes perfect sense.

And you should understand the reason why persimmons only pick soft ones when they attack relatively small and remote businesses! "

Liu Mingzhi pressed his hands on the table and looked at the old man quietly.

"Then my Liu family is a soft persimmon?"

Liu Zhi'an frowned slightly, and shook his head noncommittally: "Go on! Go on!"

"Old man, you just said that the White Lotus Sect's bandits not only attacked the business houses to accumulate wealth, but also attacked the government.

But given the extent to which they attacked the government at that time and then retreated with one blow, no matter how you look at it, they have the meaning of deceiving people and confusing the public.

Its original intention is to cover up the White Lotus Sect's attack on major business firms, so as to achieve the true purpose of eliminating dissidents!
And Liu's House was also attacked, and its purpose was self-evident.

Nothing more than to confuse the public. "

Looking at Liu Zhi'an who was tapping lightly on the table with a slightly weird expression, Liu Mingzhi smacked his lips and sat down on the chair, picked up the tea and rinsed away the smell of cigarettes in his mouth.

"Furthermore, after I wiped out the White Lotus Sect back then, I learned that my third uncle is still alive. We must still remember the old man who met my third uncle in a certain courtyard in Jinling City!"

"nature!"

"It's good to have an impression. After Sanshu explained to you that day, he told you the truth why Sanshu is still alive.

He was rescued by the original White Lotus Sect, and escaped the misfortune of being beheaded for public display.

But why did the Bailian sect help the third uncle escape the bad luck of being beheaded for public display?

You say there is a lack of counselors.

But at that time, the White Lotus Sect wanted to recruit some tried and tested counselors to advise it, whether it was intimidation or temptation.

It is not difficult for them.

Why take the risk of being exterminated by the court to save a court convict who was beheaded by his father, Li Zheng, for public display?

Is it because the third uncle was a Jinshi and a well-educated scholar?

When the third elder brother Shu King Li Yunlong rebelled, Lu Gongwang, his aide, also failed many times, but this person's overall view and strategy should not be underestimated.

He is just not good at imperial examinations, but he is a great talent in other aspects.

There is no shortage of educated people among the people.

The difference is only in whether the Jinshi and the degree.

With the reputation of the third uncle at that time, it was really not worth the risk of the Lord Bailian's death in a confrontation with the imperial court.

Although Emperor Weihe was obsessed with alchemy at that time, he left his father a mess.

But it wasn't the White Lotus Sect at that time who dared to confront head-on.

Anyone with a little brain knows how to choose between the pros and cons.

But the White Lotus Sect rescued the third uncle unreasonably.

In this way, there is only one possibility! "

Liu Zhi'an spat out the tea foam from his mouth: "What is it possible?"

"The White Lotus Sect has a reason to save Third Uncle.

What reason is there for the White Lotus Sect to have to save the third uncle from his untimely death?
What do you think, old man? "

"Baji, Baji, Baji"

Liu Zhi'an smacked his lips, looking inexplicably at Young Master Liu's ears full of deep meaning.

"Any more?"
