Chapter 1191
Li Fu was going to invite Hu Dahai and Xu Cunren to dinner in the evening, but there was no time to make preparations in the kitchen, so the butler Xiaoqian replaced the steward who was serving in the courtyard and asked where there was a good restaurant nearby, and ordered him to lead the way to order a banquet himself. Order the shopkeeper not to forget to deliver it when the time comes.

As far as the three yamen are concerned, the Judicial Judiciary is the most leisurely, because small cases cannot reach him, and he does not need to solve them. There are a lot of rich and powerful families in the county, how could those rich and powerful families go to the imperial court to file a lawsuit and let the imperial court judge?They figured it out in private!
Therefore, Xu Cunren can only sleep in the back house every day at leisure, and the grass is almost growing at the entrance of the lobby!

Xu Cunren and Hu Dahai arrived at the chief envoy's office on time. Although the three had never met before, let alone had any friendship, but because they got together in this special place and at a special moment, they all gave birth to each other with emotion. A bit of sympathy and sympathy for each other.

After a while of greetings, Li Fu smiled and said, "The two adults have worked hard here these years!"

"So ashamed!"

"Don't dare!"

The two smiled wryly and sighed, and they could see the disappointment in their hearts.

In this territory, it's not that they don't want to take care of it, but that there are too many constraints from all parties, and they can't easily move it.

Li Fu straightened his face, and said: "It's hard work for the two brothers to protect themselves! There are no outsiders here, so we don't need to be courteous!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Cunren and Hu Dahai's expressions changed and they exchanged glances.

Once the words were spoken, there were no scruples.Li Fu still trusted these two people. If Xu Cunren really colluded with the local gentry, the yamen would not be deserted like that, and Hu Dahai's subordinates are all locals , There are innumerable ties with the big gentry, that is his own, and there is no need to win him over.

The four major families have instinctive resentment and rejection of imperial officials, and they will not win them over. They also look down on the barbarism of the Southern Man, and even disdain to be with them.

It's a pity that these two seem to be disheartened. They live their own lives on weekdays and are not very interested in external affairs. They don't know as much about the four major families as Li Fu!It is unrealistic for Li Fu to inquire about something useful from them.

Li Fu couldn't help but secretly disappointed, thinking that it's no wonder!The four big families combined with the local local tyrants are becoming more and more arrogant, and they are increasingly ignoring the court and the emperor!

The officials of the imperial court gave them such an impression, how could they have a sense of respect in their hearts?
After drinking for three rounds, Xu Cunren found an excuse to get up and leave first. He could see that Li Fu seemed to have something to say to Hu Dahai alone.

"Young Lord Hou is young and promising. He has made great military exploits in the Northwest and Liaodong. Although I have heard of the reputation of Lord Hou in the southern corner, it is really admirable to be like this! With Lord Hou in Nanhai County, there may be a generation Fantastic atmosphere!" Hu Dahai raised his glass with a smile, and said with a heartfelt smile, "I wish Lord Hou a victory!"

"Thank you, Brother Hu!" Li Fu smiled, raised his neck to drink the wine in his glass, and looked at this nearly 40-year-old veteran with a purple face. The long-term comfortable and depressed life made him look muscular. A little slack, and his complexion is not very good. He is said to be a general, but he can no longer see the decisive and majestic aura that belongs to a general.

But occasionally, the light flashed across his eyes inadvertently, but it showed the general's unwillingness.

He has been depressed for so many years, it's time to wake up!

"I don't know what plans Brother Hu has in the future?" Li Fu asked with a smile.

"What plan?" Hu Dahai chuckled, and said, "I'm ashamed to say, brother has been in the South China Sea for more than ten years, from being a lieutenant to a general to commanding an envoy, it's just filling in the vacancies. What are your plans? After handing over to Lord Hou, return to Beijing to listen to the emperor's arrangement!"

He couldn't help but said again: "Here, the soldiers of the capital's yamen and all the guards are recruited on the spot. The Han people account for no more than [-]%, and the remote barbarians and Tu tribes account for about [-]%. The rest are recruited by the counties and counties. , is inextricably linked with the local tycoons, and many middle and high-level generals in the army are directly served by relatives of major families. In the future, Lord Hou must be careful, and don't act too aggressively, otherwise, once a mutiny happens, it will be difficult to control!"

Li Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there no cronies that Big Brother Hu can use?"

"Two out of ten," Hu Dahai smiled wryly, "What can it do!"

Hearing this, Li Fu slapped the table and laughed, proudly said: "That's enough! With the people I brought, I can already do a lot of things!"

Li Fu said with a sneer: "To put it bluntly, those people are attached to the four major families. If the four major families no longer exist, they are nothing but trees without roots and springs without sources!"

Hu Dahai's heart shuddered, and he changed his face in surprise and said, "Master Hou, you want to touch the four major families!"

Although the emperor suddenly sent Li Fu, a figure in the army, to take up the post of chief political envoy, and at the same time serve as the commander of the capital, Hu Dahai had already guessed in his heart, but at this moment when Li Fu said this himself, he was still shocked. My heart beat wildly.

After a while, he smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty is so bold, I admire you brothers! However, although there are minor internal strife and disagreements among the four major families, they all prosper and the other suffers, and they are absolutely consistent externally! The relationship between the four major families is also intricate, it can be said that they are all one! This Nanhai County has been controlled by them for hundreds of years, and their roots are even more entrenched. If Hou Ye wants to deal with them, he must be careful not to kill the snake but to suffer from it! Brothers and Lord Hou hit it off right away, but I have to say these words to Lord Hou!"

Li Fu smiled and said: "Brother Hu has good intentions, don't I know? Don't worry, Brother Hu, I won't do anything if I'm not sure! I just want to ask Brother Hu—"

Suddenly, Li Fu's expression became serious, his eyes narrowed, and he looked directly at Hu Dahai with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Brother Hu is willing to just leave like this? After all these years of their uselessness, he is willing to return to Beijing in despair? If it were me, it would be impossible! If Brother Hu is willing to stay and help me, we may not be able to defeat them together! Brother Hu, don’t forget, my elite soldiers,

Li Fu said with a smile.

Hu Dahai's heart was shocked, his mind went "buzz", and it went blank in an instant.

He sat there blankly, as if he had lost his soul, body, and everything. Even the inherent consciousness was fading little by little.

He asked himself in a daze, are you willing?Of course it is not reconciled!

Returning to Beijing in such a dispirited manner?Can he really have no regrets in the years to come?
