Chapter 3453 Extra Story 33

Zhou Man turned to face him, and said after a long time: "It's not easy, but if she wants, maybe she can give it a try."

Bai Shandao: "Everyone knows that power is a good thing, especially those who were once powerless to protect the people they care about. They can understand this more deeply."

"Li Si may not be capable enough, but she has a heart and takes the overall situation into consideration. As long as she is ambitious, she can replace Li Yi with a helping hand." It can be regarded as wisdom, but in the past two years, there is no one in front of him, and his behavior has become more and more excessive. A person like him, who doesn't even care about the life and death of the people under his rule, how can he care about Jun's kindness in the future?"

And if he doesn't care about Nian Jun'en, will he turn against him at every opportunity?

Do you really think that since he cares about the people in southern Xinjiang and doesn't want to cause chaos in the Liaozi tribe, he can be controlled?

Bai Shan sneered in his heart, he really didn't want to cause chaos in the Liaozi Department, and he wouldn't let it mess up, but he didn't say he wouldn't change the chief.

Li Si is the most suitable candidate, even more suitable than Li Yi's only son Li Dan.

According to his investigation during this period, most of the tribes that want to push Li Yi away are those who were close to the Zhang family, because Li Yi suppressed them after he became the chief, and the tribute and taxes allocated to them have increased. Only then did the contradictions intensify and conflicts occurred frequently.

Li Yi must not know that he asked the chief executive to be frank with Bai Shan, to sue those tribes openly and secretly, and wanted the court to help him deal with these tribes, but he did not expect Bai Shan to find a way to persuade them.

Isn't it just to get close to the Zhang family?

Then just change to someone from the Zhang family.

At the same time, it can't make the tribe who are close to the Li family feel dissatisfied. Is there a better candidate than Li Si?

Bai Shandao: "Li Si is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and her daughter is the blood of the Li and Zhang families. When this matter is over, we will send her to the capital to study in the Ming School first, and then send her to the school when she grows up." In the Imperial College, after she has finished her studies, the imperial court will issue a decree for her to inherit the chief of the Liaozi Department, which is justified and the three parties are happy."

Zhou Man: "Can the tribe of the Liaozi Department agree?"

Bai Shan smiled slightly, "They will agree."

He took her hand and said in a low voice: "You should bring a few more guards when you go in and out these two days, and don't go to remote places. Calculate the time, the chiefs of each tribe will arrive in these two days, and then we can Sit down and discuss it."

Not only the chiefs of the various tribes arrived, but the garrisons from Liuzhou and Yizhou also slowly approached the Liaozi tribe, stopped at the border, and stationed troops outside the two cities.

The chiefs of all major, medium and small tribes had just arrived in Annan City, and before they had time to report to the chief's mansion, they heard the urgent report from the border.

Everyone became anxious, and a dozen people gathered together and shouted loudly, "What does the imperial court mean? They want to trap our Liaozi Department here?"

"Isn't it? Didn't you report that people from the medical department in Liuzhou and Yizhou have brought medicinal materials in, and they will arrive in Annan City in a few days?"

"Then what are Chen Bing doing at the border?"

"Don't let our patients out?"

"Could it be that something happened to the chief's mansion?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was startled and said anxiously: "Could it be that the imperial court wants to send troops to the Liaozi Department?"

"Isn't that going to appoint officials to us?"

Jimi Prefecture is different from ordinary state capitals. The state capital controlled by Dajin is an official appointed by the imperial court, who pays taxes to the imperial court and is controlled by the imperial court;

But Jimi Prefecture is autonomous.

Although tributes had to be paid to the imperial court every year, the Jin court was rich and the royal family was fairly tolerant. The annual tribute requirements were not large, and most of the taxes paid by ordinary people were reserved for the tribe’s own use.

These tribes don't even listen to the words of the big leaders. They live their lives behind closed doors and attach themselves to the court. They just want to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Dare to beat them, if they are ruled by the court...

It's scary just thinking about it.

The crowd became agitated, and someone in the crowd secretly encouraged: "Chief Li also contracted malaria, and I don't know if he can survive. The current situation is so urgent, we can't let the bureaucracy be precarious and have nothing to rely on."

"Chief Li is sick, where is the young chief?"

"I heard that when I went out to find medicinal materials, I met bandits and died."

People who were delayed by the news were shocked, "When did this happen?"

"The news only spread in the past two days."

"Could it be because of this that the imperial court has introduced troops to the border? Chief Li has no heirs..."

When they were discussing, Bai Shan was standing on top of the inn where they were staying and looked down.

He reached out to close the door, turned to look at the pale Li Si, "See?"

Li Si was terrified, and recalled the chaos three years ago in his mind.

Her father led soldiers and horses into the chief's mansion and started killing. Her husband stood in front of her and her child, but he still couldn't stop her. Not only her husband, but also her one-year-old child was snatched away... …

If her daughter Xiaoman hadn't hugged her leg and cried bitterly, she would have followed her...

The shadow of conspiracy has always been hidden in her heart. In the past three years, not only has she not been able to see Zhanluan, but even a louder voice may scare her.

Li Si's hands and feet were weak, and it took him a long time to support himself on the table to regain his composure, looked up at Bai Shan, and asked with a pale face, "Are you going to subdue the Liaozi Department on behalf of the imperial court?"

Bai Shan asked meaningfully, "Is the Liaozi Department dissatisfied with the court now?"

Li Si was agitated, and immediately said: "No, the Liaozi tribe surrendered to the imperial court and never dared to rebel."

Bai Shan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since that's the case, I didn't say anything about it."

"The purpose of the imperial court's deployment of troops at the border is to prevent chaos among the bureaucrats," he said, "I think you should know that there are people who disobey your father's rule. It's been a round of fighting."

Li Si didn't speak.

Bai Shan walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, "Your brother is dead."

He picked up the teacup and handed it to her, and said meaningfully: "You are the only heir of your father now, no matter whether it is from the Li family or the Zhang family, you are the most suitable heir."

Li Si looked at the tea in front of her eyes, and after a long silence, she raised her hand to hold it. Her hand holding the teacup was still trembling, but her voice became firm, "My daughter..."

"When the medical teams from Yizhou and Liuzhou arrive, I will ask them to send her away. She will go to school in the Ming School founded by the princess, and when she turns fourteen, she will go to the Imperial Academy." Bai Shan said: " No matter what happens or not, she can live a good life in Chang'an."

"If it works, she will be the next great chief. If it doesn't work, with my wife and I protecting her, she can die in Chang'an safely."

Li Si drank the tea in his hand, "But according to Master Bai's order."
