Chapter 5403 is about to
Sixiang 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 are running into 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 really started to feel fear, her hands and feet were 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 promised 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 be more than just a member of the Li family. Elders may also become officials of the Sixiang City court. The Li family is just a business family. How can they be seen as powerful court officials? "
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 reluctantly said a few words.
"Don't think I'm lying. I, Li Qingyuan, do what I say. Do you think I will find the yard where you hide your beauty without the support behind me? The power behind me is the imperial court! The emperor has already given it to me Imperial decree, if I become the head of the family, the Li family will be the royal merchant from now on, and no one can touch us..."
Li Qing Yuan Tongyu 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 plus 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 on the bed with her palms, 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. of.
"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.
Originally I didn’t believe it, but now I do. 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. As long as he can get the promise now, Enough.
"In this case, I promise to cooperate with you and support you in becoming the head of the Li family." Li Chengya really expressed his stance this time. He was not pretending on purpose, nor was he 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 Presbyterian meeting to start in three days.
......
In the Li family compound, there is an extremely mysterious forbidden place. This is the Elder Hall. It is the highest center of power of the Li family. The elders gather together. Once something important happens, If something happens, the elders will gather here and convene an elders meeting to discuss 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.
Once the head of the family, Li Chengji, wanted to shake up the elder system, but in the end he could only change a few elders, but was unable to fundamentally change the system.
At this time, there was a circle of people sitting in the elder 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. The head of the house can easily win over half by recruiting two or three elders. Therefore, under normal circumstances, whatever the head of the house says can be passed.
As for changing the head of the family, one rule is that all six elders 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?"
Shen's face was 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 masters 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 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.”
Xiagu 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." Shen said.
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. In the past, she only heard that Yuanlong asked for a high price and could not meet the requirements, but as long as the price was paid, Then there is no giving 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. ." Xia Gu said.
Yuanlong is not a fool. He has a lot of information about the capital. With just a casual check, he has already found out Zi Yan's identity.
