Chongming County is under the jurisdiction of Taicangzhou, Zhili, and Taicangzhou is under the jurisdiction of Susong Taidao.

The capital of Susong Taidao is located in Shanghai County. Li Weiguo happened to want to return to Shanghai to see how his AIIB's construction is progressing. He also visited Liu Jianzhang, Susong Taidao, and sought help from dealing with Xiao Yang and Lu Jianying.

Li Weiguo did not go directly to Susong Taidao Office, but directly brought gifts to Liu Jianzhang's house to visit.

Since Li Weiguo had long planned to establish hegemony based on Shanghai, he also entrusted the British Embassy to secretly help, striving to transfer himself to Shanghai County as the county magistrate, while Su Song Taidao was the immediate superior and the capital was in Shanghai County, so he had to establish good relations with Liu Jianzhang, otherwise Li Weiguo would be restrained everywhere in Shanghai in the future.

At the same time, as a member of Yixin's sect, Liu Jianzhang was a member of the same party with Fu Shanxiang's father-in-law Fu Yang, Li Weiguo's father-in-law, and he spoke more closely. In addition, both of them both wanted each other's enemies Lu Jianying and Xiao Yang, so Li Weiguo had to deal with Liu Jianzhang well, which was very important for Li Weiguo's future revenge.

Li Weiguo brought great gifts. Liu Jianzhang was also shocked after reading the greetings. When he learned that he was Fu Yang's son-in-law, he immediately thanked the door to avoid the guests and met Li Weiguo alone in the backyard.

Liu Jianzhang was in his fifties, but he looked like he was in his seventies and eighties. You can imagine how huge the physical and mental blow to him by his decline in his career was.

While Li Weiguo was looking at Liu Jianzhang, Liu Jianzhang was also examining the young man in front of him. He was surprised. It was not uncommon for a young man under thirteen years old to donate a county magistrate. It was a Han man who could get the county magistrate. This was the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. What surprised Liu Jianzhang even more was that Li Weiguo could actually make the local snake Xiao Yang of Chongming County defeated him one after another. You must know that Xiao Yang is known as the killer of the county magistrate. How many county magistrates fell into his hands, but now he has caused Li Weiguo to squirt several liters of old blood to be cleaned up. This behavior is surprising.

"You said you are Fu Yang's son-in-law and Fu Shanxiang's husband, do you have any certificate?"

"I wonder if this ring counts?"

Li Weiguo smiled slightly and thought to himself that Liu Jianzhang was careful, so he raised his left hand and pointed it at the ring finger to the other party. It was brought by Fu Shanxiang with him personally before leaving Li Weiguo. It was a treasure of the Fu family.

Seeing this ring, Liu Jianzhang no longer doubted it. He worked with Fu Yang for many years and naturally knew the origin of this ring.

He nodded and sighed: "How powerful is the Sixth Master's Party back then? Unfortunately, the First Emperor finally chose the Fourth Prince. Now that the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, the Sixth Master's Party is exiled to death. I am lucky, but I have been demoted again and again, and now I have become a mere Su Song Taidao. Fortunately, Mr. Fu Yang sent his two children out of the capital in advance to avoid being slaughtered by the Fourth Prince's Party, otherwise the Fu family would have no successors."

Li Weiguo said in surprise: "Mr. Liu means? Could it be that my father-in-law and he——"

Liu Jianzhang nodded and said sadly: "Mr. Fu Yang is a core member of the Sixth Master Party. How can the Imperial Party let him go when he is in power? I heard that he was killed halfway through the exile of Ningguta."

The party struggles fiercely, the power struggles are cruel, and the winners are kings and princes and losers are thieves. This is the eternal axiom of human society.

In front of Liu Jianzhang, Li Weiguo had to squeeze out two lines of tears to mourn his father-in-law who had never met before.

When Liu Jianzhang saw Li Weiguo crying, he was also infected, so he asked Li Weiguo to call his uncle. The two of them immediately became close.

When learning that the Li family was persecuted by Lu Jianying and his son-in-law Wu Liang, Fu Shanxiang's whereabouts are still unknown, Liu Jianzhang was indignant and vowed to avenge the Li family.

"Don't worry, my uncle is now in a low position and can't take Lu Jianying's old man for the time being, but there is still a way to deal with his subordinates. Haven't you found out the shortage of accounts in Chongming County? Then let's take Xiao Yang first, cut off Lu Jianying's old man's minions first, and then look for an opportunity to deal with him."

This is exactly the result that Li Weiguo wants. Thank you for your help.

"It's just a matter of raising hands!" Liu Jianzhang smiled and said, "You are the magistrate of Chongming County at the age of twentieth. Not only did you suppress such a powerful local snake as Xiao Yang, but you also came up with a plan to solve the serious disaster in Chongming County. I will report to the court to commend the court for your nephew. Although our Sixth Master Party is now in a weak position, there are talents like a nephew, and you will have no worries about not being able to fight against the Imperial Party."

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly in his heart. He was not sure whether it was good or bad by Liu Jianzhang. After all, the so-called Sixth Master Prince Gong Yixin is at the lowest point in his life and is suppressed by Xianfeng everywhere. As a member of the Sixth Master Party, he either demoted or exiled, and his life is not easy to survive. But after thinking about the second Raven War broke out in a few years, Xianfeng was angry to death. When Cixi launched a palace coup, the Sixth Master Yixin transformed into the regent and turned over. At that time, as a member of the Sixth Master Party, there would inevitably be many benefits.

It's still very reliable in the long run!

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo suddenly felt energetic and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi is too awarded! But my nephew has always wanted to be transferred to Shanghai County as the county magistrate. I wonder if Uncle Shi can help."

"Transferred to Shanghai?"

Liu Jianzhang looked at Li Weiguo with a surprised look. Seeing that the other party had a very firm expression, he thought that the other party had another identity as the special counsel of the British Embassy. If he was appointed as the magistrate of Shanghai, it would be a good idea to deal with foreigners and use the power of foreigners. So he nodded and said, "This is easy. I have always been unable to stand the current magistrate of Shanghai. If the magistrate of the nephew comes, we will be stronger when we join forces. Even if the magistrate of the nephew comes, we will be able to unite our strength. Even if the magistrate of the nephew is back, we will wait until I find an opportunity to impeach the magistrate of Shanghai, and then find a way to get the magistrate of the nephew to be transferred."

"Thank you, Uncle Shi!" Li Weiguo was overjoyed. He had already entrusted the British Embassy to help secretly. Now, with Liu Jianzhang's help, as long as the operation is done properly, the success rate of transfer to Shanghai County Magistrate will be even greater.

Next, Liu Jianzhang held a banquet to entertain Li Weiguo. The two had a great chat and agreed to take care of each other and advance and retreat together.

The next day, Li Weiguo and Liu Jianzhang discussed in detail again how to deal with Xiao Yang and Lu Jianying, Li Weiguo said goodbye and left.

Li Weiguo did not rush to return to Chongming County, but held a board meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and listened to various construction reports. Overall, everything was going smoothly. He just waited for the headquarters building to be completed and it could be officially opened.

As for the printing press equipment, Li Weiguo went to the British Concession and met with John. He learned that Bao Ling had persuaded the West-Indian Bank in Hong Kong. The other party agreed to provide the printing press equipment and related raw materials. It has been loaded and shipped and will return to Shanghai with Sir Bao Ling.

John suddenly asked, "By the way, Weiguo, you asked Chavez to bring the call back last time. You wanted to be transferred to Shanghai County Magistrate, but why don't I understand how our British Empire can provide you with such help? You must know that your government will never allow us to interfere with the dispatch and appointment of your country's officials."

Li Weiguo smiled and explained: "You don't need to interfere with the appointment of officials from the Qing government. You just need to constantly create disputes in the Shanghai County Government. If the Shanghai County Magistrate does not understand the Western Affairs Office, it will definitely not be handled well. You take the opportunity to constantly complain to the Qing government, and tactfully put forward the hope of changing an official who is proficient in European and American affairs, and hinted that the only person in the Qing Dynasty can be competent at the moment is me, Li Weiguo."

John understood, but he still had some questions: "But, what if the Shanghai County Magistrate can handle the incident involving foreign affairs well, the Qing government will refuse to replace people or if it is someone else?"

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes and reminded: "Even if the Shanghai County Magistrate can handle the incident involving foreign affairs well, you should not buy his account. He deliberately said that he did not handle it well, which would easily create friction, which was not conducive to Sino-British friendship. What our Qing government feared the most was the issue involving foreign affairs. As long as you keep complaining and dissatisfied, the Qing government will soon be impatient and will think of your kind reminder, let me be appointed as the Shanghai County Magistrate. Just remember that as long as the Shanghai County Magistrate is not me, then you will make trouble until I come to take office. Do you understand what I say?"

"Ah, I finally understand! But Weiguo, you are so treacherous! You are the most cunning person I have ever seen!" John kept sighing and complaining, not knowing whether he was envious of Li Weiguo's intelligence or lamenting his careless friendship.

Li Weiguo laughed loudly, not caring about John's words, and he thought it was all about praising him.
