It was expected that Li Qinzai would fall out with a prominent family in Jiangnan.
Originally, he didn't have any good intentions when he came to the door. At most, he used a polite tone and said something to accuse him.
Can Li Qinzai pamper him?
At that time, the prime minister had to weigh his words carefully in front of Li Qinzai. How could a prominent Jiangnan family dare to be so domineering in Chang'an City?
Unfortunately, even if Gu En fell out with him, he maintained politeness from beginning to end. He did not jump and yell, but declared war in a very calm tone.
It would be better if he lost his mind in anger and flipped the table impulsively.
Li Qinzai could confidently beat him up in the Duke's palace, and finally strip him naked and throw him on the street, so that the people of Chang'an could appreciate how the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River dried their birds.
It's a pity that Gu En was not fooled.
This made Li Qinzai alert.
A dog that bites does not bark, but an enemy that can control its emotions is often more terrifying.
It is certain that the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River will launch retaliatory actions against the Li family and the Shangguan family. Li Qinzai does not know what specific actions they will take.
Gu En just said goodbye and left. Before Li Qinzai had time to change into clean clothes, his father Li Siwen rushed into the side hall.
"A member of the Gu family in Jiangnan?" Li Siwen asked solemnly.
"yes."
"Why did he come to our house?"
Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "My son decided to protect Shangguan and his son. He came to warn my son not to get involved in this matter."
Li Siwen frowned: "I told you not to get involved in this matter, but you still provoked them?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "The noble families in the south of the Yangtze River were encircling the land and invading the fields. The children didn't say anything and pretended not to see it. But the noble families in the south of the Yangtze River stretched their hands too far and acted too domineeringly. Whoever they want to die must die."
"My child is given the title of Duke, and he is considered an important minister of the court, but they actually dare to come and warn me, with their hands pointing right in front of my nose. If my child still tolerates and compromises, oh, wouldn't it be ridiculous and pathetic for him to be an important minister?"
"There are several local prominent families whose power is above the king's law. Let them have the final say on the affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Can I just kneel down to them when I see you?"
Li Siwen was speechless.
Li Ji created such a huge family business, and Li Qinzai, his grandson, was also successful and did not embarrass the British government.
Only in Li Siwen's generation, most of his brothers are mediocre. They are just average in terms of ability and courage. Therefore, Li Siwen has consciously listened to Li Qinzai's opinions on many matters in the Duke's Mansion.
No matter how fierce I am, my son is more promising than him, what can he do?
As soon as Li Qinzai finished the call, Li Siwen remained silent for a while, but his face showed a look of shame and annoyance.
The theory is correct, and the facts are correct. People have gone too far to bully others. Is the government of the country still willing to tolerate and compromise?
However, putting aside the facts and principles, isn’t there nothing wrong with the dog son?
After racking his brains for excuses, Li Siwen finally trembled, his beard and hair bulging, and his eyes widened.
"You bastard! What's your attitude? How dare you yell at me!" Li Siwen shouted angrily.
Li Qinzai was shocked: "Ah? Did I... yell?"
"Roar!" Li Siwen gritted his teeth, looked around, picked up a ruler in the room and raised it high: "The evil beast shall die!"
Li Qinzai sighed helplessly: "Dad, my child understands that you want to find a step to get off, but the steps you made are too rigid. Even if there is another excuse, for example, my child entered your study yesterday and accidentally took your beloved imperial gift. The bottle was broken..."
Li Siwen took a breath of cold air and looked very ugly: "Did you break that imperial tribute bottle?"
Li Qinzai was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake, and immediately said without changing his expression: "You heard wrong, it was Hongbi who broke it."
However, the trust between father and son was gone. Li Siwen showed a murderous look on his face and gritted his teeth and said: "Li Qinzai, you are really going to be wiped out by me today. Even the gods can't save you!"
"Dad, calm down! It was really Hongbi who did it. If you don't believe me, ask him." Li Qinzai stepped back.
"My poor dear grandson, he was framed by his father even though he couldn't speak clearly. Do you think I can be fooled so easily?"
The Zhen Chi fell towards him, but Li Qinzai nimbly dodged it, turned around and ran away.
In such a violent family environment, he is still a sunny and cheerful boy. Li Qinzai can't help but admire himself.
…………
Having offended a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Qinzai was waiting for their revenge.
He also wanted to know what the Jiangnan noble families could do in Chang'an City, the capital of the Emperor's Kingdom.
Shang Shu Shen impeachment frame? Or send an assassin to kill him? Ask a Taoist priest to open an altar to curse him?
Two days later, news came from the Li family who was escorting Shangguan and his son. On the way, they were ordered to escort Shangguan and his son, but they encountered two assassination plots.
One time, while resting on the roadside at an open-air wine shop, someone poisoned his food. Fortunately, the deputy team leader was thinking carefully and noticed that the waiter in the wine shop looked wrong, and Shangguan and his son escaped.
Another time, when passing by a valley, a huge boulder suddenly fell from the sky and almost killed Shangguan and his son. Fortunately, the Li family gave a warning in advance, and the boulder missed by just a small amount and landed right in front of Shangguan and his son.
I have to say that this father and son are really blessed by the halo of the protagonists along the way, and their fate is really great.
After reading the news from Bu Qu, Li Qinzai frowned and murmured: "How much hatred and resentment, I really won't stop until death..."
Li Qinzai once again experienced the tyranny of aristocratic families.
At the same time, I also understand better why Li Zhi must weaken the power of the family in his lifetime. These lawless guys really need to be punished, otherwise they will turn upside down.
In the next few days, Chang'an City returned to calm.
The revenge that Li Qinzai had been waiting for did not come. It seemed that the other party just said a few harsh words and then stopped.
But Li Qinzai didn't dare to be careless. He knew that if the noble family said something, they would definitely do something. They were not gangsters on the street. What they said was not to embolden the scene. They would do what they said.
Early spring has passed, and it’s Tomb Sweeping Day.
It has been drizzling continuously for several days in Chang'an City. The rain is as fine and sticky as a lover's silk.
Early in the morning, Shangguan Kun'er and Wan'er were sleepy and were carried into the carriage by the maid.
Qingming is a day to worship ancestors and ancestors. No matter how bad the situation is, the two Shangguan brothers and sisters cannot miss the family sacrifice. Everyone in the world must go to the ancestral hall and kneel obediently.
The elders, women and children of the Shangguan family passed the message, and Li Qinzai could not stop them, so he had to ask his tribe to escort the brother and sister back to the Shangguan family for sacrifice.
Worried that the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River were waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble, Li Qinzai specially dispatched a hundred troops to protect both sides of the carriage.
After the carriage went out, Li Qinzai still felt uneasy, always feeling that something would happen.
At noon, one of the soldiers returned to the Duke's Mansion covered in blood, and Li Qinzai's heart suddenly sank.
"Fifth Young Master, what's wrong! The Young Master and the young lady of the Shangguan family were assassinated on the way to the ancestral hall!"
