Perhaps the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River did not know how serious the consequences would be if Li Qinzai was provoked in Chang'an City.
In their opinion, they wanted to kill members of the Shangguan family, which was allowed by the rules of the game.
The person who really broke the rules of the game was Shangguan Tingzhi, so he and his relatives and children had to pay the price. Killing anyone named Shangguan was completely justified.
It is even said that even the emperor acquiesced in the behavior of the Jiangnan noble families. In order to ease the conflict between the Tian family and the local families, some people had to be sacrificed.
So they would set up an ambush halfway and kill Shangguan Kun'er and Wan'er. It was a matter of course. What was wrong with them?
The only thing wrong is that they still underestimated the teacher-student relationship between Li Qinzai and Shangguan Kun'er, and also underestimated Li Qinzai's determination to protect his disciples.
Teachers and students are like father and son. Killing Shangguan Kun'er is like killing my son, but no man can bear it.
China has been a society of human relationships from ancient times to the present. From the emperors and ministers in the court to the landlords and the common people, the social framework formed by human relationships has been the basic status quo that has existed since ancient times and has not changed for thousands of years.
Therefore, when someone provoked Li Qinzai, even though Li Qinzai had not said hello to anyone, the human network behind him had automatically responded.
The imperial guards left the palace and went to various places in Chang'an City.
In the Xue family's mansion, Xue Ne slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Brother Jingchu was bullied, why didn't you tell me? Do you look down on me, Mr. !”
In the Gao family's residence of Duke Shen, Gao Qi opened his eyes in surprise and said in astonishment: "On the ground in Chang'an City, there are still people who dare to bully brother Jingchu? I summoned the central government to the palace. I want to see with my own eyes, who dares to seek death like this? !”
In the Wu family's mansion, Wu Minzhi's smile gradually became abnormal, and he was so excited that he could not help but drool from the corner of his mouth: "Wow, hahaha! I like Chang'an, I like this damn world! Haha! Come, summon the personal guards in the mansion. Qu, by the way, bring kerosene, hay, and dig some strong materials from the latrine for me, hahahaha!"
In the residence of Xu Jingzong, the right minister, Xu Yanbo stood in front of Xu Jingzong, looking excited and he hesitated to speak.
Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and closed his eyes, ignoring him.
The news has just been received. The person who sent the news belongs to Baiqisi and is under the order of the Fourth Prince, His Highness King Xi.
Xu Jingzong sat in the front hall of his home and pondered for a long time, but still did not express his position.
However, Xu Yanbo was already jumping up and down in the hall, wishing he could lead the imperial guards to rush out right now to participate in the grand event with the princes, princesses and friends.
However, Xu Jingzong didn't say anything, and Xu Yanbo didn't dare to act rashly.
Xu Jingzong is an old fox from two dynasties. Of course, he will not be as impulsive as young people. People of this age must consider the pros and cons and the interests behind doing things. It is impossible for them to be like young people who just shout and go out to fight like a fool.
After waiting for a long time, a servant of the Xu family hurriedly came back from outside the house and whispered a few words.
Xu Jingzong's eyes gradually brightened, he stroked his beard and murmured: "The emperor didn't say anything? The Jinwu Guards also withdrew? King Ying and the two princesses of Xiu have brought people out of the palace? Hiss——"
The emperor's attitude should not be too obvious!
The matter of land annexation has not yet been settled, but he turned around and dared to assassinate the sons and daughters of the Shangguan family. He also set up an ambush outside the city to attack the honor guard of the Liaodong magistrate's car.
The prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River have indeed gotten a little carried away recently. From the emperor's point of view, they must be beaten. Therefore, Li Qinzai's actions today seem to be reckless seeking revenge and causing trouble, but in fact they coincide with the emperor's thoughts.
He was helping Duke Li, but he was trying to flatter the emperor. He offended several prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. When weighed, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
There's something going on!
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. No matter who wants to teach a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, I, the Xu family, must help!
Even if the matter is serious, in a word afterward, the adults will not know about the little things done by the juniors.
He opened his eyes and looked at his grandson Xu Yanbo beside him. Xu Yanbo was already scratching his head and head, like a hozen that had just licked the pepper from the Western Regions. He was extremely anxious.
Xu Jingzong shook his head. He could not help but compare his grandson with Li Qinzai. The more he compared, the more disappointed he became. The difference was not even the slightest bit worse.
Look at this child, he is meticulous and thoughtful even when he gets into trouble, he is bloody, responsible and has backup plans. At such a young age, he dares to go head-to-head with the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. This courage and determination, and then look at this scratching hozen of his own. ...Tsk!
Sighing heavily, Xu Jingzong said calmly without raising his eyebrows: "Uncle Yan, take the imperial guards with you and go."
Xu Yanbo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he made a hasty salute, turned around and ran away.
…………
Xue Na, Gao Qi, Wu Minzhi, Xu Yanbo, and Qi Bizhen, almost all the powerful children of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty took action after hearing the news.
At this moment, the powerful children of Chang'an City have spontaneously formed a community with Li Qinzai as the center, sharing weal and woe and sharing weal and woe.
In the calm Chang'an City, many teams suddenly appeared.
These teams have different colors and numbers. Some only have about a hundred people, and some have three or four hundred people. These people come out from different dignitaries' mansions. The leaders are all young men dressed in rich clothes. Holding sticks and weapons in hand, he rushed to different houses with murderous intent.
The common people and merchants on the street changed their colors and hurriedly got out of the way. After the teams passed by, the common people looked shocked and secretly talked to each other excitedly. Which family's son-in-law caused trouble this time? Look at this. From the looks of it, today it is clear that he will stop at the end of the day.
The grievances of the high-level dignitaries have nothing to do with the people at the bottom, but the people are excited. Countless people in the market are talking about it, and they are all guessing who from whose family provoked whom today, and who will take revenge on whom. All kinds of rumors and rumors are noisy. And up.
At this moment, some authoritative voices appeared in Chang'an City.
The people who make these sounds are in wine shops, inns, and in Fireworks and Willow Alley.
Starting from the memorial of Shangguan Tingzhi, and then to the exile of Shangguan and his son, the Jiangnan noble family wanted to kill his whole family to vent their anger and silence, and finally assassinated Shangguan Tingzhi's children, raided the ceremonial car of the Liaodong governor, and so on.
The process is described in detail, as if the speaker has experienced it personally.
As a result, various rumors in Chang'an City gradually disappeared, and in the end this version of the story became the only truth.
In just a few hours, the reputation of the Jiangnan noble family in Chang'an City was completely ruined.
Enclosing land, invading fields, killing people and silencing them. You people from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River are so domineering here. You deserve to be beaten to death by the Liaodong County Lord!
…………
When the city of Chang'an was in chaos, Li Qinzai had led more than two hundred troops to the Gu family's residence in Yongningfang.
More than two hundred troops wearing armor and holding halberds stood in darkness outside the mansion door. Li Qinzai looked up at the big word "Gu" on the lintel of the mansion door. His eyes were calm and his expression was neither happy nor angry.
If when Ling Buqu went out for revenge, he was still full of anger and wanted to vent, then when he walked from the Duke's residence to the Gu family's residence, his mood had completely calmed down.
The pros and cons are also the questions he is thinking about at the moment.
Li Qinzai was silently thinking about whether to beat or not, whether to smash or not, how much to smash, and how the emperor, ministers and Jiangnan nobles would react afterwards.
After a long time, I made up my mind.
A slight smile appeared on Li Qinzai's lips.
Now that you have reached the rank of Duke, why are you acting more timidly than before?
With such a high position, why should we fear power?
I, Li Qinzai, am powerful!
Thinking about this, Li Qinzai suddenly said calmly: "Feng Su."
Feng Su stepped out: "Here!"
"Break down the door and destroy the home. Everyone in the Gu family's house, no matter how high or low they are, whether they are old or young, will be destroyed."
"yes!"
Feng Su turned around with murderous intent, raised his right arm high, and yelled: "Listen to the order! Break down the door, destroy the home, and destroy the Gu family!"
