Li Ke was very angry. He had been mentally prepared before coming. The officialdom in Longxi might be very corrupt, but he didn't expect it to be so corrupt.
Is this still the territory of Datang?
Are these people really officials of the Tang Dynasty?
The wealthy gentry in a place dared to speak ill of the prince. As the magistrate of a county, he not only did not stop them, but also supported their arrogance, colluded with them, and became a group of raccoons.
No wonder my father was in such a hurry that he wanted to operate on Li from Longxi.
In this situation, even if you stab yourself a few times, you have to do it ruthlessly.
"Your Highness, King of Shu, this is a misunderstanding today..."
"Your Highness, spare your life, we are guilty!"
Pfft...
Yan Yun cut off the head of a guy who said he would spare his life with a single stroke of his sword, and his head rolled directly to Lu Bing's feet.
"Ah..." Lu Bing was so frightened that he lost his voice, sat down on the ground, and kept running back.
The rest of the people were so frightened that they lost control of their bowels and bowels, and actually cut their heads in front of everyone.
"They're all going to jail. Not a single snowflake in the avalanche is innocent."
After Li Ke finished speaking, he walked outside.
Then he added: "It is said that Lieutenant Zhe Chong has entered the city and the military has taken control of the entire county. The city gates have been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"yes!"
After the troops of Zhechong Prefecture entered Jicheng County, they quickly took over all important departments.
Then the army surrounded the Li family's mansion in Jicheng County and took control of all Li family's private soldiers. They killed those who deserved to be killed and arrested those who deserved to be arrested.
The Li family in Jicheng County is actually the hometown of Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County.
However, Li Xiaogong rarely came to Jicheng since he followed Li Yuan. After Li Shimin came to power, the Li family in Longxi became self-righteous. Li Xiaogong was a smart man and immediately stopped contacting the Li family in Jicheng. M.biQuge.biZ
Now the head of the Jicheng Li family is Li Xiaoquan, Li Xiaogong's cousin.
When he found out, Li Ke had already led troops to surround Li's Mansion. When he learned that the Living King of Hell was coming, he also led troops to surround Li's Mansion. None of the private soldiers who defended Li's Mansion were left behind, and all were destroyed. Even the dead soldiers hiding in the dark were not left alive.
Li Xiaoquan almost didn't even come up and was sent away.
"Master, master, wake up!"
Li Xiaoquan's wife pinched the person and pinched Li Xiaoquan awake. Li Ke was already standing in front of her.
"Junior Li Ke, I have met Uncle Li."
Li Xiaoquan quickly got up and bowed tremblingly: "The common people have seen the prince..."
"Well, today I will call you the head of the Li family. It will be more convenient for you to do things. I will call you Uncle Li. I can't do anything. After all, Prince Hejian is your cousin and my grandson. You also want to call you Uncle Li." Call me uncle."
"My lord, please calm down. We have something to discuss!"
When Li Xiaoquan heard that the Living King of Hell was going to attack the Li family, he suddenly sweated like rain and bowed quickly.
"Your Li family is doing evil in Jicheng County. The family has family rules and the country has national laws. How do you want me to appease my anger?"
"You are here in Longxi, occupying the mountain and becoming the king. I have never given the king a chance to forgive you..."
"Bring them in!"
Several of the Li family's children were brought in with their heads and faces wet and their bodies wet.
Thumping, fluttering, they all knelt in front of Li Xiaoquan.
Li Xiaoquan actually knew that the county magistrate Lu Bing had received orders from his master in the past few days and had been waiting for the King of Shu without giving him any help.
The purpose of the King of Shu's visit to Longxi this time was very simple, that is, to ask for money and food, and at the same time to take back local power and strengthen centralization.
The heads of the Longxi family, including Jicheng Li, were unwilling to hand over their efforts, money and food.
They clearly got the news that the King of Shu had gone to Didao County, the master's home, but they didn't expect that he suddenly appeared in their place with a counterattack.
"You, what did you do?"
Li Xiaoquan asked knowingly what these people were doing, it was his instructions.
"Clan leader, save me, I don't want to die!"
"Clan leader..."
Li Ke interrupted everyone and said calmly: "Let me tell you. They were at the county magistrate's house and at the banquet. They said that I was the living king of hell. They also said that your Jicheng Li family was very powerful and scared me. Transferred to Didao County."
"The princes who are programmed by His Majesty are hopeless."
"I'll kill you immediately!"
"I just brought them here to see you for the sake of my relatives."
Li Xiaoquan looked at his kneeling sons, nephews and sons-in-law, and clenched his fists. The King of Shu was trying to force him to death!
He took a deep breath and laid out his cards.
"His Royal Highness, King of Shu, just ask for whatever you want. For the sake of the Supreme Emperor, please leave a decent place for my family."
Li Ke was furious: "I'll save you some dignity, but when will you show me the dignity of my king?"
Li Xiaoquan's whole body trembled. This King of Shu was too scary. He had never been so afraid when facing the Supreme Emperor.
"If I don't kill them, the people will not be angry."
Yan Yunda and others instantly drew out their scimitars. The bright scimitars seemed to be about to cut off the heads of these people.
"Your Highness, I'm begging you!"
Li Xiaoquan finally knelt down.
"The common people are willing to give up everything that belongs to the Jicheng Li family, including money, food and local power. From now on, I, the Jicheng Li family, will move out of Jicheng County and be self-sufficient in a certain village..."
Li Ke pondered for a long time, his expression slowly softened, then he stepped forward to help Li Xiaoquan up, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, what did you say? We are a family!"
"You are saying this as if I am forcing you. If this word spreads, my reputation will be lost."
Li Xiaoquan said with a tearful voice: "The common people volunteered. They are willing to sacrifice everything for the imperial court and your Majesty."
"In this case, I will no longer persuade you. I have dedicated everything to the country of the Tang Dynasty. I think my father will definitely remember your kindness!"
"After all, the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan surname is Li, and the Jicheng Li family also has a share, right?"
"I would like to thank Uncle Li on behalf of my father."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Li Ke thought for a while and then said: "I have one more thing, and I need Uncle Li's help. Tomorrow we will go to the Li family's house in Longxi. When I came, my father said that we must pay homage to our ancestors. "
Ah this...
Damn the King of Shu, he gave everything, and he still didn't let this old man go. He went to the master's house in Longxi, and he was quartered by the master's family. Both parties agreed to deal with the King of Shu together, but it turned out that he Already surrendered.
"Are you going? Worshiping your ancestors is a matter of supreme honor..."
"The common people are going with His Highness, but these children..."
Li Ke glanced at the old boys kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and said with a smile: "We are here to serve you, these unfilial sons should be beaten!"
"Come here, bring me a whip and whip this king to death."
"A bunch of heartless things, with their elbows turned outward, I will teach you the head of the family today."
Although Li Xiaoquan was resentful, he was content to keep these children alive.
What he was most afraid of was that this Living King of Hell would take the evidence of their crimes and seek death, and the Jicheng Li family might be exterminated.
