The Li family, in a luxurious hall.

The charcoal fire in the copper tripod is booming, there are two rows of low tables on the left and right sides of the hall, dozens of people are kneeling and sitting, accompanied by young and beautiful maids, constantly serving delicious food.

Because Li Mingtai, the head of the Li family, was out of the customs, some people in power with status and strength from top to bottom of the Li family were all present.

Li Mingtai sat on the main seat, and from time to time he raised a glass to the retainers and elite children, and between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Li Mingtai learned about what happened during the retreat and the information.

"So, the third child died in Red Leaf Villa because of that rebel's rash action?"

After listening to a steward's report, Li Mingtai slammed the wine glass on the table, his face gloomy.

The old steward turned a blind eye and was impartial, and went down after reporting the actions of the young master Li Ming.

"Big brother, Ming'er is also thinking about the family in the final analysis, big brother don't be too harsh. On the first seat under the main seat, a middle-aged strong man who looked seven or eight points similar to Li Mingtai spoke.

"Fifth brother, I have my own measure. ”

Li Mingjing nodded and stopped admonishing, just drinking.

Halfway through the banquet, Li Ming was finally late.

As soon as he entered the hall, he quickly fell to his knees.

The child greeted his father out of the country. ”

"Hmph! Li Mingtai waved his hand violently, and a blood-red wind rushed towards Li Ming's chest like lightning.

"When!" Li Ming's body instantly flew upside down and hit the copper tripod in the middle of the hall.

All the retainers and clansmen watched quietly, and no one dared to persuade them. There was even a flash of happiness in someone's eyes.

"Poof~" Li Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, but immediately got up again, knelt a few steps, and knocked his head on the ground.

"Father, the child is convicted. ”

Li Mingtai got up suddenly, pointed at Li Ming, who was kneeling below, and said angrily: "You are an acquired martial artist in that area, and you actually caused my Li family to lose two elite squads, and even caused Canghai to be seriously injured, and your third uncle was beheaded." ”

"Now I have offended Wu Anjun, which has made people come to the door to ask for the crime, and my Li family has lost face!"

"Before I retreated, I repeatedly told you to think twice about everything, and to consult the elders of the clan if you are undecided, and now that you are in such a situation, what is the use of me keeping you as a rebel!"

With that, Li Mingtai walked down the steps, a blood-colored blade appeared in his hand, and he directly shook his hand and slashed at Li Ming.

"Master, no!"

"Big brother, don't!"

"Patriarch!"

For a while, several innate masters made a move, blocking in front of Li Ming, stopping the blood-colored blade.

"What are you waiting to do to protect him!" Li Mingtai said, and wanted to rush forward again.

"Big brother, and rest your anger. Li Mingjing hurriedly stopped. "Ming'er is certainly at fault, but he is also thinking about my Li family, and the fault of this matter is not all Ming'er, it is all about Wei Wenhe and Wang Lung who are too deceitful!"

When a group of retainers saw that Li Mingtai was stopped, they also angrily spoke out to persuade each other.

"Yes, family master, it's not the young master who is at fault in this matter. ”

"It's all that Wang Lung is too despicable!"

"Damn the Weven River!"

“......”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Mingtai glanced at his fifth brother Li Mingjing, who immediately loosened his shirt, and the two returned to their seats.

"Everyone, since you all intercede for this rebel, then leave him alive for the time being, but my Li family and retainers share weal and woe, this rebel son has caused the master of the clan to lose his life, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!"

Li Mingtai said coldly: "Forty of the blood whips of this rebel, put him in the ancestral hall and repent, except for daily food, he has to contact anyone, and he must not take a step out of the ancestral hall, he is not congenital, and the ban will not be removed!"

The child confessed his guilt, was willing to accept the punishment, and thanked his father. Li Ming's heart trembled.

Forty bloody whips, and bloody whips. This punishment is an extremely serious punishment within the family.

What's more, if it is not innate, the ban will not be lifted, which means that he will lose his freedom for a long time.

"Shen Chai, damn Shen Chai!" Li Ming hated in his heart. Where did he think that killing a mere Acquired Ninth Order would cause such a big trouble. The point is that it hasn't been done yet.

He is now tormented in this way.

"Take it down!"

Waiting for Li Ming to be taken down, Li Mingjing said in a timely manner: "Big brother, now that Weiwenhe has started to secretly send people to check our fields and properties in Anyang, Hekou, Panshan and other places, and each branch of the ancestral hall has suffered several attacks and heavy losses, and three of the branch shrines have been destroyed. ”

"Before, the eldest brother was in retreat, and we didn't dare to act without permission, but now that the eldest brother is out of the customs, how to act, I also ask the eldest brother to decide. ”

Li Mingtai did not answer directly, but smiled and said, "Everyone, I have two good news. ”

"The first news, now that the situation in the DPRK and China has changed, the action of destroying the sect and abandoning the temple has been resisted by many princes, and I heard that the Son of Heaven has faintly overturned the previous will, and wants to rebuild the temple, recast the golden body, and appease all parties. ”

"What?!"

"That's true!"

"Has the Son of Heaven really changed his mind?!"

"Ancestors bless, the gods open their eyes. ”

Everyone immediately discussed, and some old men even burst into tears with excitement.

Wei Wenhe has been in office for three years, and the two major families have been overwhelmed, why?

Isn't it because of the will of the Son of Heaven?

In the past three years, more than 30 families, large and small, have had to succumb to Wei Wenhe's decree.

Even a lowly slave should not be punished and scolded at will, lest he be caught and put in prison.

It's that within the two major families, there are different voices, and they dare not confront Wei Wenhe.

As a result, the power and territory of the two major families are not as good as half of what they were three years ago!

Now they were overjoyed to hear that a will would come down, even if it was just a little rumor!

Because it has never been mentioned in the court, and now that there is a sudden rumor, how can it be easily pacified?

I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be implemented everywhere!

In this way, the brocade clothes and jade food are kept or secondary, the focus is on those invisible light behaviors, you can continue to conceal them!

When the discussion became weaker, Li Mingtai said again: "The second good news, I have entered the Lingqiao realm this time!"

"Congratulations to the patriarch!" everyone congratulated.

This news is even more exciting than the first news, in the final analysis, the foundation of a big family still depends on the strength of the strong.

The will is still far in the future, and now Li Mingtai's strength is even better, but it is right in front of him, which is a real benefit!

This means that it is difficult for Wei Wenhe to eradicate the Li family!

"Since Wei Wenhe wants to do things absolutely well, then we don't need to be polite. Now, it's time to return to color!"

Li Mingtai's eyes were cold, and he began to give orders one by one:

"Pass the order, send someone to keep an eye on all the city gates in the county, he Wei Wenhe dares to send one person out of the city to handle the case, one kills one, two kills a pair!

"Throw all the heads at the gates!"

"Sixth brother, you go to the fourteen townships and towns such as Hekou, Panshan, Anyang, and Tongxiang, and all the tenants under the name of my Li family, choose thirty percent of them to come to the county seat, and say that Wei Wenhe has an order, and my Li family has to take back the land and let them come to Wei Wenhe, the county honor, to ask for food!"

"Seventh brother, you have suspended the river transportation in Weishui and Baiyun Port outside Heyuan City, and all the ships and caravans under my Li family. At the same time, they purchased all kinds of medicinal materials and grains on a large scale.

Within a month, I want to see the price of grain, cloth, fruits and vegetables, and medicinal materials in Heyuan City double!"

"Fourteenth uncle, you personally go to Liangzhou, check the officials up and down, let them maintain neutrality in the triennial official evaluation, and if possible, let them write to impeach Wei Wenhe for his ineffective governance. ”

"Fourth brother, you go and contact the Yang family, let them cooperate with us to act, remember to meet the head of the Yang family in person!"

"In addition, fifth brother, you arranged for someone to spread the news in the county seat, saying that I had broken through the Lingqiao Realm, and sent out invitations to invite all the families in the city to come to the banquet. ”

"I want everyone to know that the Wei Wen River is a useless paper tiger!"

One after another, everyone in the hall acted quickly.

Li Mingtai looked at the sky outside the door, and a trace of blood flashed in his eyes.

"Wei Wenhe, I want to see, wait for a month, the people's resentment outside Heyuan County is boiling, and the state government has sent an order to ask questions, and the subordinates are killed one by one, can you still sit still!
