Li Zhongyi understood Li Dahe's hint: he, the eldest son of the Li family, actually turned the tide and saved the family from the dire situation when the family was facing a catastrophe.

Unlike later generations, who lived mainly in small families, people in this era paid great attention to the concept of family.

The head of the family, or the patriarch, has very strong authority in the entire clan, and even has the right to set up a private torture hall and resolutely deal with the unscrupulous descendants of the clan.

To be honest, Li Zhongyi is not interested in the head of the family or the patriarch. No matter who is the patriarch, as long as he is not strict and harms his interests, he has nothing to do.

"Grandpa, why aren't there even lanterns lit in front of the house?" Li Zhongyi was embarrassed to say that his home was too deserted, and he was afraid that Li Dahe would not look good, so he turned a corner to find out.

"Alas, your mother is very distressed that she has lost thousands of acres of good paddy fields," Li Dahe paused, and then said, "In a fit of anger, she insisted on leaving the house with your second brother......"

Although Li Dahe's words are vague, Li Zhongyi doesn't need to think too much, and it is easy to deduce the original story.

The Cao family was calculated by Li Zhongyi and lost a large amount of money, such a large fortune was sucked away, with Cao's greedy and unbridled personality, how could he give up?

As a result, the Cao family deliberately made trouble with Li Dahe, and then in a fit of anger, he simply took Li Zhonghao to run away from his family.

Moreover, the Cao family must have taken all the money away, otherwise, no matter how poor the Li family is, they will not even be able to light lanterns at the gate.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, Cao's family, if you have a little backbone, don't come back again!

Before he could finish his thoughts, Li Zhongyi suddenly heard a commotion in front of the house, and the movement became louder and louder.

Li Da and Huo Di stood up and were just about to ask outside the door, when they saw Li Wu panting and running from outside, saying, "Ah Lang, there are many people from the Cao family who came to the mansion, shouting and scolding the street, and the villain saw them holding sticks in their hands from the crack in the door, so they didn't dare to open the door. ”

Li Dahe immediately understood that it must be Cao's brother, and Cao Meng led someone to knock on the door.

Although the Cao family is a famous and wealthy family in Wanzhou, in recent years, the official position in the court is only Cao Meng, the elder brother of the Cao family.

Cao Meng is now the county lieutenant of Shu County under the rule of Chengdu Prefecture, which is an official position under the eighth grade, which is two levels lower than the current doctor of Li Zhongyi.

"Go and see it for the Father." Li Dahe walked out a few steps, heard footsteps behind him, turned his head and saw Li Zhongyi silently following.

Li Dahe opened his mouth, he wanted to stop Li Zhongyi from going out with him, but after thinking about it, he has not yet resumed his official position, and if Cao Meng's reckless man moves roughly, he is likely to suffer a big loss.

"Then Cao Meng is your elder after all, let's meet later, even if his words are not very good, don't worry about him." Li Dahe whispered to Li Zhongyi and asked him not to be impulsive.

Li Zhongyi nodded on the surface, but he made up his mind in his heart that as long as the situation was not right, he would let the coachman block the carriage of the royal gift to the door, and let Cao Meng smash it casually.

Hehe, surnamed Cao, you kid ask for more blessings, but don't fall into the hands of Lao Tzu?

In the memory of the cowardly "Li Zhongyi", not long after the Cao family married into the family, his eldest son, who was only three years old, was once pushed down the fish pond by Cao Meng and almost drowned.

The old grudges carried by the old skin, combined with the abuse and bullying of his mother and son by the Cao family now, Li Zhongyi will not be able to let go of Cao Meng who took the initiative to send him to the door no matter what.

When Li Da and his father and son rushed to the front of the mansion, the gate was smashed from the outside, and there were endless shouts and scolding.

"Open the door." Li Dahe shook his head and sighed, and ordered to open the door of the Li family.

Li Wu had just removed the deadbolt, "Tom." With a loud bang, the door was slammed open from outside, and a large group of people followed a blue-robed official with a big belly rushed in and broke into Li's house.

Li Dahe held back his anger and arched his hand and said, "Brother in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" He didn't call Cao Meng by his name, but chose a brother-in-law who was closer, still wanting to save some face for the Cao family.

"What's unharmed? Less of this. Lao Tzu came today to seek justice for my hard-working second lady," Cao Meng's face shook very badly when he spoke, "Don't talk nonsense, just return the good land of my second lady." If not, I, Cao Meng, recognize you, and the guy in my hand doesn't have long eyes. ”

"Brother-in-law, why did you say that?" Li Dahe asked Cao Meng in surprise.

"Hehe, surnamed Li, others may not know what kind of ghost your father and son are doing, can I Cao Meng not know what is greasy here?" Cao Meng pointed at Li Dahe's nose and scolded.

At this time, Li Zhongyi, who was standing beside Li Dahe, caught a glimpse of the bottle standing not far away, and nodded deeply at him.

Li Zhongyi secretly praised the bottle for doing things, since she had already notified the coachman, then the rest of the matter depends on how Cao Meng performs to his heart's content.

"Brother Cao, if you don't offer the thousand acres of fertile land, the Cao family and our whole family will ......."

Cao Meng didn't intend to let Li Dahe finish his words at all, so he interrupted rudely, "Don't talk about those who don't, since it was a letter written by you, then Lao Tzu is only looking for you." ”

Li Zhongyi saw it very clearly, this Cao Meng clearly wanted to blackmail the Li family, and he didn't want to give Li Dahe a chance to explain at all.

The thousand acres of fertile land were Li Zhongyi's mention, and Li Dahe wrote to Cao's family and asked her to give up her wealth to save her life.

Li Dahe blushed and had a thick neck, trembling with anger, but he was still thinking about the relationship with Cao's husband and wife, and did not say the word divorce.

Cao Meng was unforgiving, shaking the letter written by Li Dahe to the Cao family in his hand, brutally forcing Li Dahe to hand over the thousand acres of fertile land.

Li Zhongyi deliberately did not come forward, so that Li Dahe was stimulated by the Cao family more, which is not a good thing.

The subordinates of the Cao family, waving the sticks in their hands, shouted with Cao Meng, and the formation was very noisy.

"Cao Meng, what do you say?" Li Dahe was forced to be anxious and changed his brother-in-law to Cao Meng.

In this year, it is very rude to call the name of a relative of the same generation.

Cao Meng sneered a few times and said, "Doesn't your Li family have a large piece of ancestral land outside the city?" Use that to offset your bill. ”

Li Dahe said angrily: "That is the ancestral property of my Li family's clan, how can I have the right to sell it?" ”

"Then I can't take care of it, it's natural to pay back the debt." Cao Meng suddenly raised his voice, "Don't think about paying the bill, otherwise, I will definitely take you to see the official." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Li Zhongyi, even Li Dahe understood. Dare to be affectionate, the Cao family thought that Li Dahe had lost his official position, and there was no future for him, so he wanted to bully the Li family.

Li Zhongyi didn't think about it, only if Li Dahe was completely dead, their family would be completely quiet.

Jue Bottler snorted at him, Li Zhongyi turned his head to look behind him silently, and saw that the coachman had already driven the carriage of the imperial gift and drove slowly.

When the time came, Li Zhongyi stepped forward without hesitation and roared: "You dogs, forcibly breaking into the official mansion and trying to rob, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?" ”

"Official residence? Robbery? Wang Fa? Cao Meng got Li Zhongyi's "reminder", and immediately became evil to the guts, and he spat thick phlegm into the ground, "Little ones, smash it hard." ”

The evil slaves of the Cao family swarmed up with sticks, and Li Zhongyi took the first step, quickly grabbed Li Dahe, who was already confused, and pulled him aside.

"Boom, bang, bang......" Under the stick of the Cao family, the Li family immediately jumped with chickens and dogs, and the miasma of black smoke was smoky.

At this moment, I saw a military attache in military uniform, leading a group of patrolling Wuhou (police), rushing into Li's house from outside the fang.

When the military attache saw the chaos in the house, he immediately shouted, "Stop! Where did the villains come from, who dared to break into the official residence in broad daylight and want to rebel? ”

With this roar, the evil slaves of the Cao family were frightened by the word rebellion, and they all stopped smashing, and their eyes were all on their master Cao Meng.

Li Zhongyi looked carefully, and the officer who came was none other than his good brother, Huang Jingsheng, the deputy of the Jinwuwei team.

In layman's terms, Huang Jingsheng's terms of reference are equivalent to the acting director of the "police station" in the jurisdiction of the Li family.

"This brother, this official is Cao Meng, the county governor of Shu County, and he is a relative of this family, and some debts need to be cleared." Cao Meng saw that the official face was coming, and Huang Jingsheng's grade was lower than him, so he gave up his hand and explained, "It's purely a family matter." ”

"Housework? Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has lived so much, I haven't seen anyone with a stick to do housework, you must want to rebel. "Huang Jingsheng must be on the side of the Li family, so every word is inseparable from the word rebellion, don't care about it, the big hat will be buttoned first.

Huang Jingsheng buttoned his hat while looking around, and finally found Li Zhongyi's location from the crowd.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi just nodded slightly, and did not take the initiative to stand up, Huang Jingsheng was relieved.

Others may not know that Huang Jingsheng definitely knows how powerful Li Zhongyi is, and since Li Zhongyi doesn't want to come out, there must be a good reason.

"Cough, the deputy team is just right, and he dares to deduct the crime of this official, could it be that he received the black money from the Li family?" Cao Meng's fearless counterattack made Li Zhongyi sense a hint of ominous omen.

Sure enough, without waiting for Huang Jingsheng to speak, someone had already set aside the martial marquis surrounding the Li family and walked into the courtyard quickly.

"Huang Teamzheng, there's nothing for you here, let's go patrol the streets."

Huang Jingsheng saw the person who came clearly, and subconsciously asked the person: "Wang Jie, why are you here?" ”

"This officer has led troops to patrol here, and now there are many people here, so come and have a look." The envoy of Nawang Street said slowly, "Deputy Huang, the matter here is handled by this official personally, you can patrol it." ”

"Wang Street Envoy, this is the jurisdiction of the lower officials, the lower officials have already led troops to take over the case, but they have returned in vain, how can they explain to the upper peak?" Huang Jingsheng politely rejected Wang Jie's "kindness".

Li Zhongyi also understood that the Wang Street Envoy who dared to love happened to be Huang Jingsheng's top boss, Jin Wuwei's right street envoy, whose status was equivalent to that of the director of the Public Security Bureau in later generations.

Well, even this Wang Jie envoy has solved it all at once, which is not bad, so as not to leave trouble.

Wang Jiezhi laughed angrily, he trembled all over, raised his hand and pointed at Huang Jingsheng's nose, and shouted: "This official ordered you to leave quickly, otherwise, military law will be involved." ”

How could Huang Jingsheng watch Li Zhongyi suffer, not only did he not leave, but strode in front of Li Zhongyi, holding the handle of the knife and protecting him behind him.

"If anyone comes, they will all be taken down by the official." Wang Jie's envoy finally exploded, regardless of the poison.

Seeing the situation, sliding step by step to the worst, at this time, the soldiers guarding the door, like a tide, suddenly separated to both sides.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, I saw a beautiful boy in a brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, one step at a time, and Jiao Erlang paced in from outside the door, standing proudly in front of the door.
