Xu Jingzong sorted it out a little in his mind and said: "Master Hou, the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi is the eldest son of Situ Li Tan of the Qin State, Li Chong, the county guard of Longxi County, and Li Yao, the second son of Li Chongzhi, is the guard of the southern county and the Marquis of Di Dao; His grandson Li Xin was a general and was named the Marquis of Longxi. His descendant "General Fei" Li Guang was an important figure in the Han Dynasty. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Li clan of Longxi rose in the troubled times, and Li Hui, the king of Xiliang, was the first monarch of the Li clan. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Li clan of Longxi won the Gui group, the world is significant, the door is Gaohua, and the Li clan of Zhaojun, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Cui clan of Boling, the Lu clan of Fanyang, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and the Wang clan of Taiyuan are called the five surnames of the Gaomen Shi clan in the Central Plains, and the inheritance of these scholars is short for 500 years, and the long one has reached a thousand years. ”

"In the Sui Dynasty, because the Li Hu lineage, a branch of the Li family in Longxi, was one of the famous Eight Pillar Kingdoms, the Li family in Longxi was more prestigious. However, at present, inheriting Li Hu's early death, Li Yuan, who was only seven years old at the time, attacked the Duke of Tang, which made Li Hu's family gradually show weakness, and Li Yuan did not occupy a high position, so he was gradually not valued by the Li family in Longxi. ”

"In fact, there are thirteen branches under the Longxi Li clan, which are Fanyang Li's, Dunqiu Li's, Bohai Li's, Shengongfang's Li's, Danyang Li's, Anyi Li's, Pingliang Li's, Guzang's Li's, Shazhou's Li's, Servant's Fang Li's, Jiangjun's Li's, Wuling's Li's, and Jingzhaofang's Li's."

"These thirteen branches and the family combined, as far as the humble officials know, the number of officials of the Li clan in Longxi in the imperial court is not less than 100, from the three departments and six provinces to the prefectures, counties and counties across the country, up to the squire, the assassin, down to the county officials, as for the civil landlords, merchants, traders, officials, and soldiers, there are countless people."

"Hou Ye may not know, the humble judgment that the secret murder of Hou Ye has the participation of the Li family in Longxi, in addition to this matter, only they can do it, there is also a reason that half of the more than 100 people arrested by Shen Guang are surnamed Li."

"In short, under His Majesty's deliberate suppression, although the Li family in Longxi did not serve as the main official of Yongzhou, too many of the petty officials were from the Li family. Zhang Ye County Yingyanglang General Li Fengyun, who was scared into a madman by Hou Ye before, is the youngest son of the Longxi family, this was originally the person with the most troops in the hands of the Li family in Longxi, and it could not be one of the biggest reliance of the Li family in Longxi, but it was in the hands of Hou Ye. Therefore, when Hou Ye was appointed by His Majesty as the general of Yingyanglang in Zhangye County, Hou Ye could be regarded as having a mortal enmity with the Li family in Longxi. ”

"In short, in this Jincheng, in addition to the assassin Shi Wang Tong, every official under the city, all the way to the old soldiers guarding the city gate in Jincheng, the shopkeepers of various shops, the girls who laugh on the street, the old men who sell their arts in front of the temple, etc., may all be members of the Li family."

Wang Junlin really didn't expect the power of the Li clan in Longxi to be so huge, he originally thought that the enemy who secretly murdered him this time was mainly Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, but now it seems that this is probably not the case. He was slightly stunned, and said ruthlessly: "What if there are many people, am I still afraid that they will not succeed." ”

"Master Hou is not afraid." Xu Jingzong said worriedly: "But Master Hou, the law does not blame the public...... Even in normal times, the Li clan in Longxi has the strength to make Yongzhou chaotic, they can control people from all walks of life, and there is a way to make the people complain, and the people are not happy...... And now that there is a snowstorm, they have the ability to manipulate hundreds of thousands of displaced people to their own use. ”

Wang Junlin knew what Xu Jingzong was worried about, and said with a smile: "Jingzong don't worry, there are advantages to the huge power of the family, but there are also disadvantages, at least it is difficult for them to hide with the whole family like those ordinary nobles and big landlords." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin's smile gradually faded, and he said indifferently: "I was already preparing to kill, but now it seems that there are still a few people who were going to kill before. ”

The Li family in Longxi has never been a bully, nor has it deliberately maintained the mystery of the Gaomen family, so many Yongzhou scholars and tourists from afar will walk along the wide avenue in the forest after walking in Longxi City, go around to the outside of the city, and take a few looks at the beautiful and majestic manor from a distance.

Although you can't play it up close, it's enough to entertain your eyes when you look at it from a distance.

Over the years, the Li family in Longxi is low-key and not mysterious, so this Li Garden, which has been cultivated for nearly two hundred years, also maintains the profound imprint of their family, a brick and a tile, a grass and a tree, a step and a pavilion, and not how gorgeous and dazzling, but it reveals a faint sense of simplicity and intimacy, and the courtyard wall built along the mountain is not tall, and visitors can see the cornices inside when they stand on the official road. If you stand closer, you can hear the murmuring of water inside.

Closeness, does not mean homely, simple, of course not simple, in the eyes of people who really know the industry, you must be able to see every detail in this pet manor can not be picky. Every material and design is ingenious, and in the eyes of a general, it can be seen that this manor seems to be defenseless, but as long as it is simply renovated, it can become a castle that can be defended for half a year in a very short time...... In fact, in the great battle last year, after the fall of Longxi City, the Turks and Qiang people once wanted to send troops to take this manor, but they attacked for half a day, after paying hundreds of lives, they did not succeed, just when the Turks were angry and ready to increase the army, the Li family sent an envoy to talk with King Bodo, and gave 200,000 taels of silver to King Bodo as military funds, and finally survived.

The weather has not been very good these days, early spring has arrived, but the sun is rare,

Li Fengmu, the eldest son of Li Zongxian, the contemporary head of the Li family in Longxi, walked alone on the road home in a carriage, and there were no tourists who could be seen in the usual days.

The carriage stopped a little strangely outside the side door, and Li Fengmu pulled the corner of the curtain, revealing a gloomy face, looking at the front door of his house.

There seemed to be a send-off, and a middle-aged man in an official uniform was walking into his carriage with an angry face on his face.

Li Fengmu put down the curtain, looked back at the staff on the opposite side and said angrily: "Just now we also talked about this Longxi County Taishou Liu Zhigang, who didn't want to come to our house to borrow grain again, and he didn't want to be his identity, a little Taishou dared to come to our Li family to spread wild." ”

……

……

"Father, I have already confessed. It's just that more than a hundred of our people responsible for discrediting and slandering King's Landing are missing. After half a burnt incense, Li Fengmu respectfully stood under the stone steps of the small courtyard in the corner of Li Yuan, facing the house.

There was a slightly tired and comforting voice from the contemporary owner of the Li family in Longxi, Li Zongxian: "If those people are missing, they will be missing!" Even if they fall into the hands of King's Landing, they will not affect us anything. At the most critical time, as long as the displaced people eat the official food of Jincheng, Longxi and Zhangye County, the displaced people are hungry, and they will inevitably be controlled by us. ”
