Chapter 513: Li Wenzhong's Ruthlessness (2) (3rd Update)
The movement of the palace was so big that it could not be concealed at all, and in addition to the palace, there were several families in the city that were also broken into by the soldiers of the Pinglu Army or the Forbidden Army.
Not only the mansions of a few families, but also the shops under their names have suffered.
Such a movement frightened the people in the city, and they hurriedly hid far away.
But seeing that he wasn't looking for trouble with these people, he had the courage to fight, and began to point and watch the excitement.

"Oh no, something happened!"
Tian Fu, a young man in a round-necked robe hurriedly ran towards the house, and everywhere he passed, Tian Fu looked sideways, wondering what was going on.
In the backyard, two old men were playing Go, and when they heard this panicked shout, both of them stopped their movements.
"Brother Tian, is there something going on in the house?" One of the old men, who was dressed more plainly but elegantly, asked with a smile.
"Just look at it!" The Tian clan patriarch shook his head with a smile, but there was also a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes.
"Old Chen."
I saw that the young man hurriedly ran in, saluted the elegant old man, and then said to the patriarch of the Tian clan, "Grandfather, something happened, something happened to the palace!" β
"The palace?" The patriarch of the Tian clan raised his eyebrows, thinking of something but not sure, "What happened to the palace?" β
"Those who were soldiers rushed into the palace, saying that the palace was colluding with rebellion, hiding weapons and armor in the army, intending to rebel, and the Jiedu envoy ordered the arrest of everyone in the palace and confiscated all the property of the palace." The young man hurriedly said.
"What?" The patriarch of the Tian clan stood up suddenly, his face was incredible, he was really worried about something, "What about the Confucian Mansion?" β
"The army did not rush into the Confucian Mansion, but the shops in the name of the Confucian Mansion were seized. In addition to this, several other families were also broken into by the army.
Grandfather, is this Qingzhou going to be chaotic, let's run! The young man said anxiously.
"Tell me which houses have been raided?" The Tian clan patriarch hurriedly asked.
"In addition to the palace and the Confucian mansion, there are also the Li Mansion and the Sun Mansion in the south of the city, and the Zhao Mansion in the west of the cityγγγγγ I heard that many people died in the palace, and they all bled like a river... β
Hearing this series of families, the patriarch of the Tian clan understood that these were relatively small donations at the previous banquet, without exception.
"Cheng'er, where is your father? Did you send the 3,000 yuan you wanted to send to the Marshal's Mansion? The patriarch of the Tian clan hurriedly asked.
"Grandpa went to Zhuangzi outside the city, it seems that Grandpa said that he would send the money when other families gave it... Send it over... Speaking of the back, the young man also heard a little eyebrows, and his tone was a little hesitant.
"Go and get your father back, and then send the money to the Marshal's Mansion as soon as possible. Double the money to 6,000.
No, just give 10,000 guan and let him send the money over today! β
"Yes!"
The young man hurriedly ran out.
And when the young man went out, the patriarch of the Tian clan found that his back was already drenched with sweat.
"Brother Tian, is it because of the previous banquet?" The old man said curiously.
"Brother Chen is right." The patriarch of the Tian clan wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I was a little worried before, but I didn't expect this new festival commander to be so ruthless." The Wang family is the largest family in Qingzhou, and if they say that they will copy their homes, they will copy their homes. β
"The people don't fight with the officials." The old man shook his head, "This Wang clan was used to being arrogant before. Now that Wang Shifan has fled to Dengzhou, taking care of himself, the Wang family has not restrained himself, but has gone to humiliate the new marshal and seek his own death.
Speaking of which, Chen still has some friendship with the new marshal, and it seems that he is going to visit. β
"Oh!" The patriarch of the Tian clan was surprised, "Brother Chen still has a friendship with this Cui Jieshuai?" Why hadn't I heard Brother Chen mention it before. β
"It's just that I've met a few times, and I don't know if this Cui Jieshuai remembers the old man Chen." The elegant man laughed to himself.
There are not a few families who reacted like the patriarch of the Tian clan, and the various families who participated in the banquet that day learned that the palace was raided, and hurriedly doubled the money they promised to donate that day, and some even added a lot.
It's not asking for money, it's about death!
For a while, there was a rumor in Qingzhou City, and everyone in these families was in danger, for fear that the next one would be themselves.

"General Li, what are you doing here? Didn't Ben Shuai say don't touch the Kong family? β
Jiedu Embassy, hearing that the Kong family's shops were all raided by Li Wenzhong, Cui Anqian was a little angry, obviously he didn't take himself seriously.
"Did the marshal misunderstand? The last general's people have never entered the Confucian Mansion. Li Wenzhong, who looked indifferent, took a ledger from the hands of the person behind him, flipped through it casually and said, "Jie Shuai, this is the money that was confiscated."
Wang's is the most, and the statistics have not been completed for the time being, but it is calculated to be more than 700,000 guan, which may be more; The second is the shop of the Kong family, I didn't expect that there were still 100,000 yuan, but it was quite rich, and they also found a lot of things in their store that Tang Lu explicitly prohibited from selling.
In total, there should be hundreds of them. Even if most of it had to be handed over to the state treasury, the rest would be enough to alleviate the shortage of the government treasury. β
Cui Anqian's face turned pale, "General Li, don't divert the topic." What Ben Shuai said is, why do you want to move the Kong family. β
Li Wenzhong looked up at Cui Anqian, threw the account book to his subordinates, and said lightly, "Jie Shuai must have forgotten that I, Li Tang, regard Laozi Li Er as my ancestor, not Confucius."
Even if this Confucian family is the descendant of the Confucian saint, shouldn't he be punished for committing something? The palace has seized a lot of weapons and armor in the army, and I'm afraid that the Kong family also has a lot of contraband, right?
If this matter reaches the ears of the saint, I am afraid that the charge of covering up rebellion will not be able to escape at that time.
The Cui clan is not as good as it was back then, even if the festival commander doesn't think about himself, he has to think about your Cui family. Don't spoil this good situation because of a moment of soft-heartedness.
What's more, there are no dead people in this Kong family. Just a few stores, it's a lesson.
You must know that this Kong family has damaged the face of the handsome, and the last general is also angry with the handsome. β
"You γγγγγ" Cui Anqian pointed at Li Wenzhong, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally spit out a few words with difficulty, "You are very good!" β
Cui Anqian didn't expect this Li Wenzhong to contradict him like this, not only against his will, but also threatened him with his family.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
But thinking of Li Wenzhong's identity, Cui Anqian can't do anything with him, if he makes trouble in front of the saint, maybe as the other party said, he will leave a bad impression in front of the saint.
But continuing to stay here also made him very shameless.
After speaking, Cui Anqian was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away.
