The hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife has always been the most irresolvable of all the hatreds of human beings. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Li Su knew that this matter was related to women, he suddenly knew that he couldn't be good.

Speaking of old accounts, but at this time and that time, when the Hou family was in the limelight, Hou Junji was a dragon hero, a knight of the country, quite a saint, as for the Hou of Anping County...... There are so many marquis in the whole country, who knows who Anping Hou is? So at that time, Hou Jie acted without scruples, robbed a woman with Liu Xian, and robbed it, it was no big deal, as long as the power of the Hou family did not fall, Liu Xian would never have anything to do with him, and he could only endure it forever.

However, the Hou family fell after all.

The fate of the loss of power is very serious, the grace given back then may not be reciprocated, but the enmity made back then will definitely be repaid, hatred is always more unforgettable than kindness, never forget.

"It's been three years ago, and Liu Xian hasn't forgotten it?" Li Su glanced at him.

Hou Jie nodded, his face full of bitterness: "That woman...... It's so beautiful, it can be described as the best in the world, she was originally an official eunuch girl, and then her father was beheaded, and the whole family was confiscated into the inner teaching workshop, which fell into the dust, Liu Xian has been thinking about her, and it is still not easy to be lovesick for three years......"

Li Su sighed and said, "So, Liu Xian found you today, just for this woman?" Is this woman still with you? ”

Hou Jie nodded and said, "I bought her and included her in the family, and to this day, she is still my concubine......"

"Liu Xian forced you to give that woman to him?"

"This is one of Liu Xian's purposes."

Li Su said slowly: "I have a question that I have been trying to ask just now, even if the powerful family has a feud, it must not be so hasty and reckless, if it is said that it is a bit too much to poison you for the sake of a woman, even if your Hou family has lost power now, it will not tear your face so completely, not to mention that Liu Xian just said that he attacked you in the name of the Marquis of Anping, that is to say, this matter is no longer a personal grudge between the two of you, but a feud between the two families, it must be not just for a woman, right?" Is there another reason for this? ”

Hou Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." ”

"Tell me."

Hou Jie was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Li Su, his eyes flickered, and said: "Before my father exiled Qiongnan, I went to visit in prison, and my father once said that if the Hou family is in great trouble, you can find Zizheng's brother, and Zizheng's brother will protect my Hou family, is it true?" ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You have squeezed your words into this, if I say it is false, I am afraid that I will also lose the reputation of the old man, right?" ”

Hou Jie blushed and hung his head in shame.

Li Su snorted coldly: "Hou Jie, we didn't have much friendship in the past, your father, General Hou, was kind to me, but I also repaid it later, otherwise you think that what your father committed was just exile?" The eldest husband has clear grievances in his life, and he doesn't have to worry about it, since I have encountered this matter, there is no reason to stand idly by, didn't you hear what I said to Liu Xian just now? I said that I will bear the grievances of the Hou family, but you have to be clear, I help the Hou family for the sake of your father's face, and it has nothing to do with you, if you still play this little cleverness in front of me, but don't blame me for really letting go, do you think I am happy to offend a powerful county marquis for the Hou family? ”

The little cleverness in the corner of his heart was exposed by Li Su in person, Hou Jie was so ashamed that he was embarrassed, and his face was flushed and he hurriedly apologized.

Li Su smiled faintly, and it was revealed.

There are no real fools in this world, each has its own cleverness, but the smart is also divided into types, some are deep, the road is sufficient, a stupid look of great wisdom and stupidity has done a big thing, some rely on a little caution to take a small advantage, and it will be like this for a lifetime, Hou Jie's cleverness naturally can't escape Li Su's eyes, in the past, Li Suruo encountered it, and he just smiled slightly and didn't care, but today he was very unkind to expose it in person.

The reason is very simple, it can be regarded as for the sake of the deceased. The Hou family has fallen to such a point, and the eldest son of the Hou family has relied on a little caution and cunning to calculate the benefactor who just saved his life, Li Su has to help Hou Junji teach a few lessons, whether he can listen to it or not is Hou Jie's business, if Hou Jieyang is against the yin, it is simple, Li Su and the Hou family's friendship is only limited to Hou Junji's generation.

Looking at Hou Jie's ashamed appearance, Li Su said lightly: "Okay, these words shouldn't be said by me, I just like to meddle in things, let's talk about it, what grievances do you have between the Hou family and the Hou of Anping County?" ”

Hou Jie was speechless for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Anping Hou and my Hou family...... It can be said that it is a feud. ”

Li Su frowned: "Why do you say this?" ”

"Long before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when His Majesty was still the King of Qin, my father was already the general of the Qin Palace, at that time Liu Ping, the Marquis of Anping, was just a soldier under my father's command, specializing in transporting the army's grain and grass, that year to conquer Wang Shichong, the two armies fought a decisive battle outside Luoyang City, when Liu Ping escorted a batch of military food due to heavy rain and missed, three days later than the military order, almost caused the army's heart to be turbulent, my father was angry, even if he practiced military law, Liu Ping's left leg was broken, and it took three months to see the good, and then Liu Ping gradually showed his strength, Repeatedly made military exploits, but when I reported to my father, my father still hated Liu Ping for almost breaking the big thing back then, so he repeatedly intercepted Liu Ping's military exploits and did not report them, Liu Ping risked his life to earn most of the military merits were intercepted by my father, and finally the Tang Dynasty was founded, Emperor Gaozu divided the meritorious heroes, Liu Ping was only sealed a county, or later after His Majesty ascended the throne, Liu Ping did not know what way to go to the county marquis ......"

Li Su was stunned, and then sighed.

According to this statement, the two families are really feuding, hindering people's future is worse than killing their parents, and the grievances between the Hou family and the Liu family can be said to be "not shared".

"So, that so-called stunning woman is just an excuse for Liu Xian to seek revenge, right?"

Hou Jie nodded: "That woman...... It is indeed deeply liked by Liu Xian, today Liu Xian intercepted me to avenge the world, and secondly, by the way, he also wanted to occupy her, killing two birds with one stone, he knew that now the Hou family has been ruined, and the Liu family does not know when to climb the eldest grandson's family, one is the other, the Hou family can only let him slaughter the ......"

Li Su also understood at this time, no wonder Liu Xian just said that it was in the name of the Anping Marquis Mansion to seek revenge, it turned out to be a family feud, and now the Hou family is in decline, it is a good time to take revenge, this Anping Marquis Liu Ping is really very patient, and he endured it for more than 20 years before waiting for the opportunity.

Li Su pondered for a long time, and smiled: "Okay, I probably know everything, it's still the same sentence, the grievances of the Hou family, I will bear it." ”

Hou Jie's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Thank you Brother Zizheng, when my Hou family was in danger and despair, my father's colleagues in the court and China avoided it, only Brother Zizheng did not give up, and reached out to help, and the Hou family inherited the great kindness of Brother Zi, and he will be ...... in the future."

Li Su interrupted him and said, "Okay, don't say anything to repay your kindness, I did this for the friendship with your father at the beginning, and second, I don't want to be ashamed of my conscience, there is no other reason than this,...... I'll send you back first, and then visit the aunt of the Hou family, and then talk about other things slowly. ”

Hou Jie thanked him again, and said all the way, when Li Su and his subordinates were about to arrive at Suzaku Street, Hou Jie suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zizheng, I went wrong, my family is no longer on Suzaku Street......"

Li Su was stunned: "Moved?" ”

Hou Jie smiled bitterly: "After my father committed the crime and was exiled, the palace province took back my family's mansion, drove my family out, and confiscated most of the family property and all the fields, and now my family lives in a small house in Changxingfang......"

Li Su was silent for a moment and sighed.

Under the nest, there are no eggs, and Hou Junji's decision at the beginning really hurt the whole family.

Li Su and his subordinates immediately turned around and walked for half an hour before they reached Changxingfang, Hou Jie pointed out the way, and finally everyone stopped in front of a dilapidated small door.

After opening the door, a white-haired old porter of the Hou family walked out, and when he saw Hou Jie being carried back with scars, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly called the family members loudly, and the family members rushed out of the door one after another.

Li Su quietly looked at the sadness and despair of this family, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The current situation of the Hou family seems to have suddenly sounded the alarm bell for him.

The rise and fall of the family, all the head of the family, a thought can be prosperous, a thought can be defeated, Li Su is now also the head of the family, the rise and fall of the entire Li family is all tied to Li Su alone, in this era when the emperor's will can decide everything, if you want the family to prosper for a long time, it will not fall to the point of the Hou family, Li Su must be extra cautious every step in the future, otherwise, if he loses power, Li Su dare not imagine how much humiliation his father and Xu Mingzhu will endure, just like the current Hou family, just look at the dilapidated narrow door in front of him, you will know the bitterness.

The Hou family has fallen into disarray, the small mansion is full of family members, and the servants and maids have been dismissed, leaving only a loyal old porter.

After all the family members cried around Hou Jie for a while, several old women supported a woman in her forties and slowly walked out.

When the family members who were crying around Hou Jie saw this woman come out, they stopped crying, got up and bowed their heads in a proper manner, and they didn't dare to come out.

The woman slowly walked in front of Hou Jie, and the strange thing was that she didn't even look at Hou Jie, who was covered in injuries, but her eyes fell on Li Su first, and after a quick look, the woman saluted Li Su.

"Wait for the convict's wife to meet Li Xiangong."

Li Su hurriedly bowed and returned the salute: "Aunt Hou must not torture the little nephew." ”

The woman is Hou Junji's original wife Hou Fangshi, Li Su once went to Hou Junji's mansion and visited her.

Hou Fangshi straightened up and said: "Before the husband exiled Qiongnan, he said that the Hou family is in decline, Chang'an is not livable, or there is a disaster of old feuds, the husband told me, if the Hou family is really in trouble, there are no righteous people in Chang'an City, only Li County Gong can be entrusted with pleading, today my Hou family is seriously injured, and Li County Gong personally came to the door, presumably the Hou family's disaster has come." ”

Li Su looked at her in surprise.

Mrs. Hou is known as a virtuous person, I heard that when Hou Junji intended to participate in Li Chengqian's rebellion, Mrs. Hou advised him many times, but Hou Junji insisted on going his own way and never listened to the good words and persuasion.

"Auntie is serious, if you talk about the disaster, it is not so serious, today the little nephew just specially visited the aunt."

Hou Fangshi sighed and said: "Today's Hou family, even ants can't be provoked, it may not be anything in your eyes, but for the Hou family, no matter who you provoke, it will be a disaster." ”

It was only at this time that Hou Fangshi turned his head to look at Hou Jie and said, "Jie'er, who injured you like this?" ”

Hou Jie was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "...... The son of the Marquis of Anping, Liu Xian. ”

Hou Fangshi showed such an expression, and said: "Back then, the husband planted the evil cause, and today there is such a reward. ”

After a pause, Hou Fangshi said again: "I heard that Liu Xian also had a grudge against you, for what?" ”

Hou Jie hesitated for a while, and then said, "For, for...... Jie'er. ”

Hou Fangshi said without hesitation: "Okay, immediately send your concubine Jie'er to the Hou Mansion of Anping, and make amends to him, all the valuable things in the family are taken out, exchanged for silver and sent to the Liu family, if the Liu family refuses to reveal it, you will always kneel at the door of his house, and the voice of reparation is louder, it is best to let the people in Chang'an hear, in this way, the Liu family will be a little jealous of us......"

Hou Jie was shocked and lost his voice: "Mother, Jie'er is my concubine, she has been married for three years, and she also gave birth to a child for me......"

Hou Fang's expression suddenly became fierce, and he shouted: "Now it's to save your life!" Got it? Protect the life of the male of the Hou family! In order to protect the men of the Hou family, all the women and children of the Hou family can be sacrificed, including me! If the man is alive, there is hope for the Hou family, and only then can there be a day when the mountain will make a comeback, and only then can you wait until your father is not extremely Tailai and the pardon is ordered to return to Beijing, if the man can't live, how many days do you think the rest of the women and children can live? Idiot! ”

Hou Jie's eyes were red, he knelt in front of Hou Fang's clan and lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and his fist clenched the corner of his clothes.

Thick humiliation, strong hatred, accompanied by helpless despair of the end of the road, at this moment, no one in the Hou family spoke again.

Li Su was also stunned.

He didn't expect Hou Fang's family to be such a decisive and ruthless person, the family was in decline, the enemy provoked, in order to protect the family, he did not hesitate to break his wrist by a strong man, and his stoic mind was worthy of being Hou Junji's wife.

Li Su had to speak.

"Aunt is slow, you don't have to sacrifice like this, the little nephew is willing to bear it for the Hou family."

Hou Fangshi turned his head to look at him, and said with a calm face: "Li Xiangong, can you protect the Hou family once or twice, for a year or two, and for the next generation?" If the husband is not pardoned in his life, and he cannot return in the remote and poor place of Qiongnan for the rest of his life, the Hou family has fourteen men, do they all have to rely on you to bear the burden of Li County? How long can you afford it? ”

Turning to look at the speechless family members, Hou Fangshi said sharply: "The Hou family can only last long if they save themselves!" Only then can you survive in a desperate situation! If you only think about the help of others, our Hou family will be annihilated in the world in less than ten years, others help is love, is a favor, but the more the affection is used, the thinner it is, the more the favor is owed, the more you are used to it, you are used to kneeling, no one can help you up, what is the use of living, lose the face of the ancestors and ancestors! ”

If Li Su was surprised by Hou Fang's decision to break his wrist just now, Hou Fang's words shocked Li Su at this moment.

There is such a strong woman in the family who does not admit defeat, Li Su can be sure that even if the Hou family falls, even if there is no Hou Junji, it will still be able to make a comeback.

At this moment, Li Su's heart was full of respect, bowed down to the Hou Fang family, and said sincerely: "Auntie and listen to the little nephew, the little nephew and General Hou have a very good relationship, the matter of the Hou family is the matter of the little nephew, the little nephew bears it, and the aunt's self-improvement is respectable, but with all due respect to the little nephew, today's crisis, the Hou family is afraid that it will not be able to bear it, Anping Hou is prepared this time, the feud of the year has not disappeared, he will not let go of the Hou family easily, the little nephew came forward today, and has already helped the Hou family to bear it, and the aunt is waiting for the news of the little nephew, Wait until the Hou family survives this misfortune safely, and then try to prosper the family in the future. ”

Hou Fangshi sighed at this time, his expression was gloomy, and said: "The family is in great trouble, and it is really difficult for the woman to save the building, I am not a stubborn person, since the Hou family can't bear it this time, I can only rely on the mediation of Li County Gong, the old man and the Hou family thank Li County Gong for his great kindness, and when the husband and the cloud are opened, they will be repaid." ”

After speaking, Hou Fangshi suddenly knelt down at Li Su and bowed down, and the family members of the Hou family also bowed down to Li Su, and even the injured Hou Jie also knelt down.

Li Su hurriedly avoided the side and said, "Auntie, this is the birthday of your little nephew, if I receive this great gift, what face will I have to see General Hou in the future?" ”

Anxious, but inconvenient to reach out to help Hou Fang's family, Li Su had no choice but to hide aside and helplessly let Hou Fang's family get up after completing the ceremony.

"Auntie relax, Anpinghou is there, the little nephew has his own plans, and within ten days, the crisis can be solved. In the past few days, I asked the Hou family not to go out as much as possible, so as not to cause unprovoked disasters. ”

Hou Fangshi nodded in response, Li Su explained a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.

***********************************************************************

Back at home in Taiping Village, Li never had time to rest, called Xu Mingzhu and told her to visit Hou Fang's family as a junior, of course, the visit is just a reason, the important thing is to pack a few carts of gifts, silver cakes, silk, raw meat and green vegetables, etc., send some real things, which can be used in life, and by the way, bring more than 20 parts, and stay at the door of the Hou family day and night, in case Anping Hou comes to the door to retaliate against the Hou family.

Seeing Li Su's solemn expression, Xu Mingzhu couldn't help but worry.

"Husband is in trouble again?"

Li Su was stunned: "Why do you say 'again'?" ”

Xu Mingzhu removed the word "again" very face-savingly, and then said: "Husband is in trouble? ”

Li Su scratched his head: "It's barely a trouble......"

"What does 'barely' mean?"

"It means, the trouble is provoked, but the trouble this time is not big, compared to the time when I disagreed with the prince and was tough, this time the trouble is simply not a problem......" Li Su said and said, actually showing a look of relief: "Oh, I suddenly found that I am becoming more and more mature and stable, amazing!" ”

Xu Mingzhu couldn't cry or laugh: "Who did the husband provoke this time?" ”

Li Su smiled: "A county marquis ......"

Xu Mingzhu's apricot eyes blinked, and her expression gradually relaxed.

Who knew that Li Su immediately made up for it: "...... However, the backer behind this county marquis is the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

Xu Mingzhu was dumbfounded: "Prime Minister of the eldest grandson? Husband, you ......"

Li Su said with a smile: "Madame relax, the eldest grandson Wuji will not help him out." How can a person who can be the prime minister not know how to weigh the pros and cons? On one side is me, and on the other side is the so-called county marquis, if the eldest grandson Wuji has a grudge against me for him, can it be cost-effective? ”

Xu Mingzhu is not a novice who doesn't know anything now, he has a little understanding of the court situation, and he said worriedly: "Even though the prime minister of the eldest grandson will not deal with the husband this time, but the husband provoked the county marquis, the prime minister of the eldest grandson still has a problem with the husband in his heart, how to deal with the eldest grandson's family in the future?" ”

Li Su shook his head: "After this incident, I will come to the door to apologize to the eldest grandson Wuji, the affection is enough, the eldest grandson Wuji is not a narrow-minded person, he should be able to laugh it off, so it is not a big problem, but madam, you have to remember that the friendship between the eldest grandson family and our family may become weaker and weaker, and the perfume workshop we partner with the eldest grandson family will try to make more concessions in the next few years, and let them have some small profits, if nothing else, within three or five years, the relationship between our family and the eldest grandson family may be variable......"

Xu Mingzhu's eyes widened in shock: "Is it because of today's incident?" ”

Li Su smiled and didn't answer.

To tell the truth, Li Su didn't take today's matter to heart, even if Li Su suddenly had a murderous intention, so that the plan would erase the whole family of Anping Hou from the world, I believe that the eldest grandson Wuji would not care too much, except for the royal family of the Heavenly Family, there is no one in the world and any family worthy of the eldest grandson Wuji to protect at all costs, especially Li Su's current status is different from the past, and the eldest grandson Wuji will not easily make enemies with Li Su, a small county marquis, who is not related to the eldest grandson's family and has no reason, at best, there are only some interests involved, This kind of person doesn't even have the qualifications to be a chess piece, how could the eldest grandson Wuji turn his face against Li Su for him?

Of course, it is reasonable to feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and at this point, Li Su came to the door to apologize and apologize, which can basically be revealed, and will not leave disasters and sequelae.

The variables with the eldest grandson family that Li Su said referred to the upcoming battle in the East Palace.

This is a major event that touches the interests of the powerful and wealthy, Li Su knows very well that the eldest grandson Wuji is optimistic about Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Su is optimistic about Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and the Li family and the eldest grandson family have formed a conflict, which is inevitable and cannot be resolved.

For the position of the prince of the East Palace, now there is an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City, and some contradictions have not yet surfaced, so everyone's face is passable, once the situation gradually becomes clear, the contradictions will also go to the bright side, and the boat of friendship between the Li family and the eldest grandson family should almost capsize.
