This Zheng family in Qizhou is not ordinary, it is a branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Therefore, he has always been regarded as the head of the Qizhou family, and he has never taken Qizhou officials in his eyes. It can even be said that even Li Ke is nothing in his eyes.

"The prince is preparing to go to the Zheng family in person, as far as the lower officials know, this Zheng Wanshou, the head of the Zheng family, is an extremely stingy person, and he is nicknamed Zheng Pixiu."

"And this Zheng Wanshou has always been arrogant and domineering with the support of the Zheng family in Xingyang. If the prince goes in person, I am afraid that he will inevitably not be able to come to the stage at that time. Wang Tianlai said to Li Ke.

"This king has lived so much, and he hasn't seen what Pixiu looks like. Today, the king just went to see the appearance of the divine beast Pixiu. Li Ke said playfully.

Seeing that Li Ke had already made up his mind, Wang Tianlai opened his mouth and said: "Since the prince is going to see the divine beast, then the lower officials will naturally have to get rid of the prince." After finishing speaking, he and Li Ke laughed.

"Gao Kan, gather the blood wolf forbidden army for this king, and surround the Zheng family for this king before this king arrives. Remember, no one is allowed to come and go. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Gao Kan.

After snorting, he turned around and went to gather the Blood Wolf Forbidden Army. And Li Ke and Wang Tianlai walked leisurely towards the Zheng family.

……

"Master, are we really not taking it at all? I've heard that several people have been put in prison. It's better to be careful, sir. The old housekeeper of the Zheng family said to Zheng Tianshou.

"How can those ants be compared with my Zheng family, if they don't give money to Li Ke, the king of Qi, they are asking for hardship. You see, Master Ben, I don't take a penny either, have you ever seen a soldier come to our Zheng family? Zheng Tianshou said to the old housekeeper with a look of anger.

The old housekeeper also knew in his heart that his old man was stingy. Otherwise, people will not compare it to a pixiu that only eats and does not pull.

So naturally I stopped persuading, but at this time. But a family member hurriedly ran in. And said: "My lord is not good, a group of officers and soldiers from outside the mansion have surrounded us." ”

Hearing Jia Ding's words, the smile on Zheng Tianshou's face instantly froze. The original arrogant and domineering expression was replaced by doubt.

"It's the soldiers of Qizhou Mansion who came? I didn't expect this Sun Wei to dare to surround my mansion. It seems that he, the governor of Qizhou, doesn't want to do it. Zheng Tianshou said.

"Master, I see that the soldiers are all wearing Mingguang armor, and it seems that they should not be Qizhou soldiers. On the contrary, it is like the blood wolf forbidden army of King Qi. The man said.

"Master, it must be King Qi's Blood Wolf Forbidden Army who is here. Because the person who went to other families to forcibly collect donations today is this forbidden army. The old housekeeper said to Zheng Tianshou.

"I didn't expect that this Li Ke was ready to tear his face with my Zheng family. In that case, don't blame me for not giving him face. As long as Li Ke comes, you will tell him that Master Ben is not at home. ”

"If he is willing to wait, you will have two bowls of cold water served to him. Let him sit in the living room by himself. After Zheng Tianshou finished speaking, he turned around and left the study and went to the back house to hide.

……

"Lord Wang, this is Zheng Tianshou's mansion. The lower official went to call the door and asked the prince to wait here for a while. Wang Tianlai opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"The king doesn't have to be so troublesome, just leave the matter of calling the door to this king." Li Ke said to Wang Tian with a smile on his face.

Li Ke's words made Wang Tianlai not react for a while. I don't understand why Li Ke went to call the door in person, is it to show goodwill to the Zheng family?

But the next moment, Wang Tianlai understood, it turned out that Li Ke's way of knocking on the door was very direct. That is to let Gao Kan lead people to directly knock the door open.

Then Gao Kan led a group of forbidden troops into Zheng's house, and stood on the left and right in the courtyard. Although Li Ke was under the escort of Shan Daozhen, he and Wang Tianlai walked into Zheng Tianshou's house.

At the moment when the door of Zheng Tianshou's house was knocked open, the old housekeeper received the news. Hurriedly brought someone out to greet him.

As soon as he saw the mighty scene in the courtyard, the old housekeeper couldn't help but tremble in his heart. I don't think I can be good today. But he is just a subordinate, how can he be the master of Zheng Tianshou.

All he could do was greet him with a smile on his face, and after saluting Li Ke, he said: "I don't know if the prince is coming from afar, and I ask the prince not to be surprised." ”

"Do you think you have the right to speak to this king? Call your lord Zheng Pixiu out to this king, this king is here to see the divine beast today. Li Ke said to the old housekeeper mercilessly.

The old housekeeper said with an embarrassed face: "It's really unfortunate that the prince came, the lord went out a few days ago." He hasn't returned yet. ”

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back, this king has time to wait for him. But you'd better send a letter to him, saying that the king is waiting for him at his house. ”

"If he does not return within half an hour, the king will burn down one of his houses. When he could not return in an hour, the king burned three of his houses. ”

"If you can't come back before dark, then the king will burn his Zheng family." Li Ke said with a fierce expression.

After finishing speaking, he took Wang Tianlai into the living room and sat on the main seat in a big way. There is not the slightest hint of modesty and politeness.

At this time, the old housekeeper was really frightened, and hurried to the back house. told Li Ke's words to Zheng Tianshou as they were.

When Zheng Tianshou heard Li Ke say that he came to see the divine beast, he was furious. However, he did not take Li Ke's words to heart.

still explained to the old housekeeper and used cold water to entertain Li Ke and Zheng Tianshou. This couldn't help but make the old butler feel a little inappropriate.

said to Zheng Tianshou: "Master, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer losses in front of him. Let's give him 100 yuan first. lest it make a big fuss and be bad for anyone. ”

"I'd like to see how much trouble he can make, isn't he going to burn down my house? Then let him burn well, I want to see who gave him this guts. Zheng Tianshou said with a disdainful face.

In the end, the old housekeeper could only go to the living room helplessly, and brought two bowls of cold water according to Zheng Tianshou's explanation. But before he could put down the cold water, Li Ke had already stood up.

Looking at the cold water in the old housekeeper's hand, Li Ke said with a cruel smile: "Wang Tingshi, I don't know if these two bowls of cold water can extinguish a fire." ”

"The prince laughed, wouldn't that be a drop in the bucket." Wang Tianlai said to Li Ke with a smile.

At this time, Li Ke's face suddenly became cold and abnormal, and he said, "Come on, burn this living room for this king." ”

After Li Ke finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the living room, and Shan Daozhen and Wang Tianlai followed Li Ke and left the living room as well.

At this time, Gao Kan had already sent someone to bring a torch, and went directly into the living room to set the fire. The furnishings in the living room are all made of wood, and when they encounter a fire, they instantly turn into flames.

Good thing this living room is independent, if it is connected to the other rooms. I'm afraid this fire will burn the Zheng family to rubble.
