Li Zhi said with a sad and indignant face: "You Qinghe Cui clan deceived me too much, and you didn't even give me the opportunity to commit suicide, father, have you seen it, this is my Tang Dynasty's family, and I don't take the royal family in my eyes at all." ”

This big hat made the faces of Cui's subordinates pale, and Cui Hao was even more desperate, and the position of the head of the family would not have anything to do with him from now on.

Maybe it was because the commotion had been going on for too long, Li Zhi became weak, and said in a weak voice: "You let go of me quickly, otherwise I will be strangled to death by you." ”

After being let go by them, Li Zhi sat on the ground without any image, panting heavily.

As soon as it was quiet, a group of people came over with four old men in their arms.

The person at the head, with gray hair and an old age, was on crutches in his hand, and stared at Li Zhi with blazing eyes: "You are His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince?"

Li Zhi looked up at him and said with a smile: "Do you suspect that His Highness is pretending?" Want to arrest His Highness and send him to see an official? ”

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness is serious, how dare the old man doubt His Highness's identity, it's just that His Highness just came to my Cui clan and made our entire Qinghe Cui clan restless, which is really a good means." ”

Li Zhi didn't seem to understand his sarcastic words, and said with a confused face: "What do you mean by this uncle, I am a bitter master, and I was beaten and scolded by the people of your Cui family like this." ”

The old man rolled his eyes violently, you kid doesn't even have a killer to take you, just rely on what those wine bags and rice bags can do to you, you look at where you can see how you are beaten by someone.

The old man also knew that there was no point in saying this now, who let the idiot of the second child take the initiative to jump in.

"Your Highness, you say, what do you want our Cui clan to do to calm this matter?"

This old man is Cui Jian, the previous head of the Cui family, and he has always had a vicious eye, and Li Zhi's little tricks were seen through by him at a glance, but it was useless to see through them, after all, their Cui family's people were doing it to others in public.

Even if you don't hurt someone, as long as you do it, you will be charged.

Cui Jian knew the ins and outs of the matter in his heart, although the cause was because of the gambling house, but he thought that Li Zhi must have a deeper reason, or it was simply instructed by His Majesty.

The existence of these noble clans is a thorn in Li Er's heart, and he can't wait to pull it out quickly.

But judging from Li Zhi's methods of dealing with this matter, it doesn't seem like it was instructed by Li Er, otherwise Cui Xu's matter last time would not have just asked for some money and made the Cui family give up the usury business, but at least it should be to expand the attack area, directly execute Cui Sheng's vein, and exile all the rest of the Cui family in Qinghe to Lingnan and other desolate places, and never return to Qinghe.

If this is the case, the Qinghe Cui clan may completely lose its influence in a few decades, become a small family, or even disappear the entire clan directly.

This old guy didn't go around in circles at all, and asked himself directly what they should do, which made him too embarrassed.

But don't blackmail, how can you be worthy of your hard work and all the way to Qinghe.

"Ahem, the old man hasn't asked for your name yet, and the kid doesn't know what to call you?"

"Old man Cui Jian."

"You are the old man Cui Jian, the kid has admired you for a long time, my admiration for you is like the water of the Yangtze River rushing endlessly, and like the water of the Yellow River is out of control."

Seeing Li Zhi's excited face, Cui Jian felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he interrupted Li Zhi's performance and said: "Even your father may not have heard of the old man's name, I don't know where His Royal Highness heard the old man's name, and he can admire the old man so much, it really makes the old man puzzled, and please ask His Royal Highness to solve my doubts?" ”

Eh, I haven't heard of this old man's name? It's a bit too much.

However, Li Zhi has always understood that he is thick-skinned and eats all directions, so it doesn't matter if he has heard his name or not.

"Hahaha, old man, it's no problem for you to live a long life and be a hundred years old, as long as you live well, it will be the greatest wealth of the Qinghe Cui family."

This kid's lies have been exposed by himself, and he doesn't blush at all, which is really something that he has to admire as a person who is about to enter the coffin.

"I'm so thirsty on this bumpy road, don't you Cui even give me saliva to drink?"

Cui Jian said with a smile: "Then Your Highness, please come with the old man, it is rare to meet a young man like His Highness who can still talk to the old man, this is not easy, there is no one to talk to the old man for a long time in this family." ”

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to support Cui Jian and said, "Since this is the case, then the kid will help the old man to sit down." ”

After walking hundreds of steps, I saw three rows of courtyards, all of which were planted with a small patch of green bamboo, and a red lantern hung at each end of the door.

Li Zhi helped Cui Jian to walk towards the middle row of courtyards, silently counting how many independent courtyards there were in this row.

One of the people who was following Cui Jian just now ran in front of them and opened the door of the eighth courtyard. Said respectfully: "Patriarch, please come in." ”

There's nothing special about this yard, it's just clean.

Cui Jian said: "I am the only one living in this courtyard now, and it is relatively simple inside, I hope Your Highness will not dislike it." ”

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, old man, you can live, what can't I live, between people, no one is more noble than anyone else." ”

Hehe, what a sharp-toothed boy, no one is more noble than anyone in this last sentence, isn't this just what I, an old man, listened to.

Our Qinghe Cui clan is the first family in the world, and everyone is proud of being from the Qinghe Cui clan, but in his mouth, our Qinghe Cui clan is no different from those poor families.

"Your Highness, I don't dare to agree with this, but Your Majesty is from the Li family in Longxi, is this right?"

The Li Tang royal family was from the Li family in Longxi, but it was a far-fetched product of his grandfather at that time in order to appear noble in his family, which was ridiculed by a prominent family like the Qinghe Cui clan.

Cui Jian's meaning in this is that if everyone in the world is the same, why do you Li Tang royal family have to say that your family is from the Li family in Longxi.

"I don't know which of our Li Tang royal family has more status and influence than your Qinghe Cui clan in the old man's heart?"

Cui Jian thought that this was Li Zhi, the little guy, digging a trap for himself again, so his answer was naturally decent.

"This is naturally the royal family, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."

Although these famous families look down on the Li Tang royal family in their hearts, they can only discuss it in private, even if he, the person with the highest status in the Qinghe Cui clan, will not openly argue with the royal family.

"Hehe, since our royal family is more influential than your Qinghe Cui clan, how can we still pretend to be the Li clan in Longxi, my imperial grandfather said this, it just shows that his old man has not forgotten his roots, not because the Li clan in Longxi is noble."

Li Zhi naturally wants to protect his own face, but also can't let his grandfather's face be damaged.
