In the past two years, Ziqing has had continuous civil upheavals, and there is no need for the contents of the iron box to prove that Li Shigu has already had the intention of a showdown when he does this, which makes the atmosphere suddenly serious.

Li Shigu continued: "I intend to cut the two taxes to help the people survive the famine, strengthen the roots, and ease the antagonism between the government and the people. However, Xuanwu Han Hong, Xu Si and Zhang's family did not die, and they blocked the grain road, although I had salt farms and trade profits, I could not buy military rations. How could an army of 100,000 have no food for a day, so I discussed with Uncle Fang and asked him to increase the supply of military food. He deduced that he had no food, but privately trafficked grain and grass to Hebei for profit, and even his old enemy Han Hong! ”

The rumors about Li Fang selling grain and grass to Han Hong have long been there, but there has been no real evidence, and when the words came out of Li Shigu's mouth, everyone was still skeptical. Zhou Ru, the judge of Li Shigu Yingtian, took out the confession, and Zhou Ru personally confessed that from the eighteenth to the twentieth year of Zhenyuan, he escorted three batches of 20,000 stone grain to Caozhou to deliver with Xuanwu, which is corroborated by Lu Shishan's confession.

There was a sudden scolding in the hall, and they all reprimanded Li Fang for eating inside and out, and he was an unscrupulous descendant of the Li family. Li Shigu wiped away his tears and said emotionally: "In the past, I was fifteen years old when I took over the throne, and my uncle helped me to do it today, I promised my uncle to treat Qizhou Fang well in his lifetime, but he didn't mean that his old man drove Hexi for only three years, and he made trouble in this field, I ......"

Li Shigu was choked and unspeakable, and everyone sighed. Li Shigu stabilized his position as a fifteen-year-old boy, Li Guangzheng made great contributions, Li Shigu reciprocated Li, and in the past ten years, Qizhou Fang can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Patriarch Li Huang shouted: "Ah Fang is too selfish, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, it is not appropriate to show his head again, persuade him to retire, and let his son Li Gu come out as a director." ”

Patriarch Li Guanghe shook his head and sighed: "If you say that although Ah Fang is a little more selfish, there are still some means, Ah Gu, that child really doesn't see any talent in the world except playing with women." ”

These words won the hearts of everyone, Li Fang's son Li Gu was nearly forty years old, and when he was a teenager, he wandered all day without any positive appearance. Even Lao Tzu Li Fang couldn't look down on him, and publicly claimed that he would not hand over the Yingtian Department to him.

Patriarch Li Yun coughed, the discussion subsided, Li Yun asked Li Shigu: "Ah Fang is indeed at fault first, you persuade him to retire, the old man has nothing to say, but you take him down before the bones are cold, how can you explain to the world?" Although Li Gu is greedy for fun, he is not confused, and he is also a talent if he cultivates well. ”

Li Shigu said: "Uncle Yun commanded, Shigu obeyed his orders." I'm afraid that Uncle Fang will not retire, and Uncle Yun must come forward in this matter. Li Yun twisted his beard and smiled: "This is a trivial matter, you can make your own decisions." ”

Li Mao stood on the ruins of the new house that was destroyed by the fire and wanted to cry without tears, only a wry smile remained, the house can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, but how can the dozens of unjust souls who died in the fire be expelled? He was taboo about this and decided to abandon it.

In order to protect Li Mao, Li Changshan sent a team of people to listen to the tent, which can not only be used as a guard, but also can be sent by Li Mao if there is something Li Mao.

Li Shigu handed over the task of persuading Li Fang to retire to Li Mao, which was undoubtedly a hard bone to bite. Before leaving, Li Mao and Zheng Xiaozhang repeatedly deduced, but they still had no bottom in their hearts until they set off.

Li Fang's name is to recuperate behind closed doors, but he is actually under house arrest. After Li Shigu got the support of the clansmen, he released rumors that Li Fang would be punished, Li Fang was frightened, moved out of the house, and wanted to live in a separate courtyard separated by only one wall from the Li ancestral hall, and in case of danger, he could go to the ancestral hall to seek the blessing of his ancestors. Li Shigu sent the Huangfu brothers to intercept them and forcibly placed them in a quiet courtyard in the southeast corner of the city.

This house is located in the upper wind of Yunzhou City, quiet and elegant, but the area is not large, there are two thick locust trees in front of the main hall in the door, the branches are luxuriant, lush. This is a courtyard under the ancient name of Li Shi, inherited from his father Li Na, in the early years lived here Li Na's favored one-room house, after Li Na's death, people were forced to die by his wife, this house was empty. Li Shigu thought it was ominous, and he had been unwilling to take half a step, and this time in order to cooperate with Li Maoqing to investigate the corruption case of the camp field, Li Fang was specially placed here. The guards and subordinates inside and outside the house are all Li Shigu's cronies.

Qingmo commanded a few wrestlers to carry the eight iron boxes to the front of the backyard hall, the wrestlers withdrew, and Qingmo and Mo Qi Shentong opened the lid of the box one by one, and the box was stored with evidence of Li Fang's corruption and murder over the years.

Before Li Mao entered, the former branch judge Liu Xuanming was in Li Fangfang's room to persuade him to return, Liu Xuanming in the branch of the shogunate for 30 years, served Li Zhengji, Li Na two terms of the Jiedu envoy, as early as Li Zheng's era has emerged, Li Na era is a hot figure in Ziqing, Li Shigu took over the position of Li Zhengguang to listen to Li Zhengguang's advice, with his age has been persuaded to retire, to ask the imperial court to add its inspection of the Ministry of Engineering. Liu Xuanming is good at financial management and has been reused by the two generations of the Li family, the faction color is very light, and he is a figure acceptable to all factions, in terms of age and qualifications, he can be Li Fang's elder, and it is Li Shigu's meaning that he comes forward to ease the atmosphere.

Li Fang was polite to Liu Xuanming at first, but when he found out that he was a lobbyist sent by Li Shigu, he immediately turned his face, lifted the table in front of the old judge, and splashed Liu Xuanming's body with tea, which scared Liu Xuanming's hands trembling, Li Fang pointed at Liu Xuanming's nose and scolded: "Old thing, you have today from my Li family, my Li family has treated you badly for more than 30 years, you are old, you are confused, you actually helped the clown to calculate my Li family, you get out of me!" I curse you to give birth to a son as a slave, and give birth to a daughter as a prostitute, and you old thing will not be able to protect your old age, and you will not die well. ”

Liu Xuan is old and senior, and even Li Shigu's brother still respects him for three points, this time Li Shigu asked him to come out and say that after weighing the pros and cons, he thinks that it is not difficult to persuade Li Fang with his own face, not only can he sell Li Shigu a face, but also give Li Fang a favor, it is really a double win, and he can not only show his face but also pave a way for future generations.

"I ...... You...... I ......"

Liu Xuanming never thought that this would be the result, his face was blue for a while, and he fainted in his heart with a sullen breath.

Li Mao came here to bring Chang Heqing, seeing this and hurriedly rescued, Li Mao taught the accident first aid methods he had learned in his previous life to the people around him in his spare time, Chang Heqing was the best among his disciples. Hurriedly put Liu Xuanming flat, unbuttoned his shirt, pinched and pinched, and blew into his mouth again, Liu Xuanming woke up from the coma, screamed, and opened his mouth to spit out a bunch of filth.

Pointing at Li Mao and scolding: "It's all for you, it's all for you, you're old and lose such a big face." ”

Li Mao accompanied the smiling face and sent Chang Heqing and Shi Kong to send him away.

Mo Qi was afraid that Li Fang would be brutal, and followed Li Mao into the main room with a knife.
