The pawn didn't have the courage to stop him, so he was a little unwilling to let Hu Nanxiang and Zhu Xiang go, standing on the side of the road and tangled. Zhu Yong snorted coldly and said, "The picketer's house in Shanyifang is on fire, and you can't wait to put out the fire, but you set up a blockade here, what is your intention?" The pawn said: "We are ordered by the peak, and Chang Shi Mo will ask us for our guilt." ”

Zhu Yong snorted, too lazy to talk to them, and hit the horse forward.

The fire was started from the kitchen of Li Mao's house at the end of the watch, after the fire Li Mao told everyone not to put out the fire, and waited, sure enough, soon after the fire started, there were twenty or thirty killers, dressed in dark blue cloth shirts, covering their faces, holding sharp blades over the wall and going straight to the inner house to kill. I wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but I didn't want to bump into Li Mao, who was waiting for him, so I met on a narrow road and slashed with a knife.

Li Mao's personal soldiers are all one in a hundred, they have all experienced the baptism of war, and at this moment they are waiting for work, facing the battle at home, but they did not have the upper hand for a while, and the enemy is skillful in formation, strong in martial arts, and especially good at hand-to-hand combat. When the killing was inseparable, a team of soldiers quietly set up a cordon outside the house to prevent the soldiers and civilians on the left and right from coming forward to put out the fire.

Zhu Yong was also stopped when he arrived with the Yunzhou officials, Zhu Yong was furious, whipped the colonel, the colonel refused to resist the voice, the two swords were tense, and when the stalemate was in a stalemate, Li Yacheng led the 30 cavalry of the Inner Courtyard Army to arrive, drank the colonel, and rushed into the fire to save people.

Li Mao led the crowd to kill the invading enemy, but a team of soldiers suddenly came again, Qingmo mistakenly thought that he was here to help, and went up to greet him, but was slashed down by the leading colonel. Fortunately, he was wearing shark skin armor and was not injured.

Seeing that he could not resist, Shi Xiong changed into a woman's clothes and took the lead in running towards the back garden, so he ran and screamed, and the team of soldiers quickly left the battlefield and chased Shi Xiong. Li Mao snatched Qingmo back from the chaotic army and helped him retreat to the secret room.

Li Mao's new house not only has a secret room, but also more than one, and there are secret passages between each secret room, connected into a network. The entrance to the chamber was very secretive, and the door was a thick, reinforced wooden door, and the enemy soldiers chased it to the door, but they could not succeed when they struck down with their swords and axes.

Shi Xiong ran into the back garden and hid in the rockery, the back garden was densely wooded, and the sky was dark, and the killer could not succeed for a while. At this time, Zhu Yong and Li Yacheng had already broken through the blockade and entered the fire. Yunzhou is the capital of Ziqing, the state government is very capable, the combat effectiveness is extraordinary, Li Yacheng led the thirty cavalry is the elite of the army, the blue-clothed killer has long been disabled by Li Mao, and the main force of the later Luo pawn was led away by Shi Xiong, under the onslaught of Zhu Yong and Li Yacheng, it was suddenly defeated, and seeing that the general trend has gone, the remnants have committed suicide.

At this time, Shi Xiong was found in the rockery, and the killer tortured and tortured Rong about his whereabouts. Shi Xiong gritted his teeth and didn't move, and his beaten body was incomplete. There is a secret room hidden in the rockery, but because it has not yet been completed, Shi Xiong and the others do not know where it is. Li Mao was worried that if he attacked and rescued people, he would accidentally injure Shi Xiong's life, so he let Rong walk out of the exit of the rockery to lure the enemy into distraction.

The officials of Yunzhou Mansion did not have bows and arrows, and the Inner Courtyard Army was not allowed to be equipped with bows without military orders, so he was worried that the strong attack would be frustrated, and when he saw that the enemy archers were attracted by Shi Xiong, he took the opportunity to kill. The soldiers couldn't resist, and fought and left, retreated beyond the wall to the house, and waited for Zhu Yong and Li Yacheng to chase them out, but they disappeared, and they were searching forward, but they were stopped by Zhuang Jinwu, the deputy general of the Simen Battalion.

Zhuang Jinwu claimed to have led troops to help, and asked him if he had encountered a killer pretending to be a soldier, and replied no, when he heard that someone pretending to be a soldier broke into Li Mao's mansion to assassinate him, he was immediately furious and immediately sent men to pursue.

Zhuang Jinwu and Yuhou Xu Xing have always been regarded as Li Fang's minions in the army, and everyone naturally didn't believe his words, but they couldn't help him without evidence.

Turning back to clean the battlefield, none of the killers had a living mouth, and the body was searched, except for weapons, there was nothing to identify them. Li Mao didn't want Zhu Yong and Li Yacheng to fall into the quagmire, so he concealed the account books of the Rong family and the dedication, Zhu Yong and Li Yacheng knew the shady scenes, and they didn't ask much, so they handled it according to the ordinary burglary. When the people of Yunzhou heard that Li Mao's house was on fire, they said: "The dog official has made a lot of money, and it is also retribution." ”

Soon after the fire broke out in the city, Li Shigu received a secret report from the head of the copper tiger, but he remained silent, and after Dongping County reported the burglary in the territory according to the routine, Li Shigu instructed that no matter who was involved, it should be investigated to the end. Zhu Yong, as the chief of government affairs, neglected to supervise and punish him for one year, and the deputy general in charge of military affairs of the Dongping County Commander and the Simen Battalion neglected his duties and was dismissed on the spot, and Wang Zhaofeng, the commander of Dongping County, and Zhuang Jinwu, the deputy general of the Simen Battalion, had always dealt with Zhu Yong and took the opportunity to take it, which undoubtedly sent a positive signal to Li Mao.

Jia bluntly felt that the time was ripe, so he presented the account book to Li Shigu, who invited the patriarch of the Li clan in Yingzhou and all the clan elders who were qualified to discuss matters to meet in the ancestral hall of the Nanzong and showed the account book in public, and the clan elders were dumbfounded.

Since Li Fang presided over the Yingtian system, he has become a family of his own, and the interests are exclusively enjoyed by the "Yingtian Li" room, and the Li children of other houses in the same clan have not received any benefits, which has already caused dissatisfaction among the children of the clan, but the climate of Yingtian Li has been completed, and outsiders are powerless to shake it, and Li Shigu, the only one in the clan who can move its foundation, has an ambiguous attitude, which makes everyone at a loss.

Since Chang Zhenmo retired and Li Fang moved to the town to observe the shogunate, rumors about Li Shigu wanting to clean up the camp field system spread within the Li family's clan, and the parents of each house who were dissatisfied with Li Fang connected with each other and brewed to fight the local tyrants and divide the land.

Therefore, as soon as Li Shigu made the account books public, everyone blew up the nest, and reprimanded Li Fang for being insatiable and ashamed of his ancestors, and demanded that he be severely punished according to family rules and national laws. Patriarch Li Yun listened to everyone quietly, and then said unhurriedly: "Is Qizhou Fang my Li family's disciple?" The crowd was silent. Li Yun said: "What does the Li family in Yingzhou rely on for today's prosperity? The people replied, "Brothers are of one heart, and their profits are cut off." ”

Li Yun looked at Li Shigu and said, "Li Fang is your uncle and your subordinate. There are family rules, and the state has national laws. The children of the Li family are not allowed to be killed outside the seven precepts, and Li Fang should not be killed for his crimes. Li Shigu said: "In recent years, there have been endless floods, droughts and locust plagues in Ziqing, the harvest has failed, the people are in distress, and even the displaced people have risen one after another, and the foundation will be shaken for a long time. The year before last, the two taxes were levied, and 36 civil uprisings were provoked, last year there were 73 cases, and this year there were 82 cases in just one quarter. ”

While Li Shigu was talking, the Huangfu brothers brought in an iron box, which contained the official documents of the civil uprising and the secret investigation report of the copper tiger head reported by various places in the past two years. The Huangfu brothers were originally the children of the Li family, and their father was Li Zhengji's concubine Li Jing. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Pinglu Army was ordered to quell the rebellion, Li Zheng has sent troops to Youzhou, defeated, was trapped by the enemy during the rout, fortunately the general Huangfuqing rescued before escaping a catastrophe, and then became brothers with Huangfuqing, soon Huangfuqing died, no children under his knees, Li Zheng has passed his young son Li Jing to Huangfu's family, changed his surname to Huangfu. After Li Zheng had expelled Hou Xiyi, the envoy of the Pinglu Army, occupied Ziqing, the Li family prospered, and Li Jing restored the surname Li, in order to show that he did not forget the grace of nurturing, so that his third and fourth sons were still surnamed Huangfu. Because of this, the Huangfu brothers can freely enter and leave the Li clan ancestral hall and listen to the deliberations of the clan elders.
