Chapter Forty-Eight: East of the Mountains, Five Surnames in the World

"What do you take revenge for?" The old voice next door came suddenly. Li Ping and Li Bai looked at the source of the sound in surprise, and there was an even darker cell.

The two squinted their eyes and looked into the farthest dim corner, and a faint figure emerged from the messy straw, and its sharp gaze passed through the man's messy hair, through the railing of the cell and threw at the two, and finally fixed on Li Ping.

"Son, to whom do you take revenge? On what basis for revenge? The old man asked directly.

Although the voice is old, there is an extremely positive aura coming from the surface. Some people can reveal some of their own characteristics as soon as they open their mouths, some are treacherous, some are humorous, and some are stingy...... However, this revelation is basically at the level of personality. As soon as the old man on the other side of the cell spoke, he made people feel, "positive".

This kind of positivity is a natural positivity that transcends the level of character and temperament and exists in the bones.

Perhaps it was the unique aura of the old man that made Li Ping's train of thought work normally, which triggered Li Ping's contemplation.

"Lujin is also a small and prosperous town by the Han River, plus the accommodation merchants, I am afraid that there are more than 300 people. Great Qin has been in the world for a hundred years, and it must have some basis to be able to attack a small town of a few hundred people in this glorious and prosperous era. This kind of reliance is by no means possessed by a dark organization that secretly carries out assassinations or something behind it. It must be a force that others can't move because of what they believe in. Li Ping seems to be an answer, and it is like a self-talking reasoning.

"The forces of all parties in the martial arts conference gathered in Xiangyang, to say that there should not be too many who can really reach this point, they must be able to reach and surpass the level of the Iron Sword Gate, and the Iron Sword Gate will definitely not do this, Xiangyang is the foundation of the Iron Sword Gate's life, if they are so perverse on their own territory, let alone Xiangyang, I am afraid that even Shannan Province will not be able to tolerate them. That's right, first of all, this force is so big that the Iron Sword Gate is helpless. ”

"Is it the Nine Great Sects? But if the Nine Great Sects were not profitable, how could they do such a tiring and thankless thing. And the small town of Lijin, what can make them profitable. ”

The old man on the other side was stunned, but he didn't expect that Li had a rough and close to the truth inference about this matter when he was talking to himself. The old man is in prison, he doesn't know who the murderer is, and the slaughter of a small town is also an unprecedented and terrifying incident in Daqin. As Li Ping inferred, in the old man's heart, there is naturally a general range to know what the force is. The old man was shocked and indignant, and had already decided to intervene in the matter. Seeing that the young man didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he intervened.

For such a major event, there are too many clues to be found for people at certain levels of the Great Qin Empire, and the whole process of the matter cannot be concealed. But for the vast majority of people below that level, this matter is an extremely strange suspense case, and there will never be a day when it will come to light. This is how many things have happened in this empire, and even in all dynasties.

"This kind of thing, the iron sword gate will go around, you are in prison, even if you go out, during the visit, the disaster is only in the blink of an eye, if you have the ability to protect yourself, you don't have to appear in this cell. Besides, how can such a thing be done by one person? The old man's brows furrowed slightly, and Li had broken through the barrier and pointed to the target with this simple inference. However, he didn't want the young man to be shattered by the answer. Yes, just by looking at it, you can be crushed. Those who can know this answer have naturally reached a considerable level.

Moreover, this matter is really strange, as Li Ping said, he doesn't know what kind of profit this matter has. The old man just hoped to lead the young man away from the answer. As it turned out, this diversion had the opposite effect.

"Of course it's not just me, it's me." Li Bai listened to Li Ping's self-talk just now, and thought of the past when he was hangover in Baiyun Mansion and fought wine with the shopkeeper to keep books, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy. When is Li Taibai a person who is afraid of things.

"Moths to fire, is there a difference between one small bug and two little bugs? Under those forces, Shixian will not be a bigger bug. The old man sighed.

Li Bai was stunned, but he didn't expect the old man to recognize him and smiled.

When the two opposing parties are too different by orders of magnitude, it doesn't matter how big that huge is. Do you think there is a difference between a foal or a camel for ants? Li Bai said with emotion, "How about the Nine Great Sects?" What if there is a family behind it? It's the day when Shangshu also has a Zhishi, isn't it? What's more, it is not known whether this matter is an individual act or a sectarian act. ”

"Ignorant child, if you still hold this matter just a personal act, I advise you to cancel your plan as soon as possible." There was a rare inexplicable anger in the old man's mouth, "The surnames of Shandong are not just as simple as having Shangshu to support them. There are six great families in the world, living in temples, how can the huge power in them be imagined by you, a boy who has not been in the official career? “

"Shandong surnames? Shandong Province? Li Ping was surprised in his heart how there were so many families in Shandong, Fang remembered that there was no concept of Shandong Province at this time, and hurriedly asked, "East of Taihang Mountain?" ”

"!! east of Mt. Kun" The old man and Li Bai returned in unison, and Li Ping could clearly feel the illiterate gazes of the two of them on his face.

"To the east of Kunshan, there are five surnames in the world. Cui, Lu, Zheng, Li, and Wang, although they are five surnames, are divided into six families, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang. During the reign of Taizong, until the empress was in power, Daqin was in the world for nearly a hundred years, and nearly 20 people from the six major families had been prime ministers. It is not because they are prime ministers that they become the prime ministers, but because they are the six great families, they become prime ministers. Xue Yuanchao, who was known as Emperor Gaozong and Empress of the two dynasties, had three hatreds, one was that he failed to participate in the imperial examination to be a Jinshi and the first, the second was that he could not marry a woman with five surnames in Shandong, and the third was that he could not participate in the compilation of national history. Do you know who Xue Yuanchao's wife was at that time? That was the county lord of Hejing, the daughter of Li Yuanji, the king of the nest at that time. ”

"The prime minister who can marry the county lord still thinks that he can't marry people with five surnames and six families, you should know that Liuwang Xuanhe. Six families and five surnames are never as simple as you say. Now what do you think of the families behind the Nine Great Sects? Do you still want to wait for Shang Shu Zhishi? ”

The old man said that the two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that these great families had such terrifying power.

"Then the Wang family is only at the bottom of the five surnames?" I knew something about Wang Li Bai, but I didn't expect that Xuanhe of the Wang family was only ranked at the end of the five surnames. "Isn't there a saying that there are five surnames and seven families? Why did you only say six? Li Bai asked in surprise.

"Shut up." Hearing this, the old man reprimanded.

"The prime minister can't marry the daughters of the six families, so no one has married the daughters of the six families?" Li asked faintly, and the cell instantly quieted down. Li Bai used the remaining strength in his body to give Li Ping a blank look, this kid still cares about this at this moment......

Feeling the weird atmosphere, Li Pingxin said, I just want to know if this strong family is a close marriage......

The old man next door seemed to think of something, and there was a hint of silence, and when he spoke again, his voice revealed a trace of remembrance. It is hard to imagine a feeling of reverence that would arise in that kind of dignity.

"Back then, there was one person, only one person. Several big families, many women want to marry him......"
