Chapter 364: The Real Killer Move
Three days later, Li Hao's mansion.
"Young master, the Li clan in Longxi asks to see you!" Wan'er walked in briskly through the door.
Li Hao's tight brows stretched instantly, and he threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
"How about Miss Li, this king's guess is still accurate? It seems that this chess game will not be able to be played today, so let's go out and meet the guests first! ”
Li Ziyin smiled bitterly and didn't say much, and stood up straight, only Wan'er looked at the chessboard where Li Hao was killed, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
If you want to calculate people's hearts, Li Hao thinks that he is not inferior to anyone in the world, but in terms of chess power, Li Ziyin can beat him five by one.
On the way to the main hall, Li Hao hesitated again and again, but finally said, "Miss Li, do you remember our agreement that day?" ”
Li Ziyin didn't look back at him, her face was calm and a little scary.
"Don't worry! You and Your Majesty have been planning for so long, Ziyin will not interfere, this time I will not care about the affairs of the Li family in Longxi! ”
After getting Li Ziyin's answer, Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the situation is going according to Li Hao's plan, but Li Ziyin is a variable. With her talent, if she really takes pity on the Li family and goes back, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no variables.
In the hall, several existing leaders of the Li family gathered here, and Li Ziyin's mother Li Yuxiang was also among them.
"The sun is coming out in the west, how can you come to my house as guests?"
Li Hao's tone was full of ridicule, and he walked into the hall with Li Ziyin.
When several members of the Li family heard this, their faces became a little more embarrassed, and they hurriedly saluted Li Hao.
"Everyone of the Li family, meet the prince of Zhen'an!"
Li Hao didn't go straight through everyone and sat on the main seat.
"No need to be polite, there is something to say! We don't have a very good relationship either! ”
Li Yuxiang stood up with a smiling face.
"Where is the prince, the previous incident was just a misunderstanding, I hope that the prince will ignore the villain and forgive me for being disrespectful!"
Li Hao was noncommittal, staring at everyone, as if urging them to get down to business.
The embarrassment on Li Yuxiang's face became even heavier, and she gritted her teeth: "Lord Wang, we came here this time with a cheeky face to invite Ziyin back!" ”
"Mrs. Li, do you know what the cheeky words mean? Just because you want to take revenge on this king, your whole family abandoned Miss Li, and now you still have the face to ask her back, is it not bad enough to dislike her? ”
"No, no, no, lord, you misunderstood! Now that the old lady is in prison, the Li family in Longxi has no leader! Ziyin is the most capable person in the Li family, and I am waiting to invite her back because I want to help her sit on the position of the head of the family! ”
Li Ziyin didn't say a word from beginning to end, she just kept following Li Hao's side, and when she heard her mother's words at this moment, she couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that as Li Hao said, something happened to the Li family?
Li Hao smiled: "When you put Miss Li under house arrest, wasn't the Li family in Longxi also good?" Now that there is one less Li Yuanmou, why does she have to do it? ”
"We realized our mistake and wanted to ask her back." Li Yuxiang forced a laugh and said.
"Woman, we are all foxes from the year before last, so don't talk nonsense with me, okay? If you still don't have a word of truth in your mouth, then don't say more, please! ”
Li Yuxiang and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect Li Hao to guess the situation to this point.
In the end, she sighed: "The prince is resourceful and can't hide anything from you." Well, I'll be honest! The Li family in Longxi is already in danger! ”
Although he had been prepared in his heart, when he really heard this, Li Hao was still a little surprised.
The five surnames and seven hopes have stood in Datang for a hundred years, and they are behind the background and temperament. Even if it is Li Hao, without Li Shimin, the emperor, as a backer, it is not easy to solve them. What's more, the Li family in Longxi is the head of the five surnames and seven hopes!
Even if they knew that the people on the Chang'an side were going to deal with the Li family, it was still difficult to guess what means they used!
Although Li Ziyin's face did not change, she was more nervous than Li Hao, so she asked in a deep voice: "What happened!" ”
Li Yuxiang wanted to cry without tears, and sighed: "When we were against the prince, Li Tai colluded with outsiders and dropped the batch of supplies we supplied to General Cui. ”
"Li Tai?"
Li Hao muttered the name, remembering the person who was slapped by himself in the Li family's mansion that day.
Li Yuxiang continued: "That batch of materials is a military supply to the Flying Dragon Army, worth 100,000 taels, and there was no problem when the materials were sent out of the Li Mansion, but in the hands of the Flying Dragon Army, they became inferior. Now the Wyvern Army is asking us for an explanation! ”
"Just 100,000 taels, it's nothing to your Li family, right?"
"If it's just 100,000 taels of silver, it's really nothing, but this time the amount of materials is huge, and the Li family has breached the contract and has to compensate ten times the deposit. One million pieces of silver have already broken the Li family! ”
Li Ziyin sighed: "If it's just a matter of money, you won't panic like this, what happened!" ”
Li Yuxiang applied for bluntness, but after all, he still said the truth of the matter.
"The batch of supplies we originally sent to the Flying Dragon Army, somehow, suddenly appeared in the hands of the Khitans! Now that the East Window incident has happened, His Majesty the Emperor thinks that our Li clan in Longxi is colluding with foreign countries and intends to rebel! ”
"What!" This time, not only Li Ziyin, but even Li Hao stood up in surprise.
Li Hao knew that the people on the other side of Chang'an would never let go of the fat of the Li family in Longxi so easily, but he couldn't imagine that they would do things so desperately and collude with foreign countries, this is to force the Li family to death!
"That monster wants to get me to Longxi, damn, Lao Tzu was used by them!" Li Hao secretly cursed in his heart.
When it comes to the crime of treason, Li Ziyin's original firm determination also began to waver at this moment, her hands trembled slightly, as if she wanted to go back to the Li family immediately to preside over the overall situation. After all, everything she has done since she was a child is to hope that the Li family can continue.
Li Hao saw her thoughts and hurriedly dodged in front of her.
"I deeply sympathize with what happened to your Li family! But none of this has anything to do with Miss Li Ziyin. Three days ago, when I rescued her from the ancestral hall, she had already agreed to seek a job with Li Jiazhuang, the king of the association! With such a talent, this king will not let her go easily, please go back! ”
As soon as Li Yuxiang heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Lord Wang, Ziyin is my daughter, now that the Li family is in trouble, how can she abandon it!" You don't have the right to decide for her and let her speak! ”
Li Hao snorted coldly: "When the Li family was in trouble, did you remember that she was your daughter?" Why didn't you say it in the ancestral hall that day? I remember the person who poured the first bucket of water into that jar, it seems to be you! ”
Li Yuxiang was speechless, and could only look at his daughter, hoping that she would change her mind.
Li Ziyin bit her lip tightly, she didn't sympathize with her mother and relatives, but the entire Li family suffered a catastrophe, and she really couldn't abandon it. But she also promised Li Hao that no matter what, she couldn't help the Li family this time.
Li Hao turned his head to look at Li Ziyin and whispered, "Believe me, I will arrange everything properly!" ”
"Alas!" The clenched fist finally let go.
Li Ziyin turned around and didn't look at the Li family: "When you give up on me, Li Ziyin has nothing to do with the Li family, please go back!" ”
"Li Ziyin, are you really so ruthless!" Li Yuxiang's face was full of despair, and he yelled at Li Ziyin.
