When Gao Shilian said this.

The faces of many officials in the court were slightly shaken.

Obviously, he already knew in his heart that if what Gao Shilian said was true.

The fire that burned from Lu Heng's restaurant is only afraid that there is a great secret behind it.

However, the people of the family with five surnames and seven wangs obviously can't let Gao Shilian continue to talk about this aspect at this time.

After all, the contradiction between them and Lu Heng was well known to the entire court.

Gao Shilian's words once aroused suspicion in people's hearts.

Then they will definitely be the first to be suspected.

Cui Renshi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up at this time and asked Gao Shilian directly:

"Listening to Xu Guogong's words, is there a hidden story behind the fire in Chang'an City the night before?"

Gao Shilian turned his head to look at him and shook his head, "I haven't discovered the secret for the time being, but this matter is just a little strange." ”

Seeing Gao Shilian now, except for this silent yard dog.

There is indeed no evidence in his hand to prove that there is a hidden reason for the fire in the restaurant.

While Cui Renshi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he couldn't wait to attack Lu Heng again.

"In that case, then please ask Your Majesty to recall Lu Yuma from Qizhou as soon as possible."

"After all, because of the fire in the restaurant this time, so many shops in Dongshi have suffered losses."

"More than a dozen lives were also engulfed in this fire."

"In any case, Your Majesty should let Lu Yuma rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible and give an explanation to those people."

Li Er listened to Cui Renshi's words like this, and neither agreed nor refuted.

He didn't believe these people with five surnames and seven hopes, but now he wouldn't know that Lu Heng had returned to Chang'an City.

At this time, he would say this, just to let Li Er express his position.

After all, in the eyes of these people with five surnames and seven hopes, don't you Li Er like to 'favor' your son-in-law very much?

Then this time it's up to you how you can continue to be partial.

So many people in Chang'an City who have been affected by the disaster are watching.

Aren't you, Li Er, afraid of the leisurely mouth of the people in the world?

Looking at Li Er, who fell into silence, the officials of the family with five surnames and seven wangs standing above the court.

I couldn't help but feel proud from the bottom of my heart.

After all, logically speaking.

All this happened in Chang'an City during this time.

It's just a power war between Li Er, the entire emperor and their five surnames and seven hopes, these thousand-year-old families.

For such a war, these thousand-year-old families with five surnames and seven hopes have already accumulated enough and rich experience.

These experiences are enough for them to confidently continue to form a new balance with the imperial power represented by Li Er.

So no matter how eloquent the emperor is sitting on the throne.

In the end, they can only continue to choose to 'rule' the world with their thousand-year-old families.

Because the experience of the previous dynasties has proved the influence of these great families on the world.

But until Lu Heng appeared, all this was broken.

Lu Heng was like a peerless sword.

used his sharpness and recklessness to directly tear through the shell of these great families that had lasted for thousands of years.

And more than once pulled off their faces and put them on the ground and trampled on them.

And Li Er was helped by Lu Heng's divine weapon.

It is also a ruthless plan to completely liquidate their thousand-year-old families.

In such a dangerous situation.

The Xingyang Zheng clan was the first to stand up and try to break Lu Heng's sharp sword.

Unleash an assassination attempt to eliminate Lu Heng on a physical level.

However, alas, although he planned it carefully.

But in the end, he failed.

And the entire Xingyang Zheng clan was purged by Li Erda.

Not only were all the officials from the Zheng clan in Xingyang dismissed by Li Erqing.

Li Er was also very generous in bringing about the results of this battle.

A part was divided to paralyze the rest of the family.

But even if it is to get more results from Li second-hand.

The people of the family have also understood at this time.

These official positions were plucked from the Zheng family in Xingyang.

It's just an anesthetic that Li Er used to numb them before he did anything to them.

Therefore, these big families, although they all took advantage of this opportunity to gain a lot of power from the capital.

But as long as Lu Heng is still there for a day, the knife on their necks has not been taken away for a day.

It's just that with the failure of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the current major families also understand it.

It is very difficult to eliminate Lu Heng physically, and even if it succeeds, it is likely to cause Li Er's big counterattack.

So that they will pay the same huge price as the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Therefore, the strategy of the major families today is also very simple.

That is, it is necessary to first make Lu Heng's reputation stink among the people.

At the same time, try to block all the industries that Lu Heng has established.

Only in this way can Lu Heng be turned into a sword stained with dirt.

So that Li Er couldn't continue to use it in his hand.

And now, everything they want to achieve is close at hand.

Whether Li Er is willing or not, he blames Lu Heng for the fire in Chang'an.

Now anyway, the people in Chang'an City already think so.

And if Li Er wants to continue to defend Lu Heng.

Then wait to be scolded by the people under the sky.

However, just when the people of the family with five surnames and seven hopes were about to be happy.

Li Er suddenly said with a look on his face:

"It's no longer necessary to go to Qizhou to summon Lu Heng back to Chang'an."

"Because Yuzhang is going to have his birthday at the beginning of next month, this kid has quietly run back from Qizhou yesterday."

"I'm waiting outside the Imperial City now, since I've urged Shang Shu to mention it, then I'll call him over now and see what he has to say!"

With the messenger of the eunuch, he trotted out quickly.

Not long after, the handsome Lu Heng appeared above the court.

It's just that he didn't come empty-handed.

There was also a wooden box behind him, and I don't know what it contained.

When Li Er saw Lu Heng enter the hall, he also said directly:

"Lu Heng, it's just right that you're here."

"Just now Cui Shangshu said that he wants you to give an explanation to the people who were bad about the fire in Chang'an Dong City the night before."

"Say it yourself, how are you going to give this explanation?"

Lu Heng chuckled, walked through the ranks of courtiers, came to Li Er, bowed his hand and said:

"Confess? What should I give this to me? ”

"The fire in the East Market the night before not only burned down thousands of shops."

"There are still more than a dozen people killed in the fire."

"Even if my family has a big business, I will lose those shops that were burned down."

"But the more than ten lives that were burned to death, I, Lu Heng, have one life, what will I take to compensate others?"

When Cui Renshi heard Lu Heng's words, he put on a preachy posture and stood up and said to Lu Heng:

"The old man thinks that since you Lu Horse is already willing to take the responsibility for this fire."

"Then as long as the compensation is in place, the people in Dongshi who have received the disaster will not be able to blame you too much."

"As for those who died, Lu Juma might as well give their families some more pensions!"
