Chapter 167: Admit defeat
"What, King Ji really said that"
In Wei Qu's ancestral house, Wei Renji and several clan elders were all there, including Wei Ting. Hearing Wei Siyan finish Li Shen's request, Wei Ting stood up first
"It's so deceitful. This is blackmail. ”
"Five thousand acres of tea plantations. He doesn't know how long it will take to grow? ”
It was unacceptable for everyone to vent and express themselves.
"Alright. What's the use of saying that. He had Wei Yuanquan's confession in his hand, which must contain many people. If the confession is published in the newspaper, the whole world will know about our evil deeds. Your Majesty can't even if you don't want to bump into us, the world is watching. "Wei Renji is still very calm. First of all, the pros and cons were analyzed.
"I think King Ji is just bluffing. Even if he had a confession, he would not dare to publish it in the newspaper, and then the world would be in chaos. We, the family of scholars, are not easy to mess with. A clan elder said
"I think what he said is true, he must have a confession in his hand, but he doesn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he wants to blackmail something from us. But I just don't know if he dares to send it out. Wei Ting felt that Li Shen should not tell lies
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little nephew is soft-spoken, but I also want to say something. We can't afford to gamble, although the little nephew doesn't know what Wei Yuanquan's confession is about.
But the little nephew knows one thing, although King Ji is young, he is bold. I heard that he dared to bribe the emperor, and openly sent money to Wang De in front of the emperor. Not to mention scolding the ministers in the court, you say that he still has something he doesn't dare to do. Wei Siyan felt that he should give Li Shen a little help.
Everyone was silent after listening to Wei Siyan's words. Oh, yes! This King Ji is young and bold, and he dares to do anything to disembowel, what else does he dare not do.
If King Ji really writes the matter in the newspaper, and then publishes Wei Yuanquan's confession, then the family will really be in trouble.
Li Shimin will also punish the participants desperately for the sake of royal face, and all the princes and nobles will also approve. The nobles will stand on the opposite side of righteousness, and everyone will shout and fight.
"Don't think about it so much. Go and have them inform the families and tell them what King Ji asks. It's not our family's business, and I can't carry it as a family. Wei Renji immediately decided
On the second day, the scholars and families involved in this matter gathered in the old house of Weiqu. Among the five surnames, no one came except for the Li family in Longxi. The rest came, Zhaojun Li's, Boling Cui's, Qinghe Cui's, Fanyang Lu's, Xingyang's Zheng's, and Taiyuan's Wang's.
Close the eight families: Langya Wang's, Chenjun Xie's, Hongnong Yang's, Lanling Xiao's,
Jingzhao: Only the Wei family participated.
The Du family did not participate in it.
Which of these families was not famous during this period.
"I really didn't expect a little prince to let us be so passive." It was a clan elder of the Zheng clan who spoke.
They originally thought that this time it would be a safe thing to deal with a King Ji with only fifty guards, and it would not be a piece of cake to dispatch thousands of people. As a result, I didn't expect that not only did I not succeed, but I was also caught in braids.
"What's the solution, what is important for us now is to know whether Wei Yuanquan has confessed or not." Choi In-ji got the point
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it is very likely that King Ji has already obtained a confession before he will send Wei Yuanquan to prison. Wei Yuan disappeared for four days.
After that, he was silently sent to the Criminal Department, and we guessed that Wei Yuanquan was arrested by King Ji. If the judgment is correct, it should be that he used these four days to interrogate Wei Yuanquan. Secretary Zheng Jingsi analyzed the situation.
Lu Chengqing, as the head of the household, knew a lot, and also agreed with Zheng Jingsi's words: "What Gong Zheng said is right, if King Ji dares to blackmail us, he must have something to rely on in his hands.
Now it's up to everyone what they mean, whether they ignore it or break the bank. Fifteen shops and 10,000 acres of fertile land are really nothing to us.
It's just that we have to make it clear to King Ji in advance, only this once, if we use this excuse to blackmail us in the future, then we will be dead. Since he chose to blackmail us, it means that he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. ”
"Yes, I guess Your Majesty must know about this matter, but this time it involves so many of our families. He couldn't help it.
If we come hard, we won't sit still, and he is also afraid that there will be turmoil in all parts of Datang. Cui Renzhi felt that what Lu Chengqing said made sense
"Even so, we have to be prepared. Your Majesty will not let this matter go through easily. There will definitely be some people who will be implicated. It depends on how many people are involved. "Wei Ting knows a little more than all of them.
"In that case, your Wei family will talk to King Ji as a representative, and we will agree to his conditions. But also to the front of the ugly story.
At this point, if we threaten this matter in the future, we will be killed. It would be better if he was willing to work with us. "Yang Liheng, the elder of the Hongnong Yang clan, has not spoken, and they just cooperated with the assassination and sent some Deadpool.
There are no upper-level figures involved, and this time he agreed to do so, just to settle the matter and avoid disasters.
Wei Renji didn't really want to be a representative, but this time someone in their family actually participated and was arrested. And they are more or less related to King Ji.
I could only agree and said, "Okay, but I don't think it's possible to cooperate." Now we and King Ji have torn their faces.
I heard that King Ji has an elite escort of 100 people in his hand, but now no one knows where it is except His Majesty. Even their former comrades don't know exactly who was selected.
So it's better for you to be careful, this King Ji can do everything. "Wei Renji is actually most worried about this. He was most afraid that Li Shen would also engage in assassination and retaliate against the people on the list.
With so many people in the family, it is impossible to prevent it, and it is likely to cause a situation where everyone is in danger.
Everyone was also somewhat worried after hearing this, and at this time, the patriarch of the Li clan of Zhao County stood up
"Hmph, I said I couldn't do anything about it, but you didn't listen. Originally, we in Zhaojun Li should not have participated.
Although His Majesty was born in the Li family of Longxi, Longxi, Gaozu is from our Zhao County. Now His Majesty's hatred should be our Zhaojun Li family.
You see why the Li clan in Longxi didn't participate, and their losses were not small, they were really fascinated by your ghosts.
The patriarch said that Zhao Jun would not participate in the action against the royal family in the future, so you should do it yourself.
Our patriarch will personally enter the palace to talk to His Majesty about this matter, do you really think that this time it will be over without pursuing it?
When did King Ji's child have revenge? That's all I have to say, and I will say goodbye below. Speaking of the old station of the Li clan
"Everybody, I have a piece of news for you, the King of the River once said a drunken remark when he was drinking with the old man. King Ji's heart is black and sinister, and there is a knife hidden in his smile, and Cheng Zhijie often says that it is too insidious to play with this child in the future. Be careful, everybody. Farewell"
The Li clan of Zhao Jun left, and the rest of the people also fell into deep thought when they heard the last words of the Li clan. They had no doubts about that.
After all, it came from the mouth of King Hejian and Cheng Jin, but everyone couldn't figure out where Li Shen was insidious.
Then the people of the various families also left, and this time they confessed.
There is no way, I am willing to gamble and lose. If Li Shen was successfully killed this time, even if the emperor knew that it was them who had no evidence, he would have some scruples.
But this time Li Shen didn't die, and he also caught Wei Yuanquan. Then the game is that they lose.
