is also the Li Mansion, but the Li Hou Mansion in Jinling City is more majestic and majestic than Li Xiuyuan's house in Guobei County.

The white marble dismounted stone pillar in front of the door, standing on both sides of the house is like a team of majestic guards, the stone lions standing on it are one by one with their teeth and claws, their eyes are open and angry, and they are violent, as if they are going to come to life.

It's just that the stone lion in front of the yamen is still much inferior to the stone lion here.

"Before dismounting, the military generals have to get off their horses and walk, no wonder Li Liangjin will chant out, and the general will listen to the horse in front of the door, this poem is indeed in response to the situation. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Le Ma in front of the door, this is a special honor of the imperial court, and it was brought by the ancestor of the Li family who was named a marquis.

In addition, there is also a handle in front of the gate of this Li Mansion.

Each of them was tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing armor, holding swords and guns, and was murderous, just like the ancient tiger warriors, which were completely different from ordinary guards.

Li Xiuyuan knows that as a prince's mansion, he is qualified to support family soldiers, that is, private soldiers, the number of which ranges from tens to hundreds, although the number is regulated, but how much you can really raise depends on the emperor's attitude towards you, if the emperor trusts you, it is not a problem to raise five hundred private soldiers. If the emperor is suspicious of you, even raising fifty private soldiers will also cause taboos.

And at present, this Jinling City is also regarded as a mountain high and the emperor is far away, and now the world is chaotic.

This private soldier of the Hou Mansion, Li Xiuyuan felt that there were at least hundreds.

Because there are three teams of armor soldiers on patrol alone, and one team of armor soldiers has ten people.

"This Hou Mansion is not ordinary. ”

Wu Fei touched his bald head and muttered, the arrogance on his face had subsided a lot.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Naturally not ordinary, the Hou Mansion that has been passed down for at least two hundred years has already become a local family, majestic and magnificent, otherwise how dare Li Liangjin be so arrogant, and even the Wenqu Star in the sky is not in his eyes? ”

Speaking of this, he also felt a little emotional.

This can become a prince without doing anything, and I don't know how many times stronger this treatment than myself, a saint in the world.

After he was born, he only brought a cheap master to the door, and he had to rely on himself for everything else, and he would be eaten by demons and monsters if he was not careful.

As for the family's money, it has been accumulated by several generations of business, and the reputation in Guobei County is also exchanged for several generations of good deeds and virtues, but if it is said that the power is really pitiful, it is really pitiful, and a single Liu County Commander wants to occupy his own family property and pick the fruits of the Li family.

"Who are you? Do you have a prayer post? If you don't have a prayer post, then please go back, not everyone in front of the Li Mansion receives it." When a housekeeper at the door saw Li Xiuyuan and the others coming here, he stopped them and spoke.

Wu Fei said angrily: "You gatekeeper, we haven't opened our mouths yet, are you driving people away? ”

The housekeeper glanced at it: "Where did you come from, the wicked man dared to spread wild in front of the Hou Mansion, you don't want your life, don't you, I just mention it for the sake of your son-in-law that he is a scholar, if it were other idle people, he would have been stopped and blasted out by the armor." ”

After speaking, he snorted heavily, looking very contemptuous.

"Lao Tzu doesn't want to talk nonsense with you old dog, tell that Li Liangjin to get out, my young master is here to collect the accounts, this guy owes my young master 30,000 miles of silver and ran away, and now he is hiding inside and doesn't dare to show his face, you quickly call that Li Liangjin out." Wu Fei shouted angrily, looking arrogant.

In ancient times, the creditor was an uncle, and generally speaking, if you came to ask for money, you should not only be politely entertained, but also accompanied by good words, for fear of evil.

It's not as good as the future, it's the uncle who owes the money, maybe he will come back to the last sentence, why should he pay back the money he owes by his ability, he can vomit blood from his popularity.

Although the housekeeper in front of the Hou Mansion was arrogant, when he saw that these people were here to collect the accounts, his momentum immediately softened, and he said: "This is impossible, how can my young master owe you 30,000 taels of silver?"

"This is Li Liangjin's matter, and it has nothing to do with you, so hurry up and inform him, saying that we are going to pay a debt. ”

Wu Fei grinned, feeling a lot happier in his heart all of a sudden.

"You wait first, I'll go and tell you. The butler gritted his teeth and hurriedly turned around and went back to the house.

Li Xiuyuan said at this moment: "Under Li Xiuyuan, it will be clear to say my name Li Liangjin." ”

Soon, the butler hurriedly disappeared into the Hou Mansion without looking back.

Like this kind of princely mansion, what he cares about most is reputation, if someone knows that the Hou Mansion owes money and does not pay it back, I am afraid that it will be spread in Jinling City in a few days.

At this moment, within the Li Mansion.

In a study.

Li Liangjin's face was very ugly at the moment, he held the brush in one hand, and wanted to write a few big characters on the snow-white rice paper in front of him, but he found that although he was holding the brush in his hand, he always felt that the posture of holding the pen was wrong.

is barely put to paper, but the words written are twisted and pinched, like a dog crawling.

"Damn. ”

Li Liangjin was furious, threw the brush in his hand and tore the rice paper in front of him to shreds.

He had to admit that he couldn't hold a pen or write anymore.

"That damn Wenqu Xing, he really took away my ink pen, so I can't write, my style, my pen and ink...... Without literary talent, how can I gain a foothold in front of others in the future?" Li Liangjin has been in a particularly bad mood these days.

Except that anger is anger.

What he hates most is not that Li Xiuyuan, but Wen Quxing and Hu Hei.

This time, if it wasn't for helping that Hu Hei, how could he have such a thing, and Hu Hei has been instigating him to kill Li Xiuyuan in the past few days.

Although he Li Liangjin has lost his literary talent, his brain is still there, Li Xiuyuan, a martial artist, is a martial artist of a grandmaster, and it is possible to send five hundred private soldiers in the mansion to surround and kill him, and this person is holding the book of life and death, if he crosses out the life span of everyone in the Hou Mansion in a fit of anger, wouldn't it be all to Li Xiuyuan to be buried?

Li Liangjin will not do this kind of risky thing.

And what good is it to kill Li Xiuyuan? Nothing.

He is just a talent, and he can't affect his future succession to the position of prince, even the imperial examination, and he also needs to take the examination for three or five years to see some results, and he doesn't dare to go against his Li Mansion.

On the contrary, if you fight to the death with each other, you will suffer a loss.

His own life is much more precious than Li Xiuyuan's.

"Li Gongzi, don't you believe it, your literary talent is gone, you won't even be able to write in the future, all of this is Li Xiuyuan's harm, he has now come to Jinling City, this Jinling City is your Li family's territory, if you find a reason to let him go to prison here, and kill him in prison, wouldn't it be easy? If he doesn't die, you will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Suddenly, Hu Hei's voice sounded in the study again, but I saw a fox as big as a black dog lying on the beam and spitting out.

Li Liangjin's face sank and said, "How do you know that Li Xiuyuan has come to Jinling City?"

"I saw it outside, he came to ask you for a debt, and the housekeeper of your house has now informed your father of the matter, and I believe that you will be summoned for questioning soon. Hu Hei said.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, a subordinate voice sounded outside the study: "Young master, the master summoned you to the lobby." ”

"I see, you go down. Li Liangjin believed Hu Hei's words at this time, he calmed down the anger in his heart, and then walked out of the study.

"Hu Hei, this son is all for your fox clan, if it weren't for your fox clan to fight for some green mountain territory, this son will not fall to the point of losing his literary talent, what this son did can be regarded as worthy of your two fox girls, there is a summer resort five miles outside the city, you and your fox clan go there to settle down, there is nothing to do in the future to come to the Hou Mansion, my father does not like the mansion of demons. ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

The black fox on the beam stood up, with a bit of thought in his eyes: "It seems that I was in too much of a hurry, which made him bored with the fox spirit." ”

When Li Liangjin came to the lobby of the Hou Mansion, Hou Ye Li was already sitting there waiting for him.

"Father~!" Li Liangjin saluted.

The old marquis of the Li Mansion is a middle-aged man over forty years old, with a majestic and deep appearance, and a kind of momentum that is difficult to be strict, which shows that he is not the kind of person who eats and waits for death, and is mediocre and incompetent.

"Coming?" The old marquis put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the housekeeper said that you owe a Xiucai named Li Xiuyuan 30,000 taels of silver outside, but is there such a thing?"

Li Liangjin felt a pang in his heart, although he had this matter, but thinking that Li Xiuyuan did not have an IOU in his hand, if he refused to admit it, he could escape this account, but when he thought of the book of life and death in Li Xiuyuan's hand, he didn't dare to say this.

"Yes, father, but there is such a thing, the child and that Li Xiuyuan Wendou, lost, lost 30,000 taels of silver. He lowered his head and said with a little trepidation.

The old marquis snorted heavily: "Something that has no interest, I don't have much ability, and my tone is very big, and I dare to gamble with 30,000 taels of silver." ”

Li Liangjin did not dare to talk.

The old marquis said again, "Butler, go, take the title deed of the house in the east of the city and the title deed of the barren mountain outside the city to that Xiucai, and tell him that these two land deeds are worth 30,000 taels to him." ”

"Sir, there are many houses in the east of the city, I don't know which one to take?" asked the butler.

The old marquis glanced at it: "The haunted murderous mansion." ”

"Yes, the old slave knows what to do. The butler replied.
