As Li Hu left, everyone else in the hall also exited. Before leaving, the Heba family slave sneered and placed the document recording the personnel and property left by He Basheng on the case in front of Li Tai.
In the end, only Li Tai was left in the hall, while a dozen of Li Hu's soldiers were guarding the hall with knives.
Are you under house arrest?
To be honest, Li Taizhen didn't really understand the logic of these Beizhen warriors' actions, or he couldn't figure out why Li Hu treated him like this.
You have a good relationship with He Boyue, you love and care for his sons as your own nephews, and you look down on yourself, that's fine. But the problem is, you don't need your own hall? I may have to stay here for many days!
If Li Hu had drawn a knife on him, or even threatened him with beatings, Li Tai might have relented. A good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. He will only fool him for the moment before talking about other things. But the way he handles it now is not soft or hard.
, which made it very embarrassing.
Sitting around was boring, so Li Tai walked to the door of the hall and said to the soldiers guarding the hall: "The Duke of Longxi is very kind to stay here as a guest, so it would be disrespectful for me to resign. But the slave staying here is too disturbing to the master. Please tell me, please let me know."
Let them go home first."
Li Hu's soldiers naturally didn't have a good look towards him. After hearing this, they just snorted and didn't respond, but they still sent one person inside to report to Li Hu.
"As he said, let's go!"
Li Hu was dining in the inner hall. After hearing this, his face suddenly darkened, but he still waved his hand and gave instructions.
He looked at the slave of the Heba family again, frowned and said: "If your master only wants the inheritance of the Grand Master, then Li Boshan doesn't seem to be a greedy person. We can meet and discuss it, why should I come forward?"
Intimidating and making things difficult?"
"This son is humble on the outside, but arrogant on the inside. Earlier, he relied on himself to deceive the grand master, and he lost respect for the two men. Now that the grand master is gone, he will inevitably become even more arrogant and difficult to control. The Duke of Longxi has already come forward, and he
There are so many excuses, and the two Alangs really don’t have a good plan to control them."
When the slave of the Heba family heard this question, he quickly lowered his head and said.
After Li Hu heard this, he was a little unhappy and snorted coldly: "In the past, the old master made all the powerful people, and no one dared to disobey him. Now, although he has lost his power, he still makes his disciples arrogant and untamable. It is really
What a joke! The Grand Master was careless in accepting guests, which caused trouble for his successors. Since he knew it would be difficult to control, why didn't he come and report it in advance?"
"The two gentlemen, who originally intended to be kind to others, could not ignore the feelings of the Grand Master and delay it till now. However, they did not expect that this man used his clever words and seduction to steal many old friendships under the guise of the Grand Master's shadow, and cunningly became friendly with many of the Grand Master's old acquaintances.
The two gentlemen are in mourning now, and it is inconvenient to come forward for many things. I am afraid that this son will use the Taishi's remaining power to show off outside, and see the evil world. I have no choice but to ask the Duke of Longxi to suppress this son's arrogance..."
The slave of the Heba clan smiled again and explained in a low voice.
"The legacy of the old family will be inherited by the heir. But this new guest from Dongzhou has already stolen so many favors and favors not long after he came here. Then the two of them have to review themselves. Why are they being bullied like this? Is it because of the old relationship?
None of them can be trusted? How many years have they been extinct among my sect?"
When Li Hu heard this, he felt quite angry. He and the Heba family, especially Heba Yue, did have a deep friendship with each other. So when the two brothers sent people to ask for help, he agreed without thinking.
But he did have a lot of resentment against the two brothers in his heart, just because the two brothers were very poor in interpersonal communication. They were usually distant and refused to get close. At one time, Li Hu felt that they were weak and could not protect them.
, so I am too lazy to maintain friendship.
He had lived in Gyeonggi for a long time and didn't know much about Bafu's personnel. After agreeing to the matter, he initially thought it wasn't a big problem. But after talking to Li Tai for a while, he also felt that this guy was a bit troublesome.
What he said was that Li Hu was not qualified to arbitrate this matter between business and love, which made Li Hu speechless. Because this is indeed true. After all, this is a family matter of He Basheng, and he and He Basheng have not been in contact for a long time.
, I am indeed not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on this from a sentimental perspective.
But now that he has agreed, he can't retreat into silence just because of this sentence, and besides, this kid may not be worthy of careful reasoning.
Such a trivial matter is not worth alarming Daxingtai. The reason why Li Hu detained this boy was not because he was targeting Li Tai. If this boy is willing to bow his head and submit, that would be the best.
If you don't want to, then wait until He Basheng's old relatives come forward. Li Hu also takes this opportunity to ask those people if they still recognize the old friendship between the He Ba family? Do you still recognize the He Ba Jing?
Grand Master’s heir?
If these people blindly favor Li Tai, he will naturally seek justice for He Bateyue's two sons. If they can still care about the old friendship, it will naturally be handed over to them for arbitration, and Li Hu will no longer have to worry about it.
With this thought in his mind, Li Hu asked his servant to send some food to Li Tai.
Although they only met for a short time, this boy's attitude of not being afraid of force and arguing with reason left a deep impression on him, and at the same time he felt secretly regretful.
Although he said that He Basheng was careless in accepting customers, Li Hu also secretly felt that the new employee He Basheng had recruited was indeed good.
If the two sons could get along with them harmoniously, they would be a help. But it's a pity that they are not as talented as they are and cannot control it. The person who was supposed to be a help turned out to be a hidden danger that would occupy the magpie's nest.
Li Hu was naturally not afraid of getting grudges with Li Tai, but felt sorry for He Ba Jing.
There will always be a day when the old friends in North Town become estranged from each other. Even if their brothers no longer imagine that they can achieve anything great, it would be beneficial to have some human support and help each other. However, after this incident, they may not be able to get along with each other in harmony.
Although he stood up for the Heba brothers, there was no need to offend them completely. He could only maintain the necessary hospitality supply and use him to lure a few people who were qualified to talk to him.
The news that Li Tai was detained by Li Hu quickly spread back to the Cui family. Cui Qian, Lu Rou, who stayed at home, and Cui Fan, who had just returned, held a brief discussion and immediately sent a message to Li Hu's house to ask for an audience.
They were important staff members of He Basheng when he was in Jingzhou, and they were also members of one of the few aristocratic families in Guanxi. However, when the name invitations were handed in, nothing happened, and Li Hu did not receive them. Apparently he felt that they were related to Li Tai.
relationship is insufficient to arbitrate the matter.
"Li Wenbin is so arrogant and contemptuous, I'm afraid things will not go well."
Cui Quan stood outside the door of Li Hu's residence. After thinking for a while, he said: "I will stay here and wait. If there is a real crisis, I will not care about internal and external defenses and break down the door to save people first. But this is a bad idea. Brother, you
I went to visit a few acquaintances in the capital. In the past year, the people in the town have destroyed many famous families. I ask for moral help. We must not let this trend spread again in Kansai!"
Cui Qian nodded after hearing this. There was no deep grudge against each other, but Li Hu detained Li Tai in the house and refused to accept their request. This was undoubtedly a slight or even a trampling on the dignity and personal safety of the famous clan.
Cui Fan looked at Lu Rou again and said: "Apan has been here for more than a year and is no longer a new guest. He has also made some achievements in Guanxi. Zigang, you go to Huazhou immediately and choose someone who is kind to you to say goodbye to your illness."
.If no strong support comes forward, then report it directly to Daxingtai!"
"I'm going to leave now. Cousin, you should be more careful when you stay here. You must save Apan's life!"
Lu Rou nodded, and immediately took the official documents given by Cui Quan and left the city to the east with Li Taizhong's trusted entourage.
Li Tai didn't know that his cousins had already worked separately to rescue him outside. When he saw Li Hu's servants bringing food and drinks, he felt lighter. After the meal, he even chatted with Li Hu's soldiers who were guarding the door.
Ask Li Hu about his family situation, how old Li Shimin’s grandfather is, etc.
The soldiers ignored him, and Li Tai didn't bother to make trouble for himself anymore. He simply picked up the list of He Basheng's inheritance calculated by the He Basheng brothers and browsed it.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt happy. He didn't know whether the brothers really thought that their uncle was a rich man, or because they invited Li Hu to blackmail them. All the figures recorded above were exaggerated, let alone Li Hu.
Too bad, even if the treasury of the Western Wei Dynasty was plundered, they might not have so many assets!
Li Tai had never thought about overpowering He Basheng and not returning He Basheng's inheritance, but the main people He Basheng left with him were the subordinates, and there was not much floating wealth. The only property that was relatively impressive was the manor in Baishui.
It is the investment capital for official document printing.
It is impossible to return the personnel Li Tai, not to mention that he is still in urgent need. Even if these people fall into the hands of the Heba brothers, they will not be treated well and utilized.
Since he was not the only one involved in the manor on Baishui, Li Tai thought of buying out the manor with a sum of money and then paying a portion of the dividends year by year.
After all, He Basheng's legacy should indeed be inherited by his heirs, and Li Tai didn't want to have too much trouble with He Basheng's brothers over this. First of all, it would hurt his own reputation, and secondly, it would also betray He Basheng's long-term care.
.
But now these two guys have made it clear that the lion has opened its mouth, which makes Li Tai a little unhappy. He beckons for pen and ink paper and writes down his inheritance return plan: He Basheng's soldiers will be led by himself, and the Whitewater Manor will also be led by him.
He managed it on his behalf and gave their brothers 10,000 pieces of silk before the end of this year, and then paid 2,000 pieces of silk year by year until the death of Heba Jing.
This plan is extremely generous. The life of Gao Aocao, who is famous all over the world, is only worth 10,000 bolts of silk in the Western Wei Dynasty. Li Tai will give one Gao Aocao this year first, and another Gao Aocao in five years.
At the very least, if He Basheng's personnel legacy is placed in the hands of their brothers, they will never be able to reap such benefits.
Li Taiken gave this condition mainly because of He Basheng's face. He Basheng had really helped him a lot in the past year. Especially during the period after his death, Li Tai felt particularly deeply.
.
He Ba Jing is always He Basheng's only heir. Li Tai doesn't want to see He Basheng's family become degenerate. If He Ba Jing still doesn't know how to behave, and I won't take care of him, the worst he can do is find more children with Lady Miaoyin in the coming year.
A son, who succeeded He Basheng as a famous prince!
