The assassins who were chasing Shangguan and his son were withdrawn. This is not a lie, but the truth.
It was not because of the conscience of the eight prominent families, but because the public opinion in the court was boiling. Countless courtiers were involved in impeaching the eight prominent families for treason. At the same time, more than a hundred members of the Li family escorted Shangguan and his son all the way. It was not easy to kill him.
The combination of various reasons forced the eight prominent families to withdraw their pursuit of Shangguan and his son.
Now that Li Qinzai has raised the issue of assassins, the heads of prominent families can respond confidently.
Upon hearing that the assassins had been withdrawn, the Shangguan brothers and sisters immediately showed joy.
Li Qinzai blinked and said with a smile: "Really withdrawn?"
The old man from a distinguished family nodded vigorously: "I really withdrew it."
Li Qinzai smiled and sighed: "This is very good. I guess Shangguan and his son will die in this life, right?"
The old man from a distinguished family hesitated.
Li Qinzai was not asking casually, but asking for a promise from the eight prominent families.
It's not as simple as just withdrawing the assassins, but asking the family heads to ensure that they will never assassinate Shangguan and his son in the future. How can they live without being constantly on guard against being assassinated?
The heads of the distinguished families looked at each other in silence.
After Shangguan Tingzhi Shangshu pierced the window covering the landowners in Jiangnan to occupy fertile land, the hatred of Jiangnan's noble families towards Shangguan and his son had reached its peak, and they vowed to get rid of the father and son.
Now that Li Qinzai has brought this matter to the table, it is actually starting another form of negotiation, and Li Qinzai holds the same bargaining chip as Li Zhi, which is the trouble that the eight prominent families are facing now, especially the "rebel" one.
hat.
If the matter between Shangguan and his son is not resolved, Li Qinzai's mood will not get better. His bad mood will make the mood of the eight famous families even worse, and the troubles faced by the famous families will always exist.
Now the eight prominent families have found out Li Qinzai's personality and status, and they know that Li Qinzai has the ability to make troubles for the famous families difficult to overcome.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, the old man from a distinguished family immediately said: "Yes, Shangguan and his son look like they are blessed with longevity. I think they will live a long life."
Li Qinzai looked at the Shangguan brothers and sisters with emotion and said, "Did you hear that? Your grandfather and father will live a long life. If you don't work hard, you may not be able to survive your father."
The Shangguan brothers and sisters were listening to their husband chatting with the heads of distinguished families in the hall. In the invisible exchanges, Shangguan Kun'er seemed to understand something, so he took the initiative to bow to the heads of distinguished families.
"Thank you all elders for your blessing and longevity for our ancestors."
These words were a bit heart-wrenching, and seemed to be a bit sarcastic. The family heads forced a smile while stroking their beards, but their faces looked a little ugly.
Li Qinzai glanced at Kun'er appreciatively. The little bastard had indeed matured a lot after going through family changes, and his speech became somewhat humane.
The heads of the family pinched their noses and endured it, and just pretended to be childish. What else could they do? What kind of situation are they in now? Do they dare to fall out?
The atmosphere in the hall was already a bit cold. After the family owners realized that it would not be easy to come to apologize today, they became suspicious, and the fine wine and food in front of them became less attractive.
Li Qinzai looked around and suddenly said displeasedly: "The banquet is going on, how can we stop drinking? Everyone, drink and win!"
As he spoke, he drank the cup in one gulp.
The heads of the house also had a drink with smiles.
Li Qinzai handed a chicken leg to each of the Shangguan brothers and sisters beside him, and said with a gentle expression: "Tell me what you want to eat. Look at you, you are getting thinner and thinner. You brothers and sisters were so cheerful and innocent at the beginning, but now you are frowning.
Exhibition, like half a lifetime, there is nowhere to look like a child..."
The heads of the family felt their hearts sinking and looked at Li Qinzai in surprise.
They now understand that this young Duke Li has a methodical approach to his words and actions, and any words spoken in the hall at this moment must have his purpose.
So, what kind of monster is he trying to do?
Under everyone's surprised eyes, Li Qinzai turned out to be a monster.
I saw him suddenly hugging Shangguan Kun'er, hugging her tightly in his arms, and burst into tears without emotion.
"Poor baby, three generations of the family were obviously happy, but misfortune fell from the sky. My grandfather and father were inexplicably banished thousands of miles away. The road to Qiongnan is far away, and life and death are unpredictable. The next time the three generations of grandparents will meet again, I don't know what year or month it will be...
…”
"My poor Kun'er Wan'er! She has lost her grandfather and father since then, and has become an orphan that no one wants. She can only live in the husband's house, and has suffered all the sufferings in the world at a young age... How unkind is the world, how sad, Shang Xi
!”
The Shangguan siblings were overwhelmed by their husband's sudden acting skills, but Shangguan Kun'er quickly came to her senses and hugged Li Qinzai, grinning and bursting into tears.
Shangguan Wan'er's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. When she saw Uncle Li and her brother holding each other's arms and crying, she, who was originally simple and sentimental, couldn't help crying anymore.
The difference was that both Li Qinzai and Shangguan Kun'er were acting, but Shangguan Wan'er, the youngest, cried sincerely and without any pretense.
The faces of all the house owners present turned green.
Who the hell are you playing here?
Is there anything you can't say out loud without hesitation? Do you have to act it out before you speak human words?
The leader, an old man from a distinguished family, finally got some meaning from Li Qinzai's superb acting lines.
The old man sighed secretly and understood.
This Duke Li still has demands, which means that the negotiation is not over yet.
Silently, he scolded the eighteen generations of Li Qinzai's ancestors in turn. Then the old man put on a smile and said, "Don't worry, Lord Li. God is so good at life, how could he inflict bad luck on two young children..."
Li Qinzai, who was crying bitterly, hurriedly patted Shangguan Kun'er's back and choked with sobs: "Hurry up and salute, I just gave your grandfather and father a blessing and longevity, and now they have used a blessing spell. This is a great favor, and you should be thanked."
Shangguan Kun'er turned around neatly, bowed, and bowed down, all in one smooth movement.
"Thank you, elder, for showing kindness to the Shangguan family again."
The old man's expression was stagnant, he stroked his beard for a long time and was speechless.
God’s special blessing technique, am I a blessing?
Sighing, the old man looked at Li Qinzai and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, just tell me what you have to say. I will never refuse if I can do it."
Li Qinzai's mouth dropped, and he suddenly hugged Shangguan Kun'er again and cried loudly: "My poor baby..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man couldn't help being filled with anger. He stood up and said angrily: "Okay, okay! Take away your magical powers!"
"Tomorrow, eight of the most prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River will jointly submit a petition to the emperor, asking Shangguan and his son to be forgiven for their sin of being exiled, and that they be reinstated to their posts. Are you satisfied that the father and son will return to the capital?"
Li Qinzai's crying stopped, and when he raised his head, there was a smile on his lips. He cried so loudly just now, but his eyes didn't even turn red.
"Kun'er, Wan'er." Li Qinzai said calmly.
"Yes." The brother and sister responded in a low voice.
Staring at the old man and the other seven family heads, Li Qinzai said calmly: "Thank you all elders."
Shangguan Wan'er was young and ignorant, and had no idea what kind of fierce confrontation had just occurred.
But Shangguan Kun'er understood, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
Just now, Mr., with his own efforts, forced eight prominent families to compromise, so that my grandfather and father, who were originally supposed to be exiled to Qiongnan for three to five years, returned to the capital.
The Shangguan family, which has been torn apart, will soon be restored to its original appearance and reunited with the efforts of Mr.
Shangguan Kun'er didn't say a word and knelt on the ground. However, the first person he worshiped was not the head of a prominent family, but Li Qinzai.
After bowing respectfully to Li Qinzai, Shangguan Kuner choked with sobs and said, "Thank you...sir for your kindness!"
After patting the back of his head, Li Qinzai smiled and cursed: "You bastard, you worshiped the wrong person. Please turn around and worship again."
