Li Qinzai found that his modern soul seemed to be merged with the soul of his predecessor.
When he gets into trouble, when he looks at it with the mindset of a playboy, nothing is a big deal. Anyway, I am a playboy, and a playboy should be domineering and unreasonable.
Burn down the Wang family’s ancestral home in Taiyuan?
Just burn it, God dares to poke a hole, burning a few houses is nothing!
The fire in Wang's ancestral house is getting bigger and bigger, thick smoke is billowing over the house, and countless clan members and literati are running away with their heads in their hands.
The Wang family general guarding the courtyard outside the door hesitated under the sword of Li Qianbu, and retreated step by step hesitantly.
Today is the fate of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the fate of the dandy from Chang'an should befall him.
Lawless and unscrupulous, Li Qinzai's smile became even brighter against the backdrop of firelight and thick smoke.
Wang Ning slumped beside the door, staring dreamily at the fire in his ancestral home, feeling increasingly desperate.
A thousand-year-old foundation was destroyed in one day. He was the sinner of the Wang family.
Many scholars and scholars ran out of the door, including an old man in his fifties.
The old man's clothes were in rags, and his half-white beard was burned sparsely, making him look extremely miserable.
The old man escaped from the door and left Wang Ning paralyzed on the ground. He raised his eyes and looked at Li Qinzai who was riding a horse in the distance. He couldn't help but get angry and strode towards Li Qinzai. He ignored the swords of the Li family and just walked away.
Go to Li Qinzai.
"Shu Zi, you are so brave! What kind of evil beast are you? You dare to set fire to the Wang family's ancestral home. Even if you are sued to the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City, I will swear to bring you to justice!"
Li Qinzai did not dismount and glanced at him coldly: "Who are you?"
"I am Niu Fangzhi!"
Li Qinzai cupped his hands and said, "...I don't know you! Stand aside."
Niu Fangzhi was furious: "My father, Niu Hong, the former Duke of the Sui Dynasty, was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was given the title of Duke of Qizhang. He wrote "Five Rites" and established elegant music. All the rituals and music in the world came from my father's hand, and so did I.
The distinguished guest of the Wang family in Taiyuan is well known to all scholars in the world, how dare you be so disrespectful!"
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched.
Although he didn't quite understand the list of names, Li Qinzai vaguely noticed that the old man in front of him seemed to have a good background. He should be a great scholar of the time who was hired by the Wang family in Taiyuan.
He felt a little embarrassed, but Li Qinzai still maintained an indifferent expression and said: "Are you going to argue with me, or are you going to rely on your experience to teach me a lesson?"
Niu Fangzhi said angrily: "You set fire to the Wang family's ancestral home for no reason, why can't I teach you a lesson?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "'For no reason'? I was so full that I came all the way from Chang'an to burn the Wang family's ancestral home? Why doesn't this old man ask the head of the Wang family what he did to me and why I
He would come all the way here and set fire to it.”
Niu Fangzhi turned to look at Wang Ning with confusion in his eyes. It was obvious that the old man did not know about the plot to assassinate Li Qinzai.
"Wang Ning, what's going on? What's the grudge between you and this Shuzi?" Niu Fangzhi asked in a deep voice.
Wang Ning turned her face away, her eyes evasive.
Li Qinzai sneered: "The prince of a well-known family has done something shameful, how can he have the nerve to say it? This old gentleman, I advise you to stay out of your own business. I am not afraid of being reasonable or unreasonable. If you want to go to Chang'an to sue me, just go
.”
As the fire spread, the Wang family members did not dare to take action against Li Qinzai, but they still carried buckets of water and put out the fire in a panic.
Niu Fangzhi looked at Wang Ning and then at Li Qinzai, and suddenly realized that there must be cause and effect. And judging from Wang Ning's guilty conscience, he was afraid that the Wang family was wrong first.
So Niu Fangzhi stamped his feet and said angrily: "Wang Ning, if you don't explain again, don't blame me for abandoning you. I will live a pure life and will never associate with filthy and immoral people!"
Li Qinzai looked at Wang Ning with a sneer. Wang Ning lowered his head and sighed, and hesitated several times. However, under Li Qinzai's sarcastic eyes, Wang Ning could not say a word.
With thousands of years of cultural heritage and upbringing from an aristocratic family, Wang Ning still has a bottom line. Good is good and evil is evil. No matter how he whitewashes it, it is impossible to confuse the audience in front of Niu Fangzhi, a great scholar.
Looking at Wang Ning's expression, Niu Fangzhi understood.
Stomping his feet angrily, Niu Fangzhi rolled up his sleeves and said: "From today on, I will sever all ties with your Taiyuan Wang family. From the eleventh year of Zhenguan to the present, I have taught hundreds of Wang family's children, and I no longer owe you the Wang family!"
Li Qinzai smiled. This old man had a bad temper, but he was quite upright. At least he could distinguish between good and evil, right from wrong.
Just when he praised him quietly in his heart, Niu Fangzhi turned around and glared at Li Qinzai again, saying angrily: "You are not a good person! You openly set fires for evil, and you defy the court's laws by relying on your status as a distinguished noble. Your parents worked hard to defeat him."
Our country has been ruined by you dandies!"
Li Qinzai immediately retracted his previous evaluation of him.
This old man has such a hot temper that he must have damaged his liver and kidneys for a long time. He won't live long if he doesn't take more arsenic.
Niu Fangzhi glanced at the blazing fire in the Wang family's ancestral house behind him with a complicated expression, then waved his sleeves fiercely and said, "I'm going!"
After saying that, Niu Fangzhi picked up his feet and left without any regrets.
Niu Fangzhi was originally followed by a group of aggressive and fearless Confucian students. Seeing that he left immediately, the remaining Confucian students immediately hesitated.
Many Wang family members retreated quietly, silently looking for containers to put out the fire. Some students with foreign surnames were dejected. Some quietly followed Niu Fangzhi away, while others hesitated for a long time, still undecided.
Wang Ning became more and more desperate. He knew that from today on, the Wang family in Qi County was completely in decline.
The reason for the decline was not only the burning of the ancestral home, but also the betrayal of people's hearts.
The real heritage of the family is the cultural school. With the departure of Niu Fangzhi, the Wang family lineage in Qixian County has been cut off. It is impossible to hire other great scholars because all the great scholars cherish feathers. The reputation of the Wang family has been ruined. Who knows?
Will you be willing to accept the invitation from the Wang family?
When Wang Liwu was deposed, the Wang family in Qixian County suffered a heavy blow because the king and queen were implicated. Now that the ancestral home has been burned and the great scholar Niu Fangzhi has left, what is left of the Wang family?
Li Qinzai stared at Wang Ning's absent-minded face and said coldly: "Today I will not kill any of your Wang family members. I will only burn down your Wang family's ancestral home. In comparison, I am already very kind."
"As I said before, if the Wang family wants revenge, feel free to come here, but be prepared to be repaid by me. Next time you provoke me, I will kill someone."
After taking a look at the fire in the ancestral house, the panicked tribesmen fighting the fire, and the wailing women and children beating the ground, Li Qinzai waved his hand and said: "Send the order to withdraw the troops and return to Chang'an."
…………
Outside Qingzhou City, there is a villa belonging to the Cui family.
The open space outside the courtyard was full of people. Cui Jie stood on the steps of the door with a frosty face and a cold expression, slowly looking around at everyone.
There are about hundreds of farmers outside the door, and they are all young and strong farmers under the name of the Cui family near Qingzhou City.
Standing in front of them was the daughter of the head of the Cui family.
Last night, Cui Jie suddenly returned to Qingzhou, and then issued an order in the name of the eldest lady of the Cui family, ordering all the young and strong farmers under the name of the Cui family near Qingzhou to assemble.
In a hurry, hundreds of young men quickly arrived outside this courtyard.
Cui Jie stared at everyone with cold eyes for a long time, and then said slowly: "I am Cui Jie, the daughter of Cui Linqian, the head of the Cui family of this generation. I have summoned you today to do one thing."
The dealers clasped their fists and bowed: "Please give me your instructions, Miss."
Cui Jie said word by word: "Follow me back to the ancestral home of the Cui family. Today I will clean the lintel of the door on behalf of my father and see what is happening!"
The bankers looked at her blankly, not knowing what she meant by her words.
Cui Jie continued: "There is a traitor around my father who wants to kill my husband-in-law. The incident happened in my Cui family. I must give an explanation to my husband-in-law. Otherwise, how will I see him in the future? You are all the masters of my Cui family.
I am a loyal and upright person, please help me!"
The bankers saluted without hesitation: "I am willing to listen to the eldest lady's orders."
The Cui family in Qingzhou has been a family for thousands of years. The Cui family originated from the surname Jiang and was a descendant of Jiang Ziya from the Zhou Dynasty. They changed their surname to Cui because the fiefdom was Cui Yi.
Like all aristocratic families, the Cui family has a profound heritage and has bankers and generals who are loyal to the main family.
After Cui Jie returned to Qingzhou, the first thing she did was not to return to her ancestral home. Instead, she settled in another courtyard and summoned bankers loyal to the Cui family late at night. This shows that Cui Jie was still very smart at critical moments.
She can be a gentle and lovely young lady, or she can be a majestic and decisive descendant of a noble family.
Seeing that the farmers of the Cui family responded to the order, Cui Jie's eyes showed satisfaction, she looked up at the sky and said: "It's getting late, let's set off immediately for the Cui family's ancestral home!"
