For two quarters of an hour, there was a lot of noise in front of the hall, with Wei Zheng shouting loudly, Cui Hao quibbling, Cui Xin asking... there was no time to stop.
Li Shan came out of the queue. His two simple sentences seemed to be far off topic, but the scene changed in an instant. Everyone stopped talking, or whispered to each other, or used their eyes to indicate back and forth.
Cui Xin, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but look at Li Shan with admiration. Although he knew that the young man in front of him was an unusual character, he didn't expect to see things so quickly. He directly attacked the Chinese army from the chaotic situation and grasped the most critical point.
.
Qinghe ordered Cui Qian to look at Cui Xin, then turned to look at Cui Hao, then took a few steps forward and whispered a few words to Li Shan.
Sure enough!
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Li Shan's mouth. A small incident in the eyes of everyone turned into the current situation. The main reason was that Cui of Qinghe was too greedy and refused to spit out the fat he had swallowed.
But the Cui family of Qinghe has been able to hide it until now, and Cui Hao tortured Fang Silang, so it is impossible for Cui Qian of Qinghe to be hidden in the millet.
Why did things blow up?
It was not because Wei Zheng returned from Jizhou and found that the Cui family in Qinghe had not kept his promise... Wei Zheng was an envoy who inspected Shandong on the order of the saint, and it was impossible to pay attention to Fang Silang for a long time.
But in fact, the family property was taken away, and his wife was first kidnapped and then forced to commit suicide... This incident has been spread in Beizhou, Xingzhou, and Jizhou, but Li Shan has been in Qinghe County, Cui's base camp these days,
No one talks about it.
There was no trouble at first, but as the news spread that Fang Shilang was arrested, imprisoned, and beaten, there was already quite a commotion in the surrounding areas, including Beizhou.
Hundreds of thieves raided homes in Zhangnan County, and more than a thousand bandits broke out at the junction of Jizhou and Xingzhou, targeting Fang Silang's name.
The doubts swirling in Li Shan's mind were completely solved. It was not that Cui of Qinghe was not afraid of causing trouble, but that trouble had already occurred.
This is why the Cui clan was shocked when they heard that Li Daoxuan was going west to Luozhou.
This is also the reason why Li Daoxuan, Li Shan and their group were wandering outside the city when suddenly the county officials came to see them.
Li Shan had such a guess in his heart, so he used Li Daoxuan as an excuse to test... Sure enough, something had happened.
Li Daoxuan, the marching marshal of Hebei Province who led his army to pacify Shandong and captured the King of Han Dong, is here. A small disturbance is insignificant... This is the confidence of some people from the Cui family in Qinghe.
Wei Zheng walked over with a sullen face and whispered: "I was imprisoned and tortured for a long time, but until today, there are rebels in and out of Jingcheng. A certain person went south in a hurry, and his confession has been tampered with... There was no charge of the rebel leader before.
"
Li Shan chuckled lightly. He really looked down upon Cui Hao and others. They had never thought of bypassing Wei Zheng at all. They only made a few extra moves now that they had caused trouble.
From this point of view, it is clear that Ms. Cui of Qinghe is unwilling to let go of her arrogance.
Glancing at Wei Zheng, Li Shan knew that this guy didn't care about the matter itself, but he had no choice but to intervene because of the profound impact.
But obviously, facing a behemoth like the Cui family of Qinghe, facing a family with deep roots and intricate relationships, Wei Zheng could not play a big role.
The sharp eyes seemed a bit dazzling, and Wei Zheng lowered his head unconsciously.
Li Shan's mind was racing, and what he was thinking about was not the nonsense before him... It wasn't that he was indifferent to the mass of flesh and blood on the ground like others, but that he had already made up his mind.
Who was it that asked the clerk to go out of the city to look for Li Daoxuan?
Is it Cui Hao?
Is it Cui Qian, the commander of Qinghe?
It's possible, but it's more likely to be Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng knows how much influence I have on Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, and what Cui of Qinghe did was... also a slap in the face for me, Li Shan.
Wei Zheng was thinking about how to solve this matter?
Or do you want to divert trouble to the east?
If civil unrest really breaks out, the first unlucky person will definitely be Wei Zheng who is patrolling Shandong... Unlike Cui Hao, he has no powerful family behind him, otherwise he would not have served Li Mi and Dou Jiande successively.
After being silent for a while, Li Shan turned slightly and looked directly at Wei Zheng, "What is the crime of seizing a person's property, kidnapping his wife, and killing someone to silence him?"
Cui Hao sneered: "That woman obviously committed suicide by hanging from a beam!"
"The Fang family is a traitor and is the leader of the rebels. The land should be confiscated and turned over to the county." An old clan member raised his beard and said, "Who are you, a yellow-tongued brat? How dare you speak such nonsense!"
Li Shan seemed not to have heard anything and looked directly at Wei Zheng, "Brother Xuancheng doesn't know?"
Wei Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, "Let's talk about execution."
Li Shan nodded slightly, "Such serious crimes need to be reported to Dali Temple for approval by the Ministry of Punishment. If it causes civil unrest during war, can we be executed first and then reported?"
"Can."
The clan elders on the side stood up and yelled: "What crime does Cui have in this matter?!"
"The Fang family is attached to thieves, and all witnesses and testimonies are available. If it causes civil unrest, Fang Silang should be beheaded!"
"The rebels in Jingcheng started an uprising, and they used this bandit banner!"
Another younger clan elder smiled and said: "Xuancheng, Fang Silang is the leader of the rebels. He has been tortured in prison, and his wife hanged herself from a beam. How can you say that he killed someone and silenced him?"
"This is Qinghe County. Are you going to hunt down the Cui clan members without any evidence?"
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unparalleled in benevolence..."
"Hehe, hehe..."
The cold laughter interrupted the Cui clan elder's flattery or threats. Li Shan secretly gritted his silver teeth and said sternly: "No evidence or certificate?"
"What I said is the proof!"
There was silence in front of the hall. Cui Hao, Cui Qian and others swallowed their saliva. The expression on Cui Xin's face was complicated and unspeakable... Obviously, the young man who could become his son-in-law has a spirit and sharpness that is unmatched by others.
Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and other children from poor families had faint smiles on their faces, and they were not surprised that Li Shan made such a choice after being silent for a long time.
Li Shan is not afraid of talking nonsense...but there are many people on the other side, and they are unreasonable!
More importantly, there is no need to talk!
All words will appear weak and weak in front of the sword.
Many kings in history have used various means to suppress clans, but isn't it ultimately the loss of control of absolute force that dismantles clans?
Li Shan looked around and his eyes fell on Cui Xin.
"The Cui family of Qinghe is a famous family for thousands of years. It has deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and there are also dead leaves and branches."
"Today, I will eliminate you and others!"
This time not only the Cui clan members, but also Wei Zheng were stunned... Are you Li Huairen crazy?
It's just a verbal exchange, do you really want to use a knife or a gun?
Before anyone could speak, Li Shan suddenly turned around and shouted: "Where is Su Dingfang?"
Whenever Li Shan is called like this, he must have a heavy responsibility, which was the case when he attacked Guantao County Yamen that day.
Su Dingfang stepped inside with a sword across his waist and bowed to obey the order.
"Call a hundred riders, no one in the village can escape!"
Su Dingfang responded loudly without hesitation, turned around and left.
Cui Hao, Cui Qian and the two clan elders all looked at Li Daoxuan, but the Huaiyang King had no expression on his face, obviously not intending to get involved.
"What a courage!"
"Li Huairen, are you crazy?!"
Facing the scoldings that came like a storm, Li Shan smiled contemptuously, and his eyes swept across the hall like lightning.
Yes, I already have the big stone of Hedong Pei in front of me, and together with Qinghe Cui, it seems to have blocked all the light in front of me.
But as a human being, there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do.
