The head of the Li family in Longxi felt his heart pounding. He took back the chess pieces that were about to fall and stared at the family guard with narrowed eyes.
"What happened? Tell me every word, tell me quickly!"
Jiawei bows his hands.
"The head of the family, it's like this, Li Shimin, he...he found the food from who knows where, and he has already distributed it at the entrance of the imperial city."
"My subordinates have seen those grains, and they are plentiful! There are so many! Every time my subordinates think that is the limit, they can always take out more grains!!"
"It's like...it's like it's inexhaustible and inexhaustible!!"
"Based on speculation, I can confirm that the food is enough for all the victims, and the total amount is very likely to be more than the food stored by all the families!!"
As soon as these words came out, the huge bamboo forest fell into silence.
The sound can be heard when a needle drops.
The two aristocratic family heads, who originally looked confident, now frowned, extremely puzzled.
"Li Jiaerlang, where did the food come from? There is still such a huge amount of food."
"Could it be...could it be that some aristocratic family took out unknown grain reserves and donated them to Erlang Li!?"
The head of the Li family in Longxi narrowed his eyes slightly. If this matter is true, it is most likely the Fan Yang Lu family.
Fan Yanglu's family has become low-key since the change of family head a year ago. The outside disciples have no sense of existence. It is difficult for them to understand the affairs of the family. The whole family is covered with a mysterious veil. It is extremely mysterious.
.
In today's Lu family's main mansion, although it is the territory of the Lu family, its guards left early, and the mansion is filled with people from the other six families, which is very strange.
"Are you doubting the Fan Yang Lu family?!"
The head of the Li family in Zhaojun asked.
"That's right, otherwise Li Shimin wouldn't be able to produce food!!"
The head of the Li family in Longxi nodded.
"It won't be him, don't worry, I can guarantee it."
The head of the Li family in Zhao County has unquestionable trust in the Lu family.
The head of the Li family in Longxi glanced at him and hurriedly retracted, "Since it's not him, a thorough investigation is needed. I, and even the other heads of the family, need to know the whole story!!"
"Food can't fall from the sky, but as long as it appears, there will be clues. Check them all for me to find out who is working against us!!"
………………
Two quarters of an hour later.
Except for the head of the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family, the other five family heads are here.
"What are you talking about? This food was all done by the Li family?!"
The head of the Li family in Longxi was shocked and dumbfounded.
Regarding this unexpected situation, he could tolerate assistance from other aristocratic families, or assistance from outsiders, but he could not tolerate it being the Li family's own decision.
The family guard in charge of the notification knelt down and worshiped.
"Master, it's true!!"
"Many soldiers present witnessed it with their own eyes. Changsun Wuji explained it this way. As for who did it, he did not elaborate."
Is it confusing?!
As for the Li family, they have spent a lot of effort investigating, and even recently sent additional forces to monitor, but there has been no movement.
Plus,
If the Li family had this ability, they would not have allowed the drought to develop until now, and would have released grain half a month ago.
There is absolutely no way they could have done this!!
The heads of the families present were all human beings, and they instantly understood what Changsun Wuji was thinking.
"Hmph, what a confusion, I really don't believe it was done by his Li family!!"
The head of the Boling Cui family snorted coldly.
"Yes, it is most likely to confuse the public. The real origin should be hidden by Erlang of the Li family."
"Check this mastermind! Keep checking for me. Check where Li Shimin has been recently. Maybe the truth lies in these places!!"
"Yes!!"
Jiawei accepted the order and resigned immediately.
Next.
The head of the Cui family looked at another guard, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Do you have any clues about what you were asked to investigate? Where have those people gone?!"
It’s about the one hundred and thirty-two people who disappeared.
Jiawei handed over his hand: "Go back home, they are all back."
"One hundred and thirty-two people, according to what they said, most of them were knocked unconscious while on duty, and some were knocked unconscious after failing to fight the men in black. None of them died, and they were all sent back by the Jinwu Guards." The head of the Cui family narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sure enough, it was Erlang of the Li family who did it. He asked Jinwu Guard to send him back, haha... Is this a warning to us?"
The head of the Li family in Longxi stroked his beard and said, "I have to admit that the armed forces under Erlang Li's family are indeed powerful."
"But it's a pity that sometimes you don't have to rely on brute force to achieve everything. Really smart people can achieve everything quietly without using swords or guns."
"This time, we failed, but it was only a small failure. Since Erlang Li has decided to fight us to the end, we don't need to save him face next time!!"
…………
The entrance to the imperial city.
In various restaurants nearby, many children of aristocratic families are watching the development of the situation.
Most of them are people from Zhezi.
They also fully knew that the plan to force Li Shimin to compromise with food had failed, so they all mourned and drank to drown their sorrows.
And in one of the restaurants.
The head of the Fan Yang Lu family, who has disappeared for a long time, is also watching.
"Everyone affected by the disaster has food to eat, and the food is inexhaustible."
"Unexpectedly... this situation was resolved by Li Shimin like this."
The head of the Lu family is about ten years old and has a childish face. It is hard to believe that he is the head of the most famous family in the Tang Dynasty.
"No, or rather, it was resolved by the King of Chu, Li Kuan..."
