Chapter 393: Meeting with Li's Sect Master

The time has gradually reached the third watch, and Longxi City is completely dark, with spring rain pouring down, rain and fog filling the air, and the entire city is shrouded in a gray mist.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared like a ghost at the corner of the west wall of the Prefecture's Mansion. It clung to the wall for a moment, floated up, climbed over the wall and entered the Prefecture's Mansion. No one in the Prefecture's Mansion noticed it at all.

There was still a little light in the prefect's mansion, and the light came from the study. The prefect Liu Fangyang was not asleep yet. It was not that he didn't want to sleep, but that he couldn't sleep. Wang Junlin controlled 30,000 troops from Longxi County, putting him in a passive situation where he was beaten.

, although Li Zongxian, the head of the Li family in Longxi, repeatedly promised not to worry, he still felt a little uneasy, especially the mysterious disappearance of a family named Tang Sanbi, which made this uneasiness much worse.

Liu Fangyang sighed, concentrating on thinking and trying to find a countermeasure. At this moment, Liu Fangyang suddenly felt that the light in the room suddenly dimmed. If he felt something, he turned around suddenly and found a man in black standing behind him.

.

Liu Fangyang was shocked. He stood up and opened his mouth to call someone, but in the flash of lightning, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes. A knife as thin as a cicada's wing was already placed on his neck, and an indifferent voice spoke to him.

There was a sound in my ears: "Don't make a sound! Otherwise I will cut your throat."

Liu Fangyang felt the chill in his throat. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His face turned pale. He did not dare to move at all, let alone make a cry. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said: "If this strong man wants money,

…”

There was a muffled sound, and before Liu Fangyang could finish his words, the man in black had already pinched his mouth, fed a pill into his mouth, and then tapped his belly gently, and Liu Fangyang swallowed the pill.

Liu Fangyang looked horrified: "You...what did you give me to eat..."

Before he could finish speaking, his body began to tremble, his limbs twitched, and foam came out of the corner of his mouth.

The man in black chuckled, gently placed Liu Fangyang on the ground, and thought to himself: "It's nothing if poison can kill people, but after Mr. Hou takes this pill, he looks like someone with epilepsy. That's how powerful it is!"

"

With emotion in his heart, the man in black floated away.

The man in black is none other than Shen Guang, who has already mastered Qinggong.

After a while, Liu Fangyang's wife came in and urged the former to rest. When she came in and took a look, she heard a scream...

The Prefect's Mansion suddenly fell into panic. A famous doctor in Longxi City was invited over by a servant of the Prefect's Mansion overnight...

Early the next morning, news came from the Prefecture that the Prefect Liu Fangyang suddenly suffered from a hidden illness and suffered from epilepsy. He could not speak or move. All the doctors in Longxi County had seen it and were helpless to do anything about it.

Under this situation, Liu Fangyang was naturally unable to manage the government. According to the official system of the Sui Dynasty, the county prime minister Zhou Wen temporarily took over the post of prefect, took charge of the political affairs of Longxi County, and reported Liu Fangyang's affairs to the state government and the imperial court.





General Ying Yanglang of Longxi County Yuan Feng was forcefully arrested by Wang Junlin, and the prefect Liu Fangyang fell ill for no apparent reason. At this point, the military and political power of Longxi County was in the hands of Wang Junlin. As the head of the Li family in Longxi, Li Zongxian finally couldn't sit still.

They talked secretly with Li Zongfeng for three hours. After Li Zongxian had a fierce dispute with his sister for the first time, the two finally agreed. Then Li Zongxian led a group of famous scholars and a group of expert guards to leave the Li family's ancestral home angrily and came to Longxi City.





In the Longxi County Yamen, Wang Junlin and Zhou Wen met Li Zongxian, the head of the Li family of this generation.

Li Zongxian's face was ugly, with bruises all over his white face, and blood vessels could be faintly seen in the temples of his forehead, covering his forehead like strips of earthworms, as if he was ready to bleed to death anytime and anywhere.

Wang Junlin could tell at a glance that this old gentleman might have a problem such as coronary hypertension, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Originally, he only wanted to use his power to suppress others, but now it seems that he can no longer stimulate him, otherwise Li

The head of the family died in front of him, which caused a violent backlash among the Li family in Longxi. All the major families shared the same hatred, and even Yang Jian had to kill him to quell public anger.

After all, the status of the heads of various aristocratic families is extremely noble. They all played a great role when Yang Jian stole the kingdoms of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty. Not to mention that the lowest rank of the noble family is a county prince. Even if he does not hold a high position, the lowest rank of an official is the second rank.

Of course, the main reason is that the power, manpower, material resources, and financial resources they control are too strong, and none of them is weaker than some small surrounding countries.

Calculated in this way, Wang Junlin is a junior and a lower official. Although he has the title of imperial minister, Wang Junlin will never be foolish enough to put on airs in front of the head of a thousand-year-old family.

So Wang Junlin said nothing, and first apologized to Li Zongxian, with a gentle tone and a sincere attitude, as if he didn't want to be an enemy of your Li family, but various coincidences and the emperor's instructions forced him to do so.

Li Zongxian originally thought that Wang Junlin would negotiate terms with him very forcefully and even humiliate him. After all, there was a lot of hatred between the two parties. However, he did not expect Wang Junlin to be so humble and polite. While he was greatly surprised, he naturally accepted the offer as soon as he saw it.

With the tacit cooperation between the elder and the younger, Li Zongxian finally calmed down, and the blood vessels on his forehead receded at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. At least there were no signs of explosion for now, and Wang Junlin was relieved.

After asking Zhou Wen to step aside, Wang Junlin began to talk secretly with Li Zongxian. Wang Junlin was in a hurry and without any nonsense, he directly presented all the evidence in his hands that pointed to Li's rebellion.

From the Li family secretly controlling Yongzhou's grain and spreading rumors that almost caused chaos in the three northern counties of Yongzhou, to the sudden attack on Wushan County by Tieqianzhai, which was closely related to the Li family, there were confessions from the nobles and big landowners, as well as iron

The confessions of Guo Tiejian, the leader of the gun village, and Ma Lixiong, the big boss, as well as Du Fengcai, the captain of Wushan County, as well as a series of other doubts and evidence pointing to the Li family, were all presented. Li Zongxian's face became more and more ugly, and his expression became more and more ugly.

It gets more and more exciting, sometimes red and sometimes white, cloudy or sunny, I don’t know what I’m thinking of.

Wang Junlin stared at his face without blinking, and his guess suddenly became more and more certain in his heart. The Li family definitely has a back-up plan. This back-up plan may be in the court or among the people, such as the Dragon Palace. Of course, it may also be possible.

It's other aspects.

Or if the Li family took the initiative to go to the emperor to hand over the power of a certain place, perhaps the transfer of some important positions in the court, like the Yu family offered 800 acres of salt fields to make a deal with Yang Jian last year, I think Yang Jian would probably agree.

.After all, forcing a thousand-year-old family to rebel is no small matter.
