Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 187 After the Silence
For two quarters of an hour, there was a lot of noise in front of the hall, Wei Zheng's loud scolding, Cui Hao's sophistry, Cui Xin's questioning...there was no time to stop.

Li Shan came out, his two simple sentences seemed to be far from the topic, but the scene changed in an instant, everyone stopped talking, whispered to each other, or gestured back and forth with their eyes.

Cui Xin, who witnessed all this, could not help but look at Li Shan with admiration. Although he knew that the boy in front of him was an unusual character, he did not expect to see things so quickly. .

Qinghe ordered Cui Qian to look at Cui Xin, then turned his head to look at Cui Hao, and then stepped forward to whisper a few words to Li Shan.

Sure enough!

There was a cold smile on the corner of Li Shan's mouth, a trivial matter in everyone's eyes, but it turned into the current situation, the main reason was that Qinghe Cui was too greedy and refused to spit out the fat in his stomach.

But Qinghe's Cui family has been able to hide it until now, and Cui Hao tortured Fang Silang, so it is impossible for Qinghe's order Cui Qian to be hidden in the millet.

Why did things explode?

It wasn't because Wei Zheng returned from Jizhou and found that the Cui family of Qinghe didn't keep his promise... Wei Zheng was an envoy ordered by the saint to visit Shandong, so it was impossible for him to pay attention to Fang Silang for a long time.

But in fact, the family property was robbed, and the wife was first robbed and then forced to commit suicide... This incident has already spread in Beizhou, Xingzhou, and Jizhou, but Li Shan has been in Qinghe County, the headquarters of the Cui family these days, No one mentioned it.

At the beginning, there was no trouble, but as the news spread that Fang Silang was arrested and imprisoned, the surrounding area including Beizhou was quite commotion.

Hundreds of bandits robbed houses in Zhangnan County, and more than a thousand bandits started an uprising at the junction of Jizhou and Xingzhou, targeting Fang Silang's name.

The doubts lingering in Li Shan's mind were completely resolved. It wasn't that Cui Shi Qinghe was not afraid of causing trouble, but that trouble had already occurred.

That's why the elders of the Cui clan were shocked when they heard that Li Daoxuan was going west to Luozhou.

This is also the reason why Li Daoxuan, Li Shan and his party were wandering outside the city when they were suddenly approached by a small official from the county government.

Li Shan had such a guess in his heart, so he used Li Daoxuan as an excuse to test... Sure enough, something went wrong.

Li Daoxuan, Marshal Li Daoxuan of the Hebei Road Army who led the army to pacify Shandong and captured and killed the King of Han Dong, was here. A small disturbance is insignificant... This is the confidence of some people in the Qinghe Cui family.

Wei Zheng walked over with a sullen face, and said in a low voice: "I was tortured for a long time in prison, but until today, there are rebels around Jingcheng, and a certain person hurried south, and his confession has been tampered with...there was no charge against the leader of the rebel army before. "

Li Shan chuckled, he really looked up to Cui Hao and the others, they never thought of bypassing Wei Zheng at all, it's just that they just added a few strokes because they caused trouble now.

From this point of view, Qinghe Cui obviously refused to let go of her airs.

Glancing at Wei Zheng, Li Shan knew that this guy didn't care about the matter itself, but he had to intervene because of the deep influence.

But obviously, Wei Zheng can't play a big role in the face of such a behemoth as the Cui family of Qinghe, and a family with deep roots and entangled relationships.

The sharp eyes seemed a little dazzling, Wei Zheng lowered his head unconsciously.

Li Shan's thoughts turned sharply, and what he was thinking about in his mind was not the messy things in front of him... It wasn't that he was indifferent to the lump of flesh and blood on the ground like everyone else, but that he had already made up his mind.

Who is it that sent the little official out of the city to look for Li Daoxuan?
Is it Cui Hao?

Is it Qinghe Order Cui Qian?
It's possible, but it's more likely to be Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng knows how much influence I have on Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang, and Qinghe Cui's move... is also a slap in the face for me, Li Shan.

Wei Zheng was thinking about how to solve this matter?
Still thinking about misfortune?

If civil unrest really breaks out, the first unlucky person must be Wei Zheng who is patrolling Shandong... Unlike Cui Hao, he has no powerful background behind him, otherwise he would not have served Li Mi and Dou Jiande successively.

After being silent for a while, Li Shan turned sideways slightly, and looked at Wei Zheng squarely, "Seizing a man's property, robbing his wife, and murdering him, what crime is this?"

Cui Hao sneered and said, "That woman obviously committed suicide by hanging herself!"

"The bandit attached to the Fang family is the leader of the rebel army. Tian Ji should be confiscated and brought into the county." An old bearded clansman raised his head, "Who are you, a yellow-mouthed kid? How dare you speak nonsense!"

Li Shan looked straight at Wei Zheng as if he didn't hear, "Brother Xuan Cheng doesn't know?"

Wei Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, "It's about beheading."

Li Shan nodded slightly, "Such serious crimes need to be reported to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for approval. If it causes civil unrest during wartime, can we execute it first and then play it?"

"can."

The clan elders on the side jumped up and shouted: "What is Cui's crime in this matter?!"

"Fang's family is attached to a bandit, with all witnesses and confessions, causing civil unrest, Fang Shilang's head should be beheaded!"

"The rebellion in Jingcheng is under the banner of this bandit!"

Another younger clan elder said with a smile: "Xuan Cheng, Fang Silang is the leader of the rebel army. He was imprisoned and tortured, and his wife hanged herself. How can there be such a thing as murder?"

"This is Qinghe County, do you want to hunt and kill members of the Cui clan without proof?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness is unparalleled in virtue..."

"Hey Hey……"

The cold laughter interrupted the compliments or threats of the elders of the Cui clan, Li Shan secretly gritted his teeth, and said sharply: "No evidence, no certificate?"

"What someone said is the proof!"

There was silence in front of the hall, Cui Hao, Cui Qian and others swallowed their saliva, and Cui Xin's expression was complicated and unspeakable... Obviously, the young man who might become his son-in-law has a vigor and sharpness that others can't match.

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 a long silence.

Li Shan is not afraid of talking nonsense...but there are so many people on the other side, and they are unreasonable!
More importantly, there is no need to talk about it!
What kind of words will only appear weak and powerless in front of the sword.

How many kings in history have used various means to suppress the clan, but isn't it ultimately the uncontrolled absolute force that disintegrates the clan?
Li Shan looked around and his eyes fell on Cui Xin.

"Qinghe Cui family, a thousand-year-old family, has deep roots and lush leaves, and there are also dead leaves and rotten branches."

"Today, someone will get rid of it for you!"

This time, not only the members of the Cui clan, but even Wei Zheng were dumbfounded... Are you Li Huairen crazy?

It's just a verbal confrontation, do you really want to use swords and guns?

Before everyone could speak, Li Shan suddenly turned around and shouted, "Where is Su Dingfang?"

Whenever Li Shan is called so, he must have a heavy responsibility, which was the case when he broke through the Guantao county government that day.

Su Dingfang, who had a knife across his waist, stepped inside, bowing to obey orders.

"A hundred riders, the whole village, no one can get away!"

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.

"How dare you!"

"Li Huairen, are you crazy?!"

Facing the scolding that came like a storm, Li Shan smiled contemptuously, his eyes swept across the hall like lightning.

Yes, in front of me there is already the big rock of the Pei family in the east of the river, and the Cui family in Qinghe, it seems to have blocked all the light in front of me.

But in life, there are things to do and things not to do.
