Turbulent Times Chapter 395: Who is the scapegoat

The Li family in Longxi is flourishing and has been passed down for thousands of years. Their clansmen spread all over the Sui Dynasty. , The responsibility is too heavy, and it wears down the energy.

Injustice is injustice, but there is no place to complain about this injustice. Even though Li Zongxian used all kinds of secret deals to let the officials of the court speak for them, Li Zongxian couldn't argue with the matter before the emperor. It doesn't make sense to say it, because Wang Junlin has evidence of their Li family's rebellion, but their Li family has no way to prove that they are pro-white.

It doesn't make sense to reason, even if you bring a group of Confucian scholars and famous scholars, it's useless, no matter how loud your voice is, it can't be more than the word "Li". If he is being arrogant, Wang Junlin is even more arrogant than him, because not only is he himself a peerless murderer, but he also controls the 30,000 troops in Longxi County. He is ready to swallow the Li family at any time.

Until this moment, Li Zongxian finally had a better understanding of Wang Junlin's methods.

The name of Wang Junlin, Li Zongxian naturally knew a long time ago. His various horrific deeds, including the secret fights with the major forces in the capital, Li Zongxian is well aware that, as the patriarch of the aristocratic family, any disturbance in Yongzhou and the capital Everything must be in his eyes and ears. In his previous impression, Wang Junlin was capable, capable of fighting, and powerful in tactics, but he always believed that the main reason for Wang Junlin's rise was that the emperor needed such a person, who was regarded as a sword to weaken the powerful family.

It was not until the meeting with Wang Junlin today, and after the two exchanged a few words, that Li Zongxian deeply realized that Wang Junlin was definitely not a simple warrior or general.

Li Zongxian's expression became more and more dignified, and he felt more and more threatened by Wang Junlin. He suddenly remembered that his sister Li Zongfeng had never been more cautious when talking about Wang Junlin, and unconsciously treated Wang Junlin faintly. There is an unfathomable feeling.

Wang Junlin suddenly said leisurely: "The time is the time, the situation is also, and we should act according to the judgment. Although the foundation of the aristocratic family is solid and the foundation of the millennium is profound, if you go against the emperor and the court, you may be a bit arrogant, right?"

Li Zongxian finally showed hesitation, Wang Junlin looked at him coldly, and smiled appreciatively.

What he appreciates is actually not Li Zongxian's understanding of current affairs. In fact, Wang Junlin doesn't think that what he said can make Li Zongxian make a different choice, everything is because of the trend of profit.

Wang Junlin is sure that Li Zongxian has made a decision since the moment he took control of the military and political power in Longxi County by means of thunder one day and one night. The action itself is a kind of implicit submissiveness, of course the real purpose is to come to him for a deal. "

What Wang Junlin appreciates is Li Zongxian's acting skills.

Obviously he has softened, but he still has to act unwillingly in front of him, as if the Li family has more and better choices, and today's surrender is just a last resort. If you dare to push, I'll bite you to death.

The basic skills of a political figure, the acting skills must be superb, cry when you say something, laugh when you talk about it, and perform well when you disagree with each other.

Li Zongxian's acting skills at the moment are very good, at least Wang Junlin feels that his fire is not so good.

After a long time, Li Zongxian raised his head and stared at Wang Junlin, and sneered: "I can see that, if you Qin Anhou can produce one unfounded evidence, you will produce two, or even more. You can just tell me what your purpose is." , at a young age, but with a ruthless and thoughtful mind, since ancient times a hero was born a boy, this old man finally believes in this sentence."

Wang Junlin said sternly: "Master Li's words are wrong, but since he must have made it clear, this junior has the courage to ask, is the Li family really innocent? Whether it is clear or not, everyone knows it, and now the situation is clear. , even if this junior doesn’t tell you these things today, how dare you ask Patriarch Li how to make a decision? Is it really impossible to fight to the death with the emperor behind this junior.”

Li Zongxian's expression became more and more hesitant. Wang Junlinjing watched the old man perform a performance at the level of an actor. After an unknown period of time, Li Zongxian suddenly sighed and said, "Qin Anhou, my Li family is willing to pay two hundred thousand taels Yinzi bought the evidence in Qin Anhou's hands. I don't know if Qin Anhou agrees."

Wang Junlin cursed inwardly, as soon as you come to the old hammer, you can start trading directly. You have to let the two of you talk hypocritical nonsense first. Thinking this way, Wang Junlin sneered and said, "Listen to Li Fengmu. , this junior has a good friend named Chen Danying as a guest in your residence, if senior can bring this friend back to this junior, everything will be fine."

A strange look flashed in Li Zongxian's eyes, he sighed, and said: "The two hundred thousand taels of silver and the woman named Chen Danying will be delivered to Qin Anhou within three days, and I hope Qin Anhou can keep his promise." .”

Wang Junlin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Thank you senior for fulfilling the promise, this junior will keep his promise, but although the junior has not reported to the court and His Majesty about the Iron Spear Village attacking Wushan County, the news has already spread. Someone has to take the blame for this."

Li Zongxian cursed secretly in his heart, and said: "Qin Anhou thinks who will take the blame for this."

Wang Junlin had already made up his mind, and said: "Young man has two options, please choose one of them."

Li Zongxian glanced at Wang Junlin, and said, "Qin Anhou might as well talk about it first."

Wang Junlin pondered for a while, and said: "Method one, the seniors choose a branch of the Li family, and the matter of Tieqiangzhai attacking Wushan County falls on them."

Li Zongxian snorted coldly, and said: "This method is absolutely not acceptable. Let's not say that it is difficult for the old man to convince the public if he does this, and it will more or less implicate my Li family. Marquis Qin An said something else. One way."

Wang Junlin said: "The second method is naturally to be blamed by the other family, but there are some things that need the help of the Li family."

Li Zongxian's face showed curiosity, with a hint of sarcasm: "I don't know which family Qin Anhou is eyeing."

Wang Junlin revealed terrifying murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "Hongnong Yang has a branch in Longxi County, located fifty miles south of Longxi City, Yang Family Town..."

Li Zongxian couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, he wanted to say something but in the end he hesitated to speak, the so-called dead poor Taoist is not as good as a dead Taoist friend, then Yang Su and Wang Junlin are life and death enemies, compared to the enmity between Li Shi and Wang Junlin much deeper.

Furthermore, taking advantage of the snowstorm a few days ago, Yang Su also participated in the matter of forcing Wang Junlin to death with rumors, and even Yang Hushi, the general manager of the Yamen Zhonglang, who came from Hongnong Yang's family, was the most important part of this plan. , but for some reason, the ignorant general Zhonglang was defeated by Wang Junlin, and was even played by him in the palm of his hand.
