Chapter 348: Kill King Jin too
"Yo!" Li Hao rode on horseback and sneered, "This must be Cui Chongzhi, the old lady of the Cui family." ”
"It's the old man!" Cui Chongzhi once again slapped the stick hard, glared at me and drank coldly, "Li Hao, you suddenly led troops to surround my Cui Clan's mansion, and threatened to arrest all my Cui Clan's personnel, and what do you say about killing!" Hum! The old man asked you, what kind of royal law did my Cui clan commit! And who gave you such guts! ”
"Why does Old Lady Cui ask knowingly." Li Hao grinned and sneered, "What did you Cui clan do, you know it in your own heart, so don't pretend anymore." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cui Wentai on the side shouted loudly, "Li Hao, can you see clearly, this is the Cui family, we are a famous family, inherited for hundreds of years, and you have the merit of being a dragon to His Majesty Gaozu, you are a little junior, and you dare to be rude to us?" ”
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, right?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows helplessly, and raised his voice, "Let me introduce myself to the two of you again, this official Li Hao is the envoy of Hebei Province by His Majesty's holy decree, and he will be crowned the general of Zhongwu, and temporarily take the post of assassin of Dingzhou." ”
"What?" Cui Chongzhi and Cui Wentai were shocked when they heard this, they haven't seen each other for a few days, when did Li Hao have these three official positions, especially the two official positions of Hebei Provincial Envoy and Dingzhou Assassin History, which made them most shocked, if Li Shimin really sealed Li Hao's official positions, what does it mean, the meaning is obvious.
Cui Wenjing on the side said angrily: "I remember that the history of the Dingzhou assassin is Qin Miao, you said that you are the history of the Dingzhou assassin, what is the evidence!" ”
Li Hao sneered: "I'm sorry, Qin Miao was suspected of serious dereliction of duty because of corruption and bad governance, and he was dismissed and investigated yesterday, you shouldn't know yet, as for the evidence, hehe...... Chen Bin, come here! ”
Chen Bin came to Li Hao's side, Li Hao took out three copies of the holy decree from his arms and handed them to him, saying, "Read it to them." ”
Chen Bin took the holy decree respectfully, and read out all the holy decrees three times, Cui Chongzhi and Cui Wentai all frowned after listening to the holy decree, it is true, Li Hao is really the deposed envoy of Dingzhou Assassin Shijia Hebei Province.
Cui Chongzhi muttered in a low voice: "Li Shimin is too despicable!" ”
Cui Wentai didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, of course he wouldn't understand, because he didn't understand Li Shimin's intentions at all, Li Shimin's intentions were very simple, he wanted to bring down the Cui family, but he didn't want to take the blame.
Li Shimin wants to get Cui's family, but he doesn't want to take the blame, what should I do, find a man who carries the blame, well, Li Hao seems to be very suitable, it is Li Hao, it just so happens that Li Hao is young and frivolous, and it is normal to do something crazy, as long as Li Hao takes Cui's pot and then returns to the dynasty to restore his life, he will definitely be impeached by the ministers, of course, there will be people who criticize Li Shimin.
Li Shimin is not afraid, he can shake the pot, and when the time comes, he can say this: When do I want Li Hao to get rid of the Cui family, I just asked him to go to the disaster and quell the chaos, and gave him a few official positions to facilitate his actions, it was Li Hao, a stunned young man, who advocated the elimination of the Cui family, it's none of my business, don't come to me.
Okay, Li Hao is really a pot bearer, but it doesn't matter, Li Hao is willing to carry this pot, as long as he can get rid of these tumor-like family valves, he is not afraid of carrying ten pots, this is called enduring humiliation.
Cui Chongzhi's mind changed sharply, and then quietly said to Cui Wentai: "Li Hao is trying to get rid of our Cui clan by surprise, if we are arrested, the Cui clan will be finished, as long as we hold on for a few days, spread the news, and there is pressure from the outside world, we will have a chance." ”
"But how to hold on." Cui Wentai frowned and said, "He is determined to kill us." ”
"Let the dead men move." Cui Chongzhi let out a low groan and slowly closed his eyes.
Cui Wentai hurriedly glanced at the rear when he heard this, and a middle-aged man behind him understood, and quietly retreated into the courtyard.
At this time, Chen Bin had already handed over the holy decree to Li Hao, Li Hao put away the holy decree and said slowly: "Two, I also listened to the holy decree just now, but you still have doubts?" ”
In order to delay time, Cui Wentai snorted coldly: "That's right, you are the assassin of Dingzhou, and you are the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, so what, can you arrest people indiscriminately!" ”
"Master Cui, your acting skills are good." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile, "The remnants of the hidden prince took advantage of the catastrophe to gather 200,000 victims, intending to rebel, and the Cui family secretly funded their money and food. ”
"Nonsense!" Cui Wentai glared and shouted, "My Cui family is loyal, shameless children, don't be honest and insult my lintel!" ”
"Ouch! Oh my God! You're an explosion of acting, it's a pity not to act. Li Hao smiled playfully and said, "Master Cui, don't be nervous, don't be angry, this official said that you rebelled, there must be evidence, how can you be honest, Chen Bin, please confess!" ”
Chen Bin stepped forward with a piece of yellow paper in his hand and read it aloud, the one he read was Li Chengtian's confession, Li Hao confessed to their rebellion, and also confessed that Cui's money and food were subsidized by the Cui family.
After listening to the confession, Cui Chongzhi couldn't be calm anymore, opened his eyes and looked at Cui Wentai, both of them were like ashes, they never thought that they had seen the wrong person, they had seen Li Chengtian, Li Chengtian was young and had a lot of knowledge about rebellion, but he was still young and still needed to exercise, but they never thought that Li Chengtian was such an undisciplined person, and he actually confessed all of them, they couldn't figure it out, what good would it be for Li Chengtian to confess.
Yes, it's really no good, but Li Chengtian just confessed to them, and if you want to know the reason, go and ask Li Chengtian.
Li Hao showed another account book, and said leisurely: "This is the account book found in the rebel camp, which records all the account details of the remnants of Prince Yin, let me take a look......
Li Hao looked through the account book, looked for a moment, and said with flying eyebrows: "Ah, I found it, on May 18 of the second year of Zhenguan, I collected Boling Cui's money and 300 stone grain, ouch, only 1,000 yuan and 300 stone grain, so you Cui are also stingy, too little, too little." ”
He continued to look for a while, and then said: "On the second day of the sixth month of the third year of Zhenguan, I received 3,000 yuan of Boling Cui's money and 500 stone of grain, well, it's still too little, Mrs. Cui, your Cui family is not kind, people are anti-thieves, and they don't ask for food, you give people such a little money and food is too perfunctory, what about sending beggars?" ”
Cui Chongzhi and Cui Wentai's faces were ugly, very ugly, as if they had just eaten two catties of hot Xiang, they dared to swear, they had lived so old, they had never seen such a cheap person like Li Hao, was there such a crowd, was there such a squeeze.
It's not over yet, Li Hao continued to flip through the account book, then opened his eyes wide, and said happily: "Ah, this time the number is more, Zhenguan four years and July 20, collect Boling Cui's money 10,000 yuan, grain 5,000 stones, well, this is like words, this is the pattern that your Cui family should have, oh, also, Zhenguan 8th year of the seventh month, collect Boling Cui's money 30,000 yuan, grain 10,000 stone, well, more and more like your Cui family's handwriting......"
Li Hao read out all the accounts about the Cui family in the account book in one go, and finally summed it up, the remnants of the hidden prince received a total of 130,000 yuan of money and 320,000 stones of grain, what a terrible number.
Money, Li Hao doesn't think so, after all, he is very rich, but 320,000 stone grain is terrifying, and with the cunning level of the Cui family, so much grain does not seem to be all the strength of the Cui family, and it may also be a drop in the bucket, no wonder it is said that these gate valve families are huge and rich enough to rival the country, it turns out that the rumors are true, if you want to get so much grain, you have to have so much land, you can imagine how much farmland the gate valve family has occupied.
Although the Tang Dynasty declined in the Anshi Rebellion and died in the warlords, in the final analysis, it was because of the shortage of farmland, because of poverty, why is farmland in short supply, why is it poor, because the money and grain have been taken away by those scholars, otherwise how can they deserve the title of cancer.
With a "snap", Li Hao closed the account book, looked at Cui Chongzhi with a smile, and asked: "Old lady Cui, now that the evidence is conclusive, do you want to obediently cooperate with my arrest, or are you ready to resist arrest?" ”
Cui Chongzhi's facial muscles trembled, obviously angry to the limit, and he was speechless, Cui Wentai on the side glared and shouted: "That's all your words, your evidence is all fake!" Spurious! ”
"Yo, play Rippy, right?" Li Hao's eyes widened, his eyebrows fluttered and said, "The evidence is true or false, after seeing the emperor in Chang'an, there will naturally be a conclusion, you only need to cooperate with the arrest of this official at present, don't forget, this official is now the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, and he has the right to act cheaply, do you know what cheap action is, come, I will popularize it with you, this cheap act, that is, I can kill people first, and then play the report, that is, the legendary first cut and then play, you only have major suspicions at the moment, and you can only be convicted after being brought back and interrogated by the Criminal Department, But if you dare to resist arrest, it will be a blatant rebellion, and I will have to act cheaply when the time comes, so don't blame me for not warning you. At the end of his speech, he raised his eyebrows and smiled a good and bad way.
Although he was reminding the Cui family not to arrest, no matter how it sounded, this tone sounded like it was stimulating the Cui family to resist, once they dared to resist, Li Hao could immediately issue a killing order, solve it on the spot, and check the fart, trouble.
"Old lady Cui, say something." Li Hao looked at them with a bright look and asked incomparably.
Cui Chongzhi didn't say a word, he was waiting, waiting for the dead soldiers raised in their house.
Finally, countless figures came out of the wall, like crucians crossing the river, there were many, many of them, all dressed in black, holding sharp Tang knives, and finally surrounded Li Hao and more than 1,000 of them, roughly calculated, about 2,000 people.
Li Hao looked at Cui Chongzhi with a shocked face and shouted in horror: "Cui Chongzhi, what do you want to do!" ”
Cui Chongzhi suddenly raised his head and laughed, the qi he held back until now can finally be released, now it's time to change him, Cui Chongzhi pointed at Li Hao, and said loudly: "As long as you all die here today, who dares to say that our Cui clan is rebelling, as long as it is not a rebellion, we don't care about other crimes." ”
The look of horror on Li Hao's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a wicked smile, Li Hao's expression changed and Cui Chongzhi frowned, Cui Chongzhi asked coldly: "Death is coming, can you still laugh?" ”
Li Hao smiled, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you have also seen that the Cui clan has openly rebelled, can I exercise my right to act cheaply?" ”
A row of Xuanjia soldiers holding iron shields scattered to both sides, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, rode to Li Hao's side, and said with anger on his face: "That's right, the Cui clan is openly rebelling, this king has seen it with his own eyes, and Li Di can let it go!" ”
"King Jin!?" Cui Chongzhi and Cui Wentai were shocked and inexplicable when they saw this, it turned out that King Jin had been hiding in the crowd, why Li Hao did this, the intention was already obvious, he just wanted to exercise the right to act cheaply, and he didn't want to fall into the hands of others, so he confirmed the charge of Cui's rebellion, with King Jin testifying, it is a hundred times more reliable than any evidence, Li Hao's previous aggressive performance was actually acting, that is, forcing them, provoking them, in terms of acting, Cui's father and son are far worse than Li Hao, in terms of scheming, they were also dumped by Li Hao for eight streets.
A trace of fierceness suddenly flashed on Cui Chongzhi's old face, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "All the dead soldiers obey the order and kill the King of Jin!" ”
