Chapter 216: Unprovoked Disaster

Wang Zong’s gossip news surprised Li Su.∈♀

In general, the folk customs are still very simple these days. There are bandits and strong men in the Tang Dynasty, but not many. Even if there are bandits and strong men rob money, they usually have to pay for money and live. After honestly handing over the money, strong men will generally not make things difficult for the master. There are also rules in the martial arts world that cannot be destroyed casually.

However, the Hu family was burned by a forced person and lost their house, so this was a bit strange.

"What a strong man did?" Li Su frowned.

Wang Zong nodded: "Of course it's a strong man. All the money in the family has been looted. Who is it if it's a strong man?"

Li Su shook his head: "No, the bandits will not attack so ruthlessly. This is clearly seeking revenge, and the hatred is not small. It belongs to the irreconcilable type, otherwise he would not even kill the servants in the family."

Wang Bao opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Your statement is exactly the same as that man, and he also said it was seeking revenge..."

"Who is that person?"

"The Hu family is not dead. That night, a nephew of the Hu family was not at home and was sent to Tanzhou to discuss business. He came back the next day and escaped. After returning, he found that the whole family was destroyed. He cried and reported to the official. As a result, the official took down the nephew without saying a word..."

"What do you do with him? Did he do it?"

Wang Zong shook his head: "The official said that he was secretly instructed. After all, he went to Tanzhou when the Hu family was destroyed. What's more, the Hu family had a good family background. If the Hu family was destroyed, the living nephew could just inherit all the Hu family's property. Therefore, the official listed him as the biggest suspect. However, the nephew called for justice and said that the Hu family was destroyed by the family was definitely not his or her, nor was it a powerful man. It must be someone seeking revenge. The official punished him several times and he never failed to make a mistake. The case was difficult to determine. The governor of Yuezhou had to take him to Chang'an and ask the Ministry of Justice to decide..."

Li Suruo thought: "When the Hu family was in Taiping Village, who had a grudge against?"

Wang Zong said without hesitation: "Xingyang Zheng family..."

After a pause, Wang Zong showed a look of shock: "What you mean is not..."

Li Su looked up at the gray sky, and a group of geese flew south in a row, adding a bit of solemnity to the gray sky.

"I didn't say anything, haha..." Li Su sneered, but could only sneer.

He is just an ordinary person and cannot uphold justice for the Hu family because the family is too terrifying and cannot be shaken by Li Su.

At the beginning, the Hu family was forced to leave by the Zheng family, and later public opinion in Chang'an broke out and rushed to punish each other. Li Shimin took the opportunity to suppress the forces of the aristocratic family. He took over the land robbed by the Zheng family and sealed it up to Dongyang. The Zheng family was forced to send someone to apologize to the Hu family and compensated 2,000 jin of money...

A huge thousand-year-old family, who was so cowardly, would Li Sutou not believe it if the Zheng family could tolerate it. Perhaps they would not dare to fight Li Shimin, but there was no pressure to deal with a small Hu family.

I endured it for a year before I launched a revenge. Moreover, the layout was seamless. Not only did I die without evidence, but I also left a scapegoat to serve the government. It was a good method!

After patting Wang Zong on the shoulder, Li Su said heavily: "Say hello to your second son. Don't talk about this everywhere. Be careful of causing trouble. A clan, we can't afford to provoke it, so it's better to hide, do you understand?"

Wang Bao nodded in a flash.

The river water flowed slowly. The float of the fishing rod still floated on the river surface without any movement. Li Su stared at the river water blankly and suddenly lost interest in fishing.

Sighing, Li Su put away the fishing line, greeted Wang Zong, and the two walked home.

After taking a few steps, Butler Xue ran towards the river beach with a look of panic, his expression full of panic.

"Young man, it's not good! The official officer came to Jingyang County Government and took Zheng Xiaolou away!"

***************************************************************

When Li Su and Wang Zong ran home, their father Li Dao was sitting on the threshold with a gloomy face.

"Dad, what's going on? What happened to Zheng Xiaolou?"

Li Daozheng snorted: "The guard named Zheng you accepted was in trouble! He killed someone."

Li Su became more and more shocked and inexplicably: "Who did he kill?"

Li Daozheng said angrily: "How do I know? The official entered the door and locked the Zheng surname and left. He only said that he killed someone and has been taken to Jingyang County now!"

Li Su quickly calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Li Daozheng snorted, "The official officer said, "When you ask the magistrate Zhou to go to Jingyang County Government when you have any flaws, this person named Zheng is from our family. If you don't call him, you will get someone. It's a bit unimportant. Zhou County Magistrate said he would compensate you, right?"

Li Daozheng became more and more angry as he spoke, and said angrily: "This Zhou County Magistrate is too bullying! Our family is a county enthroned by His Majesty, and it is Jingyang County. In name, the entire Jingyang County should be your fiefdom. This Zhou County Magistrate dared to call us and come to our family to get people without calling us. It's a bastard!"

Li Su smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, 'Jingyang County' is not the case. The princess's fief is only 300 acres. How could I, the last title, give me the entire Jingyang County? Dad, you forgot the imperial edict that you gave me the title, only 100 acres of fief, just in Taiping Village..."

Li Daozheng was very stubborn and immediately glared at him: "Fart! Jingyang County was not granted to you, so why should you put the word "Jingyang" in front of your title? Why didn't Your Majesty simply named you "Taiping Village"?"

"This..." Li Suyu was stunned for a while, and said slowly: "Dad, you said so well, but the child was speechless..."

Li Daozheng was right, his attitude became more and more rampant, and he said angrily: "That's right! Jingyang County is yours, why kill someone? Although the surname Zheng, I have long seen him not look like a good person, no matter how bad he is, he is still a member of our family. He rushed into our house and took the people away without saying he could tell him, and he would not take our county government seriously? Son, go to Jingyang now and ask the county magistrate Zhou, if he dares to bully the county, does he have any laws in his eyes!"

There is no right or wrong. This is the first time Li Su discovered that his father was so protective of his shortcomings. He always looked at Zheng Xiaolou at home, saying that he had anger in his eyes and didn't look like a good person. However, Zheng Xiaolou was taken away, but his father was so angry. Of course, protecting his shortcomings was just one of the reasons for being angry. Li Su estimated that the biggest reason was that County Magistrate Zhou's behavior of not saying hello made the county father very angry and felt embarrassed.

Seriously speaking, Li Su is actually a little angry. The reason for his anger is the same as his father, one is to protect his shortcomings and the other is to lose face.

The Zhou County Magistrate’s approach is indeed not particular. Although it is an era when national laws are as good as heaven, after all, the rule of man is more important than the rule of law. Many things are matters of face. It is a bit too much to send someone to the county government to get people.

"Dad, you sit at home. I'll go to Jingyang for a walk. If this matter is not done properly, I won't call it Jingyang County in the future, but I'll call it Jingyang Grandson in the future!"
