Three days.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Lee's ultimatum time has passed.

In the past three days, the food that should be paid in Shangzhou was almost the same, and in the end, the dozen families who were given the last gift were given a ticket.

These more than a dozen families are the Zong family, the largest local power in Shangzhou.

In the past few days, these dozen families sent some food to the yamen, which was less than a thousand. This amount was completely inconsistent with what Li had mastered. They didn't even pay a third, let alone had no indication of the fines issued by Li.

Three days have passed.

The Shangzhou yamen was decorated with lights and color, and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the Prime Minister Li invited the big merchants in Shangzhou here. This time, they basically received invitations from the court and those who bought more than 100 stones of grain.

The prince and the envoy had a banquet, and these people in Shangzhou still felt quite proud.

A group of wealthy merchants in Shangzhou greeted each other in front of the yamen.

"Owner Du!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

"I am not younger than Master Zhang. This time Master Zhang has climbed to a high school and shining his ancestors. He has earned a fifth-grade gift for his ancestors. It is amazing."

Du Li, the owner of the Xinfeng Association, stood there, listening to the old man Zhang, the local wealthy Zhang family, speaking with a humble attitude. In Shangluo, Shangzhou, the Zhang family is the largest family in the city.

The Zhang family has a prosperous family. Not far from the city, it is the Zhang family's ancestral home. The entire village is a place where the Zhang family live together, and the houses are one by one, and the surrounding fields are also owned by their family. They also have a pier for the Zhang family.

The village walls of Zhang's family are much taller than ordinary villages, and locals call it Zhangwu. It is a castle. In the fort, there are hundreds of men in the Zhang family, and the family members and servants, there are more than three or four thousand people, which is famous far and wide.

Even if the governor of Shangzhou takes office, he will go to Zhangwu to meet this old man Zhang.

Xinfeng Association has to visit and give gifts often, and cannot afford to offend the Zhang family.

"I heard that the owner Du and Li Xiang jointly opened a cake factory, which is amazing."

"It's just because Li Xiang is looking at him." Du Li replied with a smile.

"Well, in the future, Master Du will come to the forum, but don't forget that we are from Shangzhou, Mr. Zhang will bring his children from the clan into the yamen.

Du Li looked at the figure of Old Man Zhang and his party, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Local owner Du, this person with the surname Zhang is very awesome. He dares to be strong with Li Xiang. To this day, he has only taken out 800 stones of food and ignored Li Xiang's fine. He dares to come for a banquet today!"

Du Li snorted.

"This old man Zhang is also old and stupid. He really thinks he is so amazing to go to the Luo Zhang family. He just sits in a well and watches the sky. Yelang is arrogant and overestimates himself. Today's banquet is destined to be lively and beautiful."

"Hiking?" Several grain merchants at Xinfeng Guild Hall said in surprise.

Du Li said, "They don't think about who Li Xiang is? The repeated warning ultimatums really think that Li Xiang is a nickname? Li Xiang is a general who is a prime minister. He is decisive and cruel. He can't he fight against a small family in Shangluo City? Think about what kind of power the Duke of Peng Guo and his son are, and he will destroy it as soon as he says he is destroyed. He uprooted it. His father and son are still on the head of Chang'an City. Go further away, the King of Lujiang, father and son, are both princes, and they are the cousins ​​of His Majesty today. What is the result?"

Speaking of this, Du Li showed a playful smile on his face, "Some people are just trying to die. We can see the good show today!"

"How will Li Xiang deal with the Zhang family and others?"

"I guess I will definitely not let it go!" Du Li said. Although he operated in Shangzhou, he often traveled to Chang'an and went to the Du family. He knew more about the situation in the court than ordinary people. He knew better than others that Prime Minister Li was definitely not a person who was easy to meet. Although Li looked so young and often smiled, he had many ruthless methods.

Inside the yamen.

Mr. Zhang was very proud today.

This Shangzhou yamen is like his own family. Wherever he goes, people will greet him. There are even many clerks in the yamen, who are all children from other clans and relatives.

"The old man is getting stronger and stronger!"

"I just took the eleventh concubine, you have to be more at ease, old man." Someone laughed.

A group of parents from Shangzhou's wealthy families gathered around Old Man Zhang, and were talking and laughing loudly as if no one was around.

"Prime Minister, these guys are arrogant enough." Cheng Chumo told Li Dao.

Li stood in the attic and looked at the unscrupulous appearance of the Shangzhou tyrants in the courtyard in the distance, and still had a smile on his face.

"It's great that they're here. Today I have set up such a big stage. If the protagonists don't come, the play will not be exciting."

"I really want to touch them?"

"If the sword is not out of the sheath, some people will always think that we are just doing it because of the heavy thunder and rain."

Li turned to Niu Jianhu and said, "Are everyone ready?"

"You're ready. As long as the Prime Minister gives the order, Zhang Wu will take it down in a moment."

Li nodded.

His patience was also limited. The Zhang family and more than a dozen Shangzhou tyrants did not take him seriously at all. They repeatedly challenged his patience, so Li asked them to commit suicide.

Today is the time to kill the chicken.

Liu Ye, the governor of Shangzhou, came over.

"The Prime Minister, everyone has arrived. Will the banquet start?"

"Let's get started."

Liu Ye nodded and turned around and went down first.

Everyone has arrived, and all the well-known men in Shangzhou have arrived. The backyard of the yamen is big enough. Today it happened to be cloudy. I put the tables in the backyard, and hundreds of people can accommodate them.

But hundreds of people were sitting there, and it was still very noisy.

The clerks in the yamen guided everyone to sit down.

Old Man Zhang, who was waiting for the more than ten households, was led to sit at the front table, which was under the upper table of the prince and Li.

Old Man Zhang pretended to refuse a few times, then he went over to sit with crutches with a blush on his face.

The governor Liu Ye first said a few scenes on it, and then invited the prince and Li to attend.

Li took Li Chengqian to appear.

"Before the banquet begins, let me announce something first." Li stood there with a smile and said, "Shangluo Zhang, relied on his power to rampant the countryside, and he was full of bad deeds. He was full of bad deeds. During the period when he followed the prince to Shangzhou, he kept receiving complaints from the people and merchants. During this period, he also sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly. Unexpectedly, after investigation, he was extremely shocked. Unexpectedly, Zhangluo, a small wealthy family in the state, had so many evil deeds."

Everyone was caught off guard.

Is Li Xiangguo going to touch the Zhang family?

Hundreds of pairs of eyes turned to Old Man Zhang on the table below. Old Man Zhang, who was sitting proudly, was stunned. The excitement on his face turned into a shocked and angry purple color.

A team of guards came out from one side.

Everyone was stunned and picked up Old Man Zhang directly from the table.

Niu saw Hu knocking Old Man Zhang's head down with a knife and kicked him into the bend of his legs. The old man stood unsteadily and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Now, please invite Liu Envoy to go to the hall to try the case and handle the case impartially. I will listen to the Crown Prince. You can testify together!"

Things changed so quickly that no one in Shangzhou expected that a banquet would actually be a public trial.

"Ascending to the hall!"

"Vi!"

"Wu!"
Chapter completed!
