When Li Xiao left the palace, he found that the guards guarding the palace city looked at him in a wrong look. In just half a day, the news that Li Xiao, a member of Lantian County, had already spread throughout Chang'an that Li Xiao, the deputy chief of the Du branch, had already spread to Chang'an. This was a lot of news.

Li Xiao, a farmer-born man, actually slaughtered the five surnamed Cui Zhiti. He completely slaughtered him, and was dismissed from the people, confiscated his property, and sent him back to his hometown for custody.

Since the reign of Emperor Taizong, he has no good eyes on the old gentry of Shandong, but the influence of the old gentry of Shandong is still huge, especially the five surnames and seven families. No famous ministers in the Zhenguan period were fighting to marry the five surnames and seven families. Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were all like this, let alone other people.

Even though Taizong issued an order to compile the clan and rank the royal family first, the second in the latter class and the third in the Cui family, the arrogance of the old gentry remained high.

This time, using Li Xiao's nonsense, he dealt with Cui Zhiti hard, which could have severely slashed the face of the five surnames and seven families.

A palace guard even smiled and brought Li Xiao's mount, "Lantian County, is a good person, manly. Those five surnames who are a goddamn have long seen them unhappy."

"What do you call this brother?" Li Xiao asked.

"I'm Wu Yuanqing, Wu Zhaoyi's eldest brother." The man said with a smile, looking like we're so close to each other in the future.

When Li Xiao heard the name Wu Yuanqing, he thought to himself that this guy is not Wu Sansi's father?

The Wu brothers are a few bastards. He is Wu Zetian's half-brother. It is said that when Wu Zetian was young, he was bullied by several half-brothers a lot, and even left a shadow in his heart.

Although that was a childhood thing, it was probably not a good thing to bully my sister.

Li Xiao thought to himself, I am a loyal minister, why are these people always around me?

He said goodbye and left after chatting with Wu Yuanqing for a few words. Although he didn't like Wu Yuanqing, the more villains he was, the more he could not offend them. You can't have a deep friendship with them, but you can't ignore them either.

Thinking that his unborn child had been booked by the Wu family, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. His relationship with the Wu family was getting closer and closer. He had become a marriage for his children, and he was also a royal friend, so he was completely tied to the Wu family's ship.

On the way back to Shengyefang home, I passed by the brigade of soldiers where the Cui family was located, and saw that the brigade of soldiers were blocking the neighborhood. Cui Zhiti's mansion had been seized.

Cui Zhiti stood in a daze in white cloth clothes at the intersection of the street, and the Cui family was driven out.

All of them except their clothes were confiscated.

"father."

A sad voice sounded, and Li Xiao looked at it and found that Cui Zhiti's daughter, Madam Cui Er, was wearing a scarf on her head and was reluctant to say goodbye to her father.

Cui Zhiti was ordered to leave the capital immediately and was escorted back to his hometown to monitor and take care of him. In addition to Cui Zhiti, his wife Wang and his children were accompanied by his children, several concubines who had children were also allowed to go with him. Other concubines who had not had children would be left behind. They were originally part of Cui's property and would be confiscated into the court for service.

Cui Yingluo will be sent to Li Xiao’s mansion, and there is also a girl named Yuenu who is accompanying her.

The Cui family was in chaos and panic.

Li Xiao took a look and didn't go over, so he rode away.

He had no embarrassment to Cui Zhiti. Since he had taken action, he would not show mercy. But the matter was over, and there was no need for him to put down the wrong things and say a few sarcastic words. It was meaningless.

"Alang, is that Chang'an flower really going to be sent to our mansion?" Zhang Cong, the follower, asked Li Xiao.

Li Xiao frowned. This was really a problem. Originally, Cui Yingluo was just a card to fight against Cui Zhiti, and she wouldn't have thought so much at that time.

But now, Cui Zhiti is defeated, and the emperor asks Cui Yingluo and Cui Yuenu to join the Li family as concubines.

"Let's talk about it then."

War will always hurt innocent people. Cui Er Niangzi and the others are innocent, but sometimes it is always like this and no one can completely avoid it.

This matter was decided on the Golden Palace, and the emperor's Jinkou Yuyu's words could not be changed easily. If he refused to accept it, then there would be loopholes in his affairs with Cui Zhiti.

Li Xiao looked up at the neighbors in Chang'an and said leisurely, "I guess I have become a thorn in the eyes of the entire Shandong gentry."

The two boys Zhang Cong and Liu Suan were a little worried. Although they were poor boys from Jiangnan, they had been in Chang'an for a while and deeply understood the great influence of the gentry, especially the five surnames and seven families.

Cui Zhiti was removed from the people and taken back to his hometown, but Cui Zhiti had five brothers, two in court and three outside, all of whom had a good position, not to mention that they had a close marriage all over the world. Cui Zhiti's wife is the Wang family in Taiyuan, and is said to be of the age of the current queen's cousin.

"Forget it, don't worry about him. If the soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil is flooded, and if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone. If anyone wants to provoke me, then we have to refer to Cui Zhiti's fate."

When we got home, we all came over. The ups and downs outside had already spread to the mansion. Everyone felt much more relieved when they saw the owner smiling.

The family also had the millions of dollars from the Cui family. Li Xiao played with it for a while and then sent it to the Cheng family. It was not difficult to borrow it again after borrowing it.

I originally planned to pay off the debt with the modified Mulan boat, but after thinking about it, I would just forget it. If Cheng's family could get on his boat, he could give it to the Cheng family and the Xue family would also give it to him.

When people are in the court, they will eventually become a party and a group.

Although gentlemen are not friends or party, Li Xiao is unavoidable. Now that he has offended the gentry, he can only hold the legs of Emperor Li Zhi more tightly, and he has to hold the legs of the army like Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui and others.

The guards at home need to recruit a few more, and they have to practice seriously, not afraid of ten thousand, but fear of something.

If those gentry secretly take action, they must be on guard against one another.

A noise came from the gate.

The housekeeper came over to report that an angel came and asked Li Xiao to greet him.

Li Xiao cleaned his clothes. At the door, a eunuch came to the palace, with a team of people. It turned out that he had brought Cui Yingluo and Cui Yuenu over. They were each sitting in a carriage, and the crying sounds inside could be heard through the curtains.

"Secretary Li, according to His Majesty's order, the two girls of the Cui family have sent you here. The clothes and cosmetics of the two girls are behind them. In addition, His Majesty also issued a special order to take out two 500 acres of land in the west of Beijing from the property confiscated by the Cui family, two shops in the West City, and one of the Wentang Biezhuang in Lishan, the dowry for the two girls."

Li Zhi slapped the gentry in the face hard, and after a while, he felt so happy, but he did not forget who helped him. He turned around and took out some of the confiscated Cui family property as a reward to Li Xiao.

"Please give the angel a thank you to His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Li Xiao."

Li Xiao waved and immediately Butler Qian delivered the prepared gift. Such politeness made the eunuchs who came to pass the order very satisfied. Compared to the gentry like Cui Zhiti, they were too sensible. No wonder Cui Zhiti ended up like this, but Li Xiao was so prosperous.

The eunuch left after giving the errand.

Li Xiao also had a headache when he heard the crying sounds that kept coming from the carriage.

"Please get off the car with the second wife."

Li Xiao stood outside the carriage and said, but there was no movement inside. Li Xiao waited for a while and reached out to lift the curtain. As soon as he lifted a little curtain, a little coldness thorned.

I couldn't help but feel shocked. In a hurry, I saw a beautiful woman sitting in the carriage with a jade-faced face. She looked at her face with pear blossoms and gritted her teeth, but she held a handful of golden scissors in her hand and stabbed her hard at her.

How could Li Xiao be stabbed by a woman?

His hand sank, he held Cui Yingluo's wrist. With a little force, Cui Yingluo could no longer stab forward.

"Girl, why bother?"

"I want to die with you!" Cui Yingluo used all her strength, but she couldn't let the scissors go forward again. Her face turned red with anxiety, but it was useless.

The family was still happy in the morning, but at noon, the family was broken up, and her father lost his official position and lost his family property. However, she was promised to Li Xiao as her concubine.

I promised to be a concubine who was ruined by the evil family of the Cui family.

When she parted with her parents, Cui Yingluo had already thought about it. She didn't plan to live longer than today.

A concubine murders her husband, and the crime is even more than murder.

She just wanted to die together, but she didn't expect that the little thief was prepared for it.

"Why are you doing this?" Li Xiao shook his head and sighed.

Cui Yingluo is indeed very beautiful. She is only sixteen years old this year. She is as old as a flower, but she is already a little late in the Tang Dynasty.

She has an oval face, fair skin, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and she is all a beauty no matter how you look at it.

Even when she gets angry, she looks so beautiful.

"I won't be a concubine for you even if I die!" Cui Yingluo shouted.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, "Girl, you are still so young, why do you talk about life and death lightly? I know you are very angry with me now, hate me very much, and wish I could die in front of you now. However, there is no love and hate in the world for no reason, and the grudges between me and your father are all for reasons. Today I don't want to talk to you about who is right or wrong. I just remind the girl that even if you kill me, you don't care about your life and death results, but have you ever thought about it for your parents and brothers?"

"Although your Cui family has been investigated, your father is just expelled from the people and can still live back to his original home. But if you kill me, what will happen to your parents? No matter whether this is your own behavior or their instructions, they cannot escape?"

"Do you want to implicate them?" Li Xiao asked in a stressful tone.

A look of pain flashed in Cui Yingluo's eyes. She just hated Li Xiao, but she never thought that if Li Xiao was stabbed to death, it would implicate her family.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Xiao grabbed the knife from Cui Yingluo's hand with force.

"Let's stay in the mansion first, don't think about it. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you," Li Xiao said.

Cui Yingluo remembered that her wrist was still held by Li Xiao, and she lowered her head and struggled a few times.

"You promised me not to do stupid things again in the future. Whether you want to kill me or commit suicide, I will not allow it. If you do stupid things, I will take revenge on your father."

"You are shameless!" Cui Yingluo cursed.

"Shameless people can do everything, do you understand? Be obedient now and come to the mansion with me!"
