Chapter 134 Li Family
The Li family's old house was surrounded, which made the surrounding people very frightened.
The notice from the government office made it very clear that as long as each family gave one pound of fine rice, the people fleeing famine would not enter the city.
They are willing to do so. After all, this pound of refined rice cannot make them rich, but no one needs a bite to eat.
If they can buy peace of mind with just this little thing, they are willing to do it.
But when Prince Xian's men surrounded the Li family, everyone panicked. What was going on?
Moreover, the gate of the yamen was tightly closed and no one came out. The Li family was like a fallen leaf in a river, about to collapse in an instant.
Rather than worrying about the Li family, they were more worried about themselves.
So the originally bustling streets became quiet in an instant, and everyone returned to their homes, closed their doors, and did not even dare to observe secretly.
At this moment, everyone in the Li family was trembling with fear, and the women and children didn't even know what was happening.
They just felt panicked and hid in the house trembling.
When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. Women and children like them can only rely on their family to survive. If the Li family is destroyed today, it will also be the day of their destruction.
When they thought of the people fleeing famine outside, and thought that they might have to live such a life, they felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Everyone in the Li family was in a panic, and most of the descendants were like quails, not daring to even look at Tang Mingchen.
Tang Mingchen only took a quick glance and understood the courage and character of the Li family.
Since you don't have the ability, why should you be the first to take action?
In the final analysis, it's nothing but interests that move people. These people want to please the prince and the Lin family, and treat him and the people who fled famine as soft persimmons.
"Your Majesty, my Li family has not done anything wrong. Why did Your Majesty break into my home so barbarically?"
The old man of the Li family shouted like this, and Tang Mingchen looked at him.
"Mr. Li, after you retired and returned to your hometown, you left your eldest son in Kyoto and took the rest of your sons back home.
I think you also know that fathers and sons are from different dynasties, and brothers are at odds with each other. If that's the case, how dare you interfere in the fight between royal brothers? Aren't you afraid that not only will your eldest son of the Li family be lost, but the other sons will also be buried with him?"
When Tang Mingchen said this, several Li family masters suddenly felt weak in the knees.
When they were in Kyoto, they knew that Prince Xian was a reckless person and that such a person should not be provoked.
But the eldest brother and father did not think so. They only wanted to show their loyalty to the prince and the Lin family and only thought about getting ahead.
Now, the Li family is finished, they are finished!
"Father!"
"Father, don't act on your own!"
These words made Mr. Li glare at his sons fiercely, saying they were useless things!
It turns out that it is useless without careful training. What can you achieve with this little courage?
The eldest son was right. The Lin family entrusted them with such an important matter. This was an opportunity.
If this could be accomplished, then their Li family would be very successful.
"Shut up! Our Li family is worthy of anyone. Preparing food for the disaster victims is not just a family's job. We in the Li family are just following orders."
General Wei looked at Tang Mingchen and said, "Hey, we've met a bully this time. What should we do? Beat him up?"
General Wei has been hanging out with Tang Mingchen for some time, and his style of doing things is also very direct.
Those who obey will be beaten once, and those who disobey will be beaten twice!
Tang Mingchen glanced at the old man of the Li family and said, "This is really interesting. The food should not be provided by your family. An Yi, tell me how the prefect arranged it?"
An Yi lowered his head and said, "According to the arrangement of the prefect, each household will donate one catty of fine rice, merchants will donate ten catties of fine rice, and large households will donate. This donated grain is recorded in the book, and it is enough for the victims to eat and drink for three days."
After An Yi finished speaking, he silently glanced at the old man of the Li family, which made him feel a chill on his back.
Sure enough, I underestimated King Xian.
He hadn't arrived yet, but he had already got the account book in his hands! How scheming!
"The food was donated by every household, so why was there sand and gravel mixed in the porridge?"
When Tang Mingchen asked this, the old man of the Li family looked dark.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
He never let his subordinates do this!
Even if you want to deal with the idle king, you definitely can't mix sand and stones into the porridge! What's the use of this! This will only anger... Wait.
He looked back at his little son in disbelief and asked with trembling fingers, "Is it you?"
The youngest son of the Li family quickly knelt down, crying and begging for mercy in fear.
"Father, help me! I know I was wrong!"
The youngest son of the Li family kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. He knew that the only one who could save his life now was the old man.
He was in charge of household affairs and naturally knew the importance of silver. He was confused for a moment and left half of the grain and mixed it with sand and gravel.
He thought they were just a group of disaster victims, and as long as they had food and water and didn't die, it would be fine. He never expected that King Xian would follow him.
Ultimately it's my father's fault. Why didn't he tell him such an important thing?
In the final analysis, I still don’t believe him and don’t want to tell him!
This is not his fault alone, his father is also at fault.
The old man of the Li family only felt a black screen before his eyes, then he swayed and passed out.
He never expected that his plan would be ruined, not because of others, but because of his stupid little son.
This made him feel completely hopeless. It seemed that their Li family was not so lucky.
Tang Mingchen took a look and asked someone to wake up the old man of the Li family.
An Yi poured the tea on the old man of the Li family's face without hesitation, and then slapped him hard.
Everyone in the Li family was silent. They were terrified and they didn't dare to move.
The old man of the Li family is the rule of the Li family. No one dares to disobey. No one would have thought that he would be suppressed to such an extent.
"You...what on earth are you going to do!"
He looked at Prince Xian and didn't expect him to be so crazy.
"What should I do? That depends on the attitude of the Li family."
Tang Mingchen looked at the old man of the Li family with a look like an eagle, and the old man Li was a little scared.
"My Li family has been in this city for hundreds of years. We are a prominent family. Our Li family has served as officials for generations and are loyal to the court!
We are loyal subjects. Even in front of the emperor, we dare to say this. What is the prince's intention in framing my Li family? "
At this moment, the old man was glad.
Fortunately, he didn't admit it, and fortunately, he didn't have time to take action.
Although the youngest son is a fool and ruined their plans, this may not be a bad thing.
"Really? You are so loyal."
Tang Mingchen glanced at the old man of the Li family, and then An Yi took out an account book.
The moment the account book appeared, the old man of the Li family suddenly panicked.
"This this……"
This is impossible! How could this thing be in their hands?
The old man Li's behavior says it all.
At this moment, all the descendants of the Li family present were terrified. What on earth had the family done behind their backs?
