Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Today, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang is Zheng Yuanxuan's cousin, Zheng Yuanli.

He is the oldest, and in the first year of Zhenguan, he retired from the position of the servant of the Huangmen.

As it should be, he became the head of many families with five surnames and seven wangs.

At the same time that the Liu family was going to invite the big shots, Zheng Yuanli also summoned people from the five surnames and Qiwang.

There are several big families. In their heyday, if you pick any one at random, the number of them can easily exceed [-].

But now, the total number of people who gathered in the Chongrenfang house of the Zheng family was only three NO.40.

"Uncle Zheng, you should think of a way! Liu Bai summoned all the big shots in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid they are planning to take action against me!"

"At this point, we have no way to retreat, so we might as well fight to the death!"

"In my opinion, it's better to go directly to the Liu family to make amends. After all, Cui Fengxian is the only one who showed up. I'll wait."

""

There are those who say hard resistance, and there are also those who are soft on persuasion.

There is a lot of chatter, making a lot of noise.

Zheng Yuanli didn't say a word.

In the end, when no one said anything, Zheng Yuanli knocked on the table with his crutches.

"All done?"

Zheng Yuanli asked three times in a row.

Everyone looked at each other, but none of them knew what Zheng Yuanli meant.

Zheng Yuanli cleared his throat, and said, "The younger generation of the Wang family is right. Our family has a deep blood feud with Liu Bai. Even if we come to the door to make an apology and give up all the family property, it is impossible for Liu Bai to soften his heart!"

"Uncle Zheng!"

A young man ran out crying and knelt down at Zheng Yuanli's feet with a 'plop'.

"My brother can't die in vain! He did it all for us!"

Zheng Yuanli helped the young man up, and said: "Nephew Fengji, no one wants to see Fengxian's death. You are right, he cannot die in vain!"

The only ones who came out to shout were members of the Cui family.

The other big families remained silent.

Zheng Yuanli looked at the reactions of the crowd, sighed, and said: "Although the old man is not in the court, he still has some old friends in power. As early as the day before yesterday, news came from the palace. I'll settle it one by one"

Hearing these words, everyone couldn't sit still anymore!

If it was Liu Bai alone, they felt that there was still room for maneuver.

Even if the big families offend the Liu family, it is impossible for the Liu family to kill everyone.

Big deal, just trouble the Cui family.

Who made Cui Fengxian take the initiative to jump out and seek death?

Among big families, it is not uncommon to find some irrelevant people to come out to take the place of dead ghosts.

They have long been used to this kind of thing.

However, if you add the royal family, it will be really over!

The royal family is not the original royal family, with five surnames and seven wangs, and it is no longer the original five surnames and seven wangs!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zheng Yuanli stood up tremblingly.

"Presumably, you all have doubts for a long time. Why did my Zheng family gather you together, and where did I ask you to return this huge family business?"

After speaking, he cupped his hands behind him.

"General, please show up!"

A middle-aged man in a short shirt came out from the back hall.

Looking at their attire, they are not much different from those laborers in Dongshi who rely on their bones for a living.

With solid muscles and dark skin, he looks like a coolie who has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years.

The middle-aged man took off the white turban on his head, washed his hands from the basin beside him, and wiped them clean again.

Then, without any scruples, he sat where Zheng Yuanli had just been, grabbed the apples on the table and gnawed them.

He gnawed into a fruit core in two or three bites, threw it under his feet, belched a lot, and then opened his mouth.

"A certain family is really hungry, please bear with me."

Among the several major families, Zheng Yuanli was not the only one who had retired from the court.

Someone recognized the identity of the middle-aged man.

"Luo Luoyi?!"

"You are alive?!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, there are people who know a certain family."

He squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the few people who were talking.

"So they are old acquaintances, Li Shilang, Cui Sheren, Wang Biejia, it's been a long time since you all!"

Zheng Yuanli cupped his hands towards Luo Yi again, turned to face the crowd, and wanted to say something.

Luo Yi waved his hand to tell him to shut up.

"A certain family suffered a sudden disaster in the early years. It was the Zheng family who gave a sum of money to the certain family, so that the certain family survived. Like you, the certain family did not want Liu Bai to continue to live, so let him die tomorrow, everyone. What do you think?"

Chapter 1066 Old prince, the young master is going to invite the emperor

When the night is ugly, the Liu family mansion!

The dignitaries from all parties gathered together, and the Liu family mansion was brightly lit.

The princes of the Li family lived close to Liu Bai, so they were naturally the first to arrive.

Fang Xuanling and others were a little late.

Everyone sat in the lobby, but Liu Bai was not seen.

"Liu Bai summoned us here late at night, and I don't know what happened."

"Today he went to the Ministry of Officials and retrieved Luo Yi's file. His relationship with him during Wude's reign may have a lot to do with him!"

"Tomorrow happens to be the Great Court Meeting, so don't make any troubles."

Everyone was talking in a hurry.

Someone noticed Fang Xuanling and others.

Normally, when Liu Bai was not around, Fang Xuanling would always be in charge of this small circle.

He raises an issue, and everyone discusses it again, and finally comes up with a solution.

Today, Fang Xuanling and others were silent.

Even Cheng Yaojin, who always had a loud voice, was surprisingly silent.

"Fang Xiang, I don't know"

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and the others looked unhappy, Han Tong got up and came over to ask.

Fang Xuanling looked at Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin nodded expressionlessly.

Fang Xuanling frowned even deeper.

At this time, everyone noticed this side.

"You go down and wait for Liu Bai to come."

Fang Xuanling waved his hand.

Han Tong couldn't keep asking, so he walked back silently and sat with Di Zhixun.

After waiting for a while, neither His Majesty nor Liu Bai arrived.

Cheng Chumo was in a mess, and walked in from the outside.

"father!"

He went straight to Cheng Yaojin, wanting to lean over and whisper something.

Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes slightly after listening.

"how many people?"

"I didn't dare to investigate too closely. They had someone to respond to them, but at least nearly 300 people showed up!"

Cheng Yaojin's face changed slightly.

When Fang Xuanling and the others heard this, they stood up abruptly.

This time, everyone was even more puzzled.

Li Deliang, Xinxing's old county king lived closest, but he was in a wheelchair and was pushed in because he was inconvenient.

Everyone stood up to greet each other.

"Everyone sit down."

He looked around but didn't find the rightful owner, so he said to Xu Chu who was standing behind the main seat in the lobby, "Where's your young master?"

Xu Chu took a few steps, stepped forward and said, "Old prince, young master, please invite the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Deliang was startled, and then said quietly: "Sure enough, something serious happened."

He asked the head of the guards behind him to push him to the side of the main seat, coughed a few times, and said: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, even if you wait until dawn today, you still have to wait for Liu Bai to come out!"

Everyone sat down one after another, and fell into silence for a while.

Many people's eyes were on Cheng Chumo.

He really stinks!

It's almost like crawling out of a cesspit.

After a few glances, it's actually not a big deal.

boom!

Cheng Yaojin slammed the table and said, "Anyone who doesn't like it, get out!"

If Li Er or Liu Bai had said this sentence, none of the people present would fart.

But it happened that Cheng Yaojin, who was out of tune, said it, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of a group of people.

Yuchi Jingde, Qu Tutong and others cursed as soon as they opened their mouths.

He scolded Cheng Yaojin for not being enough, and even scolded Cheng Chumo.

They have been friends for decades. In their view, there is not much difference between scolding Cheng Chumo and scolding their own son.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist!

"You scold me again?! It's really embarrassing to you!"

"Old Cheng! Old Cheng! Put the fire away! Brothers don't know what happened, why don't you speak out?"

Duan Zhixuan always liked to play the role of peacemaker, went up and grabbed Cheng Yaojin's arm, and stuck his knife back.

Cheng Yaojin sat down angrily, and was about to open his mouth when Fang Xuanling suddenly stretched out his hand to give him a hand.

"Let's wait for Liu Bai to come."

Cheng Yaojin could only snort heavily.

After all, he still felt sorry for his son, and said: "Ugly cow, go down and tidy up, and then go to doctor Li to prescribe some medicine. Liu Bai said that there is a wound, and it must not be contaminated with dirt, maybe it will cost your life!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yuchi Jingde and the others were startled.

"Is Chu Mo injured?"

Cheng Yaojin glared at them, then flipped off the leather armor on Cheng Chumo's body.
