Tibet

On the morning of the next day, Li Linfu held an important clan meeting at the ancestral hall. Regarding raising the clan members' monthly income and discussing the establishment of a clan elders' meeting, this was indeed a major event, related to everyone's vital interests and the future of the family.

Of course, this was not a temporary idea that Li Linfu had. He was old and lacked energy. He had long wanted to delegate power, but he could not find a suitable person to take over as the new clan leader, so he thought of the clan chief meeting, where several brothers would come together. bear.

All the adult clan members participated in today's clan meeting. Li Ye also came, but he did not participate. He was in a restaurant opposite the Prime Minister's Mansion, staring at the main entrance of the Prime Minister and the alley next to it. The Prime Minister's Mansion only had two exits, one It is the main entrance, and the other is the alley next to it, which leads to the ancestral hall and the side entrance.

Generally, the gate will only be opened when Li Linfu comes back to facilitate the entry and exit of carriages, or when guests come in and out, but family members are not allowed to use the gate, but take the side door and come out from the side alley.

Li Ye's target was of course the fourth child, Li Min. He acted despicably and viciously. Back then, he not only set up a trap to harm his father, Li Dai, but also caused his mother to be kicked out of the house by her father. He was also responsible for the fire in the Ministry of Household Warehouse not long ago. Perjury was used to frame Li Dai.

This time, he secretly arranged for someone to injure Li Xun and two other grandchildren. If he hadn't been so skilled in martial arts, he would have been lying in bed recovering from his injuries today.

Li Ye judged that after today's clan meeting, Li Min would inform the emperor immediately. He was the spy used by Emperor Li Longji to monitor Li Linfu.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are an informant, but if you deliberately report that your father is close to the Cheng family, then you will be punished.

In addition to Li Ye, there was Zhang Ping in the restaurant, and there was also Li Xun with his arm hanging. Li Xun was very important. Neither Li Ye nor Zhang Ping knew anyone, and they didn't know who they were staring at.

At this time, the clan meeting was over, and the Li clan members came out of the alley one after another, and soon they were all gone, but the fourth child, Li Min, was never seen coming out.

At this moment, a young man came out riding a donkey. Li Xun recognized him at a glance as Li Ze, Li Xun's second son.

"Out!"

Li Xun whispered: "He is Li Min's second son Li Ze, who is also studying at Mingde Academy. This man is smarter than his brother Li Huai!"

"Aren't there classes at Mingde Academy today?" Li Ye asked in a deep voice.

"Class is normal, but for some reason he didn't go?"

"Little Fatty, let's go!"

Li Ye and Zhang Ping got on their horses and followed Li Ze from a distance out of the square gate. Li Ze went directly to the direction of Yishanfang, probably to Gao Lishi's mansion. Li Ye whispered a few words to Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping understood and accelerated his horse to catch up, surpassing Li Ze, with Li Ye following closely behind.

When they were approaching the gate of Yishanfang, Zhang Ping's horse suddenly rushed over and collided with Li Ze's donkey, knocking Li Ze to the ground. Zhang Ping fled in a hurry on horseback.

Li Ye stepped forward and knocked Li Ze unconscious with one punch. He pretended to save him, but took a letter from his arms.

People around him gathered around him, but Li Ye made an excuse to chase the perpetrator and left. He quickly took a look at the letter cover, which was the letter written by Li Min to Gao Lishi.

He got on his horse and drove it away

Li Ze was rescued by everyone. Apart from a splitting headache, he had no serious problems and the donkey was not injured either.

"Young man, the perpetrator is a tall and fat young man. He has run away. Thanks to a kind person who rescued you. Do you want to report it to the police?"

"I'm fine! Thank you everyone, I don't need to report to the official."

When everyone saw that he was not injured, they dispersed one after another. Li Ze turned over and mounted the donkey. He casually touched his arms and his face suddenly changed, "Oh no!"

In the study, Li Ye handed a letter to Li Linfu. Li Linfu opened the letter and read it again. He was so angry that his eyes turned black. His son turned out to be the emperor's spy to spy on him.

The various informants must be his fault. How could he be such a villain?

Li Linfu gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "This bastard, I have to die at his hands!"

At this time, Li Min's voice came from outside the door, "Father, are you looking for a child?"

"Come in!"

Li Min walked into his father's study and was startled when he saw Li Ye sitting next to him.

Li Ye sneered and said, "Do you think I should have my legs broken and lie at home?"

Li Min looked unnatural and said coldly: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"Really? Sima Changqing has been arrested by the government, are you afraid?"

Li Min's face turned pale in an instant, and Li Linfu said in surprise: "Ye'er, what are you talking about?"

"Grandpa, don't you know that three of your grandchildren were attacked and injured a few days ago?"

"I know, your father told me, but the murderer was not caught."

"But these five murderers attacked me again last night, and I defeated them all. The county government has caught them, and the instigator is Sima Changqing, the master of Changqing Martial Arts Gym. The mastermind behind the scenes is probably in a panic now!"

Li Linfu immediately glared at Li Min, "Is that Sima Changqing the father of your concubine?"

Li Min fell to his knees, trembling all over and unable to say a word.

Li Linfu slammed the table, pushed the letter up, stared at him fiercely and said: "There is also this letter. If you can't explain it clearly, I will treat you as my son!"

Li Min saw the letter in front of him clearly and was immediately frightened out of his wits.

Kowtowing like crazy, "Father, I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!"

His son's betrayal made Li Linfu extremely sad and angry. It also made Li Linfu realize that he was usually too indulgent, to the point of killing his own brothers and nephews. What kind of chaos is it?

Li Linfu waved his hand, "Drag him down and imprison him, and send him to the county government office to surrender in the afternoon."

Several servants stepped forward and grabbed Li Min's arms and dragged him out. Li Min was extremely frightened. Once the government convicted him, he would not be able to keep his official position.

"Father, let the child go! If you spare the child this time, the child will realize his mistake."

Li Min was so frightened that he cried loudly, and Li Linfu snorted coldly, "You can't even let me go, how can I let you go? Take me down!"

Several servants dragged Li Min down.

Li Ye sat aside and remained silent. This kind of person is a wolf. No amount of forgiveness can change his ferocious nature. Beating him to death is the solution once and for all.

The room became quiet again, and Li Linfu let out a long sigh and said, "It is said that trouble starts with Xiao Qiang. This is true!"

Li Ye consoled him: "It should be said that it's not too late to make up for the situation before it's too late!"

Li Linfu nodded, "Now that I think about it, Gao Lishi is actually a pretty good person. He will never say the wrong thing. He deliberately mentioned the matter of your return to the clan to imply that there is a traitor in my family. Alas! I haven't said anything wrong until now." react to."

"Grandpa is tired, grandson, please leave first!"

"Wait a minute!"

Li Linfu stopped Li Ye and took out the plan he gave him yesterday, "I took a careful look at your plan yesterday about annihilating Arbus. The plan is good, but there are a few doubts I want to ask you about in detail."

"Grandpa, please speak!"

"First, you object to An Lushan sending troops to exterminate the Absi tribe. Why?"

Of course Li Ye would object. Historically, Anlushan annexed Absi's Tongluo cavalry, and later tens of thousands of Tongluo cavalry became the main force of his rebellion.

"Reporting to my grandfather, there are tens of thousands of elite Tongluo cavalry under the Absi tribe. This foreign army must be completely eliminated, otherwise it will become a problem for the Central Plains. I heard Cheng Ruobing say that An Lushan has coveted the Abusi tribe for a long time. He I have repeatedly persuaded the emperor to move the Absi tribe to Youzhou, in fact, just to annex it, grandfather, we cannot let this happen."

Li Linfu shook his head, "Your premise is that An Lushan will rebel. First of all, this premise is not true!"
