On the official road from Fan Yang to Qinghe, a carriage was galloping at a high speed. Even though Cui Junchuo knew that his health was deteriorating and he couldn't be bumpy like this, he didn't care about other things at this time.

"Master, let the carriage and horses slow down! Your body is almost unable to support it. If you continue like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to go home." The housekeeper who followed in the carriage pleaded.

After a severe cough, Cui Junchuo's weak voice came, "No, it's a three-day journey from Fan Yang to Qinghe, and I can handle it. As the head of the Cui clan, it's my negligence that I can't stay at home when my clan members are killed. .

Now the family is besieged by the army, life and death are at stake, even if the old man dies, he will die on the way home, otherwise he will have no face to meet his ancestors! "

Cui Junchuo spoke slowly, one sentence at a time, but it contained an extremely firm meaning. This kind of firmness from the heart seemed to tell others that even death could not stop his footsteps.

When the galloping chariot traveled a hundred miles north of Qinghe, it would take half a day to reach home, but was stopped by a group of soldiers.

The butler got out of the car and shouted: "Who are you waiting for? Dare to stop the carriage of the Cui clan chief?"

These people are naturally the scouts sent by Li Jing to inquire about the news, they knew the appearance of the chariot and horse was extraordinary, they stepped forward and asked, well, indeed they are the target.

"On the order of Li Jing, Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, we are here to wait for Cui Junchuo, the Patriarch of the Cui family!" The leading scout team was shouting.

"Bold, is the name of the Patriarch of the Cui family that you and other ignorant pawns can call at will? Even old Li Jing dare not do that here..." The housekeeper reprimanded loudly.

The scout soldier on the opposite side was the enemy he was looking for after being scolded in front of him like this. He wished he could hack the butler in front of him to death with a knife.

At this time, a weak voice came from the frame: "Housekeeper, don't be rude!

Generals, the old man Cui Junchuo is now galloping back to see the Duke of Wei, so we can't delay here, how can you help me? "

The team was contemplating for a moment, thinking that this old man is also the head of the family anyway, and he can't do anything casually, the commander told him to report back immediately.

"Xiao Wu, quickly report back to the commander-in-chief.

Patriarch Cui, I'm being rude, I'm on military duty, and I'm going to escort you all the way. "

The team is also very strict in its work, sending people to report the news, and I personally follow it.

"It's work!"

Half a day later, when Cui Junchuo's chariot and horses arrived outside Qinghe City, Li Jing's [-] soldiers and horses were already in full formation. In addition, the Cui family in Qinghe City also came to the scene to welcome the Patriarch back home with big gifts.

When the carriages and horses arrived at the station, the butler lifted the curtain of the car, and Cui Junchuo walked down tremblingly, leaning on a cane.

"Old man Cui Junchuo, Patriarch of the Cui Clan, I don't know why Duke Wei is here?" Raising his spirits, Cui Junchuo stood in front of the Cui clan and said to Li Jinglang, at this time the demeanor of the Patriarch of the faction was fully displayed.

Li Jing pressed down a group of generals who were about to step forward behind him, came out to greet him and said: "Cui Junchuo, this commander is here to seek justice for more than 1 dead souls of my Tang veteran army.

You Qinghe Cui clan and Longxi Li clan slaughtered countless bodyguard bureaus in the northern land, and [-]% of them were the places we found for the veterans of the Tang Dynasty, and were slaughtered mercilessly by you.

Today, Ben Shuai brought all the generals here to seek justice from you.

Can you plead guilty without knowing this? "

Cui Junchuo knew it well. He had heard about it as early as in Lu's house. Luoyang caught the victim and made a confession. At the same time, he angered the court and Lvlin. His favorite grandson Cui Jun was assassinated because of this.

Looking up at this moment, the swords and swords of more than 2 troops were unsheathed in the distance, and the murderous aura was overflowing. Hundreds of generals glared at each other, as if they wanted to choose someone to kill, and Li Jing was not far away from a group of captured death row prisoners. Needless to say, these are the people who were caught in Luoyang.

Cui Junchuo smiled desolately, looked back at his brother Cui Junsu, Cui Junsu had tears in his eyes, and sighed softly: "Brother, you are so confused!"

Cui Junchuo shook his head without saying a word, turned around and shouted at Li Jing, "That's right, I, Cui Junchuo, indeed instructed five thousand dead men to do this. It's not wrong for Duke Wei to ask me for it."

"what!!!

Old man dies!

Soldiers, rush up and kill Cui's group of murderers! " Yuchi Gong shouted.

"Wait a minute, the old man confessed to what Duke Wei said, but there is a wrong and a debtor. This matter was done by me, Cui Junchuo and the five thousand dead men. I have nothing to do with others. The people behind me don't know.

The old man can hand over the remaining 1000 people among the murderers, but please ask the Duke of Wei to distinguish right from wrong and let the innocent people behind the old man go. " Cui Junchuo bowed down to Li Jing with a big gift.

Li Jing's old face was full of murderous intent, and he shouted angrily: "As the head of the Cui clan, you led the crowd to commit murder, which is not tolerated by the national law. Although the Cui clan members did not participate, they are bound by the law, and they cannot escape!"

"Mr. Wei, we voluntarily surrendered to the police. Our wives and children are not as bad as we are. Why do we have to force each other so hard?" Cui Junchuo shouted.

The Cui clan behind them was excited, "Patriarch, don't ask these cold-blooded butchers, the Cui clan has no cowards!"

"Shut up, as the patriarch, the old man has the right to make decisions at this time. Don't talk too much about this matter. Anyone who dares to disobey will be expelled from the Cui family." Cui Junchuo shook his crutches and yelled at the clansmen behind him.

Turning around again, he said, "Duke Wei, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, those who kill people and their families will be punished by death. The old man promises you to hand over all the family members related to the murderer to be punished, but please don't slaughter the innocent Cui family today?

All the crimes are due to the obsession of the old man, and I, the head of the family, will bear it alone. I hope the court will read it for the sake of the Cui family's children serving the country for many years. Would you like to leave me a little bit of incense? "

Cui Junchuo actually knelt down directly to Li Jing.

Seeing his elder brother being so humble, Cui Junsu stepped forward angrily, pointed at Li Jing and shouted: "Li Jing, are you really so heartless?

The Cui family has been passed down for thousands of years. For more than ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family's disciples have served the government and protected the people all over the country.

We have already made concessions like this, and you still want to kill them all?

If it is true that you slaughtered all of my Cui family today, there will be chaos in the Cui clan all over the Tang Dynasty in the future, when the whole country will be full of wars, and you, Li Jing, will be the sinner of the entire Tang Dynasty! "

This……

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals fell silent. What the other party said was reasonable, and it was because of this that the aristocratic family could not move lightly.

Although many generals still think that they should not be threatened by this, but Li Jing, as the coach and the right-hand man of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, has been an official for many years, so of course the first thing to weigh is the pros and cons.

"Okay! For the sake of the Cui family and the clan members who are contributing to the country, the old man is lenient today." Li Jinglang said, nodding secretly in his heart, if he can hand over the prisoner's family, it will be all right if he doesn't leave future troubles for Datang The original meaning of the punishment of sitting together - cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots.

"Master, no way!

The Cui family ruthlessly killed our old brothers, we must destroy all of them to rest the souls of our brothers! "Many generals cried and begged.

Li Jing waved his hand to stop the generals, and continued to speak: "Even so, Cui's trip is not tolerated, you should have been strangled in the chaos, but you are innocent, I hope you will make up for it.

Eleven thousand three hundred and sixty-nine people were massacred by the veterans of the Tang Dynasty this time, and many of them still have family members. You must make compensations for their funerals.

In addition to handing over the culprit Cui Junchuo, 360 dead men and their families, 300 nine people, each with [-] taels of silver per family, should be compensated as funeral expenses and pensions.

It's almost impossible to do it, the commander is no longer polite, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are each other's robes, it is only natural to slaughter you Qinghe for revenge today!

As for the chaos in the world?Come anyway, I'll wait half my life on the battlefield, so what if I try to calm down the troubled times again? "

Although Li Jing was old, his pride remained undiminished. At this moment, his spirit was unleashed, and the sound of righteousness reverberated between the heaven and the earth, and many people were shocked by it.

"war!"

Twenty-five thousand Great Tang soldiers and 100 Great Tang generals shouted together.

Cui Junsu complained in his heart, 300 taels per person, and more than 1 people is more than 300 million. It seems that the Cui family will not only lose thousands of lives this time, but also tear down the family and pay for it.
