Lord Jing'an showed a sneer on his face.

"It's very good. The 27 people from Xingyang Zheng's family who came to Beijing to visit relatives all died in this fire. Does the old man think there is any problem?"

Chapter 419

Although the Zheng family in Xingyang no longer has the prestige of the old Northern Zhou Dynasty, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, so it still has more prestige. In addition, the head of the Zheng family is also a well-learned Confucian official, no matter who he is When I saw him, I was very polite.

However, the young man standing in front of him now opened his mouth to utter this merciless threat.

Zheng Gui's face was livid.

He patted the table tremblingly.

"Huang... Li Houye, may I ask what mistakes my Zheng family made and which national law they violated? The old man has done good deeds all his life, and has a good reputation in the court and the opposition. If the old man's family died here for no reason, Just look at the mouth of the world, whether you will forgive me or not!"

He originally wanted to say "yellow-mouthed children", but when he saw the expressionless Li Xin, he was somewhat afraid, so he changed his words.

The old man shook his hands angrily.

"Even today's Son of Heaven will have his holy name tarnished by a sycophant like you!"

Li Xin ignored the clamoring old man, but turned his head and glanced at the twenty or so young men of the Zheng family. These young men were both male and female. A few days ago, they were traveling together in the capital, giving advice, But now, these people are all in a panic, and many of them were directly tied up by Qianniuwei, unable to move.

Li Xin shook his head, then turned to look at Zheng Gui.

"The old man doesn't seem to understand the seriousness of this matter."

"You think that no one knows about your conspiracy, you think that no one knows that you old nobles from the Northern Zhou Dynasty have colluded with Southern Xinjiang and intend to plot rebellion!"

Li Xin sneered and said: "Don't say kill you guys, even if this Marquis rushes to Xingyang to wipe away the prestige of your Zheng family, no one in the capital dares to say a word!"

"I'm not in charge today, otherwise you guys would be at least half dead by now."

Jing'anhou was expressionless, and squatted down in front of a Zheng family girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. After gently wiping the black ash on her face with his sleeve, he revealed a delicate face , and a pair of terrified eyes.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl was trembling and dared not speak.

Li Xin stood up and turned to look at Old Man Zheng with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Mr., these granddaughters of yours are quite pretty. This Marquis will ask you again, where is Li Shen?"

While speaking, his hand was already on the Qingzhi sword in his waist.

The blade gleamed.

Zheng Gui was finally scared.

It is undeniable that some scholars do have backbone, the kind that can make people awe-inspiring, but compared to the proportion, these people are too few, too few. He hasn't suffered any setbacks for many years, but now he sees a young man with a murderous look pressing his sword, ready to kill violently at any time, he is still afraid.

He told himself that he was for these younger generations.

Zheng Gui took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Jing'an, the old man did not see where Li Shen went, but before the fire caught fire that day, Li Shen handed the old man a note, telling the old man to hide in the cellar. I could escape with my life in the cellar, so the old man hid in that cellar with the younger generation of the family."

As he spoke, the old man tremblingly took out a note from his pocket.

"Master Hou, please take a look..."

Li Xin took it, opened it to look, and found that it was indeed Li Shen's handwriting.

The old man should not have lied.

With Li Shen's steady temperament, in order to be safe, he probably wouldn't tell anyone before doing it, even Mrs. Yu might only know about it after the fact. In this case, he would not tell these Zheng's family members.

Therefore, it was normal for the Zheng family not to know where Li Shen was. Li Xin came here to intimidate these poor people, not really to find out where Li Shen was, but to show Emperor Taikang.

You see, you asked me to find someone, and I did.

I just didn't find it.

Jing Anhou put the note into his sleeve, turned around and left without saying a word.

Zheng Gui shouted from behind: "Master Li, why did the people in the court detain us for no reason, please let us out, we have to go back to Xingyang!"

Li Xin stopped, turned around and grinned at the old man.

"Do you still remember, the old man, what did the Marquis say to the old man when he entered Pingnanhou's mansion last time?"

"At that time, Ben Hou told you that since the members of the Zheng family have entered the capital, they will never want to leave."

Li Xin glanced back at the 27 people, and said with a chuckle, "Let Li Shen leave you alone, and you still want to go out of the city, it's just a dream!"

Then he set his sights on the granddaughter of the Zheng family.

"Originally, these beautiful granddaughters of the old man, the Marquis can reluctantly rescue them, but it's a pity..."

Lord Jing'an shook his head, and said in a regretful tone, "It's a pity that I have a fiancée, and the fiancée is still stingy."

The bound Miss Zheng raised her head and glared at Li Xin, then lowered her head in shame.

Li Xin laughed, turned around and was about to leave.

These people will be handed over to Emperor Taikang. If there is no accident, they will have no way to survive. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Emperor Taikang has taken a fancy to these ladies of the Zheng family and sent two of them into the palace. .

The bound Miss Zheng family suddenly yelled.

"Master Li, I know where the person you are looking for is!"

Old man Zheng's face changed, and he turned to look at his granddaughter, his face was full of astonishment.

Obviously, he really didn't know where Li Shen was, and he didn't know why his granddaughter knew.

Li Xin squatted down and took a serious look at the girl.

His tone was calm.

"If you lie to me, I will send you to Jiaofang Division."

Jiaofangsi, in this era, can be said to be a nightmare for women all over the world.

The woman surnamed Zheng trembled with fright when she heard the words. She raised her head and looked at Li Xin, like a frightened little white rabbit meeting a big devil with ferocious minions.

"You, you release my family first, and I'll tell you!"

Lord Jing'an was expressionless.

"How did you say such a naive condition? Benhou will give you ten breaths of time. If you don't say anything else, Benhou will send you to the Jiaofang Division immediately."
