Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 113

After the head of the Li family in Longxi vomited blood because of Li Ke's style and words, everyone in the Li family turned pale with shock.

The surrounding people were even more shocked. They never thought that Li Ke's words were so sharp and elegant, that he could still hurt the head of the Li family.

While everyone was surprised, Li Ke continued to say:

"It's not an exaggeration to call someone like you a profiteer who only seeks profit. How dare you call yourself a Confucian literati? It's really shameful. I'm ashamed to be a literati on the same level as you!"

These few words were equivalent to a critical blow, and fell into the old man's ears, causing him to vomit blood again.

At the same time, he covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Li Ke with the other, trying to say something but couldn't say it.

Seeing this appearance, he was already very angry.

But Li Ke didn't have the slightest intention of showing mercy, and continued to focus on the old man, quoting many saintly words to humiliate the old man.

Listening to Li Ke's every word, the old man seemed to be slashing his body with a knife.

Not long after, as Li Ke's voice fell, the old man remained silent.

The members of the Li family were shocked, and checked their breaths, only to find that the old man had already died, and was pissed to death by Li Ke.

At that moment, all the members of the Li family present felt as if the sky was collapsing.

You know, there is a fifth-class scribe in the family, which means that this family is enough to rank among the top families in a country.

Even the imperial court should be afraid of three points.

It can be said that if these fifth-class scribes are gone, and there are no successors, then the family will quickly decline.

At that time, these Li family members were in a hurry, and some of them looked at Li Ke angrily and wanted to do something.

But when he thought of Li Ke's literary practice comparable to that of the head of the Li family, he didn't dare to go forward.

But Li Ke was like a spectator, with his hands behind his back and a slight smile.

Soon, the movement here attracted the county magistrate of this city.

After the county magistrate arrived, he didn't know the details of the situation. After learning that the head of the Li family was mad at the young man in front of him, he immediately ordered:

"Take him down to me!"

The officers and soldiers quickly surrounded Li Ke.

Li Ke smiled.

Then he looked at the county magistrate, and said lightly:

"Take me down? What's the reason!"

"Hmph, you are mad at the head of the Li family, what reason do you need? Come and take him down."

The county magistrate couldn't help but order directly.

Li Ke frowned, raised his hand, and shook his internal force, sending the officers and soldiers flying.

Immediately, Li Ke glared at the county magistrate and scolded:
"You are an official of the imperial court, why do you want to be the dog of that family?"

The county magistrate was frightened, and then said angrily:

"What family's dog? Boy, they are from the Li family in Longxi. If you offend them, even the imperial court will not be able to protect you!"

Li Ke smiled sullenly, then touched the Xingxi seal from his body, and said lightly:
"So, can I protect myself?"

The county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, then took a closer look at the emperor's seal.

Then, his complexion changed drastically, his legs softened, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Li Ke snorted coldly and said, "Do you still recognize me? Oh, I thought you only recognized the aristocratic family, not the imperial court!"

The county magistrate turned pale with fright.

Although the emperor has changed hands now, Li Ke's reputation has made countless people terrified.

An emperor who took down the Tang country with a strong force, an emperor with thunderous methods and unfathomable strength.

How can they not be afraid of these officials?
The whole body of the county magistrate was trembling, he knew that he was basically finished.

It depends on whether Li Ke will be merciful and save his life!
At this moment, everyone in the Li family and the common people realized that the young man in front of him was the new master of this country.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Ordinary people knelt down and shouted long live.

Everyone in the Li family looked at Li Ke, and seemed to be a little unconvinced, even if Li Ke was the emperor.

Seeing this scene, Li Ke knew that these aristocratic families were already too rampant, so they were more than defiant?He literally put himself above everything else.

This strengthened his determination to have these families perish.

So he said lightly:
"I swear an oath here today, and I will definitely make the family no longer exist at the fastest speed!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

He didn't think about dealing with these Li family members now, nor did he think about dealing with the county magistrate now.

He is the emperor, and most of the time, he doesn't need to be so anxious.

All of this can be dealt with after he returns to the palace.

Taking Jin Yan and Li Ke with him to the county seat, Li Ke went straight back to Chang'an.

There are still some days before moving the capital.

During this period of time, what Li Ke has to do is to destroy the family.

He first ordered people to thoroughly investigate the five surnames and Qiwang, as well as some excessive actions of some other aristocratic families.

Then it was ordered that officials in various places to protect the aristocratic family should strictly deal with it in one fell swoop.

The previous county magistrate was the first to be unlucky and was directly arrested by Dali Temple.

After a few days.

Li Yong gave Li Ke one by one.

It records all kinds of violations of laws and disciplines of various aristocratic families and clans in their locations.

What is causing harm to one party, what is robbing civilian women, what is colluding with officials, what is ignoring human life...

In short, because of their status and power, these aristocratic families have done countless things that are outrageous and unreasonable.

After Li Ke saw it, he became even more angry.

But Li Yong reminded: "Your Majesty, the family is deeply rooted and powerful. If you want to deal with it forcefully, it may be very difficult."

Li Ke sneered: "Zhen, I have my own way!"
