The Fear of the Nobles
Shandong, Zheng family residence.
The heads of the five largest aristocratic families in Shandong were gathered in the Zheng family's meeting hall. All of them had gloomy expressions on their faces and did not say a word.
They had already received the news from the people they had sent out.
The young man sent by Li Shi Min was capable of creating the Heavenly Punishment. The bandits on the Thunderclap Mountain did not dare to resist and had already surrendered. The remaining rations on the Thunderclap Mountain were not found by that young man.
"Brother Zheng, do you think that kid really knows how to create Tian Fa?”Master Cui wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked softly.
The Zheng Family Head laughed coldly. He did not believe in the so-called heavenly punishment at all. In the past few years, had the bandits of the Thunderclap Mountain not done enough bad things?
If there was really a heavenly punishment, it would have come long ago. Why did it have to wait until now?
"Brother Cui, since when did you believe in ghosts and gods?”The Zheng Family Head didn't say anything, but the Wang Family Head stood up and said.
"If it wasn't Tian Fa, what could it be that could instantly injure more than three hundred people and kill more than two hundred? Other than this reason, I don't understand anything else.”The head of the Cui family spoke out the fear in his heart.
After the head of Cui Clan finished his words, everybody became stunned.
According to the information they received, Lin Fei had only sent 50 soldiers to throw two black things into the village. The others stood far away and did not participate in the battle.
In other words, Lin Fei had only sent 50 people to capture the stronghold guarded by more than 1,000 people. Moreover, no one was injured. More than 200 bandits in the stronghold had died and more than 300 were injured.
This battle record was too exaggerated. The head of Cui Family felt that this was not something an ordinary person could do. Therefore, he was afraid.
Being influenced by the head of Cui Clan, the others also felt more and more scared as fine sweat started to appear on their foreheads.
" Hmph!" At this moment, the Zheng Family Head suddenly snorted coldly." So what if it's Tian Fa? This is a good opportunity. If we give up, our descendants will be inferior to Guan Long and the others. Do you want to see this?”
Ever since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he had divided the surnames of the world into three classes. The Guanlong Group was ranked first, while the Shandong aristocratic families, as legitimate aristocratic families, could only be ranked second. How could they be willing to accept this?
Therefore, when they saw the locust plague, they thought it was an opportunity to force Li Shiming to list them as the first class of the aristocratic families.
The plan had been going well, but now, Lin Fei had suddenly appeared and ruined their plan. How could they be willing to accept this?
However, so what if they were unwilling? Lin Fei had something like Heavenly Punishment in his hands, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing that the four of them had no intention of speaking, the Zheng family head could only continue,"I know you're scared. To be honest, I'm scared too, but we've already done what we've done. If we give up now, not only will we not get any benefits, we might even face a huge disaster.”
Seeing that the four of them had made a move, the Zheng family head laughed in his heart. Aren't you afraid? Then I'll make you even more afraid and force you to follow me.
" We have no way out now. Think about it, Li Shiming knows that we are involved in this. If we retreat, what awaits us is a big knife. We can only wait for Li Shiming to retreat. Only when he does so will we have a chance."”
"I don't believe that Li Shiming would disregard the lives of 100,000 people. So, this time, we're competing with Li Shiming. Whoever can last until the end wins.”
Seeing the four family heads nod their heads, the Zheng family head finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these four families would run away at the last minute. If that was the case, the Zheng family would definitely be the most miserable.
At this moment, the head of the Cui family suddenly said,""How should we deal with Lin Fei?"
After the great truth, the real problem came.
