"Family heads, how have you been?"
"Today, it's so complete.”
Pei Ji smiled and cupped his hands towards the Li Clan's Old Patriarch and the others.
"Oh, it's Xuan Zhen."
"What brings you here today?”
"The Imperial Court is currently in a troubled period. Aren't you busy?”
"Quick, look at the tea."
When Old Master Li saw Pei Ji, he waved his hand and gestured for him to sit down.
Although the Pei family of the east of the river wasn't listed among the five surnames and seven hopes, they couldn't be underestimated. They were the top families!
He had once led the aristocratic families with the Wang family of Langya. At that time, the status of these two families was similar to the current five surnames and seven Wangs. It could be said that they were very prosperous for a time.
They had risen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, experienced the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and had been passed down until now. They were also a clan with an incomparably deep foundation.
"Hahaha, Brother Li, the Imperial Court is troubled, but to Brother Pei, it doesn't matter.”
"The disaster is serious now, but the imperial court doesn't have food. Even if we want to be busy, we can't.”
Old Master Lu joked.
Pei Ji nodded and sat down. He took a sip of tea and smiled. Then, he changed the topic and directly mentioned Li Shi Min.
"Patriarch Li, patriarchs, you're all here waiting for the second son of the Li family, right?”
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows and said.
Old Master Li nodded.
"That's right!"
"Xuan Zhen, how is it? Was the Imperial Court about to collapse? When is Erlang of the Li family planning to come?”
"Outside Chang 'an, many disaster victims have gathered. Li Shiming won't be able to survive today.”
Old Master Cui narrowed his eyes."Brother Xuan Zhen, did you get some news? The second son of the Li family is coming?"
Pei Ji took another sip of tea and glanced around. His words were slightly bitter.
"Come?"
"If he didn't have food, he would definitely come today.”
"However, Patriarch Li, we were wrong this time.”
"Everyone, there's no need to wait. He won't be able to come.”
As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent.
Old Master Li's confident smile gradually disappeared and was replaced by a frown.
" What happened?!"
"What do you mean if he doesn't have food? He definitely doesn't have any food!"
" Why not?!!!"
Old Master Li immediately asked.
Today, they were all prepared to meet Li Shiming.
They had also thought of the next step, the plan of the noble families to completely control the world!
But you actually told me that you're not coming?
"It's very simple. It's because the second son of the Li family has food.”
"Countless grains."
"According to him, his food is more than all the food of our noble families combined!”
Pei Ji shook his head.
Old Master Li choked in disbelief.
The gazes of Old Master Lu and the other six stared at Pei Ji in unison.
His eyes widened like copper bells, flickering with disbelief!
How was this possible?
The aristocratic families held almost all the food that could be circulated in the market!!!
He was an emperor, how could he compete with him?
They had seen all the expenses and income of the imperial court in the past three years. It was clear that there was not a single grain in the national treasury.
Now, you're telling me that he has more than all of us combined!
Do you think we are idiots?
"This…What is going on?”
"Impossible! That's impossible!"
"Our grain reserves are unparalleled in the world. Even if you beat the second son of the Li family to death, it's impossible for us to take out our grain!!!”
Old Master Li's words were still extremely conclusive.
Pei Ji smiled bitterly.
"Sigh…"
"I thought it was impossible before, but the Li family's second son piled all the food on the city wall.”
"Not only that, just now, for some reason, he even took out the Imperial Jade Seal.”
"Right now, the Li family's Erlang has completely controlled the situation!”
Pei Ji briefly told them what had just happened.
Instantly, the hall fell silent.
Those top-grade Western Region dancers were also panicking.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
They didn't know what had happened.
She was fine just now, why did she suddenly…
It was also at this moment that the Li family's butler hurriedly walked in from outside the door and respectfully handed an envelope to Old Master Li.
Old Master Li opened it and his expression changed!
What was recorded on it was exactly the same as what Pei Ji had said.
Instantly, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Impossible!"
"What's going on?"
"How could he, Erlang of the Li family, have so much food!”
"Wei Manor's private stash?"
"What the hell is this?!”
Old Master Li was dumbfounded.
He was really dumbfounded.
He had never encountered such information in his life.
The intelligence report also said that these grains came from the King of Wei's private savings. Zhangsun Wuji had said it himself.
What a big mistake!
Private savings?
A twelve-year-old child's private savings exceeded the sum of the family?
Believe your head.
Do you really think we don't have brains?
Everyone read the letter in turn and fell silent.
"Zhangsun Wuji told me about this secret stash! It was just that the authenticity of this was still to be verified.”
"I think Zhangsun Wuji was just joking at that time. The real origin should have been ordered by the Li family's second son to keep it a secret.”
Pei Ji said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Lu almost jumped up.
"Definitely!"
"Is there a need to think about it?"
"If a child's private savings are more than ours, did our family eat shit all these years? Can't even compare to a child? That's impossible!"
"Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe it!”
Everyone was silent.
She didn't know what to say.
If it wasn't private money, then what was it? How did Li Shi Min do it?
Damn it!
So all his excitement for so many days was for nothing?
The other party had already come up with a countermeasure and had sent him flying in circles. He was still acting like a fool, fantasizing that the other party would come and beg him.
"Hiss…"
"Investigate!"
"This matter must be investigated clearly."
Old Master Li gave the order, his voice incomparably cold.
He was in a mess.
He had thought that everything was under his control, but now it seemed that he had thought too much.
What was going on?
It shouldn't be!
Things that should have been set in stone had changed.
Damn it!
Caught off guard.
They were all caught off guard.
"Erlang of the Li family, could it be that someone is helping him?”Pei Ji muttered to himself.
However, no one answered him.
The group of people fell silent.
