In this way, the three of them left the house, and the informant waiting at the gate led the three of them to meet the new elder of the Lei family.
Inn, private room.
It seems that the Chamber of Commerce has just experienced a war and is still undergoing repairs, so we can only meet here.
As soon as the three of them entered the wing, Lei Ming looked shocked and swallowed unconsciously. It was obvious that he was very afraid of the family elder in the room.
The family elder in the seat seemed to know that the person coming was Lei Ming, but he just glanced at him with disdain.
"This junior is called Lu Shiba, and he is the new Minister of Household Affairs of the Qiu Kingdom. This one is called Geng Nian, and he is the commander of the Royal Guards of the Qiu Palace. This time he is accompanying this junior to inspect various major cities. As for the other one, I think I will need more from this junior.
Let’s talk about it.” Li Xiaotian introduced politely.
This elder of the Lei family, as Lei Ming said, has extraordinary cultivation ability. This posture and aura feel stronger than those in Geng Nian.
"This is the twelfth elder of our Lei family..."
As soon as Lei Ming took the initiative to introduce me, the twelve elders scolded: "Did I ask you to introduce me?"
Lei Ming shivered with fright, like a child who had done something wrong, and remained silent.
"Trash is trash. After all these years, it has not made any progress at all." The twelfth elder scolded him mercilessly.
Li Xiaotian and Geng Nian were puzzled by what they heard and were a little confused. Their tempers were so bad. No wonder Lei Ming looked timid.
"That's what father taught you," Lei Ming said cowardly.
This twelfth elder of the Lei family is Lei Ming's biological father, Lei Zhenhu.
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaotian and Geng Nian looked at each other in shock. The two of them had a father-son relationship, so the conversation just now was excusable.
Lei Zhenhu was furious when he looked at Lei Ming's face, and said angrily: "Did I ask you to tell others about our relationship?"
If a person dislikes you, you may even breathe wrongly.
This sentence is perfect for Lei Ming now.
Can this also be used as an excuse?
It seems that there is an unpleasant story between the father and son.
Li Xiaotian thought to himself, and He Gengnian looked at him with pity, as if to say, it's not that we don't help you, it's just that your father's cultivation is too advanced.
"I remember that Lei's Chamber of Commerce clearly stipulates that you are not allowed to participate in political affairs. You are not a good member of the Chamber of Commerce, but you are running around with these two important officials of the court. Are you knowingly guilty?" Lei Zhenhu asked.
Under the pressure of Lei Zhenhu's lust, Lei Ming didn't know how to respond for a while. He was like a mute. He was very different from his usual chatterbox, as if he had become a different person.
Li Xiaotian couldn't bear Lei Zhenhu's dismissal of Lei Ming like this, so he explained: "Brother Lei Ming has not participated in political affairs. To be honest, I am inspecting major cities and towns this time to fight against corruption and promote integrity. I have collected too much stolen money along the way."
, so I suggested that Brother Lei Ming follow the collection. He is only responsible for collecting and selling stolen money and has never participated in political affairs."
Lei Zhenhu snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Li Xiaotian's initiative to help Lei Ming to rescue him, and asked solemnly: "Lu Shangshu, did I ask you?"
After asking this question, in order to give Li Xiaotian a show of strength, Lei Zhenhu released Yuan Ya and stared at him intently.
Li Xiaotian only felt that the air pressure around him was rising rapidly, just like the feeling of ordinary people going to the plateau for the first time. He was a little breathless. Even so, facing Lei Zhenhu's direct gaze, Li Xiaotian calmly met his eyes, although there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Risk, but without blinking an eye, he has never seen any big storms, from the first shopkeeper of Yunzhongyun Inn, to Feijian General Yu Zhiqiu, to the shopkeeper of Suiran Inn, and to the unknown strong man in the mountain range, to
My master, Mulinsen, and finally Yang Qianren, which one is not higher in cultivation than Lei Zhenhu?
Lei Zhenhu can only suppress him with his cultivation, and that's all. If he wants to suppress him with his aura, Lei Zhenhu is far from qualified.
Huh?
Lei Zhenhu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Li Xiaotian dared to look at him. Not only did he show no timidity, but his eyes were also sharp. You must know that there are not many people in the Tongmai class who can be so calm and composed in the face of his sharp gaze.
.
At this moment, Geng Nian put his hand on Li Xiaotian, and the feeling of restraint immediately disappeared.
Li Xiaotian took a breath, coughed, and said: "Elder Lei, if you are not here to deal with the problem today, but to go to Zhang Dafa, I have official duties to attend to, so I will have to refuse to accompany you."
"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. No wonder you can become the Minister of the Ministry of Finance at such a young age." Lei Zhenhu commented, took a sip of wine, and then said: "Let's continue the topic just now. You said that he was involved in political affairs, so what happened this time?
How do you explain it? It is said that I know that it was only the three of you who joined forces to kill Lei Yu, and Lei Ming, where did you get Lei Yunzi?"
Even Lei Yunzi knew about it. It seemed that an employee of the Chamber of Commerce who was not involved in the fight told him the details of the fight after seeing it.
"Elder Lei's words are wrong." Li Xiaotian replied. In terms of cultivation, he was indeed crushed, but in terms of verbal battles, with his three-inch tongue, he has not suffered a loss yet. He paused and began to perform his tongue skills: "
First of all, this Lei Yu was not killed by us. He cut off his heart and died after defeat, which is a suicide. If you don't believe it, you can open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. Secondly, I have obtained reliable evidence that Youzhou Prefecture Mu and Lei Yu colluded.
I discovered a gold mine but did not report it to the court. I mined it privately and used cruel methods to get free labor. Brother Lei Ming just watched from the beginning to the end. In the end, it was Lei Yu who got the news and knew that I had discovered the gold mine. Therefore, I commissioned
Brother Lei Ming invited us to dinner on the pretext that he wanted to get to know each other. Unexpectedly, the wine was poisoned. Fortunately, we saw through it and we escaped. However, Lei Yu refused to give up and pretended that he had forbidden drugs, so he forcibly raised his cultivation level to
In the middle stage of pill condensation, Fan Tong, the shepherd of Youzhou Prefecture, also took the forbidden medicine given by him, and suddenly transformed from an ordinary person to a peak monk at the eighth level of Tongmai. The two of them were bound to bury the three of us in the Chamber of Commerce in order to survive.
The three of us fought hard. After Lei Ming and I dragged off the forbidden medicine until the potion wore off and killed Fan Tong, Lei Yu used your Lei family's banned technique, the Blood Knife Technique, but it was too powerful. In desperation, Lei Ming used
Lei Yunzi, we were saved from this disaster."
"This is how the whole thing happened. To be honest, we are the victims. The victim killed the assailant, which was completely self-defense. Furthermore, Brother Lei was forced to join forces with us for a short period of time and participate in political affairs. It is completely nonsense.
talk."
Telling facts and presenting evidence, Li Xiaotian refuted Lei Zhenhu's doubts one by one with a long and watertight argument.
Being able to fight back so flawlessly in front of a strong man, Lei Ming immediately cast a look of disdain on Li Xiaotian.
He had nothing to say for daring to refute him in front of a strong man. Geng Nian only thought that Li Xiaotian was a fool who was not afraid of tigers.
