Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Wang Zhao wanted to refute, but he didn't dare.

But Liu Li really thought about it. He felt that since he had promised to do it, he had to show some energy now.

The matter of repentance can only be discussed after leaving the Cui Mansion.

In front of Cui Jin, what should be shown should still be shown, and he should not be allowed to see any clues.

"The imperial examination system established by the Supreme Emperor is obviously aimed at the gentry, and now the matter of water transportation is just a good opportunity to suppress the gentry."

Liu Li was shocked when he thought of this.

This is a very frightening question to think about carefully. The Supreme Emperor is in power, and the matter must be investigated to find out. He will even be more ruthless than Emperor Yongping.

They framed this matter on this person, and the matter will also be found out to the family behind him.

The final result can only be to return without success.

Will the Supreme Emperor stop there?
The answer is obviously no.

Since they are all gentry, many things will be carefully investigated. Does this person commit crimes in Qinghe have anything to do with the local gentry?
He can think of this, and the Supreme Emperor must also think of it.

As a result, the Cui family will still be strictly investigated.

There is still the possibility of things being revealed.

Thinking of this, Liu Li broke out in cold sweat behind his back.

"So Uncle Cui also thought of this, and wants to do it once and for all?"

Liu Li had vaguely guessed what Cui Rong was thinking.

Wang Zhao was a little puzzled when he heard that Liu Li's attitude changed 180 degrees after he only said one sentence.

His mind is not as flexible as Liu Li's.

"Brother Liu, what exactly does this mean?"

At this time Liu Li was very anxious to know the answer, while Cui Jin nodded and explained:

"The Supreme Emperor will not let this matter go. Qinghe can still be found from Xu Wei, and we are still not out of danger."

After speaking, he looked at Liu Li and continued:

"Uncle doesn't just mean that. If it succeeds, we gentry can go one step further."

"With the emperor as the bargaining chip in his hand, the whole world is ours."

Liu Li's mind is active, and Cui Jin is not in a hurry, giving him enough time to digest.

During this period, in Liu Li's muttering, Wang Zhao finally understood the nature of the matter.

But he didn't think much about it, Liu Li had everything to do, he just had to follow Liu Li to make the decision.

During half a stick of incense, Liu Li took a deep breath.

He already had a plan in mind, and said:

"This matter concerns the nobles all over the world. If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell!"

There was a flash of appreciation in Cui Jin's eyes, and he could see the firmness in Liu Li's eyes.

Liu Li also felt that his decision this time had nothing to do with Cui Jin's threat. If he and Cui Jin switched positions, he might make the same choice.

He also understood that Cui Jin didn't kill them immediately because he needed them.

But no matter what, they saved their lives, and it also saved Liu's life.

Seeing this, Wang Zhao understood, and said:

"me too."

Seeing the attitudes of the two, Cui Jin did not hide anything, and said straightforwardly:
"We only have one chance. If we fail, there is only one end. So, you should know what to do?"

Liu Li nodded, and said with firm eyes:

"Thank you Brother Cui for saving your life. No fourth person will know about this matter."

Wang Zhao nodded in agreement.

Then Wang Zhao asked suspiciously:
"Uncle Cui said in the letter that we need to train Xu Wei, but how can we ensure that he can be obedient?"

Liu Li also felt that this matter was a little difficult. It was not easy to make a big son willingly be a puppet.

"Xu Wei is also from a noble family. He doesn't need fame at all. I'm afraid the same is true for Yinliang. How should we start?"

Facing the inquiries from the two, Cui Jin seemed very confident.

"Don't worry about that. We'll get to know each other early tomorrow morning."

"The more you understand, the more you will understand."

That night, in order to ensure that they would not go back on their word, Wang Zhao and Liu Li consciously lived in Cui's residence.

Early the next morning, the three of them walked together and came to the utility room in the backyard.

Pushing open the door, they saw Xu Wei sitting upright waiting, as if they knew he was coming.

"Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look as usual."

Cui Jin circled around with a smile on his face. Except for Xu Wei, they all looked at each other coldly and were very satisfied in their hearts.

"Thanks to the food at Brother Cui's house, it really makes people linger."

Xu Maogong's words did not fluctuate in any way, and this remark was also a pun.

The meals delivered by the Cui Mansion in the past few days are really good, and they are all delicious.

Cui Jin heard the implication, he used breakfast to daze several people and brought them here.

"Brother Xu doesn't seem to be curious at all, why should I keep you in the mansion?"

Cui Jin finally asked the question he was concerned about.

Judging from the guard's report, in the past few days, what Xu Wei did most was insults and threats.

There was no doubt why Cui Jin did this.

Before, he thought that Xu Wei was the emperor, and he knew about Cui's affairs, so it was normal for him not to ask.

It's different now, knowing that Xu Wei is not the person he thought, something is wrong.

A son of a rich family, who travels abroad, doesn't have much contact with him, and is not an enemy, so he is a normal person who imprisoned him well, so he should be suspicious.

"You use this method to imprison me, either to seek revenge, or to rob my house."

Xu Maogong said it as a matter of course.

Cui Jin nodded, thinking it made sense.

Xu Maogong added another sentence:
"But your family background, I believe it is the third type."

"Oh? Talk about it."

Cui Jin became interested.

"Although my Xu family is a noble family, it is not as good as the Cui family. It was not possible to seek revenge at that time."

Xu Maogong said slowly.

Cui Jin nodded, he caught a key message from it, Xu Wei's family is not as powerful as the Cui family.

Not to mention seeking revenge, it means the distance is remote.

Because if there is any enmity between the gentry, the big will suppress the small at that time, and if there is a conflict between the two families, the Cui family will also use thunder to destroy it.

The Cui family's status in the court is not low, and if they want to suppress the Xu family, no matter how far away they are, it can also be reflected through the court.

And when Xu Wei first came here, he didn't get along with Cui Jin much, and it was impossible for Cui Jin to find out the family behind him by virtue of this.

If you can't find it, it means that the distance is remote.

"In this way, it is even more impossible to rob the house. The Cui family may not be able to value Xu's family property."

"If it's neither, Brother Cui must be trying to make me take the blame, right?"

After Xu Maogong finished speaking, Wang Zhao and Liu Li behind Cui Jin were shocked.

This person is so good that he can guess their original purpose based on these alone.

If I let him know more information, I think the purpose of coming this time can also be deduced.

Cui Jin clapped his hands, his expression half happy and half worried;
"You're making it difficult for me."

"I like dealing with smart people, but I don't like people who are too smart."
