Looking at the county magistrate in front of him, Li Wenbin frowned.

"County Cui, what do you mean, let my tens of thousands of horses spend the night on the mountain outside the county seat tonight?"
The chief of a small county is the county magistrate, who is from the sixth rank; only the head of a large county is the county magistrate, and the official rank is from the fifth rank.

The army arrived at a small county on the edge of Boling County. Although the county magistrate here was also from the Cui family of Boling, his official rank was much lower.

But even such a small official from the sixth rank is quite arrogant to Li Wenbin and Wei Zheng and other important officials in the court, treating them as if they were looking at a group of barbarians.

The county magistrate's name is Cui Liang, and he bowed perfunctorily and said:
"That's right, Chief Chief. My Ningqi County is really not big, and it simply cannot accommodate the Chief Chief's [-] troops."
"Our land here is barren, and we really can't afford so much food and grass to support, so I ask the chief manager to be considerate of the people and not to harass the local area."
According to the Tang system, military supplies are provided by the prefectures and counties where they are stationed, that's why Cui Liang said this.

After hearing his words, Hou Junji involuntarily pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

A mere official from the sixth rank has such courage to be so indifferent to the chief commander of the army who holds a military and political power.

It seems that all the local officials in Boling County have been controlled by Cui's family, otherwise they would not even be looking for death.

"Lu Guogong, put your hands down, don't look like this." Unexpectedly, Li Wenbin was not angry at all, "We are all civilized people, and we can't be as knowledgeable as this kind of barbarians from the North, do you understand?"
"Yes, Chief Steward."
Hou Junji was amused when he heard this, he knew that this bad, smoldering His Royal Highness King Qin must be going to do something wrong again.

Although the head was saved temporarily, Cui Liang's nose was almost crooked: Northern barbarian?Who gave you the courage to say such things?

If my members of the Boling Cui family are barbarians from the North, then what is your Li family whose pedigree is unclear?
Although the Guanlong Li family is an imperial family, its status in the gentry circle is far inferior to that of other powerful families.

The most important point is that everyone thinks that the Li family has the blood of the Hu people, and they cannot be compared with the purebred Han people like them.

Despite the fact that there are so many people worshiping foreigners and foreign countries, in the Han and Tang Dynasties, Han chauvinism was absolutely dominant.

Han people are more noble than you Hu people, and the lives of Han people are more valuable than your Hu people's lives.

If someone really dared to shout something like equality, they would probably be treated like a lunatic-and there would be no sympathy.

It is because of this kind of thinking that even the Guanlong Li family who won the world failed to become a first-rate family in the gentry circle.

It wasn't until later that Li Shimin forcibly revised the clan annals and designated the Li family as the first class, the later patriarch Sun's as the second class, and the Cui family as the third class, and then suppressed the arrogance of the powerful family.

But at this time, the real nobles are very proud, so it is no wonder that Cui Liang is so angry.

"Why, does County Magistrate Cui think that what the chief executive said is wrong?"
Li Wenbin was also very surprised - don't care what he thinks in his heart, at least that's what he showed on his face.

"The general manager of this university is ordered to be in charge of the military and political power of Hebei Road. On the ground of Hebei Road, this general manager is the largest. You are a sixth-rank official and a county magistrate, and you dare to be so arrogant to the general manager. What do you say? It's a barbarian from the North, what's wrong?"
"I don't know the laws of the court, I don't respect the dignity, just like those Xi people and Khitan people. If this is not a barbarian from the north, then the chief executive really doesn't know what it is. Could it be..."
Li Wenbin suddenly smiled: "The ancestors of the county magistrate Cui had a marriage with the Xi people or the Khitan people?"
What he said was extremely sinister, it was like pointing at Cui Liang's nose and saying that he was a bastard.

"you!"
Originally, the Cui family's strategy was to treat him indifferently. No matter how provocative Li Wenbin was, he couldn't give the other party a reason to make trouble, but now Cui Liang couldn't bear it anymore.

If you are vague, wouldn't it be tantamount to acquiescing to the other party's words?

How could Cui Liang, who was always proud of his bloodline, tolerate such a thing?

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, please be careful! Although a certain is just a county magistrate, he is also from a famous family. The Cui family of Boling will not allow others to slander like this!"
If you say I'm a bastard, it's tantamount to scolding our entire Boling Cui family. You can't accept such consequences!

Hearing this, Li Wenbin smiled contemptuously: "Are you from the Boling Cui family? The manager wants to know, how many guards does your Boling Cui family have?"
This is the countermeasure Li Wenbin, Wei Zheng, Hou Junji, and Zhang Liang set up—a scholar meets a soldier, and there is no reason to explain it.

You say that you have a noble family and a heirloom of poems and books, but do you rely on poems and books or your words to resist big soldiers like me?
"Come here, tie up this incomprehensible, ignorant sesame mung bean official to the chief executive."
"Here!"
Several big soldiers rushed over like wolves and tigers, pushed Cui Liang to the ground, and gave him a horseshoe like a horse.

Cui Liang let out a scream like killing a pig: "Li Wenbin, you dare to treat me like this, you will not end well!"
"Wait a minute!"
Stopping the sergeant's movements, Li Wenbin came to Cui Liang and looked at him condescendingly: "Oh? What the county magistrate Cui said made the chief executive very interested. I don't know how the county magistrate Cui or your Boling Cui family will let you The chief executive didn't end well."
"You are insulting gentleness. Scholars in the world will know your evil deeds soon. At that time, you will be reviled by thousands of people!"
"And then? Any more?"
Cui Liang looked at Li Wenbin panting heavily, and then he remembered that the other party was not afraid of such a threat at all.

If it was someone else, being scolded by those scholars would only cause a headache, but Li Wenbin is not afraid.

He has thousands of catties of potatoes per mu, and articles like the Three Character Classic, which are praised by Mr. Yan Zhitui. Those scholars who want to scold him must think clearly before opening their mouths. Do you have any? this qualification.

It is almost impossible to slander Li Wenbin among the common people.

To save millions of people from the threat of starvation, to destroy the Turks and reclaim the grasslands, which one is not a great contribution to heaven?
It's fine if it's an ordinary person, but almost all the people in the Tang Dynasty know what kind of person Li Wenbin, the King of Qin, is.

What do you mean by jumping out now and saying he is a vile person?
Are you jealous of King Qin's achievements?
Yes, it must be so!
