Chapter 114 goes astray
Li’s house and Jishan Hall are brightly lit.
Li Chengshi sat in the middle, his white hair was particularly eye-catching under the red candle. Two cold lights ejaculated in his deep eyes, and he roared: "A group of waste, thousands of people can't catch anyone. If anyone is interested in my head one day, I'm afraid I will just pick it up."
Jiang Jian stood behind his master Chen Hongming, and his face showed a look of insult. As a guest of the villa, his master and apprentice bear the responsibility of protecting the safety of the villa. The words of the master Li family were simply slapped his master and apprentice in the face.
The old man's forehead was blue, and his head was still buzzing, and there was still a sound. Hearing Master Li Cheng's anger, Chen Hongming bowed and said, "Brother Li, Chen is ashamed and did not investigate for a moment, so that he let the thief escape. Brother Li Don't worry, as long as the thief dares to step into the villa, I will tell him that there will be no return."
Mr. Li Cheng's expression calmed down and said, "Brother Chen, don't blame me. I'm angry for a moment. Please forgive me for any inappropriate words. Nephew Jiang, have you met the thief, have you seen the person coming clearly?"
"He is six feet away, and he is not old, probably less than thirty years old. He can't see his appearance clearly with black and gray on his face. According to his claim to be surnamed Qi, he mistakenly entered the village." Jiang Jian recalled.
The Li family has been in business for more than 300 years, and becoming one of the top ten families is naturally indispensable. Li Chengshi quickly recalled the enemy surnamed Qi in his mind, but unexpectedly.
All the important figures of the Li family in the house came. Chen Hongming stood up and said, "I still need to rest. If Brother Li doesn't have any instructions, Chen will leave."
He took Jiang Jian out of the door. Before he could leave the yard, he heard the roar of Li Chengshi in the house again. It seemed that the thief in the village really made Li Chengshi very angry. Who was it? Chen Hongming passed the masters he knew in his mind. There were not many masters under thirty, and they were not like those who came tonight.
Jiang Jian even mentioned several people and was denied, saying, "Master, the elites of various sects will hear more or less. If you don't know this person, you shouldn't be a person in the martial arts world."
The master and apprentice looked at each other, and their eyes were shocked. If it weren't for the people in the world, there was only one possibility, Long Wei.
Taking advantage of Master Li Cheng’s drinking water, Li Mingde said: “I’m afraid it’s not an ordinary thief to defeat Master Chen Hongming. When did my Li family provoke such a person?”
"Bang", Li Chengshi poked the teacup heavily and said with a heavy expression: "The people in the world are not scary, they are nothing more than money. I can get him paid by giving him some money. I'm afraid that the Longwei has come."
"Ah," exclaimed everywhere. Li Chengshi said angrily: "Look at your bear-like appearance, it's not your turn to beheaded. You are bullying men and women on weekdays and are heroes. At critical moments, you can't wait to shrink your head into your crotch and make me angry."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Chengwei bravely advised: "Brother, you can't blame them. The Li family has been calm for decades, and everyone was caught off guard and was confused for a while."
Master Li Cheng sighed, waved his hand powerlessly, and said, "Saint Saint Zeng said: Born in distress, died in peace, my Li family has been happy for too long. If this disaster can be avoided, it may be an opportunity for the family to revive."
After looking at the family's descendants, Li Chengshi ordered tiredly: "Except for the third brother, Mingde and Mingxing, everyone else will go back to rest. Use more snacks, don't just think about eating, drinking and playing with women. The Li family has collapsed, and you may not even have to eat."
Everyone bowed in chaos and left, and the Jishan Hall became quiet.
"Come on strong tea." Mr. Li Cheng ordered. The brown tea was bitter when he entered his mouth, and Mr. Li Cheng felt a little refreshed.
Looking at his third brother and two sons beside him, Li Chengshi's eyes reappeared in cold light and said coldly: "Tonight's incident has sounded a wake-up call for the Li family. Many aristocratic families have died over hundreds of years. The Zhang family members of Yitian are now pulling carts for people on the streets. If this hurdle cannot be overcome, the decline of my Li family will not be far away."
"Brother, it's not that. He's just a thief. In my opinion, it's probably just a few people stealing some money."
"Idiot, if you are a thief who steals things, why do you come to Jishantang for? You don't know that all the important things of the Li family are placed in Heshantang. The thief who can defeat Chen Hongming may not have been born yet."
Li Chengwei was scolded and bowed his head without saying a word. Li Mingde said in horror: "Father, is it really as you guessed that the person from the Dragon Guard came?"
"Eighty-most certainly won't be wrong."
The hall was silent, and the heavy breathing sound was particularly clear.
With a "clang" sound, the souls of several people were recalled. Li Chengshi stood up, his head was covered with white hair, and he roared like an old lion: "Look at your souls, I'm afraid the Li family will be over if I die. Mingde, you disappoint me so much. How can I feel at ease to hand over the Li family to you with such courage?"
Li Mingde knelt down on the ground and said, "Don't calm down, be careful of his health. The child is not timid, but just thinking about how to deal with it."
"Let me tell me." Li Chengshi sat back on the chair and signaled Li Mingde to get up. Li Mingxing hurriedly stepped forward and helped his brother up. The old man was dissatisfied with his elder brother. Li Mingxing was both surprised and happy. Perhaps he was not completely hopeless to become the head of the Li family.
Li Mingde said with a gloomy face: "If my father guessed it was true, then the Li family must not sit or wait for death. My father said that it was no longer appropriate to wait for it. I asked my father to write a letter to Mingxing and Mingyi, let them contact other aristocratic families, speak out in the court, and strive to get the emperor to take back the decree. At worst, let the Qing Zhan envoy return to the capital before the New Year."
Mr. Li Cheng nodded and said, "I will send someone to deliver the letter tomorrow."
"The court launched the mobilization, and the states could not wait. Let the clans spread rumors that the Qing dynasty was intended to increase taxes and taxes, and strive for people to cause trouble everywhere, so that the counties could not investigate the land. If the operation was good, Yu Zhijie would be demoted if he was afraid that he would not be promoted. If he could get rid of this plague god, the land would become empty talk in the court."
Li Mingxing is Tong'er's father, and he is the one who manages the family business. With more power and money in his hands, he naturally has more ideas. When he heard what his elder brother said, Li Mingxing secretly dispelled the idea of being the head of the family. In the blink of an eye, the elder brother came up with two vicious plans. If it was used to deal with him, it would be like killing a bed bug, and the family would be in harmony.
"Sending letters to the capital is of great importance. I'll go there in person. If there is any disturbance in the capital, I will send them back immediately." Li Mingxing stood up and said.
Li Chengshi praised with gratitude: "Ming is the best performance. As long as you brothers work together, there will be no hurdle that cannot be overcome. I am very pleased with my father."
Li Mingde continued: "The old fifth person is doing what he wants to win over Qingtian's deputy envoy. Let him increase his efforts. It is nothing to be able to overcome this difficulty. Jiang Anyi and Dong'er's engagement should also be promoted as soon as possible, so that he can't be afraid to target the Li family."
"It's useless. Tong'er told me that Dong'er just promised Jiang Anyi to be a concubine. Can a concubine make Jiang Anyi take a fright?" Li Mingxing obviously knew some of his daughter's thoughts and said angrily.
Li Mingde frowned and thought for a moment: "In this way, Jiang Anyi is probably to protect Li Lai and his family, and to protect Li Lai and his family, and not allow them to leave the village. This step of leisure may be useful when. By the way, the village will trouble the third uncle, strengthen the inspection, and let Chen Hongming stay in Jishan Hall, so that the family must protect the prison."
Li Chengwei dared not take big shots in front of his nephew, so he nodded.
"Anqi is the root of the Li family. Yu Zhijie is in Anqi County. The stability of Anqi County is the key. Ning runs to me on two out of three days of National Day, saying that Yu Zhijie is pushing him tightly, and he is almost going crazy. Haha, in recent years, my Li family has given him at least a few thousand taels of silver. If you eat enough, you won't be able to stop working."
"I will go to Anqi County tomorrow. First, I will find Yu Zhijie to get close to him and clearly said that he would withdraw 2,000 acres of land. Then I will mention his proud disciples' marriage with my Li family to see what he reflected. Second, I will meet the county magistrate and let him understand that Yu Zhijie might force him to become an official and offend my Li family. I am afraid that he will not have any life. Third, An Niang said that Xuchang is sick, so I will go see him. At critical moments, I cannot have a second thought. He still has to control the matter in this county."
His words were filled with murderous intent, and Li Ming's heart shivered secretly. When he saw his elder brother, he looked at the Bodhisattva, but his appearance at critical moments was no worse than the Vajra in front of the temple gate.
Mr. Li was satisfied with stroking his beard and reached out to get the tea. Then he realized that the tea cup was thrown to the ground by himself. Li Chengwei quickly got up and poured a cup of tea to serve.
After drinking a sip of tea, Li Chengshi said, "For my father, you should be calm when you are in danger. It seems that Mingde, you are better than what you are in your father. I can't calm down tonight. Mingde, if you can stay in trouble, you may be competent for the head of the family. When the sacrifice at the end of the year, I will announce that you will continue to serve as the head of the family, and I should enjoy a few years of peace and happiness."
Li Mingde stood up and respectfully bowed to his father. Although it was a long time ago, it was still a little surprised when it came to fruition.
"The last thing I want to tell you is that if one person has weak manpower and everyone has high talent for firewood, the Li family wants to inherit and prosper, and the clan members are the fundamental. Now the Li family is facing difficulties. As the head of the family, we cannot solve problems by ourselves. We must rely on your brothers and sisters, your clan members, and the Li family is the Li family of the clan members. They prosper and all the prosperity and the loss are both loss."
Li Mingde should behave in a respectful manner, Li Chengwei and Li Ming couldn't sit still, so they stood up.
"What should I do? Mingde, just let go and do it. Just tell me what I want to do for my father. This crisis depends on you. It's not too late, I'm tired, so you can rest as well."
The lights of Jishantang dimmed, but the Li family's huge eyes opened, and an invisible net was scattered from Heshantang, covering the entire Dazheng. Who is the fisherman and who is the fish and shrimp?
Either the fish die or the net break, it is related to the decision of the family's destiny and the survival of the aristocratic families. A storm landed in Anqi County, Renzhou in late autumn of the ninth year of Dazheng, and quickly extended northward.
