205, Lie with Liu
"Sixth uncle, don't be polite, the younger generation really has some things, I want to ask the sixth uncle, but it's getting late, and I'm afraid of disturbing the sixth uncle's rest, so I don't dare to be abrupt. ”
"Since there is something, let's say it, I accepted the gift, thank you for your trouble, people are old, there is less sleepiness, and I sleep for four or five hours a day, what's the matter? Go, go to my tea room." ”
He glanced back at the Ginseng King again, then took my hand and walked out the door.
As he walked, he instructed: "Xiongqi, you go to the living room, bring the jar of red robe, and give it to Xiaofeng to taste." ”
Zheng Xiongqi replied and went upstairs.
Uncle Six pulled me and walked down another floor, there was a small cinema in the basement, and next to the theater, there was an underground passage leading to the low glass houses on the edge of the platform.
It turns out that those glass houses have two floors, and the basement must be embedded in the ground, so when you look at it from the outside, it is almost a low-rise house with only one floor.
After passing through the passage, I came to a spacious living room.
The wall facing the living room turned out to be a whole piece of tempered glass.
Looking down from here, the entire Dragon Slaying Town is in full view, and you can even see a hazy halo on the skyline, which is the direction of Xiling County.
On the side of the glass curtain wall, there is a tatami mat with a moderate area, and on the small tea table, a set of purple clay pot tea set handmade by the master is unique.
The sixth uncle sat down first, and I sat down opposite him.
Sitting here, separated from the cliff by only a layer of glass, you can't help but feel the urge to look down.
Just as I could see it, Zheng Xiongqi came back with a pot of tea.
He skillfully made tea and brought one of us a cup.
Take a bite, it is really mellow and sweet, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.
After tasting a cup, I opened my mouth and said: "Don't hide it from Uncle Six, I came back this time to ask you about some things on the ground in Xiangxi, especially the wealthy families in the pharmaceutical industry in Xiangxi. ”
"Oh, are you going to do business or do you have some other purpose? It's not convenient for you to tell your sixth uncle, or I can give you some help. The sixth uncle took a sip of tea and said.
"I'm in Tianxin, I must have heard about the sixth uncle, recently, my son was kidnapped, I went back to Xiangxi, just to find out the enemy, save Hong'er," looking at the sixth uncle's kind face, I couldn't help but reveal the true purpose of this trip.
Sixth Uncle and Zheng Xiongqi were surprised when they heard this.
Zheng Xiongqi couldn't help but interject: "Brother Feng, why didn't you say it earlier, should we call the police." ”
I shook my head and said, "The people behind it have been planning for a long time, and I'm afraid that Hong'er will be in danger if I call the police." ”
The sixth uncle scolded indignantly: "These dogs are crumbling, and they use some indiscriminate tricks, which are extremely hateful. Xiaofeng, you don't have to worry, let Xiongqi follow you these days, what do you need. The Zheng family is duty-bound. ”
"Then thank you Uncle Six in advance. ”
"In the realm of Xiangxi, there are eight doors and sixteen households that started with medicine, and these eight doors refer to the top eight households, they are Wang, Chen, Zheng, Lie, Ma, Zhao, Hong, and Song. The last sixteen households, those are all rising stars, don't mention it. ”
"Then among these eight big families, have there ever been enemies who have had a holiday with our Di family. I then asked.
The sixth uncle thought for a moment, looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside the wall, and said slowly: "If you talk about the enemy, there was really one in the past. You juniors don't know about those things. ”
"That was when I was very young, and I heard my grandfather talk about it. During the Republic of China, your Di family used to be the leading family in Xiangxi. At that time, in the entire Dragon Slaying Town, only the Di family and the Lie family competed with each other, and they fought inextricably. Every year, there will be a big fight over the boundaries of the land, as well as the diversion of water for irrigation and the purchase of medicinal herbs. Less than countless people were injured, and more were killed or injured. ”
"For this reason, your two families have formed a great grudge over the years. It wasn't until your grandfather Di Tianling returned from his studies in France, feeling the casualties of the two families, that he took the initiative to come to the door and propose to make peace, that the two sides concluded a contract after many negotiations, stipulating that all the hatred in the past would be written off, and the two sides could no longer pick quarrels and provoke trouble for any reason. ”
From then on, the two families of Diret did their duty. If there is a conflict, the Chinese should be asked to reconcile first. For a long time, there was no incident, and there were no more accidents in which each other was beaten and killed. Until your second grandfather, Di Xiangtian, appeared. ”
Di Xiangtian disobeyed his father's orders and secretly killed a vicious member of the Lie family. That man once killed six members of your Di family with the strength of one person. Your second grandfather couldn't be angry, and in the end he made a big mistake. ”
"Di Tianling said first, it was inconvenient to protect your second grandfather, and he couldn't bear to kill him on the spot, so he had to find an excuse, saying that your second grandfather had lost his mind and was lost in the depths of Shennong Mountain. Then he scattered all his family wealth and compensated the family members of the Lie family who were killed, and the Lie family was willing to give up. ”
"It's just that since then, your Di family's vitality has been greatly damaged, and there has never been a person like your grandfather Di Tianling, who has medical skills. The family business also began to plummet, and it was overwhelmed by the family everywhere. By the time your grandfather was in charge, the Di family had completely degenerated into an ordinary rich family. There is no longer any threat to the Lie family, and the Lie family is completely relieved......"
"Second grandfather?" It wasn't until today that I finally understood the reason for the sudden disappearance of my second grandfather when I was a child.
"Yes, your second grandfather was young and vigorous, jealous and hateful, and made a big mistake for a while, which affected the fortunes of the family, so that the Di family has fallen since then, and only the medical skills are still the leaders. The family power collapsed, and when it came to your father's generation, he simply left Dragon Slaying Town to seek another development. If you really have any enemies in your Di family, then you can only say that this family is barely half. This family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and although it is not the head of the eight major families, its strength should not be underestimated. ”
Hearing this, my heart suddenly moved, and then I asked, "I don't know who the head of the family is now, and has he ever had an heir, whether he is a man or a woman?"
"The current head of the Lie family should be a person of the same generation as me, named Lie Hanqing. He had two sons. ”
When I heard this, I was disappointed. I thought that the character Lie and the character Liu looked very similar. Could it be that Liu Xiaoyue concealed her surname, but in fact, her surname was listed. But now it seems that the current head of the Lie family has no daughter at all.
The eight major families do not have a big family surnamed Liu.
Then Liu Xiaoyue's clue has been like a stone in the sea since then and has become useless. This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to my conjecture.
Of course, although the suspicion of the Lie family is no longer so big, it cannot be completely ruled out.
Hearing Uncle Six's words, and looking at the current situation, the Lie family is still the number one suspect.
I secretly made up my mind that I would definitely go to Lie's house tomorrow to find out. Speaking of which, the beautiful police officer is also surnamed Lie, I don't know if it will have anything to do with this Xiangxi Lie family.
