In the warm room, Li Qianqian and Lan Tang sat in front of the smoked cage, eating oranges, peeled oranges were placed on the smoked cage, and the sweetness of oranges was scattered throughout the room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This old lady Li's family is really weird! she degrades her wife to a concubine at every turn, last time it was your mother, this time it is Xiao Jiang's family. ”

Li Qianqian's face stiffened when he heard this, "Don't pull my mother and that woman together." The reason why my mother was demoted to a concubine was because of the old lady, this time, she said that she was a degraded wife to a concubine, but in fact, she was not my father's wife at all. ”

Lan Tang nodded, "However, your father and your brother, they have been gone for nearly ten years, why don't they have any news at all?"

If you die, you have a pension! Why don't you have one?

So Li Qianqian suspects that her father and brother are still alive, as for the military salary over the years, "I think that there must be someone in the Li family in Nancheng who knows the whereabouts of my father and my brother, but they haven't said it." ”

"Can this kind of thing be hidden?" Lan Tang was dumbfounded.

"It's possible!" Yun Zhu leaned up and said, "If Master Li San is alive, it will have no effect on the two masters of the Li family, and Old Lady Li probably wants him alive and is afraid that he will come back alive." ”

When Li Jingshi left home, his wife and children were still alive and well, but now? If he comes back, even if he can't do anything to Mrs. Li because of filial piety, it will definitely be no problem to clean up the disaster of the little Jiang family.

But will she let people hide it?

"I think it's not Mrs. Li who is the master of the news, but those henchmen under their hands. ”

"Do you want Liu Er to send someone to investigate?"

"My cousin asked Liu Er to send someone to the military department to check, and my father and brother were sent to support the mighty general, and there is no record of their deaths. And they quickly rose from small soldiers to officers, you can imagine how difficult they are on the battlefield.

It's just that I can't see these things from the military register, and the matter of promotion is still close to the people in the military department, so I barely heard about it.

I heard that it was because the news under the jurisdiction of General Kamui was not reported in detail to Jingzhong, which caused the emperor to have doubts about his loyalty.

But what the truth is, no one can say.

For Li Qianqian, the only important ones are her father and two brothers, and the pigeon guards have been trying to find a way to inquire in the past two years, but with little success.

Because after General Shenwei was transferred back to the capital, I heard that Xie Shunjiang, the eldest grandson who went to take over, fell off his horse in a battle at the beginning of the year, and since then he has been sent back with half of his body in a battle, and his other favored grandson Xie Shunlin was cut off by the enemy in the same battle.

When the news came back to the capital, General Shenwei almost fainted, and his eldest son Xie Dingguo, who served as the chief general in Beijing, immediately asked the emperor for his life, and wanted to go to Tianwei Pass to avenge his son, but before the emperor could express his position, he threatened that if the emperor did not allow it, he would resign as the main general.

The emperor was very angry, but for the sake of General Shenwei's face, he still nodded and agreed to let him lead his troops to support.

Because of this, the DPRK and China quarreled, and some said that they should not always rely on General Shenwei's family, and that other generals should be cultivated, and that Xu Guanglin was not bad before!

I heard that if it weren't for the eldest grandson of General Kamui who sent their father and son to make a surprise attack, maybe something would not have happened to him.

Some people also say that Xie Shunjiang is stubborn and self-serving, relying on his grandfather, commanding in the army, calling those generals as his own servants, and offending those generals, among which his favorite object of suppression is Li Dalang, who is very unpleasant to look at.

Originally, there was no need to send troops to a surprise attack this time, because Li Dalang was not pleasing to the eye, so he deliberately sent him to go, and Xie Shunlin sent Li Dalang and his father to his son to take care of the baggage, but unexpectedly, they made a surprise attack, and the news was transmitted back to the camp, Xie Shunjiang was furious, and he would drop his horse when he hit the mount angrily, and Xie Shunlin's hand was cut by the enemy when he was protecting Xie Shunjiang.

This is a very fatal blow to the Xie family, and Xie Dingguo's actions have actually angered the emperor, General Shenwei originally supported the three princes, and the mother concubine of the three princes, Concubine Xie Shufei, is Xie Dingguo's sister, the three princes have not had a good time recently, and Concubine Xie Shufei has also gathered her original flamboyant temperament and behaved carefully.

Some people in the DPRK and China who are optimistic about the three princes have begun to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, and many supporters of other princes have fallen into the ground, and the loyal elements who support the three princes naturally want to fight back.

Li Qianqian therefore ordered the pigeon guards and eagle guards in the capital to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, in short, to be careful.

inquired about Li Jingshi's father and son, and naturally put it aside, I don't know if Feng San has not had news for so long, is it because of this matter?

Li Qianqian didn't tell Lan Tang about it, for fear that she would worry about Prince Feng, "I heard that the king of Hades is very difficult to deal with, so you say, will the news of my father and my brother be stopped by those subordinates in the Li Mansion?"

"What's in it for them to stop and not tell their masters?" Lan Tang's mind was diverted. "Besides, if your father and them come back in the future, the matter will not be exposed. ”

Li Qianqian shook his finger and said, "My father and they are no longer small soldiers, you said that their salaries must be going up, right? I have heard people say that fighting a war is the most rich, what if the money they send back is swallowed up?"

Lan Tang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Won't it?"

"Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, you say, this white flower sent to the door, will they not be greedy?" If the money they sent back before was swallowed by this person, then he must be familiar with the person who sent the money back on behalf of the Li Jing, and the news should be better than others.

So as long as the father and son come back before the Li Jing Shi father and son come back, they will redeem themselves and fly away, won't they get it? If you have money in your hand, you just have to buy someone to change your name and surname, even if you are unwilling to have your money stolen after Li Jing Shi returns, there is nothing you can do about him.

Besides, the swords and guns on the battlefield are not long-sighted, who can guarantee that Li Jingshi's father and son will be able to come back safe and sound?

The person who concealed the news should not have a low status in Loei, probably because the masters had to use decent ones, otherwise why would the person who sent things back for the Li Jing period give the things to the other party instead of sending them to the Li family's small courtyard.

Li Qianqian ruled out the possibility that Li Jingshi didn't let people send money back at all, and didn't think about it at all, why? She didn't know, but her intuition thought that he should be a very family-oriented man, and he should ask someone to send news home whenever he had the opportunity.

Lan Tang thought of it, but she didn't dare to mention it to Li Qianqian.

"By the way, you transferred those four businesses to your eldest uncle like this, and the Great Sect Master has no opinion?"

He also said, why don't you give them a few more, so that the Han family can mess with them. ”

Lan Tang smiled, "The Great Sect Master is really bad. ”

Those shops were originally managed by the Great Elder, and they were regarded by the Han family as their own treasury, but now that the Great Elder has returned, Li Qianqian did not return the shop, but gave it to her eldest uncle and second uncle, which is how the Han family can endure it.

When he was young, the Great Elder sent someone to invite Li Qianqian to his home for a small gathering.

After the two sides exchanged polite words, the Great Elder asked straight to the point, "Sect Master, what do you want to do by doing this?"

"It's very simple, I want your Han family to go to the capital to develop. ”

"So?" The Great Elder felt that there should be more than that, the foundation of his Han family in Liancheng had almost been completely uprooted, and without those shops, the income from the Zhuangzi in his hands could only be sold to the caravan of the Second Elder, or sold to other merchants, but because he had never had dealings with them before, he suffered a big loss when he went back and forth.

In the past, he was holding the shelf, picking and choosing when collecting other people's agricultural goods, and desperately lowering the price, but now it is his people who beg people to buy their goods, and they are also criticized for being incomplete.

"Otherwise, I have always felt that the Great Elder is guarding the main altar, some of the overkill is overkill, Liancheng is too small, it can't accommodate the Great Elder and Master Han, the virtuous father and son should go to the capital to show their talents, the second elder and other people who oppress their own family can be prosperous in the capital, and the virtuous father and son are not worse than him, are they willing to live in a corner of the rest of their lives and see him proud?"

The Great Elder was silent, the girl in front of him said all his dissatisfaction over the years, he was dissatisfied with the old sect leader letting him garrison the main altar, he wanted to go to the capital, he wanted to make a big difference, he didn't want to be compared to the old boy of the second elder, but he had not been able to do so.

He has been pressuring his children and grandchildren not to give them positions in the teaching, just thinking that one day he will be in charge alone, bring them to Beijing, and then let them show their talents, so he let them be listed in his own business, and want them to steal teachers from them, but he didn't expect that they didn't learn well, and they only learned to spend money without mercy.

"To put it mildly, Great Elder, your children and grandchildren were supposed to be tigers and wolves, but they were all spoiled by you! ”

The Great Elder stared at the little girl in front of him with wide eyes.

"You, you!" the Great Elder stretched out his hand and pointed at her, speechless for a moment.

"But also, they are used to staying in the general altar, and they are not willing or afraid to take that step at all. My master said well, people, you have to walk around while you are young and look at the scenery outside, so that you don't get stuck in a box. ”

"You, your master, he ......"

"He's very good, thank you for the Elder's concern, when I came to the appointment today, his old man was not at ease, afraid that I would suffer, but Mr. Lan asked him for help with something, so he sent Jinyi to accompany me. ”

The Great Elder asked in surprise, "He's not dead?"

"No, he's alive and well, who said my master is dead?"

But he hadn't been seen for a while. ”

Li Qianqian stood up and looked at the Great Elder coldly, "Because of this, he is said to be dead? Who is this? It is enough to spread such a vicious rumor!"

The Great Elder laughed twice, I don't know how to continue, Li Qianqian is not embarrassed by him, after all, he is an old man, and he is frail and sickly, well, we have to respect the old and respect the virtuous, but how to make the Great Elder open his mouth and automatically resign? This is difficult for her! )
