Chapter 47: The Inkstone
The cool wind blew, Wu Tianzhao couldn't help but shiver, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his wrinkled old face.
"Old man, it's going to rain. ”
Yuan Li looked up at the sky and suggested:
"Why don't we talk somewhere else?"
Wu Tianzhao thought about it, nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go to the teahouse across the street!"
The two crossed the road, and as soon as they walked under the eaves of the teahouse opposite, the raindrops of beans smashed on the asphalt.
The second floor of the teahouse.
Yuan Li and Wu Tianzhao sat on the mahogany chairs by the window and ordered a pot of Pu'er tea.
A few minutes later, on the tea, the two of them took a small sip of each of their delicate teacups.
"Well, good tea. ”
Yuan Li put down the small and delicate teacup, closed his eyes and looked endless:
"Old man, you taste, you taste. ”
Wu Tianzhao nodded, his face expressionless:
"Yes, refreshing, good tea. ”
Yuan Li turned his head to look at the people outside the window who were hurriedly hiding from the rain, and threw out the question again:
"Old man,
Did you already know you were poisoned? ”
Wu Tianzhao did not answer, but asked rhetorically:
"Yuan Li, the two of us are not related to each other,
You seem to care about my affairs. ”
Yuan Li waved his hand and said lightly:
"It's just curious, if the old man doesn't want to say it, I don't ask. ”
Speaking of which,
Yuan Li filled the teacups in front of himself and Wu Tianzhao, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
I don't know how many cups of tea I drank, just when Yuan Li wanted to get up and go to the toilet, Wu Tianzhao opened his mouth and said:
"Yes, I already knew, and they thought I was kept in the dark. ”
"Them?"
Yuan Li blinked his eyes and said curiously:
"Old man,
So do you know who poisoned it?"
Seeing Wu Tianzhao nodding in acquiescence, Yuan Li slapped the table with his big hand and said indignantly:
"Old man, then what are you waiting for, this is murder......!
Without waiting for Yuan Li to finish speaking, Wu Tianzhao stared at the tea in the porcelain vase and interrupted:
"You say......
Is money really more important than affection?"
As soon as Wu Tianzhao said this, Yuan Li understood,
Blame had to call the police, it turned out that the poisoning was done by his relatives.
"Old man, everyone may have their own opinion on this issue. ”
Yuan Li thought about it,
Ambiguously said:
"Some people think that money is more important than family affection,
I think this kind of person is more appropriate to call it an animal, the crow still knows how to feed, and the lamb also knows how to kneel and suckle, but this kind of person has lost his humanity.
There is also a kind of people who think that a thousand gold is not as thick as water,
I agree with this, after all, filial piety comes first, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but does not wait, it should be done and cherished!
After all, money is a thing in the body, life does not bring death, where can it compare to family affection. ”
After Yuan Li finished speaking, Wu Tianzhao's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation:
"I didn't think you had such an opinion at such a young age, and you were right!
Alas, if my sons could think like you, I would be blind to death. ”
Although he had already guessed, Yuan Li still found it difficult to accept Wu Tianzhao's words:
"Old man, is it really your own son who poisoned you?"
Wu Tianzhao smiled bitterly, nodded and said:
"yes! I think I'm a failure as a father to teach them well. ”
Yuan Li scratched his head, looking puzzled:
"Your sons poisoned you for money, why did they do that? To put it mildly, won't the inheritance still be theirs when you settle in the ground, and they are so anxious?"
Wu Tianzhao shook his head and explained:
"You don't know, I told them half a year ago that all the assets in my name will be donated to the charity fund after my death, and several of them are naturally dissatisfied when they hear this decision. ”
"I see, the old man has a good heart. ”
Yuan Li gave Wu Tianzhao a thumbs up, and then said with a puzzled expression:
"Old man, there is one more thing I don't understand, the toxins in your body should have accumulated for half a year, how did they poison you?"
Wu Tianzhao took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"The inkstone, the inkstone is mixed with poisonous things, and every time I practice calligraphy, the pen and ink will be filled with toxic gases, and then enter my body, and over time ......"
Halfway through his words, Wu Tianzhao suddenly closed his mouth and stared at the stairs.
Yuan Li looked back and found three middle-aged men in black suits and holding umbrellas.
"Dad, why are you here? ”
The middle-aged man led by the leader said dissatisfiedly:
"You didn't answer your call, but my brothers were worried to death. ”
"Huh, you're worried?"
Wu Tianzhao snorted coldly,
Self-questioning:
"You guys wish I was dead. ”
When the three brothers heard Wu Tianzhao's words, their expressions instantly became unnatural, and they said:
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
"We all want you to live a long life. ”
Wu Tianzhao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, covered his stomach and laughed, and waited until tears came out of his eyes before he scolded:
"You rebels, let me ask you, is the poison in the inkstone from you!"
Seeing that Wu Tianzhao finally pierced this layer of window paper, the three brothers didn't even quibble, and the eldest son gritted his teeth and said:
"The old immortal was discovered by you,
What about us, do you have proof?"
The second son also pursed his lips and said angrily:
"You brought it all on yourself, we are your sons, and you plan to donate all your assets to the children in the mountains. ”
The third son got started directly, patted Wu Tianzhao's head, and said fiercely:
"I see that you old thing is getting older and more confused, what are you doing while you are still alive, you die early and you will be born sooner. ”
"Boom, click~"
Thunder was rolling outside the window, and lightning was also one after another, as if God couldn't stand it.
"What a rebellion!"
Yuan Li stood up,
Pointing to the three brothers with ugly faces, he said:
"Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
The three brothers glared at Yuan Li and threatened:
"It's our family business, who are you! It's not your turn to talk here, get out!"
Yuan Li took a deep breath,
Clenched his fist and said:
"Old man, I originally wanted to help you hide that matter, but now I see that these three guys who are inferior to animals can't bear it.
You three listen up! Do you think that the old man is unbalanced in his heart when he donates all his assets to the children in the mountains? Let me tell you, you are also adopted by the old man!
I never wanted to raise a few of you with hard work, but I raised a few white-eyed wolves!"
After Yuan Li finished speaking, the three brothers froze in place, looking shocked, and Wu Tianzhao also looked at Yuan Li in surprise, with a painful look on his face.
"You're the one who was adopted!"
The eldest son came back to his senses and said with a grin:
"I warn you, if you kid talk nonsense again, our brothers will be rude to you. ”
