Chapter 244: Enemies Are Easy to Settle
The bustling city of Ningzhou is actually surging undercurrent.
A few days ago, Chen Xiangyuan led people to copy the Dacheng gambling stall of the Li family in Ningzhou, which is the most valuable gambling stall in the hands of the Li family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day, but I don't know why the Li family in Ningzhou is, and there is no sound at all.
After hearing that Li Xiuyan was confirmed as the next head of the family, his uncles were secretly colluding with Chen Xiangyuan, and as long as Mrs. Li lost his breath, he was robbed of Li Xiuyan's family property by outsiders. It's just that Mr. Zuo, who is most relied on now, is bedridden, and it looks like time is running out, the real estate of the Li family in Ningzhou is being eaten away by Chen Xiangyuan little by little, even if it is known above the temple, but it is outside the world, those old men in the temple are not cleaner than Chen Xiangyuan, and they secretly took a lot of black money, so they want to watch the decline of the Li family in Ningzhou, so as to get some property, but although the old lady Li of Ningzhou said that he was old, but there was still a breath of air, then Chen Xiangyuan did not dare to make a mistake.
At this time, there was a solemn breath coming from Ningzhou Li Mansion, Ningzhou Mrs. Li was lying on the elm bed at the moment, with Li Xiuyan and the housekeeper sitting next to him, and there was a seal on the table, which was covered by yellow silk, revealing a looming horn.
The housekeeper was lowering his head and telling Mrs. Li what happened today: "This party just went to Dacheng Gambling Stall, I never thought that I was kicked out, the previous brothers under the leadership of Tian Datou, all reversed the water, and it is said that these days gamblers gamble money in Dacheng Gambling Stall, and also give away ten taels of silver for free, and for a time all the gamblers in the city poured into Dacheng Gambling House. It's just that I couldn't have imagined that the person who opened the Dacheng gambling stall turned out to be Xiuyan's uncle, after all, this is his family's property, how can he tolerate others getting involved? If it weren't for your face, I would have served their family law a long time ago. Steward Huang's face was angry at the moment, and he was really sad and angry at the sons of Old Lady Li.
Li Xiuyan was calm, not angry because the Dacheng gambling house was robbed, but a little calm, at this moment he sat next to Mrs. Li and said: "When I came out of the Dacheng gambling stall, I happened to meet Chen Xiangyuan, and after seeing me, he rode straight over on a high-headed horse, if it wasn't for Steward Huang here, I'm afraid the horse's hooves would fall on me." Our Li family in Ningzhou has a big business, so it is naturally coveted. But now the temple is turning a blind eye to Chen Xiangyuan's behavior, and the Shen family and the Chu family in the four major families are colluding with Chen Xiangyuan, which is really ineffective for us. A few relatives of our outer gate heard that they had encountered an accident on the road, and if it continued for a long time, Chen Xiangyan would definitely kill him with a knife. As the saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains, you don't have to worry about no firewood, as long as the descendants of the Li family in Ningzhou give them some time, they can't pay homage to the prime minister. It's just that in this situation, it seems that we can't wait any longer. Even the cooks in the kitchen began to steal food in front of their faces, and began to look at their own future, and if this continued, we would surely fall apart internally. ”
Li Xiuyan's Qiankun Zhu that day from Qingzhou City had been taken by Mrs. Li, so he could continue his life for another year, but at this time he was already declining, and he was a little weak when he spoke, at this time he listened to what the two said, first sighed heavily, coughed twice, and came to his senses for a long time: "I can't imagine that the foundation I have laid in my life, but in a few decades, I have been defeated by these gentlemen, and I have also introduced the enemy into the family." It's really unfortunate for my family, and I have no way to teach my son. It's just that there are fifty or sixty people in our Li family in Ningzhou, and if we leave Ningzhou casually, I'm afraid there is no other place to stay. There is a trusted person in the capital, but the road is difficult and dangerous, and when you reach the capital, I am afraid that these fifty or sixty people can survive, but only thirty percent. In addition, the Chen family in Ningzhou is chasing after them, and even thirty percent of them are not. In this way, it is better to stay in Ningzhou City and fight with them. ”
Steward Huang shook his head, and did not agree with Mrs. Li's statement: "Master, if it was before, we still had the strength to fight with Chen Youde, but now even the temple is protecting the Li family in Ningzhou, we have wanted to ask the state guard to administer justice several times, and we have spent a lot of money on the guards inside and out, but we haven't even seen each other." But I heard that the state guard can often be seen at home in Li Mansion in Ningzhou. At present, it seems that our Li family is fighting with the temple, with the Chen family in Ningzhou, and even with our own people. ”
Li Xiuyan echoed at this time: "And when it comes to martial arts strength, we also have some distance from their Chen family. ”
Steward Huang continued: "If in the past, when Brother Zuo was not injured, the two of us were here, they would not dare to be presumptuous. It's just that now Brother Zuo can't afford to be seriously injured, the Li family in Ningzhou has collected some gangsters in the rivers and lakes, and even I have seen a lot of shadows of martial arts cultivators, according to the news I heard, most of them are outcasts of some mountain sects, so it seems that as long as there is a chance, those people will definitely kill them. For the Li family in Ningzhou, it is very likely to face the disaster of extermination. It's not going to go at the moment, it's not going to go, it's really difficult to be in such a situation. ”
Old Lady Li said with a solemn face at this time: "Steward Huang, you have been friends with me for decades, if you leave at this time, I will definitely not blame you for anything." I just feel ashamed of you, and I didn't do what I promised you. ”
Steward Huang shook his head helplessly at this moment: "If I am really greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I stay until now? Although I am a person with a foreign surname in the Li family in Ningzhou, I am no less respected than the people in the inner door. It's just that now that the Li family in Ningzhou is dying, I am very heartbroken watching from the side. If I kill Chen Xiangyuan and solve the problem, I have already killed the door at the moment, but the descendants of the Li family in Ningzhou are all looking like they recognize thieves as their fathers, which really chills my heart. ”
Old Lady Li said with a smile: "Not all descendants are like this, at least the cultivation is still worth entrusting." It's just that he has never stepped into the martial arts rivers and lakes, so naturally he can't protect himself. If it really arrives on that day, I only ask Steward Huang to bring him safely to the capital to participate in the big exam, and whether my Li family in Ningzhou can make a comeback is all in your hands. ”
Steward Huang heard this, but he was silent, Li Xiuyan was in a daze, and he didn't know what to say for a while, maybe the Li family in Ningzhou would be cut off in his own hands, and he would eventually become the nominal head of the Li family.
At this time, the Chen family in Ningzhou was very lively, Chen Xiangyuan and Chen Youde, the head of the Chen family, were sitting together, and there were several martial arts practitioners and people from the Shen family on the table in front of them.
At this time, a member of the Shen family patted his ass and said: "Our Qian Gongzi came with news before, saying that he had found Shen Lingqiu's traces in Qingzhou City, if she could bring it back alive, if she didn't follow, then it would be okay to come back with her head." Someone dared to lose Chen Gongzi's face in Ningzhou City, I really don't know what to do. ”。
Chen Xiangyuan was slightly annoyed and said, "It's a good drink, what are you doing when you talk about these frustrating things?"
At this moment, an attendant of the Shen family walked to the side and said a few words to the master, only to see the quilt in the man's hand fall to the ground, splashing porcelain pieces on the ground.
