Chapter 016: The Peng Family Crisis [II]

The eldest lady of the Peng family also had red circles in her eyes, gently supported her mother, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, don't you still have a daughter?"

Mrs. Peng seemed to have found the backbone, her mood was better, she wiped a handful of tears, took her daughter's wrist, and said as she walked: "Shuang'er, Li Xu was killed, and without the power of this chamber of commerce, what should our Peng family do in the future?"

Peng Shuangshuang sighed softly, and suddenly heard the news, she was also surprised, Li Xu was cultivated by their Peng family, and they raised him all these years in order to let him contribute to the Chamber of Commerce, but now he was killed, and the Peng family, whose family background is just a little better, has encountered this kind of situation?"

Thinking of the next battle of the Chamber of Commerce, Peng Shuangshuang's heart was numb, and the anger in his chest was eager to find the hateful murderer and stab him a few times, but what could he do, everyone was dead, is there any point in finding out the killer again? Obviously not?

The current road in front of her is only to solve the upcoming battle of the Chamber of Commerce, which is the top priority of their Peng family, otherwise their Peng family can only wait to be driven out of Hangzhou by the Yang family, this is the thing she is most unwilling to think about, and it is also the most unwilling to think about it.

"I'm not going to lose?" Peng Shuangshuang gritted his teeth and helped his mother to the house.

The Peng family's mansion is not very large, covering an area of only more than 20 acres, in addition to the rockery, pool, all kinds of flowers and plants, there are a lot of pavilions and pavilions, Yanran is a faction of Jiangnan manor, in this rich Hangzhou city, it is not how magnificent, but it is unmatched in this generation.

The gate of the vermilion lacquer copper ring, on the stone steps in front of the door, the stone lion of the two town houses, one left and one right, the eaves on the corresponding door are two big red lanterns hanging high, the white wall of Daiwa, the high wall is deep in the courtyard, the eaves are winged and angled, it is very magnificent.

After getting seated, because there were guests, Fu Bo hurriedly unloaded the carriage and asked people to bring tea.

Li Yan'er didn't seem to be the first time to come to Peng's house, and after she got down from her seat with a big grin, she took a few sips of tea and said, "Has the hateful murderer been found, and why did he assassinate the son of the Li family?

Fu Bo said: "The messenger is an old man, the old slave asked in detail, when the incident happened, the son of the Li family was boating in the lake with his wife Yang, until it was dark, I heard an exclamation from the boat, and then was found by the grandson of Zhao Laohan by the lake, and when everyone drove out, the son of the Li family was already dead and could not die again."

Peng Shuangshuang's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "What did Mrs. Li say?"

Fu Bo said: "Mrs. Li was stupid, and said bluntly, that person appeared from the pavilion on the lake all of a sudden, and then took the opportunity to kill the son of the Li family, and then disappeared, and the poor lady of the Li family didn't even see what the murderer who suffered a thousand knives looked like?"

"Huh-?"

Three heavy sighs sounded, Li Yan'er took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, the murderer must have been prepared for a long time, otherwise he would never have waited in the pavilion!

Peng Shuangshuang said "um" and said: "Such a case is investigated by the government, but I am afraid that it will not be clear for a while!"

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, Mrs. Peng looked at her daughter, and then at Li Yan'er, and said worriedly: "Li Xu was killed, chasing and killing the murderer is a matter for the government, this is not within the power of my Peng family, the most important thing at the moment is that as soon as Li Xu dies, my Peng family is missing one of the most advantageous assistants in the battle of the Chamber of Commerce, and now the battle of the Chamber of Commerce is less than a month, how should our Peng family deal with it......"

Peng Shuangshuang sighed lightly and said: "Li Xu is the best learner, originally he was the most sure to win the other party in this battle of the Chamber of Commerce, but now he was assassinated so quietly, and suddenly heard the news, the eldest lady of the Peng family was not only surprised, but she forgot what to do? At this time, when I heard Mrs. Peng mention it, I thought of a solution! But where can I come up with a way to get the best of both worlds for a while?"

"The only way at the moment is to find someone who is as talented as Li Xu?" After thinking for a while, Peng Shuangshuang spoke.

"Looking for someone?" Mrs. Peng was slightly stunned, then nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes, there is still a month left in the business war, as long as our Peng family finds someone who is better than Li Xu before this, this battle of the Chamber of Commerce will not necessarily be lost?"

Peng Shuangshuang sighed and said: "Although this Li Xu is a talent, he does have a talent and learning, and now there are more talents than Jiang Zhiqing, and he is mostly a swaggering and deceitful person, how easy is it to find a person who is really talented and learned?"

"Giggles-?" Li Yan'er suddenly laughed, winked at the eldest lady and said, "I think of someone?"

Mrs. Peng and Peng both looked at each other, this Li Yan'er is the daughter of the county order, she is well-informed on weekdays, and she knows a lot of people, and she knows a lot of talents, and she may know a real talent, hearing her say this, the two said at the same time: "Who is it?"

Li Yan'er drank tea and said with a smile: "Miss, do you know him too?"

At this time, Peng Shuangshuang was a little stunned, and said suspiciously: "I also know, could it be Shen Gongzi?"

"He-? is just a small talent at best, even if you invite him, he may not be able to help you win a place in this chamber of commerce? I'm talking about someone else?" Li Yan'er still smiled.

"Daughter, do you know any talented son?" Mrs. Peng thought that her daughter knew what kind of talented son, but because she was not easy to say in front of her, she simply came to the point.

Peng Shuangshuang's face turned red and said, "Mother, where do you want to go, my daughter is busy making a living in the store all day long, how can I have the opportunity to meet any son?"

Mrs. Peng sighed and said, "I'm sorry for you, you are seventeen years old this year, and you should be at the age of getting married, but you haven't married yet, if it's not for the Peng family-?"

"Mother!" Peng Shuang's eyes turned red and he shouted.

Mrs. Peng wiped away a handful of tears and said with a smile: "You see that I forgot about the serious things when I was talking! What kind of son did Miss Li say just now, do you really know Shuang'er?"

Peng Shuangshuang glanced at Li Yan'er, shook her head blankly, and said, "My daughter knows few people, maybe she knows, but her daughter doesn't remember?"

"You, you really don't remember?" Li Yan'er said with a smile: "You forgot, he has also seen your-?"

"Huh-?" Peng Shuangshuang's face turned red and scolded shyly: "What are you talking about, you dead girl?"

Li Yan'er smiled: "Originally, where did I talk nonsense?"

Mrs. Peng saw her daughter's pretty face flushed, obviously she knew this person, and after listening to Li Yan'er, she was a person who had come over, so she could guess something, glanced at her daughter, and said, "Shuang'er, tell your mother quickly, do you know this person, what does he do, what is his name?"

"Mother-?" Peng Shuangshuang blushed and screamed writhingly.

"If you want to die in a hurry, don't you say it quickly!" Mrs. Peng's face sank and she shouted.

Peng Shuangshuang is not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, but he is afraid of his mother, seeing Mrs. Peng's face like ice, knowing that she is worried about herself, she also concealed it and told the details of today's events on the West Lake.
