Chapter 18: Change of Mind

Soon after Li Gang entered the city, Master Li accepted the third aunt's wife, Wu.

……

"How many times have I told you, don't talk nonsense about those subordinates, why don't you listen?"

Hearing the footsteps of Li Gang walking in, Li Xuewei was still holding the silk thread in the basket, and said tepidly in her mouth.

Li Gang hurriedly walked to Li Xuewei's side and said with a flattering smile: "What my sister taught me is that I have been really panicked by the two stinky faces of Shi Lao Shi and Shi Lao II and their brothers these days......

Li Xuewei sneered: "You say so now, how did I tell you in the first place?" I knew that it was two things that were useless, but you didn't listen to it, and you were raised at home for nothing......"

Speaking of this, as if realizing that her tone was a little excessive, Li Xuewei paused, and then resumed her usual tepid tone: "Forget it, it's easy to ask God to send God, don't look at them can't beat others, it's still a piece of cake to rectify us, I also know that it's hard for you to be able to hold back, your temper ......"

Li Gang heard Li Xuewei say this, so he found a stool and sat down beside Li Xuewei.

"Madam, how do you have the time to get these things today? Inside......"

Li Gang lifted the lid of the tea cup, but his eyes looked at Li Xuewei and asked in a low voice.

A hint of resentment swept over Li Xuewei's fair-skinned face, she stopped picking the silk threads, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said as if she was a little distracted: "It's very strange, after three days of decoction without water and rice sticky teeth, people are getting more and more sober, and today they don't agree with each other, so they just drove me out!" ”

Li Gang opened his mouth wide in surprise and said in a lost voice: "There is a ...... Something like this? I'm afraid it's a return to the light, right? Madam, did you call Lang Zhong to come over and see it? ”

Li Xuewei pursed her lips: "I haven't taken medicine for three days in a row, what's the use of calling Lang Zhong?" ”

Li Gang suddenly laughed with some palpitations, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, it's not us who wants to kill their father and son, at most we are just a man who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fights and fishermen to make profits." ”

Li Xuewei suddenly looked at Li Gang and said hatefully: "Left and right, you are still useless......

Li Gang was a little anxious, and put the tea cup in his hand on the small table beside him: "Madam, I said that you are also timid and afraid of things, you know the gains and losses all day long, you are afraid of what iron abacus behind that woman, and you are afraid that those old protΓ©gΓ©s in the old man's Kyoto, if you rely on me, you will have to cut through the mess quickly!" ”

Li Gang made a vicious slashing gesture as he spoke.

Li Xuewei immediately glared at Li Gang fiercely, and the tepid, dignified and elegant pretended to be before was suddenly revealed.

She twisted the expression on her face and reprimanded angrily, "You know what to do...... Are we afraid that others will not be able to grasp our handle? The lord is suspicious of me first......"

Then he looked at Li Gang's face with a more ferocious look and continued, "I called you over just to ask you, the more he took the medicine, the more sober he became?" Now there is no phlegm...... Have we been fooled by that bastard? ”

Seeing that Wu no longer pretended to be a wife, Li Gang calmed down, and said with some disapproval: "People have already become like that, skeletons are like this, can they still come back to life?" Left and right are just a matter of getting by. ”

"People make it clear that it comes slowly, not all at once, so that there are no traces...... What are you panicking about? Tell me how he drove you out after three days of silence? ”

When he said this, an ambiguous sneer appeared on Li Gang's face, and his voice became lower and lower.

Li Xuewei's face showed a look of fear that a little woman is accustomed to, her eyes glanced outside her window, and she whispered: "It's scared to death just thinking about it, I just walked in, and before I could say a word, the old guy suddenly sat up from the bed and asked me: Why didn't San'er come to see me?" ”

Li Gang frowned: "You just have to perfunctory him a few words, can that sassy fox go to him?" It's easy for us to lose her prestige, and the princess of the government has planted her ...... for murder."

Li Xuewei glared at Li Gang: "Use you to teach me?" I hurriedly said that in order to pray for your speedy recovery, the third lady made a vow in front of the gods and Buddhas to fast and chant sutras for several days, and now she may be tired and has not seen it...... I didn't want that old thing to be angry, sneered and said that San'er still has me in his heart, and pointed at me and scolded, you have no conscience, hurry up and get out of here, you don't have to make me upset to look at you every day! ”

At the end, Li Xuewei's face was full of hatred, and the colorful silk threads that had been picked up and separated in the basket were suddenly grabbed by her hands again and twisted into a mess.

Li Gang was surprised: "The old guy can actually speak, and he can still be angry at you?" This is really wrong, it doesn't seem like a flashback, but it seems to mean that it is going to get better. ”

Li Xuewei hated: "What light do you return? What kind of photo to return? But I'm afraid we don't have many good days! Hmph, it must have been some secret means used by that fox of the Wu family to relieve the poison on the old thing, so our efforts were in vain. ”

"What now? Your two sworn brothers are useless, the government is a snake cave that is not satisfied, and I can't get the key to the old thing's secret room, so I can't live this day...... Could it be that I've been here for nothing all these years? ”

Listening to what Li Xuewei said was so serious, Li Gang was also a little panicked: "Have you arrived at this step of the field?" Not really, right? Then he complained, "It's all your woman's knowledge, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, if I had not done it a long time ago, I would have been their father and son first, and then I would have ended up as the fox spirit ...... Wu."

Li Xuewei glared at Li Gang, and said angrily: "It's not easy to kill his son without a trace, if it weren't for that slut's suspicion, how easy would we be able to do it?" ”

"The old guy is more cunning than a fox, and the gold and silver treasures he has looted all his life may be hidden in the secret room, and we still can't act rashly if we don't check it out, otherwise the bamboo basket will be empty, and I won't give away so much silver in vain?"

"Killing the Wu family is not a simple effort? The reason why I kept her was because I was afraid that the old fellow would never give me the key to the secret room...... Until we get the key to the old guy's secret room, there's always some use in keeping that slut. ”

At the end, Li Xuewei said with some relieved hatred: "Anyway, this family is now leaderless, and when we get the money, we will go far away and leave this place that has disgusted me for half my life!" ”

Li Gang nodded: "My wife and I think the same, as long as we have money, we can go anywhere." But now the old thing is dead and alive...... Is the defense tight these days? Is there anyone in or out of the old man's ward? ”

Li Xuewei shook her head: "I have kicked out all the people who should be thrown out, and now there are only a few people left in front of me in this house, the slut is already ruthless and unpopular, there are two girls in front of him and the silent old Chen, I asked people to spread the word that the old man has a contagious disease, who would dare to go to death by himself?" ”

Li Gang nodded, thought for a while and said: "Maybe the old guy is worried about killing the eldest young master and there is no Fa rectification, and the eldest young master must not be buried properly, and they all say that people who hold their breath in their hearts just refuse to braided casually." ”

"Damn, if he doesn't die, we can't strangle him to death, hey, don't you want to see the Wu family with him? Why don't we push the boat down the river and ask Wu to come over to meet him, maybe he just doesn't feel at ease, he wants to take the key to the slut, and ask the slut to do something for him, as long as the slut gets the key to the secret room, hehe......"

Li Xuewei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said thoughtfully: "Well, it makes sense, I was so frightened that I almost messed up...... I'm just afraid that the person who is going to die is in good spirits again, yes, I can't care so much now, just do it! ”

……

In the evening, Chen Gang walked straight into the brightly lit Piaoxiang Pavilion with his hands behind his back.

Huang Zhen, who was sitting at the counter, looked down and pulled the abacus, and an extremely complicated expression flashed across his face.

A few guys who were busy closing were crackling and cleaning up the kitchen utensils and benches, and when they saw someone coming in, one of them hurriedly shouted: "It's closed, the guest officer invites Ming'er to come." ”

Huang Zhen stood up from inside the counter and waved his hand to the guy: "Go ahead!" ”

As soon as the man saw the shopkeeper's meaning, it seemed that he knew the guest officer who came in, so he quickly bent over Huang Zhen and went into the room to work.

Huang Zhen arched his hand to Chen Gang and beckoned, "Old Chen, come here?" ”

Chen Gang didn't give Huang Zhen a gift, but just nodded to Huang Zhen: "It's easy to wait until the shopkeeper is free, and the young lady sent me over, first, to say goodbye to the shopkeeper, and secondly, to ......"

The muscles on Huang Zhen's face couldn't help but jump suddenly: "Farewell? Where does this begin? Old Chen, let's sit down inside before we say, okay? ”

Chen Gang smiled reluctantly and nodded.

Huang Zhen ushered Chen Gang into a small room inside the counter.

This small room may be where Huang Zhen usually settles accounts, and under the bright light, the shelves and tables are full of stacks of account books.

Chen Gang couldn't help but wonder a little secretly, he didn't know how much silver Huang Zhen's Piaoxiang Pavilion could earn every day, and how many account books could there be?

But this iron abacus is still so insatiable, it's just a matter of looting without calculation, and they also covet other people's family property, Chen Gang has long listened to Wu's tone, and it seems that the original relationship between them has long been gone...... No wonder, the young lady has already lost her heart to this person.

"Old Chen, sit down and talk."

Huang Zhen closed the door and bowed to Chen Gang again.

Chen Gang didn't appreciate Huang Zhen's affection, and stood there and smiled at Huang Zhen: "Miss said, if the son is still worried about those things of the Li family, you can give her the antidote first......

Huang Zhen's face suddenly turned a little pale: "What? Did she change her mind? ”
