Chapter 203: Midnight Ghost
Li De knew from the county informant that his eldest brother had not been killed, and he returned home in a lost place, when his wife Liu came to ask how things were going in County D? ”
"It didn't work out. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li De replied casually.
Liu's face changed at that time, "If you don't succeed, it's over?" Don't you know how to line up again? ”
"It's easy for you to say, now he is being guarded by a special person in the county government by the county."
"Is that stumping you? What do you eat? Such a useless man, I married you when I was wrong, you look at your eldest brother, he is older than you, he has a successful career, his family has a big business, and even his hair is still black, look at you like this, the bear bag is one, the money is not earned, and the hair is all white, are you still a man? ”
These few words hit Li De's sore spot, the two brothers grew up in this town, his eldest brother did not inherit the family's property and went out, and as a result, he earned a lot of family business, and he inherited the ancestral family business, but all of them were lost by him, and now he is actually a penniless poor egg, and he also relies on his eldest brother to manage the business to earn some money to support the family. Thinking of this, Li De couldn't help but be angry, "Didn't you say that you had someone in your hands when you asked me to frame my eldest brother?" Why can't it be done, and you blame me in the other way? ”
Liu Shi also became angry when he heard it, "You are embarrassed to say, you got all the property of your Li family at the beginning, but you gambled and prostituted and lost the family property, but as a result, you not only did not stop but also borrowed money to be happy, and now the creditor has come to the door, your eldest brother will not even help you with this little favor, and he will not borrow a penny of silver, I just came up with this way to make you pay back, but I didn't expect you to blame me." ”
Li De knew that he was also at a loss, "At the beginning, I just tried to get my eldest brother in prison, and I took the opportunity to take some silver from his house to pay off the debt, but I didn't expect that Steward Li took the opportunity to blackmail me and asked me to give me money after plotting my eldest brother's life first, and you were still next to me and said that you have someone who can help me do something, now it's okay, you have to blame me for the failure." ”
"Giving you people is to let you do things, it's not up to you how things are, and now you dare to blame me for doing things like this, you're really not a man." After Liu finished speaking, he went back to the inner room, leaving Li De alone in the house to sulk.
At this time, Steward Li came to find Li De, and at this time, Li De happened to have a stomach full of grievances, and when he saw Steward Li, he scolded: "You have a good idea, call someone to be assassinated in prison, but the person was not killed and let the county Cheng also help him, what do you think to do now?" ”
Steward Li was also stunned for a moment when he was scolded by Li De, "What's wrong with you today, what are you angry at me?" ”
"The person you called to assassinate my eldest brother didn't succeed, and now the county Cheng is also alert, and he detains the eldest brother alone in the county office."
Steward Li sighed, "You're just angry with me for this little thing?" ”
"Is this still a trifle? Now that the creditors are coming to the door, and if I don't pay back the money, they will kill me, and you asked you to take some out of the treasury first and give it to me for emergency response, but you refused, and now your matter has not been completed, haven't you forced me to a dead end? "It seems that Li De is really in a hurry.
"There are only a few thousand taels of silver in the bank treasury of the Li Mansion, where is there enough to pay off your debts."
"What! There are only a few thousand taels of silver in the treasury, it turns out that you have been taking money in the treasury, and now you can't make up for the vacancy to find a way to get rid of my eldest brother, and you use me as a scapegoat! ”
Only then did Steward Li realize that he had slipped his mouth, "What's the use of talking about this now?" We'd better find a way to get rid of your big brother first before it's true. ”
"You ......" Li De was choked and speechless.
Steward Li looked at the incompetent Li De and said: "Since the county Cheng has locked Li Mian in the county office, we are not helpless, you must know that there are also our people in the county government." ”
"Who?"
"I can't tell you that yet, but I'm here for this."
"What are you looking for me to do?"
"I have a poison here, you won't be fatal if you eat any of them, but if you eat these two medicines, you will be poisoned to death in a certain period of time, I want you to find a way to get this medicine into your eldest brother's mouth."
Li De glanced at Steward Li and said, "This is easy to do, I will ask the servants at home to send him what he likes to eat twice." ”
Steward Li was also happy to hear Li De say this, "That's very good, I'll go back first." After speaking, he left Li De's house and went back to Li Zhuang.
After returning to Li Mian's Li Zhuang, it was already dark, and Steward Li looked at the sky and went back to his house. As soon as he entered the house, his furniture suddenly rattled, the sound was like someone moving the furniture, Steward Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but there was nothing in the room, and Steward Li couldn't help muttering, "Hell today!" ”
Steward Li lit the candle and looked around, there was nothing abnormal, he put the candle on the table and went to the side to get the book, then the candle suddenly went out, Steward Li was stunned in the room and did not dare to move, it seems that he really hit the evil today.
After a long time, there was no movement in the room, and then Steward Li boldly took out the flint and lit the candle on the table, and when the candlelight filled the room, he looked around, and there was nothing, it seemed that he was too careful, so he went to the bookshelf to get the book, but the candle on the table went out again.
This time, Steward Li was a little scared, he quickly lit the candle and covered the candle with a lampshade, but at this time there was still nothing in the room, the doors and windows were closed well, he looked around and couldn't see anything unusual, and then he sat down at the table alertly.
There was no sound outside the window, and the sound of people walking in the house in the past was gone, and even the insects did not scream today, only the branches kept shaking under the light outside, as if their pretending to be ghosts would definitely scare people out of trouble, and it is estimated that the branches thought the same, and they shook hard in the night.
Looking at the surrounding situation, Steward Li couldn't help but smile, and then he said self-deprecatingly: "I'm a scholar in vain, and I still believe in ghosts and gods here, it's just to scare myself." But as soon as he finished speaking, the candle with the lampshade in the table went out again.
This time Steward Li didn't seem to be afraid anymore, he got up and took out a new candle in the cabinet and lit it, then replaced the old candle and covered it with a lampshade, at this time he got up and went to the bookshelf to get the book, but the newly lit candle went out again.
This time Steward Li couldn't stand it anymore, he got up and wanted to go out, but the door was locked from the outside somehow, at this time Steward Li was anxious, he screamed loudly in the house, his voice was panicked and trembling, but it seemed that he was the only one here, and no one in such a big Li house responded to his call for help.
After calling for a while, Steward Li found that this was in vain, he looked around the room and then went to pull the window, but it couldn't be opened, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden, what can I do.
Just when Steward Li was trapped in the house and urinated, the door of his house was suddenly opened, and a "person" appeared at his door, Steward Li glanced at this "person", only to see his feet hanging in the air, his hair was scattered, his face was pale, and there was a long, red tongue hanging in his mouth.
When Steward Li woke up, he was surprised to see that his windows were also opened, and there were more "people" standing outside the window, but at this time Steward Li was not afraid, if he really met a ghost, these ghosts would also eat him when he fainted just now, and now he knew that someone was making a ghost to scare him.
Steward Li picked up a stool and came to the door, he glanced at the benevolent brother who stretched out his tongue and smashed it without saying anything, but then a miracle happened, this benevolent brother who was smashed by his stool not only did not cry out of pain, but also maintained his original posture and did not move.
At this time, Steward Li felt strange in his heart, could this person be so able to bear the pain, he picked up the stool in his hand and smashed it on the head of this "person" more than a dozen times, but the other party still did not react at all, at this time Steward Li's heart began to fur again, he put his hand under this person's nose and tried for a long time, but he didn't breathe at all, "Ghost!" Steward Li screamed and tried to run out, but the door and window were blocked by ghosts, so he had to go back to the house and shrank pitifully and shivered.
