Chapter 57: The Ruins of the Li Family
In the evening, Wu Tian and dozens of people from Wujia Village secretly came to Li's house. The torches were lit one after another, and some people began to dismantle the tiles on the roof. Some followed below. The movement is very fast, and there is an occasional sound of tiles falling. When the roof is removed, the beams and walls are removed. By daybreak, the Li family's house was gone. These people secretly went back to Wujia Village and went home to sleep.
Wang Wensheng asked Wu Tian and the people of Wujia Village to go home to sleep and rest, stop for a day, and wait for the craftsmen to arrive before starting construction. The Li family has been razed to the ground, and Wang Wensheng only let the stones watch from the ruins of the Li family.
The Li family is still talking about Li Qing's ability and the fact that the Li Shan family wants to build a house. I heard someone here say that Li Shan's family is gone.
The patriarch of the Li family heard that the Li Shan family was gone, and he didn't know what the situation was. followed a few people to Li Shan's house and saw a ruin. He was so angry that he wanted to ask Li Qing on the spot. There is only Wu Shi in the Li Shan family now, and Wu Shi was very surprised and said, "Has Grandpa Li forgotten?" Boss Qing and Brother Ren sent Grandma Li back to her parents' house. “
Patriarch Li trembled with anger when he heard this, knowing that this must be Wu Tian's masterpiece. But he didn't dare to go to Wu Tian, so he could only be angry with Li Xiao. This turned out to be premeditated for a long time, and even his grandson was taken away. Then Patriarch Li led people to kill Zhangjia Village directly. When he arrived at Zhang's house, he learned that Zhang Cheng had gone into the city to help Li Xiao buy land, and Patriarch Li affirmed his previous thoughts. muttered to himself, even Zhang Chengdu was taken away.
Patriarch Li asked Siya, "Who else is in your family?" “
Siya also has no bottom in her heart, and she doesn't know what Li Xiao is doing again. said: "My grandmother and my aunt have returned to their parents' house, and my mother has also returned to her parents' house. My sister-in-law is here to take care of me. My three younger brothers don't know where they went, as if they had arranged for them to do something before the fifth sister left. “
Patriarch Li went home angrily. This matter was boiling all of a sudden, and the old patriarch also heard about it, and specially asked Patriarch Li to go over for questioning. The Li clan was angry and told the matter of the Li Shan family. The old patriarch sighed and said, "Since it has been demolished, forget it." I didn't expect this little girl to think about things so carefully, and even Li Ren and Zhang Chengdu calculated it. It's a pity that it's not a boy. In the future, the position of the patriarch will be Li Ren's sooner or later, Li Ren and Li Qing are good friends, and our Li family is about to rise. So saying, the old patriarch went back to the house.
Patriarch Li didn't understand what his father meant, but he just knew that the house had been demolished, so let's talk about it when Li Qing came back.
The matter soon reached Sanniang's ears, Sanniang ran back crying, saw that the Li family was gone, and sat on the ruins of the Li family and cried. scolded Li Qing for this scourge in his mouth, and he was stabbed with a thousand knives. She had only been back to her parents' house for a long time, and the house was gone. There were a lot of people around, and there were jokes that Li Shan's family let the children be in charge, and the family was gone. It is said that Li Shanjia has a bad time this year. There are those who look at Sanniang and point their fingers, all of them are watching the excitement. Most of them accused Li Qing of being sick, how did he think of demolishing the house.
At the intersection of the village entrance, a group of people came from afar. A team of six, all on tall horses, carrying bows and arrows, sashes and short knives, and bags hanging on their horses. The people of the village watched from afar and did not dare to approach. One of the soldiers dismounted and walked to the side and asked, "Uncle, is this Lijia Village?" “
The old farmer nodded yes. The man asked again, "May I ask how to get to Li Shan's house?" “
The old farmer pointed in one direction. After the inquirer went back to report to the other person, everyone left in the direction of Li Shan's house.
The leader of this team is Zhu Yi, the righteous brother of Master Li Zhu Biao.
It is said that Zhu Biao followed Tang Minghuang all the way south, and when he learned that Li Ying led the troops to the battle, Tang Minghuang was not very relieved of his son, so he wanted several generals around him to go back to assist Li Ying.
Zhu Biao said that he would not leave anything, saying that he would stay to protect his master and mother. He is past the age of making meritorious contributions, and he has a successor, and in the future, let his apprentices serve the country on his behalf.
Li Xiao is very famous among them, Zhu Biao hangs on his mouth almost every day, and every time his apprentice is so filial that he hunts wild things to eat every day. said how clever his apprentice was, and he knew how to use the bow and arrow. said that his apprentice punched well, and the knife was also good. said how diligent his apprentice was, and he learned eighty percent of him in one year. said that his apprentice would definitely make contributions in the future. said that if his apprentice wasn't young, he would definitely recommend him to be a general. Everyone has never seen Li Xiao, but they all know that Zhu Biao is very proud, and he has never lost a battle with his luck. In addition, he has saved the saint several times, and he is very favored. Except for the people he really admires, Zhu Biao can be said to have no one in his eyes on others. They were also curious about what kind of person could make Zhu Biao praise him so much. It's a pity that Zhu Biao never let them see Li Xiao, and every time he mentioned it before, Zhu Biao refused. Zhu Biao regards Li Xiao as his own child, and in his heart, Li Xiao is a person who has nothing in the sky and no on the earth. He is afraid that others will rob his apprentice, especially his righteous brother, and he has to guard against it, his righteous brother's good arrow, he is afraid that Li Xiao will not want him to worship his righteous brother as a teacher when he sees it, and he will not cry when the time comes. is even more afraid that his brother-in-law will ask him for someone. So he taught Li Xiao in Lijia Village for a year, and Li Xiao didn't meet anyone else.
This time, the master spoke, and Zhu Yi and a few young people wanted to find a career. Tang Minghuang wrote a letter of recommendation, the content of which was that Zhu Yi was a man with good archery skills, which was of great use. Zhu Biao instructed Zhu Yi to see his apprentice when he passed by Lijia Village, and when he got along with Li Xiao, he found that the Li family was very different from Li Xiao. Almost didn't care where Li Xiao went, and didn't care about the child's food and drink. Li Xin once said that he could only dance knives and arrows, and could not work in the fields, and his family didn't care much about him. He is such a precious apprentice, recruiting soldiers everywhere in the country, and I don't know how the little apprentice is living.
Zhu Biao prepared a large box of gold, silver and jewelry, and the contents were for Zhu Yi's career and family business. There are also some for his apprentice Li Xiao. Zhu Biao is a rough person, so he put them all in a big box, and asked Zhu Yi to go to Lijia Village to see Li Xiao. If Li Xiao is doing well, don't pay attention to her, and if she is not doing well, leave some money for him. How much to leave for him, it depends on Zhu Yi's own meaning.
Zhu Yi has always wanted to meet this person who has been praised by his righteous brother, and he also wants to try his archery skills with Li Xiaobi. I was very happy to respond, and I went to Xuzhou Mansion with people.
When Zhu Yi arrived in Lin'an County, he let others settle down in Lin'an County, and he took five people to Li's house. I inquired all the way to Li Shan's house. The scene in front of him shocked him, what was the situation, what he saw was a ruin. At first, he thought he was in the wrong place, but when he heard crying people around him and many onlookers talking, he was sure that this was Li Shan's house.
Zhu Yi asked the guards around him to inquire about what was going on.
