Chapter II. 271. Respect for the old and respect the virtuous
Since Li Kuan was originally sitting on the ground, coupled with Shen Gui's second slap, he only brought some inertia power, so he didn't fly out like the scarred man Lu Tai just now, and still sat in front of Shen Gui. However, although this slap Shen Gui is already merciful, there is still a big gap between the bodies and ages of these two......
Unsurprisingly, Li Kuan's neck had just been loosened by Shen Gui, and the whole person was paralyzed to the ground as if he had been sucked out of the bones of his whole body, and with his big mouth that was leaking from all sides, he let out an unknown mournful sound......
"Oops? I said, 'Senior Sister Li', if you Li family members can have Li Kuan's 'Zheng Zheng arrogant', how can there be so many incidents? ……”
Shen Hui thought that this Li Kuan was still not convinced, and now he was 'glaring' at his vague 'shouting', presumably scolding something. In this way, Shen Gui still glanced at the third elder in his heart......
But before Li Le'an, who was laughing, calmed down, a middle-aged man about forty years old walked out of the queue behind him......
"Old lady, raise your noble hand! My father's appearance now should not be a provocation to you, but a begging for mercy...... Those two slaps of yours just now knocked out my father's big teeth; Now that he wants to speak, he is leaking from all sides, so naturally he can't say anything clearly. I also hope that you, old lady, can read for my father's old and old sake, and spare him for the crime of collision! ”
Shen Gui looked at the big yellow teeth scattered on the ground, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart; However, when I looked at Li Kuan, who was paralyzed on the ground and was 'glaring' at him, I still felt that something was wrong. So, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Li Kuan's eyes, and said to the big filial son who begged for mercy:
"Look at the look in your father's eyes right now! It's been a good thing now, and it's not bad to stare at me, which is obviously to recognize the enemy and look for revenge in the future! ”
"Old lady, you have wronged my father...... As early as three years ago, his old man suffered from a serious eye disease, and it is good to be able to distinguish between day and night, how can he recognize your face clearly? What's more, now that I have been hit in the head by your two slaps, I am afraid that I can't even see where your people are standing now! ”
Shen Guifang is still Li Kuan's 'firm' eyes, because he has a 'mighty and unyielding' hard bone! I dare to love because I am old, my eyes have cataracts, and I can't see people at all...... Then my second slap is indeed a bit of a loss......
"You're his son? Well, as a son of man, you can stand up for your father in this situation, and you are commendable for your filial piety! Just at this point, you are better than that Li Sanlin! But I still have a question...... If he Li Kuan is really happy and convinced, why does he not admit his guilt until now? If he can't speak because of the leakage of his mouth, then nodding and shaking his head can always be done, right? ”
Shen looked at Li Kuan sitting on the ground sullenly: this rich old man in brocade clothes is now glazed-eyed, covered with blood, and there are still faint tears in his eyes......
The third elder of the Li family, who was still 'striving to be the first bird' just now, was actually slapped twice by Shen Gui and cried!
Hearing Shen Gui's question, Li Kuan's son immediately stepped forward, and after carefully examining it, he suddenly stretched out his index finger and shook it towards Shen Gui with a 'joyful face':
"Look, old lady, this bloodstain came from my father's ear; He's not fighting with you, he's really making you deaf! …… Oh, my dad doesn't kneel down and kowtow to you, because he was slapped twice by your old man and peed his pants, and he really felt too ashamed...... I didn't have the heart to go against you and the eldest lady! ”
If Li Kuan could hear these words, even if he wasn't deaf by Shen Gui, he would definitely have to be deafened alive by his stupid son!
Now that there is a vivid and lively example of Li Kuan, all the troubles in front and behind have been solved. No one has ever questioned the 'legitimacy' of Shen Gui's identity as an aunt. And these people respect him more than Li Le'an himself.
This is also human nature, after all, if he Shen Gui can expect Li Le'an to give birth to a son for him, and he can go out with an open mind, and let him 'follow his mother's surname Li', then he Shen Gui will immediately transform himself and become the 'emperor' of the Dongyou Li family!
The team that left the shaman altar was still the group that had just surrounded Li Gao. It's just that the protagonists in the team have been replaced by Li Le'an and Shen Gui. Everyone knows that now that all the main culprits have been dealt with, according to Li Deng's style of 'only punishing the first offender' in the past, the election of the head of this great deserted city will still fall into their vote of accomplices.
In other words, whoever can take over Li Gao's position as the Great Elder will become the de facto master of this Great Wilderness City and even the entire Dongyou Road!
Back at the mansion of the Li Mansion, Li Le'an was surprised to find that all the arrangements and furnishings in the mansion were exactly the same as when he lived here! Obviously, this could not be the result of Li Gao's careful maintenance on weekdays, but it could only be made by the minions of the Li family who stayed in the city immediately overtime and quickly rushed to work after things changed. With such a swift efficiency and such a messaging network, if this effort can be used on the right path, then how could this once glorious great wilderness city fall into such a field today?
However, it won't be long before these Li family relatives who are scrambling to show themselves will no longer be able to laugh.
"Are all the elders here? The lower official is polite here......"
As soon as a few tables of the 'celebration banquet' were set, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe came to the garden of the Li family. This person is tall, if it is according to Shen Gui's algorithm, how can it be more than 1.8 meters; Although the body is slender, it has a slight belly; It seems that he must be a 'true literati' who does not work in production and has never learned martial arts, and the outline of his facial features is quite clear, but unfortunately it has a slight hint of femininity, and it is a pity to put it on a middle-aged man.
The old men of the Li family present saw it clearly, and this person was the 'no sense of existence' of the four-grade prefect in the Great Wilderness City-Li Zilin.
"Li Zilin, it stands to reason that you are an official of the imperial court, and what is right or wrong in you cannot be bound by our family law; But after all, your body is also flowing with the blood of the Li family, since you are not wearing official clothes today, then it just so happens that we will talk about family affairs! Grand Elder...... Li Gao secretly conspired with the Nankang people to try to kill the eldest lady, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? ”
The person who spoke was Li Sanlin, who gave up his grandfather and barely saved his dog's life. Now he certainly no longer has the luxury of being able to sit in the position of head of the family; But he didn't want his worst enemy 'Li Zilin' to have a good time! He is really not losing money by pulling a cushion now, and he is making money by pulling two companions! One mind is to drag others into the water, with full enthusiasm, and do all the dirty things that harm others and themselves.
After Li Zilin walked into the garden, he did not sit down in a hurry, nor did he respond to Li Sanlin's words of attack, but looked at Li Le'an, who was sitting on the main seat, with the eyes of inquiry.
Of course, Li Le'an also saw his inquiring eyes, but he shook his head slightly, and then said to Li Sanlin in person:
"Governor Li's affairs, my father has already made arrangements, so I don't have to worry about you. But Li Sanlin, let you sit here, I just haven't figured out how to get rid of you for the time being, it doesn't mean that you have escaped responsibility! In my opinion, you'd better finish your severed head meal in peace. ”
After Li Le'an finished speaking calmly, all the juniors of the Li family who were at the same table with Li Sanlin instantly withdrew cleanly. They would rather squat on the ground with a bowl and eat than share this 'severed head meal' with a 'prisoner' who has just been sentenced to death.
Of course, Li Le'an's words, in addition to sentencing Li Sanlin, also secretly elevated Li Zilin's status. During the banquet, these 'old elves' who had been fighting all their lives, of course, also heard this 'sound outside the strings'; without Li Zilin being embarrassed by himself, many people stood up and saluted the prefect who was once not loved by his grandmother and uncle, and enthusiastically gave up their seats.
But Governor Li took over a new pair of chopsticks from his subordinates as if he hadn't seen them, and then sat down opposite Li Sanlin, who was pale.
He looked at Li Sanlin's extremely ugly face, chuckled and shook his head, stretched out another hand and shook it in front of him:
"Sanlin, you don't need to be afraid of the harshness of family law! This government can tell you plainly, your affairs are under the control of my Great Wilderness City Government. ”
"Really?" Li Sanlin suddenly raised his head 'flattered', and his eyes were extremely eagerly looking at the Li Governor's Mansion who brought him hope.
In the past, if the children of the Li family made a mistake and wanted to escape the harsh punishment of the family law and clan rules, most of them would run some way and hand it over to Li Zilin, the 'soft-hearted' prefect of Fengjing, and let him 'deal with it impartially'! As for Li Zilin, he is also aware of his identity and status, and is very good at 'finding a way' in determining the crime. In this way, since the 'thief' has followed the laws of the imperial court, he will no longer be punished by the family law. As the saying goes, if you don't punish you, if you don't punish you, if you don't have any deep hatred and hatred for each other, and there is no entanglement of interests, you are all a family who doesn't look up and don't look down, and who wants to put whom to death?
According to the experience of the past days, the heaviest punishment for the sinners of the Li family who has been sentenced by Li Zilin is only a fine of 200 taels of silver and five years of exile. The two hundred taels of silver paid to the bitter lord are naturally not a large amount for the Li family; As for five years of exile, it's even simpler. Just hire a person with the same name and surname, and send him a 'five-year business trip'.
Of course, the ultimate crime set by Li Zilin for the junior of the Li family was to use fire carelessly, causing other people's houses to burn down, and accidentally injuring people's lives. But in fact, it was the young man of the Li family who was obsessed and sneaked into a woman's house late at night; After doing such a reckless thing, he became fierce and stabbed three lives; Before leaving, a fire was set to destroy the corpses......
However, the little master's life was not very good, and he hid at home for less than a year before he contracted a serious illness and died violently.
