In the early morning of the next day, Li Deng had just gone to the backyard to visit Wan Changning, who was recuperating from a leg injury, and had just returned to the main hall, and before he had even drunk the hot tea, he was shocked and upset by the mourning scene outside the door.

"Li Fu! Who's making noise outside the door? ”

Not long after shouting, Li Fu, the chief butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, held a copper basin full of hot water in both hands, and walked into the main hall step by step. He put the copper basin on the receiving table, soaked the face towel and handed it to Li Deng:

"Back to the master, there was a young man in plain clothes and filial piety clothes kneeling outside the door. I have already asked the porter, and the porter said that he claimed to be from the Great Wilderness City, and he was the junior of your clan, and this time he came all the way to report the funeral......"

"Nonsense! The old lady has been immortal for many years, and now there is no ...... in the Great Wilderness City Wait, what age does the young man outside the door look like? ”

“…… I look around thirty years old......"

Li Deng thought of some secrets he had heard in the Shen Mansion yesterday, so after a little thought, he stood up and walked out of the door of the main hall.

"You...... Whose family are they? ”

Whoever gets up early in the morning, and there is such a 'mourning knock on the door' at home, will also feel a little frustrated. What's more, the young man kneeling in front of Li Deng now, although he can't be called an abomination, but his appearance is clearly engraved with the word 'villain'. Li Deng originally did not have the habit of judging people by their appearance, but as he grew older, he gradually came to believe in the old saying that 'each other is born from the heart'.

"Grandpa! Great-grandson, I am a descendant of Li Gao and Li Laozu's lineage. This time, I was also ordered by Li Laozu to come to the capital to report the funeral...... Woowoowoo......"

If it is really as this thief-eyed man said, he calls himself a 'great-grandson' in front of Li Deng, and he can really climb up to his 'senior relative'. Because of the Li family's lineage, most of them need to learn both civil and military when they are young, so the age of getting married and raising children is generally later; How many years of generations have passed down to the present day, and the generation of the descendants of the Li family is naturally much higher than that of the side branches.

And the Li Gao Li ancestor in his mouth is the eldest of the four elders of the Li family, and he is also the one with the highest seniority and prestige among the Li family's branches.

At the same time, he is also the initiator of this transaction between the Li family's descendants and the side branches.

"Oh...... It's a son of Li Gao's branch, so you must be a leading figure in Dongyou Mansion? If you have anything to say, stand up and say it, Fengjing is no bigger than at home, there are no such big rules. ”

Li Deng said a nonchalantly word, then raised his hand and motioned for him to stand up and reply. Unexpectedly, the young man did not get up in response to the order, but continued to knock his head 'bang':

"Grandpa has tormented his great-grandson, what kind of face am I, Li Sanlin! It's just a bad descendant who eats white rice at home. If it weren't for the big tree of Grandpa, then those little monkeys in our Dongyou Mansion would have starved to death long ago......"

Li Deng looked at his self-willed and lowly philistine appearance, and a sense of sadness unconsciously rose in his heart: Although this son is only a collateral bloodline of the Li family, after all, he is also messing around with the name of the Li family, how can his face be so cheap? I think that although my Li family has been a businessman for generations, his identity is not noble; But for many years, it has always been a decent business, and the word fairness is all between buying and selling, how can he now raise a 'low-class goods' like Li Sanlin?

What's more, he was originally considered by the world to be a 'profiteer who only knows how to chase profit and stink', if they are all like him and don't regard themselves as people, then won't the status of businessmen be even more humble and lowly in the future? Isn't this just self-deprecation? It's like Zhao Gongming, the ancestor of the businessman, to be cheap together!

In fact, Li Deng's thoughts were not all out of public intentions. It's all because as soon as he saw this person's face, he already had a bad first impression; Now seeing his flattering face, he is even more angry.

"The Great Wilderness City is separated from Fengjing by thousands of mountains and rivers, you came in such a hurry, and you kept saying the word mourning, could it be that your nephew Li Gao ......?"

Li Deng's question, of course, was pretending to be confused, but when it fell into Li Sanlin's ears, he felt very real.

"Back to Grandpa's words, it's not Li Gao and Li Lao Zuxian who are going to ...... Speaking of this, they also blame Sanlin for being incompetent, a few days ago, my aunt and grandmother returned to their hometown to live in order to avoid the war; Who would have thought that our Li Jiashu would make a big move, my aunt and grandmother had just returned to their hometown and had not had a few days of peace, and they were already being targeted by the gangsters in secret...... When my great-grandson received the news and brought someone to arrive, my aunt and grandmother were ...... Woo...... His old man had been killed...... Wow~"

Li Deng looked at the grief-stricken Li Sanlin in front of him, and his heart was already cold; But his face still deliberately made a look of not turning a corner, and said impatiently:

"Now that the strong enemy of Beiyan has just retreated, and the state affairs are complicated, how can the old man have time to deal with the funerals in the clan! Sanlin, let Li Gao watch this matter of your aunt and grandmother, the old man doesn't have any opinions......"

After Li Deng finished saying a sentence casually, he waved his hand to Li Fuyi behind him:

"Li Fu, let the kitchen prepare some food for Sanlin, and send him back when he is full..."

As soon as Li Sanlin saw that Li Deng was leaving, he immediately stood up in a hurry, took two steps forward and just wanted to grab Li Deng's robe sleeve, but Li Fu tightly buckled his shoulders and couldn't move:

"Grandpa...... Grandpa ......! Grandpa, stay here! My aunt is Aunt Le'an! It's your daughter! ”

Li Deng, who had already turned around, heard Li Sanlin's words shouted out in a hurry, his whole body suddenly softened, and then he turned around, his eyes widened, he stepped forward tightly and grabbed Li Sanlin's shoulder, and asked eagerly:

"What do you say? My ears were a little heavy, and I didn't hear clearly...... You say it out loud again! ”

“…… Grandpa, you mourn! My aunt and grandmother Li Le'an were killed by thieves...... Woo"

Li Deng's lips trembled very quickly for a while, he opened his big mouth but did not make any sound, his hands tightly covered his chest, and then he leaned back directly......

Thanks to Li Fu's quick eyes beside him, at the moment when the back of Li Deng's head was about to hit the bluestone steps, Li Fu's outstretched arm wrapped his master's neck amiribly, which avoided the tragic end of the Prime Minister of Youbei who followed his 'dead daughter' due to excessive grief.

Of course, Li Deng's reaction was all expected by Li Sanlin, although his appearance was still full of tears at this time, but seeing Li Deng's realistic reaction at this time, he finally let down some of his defenses: It seems that the faceless head really belongs to the eldest lady of the family herself.

Half an hour later, Li Fu, who looked grim, walked in front of Li Sanlin, who was still kneeling in the courtyard:

"The master is awake, and I will send you a reply. The old man doesn't care who you are, and no matter what your relationship with the prime minister is, I will tell you one, and you kid will remember it for me! If you go back to the Prime Minister's words in a while, you must be careful with every word, but if our master faints again, at this time tomorrow, you can only eat fragrant ashes! ”

After that, Li Fu didn't look at him anymore, and walked out of the gate with his hands behind his back. Of course, while Li Sanlin secretly smacked him in his heart, his eyes also looked at something strange: this old housekeeper, I don't know when, the cyan cloth belt that was originally tied around his waist has now been replaced by a white cloth strip.

Li Sanlin rubbed his eyes vigorously, and knelt in front of Li Deng's collapse with a 'gasp and three pumps':

"Grandpa, you're mourning...... It's all Sanlin's incompetence...... Don't hurt your body...... Woo......"

Li Deng, who was lying on the hospital bed, now looks like he has aged a lot in an instant; In those sharp eagle eyes, you can't see the splendor and majesty of the past. At this time, even the tone of the question became empty and numb:

"Who has found the murderer? Where is Le'an's body......"

Li Sanlin thought of Li Fu's warning words, hesitated for a long time, still bit his teeth and crossed his heart, ignoring the faint pain coming from his shoulder, and replied very straightforwardly:

"Back to Grandpa's words! The news of the murderer has not been found for the time being, and the body of my aunt and grandmother ...... My aunt's body is still there, but her old man's head is ...... The head was cut off by the thieves with a sharp blade......! ”

This Li Sanlin! Sure enough, there was no kindness!

As people get older, their emotional control will gradually weaken. Therefore, whenever the old man encounters this kind of 'white-haired person sending black-haired person', he can usually hide it for a while, and can only rely on the passage of time to slowly let the old man be mentally prepared for himself, and then give him some breath little by little; in this way, it may not relieve much pain, but it can also leave some buffer time.

However, this Li Sanlin obviously received Li Fu's warning, but he still chose to 'tell him bluntly', and also divided Li Le'an's death into two parts, and described it as if it was happening right in front of Li Deng's eyes.

It can be seen from this that Li Sanlin's original intention was not to report the funeral at all, but to kill someone!

When Li Deng heard this, even though he had known that the matter was fake, he thought in his heart that his only daughter, Li Le'an, was almost beheaded by a thief, and he also felt like a knife, and tears of heartbreak flowed out so naturally......

It is true that since you are doing a play, you have to do a full set. After Li Deng 'woke up' again, he stretched out a somewhat thin left hand and tightly held Li Sanlin, who was guarding the edge of the sickbed:

"Sanlin, the old man lost his mother when he was young, his wife when he was young, and his daughter when he was middle-aged, and he has lived a hard life in this life...... Hey, Le'an's boy...... The kid ...... Ay...... The old man has been in poor health recently, and if he goes back to take care of the child's funeral, he will definitely go with her...... Le'an's funeral, you can let Li Gao help with the cooking. Maybe after another three or five years, when the old man has slowed down and stabilized his mood, he will go to her grave and add a handful of soil, that is...... I ...... painfully."

Speaking of this, Li Deng's eyes suddenly widened, some blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he screamed in pain, and then fainted again.

This scene fell in Li Sanlin's eyes, and he was overjoyed when he saw it: it seems that he has come from thousands of miles to run this trip, and he really came to the right place!
