Text Chapter 22 The power of the two sides
"Tell me your reasons first! After all, the two of them are your servants. The little county lord put away his face, and his face was cold again.
"Only they are the most likely to be attracted by outsiders, although there were no less than dozens of people who saw and heard about the dinner last night, but I found a lot of faces among the other people, although they were all slaves of the Li family's compound before, and the people who could get close to me as the master of the status level should all be promoted after the trip between me and my parents! Now I think even the most serious thing! ”
"Tell me about it!"
"I suspect that the death of my parents is a bit strange at the moment, because there was indeed a viral epidemic on the way west, but when I returned to the caravan station, it was only my family who lost their lives! The whole caravan categorically would not have anything to do with us for money, because it was entrusted by my father's old friend in Luoyang City, and I didn't find out that my belongings were lost at that time! Now I suspect they swallowed some kind of drug that was very deep before they left! ”
"Didn't that Taoist master accompany you for a while? If your parents were ill, wouldn't they have noticed it with his old man's medical skills? ”
Li Zhixin secretly said, where there is an old Taoist appear, everything is just made up by his own family, of course, a certain drug swallowing by Li Lezhan and his wife is very likely to be a reality, and it is definitely not made up.
It's just that the previous lie has been weaved out, and it's not good to overturn himself again, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to deduce: "If that kind of pill or juice is wrapped in wax pills and swallowed, it is not easy to be found out if it stays in the body, not to mention that the old man has been with us for a very short time, as far as I know, because his identity is confidential, he has not given my parents a pulse!" ”
"Even if there is any suspicion, now the remains of my uncle and aunt have long been incinerated and buried in ashes, but there is no evidence!"
"You don't have to worry about this, I have a solution! It's not just that that makes me wonder, it's the fire from yesterday! During this time, I would go to our hunting ground almost every day when I was free, and a few days ago, there were still family members who were worried about me and followed me from afar, but yesterday I didn't notice it at all! And I've never fallen asleep in the wilderness, and I'm not stupid, or I have nothing to love for, otherwise how could I choose a wilderness where wild creatures like the hunting grounds are frequent? ”
In ancient times, there was no condition to test the composition of ashes, and even professional drug experts could only judge the existence of poisons and the type of poison through observation and silver needle testing.
At this time, there was no modern instrument in hand, and there was no way to test it, but Li Zhi wanted to rely on the grass to startle the snake to stimulate the people hidden in the shadows to appear by themselves.
"Didn't Uncle Yang say that you fainted due to the smoke and fire?"
"That's true, but there's a fire that won't be hidden? The only possibility is that I had passed out by then! ”
"You mean, like your uncle and aunt, you have also taken your hands and feet?"
"It's a great possibility! And that day, I didn't find anyone behind me! It's a pity that I only remembered it at this time. ”
"It's not too late! Those who can be temporarily absent from the master and have the authority to promote and serve subordinates are indeed only the great butler can do it! ”
"So I didn't suspect Master Liu, and I can conclude that Steward Zhang must have a huge dependence behind him! Otherwise, with his identity, if he wants to seek the Li family's property, he obviously does not have the ability, even if I die, the family property also needs to be recovered by the imperial court, which has already been set in the special preferential treatment contract for enjoying the food seal, and it is a well-known thing. ”
"Is that scary?"
"This is inevitable, because without the help of some people in the court, in fact, Steward Zhang has not gained much! Even if Master Liu colludes with him, he will only abscond with the silver, and the fixed assets will never be replaced with money, but it can be achieved by arranging someone to take over in the whole way. And, I suppose you are bound to wonder in your heart, even if it all comes true, what does it have to do with our relatives? ”
"Sure enough, they grew up together, you are a roundworm in my stomach, and I can't hide anything from you!"
In the face of his question, the county lord of Qingqi smiled tenderly, the tacit understanding between the two has been a long time, and it is something she has long been used to, and regards it as the greatest relief in her heart.
"With such a bold guess, it naturally comes from Mo Jun's reaction! The three generations of a wealthy family like him can be said to be quite powerful people in Chang'an City, except for the descendants of the Li royal family. Moreover, he and Brother Junliang both belong to the ranks of the big gentlemen in the city, and it is natural that he is arrogant, and the only person who can cause him psychological pressure is someone who is stronger than his family! I have been in Chang'an City for nearly two years, and you were only sixteen years old when I left, and during my absence, it must have been a bigger man in Chang'an City who made a statement, treating you as someone who must be married, otherwise Mo Jun would not have behaved so abnormally. ”
"Am I that good? Although I don't know who is raised to the top four beauties in Chang'an City, it means that the other three are not inferior to me, as far as I know, they are not only the same age as me, but also the people who treat the boudoir! ”
In fact, both of them understand that they have grown up together since childhood, and the powerful King of Linhuai, in the context of feudal ideology is quite solid, if they do not prevent such men and women from giving and receiving intimateness, it will inevitably attract all kinds of suspicion from outsiders.
Because of this, it is not surprising that those people with a heart regard Li Zhi as a complete hatred, in other words, the Li family where he is located has long been calculated, so it is not surprising.
"You also know the market of more wolves and less meat, and the huge benefits of marrying the county lord who is a second grade are obvious, that is, you are not qualified to rank among the four beauties, and you will also be a sought-after item!"
"You're the goods! Is that how you describe your own woman? Lord Qingqi said strangely.
"I'm just borrowing a metaphor!" Li Zhi happily stretched out his hand to cover her little hand resting on the table, "I'm glad I came back in time, otherwise it will cause my lifelong regrets, not to mention, and it will also hurt your life!" ”
"You're so beautiful, can't I be happy without you? But I'll resist until you come back, and once it proves that you're in the same mind as I am, I'll be with you at all costs! It's a pity that you were willing to leave me back then, and your cowardice in knowing the difficulties made me hate it very much for a while! ”
"I'll admit I was timid at the time, but don't you think I've changed too much this time on this trip to the west? Otherwise, with my previous guts, I'm afraid that staying in Chang'an City will be useless! ”
A glimmer of light flowed in the eyes of the county lord of Qingqi, "Maybe this is fate, I can't say which is right and wrong before, at least I finally welcome back the new you, I'm afraid I'm the most comforting!" Now you dare to collide with tradition, and your skills are enhanced, and even Uncle Yang is willing to bow down to your medical skills, which is the you I have fantasized about countless times in my heart! ”
Li Zhi was also emotional, "I don't think it's fate, but some kind of fate!" To put it sadly, it may be because my parents have exchanged their lives for the rebirth of their offspring! ”
This idea is by no means an excuse, in the memory of his predecessor, the second elder is the kind of rare kind-hearted person, although there is some careful thinking about seeing the wind and steering the rudder, but it is also the premise that there is no greater power in the court to rely on, if you want the younger generations to return to the officialdom to obtain the reuse of real power, there is only another way to go.
Moreover, since he can parasitize on Li Zhi's body, of course there will be some kind of chance in the underworld, even if in his previous life, he had a deep skepticism about all the ethereal and strange things.
But this rebirth, and the intelligence device that inexplicably appeared in his head, had already told this man that anything was possible.
Not to mention that his memory still retains the memory of his predecessor Li Zhi's parents, so this borrowed soul is also grateful to the second elder.
In an instant, the county lord of Qingqi felt a little sadness in his man's heart, and held his hand and whispered softly: "Since this is the case, you should live a wonderful life to laugh at the second elder!" I would love to spend the rest of my life with you on your way! ”
"I remember that they actually loved you very much when they were alive, but your status and family situation made the two of them feel afraid! At least when I was a child, I overheard the sigh between the two elders several times, and the meaning of the words was nothing more than lamenting that my life was not at the right time, and the beautiful, virtuous, and wise little lord could not get his son's heart's wish! ”
"Am I that good?" The county lord of Qingqi was extremely shrewd to change the topic along with these words, in order to offset the other party's previous moment of pain.
"The so-called beauty, three points of appearance and seven points of dress; The so-called temperament, three points of talent, seven points of garlic; The so-called gentleness, three points of forbearance and seven points of depression. And your appearance is made in heaven, your temperament comes from the bone marrow, and the gentleness comes from the heart! This is by no means my flattery, because after more than ten years of fighting, I can't get tired of you, and you always treat me with a true temperament! ”
The warmth in the eyes of the county lord of Qingqi was even worse, "I found that you are more and more able to speak!" But I don't look at you like this, in fact, you have a lot of problems in my eyes, you were a little cowardly before, and you are a little unenterprising for the future, and you have a wide body and good looks! But your kindness to me is as natural as if it were natural, without the slightest pretense. ”
"I admit what you're saying, but have I changed some of your minds now?"
"Yes, you have come back this time to make me realize that you have come very close to the best fantasy in my mind! I don't mean flattery, you are far better than your peers! ”
"Although you and I praise each other so shamelessly, it is much more despised by outsiders, but it is far better than many people climbing to the top of a ladder only to find that the ladder has been erected on the wrong wall. At least our private tout skills are already very deep, and even in difficult times we can do it to comfort Liao! ”
The county lord of Qingqi burst out happily, "Isn't it that you will say next that it is rare for us to smell the same, so let's live together?" ”
