Chapter 037: Chess Pieces Abandon Pawns
Li Hongshen was silent for a while when he heard this, he didn't expect this reason, but he felt that it seemed that only such a reason would make this son make a mistake and murder his brother. Since ancient times, the family property has been inherited by www.biquge.info the eldest son, and if other sons want to divide the family, they can only get a small part, which is a fact that cannot be changed. Even the emperor, the throne is mostly passed to the eldest son, this is called orthodoxy, and even the emperor does not dare to disobey it easily!
There are many examples of brothers fighting each other because of family property, but he really can't imagine that the inheritance of his own family business will lead to discord between their brothers. Such an answer made him feel very painful, and he wanted to kill this unproductive son. But tiger poison doesn't eat children! Looking at his youngest son, Li Hongshen still wants to give him a chance, hoping that he can reform himself.
After a while, Li Hongshen spoke: "Do you know that what you have committed is a capital crime?" If your father hands you over to the government, your life will be over! ”
Li Xiude was stunned when he heard this, the meaning of his father's words was obvious, was he willing to give himself another chance? Thinking of this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Father, the child knows that he is wrong, and the child has no complaints about how the father wants to punish the child." ”
"Are you truly remorseful?"
"Yes!"
Li Hongshen's shrewd eyes stared at his son's eyes, and Li Xiude didn't avoid his eyes, just staring at him. After a long time, Li Hongshen saw that his expression was calm, so he said, "Okay! Dad will give you another chance, you will go over and admit your mistake to your eldest brother now, whether your eldest brother is beaten or punished, you have to live well, understand? ”
"The child understands!"
Seeing that his father was really willing to give him a chance, Li Xiude solemnly kowtowed before getting up to leave. His father's attitude towards him made him a little embarrassed, and his demeanor just now was half pretended, and half was real. To this day, in fact, he has some regrets, regretting so many wrong things he has done. But now that he is deep in the mud, it is not easy to stop, and he doesn't know how he should choose now.
In the evening, Li Xiude came to his eldest brother's yard. When he came, he was holding a wooden stick as thick as a baby's arm, and when he came, he went straight to Li Xiuwen's room. But he was stopped by the maid Qiaoyun and told him that the eldest young master was waiting for him in the study early, and he walked to the study again. Qiaoyun looked at his back, his eyes full of doubts.
"Big brother, you know everything, my brother is here to admit his mistake to you today, and it's up to you to beat or punish him!"
As soon as Li Xiude entered the study, he kowtowed to Li Xiuwen to admit his mistakes, and spoke without any delay and neatly. Li Xiuwen was not surprised, from the attitude shown by his father, he guessed that this would be the result, and he also guessed that his father would let Li Xiude admit his mistake to himself. He smiled faintly: "It's still the second brother's clever means, and it's really lucky that the eldest brother can survive to this day." ”
Li Xiude didn't care about his run, and whoever was calculated several times and almost died would be resentful. He continued: "If the eldest brother feels that the punishment is not relieved, you can kill me with a sword, and the younger brother will never resist today!" ”
"Are you sincere?" Li Xiuwen couldn't guess his thoughts, and asked suspiciously.
"Yes!"
But why is that? Why do you hate me so much and want to kill me? ”
Li Xiuwen asked the question that had been lying in his heart, he looked for all the fragments of this body left in his sea of memories, but he couldn't find the memory of their brother's discord. On the contrary, from childhood to adulthood, the relationship between the two brothers has been that of brothers, friends, and harmony in the eyes of outsiders.
"Just because you were born two years earlier than me, you are the eldest son of the Li family." Li Xiude said calmly.
Fight for family property? Could that be his real motives? Li Xiuwen was skeptical. Since this was what he said personally, no matter how much he asked, he would not have a second answer, so Li Xiuwen temporarily suppressed this question in his heart.
"In this case, if you sincerely repent in the future, the eldest brother will no longer care about you about the previous things, you can do it yourself, go back."
Since he promised his father, Li Xiuwen didn't want to pursue it too much. Now that he has decided to give him another chance, he doesn't need to do anything superfluous, and beating him can't make up for the damage he has suffered before, so why waste his strength?
Li Xiude was stunned again, he spared himself like this? This is family affection? The father can tolerate his big mistakes, and the eldest brother can also give himself a chance to repent and mend himself. Did the things you did to him before be too wrong?
On the way back, Li Xiude was still thinking about these questions, but he couldn't control his behavior now, he had fallen too deep and too deep. If you want to stop at this time, I'm afraid that the master won't let you go! He was self-aware from the beginning: "I am just a chess piece after all, how can I have the final say in my own fate?" Chess pieces, chess pieces, and when there is still use value, they are chess pieces; When it loses its use value, it is an outcast! ”
Li Xiude returned to his room, but a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, he really wanted to fight for himself and fight for a chance to repent. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed softly, he never dared to disobey his master's will, he knew the consequences.
I turned off the lights and lay on the bed, but I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep for a long time. Once the thought is sown in the bottom of his heart, it will take root and sprout, how can he control it?
It wasn't until late at night that Li Xiude made up his mind. He got up and put on his clothes, and quietly left his room, and rolled out of the window, his figure disappearing into the night.
On the street, Li Xiude carefully avoided the night patrol, hurried to the door of a mansion, went around to the back door of the mansion, and stepped forward to knock gently.
After a while, the door opened, and the man who opened it was the beardless man who had often met with him to convey orders. The man opened the door and shouted, "Why are you here?" ”
"I want to see my master."
"It's nonsense!"
The man's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and then he thought that he should have something urgent when he came over so late. Then he said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”
He let Li Xiude in, and glanced left and right outside the door before gently closing the door. But he didn't notice that in the shadow of the corner of the wall not far away, a figure stood quietly.
After the door closed for a while, the figure came out of the shadow in the corner, and this person was Chen Yi. He looked quietly in the direction of the door for a long time before quietly turning around, and his figure soon disappeared into the night.
