In order to better fight against the Zhang family and safeguard their own interests, at the suggestion of Li Yanqing, the Li clan members of Li Wencun and Qianshan Village established a temporary clan association, and everyone elected Li Yanqing, Li Zhen, Li Dayin and Li Hong of Qianshan Village as the main people.

Once this land turmoil is over, they will officially break with Lushanfang.

Everyone went home separately, completely opposite to the previous depression, they left in good spirits, confidence began to regain, Li Yanqing's return undoubtedly gave them hope.

In the guest hall, Li Yanqing invited several clansmen to sit down, and asked Uncle Zhong to make a pot of tea, among the three, Li Zhen and Li Dayin were successively the Baozheng of Li Wencun, with a higher prestige, and Li Hong was Li Dongdong's father, who was highly respected in Qianshan Village, and the seven Li clansmen in Qianshan Village unanimously elected him as a representative.

The clansmen's gathering was just to cheer up and unify the consensus, but the specific countermeasures had to be discussed by the four of them.

At this time, Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and asked the three of them: "I want to confirm one thing first, is the land in Xiaohonglin that the Zhang family wants to buy, or does Zhang Junbao personally want to buy it?" ”

This is what Li Yanqing wants to be clear about the most, and he thinks about it all the way, although Li Zhen tells him that he is a child of the Zhang family to seize the land, and compares this matter to the water grabbing weapon fight ten years ago, which sounds like the second clan fight between the Zhang family and the Li family.

But Li Yanqing still felt a little strange, how could Zhang Junbao not look like a selfless person, how could he share such a good thing with his clansmen? And at the beginning of the year, he used the matter of Wang Gui's fleet to challenge the patriarch, and proposed the transfer of Xiaohonglin's land as a condition, and the patriarch said that he was buying land for his sons.

At this time, Li Dayin immediately said: "Of course it's the Zhang family, when Zhang Junbao came to seize the land, he kept saying that this land already belonged to the Zhang family, how could it be his personal possession?" ”

After Li Dayin finished speaking, he saw that Li Zhen and Li Hong did not respond to him, he was a little stunned, "What, am I not right?" ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said: "I also figured out this truth just now, he has already given up the position of patriarch to his eldest son, if it is for the Zhang family, it should be his son who comes forward." ”

Next to him, Li Hong said slowly: "I know about this matter, my son-in-law who is not angry is doing things for Zhang Junbao, he came to persuade me not to participate in this matter yesterday, he revealed to me that this land was purchased by Zhang Junbao personally, and it has nothing to do with the Zhang family, Zhang Junbao spent money to hire more than 20 children of the Zhang family from the Bow and Arrow Society." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, as he expected, Zhang Junbao only had eight grandsons, of course he wanted to seek land wealth for his children and grandchildren.

Zhang Junbao moved the entire Zhang family out, which was nothing more than pulling tiger skins as a banner to scare the Li clan people in Li Wencun and Qianshan Village.

Li Dayin suddenly said excitedly: "Since it has nothing to do with the Zhang family, then we will mobilize the clansmen to fight them fiercely tomorrow and kill Zhang Junbao that dog." ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "We first need to reach a consensus, to avoid a tough conflict with them, I'm not afraid of Zhang Junbao, I just don't want to see the Li family's children die again....."

Without waiting for Li Yanqing to finish speaking, Li Dayin stood up and shouted with resentment on his face: "Killing people is paying for their lives, is my son dying in vain?" ”

Li Hong next to him sighed and said: "Yanqing is right, I also participated in the armed fight with the Zhang family ten years ago to grab water, my nephew died in that armed fight, my eldest brother suffered for ten years, and finally died blindly, there are only more than 20 young Zhuang people in our two villages who can mobilize to fight, and the number of people on the other side is about the same, but people are people who practice martial arts every day, and if we fight, I am afraid that we will have to die, and when it comes to that point, no one can afford it." ”

"Then give the land to Zhang Junbao, and convene everyone to discuss?" Li Dayin was very dissatisfied and shouted.

Li Zhen glared at him fiercely, "What are you anxious about, can you listen to Yanqing finish speaking!" ”

Li Dayin squatted in the corner, and then stopped talking, Li Yanqing continued with a smile: "I'm afraid that Third Uncle Yin didn't understand what I meant, I mean that the struggle must be strategic, we must make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid fighting with them, and I am by no means afraid of them, if I am not mistaken, Li Wengui did not go to Anyang at all, he is in Lushan Town, he is waiting for Zhang Junbao to beat us up, and give up the land by default, he can sell the land to fill his pocket." ”

Li Zhen was a little puzzled and said: "Yanqing said that we should promote our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, so what are our strengths?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "In two days, Jiang Zhixian will come down to mediate the fight between the Li and Zhang families, and at that time, I will let Li Wengui go around without eating." ”

.........

Li Zhen and Li Hong are gone, but Li Yanqing left Li Dayin, Li Dayin and Li Yanqing's father Li Daqi are cousins, Li Daqi's father and son have two generations of single transmission, but Li Dayin has four brothers, but the eldest and the second are both young and young, and only the third Li Dayin and the fourth Li Daguang are left, they are the closest people to Li Yanqing's blood among the Li clan.

Li Dayin has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Li Yanbiao is working in the capital, and the second son Li Yanhu, nicknamed Huzi, was unfortunately beaten to death by the children of the Zhang family in the fight the night before, which made Li Dayin fall into great grief.

Li Yanqing said to Li Dayin: "I know that the third uncle can't swallow this breath, please rest assured, the third uncle will pay for his life, I will never let Huzi die in vain." ”

Li Dayin's eyes widened, "Yanqing.... Didn't you just say that! ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "I just said that there must be a strategy in the struggle, but it is by no means a confession, I promised the third uncle, I will definitely kill Zhang Junbao and avenge the tiger." ”

Li Dayin was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he knelt down and said, "As long as I can avenge Huzi, I will give you all my life!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly helped him up, "Third uncle, don't be like this, Yanqing still has something to ask the third uncle for help." ”

"You say, I can do anything!"

Li Yanqing whispered a few words in his ear, Li Dayin wiped away his tears and nodded repeatedly, "No problem, I will definitely do it." ”

"Third uncle, this matter is very important, but don't leak it out, especially don't let the fourth uncle know."

As long as Li Dayin can avenge his son, he will agree to whatever Li Yanqing asks him to do, he nodded slowly and said: "I know in my heart, not a word will be leaked!" ”

.........

In the evening of the same day, Li Yanqing left Li Wencun and returned to the county seat under the 'witness' of the whole village......

As Li Yanqing inferred, there are still seven days left before the New Year's family sacrifice, at this juncture, how could Li Wengui go to Anyang County and give up his first family sacrifice after becoming the patriarch?

Therefore, Li Wengui's visit to Anyang County was just an excuse, and he was still hiding in the Li Mansion, coldly watching the struggle between Zhang Junbao and the Li Wencun clan for land.

As a patriarch, it should be his duty to protect the lives of his clansmen and the core interests of his family, but Li Wengui has been extremely disappointed in the clansmen of Li Wencun and Qianshan Village.

He negotiated with Li Zhen and Li Dayin several times, asking them to still sacrifice with the clansmen of Lushanfang in the New Year, but they refused without hesitation.

Li Wengui walked to the table, picked up a contract and flipped through it, this is a new contract he signed with Zhang Junbao today, he couldn't figure it out, Zhang Junbao would actually lose the previous contract? I have to sign a new one.

This contract is actually just a letter of intent, Zhang Junbao intends to buy the land of the Li family's Xiaohonglin, and Li Wengui also promised to sell this land to him, but the price has not yet been finally negotiated.

Li Wengui wanted to sell it to Zhang Junbao for five yuan per mu, but Zhang Junbao was only willing to pay three yuan per mu, and the total price difference was 2,000 yuan, and neither of them would give in.

In the end, Li Wengui proposed a compromise plan, if Zhang Junbao could come forward to solve the trouble between Li Wencun and Qianshan Village, then he would give in and sell the land to Zhang Junbao for three times and three hundred wen.

Of course, Zhang Junbao understood that Li Wengui wanted to use his own hands to clean up the clansmen of Li Wencun and Qianshan Village, but he had been peeping at the land of Xiaohonglin for many years, and Li Wengui's bid was also within his range, so he agreed, but this was just a verbal transaction between the two parties, and it was not implemented on paper.

Li Wengui has been peeking at the land and land of the patriarch, and he has calculated in his heart that he can at least reap tens of thousands of benefits from this.

Only two months after he became the patriarch, he privately sold the 3,000 stone grain in the family's righteous warehouse to a group of private grain dealers from Shandong, and the proceeds from the sale of grain were all in his pocket.

Although it aroused the dissatisfaction of the whole clan, he didn't care, and set his eyes on the ten hectares of clan land on the side of Xiaohonglin, and then sell the fifteen hectares of clan land on the side of Lushan Town in the next step, and the oil and water were exhausted, so it didn't matter if this patriarch was wrong.

Li Wengui got the news that Li Yanqing had come back at noon today, and he convened his clan to discuss, which made him quite nervous, seeing that the sale of the land of Xiaohonglin had reached the last moment, but Li Yanqing had a horizontal stick, did this little bastard really want to get along with himself?

Of course, Li Wengui knew that Li Yanqing's real purpose was for the death of his eldest brother half a year ago, this little bastard resolutely refused to stop, it was a bit tricky, mainly because Li Yanqing understood Yuan in the exam, and his identity was different from before, and he was regarded as the future patriarch by the clansmen of Li Wencun and Qianshan Village, Li Wengui was very worried, once Li Yanqing really intervened, I am afraid that the matter would not end so simply.

At this time, the housekeeper reported at the door: "Master, Li Daguang is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

After a while, Li Daguang walked into the study quickly, bowed and saluted: "Daguang see the patriarch!" ”

Li Daguang is an eyeliner that Li Wengui planted in Li Wencun, he is Li Dayin's brother, and Li Dayin is Li Wencun's Baozheng, basically Li Wengui has a clear grasp of what the movements of the people in Li Wencun are.

Although Li Daguang was once dismissed by Li Wengui to the position of caretaker of the ancestral hall, he seemed to be the loyal lackey of the old patriarch, but this person was very good at seeing the wind and steering, and when the old patriarch died, he immediately took refuge in Li Wengui, and became Li Wengui's loyal lackey, which was quite valued by Li Wengui, and he also gained a lot of benefits in the past few months.

"Let me ask you, what did Li Yanqing say when he convened the clansmen this afternoon?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I guess it's just to cheer everyone up, so that everyone doesn't give up easily!"

"You estimate?" Li Wengui's eyes widened, "Didn't you go to the meeting in the afternoon?" ”

Li Daguang wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "No one informed me, I just heard about it, but I still have an important matter to report to the patriarch!" ”

Li Wengui was really annoyed in his heart, he gave Li Daguang so many benefits, he didn't work at a critical time, what use was he there?

"Something else, say it quickly!" Li Wengui glared at Li Daguang with great dissatisfaction.

Li Daguang trembled and said: "I just heard from the innkeeper in the town that Li Yanqing had rushed back to the county seat and had just left. ”

Li Wengui was slightly stunned, why did Li Yanqing arrive at noon, but rushed back overnight? What happened in the county, didn't he want to meddle in the affairs of the people of Li Wen Village?

Li Wengui was puzzled for a while.
