"Hurry up, don't let anyone see it." Tong Hang said in a low voice, pulling Cui'er and running towards the back door.

"That's it?" Cui'er asked worriedly.

"Go back, we're going to clean up the blood." Tong Hang said as he ran: "Lao Wei was drunk, fell into the river and drowned. ”

"Drowned?" Cui'er asked puzzled.

"Quick, I'll tell you later." entered the door, but saw the removing the blood on the ground, and the two hurriedly ran over to help.

"Is the old guy hiding?" saw them coming over and asked hurriedly.

"Ba'er said he was drunk and drowned." Cui'er said busily.

"Drowned drunk?" were stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's good to drown, alas, it's good to drown." ”

Tong Hang couldn't help but be stunned, why did seem to know this method? "Mother."

"Alas, drunk and drowned, and so did your father." As soon as he heard the say this, Tong Hang suddenly understood. When Cui'er heard this, she opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at the in a daze. Could it be that Dingbo was also drunk and drowned like this?

※※※※※※※※※※※※

When the old lady returned, everything was as usual, nothing happened.

A few days later, news came from the East Courtyard that Lao Wei was drunk and fell into the water and drowned. The body was found in the Anfang River section of Ganyu County, and when the city guards commanded those who made a fortune from the dead, they were moved to Houmiao Street for people to claim, and they were recognized as the old man of the Li Mansion. So someone found Lao Wei's shoes and wine jug on the bank of the river in the back street of Li Jiaji.

The second son has been having a hard time these days, he is always throwing things, and even the second housekeeper Li who took the East Courtyard is also having a hard time, and everyone in the East Courtyard is walking lightly. Several girls have already lost their surnames, for fear of angering this evil star.

Li De has been standing for an hour, and the second son has also scolded for a whole hour.

This old man is really looking for death, what kind of feet do you wash after drinking? It's purely nothing to do, won't you go to Wanhualou to wash your feet, didn't you always go there before, looking for your fat woman to wash?

There is also a reason for the second son's scolding, he used to always let others get drunk and drown, but now he actually let others scare himself like this, how can he not be terrified, which shows that someone has already targeted him. Who is this man? Is it the eldest brother, does he feel that he is a threat to him? Is it because in the past few years, the old man has handed over the south business to take care of himself? Just because he is a concubine, he has to live under him forever?

"Dezi, has Lao Wei drunk?" The second son, Li Xunzhou, asked.

"Drink it, otherwise how could you have lost your footing and drowned?" Li De was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Gongzi meant by asking.

Li Xunzhou frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "I'm talking about before, have you ever found him drinking?" ”

"Well, no." Li De thought for a moment and replied, "Childe, this is really not. ”

"Well, in this way, Lao Wei drowned because he was drunk, and you don't believe it."

"This ......" is really true when you think about it. Lao Wei is lustful, but he is never good at drinking, and he never touches alcohol. How could such a person get drunk and drown?

"Looks like someone is eyeing us." Li Xun turned his head and asked Li Er's housekeeper, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

"This ......" Second Steward Li shook his head and said, "It's really hard to say, Childe, I don't think it should be the eldest Prince." ”

"How so?" Li Xunzhou couldn't help but be a little curious, he thought he was the big brother, why did he think it wasn't the big brother?

"The eldest prince has been doing business in the north all these years, and I heard that it has now reached a bottleneck stage, and since last year, he has entered Beijing, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back in the second half of this year. During this period, the lord has been there a few times, how can the eldest prince have time to take care of him. ”

"Even though it is said that it is so, he can still tell others to do it." Li Xun said: "Except for the eldest brother, who has such a clumsy method." Only the dead ghost is such a person, who doesn't think through before doing things. ”

"Childe, could it be someone else. If it's the eldest prince, I really can't think of any reason for him to do this. ”

"Why not. If I fall, he will be able to control the business of the north and south of the family, and my uncle has no son, and one day he will dominate all the businesses of our Li family. ”

"No, he couldn't do it alone. He can only do well if he relies on Childe to help him support both sides. He wants you to be under him, not to fall. Li Er's housekeeper said: "The eldest prince does not have the courage of the master, and the master cannot be unified, so it is even more difficult for him." ”

"Maybe, who's going to be targeting us?" Li Xunzhou also felt that Li Er's analysis was reasonable.

"Could it be the old lady?" Li Er's housekeeper said: "Last year, Lao Wei went to the backyard to make trouble, and was beaten by the old lady with a broken leg, and they hated each other. ”

"That day was the day of worship, and the old beggar went to Wanfu Temple." Li Xun Zhou said: "She wants to save face very much, how can she use yin tricks to hurt people?" ”

"Could it be Niu Ba?" Li De muttered.

"How could it be him? That kid is only twelve years old, can he kill you? Li Xun rolled his eyes on Monday and said, "Think about it with your brain, he will already be Amitabha Buddha if he is not killed by you." ”

"Maybe he didn't go to the backyard at all, the old lady went to Wanfu Temple that day, and there were only Xu Pozi and Niu Ba left in the backyard." Li Er's housekeeper said, "What is he doing in the backyard?" Looking for Niu Ba for that leg or for Xu Pozi? Looking for Mrs. Xu......"

"Find Mrs. Xu." Li Xun said: "Who else can he find as a womanizer, he must be looking for Mrs. Xu." ”

"Mrs. Xu can't kill him, and even more so the twelve-year-old Niu Ba."

"Childe, that day Lao Wei told me to go out to gamble twice, and asked me if I would go, and when he saw that I didn't go, he left, and he didn't say that he would go to the backyard." Li Dedao: "There are only two in the backyard, Mrs. Xu and Niu Ba, and then ...... After that, before the old lady came back, Cui'er came back, about half a fragrant kung fu, and the old lady came back. ”

"If you didn't go to the backyard, where will it go?" Li Xunzhou said to himself: "Then who will be eyeing us?" ”

"Childe." There was a subordinate calling at the door.

"What's the matter, come in and talk about it." Li Xunzhou asked.

After a subordinate came in, he bowed respectfully and said, "Son, we have found out that Mrs. Xu is already seriously ill and lying in bed, and I heard that she was beaten." ”

"Hit?" Li Xunzhou muttered to himself. "When was you beaten?"

"It was the day when the old lady went to Wanfu Temple to make a vow. That day, someone saw Lao Wei in the middle courtyard and entered the backyard, and he never came out after that. ”

"It doesn't make sense. There are only Xu Pozi and Niu Ba in it, and it is impossible for Lao Wei to be killed by them. By the river in the back street, there are also Lao Wei's shoes and wine jugs. Second Steward Li muttered.
