Chapter 37: Catching Ghosts in the Dark

Second Mrs. Li's crazy appearance is like a terrible ghost asking for her life.

In comparison, Li Wenqing looked calm and calm: "People are keeping an eye on the inner house, especially the Ji family." He didn't expect Ji to be so troublesome.

"I knew that Sister Shu'er and Sister Tong should come back, and it can be regarded as a foil."

Li Wenqing said: "Don't lose a big one because of a small one, they just settled in the Ran family, and if there is a bad pool, they will give up their efforts." ”

Second Mrs. Li's lips were a little pale: "In the end, it was all caused by the Ji family, I really didn't expect her to set fire to force the eldest brother out." ”

Second Mrs. Li stepped forward and grabbed Li Wenqing's arm tightly, "Master must avenge Brother Cheng, if it weren't for Li Wenzhao's insistence on going against the Jiang family, how could Brother Cheng die, if Brother Cheng is here, why should we seek a future for Brother Lu like this, in the final analysis, this is just to get back what belongs to us." ”

"They think they can wipe everything out in a few years, no...... They can forget, I can't forget, that is my brother, my heart, when Brother Cheng died, the hands that were clenched tightly, I still remember how helpless he was in the river, how much he hoped that someone would come to save him. ”

Second Mrs. Li's face was full of resentment: "What a disaster, Li Wenzhao ruined my child for his career." The old lady knew that the long room was sorry for our second room...... But she wants to release Li Wenzhao in front of us, why, why do you tell me. ”

Second Mrs. Li said with a solemn smile: "They don't succeed, the reason why I let Li Wenzhao live until now is to see him suffer a lot, otherwise I would have killed him a long time ago, if the master refuses to help me, I will do it myself." ”

Li Wenqing seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, he stood up and walked out slowly.

When it got dark, the old house of the Li family seemed to be calm again.

Li Wenzhao served Mrs. Li to rest, and then walked outside, where Li Wenqing was already standing waiting for him.

"Let's go," Li Wenzhao said softly, "let's go to the study." ”

The two brothers didn't say anything all the way, only the lamp in Li Wenzhao's hand swayed in the wind.

This silence has lasted for ten years, making Li Wenzhao feel that he has been in the night ten years ago, and his heart is full of guilt and remorse.

"Let's see how much it can cost."

Li Wenzhao picked up a porcelain vase and opened it and smelled it: "This is Diyejia, I saw it when I was in the Shaofu Prison, even a small bottle costs twenty taels of silver." ”

"It's just that this kind of thing the mage said should not be used too much."

Li Wenqing said: "It's okay, it's mixed with other things, it's not pure, and there will be no problem." ”

"Where's this?" Li Wenqing handed over another porcelain bottle, "Benzoin is mixed with three percent of balsam, how much should it cost." ”

Li Wenzhao looked at Li Wenqing in shock: "Benzoin is a medicinal material, it is used to save lives at critical moments, not to mention that you can't do harmful things, and ...... Even if most of the people in my court don't know it, Hu Seng who is familiar with medicinal materials can know the truth at a glance. ”

Li Wenqing put away the medicine bottle, "Those Hu monks have long complained about the imperial court, and the imperial court has long had the determination to severely punish them. ”

Li Wenzhao's eyes widened, "How do you know this?" Have you really done something for the Jiang family? ”

Li Wenqing said indifferently: "Isn't it too late for my brother to be surprised now?" You haven't been making a price for these things all these years, you have seen a lot in the Shaofu Prison, and thanks to you, our things can be sold so smoothly. ”

Li Wenzhao's hands trembled a little: "I originally thought that you were just forced, but now it seems that you have forgotten how the Jiang family killed our relatives, and you have become their lackey." ”

"You slander Hu Seng because you are afraid that Hu Seng will expose you for selling fake Hu medicine, but people like Master Shikong are so calculated by you, you ...... Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future? ”

Li Wenqing's eyes were calm, and his voice was gloomy: "I followed my brother to do things, but I really received retribution, and my child was gone, what about the Jiang family?" is still prosperous, I came to tell my brother this, just to warn my brother not to repeat the mistakes of the past, against the Jiang family, my mother is old, and Brother Yong is seriously injured, this time you are afraid that you will not even be able to get out of Taiyuan City. ”

Li Wenzhao's lips twitched: "Second brother, if you hate me in your heart, as long as you take my life, why bother...... No matter what happens to the Jiang family, you don't want to do things for them anymore, it's not that Brother Lu can't get into the office, it's just ...... He should enter the Tai Academy for a few years, why don't I write a letter to the sect chief and ask the sect chief to come forward......"

Hearing the patriarch, Li Wenqing's eyes showed a little fear.

Since he was in charge of the family, he went to the clan several times, but the patriarch did not see him, which shows that he does not agree with him as the Taiyuan head of the family.

"Brother, don't use him to press me, after Princess Changning died ten years ago, he was already a dead man," Li Wenqing sneered, "I am also for the good of my own family in Taiyuan, don't forget that it was me who saved the Li family from fire and water a few years ago." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a scolding from outside.

"Get out of the way."

Li Wenqing frowned, this was the voice of Old Lady Li.

Mrs. Li asked people to stand in the courtyard with her support, and the two stewards bowed their heads to apologize to the old lady.

Mrs. Li said coldly, "Can't I come here?" ”

"No," said the steward, "we're just afraid of ......."

"Are you afraid of alarming the second uncle to talk to your father?"

This is Ji's voice.

Li Wenqing gritted his teeth, if they didn't go out again, I was afraid that it would make the old lady suspicious: "Let's go out, what should be said and what should not be said, the eldest brother knows it in his heart." ”

Two men walked out of the house one after the other.

"Do you still have any rules," Li Wenqing said, "why are you even stopping the old lady outside?" ”

The steward hastened to confess.

Li Wenzhao hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother, aren't you already asleep?" ”

Seeing the gray eldest son, Mrs. Li didn't know what to say, and was thinking about Ji Yanran beside her and said, "Grandmother is coming with me to catch ghosts." ”

"Dad, second uncle, did you see a ghost running over?"

Mrs. Li almost laughed, how could she not find Ji so interesting before. She had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by Ji's, who said that she saw a dark shadow in the garden, afraid that there was a ghost.

She was about to scold Ji, but found that Wen Zhao was gone.

Ji took her to the garden to look for ghosts under the pretext of pulling her, but met the two brothers in the study. There is nothing that cannot be said during the day, but it is necessary to wait for her to fall asleep and get together secretly.

Li Wenzhao was stunned for a moment: "No...... There is no ......"

Ji Yanran couldn't help but laugh in her heart, thanks to an honest person like her father-in-law, this kind of conversation can be accepted.

Li Wenqing looked at Ji Yanran: "What are you messing around, there are no ghosts here." ”

Ji Yanran said seriously: "Second uncle, there is really a ghost, not only I saw San Lang but also saw it." ”
