A sunny day will always make the mood feel particularly comfortable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But for Li Qingxiang, the former prime minister who retired from officialdom and was known for his philanthropy, the dazzling sunshine was so dazzling. In particular, the smell of blood in the air made him can't help but gag. Except for Mrs. Zhen and a few bold mothers-in-law, most of the female dependents, as well as those timid servants, hid in the backyard.

In the courtyard of the vestibule, it has become a huge slaughterhouse. Hundreds of chickens and ducks that were originally kept in partial homes were slaughtered and stacked in the front yard, and as the temperature rose, the unpleasant smell became stronger and stronger. Although the people were already trying their best, the smell of blood was not easy to dissipate. Buckets of water splashed onto the ground, and the color began to fade, and the cyan stone pavement gradually revealed.

I don't know who did it! I don't know when it was thrown into the courtyard, but when I heard the exclamation, the courtyard was already in such a shocking situation, and those who were in charge of the night patrol said for a long time that they had slept all night!

Someone enchanted again? Or is it the work of ghosts and gods? Otherwise, how could you not hear the slightest movement? Li Qingxiang felt a chill in his back. Li Qingxiang felt like there was a ball of cotton piled on his chest. More than ten days of torture is still going on! He knew that rumors were already rampant outside, and even every morning, those enthusiastic neighbors would come to see if the people from their Li family were still alive. He knew that a raised butcher's knife had been aimed at nearly 100 people in the Li family.

"The people who were sent out have not returned. Otherwise, Xianggong might as well show weakness, and then go to Xianggong Temple to invite a senior monk to see if it is a ghost......" Mrs. Zhen said cautiously, looking at Xianggong, who had always been assertive, but was restless at the moment.

Li Qingxiang's hand slapped on the table, and he snorted coldly: "Woman's opinion! What do you know? It's not as simple as you think? Calculating the time, the person sent will be back almost tomorrow, and if he can intervene, then the problem will be solved. ”

Li Qingxiang's reprimand was not unreasonable, and his heart was still anxious at the moment. Can the people who were sent out come back? Who is provoking themselves? It was a naked threatening letter, but it didn't say what he wanted. Money? If peace can be bought with money, he still needs to be in such a hurry as he is now? But the invisible enemy is constantly tormenting his nerves. He is a dignified man, and he must not show weakness easily, not to mention, he is also the prime minister of the former dynasty.

"Xianggong, in case ......" Mrs. Zhen is a delicate woman, of course she can see her husband's uneasiness, but the person in charge of the family has always been Xianggong, even if there are more questions in her heart, she didn't say anything more, but she was a little uneasy about the person her husband mentioned, "The person you mentioned, I don't think it's that powerful." The head catchers in this government and the adults in the state capital have all checked, but no clues have been found......"

"I know what he's capable of, and as long as he's willing to step up, the problem will definitely be solved." Li Qingxiang comforted his wife with confidence. At the moment, what he was most worried about was whether the two groups of messengers sent out would be able to invite that person over smoothly. I'll take care of the matter. You take care of the kids, it's fine, but don't let them come to the front yard. ”

"Master, come and see, come and see!" Li Fu, the housekeeper who was in charge of directing everyone to clean the yard, cried out in horror.

In addition to him, the people who originally seemed to be calm also became frightened. Li Qingxiang's heart sank, he first commanded a few bold servants to escort his wife back to the backyard, and saw his wife enter the backyard with his own eyes, so he came to the courtyard with a steady step. Following the direction pointed by the housekeeper Li Fu, Li Qingxiang glanced at it, but it was that glance that made Li Qingxiang's body shake slightly, and it was three big scarlet characters: kill, kill, kill!

If it were normal times, Li Qingxiang would definitely think that it was someone's prank, but the successive disasters that happened in the Li family compound convinced him that this was almost an ultimatum. He knows that officialdom has always been like a battlefield, although he has been an official for many years, and has always believed in the creed that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, but when everyone will be negligent, who knows who he has offended? Now that he is no longer in his position, his natural influence has plummeted. The government sent someone to check, but he didn't have a clue, just comforted him a few words without pain. The people who were sent were all straw bales, what could they find? I'm afraid that only that young man can resolve the crisis in front of me right now! But why hasn't he shown up yet?

"Master......" Li Fu, the housekeeper who was about the same age as Li Qingxiang, said cautiously: "Master, what should I do?" ”

Li Qingxiang knows very well that he is the backbone of everyone at the moment, and if he is in chaos, I am afraid that the situation will be even more difficult to clean up. He cleared his throat and sighed, "You should not have seen it." My bones are not old. What kind of wind and waves I didn't see, and could be frightened by this little trick? ”

His words were not carried out by the crowd as usual. With the exception of housekeepers, most of these are young people in their teens and twenties. The intermittent things that have happened in the past half a month have made everyone a soldier. These three words were the last straw that crushed these people's psychological defense line, but they were only afraid of Li Qingxiang's majesty, and he always took good care of them on weekdays, so they didn't dare to speak out.

Of course, Li Qingxiang is very aware of the psychology of these people, and he also knows that they are the same as himself, and they have all endured the same ordeal in the past few days. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the butler who was guarding there spoke for him first: "Everyone, we are all people who have received great favors from the master. It is all up to the master to give us food to feed us, young and old. Now that we're in trouble here, we can't be cowardly......"

"It's okay." Li Qingxiang cleared his throat: "No matter what, the other party seems to be coming for me Li Qingxiang." At this time, it is important for everyone to save their lives first. If you want to leave, go to the steward and make a year's advance of the regular silver, and settle yourself. When this disaster is over, please come back. If there are those who are willing to stay, stay and work. ”

"Master......" Li Fu looked at Li Qingxiang with an uneasy expression, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Just do as I say." Li Qingxiang nodded affirmatively again, he knows human nature too well, after all, it is important to save his life, "There is no need for everyone to suffer with our family." As long as you are willing to leave, you can leave at any time. ”

Everyone looked at each other, the suffering of half a month was like a fire roasting their nerves, listening to Li Qingxiang's words, the people who were originally hesitant suddenly became busy at the same time, and worked harder to clean the ground.

Li Qingxiang's heart is like a heavy stone, his own words may be able to boost the ambition of those people for the time being, but what about the future? How much longer can they hold out? How long can I hold on to it? What's more, the mysterious figure that can't be seen is hiding somewhere, waiting for them to attack at any time if they are negligent.
