Chapter 123: Closing the Net
Chapter 123 Closing the Net
The sky was gray and gloomy, dark clouds shrouded the sky above the imperial capital, and the north wind was blowing, making the branches of the trees tremble and make a rattling sound. The pond has long been filled with roaring ice, and a few gray mallards are waddling on the ice floes, occasionally making a quack.
In the morning, the old man did not have any support and service, washed himself, and on the boat, he was dressed in a dark mink fur, wearing a blue-gray mink hat, and was sitting on the Taishi chair in the main hall of Nongxiangju.
Gu Miao got up, washed up, and wanted to wait for the old man to get up, but when she entered the door, she saw such a scene, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Grandpa, why are you up?" Why are you dressed like this? ”
"Yuan girl, grandpa didn't get sick at all before, he pretended to be." The old man's face was full of sternness.
"Huh?" Gu Miao was full of suspicions. "Grandpa, you, are you really not sick?"
"I'm not sick, I don't pretend to be sick, how can those ghosts and ghosts show their original form? Yuan girl, grandpa Tai is going to collect the net now, you see, how grandpa Tai eradicated the tumor for the Liu family. The old man's withered hand pinched Gu Miao's little face. Source girl, are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid, grandpa is fine, I'm naturally not afraid of anything." Nothing makes her happier than Grandpa's health and longevity. Gu Miao's face finally filled with a heartfelt smile, and she helped the old man to stand up.
The old and the young took firm steps towards Zhuang Hetang, even if it was a cold north wind, it seemed to have lost its strength at this moment, Gu Miao felt that she was full of energy, and the cold became worthless in front of her.
Although it was close to 9 a.m., the weather was still gray, and the village hall was full of rows of lanterns.
The Liu family was told that they were all in bed together. The old man has already asked them to take leave, and today the gate of Liu's house is locked, and no one can go out. Liu Changlin and his wife, Liu Anyou and his wife, and Zhou Mingfen all gathered in the hall, and the younger generations all stayed in their respective courtyards.
"Dad! Your body ......" Liu Changlin's father, who was already sitting upright, was also taken aback.
"I wasn't sick in the first place. These days I just want to pretend to be sick and see the attitude of you people. The old man picked up the teacup, skimmed off the tea, and took a sip slightly.
"Dad! You ......" Liu Changlin was angry and funny. For a while, I couldn't cry or laugh.
The two-bedroom family is like ashes, what is the old man doing here? No one is the quickest to figure it out.
"Dad is fine, great, the boss and Ruihong are saved." Wang Yulan, clasped her hands together, muttered Amitabha Buddha in her mouth.
"Dad. Is there anything you're bringing everyone here today? ”
"You don't have to worry about the boss's business, I've already asked about it. It's not a big deal at all, those people are just false accusations, the so-called evidence is not sufficient at all, and the boss and Ruihong will be able to come back at night. The old man's very calm words surprised everyone.
Zhou Mingfen, who had already described the withering, came back to life. He knelt in front of the old man with a pop: "Grandpa, grandpa, you...... Is what you're saying true? ”
"Mingfen. You are a blessed one, although Ruihong does not have much ability, he is a cautious and sensible person. Ruize is a smart and sensible good boy, as long as you manage the boss well and don't make mistakes in the future, you will be a great hero of the Liu family. The old man stretched out his hand to help Zhou Mingfen.
Zhou Mingfen has already cried with joy, she has been living like purgatory these days, her eldest son and husband have been arrested, she doesn't dare to say anything at home, and her second son is under house arrest. She almost thought that the rest of her life would be ruined like this, but she didn't expect the old man's words to bring her back from hell.
"Grandpa, thank you, grandpa, thank you."
The old man let go of Zhou Mingfen and walked in front of Liu Changlin: "Changlin, I don't blame you, I said that all your mistakes now are because of my negligence, my fault." ”
"Dad...... The son is not filial, and the son is not filial. Liu Changlin also knelt in front of the old man.
"Changlin, you get up, I only want to ask you one word, are you willing to listen to all the things I am going to say next today?"
"Yes, Dad, whatever you say, my son will listen." Liu Changlin said without hesitation.
Liu Anyou's face became even more ugly.
The old man nodded: "I'm going to remove the cancer of the Liu family today, Changlin, everything Dad did today is for you, for the sake of the Liu family, don't complain about Dad." ”
"Dad...... The son understands that everything you do is for the good of your son. Liu Changlin was not displeased at all, but his expression was a little relaxed.
Gu Miao now understands his grandfather a little bit, he has such a superman-like father, everything is considered for him, he has been well protected all his life, right? With the protection of the old man, my grandfather's life has been smooth sailing, and the old man has his ideas about family affairs, and he also enjoys this kind of protection. So my grandfather was afraid of facing troubles and solving problems, and he may still be a child who has not grown up.
The old man walked back to his seat, "Second brother, you don't need me to talk about what you've been doing these days, right?" ”
"Grandpa...... Grandfather...... I...... I'm also for the good of the Liu family, in your situation...... Big brother is like that...... I can't help it. Liu Anyou's face was pale, and he knelt down in front of the old man and kowtowed.
From the moment he walked into Zhuang Hetang today, he saw the old man sitting with a red face, and he knew that he was finished. The old man really still prefers the big house in his heart, and he does not hesitate to play such a play for the sake of the big house. He was so unwilling, he hated, but he couldn't do anything.
"For the sake of the Liu family, not only did you not help your brother get rid of the crime, but found someone to continue to frame your brother, and even your nephew who was harmed was also implicated? If Ruize hadn't worked yet, he would have been dragged down by you! You really have a good plan, framed the boss and Rui Hong, put Rui Ze under house arrest, and then deceived your father, and the Liu family is all in your hands. ”
After listening to the old man's words, everyone was taken aback, and no one thought that such a small thing had developed to the point where it was today, and it was not because of outsiders' downfall. It's his own family who is in the way.
"Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!" Zhou Mingfen stood up even more angrily, pointed at Liu Anyou and scolded: "Your brother has never treated you badly, and your nephew respects you even more, you!" You! You! To do such a vicious thing! Are you still human? You animal, you animal! ”
"Grandpa, I've been wronged! Grandpa, how dare I do this. I don't have that much ability. Frame the big brother! Grandpa, I'm wronged! Liu An shouted that he was wronged and kept kowtowing.
Liu Anyou suddenly thought of something. turned to Liu Changlin again: "Dad, Dad, you told Grandpa that I was really wronged." I don't have the ability to save my brother, but I never thought about harming my brother! ”
Liu Changlin has always had some preference for the second family. Adding this matter, he always felt that he was also a little guilty, and when he saw his son crying like this, his heart softened even more: "Dad......" pleading for mercy had not yet been spoken, and he had already been frightened back by the old man's torch-like gaze.
"Dick. I also don't want to believe that you are such a person, after so many years, how many opportunities have I given you? And you? The person who put Ruize in cold storage back then. Do you think I don't know who it is? Do you think you've really done it seamlessly, without the slightest evidence? It's me. I helped you wipe your buttocks clean, so that this family can be peaceful and your wife can live peacefully. Dick, you've let me down so much. ”
The old man covered his eyes, he was also very painful to make such a choice, the palm of his hand was flesh and the back of his hand was also meat, he liked Rui Ze Yes, but he also hoped that his descendants would be able to live in peace and health. He thought that they were just confused for a moment and wanted to give them another chance, but the repeated tolerance made them even more lawless. It was his indulgence that caused the situation of the Liu family today.
Liu Anyou was almost stupid, he didn't expect that the old man would be clear about the things back then, and he didn't expect that the old man would cover him up in the things back then. After a moment of distraction, Liu Anyou quickly made a judgment, the things of the year can't be denied, and it can only be like that, but he absolutely can't admit today's things, and the old man can't have evidence, he definitely can't admit it.
"Grandpa, back then, it was the grandson who was confused for a while, and the ghost was confused, but the eldest brother's business, the grandson really didn't have it!"
"Are you really not going to the Yellow River and not giving up?" The old man became more and more disappointed: "Do you think that Wei San can help you betray the boss, and he won't betray you for something else?" Why are the descendants of the Liu family so unsuccessful! Wei San's few words of provocation will let you help outsiders frame your brother! How many pounds and taels do you think you have? In front of Wei San, you, your brother and your father together are not his opponents! You're stupid enough to make a tiger's skin! ”
"Grandpa!" Liu An was completely dumbfounded at this moment, the old man actually knew everything, every detail! The old man didn't go out of the door, and he couldn't escape his eyes for anything. Liu Anyou suddenly felt a deep fear, he had nowhere to hide in front of the old man, just like a stripped clown, the old man could see him clearly! There is also Wei San, Wei San actually betrayed him, he swore that he would help him to seize the position of the head of the family, and he actually betrayed him!
"Second child, when I was a child, I liked you the most, you are smarter than the boss, and you are more sensible than the boss. Even if you started with Rui Ze later, I couldn't bear to attack you, I want to give you a chance, I thought you would understand Grandpa's intentions, and you would repent, but I didn't expect that not only did not repent, but fell deeper and deeper, today I am really disappointed in you. ”
"Grandpa, I know it's wrong, grandpa, you can spare me! Grandfather! Liu Anyou slammed his head on the hard green bricks, and the red blood quickly spread, which was shocking.
"Let's go! You and your daughter-in-law go together! Go abroad and never come back. You no longer have anything to do with the Liu family. Three children...... If you want to take them away, you can take them away, but in that case, the Liu family will no longer recognize them. If you don't take it away, your parents will help you raise the children. The old man resolutely stated his decision.
Suddenly there was silence in the hall, and a pin drop could be heard. Gu Miao, who was standing on the side, was also very surprised, although she had been serving the old man for so many days, but the old man had even hidden her physical condition, let alone such an important decision, he had not mentioned it to her at all. The old man's shot is really extraordinary, for such an old man, who doesn't want his children and grandchildren to prosper and reunite, but the old man has to make up his mind to exile a grandson, or a grandson he has liked very much since he was a child.
Gu Miao suddenly thought of her mother, and when she sent her back to Yicheng that day, she knew that the old man had already regretted the things of that year, maybe it was because of the events of that year that the old man did not complain about making such a decision again, and gave Liu An a family a chance again and again. As long as he has even a trace of repentance, maybe the old man will breathe a sigh of relief and not have to make such a decision again. But......
"Grandpa, you can't do this! Grandfather! An You is also your grandson! Sun Fei'er, who was too frightened to speak, couldn't even care about being scared at this time, and knelt beside her husband crying.
"Dad...... The second child is really wrong...... But ......" Liu Changlin was also very reluctant to let his son be exiled.
"Dad...... Spare Ann! Wang Yulan's eyes were also full of tears, crying and begging the old man.
"Changlin, you said that you were willing to listen to my arrangement, don't get involved in this matter of Yulan, there is no room for maneuver, second child, you can decide for yourself!" The old man turned his head away from looking at his children and grandchildren who were kneeling on the ground.
Liu Anyou had blood stains on his forehead, and at this time, he also knew that he was already powerless, so he clenched his fists: "The children please ask their parents, the three children are still young, and please ask their parents to take care of them, the son is not filial, and there is no way to be filial in front of him in the future." As he spoke, he kowtowed three more times.
kowtowed to the old man three more times: "Grandpa, the grandson has lived up to your expectations if he is not filial, and he will not be able to do his filial piety in front of you in the future, the three children are innocent, and please don't anger the three children because of the fault of the grandson." ”
"I have arranged the life of you and Fei'er after going abroad, although it may not be rich and expensive, at least it is worry-free about food and clothing, but it has been arranged, you will never return to China, and it is impossible to leave that country. As for the children, what was given to you before will be theirs in the future. ”
An imperceptible trace of water flashed in the old man's eyes, and he quickly regained his perseverance and clarity: "You don't have to go back to the yard, wait for someone to take you away, I will tell the children that you went on a business trip, and then you had an accident and will never come back." ”
"Grandpa, grandson is gone." Liu Anyou kowtowed heavily.
Sun Fei'er was scared silly and cried incessantly, but she was finally taken out by the guards. (To be continued.) )
