Chapter VI: Planting
Li Ping's eyebrows were furious, the temperature of the space seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly, and there was a dead silence in the hall.
Everyone looked at Li Da, who was shocked by a palm and vomited blood, full of horror, Li Hao also looked at the pretty woman beside him with a look of surprise, in his memory, when Li Pingmei first left, she was only a one-star spiritual master cultivator, it seems that in the past four years, her cultivation has improved too much.
However, this woman is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, she looks soft, but she is so ruthless when she shoots.
"Ahem!" There was silence in the hall, which was finally broken by a dry cough, Li Xiu stood up and said dryly, "Cousin, it is true that the Da steward has violated the clan rules by taking action without authorization, but what he said is right, when it comes to stealing the elixir, this Li Hao is the most suspicious." ”
Although Li Xiu is said to be a man and has the most expensive status, in terms of status, Li Pingmei, the honorary elder, is second only to the head of the family, and even higher than him, not to mention that in this world, strength is always the first place, so he has no confidence in speaking.
"Cousin, our Li family has been undefeated for hundreds of years, relying on strict rules, clear rewards and punishments, and the theft of the elixir is a big matter, and it needs to be convicted with evidence, but if you don't arrest people according to the clan rules, it will affect the foundation of the entire family. ”
Li Pingmei's words were soft and firm, and he turned his head to look at an old man, "Elder Mo, you call a few people to go to the rooms of the steward, Li Hao, and Li Xiaopang, and the rest of the people are not allowed to leave during this period." ”
"Yes, Great Elder!" The old man looked at Li Pingmei, then at Li Xiu, and hurriedly took someone to do things, and Li Pingmei did not twist, walked to the main seat, and sat down in a big way, now she is dealing with business, she has the highest status here, of course she is qualified to sit in the main seat.
Seeing that Li Pingmei was so faceless, Li Xiu's face turned blue but he couldn't attack, sneered, and went straight to find a chair to sit down.
Li Hao walked to Lin's side with difficulty, gently wiped the blood from her forehead, and called out cordially, "Mother, are you okay?"
"Mother is fine, Hao'er, does the injury on your body still hurt?" Lin ignored the wound on his forehead completely, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth for his son, his face full of distress.
Li Hao shook his head with a smile, his mouth was full of blood, this smile was a little hideous in the eyes of others, but no one knew that Li Hao's heart was so warm, two lives, this was the first time he felt the taste of family affection, with such a mother, even if he suffered a lot, it was worth it.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that in this world, he was not without nothing.
In the front hall, Li Pingmei and Li Xiu both had cold faces and did not talk, but Li Hao's calm bearing made Li Pingmei a little strange, in her memory, this cousin who was not recognized seemed to have always been cowardly and timid, why hadn't he seen him for four years, and it seemed that he had changed a lot?
There was silence in the hall, and everyone didn't dare to come out, and after a while, Elder Mo, who had gone to search the room, finally returned.
Everyone's eyes looked at each other, and they saw that Elder Mo was holding a small jade bottle in his hand, and many people's faces changed.
Lin and Li Xiaopang seemed to have thought of something, and their faces turned a little pale, as for Li Xiu and Li Da, a sneer appeared on their faces, especially the latter's smile was a little more hideous, and he hated in his heart, "Little bastard, the evidence has been found, I think you are dead this time!"
Li Pingmei glanced at Li Hao, who was calm and calm, frowned, and then asked in a deep voice, "Elder Mo, what have you discovered?"
Li Xiu sat up straight, the smug smile on Li Da's face continued to spread, and he even couldn't help but let out a sneer, but Elder Mo's next words made his sneer freeze for a moment.
"Great Elder Hui, at the bedside of Li Dada's steward, he found this empty jade bottle, and it was determined that it was the jade bottle that the family contained the Gathering Spirit Pill. ”
There was an uproar.
The sudden turn of things surprised everyone, and the smugness on Li Da's face was replaced by fear in an instant.
"Li Da, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say!" Li Pingmei stood up, slapped his jade hand on the chair hand, and shouted coldly.
"Impossible, impossible, Great Elder, it's obvious that this little bastard stole the empty jade bottle, he stole it, he must have picked the lock and put the empty jade bottle at the head of my bed!" Li Da slammed down and defended in a loud voice.
"Miss, I have carefully checked and there is no damage to the doors and windows of the housekeeper's house. Mo Lao's words made Li Da's face even paler!
"Little bastard, you framed me, I'll fight with you!" Li Dahuo burst out, his face was full of hatred, and he pounced directly on Li Hao like a vicious dog.
"Presumptuous!" This time, Li Pingmei had already prepared, and with a wave of his palm, the cold palm wind hit Li Da's back in the air, and the latter was immediately slapped to the ground, spitting blood in his mouth, and several law enforcement elders hurriedly went over and held him down.
"Second son, you know, the little one is wronged, the little one didn't steal the elixir!" Li Da's face was like earth, and he ran to Li Xiu, hugged his legs, and pleaded.
"Dog minion, you actually dare to bewitch my son!" Li Xiu kicked Li Da away, his face was very ugly.
"Elder Mo, according to the clan rules, what crime should I be guilty of stealing the clan elixir and framing others?" Li Pingmei frowned and asked.
"Hui Great Elder, according to the clan rules, should be deprived of his position, abolished his cultivation, and imprisoned in the clan. Mo Lao's answer was unusually crisp.
"Okay, come on, escort him down!" Li Pingmei shouted, and the elders didn't dare to slack off, dragging Li Da down like a dead dog.
"Little bastard, you wronged me, even if I, Li Da, die, I will pull you as a back!" Li Da, who was dragged down, had a hideous face, and his resentful voice came from afar, echoing endlessly.
Li Xiu watched with a gloomy face as Li Da was dragged out, and finally stood up after a while, "I didn't expect this slave to dare to do such a thing...... Cousin, cousin, I still have something to do, so I'll be there soon. After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the law enforcement hall.
"Cousin walks slowly. Li Pingmei bowed, raised his eyes to look around, and instructed lightly, "The dust has settled on this matter, everyone is scattered." ”
"Yes, yes!" Many of the stewards and servants did not dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Li Pingmei got up, looked at Li Hao, and suddenly sighed softly: "I wronged you in this matter today, but you also know my cousin's temperament...... It's rare for me to go home once, and I can't make decisions for you every time, so be careful in the future, don't hurt yourself, and also hurt the eldest mother......"
"Thank you, Miss. Li Hao arched his hand, but his tone was not flat. Today's feud is settled, Li Da has evil retribution, and this Li Xiu obviously wants to kill him when he has the opportunity. The difficulties suffered by his mother and son for more than ten years will one day, Li Hao will have to pay back a hundredfold.
Li Ping's eyebrows turned around on him, where could he not see his thoughts, and said helplessly: "Don't be too stubborn, don't show it even if you have grievances, this world is respected by strength after all, even if your status is low, as long as you cultivate well, after a while, it will be the ancestral classic of the clan once every five years, and if you can stand out at that time, the second uncle will also pay more attention to it." ”
The ancestral ceremony of the clan is a grand event held every five years by the Li family. Five years ago, Li Pingmei caused the ancestral monument to shake on the ancestral canon, measured the Extreme Spirit Heart Palace, and won the championship of the martial arts club, before being made an exception and named the honorary elder of the clan.
Therefore, for an underappreciated disciple like Li Hao, the ancestral canon is definitely the best opportunity to get ahead.
"Miss's words, I, Li Hao, keep it in mind. Li Hao lowered his head, took a deep breath, and when he looked up again after a while, the resentment on his face had completely dissipated, and asked, "This time the eldest lady came back, it was also for the ancestral rites of the clan, right?"
Li Pingmei's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and she seemed to be a little surprised that Li Hao calmed down so quickly, but when she heard him ask, a touch of gloom flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she said softly: "This time I came back, one is for the ancestral ceremony, and the other is another big thing." ”
The gloom that flashed in her eyes did not escape Li Hao's eyes, but he naturally didn't ask anything big, just smiled slightly.
Li Pingmei was also an unusual woman, and quickly suppressed the emotions in her heart, and took out a jade bottle from her arms: "There are some gold sore medicines here, you can take them and apply them." ”
"Thank you for the medicine, in the future, I, Li Hao, will definitely return a hundredfold and a thousandfold. Li Hao took the jade bottle and said solemnly.
Li Pingmei shook her head with a smile: "I don't ask you for anything in return, as long as you live well in the future, I will be relieved when you are filial to Aunt Lin...... Okay, you help Aunt Lin go home, I just came back, and I have to see my father. ”
"Lady walk slowly. ”
Looking at this beautiful shadow in the distance, Li Hao clenched his fist slightly, if there is revenge, he will repay the grace of dripping water, Li Pingmei, although you don't need my help now, but this kindness, I Li Hao wrote it down!
