Chapter 22: Li Changqing's Past
"Peng Shao, can you tell us more about your grandfather sixty years ago?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tao found that there was still too little information to get a useful conclusion, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at the other party eagerly, signaled the other party not to listen, and said, "It's best to be as detailed as possible..."
"Brother, what do you care about your grandfather?"
At the right time, Wu Fatzi saw the solemn look between his eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Could it be that his ancestors still have any relationship with your family?" ”
"It's also the first time I've heard of Li Changqing's name."
Zhang Tao shook his head, indicating that his ancestor had nothing to do with the other party, but he knew about it by chance, and he was very curious.
"About my grandfather, it has to start with my Li Mansion..."
Next, he learned from Li Feipeng's oral account that Li Changqing was originally a poor scholar from a poor family, and on the way to Beijing to catch the exam, he met a woman in the Qinglou, who was born beautiful and delicate, like a fairy descending to earth, and was the top brand of the Qinglou.
When they met for the first time, the two of them fell in love with each other, Oiran was amazed by his outstanding talent, and secretly promised him, and Li Changqing loved her beauty, fell in love with her at first sight, and didn't care about the identity of the other party's Qinglou woman, and promised to go to Beijing High School after coming back to give her a heavy ransom.
Maybe it was fate that made people, Li Changqing did not win the promotion for three consecutive years, and his name fell to Sun Shan again and again, which made him depressed, drank all day long, and had no shame to face the funding and expectations of the Oiran, but he couldn't suppress the thoughts and love for the Oiran in his heart.
After going to Beijing for the last time to take the exam, he secretly made up his mind that no matter what the result was, he would take Oiran out of the Qinglou.
In the end, Li Changqing got his wish, and the Oiran was willing to elope with him, and then they left the Qinglou overnight with gold, silver, and jewelry, and came to a small mountain forest where no one knew about it.
It backfired!
After Li Changqing settled the Oiran, he received the news that the old mother at home was seriously ill, and in order to treat the old mother, he secretly blocked the gold and silver carried by the Oiran and left the mountain forest room alone.
In the process of seeking medical treatment for his mother, he got acquainted with Su Qingyu, the daughter of the Xuanzhou medical family, and the daughter of the Su family couldn't help but want to get his body and be happy with him, after learning the purpose, Li Changqing decisively refused.
But he couldn't resist the coercion and temptation, and took Li's mother's injury as a threat, Li Changqing finally agreed to the conditions of Sufu's access, and when Su Qingyu saw this, he immediately took out a precious pill with a smile and cured his old mother's illness.
However, everything that happened, Oiran lived in a small room in the isolated mountains and forests, and knew nothing about it, and was kept in the dark.
After entering the Su Mansion, Li Changqing was not happy, often felt guilty and suffered, and occasionally when no one was paying attention, he secretly went to the mountains and forests alone to have a tryst with the Oiran to relieve the pain of lovesickness for the Oiran.
It's a pity that the paper can't hold the fire, and after a long time, Li Changqing's tryst with the Oiran was finally revealed, and Li Changqing was worried that the willful and domineering Su Qingyu would do something unfavorable to the Oiran after knowing all this, so he unilaterally cut off contact with the other party.
Poor Oiran waited innocently, day after day, looking forward to it, no matter how she couldn't wait for her beloved Li Lang to return.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly one day, Li Changqing heard the news that Oiran had committed suicide, and his heart was like ashes on the spot, and he had no thoughts.
He endured his grief, and after fulfilling his mother's filial piety, he ignored Su Qingyu's obstruction, insisted on running away from home, escaped into the empty door, and disappeared.
"It's really a bloody love story that is more Qiong Yao than Qiong Yao..."
After listening to Li Feipeng's description, Zhang Tao already had a picture of the love, hatred, and hatred of two women and a man in his mind, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, God, is it a sin to be handsome.
Among them, Oiran is the most pitiful and innocent, for her own love, she summons great courage, abandons worldly opinions and prejudices, insists on eloping with her sweetheart, and is finally ruthlessly abandoned and deceived.
And Su Qingyu's straightforward and pungent personality, daring to love and hate, makes people look sideways, Zhang Tao couldn't help but praise it when he heard it...
"No, since your grandfather is a wealthy man, why are you still surnamed Li?"
Just when Zhang Tao was pondering and analyzing the relationship between the Oiran and the woman in red, the fat man Wu on the side looked at Li Feipeng with a grin, as if he had found a terrible bug, and said, "Is there still a singing and crying story in this?" ”
Everyone has a natural desire to gossip, even the Sky Survey Guards of the Megatron Continent are no exception.
"My grandfather had two sons under his knees, my father was the second, under the influence of my grandfather, he resolutely broke away from the control of Su Mansion when he became an adult, came to Tianwu Town to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and restored the surname Li, after thirty years of hard work, he has the current scale of Li Mansion!"
When Li Feipeng heard this, he continued to explain in a hoarse voice: "My father named me Feipeng, which is the expectation that Feipeng will spread his wings and sway thousands of miles..."
By the end, he had been unable to cry, apparently bringing back bad memories.
"Is this the reason why Oiran is so angry, it's really a trick..."
Zhang Tao sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether the place where the Oiran committed suicide would be in the Wuling Mountain, a hundred miles away from Tianwu Town.
Will there be a plan or calculation from the Demon Gate Bloody Clothes Hall in this?
The little civet cat can turn into a ferocious tiger cat, so will the wedding dress Oiran also turn into a monstrous and resentful ghost because of love and hatred?
All of this seems to reveal a chilling conspiracy.
"Peng Shao, if I say that the cat demon entering the Li Mansion was not an accident, do you believe it?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tao couldn't think of a reason, so he couldn't help but throw his question to the other party and asked: "Maybe there is a pair of invisible hands in this that are manipulating everything, the purpose is to let the Li Mansion cut off his children and grandchildren, and he will never be able to live forever..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the picture of the Oiran wearing the phoenix crown of despair cursed again, including the other party's oath to curse Li Changqing viciously before he died.
How deep the love is, how heavy the hatred is!
The resentment is monstrous, covering the sky and the sun, so that the entire mountain forest is shrouded in a cold and gloomy cloud, like falling into a cold cellar, which makes people shudder.
That scene was extremely shocking, and he was very impressed, and it was difficult to forget for a while.
"Brother Ziqian, what did you say?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Feipeng was emotional, stood up from the solid wood stool with a bang, stared sharply at the front, like crazy, almost couldn't control his collapsed mentality, and was about to get sick, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know anything, my parents, my sister is not dead yet?" ”
With that, he stared at the other with hopeful eyes.
"The world is impermanent, Miss Yanran, they can't come back..."
Speaking of Li Yanran, who is a small jasper, Zhang Tao couldn't help but feel a burst of regret, and his heart twitched inexplicably, what a gentle woman she was, if nothing happened, he might be able to harvest a rare love.
"And what do you mean by that?"
After a moment of silence, Li Feipeng calmed down, without the appearance of being excited and crazy just now, his heart full of hope was dead again, and all that was left was the anger of revenge and the determination to kill demons.
"I mean, that cat demon, maybe coming to the Li Mansion was not an accident, but a premeditated calculation..."
Subsequently, he briefly described the conjecture in his heart and told Li Feipeng and Wu Fatzi, but he did not disclose the information about the Demon Gate Blood Clothes Hall and the Demon Illustrated Book.
"Brother, do you mean that the cat demon was led to the Li Mansion by someone?"
Hearing his words, Wu Fatzi immediately came to his senses, his brain was running quickly, and he thought a lot, including the information that the Sky Survey Division came to arrest and encircle and suppress the Demon Gate.
"Who? Who is it? ”
Li Feipeng gritted his teeth, his eyes were fierce with hatred, and he couldn't wait to find out who was behind the scenes immediately and avenge those clansmen who died tragically.
"I don't know who it is, I just have a vague feeling that there is something strange about this matter, and everything is too coincidental..."
Hearing this, Zhang Tao shook his head, and did not say everything he knew in his heart, some things should be said, some things could not be said, and his heart was very transparent.
The enemy is in the dark, he is in the light, everything has to be guarded against, or the most important thing is to be cautious!
He believed that with the ability of the Bloody Cloak Hall, the other party should soon be able to find the place where Du Hanhai buried the body, and then he would be exposed to the vision of the Bloody Cloak Hall's envoy.
With the cruel and bloodthirsty character of the people of the Demon Gate, his situation will become very dangerous.
Even if he stayed by the side of Zhao Baihu, he didn't have a sense of security.
"No matter who it is, I will definitely investigate clearly, and the blood debt will be paid in blood!"
Li Feipeng's tone was cold, a flush welled up on his pale cheeks, and his eyes glowed with a sickly glow.
After speaking, he grabbed a jar of wine in front of him, drank it with his head held high, wanting to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows, exuding a feminine and cold temperament between his hands and feet.
"Brother Ziqian, thank you for saving my life!"
Toasted a glass of wine to Zhang Tao, he took out a gold ingot from his sleeve robe and put it on the wine table, and thanked him sincerely: "Now I have nothing, and all that is left is Wanguan family wealth, which is the reward I promised you, and the more it is my heart...... I hope you don't refuse! ”
Picking up a bowl of wine again and drinking it down, he pushed the gold ingot on the table forward, then stood up and brushed his sleeves away, clean and neat, without any mud and water.
"Peng Shao, what are your plans for the future?"
Zhang Tao's expression was complicated, looking at the lonely back who walked to the door of the inn, he couldn't help but care about the other party's condition.
"The world is big, it may not be bad to be a demon hunter who gets rid of all the monsters in the world..."
Li Feipeng didn't look back, raised his hand and shook it back, signaling that the other party didn't have to worry, and quickly walked out of the Tongfu Inn and disappeared into the streets of Xiao Suo.
