Chapter 138: News Returns
Yue Guo, Luyue City, Li Jianei.
Mother Li sat in the lobby of the Li family, sipping tea.
Because she had taken Zhuyan Dan, even after three years, Li's mother's appearance had not changed much.
Suddenly, Xiyun, who was nearly twenty years old, walked in quickly.
Although it is the best age, Xiyun doesn't care much about makeup, but looks a little dusty.
"Mother, something happened to Shantang!" Xiyun said.
"Huh?"
Mother Li suddenly put down the tea and frowned.
...
Moment.
"You mean, a dozen or so people who received my Li family's food suddenly fell ill? And the conditions are extremely similar? Mother Li looked at Xiyun and asked.
"Yes, these more than ten people have basically received my Li family's food recently!" Xiyun nodded quickly.
"Have you found out? What's going on? Mother Li asked again.
"We suspected that there might be something wrong with the food, but after a closer investigation, it turned out that these people were not receiving a batch of food at all, and that they were not in the same condition as the people who ate the same batch of food!" Xiyun was also puzzled.
It stands to reason that in this case, these people should not be able to complain about the Li family.
Since a year ago, when the chaos in the Yue Kingdom first appeared, the Li family stopped scattering silver and turned to grain instead.
There are too many people who have received the Li family's food, is it possible that whoever gets sick will blame the Li family?
However, these people are too similar, they all suddenly have a big body, and then suffer from wind and cold and other diseases, and they all have recently received food from the Li family......
"For no reason, my Li family won't carry this pot!" Mother Li said very decisively: "Keep checking, you must find clues!" β
"Hmm!"
Xiyun nodded.
β......β
Mother Li didn't say anything more.
Li Jiashantang is the only support that the Li family can give to Li Yao who is outside, and Li's mother will never allow problems to arise here, so even if this matter is not too big at this time, she must strictly investigate it to the end.
Yes, that's not a big deal.
After all, now a small part of the country has been completely chaotic, and some places are even starving!
Even if Luyue City is still relatively peaceful, there are a lot of people who can't eat, not to mention that these more than ten people are just sick, even if they die, there will still be people who come to receive the Li family's food.
However, Mother Li attaches great importance to Shantang, so even if it is a trivial matter at this time, she will not let it go easily.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Xiyun hurriedly found Mother Li, and there was still a hint of confusion on her face.
"What's wrong? So flustered? A bad feeling flashed in Mother Li's heart, Xiyun has been able to take charge of herself after all these years of experience, she is suddenly like this, naturally she can't allow Mother Li to think about it too much.
"Mother, look at this!" Xiyun handed a piece of paper to Mother Li.
Mother Li took a look and found that there was a string of names on it.
"These are the sick ones!" Mother Li asked.
"In the order in which they fell ill, they're all here!" Xiyun's voice was a little hurried: "The second word of each of their names, mother, you read it down......"
"Huh?"
Mother Li was slightly stunned, and she read the second word of these names from beginning to end according to what Xiyun said.
[Mu Qin Xi Yunyi returned to Wu Wu at night to protect the righteousness of 100 million]
There were fourteen people in total, and the second word in each person's name was connected, and on the face of it it was a mess, but if its pronunciation was converted into homophones, and then separated from it, it would becomeβ
"Mother, Xiyun, come back late unexpectedly, don't worry, take care!"
...
Mother Li suddenly figured out all this in her heart, if it was someone else, it might be inexplicable, but she and Xiyun knew it very well.
When Li Yao left, he said that he would return within three years, but now that the three years are getting closer and closer, the two of them often count the days and wait, when they see this at this time, how can they not think of Li Yao?
Moreover, Mother Li also knew better than Xiyun that the Li Family Shan Hall was opened for Li Yao, and it was definitely not an accident that these fourteen people suddenly fell ill at this time.
It was Li Yao who was delivering the news to the two of them.
Mother Li exhaled deeply and calmed herself down.
"There is no need to doubt it, this is what Yao'er passed back!" Mother Li said directly: "He should come back later!" β
"Young Master, how could he deliver the message in this way?" Xiyun's heart was full of worry.
Mother Li looked at Xiyun's expression, she sighed, and said, "He will come back when it's time to come back, don't think about it!" β
"Hmm!"
Xiyun suppressed the worry in his heart.
"Who else gets this list?" Mother Li asked.
"I know now, but I don't know if anyone else notices me!" Xiyun understood what Mother Li meant, and she said it directly.
"Don't be careless!" Mother Li said: "These fourteen people will be low-key and give them some silver, which will be counted as compensation. However, if anyone is not satisfied with ......"
"I understand!"
Xiyun nodded, the greedy people who can receive food from Li Jiashantang account for the majority, and these fourteen people may not be able to do it with just silver.
But Xiyun still has experience in dealing with this kind of thing......
"Be sure to keep a low profile and don't attract more people's attention!" Mother Li reminded.
"Hmm!"
Xiyun nodded again.
The best way to do this is indeed to let it quietly burst out of people's sight, and the force must not be excessive, so that it will be backlashed, and it must not be indecisive, which will make the news brew.
Xiyun already had many ideas in his heart in an instant.

On the other side, Li Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
Relying on a large amount of life force and mana extracted from the "Demon Right", Li Yao's originally extremely serious injuries recovered in just two or three days.
To be honest, Li Yao's injury was indeed very serious, even if he relied on high-grade healing pills, he was afraid that it would take several months before he could fully recover, but Li Yao was ......
"Whew, it's finally recovered!" Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was also wondering if the news he had used the contract to pass back had been discovered by his mother or Xiyun.
...
Li Yao selected fourteen people among the many new leeks added recently, and then selected their three-percent physique in turn.
Usually, Li Yao only draws one percent of his physique, which has little effect on the leeks, but if he draws three percent at once, it will inevitably make his body weak and then sick.
Fourteen people all went to the contract, in other words, they took the benefits of the Li family, and the fourteen people suddenly got the same disease, and they all received the benefits of the Li family recently...... Such an anomaly naturally has the hope of being discovered by his mother or Xiyun.
"Hope everything goes well!"
Li Yao sighed secretly, he really had no choice but to pass the news in this way now.
As for the fourteen unlucky ghosts he chosen...... If his mother found out about the anomaly, she would have compensated her, right?
