Chapter 36: The Might of the Patriarch

Li Chengyuan came to the Ninth Master's house alone. When he entered the house, even when he saw that the old man was really wearing that not very good-looking shroud, and was lying alone on the bed, he still didn't want to believe that the old man who liked to talk the most fell asleep and couldn't say a word anymore.

Li Chengyuan held back his tears, walked to the side of the bed, gently pushed the old man, like a helpless child, and shouted softly: "Ninth master, it's not early, don't sleep." ”

But the old man, who always liked to chatter, did not respond at all.

Li Chengyuan sat on the side of Jiu Ye's bed, gently patted Jiu Ye's tattered bedding, and said a lot in a soft voice.

"Ninth Master, aren't you the most disgusting lazy? You often say, this person, you can't be lazy, if you are lazy, you deserve to starve to death, so you are often the first to get up in our village, why do you sleep lazy today? Ninth master, get up, let's go out and take two steps? ”

"You, you like to be strong, how old are you, why don't you accept old age? Your children and grandchildren asked you to follow, but you didn't go, because the tree was old, and the roots broke as soon as it moved, and you didn't want to go out, and almost killed your son. That's it, it's okay if you don't go out, anyway, there's still me in the town, but you talk about you, don't let me take care of you, don't let me come to the door for the New Year's holiday, look, now I'm being bullied, I deserve it, see if your old man dares to be tough. ”

Li Chengyuan tilted his head and wanted to hold back his tears, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

"I know you don't want to involve us, but how do you know that it is? Yingzi is about to cry to death early this morning, do you know? Tell me about you, what's the matter you can't tell the two of us? Do you have to let us both die of sadness? What are you trying to do, old man? Yes? ”

After saying this, Li Chengyuan withdrew the hand that slapped the ninth master, put his two hands on his face, and sat on the edge of the ninth master's bed with his face covered, speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Li Chengyuan suddenly spoke again.

"Ninth master, don't complain about you, I know you're tired, just sleep if you want to, busy all your life, it's time to rest and rest, just say those words, you will be a baby and don't understand, don't worry, go in peace, I promise to arrange it properly for you, if there is anything dissatisfied, don't be polite, you should be informed, don't be afraid of scaring people...

When Li Chengyuan said this, he couldn't cry anymore, and when he saw the dry tobacco that the ninth master often smoked beside him, he picked it up, lit it several times, and brought it to the ninth master's mouth.

Seeing the white smoke coming from the smoke pot, but its owner couldn't smoke it anymore, Li Chengyuan couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly.

"Ninth master, my ninth master, why don't you say anything, just leave...

"Tell me about you, you have made me feel wronged in the future, who will I find to pour bitter water."

。。。。。。

For thousands of years in the world, how many people have broken their livers and intestines, and they are parting from life and death in this one.

————

By the time the people from the town came to help Jiu Ye sort out the aftermath, it was not too early. When they entered the courtyard, they saw a coffin in the courtyard at a glance, and the patriarch Li Chengyuan was dressed in white, dressed in linen and wearing filial piety to be the filial son, and was standing at the door to welcome guests.

Some of the older people in the town didn't think it was any surprise, but some of the younger people were a little dumbfounded.

Li Chengyuan is actually very famous in the town, and the younger generation is more or less afraid of him, and now seeing him as a filial son here, they all feel a little strange and curious.

Everyone in the town knew that the Ninth Master was special, but no one could say why, but now, they seemed to understand a little.

The patriarch himself keeps a vigil? This news spread ten, ten, hundreds, but it was terrible, and in the end, almost everyone in the town came to see off the ninth master. When Li Aniu and Liu Mazi arrived at Jiuye's house, they were almost taken aback, and thousands of people in the town gathered around a small Gongsun Lane, obediently, scared to death.

Looking at such a big battle in front of him, Li Aniu was a little stunned, pointed to the crowd, and motioned to Liu Mazi with his eyes, let's continue?

Liu Mazi, who is usually timid, was very bold at this time, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Ah Niu, you don't understand this, right?" The more people there are, the safer we are, and the more likely we are to succeed in the end. Learn a little. ”

After speaking, Liu Mazi ruffled his hair, first coughed, cleared his throat, and then tore his throat and shouted: "Ninth master, my own grandfather." shouted like that, and the tears instantly broke the embankment with the river, and they couldn't stop it, so they stumbled into the ninth master's house, and Li Aniu was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it, it was too embarrassing.

Shame is shame, Li Aniu still followed Liu Mazi in, and made up his mind that he would never tell others that he and Liu Mazi came together.

Seeing Liu Mazi crying sadly, the people in the town consciously made way for him, so although there were many people, Liu Mazi still rushed directly to the front of the mourning hall.

Liu Mazi rushed into the Ninth Master's house, and he didn't care about the surrounding situation, he hugged the Ninth Master's coffin and cried, choking and saying something while crying.

"Ninth master, my own grandfather, why don't you know how to avoid it, the mourning star that everyone in the town is hiding, do you dare to provoke? Now it's just a few words, and you're just being killed like this, aren't you panicking? ”

When Liu Mazi was crying, there were a lot of people around, and as soon as he said this, the surroundings quieted down in an instant. Liu Mazi was proud in his heart, still choked and shouted, and there was an extra talisman in his hand.

"I knew that it was not easy for you to have an accident, today I met a Taoist master, and I spent a lot of money to calculate a hexagram, only then did I know that Lu Yangsheng deserved to be a mourning star, who caused who was unlucky, he not only killed his father, but also killed your old man, you see, this is the Daoist's criticism."

Liu Mazi also planned to continue, but he was unprepared for being taken away from the things in his hand, and the whole person was kicked and beaten several times. Liu Mazi stood up and scolded, but as soon as the words "enter your mother" were spoken, the whole person's hands and feet were cold in an instant, and the whole person knelt down.

It turned out that it was the patriarch Li Chengyuan who just kicked him.

Liu Mazi knew that the patriarch would arrange the funeral of the ninth master, but he didn't expect the patriarch to come in person, it seems that he is still wearing a filial piety suit, what is the situation? Liu Mazi didn't dare to think about it, he just felt that the sky had fallen.

Li Chengyuan cried twice in the morning, he was already a little tired, and the elderly people couldn't stand the joy and sorrow the most, so he greeted the guests at the door for a while, and was helped to sit in front of the Nine Masters, but it didn't take long for him to see Liu Mazi running in heartbroken.

Originally, Li Chengyuan thought that Liu Mazi was really sad, and his opinion of Liu Mazi changed a lot in his heart, but later Liu Mazi's words completely angered him.

are all thousand-year-old foxes, Li Chengyuan is still a person who has been the patriarch for half his life, which can be compared to a gangster like Liu Mazi? After thinking about it for a while, you will know what kind of play Liu Mazi is singing. Just because I figured it out, I was even more angry, as soon as I came out last night, I put up with it, and now that the ninth master has not entered the ground, this kid dares to come out like this again? Do you dare to splash all the dirty water on Lu Yangsheng's little baby? So Li Chengyuan was angry for a while, and he started directly.

Throwing the yellow paper in his hand into the brazier, Li Chengyuan turned his head to look at Liu Mazi who was kneeling on the ground, and said word by word: "Liu Mazi, do you really want to die?" Well? Although I am the patriarch of the Li family, the rules of our town are universal, and if you want to punish you, no one in your Liu family can stop you. ”

The patriarch of the Liu family was also present, he was one of the elders in the town, and he was really angry when he saw Li Chengyuan, so he hurriedly expressed his position.

"Patriarch Li is polite, you are not only the patriarch of the Li family, all the surnames in our town can recognize you as the patriarch. As long as this kid really made a mistake and you took the evidence, then you are free at will, and our Liu family will never say a word. ”

Although Patriarch Liu's words were hidden, in general, they still gave Li Chengyuan enough face, so Li Chengyuan hugged his fists at Patriarch Liu, which was regarded as making amends, after all, this sentence just now was somewhat a slap in the face.

Patriarch Liu hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back.

Li Chengyuan turned his head and continued to say to Liu Mazi.

"In the past two days, the ninth master has been doing things, I don't want to deal with you, you'd better get out of the way for me, if you dare to be nonsense again, your tongue will be gone, and it will hurt people to keep it anyway."

After Li Chengyuan said this, Liu Mazi was so frightened that he became incontinent directly, and the feces and urine flowed together, and Li Chengyuan, who saw it, was disgusted, pointed to the door, and said in a low voice, "Get out".

Hearing the patriarch say this, Liu Mazi hurriedly kowtowed, wanted to stand up, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, so he began to climb outside with both hands and feet, and just after a few steps, he heard Li Chengyuan say again.

"I also know what you have in mind with Li Aniu, today I will tell you clearly, the ninth master is my elder, don't worry about any of his things, my old Li family will be placed in the ancestral hall, waiting for the descendants of the Gongsun family to come and take it, if you don't have long eyes, you can come and take it for a try."

Li Chengyuan's words were not only for Li Aniu and Liu Mazi, but also for everyone in the town.

After saying this, Li Chengyuan said again: "Don't think that there is no evidence, I, who is the patriarch, will take you without it, don't forget, the clan rules say that the patriarch can have the right to decide, it really forced me not to go according to the rules, none of us look good, the pig cage in the ancestral hall has not been invited out since my father, don't force me to make an exception." ”

After Li Chengyuan finished speaking, he pointed at Liu Mazi and said, "Throw him out for me, and then clean up the mourning hall for me." ”

There was a sturdy man who came back to his senses, and hurriedly came over to help, but he was not too dirty, so he threw Liu Mazi out.

When the venue was cleaned up, Li Chengyuan said "continue", and the entire mourning hall returned to normal, but the atmosphere was somewhat depressed.

Li Chengyuan glanced at the people around him and sighed, he can suppress it on the side of the ninth master, but Liu Mazi's words are not in vain, looking at the face of the big guy, you can know that Lu Yangsheng's life will be even more difficult in the future. Li Chengyuan can't help in this regard, what he said today is already a little out of line, if he says a few more words about Lu Yangsheng's matter, even if he is the patriarch, some people will probably jump out and go against him.

After Liu Mazi was thrown out, it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he finally stood up against the wall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Aniu, who was also trembling.

In the scene just now, Li Aniu watched the whole process, but he didn't dare to come out.

If you want to say that you are afraid, he Li Aniu is the one who is most afraid. On the one hand, it is because the ninth master was killed by his Li Aniu himself, and according to the clan rules, he must be immersed in the pig cage. On the other hand, the patriarch punishes him Liu Mazi, and he still needs to discuss with the Liu family, but don't forget, his Li Aniu's surname is Li, and the patriarch wants to punish him, so he doesn't need to discuss with others.

Just inside, when he Li Aniu saw the patriarch, he was already frightened to the point that the six gods had no master, and then when he heard the words that the patriarch said by name, Li Aniu was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs trembled on the spot. finally came out with the help of the wall, only to find that he was not much better than Liu Mazi.

Now that they met, the two people who were completely frightened looked at each other and were completely dumbfounded.

Just like Li Chengyuan said, even if there is no evidence, as long as he is the patriarch, as long as he has suspicions, with the prestige accumulated by his family for hundreds of years, he really wants to kill them, and they will definitely have no way to live.

Do you really think that the patriarch of a clan can't kill two thugs?
