By the time the news reached Li Chengyuan's house, the old couple had already rested, so the people outside knocked on the door for a long time, only to see the patriarch Li Chengyuan wearing an old robe and hurriedly opening the door.

"The knock on the door in the middle of the night is so urgent, is there something serious?"

After Li Chengyuan opened the door, he took a look at the faces and clothes of the visitor by the moonlight. It was a living person's face, but he recognized this dress and knew that it was the clothes that only Yuanrentang's men would wear.

Something to do with the pharmacy? Li Chengyuan frowned, feeling that things might be a little tricky.

"Patriarch, go and take a look, something is wrong, our town is dead."

The person who came didn't sell Guanzi, he came up and said a piece of news that made Li Chengyuan's heart skip a beat.

"Dead? Where is it? Who died? How did he die? Who are you? You give me 1510 to make it clear. ”

Li Chengyuan didn't panic after hearing the dead man, but his face suddenly became gloomy, and a momentum of not being angry and arrogant arose, so that the pharmacy guy who came to report the news couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"If the patriarch Hui speaks, the younger one is a guy from Yuanrentang, named Song Yanping. The deceased person should be named Liu Mazi, a newly recruited guy from our pharmacy. Tonight, our shopkeeper invited the newly recruited guys to dinner, but not long after they came out of the pharmacy, we heard someone shouting 'murder', and when we came out, we saw that a person had been killed in front of our pharmacy. ”

The guy spoke quickly, but his words were very clear, and the content was concise and to the point, and he explained the matter in a few words.

After listening patiently to what happened, Li Chengyuan frowned and asked unhappily, "Liu Mazi?" Should? ”

Song Yanping hurriedly explained: "Patriarch, don't you know, that person died extremely miserably, his head was chopped up, and he couldn't tell who it was, and we only knew that person was Liu Mazi by listening to a few guys with Liu Mazi, but as for whether it was true, the little one was not sure." ”

After listening to Song Yanping's explanation, Li Chengyuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the murderer?" Have you caught the murderer? ”

Hearing Li Chengyuan ask the murderer, Song Yanping swallowed his saliva and shook his head.

"When we came out, the murderer had already run away, and the guys who were with Liu Mazi were already frightened, plus it was dark, so ......"

Hearing Song Yanping say this, Li Chengyuan took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I probably understand the matter, you go back first, and I'll be there right away." ”

After listening to Li Chengyuan's words, the guy did not leave immediately, but looked embarrassed.

"Patriarch, our shopkeeper has asked me to invite you over to administer justice, you see ......"

Li Chengyuan glanced at Song Yanping, his joy and anger were invisible, and he said in an indifferent tone: "Then you just wait here for a while, and I will come out immediately." ”

After Li Chengyuan finished speaking, he didn't close the courtyard door, and went back to the house.

When Li Chengyuan returned to the house, Feng Ying was already dressed. She looked at her old man's ugly face at this time, and there was still some anger in his expression, she knew that something big had happened in the town, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "Old man, what happened?" ”

Li Chengyuan scolded in a low voice: "Bastard, that little gangster Liu Mazi was killed, no, the pharmacy invited me to administer justice." ”

"Liu Mazi?"

Feng Ying's face was ugly when she heard this name, and she couldn't help but repeat it.

"That's right, it's Liu Mazi who came to make trouble at the funeral of the ninth master, and now he has been hacked to death at the door of Yuanren Hall."

Li Chengyuan's face was gloomy and terrible when he said this, and Feng Ying, who was familiar with the temper of his old man, knew that his old man was really angry this time.

"Do you suspect that the Song family is doing it?"

Feng Ying only pondered Li Chengyuan's words a little, and guessed the meaning of his old man's words.

"Is it that the Song family doesn't know yet, I have to wait until I see it, if not, forget it, if it is, old man, I have to ask, kill people on the street, do you want to do it? There hasn't been such an incident in the town since my grandfather's generation, and now such an incident has happened, which is simply a slap in the face of our old Li family. They usually kill their children at will, it's a family matter, I can't care about it, but Liu Mazi is a child of a good family, I have to ask the old man, how dare they? ”

Li Chengyuan had already dressed while he was talking, and he said to Feng Ying: "Madam, you go and wake up Feng, let him go to the ancestral hall to ring the 'ancestral bell', and then let him talk to those people in our Li family, everyone surnamed Li and there are men in the family, let them come out for me, old man, I want to ask for 'clan weapons'." ”

Without waiting for Feng Ying to speak, Li Chengyuan left, he wanted to see what was going on.

Seeing his old man walk out of the house, Feng Ying's face sank like water, hurriedly put on his shoes, and went to find his son.

————

When Li Chengyuan walked to the pharmacy, there were already some people gathered at the door of the pharmacy, Song Yanping hurriedly rushed to the front, shouting, "The patriarch is here, let me go", and it didn't take much effort to bring Li Chengyuan into the crowd.

"The little Song Turtle, now the shopkeeper of the medicine shop, has seen the patriarch."

Song Gu heard that the man had invited the patriarch, so he hurriedly walked down the steps of the pharmacy and saluted Li Chengyuan with a fist.

Li Chengyuan glanced at Song Gu and said expressionlessly, "You are the shopkeeper of the pharmacy?" I heard you guys are dead here? What about corpses? ”

Song Gu didn't expect Li Chengyuan to come up and ask about the corpse, and his face suddenly turned embarrassed and looked a little hesitant.

Li Chengyuan looked at Song Turtle like this, and was immediately a little displeased.

"Why, don't you have any dead people here?"

Song Gu heard that Li Chengyuan was angry, so he hurriedly waved his hand and quickly explained.

"Dead, dead indeed. Just ......"

Li Chengyuan scolded in a deep voice: "Human life is a matter of heaven, what are you grinding here, you have something to say." ”

Song Gu was startled, he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and whispered: "Patriarch, don't look at it, that person died really ......"

When Song Gu said this, he seemed to remember something disgusting, his face suddenly turned terrifyingly pale, retched, and was forced to be pressed down by him.

"It's disgusting. ...... vomit"

Finally said the whole sentence, Song Gui couldn't hold back, and quickly ran to the side and retched.

Looking at Song Turtle like this, Li Chengyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten. To be able to disgust people like this, what kind of corpse must be ruined?

Li Chengyuan looked around, his heart was even heavier, and at this time he realized that the people around here were all pale and facing outward, which was not what people should look like when they looked lively. In addition, there seemed to be a foul smell in the air, which made Li Chengyuan's brows furrow even tighter.

It turned out that although Song Gui had already asked the guys in the pharmacy to clean up everyone's vomit while they were waiting for the others, there was still a strong smell at the scene. When Li Chengyuan didn't enter the crowd just now, he didn't feel anything, but now that he entered the crowd, the smell of vomit mixed with bloody gas rushed straight to Li Chengyuan's nose, making him can't help but feel sick to his stomach.

Li Chengyuan swallowed hard, forcibly suppressed the feeling of vomiting, and then he raised his leg to walk towards the middle of the crowd. Li Chengyuan was sure that the corpse was in the middle of the crowd, and he wanted to see what Liu Mazi's corpse had become.

"Patriarch, you listen to me, don't go in, it's too disgusting inside, boy, I'll tell you about it."

When Song Gu looked up, he happened to see the scene of Li Chengyuan entering the crowd, which frightened him.

You know, Song Gui's current appearance is not pretending, he really feels disgusting, and even he can't stand the scene, how can Li Chengyuan, an elderly person, bear it? In case something goes wrong with Li Chengyuan, what can he Song Gui pay for? Don't say it's him Song Turtle at that time, I'm afraid the entire Song family can't afford it, right?

So seeing that Li Chengyuan was about to enter the crowd, Song Gu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.

It's just that Song Gu didn't expect that after he opened his mouth to stop him, Li Chengyuan just glanced at him, didn't even bother to say a word to him, didn't stop walking, and walked straight to the center. Seeing that something was wrong, Song Gu hurriedly gave Li Chengyuan a look on the way and asked them to stop Li Chengyuan, but who would dare?

Seeing that something was about to happen, Song Gui's heart was horizontal, and he was about to reach out and pull this stubborn old patriarch, and if he was scolded, he would be scolded, it was better than dying in the future, right?

"What does this smell like, why does it stink so much? Didn't you say that Liu Mazi was beheaded? Why does this smell like a bag of? Yo, Patriarch Li, you're here too? ”

Hearing this voice, Song Gu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly beckoned someone to come.

"The younger one is the new shopkeeper of Yuanrentang, surnamed Song Minggui, and he has seen Patriarch Liu."

Li Chengyuan heard someone calling him behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the patriarch surnamed Liu, and couldn't help frowning.

"Lao Liu, are you here?"

The person who came was the patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Yunyi.

Liu Yunyi didn't even look at Song Gui, covering his nose with one hand, and inciting in the air with the other, complaining uncontrollably.

"There's no way, someone came from the pharmacy, saying that my old Liu family died, so they had to let me come over. Tell me, shouldn't this kind of big event of a dead person go directly to you, the great patriarch? Why did you come to me? ”

Hearing Liu Yunyi say this, Li Chengyuan couldn't help but remind: "Old Liu, it's your Liu family's people who died, and the pharmacy reminds you that it should be, if you don't come, who dares to take care of your old Liu family's affairs casually." ”

Liu Yunyi heard Li Chengyuan say this, and hurriedly snorted haha.

"Ah...... Haha, look at what you say, it's good for you to call these things, I can't control this kind of big thing, you just look at it, and in the end, no matter what the result is, I will never say anything. ”

Liu Yunyi wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a bell ringing, and then two more in succession. The bell rang loudly throughout the town.

Liu Yunyi's mouth opened wide when he heard the bell, and he said in shock: "This is ...... Shrine bells? Patriarch Li, do you need to be so solemn? ”

Li Chengyuan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, don't forget the rules of the town." ”

Hearing Li Chengyuan say solemnly, Liu Yunyi's face also became solemn.

The town ancestral bell is generally not allowed to ring, and once it rings, it means that something has to be reported to the ancestors. In a small town, there's nothing bigger than that.

Li Chengyuan saw that Liu Yunyi finally paid attention to this matter, nodded to him, and said, "You came just in time, let's go, let's see how this Liu Mazi died." ”

Song Gu originally thought that when Liu Yunyi came, Li Chengyuan would not go in, but he didn't expect that Li Chengyuan would not only go in now, but also pull Liu Yunyi in, which frightened him.

"Patriarch Li, you really can't go in, Patriarch Liu, you can help me persuade Patriarch Li, you two must not go in, the scene inside is too disgusting, in case something happens to the two of you, you really can't afford it."

At this time, Song Turtle's tears were scared, and he was about to kowtow to the two masters.
