Chapter Eighty-Three: The Real Man Behind the Scenes
Out of the pool of sins, Lu Yangsheng suppressed all his thoughts and began to run in the direction of his home. Along the way, he barely made any stops, and only then did he rush home just before sunset.
Even if he had been mentally prepared, when Lu Yangsheng saw that there was only a pile of ashes left in the original thatched hut, he still couldn't accept it.
He froze there, tears streaming out unconsciously.
The former home, after his parents were gone, had been given to others, and at that time, he had nothing.
Today, history repeats itself. Li Aniu's fire burned not only a dilapidated thatched hut, but also all Lu Yangsheng's belongings in the past six years.
At this time, as he had done six years ago, he had lost everything again.
After a brief moment of stunnedness, Lu Yangsheng staggered into the ashes. He ran to a corner of the former yard, and without caring about the dirty clothes, he just lay on the ground and dug it with his hands, and in a short time he dug a big hole in the ground.
However, nothing was found......
Tears slid down Lu Yangsheng's pitch-black cheeks, bringing out two tear stains. After a brief moment of frustration, he began to go madly and gouge around the pit. It wasn't long before he dug up the area, but he still hadn't found what he was looking for.
Still undying, he turned and rushed into the ashes of the thatch.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Yangsheng finally walked out of the ashes, and in his hands, he was carrying two charred wooden cards.
He looked blank, took one last look at the ashes on the ground, and staggered towards a cemetery outside the town.
By the time Lu Yangsheng walked to the cemetery, the sun had completely set, and darkness shrouded the cemetery, making it look extraordinarily infiltrating.
In such an environment, normal people should have been scared to run away, but Lu Yangsheng didn't care, or rather, Lu Yangsheng was looking forward to meeting something here.
It's a pity that no matter how Lu Yangsheng urges the aura to infuse his eyes, there is still only Lu Yangsheng alone in the graveyard.
He knelt down in front of the two graves with the charred wooden plaques, carefully dug a small pit in front of them, and when he had put the wooden plaques in, he covered them again.
After doing this, Lu Yangsheng looked at the small mound in front of him and sobbed softly.
"Father, mother, I'm here to see you."
He had a lot of things he wanted to say to his parents, but when the words came to his lips, there was only one sentence left.
In order not to worry his father, he clenched the ground with both hands and bit his lips with his teeth, so that the cry would not come out of his mouth.
After calming down a little, Lu Yangsheng said hoarsely.
"Dad, mother, I'm sorry, I didn't guard our home, our home was burned, and even ...... Even your tablets have been burned. It's not good for me to let my father and mother be wronged. ”
When he said this, Lu Yangsheng trembled all over, and he almost couldn't suppress his crying.
After pausing like this for a while, Lu Yangsheng still couldn't hold back and told the secret that pressed in his heart.
"Dad, mother, I did something bad, very bad, very bad."
Lu Yangsheng covered his face, and a secret full of conspiracy was slowly revealed in his mouth.
"Two days ago, the ninth master passed away, although the ninth master didn't say anything, but I know that the reason why the ninth master had an accident...... It's because of the Ganoderma lucidum I gave him. ”
"When I gave it to the Ninth Master, I just didn't want to owe everyone a favor, but I didn't expect that the Ninth Master would actually die because of this incident......"
"The night the ninth master left, I knew who the murderer was, and then ...... Then I couldn't hold back and calculated them......"
————
At the same time, Li Chengyuan and Li Nianfeng also returned home, and then Li Chengyuan began to talk to his son about the conspiracy and conspiracy in this incident.
When Li Nianfeng first learned that the person who planned everything was actually that little kid Lu Yangsheng, Li Nianfeng was taken aback, and he exclaimed.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how old is he, how can he calculate so many people?"
Li Chengyuan frowned and scolded angrily.
"Idiot, if you can't do it yourself, others can't do it?"
Li Nianfeng stiffened his neck and was unwilling to admit defeat, he asked stubbornly.
"Then Dad, tell me how he calculated to kill Li Aniu and Liu Mazi."
Li Chengyuan rubbed his eyebrows and said disappointedly.
"I remind you of four words...... Borrow a knife to kill. ”
Li Nianfeng rubbed his head, puzzled, but when he happened to see his father, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he exclaimed.
"Dad, you mean ......"
Li Chengyuan's brows furrowed, he understood that his stupid son had finally figured it out.
"Tell me all your guesses, and I'll listen carefully."
Li Nianfeng said with a frown.
"On the night of the Ninth Master's death, he must have been with Lu Yangsheng, but with the temper of the Ninth Master, he would definitely not let Lu Yangsheng explain that we would go to his old man's house to do the funeral, so Lu Yangsheng came to you, it would never be arranged by the Ninth Master, that is to say, from that time on, Lu Yangsheng was looking for you for another purpose?"
Li Nianfeng looked at his father, his eyes were full of incredulity, he couldn't believe that a twelve-year-old child could have such a deep city.
Looking at the shock on his son's face, Li Chengyuan shook his head.
"It's not as terrifying as you think, Lu Yangsheng came to me at that time, and he didn't have the intention to kill. He came to me, more to protect himself. ”
Li Nianfeng asked puzzledly, "Self-preservation?" ”
Li Chengyuan nodded and sighed.
"That's right, it's for self-preservation. Do you remember what I told you? According to the residents of Gongsun Lane, Jiuye's house is very messy, and there are obvious traces of being rummaged through. ”
Li Nianfeng nodded, wondering what this detail had to do with Lu Yangsheng.
Li Chengyuan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at his son like this. He continued.
"With that child's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to turn up the Ninth Master's house, so tell me, who will do this?"
Li Nianfeng exclaimed.
"Liu Mazi?"
Li Chengyuan nodded.
"In fact, for Lu Yangsheng, it doesn't matter who did it, the important thing is that someone must know that the ninth master has a lot of money, and that person is very likely to have known that he was in the ninth master's house at the time."
Li Nianfeng nodded, it was not difficult for him to understand this.
Li Chengyuan suddenly asked.
"Then tell me, if the thief didn't find the money in the Nine Masters' house afterwards, who would be the first person he suspected? With his Lu Yangsheng's ability, can he protect that money? ”
Li Nianfeng shook his head.
Li Chengyuan continued.
"Do you know what I admire most about that kid?"
Li Nianfeng continued to shake his head.
At this moment, he finally understood why his father kept saying that he was like a fool.
Li Chengyuan didn't say anything more about Li Nianfeng, he continued.
"It's decisive."
"Decisive?"
Li Nianfeng felt even more confused.
"Yes, decisively. I roughly calculated afterwards, according to what I said from Liu Mazi and the residents of Gongsun Lane, the child should not have the slightest hesitation after getting the inheritance of the ninth master, and the first thing he did was to come to me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come so quickly. ”
"Son, I ask you, have you ever thought about what would have happened if that kid had come a little late that day?"
Li Nianfeng said with an ugly face.
"Either they were caught by Liu Mazi and Li Aniu, or they were found by the villagers before they explained to you."
Li Chengyuan nodded and said.
"That's right, it's because he came fast enough that he avoided these things and completely cleared his suspicions."
"In addition, that kid is also very powerful, that is, he can resist temptation and suppress greed."
Li Chengyuan sighed and said slowly.
"What perseverance it is for a poor child to suddenly get a huge sum of money, but in the end he doesn't take a penny."
Li Nianfeng was a little puzzled, and he asked.
"I don't really understand, what does this have to do with money?"
Feng Ying smashed a chestnut on Li Nianfeng's head, and said with hatred.
"Silly son, you won't think about it? If that kid took the money in the box, wouldn't your father be able to see it? Do you think your father will believe what he says? Putting that aside. Let me ask you, if you have been poor all your life, but you suddenly get a sum of money, you can take it with peace of mind, at this time, will you give it all away? ”
Li Nianfeng touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"I don't think so."
At this time, Li Nianfeng began to understand why Li Chengyuan was impressed by Lu Yangsheng. But he was still a little unconvinced, he quibbled.
"We can't be sure that he Lu Yangsheng really didn't take a penny, what if he takes less?"
Li Chengyuan glanced at his son, shook his head and said.
"I wasn't sure before, but I'm sure now."
Li Nianfeng asked with some puzzlement.
"Why?"
Li Chengyuan said in disappointment.
"Because Liu Mazi died."
Li Nianfeng didn't understand what he said about this sentence, but Li Chengyuan didn't explain, but continued the topic just now.
"It's because I'm decisive enough that that kid completely got himself out of trouble in the shortest possible time, and from the time I took over the inheritance of the Ninth Master, all the problems have become my problems. It just so happens that I can solve all these problems. ”
"At that time, not only can the Ninth Master's future affairs be arranged better, but he can also completely get himself out of this trouble."
At this time, Li Nianfeng completely understood how much Lu Yangsheng had planned in that short night.
Although he knew that Lu Yangsheng's intelligence was indeed extraordinary, Li Nianfeng still didn't understand what the death of Li Aniu and Liu Mazi had to do with Lu Yangsheng. He asked cautiously.
"Then what does this have to do with Liu Mazi and Li Aniu?"
Li Chengyuan sighed.
"What I can be sure of is that that night, Lu Yangsheng really didn't have murderous intentions towards Li Aniu and Liu Mazi, that is to say, Lu Yangsheng didn't plan to calculate them at that time. However, it was precisely because of the events of that night that Lu Yangsheng determined who killed the Ninth Master and who stole at the Ninth Master's house. ”
Li Nianfeng said thoughtfully.
"That is to say, Lu Yangsheng killed the two of them because of the next day? Is it because Liu Mazi is looking for someone to spread rumors about him in order to inherit the house of the ninth master? ”
Li Chengyuan nodded and spoke.
"As it stands, it should be. But it can't be ruled out that the kid was scheming, and I didn't even see his murderous intentions that night. ”
Li Nianfeng shook his head secretly. He could believe that Lu Yangsheng was indeed very smart, but he would never believe that Lu Yangsheng could be smart enough to hide from his father.
In order to know what was going on, Li Nianfeng asked anxiously.
"And what's next? How did he start killing people with a knife after he became murderous? ”
At this time, Li Nianfeng was really curious, and he also began to believe that this incident was really a twelve-year-old child's secret plan.
