Chapter 117: Qin Huai's Hole Cards? (5.3k)
Bang!
A heavy stack of dossiers smashed on the stone table, and Qin Huai's soy milk trembled and almost spilled out.
"On the seventh day of the third lunar month, Zhang Dagen was eating wine in Huatianlou, verbally abusing me for a girl in four rooms, which provoked a big fight with his peers, and finally broke three ribs and broke his left hand."
"On March 13, I was drunk and made trouble in the Bihong Garden, which I was in charge of in the fourth room, for seven consecutive days, and the flow of visitors to the Bihong Garden was greatly reduced. So far, I haven't been able to recover."
"Gu Yu, a young man in my fourth room disappeared mysteriously when he went to Jiu Jiu Gou, and someone saw Zhang Dagen on the same road......
The more Li Buhu spoke, the more angry he became.
And what is said is becoming more and more excessive.
At the beginning, Li Buhu was still holding the rice paper and reading it word by word, but in the end, he looked at Qin Huai directly, reciting it backwards.
The anger and murderous intent between the words are not disguised.
When Qin Huai heard this, he also frowned.
He only knew that Zhang Dagen provoked Sifang one after another, but he didn't know that this person dared to be so excessive.
You can still tolerate it if you make money, but it's really endless.
"What does the family say?"
Qin Huai asked in a deep voice.
"Family ......"
Li Buhu sneered, "There is also a bullshit family, the third and fifth rooms are gloating, I wish I would be a dog for the Zhang family, and the clan meeting will criticize me all day long...... said that he didn't know anyone, and he shouldn't support his brother-in-law. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been targeted by Zhang Dagen."
He gritted his teeth, "What kind of bullshit is this, does he mean that what my Li family does, and who to support has to be approved by his Zhang family?"
"I think it's three rooms and five rooms, and I'm used to being a dog for the Zhang family...... It's all broken."
"That's it."
Li Buhu's wife Li Chunlan on the side also said indignantly.
She is not the Li family of Jiulongmen, but the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the city.
and Li Buhu fell in love with a cliché hero in a tavern to save the beauty, but the hero was Li Chunlan.
Li Buhu, who spent all his money on muscle training, went to the tavern to drink because of all the bad things of the Li family, and Li Buhu, who was already a habitual offender on credit, completely forgot that he had said that he would settle it next time, but he had no money to settle the bill after drinking, and finally was blocked by the innkeeper who couldn't bear it, shouting that he wanted to press people to Jiulongmen to ask for money.
Fortunately, Li Chunlan spent a lot of money to pay off the debt, and the two started a relationship.
The matter between the two was also a big anecdote for the Li family in the first two years, and Qin Huai also learned about it from the women who washed clothes by the river.
In addition, there are many gossip anecdotes in the Nine Dragons Gate, which opened Qin Huai's eyes.
Li Buhu continued to be yin and yang, "The third and fifth rooms regard themselves as the spiritual Zhang family, but the Zhang family doesn't recognize them."
"The day before yesterday, several mines in the south were settled, and instead of giving more shares to the three and five houses, the owner of the gate deducted the most from them."
"The reason is that the supervision is not effective, and I was harassed by the people of the Sacred Heart Cult."
Li Buhu said, laughing angrily.
"As a result, the people in the third and fifth rooms nodded with a pleasant face, as if they had received grace."
Qin Huai listened to Li Buhu's words, and couldn't help but feel that the people in the third and fifth rooms were too ridiculous.
I've been kneeling for a long time, and I'm used to being a dog.
"There is no cure."
Qin Huai whispered, "What about the family master?"
"Head of the family......" Li Buhu suddenly became dumbfounded, and looked at Qin Huai for a long time and couldn't say a word.
"What to say, it's not a big deal."
Qin Huai said with relief.
Li Buhu sighed, "The head of the family told us to bear with it, saying that the time has not yet come, and let the people under him keep a low profile on weekdays."
"But we never wanted to cause trouble in the fourth room, that big root has stepped on our heads, we can't bear it, then we still practice fart martial arts!"
Li Buhu swore a lot, he began to let go, and he output the Li family's absurd behaviors with full firepower.
Qin Huai's evaluation of the father-in-law who has never crossed paths so far is only two words.
Weak.
It's too weak.
Lack of strength is not a reason not to fight back.
Besides, although the Li family is weak, it is not weak enough to let the Zhang family slaughter it.
The most important thing is that it is too hurtful to blindly back down like Li Zeren.
If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that even one day the Li family will be able to regain the strength to compete with the Zhang family.
No one has the heart to fight anymore.
"Brother-in-law, that Zhang Dagen likes to go to two places, one is to go to Huatianlou once every seven days to have a drink, and then after eating, he turns around and goes to the pear courtyard across the street. The pear courtyard was full of women who had fled from the surrounding towns and even from outside Lingjiang County......
Li Buhu's voice stopped abruptly.
Because he has been pinched by Li Chunlan beside him.
"Count the days, there are four days left."
Li Buhu came to Qin Huai's side, "Brother-in-law, how are we going to punish Zhang Dagen?"
"After all, that guy is a ninth refiner, and he has already cultivated his potential, so I'm afraid it's not easy to make him deflated."
Punish?
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, "I didn't say I would punish him."
"Huh? That... What do you want me to do with Zhang Dagen, brother-in-law?"
"Isn't there a disciple missing in the fourth room? It's not too much for the Zhang family to be missing, right?"
Qin Huai's tone was calm.
"Sister... Brother-in-law, don't scare me. The strength of that big root is rarely matched under the bones."
"Even if it's a brother-in-law, I'm afraid you're a lot worse."
Li Buhu's heart shook, he didn't expect his brother-in-law to ask him to collect Zhang Dagen's whereabouts, not to punish him, but to make him disappear directly......
is really worthy of being a brother-in-law, and every time he thinks about it, he can't figure it out.
"I have my own way to do this, you just continue to keep an eye on Zhang Dagen's whereabouts."
Qin Huai said in a deep voice.
The news of his breakthrough nine refinements and cultivation of the White Dragon was not known.
All are still in the dark.
"But if you kill Zhang Dagen, I'm afraid that the people of the Zhang family will retaliate......" Li Buhu was a little cowardly.
"Didn't the Zhang family make a move against the Li family now?"
Qin Huai asked rhetorically, "Think about the disciples of the fourth room, and think about the Li family's monthly share."
When Li Buhu heard this, he was speechless.
What my brother-in-law said is indeed true, they are only willing now, and they don't seem to be being bullied less.
Qin Huai got up and walked out of the courtyard of the fourth room.
Then he looked at the center of the Li family's mansion and hesitated for a moment before walking straight towards the center.
Talking to Li Buhu today, he felt that he wanted to help the Li family and wanted to rise again and regain power.
The head of the house... He had to understand his father-in-law's thoughts.
Also test your father-in-law's true intentions.
The yard is not big.
A two-storey wooden building stands in the center, surrounded by cows, sheep, chickens and ducks divided on either side.
The foul smell of chicken feces and cow and sheep dung mixed with it was neutralized by an eerie scent.
It became a little indescribable.
The disciples of the Li family who were in and out of the courtyard showed a look of surprise in their eyes when they saw Qin Huai's figure.
This aunt has been in their Li family for three months, and it is the first time he has come here.
"Hey, this is the Li family's important place, and idlers can't trespass!"
The sturdy-looking strong man pestle blocked Qin Huai's way at the door.
"Then please help me report it, and say that my son-in-law Qin Huai has something important to discuss."
"You wait here."
The sturdy man said this, and walked quickly towards the back room.
And then
He came out quickly.
"The head of the house said it, but I don't see it."
Hearing this, Qin Huai frowned slightly.
He made a gesture and wanted to go inside, but the strong man suddenly blocked in front of Qin Huai.
"Uncle... Don't embarrass me."
The strong man smiled bitterly.
Qin Huai in front of him was already the eleventh in Qinglong Pass, and his terrifying combat power was naturally not something he could stop.
And he has a good impression of Qin Huai, because his mother-in-law and doll have benefited from Qin Huai's hands, and he has a good impression of him.
It's just that......
He's just a pawn.
"Then please tell me more."
Qin Huai looked at the embarrassed appearance of the strong man and continued.
"Uncle, master, he... I don't like to see you very much."
"yes, I know."
Qin Huai nodded.
Seeing Qin Huai's resolute attitude, the strong man didn't want to say anything more.
Turned around and walked into the attic.
"Come in."
Upstairs, Li Zeren's voice came.
"Uncle, please ......" The strong man who had just walked into the building was happy, and said again, "Uncle, be careful when you speak, don't make a stiff relationship."
"Thank you."
Qin Huai had a smile on his face, and then walked briskly up to this attic.
The second floor is not spaced by wooden planks, so you can see it from the outside.
A middle-aged man with a neat face sat on a bamboo chair by the window, holding a copy of Lingjiang's local county chronicle "Lingjiang Landscape Record" in his hand.
Qin Huai walked in front of him, Li Zeren was still looking at the book, and he didn't raise his eyes to look at Qin Huai at all.
"Head of the family, I don't know what you think of Zhang Dagen's actions in the last two months?"
Qin Huai went straight in.
"You're trying to teach me how to do things?"
In a word, it directly makes this attic full of gunpowder.
"Don't dare, I just think that the Zhang family is ambitious, and there is absolutely no intention of wanting to coexist with the Li family."
"I'm afraid that blindly pushing will plunge the Li family into a place of no return."
Qin Huai's words were sincere.
"Now the Zhang family is boiling frogs in warm water, which is a little bit of a drain on the strength of the Li family and eats away at the hearts of the Li family."
"If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of revival for the Li family."
Qin Huai always remembered the promise he made to Li Shaoxiang and the destiny she believed.
In order to repay his wife for saving her life, Qin Huai will do his best to help her untie the knot.
Li Zeren put down the county chronicle in his hand and looked at Qin Huai coldly, "Why, after learning the image of Haoyue's humble son, and winning over the hearts of the people for two months, you feel that you can replace him?"
"The younger generation who think they have the ability to dominate the Nine Dragons Gate, or even the Nine Dragons Gate?"
Li Zeren sneered.
"You can imitate Haoyue's actions, but you can't imitate his true heart."
"You're too far away from him."
Qin Huai frowned slightly, but still said, "Zhang Haoyue, this person, I'm afraid is definitely not as tolerant and kind as he shows."
As Zhang Haoyue's "friend", he has received his experience many times, but he can't move.
Obviously, no matter how "close" the two are, it will not affect the experience points.
This phenomenon has never happened before.
The only explanation is that Zhang Haoyue's friendliness to herself is disguised.
The so-called "the two worked together to lift the infighting between the Zhang and Li families and lead the Nine Dragons Gate forward" are all words on the scene.
Li Zeren slowly stood up.
The tall figure made him look at Qin Huai condescendingly.
"A person can disguise for a day, for ten years, or even for a year. But he will never be able to be as gentle and humble as he has been for more than ten years, and treat others like close friends."
"And...... If a person has been disguised for more than ten years, or even a lifetime, then it doesn't matter whether he is disguised or not?"
Li Zeren looked at Qin Huai indifferently.
"I thought of you
He has good talents, and he is diligent and hardworking, although he is not as good as Haoyue's child, but he is still Xiang'er."
"But ...... now"
"But you openly slander a senior brother in front of me who everyone in the Kowloon Sect loves and loves? Questioning the character of a senior brother of the Nine Dragons Gate?"
Li Zeren's voice gradually increased.
"If Zhang Haoyue is really like this, then how should Zhang Dagen be explained?"
"What does Zhang Wu's grandson's fault have to do with Haoyue's child?"
"If Haoyue is in power in the future, it will inevitably bring the Zhang and Li families back to the right path, and the original antagonism will naturally dissipate invisible."
Qin Huai listened to Li Zeren's remarks and was suddenly dumbfounded.
It was hard for him to believe that these words actually came from the mouth of the head of the dignified Li family.
Li Zeren actually took such a fancy to Zhang Haoyue.
It's no wonder that the third and fifth rooms dare to openly mock the fourth room.
Qin Huai took a deep breath.
It's also that Zhang Haoyue is hiding too well, if he hadn't picked up experience and found it suspicious. It is inevitable to suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes will be Zhang Haoyue.
It's just that......
Now the dignified head of the Li family believes in Zhang Haoyue so unswervingly.
It seems that it is unrealistic to seek the support of the head of the Li family and let himself act with more confidence.
"Hurry up, I'm upset."
Li Zeren waved his hand and made a final conclusion on the coffin, "You will never be able to become Haoyue."
He drove Qin Ze away directly.
Qin Ze took a deep breath, then clenched his fists and withdrew silently.
Naturally, there is no hatred for Li Zeren's attitude, after all, if the other party hadn't relented and agreed to Li Shaoxiang to leave him in Jiulongmen, he would have been reincarnated by now.
It can only be said that Li Zeren was brainwashed by Zhang Haoyue.
Completely deceived by his superb acting skills.
But this is not a problem, all disguises will be torn apart by great strength.
Qin Huai walked out of the attic house.
"Uncle, please stay."
A kind-faced middle-aged housekeeper blocked Qin Huai's way.
"You're... Second Uncle's Mansion?"
Qin Huai remembered the identity of this person.
"Exactly."
The housekeeper smiled all over his face, "The second master wants to invite you to the house for a gathering."
Qin Huai's mind came up with the figure of the second master, who didn't move around much in the Li family's mansion on weekdays.
Even if it is a clan meeting, or a sect discussion, it will not be silent.
just watched silently, for most of the Zhang family's proposals, there was only one answer from the second room.
Don't listen, don't do, don't cooperate.
Everyone knows that he is the most staunch hardliner, but because he is only a shadow in the Nine Dragons Gate and even the Li family, he is temporarily dormant.
"Then I'll have to worry about the butler leading the way."
Qin Huai smiled.
It seems to be another village.
When he walked into the courtyard of the second room, there would be a few "uncle" sounds around him.
In the study, Qin Huai saw Li Zewu, the second master of the Li family.
Although the name has Wu in it.
But this second uncle is a polite scholar.
Long hair shawl, smooth skin.
It's just that the strong muscles in the open heart are a little disobedient.
"Boy Qin Huai, I've seen the second uncle."
Qin Huai clenched his fists.
"Hahaha...... My uncle is outside, and what kind of courtesy do you do when you see your own family."
Li Zewu hurriedly got up, pulled a chair and pressed Qin Huai down enthusiastically.
"That's what the second uncle said."
Qin Huai also smiled, "I don't know what the second uncle came to me for?"
"Uncle really doesn't know?"
Li Zewu looked playful.
"There's a guess
Some, I just don't quite understand it, right? Please also ask the second uncle to give advice." Qin Huai said truthfully.
Li Zewu pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "You kid has been different from the moment you enter the door."
"It can be said that everyone is watching, the people of the Li family hate you, and the people of the Zhang family want to kill you...... My eldest brother is even more supportive of Shaoxiang girl, leaving you alone."
"But even this situation has been reversed by your light words."
"Your talent is very good, as my niece said, you have the opportunity to become the key to my Li family's reversal of the situation."
Li Zewu got up and personally poured Qin Huai a cup of tea.
The two of them just sat in the study and chatted.
"But the most important thing is that you see clearly! I see the thoughts of the Zhang family very thoroughly!"
"Knowing that they didn't come near them because they had bad intentions seems simple...... But in today's Li family, it's not common."
Speaking of this, Li Zewu couldn't help but sigh with a sigh on his face.
Today's Li family has been imperceptibly infiltrated by the Zhang family.
How many people have the surname Li and think about the safety of the Zhang family, even he doesn't know.
"You've even put the four-room axe back on the right path."
"That's why I've been keeping an eye on you and the four-room ...... Then I found out that the fourth brother recently sent someone to follow Zhang Dagen, and he followed him very frequently."
"Coupled with the stupid things that Zhang Dagen has done recently, you went to Li Zeren again today for the first time."
Li Zewu was stunned, and then returned to the main line.
"I think my uncle is going to make a big move."
"Is it so obvious?"
Qin Huai asked rhetorically.
"It may not be someone else, but you're ...... acted too quickly, Qingyulou's shot, and the trip of September Hook can be described as killing people without blinking...... This is something that makes many Zhang family members look like pins and needles."
Li Zewu smiled.
The killing of Wu Zi'an by Gou in September seemed to have no waves for a while, but in fact, the entire Jiulong Gate and even the entire Lingjiang County big shots paid attention to Qin Huai.
And the calm that didn't even blink at the eyes of three or four hundred people after that made their hearts tremble.
This is also the reason why Li Zewu is optimistic about Qin Huai and takes the initiative to find him.
"It's just a means of self-defense."
Qin Huai explained.
He didn't want to kill too many people, but they would have a lot of trouble if they didn't die themselves.
And they won't listen to Qin Huai and retreat after saying a few words.
It can be said that Qin Huai was helpless to wipe out all these threats from them.
Zhang Dagen is the same.
This person has no scruples in acting, and if he does not get rid of it at this time, it will definitely become a great disaster, and it is difficult to guarantee what he will do.
"Huh...... If my uncle said so, then it should be so."
Li Zewu didn't care, "My unsuccessful son travels all day long, looking for opportunities and strength to bring down the Zhang family."
"The people of the Zhang family have a lot of prejudices against our second room."
"So there are a lot of old people who have nothing to do and eat dry food at home, and if there is anything that Uncle can do that they can help, just tell them to do it."
"You can't let them cultivate their bodies all day long, can they?"
"How do you calculate the price?" Qin Huai snorted.
"My brother has to settle accounts."
When Li Zewu talked about money, he immediately became serious.
"Uncle asks someone to work, and I'll pay my uncle two hundred taels!"
"Two hundred taels is fine...... Huh?"
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, "Second Uncle give me two hundred taels?"
"It's so hard to find a job now, it's good to pay for it!"
"I'm not rich in the second room, so don't think my uncle is giving me less money."
