Chapter 345: Liu's Silver Ring
Looking at the dilapidated and leaky cold kiln, coupled with the weather in this cold winter, Xue Gongju's mood at this time was colder than the weather.
It is unimaginable that many years ago, a nine-year-old child of the Hedong Xue family lived to the age of thirteen in this kind of place, and what made him fall to this place was the Hedong Xue family's own people.
The old butler who accompanied him said hatefully: "Damn it! Such an uncle who is inferior to a beast is not a pity to die! ”
Xue Gongju nodded: "Thinking of my Hedong Xue family, since the ancestors moved to Hedong, they have developed to their current scale after hardships, what do they rely on?" In addition to self-improvement, that is to huddle together for warmth. Without unity, we were driven out of Hedong four hundred years ago. ”
"Don't you think that the Xue family actually produced such a child? The closest relatives do not know how to love each other, but for the sake of personal greed, they ignore the affection of the flesh and blood, and are in vain as the son of man! ”
"Someone came, and sent someone to take all Xue Li's uncles and brothers. In addition, I informed all the Xue family members in Longmen County that a clan meeting would be held in Jiangzhou three days later, and I would make the crimes of these people public, and remove all of them from the Xue clan in Hedong except for Xue Li. ”
The old butler nodded heavily, "The old man is wise." If there is such an unhealthy trend, it should be killed ruthlessly. If it weren't for Xue Li's great life this time, wouldn't he have starved to death a long time ago? Is the Xue family in Longmen County like Xue Li alone? If there is a child like Xue Li, I am afraid there will be more such children. The wind must not rise. ”
Xue Gongju waved his hand: "Go and do something, remember, don't leak the news." ”
"Master, do you want Xue Li to know?"
"Don't be deliberate, it's normal for this kid to have complaints in his heart, we have to sincerely let him accept the Xue family, it's not good to be too deliberate."
"Yes, sir."
Early the next morning, Xiao Yu ordered someone to carry the dowry and take Xue Li to the local big family Liu's house.
With Xiao Yu's identity, Mo said that the Liu family, a big family in Longmen County, even the local county orders had to come out respectfully to greet them, but today the Liu family was unusually quiet, and the door was closed and no one was visible.
"Li'er, is this Liu family also as virtuous as your uncle? Do you want to break the contract? The day before yesterday, I had someone deliver the message. ”
Xue Li shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, there may be a misunderstanding, Uncle Liu is not such a person. He is a close friend of his father, has a good character, and has a good reputation in Longmen County. ”
Xiao Yu stroked his beard and said, "Come on, go and call the door." ”
The subordinate knocked on the door, and after a short time the door opened, and an old housekeeper walked out, and as soon as the two sides negotiated, the old housekeeper hurriedly ran over to salute.
"Master Xiang's forgiveness, my lord is not at home."
"Not at home? The old man sent someone to hand over the greeting post yesterday, explaining that he was visiting today. How? The Liu family wants to break the contract? Xiao Yu asked majestically.
The old butler was so frightened that he knelt down, "No, no, don't dare!" When the greeting post was delivered yesterday, the old man was already gone. It was the third master of the Xue family who came in person, saying that Prince Xue Li wanted to meet my young lady in advance, so the old man took his wife and young lady together and followed the third master of the Xue family out. ”
Who? My third uncle?
Xue Li's eyes straightened, "I didn't say that I wanted to meet Miss Liu in advance." ”
"Who is this?"
"I'm Xue Li!"
"The son forgives the sin, but the third master of the Xue family clearly said ......"
Not good!
Xue Li slapped his thigh, "Father-in-law, so my third uncle is making trouble, he pretended to be my name and took away the three members of the Liu family." ”
Xiao Yu shouted angrily: "Bastard! What a guts. Let's go to Longmen County. ”
Xue Li said anxiously: "Father-in-law, I don't worry, I want to take someone back to the village to find it first." ”
"Okay, you take all the guards, be careful."
Xue Gongju, the patriarch of the Xue clan in Hedong, who was still temporarily living in Longmen County, also heard about it, "Family master, something happened to Xue Li. Xue Li's third uncle, Xue Lun, kidnapped the Liu family and wanted to prevent Xue Li from fulfilling the marriage contract. ”
Xue Gongju said angrily: "No wonder I couldn't find Xue Lun yesterday, it's more and more so." Bastard, damn it! Order, use all the power of our Xue family in the local area, and make every effort to capture Xue Lun, the soul of Xue Lun, at a critical moment, life and death. ”
Xiao Yu found the Longmen County Order, and the Longmen County Commander hurriedly sent someone to help the fist, and for a while, the entire Longmen County was stirred up into chaos.
Besides, Xue Lun picked up the three members of the Liu family, and Xue Lun took him home, lying that Xue Li now lives in his hometown Hanyao. In fact, he wanted to detain the three members of the Liu family in exchange for a promise from Xue Li, a promise not to retaliate. But when he returned home, he found that his son had been taken away.
I heard from Mrs. that it was not Xue Li, it was Xue Gongju, the head of the Xue clan in Hedong, who ordered the clan to be punished by law, and even to remove everyone from the Xue clan in Hedong.
Xue Lun hated itchy......
"Xue Li, Hedong Xue Clan...... If you don't let Lao Tzu get better, then everyone shouldn't think about it. ”
Instead of running away, he waited in his own house for someone to come to him.
The first one to find was Xue Li, Xue Li, who led two hundred guards.
"Third uncle, are you the one who arrested the Liu family?" Xue Li rode on his horse and asked in a cold voice.
The slug kid back then, now he can't recognize it, but between his eyebrows and eyes he looks very much like his incompetent second brother. But the young man in front of him was a heroic young general.
"Yes, very good. Big nephew, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye. Now that he is a world-famous figure, my second brother's spirit in the sky should also be blinded. ”
Xue Li shouted angrily: "Shut up! Hugh wants to mention my father, you are not qualified. The people who handed over the Liu family, I don't embarrass you, and you and I have nothing to do with each other from now on. ”
Good!
"Hand over my son and let us live, otherwise you won't want to see the Liu family again in your life."
Your son?
"Inexplicably, I've never met your son."
"Hehe, Xue Gongju sent someone to arrest my son, you go back and ask him."
Xue Gongju?
"Okay, I'll go back to him, if he captures your son, I'll go and ask for someone. Now, hand over the people of the Liu family. ”
"It's enough to see my son."
Xue Li was furious: "Stubborn, archers prepare!" ”
No!
A woman rushed out of the courtyard, "Don't, let's hand over someone, we'll hand over ......"
Xue Lun grabbed the other party, "Madam, go back!" ”
"Xue Li, don't do it, he's your third uncle, he broke bones and tendons, and his blood is thicker than water." Mrs. Xue cried.
Xue Li looked at the woman indifferently, "Third aunt, it's not that I don't miss family affection, it's that my third uncle is ruthless, kidnapping the people of the Liu family for no reason, and destroying my marriage contract, you still persuade him." ”
At this moment, the three members of the Liu family walked out in the courtyard, and the Liu Yuanwai led by him said loudly: "Nephew Xue Xian, I misunderstood, we were not taken by him, but invited." ”
"Who are you? Uncle Liu? Xue Li hurriedly turned over and greeted him, "Little nephew Xue Li, I've seen Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu." ”
"Yinhuan, come and see your Xue family brother."
A girl with a delicate face of fifteen or sixteen walked out shyly and gave a polite salute: "I've seen Brother Xue Li." ”
Xue Li nodded, and then asked Liu Yuanwai, "Uncle Liu, what's going on?" ”
Liu Yuanwai sighed and said, "Virtuous nephew, Xue Lun is indeed not well-intentioned. But after all, he is your third uncle, and if you kill him, it will not be good for your reputation if you spread it. Forget it, we didn't get any damage, let's go. ”
"But he ......"
"He's a villain, he's just afraid that you're getting rich and rich, and he's coming back to take revenge on him, and he wants you to make a promise, and Mrs. Xue has made it clear to us."
After taking a deep look at Xue Lun, Xue Li nodded and walked out with Liu Yuanwai.
Xue Lun collapsed to the ground weakly, "Madam, why did you let them go?" The son is still in their hands. ”
Not long after Xue Li left, Xue Lun's family was taken by the Xue family in Hedong, asked about the situation, and then escorted to the ancestral hall of Jiangzhou Mansion for trial.
