Chapter 156: Night Grass
The fourth day of March in the 28th year of Zhenghe is unforgettable for the people of Jinhai.
Overnight, the flag-like sword and crane died, and the high-ranking members of the Li family were imprisoned.
One of the three surnames of the dignified Jinhai, he actually wore the notoriety of the Litong snake people.
This is a big deal for a small city.
The absurdity of the incident and the suddenness of the incident made countless people in the city worried and unable to sleep all night.
This night, Smoke Willow Lane was exceptionally deserted.
But in many other parts of the city, the lights were on all night.
Until the early morning of the fifth day of the third month.
The sun did not give anyone face, and rose as usual, making the light of dawn bloom in the eastern sky on time.
As a result, life returned to normal at a speed that no one could have imagined.
On Chisha Avenue, yawning people opened the door, and the stalls came out.
The sun is rising, and the flow of people is getting crowded.
As usual, the heat of the bean curd and the aroma of steamed buns began to diffuse.
The only difference is that Li Heming's name repeatedly sounded inside and outside the shop.
It's like a new breakfast condiment.
······
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
On the ninth day of the third month, at noon.
In the side compartment of Mingshan Hall, wine and food are like flowing in.
A second-class butler waved off the maid and waited in the room himself.
"Second brother."
Hong Ping poured a glass of wine for Hong Fan and asked.
"How do you know that in the matter of the Li family, the hearts of the people have been settled?"
"Aunt Liu told me."
Hong Fan replied casually.
Hearing this, everyone was amazed.
Hong Fan smiled and swallowed a piece of mutton face meat.
"Yesterday, my aunt went to Tinghai Pavilion for me to get braised cow hooves."
"She came back and told me that the inscription hanging in the main hall on the first floor of Tinghai Pavilion had been removed."
"This morning, my aunt went to the corner of Anning Street to buy cooking cakes for me."
"She came back and told me that the stall owner had changed his shout."
Hong Yu heard this, and he realized.
"Yes, I went to listen to Haige two days ago, and I felt that something was missing in the main hall, it turned out to be the word inscribed by Li Heming!"
Then, Hong Fu also interfaced.
"I often go to the street cake stall, and the stall owner's inseparable shouting from the first three sentences is the Li family's favorite cooking cake."
When Hong Ping heard this, he was immediately convinced.
"Alas, it's the second brother in the end."
"Now my mother scolds me and always makes fun of you."
As he spoke, he took the opportunity to pour a glass of wine into his mouth, and was glared at by Hong Sheng.
"What did the eldest lady say?"
Hong Fu asked curiously.
"She said that the second brother is exquisite, and the eldest brother is calm."
Hong Ping sighed.
"Alone I have a can of water above my neck, and a bag of lard under my neck......"
As he spoke, his hands kept moving, secretly filling his empty cup.
The corners of Hong Fu's mouth grinned, and it was easy to hold back the smile.
"The lard is pretty good, too."
Hong Lie was relieved.
"Don't say it, at least the stir-fry is quite fragrant."
At this moment, everyone laughed, including the butler standing on the side.
After a few rounds of small talk, the topic inevitably turned back to the Li family.
"I've been busy in the back garden of the Li Mansion for two days."
Hong Fan said.
"With the help of the sand world, that tunnel has been backfilled in half."
"The rest will be finished and consolidated by the Li family themselves."
He said and walked alone with Hong Sheng.
"I heard my father say that the Li family is very cautious, and I can't find any evidence on paper after searching through the house."
Hongfu said.
His father, Hong Cheng, was the commander of the City Defense Division and was in charge of the inventory of the Li Mansion.
Now, on the one hand, because of Hong Fan's relationship, and on the other hand, Xiu Wei is about to break through to the breakthrough realm before Hong An, and the little fat man has finally gained his father's attention and has some exclusive news.
"That's true."
It was Hong Sheng who replied.
"Li Heming is very careful."
"No letters, no contracts."
"Until the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the whole thing has obviously come to an end, and there are less than seven people in the Li family who know the truth."
"Even the group of Wudang riders who dug the tunnels were kept in the dark, thinking that they were digging the family's way of life at a critical moment."
He spoke with embarrassment, obviously shocked by Li Heming's ability to govern the family.
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
"Li Licheng, Li Shenji and others have all explained."
"Three days ago, the Zhangwu Academy released two carrier pigeons, and now Xijing should have sent someone over."
There was silence in the room for a while.
A moment later, Hong Ping asked Hong Fan.
"The Li family has more than 400 mouths, saying that they have been locked up in the house again, and they have fixed people and fixed points for daily purchases?"
"I heard outsiders say yesterday that the alien race in the middle is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, will they all die?"
Hong Yu, Hong Fu and the others all raised their heads when they heard this, obviously also concerned about this matter.
"I don't think so, it should stop at the first evil."
Hong Fan said.
"Of course, the law of the country is the law of the country, but the extermination of the clan is generally written in the law, and throughout a dynasty, there are not many examples of actual punishment."
He pondered for a moment, holding out two fingers.
"Two reasons."
"The first is that although the matter is big, in the end, Li Heming's plan did not succeed."
"The vast majority of the Li family are innocent, and it is not appropriate to sit on a large scale."
Hong Fan said, seeing Hong Ping and Hong Fu nodding again and again.
"The second is that Gimhae is too far away from Shenjing, and the place is too small."
"The Li family has been the face of this city for hundreds of years."
"There is a family with a head and a face in the city, which family does not have a daughter-in-law surnamed Li?"
"How many children's mothers, grandmothers, and maternal grandmothers are from the Li family? And how many daughters of families married into the Li family? ”
"Don't talk far, our Uncle Ming is married to the daughter of the Li family......"
After a few words, the atmosphere on the table was much brighter.
"Brother Fan can see it clearly."
Hong Fu praised.
"The Li family is in the game, but they are very confused."
"I heard from my father that in the past two days, seven groups of people tried to escape overnight, but all of them were arrested by his people."
"These twenty or so people went to the city guard prison and went with Li Dashao as a companion......"
······
The next day, the tenth day of the third month.
The garden trees have rained and are verdant.
After lunch, Aunt Liu took the two maids out of the city with a vegetable basket and soup, saying that it was the season and she wanted to pull out some Ma Lantou and mix sesame oil tofu for the young master.
So Hong Fan was left alone in the Asahi Temple.
Of course, he never idle.
Because of the deaths of Li Heming and Xiao Shisan, the sand world has come back with a lot of nourishment.
It is the reason why Hong Fan has entered the realm very fast recently, and last night he opened half of the big points of the second strange vein, the "Yin Seesaw Vein".
This is only one month and three days since the seventh day of the second month of the second month when he entered the realm of chaos.
Considering the shortage of martial arts resources in the Pure Realm realm, he was equivalent to saving three or four months of penance.
"Sure enough, the horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth."
Hong Fan sighed.
"If Jin Hai can kill Li Heming every once in a while, I don't have to wait for this autumn harvest, and I will become a congenital master......"
He said as he took off his shirt and moved his joints.
After entering the realm of chaoran, Hong Fan's strength took another leap.
Barbells made of metal are no longer enough to support training.
Fortunately, some time ago, the exercise equipment in the courtyard was fully upgraded by the craftsmen of the Cui family and changed to a steel pulley and hemp rope structure.
In this way, at least there is no problem in using it to the peak of the power realm.
