Chapter 424: No Fool in the World (177|292)
Jinhua Mansion, Chengdong, Li Family!
The surname Li is a big surname, whether it is a county seat or a prefecture, there is no shortage of rich and noble.
The Li family in the east of the city is a wealthy family of Jinhua Mansion, and the vermilion lacquer on the gate is without a trace of spots, and the stone lions are placed on both sides to set off the door.
At this moment, the head of the Li family, he was listening to the slave in front of him tell the news about Xianxialing.
"The head of the family, Xianxialing, rode a horse to see it in person, the Taoist temple was razed to the ground, although the corpses of the Taoist leaders have not been seen, it is terrible that all of them are fierce and auspicious,"
"On the way back, the little one also heard that the Xianxia faction and the disciples who were secretly collected are still alive, this is the fire left by the Xianxia faction, but the list of disciples of the Xianxia faction has been mastered, I am afraid that many people in the city will be implicated,"
"Go down and receive the reward!" the head of the Li family waved his hand to signal the servant to leave, his relaxed expression became gloomy, he stood up and strode into the back hall.
At this moment, a young man in the back hall was sitting upright next to the chair, he was gently sipping tea with a teacup, and when he saw the head of the Li family walking in, he stood up and asked, "What is the matter with my uncle coming to me?"
"The Xianxia Sect has fallen,"
"What does it have to do with me if the Xianxia Sect is destroyed," the young man shook his head slightly, looking at the head of the Li family with a puzzled look.
The head of the Li family was expressionless, and said in a deep tone: "It doesn't matter, it's not you who have the final say, but what Wei Linggong says,"
"What do you mean, uncle, I have nothing to do with the Xianxia Sect," the young man shook his head to show that he didn't understand.
"Li Li, how young are you, I really don't know about your dealings with the Xianxia faction, the drunken immortal building four years ago, and three years ago, two months ago, this is only what I discovered, and I didn't find more,"
"Visiting friends, going to enjoy the music, such an inferior method, I really think we are all fools, let you deceive, just turn a blind eye and don't expose you,"
"Now that Welling Gong has obtained the roster, he has not done anything in Jinhua Mansion now, this is waiting for our reaction,"
"Judge yourselves,"
"I will take care of your wife and children, and you can be guaranteed to be rich and prosperous all your life,"
"The roster, this is absolutely impossible, I was secretly accepted by the head, and I will never leave a roster record, only the head of the house knows, the head will never say it, uncle, rest assured, this is just a bluff. ”
Li Li didn't hide anything, he watched his uncle accurately tell the time of his contact with the Xianxia Sect, and he didn't have any luck.
"How can I not know how much bluffing there is, but you can be 100% sure that you will not be recorded in the roster?" the head of the Li family, who looked at Li Li aggressively.
Without waiting for Li Li to answer, the head of the Li family continued: "You can't, because what you just said is just the words of the head of the Xianxia Sect,"
"What the head of the Xianxia Sect wants to do, only he knows. ”
"So even if it is a bluff of nine, as long as one becomes true, my Li family can't afford to gamble,"
"One Taoist sect, if you say it will be destroyed, it will be destroyed, and if you don't obey, you will break the door and destroy the clan,"
"Uncle is trying to force me to death, I'm not afraid that I will resist, you must know that I have been taken in by the Xianxia faction and have already learned the Tao, and these people arranged by my uncle are just ordinary people, far from being my opponents," Li Li's eyes were cold, and he looked at the head of the Li family and said coldly.
"Of course I'm afraid, but if you dare to do it, not only will your wife and children not be able to escape, but even your mother will die, and Wei Linggong is in charge of the underworld, even if you die, it won't be over, and you are destined to go to eighteen layers of hell,"
"But as long as you commit suicide, Wei Linggong will not continue to pursue it, your wife and children can be saved, and your mother can spend her old age in peace," the head of the Li family was not weak, his eyes stared at Li Li, his lips kept squirming, and the words kept ringing:
"The only death that has been difficult through the ages is not terrible compared to suffering after death,"
"You killed me, Welling Gong knows the reason, and he will definitely reward me, and the Li family will still be able to survive this catastrophe at that time, maybe I will be appreciated by Welling Gong for the blessing of misfortune, and I will be able to do something in Shinto, and I will be able to protect the Li family,"
"Uncle is really cunning and cunning, and he handles all aspects of affairs, no wonder he can make my Li family's business flourish in Jinhua Mansion,"
"Time is pressing, someone may come to the door in a while, will they kill me and run away and kill my family?"
"Do I still have a choice?" Li Li smiled miserably, and he saluted to the head of the Li family: "After I die, I will ask my uncle to take care of their orphans and widows,"
"Don't worry, you died for the Li family, this is a merit, how can I do something that makes the family feel cold, only if the family works together, my Li family can gain a foothold in Jinhua Mansion, otherwise sooner or later it will be reduced to a broken settlement in the countryside,"
"That's enough," Li Li's words were weak, and the hatred in his eyes gradually began to fade, and finally he lost all his brilliance.
Looking at Li Li's corpse, the head of the Li family said in a low voice: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, this is also for my Li family,"
"You are gifted, this is not innate, I spent a lot of money to ask the Taoist to dredge your muscles and bones, take a hundred years of stalactites, I originally planned to let you worship the Xianxia faction, and protect my Li family when the time comes,"
"Who would have thought that the head of the Xianxia Sect would secretly accept disciples, but it could be regarded as a success. ”
"But now that the Xianxia Sect has fallen, you are an unstable element, and when the time comes, you will be instigated by outsiders, and you will be hostile to the Duke of Welling, and it will affect my Li family, not only is it not helping, but it is a cancer. ”
"That Xianxia faction is not a good thing, the candidates for the apprentices are all the children of the wealthy family of Jinhua Mansion, and they don't want to expand their influence with the help of us,"
"I came secretly a few times, but I really didn't find out, but every time I pretended not to know, and deliberately showed my means in front of me, and teased me and other ordinary people as stupid people,"
"If you want to talk about Taoism and insight, I definitely can't, but I think I'm not bad at conspiracy and calculation,"
"During the prosperous period of the previous dynasty, the emperor Guangjian spies on the daily life of the courtiers, tells them in every detail, plays the courtiers as monkeys, and deliberately reads out in the palace how many bowls the courtiers eat and how much meat they have."
"As everyone knows, the real monkey is the emperor, and the courtiers know the secret agents in the palace, but they keep it secret, deliberately revealing the emperor's heart,"
"As long as you have a heart, you can't find it once or twice, how can you never notice it,"
"There are no fools in the world, and you can know the rise and fall by looking at history," the head of the Li family sighed, and he said a lot of words.
He walked out of the back hall and shouted to the servants outside: "Young Master Li Li's old illness has suddenly passed away, go and inform his wife and children,"
"Li Linai is the pillar of my Li family, he died suddenly, and the funeral must be done in a big way, and there must be no sloppiness. ”
"No!"
