Li Family Zhuangzi, in a small remote room, Li Wuchang and Steward Qian were inside, talking about things.

Fat Bear and the others waited outside the door to prevent others from disturbing them.

Frightened by Li Wuchang's methods, Steward Qian seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and had to tell Li Wuchang about the past.

"Back then, the lord was not the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he was sent by His Majesty to Xiangyang to do business, and when he came back, he brought back the fourth lady, that is, the fourth young master, your mother, although the fourth lady is the daughter of a down-and-out merchant, but she is knowledgeable, and she is extremely good-looking, and she is very gentle, so the lord is very fond of her. ”

At that time, the eldest lady had been in the Li Mansion for some years, and the eldest young master was also two years old, and he was dissatisfied with the behavior of the old man who only cared about the fourth lady, so he went back to her parents' house to complain to her father, Master Zhang. ”

Master Zhang told her that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and large families pay more attention to having more children and grandchildren, and reminded the eldest lady to know how to be patient, anyway, in the future, the Li Mansion will be her son's. ”

"Later, the fourth lady was pregnant with the fourth young master, and the lord was more concerned about the fourth lady, the eldest lady was worried that her status was threatened, and she was even more afraid that the fourth lady was pregnant with a son, threatening the status of the eldest young master, so she was resentful, and went to find her eldest brother, who is now Zhang Shilang, to be the master, Zhang Shilang usually loves the eldest lady the most, so he came up with an idea......"

Steward Qian said this, paused, and secretly glanced at Li Wuchang, and found that his face was pale, extremely angry, and he might go crazy at any time.

"Go on!" Li Wuchang said lightly.

Steward Qian sighed secretly and continued: "When the fourth lady was about to give birth, at that time, the lord happened to be sent by His Majesty to Wuyuan County to discuss the border with the Huns, and Zhang Shilang proposed...... proposed, secretly drugged the fourth lady, but the fourth lady was born prematurely, originally thinking of one corpse and two lives, the fourth lady was tenacious, gritted her teeth and gave birth to the fourth young master, and passed away......"

"Bang!"

Li Wuchang slapped the table hard, grief-stricken, and said, "So, this ghost idea was proposed by Zhang Xiu's old fucker?"

Steward Qian saw that Li Wuchang called Zhang Shilang by his name, and knew that Li Wuchang was now extremely angry, so he knelt down and said, "Little Lao'er doesn't dare to hide it, it's true." ”

"Who else is involved?" Li Wuchang continued to ask.

"Zhang Shilang is responsible for making ideas, the eldest lady told the little old man to grab the medicine, and there is a grandmother who is responsible for boiling the medicine, but now that grandmother has passed away. "The money steward didn't dare to hide it.

Li Wuchang was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "After my father came back, did he investigate carefully?"

Steward Qian nodded, and said: "After the master came back, he was very angry, and asked the doctor, and the doctor replied that it was an emergency, although it was rare, but he has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen several examples of the same premature birth, saying that you can save the fourth young master, you are lucky, at that time, His Majesty did not take the throne for a long time, and it was the time when the master was most important, so the master was very busy, and he didn't have the time to investigate at all, and now after so many years, things have faded." ”

Li Wuchang said: "Who is that doctor, who dares to talk nonsense like this?"

Steward Qian said weakly: "He has passed away now, he is the imperial doctor, surnamed Liu, he was very famous back then, at that time he owed the Zhang family favor, and that remark was also taught by Zhang Shilang to say it, the old man did not suspect it, because premature birth happens in every family, and it is not unusual." ”

Li Wuchang's heart was cold, and he couldn't imagine that this was the case.

Zhang Xiu's two brothers and sisters, the Qian housekeeper, a grandmother of the Zhang family, and a royal doctor, joined forces to kill their mother.

Steward Qian banged his head and shouted: "I beg the fourth young master not to tell the master, now the Zhang and Li families are wearing a pair of pants, if they fall out, I don't know how many people will be implicated, in case they are taken advantage of by other families in Chang'an City, the Zhang and Li families will be uncomfortable, and the consequences will be very serious." ”

"You still fucking know how to care about this, so when you went to grab the medicine, did you think about the consequences?" Li Wuchang gritted his teeth and said.

"Xiao Lao'er has been square all his life, and he has only done that lack of virtue once, and he regrets it for decades. Steward Qian continued to kowtow, leaving a lot of tears and snot, looking very pitiful.

Li Wuchang kicked the money steward over, and roared: "At this point, you still want to fool me, Fang Zheng? You did something immoral? Then what happened to the soup you sent me for five or six years? Do you want me to hack all your grandsons and grandsons to death in front of you, so that you are willing to be honest?"

When Steward Qian heard this, his face was like ashes, and then he crawled in front of Li Wuchang, hugged Li Wuchang's calf, and cried: "Fourth young master, there are thousands of mistakes, they are all the fault of the slave, the slave pig and dog are not as good, the pig and dog are not as good, you must not embarrass the slave's family, the slave kowtows to you, kowtow to you, kowtow ......"

Then there was another kowtow, and blood was pouring from his forehead.

Li Wuchang thought for a while, instructed the housekeeper Qian, and said: "I'll give you another chance, you write out everything you know, and then press the handprint, I want to put it away, I will use it in the future, and if you dare to grind and chirp, or if you want to fool me, I will really kill your whole family, don't think I'm joking, don't try to go to the Zhang family for help, in that case, your whole family will die even worse." ”

Steward Qian was completely honest now, took the pen and ink from the table next to him, trembled and wrote down the truth of the matter according to Li Wuchang's request, and then pressed the handprint and respectfully handed it to Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang read it carefully, received the confession into his clothes, looked at the embarrassed housekeeper Qian at his feet, and said coldly: "That grandmother and that Imperial Doctor Liu are dead, who else is in the family?"

These bastards, just dead, too cheap for them.

Steward Qian knew that Li Wuchang would settle accounts with them, so he didn't dare to hide it, thought for a while, and replied seriously: "That grandmother is a lonely person, she was bought back by the Zhang family from a dealer when she was a child, and she has no relatives, and that Imperial Doctor Liu has no son, only one daughter, and she married in Yangzhou." ”

Grandma is a bear, she really wants to cheapen them, Li Wuchang thought hatefully.

"You are also considered an accomplice, tell me yourself, what punishment should you accept?" Li Wuchang temporarily left that grandmother and Imperial Doctor Liu behind, thinking about dealing with the money steward first.

Steward Qian began to kowtow again, begging for mercy: "The slave let the fourth young master fall, I only ask the fourth young master to be merciful and let go of the slave's family." ”

Li Wuchang thought about it for a long time, and finally paid attention, and said: "Leave you a dog life first, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, you chop off your right hand, and then think of a reason, hide it from everyone, and don't let others know that I found you trouble." ”

After a pause, he said fiercely: "In the future, you don't want to do things for the Zhang family, you have to live well, maybe you will come out to testify against the Zhang family in the future, for the sake of your family, don't think about dying, and don't want to take your family away and fly away, even if you escape to the Xiongnu or Khitan, I will send someone to arrest your whole family back." ”

When Steward Qian heard this, he was completely numb, and he shouted in his mouth to thank the fourth young master for sparing his life.

To tell the truth, Steward Qian originally planned to die, but now it is obviously a luxury, Li Wuchang is so crazy, maybe as soon as Steward Qian dies, Li Wuchang will kill his whole family.

Steward Qian was completely afraid of Li Wuchang, and he made up his mind that even if he completely betrayed the Zhang family, he couldn't make Li Wuchang unhappy.

Li Wuchang thought about it carefully, the Zhang family and the Li family do wear a pair of pants now, and Li Wufeng, the heir of the Li family, is the nephew of the Zhang family.

Even if Li Lingwu knew the truth, it was unlikely that he would completely fall out with the Zhang family, although he was the head of the Li family, but there was still a group of elders of the Li family looking at him, and he still needed to consider the affairs of the Li family as a whole.

Those elders are all a group of old and stubborn, who regard the interests of the family as higher than the sky, and they attach great importance to the difference between the elders and the concubines, and they will never completely turn their faces with a big family like the Zhang family for the vain death of one of Li Lingwu's concubines.

After all, which big family has not had a dispute over their concubines?

What family's concubine can fight against the power of his son-in-law?

Is there any big family that hasn't had a concubine die?

Mother's revenge must be avenged, but Li Wuchang thinks that he must not be impulsive, if he is not careful, not only can he not take revenge, maybe he will die without a place to be buried, and it will also affect the nurse and Xiaoru and the people who follow him.

This matter has to be worked out slowly.

That grandmother is dead, and she has no relatives, so she has to forget it.

That Imperial Doctor Liu is also dead, and he has to find an opportunity to find his daughter in Yangzhou and ask for some interest.

Steward Qian will keep it first, punish it a little, maybe he will use it in the future, anyway, his family is in Chang'an City, you can find someone to keep an eye on, they can't run anywhere.

As for Zhang Xiu, that hypocrite, he must not be so cheap.

You have to plan well and make their Zhang family unable to turn over.

Grandma a bear!

Didn't they want me to be a joke, if I couldn't turn over? Well, let's see!

Li Wuchang thought hatefully, and unconsciously made a gong in his palm.

"Bang!"

The table shattered.

Steward Qian was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Li Wuchang's internal strength was so high.

Suddenly, Steward Qian felt that he was really a tragedy, he accompanied the smiling face, rain or shine, and sent Li Wuchang soup with ingredients for five or six years, that is, Li Wuchang couldn't practice, but he didn't expect that he was already a first-class master, and even the table was easily broken, how could Li Wuchang's internal strength be very low.

"What, it's weird, isn't it?" Li Wuchang looked at Steward Qian with an unusually surprised expression and asked.

Steward Qian bowed his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Again, you are not allowed to divulge half a sentence of today's events, otherwise you will definitely know the true meaning of the word regret...... Also, if Zhang's thoughts and actions are notified to you, remember to report them. Li Wuchang said lightly.

Steward Qian said: "Yes, Fourth Young Master, from now on, the slave will be the Fourth Young Master's person." ”

He actually reverted to his usual calm appearance.

Since he has made up his mind to betray the Zhang family, he might as well do it more thoroughly, in his opinion, Li Wuchang must have endured for many years, and he has not made trouble until now, and the depth of the city is extraordinary.

Everyone in the Li family, including the people in the city, thought that Li Wuchang didn't know martial arts, and he was a fool who had no brains and only knew how to get into trouble.

But what about the facts?

Steward Qian believes that Li Wuchang's scheming is not below any son-in-law in Chang'an City.

No, it's not that it's not below any son-in-law, but it's a lot higher than any son-in-law, don't say it, just take Li Wufeng, who is one of the five sons of Chang'an, and he can't compare to Li Wuchang at all in terms of scheming.

"Remember, after a while, I want to chop off your own right hand, and I'll send someone to check it. Li Wuchang coldly put down the next sentence and walked out of the room with his feet raised.

"Yes, the minion obeys...... Congratulations to the young master!"
