Chapter 41: One Knife and Ten Thousand Taels

The Zhang family's response was quick.

Early the next morning, Li Wuchang was woken up while he was still in a dream.

"What's the matter, I can't live in peace early in the morning, really, I just dreamed of a few beautiful women spending the Spring Festival with me, and I was scared by your voice. Li Wuchang was very tired, and when he got up, he couldn't open his eyes.

The voices of the nurse and Xiaoru came to my ears.

Then I heard Steward Qian shouting: "Fourth young master, get up quickly, the master is looking for you in a hurry, many people are waiting for you now." ”

Steward Qian's voice was very anxious, and it was no longer as calm as before.

Li Wuchang opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn, he was a little excited after beating Zhang Yanbo last night, and after he came back, he fell asleep with everyone, and practiced his sword skills in the yard for a long time, and he just fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

"What's the matter, Steward Qian, who is in a hurry, has rushed to my room. With the help of Xiao Ru, Li Wuchang quickly got dressed and washed up again.

The money steward explained.

It turned out that the Zhang family came, saying that they wanted to seek justice from Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang snorted coldly in his heart, secretly thinking that it was good to come here, and now I will collect the medical expenses from you.

The East Courtyard is already very lively.

Li Lingwu, Li Hu, Li Qing, Zhang and other Li family members.

Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yanbang, Zhang Yanbo three father and son.

Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng is the second brother.

All present.

As soon as Li Wuchang arrived in the East Courtyard, he enjoyed more than a dozen strange eyes, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, first greeted his father, and then said hello.

Finally, his eyes stayed on Zhang Yanbo.

Oh my mom, it's not human-shaped, her nose is blue and her face is swollen, and her whole body is injured, which is several times worse than the last time.

"Oh, second cousin, what's wrong with you? Li Wuchang was indignant.

"You don't pretend there, my injury was caused by you?" Zhang Yanbo gritted his teeth and said.

Li Wuchang was inexplicable, stunned, and puzzled: "You said that I beat it, so what evidence do you have?"

Then he snorted coldly and continued: "Second cousin, you can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense...... I took the wrong medicine, I barely know some medical skills, and I can save you, I said the wrong thing, wronged a good person, that's not a joke. ”

Zhang Yanbo looked at Li Lingwu and said: "Uncle, last night, when I was going home in a carriage, I was attacked in a small alley, it was Li Wuchang, he first knocked my two subordinates unconscious, and then put me in a sack and beat me like this, he scolded while beating, and I heard the voice really clearly, it was him." ”

When he was carried home by the two little guys last night, he was already dying, and the Zhang family was furious, not knowing what had happened.

Zhang Yanbo said that he was beaten by Li Wuchang, and everyone didn't believe it at first, but Zhang Yanbo thought that Li Wuchang did it, said that he heard his voice, and even swore a poisonous oath, so Zhang Xiu believed it.

originally wanted to communicate with Li Lingwu first before making a decision, but Zhang Yanbo refused to live or die, pestering Zhang Xiu to seek justice for him, Zhang Xiu had no choice, so he had to come to the Li Mansion with his two sons early in the morning.

Who knew that Li Wuchang would push everything as soon as he came up, and Zhang Yanbo had no choice but to explain the situation to Li Lingwu.

Li Lingwu looked at Zhang Yanbo's tragic situation, then glanced at the breezy Li Wuchang, thought for a while, and said, "Impermanence, what were you doing last night?"

Is this looking for evidence?

Li Wuchang was overjoyed, last night he specially went to bed early to hide people's eyes, and when no one was paying attention, he sneaked out of the back window of the room, and then quietly left the house.

Of course, it is not the main gate of the house, because the concierge has a record of which moment the host goes out and which moment he goes home.

Li Wuchang went out over the wall.

Over the wall?

Nonsense, of course, it's over the wall, the ghost figure method is not built, how can a wall less than two zhang high stop Li Er from being stunned.

"I should be asleep, I went to bed early last night. Li Wuchang replied, his expression calm.

"Steward Ye, go and ask the concierge, when did Impermanence go home, did he go out at night?" Li Wuchang turned his head to the chief butler Ye Rong and ordered.

Steward Ye arched his hand and quickly retreated.

After a while, he came back and replied: "Master, the fourth young master came home at noon yesterday, and he hasn't been out of the house since." ”

"No way, he must have gone out, and you don't want to cover him. Zhang Yanbo yelled.

"Yanbo, shut up. Zhang Xiu saw that his son was very uncalm, and hurriedly reprimanded.

Li Lingwu shielded the real murderer, this can't be said nonsense.

But now there is really no evidence to prove that Li Wuchang did it, can it be that Zhang Yanbo just has a mouth, this is unreasonable, even if it is really Li Wuchang who did it, there is no way now.

Zhang Xiu really has a headache, and he has broken his heart for Zhang Yanbo these days.

For a moment, the scene froze.

Li Wuchang coughed lightly and said, "I understand the feelings of my second cousin, but I really haven't done it...... Let me think about it, by the way, it must have been a Khitan spy. ”

Then his face was solemn, and he said viciously: "These Khitan spies and hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, they are coming in waves and waves, they are looking for someone to cut me before, and now they are looking for someone to beat my cousin, which is really arrogant." ”

Khitan spies, come on, carry the pot well.

Li Wuchang sighed again and said, "Second cousin, you are lucky, you were just beaten, and then your uncle and eldest cousin are in charge of you, and I was slashed seven times, almost killed on the street, and I didn't even have a word of comfort." ”

After a pause, he stared at Zhang Yanbo, and said meaningfully: "I think it's better for the second cousin to be careful, this time it's a sack pullover, maybe it's a knife and axe...... Whatever you have done, you have to pay it back. ”

When Li Wuchang said that he didn't even have a word of comfort, the Li family had different expressions.

Yes, he was stabbed seven times in his body, and he didn't even cry out for pain, nor did he ask his family to make decisions for him.

Is he stubborn, or does he know that Zhang Yanbo did it, even if he asks someone to call the shots, he will be suppressed, so he simply doesn't say anything.

When they heard the sentence that they had to pay back everything they had done, everyone knew it in their hearts.

It seems that Li Wuchang already knows the truth about the assassination, and this time he has made it clear that he wants to get justice, if he can't get it back, he doesn't mind giving Zhang Yanbo a knife and axe next time.

Li Lingwu looked at Li Wuchang, silent, and did not express any attitude.

Zhang Xiu reacted and said: "Impermanence, you tell your uncle the truth, did you do it?" Don't worry, say it, your uncle will not embarrass you, and today I will help you make peace with your second cousin, clarify the misunderstanding, and we will still be good brothers in the future." ”

The matter has come to this point, what else is there to say, you can't stop dying, looking at the expression of Li Wuchang, maybe there is already some crazy plan.

Damn, this kid is really stunned, let's not mess with him yet.

Let him admit it first, and then continue to talk with the Li family.

Zhang Yanbo didn't comply, and shouted: "You can't do this, father, you must seek justice for me, I will never give up without paying the price, and it is impossible to make peace." ”

Zhang Xiu glared at Zhang Yanbo and said angrily: "Shut up for me, isn't it shameful enough?"

Then he smiled at Li Wuchang and said, "Impermanence, you tell me what you think." ”

Li Wuchang smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle, that's the case, a few days ago, I was stabbed seven times by a group of madmen, and I spent a lot of medical expenses, you know, I have a low status, and I am not old, so I have no industry, no income, do you see if you can casually support some medical expenses? ”

I just wanted some medical expenses.

Zhang Xiu smiled in his heart and said, "It's okay, then my uncle will support you with a thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

Li Wuchang shook his head and said slowly: "Uncle, you can't insult me, I think you are calling Huazi ...... Or, in the eyes of my uncle, I was originally called Hanako?"

Li Qing opened his mouth and said, "Impermanence, speak well." ”

Zhang Yanbo also spoke: "One thousand taels is not enough, is your body made of gold?"

Zhang Xiu looked at Li Wuchang, saw that he didn't have any nervousness, and said with a smile: "Is it uncle's, how much do you think it is appropriate for impermanence?"

Li Wuchang thought about it for a moment and said, "One knife is 10,000 taels, a total of 70,000 taels, how about it?"

Everyone was shocked when the lion opened his mouth so widely.

Including Li Lingwu and Zhang.

Zhang Yanbo said angrily: "Seventy thousand taels? Do you want to blackmail? You just go and rob it, it's easier to rob it, it's really crazy to think about money." ”

Li Wuchang shrugged his shoulders and nodded: "Good idea, since my uncle is unwilling to give it, then I have to rob it." Anyway, I recently met a gangster on the road, and I heard that he recently took a job and made a lot of silver taels. ”

Then he patted his head and thought for a moment, and continued: "What's his name...... Oh, by the way, it's called Ma Liben, and he's a gangster in the area of Upper Lok County. ”

When Li Wuchang said Ma Liben's name, everyone finally changed color.

The little leader of the killer who has been looking for many days has been controlled by Li Wuchang all along.

Li Hu, Li Qing and the others secretly staggered, Li Wuchang is not obvious these days, how did he do it.

Li Wuchang stopped the scene and said to himself: "I heard that Ma Liben is very cunning, should I find Mr. Du of Dali Temple to catch a handle, and give him a thousand taels when the time comes, well, a good idea." ”

Zhang Yanbo no longer had the arrogant momentum just now, but he still refused to admit defeat, and whispered: "Mr. Du will listen to you? ”

Li Wuchang nodded and said, "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I almost forgot that Liu Xuan, the son of Liu Zhengqing, President Du's boss, wants to enter the military department, yes, I can't find President Du." ”

Seeing Li Wuchang so unscrupulously say the tacit understanding between Zhang Xiu and Liu Zhifan, everyone's faces became complicated.

They all regard Li Wuchang as a fool, but people are like mirrors in their hearts.

Li Wuchang said to himself again: "If the old lady of the Zhou family hands a sign and says that she wants to thank Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty will meet the old lady, and then the old lady will talk to Your Majesty about Ma Liben...... Oh no, let's talk about the suspicion that General Zhou was plotted by the Khitans, I don't know if His Majesty will give the old lady a face and send someone to investigate thoroughly. ”

Damn, this stunned young man really does everything.

No, we have to get him done quickly, if this continues, the Zhang family will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

Zhang Xiu's heart was racing, he laughed dryly, and said: "Such a trivial matter, how can you trouble the old lady of the Zhou family, this way, impermanence, you take good care of your body, tomorrow your uncle will send someone to send you 70,000 taels of silver tickets, you see how it is." ”

Even if he was helpless, he really had to give in at this time, just thinking about pressing things down, where could he care about seeking justice.

Li Wuchang's heart was full of joy, he smiled like a fool, and said, "Thank you, uncle, I'll go to recuperate." ”

After a pause, he explained: "As for that Ma Liben, I will scare him when I turn around, let him stay away, and ensure that he will withdraw from the rivers and lakes in the future." ”

After that, he glanced at Zhang Yanbo contemptuously, like a proud rooster.

"Don't be so complacent, sooner or later one day you will be called good-looking. Zhang Yanbo was not breathing.

Li Wuchang looked at him and said seriously: "I advise the second cousin to speak through the brain in the future, just take this time as an example, in order to be quick for a while, you made the Zhang family suffer heavy losses." ”

"Why did I let the Zhang family ......," Zhang Yanbo wanted to defend.

Li Wuchang interrupted him, his face was grim, and he counted the accounts.

"General Zhou's military expenditure is 80,000 taels. ”

"The Li family has three big Zhuangzi, totaling 150,000 taels. ”

"My medical expenses are 70,000 taels. ”

"It should cost a lot to buy killers and extermination fees, at least 10,000 taels. ”

In addition, the uncle promised Liu Zhengqing's son Liu Xuan an important position, which was realized. ”

"Also, no matter what the outcome of the matter is this time, there will be a rift in the relationship between the Zhang family and the Li family. ”

Li Wuchang listed it for him in the same way, and said with a straight face: "Second cousin, do you say that it is miserable? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Whether it is friend or foe in the future, the second cousin decides." ”

Since I have spread it out, I will simply make it clear at once, so as not to play dumb riddles together, and show my attitude by the way.

Zhang Yanbo's face flushed, and he finally couldn't speak.

The others squinted at Li Wuchang, and their hearts set off a monstrous amount.

From this moment on, they all have to re-examine Li Wuchang.

This kid is sensitive, ruthless, decisive, and bold, and he is definitely not the useless Li Er stunned as rumored.
