As the sun set, smoke curled in a small mountain village only five miles away from the town of Ciyu, and the people who had returned from farming had gone home to prepare dinner, and no one noticed that a group of ghostly black-clad people had suddenly sneaked into the village.These ghostly black-clad men are as light as swallows, walking on the high walls of the roof as if they were walking on the ground without making any sound.Even the people who were busy cooking and eating in the courtyard did not notice that there were figures passing overhead.In the courtyard of a farmhouse in the northernmost part of the village, a white-bearded old man walks to the well with a wooden stick, fumbling for a bucket to quench his thirst.After returning from the town, he locked himself in the house and knelt in front of the spiritual seat of the old patriarch of the Li clan to confess his incompetence, unable to prevent Li Erye from seizing power, and had no strength to protect Li Junshen from successfully inheriting the position of patriarch.But he saw that Feng Xiannu had the ability, means, and resourcefulness, and he believed that Feng Xiannu would assist Li Junshen to take over the position of patriarch, but it was a pity that the mediocre and greedy Li patriarch became a stumbling block."
Alas!
It's a pity that I'm an old blind man who can't really do much. ”Grandpa Xin dropped the stick and muttered to himself as he pulled the rope to carry water.Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes were wide and empty, and he laughed ecstatically and said, "Yes, yes, that's it!"
I can do it!
I can do it!
Hahaha!
Stumbling block, I'm going to remove this stumbling block!
”"Who is the stumbling block that Uncle Xin is talking about?
Me?
Or is it the second one?
Third?
Fourth?
”The abrupt sound of inquiry frightened the white-bearded old man's hands trembling slightly, and the rope he pulled was immediately loosened, and the bucket that had been mentioned at the mouth of the well fell back into the well with a "plop".Grandpa Xin almost bit off his tongue, and his saliva choked him a few times.Empty eyes widened and looked at the source of the voice, and asked in surprise."
Ahem!
Patriarch?
You......
How did you come here?
”A curved horsewhip held Grandpa Sin's fat chin, forcing him to tilt his head slightly, as if facing him."
You old and immortal bastard, you are really tired of life, you dare to go against me and help the little slut calculate me?"
The calloused hand replaced the horsewhip and strangled Grandpa Xin's neck fiercely.Patriarch Li approached his face and gritted his teeth and cursed, spitting on Grandpa Xin's old face, "When the old bastard died, I suspected that he had something that he hadn't handed over.After you fled far away and didn't see anyone alive or dead, I let you go for the time being. ”"Do you want to let me go for the time being, or are you afraid that killing me will arouse the suspicion of the second old lady?
Patriarch, eldest prince, do you think the old patriarch only left me a will?
”Grandpa Xin opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but still refuted Patriarch Li without yielding.He has no worries now, as long as he moves away from this stumbling block, he will be worthy of the old patriarch who treats him like a mountain, and live up to the trust placed in him by the old patriarch when he was dying.Patriarch Li saw that Grandpa Xin no longer had the idea of greedy for life, but he didn't want to do it so easily.Let go of his hand, flick the horsewhip and slam it on Grandpa Xin's body, scolding while whipping hard."
Old immortal bastard, see if you dare to eat inside and out, and collude with outsiders to harm me.See if I don't kill you!
Shoot you!
”"Hahaha, you've finally shown your true colors."
Grandpa Xin lay paralyzed on the edge of the well and looked up to the sky laughing, his body was powerless to resist, and he could only endure the pain of the horsewhip on his body.He seemed to be a soldier who was not afraid of life and death, staring at the sky with wide empty eyes, laughing and shouting loudly."
Old patriarch, the old slave really admires you, your eyes are like a torch, none of these four sons can be like you, they ......
They have nothing to do with wolf ambitions......
Greedy as a swarm of leeches......
Disgusting!
Disgusting!
”"Shut up!
How dare you curse that I am a leech?
Disgusting?
Hehe, I'm disgusting you!
Disgusting!
Disgusting!
”Patriarch Li was furious, brandished his horsewhip harder, and whipped Grandpa Xin's face, body, and legs.Every whip is like a vent, and there is remorse.I knew that there would be today's disaster, and when this old blind man defected to the second old lady Li, he should have secretly cut down the grass and eradicated the roots."
Enough!"
Second Master Li, who suddenly appeared, grabbed the arm raised by the patriarch Li, snatched the horsewhip and threw it into the well.Standing at the gate of the courtyard were the third and fourth masters of Li who came with them, as well as ......
"Second uncle?"
How did you come?
”Seeing the second old lady Li, the patriarch Li pretended to be surprised, but he had already guessed that the second old lady Li would not let the old housekeeper Xin suffer misfortune.Li Sanye and Li Siye helped the second old lady Li into the hospital left and right, and Li Erye also bent down to pick up Grandpa Xin, who was beaten and scarred."
The old slave visits the second old lady."
Grandpa Xin trembled and knelt down slightly and kowtowed, and was helped up by Second Master Li in time.The second old lady Li glared at the patriarch Li angrily, and was helped by the third master Li to a bench and sat down, holding the dragon head and commanding: "Second brother, quickly help Steward Xin to sit down." ”"Yes."

Second Master Li helped Grandpa Xin to sit on a small stool next to the stone mill, and then walked to the well to fetch water to wash the blood stains from the corners of the old man's mouth.Even if the patriarch Li still looked restrained and polite when he saw the second old lady Li, the third master Li and the fourth master Li were even more cautious in their words and deeds.Among the four brothers, only Second Master Li was at ease, walking around unrestrained in front of the Second Old Lady Li, wiping Grandpa Xin's face, washing his hands, and dusting the dirt on his clothes.Second Old Lady Li took out her handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Second Master Li, saying, "Steward Xin, the eldest brother of the patriarch gave me a handwritten suicide note when he was dying, do you also have it?"
”Grandpa Xin nodded and said sadly: "The old slave lived up to the old patriarch's dying trust, failed to protect Brother Shen, and had no ability to assist him in inheriting the position of patriarch.Alas!
Alas!
”"It seems that the patriarch's eldest brother has already made arrangements, but he failed to anticipate his four sons......"
The second old lady Li looked at the four nephews standing in front of him, which one he watched grow up, and he didn't lose to anyone when it came to wisdom, but unfortunately he was narrow-minded and open-minded enough, his greed for power and wealth was too good, and his vision was not long-term enough, and he didn't have the foresight of the patriarch's eldest brother to take one step and see ten steps."
Second uncle, what was my father's handwritten suicide note back then?
Why did you never disclose it?
”Second Master Li came to the second old lady Li, just like pestering the second uncle to tell stories to satisfy his curiosity when he was a child.Second Old Lady Li blinked her tear-drenched old eyes and said with a wry smile: "I'm the same as Steward Xin."
Our two old bones can live to this day, just to keep the patriarch's dying words.We don't dare to die!
”Grandpa Xin also felt the same way, and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, "Alive, in order to be loyal to the trust of the old patriarch." ”The feelings of these two old men in the sixtieth century for living only for loyalty have not been recognized by the four brothers, and their thoughts and eyes have been on the matter of handwriting the suicide note, and they have no time to care about other people's feelings about life and death and loyalty.The second old lady Li took out an old and yellowed handwritten letter from his sleeve, and actually used a piece of royal gold sprinkling rice paper stamped with the emperor's gold seal."
This emperor's golden seal......
It's true?
”Patriarch Li was in disbelief, Second Master Li's eyes straightened, and Third Master Li and Fourth Master Li were also stunned.() Glory to the end
