Chapter 48: A Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky Reborn
Wu Xingde came in early in the morning under the leadership of his mother, Li Shi. Seeing Wu Xingde's haste, he knew that he must have something important to ask Li Jingchen, so he quickly prepared the meals that he had brought with him, lest Li Jingchen was going to go out but was empty. abdomen.
After Li Jingchen drank a glass of water, he took Wu Xingde out in a hurry, and Li Shi, who was cooking in the small kitchen, called Li Jingchen with sharp eyes, "Master, breakfast is ready, take it with you. Xingde, come here, take it."
Mrs. Li prepared two baskets of exquisite steamed dumplings with cornmeal, one for two, filled with shepherd's purse and pork stuffing, and a basket of spring onion rolls, the rolls were smeared with shallots and minced venison, and added The rice porridge in the stew pot was rotten, and I smelled these aromas in my stomach early in the morning, and I didn't want to move my feet.
Li Jingchen reached out and grabbed two Linglong steamed dumplings, and also grabbed two flower rolls, with a steamed dumpling half in his mouth, "I don't take it with me, I just eat it like this, Uncle Xingde, you eat too." Say hello to Wu Xing De, Li Jingchen also swallowed the steamed dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork. It absorbs the fat of pork and is very delicious.After swallowing the steamed dumplings, Li Jingchen said to Mrs. Li: "Nurse, take care of Shen'er and Xiao Mo'er. If they find me, tell me that I've gone out and bring them delicious food when I come back."
"Yes, young master. Eat slowly, have a mouthful of porridge, and don't choke."
Li made a gesture to pour a cup of porridge soup, but Li Jingchen immediately stopped him, "No, I won't drink it." If he drank it, he would really have to sit down and have a good meal. Finally, under the insistence of Wu Xingde and his mother Li, Li Jingchen Agreed to bring a cup of rice porridge, and Wu Xingde took it with him.
After leaving Wuheng Garden, Li Jingchen didn't take the usual road, but took a detour to the trail where Li Lihong and Xiao Wu's adultery and love were discovered at the beginning. Walking this trail will be faster and avoid people Eyes and ears, so as not to give birth to more branches.
As soon as they walked into the path, there was a commotion in the grass. Wu Xingde and Li Jingchen looked at each other, and hid behind the rockery sideways, looking at the situation outside through the added gap. After the rustling sound disappeared, no one was seen. , After waiting for half the salary, there was no movement, and when he was waiting to go out to check after a while, Li Jingchen's feet warmed up, and he looked down, and the thousand-layer cake was sticking out his tongue and looking at him, if the thousand-layer cake's eyes could Words revealed.
"It's you!" Li Jingchen squatted down and scratched the neck of the mille-feuille cake. This action made the puppy very comfortable, and a comfortable "humming" sound came out of his throat, "I didn't stay in the house early in the morning, so it made me feel uncomfortable." You are covered in dew, so you are not allowed to get close to Xiao Moer, you know, you little dirty dog."
Thousand-layer cake didn't know what Li Jingchen was talking about, so she rubbed her head against Li Jingchen's palm coquettishly.Going out for a walk early in the morning is a habit that Thousand Layer Cake has developed recently. It probably made friends in the mansion. Li Jingchen once saw it playing with a white chow chow raised by an aunt in Sanfang.Li Jingchen didn't stop Millefeuille from playing around, but there was one thing that caught the attention of Qiu Wei, who took care of the dog. Once Millefeuille came back, he had to check his whole body, so as not to get any damage to his younger siblings. One thing is good, Thousand-layer cakes don't eat food given by others, no matter how hungry they are, they will come back with an empty stomach to eat the food prepared by Li Jingshen, Li Weizi or Qiu Wei.
"Master, look at the right hind paw of the layer cake." Wu Xingde reminded suddenly.
Li Jingchen looked sideways, and the first thing he noticed was not the claws on the back mentioned by Wu Xingde, but the string of footprints left by the mille-feuille cake along the way, like the blood-colored plum blossoms that faded and finally turned into In a single row, up to the right hind paw of the mille-feuille.
Wu Xingde squatted down, stained some liquid from his paws, put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, "Blood."
Li Jingchen frowned, "Thousand-layer cake, where did you get it?" After asking, he felt confused again, asking a puppy who doesn't understand human language, what does it know?
"Huh?" Millefeuille tilted its head, and the black eyes in the slightly opened eyelids looked at Li Jingchen suspiciously, then turned to look at his paws, which felt dirty, and rubbed them on the ground a few times vigorously .But it couldn't be wiped clean, Mille-Feuille Cake got angry and decided to take the owner to find the real culprit who got his paws dirty. "Wow woof, woof woof." Millefeuille called out as it stepped back a few steps with its short legs.
Li Jingchen didn't understand what the layer cake was doing, so he didn't move.
Mille-feuille Cake yelled irritably, "Wow, woof." The master was too stupid and too annoyed.He took a few steps forward and grabbed Li Jingchen's trouser legs, and pushed his legs back. His round buttocks were sticking out, looking very strong.The master is too fat to drag it!
Li Jingchen finally understood what Thousand Layer Cake was doing, and took a step forward following the movement of Thousand Layer Cake. Thousand Layer Cake called out happily, and let go of Li Jingchen's trouser legs to lead the way.The dogs walked anywhere, probably anywhere. In order not to lose the mille-feuille cake, they could only follow the route of the mille-feuille cake, drilled a fake cave, climbed through the bushes, and finally found a Kaori stopped next to the rockery, and when the thousand-layer cake was about to go forward, Li Jingchen hugged him and blocked the dog's mouth to prevent it from making any noise.
Wu Xingde stood in front of Li Jingchen to protect him from harm. Li Jingchen was happy with Wu Xingde's actions, but organized Wu Xingde's actions, bypassing Wu Xingde and carefully approaching the rockery. Those who are six feet long and those who are short are less than one foot long. Through the cracks in the rocks, Li Jingchen can barely see the situation on the other side. There are moss growing in the cracks of the rocks and small snails crawling on them, which hinders the sight even more.Fortunately, even if it is blurry, it can still be seen clearly.
When Li Jingchen and Wu Xingde approached the rockery, they heard the sound of dragging, which was very dull, which stopped the excited mille-feuille cake from making any noise.
Looking through the cracks in the stone, Li Jingchen saw the man in the brown suit struggling to drag something. As the man walked away, the dragged thing revealed its full view. It was a long sack, about the height of a person. , there was blood oozing from what was probably the head.The well-dressed man was the eldest uncle Li Renyuan. I saw him dragging the sack with great difficulty at the moment. Maybe the sack was heavy enough?
But Li Jingchen heard that his uncle Li Renyuan can carry a thousand catties of heavy objects. Is this sack worth a thousand catties?Look carefully, when Li Renyuan dragged the sack, his right shoulder looked unnatural, as if he had been seriously injured, which made him unable to use his strength.
Li Renyuan walked backwards, stepped on something suddenly, staggered, let go of his hand, and the untied sack immediately came loose, revealing a head and a crouched hand inside.There weren't many people walking around on the path, so it looked messy and messy, and in the depths, there were branches, grass leaves, and rocks. If you don't move well, you will be tripped. Now that Li Ren is far away from looking at the road, it will be a matter of time before you get tripped.
Li Jingchen stood on tiptoe and was startled when he saw that Shi Zhongmou, who had been snatched by the mysterious man, appeared in the sack dragged by Li Renyuan.Covering his mouth, Li Jingchen suppressed the exclamation that was about to blurt out in his throat, and his mind was spinning rapidly, what's going on?
Could it be that those mysterious people were sent by Li Renyuan?
No.Li Jingchen immediately denied this possibility. If the mysterious person was sent by Li Renyuan, he would stop him when he found out that someone was investigating Shi Zhongmou, and he would not guide Wu Xingde and the others to find clues, nor let Li Jingchen get a confession.
How did Shi Zhongmou end up in Li Renyuan's hands?Did the mysterious person send it over?Why did the mysterious man act like this?
Li Jingchen's head was full of questions, but he couldn't figure it out. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became!Suddenly, Li Jingchen noticed that Shi Zhongmou's head was blooming in the sack, Da Tan's blood had solidified on his face, his head was tilted weakly, and the hand that fell out of the sack curled up unnaturally, he was already dead!
A bolt from the blue, an important witness, a person who could connect everything, died just like that!
Li Jingchen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, don't panic, he still has a confession signed by Shi Zhongmou, which is not without any evidence.Reassuring himself like this, Li Jingchen gradually calmed down, Li Renyuan on the other side of the rockery also put on the sack again and dragged the sack and walked out, there was a secret door on the trail that even Li Jingchen didn't know about, the wooden door looked so wet because of the humidity It was covered with moss, green and brown, and very dirty. It took Li Renyuan a lot of effort to open the door, and there was a narrow alley outside. It looked like the ground was scattered with dead leaves and sundries, and it wasn't often people walked around .There is such a narrow alley outside the mansion, which Li Jingchen did not expect.
Li Renyuan planned to dispose of the corpse, but a cart had already parked outside, with straw raincoats and bamboo hats on it, Li Renyuan looked around sullenly, and when he found no one, he dragged the sack onto the cart, put on the straw rain cape, Putting on the bamboo hat, pushing the cart and walking slowly with his head buried, he merged into the crowd of people who still get up early to make a living.
Stern
Jingchen asked Wu Xingde to stay close to Li Renyuan to see where he sent Shi Zhongmou's body. If possible, he would steal the body. In a short period of time, Li Jingchen had already thought of what to do after Shi Zhongmou's death up!
The sun gradually overwhelmed the darkness and illuminated the earth. Li Jingchen finished his martial arts training with a full stomach, and then took his younger brothers and sisters who got up to pay their respects to the ancestors. They ate some food at the ancestors' place, and then other brothers and sisters also came Everyone talked with the old lady Wu for a while, and then the old lady went to worship the Buddha, and they left one by one.
When Li Jingchen passed by Li Jingyan, the eldest son of the concubine, Li Jingyan laughed mockingly, and looked at Li Jingchen contemptuously, with pride in his contemptuous eyes.
Li Jingchen didn't have the same knowledge as him. Doesn't Li Jingyan's appearance mean that he hooked up with his big girl Xia Shi? Li Jingyan felt that he was attractive and capable, and he was much better than his eldest grandson. That's why Xia Shi, a beautiful girl, fell in love with her.
Tsk tsk, I can't even look down on the girl in my room, Li Jingchen is such a coward.When Li Jingyan saw that Li Jingchen thought so, he didn't know that Li Jingchen was also waiting to see his joke.
After returning to Wuhengyuan, Li Jingchen randomly checked the homework of his younger brothers and sisters, asked them to write a few big characters, and took out a section of "Disciple Regulations" for Li Jingshen to recite.
"Regulations for Disciples" is learned only by talents, and only learned about "filial piety". Li Jingchen opened his mouth and said, "Just start memorizing from 'parents are responsible, obedience, and winter is warm', and you can recite as much as you can!" Li Jingchen has already I have learned about Li Jingshen’s study progress from the master, and know that the master has finished the part of "filial piety", although Li Jingshen is still young and does not understand the meaning, but as long as he can be read, it is good, read it a hundred times, its meaning See, as you grow older, you will understand, and each age group has a different understanding of the meaning of words.
Li Jingshen scratched his head, thinking that he was covering it up very well, but in fact, some movements had already exposed his nervousness. He clearly memorized the part of "Entering Filial Piety" in class, but he seemed to have completely forgotten it after class. , with a mournful face, Li Jingshen would rather go on horseback and run circles than recite sentences.Stealing eyes on his elder brother, knowing that his elder brother is not so easy to talk, Li Jingshen began to bite the bullet and began to recite, squeaking, "Parents are responsible, we must obey. Dong Zewen...uh, Xia Zeyan, In the morning, you save, in the evening, you decide... When you go out, you must tell, and if you go out, you must face to face, there is always, often, often... Brother, punish me, I don’t remember.”
Li Weizi, who was hugged in Li Jingchen's arms, took it smoothly, "There is no change in the career, no matter how small things are, don't do it by yourself, even if it's small, don't do it by yourself, Gou does things badly, it's a bad thing, no matter how small things are, Don't hide it privately, keep it private, hurt your loved ones..." I didn't stop until I had finished reciting "Entering Filial Piety".
Li Jingchen doesn't ask his younger sister to learn much knowledge, as long as he can read, read, and be sensible. He didn't expect that some Li Weizi who accompanied the prince to study were more spiritual than Li Jingshen. Li Jingchen didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. If his parents Now, what will they do?
Unexpectedly, Li Jingchen simply put away the slight sadness in his heart and let nature take its course. No matter what happens to his younger siblings in the future, they are all his younger siblings, and he can even take care of them for the rest of their lives.
Li Jingchen didn't criticize Li Jingshen, hugged and rubbed the small knot on her head, "Xiao Mo'er is great, have you read all these words? Also, Li Jingshen, I have learned about your situation from my master." , Didn’t you know how to memorize it in class? Why did you forget it all after class? Did you know how to write all the words on it? As a punishment, you have to copy the part of ‘Entering Filial Piety’ five times, I understand.”
Please go to the teacher at the mansion. Recently, something happened at home. I heard that the daughter-in-law gave birth and went home. Therefore, Li Jingshen and the others have been resting for the past two days, and left some homework for them. Li Jingchen has read it, that is, Wen Shuhe It is not difficult to write big characters and copy the book five times.
Li Jingshen looked distressed, "I want to be a general in the future, so I have to practice kung fu instead of studying." At the end, he still didn't forget to answer his brother's question, "I can write all the words on 'Entering Filial Piety'."
Xiao Mo'er, who was in Li Jingchen's arms, shook her head embarrassedly, "I can't recognize them all, and some of them can't write."
"Xiao Mo'er can recite, it's already very good, and my brother is very happy." To his sister, Li Jingchen is tolerant, but to his brother, Li Jingchen is very strict. The boy will inherit the family business and make a fortune in the future, so he is not strict. no.After hearing what his younger brother said, Li Jingchen laughed out of anger,
"When you become a general, you don't need to read and read. How do you read military books if you don't read? How do you read battle reports if you don't read? Dad reads and practice calligraphy every day. Don't you think you are better than dad?"
Li Jingshen buried his head deeply when he was told, he felt ashamed, Li Jingchen sighed, feeling that he was speaking too seriously, he pulled his younger brother over, touched his head and said: "Shen'er, you are filial piety!" 'I can recognize all the characters in it, it's amazing, when my brother was five years old, he still couldn't write it!"
Li Jingshen's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had regained his confidence. He raised his head and held his chest high. He just said, he is also very good, but his memory is not good, and he forgets it after he recites it.
Li Jingchen looked at his brother's appearance, held back a smile and continued: "It would be even better if you can not only memorize in class, so you have to copy books.
do you know?This is your punishment for not reciting it! "
"Oh..." Li Jingshen responded with a drawn-out voice, but he was also convinced a lot.
Li Jingchen was teaching his younger siblings, and he was also anxiously waiting for Wu Xingde to come back to report the situation.As for Li Renyuan who wanted to destroy the corpse, he was also having a hard time, everything was in a mess from early morning till now.
The author has something to say: there is a typo, I will correct it tomorrow, I will go to bed first, good night everyone~
