The third elder just didn't want A Lan to seize the opportunity to investigate them, because what he was most worried about was that the gold mine would be exposed. Originally, he planned to take away the leader and control all the Leng family's business. But then he thought about it carefully.
, the wealth that the gold mine has brought to him is enough, and he is very satisfied. The purpose of spreading the rumors in the first place was to let the clan re-elect the leader. When the time comes, he will be handed over to the chief elder. He is no longer interested in being the leader.
He actually hoped that after Yueyao came back, she would continue to fight with A-Lan, so that A-Lan would be distracted. Unfortunately, the woman had been under house arrest in the backyard after she came back. They had always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the woman, but in fact
I just want to cooperate with her.
Shopkeeper Liu poisoned Shopkeeper Li in his own house. If A Lan discovered this, he might not even be able to do it as an elder.
The third elder was worried that the second elder would not know about it. After listening to the third elder's words, the second elder said: "I know your worries, but you are too careful. This matter was done by shopkeeper Liu.
But it doesn’t have anything to do with it. If A-Lan discovers it, we won’t admit it. But shopkeeper Liu is indeed a ruthless character. I really didn’t expect that he would move so fast.”
The third elder said: "There were four shopkeepers who left the Leng family. Shopkeeper Tang did not come to the elder's house. Two of the three people had an accident. It was easy for people to think that it was A Lan who caused the trouble. Originally, something happened to shopkeeper Qi.
I also thought it was A-Lan who did it, but now it seems that what happened to Shopkeeper Qi may have something to do with Shopkeeper Liu."
"No way? Didn't you suspect that A-Lan met the young master of the Nan family just to drug the shopkeeper? How could he become shopkeeper Liu? Are you too suspicious?" the second elder asked doubtfully.
The third elder suddenly thought that all the things were done by Shopkeeper Liu, which surprised him. Because the third elder had always thought that those things were done by A Lan, because only A Lan had the ability to poison them. But the third elder
It is also possible that he was worried. Shopkeeper Liu was very courageous. Since he could take action against Shopkeeper Li, he could also take action against Shopkeeper Qi. However, when did he poison Shopkeeper Qi?
The third elder could see that although the second elder comforted him with his words, he also doubted Shopkeeper Liu's ability in his heart, so the third elder continued: "Actually, the second brother also doubts Shopkeeper Liu, but I don't know when he did it. If
It’s really him, it’s simply too scary.”
"Is he really doing this to gain our favor?" the second elder asked doubtfully.
"It's still unclear why he did this, but I don't dare to reuse such a person. Maybe he will bite us someday," the third elder said.
"Third brother, I think you are somewhat contradictory. You want them to kill each other, and you also plan to reuse a few of them. Now that Shopkeeper Liu's approach is also in your plan, why are you so timid?" asked the second elder.
.
"I understand what second brother means. Shopkeeper Liu is also very smart. He didn't kill Shopkeeper Li, he just blinded Shopkeeper Li. Originally, I really planned to reuse him, but he is too assertive. In the future,
It’s not easy to control at all.” said the third elder.
When the third elder said this, the second elder immediately understood. The reason why the third elder didn't like Shopkeeper Liu was because Shopkeeper Liu and the third elder had very similar temperaments. However, the third elder hid it very well and would not reveal any traces.
The second elder nodded, understanding what the third elder meant, but can he still drive away shopkeeper Liu now?
"What are your plans for Shopkeeper Liu?" the second elder asked.
"Since I have promised him before, we can just arrange a shop for him in a few days. Originally, I planned to let him participate in our plan, but now it seems that I cannot reveal a word to him." The third elder said.
"Then is it still necessary for him to come to the elder's mansion every day?" the second elder said.
"What does second brother mean..." the third elder asked.
"Don't forget, brother will be back in a few days. When he comes back, he will definitely mention the gold mine. Wouldn't it be very troublesome if Shopkeeper Liu hears it?" said the second elder.
"I will find a way." The third elder said.
Since Shopkeeper Liu was the only one left now, the third elder asked the housekeeper to invite him to have a meal with them in the main courtyard. Shopkeeper Liu was naturally very happy, because he thought that the third elder planned to reuse him and made such an arrangement.
After lunch, the third elder sat aside and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, I have told you before that for the sake of your safety, I hope you will stay in the elder's mansion. I wonder how you think about it?"
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned. He did not expect that the third elder would bring up this topic. He had already rejected the third elder before and had no such intention. Could it be that the third elder investigated something and found out something, so he made such an arrangement for his own safety?
?
"Elder, I told you before that I can't worry about my family," Shopkeeper Liu said.
"Yes, I was thinking that it would be better to let your family live with you. It won't be very convenient for you. It is indeed unsafe during this period, so why not do this? Don't go back and forth in the past few days and stay here.
Stay at home for a while, and when the shop matters are settled, I will ask someone to invite you over?" the third elder said as he got to the point.
Shopkeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't have to bring his family to live with him, but he knew in his heart that something must have happened, otherwise the third elder would not have suddenly changed his mind and stayed at home. But if he stayed at home,
, he would be more free, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, I just don't know when Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Qi will recover. I didn't expect that the young master would kill us, and I know clearly that it will be my turn soon.
Already."
"Several shopkeepers suffered because of us, and we will not treat them badly. Ah Lan does this because he hates us. I plan to go to the house today to find Ah Lan, and I hope he doesn't mind." San
The elder said.
In fact, the third elder has always wanted to meet with A-Lan, so he sent someone to the Leng Mansion last night. However, he did not expect that A-Lan refused to see them. He had not been seen in recent times and was very busy, but asked the housekeeper to tell him that he was not available.
See them for nothing.
The third elder planned to go to the house to meet A Lan in person and wanted to know the reason why shopkeeper Qi suddenly fell asleep. However, he did not expect that what happened to shopkeeper Li made the third elder suspicious of shopkeeper Liu. Shopkeeper Liu should never give in.
Liuzi took action in the elder's mansion because he knew that if something happened, shopkeeper Liu would be the first to blame the elder.
"The elders are all doing it for us. Thinking about it, Master Allan didn't try to save us, but the elders extended a helping hand at this time. We are really very grateful and plan to repay the elders whenever we have the opportunity in the future. It's a pity.
, the young master seems to be really unwilling to accept us. I don’t think it’s better than this, I will personally go to the young master to ask him to calm down, at least shopkeepers Qi and Li can get better quickly.” Shopkeeper Liu said.
"How can you worry about this matter? I can only temporarily aggrieve you and live at home for a while. When there is news, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible." The third elder spoke again.
When shopkeeper Liu saw what the third elder said, he naturally didn't say anything else and could only agree to what the elder said. In fact, he was also a little worried about the elder discovering that he had poisoned him, otherwise he wouldn't have let the six sons go out to avoid it.
"Yes, I just listen to the third elder." Shopkeeper Liu said.
Before shopkeeper Liu left, the third elder sent the silver and supplements that had been prepared to the carriage. Shopkeeper Liu was very surprised when he heard the third elder say: "There are three pieces of silver, which are prepared for the three shopkeepers."
Yes, today I will stop by to visit Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Qi. If there is any good news, remember to ask the coachman to come back and let me know."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Liu responded.
Therefore, shopkeeper Liu did not go home directly, but went to shopkeeper Qi first.
After getting off the carriage, Shopkeeper Liu took the silver and tonics out of the carriage, patted the door gently, and the door opened.
"It turns out to be Shopkeeper Liu, please come in." When the servant saw that it was Shopkeeper Liu, he enthusiastically invited him in.
The servant took the supplements and money from shopkeeper Liu and entered the house together.
"Madam, brother Qi, is he feeling better?" Shopkeeper Liu asked his servants to put things on the table and said to Mrs. Qi.
Mrs. Qi shook her head and said: "There is still no sign of waking up. Shopkeeper Liu has already been very considerate when he came to visit the master. Why did he bring something over again?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "I'm just dropping by. The third elder asked me to deliver the things. There are some silver and supplements. The third elder means that the family needs to make a living, and the money is essential."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Mrs. Qi said.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law needs money at home. Since the third elder has already sent it, you can just keep it." Shopkeeper Liu said.
"Then thank the third elder for me. The third elder is really a good person. By the way, shopkeeper Liu, please sit down and have a cup of tea." Mrs. Qi said.
"No, I have to go to Shopkeeper Li's house, so I won't disturb you." Shopkeeper Liu said.
"Something happened to Shopkeeper Li too?" Mrs. Qi asked.
"Shopkeeper Li... he can't see," said shopkeeper Liu.
"What? Shopkeeper Li is blind?" Mrs. Qi asked in surprise.
Shopkeeper Liu had planned to leave, but when he heard Mrs. Qi being so surprised, he turned around and nodded and said, "Yes, something happened to Shopkeeper Li. He was preparing to go to the Elder's Mansion as usual, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his eyes, everything happened.
Out of sight."
"How could this happen? Why did something happen to all of you?" Mrs. Qi asked.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't know how to answer Mrs. Qi, so he simply said: "Mrs. Qi, take care of Brother Qi, I'm going to visit Shopkeeper Li."
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper Liu. Thank you to the third elder for our master." Mrs. Qi said.
Shopkeeper Liu nodded and left Qi's house and got into the carriage, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. After he asked the coachman to take him to Li's house, he closed his eyes to rest.
After arriving at Li's house, shopkeeper Liu pretended to be sad and patted the door. This time, Mrs. Li opened the door herself.
"It turns out that it's shopkeeper Liu who is interested," Mrs. Li said.
Mrs. Li invited Shopkeeper Liu to the front hall. Shopkeeper Liu said, "Brother Li, his eyes are feeling better?"
Mrs. Li sighed and said choked: "You have known him for many years, so you should know his temper. When I wasn't paying attention, I went to the yard to relax. Although I couldn't see, I couldn't help anyone because I couldn't see.
