Chapter 126 Act Five: The Li Familys Strange Events
"She killed someone!"
Li Bin's words made Li Shiyao's heart sink.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her and not let her go out? Why did something happen?"
"Sister, we keep an eye on her. My brothers and I all took turns to keep vigil at night, but three days ago, a maid died."
"How did she kill someone?" Li Shiyao asked anxiously.
Although, with the power of their Li family, killing a maid is nothing.
But it never sounds good if it gets spread out.
No one likes to deal with a murderous family.
"I don't know how I killed someone, but it was late at night. That night, I was keeping vigil, playing Pai Gow with some guards, and kept listening to sister Li Shirou chanting Buddha's prayers. Suddenly there was no sound. Then I was in the toilet next to the bamboo forest in the backyard, listening.
Someone yelled!"
"After we rushed over, we saw that Hong'er was dead. She died miserably. There was a big wound on her neck and all the blood on her body was gone."
Li Shiyao clutched her fist tightly, "What was Shirou doing at that time?"
"In the room, there was blood on the floor and on her body, so we concluded that she was the one who killed her."
Li Bin frowned: "After that, we didn't let the servants talk nonsense. We just said that Hong'er fell to death by herself. But recently, the news has spread among the servants. Now my mother and the others are very scared, my father is sick again, and my sister
If you don’t come back, we don’t know what to do?”
"Don't worry, I'm back. Let's bring the things in first. There are five boxes of silver in the carriage and move them into the treasure house."
"OK."
Just after he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a trembling body on crutches was helped over.
"Shiyao, you are back, Shiyao!"
"father!"
The person who came was none other than Li Changgui, the head of the Li family.
The Li family has been in business for several generations, and in the hands of Li Changgui, it reached its peak.
Unfortunately, Li Changgui has become increasingly weak in recent years.
Especially after Li Shirou kept chanting Buddha's name, she was even more hit.
Now the whole business is handed over to Li Shiyao and Li Meng.
Li Meng is not very capable, so he can only help Li Shiyao.
"How was it on the road?" Li Changgui asked quickly: "Are you and Li Meng okay? How are the personnel?"
"It's okay, we just lost some guards." Li Shiyao said briefly: "After that, we went to Yunshan Temple and encountered something. The Taoist priests there were all dead. If it weren't for Brother Su Anlin, we might have been in danger.
"
Li Shiyao immediately introduced Su Anlin.
Li Changgui's eyes were dim, and only then did he notice Su Anlin.
As soon as he saw it, his old and dim eyes lit up.
What a strong young man.
Thinking back to those days, didn’t you just want to become so strong when you were young?
It's a pity that I don't have enough talent. After reaching the fifth level of physical training, I can't make any progress even by taking drugs, so I can only do business.
In a blink of an eye, I realize how old I am.
Li Shiyao said something aside. When the Black Sword Villa was mentioned, Li Changgui quickly waved his hand to signal not to say more.
Then, he squeezed out a soft smile and cupped his fist towards Su Anlin:
"Su Zhuangshi saved us. I am really grateful. I must stay for a few more days. If you are interested, you can be a guest of my Li family. Our Li family will definitely treat Su Zhuangshi as one of our own family members and will not treat him unfairly."
"Dad, I have already made an agreement with Su Anlin." Li Shiyao nodded slightly towards him.
Su Anlin clasped his fists: "Yes, Miss Li has already told me that she will stay here for a while."
"good."
Li Changgui nodded happily.
During this period, the Li family was not at peace.
Li Shirou was possessed by evil spirits and kept chanting Buddha's name.
In business, his competitors saw that he was seriously ill and blocked him at every turn, trying to add insult to injury.
Three days ago, the maid at home died tragically, causing panic.
It’s difficult!
Now, with experts like Su Anlin joining the team, they can undoubtedly protect the Li family.
"Quickly, set off the firecrackers you prepared to welcome the convoy's triumphant return."
Li Changgui immediately ordered: "By the way, send out the prepared invitations. I will hold a banquet for Shi Yao and Xiao Meng the day after tomorrow."
Li Shiyao said: "Dad, there is no need to mobilize troops and people like this, right?"
"I want it, but you don't know it. After you left recently, because of the delay for a few days, people in the city said that something happened to you, and a group of people gloated about it! Now that you are back, I just want to show them that you are okay.
, good."
"Then follow dad's orders."
A group of people entered the compound.
Li Meng suddenly said: "Dad, let me go see sister Shirou first."
Li Changgui frowned: "Go later, she's resting, but you don't have to worry. In the past few days, I've posted a reward and asked some folk to come to deal with this matter. Several people have already contacted me, and they will all come to the door tomorrow."
"Oh? Strange folk, do they have a way?"
"Of course, there is a saying that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. I believe there must be someone who has a way. When the matter is resolved tomorrow, I will hold a big banquet the day after tomorrow! I want to let them see that you are back, and the matter of Shirou being possessed by evil spirits will also be solved.
Well, who dares to say that our Li family is haunted!"
Li Meng nodded: "Dad is right, dad, then I will go practice martial arts."
"Are you going to practice martial arts?"
Li Changgui seemed to have heard something extraordinary and his eyes widened.
"Yes, dad, I want to practice martial arts. This time I go out, I have already thought about it. Although my talent is average, I have to work hard no matter what, so that I will have the ability to deal with things in the future. More importantly...
"
Li Meng looked at Su Anlin's strong muscles, his eyes shining brightly.
"I want to become as strong as Brother Su."
Su Anlin had goosebumps all over her body.
This is attracting people of the same sex...
"Hahaha." Li Changgui was very happy: "Okay, Xiao Meng, then you go to the martial arts training ground. I will go back and talk to guard Zhao Ming and ask him to teach you the Qiufeng Falling Leaf Knife. You must learn it carefully this time, don't
Just like last time, I gave up halfway."
"Don't worry, Dad."
Li Changgui looked at Su Anlin: "Master Su, please keep an eye on this kid. If he refuses to practice martial arts, you can do whatever you want."
"Uh..." Su Anlin didn't expect Li Changgui to say this.
"I understand, Mr. Li."
The two soon arrived at the Li family's martial arts training ground.
The area is quite large, as big as a basketball court.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are many weapon racks placed around, filled with various weapons.
There are more than a dozen people in fancy clothes practicing martial arts. These people are thin and fat and have different martial arts skills.
Su Anlin glanced over and found that the health bars of these dozen people were all above 100.
It seems that these dozen people are the elite of the Li family.
They don't need to work usually, and they do it when they have something to do.
As a retainer, that's it. You don't have much to do on weekdays, but when you encounter problems, you need the retainer to come forward and solve them.
"Brother Su, this is our martial arts training ground." Li Meng introduced and said softly:
"The people here are all our disciples, and the ones with the lowest strength are all at the 7th level of physical training! The most powerful one is Master Zhao Ming. His Qiufeng Falling Leaf Knife is recognized as being fast, and his strength reaches the 8th level of physical training!"
"However, I heard from my sister that with Master Zhao Ming's strength, even if he is at the ninth level of ordinary body training, he is still capable of fighting."
Su Anlin nodded: "Why didn't he come with you this time?"
"Hey, there are a lot of things going on at home recently. Master Zhao Ming is running another route, which is more dangerous."
Li Meng sighed: "By the way, this is the sign I just got for you."
He handed over a wooden sign.
It says: A.
"Our servants, guards, and doormen are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D."
"Ding is an ordinary servant, a handyman, C is a housekeeper, B is a bodyguard above the third level, and A is a retainer, the most valued."
"With this wooden sign, your status in our family is equivalent to that of our whole family."
Li Meng said with a smile.
In fact, this is also a tactic used by the Li family to win over.
It gives people a sense of status and satisfies others' psychology.
In fact, wooden signs have no special function, but they will be respected.
At this time, some diners noticed Li Meng.
"Mr. Meng is back."
A group of people came over, and someone noticed the first-class wooden sign in Su Anlin's hand and raised an eyebrow.
You know, those who can get a first-class wooden plaque will have much higher martial arts training resources and monthly money in the future.
In the entire Li family, only three people have first-class wooden plaques.
They have so many diners here, and most of them are only second-class.
"Mr. Meng, who is this brother? He was given a first-class wooden card at a young age. His strength seems to be quite high." A man with dark skin and two scars on his face spoke directly.
His name is Xu Laosan, and he has worked hard in the Li family for more than ten years.
He is the oldest person here.
Even so, he didn't get a first-class wooden sign, so he was naturally a little jealous.
Li Meng introduced Su Anlin and finally said: "Brother Su is very powerful. My sister and I encountered evil spirits this time. If it hadn't been for Brother Su, we would have been in trouble."
"It turns out he is a master in dealing with evil spirits."
Xu Laosan smiled and didn't take it seriously.
As we all know, a master who can deal with evil spirits is not necessarily a martial arts master.
Take the Taoist priests of Yunshan Temple for example. They are all good at subjugating demons, but if they have a conflict with others, they may not necessarily get a good outcome.
This is the difference between exercises.
Some exercises are used to deal with ghosts.
If used against people, the effect may not be as good as ordinary exercises.
Suddenly, some people thought that the reason why the Li family gave Su Anlin such good treatment was because Su Anlin might help solve Li Shirou's matter here.
"Brother Su, how is your current state?" Xu Laosan asked deliberately.
"In terms of realm..."
Su Anlin slowly released his inner energy.
The inner energy spreads on the body surface, and people close to him can quickly sense it.
"This force should be on the sixth level of body training."
There are older reviews.
To look at the realm of body training, you need to look at the degree of diffusion of internal energy on the body surface.
This is the most versatile, after all, no one can see how much Qi is in the body.
Therefore, Su Anlin has always felt that it is unfair to him to use this method to check his strength.
Because he has practiced the techniques to a very advanced level, the combat effectiveness he produces is much higher than those at the same level.
But I couldn't explain it, so I just let it go.
"It's the sixth level of body training."
Xu Laosan also said, and then he became happy: "Brother Su has protected the young master and the young lady all the way. He must be of extraordinary strength. I, Xu Laosan, am bold and want to ask Brother Su for advice and learn about martial arts. Please give me some advice."
