Bai Ling felt that something was fishy, and that Xiaomei's disappearance was not just a simple matter of her leaving without saying goodbye. Thinking of this, Bai Ling was about to ask everyone to arrange more people to search, but before he could go out, he saw a note left on the crack of the door.
The note had obviously been rolled on the ground for a long time, and there were clear footprints on it. Bai Ling leaned over to pick it up, held two corners and opened it. There was a line of small words on it: Lu'an Inn, I have news about your father, come alone.
.
Sure enough, Li Xiaomei was called out after someone spread the news.
It's just that this Lu'an Inn is on the outskirts of the city. It's a small inn for people on the road to rest. What did the other party ask Li Xiaomei to do there...
Bai Ling felt more and more uneasy, so he took the note out of Hairpin Journal, hired a carriage and headed all the way towards Lu'an Inn.
As soon as Bai Ling's carriage moved away, the little monk who had been hiding near the door of Hairpin Hua Ji showed his head, turned around and ran towards Li Mansion.
At this moment, inside the Li Mansion.
Li De was sitting in the main hall, squinting his eyes and looking at Mr. Li Li Cheng who was being escorted to kneel on the ground in front of him, with a look of pride on his face.
"Li Cheng, I think you haven't been in a good mood lately. I'm afraid the Li family can't handle it anymore. Why don't you just leave it to me and I'll take good care of it for you? How about that?"
Li De said and winked at the young monk on the side. The young monk understood and brought the agreement he had prepared in front of Li Cheng.
There are not many words in the agreement, but the meaning is clear at a glance: Li Cheng is seriously ill and his heirs are immoral, and the Li family will be handed over to Li De to take charge from now on.
"Oh, Li De, you harmed my daughter and took over my family property, and now you still want to be vindicated? Are you dreaming!" Li Cheng glared at Li De angrily and spat hard at him.
After Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu left, Mr. Li still played the role of being poisoned and under Li De's control.
He thought Li De didn't notice, but he was still too careless. He was discovered just now when he was delivering the message to the brothers outside.
Only then did he realize that Li De had known for a long time that the poison in his body had been cured, but he had been secretly monitoring him, waiting to pass on false news and kill all his brothers outside the house.
So Li Cheng was very angry at this moment. He was angry that Li De was treacherous, and he was angry that he was useless and had harmed his brothers.
"You're right. I just want to be honest. What can you do to me? Li Cheng, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your daughter who is on the run and is accused of being a murderer. She is a daughter.
My child is a wanted criminal again, tsk tsk, how can I live my life like this..."
When Li De saw Li Cheng like this, he was not angry. Instead, he stood up and strode towards him.
Today, he did not wear the clothes of a monk, but imitated the normal appearance of ordinary people, and dressed very elegantly and richly. When he said this, he had already arrived in front of Li Cheng.
"Li De, what do you mean? You can't find where Xiaomei is, you can't!" When Li Cheng heard Li De mention Xiaomei, panic suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Li Cheng knew that Li Xiaomei was with Bai Ling, and she would definitely protect her, but Li De was cunning and cunning, and he became less confident when he asked questions.
Li De looks so confident, has he already captured Xiaomei?
"Of course I know where Xiaomei is. Not only do I know, I also invited her to be a guest. As long as you sign this, I guarantee that she will survive. Otherwise, you can go find her in the lake on the outskirts of the city in a few days!"
"
"you……"
Li Cheng looked at Li De in front of him and felt heartbroken.
"Whether you want your daughter's life or the Li family's property, you have the final say!"
"Okay, let Xiaomei go, and I'll give you the Li family."
"That's right, brother, if you said you had been like this for a long time, why should you and my brothers hurt the harmony?" Seeing Li Cheng's agreement, Li De immediately changed his smile and leaned down to help Li Cheng get up.
But then, there were several muffled sounds of broken bones.
It was Li De who grabbed Li Cheng's arm and removed both of his arms. Although the arm was only dislocated, it was completely out of control. Li Cheng suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell towards the ground. He was also
Dizzy from the pain.
The young monk and the middle-aged monk Liao Wu standing nearby seemed to be used to this scene. They both lowered their heads and said nothing.
Li De looked at Li Cheng who was lying on the ground, hid the fake smile on his face, and then wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust.
"Take him down and keep him under strict supervision. Prepare the car. Liao Wu will go out with me."
"Yes, Master."
Liao Wu was ordered to go out and prepare the carriage. Then Li De took the carriage and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
At the same time, the housekeeper of the Li family was taken by the young monk to a drug store in the city, where he took some medicine to treat hypochondriasis and spread the word that Mr. Li had done something very evil because of his daughter Li Xiaomei.
He was so angry that he couldn't afford to fall ill. He became seriously ill and developed hypothetical symptoms.
"Is Mr. Li really so serious? Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look? The medical skills of the doctors in our medical clinic are still good..." When the shopkeeper of the medical clinic heard about Mr. Li, he felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but talk to the housekeeper.
suggested.
We all live in the same town. Mr. Li is usually kind and many people in the town have benefited from him. The manager of the medical clinic couldn't help but speak.
"Well, the master's illness is too serious, and the medicine is useless. Now, thanks to the master's brother coming back to take charge of the overall situation, the family is out of chaos..." The old housekeeper said seriously, and the man who was over fifty years old looked at it.
I'm about to shed tears.
Seeing that he was sad, the shopkeeper said a few words of relief.
The young monk on the side felt that the two of them were taking too much time, so he stepped forward to remind them, and then hurriedly took the housekeeper back to Li's Mansion.
These days, everything in the Li family is taken care of by Li De's people, and the housekeeper Dongsheng has been imprisoned for less than half a month. If he hadn't come out today to walk around with news, he might not have seen the light of day.
He shed tears just now, firstly for his master, and secondly for himself. Now he is afraid that the last bit of his value has been used up, and next he is afraid that he will be silenced...
Dongsheng was thinking all the way, his steps were very heavy.
"Why are you walking so slowly? Master asked us to get the medicine and go back quickly. I warn you not to play any tricks!" The chubby little monk bought a bunch of candied haws and ate it, not forgetting his disgusted anger.
Scolding the housekeeper next to me.
"Hey, I'm just older and walk slower. I don't dare to play tricks. Besides, after finally going out, I also want to eat something delicious. Little Master, I have some money here, why don't we go to the restaurant in front?
Go back after you are full?" Dongsheng said, taking out the money bag from his body and shaking it in front of the young monk.
