Xuecheng, Li's Mansion.

The current Li family is the real head of the family, Li Wangjiang, Li Yuanshu's father. There is certainly a reason why Li Wangjiang can become the head of the Li family, rather than the third brother who served as a high-ranking official in the court.

First of all, Li Wangjiang had his own fame and honor, and was a member of the gentry. In Lu State, there were gentry with fame and honor, who did not worship officials when they saw them, and had the privilege of reducing tax exemption, etc. This was his advantage.

Li Wangjiang was also the legitimate son of the Li family of the previous generation. In addition, after inheriting all the rights of the previous generation of Li's family, he not only performed better than the previous generation in terms of networking, but also managed the entire family in an orderly manner.

In the past nine years, Li Wangjiang served as the head of the family. In the past nine years, both the famous people from the Li family, whether they are children or scholars, were 20% more than before his leading position.

In terms of business, the Li family also made more money than before.

He did not become an official, but his connections were really spread all over Xuecheng. Outside Xuecheng, there were Li Wangjiang's classmates, teachers, etc., and there were many officials who were officials and had close contacts with each other. His third brother was able to become officials in the court and in the Qingguiya, and Li Wangjiang used his connections to help.

Over the years, Li Wangjiang has become more and more prestige in the entire Li Mansion, and almost everyone is extremely satisfied with his family head.

At this moment, Li Wangjiang is creating in the study. His specialty is calligraphy. For scholars, being able to have a good handwriting is something worthy of boasting about. Being a calligrapher is something that countless people dream of.

Haven’t you seen that from ancient times to the present, the fame of some top calligraphers is even greater than that of many high-ranking officials and nobles? It is even more sensational than that of a generation of emperors?

Li Wangjiang has loved calligraphy since he was a child and wrote it well. He is not as good as the historical treasures such as Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. In contemporary times, there are many great calligraphy masters in Tianyuxing countries that can beat him. But how to say it, in the small country of Lu, Li Wangjiang's calligraphy is somewhat famous.

There are also many people who are proud of Li Wangjiang's calligraphy, which is a powerful tool for him to get closer to his masters of the same year.

Everyone in the Li family knows that once the master starts creating, he must not be disturbed.

But just as Li Wangjiang was trying to write a good word, the housekeeper broke into the study in a panic and panic. After being interrupted, Li Wangjiang's hand shook, and a drop of ink suddenly fell and a piece of paper was stained. He was so angry...

Before Li Wangjiang got angry, the housekeeper collapsed and said, "Master, someone broke into the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiqian, the head of the Xu family, rushed in angrily, "Li Wangjiang, you old man, my son died tragically. Your Li family actually stopped me from chasing the murderer. So, was my son killed by your Li family?"

"Even if you, Li Wangjiang, have famous calligraphy throughout the country, you still have many close friends everywhere. Even if you make a lawsuit in front of the imperial court, I will still share your life and death with you!"

Xu Jiqian is the biological father of the Seventh Young Master who died tragically.

Xu Jiqian knew that his son was a bastard, and he was not a good person, but how could he say that the legitimate son was still the youngest son. Not only Xu Jiqian loved him well, but his wife also regarded his younger son as a treasure.

Suddenly, this baby disappeared and was assassinated in the street?

Not long ago, I saw the body of the youngest son who died with his eyes closed. Xu Jiqian was hit on the spot and almost fainted. He ordered that he must investigate strictly and not rush to kill the murderer if he caught him. He wanted to take him back to the Xu Mansion and let him do his anger himself...

As a result, news came back soon outside, and the constables who led the team to the vicinity of Wang Han's house to search for the murderer and collect clues were actually targeted by another group of constables, just staring at them and not letting them investigate.

Well, the other team of constables did not allow them to investigate the case, but they did not allow them to frame innocent people casually. Of course, Jiang Wuye and others would not say these words directly, and the dirty water was poured on the pot.

Xu Jiqian was almost furious when he heard this. He realized that it was from the Li family and rushed to the Li family directly.

With Mr. Xu's angrily scolded, Li Wangjiang was confused. After a few breaths, he couldn't help but hold the beautiful beard on his forehead and said, "Brother Xu misunderstood. How could my Li family attack Brother Xu's beloved son? He didn't stop your mansion from chasing the murderer..."

As soon as he said this, he found that his butler looked embarrassed.

Li Wangjiang was furious, "What the hell is going on? Say!"

The housekeeper then whispered awkwardly, "Master, it's the Third Young Master."

Speaking of this, he hurriedly explained to Xu Jiqian, "Master Xu, my third young master is not stopping the mansion from chasing the murderer. He just sent people to the vicinity of the Wang family to watch, just to prevent some innocent people from being framed by the constable who are doing business."

Xu Jiqian laughed anxiously, "The third brother of the Li family? Haha, that's the successor of your next generation in Li's family. Did you actually say I misunderstood?"

Li Yuanshu can become the future successor and is trained by Li Wangjiang as the next generation of family heads, and he also has his own abilities. For example, Li Yuanshu is only 29 years old and is already a juren.

Li Yuanshu's master was a second-rank senior official in the court and a minister!

Even though Li Yuanshu has not entered the officialdom, with his relationship with the attendant and his years of experience, he may one day become a new political star. Even Li Yuanshu's second brother, who is currently a county magistrate in another place, may not have a better future than him.

In addition, Li Yuanshu is very famous in the painting world.

They were father and son, the father was a calligrapher and the son was a painter. Moreover, Li Yuanshu's talent in painting was obviously stronger than Li Wangjiang's calligraphy. He was only 29 years old and was already famous in a state.

The State of Lu is a small country, three large islands are three states, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized archipelagos are the fourth state, and there are only four states in the State of Lu.

On Yunzhou Island where Xuecheng is located, some of the governors and governors' ladies will argue over Li Yuanshu's masterpiece. This is Li Yuanshu's advantage.

Even if he could not become a historical master of Yan Liben and Gu Kaizhi, he would be famous throughout the ages, as long as he could sensation in a small country in Lu... it would be Li Yuanshu's greatest capital. With his outstanding painting ability, other legitimate sons of the Li family would not pose any threat to Li Yuanshu.

Accompanied by Xu Jiqian's anger, Li Wangjiang was also angry, "This rebellious son!"

After scolding him angrily, he also laughed anxiously, "Brother Xu, don't bother me, I will let the rebel come over immediately and apologize to Brother Xu. I am indeed unaware of this, but I promise..."

Before he could say his promise, the housekeeper interrupted with a wry smile, "Master, the young master sent someone to promote this matter to the city and everyone knows that Xuecheng was promoted. He said that the Li family came forward just to keep the last justice for the innocent people. At present, the people in the city are grateful for the kindness of our family."

Needless to say more, the Li Mansion is a famous family in Xuecheng. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and is usually very important to fame. Once the people in the city know it, they are grateful. You suddenly interrupted and don’t keep your word? That would definitely be a major blow to the fame of the Li Mansion.

This is Li Yuanshu's method. He knew that once his father learned about the situation, it would be easy to take back the various orders he issued, but after forming public opinion, the surging public opinion would make Li Wangjiang retreat.

Li Wangjiang's expression is so exciting.

There are some things that needless to be clear. Don’t he know that when something big happens, there will be a yamen runner who will act and blackmail the common people? Li Wangjiang knows, and Xu Jiqian knows, but everyone just doesn’t care.
