5412--Andrew Baring Fangs
Li Chengji turned his eyes to Li Chengwu.
Li Chengwu never disappoints him every time.
This time, of course, there will be no exception.
Sure enough, Li Chengwu drank up the tea in one gulp, stood up and said: "This bird-like tea is bland and tasteless, I'm tired of drinking it!"
He stretched out his big futon-like hands and wiped away some water stains running down his mouth. Then he put his palms on the table and said loudly: "Brother, that boy Li Qingyuan is also your baby. It's unreasonable for you to send him to the north.
Besides, that guy is very capable, it would be a waste to keep him in the north."
Li Chengji's eyes widened even more, this...
Li Chengwu actually said Li Qingyuan was good?
"Chengwu, what's the matter with you? Others don't know about that boy Li Qingyuan, don't you know it too? It was you who went to the brothel to capture him last time," Li Chengji said.
"The prodigal son returns with gold. That boy Li Qingyuan has been reborn. He is different from before. He is now a promising young man." Li Chengwu praised him repeatedly.
"Promising young man?" Li Chengji felt that there was a problem. He was a tycoon. For actions beyond his control, he immediately sensed that there was a conspiracy behind it. Who was responsible for it was unknown, but
As long as you continue, that person will definitely surface.
He didn't think it was Li Qingyuan, and he knew better than anyone what Li Qingyuan looked like. He must be a powerful person, or one of the six elders, but he didn't look like anyone.
Who could it be?
While he was thinking about it, Li Chengya said: "Li Qingyuan is the most outstanding person of the Qing generation. There is no doubt about this. Who among you disagrees?"
Li Chengya asked about the other five elders.
What is certain is that Li Chengya, Li Chengqi and Li Chengwu who just spoke supported Li Chengya's words.
But in addition to these three, there are three elders, namely Li Chengxiang, Li Chengzhu, and Li Chenglin.
Li Chengxiang is older, probably in his early sixties, with a gray beard. He looks like he is falling asleep every time he has a meeting, and this time is no exception. He yawns and rubs his eyes.
And Li Chengzhu is a middle-aged man with excellent physique. He likes to hunt on horseback the most. During meetings, he does not wear elder clothes, but wears hunter clothes with leggings. When the meeting is over, he will go to the hunting ground as soon as possible.
Li Chenglin is in his forties, full of bookishness. He once won the imperial examination, but gave up the Jinshi examination and came back to take care of the Li family's property. However, he likes reading, especially collecting various ancient scrolls, and usually attends meetings while doing so.
Reading while holding a book is a common thing.
"Of course Li Qingyuan is the best." Li Chengqi was the first to respond.
"Who among the young generation can compare to Li Qingyuan? No one." Li Chengwu said in a rough voice.
Now that all three have expressed their opinions, they are just waiting for the other three to speak.
"Li Qingyuan, I know that he likes reading and is a good boy." Li Chenglin put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and said with a sincere face.
What kind of good boy is he? Drinking, playing in brothels, gambling, fighting, eating king's meals... Such a person would be a good boy? He also likes to read books? He likes to burn books, which is pretty much it.
Li Chengji's mind was buzzing. At this moment, he was indeed shocked by Li Chenglin's words.
"Ahem, let me tell you something about Li Qingyuan. I don't know anything else, but when it comes to respecting the elderly, he has no choice. This kid is purely filial." Li Chengxiang rubbed his eyes and sighed while speaking.
.
"I also think Li Qingyuan is good. His archery skills are very accurate, which suits me." Li Chengzhu took off the hunting knife in his hand and wiped the blade carefully with a piece of cloth.
The six elders all thought Li Qingyuan was good!
This is an unprecedented thing. Among them, Li Chengqi, Li Chengwu and Li Chengzhu are Li Chengji's core supporters. Every time the elders meet, they 100% support Li Chengji, but this time they actually chose to speak for Li Qingyuan.
This situation made Li Chengji suddenly feel a strong sense of crisis!
The mastermind behind the scenes can persuade all the elders. Who has such great ability and power?
"What is going on with you? We are now a Presbyterian Church. I don't believe you don't know what kind of person Li Qingyuan is. What exactly do you want to do? Don't hide it, tell us and let's discuss it carefully."
Li Chengji decided to use the authority of the family head to ask the six elders to tell the whole story. Only when he knew what the mastermind behind the scenes was doing could he come up with corresponding strategies.
"Brother, I have a suggestion. You see that your son Li Qingyuan is so outstanding and capable. Why don't you pass on the position of head of the family to him? You can become an honorary elder and take good care of yourself. In the future, eldest brother will have more time to spend with your brothers.
Let’s drink and have fun.” Li Chengwu said seriously.
"I think it's okay. The head of the family is really tired. Look at how much he has contributed to the Li family over the years. It's time to take care of himself. With this disease, there's absolutely no point in continuing to work."
Li Chengya agreed. She nodded and said: "Think about it, the head of the family has such an outstanding second son. Sooner or later, the position of the head of the family will be passed on to him. It is better to pass it on late than early. Why are you waiting? It's not too late.
.”
"You want to take my seat?" Li Chengji's face darkened.
He knew the truth, but it was so incredible and difficult to understand.
However, anything that seems incomprehensible can actually be explained.
"Who among you wants this position? Just say it directly and don't use my son Li Qingyuan as a shield." Li Chengji said.
"Brother, you are thinking of making trouble. We are not trying to take away your position, and no one is qualified to be the head of the family. We are talking about your son Li Qingyuan..."
"Shut up, Li Chengwu. I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Have I ever treated you badly in these years? How did I disappoint you?"
Before Li Chengwu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chengji.
He slammed the table hard and shouted.
He can forgive others' betrayal, but Li Chengwu's betrayal... he cannot forgive.
"Brother, I am telling the truth. Li Qingyuan is the strongest in this generation. I am doing this for your own good and for the good of the Li family. Only when he becomes the head of the family will we have a way to survive. Otherwise, we will only die." Li Chengwu
At this point, he became a little emotional. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Brother, I just want you to live well."
"What do you think?" Li Chengji didn't answer, but looked around.
"Okay, very good, the position of head of the family will be given to Li Qingyuan."
Li Chengji slapped the table with his palm, stood up, tossed his sleeves and robe, and walked outside.
