C19 Three poisonous leaves
Outside the Grass Hall, sixty-seven corpses were neatly displayed. Thirty of them had been killed, seventeen had been stabbed to death by Li Ke, and twenty had died in the free-for-all.
Huai Nan's army was confirming the corpses one by one.
The first three bodies of the thieves that kidnapped Liu Yan were found. Their heads were killed by Li Ke, and the other two were hacked to death by the guards.
Since the three thieves could not be found, and the keepsake was clearly tracking down their origins, the clues were all gone.
Liu Wenyi was extremely dissatisfied with Li Ke, but Li Ke said, "This is my home." Blocked back. Li Ke was killing people in his own yard, and those people that came uninvited all had the intention to kill. Even if they were killed by Li Ke, they shouldn't have any complaints. Liu Wenyi originally wanted to search the entire Li Family and find the Spirit Grass that the Li Family had secretly stored. However, Liu Zhengjun was watching by the side, so Liu Wenyi didn't dare to act recklessly.
Huai Nan Palace's soldiers only cleaned up the Li Family's courtyard and did not search the entire house. Moreover, no one dared to enter Li Chen's prescription in the rear courtyard.
Liu Wenyi took the small box and the bow box that Li Ke threw out, and placed three leaves in the small box. Looking at the leaves, they looked somewhat similar to the Psychic Grass, Liu Wenyi thought that he had succeeded and wanted to eat them directly to prevent Li Ke from asking for them back.
However, Liu Wenyi still recognized him. He went to look for the doctor. Hearing the doctor's words, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The old man said, "This is not a Spirit Grass, but a leaf from a Wild Heavenly Haze. There is a huge poison like the Free and Unrestrained Powder and Corpse Poison on it. If you eat it, you will lose all your martial arts."
"What a vicious brat."
Liu Wenyi cursed loudly and left angrily.
The two boxes were brought back. Under everyone's gazes, Li Ke carefully put away the three leaves as if they were a rare treasure.
Could it really be Psychic Grass?
Many people looked at the box in Li Ke's hands with greedy eyes.
Only a few people knew that this was a pit, and whoever got in would get in.
When Li Chen and Li Bai rushed back, the scene had almost been dealt with. The intentional delay of the notification and the large scale pre-prepared search made it natural for the two of them to be late.
This also let the Li Family members understand one thing. The Liu Family still had the majority of ingrate.
He first gave her a candy, then viciously hit her with a stick. Although the Liu family wasn't necessarily all bad, the majority of them still had evil intentions.
Liu Song also arrived late. He was worried about what had happened in the Li family and invited them to stay at the Liu family residence.
Li Chen said so.
Leaving behind Huai Nan Palace's army and the Liu Family's guards, Li Ke and his family moved into Huai Nan Palace's Liu Family guest courtyard. The Liu family was the number one family in Huai Nan, with three thousand hanger-ons and many guests. Li Chen was the Guardian of Huai Nan Palace, so naturally, he lived in the best courtyard.
As for the Grass Hall, let the people who care to search it do so!
The Lee family had brought nothing with them, and by the time they had settled down in their new homes, it was already late at night.
Li Ke took off his blood-stained clothes and changed into a clean and refreshing green robe. He wore a white cloth scarf, and a sword hung from his waist, giving him an extra touch of gentleness.
It was hard to imagine Li Ke killing forty-six people in the day at such a young age, including three ninth level experts.
Liu Zhengjun accompanied Li Ke back after dinner. After the outsiders had left, Li Ke told his family, "Just wait and see!" "They will definitely dig up Grass Hall. I wonder who will find my hidden leaves."
Li Chen said, "Go back and play around with it!"
Li Bai's face was pale. Today, his wife had been kidnapped by someone, which made him extremely angry. However, there were still servants in the courtyard. He wasn't as straightforward as Li Ke, as he was very dissatisfied with the Liu family.
At this moment, in the Liu family's study room, the Liu family's patriarch, Liu Ye, was very unsatisfied. He said to his two sons, Liu Song and Liu Kuo, who were sitting in the book, "What is this? The Li Family just offered up a treasure to save the life of Little Thirteen, and yet there was someone openly committing murder in the Li Family. Who was the one behind this? "
Liu Ye looked at Liu Kuo. His attitude was very clear.
The names of those who had died in the Grass Hall Academy and could be identified had already been sent to Liu Ye. Some of the names were very sensitive. They were all secretly groomed by Liu Kuo. Even if Liu Kuo didn't tell them to do this, he still wouldn't take the initiative to join in. Liu Ye had yet to pursue the matter when Liu Wenyi ordered others to stop him from giving advice to Little Thirteen. Yet again, he had come up with such a trick. He really did not place Liu Ye in his eyes anymore.
"Tomorrow, we will send Xiao Qi to Jingyuan and train together with the newly recruited generals for a few years. If she were to come home all day, what future prospects would she have?"
Liu Ye chose a sentence and sent Liu Wenyi away.
Liu Kuo said with a bitter face, "Xiao Qi is still young, we can talk after a few years."
"Then it's settled."
Liu Ye made up his mind, so Liu Kuo did not pester him anymore. Liu Kuo had long since intentionally let Liu Wenyi hide away. It was just that there were some words that were very different from Liu Ye's choice to bring it up.
Now that Liu Ye was going to send Liu Wenyi, there was no need for Liu Kuo to think of any other excuse.
Liu Zhengjun ate the herb, the injury and the recovery, the future limitless. Liu Wenyi did not have the opportunity to fight with Liu Zhengjun for his money. Rather than staying and being suppressed, he might as well leave this place as soon as possible.
After Liu Ye chose to deal with Liu Wenyi, he looked towards Liu Song. Amongst those who had died in the Grass Hall, there were also a few of Liu Song's guards who had been assigned to protect Liu Zhengjun. These guards did not protect their young master, and yet they had gone with him to seize the treasure. However, Liu Song was a man of his word, and he was responsible for causing such a thing.
"Today, I have been protecting Little Seven's bodyguards. I will reward Lu Mi with one upgrade for half a year. As for those who were ignorant, if they died, so be it! The entire pension has been cancelled, so we have to let the people below know the consequences of not being loyal to our family. "
"Yes."
Liu Song nodded in agreement. He didn't feel that he should be soft-hearted towards those who didn't know anything.
Liu Ye chose to think for a moment and said, "As for the Li family members, after this matter, they will definitely grow grudges. It's not appropriate for it to be put out for use, so what do you think we should do?"
Liu Kuo said, "Take care of it!" It's not like we lack a few people to dress or eat. "
Liu Song said, "That's not right. We took the things of the Li family and sent them away just like that. What will the people outside think? The reason the clan was able to become the number one clan in Huizhou and not fall for a hundred years was because they had followed the ancestors' teachings: do not bully, do not fight, and do not get angry. In matters not related to the interests of the family, he should not do anything that would go against the reputation of the family. "I think it's better for the Li Family to lead the troops and for the Suspending Mountain Patrol Officer to be short of a military field officer, and for Li Chen to lead the troops."
"I disagree. How can we let outsiders lead the troops?" he thought. Liu Kuo immediately expressed his agreement and said, "Shoushan is one of Huai Nan's five great bazaars and one of Huai Nan's portals. How can we allow an outsider to lead troops?" Hearing Liu Kuo's words, Liu Ye chose not to move as he waited for Liu Song to continue.
Liu Song explained, "Standing guard at the gate of the mountain, with the two steps of the mountain guards and three battalions of soldiers holding the fort, we will arrange a place for Li Chen to guard the market and manage the security around the area. "If something really happens, with the third battalion of the Longevity Guard here, the Li Family won't be able to fight back. Besides, they won't be able to fight back."
Liu Kuo couldn't accept it and said, "How can you be sure that they won't do it?"
Liu Song said, "The Sentinel Expedition Battalion is not only responsible for the peace of the place, they are also the tax collectors of the mountain. If there is such a benefit, will the Li Family still suffer?"
Shoushan tax, management of Shoushan tax officials is definitely a fat.
As long as the Li family was greedy for one or two silver taels, they wouldn't complain to the clan anymore.
It wasn't that Liu Kuo didn't know the benefits. He just didn't want to give the Li family the benefits for free. Many of his subordinates had their eyes on the fat mountain.
With a stir from Liu Song, the cooked duck flew away.
Since Liu Song proposed to use the benefits to shut up the Li family members, Liu Kuo was unable to raise any other objections. However, Liu Kuo still did not give up and said, "Since it's settled like this, isn't it a bit sloppy? Let's discuss it a little more."
Liu Ye said, "There's no need to discuss. Let's do it that way!"
"Yes, Father."
Liu Kuo did not dare to earn any more money from Liu Ye's decision to type it out. He was secretly hating him in his heart.
It was already late at night. Liu Song rode on a palanquin across the complex courtyard and returned to his house. Huai Nan and the Liu Clan were established in Huizhou for two hundred years, and the size of their family was not any less than that of the Tian Family's Imperial Palace. They occupied half of the area of Huai Nan City. From the study Liu Ye had chosen to Liu Song's residence, the sedan chair would take at least an incense stick's time.
After two hundred years of accumulation, the Liu Family Residence was extremely luxurious. Every place had been meticulously arranged.
Liu Song's residence was a large, five-in-one courtyard. The extravagance within it was not something an ordinary person could imagine. Zhu Lan's main entrance was on the same scale as the Huai Nan Prefecture's yamen.
Liu Zhengjun had been waiting at the door. As soon as Liu Song got out of the sedan chair, Liu Zhengjun came out to welcome him.
"Father!" Liu Zhengjun threw himself into Liu Song's arms and burst into tears.
Liu Song quickly comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry. Who bullied my son? Tell your father that your father will help you teach them a lesson." Bringing Liu Zhengjun to the study room, listening to Liu Zhengjun's rambling, he recounted the events of the day. It was more specific than what Liu Song knew. Liu Zhengjun seemed to emphasize how dangerous it was and how scared she was to let Liu Song punish those bad guys.
"En!" Liu Song comforted her for a while before relaying her decision to Liu Ye.
Hearing that Liu Wenyi had been chased out of Huai Nan City, Liu Zhengjun's mood improved a lot. Hearing that the Lee family was moving to Longevity Mountain, he pouted in grievance. He carefully asked, "Can we have Li Ke stay in the city?"
"It's fine if he doesn't want to leave the city, but his lifespan isn't far away either. It's about the same distance as the river mouth."
"I don't like to climb mountains."
"Got it, got it."
Liu Song could only smile bitterly. He was only this big, yet he had already elbowed his way out.
On the second day, the appointment for Li Chen to go to Mausoleum of Books was not issued. Liu Ye chose to sleep for the night and actually changed his mind. It seemed like three Liu family members died last night.
As for how he died, everyone was well aware.
Li Ke put away the box of Heaven's Anesthesia leaves. It was unknown who had sneakily found it and brought it out from the Grass Hall.
As a core member of the Liu Clan, he could still think of finding a doctor to check if the leaf he found was real. The Liu Clan's distant disciples were not so careful. After finally obtaining the "Spirit Medicine" with great difficulty, they finally had a chance to become outstanding. How could they let the Liu Clan's people seize it? They had to eat it as soon as possible.
In the end, three people died.
Liu Ye had chosen to admire the Li family's ruthless arrangement.
For the Li Family to be able to do this, one could imagine that in the future, the Li Family would definitely rise to power and become a new clan within the borders of Huizhou.
With Li Chen's strength as a half-step King, it was enough to establish a small clan.
If Li Ke could grow up successfully, becoming an intermediate family might not be impossible.
Such a family must be tied to the Liu Family's chariot.
