Chapter 21: Late Night Restaurant
Late at night, the hour was approaching.
In Yangcheng, there is still a restaurant still open.
In the restaurant, three filial sons dressed in linen and filial piety are gobbling up delicious dishes. These three filial sons are the deputy gang leaders of the Iron Knife Society who wore linen and filial piety to the Li family's wife and the third young master to mourn.
The three of them were eating, and the second elder suddenly said, "Deputy Gang... Gang leader, there is a discussion in the gang this morning. Let's not participate, there's no problem, right?" his voice was full of anxiety, he was a timid and fearful person, and his greatest wish in his life was to pass on the position of these two elders, and he also swayed left and right between the gang leader and the deputy gang leader on weekdays.
Li Dian, the deputy gang leader, wiped the oil stains on his hands, and said slowly: "I said, I'm not afraid of the leader, what are you afraid of? Madam and the third young master died of a sudden serious illness, it is a first-class event, we will serve the Li family, and we should go to mourn in person. He shook his head and tail, as if he was a reader of poetry and books for a long time.
"Are you going to mourn?" Wearing linen and filial piety, crying worse than the eldest young master and the second young master who died of their own mother. When your own mother died, you didn't cry so badly. The second elder was guilty in his heart, but thinking about it, he himself was crying louder than Li Dian at that time, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Besides," Li Dian's voice suddenly turned high, "There is such a big thing, he Li Xin is still thinking about deliberations, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the main family at all, so what kind of helper should he be." I heard that his wife also had a sudden illness last night and died. If you want me to say, it must be that lowly maid who contracted some infectious disease, and passed it on to the lady and the third young master. This time, I watched what happened to the bastard of the maidservant girl. I can't say, it's almost time to remove the sub-word of my gang leader. ”
In his words, he was full of disdain for the gang leader Li Xin, and the imperative for the gang leader.
Such a big scandal happened in the Li family, and the son ate the mother's flesh, causing the mother to be disfigured and commit suicide. Li Pingsheng thought that he naturally suppressed the turmoil of this matter, and the maids and family members who were present at the time were warned not to leak the news, and even Li Xin, who left early, had family members who ran to warn him.
"High, the helper is really high. After learning the news, I didn't sleep all night, so today I summoned the two of us to rush to Li's house and began to help arrange the funeral. lest the head of the family and the two young masters have to experience the pain of the death of their loved ones, and also have to handle these trivial matters. The head of the family looked deeply at the eyes of the helper at that time, and he must have been moved by the helper's pale face, and the successor of the Iron Knife Club was just around the corner. The Great Elder on the side also touted hard.
"Hahaha······" Hearing this, Li Dian couldn't help but laugh proudly. The second elder saw that the eldest elder had taken the opportunity to curry favor with the new gang leader in the future, and in addition to secretly hating it in his heart, he was also unwilling to lag behind, and vigorously praised Li Dian.
Under the praise of the two, Li Dian laughed constantly, as if he had seen himself ascend to the throne of the helper, and Li Xin's unsightly little cub also knelt in front of him.
"Hahahaha······" A louder laugh than Li Dian came, the voice was full of anger, completely overshadowing Li Dian's laughter, and there was also the sound of some fists smashing the table in the middle, it seemed that he couldn't control his laughter and smashed the table hard.
Li Dian's smug mood was interrupted, and he turned his head around unhappily to look around for someone who was in the way of his mood.
It's nearly midnight, and the ordinary guests have already returned home, and the fun-seeking sons and buddies will not run to the restaurant to have fun. Li Dian looked around, and the surrounding guest seats were empty. The laughter was still endless, Li Dian followed the sound and saw a figure dressed as a shopkeeper lying on the counter next to the usual shopkeeper, already laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
"The little bunny died. Seeing this, the second elder, who felt that he had lost a little bit of points before, raised his foot and wanted to rush over to teach the shopkeeper who had disturbed the interest of the future helper and redeem the previous performance of losing points.
"Wait a minute······" Li Dian grabbed the second elder who was eager to behave, although he was a little arrogant, he was not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been sent by Li Pingsheng to the Iron Sword Society to clamp down on Li Xin, the gang leader. Ordinary Xiao Er, nothing else, the eyesight is full, the three of them usually go to the street to act as a prestige, in the eyes of these little people, they are more familiar than the Li family's Zhang family. If this little second dares to disturb him, he must be afraid.
When the Great Elder and the Second Elder saw Li Dian like this, they also put away their thoughts on the lesson, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Your Excellency, who is it, what are you doing?" Li Dian said very cautiously.
The laughter of the shopkeeper gradually subsided, and he raised his head, and under the little dirty hat, there was the face of a beautiful fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, it was Qingyu.
Qing Yu looked at the three of them, and felt that his stomach was about to start twitching when he was about to laugh just now. These three people don't have the brainless recklessness that they should have, but they are very attentive, and their mentality is almost comparable to themselves.
"It's not expensive, it's just funny. I saw a few clowns, who had already stepped into the ghost gate and didn't know it, and they were still proud. What's even funnier is that they took the initiative to step into this ghost door. Qing Yu said with a smile.
"What do you mean? Li Dian, the deputy gang leader of the Iron Sword Society, is also a member of the Li family, the four major families in Yangcheng, and you need to think twice before doing anything. Feeling that the other party was not good, Li Dian immediately raised the backer first.
"Isn't the Iron Knife going to help the master······" Li Dian's old face was a little hot.
"Do you know that your behavior today has touched Li Pingsheng's brows, and the disaster will not be long in coming. ”
Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Qing Yu continued: "Yesterday afternoon, Li Qiuyan, the third young master of the Li family, had a strange poison in his body, and he went crazy, like a ghoul, devouring and biting human flesh, biting a piece of flesh on his mother's face, causing her to be disfigured. Last night, Li Qiuyan was already dead, and his mother couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide by hanging herself. Li Pingsheng didn't have time to cover up such ugly things, and the three of you still made a big show and lifted the lid that had already been covered. We don't know what catastrophe is coming. ”
Li Dian was covered in cold sweat, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face after staying up all night. A trembling big hand grabbed his shoulder, Li Dian turned around, and saw the same face as the defeated Great Elder and Second Elder, their eyes were full of despair.
Li Dian smiled miserably, he really killed himself······
No, no, Li Dian suddenly looked uplifted, and laughed happily: "I was almost scared by you." The ugly things of the Li family are not even clear to me, the Li family, who has many eyes and ears in the family. I don't believe you're an outsider, and you're better informed than me.
Unless... You are the one who poisoned and murdered the Third Young Master. ”
"Outsiders are not necessarily more informed than the people of the Li family. However, you are right, the person who drugged Li Qiuyan was me. Qing Yu said with a smile, his eyes reflecting a shadow that gradually became larger.
