The expression on Li Cheng's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect the county lord to have such a mind, which makes me ashamed."
"That's natural." Zhou Jie nodded, not humble at all, "The county lord is dedicated to the people, and it was the same in Jiangnan before. You must have heard of the county lord's charitable deeds in Jiangnan to raise funds to relieve the victims."
Seeing the expression on Zhou Jie's face, it was obviously from the heart and very sincere. After seeing this, the corner of Li Cheng's mouth twitched.
Who doesn't know that the incident in the south of the Yangtze River was planned by the eldest princess, just to wash Gu Ning's reputation, but fortunately, this person in front of him actually took it seriously, so he can still be the commander of the princess's bodyguard, it's ridiculous!
Li Cheng remained calm, said a few words to Zhou Jie, and left quickly.
He was riding a horse with an unpredictable expression.
When he arrived at Li's Mansion and saw the gorgeous carriage at the side door, he just came back to his senses, wrinkled his face, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother is back?"
"Madam has been waiting for you for a long time." The boy smiled sarcastically, "Let you go to the backyard to find her."
After hearing the words, Li Cheng turned around and wanted to leave.
But a woman came out from the side door, staring at him with a pair of hanging eyes quite similar to Li Cheng: "You don't even listen to me?"
Li Cheng showed impatience, but he didn't dare to show it completely in front of the woman, so he could only get off his horse: "Mother, these are commonplace things, you don't need to pay attention."
"I heard that the county head has gone to Lihua Village?" Mrs. Li's slanted eyes always showed a layer of meanness, "Don't you realize the seriousness of the matter?"
Upon hearing the word Lihuacun, Li Cheng quickly ran forward and took Mrs. Li's hand, and said in a low voice, "Mother, be careful that walls have ears."
"If you knew how to be prepared, you wouldn't do those things!" Mrs. Li sneered, and waved Li Cheng's hand away, "Follow me!"
Li Cheng had a bitter look on his face. He didn't want to deal with Mrs. Li at all, but Mrs. Li's eyes were like sharp knives, and she slashed at him fiercely. He dared not refuse, so he could only approach carefully.
A few clusters of flowers in the backyard were in splendid bloom, a stark contrast to the bleak autumn landscape.
Li Cheng's expression changed when he saw these clusters of flowers.
Mrs. Li squinted at him: "What? Now I know I'm afraid? How many times have I persuaded you? If you want to play with women, there are plenty of women in the flower house. Why do you always stare at those women?"
Although she was blaming Li Cheng, it was obvious that she was only blaming Li Cheng for the troubles he had caused her, not pity for those women who fell into Li Cheng's hands.
Li Cheng lowered his head, with a sneer of disdain on his honest and honest face.
The girls in those flower houses have been tempered and tempered, and they can't achieve the effect he wants at all. What he likes is the appearance of those folk girls struggling under him.
"Okay, now Changning County Lord has been taken to Lihua Village by that little girl Chu Shiling, what do you want to do?" Mrs. Li snorted coldly, "Could it be that you want to sit and wait for death?"
As soon as Li Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up: "Mother! I knew you must have a way!"
Mrs. Li glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "If you can promise me that you will never touch those folk girls again, I can clean up the tail of this matter for you. If you can't promise...then I will I can only deal with you, the scum of the family, with my own hands! So that the whole family will not be implicated by you!"
Hearing this, Li Cheng shrank his neck.
In Mrs. Li's indifferent eyes, he was very reluctant: "It's just a few commoner girls who can be dismissed with a little money. Why does my mother always hold on to her?"
"I won't let you go?" Mrs. Li sneered, "Did you forget those families? You didn't buy them off! Five years later, they still haven't been seen!"
"It's all the kid from the Zhang family!" Li Cheng gritted his teeth, "If it wasn't for this fish that slipped through the net, I wouldn't be so worried! He ran away, and even encouraged the two families to escape together!"
Thinking of this, murderous look appeared in Li Cheng's eyes.
"Zhang Yang, if I see him again, I will definitely tear him to pieces!"
Mrs. Li glanced at him and rolled her eyes upwards: "You have been looking for Zhang Yang for five years, but you still haven't found his whereabouts. You'd better pray that he died at the hands of those bandits."
Li Cheng approached Mrs. Li cautiously, and patted her shoulder attentively: "Mother, can't you help me talk to Princess Changle? Let her take care of Chu Shiling! If it wasn't for Chu Shiling, a dead woman So many things have happened, why should I worry about this?"
"Children are debts!" Mrs. Li waved his hand away angrily, with a stern smile on her well-maintained face, "Don't worry, Chu Shiling will be the daughter-in-law of our Li family in the future, and I will never Let her do things that will harm the Li family."
After hearing these words, Li Cheng was relieved.
He smiled and took out an exquisite hairpin from the armhole, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is the hairpin I found for you from the Emerald Pavilion, such a fine jadeite hairpin is perfect for you! "
Mrs. Li put the hairpin in the palm of her hand, and after looking it over carefully, she suddenly laughed, with a cold look in her eyes: "Li Cheng, you'd better be more obedient, I know that Changning county magistrate is beautiful , but you must not get involved with her! The eldest princess is not so easy to deal with!"
Hearing this, Li Cheng smiled honestly: "No matter how beautiful the county lord of Changning is, I will not take another look at her. What I want now is to marry Chu Shiling into the family earlier."
It was clearly a matter of marriage, but when Li Cheng said it, there was a chill in it.
Mrs. Li received the hairpin in her hand, stared at him a few times, and said: "Remember what you said today, when you marry Chu Shiling in, I will send you as many beauties as you want! But If you can't marry Chu Shiling, then you should think about what to do next!"
"Our Li family's mines have almost been dug." Mrs. Li patted Li Cheng's shoulder, full of threats, "As a child of the Li family, you should also consider for the family."
Li Cheng nodded his head, but as soon as Mrs. Li left, he wanted to sneak out of Li's residence.
Unexpectedly, there were servants waiting at the door, and when they saw Li Cheng appearing, they blocked the door one by one: "Second Young Master, Madam ordered you not to leave the house for a few days!"
"Why?" Li Cheng frowned coldly, rolled up his sleeves and started to fight against a few servants.
One of the servants was pale, but he still insisted on speaking: "Madam said, if you go out to make troubles again, she will break your third leg!"
As soon as the voice fell, the servant received a heavy punch on the face.
However, when facing Li Cheng who was furious, several servants still insisted on guarding the door, refusing to let Li Cheng leave the mansion for half a step.
Li Cheng's eyes were red with anger, but he couldn't believe what these servants said.
No one knows better than him what kind of heart his stepmother has. When it comes to viciousness, he is only one or two times her!
So, after a moment of silence, Li Cheng turned his head and walked towards the backyard.
At the same time, night gradually enveloped Lihua Village.
The men in black almost melted into the night. Their arrival did not attract the attention of the villagers of Lihua Village. Even the sensitive dog lay on the ground and slept soundly.
They pulled out the knives at their waists, and the sharp blades shone with a layer of cold light under the moonlight.
"The master has ordered that all the people in this village must be eliminated! There must be no one left alive!"
"understand!"
Just as they were about to break into Lihua Village and start a killing spree, there was a sudden burst of rapid dog barking, and then the dogs in the whole village barked wildly, deafeningly, even those who had fallen asleep were awakened.
They were stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to their senses, swung their knives and slashed at the woman who went out to check the situation.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow streaked across the night sky and pierced his chest.
Afterwards, several sharp arrows were shot out, and they were accurately shot on their chests. They didn't know who was behind them until they died.
The lights came on one after another, but when they went out to check, the fallen corpse had already been quietly removed, and the blood on the ground was also covered by heavy snow.
The old man came out of the warm room and looked at the flat snow field in front of him.
A moment later, another person walked out behind him.
The man's skin was almost transparent, with an unhealthy blush under the dim light.
"Grandpa Zhang, what are you looking at?"
Hearing this, Village Chief Zhang raised his head and saw the young man who was already a full head taller than himself showing doubts. He shook his head: "Xiao Yang, didn't I tell you? You must not show up without my order. "
"I've been in the cellar for several days." Zhang Yang sighed, "If the county lord hadn't come to the door suddenly, I wouldn't have been hiding for so long."
Hearing the disgust in his words, Village Chief Zhang sighed: "Xiao Yang, you shouldn't think that way. The Xinyue County Lord has a pure personality, but she has a kind heart. If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid you will The Zhang family can't even protect your blood."
Zhang Yang showed dissatisfaction, but under the reprimand of Village Chief Zhang, he still nodded undeniably: "Village Chief, you are right, but I can't put my hope on her. A person like her, I'm afraid After a few words, Li Cheng coaxed him into it."
Village head Zhang wanted to refute, but he had no choice but to swallow his breath. He shook his head: "You are right, she is indeed not a person who can do big things."
But in the middle of the conversation, he said again: "But I think that Changning County Lord is a good helper."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly: "I heard that Changning County Lord is dedicated to serving the people, and spent a lot of money to resettle the refugees in Jiangnan, besides, there is the eldest princess behind her. "
"That's right." As Village Chief Zhang said, he swept the snow away with his crutches, and Zhang Yang's expression changed drastically due to the frozen blood below.
"They're coming!" Zhang Yang nervously grabbed Village Chief Zhang's hand, wanting to warn him.
Village head Zhang waved his hand: "They are all dead."
There was a hint of clarity in his cloudy eyes: "I saw clearly just now that they were all killed. I'm afraid those who helped us were sent by the Lord Changning."
"County Changning has three thousand personal guards left by Princess Changning by her side, and she indeed has the ability to compete with the Li family." Zhang Yang's eyes flickered, and he finally made up his mind.
"Grandpa Zhang, I'm going out in a few days." Zhang Yang said in a low voice, "I'll find a way to get in touch with the county magistrate of Changning."
Village head Zhang glanced at him, and suddenly put a jade pendant into his hand: "This is left behind by the Changning County Lord when he left. If you want to see her, you might as well use this jade pendant as a token."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang showed joy, and immediately put the jade pendant in his hands.
It was snowing heavily, but Zhang Yang didn't feel cold. He wrapped his cotton coat tightly and was about to go outside.
Village head Zhang hesitated for a moment, then shouted softly: "Be careful on the road, don't let anyone see your identity!"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhang." Zhang Yang smiled, "I will definitely be careful."
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the night.
Seeing his retreating back, Village Chief Zhang sighed faintly.
"Old woman, is it right or wrong for me to do this?" Village head Zhang looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, with tears in his cloudy eyes.
But after a moment of sadness, his expression became firm again.
The enmity in Lihua Village back then...someone must remember it.
"That's natural." Zhou Jie nodded, not humble at all, "The county lord is dedicated to the people, and it was the same in Jiangnan before. You must have heard of the county lord's charitable deeds in Jiangnan to raise funds to relieve the victims."
Seeing the expression on Zhou Jie's face, it was obviously from the heart and very sincere. After seeing this, the corner of Li Cheng's mouth twitched.
