Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

Unable to rest assured, Li Zheng organized a group of young and strong men to take turns patrolling the edge of the mountain. If a pack of wolves or other wild beasts were to rush down the mountain, they would know the countermeasures in advance.

The villagers have no objection to this arrangement, and the rules in previous years are the same. If a wild beast rushes down, it will be troublesome, and people will die.

Guo Liang and Xiao Heng also participated in the village's operations, patrolling the night with the villagers. Li Zheng originally did not want to arrange for them, but they were unable to resist their requests. Moreover, they were both from Lian family backgrounds, and each of them was worth five people in the village. Six men, so the men in the village were divided into two teams and handed over to them respectively.

Anqing County

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion returned to the house from outside. He only had time to drink a cup of tea, and then hurried to the study to see the master.

"Master, the little one is back."

Li Wenqing closed the account book he was reading, looked up at the person, and asked, "Has the person picked it up?"

It was freezing outside, but the housekeeper, who had been riding a carriage all the way back, raised his hand and wiped his forehead with his sleeve. Cold sweat broke out, and he carefully replied: "Master, Master Peng... is dead."

"What?" Li Wenqing stood up in shock, took two steps forward and then stopped, "What's going on? How could a good person die?"

The shops and houses in Qingyi Town have been repossessed. Zhao Jin and his son have no place to stay in the town. It is impossible for them to return to their original mountain village to live a poor life after they are used to enjoying wealth. Thinking that they are Zhao Shuyun's brothers after all He and his nephew were also cousins ​​to him, so he left Zhao Jin in Anqing's mansion, invited a doctor to treat his leg injury, and asked the housekeeper to go to Qingxian Town to pick up Zhao Peng and his family.

He had another purpose in asking the housekeeper to go to Qingyi Town in person, which was to let the housekeeper secretly investigate the origin of the so-called cousin. How could the Yu family still have relatives alive, otherwise...

Of course, he would not admit that he was wrong. The Yu family's silk and satin shop has developed in his hands. In his opinion, it is the best reward for shopkeeper Yu who entrusted the family business with him.

But the sudden appearance of his cousin made him restless, and he got involved with Li Cheng again, so he wanted to find out where this relative appeared from. Maybe it was just someone pretending to want to take over the Li family. family wealth.

As for Zhao Peng, his cousin, Li Wenqing didn't like him. He didn't know how to speak, and he was just as lustful as his father. The look in his eyes at the servants after he came here several times made Li Wenqing want to fight him out. It is also embarrassing for him to have such a nephew.

I originally thought that when I took over, Zhao Shuyun would be more disciplined and restrained, and he would go out less to cause trouble, but it was just a matter of having more mouths to eat in the house. He couldn't really turn a blind eye to this relative, otherwise he would not be able to see his mother in a hundred years.

As a result, this news came.

"Master, he is really dead. He was burned to death." The butler swallowed and said, and told the situation that he had found out, but it was only superficial, and he couldn't even know who killed Zhao Peng.

And the most speechless thing is that Zhao Peng was burned alive because he fell in love with the daughter of a farmer's family and came to the house in the middle of the night to rob her.

When Li Wenqing heard why Zhao Peng died, all he felt was anger. He had already told Zhao Shuyun that she should take care of this ignorant nephew, but now he had caused such a big disaster and died unexpectedly.

Li Wenqing no longer even thinks about pursuing the murderer. If an innocent person is killed, he will have to report it to the police to catch the murderer. But now that he reports to the government, Zhao Peng's bad behavior will be exposed at the same time. By then, the Li family will also have to report it. Being judged by others is not a good thing for people in the business world.

"Huh, tell your uncle the exact words then."

"Yes, sir." The housekeeper wiped his cold sweat again. He asked the neighboring villagers. No one knew the cause of Zhao Peng's death. He only knew that a fire burned everyone in the house to death. When he left, The bones were lying around the house with no one collecting them.Fortunately, it was cold, otherwise the villagers would have packed up the person and thrown him into the wilderness, so he paid some silver and asked Li Zheng in the village to help bury him.

"What about other situations? How is Sister Cheng doing?" Li Wenqing asked again, putting aside Zhao Peng's matter.

"Sir," the butler replied quickly. "The shop is now being handled by Li Dong, who is from our house. The people helping in the shop are all from the Mengjiao Gang, and the leader is the guy named Brother Xiong who came here last time."

After three days of separation, the housekeeper was impressed. The butler felt that these words were just right for Li Dong. He took a look from a distance and almost didn't dare to recognize him. Of course, he didn't come close to let Li Dong find out. He just inquired from the side and saw that The boy's face glowed red, and he knew he was much more comfortable than the days in the mansion.

"Li Dong got rid of all the goods in the shop at low prices. I heard that he plans to open another business after the new year. He will reorganize the shop after the new year. As for the young master Luo Biao..." the housekeeper frowned. "I really can't find out the origin, but I sent people to Zhengyang Village to stay for two days. I heard that two distinguished guests passed by from Dechang County. I heard that they were not dressed like ordinary people."

The housekeeper carefully took a peek at the master and knew what he was worried about. It would be even worse if the madam knew about it. Fortunately, the madam went to Fucheng and did not come back, otherwise there would be trouble even with the uncle.

This uncle is really unable to deal with Sister Cheng, and even his legs were broken. The doctor said that it can’t be cured, and he can only lie on the bed from now on. Now that his son is dead, the Zhao family’s incense is unknown. Can it be passed down, otherwise we will have no descendants?

They went to Qingyi Town to pick up the Zhao family, but the real owner didn't pick them up. Almost all the servants in the house ran away. Instead, they brought back a few beautiful concubines. They were crying and crying all the way, making him and his two children noisy. , this trip was both frightening and frightening. He felt dizzy now, and he still managed to report it to the master.

He was also afraid in his heart. When the eldest lady suddenly became different from the house, although he had not directly bullied the eldest lady in the past ten years or so, he did not report the eldest lady's situation to the master because he was worried about offending his wife. Secretly, he condoned all the actions of his servants towards the eldest lady.

Because at that time, the master did not pay attention to the eldest lady at all, and the wife regarded her as a thorn in his side. At that time, anyone with a brain would know who to listen to, otherwise he would not want to continue being a housekeeper.

"Go down." Li Wenqing's face was solemn. The housekeeper couldn't see anything, but when the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave, he was stopped again. "Let people keep an eye on it to see what it's about, so that Sister Cheng won't be deceived out of ignorance."

"...Yes, yes, sir." The housekeeper felt that he had taken on another difficult errand.
