Liu Zhi'an let out a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a pleased expression: "I thought you would think that I was too unscrupulous and cruel.
You will accuse me from your own moral point of view! "
"Everything you did was because of me stepping on the Seven Stars. Why should I accuse you, and what qualifications do I have to accuse you?
The pressure you are bearing is as heavy as a million, and I don’t know how much greater it is than some of the grievances I have endured.
After all, everything happens for a reason!
You do it for my own good, but I can never judge whether what you do is right or wrong from my perspective! "
Liu Zhi'an patted Liu Mingzhi's shoulder again, with a relaxed and carefree look on his face.
"My child, I do not deny that my hands are stained with a lot of blood and murder. Even though I did not kill them with my own hands, the root cause of their deaths was always caused by me.
But there is one thing, whether you believe it or not, I hope you understand.
But none of the families who died in the business war deserved their death.
As you just said, they overstepped their bounds and looked too ugly, which will eventually lead to trouble.
A piece of meat is only so big. If you take the meat from someone else's hand, be prepared for someone to fight back.
People die for wealth and birds die for food. This is the eternal truth.
They cross the border to grab food. Even if I don't take action, the other old families in Jinling will not let them go.
If it falls into my hands, except for the heinous people, I will not implicate their wives, children, and children. If it falls into the hands of others, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
As for those trading houses that were exterminated, they naturally had their reasons for dying.
You understand this too!
In terms of character, I can still guarantee that I am not the kind of person who loves killing people. If I disagree, I will destroy the foundation of others. It is definitely not my style to cut them off. "
"I still believe this. After all, the Shen family and the Gu family are the best proof.
Is there anything you want to ask me? For example, am I your son? "
Liu Zhi'an frowned and looked Liu Mingzhi up and down with some hesitation: "Just like what you just speculated, I have indeed doubted your identity more than once.
After all, after you woke up, your behavior and personality were completely different from before. It is impossible to imagine that this is a change that can happen after a person faints once.
As the saying goes, a father knows his son as well as his mother.
I really can't accept your sudden change for a while.
After investigating all the clues, I still can't find any evidence that you were transferred.
Later, I gradually put the matter aside and silently forgot about it, but my heart was always...always..."
Liu Mingzhi understood what Liu Zhian wanted to say and took it directly: "There is always a thorn in the side, right?"
Liu Zhi'an nodded noncommittally: "Yeah, but it's better now. The fog has been cleared to see the light. Now all the thorns are gone.
The worries in my heart can be completely let go.
As for if you have any other questions, how did you know that Liu Jing is not me? "
"Liu Jing?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Liu Jing must be the fake Liu Zhian on the palace wall.
Looking at Liu Zhi'an's curious eyes, Liu Mingzhi picked up the dry tobacco bag he had left on the table, filled a pot with it, lit it and puffed it out against the light.
"When you were with Uncle Liu, could you smell something different from others on him?"
Liu Zhi'an murmured slightly before he realized what he was saying. He raised his hand and patted the desk.
"What a bastard. I told him more than once to smoke less dry cigarettes and less dry cigarettes, but he just didn't listen. When he came up, I was exposed. I can't spare him.
At that time, when I received the letter from Liu Yuan, I was quite puzzled. Did you see something wrong with Yuan Wumian's disguise technique?
Otherwise, how could you have categorically asked Liu Yuan to send me a message asking me to come back?
It turns out that the real crux lies with Liu Jing!
But I also take a few puffs when I'm fine. Although it's not much, don't you have any doubts? "
Mr. Liu grinned, cleaned the cigarette in his hand, washed the cigarette holder with tea and hung it back to its original place.
“If you take a puff of this thing accidentally, it will definitely not leave a strong smell of fireworks. People who have been smoking cigarettes all year round can feel it as soon as they get close.
Besides, you bad old man, I have been waiting for you to fly to the west several times, so that I can inherit the family business. You are not willing to go to the Lord of Hell, how can you die for no reason?
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. "
Liu Zhi'an rolled his eyes and kicked Mr. Liu on the butt.
"Fuck you, why did I give birth to a white-eyed wolf like you?
Let's go to the living room to eat. I guess your mother and the others are also impatiently waiting. "
Young Master Liu patted the footprints on his butt and walked towards the door with a depressed expression.
"Old man, this young master is now the king of a country. If you dare to do this again, you will be executed by the whole family.
This young master has established his own business, and I can’t copy it anyway.
I advise you to have some respect for yourself, and be careful that one day this young master will end his marriage out of righteousness. "
"Fuck you, I, you are my seed even if you unite the three kingdoms and become an emperor for eternity.
I haven't touched you at all in my fart glory and wealth, and I still have to bear the eternal infamy with you in the history books.
You actually want to take action on me, you are so tired of living! "
The two men were cursing and walking toward the main hall in a loving and filial manner. Liu Mingzhi's pace suddenly slowed down.
“Old man, is Third Uncle really no longer alive?
After experiencing so many things, I had some doubts about whether my third uncle had really passed away.
Now I am even more doubtful whether the third uncle is still alive.
Especially last year, when I went to the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs to meet Lao Zhou and went to Wei Yong and Lao Jiang's house, I met a figure by mistake in a folk alley.
That figure was very much like my third uncle, but I didn't prove anything later.
Now that everything has stabilized, let me ask you, is your third uncle still alive? "
Liu Zhi'an's expression stiffened for a moment, and disappeared the moment Liu Mingzhi turned around.
"Is it important?"
"It's not important to me, but it's very important to my second brother and Weier.
If the third uncle is still alive, it should be a big surprise for Wei'er and the second brother... No... it's just a big surprise. "
Liu Zhi'an's expression gradually became complicated, and he sighed heavily after being silent for a long time.
"Oh! Let's go eat!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhian's back, who was leading the way. He pondered thoughtfully for a moment, licked the corners of his dry mouth and followed.
In the main hall, Mrs. Liu, Young Master Liu's wife, younger sister and thirteenth aunt were wandering around the dining table with frowning faces.
It's been so long, what on earth did the two men talk about for so long and they still haven't come out.
An Gou'er, Lu Ya, and An Dai'er, who had just returned, stood aside and looked at each other in confusion at the female family members of the Liu family, wondering what was going on.
"Dad! Big brother!"
An Gou'er's voice led everyone to look towards the back hall.
Sure enough, the father and son came out with different expressions, and almost nothing could be seen from their expressions.
"Master, Zhi'er, you finally came out. If you were a little later, the food would be all cold."
Liu Zhi'an still had the smiling face of an old fox and motioned for everyone to take their seats.
Seeing everyone looking at Young Master Liu, Liu Zhi'an frowned slightly and sat at the front seat.
"At home, he is your son, Madam, your nephew, Sister Ling'er, your husband, Yun'er, and your eldest brother, Xuan'er, Jiang He, and Lu Ya.
See what he does, if I tell you to sit down, sit down! "
Liu Zhi'an kept making jokes with his son in the study on the way to the main hall, just because he didn't want to become alienated from his family just because his identity had changed!
Compared with the hereditary emperor, he is a halfway emperor, who has experienced the ups and downs of human relationships and enjoyed family relationships.
When you become an emperor, can you disown your own wife, children, and children?
Young Master Liu noticed something was wrong in Liu Zhian's tone, and immediately understood what the old man was thinking.
This is me. Maybe if it were someone else, the old man's words might really cause some gaps.
"Mom, Thirteenth Aunt, Yun'er, Xuan'er, Jiang He... The old man is right, there is not so much emphasis on eating at home, just eat!
I don't care whether you are an emperor or not. "
Everyone then began to take their seats and slowly relaxed.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empty chair opposite Qi Yun that belonged to the third princess Li Yan!
"Yun'er, Yan'er is still bored in the room?"
Qi Yun nodded helplessly: "Yes! Sister Yan'er said she was feeling a little uncomfortable!"
"Eat, I will bring her some food later."
Liu Mingzhi put away his complicated eyes, picked up a piece of sauce meat with a smile and put it into Mrs. Liu's bowl.
"Mom, you've worked hard to prepare a table of meals. Eat some meat to replenish your body!"
