“On the fifth day of September, five hundred silvers are received and two thousand silvers are withdrawn.
On the tenth day of the ninth month, three hundred silvers were received and one thousand silvers were paid out.
On the first day of October, two hundred silver will be paid in and three thousand will be paid out..."
Wang Yuanting flipped through the account book in his hand, picked out a few items with large monthly differences, and read aloud.
The expressions of everyone in the Li family changed suddenly. Such a large amount of bills every month is not just as simple as purchasing goods.
"Shut up! Shut up!" The eldest young master of the Li family rushed towards Wang Yuanting with a ferocious expression. These were his darkest secrets, and just because they were exposed to the public, he wanted to eat him alive.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Wang Yuanting's lips. Greed, anger, and ignorance are the roots of people's suffering and ignorance. Among them, greed is the most irresistible.
The Li family is the richest man in Liangzhou. The eldest son of the Li family has enjoyed a life of fine clothing and fine food since he was a child. Naturally, he knows the happiness that silver brings to people. The gambling house is the most suitable place to find excitement and happiness.
The easier it is to get this thing, the less you will cherish it too much. The mother is pampered, the father is old, and the eldest son of the Li family has become a prodigal son. There are traces to follow.
"You treacherous son! All the family fortune I have worked hard for half my life has been ruined by you..." Mr. Li was so angry that he was shaking all over, and a bloody aura surged out. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, but it was still too late, and he directly It spurted out with a "pop" sound.
"Master!" The entire Li family was in a panic. Manager Li exclaimed and ran over to help his master. The backbone of the Li family fell, and the entire Li family was in chaos, and the female relatives even cried out in public.
Amid the cries, a firm and powerful voice came from the door of the courtyard: "Don't panic, everyone in the Li family, it's not time to lose heart yet!"
"Second Young Master?" The nurse at the entrance of the courtyard was the closest. He immediately recognized the person as his Second Young Master, but the calmness and wisdom in the man's brows were clearly not what the former Li Changqiu had.
Wang Yuanting raised his eyes and looked at the entrance of the courtyard. A man in a dark red robe with narrow sleeves walked into the courtyard. Although his temperament was completely different, he looked like Li Changqiu.
He is back, He is back with a new lease of life!
Wang Yuanting was also happy for him. He immediately looked behind Li Changqiu, followed by Xiao Qi and Li Ergou, with Yu Wenjing walking at the back.
Yuwenjing looked calm and calm, but Wang Yuanting could see that the energy around Yuwenjing was obviously much weaker. It seemed that he had lost a lot of energy to Li Changqiu.
"It's the second young master who's back!" Seeing Li Changqiu's arrival, the Li family members in the courtyard calmed down and waited for the second young master to deal with the predicament at hand.
Li Changqiu glanced at his father who fell on the ground and his brother who was grabbing the ledger, and understood everything instantly. He forced himself to calm down. The Li family was now relying on him, otherwise his father's life-long efforts would be lost.
He strode up to Master Li, took out a porcelain bottle from Master Li, and fed the life-saving pill to Master Li.
Mr. Li took the pill and the breath he had been holding in his chest subsided. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his second son, who was slightly different from usual, with a happy smile.
"General Manager Li went to see Dr. Ma. He knows my father's body best." Li Changqiu said as he took his father from General Manager Li's arms, and the servants nearby also rushed over to help.
Master Li watched Li Changqiu commanding his servants in an orderly manner, and felt relieved. If he really fell, there would still be one person from the Li family to support him, and it was just his son who had worked hard.
"Qiu'er, stop being busy, I know my body best. You have suffered all these years, and our Li family will all depend on you in the future." Master Li grabbed Li Changqiu's hand, his eyes full of guilt.
"Father, don't worry, the Li family cannot fail without me." Li Changqiu took over the heavy responsibility of the Li family, and from today on he is the head of the Li family.
He held his father's old and withered hand tightly in his hand. It was because he had been unfilial and ran to the Valley of Fantasy, otherwise he would not have allowed his elder brother to be so presumptuous.
At this time, he was like a child who had regained family ties and never wanted to be separated from his father for a moment: "Dad, you are the only relative I have, don't abandon me."
"Good boy..." Seeing that Li Changqiu had regained his former intelligence and calmness, Mr. Li smiled happily. Even if he died in Li Changqiu's arms today, he could rest in peace.
Mr. Li was too weak to move at will, so Li Changqiu asked his servants to move a wicker chair and found a secluded place in the corner of the courtyard to rest while waiting for Doctor Ma to come for diagnosis and treatment.
After arranging everything, Li Changqiu got up and walked back, just in time to see Wang Yuanting knock down Young Master Li who was snatching the account book with him to the ground.
Wang Yuanting turned to look at Li Changqiu. Seeing his calm and calm appearance, he was a little uncomfortable with it, so he just nodded slightly to him.
Li Changqiu was able to successfully regain his former self because of Wang Yuanting's full help. At this time, he felt Wang Yuanting's eyes.
He raised his head and looked towards Wang Yuanting and nodded respectfully. The next moment, his eyes were full of resentment because he saw the murderer who killed his brother and his wife - Li Changqing!
At this time, it was time for Li Changqiu to settle the accounts. He tried to keep his voice low so that his father would not hear his sadness, but the resentment in his heart prevented him from calming down: "Li Changqing! You lost all the family property, made your father vomit blood, and killed your wife and brother. All kinds of evil deeds are not tolerated by nature. Our Li family does not recognize you, so get out of here immediately!"
Li Changqing struggled to get up from the ground, and said angrily: "Humph! What a big tone, City Master Mu is behind me, you have to weigh yourself before you let me go!"
Li Changqing's threatening words did not frighten Li Changqiu. Instead, he sneered: "Hahaha! Ten years ago, I was a ten-year-old child, letting you bully me. Now, I am the head of the Li family and the leader of the outer sect of Fantasy Valley. I won't let you bully me!
If you don't leave the Li family, I will report you to the officials. With so many people here testifying, I don’t believe City Lord Mu can protect you! "
"You..." Li Changqing was speechless. In fact, he knew his situation in his heart. When he snatched the account book, no one from the Li family helped him, and even the secret guard assigned to him by City Lord Mu disappeared.
But he was unwilling to do so. If the account book hadn't suddenly appeared, his plan would have been perfect and his deadly secret would not have been discovered.
"It's all your fake account books that caused us to betray our relatives. Who are you and why did you harm me?" Li Changqing started biting people again like a mad dog. As he spoke, he wanted to stand up and go crazy, but was kicked to the ground by Wang Yuanting.
"Li Changqing, please wake up. If you want to survive, tell the truth. Who set up the Changhe Array?" Wang Yuanting suppressed the anger in his heart. If there hadn't been something to do with Li Changqing, a "beast" like Li Changqing who was inferior to a pig or a dog, he would have long ago I killed Li Changqing thousands of times.
"What magic circle? I don't know?" Li Changqing looked at Wang Yuanting doubtfully. He was not a cultivator, so he didn't know anything about the magic circle.
However, his life is not something anyone can take. City Lord Mu promised him to become the head of the Li family. How could a city lord break his promise?
Li Changqing struggled desperately to stand up, used all his strength, raised the token of Lord Mu again, and shouted arrogantly: "I am the eldest young master of the Li family! I am the future head of the Li family! My life is very valuable, Let me see who dares to move..."
Before the word "I" could be uttered, a sharp crossbow arrow flew out and hit Li Changqing directly in the throat. Li Changqing was killed on the spot, with City Lord Mu's token still clutched in his hand as he died with his eyes open.
Everyone in the Li family in the courtyard was so frightened that they squatted down and hid in the corner, not daring to show their heads. Xiao Qi and Li Ergou hurriedly protected Mr. Li in the middle, and Yu Wenjing also called on the Feng family disciples to be ready.
But after a long time, there was no sound, as if the crossbow arrow fell from the sky. Although nothing happened, everyone still did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Wang Yuanting collected the magic weapon Netherworld Fan and leaned over to inspect Li Changqing's wounds. He found that the crossbow arrow was very exquisitely made. Elder Luan was an expert in using arrows. He believed that if he showed it to her, he would be able to identify which force it was.
When he put away the crossbow and stood up, Mr. Li had already been taken elsewhere by Li Ergou and others. Li Changqiu apologized to the guests in the main courtyard, and only the Yuwenjing and Feng family disciples were left in the backyard to deal with the aftermath.
"Thank you, Brother Yuwen." Wang Yuanting raised the corners of his mouth, showing a grateful and friendly smile.
Yu Wenjing also returned a sincere smile. He walked over slowly and took a look at Li Changqing's body, which was deeply touched in his heart.
Good and evil will be rewarded, which may be the best ending for now, but in the hearts of the Li family, they probably won't be able to get out of the shadow of today in this life.
"It's time for me to go back. Xiaoqi will stay at Li's house temporarily. If something happens..." Wang Yuanting explained the matter to Yuwenjing. He didn't need to say the implication, I believe Yuwenjing would also understand.
Yu Wenjing nodded, although he felt reluctant to leave, but when things came to an end, the two of them had to face separation.
He patted Wang Yuanting's shoulder and tried to appear as relaxed as possible: "Don't worry, Li Changqiu is a disciple of the Feng family, we won't ignore him."
Wang Yuanting's heart warmed, and he knew that Yuwenjing understood what he meant, and he felt relieved to entrust Li Changqiu to Yuwenjing.
"I'll treat you to a drink next time." Wang Yuanting raised his eyebrows, jumped out of the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the morning sunlight...
Outside Liangzhou City.
The moment the car curtain was pulled, a bright smile came into view, and Wang Yuanting could no longer see anyone else.
Shen Qingxi's joyful and coquettish smile made Wang Yuanting unable to stop. He ducked into the carriage without caring about her presence, took Shen Qingxi's hand and kissed her affectionately.
Luan Wushuang turned away slightly, and Feng Siniang even blushed with embarrassment. Although it was just a kiss on the hand, Shen Qingxi understood the desire and restraint in Wang Yuanting's eyes and wanted to get under the car.
Wang Yuanting also touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. He couldn't control himself for a moment and almost missed the point.
He cleared his throat, took out the crossbow bolt and handed it to Luan Wushuang: "Godmother, do you recognize this crossbow bolt?"
Luan Wushuang took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said with certainty: "It is the elite crossbow camp of City Lord Mu."
"It's really ironic." Wang Yuanting laughed out loud. It seemed that City Master Mu was really a ruthless character.
