When Mr. Li came home at night and learned what happened during the day, he became furious.
"But a small county magistrate actually bullied the Li family. Who gave him the courage?"
Mr. Li slammed the table hard. It was okay that Li Sheng was beaten last time. He was just a shopkeeper of Renyitang. He was at fault in the first place. There was no need to make a big fuss.
But he felt very unhappy, and his people dared to touch him, so he didn’t want to mess around anymore?
Unexpectedly, the little county magistrate not only refused to apologize, but went even harder and even dared to beat his son. This was simply astonishing.
The housekeeper said, "Master, the young master also said some inappropriate words in court. With so many people watching, I'm afraid it would have a bad impact if the Li family came forward."
Mr. Li looked at him, "When have the members of my Li family ever been so angry? Let Zhou'er get beaten in vain?"
The eldest young master had been standing by the side. The housekeeper glanced at him and motioned for him to give him some advice.
"Dad, I know you feel sorry for your third brother, but how long has this new magistrate been in office? First he beat shopkeeper Li to establish his authority, and then he tried many cases, and people from other families were more or less moved. This shows his courage.
It’s really not small.”
"If there is no one to protect him, how can he have such courage? I heard that he is a Tanhualang, but he was sent to this place. I can't guarantee that there are other intentions from above."
Mr. Li said, "What's the point? I think his family is poor and can't afford the money, so he was sent here."
I have to say that Mr. Li has revealed the truth.
But Li Yunhao, the eldest young master of the Li family, has to be more cautious, "We don't know his origins, so it's better not to make enemies with him first. I know that dad is friends with the prefect, but we are just businessmen, and it is always inappropriate to go against the government.
What if he has such a powerful background that even the prefect is afraid of him?"
Mr. Li has also come back to his senses. The Li family has friends with the magistrate, so it is okay to walk sideways in this area.
But if that person is really well-connected, the prefect will definitely not protect the Li family, and everything will be over by then.
"Then you mean to make your third brother suffer in vain?"
Li Yunhao smiled and said, "Actually, it was the third brother who started this matter. It was just a fight with a classmate, and he had to go to the Yamen. Maybe he wanted to embarrass the little magistrate. Who knows, he is not afraid of anything, so he had to go to the Yamen.
Got beaten."
"I just asked Doctor Li. Except for the injury on his buttocks, the third brother was not injured anywhere else. It can be seen that he did not suffer any loss in the academy. The magistrate's son was beaten by him and he also received five slaps in the court.
, Come to think of it, third brother is not at a loss either."
"I've brought back some new gadgets. I'll use them to make my third brother happy, so he won't be angry anymore."
Mr. Li nodded and asked the butler, "Are those slaps heavy? Where are the boys from the county magistrate's family?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "The force is not too strong. I see that both sides are about the same. With so many people watching, the magistrate dare not be partial."
Mr. Li said, "Well, let's leave this matter alone for now. You can coax your third brother well, and I will avenge him when I find an opportunity in the future."
Li Yunhao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go see my third brother soon."
After leaving the study and walking further away, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "The eldest young master still has the idea. If the master goes to the Yamen for this matter, I don't know how the outside world will talk about the Li family. We will not be responsible."
Li Yunhao said, "Since my father made friends with the magistrate, he has been doing business like a duck to water over the years, and he has become less and less considerate of others. If he continues like this, something will happen."
The housekeeper agreed with his statement, "Young master, do you think the county magistrate is really well-connected?"
"I can't say for sure, but it's always right to be cautious. The Li family finally became the richest man in Yun'an County, so they have to be cautious in everything."
Li Yunhao took some gadgets to see Li Yunzhou, and after saying all his good things, he finally said, "I heard that the boy from the county magistrate's family was in pain and couldn't stand up. He was seriously injured."
Li Yunzhou's eyes lit up, "Seriously?"
"Of course it's true. He is smaller than you and has a weak body. Even if he only has five boards, it will still be fatal."
Weak?
Li Yunzhou thought to himself, why don't I believe this? Where is he weak? Is he as strong as an ox?
"Brother, you didn't coax me, did you?"
Li Yunhao's expression remained unchanged, "What's the point of coaxing you? Of course I came to tell you after hearing about it."
"Well, as long as he feels pain, I'll be happy."
In another house, Xiaoyu sneezed, rubbed his nose and continued shooting arrows, hitting nine out of ten shots.
Xiaoduo clapped her hands with joy, "Brother, you are getting more and more accurate, you are simply a marksman."
Xiaoyu has always been steady and rarely makes a fuss. "If I hadn't received five hits today, I would have hit ten out of ten."
Hearing this, Lin Xiyi came out of the room, "I said you were fat and you were out of breath. Just practice for a while. I got beaten today anyway. You can easily get a fever if you sweat too much."
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Those boards can't hurt me, I have thick skin."
Xiaoduo nodded, "Yes, he is quite thick-skinned."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little fish ran after her, and the yard was full of laughter.
Chen Zhongqian came back and said, "It seems that the attack was too light. I still have the strength to chase your sister."
"It's not heavy, but it still hurts." Xiaoyu touched his butt, "It stopped hurting after applying ointment."
Chen Zhongqian smiled and said, "Recuperate at home for three days, and then go to school in three days."
There is no need to rest for this kind of injury, but Xiaoyu acted like he was in pain today, and so many people saw it. If he goes to school in high spirits tomorrow, who will believe that he is weak?
Aunt Xiang's meal was cooked for dinner, and it was to Lin Yuxi's liking, but when she ate the cucumber salad, she still covered her mouth and felt like vomiting.
Aunt Xiang was very nervous and said, "Madam, I forgive you, I will do better next time."
Chen Zhongqian let Lin Xixi drink the water smoothly. After she recovered, she said, "Aunt Xiang, I am feeling sick due to pregnancy. It has nothing to do with the food you cooked. You don't have to be so nervous."
Aunt Xiang nodded. She was pregnant and had a tricky taste. Yesterday, my wife loved eating mixed cucumbers, but today I felt like vomiting just looking at them.
Lin Hexi said with a smile, "They are all delicious, really, there is no need to be nervous."
Aunt Xiang's husband and children went to war, and none of them came back. Her husband's family thought she was unknown, so they sold her to Yaxing. After the sale, both families treated her very badly. They beat her and scolded her, so she had some problems.
Nervous, afraid of doing anything wrong.
Lin Yuxi didn't persuade her, he could only let her get used to it. Once she knew that this family really didn't have so many rules and they really didn't hit people, she would naturally relax.
At night, when everything was quiet, the Black Panther came through the secret door to the courtyard where Chen Zhongqian and Lin Xixi lived, and entered the house with ease.
Lin Xixi said with a smile, "I came just in time, there is work for you to do."
