Tibet

Chapter 341
After seeing off a few brothers, Li Dai came back in a hurry to find Li Ye, "Ye'er, tell me, what's going on with Li Yu?"

Li Ye took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "It is true that more than [-] farmers in Heyang were killed, but does father think that Li Yu ordered the suppression?"

Li Dai shook his head and said, "Impossible, I was a magistrate too, even if Li Yu gave the order, the yamen servants would not dare to act, I felt strange when I heard it."

"Father's feeling is correct. In fact, it is impossible for the county government to kill him. Someone should have fished in troubled waters and planted it on Li Yu. This is actually a poisonous arrow shot at grandfather in the back. Li Yu is the eldest grandson! Father Guess who did it?"

Li Dai was silent for a moment and said, "The Yuwen family couldn't have done it!"

Li Ye said indifferently: "The Yuwen family has a deep blood feud with us. I was still thinking about it. My grandfather retired, but they didn't do anything. Isn't this here?"

Li Dai walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "I can't control what happens to Li Xiu, but your grandfather will definitely not be able to take this blow, Ye'er, in order to protect your grandfather's life, we can't stand by and watch this matter."

Li Ye nodded, "I can help, but if I don't see Li Xiu's sincerity, I can't help at all!"

Li Dai only knew that he couldn't force his son, so he could only sigh secretly.

At this time, Li Ye said again: "I told my mother just now that Chang Le's old house can be converted into a ancestral hall, and my mother agreed. In addition, I will bear all the money and materials for the renovation!"

Li Dai quickly said: "The main mansion will give us [-] guan, and we will spend it from here, but I don't have any money left, you can lend me some first, a few hundred guan is enough!"

Li Ye said with a smile: "I happen to have a thousand Sogdian gold coins in my room. Father will use them first, and tell me if there are not enough!"

Li Dai was really sad and said: "Ye'er, is the family divided into two like this?"

Li Ye smiled, "My grandfather told me a long time ago that this is just a risk-avoiding strategy. I believe that sooner or later, the two sides will merge into one, but it will not be a simple re-merger, but the father's side. Annex the side of the main palace."

It was late at night, and most of the houses were dark, but the lights in the inner hall of Yuwen Mansion were dimly lit, and Yu Wentong was discussing countermeasures with Yu Wenwei and Yu Wenzhi.

The murder in Heyang County was done by them. Yu Wenwei single-handedly planned it and spent [-] yuan to invite a group of murderous Wangwushan bandits to do it.

The Yuwen family can't afford to raise warriors now, and they dare not raise warriors, so they can only spend money to find someone to do things.

Yu Wentong was concerned about the aftermath, and asked, "Have these murderers gone back?"

"After receiving the money, they left. They didn't dare to stay in Guanzhong. They should go back to their lair!"

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yu Wenwei nodded, "According to what they said, there were some loopholes, but the situation was urgent at that time, and they were afraid that the villagers would retaliate, so they rushed in and out, killing people and retreating in the shortest possible time."

"Like what loophole?"

"The weapon used to kill people is the loophole. They shot them with crossbow arrows first, and then killed some of the injured farmers before retreating."

Yu Wentong frowned. It was indeed a big loophole. Headhunters were not equipped with crossbow arrows, and the problem could be found just by checking.

Yu Wenzhi said with a smile from the side: "Father, if the Yang family wants to clean up Li Linfu, this is an opportunity. That idiot Li Yu actually listened to his subordinates' advice and concealed the death. This time he is doomed. Li Linfu is seriously ill. The bad news about the eldest grandson, I guess he won't survive this time, we just wait and see the good show!"

Yu Wentong nodded slowly, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

The next day was a ten-day break, and Li Dai had a rare day off, so he took the [-] gold coins given to him by his son and went to the old house in Changlefang, where the other five brothers were waiting for him. The old house with one mu of land was converted into the second ancestral hall of the family.

Everyone likes this place, it's quiet and hidden, it's close to the city wall, and the place is big, the most important thing is that it's close, it's very convenient, except for Li Dai, who is farther away, everyone else is in this workshop.

Everyone unanimously decided to put the ancestral hall here officially.

Of course, this old house is the property of his wife Pei Sanniang. It cost [-] yuan at the beginning. Once the family allocated the money, Li Dai had to return the money to his wife, and it was considered a family purchase.

Among the few brothers, Li Qi is the twentieth one who is more active. He is the manager of the restaurant in Xuanyangfang. He has many friends and connections. Just renovate the main hall, and I know a friend who builds ancestral halls for people in Chang’an City, and I entrust him to do it, and it will cost about a hundred guan at most, and it will be done properly in a few days.”

Li Dai nodded, "There is no problem with the government's filing. The key is that the next door must agree, otherwise they will make trouble and it will not look good. Have Brother Seventeen talked to them?"

This house is a private house, and changing it into a ancestral hall needs to be filed with the county government and approved by the county government. Of course, the county magistrate is Feng Min, and he will not object. The key is that the neighbors must agree.

Li Wei smiled wryly and said: "I talked to the old couple next door when I came back last night. They agreed with the price of twenty pennies. I bargained with them, and finally settled on twelve pennies. They agreed to bet."

It’s already Chang’an’s practice to bribe neighbors when buying a house. Twelve Guans don’t have much money, so Li Dai immediately said: “Give them the money today, and ask them to put a mortgage on the house sales contract. Don’t delay it. gone."

"Don't worry! Leave this matter to me."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and when everyone turned their heads, they were startled to find that the elder brother Li Xiu had come.

In the room, Li Xiu put the deed of the sub-mansion on the table, "This is the house in Xuanpingfang, and it was officially handed over to the fifth younger brother. I will move to the main mansion in these two days. The furniture inside is more expensive. The fifth brother is now, and then the property division will make a new plan to ensure fairness, not only real estate such as shops and manors, but also a large amount of wealth left by my father, which will be divided equally between the two sides as family property."

Looking at the big brother like this, how could Li Dai not understand?

He was silent for a moment and said, "I just heard about Yu'er."

Li Xiu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he said with a choked voice: "Yu'er has been dismissed from office by the supervisory censor on the spot and brought back to Chang'an. He is my eldest son and the eldest grandson of my father. If my father hears the news, How can the old man bear it?"

Li Xiu thumped and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly: "Fifth brother, help me! Brother, I beg you."

"Brother, don't be like this, get up!"

Li Dai helped his elder brother to sit down, and then asked, "Did elder brother go to any activities?"

"Forget it!"

Li Xiu let out a long sigh, "After I got the news yesterday afternoon, I took 500 taels of gold to beg Zhang Jun at night. I thought they would definitely help me because of their marriage, but I didn't expect him to return Yu'er's marriage certificate to me on the spot, saying Yu'er is not worthy to be his son-in-law, and put on a stern posture, insisting on doing business with no tolerance, and even suspending me from my job to prevent interference with the case. Throwing out of the house, I have never seen such a disgusting person, back then he vowed to win me over, but turned his face faster than turning the book!"

Li Dai sighed secretly in his heart, if Zhang Jun hadn't returned the handle to him, would he have such an attitude?
However, Li Dai is generous, so he didn't mention this matter, he nodded and said: "I will also think of a way!"

Li Xiu's heart is like a mirror, Li Dai has a way, the key is his son, only Li Ye can save his son.

"Fifth brother, I want to apologize to 38 Lang. Please tell him that I will publicly apologize to him in the ancestral hall. This time, I ask him to help me for my grandfather's sake."

"I will persuade him well!"

To be honest, Li Dai is not sure about his son at all. The son wants to see sincerity, but what kind of sincerity does the son want?
