Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Nowadays, Liu Lian is old and sick all year round. To put it bluntly, Liu Lian may blow out the lamp and pull out the wax at any time.

Therefore, the biggest rumor in the entire Yuli Village is naturally who should inherit this huge family business.

In the eyes of the servants and villagers, Liu Nianyin took care of the village's affairs all year round, so it was natural for her to inherit the mantle of Yuli Village.

However, the third lady, as Liu Lian's old love, is not a good person.

She didn't want such a large portion of the family business to be owned by Liu Nianyin's daughter.

I must fight for my son.

However, the third lady is just a woman who only knows how to play tricks.

When it comes to the bank's business, external negotiations, and interpersonal relationships, she can't do any of them.

Compared with Liu Nianyin, he is just a useless snack.

So, what bad idea did the third lady come up with?

Well, poison.

Six months ago, Liu Nianyin caught a cold due to running around.

After the third lady knew about it, she took the initiative to take over the work of decoction for her every day.

She asked Grandma Sun to get up early every morning to boil the medicine, and then send it to Liu Nianyin's room.

In fact, a chronic and highly toxic poison called Chunqiu Cartilage Powder was put into the medicine.

As its name suggests, Chunqiu Cartilage Powder Poison has a very long attack cycle.

It can last from early spring to late autumn of the year.

However, with the daily accumulation of toxins, the bones of those who take the drug will be corroded and softened.

Eventually it turned into a puddle of mud, unable to walk or move.

In his sober consciousness, he felt his vitality gradually disappearing, eventually melting into a pool of blood.

The Third Madam spent huge sums of money to inflict such evil and sinister poison on Liu Nianyin. It can be said that she took great pains.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Nianyin contracted a cold and was unable to function well for half a year.

On the contrary, my body became weaker and weaker every day, and I often kept coughing in the middle of the night.

But Liu Nianyin was busy taking care of the affairs of the village every day and didn't even take this into consideration.

If she knew, her little mother secretly gave her this deadly poison.

It is estimated that before the toxins accumulate to the limit, they will be so angry that they will vomit blood on the spot.

Lu Yuan read carefully for a while, and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Ju'er, is that all?"

"Why don't you have any information about Liu Nianyin's martial arts?"

According to Lan Lin, Liu Nianyin's personal force should be extremely terrifying.

Even possessing magic powers similar to demons.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to help Kanglan Dante massacre their Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

"that's it."

Lingju shrugged and said, "All the information I gathered is here."

"There is no evidence that Miss Yuli Zhuang is capable of martial arts."

Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully, it was not impossible.

After all, that Lan Lin is a liar.

He could even lie about his identity as a slave and call him Young Master Yuli Zhuang.

What can't he do if he casually framed the third young lady as the person who killed his father?

"Ju'er, what do you think we should do next?"

Lu Yuan touched his chin and thought, "Miss Third has been taking Chunqiu Cartilage Powder for so long. If it is stopped from now on, will her life be in danger?"

"If so, what antidote should we give her to save her life?"

"And the third lady, how can we make her show her fox tail?"

"I don't believe that Liu Lian will remain indifferent after knowing that his wife poisoned his daughter!"

Faced with Lu Yuan's "shameless questioning", Lingju's face was filled with impatience.

"Are you one hundred thousand whys?"

"I'm not Yu Ruyi, the one who makes all your wishes come true. Who should you ask?"

After saying that, Lingju didn't hesitate and turned into blue light and disappeared.

Lu Yuan felt helpless and immediately had to quietly go to the study.

"Feng Wu, Feng Wu, are you there?"

"Sir, are you back?"

Feng Wu appeared from an ancient book and said with a smile, "Not bad, you did as I said."

"Yeah, but I didn't get the results I expected. Instead, I almost got into a lot of trouble."

Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, "You little girl, are you sure I can achieve the purpose of this trip in Biwu Courtyard?"

"of course."

Feng Wu said without hesitation, "It's just that your goal is more difficult to achieve. It's impossible to gain something directly like digging potatoes or pulling out radishes."

"There is a time in life that you must have, but there is a time in life that you don't have to force."

"Going to Biwu Courtyard tonight is like turning the clockwork, and the gears of fate will naturally start to turn."

Lu Yuan was a little puzzled. He looked like a child, but when he spoke, he was full of the air and temperament of a magician.

This little girl is indeed the embodiment of Liu Bowen's poems, and her whole body is full of sourness.

"Okay, then I want to ask you another question."

Lu Yuan said seriously, "Now, Yu Lizhuang is fighting for the right to succeed, and there is an undercurrent surging."

"Can you divine who will become the new owner of Yuli Village after Liu Lian's funeral?"

"Is it the eldest son Liu Gu, the third young lady Liu Nianyin, or the youngest son Liu Lin?"

"Well, good question."

Feng Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and puffed up his cheeks slightly.

"Don't worry, let me help you figure it out..."

I saw her holding the magic formula with both hands and muttering something in her mouth.

After a moment, as if he saw the future, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, that's it."

Feng Wu said mysteriously, "The person in charge of Yuli Village is not Liu Gu, Liu Nianyin, or Liu Lin."

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan looked interested, "Who is that?"

Feng Wu fixed his eyes on Lu Yuan and said with a smile, "It's far in the horizon, but it's close in front of you."

"You...you're talking about me?"

Lu Yuan pointed at himself, his face suddenly full of disbelief.

Not because of belief or disbelief.

In fact, Feng Wu's calculation was too bold.

Although it is really easy to forcefully occupy Yuli Village with one's own energy.

However, it is extraordinary that Feng Wu can deduce these.

Besides, why would he, the noble eldest son, lower his status to become the owner of Yuli Village?

Could it be that Liu Nianyin took charge of Yuli Village with his help.

He took Liu Nianyin away casually, so he actually took control of Yuli Village.

Ok……

It's not impossible.

Immediately, Lu Yuan did not act too hastily, nor did he rush to tell Feng Wu that he wanted to take her in.

My days in Biwuyuan have just begun.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to slowly confirm and see if this little girl's divination is accurate.

……

In the blink of an eye, in the early morning of the next day, the sky became misty and bright.

After learning that Zheng Jingshan was knocked unconscious by a gourd, the third lady was horrified.

Immediately, Hong Jin was summoned, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Hong Jin, please explain to me, what is going on?!" "I ordered you to serve Mr. Zheng, and this is how you serve?!"

"Madam, I..."

Hongjin suppressed her fear and lowered her head, saying bitterly, "I have been with the madam for many years, how dare I disobey the madam's orders?"

"It's just that I wasn't the one who caused Mr. Zheng to be injured..."

"I know, of course you don't have the courage."

The third lady narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a sneer, "As far as I know, it was Liu Yuan who sneaked into Biwu Courtyard last night, right?"

"Okay, very good."

"I'll go and question Liu Nianyin later."

"Liu Yuan is her servant. Without her instructions, he would never dare to cause such a big disaster."

"But for being so disrespectful to Mr. Zheng, does she want the entire Yuli Village to be buried with him?!"

Listening to the third lady's calculations, Hong Jin hurriedly said, "Madam, wait!"

"This matter may not be that simple!"

"how?"

The third lady frowned and said, "Is there any hidden secret that you haven't told?"

"It is indeed Liu Yuan who attacked Mr. Zheng last night."

Hong Jin said weakly, "But there seems to be something wrong with that Liu Yuan."

"Something's wrong?"

The third lady suddenly became even more suspicious, "What's wrong?"

Immediately, Hong Jin told her exactly what Lu Yuan taught her last night.

To be precise, she didn't lie.

Just tell me everything you see.

"You mean... that Liu Yuan not only calls himself 'we', but also doesn't shy away from saying the emperor's name?"

The third lady said in astonishment, "Moreover, Mr. Zheng actually knelt down in front of him and called him the king..."

"He Liu Yuan is just a slave of our family!"

"By the way, that Liu Yuan also wrote a poem."

Hong Jin suddenly thought of something and said, "It's just that the poem seemed to be of low quality, so I didn't tell it to Madam."

"What poem?"

The third lady felt anxious and hurriedly ordered, "Tell me quickly and make sure it is word for word!"

Immediately, Hong Jin told the third lady truthfully the poem written by Lu Yuan on the wall.

"The rooster crows once and pouts once, the rooster crows twice and pouts twice..."

"Call out the Fusang Sun three times and sweep away the remaining stars and the dawn moon..."

The third lady murmured and read to herself, trembling with fear.

"Madam, tell me, what is the level of this poor poetry?"

Hong Jin shrugged and said, "It's better than the poems you usually write after drinking."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The third lady scolded and said coldly, "Although this poem sounds relatively simple at first glance, it actually clearly contains a hidden mystery!"

"In the first two sentences, the rooster crows once and pouts once, and the rooster crows twice and pouts twice."

"To a layman, it sounds like it's just a waste of money, but if you really understand poetry, you will clearly feel that there is a soaring ambition like a golden rooster crowing in the morning."

"The next two sentences, calling out the Fusang Sun three times, sweeping away the remaining stars and the dawn moon, fully display the emperor's style and king's spirit!"

"This poem is clearly the "Ode to the Cry of the Cock" written by Lord Hongwu back then!"

"But how did Liu Yuan know that and write it on the wall?"

"Isn't he afraid of losing his head?!"

After talking to herself for a while, the third lady suddenly had an idea in her mind, with a look of panic on her face.

"My God..."

"Could it be that Lord Hong Wu's heroic spirit came down to earth and was placed in Liu Yuan's body to return to the world?"

The third lady said in horror, "If this is true, won't our Yuli Village be in for a big disaster?"

You know, what Lord Hong Wu hates most is that the officials' families make ill-gotten gains and oppress the people and deprive them of their wealth and anointment.

They, Yuli Zhuang, did these things openly and secretly.

This time, Lord Hongwu came to their village through a servant.

He must be planning to start from Zheng Jingshan and start a killing spree!

Immediately, the third lady was at a loss what to do.

He had no choice but to let Hong Jin retreat first, while he went to the main mansion in a panic.

The person who lives in the main mansion is naturally the current owner of Yuli Village, Liu Lian.

Liu Lian was nearly seventy years old, physically weak and sickly, and was bedridden all year round.

Nowadays, in addition to his family members, he kowtows to him every morning.

He is basically a hands-off shopkeeper in name only, and basically doesn't care about anything.

When I came to the house, I saw an old man with pale hair and wrinkled face, lying on the bed and coughing violently.

It was Liu Lian.

Two maids were beside Liu Lian, holding medicine bowls and feeding him medicine with careful and light movements.

The third lady bowed her head and said respectfully, "I would like to extend my regards to the officials."

"Well, you're welcome."

Liu Lian nodded and waved his hand to the maid to leave first.

Then he said calmly, "So Mr. Zheng, how was the reception?"

The third lady forced out an ugly smile: "It's... okay."

"In the past few days, Nianyin has been basically responsible for receiving him."

"Well, you must be careful and treat well."

Liu Lian warned seriously, "This Liu Lian is the only son of Zheng Mikang, the governor of Chuzhou."

"Zheng Mikang has been extremely doting on him since he was a child. He will try his best to fulfill any request he makes casually."

"He is a guest in our Yuli village this time. If we don't entertain him well, our village will be doomed!"

The third lady hesitated for a moment and said bitterly, "Master, there is something I dare not hide from you."

"Then Mr. Zheng... we have already offended him once."

Liu Lian was slightly startled and said angrily, "What did you say?!"

"If I didn't ask Nianyin to entertain Zheng Jingshan carefully and meet all his demands, how could I get into trouble?"

Immediately, the third lady told Liu Lian exactly what Hong Jin had just reported to her.

I heard that Lu Yuan seemed to be possessed by Lord Hongwu, saying a lot of strange things, and even wrote a song "Crowing Rooster" on the wall.

Liu Lian instantly trembled with shock. His body, which was originally like a piece of rotten wood, actually sat up from the bed like a spring, as scary as a corpse.

As the son of Liu Bowen, he was almost scared out of his mind by Master Hong Wu when he was young.

Liu Lian experienced the entire four major Hongwu cases and witnessed hundreds of thousands of people being beheaded.

At the same time, since the establishment of Liegan, Lord Hongwu and Liu Bowen have been at odds with each other for many years.

Liu Bowen wanted to resign from his official position and return to his hometown to recuperate.

But Master Hongwu insisted on not letting him go, and tried every means to force him to stay.

After going back and forth like this, the battle between the two became almost a well-known anecdote both inside and outside the court.

As for Liu Lian, being caught between these two extremely smart people, it can be said that his life is miserable every day.

He risks losing his head every day to convey his father's wishes to Lord Hong Wu.

And many times, Lord Hongwu would get furious.

Threatening Liu Bowen by sending him to jail and beating him up.

It means that when gods fight, mortals suffer. (End of chapter)
