Chapter 428 Perfect fit
There are not so many coincidences in the world, they are all calculated.
Zhang Jin from Xiaowangzhuang lured Wei Dajun into gambling and forced Wei Dajun to take all the villagers out. This can also be said that outsiders took a fancy to the wealth of Broken Gold Beach and began to covet it...
But now that the Gong family siblings have appeared again, and the person behind them is also related to the casino, it is certain that someone is targeting the Li family and the entire Broken Gold Beach!
“The gangster named Liu, which casino is his cousin at? Do you know his name?” Li Zhensheng asked coldly.
Gong Yunshu quickly shook his head, "I don't know, but many people in the town know that a few families lost all their family fortunes because they were taken to the casino by someone named Liu."
Jiayin watched from the side as Mrs. Li looked unhappy. She was afraid that grandma would be angry, so she ran over and hugged grandma's thigh.
Sure enough, Mrs. Li held her granddaughter and sat on her lap, and her expression softened a bit.
She thought for a while and asked, "If Miss Gong confesses to our family today, she has betrayed the person who ordered her. Aren't you afraid of what they will do to your grandma?"
Gong Yunshu smiled bitterly, and hugged his brother more tightly, "My grandma's heart now only wants to restore the prosperity of the Gong family and let others respect her and compliment her as before. She doesn't care about my brother's life or death at all.
“Before, I tried to push me into the pit of fire over and over again. As a grandmother, I was really unkind. Now I have taken the initiative to conspire with my uncle to force us into Broken Gold Beach to harm others. This is unjust.
"When my grandfather and father were alive, they often said that as a human being, you must distinguish right from wrong, do something and do something not to do, otherwise you are no different from a pig or a dog. The Li family kindly saved the lives of our siblings, but we will bear the charge of unfilial piety all our lives. You can’t repay kindness with enmity.”
The words were so sensible that most of Mrs. Li's anger disappeared. Looking at Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er who also nodded lightly, she said: "Get up, the ground is cold and you are still injured!"
Isn’t it their fault?
Gong Yunshu's eyes were red, and he led his younger brother to kowtow again. When he wanted to get up, he stumbled and almost hit the edge of the Kang because of numbness in his legs and loss of strength.
Li Laoer subconsciously gave her a hand, and when she stood firm, he hugged Gong Yu onto the kang.
Li Zhensheng looked at the Marquis and said: "Master Hou, I only sent two old servants to Qingmu Town. I'm afraid it's not enough. If the Marquis has any capable people to lend me three or four, I will go and check it out personally." We might even arrest people and bring them back..."
The Marquis nodded and said: "I will go directly back to the dock camp tomorrow. I won't need so many soldiers. You can deploy as many as you want."
"Well, I'll leave now." Mr. Li stood up and told his younger brother and his wife, "You should be more careful at home and wait for my news before handling everything."
“Okay, please be safe.”
Mrs. Li is worried about her son, but she also knows that she is helping her son if she doesn't hold him back at this time.
Li Zhensheng went out immediately and saw that there were twenty or thirty soldiers of the Marquis, so he ordered six and rushed to Qingmu Town overnight.
The Marquis saw Jiayin yawning, so he hugged her and left first.
Mrs. Li was left looking at the Gong siblings with complicated expressions. Finally, she sighed and said, "You'd better recover from your injuries first, and we'll wait until our family investigates everything. But you can't leave this house, and there will always be someone watching over you.
“Also, if you think about it again, if there is anything else that has not been explained clearly, if you think of it, ask someone to report it...”
After saying that, she glanced at Aunt He. After both Aunt He and Shui Ling nodded, she got up and went out with Mr. Li.
Grandma He and Shui Ling quickly heated up the medicinal soup. Shui Ling was cautious, but she was slapped twice by Grandma He and asked, "Do you still dare to run out to watch the fun in the future?"
"I don't dare," Shui Ling also regretted it and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I didn't know they were bad people. I thought they couldn't go to the ground..." Nanny He glared at her and warned: "From now on. As the master's family becomes more and more prosperous, there may be more and more people with bad intentions like this. Masters can be kind-hearted, but we can't! We are the eyes and ears of the master, and we would rather offend others. Be careful, understand?"
“I understand, I understand!” Shui Ling nodded vigorously, almost shaking her hair.
Grandma He didn't say anything and brought the medicinal soup in.
The Gong siblings drank the medicine and fell asleep quietly soon.
Mammy He and Shui Ling watched the oil lamp and did sewing for a while, and then fell asleep.
In the yard next door, Jiayin stayed with her grandma. She heard her sighing from time to time, and knowing that grandma was in a bad mood, she secretly took two apples and pulled her to lie on the bed to eat them secretly.
The sour and sweet apple made Mrs. Li feel much better. She smiled when she saw her granddaughter holding the fruit like a little hamster and chewing the fruit with juice all over her face.
She sighed softly, "That's all, this is the way the world is. Do your duty well and live up to your conscience, and you can't care about the rest."
Jiayin pounced on her, and the smiling grandma had a sticky face, which made Mrs. Li disgusted. She quickly found a wet handkerchief to wipe her granddaughter's face. The two rinsed their mouths again, and then fell asleep next to each other.
Besides, Li Zhensheng and his people rushed to Qingmu Town overnight, and it was almost dawn.
There is only one inn in Qingmu Town. Li Zhensheng found Li Fuer and his wife when he entered.
The couple came here on an excuse to look for relatives. Seeing that they were honest and willing to spend money, they had already asked a lot of things from the innkeeper and the waiter. They wanted to go home this morning to report the news, but the owner came.
There was no one on the second floor of the inn. Li Zhensheng opened a room and talked to Li Fuler and his wife without anyone else knowing.
Li Fu'er is a bit clumsy, but his wife is pretty good, and she spoke clearly to Li Zhensheng from beginning to end.
“My boss, we are pretending to be looking for a bride, so we say that my wife is not married, and there is no news about my sister who got married many years ago, so we plan to look for her.
“When the inn boy heard that we were looking for the Gong family, he secretly advised us not to make any noise about it. We gave us money, and he told us in private that something had happened to the Gong family and everyone was dead.
“It seems that a few years ago, the scholar master of the Gong family was robbed of his property by evil people and died. The scholar’s wife also committed suicide along with him. The old master of the Gong family was hit and died of illness!
“The old lady of the Gong family has been crazy about finding a good match for her granddaughter in the past two years. She has offended many relatives and friends for this. The relatives of the Gong family are not good people either. They are all trying to steal the family property.
"The previous paragraph said that the old lady of the Gong family also passed away. Not long after, the grandchildren of the Gong family disappeared. On the contrary, the faces of the nephews of the Gong family were glowing every day. Everyone guessed that the grandchildren of the Gong family had been killed. ”
Li Zhensheng nodded, these are in perfect agreement with Gong Yunshu's words.
He asked again, "Did your inquiring about the Gong family's affairs arouse others' suspicion?"
"No, after hearing this, we said we were looking for the wrong one. My brother-in-law is not a scholar." Li Fu's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "The young man was happy for us. He said that the Gong family's affairs were just a pool of muddy water and no one dared to care about it. ”
