Chapter 664: Responsibilities of the eldest grandson
Brother Li and Brother Mao rushed out. When they saw their father, they hugged him and refused to let go, like naughty children who had been bullied.
“Dad, wuwu, I’m scared, these people are bullying us, I want to go home, I miss my grandma!”
"Dad, they jumped in from the window with knives. It's terrible."
Lu Zong and Jia Xu, who were following closely behind them, slipped and almost fell to their knees.
Half of the blood on their feet was the work of these two boys.
They are obviously two tigers, but when they see their father, they turn into well-behaved lambs? !
Li Zhensheng hugged his son and comforted him repeatedly, "Don't be afraid, dad is always outside. If he hears something bad, he will lead someone to rush up to him."
"You have done a good job just now, but when it comes to risking your life, you must be ruthless. Only the dead can ensure that they do not hurt others."
At this time, the official had already checked the house and arrested the boy.
It turns out that it was no coincidence that the young guy was working as an inside agent. This group of thieves lived next door to his house!
The thieves knew that Jiaren and others had settled here, so they took advantage of the situation and hired a young man to act as an internal agent.
Wang Captou immediately went back to the government office to find help, and in the dim light of dawn, he ran to dig out the thief's lair.
In the room, four corpses were also carried downstairs.
The shopkeeper had just woken up, but when he saw this posture, he tilted his head and fainted again...
He really didn’t want to face this miserable situation soberly.
Li Zhensheng opened three rooms in another inn diagonally opposite. It was here last night that he and the officials waited and paid close attention.
At this moment, he took the children over.
Bringing clean clothes from the ship, the Jiaren brothers all changed.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu did not participate in the fight, and they were not dirty.
Only the soles of the shoes were stained with blood, so the boy took them off and brushed them before wearing them.
As soon as he finished his work, Liu Yang smiled and carried a food box, delivered several portions of white porridge, vegetarian steamed buns, and a plate of pickled cucumbers.
He was also waiting outside last night. When he heard that everything was fine, he went to buy breakfast.
Although his surname is Liu, he and the Li brothers have worn the same pair of trousers since childhood.
At this moment, Brother Li and Brother Cat both ran to hug him.
He said: "I know you showed off your power last night, and you will be able to brag about it for half a year after you go home. You guys eat first, and I will rush to tell Jiayi that he is guarding the fleet. Maybe he is thinking about this, and his eyebrows are so anxious. It's going to be on fire."
Brother Li and Brother Mao then let them go, and Liu Yang quickly hurried back to the dock.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu were also invited to the table to eat.
This night was quite thrilling. It not only consumed our energy, but also our physical strength. When the crisis was over, the boys' stomachs were all growling with hunger.
So they gathered around the porridge and steamed buns, lowered their heads and ate.
Li Zhensheng sat aside and looked at them with a smile, without urging or asking questions.
Until the boys had eaten and drank enough, and the panic in their brows and eyes had faded, he said, "Jiaren, tell us everything from beginning to end, without leaving out even a single detail."
Jiaren nodded and talked from the moment they got off the boat until just now.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu were ashamed.
Jia Xu was the initiator of this big trouble when his money was exposed.
Lu Zong agreed to let the secret guards take action, but in the end he let the Jiaren brothers bear all the risks. Both of them apologized quickly and sincerely.
Li Zhensheng did not blame them, nor could he blame them.
After all, they are all academy students, just peers, not descendants of the Li family.
He waved his hand and said a few polite words, then turned to Jiaren and asked with a cold face: "Have you reflected on this matter? Do you know where you handled it improperly?"
Jiaren nodded, stood up and stood beside his uncle respectfully with his hands lowered, and said: "Uncle, I have reflected on this matter. I was reckless and took my brothers into danger.
"Yesterday, knowing that this group of people might retaliate, I should have taken my brothers back to the fleet. I should not have stayed behind, thinking that we were armed, and rashly facing a group of desperadoes.
“First of all, I am not familiar with them and cannot know myself and the enemy well, so the countermeasures I formulate must have variables.
“Secondly, I shouldn’t place my greatest reliance on others. If there is a problem with such reliance, my life will not be guaranteed.
“I will never be so reckless in the future. I will always put safety first and act prudently.”
Li Zhensheng's face became much better now, he nodded slightly and said, "Speaking of which, I can't blame you. Being young and vigorous is inevitable.
“Back then, I was also ignorant of the world and insisted on traveling to study. I wandered for more than ten years, causing my family to suffer.
“But from now on, you must always remember that you are the eldest grandson of the third generation of our family. The family’s foundation depends on you, and the six brothers and one sister must rely on you as the eldest brother.
“Your decision is likely to affect the rise and fall of the entire family. Therefore, the family does not ask you to make achievements, but only wants you to learn the word ‘stability’.
“Think twice before you act, make decisions before you act, and never take risks if you are not completely sure. Today’s lesson must be remembered, and there must be no next time!”
"Uncle, I have made a note of it and will never do it again in the future." Jiaren lowered his head and solemnly responded.
Brother Li and Brother Mao were reluctant to bear the punishment of their eldest brother, so they quickly stepped forward to apologize together.
Brother Li said: "Dad, I made a mistake too. I shouldn't let my eldest brother bear the responsibility alone."
Brother Cat was also jumping up and down, shouting, "Dad, it's all my fault. I was the one who made my eldest brother stay to watch the dragon boat!"
Li Zhensheng glared at his two sons and scolded: "If you don't jump out, I won't forget you. Brother Li hit too hard yesterday. If you kick up the fake corpse, you can comfort him with money in time."
"These charlatans won't be too embarrassed, so they won't kill you all, so there won't be this disaster!"
“And Brother Cat, you have strongly requested me to come out this time. Whether it’s good or not, you have to grit your teeth and hold on, and you can’t say anything about going home.
"You are now old enough. You have to learn to bear the cost of your choices. Your brothers are already trying their best to protect you. You can't take their protection for granted and you can't hide behind them all your life. Do you understand?"
Brother Li and Brother Mao both shrank their necks and nodded quickly, not daring to argue a word.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu listened, feeling guilty and envious.
Their fathers and elders will also teach them, but they will not break it into pieces and distinguish it in detail.
Although Li Zhensheng had a cold face and a stern tone, anyone could hear his concern and love.
Li Zhensheng didn't know what they thought, so he continued to teach his children, "Tell me, how should we deal with the aftermath of this matter?"
Brother Li and Brother Mao both looked at Jiaren, as if they were following the lead of their eldest brother.
Jiaren thought for a while and said: "Over at the Yamen, if we arrest someone, we will definitely be able to find out something, which is considered a credit. Let's do some more work at home and we can end it."
"As for the inn, let's pay fifty taels of silver. After all, their guy acted as an internal agent and led the wolf into the house, and he was wrong in the first place. These fifty taels are purely a moral help from us."
Li Zhensheng nodded and wanted to say something, but the head catcher Wang came over. When he entered the door, he burst out laughing, cupped his hands and thanked him.
