“I wonder who did it?”
The old man's eyes were fierce, and veins bulged on the hand holding the cane. No matter what the purpose was, preventing the dead from being buried peacefully was undoubtedly a slap in the face of his Li family!
Especially now, the old man of the Li family passed away and the new head of the family has just taken over. The heads of the various industries of the Li family are in a panic, and the partners are also watching coldly.
If the new head of the family can't even handle such a small matter, how can his Li family gain a foothold in Renjia Town!
You have to know that the largest surname in Renjia Town is Ren, and people there have lived here for generations. They all have the same ancestor for several generations, and even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected. It is naturally very difficult for people with other surnames to gain a foothold here!
The old man's eyes were cold, "Uncle Jiu, just say it, don't worry, my Li family may not be considered a wealthy family, but it is not something that anyone can bully!"
His eyes were sharp and his aura was menacing. He didn't look any older than he did just now. He didn't show any signs of old age at all. Instead, he looked even more majestic.
Over the years, he and his brother have built such a huge family business. How could it be possible without some drastic measures
Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment, first looked at Master Li's coffin, then looked at the people in the hall, stayed at Li Chengqi for a few seconds, then turned around, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly there, and didn't say a word.
The old man seemed to be thinking about something, his expression turned a little ugly, he raised the cane in his hand, and then dropped it heavily to the ground.
"Why don't you youngsters go down and prepare for the burial on time? Don't miss the good time!"
"Uncle!"
Several people exclaimed in surprise, their faces showing difficulty, not because they didn't want to bury Old Master Li in peace.
It was really scary. In this world where ghosts and monsters were rampant, they had heard of some taboos.
If it is not handled properly, there may be unrest in the family in the future, and there may even be no descendants and the whole family may be exterminated!
"Uncle Jiu is still the most powerful Taoist priest in our town. He is one of the few in the whole province. Why worry about such a small matter?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The old man looked somewhat unhappy, what a bunch of good-for-nothings who couldn't understand other people's expressions, he scolded them.
"Retreat quickly!"
Everyone then came to their senses, bowed quickly, and left the hall in an orderly manner.
"It's a success!"
The people in front left one by one, and when it was Li Chengqi's turn, the old man called him.
Li Chengqi stiffened his body, turned around slowly, and looked less panicked. "Uncle, what do you want me to say?"
Several youngsters deliberately slowed down their pace, with their ears perked up, wanting to listen to something.
"The two Taoist priests are here, as the elder, why don't you go and make some tea!"
Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, thanks to my uncle for reminding me, I actually forgot about this important matter."
He walked quickly to the table nearby, picked up the teapot, and gently brewed tea. The younger generation also left the hall with disappointment in their eyes.
The old man looked up at Uncle Jiu, who still didn't say anything. He glanced around the hall again. In addition to Li Chengqi, there was Taoist Simu and a little child.
He looked at Russell, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "What a handsome young man!"
If there hadn't been a funeral in the family, he really wanted to pull Uncle Jiu aside to chat and talk about whether Russell was engaged.
What a cute little doll!
The old man looked at the servant standing silently in the hall, and said in a somewhat grim tone, "Go outside and guard your mouth. Don't let me hear things I shouldn't hear, otherwise!"
He looked like he was crying. "My brother left alone and felt very lonely. It would be good to send a few more people to accompany him."
The servants were so frightened that they trembled and dared not breathe.
They were all people who had sold themselves to the Li family during the disaster years, some for several generations, and had signed indentures, even though the government had issued a clear ban on taking people as slaves.
But rules are dead, and people are alive.
If selling yourself into slavery is not allowed, then don't sell yourself. Sign a 50-year long-term contract and get paid every year.
The government can’t do anything about it.
If you say things you shouldn't say, see things you shouldn't see, do things you shouldn't do, and die in a mass grave, that's normal.
As the saying goes, killing someone means paying with your life. In this chaotic era, as long as the people don't report it and the officials don't investigate, they can just bury the person in the moonlight and the dust will settle quietly.
Although being a slave or a servant has some risks, at least you have food to eat, a place to rest, and hope in life. This is better than fleeing from famine and begging for food, and having no fixed place to live.
Having food to eat, clothes to wear, a place to sleep, and fields to farm, this is the dream of their generation.
It's true that people become more sophisticated as they get older!
Seeing that the old man had arranged everything properly, Uncle Jiu nodded with satisfaction, walked directly to Old Master Li's coffin, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the man's neck, and twisted it!
“Crack!”
The sound was particularly loud, and Russell couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard it.
He remembered one thing: when his uncle Jiu was disgusted with him for being naughty, he would pinch the back of his neck with his right hand and carry him while walking.
I never expected that Uncle Jiu had such great strength in his hands!
Seeing the man's neck cracking from being twisted, Russell couldn't help but touch his own neck, feeling a chill on the back.
Thank you, Master, for not killing me!
Uncle Jiu had a blank expression on his face as he continued to torture the man's neck. The old man just watched silently by the side without saying a word.
Li Chengqi slowly put down the teapot in his hand, his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground with a blank expression and his head drooped.
"well!"
The old man sighed. Although he had expected this, he still felt a little uncomfortable at this point!
This is my nephew. Even if he is a useless person, I watched him grow up and I call him uncle.
Uncle Jiu snorted, exerted force with his hands, and directly removed the man's jaw. A ball of yellow light flew out of the man's mouth and flew out of the hall.
"Hey! Waiting for you!"
Simu stretched out his hand quickly, and Russell suddenly felt a chill on his butt. He looked down and saw that his pants had been taken off.
"Um!"
Simu waved his hand and directly covered the yellow light. With another wave of his hand, his pants were wrapped around several layers, tightly entangling the thing. The thing kept ramming and couldn't break free.
Russell covered his bare little butt and looked at Simu with a resentful look. No wonder this guy wanted to hug him just now.
He thought Simu had changed his temper and knew that he was short, so he picked him up so that he could see him more clearly.
I never expected that he harbored such evil intentions, huh!
Uncle Jiu walked over and looked at the naked Russell and Little Russell, and couldn't help but cough dryly.
Junior brother, you’ve gone too far!
Hahaha!
