Li's mother, Yang, had been guarding outside the yamen, and she had already known the news of the verdict. Seeing Li Weiguo helping Li Yanming come out safely, she cried with joy.

The unjust case was revealed, and the family of three was naturally happy, and they opened the dark clouds to see the light of the sky.

Many people around her congratulate her, most of whom were old people who worked in the Li family. Most of them were kicked out of the Li family and lost their jobs when they suffered a disaster. Now that the Li family's injustice is clear, these servants who are loyal to the Li family will naturally regain their jobs and even use them, and they will be happy.

"Xiao Liuzi, what I told you before has been done?" As soon as Li Yanming came out, he asked a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Li Weiguo recognized this person, named Zhang Xiaoliu, who was the nephew of Lao Yang, the housekeeper of the Li family. His parents died since childhood. Lao Yang adopted him and treated him like his own son.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoliu stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Master, Xiaoliuzi naturally did the things you ordered. As soon as the master was arrested that day, I secretly took away all the property deeds of the Li family and handed them over to my uncle for safekeeping. Those members of the Li family couldn't find them no matter how hard they looked for them. They forced me to ask my uncle and me many times, but we didn't reveal a word."

"Very good!" Li Yanming nodded. He was still very at ease with the butler Lao Yang and Zhang Xiaoliuzi. Among all the servants of the Li family, only the two of them are the most trustworthy, and the facts proved that this is true.

After hearing this, Li Weiguo couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaoliuzi more. Seeing that his face was bruised and he limped while walking, he immediately guessed that he must have been beaten a lot these days.

Li Weiguo nodded slightly, and he would also like those who are loyal to the Li family in the future.

Li Yanming was most afraid that the Li family would sell his property, so he was able to secretly hide the property deeds. Now that he knew that all the property and land deeds were there, he felt relieved.

After letting go of his worries, Li Yanming asked Li Weiguo what he had talked to Lu Jianying in the back hall.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Then Lu Jianying and Wu Liang were just on orders. The people who wanted to deal with the Li family should be some important officials in the court. They are mortal enemies with Sister Shanxiang's father, Uncle Fu Yang. It doesn't count if Uncle Fu Yang is destroyed. They also have to suppress all the people related to him and eliminate the roots. They are really mean and useless."

"So that's it. I should have expected that there was a big problem with Fu Shanxiang's family!" Li Yanming sighed. He was too careless at the beginning and did not know that the power struggle in the court would be so cruel.

Li Weiguo did not tell his father about the fierce game between Lu Jianying in the back hall, because he guessed that Lu Jianying must not be so kind, and was afraid that he would give him some sweetness to lure him into an unknown trap step by step. He didn't want his father to worry, so he didn't mention it.

Li Yanming asked: "Then what are you going to do next?"

Li Weiguo snorted coldly and said, "Who dares to assassinate our family, the child will not let them go. Wu Liang and Lu Jianying are just two small fish. I will not move them for now, and I will stabilize the people behind them to prevent the other party from taking risks and fighting with us. When the child has the strength, he will definitely come to the door and let them taste the taste of going to prison and wandering on the streets."

Li Yanming nodded and smiled kindly, "You have grown up and are very pleased for your father. Remember not to show your sharpness when you are full of wings. You must know that keeping your strength and keeping a low profile is the king."

"Yes, the child has been taught!" Li Weiguo replied, not expecting that his father was quite wise.

Li Yanming was very satisfied with his son's performance. He glanced at a large group of foreign soldiers with live ammunition behind him. He asked worriedly: "What are you going to deal with the clan?"

Seeing his father's expression, Li Weiguo mentioned the Li family clan again. He didn't understand what it meant. He smiled and said, "They were very hateful. I was going to kill him, but according to his father's attitude, he didn't want to touch them, so the child knew that he would only punish them slightly and would not harm their lives."

Li Yanming immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It is best if you can think like this. After all, you can't write the word "Li" in one stroke. You have grown up and have your own judgment. I am very pleased with your father. Please worry more about the future of the Li family."

"Yes!" Li Weiguo smiled bitterly. If his father knew that he was planning to sell the various industries of the Li family at this moment, he would probably be so angry that he would beat him up with a feather duster immediately.

Li’s mother, Yang, knew very well about feudal etiquette, so she never interrupted. It was not until the father and son finished their business that they said: “My son is now a big deal, so he may have to go to Shanghai. You should do other things here, so don’t drag your son down.”

"What do women know? After all, foreigners are outsiders and are unreliable. This time our Li family is saved and owes foreigners favors, and they will come to repay them." Li Yanming frowned, shouted softly, and turned to Li Weiguo, and said seriously: "Foreigners are taboos by the court. It is better for Weiguo to separate their relationship with them as soon as possible. You are still young, study hard and get a fame in the future. It is worthy of the ancestors of the Li family."

"My father taught me a lesson!" Li Weiguo nodded mechanically, a little helpless. This is the ancient rule. The rule of the king is the subject of the minister, the father is the subject of the son, and the husband is the subject of the wife. The rules of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are extremely strict and cannot be violated.

My father looks like an old feudal. If my son does something that shocks the world and makes ghosts cry in the future, my father will probably be the first to jump out to stop him. What would he do?

It seems that from now on, I have been constantly instilling anti-feudal ideas in my father, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything in the future.

"The child is just temporarily using foreigners to be silly with them. When the child has his own foundation, he will naturally not be with them." Li Weiguo replied. From now on, he had already begun to plot against his father in his heart.

"This is the best!" Li Yanming nodded and continued, "Well, what are your plans? Tell me out and help you with references to my father and see if I can help you."

Li Weiguo's eyes rolled. He didn't want to stay in Jiangning. After all, the Taiping Army would come here soon. So he was thinking about how to lie to my father to sell the Li family's property and leave Jiangning with him. As a result, my father fell into trouble. It was really God's help.

"I'm not hiding my father, the child plans to donate a Taoist official position to his father, so that he will have a say in case of lawsuits in the future. At least officials like Wu Liang dare not tell his father to arrest him if he wants to arrest him. However, I heard that it needs 16,000 taels of silver. And the child himself also wants to do a big career. If he wants to be a county magistrate, he may also need hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Li Yanming sighed and said with emotion: "At first, others advised to donate an official position to their father, but the father didn't listen and thought it was useless. Now after this difficulty, the father understood that if he had no rights, he could not protect himself and his family, let alone property. He worked hard to save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he took away all the words of the official."

Li Weiguo observed his words and thoughts, and knew that his father had a lot of feelings after this disaster. He happened to be on the iron while the iron was hot and he lobbled: "Yes, in this world, rich families either spend money to seek back-end protection with authority or become officials and protect themselves. Our family has suffered this great loss now."

Sure enough, Li Yanming made a decision after being so aroused by Li Weiguo and said, "That's right, my son is still looking at the long term. We will also donate a Taoist priest. Although it is just a reputation title, as long as Wu Liang is suppressed, he can also exasperate his anger for his father. But if you want to donate a county magistrate, I'm afraid that no matter how much money we spend, we won't be able to spend."

Li Weiguo hurriedly said: "Don't worry, father, you have your own way to get the actual shortage, but it only costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'm afraid..."

"I don't have to worry about this!" Li Yanming said firmly: "As long as you can ensure that you get real shortcomings, even if you sell all our industries."

Just waiting for your words!

Li Weiguo was secretly happy and hurriedly said, "That child thanks my father. It's not too late. I'll go to contact me now."

After saying that, Li Weiguo couldn't wait to leave, as if he was afraid that Li Yanming would regret it.

"There is no need to be so anxious, right?" Li Yanming was confused.

Yang just smiled slightly and said, "My son has grown up and has his own opinions. Master, please feel free to let him do it."

Li Yanming nodded, thinking that the death situation that even he himself could not solve these days was actually solved by his son. This was a manifestation of his ability, which made him happy and relieved, but he didn't know that it was his son who had planned it.

Li Weiguo took Zhang Xiaoliu and several elderly people from the Li family to the Li family's pillar industry, Zuixianlou, as soon as possible, and wanted to take over there. At the same time, he sent people to contact the wealthy merchants in Jiangning, saying that he wanted to leave Duizuixianlou.

Zuixianlou is one of the top large restaurants in Jiangning. It has a three-story building and is magnificent. It has been run by Li Yanming and his wife. After more than ten years, it has made a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which has created the Li family's status as one of the richest people in Jiangning.

Standing at the entrance of the Zuixian Tower, Li Weiguo remembered the sad expression of his mother when he was passing by with his mother that day, and his mother was still vivid in his mind, making him unforgettable.

"Isn't this Xiao Liuzi? Why haven't I been beaten enough yet, I'm here to find a beating again, right?" A man walked out of the door and said with a smile on his face.

"Chang San, you bastard. I remember you for the rest of my life when you humiliated that day. Today I will get all my money and interests back." Zhang Xiaoliu gritted his teeth. There was still bruises on his face, and he was beaten by Chang San and his gang.

It is said that Chang San is the slave of Li Yanming's cousin. As the Li family's direct clan occupied the Zuixianlou, he also became the manager here. He had to teach those disobedient people a lesson, and Zhang Xiaoliu was one of them.

"Just because you still have those few people, you want to take revenge? What a joke! Since you want to be beaten, I will fulfill your wish." Chang San sneered, swept Li Weiguo standing aside and a team of foreign soldiers behind him. He didn't recognize the other party, thinking that he was just passing by and watching the fun, and he didn't care. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen big men rushed out behind him.

Zhang Xiaoliu suffered a loss once and knew that his strength could not defeat these people at all. He immediately ran back to Li Weiguo and shouted: "Young Master, help me!"

Li Weiguo was speechless. He wanted to see the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xiaoliu and others, but he never thought that the boy would start calling for help before he started fighting. He rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly, and he would not sit idly by. He waved his hand and two teams of foreign soldiers behind him quickly surrounded Chang San and others with guns.

In the sun, the bright bayonet was chilling, and the black muzzle seemed to be killing people in the next moment. This sudden change immediately ruined Chang San and others. They had never seen such a formation. They were so scared that their calves cramped and shouted that they were willing to spare their lives. Even the people around them were watching the fun were rioting for a while, and finally hid in the distance to continue watching the fun.

Bang!

Zhang Xiaoliu took advantage of Chang San's bowing to the foreign soldiers and begging for mercy and quickly rushed forward and slapped Chang San.

"Damn, how dare you hit me?" Chang San was furious and scolded, and wanted to fight back.

At this time, the two foreign soldiers stepped forward and kicked Chang San to the ground at the same time. Without saying a word, they smashed Chang San's head with a butt, and then they were hit hard in a few strokes.

Chang San screamed in pain and was stunned at the same time. Then he realized that Zhang Xiaoliu was in the same group as these foreign soldiers. He suddenly regretted that his intestines were blue and he shouted for mercy.

"Arrogant, your special code is so arrogant!" Zhang Xiaoliu strengthened his courage and came to Chang San again to scold him loudly, and at the same time he took revenge, kicking Chang San with one left and one right, with his expression satisfying.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoliu pretending to be a tiger with a vile power, Li Weiguo just smiled and didn't stop him. Because of this, whoever dares to bully him would have to take revenge ten or a hundred times. Zhang Xiaoliu is a member of his Li family, and he will naturally have to be bullied by outsiders to get back twice as much.

"You guys also come and see if you are bullied, then go and find them back!"

"Here!"

Several Li family servants who came with Li Weiguo were immediately happy when they heard Li Weiguo's words. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward to take revenge.

Chang San and others dared not resist. They were beaten so hard that they cried and called their parents. Soon they all had bruises and swollen faces, and they were beaten so hard that they could not even recognize their mother.

Zhang Xiaoliu was in power and refused to forgive him. Chang San was beaten to the point where he almost breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, we still have some serious things to do!" Li Weiguo said he could stop him. He also had his own bottom line in life and doing things. Chang San and others were just a group of evil slaves. If they were not guilty, they would just be beaten up and let it go.

"Did you hear it? My young master and I will surround you in a lot of ways, why don't you get out of here?" Zhang Xiaoliu and others also knew the right way, so they stopped immediately, and then came to Li Weiguo happily, with a look of satisfaction.

"I have already helped you out of anger. Why don't you go and find Butler Yang. I have some big things to do!" Li Weiguo ordered.

"Here!" Zhang Xiaoliu took the order and did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly entered the Zuixian Tower to find his uncle, Butler Yang. Li Weiguo was too lazy to climb the stairs, so he took a group of foreign soldiers to find a table on the first floor and sat down and waited.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaoliu's loud shout came from the upstairs, full of grief and anger.

Li Weiguo frowned, stood up and walked upstairs.
