Chapter 190(1/2)
"Fourth Uncle, is this problem with your leg happening again?"
Back in the capital, Li Lin defeated the Pharaoh Monkey and returned to the guard camp. He immediately went to see his fourth uncle Li Hao.
Li Hao put one leg on the sofa and rubbed it vigorously.
"Hey...! After being bombed, I was completely disabled. I used to be able to walk two steps with a crutch, but now! I can only use a wheelchair and be pushed around.
This change of weather will cause severe pain."
Li Hao sighed helplessly. Since the assassination, his legs have been getting worse day by day. Now, even standing up has become a luxury.
"My nephew, I'm going to ask Divine Doctor Li to take a look at you, Fourth Uncle."
"No, sit down! You are marching with your father, and I was sent to the military camp by my eldest brother.
We, the Li family, are not those formal officials, so we don’t need to be constrained by those sour gifts."
Li Hao smiled and greeted Li Lin to sit on the sofa!
"Russia isn't very good either, but there are white bears that are quite rare. I brought two white bear skins back to make mattresses for my fourth uncle."
Li Lin waved his hand, and immediately a follower came in carrying two large packages.
Opening the package, the two men stretched out the bear skin.
Under the light, the huge polar bear skin glows with a faint yellow light.
"Uncle Fourth, these giant bears are called polar bears. They are particularly huge. These two weigh more than a thousand kilograms.
In this place in Middle-earth, we really don’t see such a big man.
The bear's fur looks white during the day, but in fact the bear's fur is transparent.
Wherever you put it, it will match the color of the place.
You see, it's black next to the sofa.
Cut a piece and put it on your legs in winter, it won’t get cold!”
Li Lin waved his hand, and the servant quickly brought the polar bear skin close to the sofa. Li Lin picked up a corner and put it on the sofa, and sure enough, the part leaning against the sofa turned black.
"Hey! This thing is quite rare. I remember your heart.
Take it out and give it to your family to sew a cushion.
You all go down, I want to talk to my nephew about something." Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, and several servants hurriedly left.
"It's not because your father is worried about you when you come back from the front line. This matter concerns the family, and I can't go, so it's better for you to go.
Don't think that your fourth uncle is harming you, there is nothing you can do about it, and you have discussed it with your father beforehand."
Li Hao's words set off alarm bells in Li Lin's heart!
This fourth uncle is now the second assistant of the imperial court, ranking only below Sun Yuanhua.
But the actual authority is on par with Sun Yuanhua.
It can give him a headache, and it’s a family matter...!
The third uncle is dead, and Huniu is an honest person. Since the last incident with Zheng Mang, she and her aunt have been tired of staying in Hainan all day long and never come back.
Especially in winter, I must spend the winter in Sanya.
This couple's business was all handed over to Tokugawa Chihime, and no one in the court could be seen unless relieved.
Nothing will happen to them for sure!
If it is the matter of the Fourth Uncle's own family, the Fourth Uncle will handle it himself.
As for my father, he is just a son and knows his own affairs.
Then there is only one possibility, the matter at the second uncle's family.
Second Uncle spends much more time on the ship than on land!
The second uncle's two sons are still in elementary school, so naturally they can't cause any big trouble.
It must be the second aunt!
Li Lin also felt a big headache when he thought of the second aunt of the Zheng family.
With the Zheng family as her back, this second aunt has no end to making money.
I’ve been obsessed with money all day long!
He stayed in Egypt every day, daring to interfere in everything.
Many people privately call her the Queen of Egypt!
Those who are bold will dare to join in any business, dare to do anything, and dare to make any money.
God knows what she can do.
If he really had to take care of Zheng's affairs... Li Lin was a little hesitant.
After all, where is the second uncle Li Xiu...
"What are you thinking about with your giggling eyes? Can you guess it?"
They're all on the table, take a look for yourself." Li Hao glanced at Li Lin and pointed at the memorial on the table.
Li Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally walked to the huge desk and picked up the memorial.
"I, Sun Zhijie, the Governor of the Middle East, report the Marine Corps' illegal activities...!"
Li Hao lit a cigar and slowly cut it with cigar pliers. He struck a match and took a big puff.
"this……!
Fourth uncle, is this all true?" After a while, Li Lin finished reading the memorial. He seemed so angry that his fingers were trembling.
“Even if there is a discrepancy, it shouldn’t be big.
Although Sun Zhijie is young, he has done many errands. Didn't you also serve as an errand in the First Army under him?
Who is your second uncle? Commander of the Navy.
The Zheng family is a major force in the imperial court, and your senior brother Zheng Sen is also in charge of Honglu Temple.
Although Sun Zhijie has his grandfather Sun Chengzong as his backer, he will not easily provoke such a huge force.
Besides, the benefits here are huge, haha...!
Your father said something back then, and I think it makes sense.
He said that people's eyes are black and their hearts are red.
When money is seen, the eyes become red and the heart becomes dark.
It’s not weird or weird for your second aunt to do something like this.”
Li Lin put the memorial on the table, then sat on the sofa without saying anything. He knew that this was a big, big hole.
If I try to open that hole, I will offend many people.
Many, many people!
"Hesitated?
It's okay, there's nothing we men can't say.
When I was younger than you, your father threw me into the navy under your second uncle.
My squad leader at that time was Scar, as you know, the one in my guard with a scar on his face.
When there was chaos in the Middle East two years ago, I sent him to your second uncle's place."
Li Lin glanced at Li Hao, and this time he believed that what was said in the memorial was probably true.
"Later, your second brother established the Marine Corps. At that time, your father only had a few thousand men under his command.
The establishment of the Marine Corps is a battalion.
Speaking of which, I can be considered one of the first Marines.
Do you know what our first task was when your father defeated the Tatars and entered Shengjing?"
"What?"
"Bury people alive!"
"Bury people alive!" Li Lin was stunned for a moment. Although he had seen many dead people on the battlefield, he had only heard of burying people alive, but he had never seen it before.
"yes!
At that time, there were many Tatars who refused to surrender, and there were even great traitors like Lin Kewang, the former prefect of Liaoyang.
At that time, our mission was to bury Lin Kewang's family alive.
I clearly remember a five or six-year-old child running over.
Please ask me if I can bury her deeper. She doesn’t want to be dug out and eaten by wild dogs after her death like her brother.”
Li Hao's eyes were deep and distant, and he was immersed in deep memories.
To be continued...
