Chapter 5405 Revealing Fangs
Li Chengji turned his eyes to Li Chengwu.
Li Chengwu never disappoints him every time.
This time, of course, there will be no exception.
Sure enough, Li Chengwu drank up the tea in one gulp, stood up and said: "This bird-like tea is bland and tasteless, I'm tired of drinking it!"
He stretched out his big futon-like hands and wiped away some water stains from his mouth. Then he put his palms on the table and said loudly: "Brother, that boy Li Qingyuan is also your baby. It's unreasonable for you to send him to the north. Besides, that boy is very capable, it would be a waste to keep him in the north."
Li Chengji's eyes widened, this...
Li Chengwu would actually say that Li Qingyuan is good?
"Chengwu, what's the matter with you? Others don't know about that kid Li Qingyuan, don't you know it too? It was you who went to the brothel to capture him last time." Li Chengji said.
"The prodigal son returns with gold. That boy Li Qingyuan has been reborn. He is different from before. He is now a promising young man." Li Chengwu praised him repeatedly.
"Promising young man?" Li Chengji felt that there was a problem. He was a tycoon. For actions beyond his control, he immediately noticed that there was a conspiracy behind it. Who was responsible for it was unknown, but As long as you keep going, that person will surely surface.
He didn't think it was Li Qingyuan. He knew better than anyone what Li Qingyuan looked like. He must be a powerful person, or one of the six elders, but he didn't look like anyone.
Who will it be?
While he was thinking about it, Li Chengya said: "Li Qingyuan is the most outstanding person of the Qing generation. There is no doubt about this. Who among you disagrees?"
Li Chengya asked about the other five elders.
What is certain is that Li Chengya, Li Chengqi and Li Chengwu who just spoke supported Li Chengya's words.
But in addition to these three, there are three elders, namely Li Chengxiang, Li Chengzhu, and Li Chenglin.
Li Chengxiang is older, probably in his early sixties, with a gray beard. He looks like he is falling asleep every time he has a meeting, and this time is no exception. He yawns and rubs his eyes.
Li Chengzhu is a middle-aged man with excellent physique. He likes to ride horses and hunt most. During meetings, he does not wear elder clothes, but wears hunter clothes with leggings. When the meeting is over, he wants to be the first to do so. Going to the hunting ground to hunt,
Li Cheng Lin is in his forties, full of bookishness. He once won the imperial examination, but gave up the Jinshi examination and came back to take care of the Li family's property. However, he likes reading, especially collecting various ancient scrolls. It is common to read a book while holding a meeting.
"Of course Li Qingyuan is the best." Li Chengqi was the first to respond.
"Who among the young generation can compare to Li Qingyuan? No one." Li Chengwu said in a rough voice.
Now that all three have expressed their opinions, they are waiting for the other three to speak.
"Li Qingyuan, I know that he likes reading and is a good boy." Li Chenglin put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and said sincerely.
What a damn good boy? Drinking, playing in brothels, gambling, fighting, eating king's meals... Would such a person be a good boy? Still like reading? It's more like burning books.
Li Chengji's mind was buzzing. At this moment, he was indeed shocked by Li Chenglin's words.
"Ahem, let me tell you something about Li Qingyuan. I don't know anything else, but when it comes to respecting the elderly, he has no choice. This child is purely filial." Li Chengxiang said Rubbing his eyes, he sighed and spoke.
"I also think Li Qingyuan is good. His archery skills are very accurate, which suits me." Li Chengzhu took off the hunting knife in his hand and wiped the blade carefully with a piece of cloth. The six elders all thought Li Qingyuan was good!
This is an unprecedented thing. Among them, Li Chengqi, Li Chengwu and Li Chengzhu are Li Chengji's core supporters. Every time the presbytery meets, they all support Li Chengji 100%, but this time they actually chose to replace Li Chengji. Li Qingyuan spoke.
This situation made Li Chengji suddenly feel a strong sense of crisis!
The mastermind behind this can persuade all the elders. Who has such great ability and power?
"What is going on with you? We are now a Presbyterian Church. I don't believe you don't know what kind of person Li Qingyuan is. What do you want to do? Don't hide it, tell us and let's discuss it carefully."
Li Chengji decided to use the authority of the family head and let the six elders tell the whole story. Only when he knew what the mastermind behind the scenes was doing could he come up with corresponding strategies.
"Brother, I have a suggestion. You see that your son Li Qingyuan is so outstanding and capable. Why don't you pass on the position of head of the family to him? You can be an honorary elder and take good care of yourself in old age. Brother will have more in the future. I spent a lot of time drinking and having fun with my brothers," Li Chengwu said seriously.
"I think it's okay. The head of the family is really tired. Look at how much he has contributed to the Li family over the years. It's time to take care of himself. It's totally pointless to continue working with this disease."
Li Chengya agreed, she nodded and said: "You Let's think about it. The head of the family has such an outstanding second son. Sooner or later, the position of the head of the family will be passed on to him. It is better to pass it on early than later. Why are you waiting? It's not too late."
" Are you going to take my seat?" Li Chengji's face darkened.
He knew the truth, but it was so incredible and difficult to understand.
However, anything that seems incomprehensible can actually be explained.
"Who among you wants this position? Just say it directly and don't use my son Li Qingyuan as a shield." Li Chengji said.
"Brother, you are thinking of something wrong. We are not trying to take away your position, and no one is qualified to be the head of the family. We are talking about your son Li Qingyuan..."
"Shut up, Lee Chengwu, I thought you were an honest person, but I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. Have I treated you badly in these years? What made you unhappy?”
Before Li Chengwu finished speaking, he was Li Chengji was interrupted.
He slapped the table hard and shouted.
He could forgive others' betrayal, but Li Chengwu's betrayal... he could not forgive.
"Brother, I am telling the truth. Li Qingyuan is the strongest in this generation. I am doing this for your own good and for the good of the Li family. Only when he becomes the head of the family will we have a way to survive. Otherwise, we will only have to It’s a dead end.” When Li Chengwu said this, he became a little emotional. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Brother, I just want you to live well."
"You all have this idea?" Li Chengji did not answer. , but look around.
"Okay, very good, the position of head of the family will be given to Li Qingyuan."
Li Chengji slapped the table with his palm, stood up, flicked his sleeves and robe, and walked outside.
None of the six elders tried to keep him, they just watched him leave with their eyes.
