He Lin looked at Liu Zhen in surprise, then looked around at everyone. He found that except for a few third-generation Liu family members, the rest of the people seemed to be unaware of the situation.
"Amazing, truly amazing! He actually hid this from the patriarchs and elders of the two great noble families in Qingshan Town. It's truly amazing. Li Yan, don't you even know about this?"
"Sir, it was such a chaotic situation back then that I was beaten by the crowd and couldn't see anything. When they dispersed, you had already fallen down the stairs and was seriously injured. I ran away to save my life. I deserve the death penalty."
"At that time, you weren't my follower yet. You were my enemy, not my friend. You've already been punished, so I won't pursue this matter any further." He Lin finished speaking to Li Yan, then smiled and asked the third-generation descendants of the Liu family, "But I'm really curious. I've been awake for nearly two months, and you haven't told your clan leader the truth to help you deal with the aftermath. Instead, you've chosen to continue hiding it. Why is that?"
Liu Zhen followed He Lin's gaze and looked at them: "Is it them?!" After Liu Zhen saw these people, although they did not say a word, but looking at their expressions, he already understood that what Li Feng said might be true.
Liu Hai also followed He Lin's gaze and spotted these cousins. "Liu He, Liu Xi, Liu Xi...you...are you really the ones who kicked Master Feng down the stairs?"
The three teenagers remained silent, a gesture of tacit agreement. Herlin frowned as he watched everything unfold, feeling a bit strange about the situation and fearing it wasn't over yet.
"Mr. Feng, I'm sorry, we have some problems here. I'm afraid we have to end today's appointment first. After we have investigated it clearly, we will invite Mr. Feng to our house for a while, okay?" Liu Zhen said to Li Feng with a grim face.
He was not as magnanimous as Li Feng, who could not hide anything from others. He did not want others to see the affairs of his Liu family.
"Clan leader Liu, you..." Li Lei was furious. Well, you enjoyed watching the excitement of our Li family just now, but now that it's your turn, you don't let us watch. How can this be justified?
Li Feng held Li Lei down and nodded in agreement: "Of course, uncle, let's go first."
"Feng'er, this..." Li Lei looked at He Lin in confusion. He Lin whispered, "Let's go. This place is about to become a place of trouble. We need to leave quickly, otherwise we will be affected and may even be in danger."
Li Lei stopped talking immediately and hurriedly left Zuixianlou with He Lin and his group. He mounted his horse and left Qingshan Town without a moment's delay.
After returning to Li's Manor and arriving at Li Feng's courtyard, Li Lei asked cautiously after only the uncle and nephew were left.
"Feng'er, what's going on?"
He Lin did not answer directly, but said: "The specific situation is a bit complicated. This incident is also beyond my expectations. Wait a moment, wait for the latest news from Qingshan Town, and I will give you an answer."
He Lin didn't say anything more, so Li Lei didn't ask any more questions. Since Li Feng said to wait, then let's wait. However, the matter of Wei's...
"Feng'er, your aunt and Qi'er..."
"Uncle, I believe Aunt and Brother Qi are unaware of this. This is all Wei Hong's doing..." He Lin replied before Li Lei could finish. Some things can only be understood but not expressed in words. It's better not to say them out loud.
Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Feng
"Yes, I also thought that your aunt and Qi'er didn't know about it. They have absolutely no ill will towards you, I can guarantee that."
That's not certain, but it doesn't matter. I've never held the Li family in high regard. This time, besides settling the grudges left by my previous incarnation, I took action out of habit. The best way to gain some real power within the family is to establish a new, powerful institution.
Herlin was used to being the boss, but now he had no real power and was controlled by others, which really made Herlin uncomfortable.
So they established a new powerful institution as their own direct force, so that they could do things that only they understood what they were doing but it was not convenient to explain why they were doing them.
…
Zuixianlou, after the Li family left, Liu Zhen educated his son Liu Haidao
"Have you seen how powerful Li Feng is?"
Liu Hai thought for a moment and said
"Li Feng's demeanor is extraordinary. He is indeed a great man of his generation."
Liu Zhen frowned and asked
"Besides bearing?"
"The others are very smart. They can name all of Li Yan's accomplices without even asking them. They are really smart." Liu Hai thought for a while and then said
"What else?" Liu Zhen regained his composure. It seemed his heir was only at this level. There was nothing he could do but teach him slowly.
"Also, he is so cruel. That's his uncle's wife's family. He killed them without saying anything. He is so cruel." Liu Hai thought about it carefully and then said
"Anything else?" Liu Zhen frowned and asked again
"My son can't recall it right now. Father, am I wrong?" Liu Hai knew his father, Liu Zhen. He seemed dissatisfied with his answer, but he didn't understand why. Was his answer wrong? It was all well-founded and reasonable, right?!
Seeing Liu Hai's confusion, Liu Zhen had no choice but to explain to Liu Hai:
"You're right, but what I want you to answer is not these general answers, but a specific interpretation of the deep meaning of Li Feng's actions."
"Father, I don't understand. What's the deep meaning behind Li Feng's actions?" Liu Hai really didn't understand. In his opinion, it was a very simple matter! Where did the deep meaning come from?
Liu Zhen was helpless. His son's simple mind was helpful in practicing swordsmanship, but it became his biggest shortcoming when doing things. Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. He had to explain to Liu Hai
"Li Feng's timing was perfect. Li Lei had already fallen into my trap. If Li Feng hadn't taken over and Li Lei had taken charge, today's incident might not only have resolved the grudge, but I could have also gained a lot of advantages."
After a pause, Liu Zhen continued with a look of regret, "It's a pity that Li Feng took over the conversation and changed the subject to us arresting the scum of the family for them. This matter cannot be defined in this way, otherwise the reputation of our thousand-year-old noble family will be ruined."
Liu Zhen sighed and said helplessly: "There is no other way, I had to follow the other party's topic. After that, the topic has always been dominated by the other party. Alas, this shows how powerful the other party is."
Liu Hai was a little confused at this moment. Could there be so much meaning in these words? At the time, I just thought this person was being frivolous and rude, but it turned out that rudeness was his strategy, forcing them to follow his topic.
So that's how it is. Liu Hai nodded thoughtfully. He understood.
