Lu Qi felt very uncomfortable when he mentioned this. He thought that his elder brother must have noticed something at the time, otherwise he would not have sent him to another province at that time. However, he did not expect that others would not deal with him, but the Xu family.
The big move before was just to lure him away.
"Uncle Lu, don't blame yourself. Everything will eventually come to light. Are any of those uncles still in contact with you?"
Xu Qi didn't forget at this time that there was a traitor among them. Judging from Lu Qi's expression, he probably didn't know about it. It seemed that he could try to test his attitude.
"There were five of us brothers back then. Your father died, and I could only live in this small black market. The third brother was caught and is now undergoing reform on a farm in the northwest. The second brother now holds a high position, but there are also many people watching him and wanting to bring him down! It is only because of the second brother that I can survive in this black market. However, the fourth brother is doing well now, but he was sent to another province and has no contact with us anymore."
Xu Qi heard what he said, and it was almost the same as what he had inquired about. From the surface information, he couldn't tell who had the problem.
Logically speaking, after planning for so long, the Xu family's assets had been divided up and there was little left. Surprisingly, the traitor did not rise to power and was quite good at hiding.
"Those uncles are all doing well, so my mother and I are relieved. By the way, Uncle Lu, please don't tell anyone that I came to see you, especially don't tell those uncles. I don't want to cause them any trouble."
"Oh, what's the trouble? It's normal for us brothers to help each other. No..." Lu Qi suddenly realized something, his face changed immediately, and he asked with some trembling.
"Xiao Qi, do you know something? Was there a traitor inside?"
Lu Qi said this with a look of disbelief on his face. The five brothers started from scratch and achieved their later success by helping each other.
Besides, the five of them never had any secrets. When the eldest brother was suddenly killed, was it not an accident, but a planned one?
"We don't know about that either. When I got home from school, my father was already dead. The house was heavily guarded, and only acquaintances could come and go freely."
Xu Qi actually didn't want to doubt his uncles, but the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't change the truth of the matter even if he didn't want to doubt.
When Lu Qi heard this, his face turned very ugly. Xu Qi had been carefully observing his every move. It seemed that he should have noticed something, but he just didn't dare to believe it.
However, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he did not want to continue to force him. After all, they were brothers who had been through thick and thin together, fighting for so long, and in the end only five of them survived.
"Uncle Lu, I have something else to do and have to leave first. I'll contact you later if you have anything else."
When Lu Qi heard that he was leaving, he stopped thinking about what had just happened and quickly pulled him aside to ask.
"You haven't told me how your mother and the others are doing? What are you doing? It's a rare opportunity to see Uncle Lu. I'll tell you to have a good meal and then get drunk."
When Xu Qi saw Lu Qi like this, he remembered the time when Lu Qi took him to steal wine, and was finally punished by his father to move wine jars. The jars of fine wine were transported to the cellar, but they could only smell them but not drink them, which was also a torture for them.
"My mother is doing well and is in good health. My eldest sister got married a few years ago. Her in-laws are very nice and she has a child."
"What about you? You're so old now, do you have a wife? Oh, by the way, I came back too late, but I still managed to transfer some of Brother Xu's property. When you come back, I'll sort it out and give it to you."
At this time, Lu Qi couldn't help but worry about the marriage of the younger generation. Suddenly, he thought of his sworn brother and couldn't help but recall the events of the past with pain.
Back then they had agreed to see Xu Qi get married, but now things have changed and his elder brother is far away from them.
Xu Qi also found out that some of his father's things were in his hands, and after hearing him mention it, he said this.
"My affairs are not yet completed, and I don't want to start a family for the time being. Besides, Uncle Lu, you are also alone. It would be better for you to find someone for yourself first, and then worry about the marriage of a junior like me. I may have some things to do in the next two days, so I will come to see you in two days."
"You can go now. You always poke at my sore spots. If you weren't so tall and strong now, I would definitely beat you up." After saying that, she waved at him quickly, not wanting to waste words with him anymore.
