The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 54: Five Strange Spells (Seeking monthly ticket for follow-up reading)

Seeing the Countess's frightened face and her silence, it was obvious that she was panicking.

So the middle-aged man kneeling beside her stood up angrily and said, "You have no respect for others. This is your second aunt."

Li Jingxiao laughed after hearing this. Seeing that the man was dressed in silk and not wearing official boots, he knew what was going on.

He looked at Eunuch Zhou and heard him say with a smile, "Master, this is the second brother of the eldest lady's family. I heard that he runs a lot of shops with the Master's family."

After hearing this, Li Jingxiao smiled and asked, "Eunuch, since I haven't entered the ancestral hall yet, I'm not considered a member of the Xing'an Earl Li family, right?"

Eunuch Zhou knew Li Jingxiao was stirring up trouble as soon as he heard it, and nodded with a smile, "That's both right and wrong. Since the Saint and His Majesty have conferred upon you the title of Earl of Xing'an,

The uncle is naturally the head of the Li family.

As for the other Lis, whether they are from the same family as you, we will have to wait and see."

After listening to this, Li Jingxiao put away his smile and gave Lu Erfu some instructions.

Lu Erfu nodded and walked out quickly. After a while, Zhao Junming came quickly with a general flag of the Jinyiwei.

The people in Xing'an Earl's Mansion became even more panicked.

Li Jingxiao looked at the middle-aged man, and the look made the other person feel uneasy.

Then he said to the Jinyiwei, "Since he is the uncle of the second branch, he is also an elder. Naturally, he would not embezzle the money of the Xing'an Earl's Mansion under the pretext of a partnership.

Please help me take good care of this uncle. Once the accounts are checked, send him home.

By the way, please help me check the accounts of the Xing'an Earl's Mansion.

If a problem is discovered and the person in charge of the mansion refuses to confess the truth, then torture will be used.

I just don't believe there's a tough guy under Sanmu."

The so-called three woods are clamps.

Fingers are more sensitive, so there are more nerves involved and the pain is more intense.

Zhao Junming and the Jinyiwei's small and general flag officers didn't care who their uncle was. Li Jingxiao's words were now military orders.

If you don't listen, your death will be in vain.

He came forward with five or six people and made a gesture of invitation to the uncle.

The brothers Zhao Junming and Zhao Junheng were more direct. Without waiting for their uncle to speak, they grabbed each other's hands, one on the left and one on the right.

Regardless of how the man shouted, scolded and swore, he was forcibly locked in a room in the front yard.

The servants in the Earl's mansion and the relatives of the Jiangzhou concubine were all terrified and kept silent.

Li Jingxiao didn't wait for his frightened second aunt to plead for mercy, and said to Lu Erfu, "I want to see the results of the accounts later."

He led his men to the second courtyard.

Just after crossing the second gate, he turned his head and said to Lu Erfu, "Send people to guard the front and back gates and each courtyard."

Erfu nodded quickly and ordered his teammates who were with the same flag to take five Daoluosi soldiers with them and spread out to guard the area.

He also ordered people to keep an eye on the warehouse.

Then he took a dozen soldiers, as well as Shi Delong and three others, and quickly followed Li Jingxiao.

Eunuch Zhou chuckled and thought to himself that he had not expected this young man to be so cruel.

And it seems that he has no affection at all for his cousin's family.

But Eunuch Zhou miscalculated again.

Li Jingxiao really had no feelings for his cousin, but he knew how to act to his own advantage.

Bringing his guards, he quickly followed Li Jingxiao to the central courtyard, entered the yard behind the main hall, and saw his adopted uncle lying on the bed.

Li Jingxiao could tell at a glance that the serious illness was indeed real, but the dark aura between his eyebrows could not escape his eyes.

Shi Delong and Lin Yi, who followed in, also saw the problem at a glance. They hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Sir, the old man has been cursed by the Five Ghosts. If he is not treated, he will not live for many days."

Eunuch Zhou and the guards, the Jinyi captain, a few frightened maids, and a little girl about ten years old dressed in fine silks and satins were all stunned.

Li Jingxiao sneered. In the original version of Dream of the Red Chamber, it was clearly written that the number of nobles killed or harmed by Ma Dao Po filled several books.

Among the confiscated accounts, there were at least a dozen noble families implicated.

In addition, the account book also records who you received money from and how much money you received.

It also records how Ma Dao Po has been able to discover the private and dirty things happening in other people's homes over the years.

She even remembered clearly what kind of spells Ma Dao Po used to harm people and how her family members reacted.

So although Li Jingxiao was surprised that his cousin was cursed, when he thought about it carefully, he was not surprised at all.

He looked at the girl, "Are you Jingxi?"

Li Jingxi could vaguely tell from Li Jingxiao's appearance that he was about four or five percent similar to his father when he was young.

He nodded doubtfully, then heard Li Jingxiao say with a smile, "My name is Li Jingxiao, the only heir of this generation of the Li family in the capital.

Actually, I am your cousin."

When Li Jingxi heard this, the surprise and confusion in his eyes made Li Jingxiao basically certain that this older sister definitely didn't know that he had a cousin.

After all, it had been fourteen or fifteen years since what happened, and Li Jingxi was not even born at that time.

There is no hostility towards this cousin.

He said softly, "Don't be afraid, Big Brother is here to save Second Uncle."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Lu Erfu and Jiang Liu, "Erfu, take the soldiers and maids and go bring the second and third young ladies here safely.

Jiang Liu went to tell Zhao Junming to have the Jinyiwei seal off the entire Earl's Mansion and keep everyone in the front yard."

Erfu and Jiang Liu also heard Shi Delong say that the old man was cursed and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, he heard Li Jingxiao say, "By the way, please ask my second aunt to come over."

The two of them nodded quickly, and Li Jingxi on the side became even more frightened and couldn't help but cover his mouth and cry.

Li Jingxiao did not go to comfort Jingxi. Instead, he sat beside the bed and reached out to feel his cheap uncle's pulse.

After a while, he frowned and waited for his two cousins ​​and second aunt to be brought in with uneasy looks on their faces.

Li Jingxiao began to ask about the patient's condition.

It took a while to determine that it was "xiaoke disease", or diabetes.

In ancient times, this disease only occurred in powerful and wealthy families, and if one did not control his diet, it would become a chronic and terminal illness.

Li Jingxiao shook his head helplessly and said to his second aunt and three cousins, "You should have heard about diabetes from the doctors and the imperial physicians.

Now I can only break the curse on my second uncle. How long he can live in the future depends on God's will.

If he is not saved, he will not survive for more than a few days."

If Li Jingxiao had not appeared, he would not have inherited the title.

Even if Second Aunt has a son, she might still hope that her man would just leave.

But now, the situation has reversed, and she is the one who is most reluctant to see her man die.

Once Li Huaili died, it was clear that the attitude of his adopted nephew Li Jingxiao towards her aunt would not be very good.

It is even possible that she would be sent back to her parents' home or forced to become a nun.

Only Li Huaili is still alive. Li Jingxiao is concerned about his reputation and will at least ensure that his family maintains a decent life.
