Chapter 580: What can’t you do, you beast?
"I didn't expect my master to run into someone he knew!"

Wang Ping'an heard that Gu Lianggong hadn't introduced himself yet, but his master called out his name immediately.

Looking at how old Gu Lianggong had become, he knew that they were most likely childhood playmates - no, looking at his master's cold attitude.

Thinking of what his master once said, he could only say that the old man in front of him was of the same age as his master, not a playmate.

Who made the Master want to play with anyone of his age except Le Wenmao when he was a child?

"I hope this old man can talk to my master more and comfort him so that he won't be too sad about the passing of Mr. Le!"

Wang Ping'an sighed secretly.

Gu Lianggong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he just couldn't say them, so he changed the subject:

"Master Ku Mu, now that you come back this time, will you not leave?"

He didn't know what to say. Taoist Xuanqing was a man of insight. With the power of the Zhu family, it would be best not to provoke them if possible.

Or should we say that Taoist Xuanqing was cowardly. His sister's son and daughter-in-law all died tragically at the hands of the eldest son of the Zhu family, but he didn't even dare to fart.

but.

To be honest, he had no opinion on Taoist Xuanqing's approach.

People of his age have seen one injustice after another. Even though it is a peaceful and prosperous time now, there is still no way to change the jungle law of the survival of the fittest. However, due to the peace and prosperity of the times, it will be more or less covered up.

otherwise.

Back then, the eldest son of the Zhu family killed Le Zhuang's parents, but that was during a peaceful and prosperous time. If it had been a turbulent time, not to mention Le Zhuang's parents, even Le Zhuang and his grandfather would have been persecuted by the Zhu family.

It is impossible for common people like them to live in this world without experiencing some humiliation and swallowing their anger. If they are a little tough and dare to do something that makes others angry, not only will they lose their lives, but their entire family will also be persecuted.

Before he gained any abilities, he thought that what Taoist Xuanqing did was perfectly normal.

"This is hard to say!"

Taoist Xuanqing thought for a moment and said.

He came back this time to bring the Wang family here to avoid the disaster. He didn't know whether the Wang family could stay in Liangshui Town.

I don’t even know whether the Prime Minister’s daughter can find out about this.

Although the possibility is very small, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he still dare not be careless.

"do not know?"

Gu Lianggong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Taoist Xuanqing strangely. Although Taoist Xuanqing took good care of himself, he still couldn't hide his old age.

This time, according to his guess, Taoist Xuanqing was hit outside and had no chance to make a comeback, so he could only come back to retire dejectedly. He never expected that Taoist Xuanqing would say this. He wanted to say, if Taoist Xuanqing was not planning to come back to retire, why did he come back after several decades? Could it be that he was deceiving him just now?

He wanted to find the eldest son of the Zhu family to avenge the Le family, but he was afraid that he would spread the news or that the news would leak out from other places, so he was unwilling to say it. He was still worried about the revenge of the Zhu family, so he prepared to deal with Le Wenmao's funeral and took Le Zhuang away from Liangshui Town.

Time passed by unknowingly. While Gu Lianggong was chatting with Taoist Master Xuanqing, he was directing the neighbors of the Le family to deal with Le Wenmao's funeral. Soon Le Wenmao's appearance was tidied up and the mourning hall was built. Le Zhuang, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt in front of Le Wenmao's coffin.

Gu Lianggong was directing everyone to do something when a man rushed in from outside and said nervously, "Uncle Gu, it's bad, Cui Ji is in town!"

"Why is Cui Ji here?"

Gu Lianggong was suddenly shocked. The man in front of him was one of the neighbors of the Le family. He did not help the Le family, but there was someone in his family.

"I saw that there were several constables from our town around Cui Ji, and one of them was Chi Yongchun's cousin!"

Before the man finished speaking, Gu Lianggong reacted immediately and quickly said to Taoist Xuanqing next to him:
"Chi Yongchun is a beast. He most likely sent someone to tip off the people. He used to work together with Cui Xing and brought disaster to the people of Liangshui Town. Taoist Master Ku Mu, you should take Le Zhuang away from here quickly. I will be at the funeral of old Le Tou. I guarantee nothing will go wrong. I will definitely bury old Le Tou in the Le family's ancestral tomb!"

Before Taoist Xuanqing could speak, Le Zhuang spoke first, "Uncle, we can't leave!"

Gu Lianggong said dissatisfiedly: "Why, Xiaozhuang, you don't believe me?"

"Grandpa Gu, it's not that I don't believe you, but I think you know better than me who Cui Ji is!"

Le Zhuang shook his head. In the past, due to the Zhu family, he had not had much contact with Gu Lianggong. However, he was very grateful to Gu Lianggong for coming to help and taking full charge of the funeral affairs after his grandfather passed away. He said solemnly:

"If my uncle takes me away, given the behavior of that beast Cui Ji, when he finds out that my grandfather wiped out his entire family, he will most likely whip my grandfather's corpse. Not to mention burying my grandfather in peace, he might even dig up my Le family's ancestral grave. So, I can't leave this time no matter what!"

Gu Lianggong opened his mouth, wanting to refute and assure, but he knew that what Le Zhuang said was true, and said worriedly: "But Xiaozhuang, if you and Taoist Master Ku Mu stay here, aren't you afraid of being harmed by Cui Ji? As long as the mountains are green, there will be no shortage of firewood. Didn't your grandfather tell you this truth?"

How could he not know who Cui Ji was? Cui Ji would definitely do what Le Zhuang said, and what he would do would definitely be even more excessive than what Le Zhuang said.

If Cui Ji sincerely wanted to disrupt Le Wenmao's funeral and drag Le Wenmao's body out of the coffin and whip it, if he dared to stop him, Cui Ji would probably beat him or even kill him.

Although he is very famous in this street, he is young and his neighbors know what kind of person he is, so they obey his orders. But if he meets a beast like Cui Ji, no matter how good his reputation is, it will be of no use.

Cui Ji, this beast, doesn't respect the elderly and love the young.

Le Zhuang did not respond to Gu Lianggong's words. How could he not know the truth of 'as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood'? But he just couldn't accept that someone destroyed his grandfather's body. Not to mention that his uncle was around now, he would not leave even if his uncle wasn't around.

Even if it means risking my life!

"Xiao Zhuang..."

Gu Lianggong wanted to persuade him, but looking at Le Zhuang's appearance, he knew that no matter what he said, he would not listen. He subconsciously looked at Taoist Xuanqing and saw that he looked indifferent, as if he did not take Cui Ji's coming to heart. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said thoughtfully:

"Master Ku Mu, do you have the ability to deal with Cui Ji?"
