Chapter Ninety-Three: Sending the Buddha to the West
After feeding Liu Yushu on the couch and drinking the rice soup, the mother-in-law turned her head to pack up her things, blew out the lights, walked out of the inner room, closed the door for him with her backhand and left.
As soon as she left, a ghostly figure jumped from the beam in front of the door. The masked man in black looked at no one around, quietly opened Liu Yushu's door, dodged in and closed the door.
I approached the bed in the dark, lifted the bed tent, and looked over, only to see Liu Yushu lying in the center of the bed with his eyes closed, motionless, but his breathing was steady.
The man in black sneered, flipped his palm, and slapped his palm heavily on Liu Yushu's chest with enough internal strength. Liu Yushu, who was asleep, let out an inaudible muffled snort, tilted his head, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, still motionless, but no longer sound.
Afraid that he would not die, the man in black stretched out his finger and probed under his nose, then put it on the vein in his neck, and finally slapped his palm against his heart with sufficient internal force.
Rao is this Liu Yushu has a heart made of iron, and after his two palms, he also ensures that he dies thoroughly.
Only then did he withdraw his hand with satisfaction, and when he went out of the inner room, he still closed the door, and the man in black saw that no one jumped out of the courtyard in a flash, and disappeared into the night.
In the early morning of the second day, the mother-in-law opened the door and entered the inner room with the decoction and porridge that she was going to feed Liu Yushu in the morning. I saw Liu Yushu on the bed tilting his head, and there was a trace of blood lying on the corner of his mouth.
The mother-in-law was shocked, took out a free hand, stretched out her trembling hand, and probed under his nose, and there was no breath!
The hand shook and accidentally touched his lips and nose, and a coolness passed through her fingers, and the person was already cold, and she could no longer suppress her fear, her hand was weak, and the soup and porridge in her hand fell to the ground.
"Oh no, Childe has an accident, no, Childe has an accident!"
The mother-in-law stumbled, ran out of the yard and shouted loudly!
"Master, it's not good, master!" The housekeeper ran all the way into Liu Tingzhong's bedroom.
"Dog, what's the ghost called early in the morning!" Liu Tingzhong got up and put on his clothes and scolded angrily.
In the past few days, for the sake of the jade book, he fell asleep at about dawn every day, and finally closed his eyes, and he didn't sleep for long, and was woken up by shouting, and he was very annoyed.
"Master, it's not good, young master, young master, he ...... He ......," said the butler, with tears in his voice.
Liu Tingzhong's face changed greatly, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly walked out of the inner room with her clothes on, and asked eagerly: "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with the young master?" ”
"Young master, he's dead!"
"Huh?"
Mrs. Liu screamed and fell on her back!
Liu Tingzhong's eyes were also dark, his heart was like being hammered with a heavy hammer, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", his body was shaky, and the housekeeper hurriedly went up to support him when he saw this.
Stabilizing his figure, Liu Tingzhong said bitterly: "Quick, help me to the Jade Academy." ”
The housekeeper helped Liu Tingzhong to Liu Yushu's courtyard, Liu Yuqin had already received the news and came first, and was watching the dead brother crying on the bed.
Liu Tingzhong has many children, only Liu Yuqin and Liu Yushu are compatriots of the same mother, and they are the sons and daughters of Liufu, and the relationship between the two is naturally deeper than that of other sisters.
Her mother also tried her best to make Liu Yushu the only male in the entire Liufu, and it was with this son that she sat in the position of the housemother of Liufu.
Since she was a child, she has been very fond of her younger brother, not only because of her mother's compatriots, but also because he is the only heir to Liufu in the future.
In the future, even if she gets married, this younger brother will be her biggest supporter in her husband's family for the rest of her life! But now that this younger brother is dead, her backer is gone, and in the future, their mother and daughter will have no place to stay in the huge uncle's mansion, thinking of this, how can she not be sad?
But Liu Tingzhong saw Liu Yuqin crying heartbroken, and couldn't help but walk to Liu Yushu's bed in a daze, looking at Liu Yushu who was lying on the bed with a look of disbelief, and the hatred in his heart grew like spring grass.
Fu Lingyun, the Fu family, the hatred of killing the son is not shared! If I don't slaughter all your doors, I'll be a father in vain!"
Glancing painfully at the corpse of his son, who had been holding it in the palm of his hand since he was a child and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, Liu Tingzhong stood up resolutely, hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, called the housekeeper to prepare the horse, and galloped all the way into the palace!
In Yongfu Palace, Gonggong Xu walked in a hurry.
"Hooray! Banzai! Outside the palace, something happened! ”
The emperor's deep and majestic voice came from inside the palace gate: "Come in!" ”
Gonggong Xu pushed open the door and walked in, kneeling on the ground: "The slave has seen long live, and I have seen the concubine Niangniang!" ”
"Get up, what's the matter?" The emperor took the salt water handed over by Concubine Xian, rinsed his mouth, took the handkerchief in her hand, wiped his mouth and asked.
Gonggong Xu glanced at Concubine Xian and bowed his head silently.
The emperor understood, waved his hand and retreated from Concubine Xian: "Okay, you say, what's the matter?" ”
Gonggong Xu raised his head: "Long live Qiyu, Liu Yushu, the son of Uncle Liu, died last night!" ”
The emperor's expression remained unchanged: "How did you die?" Do you know who did it? ”
Gonggong Xu: "I don't know, but Uncle Liu and Concubine Liu asked to see each other outside the palace." ”
The emperor frowned: "Come in!" ”
"Long live, long live, you have to be the master of the ministers (concubines)...... Woooooo Liu Tingzhong and Liu Jinli cried together when they entered the hall.
The emperor suppressed his faint anger and asked with a calm face, "Why did you two come to Yongfu Palace to cry like this?" ”
Liu Tingzhong burst into tears: "Long live, please ask the emperor to severely punish the Fu family!" ”
The emperor pretended to be surprised: "Fu family? ”
Liu Tingzhong wiped his tears: "Long live, Fu Lingyun broke into my uncle's mansion at night and injured Liu Yushu, the son of the old minister, alive and disabled in the house!" The most hateful thing is that my son still has a life to protect.
Who knew that he learned that my son was not dead, and he sneaked into the house to kill the killer. Pity my son, who could not speak, could not see, and was lying on the bed motionless, just like that, just like that, he was cut off by the last trace of life! Woowoo...... Now our Liu family is the last, the old minister is such a son, long live, you have to be the master of the old minister~~"
After speaking, he fell on the ground and cried, grief-stricken. Liu Jinli was also on the side, crying non-stop.
The emperor didn't look at Liu Jinli, but just looked at him with a complicated expression and cried, and asked faintly for a while: "Why did Fu Aiqing do this to your son?" ”
Liu Tingzhong was indignant: "Long live, my son may have some quarrels with him on weekdays, my son is the most well-behaved and sensible in his life, and the old minister is also puzzled why General Fu wants to do this to my son." ”
The emperor laughed angrily at him: "Your son is well-behaved and sensible? Uncle Liu, are you sure you're talking about your son? ”
Liu Tingzhong was stunned for a moment, and forgot to cry for a while: "The old minister doesn't understand the meaning of Banzai, please make it clear." ”
The emperor looked uncertain: "You don't understand? Well, I'll tell you! The well-behaved and sensible son in your mouth, but the famous little bully in the imperial capital, Lian Zhen has heard of it, and the common people say that he bullies men and women, and he is arrogant and arrogant in the fish and meat town, and he is rampant!
But you say that your son has always been well-behaved and sensible?
Isn't it because you and I have different understandings of the word well-behaved and sensible? Or maybe we're not talking about the same person? ”
Liu Tingzhong's face began to turn pale: "Long live, this is all rumors, slandering my son!" Hooray! ”
The emperor was furious, and threw the tea cup in his hand on the ground with a "snap" and smashed it! "Then you mean that I am mediocre and gullible in rumors, do you?"
"Lao Chen didn't mean that, Lao Chen didn't dare, long live his anger!"
The emperor said angrily: "Hmph! Do you not mean that, or do you dare not have that meaning? ”
Liu Jinli lay on the ground and didn't dare to come out, and Liu Tingzhong's face was as white as the wall next to him.
The emperor stood up suddenly, pointed at the two people on the ground and said angrily: "You said that you can't figure it out, why did Fu Lingyun kill your son?" Then let me ask you, did your son forcibly kidnap Fu Lingyun's wife and sister into the mansion? ”
Liu Tingzhong was horrified, how did the emperor know? But his face pretended to be completely unaware and had been greatly wronged.
"Long live, there is no such thing, this, this must be Fu Lingyun to exonerate himself and frame the old minister! Hooray! ”
The emperor couldn't help but be more and more angry when he saw that although his face was pale, he still looked aggrieved.
"Framing you? Your son not only kidnapped people back to the house, but also put them under house arrest for several days, isn't it! ”
"Long live, there is no such thing, the old minister is wronged!"
Liu Tingzhong knew that at this moment, the only way to resist death and not recognize it was the best strategy, but fortunately, the person had been killed, and there was no proof of death, as long as he bit him to death and did not admit it, even the emperor could not help him!
"Never? Liu Aiqing said very surely, are you sure you don't need to think about it before answering me? The emperor said with a calm face.
Seeing this, Gonggong Xu shouted angrily at Liu Tingzhong: "Uncle Liu, if you don't tell the truth in front of the Son of Heaven, you will be guilty of defrauding the king, but you will be beheaded all over the house!" You have to think about it! ”
Liu Tingzhong gritted his teeth, just shouted injustice, and didn't do what he said.
The emperor is happy, you Liu Tingzhong, dare to love your backbone is used here, right!
"Okay, since you are sure that you are wronged, Gonggong Xu, immediately announce Fu Lingyun into the palace! I confront you face to face, and I want to see who is deceiving you! ”
"The old slave obeys!"
Not long after, Fu Lingyun entered the Yongfu Palace, and after shouting long live, he knelt on the ground without saying a word and waited for the emperor to ask.
The emperor looked at Fu Lingyun who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly asked, "General Fu, today Uncle Liu Guo sued you for killing her son Liu Yushu, but is there such a thing?" ”
Fu Lingyun: "Long live, the minister has just learned that the minister knows who injured him, but it was not the minister's doing!" And that person only beat Liu Yushu, but he didn't kill him! ”
When Liu Tingzhong heard this, he immediately pointed at Fu Lingyun and said to the emperor: "Long live, you heard him admit it, hum!" Fu Lingyun, even if my son was not killed by your own hands, you will not be able to escape the involvement! ”
Fu Lingyun asked rhetorically: "Why is Uncle Liu so sure that he has something to do with me?" ”
Liu Tingzhong was speechless for a while, and Liu Jinli on the side saw his brother deflated, and immediately took over: "If it has nothing to do with you, how can you know who the murderer is?" If you know who the killer is, why don't you hand him over? If it has nothing to do with you, why do you want to cover up with him? ”
Fu Lingyun looked at the two people who were singing and harmonizing opposite, sneered, and turned to the emperor with a fist: "Long live, it's not that the minister wants to protect that person, it's just that the minister really can't decide whether he is guilty or not." Therefore, the minister came today to ask Banzai to make a decision in person! ”
