Chapter Fifty-Eight: Drinking Causes Trouble
Because of Liu Yuan's relationship, Liu Yao's transfer was very smooth, and it took less than a month for him to receive an official letter from Su Weijun, asking him to report directly to the palace after the New Year. He hurriedly completed all the handovers and returned home, preparing for the New Year with peace of mind, and things seemed to be progressing in a good direction again, after all, he was one step closer to the sheep sacrifice.
During the Chinese New Year, Liu Yuan still did not go home as in previous years, he was a Huns, but the Han people were on the festival, but his two wives were Han people, and they attached great importance to this Spring Festival, and Liu Yao and Liu Ling were deeply influenced by Han culture, and they also felt that the Spring Festival was lively, so they followed the two aunts every year to celebrate the New Year.
The reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, the four people said this without a match, but the topic somehow turned to Liu Ling's body, in the past two years, the two aunts worried a lot about Liu Ling's marriage, but Liu Ling was unwilling, Liu Yuan didn't care, so he kept delaying, in the blink of an eye, after the New Year, Liu Ling will be eighteen, if he stays at home anymore, it is really a little too much.
The third aunt took the example of a sheep offering her face, and said: "Your sister is more than two years younger than you, and she has already entered the palace, and if you drag it any longer, I am afraid that you will not be able to find a good family." ”
"Do you think she's willing?" Liu Ling glanced at Liu Yao and ruthlessly blocked the words back: "If it weren't for the decree from the palace, she wouldn't want to marry so early." ”
The fourth aunt shook her head and said, "Anyway, people have hope for the rest of their lives, what should you do?" ”
"What's that call of hope?" Liu Ling looked directly at the fourth aunt, and wanted to continue to block the words of the two of them, but when she thought about it, these two people were worried about her marriage on a whim, and she said that no matter how many more people they were, they would not change their minds, so why should they waste this thought, so they changed their words and said: "You always ask me to find a good family, but I am a Huns, which good family in this capital dares to marry me?" My sisters are also married to my father's subordinates, so I don't want to live alone in an empty house, it's too lonely. ”
When the fourth aunt heard this, she nodded in agreement and said, "That's not bad." ”
The third aunt knocked on the table and said to the third aunt: "You don't want to be bluffed by her, this girl, she has a lot of thoughts, and her tongue is Ye Ling, and a few words will wrap you in." She turned her face and said to Liu Ling, "What about your father's subordinates?" Hey," she suddenly became interested again, looked at Liu Yao, and asked excitedly: "Didn't your brother marry that brother?" How about marrying our Ling'er? ”
"No." Liu Yao and Liu Ling shouted at the same time.
"Why not?" The third aunt asked incomprehensibly: "Tall and strong, good-looking, and a person in your father's army, my sister is still the queen, and her family background is also well-known, isn't it good?" ”
"Don't you mess around?" Liu Ling said with a disgusted face: "Yang Ting, no, no." ”
Liu Yao looked at Liu Ling, in the past, he had also fantasized that he would marry Miss Yang, and then let his sister marry Brother Yang, the two families were married, and they were friendly for generations. But now, although he has not married a sheep to offer his face, but Yang Ting, it seems that he has changed in his mind, and the moment the third aunt said it, his reaction was no, his sister must not be handed over to that person.
"Not really." Liu Yao said, seeing his sister being entangled, he persuaded the two aunts again: "Ling'er is the pearl of my father's palm, and marriage will not be a problem in the future, today's New Year, the two aunts will let her go." ”
The third and fourth aunts were suspicious
looked at the two of them, but they still closed their mouths and stopped mentioning Liu Ling's marriage.
Such peace did not last for a few days, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Yao went out to drink at the invitation of Yang Ting, Liu Yao didn't want to go, but he had nothing to do at home, and he didn't know what Yang Ting asked him for this time, so he decided to go, and when he arrived at the place, there were still a few people on the table, all of whom were old friends of Yang Ting, according to Yang Ting, they were all powerful martial artists, and they used to compete with Yang Ting to test their kung fu and strength, but now Yang Ting has been practicing for a long time, and they are much stronger than them.
There was a sheep in the banquet, this meal was lively, Liu Yao also swept away the previous unhappiness, and a few people had a happy time, after three rounds of wine, Yang Ting walked in front of him with a cup, patted him on the shoulder, and before he spoke, his eyes were red first, and tears fell, and said: "In a few days, you are going to the palace, I am also going back to the army, our brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and I don't know what the situation will be next time we meet." He sighed, and his voice choked: "Brother knows, you complain about me, I can't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you, and I still remember the brotherhood between us." ”
When Liu Yao heard this, he was also moved, after all, he was also a brother for many years, he was reluctant to let go of this feeling, so he drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "Brother, don't talk about it, we brothers have been brothers for so many years, and I don't want to ruin my feelings because of these things." ”
"Okay." Yang Ting nodded, pointed to the people at the table, and said: "These were my playmates before, and I call them today, one is for the atmosphere of the New Year, and the other is to give my brother a witness," Yang Ting said and drank three glasses of wine in a row, and beckoned the rest of the people at the table, and said: "Big guy to be a witness, I Yang Ting did something sorry for Brother Yao, and today I officially made amends to my brother." After he finished speaking, he made a deep bow and gave Liu Yao a big gift.
"Brother, no." Liu Yao hurriedly stopped Yang Ting.
Yang Ting stopped Liu Yao's movements, poured three more glasses of wine and drank it, slowed down his voice, and said, "No matter how mixed I am, I also know that no matter what, I can't attack my brother, it's against morality." He said and hugged Liu Yao, and in his ear, said: "But my brother can't help it, there are dozens of people in the Yang family, all of them are human lives." He let out a long breath: "I'm sorry. ”
Yang Ting's words were sincere, coupled with his crying red and swollen eyes and hoarse voice, Liu Yao completely let go of the mustard and forgave Yang Ting from the bottom of his heart, only feeling that he had no chance with Yang Ting, it was really hard to blame Yang Ting.
Letting go of the knot, Liu Yao was relaxed, and he drank more and more happily with Yang Ting. They drank from dawn to dark, and did not disperse until the shop closed. Several people drank too much, staggered home, and when they reached an intersection, Yang Ting and three of them walked in the direction of Yangfu, Yangfu was the closest to the tavern, so he beckoned a few people to follow him back to Yangfu, and a brother followed Liu Yao to the other side.
Liu Yao was woken up by a noise, he opened his eyes, adjusted to the bright light, only then did he feel that he had a terrible headache, he sat up, looked around the room, walked to the table, grabbed the kettle and poured the water into his mouth. The noise outside was getting closer and closer, he walked to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of people, dressed in fast clothes, walking in front of him, beside them was the panicked housekeeper of Liu Mansion and Liu Ling, who came in a hurry and didn't know what was happening.
The team caught fast, and the leader should be their team leader, who came up and showed his waist card, and asked, "Are you Liu Yao?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he did not say a word
beckoned to the catcher behind him, and said, "Take it." ”
Liu Yao didn't know why, struggled to resist, and those people swarmed up. Although Liu Yao's martial arts are good, his two fists are invincible to his four hands, and after those people rushed up, Liu Yao couldn't get out and was quickly tied up.
"What's going on?" Liu Yao shouted.
Those people ignored him and wanted to leave with Liu Yao. Liu Ling blocked in front of him, stopped with both hands, and said, "What did my brother do?" So take him. ”
Seeing that it was a little girl who stopped them, he didn't have the ruthlessness just now, so he only said: "Your brother is involved in a murder case, and it's not convenient for me to say more about the specifics, so you go to the yamen to inquire." ”
Liu Yao himself also heard it in the clouds, murder? Where did the murder come from? Who died? And who killed it? How could he be involved? Liu Yao was directly thrown into prison, and the cell boss who locked him up said that a person had died in Yingpan Street in the east of the city, and he was beaten to death, and he was the most important suspect, and the case had not yet been tried, so he had to stay in this prison for a few days.
Liu Yao sat in the prison in a daze, trying to sort out what was going on, but he tried his best, still couldn't figure out what was going on, he went home directly as soon as he finished drinking last night, he was indeed drunk, but not to the point of being unconscious.
After a short time, there was a sound outside the door, Liu Yao looked out, and saw that it was Yang Ting coming in a hurry, he immediately got up and ran to the door. Yang Ting trotted all the way over, a little panting, and the moment he saw Liu Yao, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
Liu Yao shook his head: "I went home directly last night, and today I was detained here when I said that someone died." ”
Yang Ting sighed heavily: "Do you know who the dead are?" Liu Yao shook his head, and Yang Ting said, "It's Wang Fu who we drank together yesterday." ”
"Wang Fu?" Liu Yao was taken aback, this Wang Fu was one of the people they drank together yesterday, and he was also the one who went home with Liu Yao all the way after the show. Liu Yao looked at Yang Ting blankly, saying that he really didn't know anything. "Brother believes in me." He was so anxious that he stomped his foot.
"They found a piece of jade not far from the corpse, with the word 'An' on the front and a tiger carved on the back." Yang Ting said with a little skepticism: "It's your piece." ”
"My piece was gone a while ago." Liu Yao's mind was a little confused, the piece of jade had been lost for a while, and he had searched everywhere, but he had not found it, he had given up, where did he think that the jade had become evidence for his crime.
"Blame me," Yang Ting beat his chest and paused his feet, putting on a look of great regret, and said: "Early this morning, I sent a few people who stayed at my house last night home, and when I saw that people were going to that place, I made a scene, and I just saw a catcher holding the jade and asking around, I recognized the jade at a glance, and then saw that the deceased was Wang Fu, and I was excited and said. He sighed and continued: "Several of our brothers were taken to the yamen, and they were interrogated for a long time before they were released. ”
Listening to what Yang Ting said so much, Liu Yao slowly calmed down, this person has nothing to do with him, and he didn't kill him, since it is clear that he is to blame, then who has such hatred with him and wants to blame him for the crime of murder? Liu Yao pondered for a while, raised his eyes, and set his gaze on Yang Ting. 2k reading web
