Zhang Meiying practiced a stunt when she was young, standing and sitting and sleeping one by one. For her, sleeping standing and sitting is no different from sleeping lying down. She sat and slept in the Linxiang Pavilion for a whole night.

"Son, my father has come to see you, come and open the door!"

Zhang and Li suddenly woke up from their dreams and heard that Zhang Yuanwai had returned.

Zhang Meiying thought to herself: "If my father knows that I stayed here for a night, there will be trouble." So she quickly jumped out of the back window and returned to the Ascension Pavilion.

Li Huaiyu looked panicked, opened the door and invited the staff to enter, and closed the door again.

Zhang Zhong sat down, touched the chair, found that there was still residual heat, and saw that the back window was open. I saw a folding fan on the table, and when he opened it, there was a love poem left on it. He smiled slightly, gently put down the folding fan, and asked with a smile: "Son, in the past two days that my father has been away, how is my family safe?" ”

Li Huaiyu sat down and arched his hand: "It's okay, Daddy doesn't need to worry about family affairs." ”

"That being the case is reassuring to be a father." The two talked in detail for an hour, and Zhang Zhong said: "Son, you are busy with your father's affairs, and you left first, how precious you are." With that, he slowly went downstairs.

That night, Zhang Zhong and Liu returned to the room and chatted for a while, both of them felt tired, so they undressed and went to bed. On the third watch, a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the window, and a dart hit the side of the bed with a "bang". As soon as Zhang Zhong heard the sound, he hurriedly turned on the lamp, only to see a small note tied to the steel dart, he opened it and looked at it, which read: "Li Huaiyu killed the scholar Liu Fu and hid the body in the back mountain, and the murder weapon is under his bed, please take a look at it quickly." After reading the note, Zhang Zhong muttered: "Who sent this news?" ”

Liu Shiyan said: "Master, don't pay attention to it, maybe it is a person from the rivers and lakes who has nothing to do and comes out to have fun, and it is unknown whether he deliberately harasses us in sexual affairs." ”

Zhang Zhong said suspiciously: "Impossible, Li Huaiyu is a weak scholar, how can he kill someone?" ”

Liu said: "That's right, Huaiyu is usually gentle and elegant, how could he do such an extreme thing." ”

Zhang Zhong sighed and said: "Let's not care who sent the news first, but for now, we should go to the back mountain to find out." If Liu Fu really died, it proves that this news is true; If there are no corpses, it means that this is all nonsense. ”

Zhang Zhong and Liu quickly got better clothes, went out with more than a dozen family members, and came to the back mountain with lanterns and torches. The family members searched for a moment in the ravine, and sure enough, they found Liu Fu's body. Zhang Zhong examined the wound, and Liu Fu was fatally stabbed from the back of the heart.

Zhang Neng sighed, patted his thigh, and said, "It seems that the murderer has no martial arts, and he can't kill Liu Fu, but he sneaks up from behind." ”

Zhang Zhongchang took a long breath and said: "It's really difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and you don't know your heart!" In vain, I rescued Li Huaiyu back to Zhang's mansion and regarded it as my own, but I actually lured the wolf into the house and saw the wrong person. He was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and said angrily: "Li Huaiyu, Li Huaiyu, you are so ruthless, no wonder you, the thief, are wanted by the Henan prefect." Zhang Zhong's heart was broken.

Liu Lanying saw that Liu Fu really died tragically, she crawled beside his corpse and cried heartbreakingly: "My hard-working nephew, your parents are dead, and now only one relative like me is left, but he died unexpectedly." Fu'er, you died so miserably! Woo...... Woo......"

Zhang Zhong picked up Liu and said with tears in his eyes: "Madame, don't be sad, I will definitely seek justice for Liu Fu." He ordered the family to bury Liu Fu's body alive, and took Steward Zhang and more than a dozen strong men to Linxiang Pavilion, knocked on the door and shouted: "Li Huaiyu, open the door immediately!" ”

Li Huaiyu was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, so he hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the door and opened it. At the door, I saw more than a dozen big men standing at the door, all holding torches in their left hands and steel knives in their right hands, looking like wolves and tigers, very vicious.

At this time, Zhang Yuanwai flashed out of the crowd, stepped into the room, came to the bed, leaned over and looked under the bed, and sure enough, there was a short knife. He climbed down and took it out, and saw that the blade was mottled with blood, which was the murder weapon. His anger was even more vigorous, and he threw the knife on the floor with a "bang", and asked fiercely: "Li Huaiyu, the murder weapon is here, what else do you have to say?" ”

Li Huaiyu touched his head and asked with a smile: "Daddy, why did you say this?" ”

Zhang Neng said stupidly: "Young master, don't pretend to be garlic anymore!" You killed the scholar Liu Fu in the back mountain, hid the body in the ditch, and threw the murder weapon under your bed, thinking that the most dangerous place under the lamp is the safest place. It's a pity that the wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake. You never thought that there would be a nameless ranger who would tell the truth in the form of darts to my family. Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? ”

Li Huaiyu said: "This is impossible, Liu Fu disappeared yesterday, how can I be a murderer?" ”

Zhang Zhong asked, "Then why didn't you explain to me about Liu Fu's disappearance this morning?" ”

Li Huaiyu said: "I thought he was just playful and forgot the time, who would have thought that he was actually killed?" ”

Zhang Neng said: "I'm afraid you have a weak heart for murder, don't you dare to say it?" ”

Li Huaiyu smiled and asked: "Steward Zhang, you said that I killed Liu Fu, dare to ask me what motive I had for killing?" ”

Zhang Neng said: "That must be Liu Fu knowing some secrets that you shouldn't know, and you killed him in order to kill him!" ”

Li Huaiyu said: "If you want to add crimes, why bother? I'm wronged, Daddy, listen to me......"

Zhang Zhong shouted: "Little people, quickly hang this murderer to the master, and serve with whipping!" ”

Several strong men stepped forward to tie up Li Huaiyu and hang him on the beams of the house.

Zhang Zhong said angrily: "I advise you to recruit well earlier, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin." ”

Li Huaiyu burst into tears and asked, "I didn't kill anyone, what did you ask me to recruit?" ”

Zhang Zhong stood with his back and waved his hand.

"Young master, I'm sorry!" Zhang Neng stepped forward with a whip and pumped.

Li Huaiyu was in unbearable pain, crying and shouting: "You are setting up a private court, and there will be no good retribution." ”

Zhang Neng ignored it and continued to whip and whip hard.

After more than 20 lashes, Li Huaiyu's skin was opened, his body was bruised, and he passed out.

Zhang Neng stopped and said, "Master, this kid is really a stone in the pit, smelly and hard." He was whipped more than 20 times, but he didn't even say a word. ”

Zhang Zhong said: "Put him down first, we will bring the murder weapon and carry him to assassinate Shi Yamen for conviction." ”

The family took the unconscious Li Huaiyu down, put him on the wooden frame, and lifted him towards the yamen.

Outside the Yamen of the Assassin Shi, Zhang Zhong beat the drum and shouted: "My lord, wronged, wronged, wronged......"

Lu Tiande, the assassin of Xuzhou, woke up in a dream, ordered someone to pick up the lamp, better official uniforms, raise the lobby, put in Zhangfu and others, "snapped" and patted the shocked wood, and asked: "Who shouts injustice, report the name quickly." ”
