Chapter 71: Xu Caihua Fights the Tiger
Seeing that at noon, Liu Yu came out of the school field and walked home, and on the way, he heard the latest progress in the disappearance of Xu Rong.
Some say that Xu Rong is possessed by demons, and Xu Lao Xiangye is looking for a Taoist priest to open an altar; Some say that Xu Rong's body was found outside the city, and only half of the body remained, as if it had been bitten by a wild dog and a jackal...... Liu Yu has to admire the imagination of the masses, and everyone can comment on the story. Until he passed by the chess building and saw Han Sheng, Han Sheng also conveyed the emperor's instructions.
To put it bluntly, this instruction can be summed up in four words, "do not move". This is also what Liu Yue expected earlier, although Xu Rong is a big fish, but compared to the bigger shark, he is just a small shrimp, if the emperor wants to do it, he will move last night. Before many fish surfaced, the emperor chose to continue the investigation. Han Sheng also brought the situation of Xu Rong's case, Xu Han took Yang Yanqian's son and did not find it, but investigated the news that the Imperial Forest Army sentry deliberately released Lu Lu that "Xu Rong's disappearance is related to the vassal kings", Xu Han still wanted to hide it at first, but this time the investigation used almost the entire city's yamen, and the wind still penetrated the emperor, and the emperor was furious and ordered the vassal kings to close the door in the mansion in Beijing until the end of the sacrificial ceremony.
Liu Yuxin said that this was another trick played by the emperor, and that by closing the doors of the vassal kings, the contact between them and the ministers could be reduced, and some ministers would not be able to sit still if the connection was not close. However, the emperor also had a more clever means, and actually ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate headed by Yang Yanqian to investigate who was involved in the case, although he did not say that it was to investigate the traitor, but the actual work done by the mountain was the same as what Han Sheng did secretly. One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Liu Yu is not a stupid person, he knows that Xu Rong is a bird, and the person who has a close connection with King Huai behind him is definitely his father Xu Han, Xu Han was still young and young at the time, although he was the right minister, but he was pressed to death by the left minister Li Zhongchun, so he used the power of King Huai to eradicate his political opponent and the extremely popular minister. And the "old bachelor" Yang Yanqian is his person, and there is a chance that there is collusion with King Huai. Let a group of people who are anti-thieves investigate who is a anti-thief, isn't that like a mad dog that bites people when they see it?
The water was not mixed up, but it was muddied by the old emperor.
Liu Yu returned to the general's mansion in front of the palace, and there was no one at the door except for the two guards, but there was a burst of laughter in the distance. The voice seemed to come from the direction of the Han sisters' small building. Liu Yu walked around the courtyard, and before he got closer, he heard a lot of chattering sounds, a rich stupid eldest sister was telling stories to the little sisters sitting around the small downstairs of the Han sisters, and the Han sisters also pushed open the door and moved a stool to sit at the door and listen carefully:
“…… At that time, I was too tired to carry a hoe, and my mother didn't send me food, the sun was shining, and I wanted to rest on the edge of the ridge, that guy, when I came out, there was no movement, a strange wind blew, I felt that the back was cold, and I turned my head to see that it really scared me, a white-fronted tiger, that guy ...... The eyes are so big......"
Xu Caihua gestured, which was bigger than the taillights.
"Sister Cauliflower, your eyes aren't so big, are they? If the eyes are so big, isn't the body how many feet long? Lu Chuer raised objections based on the principle of seeking truth from facts.
"Who says it's not. The body was like a small mountain col, and I couldn't see its big white forehead when I looked up......"
Liu Yu really couldn't hear such an exaggerated story, so he stepped forward and said, "That...... Excuse me, what about your generals? ”
Seeing Liu Yu, a group of guards stood up and saluted respectfully and called "Uncle", and Lu Chu'er said, "The general is studying female red in the backyard." ”
"School girl red?" Liu Yu smiled, Xu Xuanzhu was used to holding a sword, when did he take a needle and thread, "You continue to talk about that...... The story of fighting the tiger, Yi'er Ting'er, come with me to see your sister Xuanzhu! ”
Han Xiaoyi and Han Xiaoting obviously hadn't heard enough of Xu Caihua's story, and their faces were a little unhappy, but they still walked over holding hands, and Lu Chu'er coaxed beside them: "Uncle, I heard that you are quite knowledgeable, so tell us a story?" ”
"Storytelling?"
Liu Yu could have been able to talk about it, it was nothing more than a masterpiece, the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin could not be said, the historical background was different, it was good to talk to them about the Golden Bottle Plum, but these little female soldiers were more skinny than the other, and if something happened after speaking, it would be very bad. Do you want to talk about Journey to the West? Liu Yue shuddered unconsciously, and he felt more and more that these little female soldiers were originally reincarnated by spider spirits in Journey to the West, the kind that specializes in pestering people.
"I'm not going to tell any stories, I'll talk about them when I have them."
Until Liu Yu left the courtyard with the Han sisters, Xu Caihua could still be heard talking about his experience of fighting tigers from a distance, but the story was still entangled in the question of whether the eyes were so big or so big.
The Han sisters followed behind Liu Yu with obvious trepidation.
Since Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu got married, the Han sisters have become a lot more introverted, although they have long predicted the fate of falling into the favor of their husbands, but they are still a little uncomfortable when they suddenly arrive. Liu Yu tried his best to make them feel that he cared about them, and more importantly, every time the Han sisters went to ask Xu Xuanzhu for peace, Xu Xuanzhu would pull the two little girls to talk for a long time, which was very intimate, and Xu Xuanzhu was also learning to be a competent eldest sister.
However, the Han sisters still didn't appreciate it very much, and they were a little hostile, and they also couldn't understand why this seemingly kind big sister was not as fierce and vicious as outsiders said.
"I'm busy these days, I don't have time to take you out to play, how about taking you to the Great Ci'en Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha after lunch today?" Liu Yu saw that the two little girls were sullen and said.
"Okay." The eyes of the two little Nizi brightened almost at the same time.
"But you can be obedient, don't run around, don't have no rules, this time I'm going with your sister Xuanzhu."
Hearing that they were going with Xu Xuanzhu, the two little girls became a little unhappy again. But Liu Yu can't let them go, she originally went to the family day to enhance her relationship, which is also Xu Xuanzhu's request, she also wants to burn incense and worship the Buddha to thank God for giving her a good husband, and at the same time, she also hopes to wish the family a safe life.
When he arrived at the room pointed by Lu Chuer in the backyard, Liu Yu pushed open the door, Xu Xuanzhu should not be able to live at home with needlework, and he was already unstable with a needle, but he was startled by the sudden sound of opening the door, and pricked his finger again.
"Husband? Two younger sisters...... It's all your fault, I accidentally pricked my finger again. Xu Xuanzhu seemed to complain.
The mother-in-law of the goddaughter Hong standing next to her was invited by Xu Xuanzhu from the Ministry of Rites, and when she saw Liu Yu, she saluted first, and then said: "Two generals, it's not too early, and the old body is going back." Another day, I will teach General Xu the mandarin duck needle method. ”
Seeing the old woman leaving, Liu Yu smiled and said, "Look, you are not good at needlework, and even the master doesn't want to teach you." ”
Xu Xuanzhu didn't seem to want to lose face in front of her two younger sisters, but Liu Yu still said so, but she also understood Liu Yu's hard work, and letting the Han sisters see her weak side would increase a lot of cordiality. Liu Yu smiled again: "Yi'er, I heard your grandfather say that your needlework is good, and I will come to teach you Sister Xuanzhu more in the future." ”
"Hmm." Han Xiaoyi still couldn't let go, nodded his head, lowered his head but didn't raise it again.
Liu Yu was a little hungry, but unfortunately the kitchen at home was burned, and the food could only be bought from outside temporarily, but fortunately, Sui Yu was attentive and would find someone to deliver it at noon every day, which can be said to be very rich. The family was about to sit down and have a meal together, Xu Xuanzhu also begged to talk about the battlefield that day, and Lu Chu'er rushed into the door with a look of impatience.
"There are no rules." Xu Xuanzhu put down his chopsticks and complained, "What happened?" ”
"General, uncle, something is wrong, ...... outside. Fights began. Lu Chuer said with a bitter face.
Liu Yu glanced at Lu Chu'er and said, "You won't persuade you to fight?" Who fought with whom? ”
"If you want to persuade you, it depends on who you are right again, and I don't know where someone came, shouting at the door to see Mr. Cauliflower, Sister Cauliflower said a few words to him and started a fight, and Sister Cauliflower went up and picked up that person!"
"Picked up?" Liu Yu's surprise is not small.
couldn't take care of eating, the family hurried to the gate of the front yard, only to see that a group of female soldiers and a few small servants carrying gifts were stunned, Xu Caihua put a certain gentleman on the top of his head like a light cloth and turned in a circle. And this person is obviously so dazed that he can't even shout for mercy. It was Wang Hu.
Liu Yu couldn't help but smile, it seems that this Xu Caihua really thinks that Wang Hu is a "white-fronted tiger" is picked up.
