CHAPTER XIV
Liu was shaved and knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha shrine in plain clothes, looking even more pitiful.
When the door was opened, Liu did not look back.
Walking up to her, Liu closed his eyes and said something in his mouth.
Zhong Zhiyu squatted in front of her and looked at her with a gloomy face, but he wanted to see how long she could pretend.
After a while, Liu Shi spoke: "What is the county lord doing here?" ”
Zhong Xiuyu looked at this and the dilapidated Buddha Hall, and replied, "What else can you do when you come to the Buddha Hall?" ”
Liu sneered: "The county lord still believes in Buddhism? ”
"Of course I don't believe it!" Zhong Zhiyu's attitude changed, and his face was full of anger: "If there is really a Buddha in the world, why doesn't he bless his believing men and women from the suffering of war?" Why didn't he bless his faithful men and women from poverty? Why didn't he bless his faithful men and women from sickness? ”
The more Zhong Zhuyu spoke, the more excited he became, and at the end he almost roared: "Why didn't he bless my mother safe and safe from villains?!" ”
Liu was stunned, and slowly stood up after coming back to his senses, his posture was still graceful.
"I said, how could such a proud person as your county lord spare my life, that's the case." Liu Shi laughed out loud: "You haven't found out the cause of your mother's death yet?" ”
Zhong Shuyu stared at her deadly: "What do you know?" ”
"I don't know." Liu Shi opened his eyes and looked innocent: "I said, your mother was dead before I came to this palace." ”
"Slush found my mother's green hosta under the tree behind your courtyard!"
Liu Shi looked surprised: "You found all this?" ”
Chunhe and Twilight were shocked, this was not the place for them to listen. So the two tacitly went out to close the door and stood guard in front of the door.
"You know something." Zhong Zhiyu squinted his eyes and couldn't stop looking at Liu: "I thought that you failed to frame me, and you would use this incident to exchange your life." ”
"Tsk, I'm not that smart." Liu laughed at himself: "What's more, this matter is not a matter for me at all, if you hadn't specially reminded me, I would have forgotten about these things a long time ago, and I would have ended my life with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha." ”
Zhong Zhiyu followed Liu's gaze and looked at the Buddhist shrine again: "I'm afraid you won't be able to get your wish." ”
"What? The county lord was kind enough to spare my life, and now he is going to deal with me? Liu smiled confidently: "You won't, you still have to know how your mother died." ”
"We're going to Beiwang City."
"Looking north?" Liu's smug expression froze, and he said blankly: "Didn't Beiwang City cede to Beiyi, what are you going to do there?" ”
"What do you think you can do?"
Zhong Zhuyu was a little puzzled when she saw Liu, whose face turned pale in an instant, and before she could figure it out, Liu fell at her feet like a lost soul: "You... You know everything, so why are you asking me? ”
Know everything? Mother's death is related to Beiwang City?
Zhong Shuyu lifted his heart, thinking frantically in his mind about how to continue to talk quietly
"But I just want to make sure."
Liu closed his eyes, and returned to his original appearance, ignoring Zhong Zhuyu.
Zhong Shuyu was so angry that he trembled: "Tsk! I said that you are really realistic enough, you have a card in your hand and you will get up, knowing that it is a discarded card and not caring about people, to do that look like you have no love to show it! ”
Liu endured it, but still replied: "The worst thing is to put me to death, what am I afraid of." ”
Zhong Zhiyu's eyes lit up: "Really?" Have you ever tried the feeling of sawdust piercing your fingernails and then slamming them against a wall? Have you ever tried to stay alone in a dark hut of only five square meters, with no light, no sound, and no idea the passage of time? Or blindfold you and make a cut in your neck vein, so that you can slowly feel the drop of life? ”
In the end, it was the little woman who kept her eyes on the back house all day long, and when Zhong Zhuyu said this, she was frightened with her eyes: "Then I said that you can let me go?" ”
"Of course." Zhong Zhiyu readily agreed.
Liu choked up a few times, and slowly said what she knew: "I was originally the daughter of a poor family, my hometown is Liu Ping County, not far from Beiwangcheng, and I was sold to Hualou by my family when I was six years ......old."
"Getting to the point."
Liu Shi paused: "What I said is to the point. After speaking, he didn't give Zhong Zhiyu a chance to speak and continued: "Later, I became a dancing girl, after Beiwangcheng was ceded six years ago, as the people of Liuping County, which is the closest to Beiyi, were panicked and began to move with their families, I was also a member of the migration to Lin'an, but unfortunately it took me too much time to find someone to buy me, and when I started to follow the team, there were not many people on the road, and then I met a woman. ”
"My mother?"
"Yes." Liu nodded: "Everyone is going to Lin'an, but she is going in the direction of Beiwangcheng." ”
"She's trying to find me." Zhong Zhiyu said yes.
"She was in the dust, thinking that she hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and took the silver to buy us something to eat and drink. I saw that she was generously dressed in wealth, so I deliberately put it on, so she gave me a green hosta, and asked me to bring a message to the prince for her after returning to Lin'an. ”
"What?"
Liu sobbed a few times, as if he was afraid that Zhong Zhuyu would really torture her, and his voice weakened: "She found a defensive loophole in the Beiyi guards, she waited in Beiwang City for seven days, if the prince is willing to go incognito and hide in the mountains and forests from now on, he will save the county lord with her, if the prince is unwilling, she will act alone." ”
Zhong Shuyu was stunned, she didn't know about this at all, and recalled Liu's words again, and said angrily: "You didn't bring the words to you at all, right!" ”
Liu's eyes flickered from side to side, obviously weak-hearted, but he still defended himself: "How dare I, a weak woman, do such a big thing?" What's more, if you really save the county lord, what if the Beiyi people are angry and want to fight? Do we little people still have a way to live?!"
After speaking, Liu nodded heavily, as if he was persuaded by the reason he said, and he was very reasonable.
"Then why are you embarrassed to promise my mother, how are you embarrassed to accept my mother's green hosta!" Zhong Zhuyu was so angry that his heart hurt, and after speaking, he slapped it on the table as if he was venting. Suddenly dust rose and the table cracked.
Liu Shi was so frightened that his waist bent down again, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhong Zhiyu also roughly understood the cause and effect at this time, and Xue Shan said that her mother was picked up from the north by her father after she ran away for more than a month, and she was seriously ill when she came back, and she died after a few days in the room.
I think what happened in Beiwang City, which caused her mother to rob people instead of according to the plan, but was seriously injured...... Zhong Zhiyu tends to be poisoned, and it is poisoned by people who make his father jealous, otherwise the final version would not be "Died of depression because he missed his daughter." ”
In addition to the person sitting on that chair, who else in the world can make his father jealous?
The answer seems to be on the horizon, but it doesn't make sense......
Zhong Yuyu was a little depressed, he thought it was a family fight, but he didn't expect that the person involved by his mother was so big, if he was really the one sitting on that chair, he might not be able to avenge his mother.
"Oh yes!" Zhong Zhiyu's thoughts returned to his eyes, and he looked at the murderer who indirectly killed his mother with a look of disgust: "We are going to Beiwang City to fight, do you want to go together?" ”
"No!" Liu Shi replied quickly, and felt that it was not good for him to answer too quickly, so he explained stiffly: "I am a sinner, just eat fast and recite Buddha here, and pray for the blessing of the county lord and the prince......
"That's ......" Zhong Shuyu's face was full of disappointment, and he shouted out the door: "Twilight! ”
"The slave is here." Twilight pushed the door open and entered, waiting for Zhong Shuyu's instructions with a respectful expression.
"When we go to Beiwangcheng, you can find someone to help the second aunt~" Zhong Shuyu specially bit the three words of the second aunt very hard: "The second aunt wants to pray for the Lord of the county and her father, so you can find someone to send the second aunt to meet the Buddha." ”
"County Lord!" Liu's eyes widened in disbelief, and he kowtowed desperately: "Please ask the county lord to spare me... No, spare the lives of the slaves! “
"Second aunt, what are you doing?" Zhong Zhiyu bent the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were indifferent: "It's better to say this kind of thing in front of the Buddha in person." ”
"Whoa!" Dusk Yun gave up his hand, didn't even look at Liu, and escorted Zhong Zhuoyu out of the door.
Chunhe took a step slower, locked the door of the Buddha Hall with three locks, and through the crack in the door, he seemed to be able to see the Liu family sitting on the ground, looking at the door in despair.
"Why did you provoke the county lord and indirectly kill your wife?" Chunhe's face was expressionless, but his tone was really sarcastic: "Our county lord is not a soft-hearted canary who has never seen blood. ”
