Just when Liu Bowen happily comforted each other, the doorman shouted from outside the mansion gate: "Father-in-law Chu has arrived, Master Hu has arrived!" Speaking of the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, he led Chu Xing and Hu Weiyong, as well as a person with a medicine box in his hand, and several guards into the inner courtyard and came to the door of the inner room.

&See Gonggong Chu! See Lord Hu! &;Push open the door happily and quickly salute the two; Immediately, chairs were brought to them.

& My father-in-law and adults came to visit, and I was very happy. Liu Bowen, who was lying on the hospital bed, bowed slightly and said softly.

& Lord Liu doesn't need to be polite, our family came here today, first, to visit Lord Liu for the emperor. Speaking of this, Chu Xing paused.

Liu Bowen, who was on the hospital bed, hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister is unforgettable." When Liu Bowen said these words, he couldn't help but have a little doubt in his eyes.

After he finished speaking, Chu Xing said again: "Second, Lord Hu heard that Lord Liu was seriously ill, so he begged the emperor to allow him to bring someone here to treat his illness. &>

Listening to Chu Xing's words, a trace of helplessness flashed in Liu Bowen's eyes; But this is a message from the emperor himself, but he can't refuse; After thinking about it, Liu Bowen said: "Please ask the Duke of Chu to restore the emperor, and the minister Liu Bowen will thank the emperor for his grace; However, my disease cannot be cured without the ice carp as a medicine. Moreover, the prince of Chu will soon find the ice carp, please don't worry too much about the minister's illness. &>

"Lord Liu, it is because I have this kind of ice carp here that I implore the emperor to come and treat you. Hu Weiyong, who had been sitting on the side and didn't speak, immediately stood up and said when he heard this.

& Oh! Lord Hu actually has an ice carp? Liu Bowen felt a little incredible, he had never heard of him having such a thing; Just when the smoke reported that the emperor was going to find the ice carp for himself, this guy didn't say anything; But why did he say that he was an ice carp again when Liuyan and the others were gone? Thinking of this, the worry in Liu Bowen's eyes became even heavier.

>> Lord Liu doesn't have to think about it, I also found out that Youlangzhong has this kind of thing in the past two days, so I urgently found it for you; You see, I even brought Lang Zhong himself. As he spoke, Hu Weiyong brought Lang Zhong, who was standing on the side, to the bed.

& Sima Langzhong, hurry up to check the pulse of Lord Liu, so that he can dispense medicine for Lord Liu and give it to him. Hu Weiyong immediately commanded.

& There are two adults, I have been sick for so many days, so I don't need to work this Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat me; I also thank Mr. Hu for your concern. Liu Bowen said with a fist.

>> How can this be, this is all approved by the emperor; If I don't do my best, I will be rebuked by the emperor; Lord Liu doesn't want to embarrass the two of us. As he spoke, Hu Weiyong pointed to Chu Xing next to him.

& And so there is Dr. Law. In desperation, Liu Bowen stretched out his right hand; The doctor pretended to put the three fingers of his right hand on Liu Bowen's right wrist, as if he was very serious about diagnosing him.

& Lord Liu's condition is indeed very serious; If you don't rush to diagnose and treat, you will have to worry about your life; Fortunately, I have all the medicines needed for this disease, so adults don't have to worry about it. Lang Zhong pretended to ponder for a while before he spoke.

In that case, you don't go and dispense medicine for adults. Hu Weiyong said a little sternly.

>> Yes, yes, go down here. As he spoke, he took out a lot of small medicine bottles from the medicine box, poured them into a small jade bowl, and stirred them; Then put a roasted Xiaoice carp into it, gently mash it, then add honey, mix it, and finally form several medicinal grains and hand it to Liu Bowen's hands.

&Adults take pills. Lang Zhong then said.

Looking at Hu Weiyong and Chu Xing who were sitting on the side, a trace of gloom instantly appeared on Liu Bowen's face, and then he returned to a smiling face, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan's illness, if it is really cured because of this; I'm going to visit Lord Hu's house a lot, thank you for what you have done for me. After speaking, he took the water cup handed over by Xingxing, poured all the medicine grains into his mouth with a raised neck, and then sent it down with whom.

But just when he was taking the medicine, Hu Weiyong's face suddenly showed fear after listening to his words, but in an instant, he returned to his original state, and watched Liu Bowen finish the medicine with interest.

>> Father-in-law Chu, since we have completed what the emperor has sent and Lord Liu has also finished taking the medicine; We'll go back to our lives, what do you think? Hu Weiyong stood up and bowed to Chu Xing and said.

& Our family doesn't have any opinions, Lord Liu, our family has taken their leave. Saying that, Chu Xing took the lead and walked to the door.

& Xiaguan sent off Gonggong Chu and Lord Hu. Liu Bowen, who was on the hospital bed, barely raised his upper body and said softly.

Looking at Chu Xing and his party who disappeared outside the courtyard, and then looking at the happiness of the teapot and teacup that were still left in the house, Liu Bowen felt very sad in his heart; It seems that the emperor doesn't want to let himself go, and today's matter is weird, I'm afraid that he is more than lucky; However, this Hu Weiyong came with the emperor's order, and it was impossible for him to refuse; is also like his own death, all the family members will not be like those who were hated and executed by the emperor, and even their family members will be killed; It seems that it is really just a matter of fate.

Thinking of this, Liu Bowen let go of the burden in his heart, closed his eyes, and lay quietly on the bed; But he didn't expect that after this sleep, he would leave his good friends and all his family members forever.

& Emperor Qi, Liu Bowen died of illness in the palace. Chu Xing walked into the imperial study quickly, knelt down in front of the dragon case, and said loudly.

&Oh, did Liu Bowen really die? Zhu Yuanzhang put down the fold in his hand unhurriedly, and asked in a slow voice.

& Yes, the governor of Liu's Mansion has gone to the ministry to deliver the post of the obituary; Therefore, the servant of the ministry came to ask to see the emperor and sent a recital. Chu Xing replied.

> I know, I left him behind, and asked him to go back and tell the head of Liu's Mansion to quickly arrange the mourning hall; At the same time, he ordered to go down and let all the officials go to Liu's mansion to mourn; I will also visit Liu's Mansion in person. Zhu Yuanzhang then ordered.

&Yes! Emperor! Chu Xing withdrew from the imperial study and walked quickly to the outside of the palace.

The next day, white cloths were hung on the inside and outside gates of Liu's mansion, and all the family members and subordinates were busy wearing linen and filial piety; There are also managers and others who are busy greeting the condolences of the officials who keep coming in. And set up some bamboo sheds outside the gate of the house, the bamboo sheds were full of people, each wearing various colors of official uniforms, and some people wearing black clothes were sandwiched between them, at a glance, I saw that these people were all sitting there silently. But there are no noisy and laughing people, among which there are also men wearing linen and filial piety, shuttling between the sheds, and these people's expressions are full of sadness.

In the front yard of the house, it may have been arranged as a mourning hall, and a faint cry came from there. After entering the mourning hall, many officials turned back to the bamboo hut outside.

was in a hurry, and suddenly there was a loud shout from outside the house: "The emperor has arrived!" As soon as this voice was shouted, everyone, whether officials or subordinates, knelt down on both sides of the aisle, facing outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang, surrounded by several guards, walked from the aisle to the mourning hall set up in the mansion; came to the spirit, comforted Liu Bowen's family a few words, and then took the incense sent and inserted it in the incense burner in front of the spirit; Only then did he pretend to be sad and touched his eyes and made a sad look.

However, Shi Li, an official of the Ministry of Rites who came with him, said: "Emperor Qi, the minister observed the sky yesterday night and found Lord Liu's condolences, which should be completed as soon as possible, and the body of Lord Liu should be cremated immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be good for the Ming Dynasty." &>

&Alas! My heart really hurts! Such a good courtier left me; But Heaven still did not let him be at peace, and even wanted to cremate his remains. Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sigh.

The official of the Ministry of Rites said again: "The minister implores the emperor to take a state affair as a matter of great importance, and to cremate the remains of Lord Liu as soon as possible; Otherwise, once a disaster occurs, the people will be displaced, which is probably what Lord Liu does not want to see. &>

&Alas, since that's the case, I'm sorry for Liu Aiqing. Zhu Yuanzhang said in embarrassment; Then he changed his words and said to the guards beside him, "Hurry up and arrange the cremation." &>

>> Your Majesty. &;A guard beside him ran quickly to the outside of the mansion, and soon brought a carriage and stopped outside the mansion; Subsequently, the guards in the mansion moved the coffin containing Liu Bowen's body from the mourning hall, carried it to the carriage outside the mansion, and headed towards the crematorium.

Because it was approved by the emperor, no one dared to stop it, and the people of the Liu Mansion could only cry loudly, watching the coffin being carried away and pulled towards the crematorium.

Just when there was such a commotion, there was a singing harmony from outside again: >. Lord Xu of the Right Xiangguo arrived. &;Xu Da ran in the prime minister's house quickly; When he came to the emperor and bowed down, he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, why do you want to cremate the body of Lord Liu Bowen and Lord Liu?" &>

& Why, do I have to ask you for advice on something? Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, and he asked a little angrily.

The minister didn't dare to say this, but he just wanted to ask the emperor about the reason. Xu Dacheng said in fear, bending his waist deeper.

& Ma Tianguan, you tell Xu Aiqing. Zhu Yuanzhang walked out as he spoke, and then drove back to the palace; And Ma Tianguan, who stayed behind, told Xu Da what he said to the emperor again.

& May I ask Ma Tianguan, where did you start with this? Xu Da pressed the anger in his heart, his voice was a little loud, and he asked tightly.

& Could it be that the emperor believes in things, can Lord Xu doubt it? &;Ma Tianguan avoided Xu Da's question and said.

& I'm not against the Emperor's decision, I just think these things are a bit bizarre; So I would like to ask Lord Tianguan, when did you find out that this phenomenon existed? Xu Da asked again.

"Lord Xu, I said it all, this is what I found by observing the sky at night; Because of my duty, I must ask the emperor to know; If you have any questions, please ask the adults to come into the palace and ask the emperor; Now the next official is leaving. After speaking, Ma Tianguan turned around and left Liu's mansion.

Xu Da, who was suspicious, had no choice but to endure the action that he wanted to catch up with and continue to ask, came to the mourning hall, and bowed three times to the mourning hall without a coffin; Then he took the incense handed over to him and inserted it into the incense burner in front of him.

Seeing the emperor leaving, Liu's family began to cry again, and this time their sad cries were even worse than at the beginning

>> What is the matter with your summons? Sima Langzhong, who dispensed medicine to Liu Bowen, walked into Hu Weiyong's house that night and met Hu Weiyong in a study under the support of two big men in black.

In this study, a few lanterns hanging on the lantern stand emitted a somewhat dark red light, which reflected the room a little dimly; A round table was already lined with plates of delicious dishes; A delicate porcelain flask is placed in the center.

Hearing Sima Langzhong walk in, Hu Weiyong, who was standing facing the wall with his hands behind his back, slowly turned around, looked at him with a smile, and then said: "Hurry up and ask Dr. Sima to sit down." &>

A black-clothed man behind him immediately moved his chair and motioned for Sima Langzhong to sit down; Trembling, he carefully sat half of the ** on the chair; Seeing another big man move a chair and ask Hu Weiyong to sit down, he immediately stood up and nodded.

&Sit down, it's okay, sit down. Hu Weiyong, who was sitting on the chair and looking at him with a smile, raised his hand, waved it a few times, and then said.

& In front of adults, where is there a seat for the villain. &;Sima Langzhong said humbly.

>> We're just talking, don't be so restrained; Come on, have a glass of wine first. As he spoke, Hu Weiyong picked up the wine glass in his hand and said to Sima Langzhong.

& Yes yes yes I drink, I drink. Sima Langzhong picked up the wine glass in front of him in a panic, brought it to his mouth with trembling hands and drank it, and almost spilled half of the wine in the wine glass on his chest.

& Mr. Sima, what's the matter? Am I here Longtan Tiger**? Hu Weiyong asked with a smile as if he didn't know what Sima Lang was thinking in the center.

"No, no, no, no, I am the man who has shown me so much hospitality and let me be flattered. Sima Langzhong's voice trembled, and he said tremblingly.

& It seems that Mr. Sima has something on his mind, right? Hu Weiyong smiled and said softly. But when he heard these words, in Sima Langzhong's ears, it was like a thunderclap exploding in his ears; He trembled with fright, and his face immediately turned pale, and his whole body went limp, and he almost slipped down the chair under the table.

&Nothing to worry about; I'm so happy, and I'm so excited that adults look at me like this. &;Sima Langzhong said busily; Desperately trying to stabilize the tremors all over his body.

& Mr. Sima, don't be afraid of anything? Regarding the matter of treating Liu Bowen and Lord Liu, Hu Weiyong deliberately dragged out his voice, looked at Sima Langzhong, who was trembling even more, and then continued: "You just have to boldly admit it, let's go to treat him, is this a good thing, is there anything you can't say; If someone asks, you just say yes. &>

& This &; Sima Lang didn't know what to say.

&What should I say, I'm afraid you don't need me to tell you what to say! If that's the case, what's the point of being a human being? Your family isn't that smart, is it? Hu Weiyong said with a smile on his face, but his tone was cold and scary.

&Know, know; To tell the truth, we are anxious about Lord Liu's condition, and we will take medicine for him; That's right, Lord Hu. &;Frightened by Hu Weiyong, Sima Langzhong's words slipped smoothly and said hurriedly.

>> yes, yes, that's the thing, you just say it; What is there to worry about, you just have to tell the truth, and I will take care of everything for you. As he spoke, Hu Weiyong raised his glass again and motioned for Sima Langzhong to drink.

>> My lord, I have eaten and drunk enough; Please use it slowly. Sima Langzhong stood up and said respectfully.

>> Well, in that case, Hu Da and Hu Er sent Sima Langzhong home, Mr. Sima, I think you know how to say it to your family, right? &;Hu Weiyong said to the man in black in the previous sentence, and said to Sima Langzhong in the latter sentence.

& Yes, yes, my family has always believed in me. Sima Langzhong said tremblingly as he retreated.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the two big men sitting beside him, Sima Langzhong couldn't help but secretly wipe the sweat on his forehead in the dark; What will be the road in the future, you can only leave it to fate; As long as he can save his family's life, God takes good care of him.

It seems that whether his family can survive depends on how he escapes the future pass

&What? How did Big Brother Liu die? Grabbing the housekeeper's clothes, Chu Liuyan's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't believe that there was a soul flag and Bai Xiaobu in front of him.

And Xiaoxiao rushed into the mansion one step earlier, shouting loudly: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Why did he leave suddenly! &>

Hearing the announcement, his face was full of tears, and he ran out to greet them. But Xiaoxiao, who ran in, grabbed her hands and asked loudly: "Happy, what the hell is going on?" &>

& The old man came to see the doctor in the middle of the old man who took Master Hu and took the medicine they dispensed, and he didn't wake up at night after falling asleep! Lord Chu, you have to be the master of our lord. &;Happy shouted to Chu Liuyan, who was still standing outside the door.

This voice shouted, Chu Liuyan trembled, and then came to his senses; Walked quickly to the two of them and asked, "Happy, where is your lord's mourning hall?" &>

& Lord Chu, my lord's body was cremated&; Happy to hear this, I cried even more grief.

&Who, who approved the cremation of your lord's body? Chu Liuyan was also shocked by this remark, and hurriedly asked.

Happy will tell Chu Liuyan all the things on the day of condolence, from beginning to end; even told Chu Liuyan about Xu Da's late arrival. Hearing these words, she became calm, and said with tears in her eyes: "Happy, Hu Weiyong brought someone to dispense medicine for Brother Liu, you can also tell me about it." &>

wiped a few handfuls of tears indiscriminately, and happily began to carefully talk about the day. Even Lang Zhong's movements are explained in detail.!
