After the tea was offered, Cheng Liwen said with a smile: "The lower officials have always heard that Lord Liu is busy with official business, and I don't know why Lord Liu came to my household department today?" ”

Liu Yi didn't go around in circles and asked directly: "Does Lord Cheng's family have a concubine from Bashu with her maiden name Fang?" ”

Liu Yi said that he was proud, and Cheng Liwen said: "Yes, yes, that's my beloved concubine, called Fang Xiaowan." ”

Liu Yi leaned over and leaned over Cheng Liwen and said word by word: "Master Cheng, I suspect that she is hiding Fang Lu. ”

Cheng Liwen was extremely sad, and was so frightened that he fell from his chair to the ground in fright, trembling all over. Liu Zhen and Wang Zhen hurriedly helped him up from the ground and sat back on the chair, and Wang Zhen handed Cheng Liwen a cup of hot tea and asked him to take a sip of tea to be shocked. Cheng Liwen shook off half a cup of tea before barely taking a sip.

Cheng Liwen put down the teacup and cried to Liu Yan: "Lord Liu, the lower officials are wronged!" The officials didn't know about this at all! That stupid woman I bought back with my money, and she told me that her family had all died because of the famine, and now she was the only one left. Lord Liu Mingjian, Xia Guan would not risk his life to do such a stupid thing no matter what! The lower official is really wronged! ”

Liu Yi said calmly: "Master Cheng, you don't have to say anything now. It's important to catch the prisoner! Take me to your house and find out the people, and if you really don't know, I will definitely play for you. ”

Cheng Liwen stood up tremblingly, and Liu Yi and Wang Zhen helped him out of the door and got into the carriage. The group came to the door of Chengfu by carriage, and the military officials had already surrounded Chengfu, and at this moment the housekeeper of Chengfu was leading his family to reason with Qin Bantou at the door.

Liu Yi and Wang Zhen helped Cheng Liwen get out of the car. Cheng Liwen saw the battle of the military officials, and knew that Liu Yi was very sure that Fang Lu would hide in the mansion to do this, and he was a little disheartened at the moment, and shook his head again and again.

The housekeeper of the Cheng Mansion saw Cheng Liwen and hurriedly stepped forward and complained: "Master, look at these military officials of the Jianwei Mansion......"

Cheng Liwen waved his hand to interrupt the butler's words and said, "Butler, go and invite Xiaowan to the main hall." ”

The housekeeper saw that the situation was a little wrong, so he didn't say much, hugged his fists and went to invite Fang Xiaowan.

Everyone came to the main hall, Liu Yi sat down on the top, Cheng Liwen did not dare to sit on the lower right side of Liu Yan, Qin Bantou and Wang Zhen stood on the left side of Liu Yan. Four other military officials stood guard at the door of the main hall with long sticks.

Fang Xiaowan was taken to the main hall, but at the age of eighteen or nineteen, she was delicate and charming, and Liu Yi and the others were moved in their hearts when they saw it. Fang Xiaowan saw the battle in the main hall and knew that things couldn't be hidden, but Cheng Liwen loved her on weekdays, and she still had illusions about Cheng Liwen.

So, Fang Xiaowan greeted him and said in a loud voice: "Master~, are you back?" ”

At this moment, Cheng Liwen doesn't care what kind of amorous you have, and scolded angrily: "Cheap woman! You still don't hand people over! You want to kill my whole family! ”

Xiao Wan's heart tingled, and she felt that Cheng Liwen was going to leave her, but she still asked in disbelief: "Master, what's wrong with you?" I'm Xiaowan! ”

Cheng Liwen stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "You, you know what you have done!" ”

Liu Yi sat on the top and looked impatient, and said, "Fang Xiaowan, we know that you have hidden Fang Lu, my people have surrounded this place, and Fang Lu will not escape today." I advise you to hand them over obediently, or you will be punished and served!" ”

Xiao Wan stood alone in the center of the hall, feeling extremely lonely, was it wrong to hide her father as a daughter? But even Cheng Liwen, who loves her and loves her on weekdays, and says all the good things in the world to her, broke off the relationship with herself as soon as possible.

Xiao Wan smiled sadly and said, "I don't have anything to say." You big men just want to bully me a weak woman, don't be afraid of the world's shame, just do it! ”

Liu Yan said angrily: "What a woman dares to hurt people when she is dying!" Come! Twenty of the heavy rods of this wretched woman. ”

Outside the hall, the four military officials had to order Xiaowan to step forward and press Xiaowan, two of them held down their arms, and the two were executed. The executioners are all veterans, and every stick hurts the muscles and bones, Xiaowan, an eighteen- or nine-year-old girl with fine skin and tender flesh, can bear it, and when she hits the sixth stick, she has passed out in pain.

Liu Yi said: "Wake her up!" ”

Qin Bantou stepped forward to support Xiao Wan's face and woke her up.

After Xiaowan was rescued, she saw that Cheng Liwen ignored her, so she scolded: "Cheng Liwen, you old horseman!" You don't even dare to squeak when your own woman is bullied, you're still not a man! Dog stuff! Not people! I'm so blind! ”

Cheng Liwen wanted to prove his innocence, so he said: "Xiaowan, don't be stupid! Fang Lu, you can't hide it, say it quickly! Do you want my whole family to suffer with you? ”

Xiao Wan scolded Cheng Liwen endlessly, Liu Yan was impatient, and said, "Continue the execution!" ”

Wang Zhen stopped: "Slow down! ”

Then Wang Zhen said to Cheng Liwen: "Master Cheng, this is about the life of your family, I advise you to go and ask Mrs. Zun to come out." If we can't ask, Mrs. Zun will definitely be able to ask. As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wan, who was lying on the ground, immediately cast a resentful look at Wang Qian.

Cheng Liwen begged: "Xiaowan, just say it, the lives of my family are in your hands." Xiao Wan turned her face away from Cheng Liwen.

Cheng Liwen turned his heart sideways and said, "Housekeeper, go and invite Mrs. to come!" ”

Xiao Wan said quickly: "Wait! I say! ”

Liu Yi waved his hand to signal the military officials to retreat, and the two military officials who held Xiao Wan let go and retreated.

Xiao Wan stood up and tidied up her dress, brushed the messy hair on her forehead, and said calmly, "The person is hiding in the compartment of the firewood room." ”

Liu Yi waved his hand, and Qin Bantou and the four military officials pulled the housekeeper to lead the way to arrest people. Just when everyone's attention was on Qin Ban and the others, Xiao Wan was silent, and suddenly a runner crashed into the pillar next to Cheng Liwen.

Everyone turned their heads to check when they heard the sound, and Xiao Wan had already lost her fragrance and died. Cheng Liwen knelt on the ground and cried loudly when he lost his beloved concubine, and Liu Yi and Wang Zhen also felt sorry for it.

Liu Yi sighed: "Fang Xiaowan is really a martyr! ”

After a while, four military officials escorted a man wearing a Taoist robe, his hair was messy, and he returned to the main hall with Qin Bantou. Qin Bantou took out the portrait of Fang Lu from his arms and compared it next to the man's face to show Liu Yi.

Qin Bantou said: "My lord, this person is Fang Lu!" ”

When Fang Lu walked into the hall, he had already seen Xiao Wan's body on the ground, and now it was conclusively identified by the evidence, and he was afraid that he would suddenly fall to his knees and kowtow desperately to beg for mercy.

Liu Yi saw that Fang Lu only had a shameless face that was greedy for life and afraid of death, and there was no sadness, so he asked, "Fang Lu, who are you Fang Xiaowan on the ground?" ”

Fang Lu kowtowed and said, "My lord, spare your life!" Spare your life! My lord, Xiaowan is my daughter. ”

Liu Yan asked: "Since Fang Xiaowan is your daughter, she died to hide and shield you, why don't you feel the slightest sadness and guilt?" ”

Fang Lu turned his head to look at Fang Xiaowan's corpse, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy without replying.
