Chapter 65 People with foreign accents
Finally, I would like to say: Little sister, no matter what your identity is, you are my little sister, and always will be. Protect yourself. Second brother stays!
After reading the letter, Liu Yu's tears flowed down involuntarily, and she held the letter tightly in her chest, her heart twitching with pain.
But no matter how sad Liu Yu is, her second brother will not come back to life. I hate the White Lotus Sect in my heart, and I can't wait to drink Yao Zhifu's blood and eat his flesh.
Liu Yu swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would catch Yao Zhifu back with a thousand cuts.
After the sadness, Liu Yu received the letter into a space in the warehouse, and even put the half of the jade match in it.
A note was also pasted on the outside of the lattice for remarks, and in the future, this lattice was dedicated to all kinds of letters and account books.
After putting away all these items that could not appear, he left the space and left the small courtyard.
The next day, Liu Yu was about to go to the small courtyard where the second brother lived before his death, but he didn't expect the official in front of him to come and say, "There is a feng shui master outside the door who has come to ask to see the adult." ”
As soon as Liu Yu heard it, he knew that the master who was supposed to find a cemetery for his second brother had returned. It seems that a place has been found.
Hurriedly instructed the official to bring the master to the main hall, Liu Yu straightened the collar, and then came to the main hall with his hands behind his back, the master and another young man had been standing in the hall waiting, seeing Liu Yu walk in, the master hurriedly took the apprentice to salute Liu Yu.
Liu Yu said, "No courtesy!" and sat down at the top of the seat.
After sitting down, Liu Yu asked, "The master came to look for the official, but he found a place?"
Back to the adult's words: "Lao Dao is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has found a good place." Lao Dao came here today to take adults to check. If you are not satisfied, you can look elsewhere. ”
"There is a chief of the road to lead the way. Liu Yu said politely to the Dao Chief.
Liu Yu took two officials and followed the master to the outside of the city, and went to see the land, which was behind a mountain, and there was a small stream in front of it.
Liu Yu looked around and found that this place was indeed good, and the master also told her how to place the coffin in the place where it was excavated.
After returning to the city, Liu Yu asked one of the servants to send a letter to the old servant, telling him that he would not go to the small courtyard after choosing a good place.
The monk's chanting will not end until tomorrow, and he will go to the funeral after reciting the sutra.
When Liu Yu went out of the city just now, she suddenly remembered the robber who was caught by her last time and put in prison. I was in a hurry last time, and I handed these people over to the prefect, I don't know if he asked something?
Back at the yamen of the state capital, Liu Yu found the prefect and asked him about the robbers who were locked up in prison.
Unexpectedly, the prefect actually told her that she was taken away by the people of Fucheng, saying that the governor was going to interrogate.
"You, what are you asking me to say about you?" Liu Yu was angry and speechless.
When the prefect saw that Liu Yu's face was not good, he knew that he had done something wrong. But the Governor sent someone to ask for someone, and he couldn't help but give it!
The prefect wiped the non-existent sweat with his sleeve, he hoped that Lord Qincha would dissipate his anger, and carefully proposed to Liu Yu: "My lord, why don't you send someone to chase them back?"
"No need. Liu Yu waved his hand to stop him.
Later, Liu Yu asked again: "Did you ask anything before these robbers were taken away?"
"No, these people have very tight mouths. Xia Guan didn't ask anything. The prefect replied.
Liu Yu was a little disappointed when he heard this, and the person was let go like this, but he didn't get any useful clues. Liu Yu waved her hand to let the prefect go down, she wanted to be quiet alone.
At this time, the prefect said something that aroused Liu Yu's suspicions?
The prefect said to Liu Yu: "When the lower officials were interrogating these robbers, one of them spoke with a different accent from the others, and he was shorter than the others. Xia Guan suspected that he was not from Henan. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he could start from this person with a foreign accent.
So, Liu Yu asked, "Do you remember this person's appearance?"
"Yes. The prefect replied.
"Is there a painter in the house? ”
"Yes!"
After a while, a thin old man with a mustache came to the two of them, and knelt down without raising his head after entering the main hall.
Liu Yu asked him to get up, and asked his subordinates to carry a table over, on which were placed the four treasures of the study.
He said to the painter, "You will draw whatever the prefect says." Spell out a portrait. ”
"Yes!" replied the painter as he came to the bottom of the table.
The prefect tried to recall the appearance of that person when he went to the prison for interrogation that day. He said: "This person has a pair of small slender eyes, but his gaze is fierce.
His messy hair hung down to his face, covering half of his face. He has a wide nose and a wide mouth, and there seems to be a scar at the corner of his left eye. That's about it. ”
After the painter finished painting, he left the table, Liu Yu came to the table, picked up the painted portrait and looked at it, and found that all the features it should have were there.
Liu Yu nodded and said, "That's right! ”
The painter drew another one according to the portrait just now, and handed it to Liu Yu after the painting was finished.
After Liu Yu took it, he compared it with the one just now, and found that there was not much difference, so he waved his hand to let the painter go down.
Liu Yu handed one of the portraits to the prefect and said, "Take this painting and let people copy it." ”
The prefect took it with both hands and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had done something that satisfied Lord Qincha.
Liu Yu put away the rest of the portrait by herself and kept it for later comparison.
Soon came the evening of the next day, and Liu Yu came to the courtyard early.
At this time, all the burial items in the small courtyard are ready, and the person carrying the coffin is also ready. After Liu Yu arrived, the funeral procession began to travel.
Liu Yu followed the crowd to the outside of the city and put the coffin into the long earthen pit that had been dug earlier. The monks sat around the coffin, chanting the scriptures and burning their hands to copy the scriptures, and after a ritual, they heard the leading monk shouting: "The ceremony is complete, you can fill the soil." ”
After everything was completed, except for Liu Yu, everyone else left one after another.
Liu Yu stood alone in front of the new grave for a long time, in fact, she had a lot of words that she hadn't had time to say. But now there is no chance.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu squatted on the ground, holding the wooden tombstone and crying silently. I didn't leave until it was completely dark.
The next day, Liu Yu left Xuzhou with He Guard, Fan Jinwen and a cadre of officials, and before leaving, Liu Yu asked the prefect to continue to pay attention to the victims, and the imperial court that could return to his hometown should discharge the victims from returning to their hometowns.
Those who are temporarily unable to return to their hometowns should also settle the victims. Always pay attention to the White Lotus Sect organization, and report to her if there is any trouble.
This time, Liu Yu did not ride a horse when he returned to Kaifeng, and went to Kaifeng slowly in the carriage provided by the prefect of Xuzhou. Now that the disaster has eased a lot, there is no need to rush so much.
As for the murder of Lord Shen, there is no clue yet, according to what Li Hengyao said before, Lu Zhizhong is very suspicious.
Liu Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, did not practice today, thinking about Shen Shi'an's killing. I was thinking about it, but I noticed that the carriage had stopped.
The He guard, who was driving the carriage, said to Liu Yu: "My lord, I have been walking for most of the day, and people are sleepy and tired. It was getting dark, and there was a river in front of him, and Master Fan said to rest here for the night. ”
