Qingchuan Prefecture, Jinguan City.

The time is coming to an end, and the lack of moon on the spring night is very fickle, and I don't know when I hid in the stratus clouds.

The candle flame in the ancestral hall of the Liu family flickered slightly, as if it had taken a lot of effort to block the inky night that wanted to penetrate in.

On both sides of the ancestral hall, the uncles with the highest seniority in the Liu family sat on both sides, and in the center of the ancestral hall, a middle-aged man stood alone, and his posture was cold.

In the cold spring season, the night breeze passes through the hall, swaying the candle flame and shaking people's hearts.

An indescribable Xiao slaughter permeated the air.

An old man couldn't stand such a long suppressed silence, and asked suspiciously: "Chaoge, you gathered all the uncles here so late, but what happened to you?"

Liu Chaoge kept looking at the night in the southwest, and there was an indescribable coldness on his side face mixed in the shadows.

After hearing the question of the second uncle Liu Xingfu, Liu Chaoge did not turn around, but explained softly and inexplicably: "It's not a big deal for me, but it may be different for you, second uncle." ”

After hearing this, the old man who had been sitting at the top and had been pretending to sleep heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his open eyes, and he silently glanced at Liu Chaoge and Liu Xingfu with his white and yellowed eyes, and his cloudy eyes were full of insight into the world.

As Liu Chaoge's physical condition became worse and worse, the second branch became more and more covetous for the position of the head of the Liu family.

Could it be that the situation of the competition has reached the last moment, this is a situation he does not want to see.

"Chaoge, when you arrive at the ancestral hall of the Liu family, the ancestors and ancestors are above, if you have anything to say, just say it, while your uncle is not old and dizzy, you can't figure things out, what do you say. ”

As the thirty-second generation head of the Liu family in Jinguancheng, Liu Xingzhen is somewhat similar to Liu Chaoge's situation. He has no children, and his daughters have already married into other families and become other wives.

In addition to the efforts of his generation, the Liu family can have today's achievements, and it is indispensable that he took the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, and gave the position of head of the family to Liu Chaoge, who was cultivated by him after losing his father at a young age.

There is a good saying, no desire is rigid, although he has long been used to idle days, Liu Xingzhen's words are still very weighty, and they are the glory that belongs to the fathers.

"Uncle, wait a minute. ”

Liu Chaoge turned around, bent down and bowed slightly to Liu Xingzhen, before he came to a spiritual tablet, swept off his hem and knelt down straight, and put on three pillars of incense.

Everyone's eyes fell on him for a while, and then on the spirit card, and they all remained silent for a while.

After silently speaking to his deceased father in his heart for a while, Liu Chaoge got up and said, "After tonight, a few people from the Liu family will die." ”

Second Uncle Liu Xingfu squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Chaoge returned to the center of the ancestral hall, and did enough etiquette, and then said categorically: "All the ancestors and uncles and elders are above, Liu Chaoge, the thirty-third generation head of the Liu family, wants to get rid of Liu Zhaolang, the thirty-fourth generation descendant of the Liu family, tonight according to the ten evils of the clan rules, the crime of rebellion and murder, please learn from the ancestors and elders." ”

"What?"

"Bang-"

Liu Xingfu struggled to drop the teacup at Liu Chaoge's feet, and stood up tremblingly holding on to the handrail of the yellow rosewood.

He pointed at Liu Chaoge and shouted: "Unreasonable trouble, unreasonable trouble!" Zhao Lang had been busy with the batch of goods in White Emperor City a few days ago, and he fell ill because of this. You want to pave the way for your daughter, if you succeed, this is the real crime of rebellion and killing relatives. ”

Liu Xingzhen's pale brows also jumped, he hurriedly comforted the second child, and glanced at Liu Chaoge out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Chaoge, you can't talk nonsense about such a big thing without evidence." ”

"Big brother, what evidence will there be that this man is crazy!"

"This ......"

Liu Xingzhen looked at the peers present, only to see the third Liu Xingshan hesitantly said: "Chaoge nephew, you really can't talk nonsense." ”

Liu Chaoge quietly looked at the demeanor of the elders, silently discerning who was acting in his heart, and he found that even Liu Zhaolang's grandfather Liu Xingfu seemed to be just angry, and there was no dodge in his eyes.

"Elders take a good look at it first. ”

He didn't want to waste time, and the show was about to be staged, so he wrote down all the information he could collect in the past few days on paper and distributed it to all the uncles present.

"Corrupt ......"

"Forcibly seizing ......"

"Infringement ......"

"Murderous !!"

Everyone has a copy, and the more they turn back, the more frightened they see, it is really hard to imagine that the juniors who are usually polite to their elders have made so many big mistakes.

They all set their sights on the grandfather who started it.

Liu Xingfu felt the hidden meaning in the eyes of his peers and brothers, most of which were questions, so angry that he blew his white beard and directly tore a few pieces of letter paper in his hand.

Knowing that incompetent rage was the most useless, so after he tried to calm his mood, he slowly said word by word: "I can write a book with the storyteller of the Ming Qian Teahouse for such a thing, and it can't explain anything without substantive human and material evidence." ”

Liu Chaoge smiled and said: "The things written on the paper are definitely not complete, as for whether all of them can be written down with the thickness of a book, I am not interested, I can assure you uncles, these things are all found by me from the complaint recorded by the Jinguancheng Prosecutor's Office, if you want to verify the authenticity, how about I send someone to find those accusers to face to face tomorrow?"

"Huh. ”

Liu Xingfu suddenly realized in his heart, Liu Chaoge was afraid that he was dying, so he wanted to pull people into the water.

He suppressed his anger, planning to delay as long as he could, and said: "Since the secretary has already accepted the register, let them handle it, do you still want to go beyond the official mansion and use lynching?"

"This ......"

Liu Xingzhen looked at the content written on the paper, most of them were things about Liu Zhaolang's bullying and killing of civilians, in fact, he had already believed seven or eight points, but the sons of the Liu family were originally different from those untouchable civilians, one was in the sky and the other was on the ground, even if Liu Zhaolang made a mistake, he would not be guilty of death.

Liu Chaoge shook his head, "It's just an appetizer tea before the meal, since your uncles don't think so, then I won't talk nonsense anymore." ”

"Miaozhen, come in. ”

As soon as Liu Chaoge's words fell, he saw a beautiful woman coming slowly from the night outside the gate of the ancestral hall.

"Miaozhen, why are you coming to my Liu family ancestral hall?"

After Li Miaozhen entered the ancestral hall, before he could salute the old people, he was pulled to his side by Liu Xingzhen in three steps and two steps.

Liu Xingzhen looked at Li Miaozhen and then at Liu Chaoge, knowing that it would be difficult to be good tonight, he asked Liu Chaoge: "Chaoge, this is my Liu family's business, what do you want to do when you call Miaozhen to the Liu family ancestral hall so late." ”

Li Miaozhen was pretty on the side, took Liu Xingzhen's palm and said softly: "Grandpa, it was Miaozhen who came on his own initiative." ”

"What do you mean?"

Liu Chaoge glanced at Miaozhen kindly, and said: "Uncle is angry, I actually don't want to involve Miaozhen, but I can't resist her, speaking of which, tonight's gathering is still because of Miaozhen." ”

"What? Then Liu Zhaolang's rabbit cub bullied my obedient grandson? Miaozhen, tell me where you were bullied, and your grandfather will definitely support you. ”

Liu Xingzhen was particularly angry after speaking, and stared at his second brother Liu Xingfu viciously.

Li Miaozhen followed her grandfather's gaze and looked at Liu Xingfu and said, "Second grandfather, haven't you been clamoring for a witness, I am the witness!"

"Two days ago, I came to see Uncle Chaoge as usual, and after the treatment, Uncle Chaoge asked me to come and see your grandson Liu Zhaolang, and when I walked outside his door, I overheard their conversation. ”

Li Miaozhen saw that everyone present was listening carefully, and continued to say calmly: "It is unimaginable that what Liu Zhaolang and they are talking about is actually a conspiracy to murder someone, and the object to be killed is my sister Wei Rui, this is not counting, after I heard it, they even wanted to plot to kill Uncle Chaoge, and the time of the launch was tonight, they planned to take advantage of the uncle's sleep, directly forcibly feeding him a very powerful poison, causing him to die of illness." ”

"Bang bang bang-"

Liu Xingfu waved his hand and threw all the teacups on the table to the ground, shouting loudly: "This is impossible!"

His white hair spread out, his description was sloppy, looking at Liu Xingzhen and Liu Chaoge as if he understood something, he pointed at them and said loudly: "I see, I see, you are afraid that my good grandson will be in charge of the Liu family, so you deliberately planted it." ”

Liu Chaoge didn't want to explain more, he knew that he would never be able to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep.

"In that case, several uncles are affected, how about I invite you to stay in that secret room of my bedroom for a while, if what Miao Zhen said is true, then in about another hour you can see Zhao Lang's child perform a good show of killing relatives for everyone. ”

......

Among the green hills, the road winds endlessly, and a caravan of more than 100 people has re-embarked on their way home.

Mu Qing asked Tie Gu Zhai for a few carriages with carriages for rest, and at this time, the hollow box hidden under Liu Weirui's seat cushion made a slight knocking sound.

The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, after Lu Fanrou was rescued by Mu Qing, she stayed in the Iron Bone Village for three days, and stayed in Xiaochan's house, but she was not discovered.

Thinking about it, the instability of the people in the Iron Bone Village is also one of the reasons for this.

In order to finish the role of a good person, when he left the village, Mu Qing hid Lu Fanrou in the largest carriage.

He originally thought that the suspicious Lin Wen would let people check and check, but he didn't expect that the other party was in a good mood because he had sent away Geng Jian's plague god, and he wanted to show his sincerity to Mu Qing, and Mu Qing also asked him to accept it with a smile.

"Sister Fan Rou, are you okay?"

Liu Weirui helped Lu Fanrou to lean on the cushion, looking at the slightly red placket on her chest.

The caravan was almost three kilometers away from the Iron Bone Village, and Liu Weirui was really afraid that Lu Fanrou would be suffocated, knowing that the other party was seriously injured.

Lu Fanrou patted Liu Weirui's little hand, "Sister, don't worry, this injury is nothing to us martial artists." ”

"Ahh

"Pss

Liu Weirui covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister, don't be reckless, I'll let Mu Qing come and show you, your wound may be cracked." ”

Lu Fanrou hurriedly stopped: "Don't, you can call Sister Xiaochan to change the dressing for me, don't trouble Mr. Mu Qing." ”

"That's it!"

After Xiaochan finished speaking with a smile, she was about to get out of the car but was grabbed by Lu Fanrou's arm.

I saw her gossipy and whispered: "Xiaochan, what is Mr. Mu Qing's specific identity, I feel that he is quite mysterious." ”

Because everyone's injuries are improving, Xiaochan's originally slightly pale pretty face has also returned to a little ruddy.

She picked up the scattered green silk behind her ear, and said with a smile: "Sister Fan Rou, in my eyes, Mu Qing Gongzi has only one identity, he is the savior and great benefactor of all our caravan, with high martial arts, good medical skills, and ......good looks."

"Ahh

Finding that she had run away unknowingly, she lowered her head in shame and said softly: "If Sister Fanrou wants to ask about the origin of Mu Qinggongzi, then you have asked the wrong person, you should ask my young lady." ”+

Liu Weirui smiled and pinched Xiaochan's pretty face, "My sister is really not ashamed." ”

She pulled the curtain and looked forward, Mu Qing and a black horse in white were in front of her, carrying a short sword cross-body, her back was straight, and her handsome figure was bathed in the warm spring sun, indescribably comfortable and chic.
