"If you don't come early or late, you just come to touch my head at this juncture, I want to see who is so good at choosing the day!" Lu Tingxiang said angrily, "Don't confront the government, let them lead the army in!"

The subordinates hurriedly passed the order and left, Lu Tingxiang looked at the mess in the Chongwu Courtyard, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. Seeing this, Sikong Zhu couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and asked in a low voice: "Childe, the government has always disliked people forming gangs in the rivers and lakes, do you want to let the distinguished guests avoid it for a while......

"No need!" Before Sikong Zhu finished speaking, Lu Tingxiang was already suppressing his anger and said coldly, "No one has to avoid it today, these are the guests I invited, I see who dares to embarrass them!"

Sikong Zhu was stunned for a moment, then turned to everyone and said: "Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, today's incident disturbed you because it was my Lu Mansion who did not greet you well, and in the future, my Lu Mansion will come to the door to make amends!"

Seeing that Jiangnan Lufu was in trouble today, everyone was not too harsh, and they exchanged greetings with Sikong Zhu one after another.

"Who is in charge of your house?"

When everyone was whispering, a deep and low voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, and then I saw three or five people from the Lu Mansion with panicked faces, leading dozens of people who looked like officers and soldiers to walk in.

The leader of them was a man in his thirties, dressed in armor, carrying an official sword, and carrying a short sword at his waist. This man has big eyes, a big nose and a big mouth, a swarthy face as pitted and rough as sandpaper, a high and bulging forehead that is unusually full, and a full face with a thick and dense beard. Although the figure is not burly but unusually strong, he walks with a tiger's wind, and his feet are out of shape, but his arms do not swing, his head is slightly lowered as if he is staring at the ground all the time, even if he looks at people, he raises his eyelids and rolls his eyes, just by this appearance, he knows that this person is by no means good at stubble.

As soon as this group of officers and soldiers came in, they saw hundreds of people from the rivers and lakes gathered in the courtyard, and the strong man who commanded the troops was stunned for a moment, and then pulled out his official sword with a "poof", looked around at everyone with vigilant eyes, and asked: "How can there be so many people carrying weapons in this Lu Mansion? What are you doing here?" Seeing this, dozens of officers and soldiers who followed him also drew their swords one after another, and watched out for everyone.

"Who are you, what are you doing with so many soldiers and horses coming to my Lu Mansion?" Sikong Zhu shouted in a deep voice.

"Are you the head of this mansion?" the strong man in charge of the army stared at Sikong Zhu with ill will, "This official is Feng Tianba, the newly transferred commander of the Quanzhou battalion, you haven't answered my question just now, who are these people?"

"Humph!"

Without waiting for Sikong Zhu to answer, Lu Tingxiang suddenly let out a disdainful sneer, and said sarcastically: "Feng Tianba, such a good imperial court lieutenant actually gave the name of a ruffian in the market, it's really embarrassing!"

"What did you say?" Feng Tianba turned his fierce gaze to Lu Tingxiang and asked, "Who are you?"

"Bold!" the Lu Mansion guard scolded, "This is the head of the Lu Mansion, how can you be allowed to drink here?"

"The head of the Lu family?" Feng Tianba stared at Lu Tingxiang meaningfully, and sneered, "It turns out that you are the famous Lu Tingxiang, I thought what a great character you were, it turned out that you were just a little white face, it was really better to be famous than to meet." ”

Lu Tingxiang's eyes suddenly condensed, and a bone-chilling chill approached Feng Tianba, and said faintly: "Feng Duwei, you may not know much when you first arrive, you still have to be careful when you speak in the realm of Quanzhou, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth." ”

Feng Tianba was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "You dare to threaten this official ......"

"Even if you all come, you don't dare to talk to me like this, what kind of thing are you?"

I don't know if it's because of what happened just now that he was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, Lu Tingxiang at this moment actually changed the elegant appearance of a gentleman before, and before Feng Tianba finished speaking, he suddenly interrupted angrily, the loudness of the voice, the fierceness of the momentum, the hardness of the tone, and the cross-cutting attitude were all unprecedented, which not only startled Feng Tianba, but also surprised everyone present.

"You ......"

"Captain Feng!"

Without waiting for Feng Tianba to get angry, a cold old voice suddenly came from behind him, and then an old man in official clothes walked into the courtyard with eight people dressed as fast.

"Lord Li?" Feng Tianba was stunned when he saw the old man, and then hurriedly bowed and said, "The last general, Feng Tianba, has seen Lord Zhizhou. ”

The person who came was the local governor, Li Ji.

Li Ji didn't pay attention to Feng Tianba, but took the lead in arching his hand towards Lu Tingxiang, and only then did he ask angrily: "Captain Feng, you are not training in the army, what are you doing here?"

"Returning to my lordship, the last general received a secret report that someone had formed a gang in the Lu Mansion, killed people to collect money, and even secretly made gunpowder and plotted to rebel. Feng Tianba replied respectfully, "So I'll take someone ......."

"Have you ever informed Lord Dutong of the transfer of troops without authorization?" Before Feng Tianba could finish speaking, Li Ji couldn't help but ask.

Feng Tianba hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Lord Dutong has not returned to the Privy Council for several days, and the last general sees that the situation is urgent...... Therefore, the troops were dispatched to surround this place first, take down the prisoners, and wait for the return of the Lord Tutong before questioning the crime. ”

"It's just nonsense!" Li Ji said angrily, "Even if someone violates the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also the business of my yamen to ask people for crimes, when will it be your turn to be a lieutenant and transgress your authority?"

"But ......"

"There is nothing to do, quickly order your people to withdraw!" Li Ji waved his hand and said, "Quanzhou is a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the people live in peace, and all industries are prosperous, what kind of system do you have to make today with hundreds of soldiers and horses through the streets and alleys with great fanfare? You will not know the terrible truth of the rumors, if you let the imperial court know that because of this matter, the people of Quanzhou and even Jiangnan are panicked, and there is a civil uprising, I see how you will explain to the Privy Council!"

Feng Tianba is not a fool, from Li Ji's words, he has clearly heard the taste of "forming a party for personal gain", he first raised his eyes to look at Li Ji, and then turned his head to look at Lu Tingxiang with an indifferent face, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a woman's cry behind the crowd.

Feng Tianba frowned, and without waiting for Li Ji to stop him, he walked straight towards the back of the crowd, but saw a corpse lying in the open space behind him, and next to the corpse, there was a woman lying on the ground crying bitterly.

This corpse was none other than Mo Zen, who had just died tragically at the hands of the man in black.

"How dare anyone commit murder in broad daylight?"

Feng Tianba's eyes glared and he was about to step forward to take a look, but he was suddenly blocked by Liu Xunyi's sideways. Liu Xunyi was holding Mo Cen's baby in his arms, and for some reason his eyes were red at the moment, his face was full of coldness, and there was an indescribable coldness in his bones.

"Get out of the way!" Feng Tianba's official knife pointed directly at Liu Xunyi and said angrily.

Liu Xunyi didn't say a word about Feng Tianba's reprimand, but he didn't move, still staring at Feng Tianba expressionlessly.

"Looking for clothes, this is someone's family matter, everything is decided by Lu Gongzi, don't interfere. Deng Changchuan said in a deep voice.

After a while, Liu Xunyi slowly turned around and walked away, but when he got out of the way, the corpse and the crying woman who were lying on the ground had all disappeared, and only a large blood stain on the ground remained there.

"What about people?" Feng Tianba asked in surprise.

"What kind of person?" Li Ji stepped forward with a displeased face, and pointed at Feng Tianba, "Feng Duwei, the Lu family is a famous family in Quanzhou, and these guests today are also figures with heads and faces, you had better show some affection for everyone." After saying that, Li Ji stepped forward and whispered to Feng Tianba: "Feng Duwei used to make meritorious contributions at the border pass, and finally came to the rich land south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the blessings, so why bother asking for trouble? Do you know that Lu Gongzi only needs one sentence to let you go back and forth from where, don't you be ignorant." ”

Feng Tianba didn't seem to expect Li Ji to say these words so grandly, and he was a little speechless in surprise at the moment. Seeing this, Li Ji said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will understand it in the future." You can not give me face, but you can't give me face, right?"

"What do you mean?" Feng Tianba asked with a frown.

Li Ji smiled without saying a word, reached out and grabbed Feng Tianba's arm and walked back to Lu Tingxiang, and said with a smile: "Captain Feng, this official almost forgot to introduce you, this Lu Gongzi is the cousin of Lord Dutong of Quanzhou Daying. So Feng Duwei is a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple today, and his family doesn't know his own family, haha......"

"Cousin......" Feng Tianba first arrived, he never expected the water in Quanzhou to be so deep, and he was stunned, "That is to say, ...... here"

"This is the maiden home of Lord Dutong, this is not a secret, but Feng Duwei has only been in Quanzhou for a short time, so it is not clear. Li Ji nodded.

After that, Li Ji didn't pay attention to Feng Tianba's surprise, and turned to Lu Tingxiang and smiled: "Lu Gongzi, today is just a misunderstanding, how offended!

"Wait a minute!" Lu Tingxiang suddenly spoke, and when Feng Tianba and Li Ji looked at him suspiciously, Lu Tingxiang suddenly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's go!"

Lu Tingxiang's strange behavior made Luo Tianjin frown slightly, but he didn't say anything.

In less than a cup of tea, Feng Tianba, who was unwilling, led his soldiers and horses to leave the Lu Mansion under Li Ji's repeated urging. Everyone in the martial arts field was silent, as if they were waiting for Lu Tingxiang to make an explanation.

"A misunderstanding. Lu Tingxiang said softly rather tiredly, "Let you all laugh! Come on, go and collect the corpse of Mo Cen's predecessor first, and bury it another day." With Lu Tingxiang's words, everyone invariably turned their eyes to the corner of the martial arts field, where Mo Cen's wife was already crying and collapsed next to the corpse, and the crowd couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

"Wait!"

Without waiting for the subordinates of the Lu Mansion to come forward to collect the corpse, Liu Xunyi suddenly spoke, and under the puzzled gaze of everyone, he held the baby in his arms, and walked slowly to Mo Cen's wife with sad eyes in his eyes. Mo Cen's wife had been immersed in the pain of bereavement, and only then did she suddenly wake up and remember her child, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the baby, but Liu Xunyi stood there motionless, as if she had no intention of returning the baby to her.

"Give me back my tiger, give me back ......" Mo Cen's wife stood up tremblingly, staggered to Liu Xunyi, when she looked at Liu Xunyi anxiously, but saw that Liu Xunyi's face did not know when, had silently shed two lines of tears.

Mozen's wife seemed to anticipate something, first shook her head with tears in her eyes, and then cried like crazy and snatched her child from Liu Xunyi's arms, but when she held the baby in her hands again, the baby's body was already cold.

The baby, in fact, died as early as the moment after leaving the mother's arms.

"Ahh

Mourning is greater than heart death, in an instant, she has parted with her husband and son in life and death, how can ordinary people experience this kind of taste? The woman's cries and wails at a loss have become the only voice in the martial arts, although these people in the rivers and lakes have long been accustomed to fighting, killing, life and death, but today's scene still deeply touched them, and the lonely and helpless woman in front of them is especially pitiful.

"Even innocent children refuse to let go!" Liu Xunyi's red eyes were filled with tears of compassion, gritting his teeth, and clenching his fists, this was the first time in his life that he had such a strong killing intent, and it was also the first time he longed to put a person to death with his own hands, "How can anyone be so ruthless in this world...... How could it be ......"

"Madame, don't!"

With an exclamation, but seeing that Mo Cen's wife found half of the stubble out of nowhere, before everyone could wake up from her contemplation, she had already inserted this half of the stubble into her heart with her own hands, and collapsed on Mo Cen with her child in her arms.

"Boom!"

A crisp golden sound sounded in the martial arts, and the golden basin used to wash hands was knocked to the ground by someone without knowing how, and half a basin of clear water mixed with the blood of Mo Cen's family of three flowed quietly under everyone's feet.

At this point, everyone still clearly remembers the moment the three members of the Mozen family stepped out of Chongwutang, their faces were filled with relief from the past and infinite expectations for the future.

It's a pity that the grievances and hatreds were not timely, but the gold basin was empty.
