Wu Yu

The firm and fierce voice rang out in the room, making one's expression tremble. The outside of the room was originally filled with the voices of the doctors arguing, but now it was surprisingly quiet.

The heavy breathing was especially obvious in the silence.

Xie Lingyu turned her head slowly, and met a pair of unwilling eyes. Lu Sui's eyes were red, and he was ruthless. He knelt and took two steps forward, but Xie Lingyu helped him up.

Xie Lingyu felt helpless, these days he had to help people from time to time, and he didn't know what was going on with these people, so he just gave gifts whenever he could.

"It doesn't have to be like that, can you tell me in detail?" He calmed down and asked in a low voice.

Lu Sui's eyes were red, and he wiped away his tears with his cuffs. The rough cloth rubbed his face, and his face turned red. come out.

The more Xie Lingyu listened, the more frightened she became.

It turned out that the magistrate of Nanling was originally a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. He was bullied and ridiculed because of his poor and dilapidated family. She is a small tavern, with her ancestral wine making skills, the business is really good, everyone kindly calls her wine lady.

It wasn't a day or two for that poor scholar to be teased.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Jiu Niang was reminded of some bad memories from the past. Thinking of her original predicament, she couldn't help feeling compassionate. The prefect went to Beijing to rush for the exam, which really benefited him a lot, and it was a worthwhile trip.

That day he was riding a tall brown horse, and all the people who bullied him in the past were trembling, for fear of being retaliated, but he didn't care at all, and had no time to care about other things, and followed the familiar smell of wine.

Finally he pulled the rein, and saw the tavern he had been thinking about day and night, and the girl in the tavern smiling and wiping her sweat.

As soon as he came back, he asked Jiu Niang to marry him. Naturally, Jiu Niang would not respond, she was almost weeping with joy. At that time, Lu Zhifu was already the county magistrate, and Jiu Niang was afraid that she would be a joke, so she had to close the tavern for the sake of her husband, and lived in seclusion ever since. The backyard, even so, seems enviable enough.

The old customers of the tavern shook their heads, saying that the aroma of the wine in Nanling City was much weaker.

But the good times didn't last long.

As the prefect of Lu's government became bigger and bigger, Jiu Niang felt more and more that the man in front of her was no longer the upright and honest husband who blushed and asked to marry her.

Husband and wife are separated, and they hate each other.

The magistrate of Nanling met some dubious people, and he began to spend his days and nights, and was tainted by the corruption of officialdom. He began to stay homeless, became tired and even hated the wine lady, and married three or four young and beautiful concubines in succession. .

At that time, Lu Sui was about ten years old. He was originally the eldest son, but because the magistrate of Nanling disliked his mother's humble birth, he was abruptly changed into a bastard.

But all these years, he just complained at most, until Lu Sui broke something.

"There was a strange disease in the city, and those who got it rotted and died. After... Lu Di found out, he locked up the people in the suburbs under the pretext of preventing the infection, killed them one by one and buried them on the spot... I ..." Lu Sui raised his eyes, eyes full of despair.

"I never thought he would be like this, and I can't help it. I don't know what I can do, so I thought about taking my mother and leaving here, far away from him!"

"But after all, I didn't think well, and my mother pushed me into the water with tears in her eyes. I was good at water since I was a child, and I escaped by pretending to be caught in the rapids."

Lu Sui tightly grasped Xie Lingyu's sleeve, and said solemnly: "The plague came from the city, and its source was Lindong Lake. They buried the corpses for a while, and some corpses rolled into the lake. These corpses were taken from the upper reaches. I rushed downstream, and although I found it in time, there were always a few who happened to drink and come into contact with the water."

"Lu Di is afraid that something will happen in the east. I suspect that he has some backing. That's why he has no fear to control the people everywhere. He secretly arrests and locks up people who have been in contact with the water source, regardless of whether they are infected or not..."

But there is no way to hide this, there have been rumors among the people for a long time, but they are just afraid that their mistakes will cause trouble to the upper body.

Lu Sui paused when he said this, as if it was a bit difficult to say.

Xie Lingyu also raised his head, and said slowly, "So, Fan Town is not the most serious place, is it?"

Lu Sui lowered his head, and replied muffledly, "Well...but I don't know how many places there are..."

Xie Lingyu shook his head knowingly, knowing these things is enough, and they can find out the rest by themselves, but if Lu Sui hadn't said frankly today, it would have taken them a few days.

He turned his head and asked Sun Qian to take Lu Sui down to rest.

Sun Qian led Lu Sui, who was in a daze, down. Meng Yi's face was not very good, and he was a little dignified. He obviously felt the horror of the current situation. He looked at Xie Lingyu uneasily, "Yunlou..."

Xie Lingyu raised his hand and tapped his forehead. Seeing that the latter was wrinkled, he patted him, "Don't think too much, go follow General Sun and remind him not to return to the Liu residence for now."

Meng Yi seemed to understand, but asked worriedly: "What about you?"

A chuckle came from beside him, his warm body moved slightly closer to Xie Lingyu, two shadows overlapped on the ground, Qingqiu Jue pointed to the direction of Liu's residence outside the window, and said slowly: "Go and deal with that damned mouse."

------

In the Liu Mansion, Lin Cheng and a few subordinates sat in the front hall with ashen complexions. Magistrate Liu watched his nose, nose and heart.

In Lin Cheng's heart, Xie Lingyu was ruthlessly remembered again. This time, he didn't give him the majesty, but he was turned back by a junior. He waited in this front hall for nearly two hours. If it wasn't for superficiality, he The Liu Mansion has already been smashed!

However, from the few words that the boy revealed, Xie Lingyu could be heard to be in trouble, which made him feel a lot better.

Lin Cheng put the teacup in his hand on the table fiercely and made a "clang" sound. He sneered, and the servants all shrank their necks. At this moment, a clear voice came.

"General Lin has been waiting for a long time." Xie Lingyu came slowly, showing a flattering smile.

Lin Cheng raised his eyelids, and saw Xie Lingyu's personable manner, his clothes were meticulous, without any wrinkles, his face suddenly sank, and he sneered a little bit weirdly, leaning lazily on the chair, "Don't dare, Mr. Xie , Lin dares to make a mistake."

When he said this, his eyes and gestures were arrogant and disdainful. Xie Lingyu's smile didn't change, and he didn't answer. Instead, he turned the subject lightly and asked, "What's General Lin's plan?"

The corner of Lin Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, "Naturally, I plan to stay for a few days, why, Young Master Xie doesn't welcome you?"

I brought so many people with me, one is to wipe out the arrogance of this ignorant junior, and the other is to let him retreat in spite of difficulties, and understand that his Lin family is the most favored nowadays.

The Sun family is just a group of martial idiots who regard themselves as noble.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit strange, everyone lowered their heads to lower their sense of presence, unexpectedly Xie Lingyu grinned, looking very relieved, Lin Cheng was slightly startled, feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Xie Lingyu looked at him sincerely, "General Lin, you are still thoughtful."

General Lin: "..."

Lin Cheng was silent for a moment, not knowing what thoughtful thoughts he was thinking, he heard Xie Lingyu say again: "The general led so many people to help the people. Xie is dull, and only then did he understand the general's good intentions."

A cold light flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes, and his anger surged up. He stared straight at the smiling Xie Lingyu. He was about to interrupt the wishful thinking of the other party, but Xie Lingyu slammed the table down, making everyone tremble.

He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said slowly: "The general doesn't know something. The people saw that you brought so many people, and thought you were here to kill people. I was shocked and angry, and then I told the truth. , The common people know that they have misunderstood the general, so ask Xie to plead guilty to you on their behalf."

As soon as these words came out, the front hall fell into a dead silence.

Xie Lingyu didn't seem to notice it, and smiled like a spring breeze.

In stark contrast to him was Lin Cheng. His face was gloomy at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into a straight line. The two confronted each other silently. After a long time, Lin Cheng smiled, gritted his teeth and said, "Then thank you very much, my lord..."

His eyes were dark, and his smile seemed to be full of blood, and he walked slowly towards Xie Lingyu. Everyone was sweating for them, and his clear steps swayed in the quiet front hall, step by step.

Lin Cheng stood still in front of him, and said slowly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "We..."

"There is ample time."

Of course Lin Cheng will not let it go, since he is not from the same road, there is no need to seek peace. Lin Cheng looked at the jade-faced gentleman in front of him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. The reason he has today is not just lip service. on his head?

—It's ridiculous.

Xie Lingyu raised his eyes, his eyes were deep. He didn't respond, but turned around and told County Magistrate Liu, "Magistrate Liu, General Lin will leave it to you. I'm sorry."

County Magistrate Liu nodded quickly, and ordered his servants to clean the residence. He politely asked Lin Cheng and his subordinates to move. Pass.

Everyone left the front hall one after another, and there were only two people left in the huge courtyard.

Xie Lingyu stood in the same place for a long time, until an indifferent voice came from beside him, "Magistrate Liu's wife and daughter have been properly settled. Prefect Lu can't sleep at night. I don't know if you have any advice?"

This remark made Xie Lingyu look sideways in surprise. He subconsciously glanced around. Although he had seen the ability of "Kill" before, he couldn't help but be surprised. Leaving aside the mention of County Magistrate Liu, he only gave a rough location. Now Nanling City must be heavily guarded. In just a few days, they not only managed to break into the enemy's interior, but also rescued the wife and daughter of County Magistrate Liu, and placed them safely.

What kind of terrifying strength is this?

Xie Lingyu didn't hide the admiration in his eyes, Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyes slightly, and saw him looking up at himself, his eyes were like a clear pool reflecting the starry sky, it was breathless.

"It's not a good opinion." Xie Lingyu bumped into Qingqiu Jue's shoulder, observing his expression, "But he has no bargaining chip in his hand, and we already have witnesses, so, you want to kill first and then play?"

Qingqiu Jue raised his eyebrows, and smiled lightly, "No, this trick is called..."

"Take advantage of the fire."

As he spoke, he pushed aside Xie Lingyu who was blocking the way, and walked towards their yard. Xie Lingyu hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"

Qingqiu Jue paused, and looked over with a half-smile, Xie Lingyu felt that he must be holding back some bad ideas, as expected, he said slowly: "Pack up some things for General Sun, and let him go to Nanling City to put Lu Zhifu under house arrest. "

Xie Lingyu looked complicated: "..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Qingqiu Jue comforted him, "Don't worry, he still has me after he's gone, so I can keep you all safe."

Xie Lingyu knew that he was teasing herself. This person met him at the Huxin Pavilion, and they knew each other's abilities well, but they usually pretended to be stupid.

General Sun might not be able to take Meng Yi with him when he goes here. This kid doesn't know martial arts, but he would get in the way if he took him with him. A candidate flashed in his mind, who was born Zhou Zheng and honest - Liu Kui.

"What do you think of Liu Kui?" Xie Lingyu blurted out, only to realize that he had asked so smoothly, and scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Qingqiu Jue didn't stay silent for too long, just thought for a while, then nodded, "Liu Kui is a good candidate."

"It's a pity to be a bodyguard."

Xie Lingyu knew that for Qingqiu Jue, this was already a high praise, and he began to think in his heart that when he returned to Beijing, he would take Liu Kui away and go to the Sun's residence as an errand, maybe he could find a half-job .

But this has to ask Liu Shiwei's own wishes.
