Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 378 Liu Ying stabbed the hornet's nest

On the other hand, it is said that after Liu Ying received the decree, he took a boat for a starry night and traveled downstream to Liujiagang in Taicang.Then he galloped to Suzhou on horseback.

From leaving Nanjing City to entering Suzhou City, it only took two days and two nights.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Amidst the rapid sound of horseshoes, the Suzhou people on Yaqian Street hurriedly dodged to the side of the road.

Then I saw a group of knights wearing cloud gauze crowns, blue and green brocade suits, and long cowhide boots, who seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds, running straight towards the Suzhou government office.

The gate in front of the government office was closed tightly, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate didn't know what to do, so they heard the leading knight shout loudly:

"The captain of the pro-military captain's mansion is on business! Quickly open the middle gate and order the prefect of Suzhou to come out!"

"Yes, yes." The gatekeepers hurriedly opened the gate and opened the middle gate wide.At the same time, Menzi ran in to inform the prefect Li Heng.

Like Liu Lian, the prefect of Suzhou, who had the same name as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was promoted by surprise after the empty seal case.His original position was the commander of the Mill Kan Division.

However, this commander did not lead troops, but "everyone who hides wrongful punishment, money and grain, should judge his merits and demerits to be heard by the emperor." Because Li Heng was not afraid of power during the Mokan Division, he repeatedly exposed wronged prisons and corruption. , won the trust of Boss Zhu.

So Liu Ying came to him first.

"Oh, it's really uncle." Li Hengying came out and saw that it was indeed Liu Ying, so he hurriedly bowed to each other. "The next official is disrespectful, disrespectful and disrespectful. Please come inside quickly."

In the first month of this year, Boss Zhu recognized Liu Ying for his meritorious service as a guard for many years, and named him Zhong Jin Bo, and gave him an iron certificate for Dan Shu.Therefore, Li Heng has this title.

"Prefect Li doesn't need to be too polite." Liu Ying still had the glacier face that has not changed for thousands of years, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's envoy is important, you take me to Lu Zhonghe's house first."

"Don't be in such a hurry, right? Let's rest first, eat, and then take the brothers over after you get off the official post. It won't delay the matter." Li Heng persuaded.

Liu Ying glanced suspiciously at Li Heng and said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I'm talking too much." Although Li Heng is the dignified magistrate of Suzhou, Liu Ying still couldn't see enough in front of Liu Ying, so he quickly ordered someone to prepare a car, and obediently led a group of people to Lu Yuan on Guanqian Street.

~~
At the gate of Lu Garden, there are piles of wreaths, scrolls, paper figures and horses.

Almost all the respectable people in the south of the Yangtze River gave gifts.It can't be opened at the door, and it occupies a large section of Guanqian Street.

The horseshoe stepped on the paper money all over the floor, and walked to the gate of Lu Garden.Seeing that the funeral was indeed being held here, Liu Ying's expression turned pale.

Li Heng got out of the car quickly and ordered someone to call out the head of the family.

After a while, Lu Wenbin, the eldest son of the Lu family, who was dressed in hemp and filial piety, and Lu Zhonghe's third brother, Lu Shuhe, came out to welcome him.

Li Heng briefly explained the purpose of his visit to the two of them, and then said in a deep voice, "Don't you kneel down to welcome the imperial envoy?"

"Grassmen... welcome the imperial envoy." The two of them kneeled down to Liu Ying reluctantly, as if they didn't understand etiquette.

Those family members and guests who came out after hearing the news all stared at Liu Ying and his party with unfriendly eyes, without concealing the hostility in their eyes.

Naturally Liu Ying was not afraid of them, snorted, got off her horse, and strode into Lu Garden.

The people with knives followed closely behind him, guarding the left and right.

Family members and guests followed suit.

Lu Wenbin and Lu Shuhe didn't wait for the imperial envoy to call, they got up on their own, and quickly chased after them.

~~
From the outside, Lu Yuan can't see any famous buildings, it's just that the walls are higher and the yard is bigger.

But come in and take a look, good guy, there are mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, hidden in the middle, just like the paintings of famous masters, there is no part that is not perfect, and there is no part that is not perfect.

It looks much more luxurious than Boss Zhu's palace.

However, Liu Ying had no time to look carefully, and followed the sound of blowing and beating, and went straight to the mourning hall.

The sound of blowing and beating is more than 30 monks from Hanshan Temple, who are doing water and land dojo for Mr. Lu.Cymbals, bells and drums rang together, and the "Sutra of Rebirth" was chanted over and over again.

I don't know if it was because of his arrival, the family members in the mourning hall cried extraordinarily hard, and only Suona could barely suppress it.

Liu Ying saw that in the huge mourning hall, the white curtain was drooping, and a big black word "Dian" was hung on the curtain.

There are several rows of altars placed horizontally under the word "Dian", on which there are three animals, melons and fruits, as well as incense burner candlesticks and the like.

Liu Ying twirled a stick of incense, lit it on the candlestick, made three obeisances and inserted it into the incense burner, and said flatly, "I've offended you."

After finishing speaking, he stepped over the altar, opened the curtain, and revealed a huge coffin made of golden nanmu.

"What are you doing?!" The family members of the Lu family screamed.

"Stop!" The guests also discouraged: "The dead are the greatest, so don't be disrespectful!"

Liu Ying glanced back coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Stop them!"

"Yes!" The people with the saber quickly lined up to stand behind the captain.

"We are people from the Duwei's Mansion who are close to the army, and we are the emperor's envoy!" Qianhu, the leader, scolded sharply: "If you want to rebel, just step forward!"

"It doesn't matter if you shoot or kill!" The men with knives pulled out their sabers in unison, the cold light was shining, making people daunting.

Liu Ying walked to the coffin on his own, and slowly pushed away the coffin boards that were covered with no nails, and an elderly man's corpse in a shroud appeared in front of his eyes.

He beckoned for Li Heng to come over. "Is it him?"

Li Heng identified it carefully, nodded and said: "That's right, I have seen him several times. If you want to gain a foothold in Suzhou, you have to pay homage to the pier of Pingjiang Gong. Unexpectedly, if you say no, you will be gone."

Then under Li Heng's shocked gaze, Liu Ying actually reached into the coffin to talk about Lu Zhonghe's breath.

This serious offense naturally aroused the anger of the Lu family and even all the guests, who cursed loudly.The children and grandchildren of the Lu family also tried to break through the cordon of people with knives...

The people with the knives were not polite to them. They cut down two with one knife, and the Lu family immediately became honest.

After a long time, Liu Yingcai withdrew her hand and sighed, "It's really dead."

"Yes." Li Heng nodded, thinking how fresh it was.Immortal, who is lying in the coffin?
"But the strange thing is that he just died a few days ago." Liu Ying said lightly, and then asked in a cold voice: "Hasn't a person been dead for a long time? How come he is still lifelike?"

"My father committed suicide before, but we rescued him at the last moment, and we invited famous doctors again and again to bring him back from the gate of hell. But it just made Xian Kao suffer for half a month, and he passed away the day before yesterday." Lu Wenbin Iron Green face said:

"Does this imperial envoy think that the Han family would joke about this kind of thing?"

"Are you questioning this official?" Liu Ying put her hand on the waist knife and said with an unkind expression.

"Don't dare." Lu Wenbin swallowed his anger.

"Record a statement for them, and everyone must sign it." Liu Ying ordered.

The men with the knives began to do the same.

Then Li Heng shook his head secretly. Based on his experience, if Liu Ying did something like this, something would happen.

Those big families in Suzhou are going to make a fuss for no reason, let alone stop reasoning now...
