Chapter 90 Game (3)(1/2)
The city is still immersed in the laughter and joy.
And the south of the city is blazing flames, and the huge Yongfu house has turned into a sea of fire...
Cao Shen had a black face with his head and galloped on his horse, shouting non-stop along the way: "Officials do things, idle people do things, officials do things, idle people do things."
Those who have seen it also discovered the strange phenomenon in the south of the city.
But he didn't understand what was going on, so he looked at Cao Shen rushing out of the Lu Mansion in surprise, jumped off his horse and rushed up the steps.
Maybe he was too impatient, and his feet staggered and fell to the ground.
Xiao He, who was helping Lu Wen to welcome the guests in the door, was stunned and ran forward and helped Cao Shen up.
"Shen, why are you so panicked?"
Cao Shen lowered his voice, "There was a fire in Yong's house in the south of the city... Yongchi and others died tragically in the Xiguan. The bandits... have now... taken the city away."
"What?"
Xiao He hit a chill, and suddenly felt a chill, and rushed up along his backbone.
"Shen, this area is a hundred miles away. After being remediated by Ren Ren, the bandits have long disappeared. How is it possible? How is it possible... Where does the bandits come from?"
"I don't know!"
Cao Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Those people are very powerful. They sneaked into the city without knowing it. After killing Yongchi, they quickly evacuated. Their actions were fast and were by no means comparable to ordinary bandits. The number of people was about a hundred, and the Yongzhai Xiguan was attacked almost at the same time... When the butcher and I rushed over, the Xiguan was already in a mess and only the bodies of Yongchi and others were found."
Xiao He sighed softly.
"Shen, you should bring people to put out the fire immediately, don't let the fire spread. The rest of the matter is not allowed to be spread. Let me report to the county lord before making a decision."
After Xiao He finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the yard.
Without saying a word, Cao Shen walked down the steps, pushed away a few people who were trying to inquire, turned over and rode away with a horse, and whipped away. Although he didn't say anything, everyone realized that something must have happened. The frightened Hou was outside the door, and he didn't know whether to continue to go to the gift or leave as soon as possible. However, most people chose to stay in the end.
The protagonist of this matter is probably in this Lu house.
Staying here may be the safest, and you can also wait and see the development of the situation.
The wedding banquet has officially begun. Liu Kan and Lu Geng bowed to Lu Wen and his wife, which has completed the first step of sending the girl banquet.
Lu Jiahui was particularly beautiful today. She glanced at her eyebrows and had a pink face. She wore auspicious clothes with bright red brocade made her look more charming.
It can be said that getting married to A Kan was completely beyond Lu Hui's expectations.
It is clearer that Lu Wen’s view of Liu Kan, coupled with the incident of his elder brother Lu Ze, also made Lu Wen and his wife have prejudices towards Liu Kan.
But unexpectedly, I suddenly got married!
The joy that got what he wanted and the feeling of happiness filled Lu Ge's heart.
Although Liu Kan was mentally prepared, she was still a little dizzy after the incident, and her whole body was stiff and she was left to the command of others, like a puppet. She would not attend the girl’s banquet, but Mrs. Kan would not attend... At this moment, she was preparing for the wedding banquet for the coming day at home.
The expressions of Lv Wen and his wife are also very rich.
Especially when Liu Kan saluted them, Lu Wen was obviously trying hard to squeeze out a smile, but the more he did, the less he couldn't laugh. He was embarrassed, unhappy, and some ridicule. Little bits of praise gathered together, and the smile was really ugly.
In comparison, Mrs. Lu performed better.
He squeezed out a smile, said a few words of scenes, and then he was expressionless.
When Liu Kan and Lu Geng walked away, Mrs. Lu seemed to be unable to help it, "I really don't understand what the big girl is thinking!"
Lu Wen turned his head and looked at her, "What the big girl thinks is not what you and I can do! No matter whether Liu Kan is living or dead tomorrow, wandering on the streets or becoming a commoner, everything he has done in the past three years is something I, the old guy, can never do in his life. Whether it is Sishui Huadiao, Long Live Wine... and the Du Kang wine he just made, every piece is amazing."
"Ha, you have never praised anyone like this."
Lu Wen sighed, "It's not okay to not accept it all the time. Sometimes I really admire this kid. What a pity..."
The words are full of pessimism.
At this moment, Xiao He hurriedly walked in and came to Li Fang and whispered a few times. Li Fang's face suddenly turned pale.
He stood up suddenly and Li Fang stared at Liu Kan.
At this time, the guests were aware of the fire in the south of the city and were about to go out to see the situation, but Li Fang's actions stunned everyone.
"Liu Kan, you are so brave!"
Li Fang couldn't help it and roared angrily, "Is this done?"
Xiao He frowned next to him and wanted to wake Li Fang up, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.
Liu Kan looked confused, "Why is the county lord furious? What did I do? I have been here all the time today, and I haven't done anything."
"What didn't do? How did Yongchi die?"
Suddenly, the hall was in an uproar.
His eyes looked at Liu Kan, and even Lu Wen and his wife changed their faces in fear.
Lu Cang hid behind Liu Kan, and his little hands tightly grabbed Liu Kan's sleeve. Liu Kan still had that puzzled expression.
"Yongchi? Who is Yongchi?"
Liu Kan said: "My county lord, although Liu Kan has lived in Pei County for four years, he rarely deals with people. In addition to a few friends such as Shen Shiqi and Tang Li, the huge Pei County is my old benefactor, and Cao Zuoshi and Ren Menbo are also familiar with each other."
Ren Men Bo is Ren Ao.
Now he is the uncle of Dongmen of Pei County, and he has a dozen people under his command.
Liu Kan continued: "I was fined for a year and a half by Ren County, and then I was busy with business matters, and I rarely interact with anyone.
Who is Yongchi? Please let the county magistrate make a clear statement.”
Liu Kanfei was clearly in doubt, but Li Fang heard a hint of mockery in his seemingly sincere words.
His eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed.
"Liu Kan, don't make any arguments... Come and take Liu Kan down for me!"
When Li Fang wanted to act arrogantly, Liu Kan's face also changed, "I see who dares to take me? County Lord, it's okay to take me, but in front of the elders and fellow villagers, you always have to let me know what I have done? Don't forget that although I only enjoy the title of creation, I have the right to protect my own actions according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty. If the county lord, you can't explain it clearly, let's go to the county."
In terms of understanding Qin law, Li Fang, who was born in the Jixia Academy, is really not as good as Liu Kan.
He turned his head and looked at Xiao He, but saw Xiao He nodding slightly, meaning: There is indeed such a criminal law among Qin law.
Of course, this right to protect oneself is not something that can be enjoyed by idlers.
Only those who have won military merits can do this.
Li Fang's face was a little unrestrained, "Liu Kan, you colluded with bandits, attacked Pei County, burned Yong's house, and killed Yongchi..."
"Mr. County Lord, when did you see me colluding with bandits?"
Liu Kan's face also sank, "It is your county lord's fault for attacking Pei County. Since returning to Pei County, Liu Kan has been busy with commercial affairs and has been working in the barbecue almost all day long, developing the hot wine Du Kang and brewing tribute wine. By last night, the tribute wine was out of the cellar, and I arranged manpower and prepared vehicles overnight. This morning, Guan Ying was ordered to escort to Xiang County. How could I have time to collude with any bandits?
Besides, with my wealth, why do I collude with bandits?
Lord County Lord, now that something happened to you, you took the blame on me without saying a word, and you didn’t even go to the fire. Why?”
"this……"
Li Fang was speechless when Liu Kan said it, and was a little at a loss.
When Li Fang heard the news of Yong Chi's death, his first thought was: This was what Liu Kan did... He took the lead.
What about the evidence?
Qin's law is strict, but it also requires evidence.
After all, Li Fang was not the First Emperor, and it was difficult for him to make a judgment casually.
Liu Kan had a gloomy face, "Or, you, Lord Li, want to take me first and escort me to the county government, and make a fuss and a slander?"
"You, you..."
"Sir, although the little people are white, they are not ignorant of Qin's laws. If the county lord cannot say that the prince is ugly and Yin and Mao, and still has the innocent people, even if the people sue the official and travel three thousand miles, the little people will have a clear understanding with the county lord."
Li Fang was speechless!
He could keep Qin's law on his lips, "How to follow the law" and keep silent "How to follow the law of Qin". But he really hadn't studied the content of Qin's law carefully. At this point, Li Fang was taken first by Liu Kan from the beginning.
Seeing that Liu Kan became more and more excited, Xiao He hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Don't be angry, the county lord is also anxious for a moment..."
"Can you just be wronged if you are anxious?"
Liu Kan sneered: "It's better to do this. In front of so many fellow villagers, I can go with the county lord. If the bandits are really related to me, my family of three will be allowed to deal with it. But if it has nothing to do with me, how should I clear my innocence?"
"It's four people!"
Behind him, Lu Xiao gently pulled Liu Kan's sleeve and whispered: "A Kan, my parents have drunk the thank-you wine just now. I am from your Liu family."
A gentle word made Liu Kan feel a sense of warmth.
He held Lu Ge's little hand and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's four people, sir, please!"
The moment Mrs. Lu spoke, she wanted to jump out to stop her. However, she was pulled by Lu Wen...
There was a bitter smile on his face, "Madam, don't speak up. It seems that the county lord is going to lose in this competition."
Mrs. Lu turned her head and looked at Lu Wen, "Old man, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
To be continued...
