Chen Leng carried Yishui County Magistrate Gao Ling on the horse, pressed him forward, and rode his horse outside the county government. The people on duty outside the county government gate even scolded him when they saw someone riding a horse. After seeing clearly that the county magistrate was being carried down like a little chicken, they were all stunned.

Chen Leng held the man in one hand and fought with the other. He beat him from the front of the county government to the back in one breath. He took the time to slap Gaoling several times and asked him how to get out of the county government's cell. Gaoling was extremely angry and afraid of being beaten, but there was nothing he could do.

He ran from the gate to the prison cell in one breath, and the people lying all over the floor inside and outside the county government moaned.

Chen Leng carried Gaoling into the gate of the cell: "Where is our Duke living?"

Shen Leng asked.

Gao Ling trembled subconsciously, and her red face, which had been blown by the cold fan, turned white.

"What are you talking nonsense!"

Gaoling shouted hoarsely: "You beat the imperial officials, trespassed the county government, and beat so many officials, you can't escape this."

Chen Leng glanced at him: "Do you think I need to escape?"

He just carried Gaoling forward: "If you said it yourself, I can still count you as confessing. If you don't say it yourself, I will find out, you will not even show any guilt reduction."

"Who are you!"

"You'll know."

Chen Leng kicked the prison door open with one kick. The chains on the prison door seemed to have no meaning under his kick. The people who were locked in the prison were startled. One of them became excited and ran to the door: "Hero, are you here to save me?"

Chen Leng kicked the man back with one kick, and the man fell to the ground and couldn't get up in pain.

"Whoever goes out will die."

Chen Leng said something and continued walking forward. He passed by a cell and kicked one out. Everyone inside thought that Chen Leng was here to rob the prison, but one came out and dried up by Chen Leng. There were so many people who fell down in this narrow corridor.

"You don't have to ask him, Duke An Guo?"

There was a sound from the inner cell, and I was very calm. This cell was a place where the criminals were kept. The cells outside were covered with wooden walls and wooden doors. This cell was closed and the iron door was locked.

"Open."

Chen Leng glanced at Gao Ling, who was pale, and Gao Ling quickly said, "I don't have a key, the key is in the hands of the prison head."

Chen Leng threw Gao Ling aside, then kicked the iron door and blew it. The iron door flew directly inside. A lot of walls on both sides of the door were taken down. The bricks and stones fell to the ground, and the iron door flew into the cell and hit the opposite wall.

The smoke and dust in the room stormed up. Chen Leng raised his hand and waved it to both sides with his sleeves. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Chen Leng stepped in. Yu Manlou's father sat on the chair beside the window, looking at Chen Leng with a calm look on his face.

"It's indeed Duke Anguo."

Yu Manlou's father pointed to the chair opposite him: "Duke An Guo, please sit down first. I have a few words to talk to Duke An Guo. I will ask if the dog came with Duke An Guo?"

Chen Leng nodded: "He probably won't come in, thinking that he probably doesn't know how to face you."

"There is nothing that cannot be faced between father and son."

Yu Manlou's father smiled: "I know if anyone finds me one day, it's probably a dog. My teachings to him over the years are still useful."

Chen Leng frowned, and he sat down opposite Duke Yu: "Did you guess Yu Manlou will bring people to catch you?"

"I guessed it."

Yu Xiu nodded: "How could my own son not guess?

It's like he can guess that I'm hiding here, I'm hiding here, because he can guess that I'm hiding here."

Chen Leng was a little confused, but in a flash he realized: "You are deliberately waiting here to be caught by the person brought by your son, so that your son can perform meritorious service."

Yu Xiu nodded: "Yes."

Chen Leng: "Since that's the case, why don't you go to Tingwei Mansion by yourself?"

"I can't go."

Yu Xiu said: "If I don't go, my son brings people to me. It is a good thing for him. At least he can save his life. If I go, many people will die in the Yu family. Your Majesty is kind, but some people will not be so kind. Besides, the Yu family has such a large industry, I also need time to explain what their family should do."

He glanced out: "Manlou doesn't want to see me anymore?"

Chen Leng shook his head: "It should have been here, but it took me some time to get in from outside the county government and come here, but he didn't come in, so"

"Can understand."

Yu Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "I have something to ask Duke Anguo."

"you say."

"I know my sins are unforgivable, but I don't think I'm wrong. Daning's world was fought by our ancestors with Emperor Taizu, but now Daning's world has nothing to do with us, which is unfair."

"I confessed my guilt and not mistakes, but I know myself. How could a person like me survive Han Huanzhi's torture? So he wanted to know from my mouth that most of what I could know. I can't be someone I look down on, so Gaoling came to ask me before and asked what my son should do when he arrived in Yishui County, so I prepared poison for myself."

There was a jade bottle on the table in front of him, and his eyes left from the jade bottle: "Please do me a favor. I will arrest the people of my Yu family and do whatever they should be. But under the Yu family, the business, the land business, the escort agency, these people must live and make a living. If the Yu family collapses, all these businesses will also collapse, and thousands of people will suffer. I have arranged the business of the escort agency to give to the people below, and they will support themselves."

"I divided the Luyun business into two parts. I brought all the big shopkeepers and told them that Luyun business will belong to them in the future, but only half of the income will belong to them and the other half will belong to my son Yu Manlou."

Yu Xiu took a breath and continued, "As for the Yu family's property, all the money will be confiscated to the court and leave the business for them. The Yu family's deposit is as huge as 200,000 taels."

He pushed forward the account book on the table: "The accounts are here, I have checked every item, there will be no mistakes. The people of the Yu family want to fight for power, but they don't fight against Daning, nor against the royal family. This money is the last part of the Yu family's efforts for Daning."

Chen Leng stood up: "You talk to Yu Manlou yourself."

He strode out. Soon, Yu Manlou was grabbed by Chen Leng with his clothes, pushed into the cell, and then Chen Leng turned around and went out.

He walked to the gate of the prison and stood for a while, feeling a little stuffy between his chest and abdomen.

The Yu family wanted to fight for power but did not oppose Daning or the royal family.

This sentence turned back and forth in Shen Leng's mind, and emerged over and over again, so clearly.

In the cell.

Yu Xiu looked at Yu Manlou, his eyes full of apology: "Actually, I just lied to Duke An Guo, and I haven't taken the poison yet."

Yu Manlou looked at the jade bottle and grabbed it.

"Just eaten."

Yu Xiu said, "I ate when he went out."

Yu Manlou's eyes instantly turned bloody.

"You don't need it

Talk, listen to me.”

Yu Xiu looked at Yu Manlou with all his eyes and said, "I know you resent me and think I have been too strict with you, so you have been rebellious since you were a child, but have you ever thought about it? If I am really harsh, how could you be rebellious?"

"Lou'er, I treat you with strict harshness and will not let you ask what your father is doing because I want to protect you and let you practice swords. I want you to protect yourself if you have something to do. I didn't allow you to participate in the co-existence meeting before. I thought that if something happened to the Yu family, Your Majesty would be thinking about the old love and you would really not know about it. Later, I asked you to participate. At that time, when your father thought that great things could be accomplished, you would gain a foothold in the court when you participate.

"What you want to do for your father is wrong for Daning, but for the Yu family, if the Yu family does not fight, in a few decades, it will become like a sentient being who were founding kings at that time. That is the glory and glory. We who are descendants have been carrying this glory for hundreds of years but have done nothing."

"The Yu family also wants to do something for Daning. Is the royal family Bo Liang? No, if I say a ruthless thing, if I do this, gradually weaken the power of the meritorious family and exclude it from the court. This is not Bo Liang."

After Yu Xiu finished saying this, he coughed, and some blood was leaking from the corners of his mouth. He raised his hand and wiped it: "Don't be sad. Being a father is a cunning man. I have planned that if I don't die, Your Majesty will ask Han Huanzhi to investigate strictly. More people in the Yu family will be implicated. If I die, Your Majesty will let the Yu family go once."

He let out a long sigh: "Lou'er, I only know today that it is actually a joke for each family to fight for power. Only by reaching a dead end will you understand this."

He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Yu Manlou: "From today on, you are the head of the Yu family. You beg Duke An to take you to Dongjiang and start with a soldier. You will fight back the former glory for the Yu family, and you will deserve the reputation of your ancestors."

puff!

Yu Xiu spewed out a mouthful of blood, and the table was covered with blood.

"Lou'er"

Yu Xiu reached out and touched Yu Manlou's face: "Don't hold a grudge against your father for too long. If you hate him for a while, don't hate him. If you have hatred in your heart for too long, you will become another person."

He coughed again, and Yu Manlou wanted to carry him out, but Yu Xiu refused.

"I can't save this medicine. I have been preparing for myself for a long time. I originally thought that I shouldn't have the courage to take it. After taking it, I realized that life and death are just like this."

Yu Xiu raised his hand tremblingly: "Pour glass of water for me."

Yu Manlou immediately got up to pour water. When he came back with a teacup, Yu Xiu was already lying on the table. Yu Manlou's eyes were blood-red and he knelt down with a plop.

"I still have a breath."

Yu Xiu sat up on the table: "Six and a half years old."

Yu Manlou didn't understand.

"It was the first time you served me tea at the age of six and a half. I remember it clearly for my father. I was afraid that you would burn your hands. Your mother asked you to send herbal tea. Your careful look is still very clear after recalling the years in my father's heart."

Yu Xiu's eyes gradually became blurred, and he held the glass of water in both hands and took a sip.

"Five years old."

With a snap, the water cup fell on the table.

Yu Xiu lay there, his mouth full of blood.

"I beat you for the first time at the age of five because you always don't like to eat. No matter how your mother says you don't listen, and you even lose your temper and throw your dishes."

"Lou'er"

Yu Xiu turned his head over and looked at Yu Manlou with difficulty: "Eat a good meal."

Close your eyes.
