"Separate family, son-in-law..." Li Ru frowned: "A bandit?"
"Hmm!" Cheng Dalei coughed slightly.
"Watch your words!" Xu Shenji immediately said: "The head of my family... My master is now General Zuo of the Rangers. What kind of bandit is that?"
Cheng Dalei nodded slightly and placed his general seal on the table.
"Did you see it? Open your eyes and see clearly. This is the title given by the King of Youzhou. He has personally appointed Youzhou Ranger Zuo General to lead the Qingniu Mountain camp." Xu Shenji picked up the general's seal and almost hit Li
Like on the face.
Li Ru was frightened by the formation put up by Cheng Dalei just now, and only then did he notice the clothes on Cheng Dalei's body. This black cloud insignia, golden crown and treads...are the attire of a general.
Li Ru was confused and couldn't figure out how a bandit who everyone shouted to beat suddenly turned into a general.
No wonder he dared to show off and break in today. His original identity was different. In the past, Su Ying was talked about because Cheng Dalei was a bandit. And when it comes to honoring one's ancestors, nothing can be more honorable than a general. A daughter of a merchant, marrying
The general who leads the army is said to be a high-ranking member of the Su family. Now, Su Ying has gone from being an object of contempt to being an envied role model.
Li Ru quickly calmed down: "It's not impossible to separate the family, but we need to invite the elders in the family to come over and be witnesses."
"Don't worry, I have already considered this matter. I am a reliable person."
Cheng Dalei clapped his hands lightly, and Li Ru was surprised to see a group of people filing in from outside the door. They were all prestigious and distinguished elders of the Su family, and they wanted to be the majority of the entire Su family.
Normally, if Li Ru wanted to see them, they might not give him face. Today, they were all gathered together. The same thing was that they were all being held captive, with bruises on their faces, as if they had been beaten.
More than a dozen people stood in the middle of the hall, not daring to raise their heads and look directly at Cheng Dalei. Some people are still trembling with fear.
"Sit down, what are you doing standing up?"
Cheng Dalei said something, and these people shivered before they dared to sit down on both sides of the hall. But they didn't know how Cheng Dalei's men tortured them.
Li Ru calmed down and said: "I invited uncles here today to discuss the matter of dividing the family. Logically speaking, Su Ying has been kicked out of the Su family and has no right to claim a penny from this family. However, what I do is
My mother, I can't bear to see her suffer. I have a written note here. Two days ago, Su Ying took 3,000 taels of silver from me and was willing to give up all the family property. It is written in black and white here. You can know it at a glance. "
"Nonsense! You didn't give me any money at all."
"Oh, you will make a receipt if I don't give you money. You are treating yourself as a fool, and you think everyone here is a fool."
Cheng Dalei patted the back of Su Ying's hand gently, signaling her to calm down. Su Ying felt extremely aggrieved, but at this moment, her feelings suddenly disappeared, and she grabbed Cheng Dalei's palm instead.
The paper and the receipt of three thousand taels were passed among the elders of the Su family. The writing was clearly written in black and white, and the handwriting was indeed Su Ying's.
A trace of pride flashed in Li Ru's eyes. Aren't you here to reason with me today? Then I will reason with you, and in this regard, you are no match at all.
The notes were passed from person to person, and finally reached Cheng Dalei's hands. Li Ru was originally worried that Cheng Dalei would act rogue and destroy it, but he didn't expect that Cheng Dalei didn't even look at it, and just put it on the table.
"Master Cheng Village..."
"Please call me General Cheng. If you continue to treat me as a bandit, I will consider it as an insult to the empire." Cheng Dalei spoke righteously.
"..." Li Ru: "General Cheng...don't you want to see this document?"
"You don't have to read it, this document doesn't count." Cheng Dalei said calmly.
"If you don't count, why..."
"I said if I don't count, I won't count. There's no reason why."
"You..." Li Ru paused slightly, and suddenly sneered: "General Cheng said that he would not count, because he was afraid that City Lord Fang would not agree. I have seen this letter from City Lord Fang, so I will invite City Lord Fang to come and let him be a witness."
.”
It is not a secret in Luoye City that City Lord Fang is greedy for money. In order to win over this City Lord, Li Rusa spent countless amounts of money, which came in handy today.
"I advise you not to bother. The authorities can handle it. Why do you have to humiliate yourself? Even if you go to invite him, he won't come."
Li Ruyi was startled and hesitated slightly, but still had the last illusion. He still sent someone with heavy gifts to invite Fang Boshan.
Time passed by, Cheng Dalei was drinking tea boredly, but Li Ru was getting more and more nervous.
Finally, the person who was sent out came back, but he came back alone. Li Ru called him aside and whispered: "What's going on?"
"I didn't even see the Lord City Lord in person. He only had someone say one sentence..."
"What words?"
"There is no reason why a woman should not inherit the family property after her father dies."
Li Ru's heart was filled with despair.
"Have you given up?" Cheng Dalei coughed lightly: "Where's the tea? Why have I been sitting here for so long without even a cup of tea? There are no rules in this house."
This sentence seemed to indicate that he was the master of the Su family. Looking at Cheng Dalei's provocative eyes, Li Ru suddenly understood something.
There is no truth in this world, not even in black and white. No pair of ears has ever been convinced by truth. The Rong people have repeatedly invaded the border. If you reason with them, will they stop invading? Li Ru wants to drive Su Ying to death.
If you reason with her, will she show mercy?
It won’t work.
No matter how many tricks you use, there is only one truth in this world that is eternal. Whoever has a big fist will be right.
Foxes are said to be smart in the mountains and forests, but the one with the most tattoos on their forehead is the tiger.
Li Ru took a deep breath and thought about the situation at hand. The person who fell into the water may not know that the last straw cannot save her, but the last straw is the only one she can grasp.
"General Cheng, can I talk to you alone?"
"What's the matter?" Cheng Dalei frowned slightly.
"Take a step to speak. There are some things I just want to say to General Cheng."
Cheng Dalei thought for a moment, then stood up and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Ru led Cheng Dalei out of the hall, walked through the corridor, and walked into an empty room.
Seeing Li Ru closing the door, Cheng Dalei asked doubtfully: "What do you want to say to me?"
Li Ru knelt down with a pop and stared at Cheng Dalei closely.
Cheng Dalei was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
"What are you going to do!"
Li Ru sighed: "The slave family is just a happy bird in the hands of General Cheng at the moment. General Cheng can squeeze the slave family to death with his fingers. The Cheng family can sprinkle a few grains of rice and a few drops of water to keep the slave family alive. What ability does the slave have? How dare you fight with Cheng?"
When generals fight, they are just overestimating their own capabilities. Now I just want to ask General Cheng to sprinkle a few grains of rice water and save my life. Whenever General Cheng wants me to die, it will only happen in a matter of seconds."
