Liu Xiu frowned even more tightly, stared at the burly man in front of him, and said word by word: "I say it again, get out of the way!"
The burly man laughed dryly and said: "General Liu, if my young master blames me, I will..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of sand, and Liu Xiu's sword had been unsheathed. Before he could react, Liu Xiu's arm had been swung forward, and there was only a crisp sound in his ear, and the sound of the Chixiao Sword was heard.
The sword surface slapped firmly on the cheek of the burly man.
The burly man groaned, and flew out sideways, grabbing the ground. Half of his cheeks were red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, half of his head almost turned into a pig's head.
This was thanks to Liu Xiu's mercy, and he only struck with the blade of the sword. If he had slashed with the blade, half of his head would have been chopped off.
Liu Xiu didn't even look at the burly man who fell to the ground. He glanced at the others and said in a deep voice: "If there are any others who block it, they will be punished according to military law and will not be killed!"
"Yes!" Deng Yu and others behind Liu Xiu agreed one after another, and then, people took out their swords and swords.
Seeing this, the faces of the men blocking the door of the residence changed with fright. People lowered their heads and backed away to both sides, not daring to stop Liu Xiu any more.
Liu Xiu tossed the lapel of her robe and strode into the house.
In the front yard of the house, a servant fell to the ground, bleeding all over the floor, and another servant was sitting on his knees next to him, his body trembling.
Liu Xiu came forward and looked down. He saw that the bleeding servant had been stabbed in the chest by a sword, and there were two bloody holes in the front and back. The body was already cold. He looked at the servant kneeling on the ground and asked, "Where are they?"
"
The servant raised his head tremblingly, looked at Liu Xiu, and then hurriedly kowtowed forward and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me..."
Liu Xiu grabbed the servant's clothes, lifted him up from the ground, and asked again: "Let me ask you, where are they?"
"In...in the backyard..."
"Take me there!" Liu Xiu let go of his hand and motioned to his servant to lead the way.
The servant walked in front nervously, occasionally glancing sideways at Liu Xiu behind him.
After a short time, the servant led Liu Xiu and others to the backyard, where many people gathered. In the courtyard, a middle-aged couple was sitting on their knees, hugging each other and crying.
Several other servants and maids were kneeling behind the middle-aged couple, all of them shivering with their necks hunched and their heads drooped.
In front of the door of a room, there were three people standing. The one in the middle was Liu Gong. In the room behind him, women's screams and cries could be heard from time to time.
Liu Gong knew Liu Xiu, and the relationship was not very close, but they were all relatives of the same clan, so of course they had met before.
In fact, Liu Gong looked down upon Liu Xiu at all. In his eyes, among the Liu family members, Liu Xiu and his second brother Liu Zhong were relatively useless people.
But Liu Xiu has an amazing elder brother. No matter how useless he is, because of his elder brother, Liu Xiu has now become the number two figure in the Zhu Tiandu Department, and Liu Gong has to give him some face.
He laughed and said, "Axiu, you're here too!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and came to Liu Xiu. He smiled meaningfully, nuzzled his lips into the room behind him, and asked with a smile: "Axiu, have you also heard about Miss Sun's beauty?
"
Liu Xiu didn't say a word to Liu Gong. He just stepped forward and kicked Liu Gong right in the stomach, causing the latter to take three big steps back and sit down on the ground.
Liu Gong was dumbfounded. He sat on the ground and stayed there for a moment. Then he fell sideways and hunched into a ball on the ground.
While covering his painful lower abdomen, he glared at Liu Xiu fiercely, gritted his teeth and yelled: "Liu Xiu, are you crazy?"
"Take it down!" Following Liu Xiu's command, Zhu You strode forward, stepped on Liu Gong's back, pulled the rope from his waist, pulled his shoulders and back, and tied Liu Gong into a knot. Solid.
When the other two big men saw this, they immediately stepped forward to stop them. Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Take them together!"
Gai Yan and Li Tong, one on the left and one on the right, met two big men and fought with them. The man who was fighting Gai Yan didn't even walk past for a round, and was slapped in the face by Gai Yan. He was instantly knocked down. He was stunned and fell to the ground.
Li Tong was not as good as Gai Yan, so he fought with the opponent for several rounds before subduing him to the ground.
Liu Xiu walked through the crowd and came to the door. With a bang, he kicked the door open. The sudden loud noise caused the men and women in the room to scream at the same time.
A naked young man jumped down from the bed, picked up his sword, drew it out of its sheath, and asked sharply: "Who is that person?"
Liu Xiu came in and looked at the naked young man holding the sword, and then looked behind him. There was a woman sitting on the bed. She couldn't tell exactly what she looked like. Her hair was disheveled, and her whole body was huddled in the quilt, crying. With.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and walked towards the naked young man step by step.
The latter took a closer look and couldn't help laughing. He put down the raised sword, tilted his head, and said slowly: "Who did I ask? It turned out to be Axiu! I said Axiu, this Let’s do things on a first-come, first-served basis. Shouldn’t it be your turn to wait until I’m done?!”
Seeing Liu Jin standing there naked and still speaking eloquently, Liu Xiu was so angry that his teeth itched. He suppressed his anger and asked in a calm tone: "Liu Jin, do you know your guilt when you break into a private house and seize the daughter of a civilian?"
This naked young man was Liu Jin. Hearing Liu Xiu's words, he was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He threw the sword aside, walked up to Liu Xiu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: " Okay, okay, Axiu, don’t use this to pressure me, I’ll let you go to the head office first!” As he spoke, he grinned at Liu Xiu again and walked past him.
Liu Xiu clenched his fists, turned his head and shouted: "Zhonghua, Ziling, take him down!"
Following Liu Xiu's shouting, Deng Yu and Yan Guang rushed to Liu Jin's side, each restrained one of his arms, and forced Liu Jin to kneel on the ground.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was really serious about him, Liu Jin was furious and turned around and shouted: "Liu Xiu, if you had an affair with Miss Sun, you'd have told me earlier. Do you want to avenge yourself now?"
Liu Xiu ignored him, turned around and walked out. Liu Jin became anxious and yelled: "Liu Xiu, let me go. If you hear me, let me go immediately, otherwise we will never finish this!"
Liu Xiu, who had already reached the door of the room, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Liu Jin, and said coldly: "Of course this matter is not over yet! Breaking into a private house and seizing a civilian girl will be executed according to Han law!"
Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, and the military attache twisted his mind and shouted sternly: "How dare you?"
Two frightening gleams shot out of Liu Xiu's eyes, she looked directly at Liu Jin, and said faintly: "You can see if I dare or not!" After saying this, he ignored Liu Jin and walked out of the room. .
When he arrived in the yard, he came to the middle-aged couple, raised his hands and said: "Mr. Sun, Mrs. Sun, Liu Gong, and Liu Jin behaved recklessly and showed no discipline. I apologize to you two on their behalf." As he spoke,
, he bowed to the ground.
The middle-aged couple stared blankly at Liu Xiu, unable to regain their composure for a long time.
The two of them didn't speak, and Liu Xiu kept bowing and saluting. I don't know how long it took, but the middle-aged couple helped each other to stand up, dodged sideways, and said in a trembling voice: "The big one... the big one will break the little ones."
There are people..."
Liu Xiu straightened his body and said solemnly: "Don't worry, you two, Zhu Tiandu will definitely give the Sun family an explanation for Liu Gong and Liu Jin's viciousness!"
As he spoke, he turned back to look at Liu Gong, who was kneeling on the ground. Liu Jin and Liu Jin frowned and remained silent.
Liu Gong and Liu Jin were not only relatives of the Liu family, but also came from a wealthy family. The two families joined them, including their servants, retainers, and guardians, bringing a total of several hundred people.
If they were killed, the two families might turn against each other, but if they were not killed, military discipline would not be strict, and similar incidents would continue to occur in the future.
Just when Liu Xiu's mind was changing and he was weighing the pros and cons, another group of people walked into the courtyard.
The leader was none other than Liu Xiu's eldest brother Liu Yan, followed by many Liu family members and servants. Everyone was shocked when they saw the situation in the courtyard.
I saw Liu Gong and Liu Jin being pushed to their knees on the ground and tied into rice dumplings. Especially Liu Jin, who was completely naked. This scene made Liu Jin's father, Liu Yong, blush with embarrassment.
Liu Yong took a deep breath and asked loudly: "Jin'er, what's going on?"
"Father, save me! Liu Xiu Gong is taking revenge. He wants to kill the child!" Seeing his father coming, Liu Jin felt confident, but in appearance, he burst into tears with runny nose and tears.
It seemed as if he had been greatly wronged.
Liu Yong's face suddenly darkened. He turned to look at Liu Yan and asked, "Bo Sheng, what's going on? Why did Uncle Wen want to kill Quan Zi?"
Before Liu Yan could reply, another person walked out of the crowd behind him. This man was tall and muscular. He was none other than Liu Gong's brother, Liu Ji.
Among the Liu clan in Nanyang, the only one who could compete with Liu Yan in terms of military force was Liu Ji.
It is said that when Liu Ji was fifteen years old, he killed a tiger with his bare hands. Now that he was in his prime, he had the courage to be invincible to thousands of people.
Liu Ji was not convinced by heaven or earth, but he only admired Liu Yan. Liu Yan founded the Zhu Tiandu tribe and launched an uprising in Chongling. Liu Ji was one of the most active responders.
At this time, Liu Ji walked out of the crowd and shouted in a loud voice: "Who dares to hurt my brother?"
In terms of seniority, Liu Yong was Liu Yan's clan uncle, and in terms of force, Liu Ji was Liu Yan's number one general. The two of them came forward to question Liu Yan, which put Liu Yan in a bit of trouble.
He first waved his hands to Liu Yong and Liu Ji, signaling them to calm down. Then he said to Liu Xiu, "Axiu, if you have anything to say, please let Liu Gong and Liu Jin go first."
"No!" Liu Xiu said decisively: "Liu Gong and Liu Jin not only broke into private houses, but also forcibly insulted the young lady of the Sun family. According to Han law, they should be beheaded as a warning to others."
Li Yong was about to retort, but Liu Gong became anxious after hearing this, and defended loudly: "It's true that I broke into the house privately, but the rape of Miss Sun's family has nothing to do with me. I was outside at the time, and Liu Jin was at Sun's house.
I have no idea what the lady did in her boudoir!"
Liu Gong was quite clever, but when he saw that the matter had become serious, and even Liu Yan came, he quickly removed himself first, and broke into the house privately. No matter which court's law, he could not commit a crime that would lead to death, and he himself could not Necessary to be tied up with Liu Jin and help Liu Jin share the responsibilities.
