Chapter 224 door to door intercession

Liu Xiu said: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this matter. I can only say that I can save Liu Jin's life." As for whether he will become disabled, it depends on his own life.

This is beyond his control.

Liu Yong was sent away and told to go home and wait for news. When it was almost evening, Jiu'er came back. Liu Xiu and Jiu'er went to the county government office together and brought out Liu Jin, who was imprisoned in the county government office.

Seeing that it was Liu Xiu who came to mention him, Liu Jin was startled, turned pale, and stammered: "Am...am I going to be executed?"

Liu Xiu glanced at him and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Liu Jin swallowed and said nothing. Liu Xiu said, "I'll take you to Zhong's house."

"Ah?" Liu Jin looked at Liu Xiu dumbfounded. Sending himself to the Zhong family? Isn't that the same as pushing himself to death? He said anxiously: "The Zhong family will definitely kill me!"

"If someone from the Zhong family really kills you, it will be a cycle of cause and effect. Killing to pay for life, debt to pay for money, it is only natural!" Liu Xiu said in a calm tone, saying it had nothing to do with himself.

Liu Jin shivered and said urgently: "I...I want to see my father! I want my father now!"

Liu Xiu smiled at him and said, "Uncle Clan has left all your affairs to me."

When Liu Jin heard this, he felt like a deflated rubber ball, and his body went limp. After leaving the county office, Liu Xiu had someone push him into the carriage, and then he and Jiu'er got in the carriage and went straight to Zhong Mansion.

In the car, Jiuer pulled over a cloth bag and said, "Everything the Lord wants is here!"

Liu Xiu opened the cloth bag and took out a roll of bamboo slips from it. He opened it and looked at it. After reading it, he nodded with satisfaction, put the bamboo slips back into the cloth bag, and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, you did a good job."

Jiuer lifted the cloth bag with his toes and said: "This is just part of it, there are many more in the county government!"

Liu Xiu hummed and stopped talking.

To make a long story short, when they arrived at the Zhong Mansion, Liu Xiu got out of the car and said to the servant at the door of the Zhong Mansion: "My Excellency, Liu Xiu, made a special trip to pay a visit to Duke Zhong. Could you please inform me at the mansion?"

Hearing that the visitor was Liu Xiu, the servants did not dare to delay and hurried into the house to report.

When Zhong Jian, the master of the Zhong Mansion, learned of Liu Xiu's visit, he did not dare to neglect him and took his second son Zhong Ji and his third son Zhong Gui out of the house to greet him.

When they saw Liu Xiu, Zhong Jian, Zhong Ji, and Zhong Gui all bowed their hands and saluted, and said, "I didn't know that General Liu is here, but I missed you from afar. Please forgive me, General!"

Liu Xiu returned the courtesy and said: "Mr. Zhong is so polite. I haven't seen you for a long time. Is Mr. Zhong okay?"

"Thank you for your thoughts, General Liu! General Liu, please come inside!"

"please!"

Liu Xiu had met Zhong Jian before in Deng's Mansion. There was no deep friendship, but at least they were acquaintances. Zhong Jian, Zhong Ji, and Zhong Gui and his son let Liu Xiu into the lobby of Zhong Mansion.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Since we last said goodbye at Deng's Mansion, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year, right?"

Zhong Jian sighed: "I haven't seen you for half a year. When I first met General Liu, I already knew that General Liu would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. Today, General Liu has really soared into the sky! What a joy and congratulations!"

During the exchange of pleasantries, a servant brought tea.

Liu Xiu took the tea cup, took a sip of tea, then put it down and said seriously: "As for Mr. Ling, I already know that people cannot be resurrected after death. I hope that Mr. Zhong will show his condolences and obey."

Zhong Jian understood the purpose of Liu Xiu's visit as soon as he heard it. His face sank slightly and said: "If General Liu comes to Zhong to reminisce about the past, Zhong welcomes him extremely. If General Liu comes to lobby for Liu Jin's matter, then No need to talk about anything, just one word from Zhong, Liu Jin must pay for Quan Zi with his life!"

Zhong Ji and Zhong Gui, who were sitting opposite Liu Xiu, both held the swords under their ribs and looked at Liu Xiu with fierce eyes.

Zhong Jian glanced at them and said displeasedly: "Ji'er, Gui'er, what are you two doing? Don't be rude to the general!"

As early as when he met Liu Xiu at Deng Chen's home, Zhong Jian had a very good impression of him. As for this matter, Liu Jin is Liu Jin and Liu Xiu is Liu Xiu. He will not mix them up.

Liu Xiu also had a good impression of Zhong Jian and felt that he was a sensible person.

He said: "Liu Jin made a big mistake by accidentally killing Mr. Ling, but even if he kills Liu Jin now, Mr. Ling will never be resurrected!"

Zhong Jian said angrily: "At least I can avenge the innocent dog who died unjustly, and at least I can get rid of the bad breath of my Zhong family!"

"As the saying goes, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Think about it, Mr. Zhong, even if you take revenge and vent your anger now, if the relationship is broken, will the Zhong family still have good things to eat in the future?" Liu Xiu said meaningfully.

Zhong Jian's face hardened, his eyes sharpened, and he said coldly: "General Liu is threatening me, Mr. Zhong, now?"

"It's not a threat!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu clapped his hands. Jiu'er walked in from the outside with two soldiers. The two soldiers also brought in a big cloth bag and placed it on the ground with a bang.

Zhong Jian, Zhong Ji, and Zhong Gui looked at the cloth bag thrown in the middle of the lobby in surprise and asked: "General Liu, what is this?"

Liu Xiu didn't speak, only waved his hand. Jiu'er untied the bag and poured it out. What rolled out were bamboo slips, scattered all over the floor. Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhong might as well take a look at these." "

Zhong Jian stood up and walked to the bamboo slips. He first turned to look at Liu Xiu, then bent down, picked up a roll of bamboo slips, untied the rope, and opened it. He saw that it was a report letter against Zhong Mansion.

The content inside said that Zhong Jian had reported Liu Fei's family members, which resulted in the murder of all Liu Fei's family members in Xinye.

Liu Fei is a relative of the Liu family and a member of the Zhutiandu tribe. When the Xinye government massacred the family members of the Chung Ling Army, Liu Fei's family was indeed killed in Xinye. After reading this report, Zhong Jian took The bamboo slip's hands were trembling. He threw the bamboo slip to the ground and shouted angrily: "That's a bunch of nonsense! This... this is a bunch of nonsense! I never knew Liu Fei, so how could I report his family... …”

Liu Xiu said: "Zhong Gong, don't be impatient and there is no need to explain to me. Just read on slowly!"

Zhong Jian hurriedly picked up another bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it carefully. This was also a letter of accusation against the Zhong family. It said that during the Chung Ling army's attack on Xinye, the Zhong family strongly supported Cen Peng, donating money, food, and food. In terms of material donations, five or sixty domestic servants donated.

The numbers in this report letter are somewhat exaggerated, but they are basically true. The Zhong Mansion did donate money, food, materials and domestic slaves to Cen Peng, but they just didn’t expect as many as mentioned in the report letter. Zhong Jian read it. After a long time, he put down the letter of accusation with trembling hands, and then picked up other bamboo slips. Without exception, these bamboo slips were all used to report against the Zhong family. Some were true and some were false, some were exaggerated and some were true. Added together, there were more than twenty letters.

Zhong Ji and Zhong Gui couldn't help but come forward and check them one by one.

After reading it, the two of them were a little dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that there were so many reports against the Zhong family. Even if more than half of them were false and exaggerated, even if only one of them was true, it would be enough to kill the Zhong family.

Already.

A while ago, quite a few people were killed because they were reported!

Zhong Jian was stunned for a while. He swallowed, turned to look at Liu Xiu, and said: "Liu...General Liu, this...this..."

Liu Xiu stood up, walked to Zhong Jian, and said meaningfully: "Zhong Gong and my second brother-in-law are old friends, and the two families have a close relationship. Although there have been many reports against the Zhong family, I still think of Mr. Zhong and my second brother-in-law."

I have suppressed my friendship with him. I am confident that I have shown my conscience to Mr. Zhong and given me enough face. So this time, should Mr. Zhong reciprocate and give me Liu Xiu some face?"

As he spoke, he nodded to Jiu'er. Jiu'er understood and ordered the two soldiers to collect the bamboo slips and put them back into bags, ready to be sent back to the county government.

Listening to Liu Xiu's words and watching the soldiers clearing away the bamboo slips, Zhong Jian's expression changed. Liu Xiu was clearly telling him that the Zhong family could stick to their tough attitude and force Liu Jin to give Zhong Yue

life for a life.

But after this incident, the Chung Ling Army was able to settle the accounts and use these reporting letters to wipe out the entire Zhong family.

A person should know how to choose between the two options of avenging his son or killing his entire family. Beads of sweat dripped down Zhong Jian's forehead and cheeks, and his body was shaking non-stop.

After a while, he couldn't help bursting into tears, and said in a tearful voice: "General Liu, you can only kill people with a nod of your head, and your Zhu Tiandu tribe can't bully people like this! Did Quanzi die in vain?"

Liu Xiu sighed and said: "Mr. Zhong, I still say that people cannot be resurrected after death. Even if Liu Jin dies, Mr. Ling cannot be resurrected. However, I do have an office that can keep Mr. Ling's blood alive!

"

Zhong Jian, Zhong Ji, and Zhong Gui, who were crying bitterly, were suddenly stunned when they heard this. They looked at Liu Xiu blankly, not understanding what he meant.

Zhong Ji choked and said: "General Liu, my eldest brother is not married yet, so where does his blood come from?"

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong, you two Mr. Zhong, I'm afraid you don't know that Zhong Yue and Miss Yingxuan have had skin-to-skin contact for a long time, and they have already had a secret pregnancy."

After hearing this, Zhong Jian and his son opened their mouths unconsciously, with disbelief on their faces.

After a while, Zhong Ji asked in a trembling voice: "General Liu, you... you mean, Ying Xuan already has my brother's... flesh and blood?"

Liu Xiu nodded and said: "It has only been a few days since Yingxuan arrived at Baixiang Tower. Not to mention that she was hired by Mr. Zhong as soon as she arrived at Baixiang Tower. Even if she had received other guests during this period, she would not have been so fast.

She is pregnant, and the fetus in her belly can only be Mr. Zhong’s!"

This news was so shocking that Zhong Jian, Zhong Ji, and Zhong Gui were unable to react for a while.

Liu Xiu continued: "But you also know that with Miss Yingxuan's current status, she cannot be pregnant, and the fetus in her belly will definitely be aborted..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhong Jianzi was shocked, grabbed Liu Xiu's arm, and said urgently: "No! No! That child is the flesh and blood of the Zhong family, and the only flesh and blood left by Yue'er.

It can’t be aborted!”

Zhong Yue died, but Ying Xuan became pregnant with his flesh and blood. This was simply God's will, and it was also the greatest compensation for the Zhong family's pain of losing their son.

Liu Xiu nodded and said: "If Miss Yingxuan is still an official lady, of course she will be fine, but she is now...so..."

He deliberately did not finish what he said, but the meaning was obvious. Yingxuan was now a government prostitute and was not qualified to be pregnant, let alone have a child. The consequences of her pregnancy could only be to abort the fetus or be executed.

"I...our Zhong family can redeem her life for any amount of money..."

"Official prostitutes cannot redeem themselves." Liu Xiu said, "But we can do this. Mr. Zhong left Liu Jin's life for me, and I will give back a young master of the Zhong family!"
