Cao He looked at the knife pointed at him and sneered:
"It's easy to draw out a knife but hard to put it away. I'm blocking you here today. That woman in the yard is Ke Fu, and it was she who killed Luo Ning. What's going on?"
"Shua"
Su Lu raised his knife and dropped it, causing a huge head to fly up.
"Killed"
There was a shout from the crowd, and the crowd blocking the alleyway dispersed instantly.
Zhang Lu looked at the corpse with the head on one side in confusion, his face turned pale:
"Master Marquis, you have caused trouble. This is a direct descendant of the Cao family. Their family has been coveting this Wuli Lane for some time. You killed their family members."
Su Lu sheathed his sword, glanced at the people around him who had not dispersed, and said coldly:
"Luo Ning died in the battle to protect Beiyang City. We are here to provide pensions to his relatives. Anyone who dares to bully the Luo family should first think about whether their head is harder than the neck of Cao."
"Go in and give the pension."
Su Lu waved his arm, and a group of guards instantly filled the entire Wuli Alley. Zhang Lu walked in front holding a bag, and several guards followed him into the yard holding grain bags and silver.
In the yard, a young woman was crying while holding a bag. Next to the patio, an old man and an old woman were sitting with their heads hanging down.
"Old man Luo, we are here to give you your son's pension."
Zhang Lu spoke first.
Su Lu directly kicked Zhang Lu from behind: "How do you speak?"
Zhang Lu looked annoyed, patted the dirt on his butt and glared at Su Lu: "What happened to what I said?"
Su Lu took the silver bag from Niba's hand, walked over, and said to the fearful Father Luo:
"Uncle Luo, we are all Luo Ning's lords. Luo Ning died in battle, and we are here to give Luo Ning pension money."
Old Man Luo took the silver tremblingly, holding it heavily. The old man's expression immediately changed: "General, you can't do it, you can't do it, we can't use so much silver."
Su Lu held the old man's hand and said, "Uncle Luo, this is Luo Ning's pension money. It is what your family deserves. There is also some food behind, not much, just a little thought for the camp."
The old man looked at the silver and the grain behind him, and tears immediately flowed out of his eyes.
"My son"
"Ning'er, have you seen it? Your boss has come to give you a pension."
"Son, if you die, how will your father and mother live, and how will your daughter-in-law live?"
Su Lu stood up straight, hugging Douluo, and looked at the tearful old man Luo and his wife, and the weeping wife Luo Ning, silently.
The annoyed look on Zhang Lu's face disappeared, and he looked a little moved when he looked at the crying old man Luo.
Old Man Luo cried for a while, hurriedly wiped his tears, and struggled to get up: "General, please sit down, and I will get you some water."
Su Lu held down the old man's hand and said, "Uncle Luo, don't be polite. We have to go to another house to continue delivering pensions. We won't drink the water. If anything happens to you in the future, just go to Beiyang Marquis Mansion to find me."
The old man and the old lady were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Su Lu in surprise: "General, are you the Marquis of Beiyang?"
Tudun'er said from the side: "Uncle Luo, this is our Marquis of Beiyang. His residence is in the city. If you really have difficulties in the future, you can still go to the Marquis."
When the old man heard this, a hint of joy flashed on his face, but the joy dimmed in a moment: "Ning'er is gone, forget it, forget it."
The old man and the old lady saw Su Lu out. When they reached the door, they saw the guards standing on both sides of the alley, and their mouths opened wide.
Su Lu turned around and gave instructions: "All officers and men, salute the parents who died in death."
The sound of uniform fist-clasping salutes echoed in the alley.
Looking at the retreating guards, old man Luo and his wife burst into tears again.
Su Lu was riding on the horse and asked Zhang Lu next to him: "Captain Zhang, are you familiar with the Luo family?"
Zhang Lu thought about his failed attempt to use the Cao family's affairs to defeat Su Lu, so he had to say: "I can't say I'm familiar with them, but I know the Cao family."
Su Lu nodded: "That's fine. You can send a message to the Cao family for me. It was me, Su Lu, who killed the Cao family. If they have any grudges or grievances, they will all come towards me. If they dare to attack Luo Ning
If your family reaches out, don't blame me for leading the troops to kill you."
Zhang Lu's face turned pale: "Master Hou, for the sake of an ordinary family, you shouldn't do this, right?"
The guards next to him all gathered their eyes and looked at Su Lu, their faces full of hope.
Su Lu pulled the horse and raised his voice and said:
"Of course, Luo Ning is my robe, and you are also my robe. They are all my robes. One day, if they die on the battlefield, who can their families rely on? I, Su Lu, will take care of Luo Ning's family today, and I will take care of Luo Ning's family tomorrow."
I can take care of their family."
Zhang Lu's face turned pale when he saw Su Lu dismounting from his horse and walking towards the Cao Mansion on the roadside: "Captain, this is the Cao family, you can't go there."
Su Lu glanced at Zhang Lu: "Isn't Cao Jie our leader?"
Zhang Lu was speechless and speechless. Yes, Luo Ning was Paoze, and Cao Jie, the deceased Cao family member, was also Paoze.
Tudun'er walked up the steps and asked the servant at the door: "Does Cao Jie's family live here?"
The servant at the door looked Tudun'er up and down, and said disdainfully: "So what? The Cao family doesn't have relatives like you. Cao Jie is dead, so don't even think about having relatives."
"Get out, if Cao Jie is dead, you are no longer my Cao family."
There was a shout from the door, and an unkempt woman and a little girl were pushed out of the door by several servants.
The servant pointed at the woman and child who were pushed out, and said proudly: "Did you see, this is Cao Jie's mother and daughter. From now on, Cao Jie has nothing to do with the Cao family."
Su Lu stepped forward and helped Cao Jie's daughter Cao Hua. Zhang Lu's face was full of annoyance as he helped Cao Jie's wife.
"Are you Cao Jie's daughter?"
Su Lu asked the little girl with tears on her face.
The little girl nodded repeatedly and burst into tears. She was just ten years old and was so shocked by her father's death that she couldn't even speak.
Cao Jie broke away from Zhang Lu's support, struggled over, and snatched Cao Hua from Su Lu's hand, her face full of fear:
"You, who are you, and what do you want to do? Let me tell you, we are from the Cao family. You can't bully our orphans and widowed mothers. The Cao family will stand up for us."
"What's wrong with you? You've already been kicked out of the Cao family."
The servant who ridiculed Tudun'er stood on the steps and continued to ridicule Old Man Cao.
"Get out of here"
Su Lu glanced at the servant.
The servant's face turned red, he looked at the guards standing in a row, and shouted with anger: "Get out of here, you are nothing. I tell you, don't think that being a general makes you awesome. I will lead one."
If you say so, you will lose your official position."
Su Lu smiled and glanced at Niba next to him: "Tell him who I am and draw my sword."
Zhang Lu came up and held down Niba's hand, "Master Hou, you can't kill anyone anymore. This is the Cao family. There are six tribes in the three provinces, but they are all families with people, so we can't afford to offend them."
At this moment, Zhang Lu really thought about Su Lu.
Niba's arms shook and he avoided Zhang Lu, pointing the steel knife in his hand at the servant's throat.
"My Marquis is the fourth-rank Mingwei General of the Imperial Court, who has the title of Marquis of Beiyang, the envoy of Beiyang camp transfer, the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Route Army, and the Marquis of Su Lu."
The servant raised his chin: "The official is not small, so what?
My old master, the Cao family, has served as the secretary of the Central Committee and served as the crown prince and Taibao. My eldest son is still the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and my third son is also the commander-in-chief of the patrol camp in the capital."
With a bang, the servant reported a large number of Cao family officials.
Niba sneered: "Are you done?"
The servant suddenly rolled back to avoid Niba's knife, and howled like a ghost: "Kill someone, someone is going to kill someone in front of Cao's house!"
Niba was a little confused for a moment. What did he mean? Just now he was so stubborn that he was bragging to me. Why is he so timid now?
