Chapter 361 Internal help is not good enough to destroy the family
The whole city of Liaoxi Prefecture wears filial piety.
The white flag fluttering at the top of the city, the white silk wrapped around the waist of the border troops, and the white cloth stretched on the plaque in front of the Governor's Mansion, the entire western Liaoning Province is a sea of white mourning cloth.
There were sounds of pain everywhere in the frontier commander's house.
In the backyard, the old lady of the Li family sat blankly beside the stone table, her face full of loneliness, looking at the stone table and bench in front of her.
"Mom, please go back and rest for a while. Dad is gone and he doesn't want to see you like this."
"Mom, please listen to my second sister, our family can no longer live without you."
"Grandma, please get some sleep. Grandpa doesn't want you to do this."
The old lady was surrounded by her daughters, grandchildren, and granddaughters, all talking to persuade the old lady.
Li Lu hurried in from the front yard, wearing a white silk ribbon around his waist and a filial piety hat. When he saw the old lady, he knelt on one knee and spoke.
"Grandma, Lord Zhizhou, please see me."
"not see"
The old lady looked cold and glanced at Li Lu. There was a moment of gentleness on her face, but it turned calm again in an instant. The grandson was the one the old man cultivated the most, but the grandson was useless. When he saw the grandson, he thought of that day again.
The old man was sighing and sighing.
Li Lu got up helplessly, walked out of the front yard, and confessed to Mr. He, his face full of helplessness.
Master He also looked a little sad when he heard this: "The commander-in-chief is gone. The old woman is hurting her body like this. What should I do?"
Li Lu's face was almost wrinkled into a bitter gourd. His grandfather was gone, but his grandmother's mission was still there. If his grandmother was gone and the Li family didn't even have anyone to support the family business, the Li family would really be doomed.
"I don't know what to do. Mr. He, my grandfather has passed away and there is no elder in the family who can be the backbone. Lu is feeling uneasy."
Under the guidance of an old soldier, Lu Zhan arrived at the front yard. When he heard Li Lu complaining, he suddenly became angry. Such a wise man, the commander-in-chief, how could he have such a useless grandson.
"The Marshal entrusted you to the prince that day. In this Liaoxi Mansion, the only one who can persuade the old woman is the prince."
Li Lu's eyes lit up, he grabbed Lu Zhan and walked out.
"Let's go, Lu Zhan, come with me to invite the prince. You are the prince's personal soldier, so you must know where the prince is."
When the two of them saw Su Lu, Su Lu was patrolling the city. Looking at the helpless Li Lu, Su Lu sighed.
"Let's go, lead the way, I'll go see the old woman."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered Ma Ping: "Train these guys well. They can't move through even a mere spear formation. What's the use of them? If they can't move through training, they can be put on the front line at the top of the city to resist the enemy next time."
.”
After Su Lu finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the city wall. Ye Qingmei hurriedly followed with several guards.
The Marine waved his hand, and dozens of Black Flag troops rushed out and followed closely.
When Su Lu arrived at Li's Mansion, the court angel had just finished announcing the posthumous title to Li Chengfeng, posthumously conferring the title of King of Jin, granting two sons the title of Vizier, and receiving promotions from the entire mansion.
But the angel who announced the decree was unhappy.
"Step aside"
When the angel saw the Black Flag Army opening the way, he was immediately furious.
I was angry with the old woman just now. There is nothing I can do about it. Even you, a mere black flag army, dare to block my way.
As he spoke, the angel smashed the fly whisk in his hand at Lu Zhan's face.
Behind me, Su Lu, who entered the mansion, had a cold expression on his face: "Pull me out and give me fifty lashes. If you beat me to death, I will be marked on the head."
"If you dare to cause trouble in front of Li Shuailing, you deserve to die."
Su Lu flicked his sleeves and entered the courtyard.
Angel faced the Black Flag Army who came to execute him and shouted: "You dare to arrest me, you don't know whether to live or die."
"Don't be afraid if you are in the army. You must have family members. I don't believe you can accept them into the army."
Several black flag soldiers stopped immediately. The old eunuch was so cruel that if he couldn't be killed with fifty lashes and he was really provoked, it would be a big deal.
Su Lu's voice came from the front.
"Why, you dare to mess with my soldiers. It seems like you don't know me."
Angel's face became angry: "Our family doesn't care who you are. If you dare to touch a hair of our family, we will see if we don't make you bankrupt."
Li Lu hurriedly came over and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, this is your Majesty's celebrity, Eunuch Cao Bao. You cannot offend me."
Hearing Li Lu's words, Eunuch Cao's face paled. There was only one living prince in Han Dynasty. He was invited by Li Chengfeng and was conferred the title of Prince of Anguo County by His Majesty.
In his own arms, he still wanted the imperial decree of canonization from the Prince of Anguo County, Jin Anguo.
Su Lu raised his hand and said, "Give me a hand and kill me."
The two guards rushed forward and were about to hold Cao Bao down.
Cao Bao's robes were fluttering, and his inner breath was surging: "Your Majesty, I have never offended you. I still carry your imperial edict to be crowned a prince."
Su Lu's face turned cold: "Without Li Chengfeng, I really thought that I would be canonized by one of your Western Qin princes. If you give me a less whip, I will kill him today."
Ye Qingmei put her hand on the hilt of the sword, looking at Cao Bao with eager eyes, as if he was ready to take action at any time. Ye Qingmei had seen countless masters, and this Cao Bao's kung fu seemed to be quite high, which reminded her of Gao Zhan, who
I can't help but feel a little eager to try it.
Cao Bao said nothing and allowed the two guards to hold him down. He lay on the ground and was whipped.
Zhao Shuo and Xiang Chong, who followed behind, looked confused. Looking at the whipped angel, the two of them were going crazy. What was going on?
Why did you whip Cao Bao?
"Your Majesty, Cao Bao cannot be offended."
Zhao Shuo said with a pale face, "This Cao Bao will retaliate. He is the most stingy. When the commander-in-chief was there, he did not dare to offend him. Now that he was whipped in front of his soul, he will definitely hold a grudge against the Li family."
Su Lu glanced at Li Lu: "This man is the bane of your Li family. Do you still plead for him?"
Li Lu murmured: "If Cao Bao is killed, my Li family will be stinky to His Majesty, and the reputation that my grandfather has worked so hard to create will be lost."
Su Lu snorted coldly: "A woman's kindness, Ye Qingmei, I'll beat her to death."
Ye Qing brows drew out the long sword and looked at Cao Bao with a sarcastic expression: "Did you hear that? Your Majesty asked me to beat you to death. I hate corrupt officials like you the most. You all deserve to die. Come on, follow me."
It would be better for me to fight and die by my sword than to be beaten to death."
Cao Bao's face turned red, he glanced at Su Lu and lowered his head.
The old woman came from the backyard and said in persuasive words: "Your Majesty, please spare his life. My husband is newly mourned, and the worst thing to do is see a dead person."
Su Lu raised his eyebrows, "This is a suicide attempt. If you don't see anyone dead, your family will be doomed."
"Why, the old lady wants to sow a big disaster for the Li family?"
Su Lu squinted his eyes and looked at the old lady.
The old lady snorted in her nostrils: "It's just a eunuch, I don't take him seriously."
Su Lu looked at Li Lu who was muttering next to him: "Your grandfather entrusted you to me, so I have the obligation to give you a few words. This Cao Bao must repay his anger. I was offended in your Li Mansion today, and I will naturally want to make amends in the future."
, and he is a close official of Emperor Qin. If he wants to destroy your Li family, he only needs a few slanders."
"Are you sure you want me to let him go?"
The old lady was very angry: "I told you to let him go. I don't want to see the dead again."
Su Lu ignored the old lady, stared at Li Lu and asked: "Li Shuai entrusted me to you, Li Lu, and your brother. Today is the time for you to make a choice."
Li Lu's face was ashen, his hands were trembling, he looked at the old lady and then at Cao Bao, his eyes hesitant several times.
Xiang Chong said: "Your Majesty, since Li Shuai has requested me, why should you embarrass Brother Li Lu?"
Su Lu snorted coldly and raised his hand: "Here comes the knife."
