Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 467
In the Chengyi residence, in the bedroom in the backyard, everyone looked at Liu Meng who brought back the bad news.

"My uncle didn't live on the first day of junior high school. He was invited to have a drink at Cao Shenzheng's house that day, and my elder brother accompanied him." Liu Meng hissed:
"There is a lot of drinking in Jiangxi, and they drink until midnight. My uncle was already drunk when he was halfway through drinking. He said that he was going to the backyard to go to the latrine, and my elder brother wanted to accompany him. He said no, but he left. , and never came back."

"Everyone waited and waited, but there was no sign of my uncle, so I sent people to look for it, and even went to the house to ask me, is my uncle back?" Liu Meng said: "It turned out that they said no, so I panicked and hurried around Look for……"

"Finally, I found my uncle's body in the well in the backyard of the Cao Can politician's house..." As he spoke, he burst into tears:

"According to the examination conducted by Chasi, it was concluded that my uncle died of drowning and there was no other trauma. According to Chasi, he gave a conclusion that he fell into the water after drinking and reported it. My elder brother also asked me to go to Beijing to report the funeral. He was guarding in Nanchang. My uncle's body."

"Alas..." After listening to Liu Meng's narration, Liu Bowen sighed in a deep voice: "Nizi, I told you not to go or not, but you didn't listen. It's all right now, I paid for my life."

"Where are the two guards I sent to my senior brother? What are those two cubs doing for food?!" Zhu Zhen asked through gritted teeth.

"Brother Zhang and Brother Zhao have been doing their best, but isn't that the New Year's day? Since there is no plan to go out, my uncle will let them go out to get some fresh air..."

"..." Zhu Zhen wanted to say that the two of them would not take turns to take vacations?But it's useless to say anything now.Besides, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?They just wanted to kill Liu Lian, and the two of them couldn't stop him.

"Father, did my elder brother really fall into the water?" Liu Jing asked sadly.

"Probably not." Liu Bowen shook his head and asked Liu Meng, "You said just now that they went home to look for Uncle Ni?"

"Yes." Liu Meng nodded.

"Did they knock on the door to go in, or shouted outside?" Liu Bowen asked.

"Cao participated in politics on the left, and my uncle participated in politics on the right. The two houses are next to each other, separated by a wall." Liu Meng then replied, "They shouted through the wall."

"Speak your conversation carefully without changing a single word." Liu Bowen said in a deep voice.

"Yes..." Liu Meng pondered for a moment before Fang cautiously said:

"Who shouted at that time, I didn't hear clearly, I just remember that the person shouted 'Liu Meng Liu Meng?', I came out and asked 'what's the matter?', and the man asked, 'Has your master gone back? ?', I said 'No, the door has been locked', and the other side said 'Got it', and then didn't ask me anything..."

"Before that person opened his mouth, he knew something had happened to Liu Lian..." Liu Bowen sighed sadly.

"Why?" Everyone asked puzzled.

"Because normally, he should directly ask, 'Liu Canzheng, have you gone home?'" The sixth child replied on behalf of the master:

"Instead of making a fuss, don't ask my senior brother, ask Liu Meng. This can only show that the person who asked the question already knew that my senior brother didn't go back."

"Yes..." Liu Bowen nodded sadly and said, "So, most likely, Liu Lian was killed."

"Master, you are too strict, what do you mean most likely? My brother was murdered!" Lao Liu's face was terribly gloomy. "The one who killed him was among those who pretended to be looking for him!"

"Ah?!" The faces of Liu Jing and the others became more sad, and Liu Li cried even more.Knowing that a loved one was killed by others is much more painful than knowing that a loved one died due to an accident.

"..." Liu Bowen looked straight at the sixth child, Zhu Zhen nodded heavily and said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and avenge my brother!"

"Okay." Liu Bowen squeezed out the word from his throat, and fell into a faint again.

The Liu family also fell into great grief.Liu Li cried until her eyes were swollen, and she kept crying.

Zhu Zhen silently stayed by the side until the palace gate was about to close, then whispered: "I have to go back, I'll see you again tomorrow morning."

Liu Li nodded, but her slender fingers tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes, unwilling to let go for a long time.

She has already put on filial piety clothes, and her appearance is becoming more and more pitiful. How can His Highness King Chu be so hard-hearted and walk away?
"Okay, then I won't go back tonight." Zhu Zhen sighed, and said to Wang Ma: "Go and tell the eldest brother, just say that my brother is gone, and I have to stay here with my master tonight."

"Yes." Mama Wang exposed him quite often, are you accompanying your master?

~~
At night, the mournful wind whimpered.

In the temporary mourning hall, candle shadows danced with the sound of the wind, reflecting a pair of figures.

That was Zhu Zhen accompanying Liu Li to guard the spirit of his senior brother.

In just half a day, Liu Li seemed to be a different person.Her big eyes lost their agility, and her fair skin also lost its color. She knelt before the coffin and murmured while burning the paper:

"My father loved me since I was a child. He would bring me delicious food every day when he came back from the yamen. He didn't force me to study, but he wanted me to grow up happily..."

"My mother left early. My father was afraid that I would be wronged, so he never continued. He was alone all day long. When he got there, he didn't know if he could reunite with my mother?"

"Later, when I became sensible, I persuaded my father to continue, but he always said that there was no rush. When I got married, someone would worry about him..."

"Little uncle, why do you think they are so cruel, don't they know that I have only one father left?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect senior brother well." Zhu Zhen sighed lightly, took off his cloak, and put it on Liu Li's slender shoulders.

"How can you blame little uncle? If you hadn't sent someone to protect him, maybe my father would have been killed by someone." Liu Li shook her head, seeing clearly.

Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that there was no chance to strike, the murderer would not have worked overtime on the first day of the lunar new year, and would have done it in the chief envoy's yamen.

"Hey, I will definitely go to Nanchang myself and tear the murderer into pieces!" Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth.

"I'm going too. I want to bring my father home. I can't leave him there alone." Liu Li said softly, "I also want to personally stab the murderer and avenge my father... He doesn't have a son. It's up to me to do it."

"..." Zhu Zhen said softly, "I'll just go for you."

"I don't." Liu Li said stubbornly.

"Oh, let's talk about it when the time comes..." Zhu Zhen sighed.

The two were talking, and then fell asleep cuddling each other.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Zhen was awakened by Liu Li's crying, and found that she was still in a dream, calling for her father.Tears have soaked half of his shoulders.

Zhu Zhen sighed secretly, took the blanket handed over by the eunuch, covered Liu Li lightly with one hand, and then patted her like coaxing a child.

Liu Li's crying gradually stopped, her breathing became even, and she finally fell asleep on Zhu Zhen's shoulder.
