Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 477

"The two of you got out of hand after the war. They were together day and night after the war. Later, your second uncle was transferred from Nanchang and swore that he would redeem her when he came back. You know, our man's mouth..." The uncle sighed with a complicated expression, obviously he did such immoral things back then.

And with the appearance of the uncle, the number of crimes committed must be at least ten times that of the second uncle.No wonder he was so active in matching the two, it was to alleviate his sense of guilt.

"By the way, why does old Ah Fang call her second uncle Zhang Lang? Call her first uncle Brother Zhang, do you tell people that your surname is Zhang?" the sixth child asked again.

"That's right. We can't discredit your mother." The uncle nodded to pass on his experience and said, "If you go out to play in the future, you must hide your identity."

"Well, whatever bad things I do, I always report the name of Lao Qi." Lao Liu nodded.

"That won't work either." The uncle smiled wryly, "It's better to change your surname too."

"Okay." The sixth child said kindly: "Then my surname is Zhang, and Zhang Gongchang is a common surname, the least noticeable."

"No, ours is Li Zao Zhang." The uncle shook his head and said.

"Does it mean that you are determined to get up early?" Lao Liu asked.

"No. It's actually determined..." The uncle shook his head, feeling a little ashamed to speak, so he changed the subject and said in a low voice, "There are no more followers."

He has rich experience in the world, and he knows that the more mysterious and cautious he is at this time, the easier it is for the other party to become suspicious.Therefore, he has always been generous and ostentatious, and as long as the follower wants to watch, he will definitely be able to follow.

"They withdrew?" Lao Liu asked softly.

"No, I stayed in Chunfang Pavilion." The uncle shook his head lightly and said, "It should be just a stalker, and he has no skills at all. But this also shows that we didn't attract their attention, and we were just routine stalking."

"That's enough nonsense. Anyone who visited Zeng Tai will be followed. How guilty are those people?" Lao Liu said in a deep voice.

"I have a ghost in my heart, and it's a big ghost." The uncle nodded.

While talking, the two came to the bustling Hamo Street in Nanchang City.

As the name suggests, this is a place where Nanchang people sell toads and eat toads. Fortunately, it is the first month of the year. If they come two months later, the streets will be full of croaking toads.

This street is also called Fuhou Street, which is the street where the back gate of Nanchang Fuya is located.In addition to the toad shop, there are also service industries such as teahouses, restaurants, bathhouses, and inns on this street.

The inn is for people from all over Nanchang who are involved in lawsuits or who come to the magistrate's yamen to intercede and handle affairs.

After you settle down, you have to find someone to file a lawsuit, inquire about news, give gifts to intercede, and bargain.So where can these people be found?The waiter at the inn will tell you, don't worry, the guest officer, go to the next door to make a pot of tea, have a meal, and take a bath, and you will naturally find the person you need.

Because in those teahouses, restaurants, and bathhouses, there are litigants who litigate for others, brokers who help people manage relationships, "substitutes" who help people write documents for others, and local snakes who help people make peace.These idlers rely on this to eat.

These things are often dark and dark, and cannot be put on the table, so they cannot be placed on Yaqian Street, which represents the face of the imperial court and has two pavilions, Shenming and Jingshan.It was set up in the back street.This is the so-called 'back door'.

The uncle knew that the news of this kind of place was the best, so he booked the Tongfu Inn on Hama Street to stay.

A group of [-] or so of them booked a courtyard.The guards lived in the side rooms and side rooms.There are three main rooms, one for the eldest uncle and one for the second uncle, one for the sixth child and one for Liu Li, and they happen to be fully occupied.

Hu Quan was a little worried at first, whether His Royal Highness, who is used to ostentation, would think the arrangement was too cramped.However, the sixth child is content with it, the biggest advantage of their brothers is that they don't pick.After all, this condition is much better than living in thatched huts and sleeping in Datong bunks in Jinqiao.

As soon as Lao Liu came back, after washing his face and washing his hands, Liu Li served hot meals.She knows that little uncle never eats out...

Zhu Zhen was hungry for a long time, and he cheered when he saw the food, took the chopsticks and started to eat.While eating, he was full of praise: "My little niece's cooking skills are really getting better and better. If this continues, I won't be able to eat the food cooked by the cook."

"Little uncle is used to coaxing people." Liu Li sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, don't comfort me."

"What I'm telling is the truth, delicious food is delicious. This king never flatters me, especially when it comes to food." The sixth son said seriously.

"..." Liu Li wanted to laugh because of his serious look, but he couldn't.Her father's coffin was parked not far away in the feudal yamen, and it is still not possible to go there and cry at the coffin.

"Hurry up tomorrow, let uncle find a way to take you to meet senior brother." The sixth child said that he couldn't empathize, but he could still understand Liu Li's feelings.

"No, I can't make trouble for you." Liu Li bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her head and said, "It's the same if you pay a respect in the inn."

"It's okay." The sixth child said: "My uncle had to go there, there are many things that need to be clarified face to face."

For example, where did his two guards go?Why is there still no news.

"Yeah. I'll follow my little uncle's arrangement." Liu Li said obediently.

~~
The next day, the imperial envoy, who was a little sluggish, came to the chief secretary's yamen.

Xiong Qitai and Zeng Tai led the officials of the Second Division, who had been waiting at the gate of the yamen for a long time.

When the imperial envoy got off the carriage, he saw that Shen Liben did not wear the crimson official robe, but changed into a plain linen white robe, with a black horn belt around his waist, a standard official condolence attire.

According to the arrangement, today he will go to Liu Shenzheng's official residence to express his condolences, so he is dressed like this.Xiong Zeng and other officials also dressed in the same attire. After seeing the ceremony, they entered the chief secretary's yamen together with dignity.

Xiong Qitai led the way and led the imperial envoy to an official residence on the east side of the Yamen.I saw that the outer wall of the official building was piled up with wreaths and banners.Naturally, it is Liu Lian's family.

After entering, there were no wreaths and banners, but a simple mourning hall. The only strange thing was that there was no word on the elegiac couplet hanging outside the mourning hall, and there were only two white strips pasted on it.

In the mourning hall, only Liu Jing was keeping watch for his elder brother, and Liu Kong and Liu Meng were responsible for ushering and sending him off, looking very shabby.

"Liu Langzhong, the imperial envoy Shen Butang came to mourn brother Ling." Seeing Liu Jing sitting there motionless, Xiong Qitai said loudly to him.

"..." Liu Jing only glanced at Shen Liben, then lowered his eyelids again.

"You..." Xiong Qitai was very dissatisfied with his neglect.

Shen Liben waved his hand, signaling him not to be fussy.

"My lord is really a lot." Xiong Qitai hastily complimented.

Shen Liben could only smile wryly, and he was the only magistrate like them who took himself seriously.As everyone knows, in the eyes of those noble queens and sons in Beijing, this Shangshu is not a fart.

After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the average term of office of Shangshu was less than one year, and then he was demoted and dismissed if he was lucky, and beheaded and imprisoned if he was unlucky.Such a high-risk group of people, who would take them seriously?
