After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

There was a moment of silence at the entrance of Liu's house. Many people had not yet reacted and were staring in a daze at the young man in front of them holding a bamboo stick.

Liu Abao also looked at the young man in front of him. The young man was not even as tall as himself, but at this moment her figure blocked his way like a mountain.

Liu Wenru had already walked over. The figure that had been swaying back turned around and stretched out his hand to Yingge. "What are you doing?" She scolded, and then turned to the officers and soldiers beside her, saying with some disapproval, "Children are ignorant, don't..."

The soldier's knife and Yingge's crutch were intertwined. Liu Wenru stretched out his hand and grasped the crutch. The crutch and the knife were pulled apart one after another, as if reluctantly, with a choking sound.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Wenru yelled, "Why are you so disobedient, kid?"

Liu Abao seemed to be frightened and no longer dared to struggle. He stood motionless behind Yingge.

The red guard chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, children don't understand."

The soldier holding the knife also waved his hand and said, "Okay, send Miss Liu to the carriage."

After hearing this, the soldier withdrew his attack, put the drawn knife back into the scabbard with one hand, and used the other hand to pull Liu Abao.

Liu Abao was still motionless at this time, probably frightened by the scene of drawing the sword just now. It turned out that her father, who had always been powerful in her garden, had to hide his power and even responded with a smile when facing those government officials. Her family was so vulnerable in the face of such power.

She had never realized this cruel truth before, but now she truly experienced it.

Liu Wenru took a step back and said, "You are old enough now, you should be more sensible. I will find time to visit you."

Liu Abao did not move, and the soldier did not move either, because Yingge was still standing there. She had asked Liu Abao to be protected behind her. The soldier did not use his knife, and she did not respond with his cane. Instead, she said very politely, "No, she cannot go with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at her. Yu Feng's sobbing stopped, and Liu Ziheng did not laugh at her. Instead, he tightened his hands that were hanging by his side.

The soldiers still held their swords tightly, and Yingge stood there steadily. The red-robed guard walked in front of the horse, looked Yingge up and down and asked, "Who are you and why?"

Before Yingge could answer, Xue's sudden voice interrupted her, "Yingzi!" Her voice was trembling with fear and uneasiness. She instantly squeezed out of the crowd and came in front of Yingge, throwing herself on Yingge and blocking her from the officers and soldiers.

"She is my nephew," Liu Wenru answered first, then turned around and scolded Yingge, "Go back, what are you doing?"

The red-robed guard seemed to have just come to his senses and said, "You are that Yingge." She was the young man whom Lord Lu praised as a good writer. Lord Lu loved poetry, but they didn't like it. However, it could not be denied that they didn't pay attention to it. They had heard of her before, but had never paid much attention to her.

Yingge responded, ignoring Liu Wenru, then patted Liu Abao with one hand and looked at the guards over there and said, "I am Yingge. The adults should know that Liu Abao is my fiancée and we will be married soon, so I can't let them go with you."

Xue said tremblingly, "Yingzi, we don't want this marriage anymore..."

Liu Wenru said, "This marriage is not counted. My daughter will not marry you. Go away."

"That won't do. A gentleman values ​​his word. How can this marriage be cancelled? Even if we don't want to get married, we have to wait until I pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar." She turned and said to the red-robed guard, "Five years later."

The red guard seemed to be a little angry and laughed, "You kid, do you know who we are?"

Xue hugged Yingge tightly and cried. Liu Wenru seemed to be a little stunned by this scene. He stopped trying to persuade her gently and gave an order directly, "Come here, tie her up and bring her back to me."

The red guard raised his hand to stop the chaos and said to Yingge, "What if I insist on taking her away? What will you do?"

Yingge said, "That kid will keep suing until the government accepts his lawsuit."

"You all condone the snatching of someone else's wife."

The red guard seemed to have heard something funny, and he actually laughed out loud, but Yingge said again, "According to the laws of this dynasty, you cannot rob another person's wife. The laws of the court are majestic, and even the emperor sitting high must abide by them. Are you more powerful than the current emperor?"

The red guard's laughing face froze, and then he sneered, "Law, you want to sue Lord Lu, but Lord Lu is just following orders."

Yingge interrupted him and said, "I am not suing Lord Lu. Lord Lu did not steal my fiancée, so why should I sue him?"

The government officer said, "The maid selected by Lord Lu..."

Yingge interrupted him and said, "Lord Lu had already chosen a palace maid. I haven't heard of any of the palace maids Lord Lu chose. Now that one is gone, he has to choose another one from this family..."

Why don't you say it's because Lord Lu is dead? If he were still alive, he would have made the same choice. After saying this, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Scholars are the most eloquent. What they are good at is not their quiet words, but the great principles they want to fight for.

The red-clothed guard thought to himself, a young boy, just because he can write a few poems, thinks he is so ignorant of the world. Does he think he can do anything?

The red guard ignored her and sneered, "You are always at my service, go ahead and sue me, and take me away.

Yingge was not afraid of their momentum at all. She just stepped forward and said, "Okay, I will go and sue you, as you wish."

Hmm? The red guard was a little puzzled. Yingge stepped forward and said, "I will go and sue now. If the government rules that I lose, you can take the person away." After that, he took Liu Abao's hand, exerted a little force on his shoulders, pushed Xue away, and strode forward.

Liu Abao was like a lamb to be slaughtered, his hands were still tied and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. The anger on his face had faded a little, leaving only his eyes wide open.

Xue cried loudly, asking how could this happen. What should we do? Liu Wenru's hands and feet seemed to become stiffer. He just shouted to the servants of the Liu Mansion, "Tie her up for me too."

The servants stepped forward hesitantly, and some even ran faster than them.

Yufeng wiped his tears with his sleeve and followed behind, shouting, "We will sue, we will definitely sue, they only know how to bully people..."

Liu Ziheng suddenly clenched his fists and ran quickly towards the door.

The servants gathered around and timidly called out "Master Yingzi". Some even wanted to reach out to pull her, but the young man dodged them all. A clanging sound was heard in front, and the officers and soldiers drew their swords and pointed them at the thin young man.

At this time, Yingge's footsteps did not stop at all. She could not see the big knives flashing with cold light, nor could she see Liu Ziheng and Yufeng, let alone Liu Abao.

A loud shout was heard behind them, and everyone was startled. They saw Liu Ziheng coming out of the door with a spear in his hand. He ran to Yingge with eyes wide open and teeth gritted, and faced the officers and soldiers together with Yingge.

"Let's sue the authorities." If you listen carefully, you can hear the trembling in his voice, and even his body is shaking, but he still holds the spear tightly in his hand.

Xue seemed to have forgotten to cry, and Liu Wenru was also stunned. The second master of the Liu Mansion and all the servants were mumbling about something, but finally they all calmed down.

The red-robed guards looked down at the young men in front of them. The leading young man was thin and frail. He was leaning on a cane and wearing a green shirt like ordinary people, but his expression was exceptionally calm.

This kid...

"Yingge, you are so brave, what do you want to do?" the guard shouted.

Yingge said, "Yingge has been taught by the saints to understand the truth, and believes in the greatness of heaven and earth. She is not afraid of ghosts and monsters. We have never transgressed in our dealings with the world today, so why should we be afraid?" She looked at the red-robed guards and soldiers and said, "Unless you kill us today, I will crawl to the government and ask the fair and strict national law to ask who is bound by this law, or can anyone disobey it? Is the disobeyer the governor, the county lord, or the current emperor?"

After saying that, she strode forward, holding Liu Abao's hand without any fear. Liu Ziheng and Yu Feng beside her were also not afraid. They stepped forward and walked towards the cold and eerie tip of the knife.

This group of young men and the surrounding neighbors all stared at the scene with wide eyes and held their breath.
