insane

For breakfast, Liu Mu straightened up and sat at the table, afraid that a wrong posture would open the wound on his back.

The second lady raised her eyebrows and said, "You guys have caused a big disaster. I heard that Governor Xia's youngest son broke the head of a servant. It must have hurt his head. He was so stupid. He couldn't speak clearly, his nose was dripping and drooling, and he kept giggling. There were also the two sons of the Zhang family and the Xu family who beat the other servants very hard. I heard that the eldest son of the Zhou family They are almost crippled, and this matter is now rumored outside. The Zhou family is not an ordinary family. I guess this matter is not so easy to settle. I also heard that the elder brother of the master of the Zhou family was a Beijing official, and the Zhou family threatened It is said that if the Jinling government does not impose a heavy sentence, it will go to the capital to sue."

Liu Ye said worriedly, "Mother, if you can't get through the government, what will happen to the elder brother?"

The second lady said, "Then let's do business!"

Liu Ye asked, "Business? What can I do?"

The second lady sighed, and said in a tone-deaf way, "Oh, those who are sentenced to 20 or 20 years are lucky. Those who are unlucky will not be sent to the frontiers, to do hard work in places where birds don't shit, and to build the Great Wall .But even if you live in a big prison for ten or twenty years, the killing blow will definitely be unavoidable."

Liu Ye looked at the second lady, "The killing power stick?"

The second lady said vividly, "To put it bluntly, it's a stick! I saw it with my own eyes in the north when I was young. It was a tragedy, because the man slapped the county magistrate's son and was beaten sixty times." The big board, bloody, I heard that the whole person was disabled later, and the lower half of the body can't be controlled anymore. It's just like that for the rest of my life, and it's better to die than to survive."

Liu Mu didn't pay attention to the second lady, just lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl.

Hearing what the second lady said, Liu Ye's face turned pale with fright, "Sixty boards for one slap in the face, big brother beat people like that, wouldn't it be more than 160 boards! Big brother, What if you are captured by the government! Or let's hide somewhere else first."

Liu Mu raised his head and smiled at Liu Ye, "Don't worry, big brother Jiren has his own destiny, and nothing will happen. If the government really wants to arrest me, I'm afraid that the killing stick has already hit me, so what? Let me wait in peace until now."

The second lady said, "Mu'er is ruthless enough to attack. I heard that the son of the Zhou family is lying at home every day, and he has to be served even when he relieves himself. It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, but your father met in the north in the early years. When it comes to bandits, you are not as ruthless as you."

Liu Mu said angrily, "I heard in the early years that my father taught a group of bandits to death with only a few shop assistants in the north. I am my father's eldest son, so naturally I will inherit my father's blood. This is called' Green is superior to blue and better than black'!" In the words, the words "born the eldest son" were emphasized.

As for the 'blue is better than black', if Mr. Liu heard Liu Mu's mistakes on weekdays, he would definitely correct and teach her a few words, but now he is not in the mood anymore.

What did the Second Madam want to say, as soon as she opened her mouth, Yu Wanran pointed to the dish in front of the Second Madam, and said to the maid serving behind her, "Go and change that dish."

"Yes." The servant girl was about to leave with the tray.The second lady stopped the servant girl and said, "You have only eaten a few bites of such a good dish, you have to change it! Although the master is known as the richest man in Jinling, everyone has a lot of money in their great career, but we can't let you two squander it like this. Our family is now But keep everything simple, you don’t know how much money the master spent on Liumu. Even if the whole family eats porridge and vegetables for a lifetime, I’m afraid it won’t cost half of the money.”

Master Liu said, "Ever since the whole family sat down to eat, your mouth hasn't stopped. If you don't replace this good dish with saliva, no one else will eat it!"

Yu Wanran said respectfully, "Thank you dad, that's exactly what Wanran meant."

Master Liu sighed, "Let's all eat."

Seeing that Master Liu was angry, the second lady didn't dare to say any more, she just glanced at Yu Wanran sullenly, thinking, I'll see how long you can be proud when your stupid husband is released from prison.Sooner or later, the Liu family will belong to our Lin'er, let's see if I don't drive you out of Liu's house like a bereaved dog!

After everyone had breakfast, Master Liu left Liu Mu and Yu Wanran in the room and told the others to leave first.

Master Liu said to Yu Wanran, "Father takes care of the business affairs properly, but the family affairs have never been taken care of well. Ever since your mother-in-law left, there has never been a day when this family has been quiet. In the past, Liumu I have always been alone at home. Although Xiangyun protects him, Xiangyun is still a servant in the mansion. Although some things are true, I can't say much. Now that you and Mu'er are together, the two of you If the husband and wife are of the same heart, father will be at ease. Father knows that you are a sensible and wise person, so if you have any decisions about the family, don't ask me, and don't be afraid of contradicting anyone, just do it boldly."

Yu Wanran nodded, "I understand, Dad."

Master Liu said to Liu Mu again, "You have caused a lot of trouble this time, if you can learn a lesson from this matter, it will be a blessing in disguise."

Liu Mu said, "Father, how is the government's management going?"

Mr. Liu said, "The people of the Zhou family will not let go, and it will not calm down for a while. But if you can tell the government that the scholar named Cao Min asked you to do this, you can reduce your guilt. As long as you accompany The case can be closed with some silver taels. As for going to prison or being punished, that’s all Cao Min’s business.”

Liu Mu hurriedly said, "No! This is what the four of us wanted to use to teach Zhou Dahai a lesson. If we put all the responsibility on Cao Min at this time, wouldn't it be inhumane? Father, I know I did this. It’s too much, if the government must pursue responsibility, I will accept the punishment and accept the punishment. Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, and it’s nothing more than life. Don’t you dare to take it after you’ve done everything.”

Master Liu nodded, and smiled wryly, "At least you know a word for righteousness, and you still have some backbone." After speaking, he got up and left the study.

The Zhou family was unwilling to let it go. The Liu family and the Zhang family and the Xu family paid a lot of money to settle the matter. The government refused to close the case in order to collect more money. Everyone gave a vague attitude.In the end, Governor Xia used his connections in the capital, and it took a lot of trouble to settle the matter.

Ever since Liu Mu got into trouble, he hadn't stepped out of the house, to be precise, he was banned by Master Liu.

Liumu was locked in Fuchu for more than half a month.Not only was he not allowed to go out, but Master Liu also ordered Liu Mu to copy a piece of the South China Classic every day.

Liu Mu held the writing brush, sat on the teacher's chair with a frown and stared at the black and white words on the table, Xiangyun said, "Hurry up and write, it's almost noon, and I'm not afraid that the master will punish you again at night."

Liu Mu said with a mournful face, "The thing I dislike the most is reading and writing. If I had known that I would be asked to write this every day, then I might as well hand it over to the government. I don't even know a few words in this book. How can I write it?" Liu Mu looked at the words on it, "Ah, I know this one, it is written on the gate of the south city, this must be Nan! Nan... what is it... what is sitting... what is the sky and what... what... Ah... this is somewhat similar to Zi Yan's Yan character, like... ah, I know this, I saw it in the coffin shop, it seems to read either death or mourning, what... what!"

Xiangyun walked over to read that sentence, and said, "Nan Guozi Qi sat in the plane, booed against the sky, and seemed to lose his coupling."

"These characters are all similar in strange shapes, and I don't know them. It's almost the same if I ask me to draw a picture."

Xiangyun said, "How can you know how to write if you don't learn. The master is not trying to punish you, he just wants you to learn more words through the process of copying books."

Liu Mu sighed, and muttered in a low voice, "What kind of man would you be? When you’re done, just hold your chin in a daze for a while, that’s what you call leisure.”

Xiangyun hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense again. We're not the only two of us in this other courtyard now, and we don't know how to be careful when we speak."

Liu Mu smiled, and Xiang Yun said again, "This is just to ground you, you can't bear the loneliness so much, if you make you look like a lady of a big family, don't buy things when you leave the door, talk softly, If you don't make a fuss, and if you don't smile without missing your teeth, then it's really worse than killing you."
