insane

Zhang Fu and Xia Tong returned to Jinling, first told Zi Yan about Liu Mu's conquest, and then went to Xu Gong's place.

When Xia Tong saw Xu Gong, he didn't say anything, just punched him to the ground, and cursed, "We are good brothers, how could you do this to my boss!"

Xu Gong stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhang Fu said, "You instigated Liu Lin to put the relics from the previous dynasty found in Liu's pawnshop, right? Why did you frame Liu Mu?"

Xu Gong said, "That's right, I did ask Liu Lin to put some things in it, but they were all worthless vulgar things, just to embarrass Liu Mu. But as for the evidence of treason you mentioned, it's not the same as I have nothing to do with it."

Xia Tong said, "Don't think that if you don't admit it, we don't know that you did it. No wonder you closed dozens of shops in the Liu family just after something happened. You must have done things for that Feng, so he did it. Will let you get these benefits!"

Xu Gong smiled disdainfully, and said, "People don't want to kill the world for themselves. To be a human being, you must know how to assess the situation. No matter how rich and powerful his Liu family is, he is just a local rich man in Jinling. However, it is very different to cling to the powerful. If you have power, don't you fear that you will not have it?" Money. Money and power have never been too much for anyone. Although I don’t know the source of the Liu family’s criminal evidence, Mr. Feng did promise me that as long as I stand by his side, he will give me half of the Liu family’s shop in the future .Since I can overthrow the Liu family and become the number one businessman in Jinling, why not do it."

Xia Tong punched Xu Gong in the face again, and scolded, "We have kowtowed in front of Second Lord Guan, how could you treat your brother like this! Now you are satisfied, if the new emperor hadn't ascended the throne, I'm afraid my boss Already decapitated."

"Yeah, I'm satisfied. When Liu Mu beat me up because of a woman that day, did he think that we are brothers who kowtowed in front of Second Master Guan?" Xu Gong wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, and spat in On the ground, "Since you are ignorant of current affairs, don't blame me for disregarding the brotherhood of the past from now on, everyone can do it for themselves!"

Less than a month after the members of the Liu family left the capital, they were restored to freedom by an imperial decree from the emperor.I don't know what Prime Minister Zeng did to find out that those relics from the previous dynasty were just fakes, and then the pawnshop where the evidence was found caught fire that day, and all possible clues were burned. As for the relics from the previous dynasty There is no way to verify the origin of the counterfeit.

Of course, Zeng Qing only sent someone to bring out Liu Sheng, his father and son, the second wife, and Liu Mu's four confidant servants. As for the other servants, they were all sent to the frontier to be exiled according to Liu Mu's wishes.

Liu Mu and the others returned to the capital and temporarily lived in another mansion of the Zeng family.And Liu Mu also had to fulfill his promise and join Zeng's family.

"Why, you're going to get married tomorrow, are you very unhappy?" Seeing Liu Mu's dejected daze, Zeng Qing naturally guessed what the other person was thinking.

Liu Mu forced a smile, "I survived this catastrophe, and became the son-in-law of Prime Minister You from a prisoner. This is something that many people would not envy. How could I be unhappy?"

Zeng Qing said, "I know, this matter is a bit embarrassing for you. But if it weren't for this, with my father's temper, I'm afraid he wouldn't rescue you."

Liu Mu smiled bitterly, "In order to save our lives, I made you do such absurd things, I am the one who made things difficult for you."

Zeng Qing also smiled wryly, "How do you know that this is embarrassing me? Marrying you will fulfill a long-standing wish of mine."

"Zeng Qing, I don't know if I gave you some illusion when I was in Huguo Temple, which made you love me so deeply. I have seen everything you have done for me, and I also know that you love me so much. My affection, but then again, you and I are two after all..."

Zeng Qing hastily put his hand on Liu Mu's lips, and said in a low voice, "Don't say it's the Zeng family's house, I'm afraid there are many corners in the whole capital where my father's eyeliner is hidden." Zeng Qing said in a normal manner, "Yes Ah, I know you mind that you have been married before, but I don't mind marrying you, a person who has been married, has been in prison, and served in the army. What do you have to worry about. What I am looking for is only You are not anything else."

"Maybe it's God's will..." Liu Mu sighed, "Don't worry, since the two of us are husband and wife, I will naturally not let you down."

Zeng Qing smiled wryly, "I'm satisfied with what you say," and then stretched out her tone, smiling innocently, "I'm looking forward to the life after I get married with you. I don't know what it will be like. .”

Liu Mu smiled, "I'm a broom star, I just hope you can be safe and sound for the rest of your life, and don't be wronged because of me."

Zeng Qing ignored Liu Mu, and said to himself, "After getting married, you can listen to me for everything. I say go east, but you can't go west. I say eat noodles, but you can't drink porridge. I say ride a horse. You can't sit in a sedan chair. Also, you were famous for flirting with girls in Jinling back then. After you get married, you are not allowed to have any unreasonable thoughts about other women. Even the maids in your house are not allowed to take a second look... No, there are so many maids who end up filling the house because of serving the master accidentally. I can't give you this chance. Tomorrow I will replace all the maids in our house with old and ugly women. Look at you At that time, how can you hook up with three and four!"

Liu Mu also seemed to be amused by Zeng Qing's appearance, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Zeng Qing took Liu Mu's arm and said with a smile, "How many more children do we want at that time, how many do you want? I prefer daughters, how about you? Or both sons and daughters... What's your name... ..." That night Zeng Qing was always looking forward to the scene of living with Liu Mu after getting married, and it was not until four o'clock that he mumbled vaguely and fell asleep on Liu Mu's bed.

The next day, just after dawn, Zeng Qing was woken up by the panic-stricken mother-in-law, "My eldest lady, you are so anxious to death, I have found you. How can there be such a thing as a son-in-law who lived in the night before getting married?" What is the reason in the room?"

Zeng Qing stood in front of Liu Mu in a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and she was the only one in the room at this time, "Does it look good?" Zeng Qing asked Liu Mu who was in a daze, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Liu Mu put down the bright red groom's suit and said with a smile, "It's pretty."

"How does it compare to Yu Wanran?"

"..." Liu Mu was dumbfounded. Both Zeng Qing and Yu Wanran were women that many people dreamed of, but he married these two women by mistake, but they were both under such helpless circumstances.

Zeng Qing looked at the sequoia that had not been worn for a long time, and smiled wryly, "Is this dress difficult to wear? Could it be that the tailor didn't measure it properly."

Liu Mu picked up the clothes and wanted to put them on, but was snatched away by Zeng Qing. Zeng Qing smiled bitterly, "If you're thinking about her, then go for it. Sometimes you really have to make a choice." Only then will you see clearly who the person in your heart is.”

Zeng Qing saw Liu Mu's doubts, and said, "I'm serious. If you are not willing to marry me, you will not be happy after marriage. I only hope that what I bring to you is happiness, not these shackles. This kind of marriage is not uncommon for Miss Ben. It embarrasses you, insults me, and wastes the relationship between the two of us. Rather than letting you be wronged to be my husband-in-law, it is better that you will always be my brother Liu. You go Well, I will explain to my father, he won't embarrass Master Liu. Besides, Master Liu is under the care of Sister Xiangyun, so you don't have to worry."

"But on the day when the daughter of Xiangfu got married, the groom suddenly regretted the marriage, how can you explain it to the outside world?"

Zeng Qing said, "Mr. Liu is a dissolute man. He is unruly and can't get rid of his flirtatious temperament. This girl suddenly despises you. I am a dignified daughter of the prime minister's mansion, and I am the adopted daughter of the late emperor. How can I marry a rascal like you." At this time Although this is what he said, but when Liu Mu returned to Jinling in the future, he heard news from the Xiangfu that Zeng Qingqing suddenly regretted the marriage on the day of marriage because Zeng Qingqing was a stone girl and could not continue the incense for the Liu family. She felt ashamed of the Liu family, so she canceled got married.

Liu Mu smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

Zeng Qing gritted her teeth, feeling her nose sour, turned her head away from Liu Mu, and said, "Hurry up, be careful, Miss Ben will regret it later."

Liu Mu turned to leave, but was stopped by the other party again, "Wait!"

"how……"

Liu Mu was taken aback, thinking that what Zeng Qing said just now was deliberately testing himself, Zeng Qing turned around and threw a small burden to Liu Mu, "How can we go without entanglements, do you want to starve to death on the way! And yours The dagger that never leaves you, I found it for you, and it is also in the baggage."

From the first meeting with Zeng Qing in Huguo Temple to now, little by little, Liu Mu has feelings for Zeng Qing.But this seemingly flirtatious and passionate young man is a dead-headed one who went all the way to black.Xu is a preconceived notion, in Liu Mu's heart, Yu Wanran is always his first wife, and also a woman he can't live up to.

In the tea shed next to the official road, Liu Mu drank several bowls of tea with sweat profusely, and wolfed down two steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.Suddenly, two people, one tall and one short, sat down at the adjacent table, and the short one said, "How long will it take to get to Jinling?"

Another slightly taller man with a goatee said, "According to our foot strength, it takes two days to travel."

The short man said again, "I was going to the north to do business, and I insisted on leaving Jinling. Who knows that I have been away for more than ten years. I don't know what is going on with Jinling now, it is still not what it used to be."

Goatee said, "It's still the same. But do you remember that there were three big families in Jinling more than ten years ago?"

"Speaking of big families, I only remember the Liu family in Jinling, which was second to none at that time, and the Yu family and Zhao family."

Goatee laughed and said, "That's right, it's the three of them. How else can there be unpredictable events? This person has ups and downs, and there's really nothing to talk about."

"how do I say this?"

"Although the Zhao family is slightly inferior to the Liu family and Yu family, they are also among the top three in Jinling. But in the end, the family was ruined. The only male was burned to death in the fire, and the bloodline was completely cut off. Besides, the Yu family, who came out A daughter named Yu Wanran..."

The short man said, "Could it be Yu Wanran, the number one talented woman in Jinling?"

"Why, have you heard of this man?"

"Although I have been far away from Jinling in the north these years, I have heard of Yu Wanran's name. I heard that this girl has an appearance like a fairy, and she is proficient in everything. Some kind of expert has learned some kung fu."

Goatee said, "That's right, it's her. The Yu family has been in business for several generations, and they used to share the same name with the Liu family. Now they have sold off the mortgage and sold their daughter to the Liu family."

The short man said, "Boys should be married when they are college students, and girls should be married if they are college students. These two families can be regarded as well-matched."

"But the son of the Liu family is an ignorant and idle rascal. It's a pity for that talented woman. But the worst thing is that this rascal later divorced Yu Wanran for a woman from a brothel. But evil people have evil rewards, Mr. Liu After just retiring Yu Wanran, a few days later, a big event happened to the Liu family, it was said that they were suspected of treason, and they were going to be executed, but later they changed it to exile, and later they said that there was insufficient evidence, so let it go."

The short man said, "I seem to have heard about this in the north, but according to the time calculation, do you think that Mr. Liu knew that something was going to happen in the house, so he divorced his wife in advance to protect the safety of the girl?" ? If this is the case, then God knows, now that Mr. Liu has been released, the two of them will be able to reunite."

Goatee waved his hand, "I don't think so. Some people say that Liu Mu was released because he agreed to join the Prime Minister You of the current dynasty in their family. And recently, a patrol officer surnamed Feng came from the capital. Miss Jia chased after her closely, and went to the mansion to ask for kisses several times, but Miss Yu Jia didn't agree."

The short man said, "It seems that Miss Yu still has feelings for Mr. Liu."

"What's the use of that? I heard that Mr. Yu still likes Mrs. Feng. It's up to Yu Wanran to decide whether to agree with her parents' order or matchmaker's words. What's more, if she is a woman who has been divorced once, if she can marry For Mr. Feng, Master Yu is still enjoying himself."

Hearing this, Liu Mu got up to leave, and collided with the goatee who was going to refill the tea from the owner of the tea shed. After saying sorry twice, Liu Mu threw down a few copper coins and got on his horse and galloped away.

When Liu Mu returned to Jinling, he went straight to Yu Mansion. The gate of Yu Mansion was ajar. Seeing that there were no guards in front of the gate of Yu Mansion, Liu Mu walked in by himself. For some reason, he felt that the mansion was surprisingly quiet. .

When Liu Mu walked into the main hall, he was stupefied immediately, the ground was in a mess, and seeing Master Yu lying on the ground, Liu Mu thought that the other party had suffered from some old illness, so he hurried over, "Father-in-law?" Liu Mu lightly touched the other party's shoulder. After taking a few shots, seeing that Master Yu didn't respond, Liu Mu simply turned the opponent's body lying on the ground over, and Liu Mu was instantly stunned by what he saw.I saw bloodstains on Master Yu's chest, he was already dead, his eyes were still open, it looked like he saw something unbelievable before he died.

Liu Mu stared at the blood stain on his hands in horror, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the dagger under Master Yu's body, it must have been the murder weapon that killed him.But when he looked at the dagger carefully, Liu Mu was even more stupid. Isn't that his own dagger? Even the patterns on it and the inlaid gems are the same. Could it be that there is really another dagger in the world that is exactly the same as his own? ?Liu Mu subconsciously touched his waist, but found that his dagger had disappeared at some point.

Liu Mu vaguely felt something was wrong, but before he had time to think about it, he suddenly heard a woman screaming from inside. Liu Mu thought that the murderer was still committing crimes inside, so he ran in hastily, and saw a man lying on top of a woman Tearing off the opponent's clothes, Liu Mu hastily raised the round stool on the ground and slammed it fiercely on the man's head, only to see the man turn around and fly out of the window.

Liu Mu saw that the woman was not fully clothed, and the clothes she was wearing were torn by the prostitute and thief just now, so Liu Mu took off his coat and handed it to the woman, "Who is that man just now? You can see Clear?"

The woman suddenly grabbed Liu Mu's hand and pressed it to her chest, and started yelling again. Liu Mu couldn't break free for a while, only to hear a shout outside the door, "Stop!"

Liu Mu looked back and saw the people behind him, he was stunned, Feng Langqu and Wen Siren were standing outside the door looking at him, needless to say the attendants behind them, but there was another one who turned out to be Yu Wanran.

Yu Wanran's face was pale at this time, her eyes were red, she must have seen Master Yu's body.The corner of Yu Wanran's mouth twitched slightly, and Wen Siren let out a sneer, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu would have such a habit, even a little girl."

Liu Mu looked at Yu Wanran, and hurriedly said, "That's not the case, there was a whore and thief who wanted to insult this girl just now, I just beat that whore and thief away."

Feng Langqu said, "Since you keep saying that someone is going to insult this girl, why are your clothes on this girl's bed?"

Liu Mu said, "That's why I saw that the girl was not fully clothed, so I took off the clothes and gave it to her."

The woman cried, "My lord, you have to make the decision for me, he... he just wanted to fuck me... If the lord doesn't make the decision for the little girl, the little girl would rather die to show her will."

Wen Siren said, "Don't worry, what I hate most is this kind of scoundrel who bullies women, and I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Liu Mu looked at Yu Wanran, with mixed feelings in his heart, "Wanran, they don't believe me, but you should believe me, how could I have something wrong with this girl. Someone really wanted to insult this girl just now." Liu Mu again He said to the woman, "Girl, please explain to them quickly, I just drove away the prostitutes and thieves who wanted to bully you for you."

Wen Siren sneered disdainfully, "It's just you who beat the prostitute and thief away? How funny."

Feng Langqu said, "Liu Mu, you are so insane that you killed Master Yu. You and Wanran were husband and wife. How can Master Yu be your father-in-law back then? You actually had the heart to kill him. Come, give me this madman!" Take it." Yu Wanran was pale and almost fainted, only to see Feng Langqu hugging him, to be precise, hugging him, "Wanran, don't worry, I will definitely bring this insane murderer to justice method." Although Yu Wanran wanted to push the other party away, but at this moment, she only felt a splitting headache and no strength left.

Wen Siren said, "Liu Mu was in a frenzy and murdered several people in Yu's house, and he wanted to do violence to the servant girl of Yu's house. Come, bring this madman to me, and hand him over to the yamen for interrogation at another day."
