Chapter 106 I'm free from all the storms in the city

I went to the women's prison to see it. The situation was more serious than Liu Yu thought. Because the incident happened suddenly, Sui Yi and Chai Jin came to the scene with more than 20 yamen servants, plus the prison head and prisoners in the cell, there were thirty or forty insiders. It was difficult to ensure that no one of them colluded with Xingqinghui, and it was difficult to suppress the news.

The perpetrator, that is, the rotating prison heads and prison guards of the women's prison, were tied up and knelt on the ground, shouting injustice. Because these days, men are also men in charge of the women's prison, and the female prisoners who are detained here are all serious prisoners who have at least been sentenced to imprisonment. They have a low status and it is difficult to prevent the occurrence of violations.

"The raped woman committed suicide by being ashamed and angry, and it is not too much to convict him of death. How can he be wronged?"

Liu Yu's cold words made all the perpetrators kowtow and admit their mistakes and beg for mercy. Sui Yi looked nervous, obviously not expecting that the matter would develop beyond expectations, and asked: "Brother Liu, can you tell me how to deal with it?"

"There is nothing to worry about, so the court has made up its mind to attack Xingqinghui. It is a situation where there is no way out. Whether this happens or not will not change at all. However, if this incident is reported, the people of Xingqinghui will be united. It is best to suspend the people present and isolate the news first, and the spread of the news is strictly prohibited!"

Sui Yi nodded to show his understanding and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to do things. It is very difficult to isolate and self-inspection. Let the yamen watch the yamen. Once someone wants to release the news, it will not be able to suppress it.

Liu Yu reminded again: "The most urgent thing now is to interrogate Zhou Chong and his group, and find out the den to eradicate Xingqinghui with the power of thunder."

After leaving the female prison, Liu Yu felt more and more dangerous, especially Yuelaiju where the incident happened. Liu Yu ordered Yang Lie: "Brother Yang, please come and go to Yuelaiju to bring his female shopkeeper Miss Sui to our mansion to make a decision."

Yang Lie smiled and said, "General Liu You is really a lover. My subordinates admire him, admire him."

Liu Yu ignored his almost catchphrase compliments and asked him to take two guards to hurry. When Liu Yu returned to the Imperial Army Office, Yang Lie also happened to come back, and he said with lingering fear: "It's still Commander Liu You who has the foresight. As soon as we brought Miss Sui out, a group of people came to Yuelaiju to smash it, and arrogantly shouted that he wanted to invite Miss Sui back for tea. We were few and didn't dare to do it."

"Then is Miss Sui safe now?"

Yang Lie nodded and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates have sent Miss Sui to the mansion safely and have also informed Jingzhao Mansion to let the two Jingzhao Mansion's young men pay attention to their own safety."

Liu Yu didn't expect that Yang Lie not only likes to flatter, but also has high efficiency in his work. He did things properly with such a good time. When Liu Yu learned that something happened in Yuelaiju, he knew that the news had been leaked and Xingqinghui had revenge. They would soon investigate the Sui family from Yuelaiju, and even the young Yin and the yamen chiefs of the Jingfu were not spared. They just didn't know if they would find out the General's Mansion in front of his palace, but Sui Yu came to the door, so his wife would be cautious and prepared.

After that, news came continuously, and Xingqinghui made a turmoil all over the city. The homes of those prisoners who committed the crime were damaged by others, and many people were killed and injured. Xingqinghui even vented his anger on the chariot and horse gangs, and even the stalls of the chariot and horse gangs were not spared.

Liu Yu was in the hall and handed over the work of sorting out the copywriting to his subordinates. He left the work early and returned home with Yang Lie and other guards. Everything at home was stable. It was Cai Yingnu's turn to guard the gate, and they were all heroic and prepared.

"Brother Yang, I'm working hard." Liu Yu smiled, "You and your brothers should be careful. Although the people from Xingqinghui may not find out our identities, we should still be careful."

It is rare that Liu Yu had changed his words to call him "Brother Yang". Yang Lie was also quite excited and took people back after saying goodbye.

The front guard of the mansion was very tight. When he entered the house, he felt that the defense inside was a little loose. Before he could enter the main hall, he heard Lu Chu'er's "Wow" cry. When he entered the door, he realized that they were choosing cloth. There were colorful cloths on the table, some of which were excellent silk. Xu Xuanzhu, the Han sisters and Sui Yu were all there, and even Lu Chu'er was rushing to choose to make clothes.

"Thank you for General Liu's favor for saving you." Seeing Liu Yu come back, Sui Yu stepped forward and bowed to Tingting and thanked her.

Liu Yu smiled ashamed and said, "If it weren't for being reckless today, Yuelaiju might not have suffered any disaster. But Miss Sui has not been relieved. The court has ordered the Six Defense Departments in the City to work with Jingzhao Mansion to eliminate Xingqinghui. You can go back to Yuelaiju to continue your business soon."

Xu Xuan was also thoughtful in building things. He had prepared a guest room and clothes and daily necessities for Sui Yu to change the house and her daughter's house. Before the Xingqing meeting was eradicated, Sui Yu's meeting temporarily stayed here. Yang Lie informed Sui Yi of the matter.

"With Miss Sui here, I can finally enjoy my food."

Xu Xuanzhu wanted to reward the female guards in the mansion and promised to make a set of clothes for each person. Of course, she and the Han sisters were indispensable. The women in the mansion were very interested. After all, Xu Xuanzhu bought all the best fabrics, and such a dress could support half a month's salary. The women were very interested in choosing fabrics, so Liu Yu seemed bored. He wanted to go to the study to read a review book, but he saw Xu Caihua bringing a group of female guards into the courtyard.

"General, I'm bringing someone!" Xu Caihua yelled when she entered the yard. When she saw Liu Yu, she smiled, "My son-in-law is back, I'll give her a greeting to her."

Xu Xuanzhu came out after hearing the sound. After she explained that Liu Yu realized that because he was worried that the mansion was not under guard, he asked someone to go outside the city to inform Xu Caihua, who was responsible for the selection and training of soldiers. This time, Xu Xuanzhu brought hundreds of personal guards back to the capital, and it was also in line with the military rules to transfer a few more people in. In this way, the general's mansion in front of the palace had to clean up a lot of rooms to live in.

Liu Yu sighed: "It seems that we need to build a few more thatched houses for women."

Xu Xuanzhu smiled and gave Liu Yu a blank look, and went to the residence of the newly arrived female guards. More than 40 more people were added, so they could only set up temporary tents in the backyard. After all, these female guards were used to living in tents all year round.

The problem of residence was solved, and there were still daily necessities to be solved. The female soldiers took all the clothes they had with them. Xu Xuanzhu asked someone to buy a batch of them on the street and bought them back in batches of underwear from his daughter's house. In the past, only brothels could do this.

The other problems are almost the same, and the most important thing is to solve the problem of eating three meals. There are more people, and the originally newly built kitchen is not enough, so you should not be hungry before temporarily building a kitchen.

As soon as Liu Yu made a brilliant plan, he asked someone to go to the market to buy live sheep and live poultry. A bunch of bonfires were formed in the yard. The female guards and maids sat around the campfire for barbecue. Originally, Liu Yu wanted to invite the butcher, but Xu Caihua grinned and rushed towards the chicken and sheep with a knife. Liu Yu saw that she was skilled in slaughtering chicken and sheep, and felt a secret in her heart. This violent woman not only slaughtered people happily, but she was also familiar with slaughtering animals.

"When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog from the next village. I turned around and found a knife to slaughter it. The meat was so fragrant."

As night fell, the bonfire party officially began. The Han sisters sat on one side of Liu Yu hugged their knees and smiled, while Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu were on the other side. The party meals not only included a hot barbecue, but also stewed broth and vegetable hotpot to remove the heat. Each person could eat it without limit. Liu Yu cut the chicken wings separately and skewed them into a skewer. The roasting process was covered with salt and sauce, and also seasoned with "Persian pepper", that is, cumin, to taste, which was completely the same as the barbecue he had eaten in the past.

"Come on, try it!"

Liu Yu distributed the roasted chicken wings to the women around him. They all ate them one by one and felt that they were extremely delicious. No one expected that Liu Yu's barbecue time was first-class, which was due to his frequent picnics and camping in the past.

Han Xiaoting asked while eating, "Young Master, why do you want to roast the chicken wings alone?"

"Is it delicious?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.

Han Xiaoting nodded hurriedly.

Xu Caihua, who was sitting opposite the bonfire, held a whole chicken and said, "What's the good thing about chicken wings? I don't have some meat except bones. I like the chicken's butt, it smells good!" As he said that, he bit it and his mouth was covered in oil.

The bonfire party not only has barbecue, but also has fun programs. They are all girls who are young and unmarried, from all over the world, and almost everyone can sing some minor tunes from their hometowns. With Liu Yu's encouragement, many girls stood up and sang one or two songs, which was not only pleasant to the ears, but also aroused the homesickness of girls from fellow villagers.

Being moved by this emotion, Liu Yu also got up and sang a song. Those pop music were obviously not suitable for singing here. He felt heavy in a moment of thought. He remembered the melodious song of the Cantonese opera "The Emperor's Flower" and sang it with a heavy northern accent. Liu Yu's voice was good, and the sadness of the tune could easily resonate with the girls' homesickness. After the song, many girls had tears in the corners of their eyes.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Since you are all here, I, and you generals, will treat you as a family. If you have any needs, just say that your brothers and sisters will take care of you outside."

The campfire party lasted until late at night, and some of them fell asleep when they were sleepy. The Han sisters even fell asleep early on against Liu Yu's legs. It was early summer and they didn't feel it was too cold. Liu Yu still asked Xu Caihua, who had excessive energy, to bring a few people to get blankets to cover each other. Who knew that the weather was cold in the middle of the night, and many sleeping girls were in the open to serve the wind and cold. The next day, Xu Xuanzhu was busy looking for someone to grab medicine and buy medicine and decoct medicine, and he also had to find someone to cover the kitchen. He had no time to spare until noon.
