Chapter 71 Xu Caihu Ji
At noon, Liu Yu walked home from the schoolyard and heard the latest progress circulating in the missing case of Xu Rong on the way.
Some say that Xu Rong was possessed by demons, and that Old Master Xu was looking for Taoist priests to open the altar; some say that Xu Rong's body was found outside the city, and only half of the body was left, as if it had been bitten by a wild dog and jackal... Liu Yu had to admire the imagination of the masses, and everyone could go to storytelling stories in vivid ways. Until he passed by the chess building and saw Han Sheng, Han Sheng also conveyed the emperor's instructions.
To put it bluntly, this instruction is summed up in four words, "hold the troops without moving." This is what Liu Yu had expected long ago. Although Xu Rong was a big fish, he was just a small shrimp compared to the larger shark. If the emperor wanted to do it, he would have moved last night. Before many fish floated to the surface, the emperor chose to continue investigating. Han Sheng also brought the situation of the Xu Rong case. Xu Han took Yang Yanqian's son and did not find it. Instead, he investigated the news that "Xu Rong's disappearance is related to the princes of various vassals" deliberately released by the Imperial Guard. Xu Han still wanted to hide it at first, but this time, the investigation used the yamen almost all over the city, and the wind still reached the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered the princes to close their doors to thank the guests in the mansions in the capital until the ceremony ended.
Liu Yuxin said that this was another way for the emperor to play. If the vassal kings were to close their doors to give their guests, they could reduce their connections with their ministers. Once the contact was not close, some ministers would not be able to sit still. However, the emperor had a more clever way and actually issued an order to investigate who was related to the ministers in the court, headed by Yang Yanqian, who was involved in this case. Although it was not said to be investigating traitors, the actual work done was the same as Han Sheng did secretly. One stone caused a thousand waves.
Liu Yu is not a stupid person. He knew that Xu Rong was a pioneer, but the one who was closely connected with the King of Huai was definitely his father Xu Han. Although Xu Han was young at that time, he was suppressed by the left prime minister Li Zhongchun. So he used the power of the King of Huai to eliminate the most political and enemy officials. And the "old bachelor" Yang Yanqian was his person, so it was only nine out of ten that he colluded with the King of Huai. If a group of people who were thieves investigated who was thieves, wouldn't he bit people like a mad dog?
Water was not messed up at first, but was disturbed by the old emperor.
Liu Yu returned to the general's mansion in front of the hall. Apart from the two guards guarding, there was no one at the door, but there was a burst of laughter from afar. The sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the Han sisters' small building. Liu Yu walked around the yard, and before he got close, he heard a lot of chattering sounds. A thick and silly sister was telling stories to the young sisters sitting down the Han sisters' small building. The Han sisters also pushed open the door and moved a stool and sat at the door and listened carefully:
"...I was so tired of carrying a hoe at that time. My mother didn't bring me food. The sun was drying. I just wanted to rest on the edge of the field. There was no movement when that guy came out. A strange wind blew, and I felt a chill behind my back. When I turned my head, I really scared me. A big tiger with white eyes. That guy... his eyes were so big..."
Xu Caihua gestured for a moment, which was bigger than the taillights of the car.
"Sister Caihua, your eyes are not that big, right? If your eyes are so big, your body is a few feet long?" Lu Chu'er raised objections based on the principle of seeking truth from facts.
"Who said it was not? That body was like a small valley. I couldn't see its big white forehead even if I looked up..."
Liu Yu really couldn't hear such an exaggerated story, so he walked forward and said embarrassedly: "That... interrupt, where are you generals?"
Seeing Liu Yu, a group of guards stood up and saluted respectfully and called "Son-in-law". Lu Chu'er said, "The general is studying the girl's red in the backyard."
"Study girl-red?" Liu Yu smiled. Xu Xuanzhu was used to taking the sword and when did he take the needle and thread? "You continue to tell the story of the... tiger-killing, Yier Tinger, come with me to see your sister Xuanzhu!"
Han Xiaoyi and Han Xiaoting obviously hadn't heard enough of Xu Caihua's story, and their faces were a little unhappy, but they still walked over with their hands. Lu Chu'er cheered: "Son-in-law, I heard you are quite knowledgeable, so let's tell us a story?"
“Tell a story?”
Liu Yu could have said it, but it was nothing more than a classic work. The Three Kingdoms and Water Margin cannot be said. The historical background is different. It is good to tell them about Jin Pingmei, but these little female soldiers are thinner in their faces. If something happens, it will be very bad. Could it be that when talking about Journey to the West? Liu Yu shivered unconsciously, and he felt that these little female soldiers were originally the kind of spider spirits reincarnated in Journey to the West, and were specialized in people.
"I won't tell any stories, let's talk about them when there is a story in the future."
Until Liu Yu took the Han sisters out of the yard, Xu Caihua could still hear from afar talk about his experience in fighting tigers, but the story was still entangled in the question of whether his eyes were so big or so big.
The Han sisters followed Liu Yu in a slight trepidation.
Since Liu Yu got married to Xu Xuanzhu, the Han sisters have become much more restrained. Although they have long foresaw the fate of losing their husbands' favor, they still feel a little uncomfortable when they suddenly come. Liu Yu tried to make them feel that they cared about them. More importantly, every time the Han sisters went to pay their respects to Xu Xuanzhu, Xu Xuanzhu would pull two little girls to say things for a long time, and he was very intimate. Xu Xuanzhu was also learning to be a competent elder sister.
However, the Han sisters were still not very grateful and a little hostile. They were also puzzled why this seemingly kind-hearted elder sister was not as fierce as those rumored by outsiders.
"I've been busy these days and I don't have time to take you out to play. How about taking you to Dacien Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha after lunch?" Liu Yu said when he saw the two little girls being depressed.
"Okay." The eyes of the two little girls were almost radiant at the same time.
"But you have to be obedient, don't run around, and don't be out of rules. This time I'm going with your sister Xuan Zhu."
When she heard that she was with Xu Xuanzhu, the two little girls became a little unhappy again. But Liu Yu couldn't let them go. They were originally going to spend the family day to enhance their relationship. This was Xu Xuanzhu's request. She also wanted to burn incense and pay the Buddha's gratitude to God for giving her a good husband, and also hoped to wish the family peace.
When he arrived at the room Lu Chuer pointed to in the backyard, Liu Yu pushed open the door. Xu Xuanzhu probably couldn't survive the needle and was unable to take the needle. He was shocked by the sudden sound of opening the door and stabbed his finger again.
"Husband? The two sisters... are all blamed for you, and you accidentally pierced your fingers." Xu Xuanzhu seemed to complain.
The woman who was the master Hong standing next to him was invited by Xu Xuanzhu from the Ministry of Rites. When he saw Liu Yu, he saluted first, and then said, "The two generals, it's getting late, and I'm going back. I'll teach General Xu the Yuanyang Needle Method another day."
Seeing the old woman leave, Liu Yu smiled and said, "Look, you are not good at needlework and threading, and even the master doesn't want to teach you."
Xu Xuanzhu seemed to be reluctant to give face to his two sisters, but Liu Yu said so, but she also understood that Liu Yu's painstaking efforts would increase the intimacy of the Han sisters when they saw her weak side. Liu Yu smiled again and said, "Yi'er, I heard your grandfather say that your acupuncture method is good, so I will teach you Sister Xuanzhu more in the future."
"Yes." Han Xiaoyi was still a little unable to let go, so she nodded, lowered her head but did not lift it up again.
Liu Yu was a little hungry, but unfortunately the kitchen was burned at home, so the food could only be bought from outside temporarily. Fortunately, Sui Yu was worried and asked someone to deliver it at noon every day, which was very sumptuous. The family was about to sit together and have a meal, but Xu Xuanzhu begged to talk about what happened on the battlefield that day, and Lu Chuer rushed into the door with a anxious look.
"There is no rule." Xu Xuanzhu put down his chopsticks and complained, "What happened?"
"General, son-in-law, something is wrong, there is a fight outside...." Lu Chu'er said with a bitter face.
Liu Yu glanced at Lu Chu'er and said, "Will you not persuade the fight when you fight? Who fought with whom?"
"If you want to persuade the fight, it depends on who it is. I don't know where someone came from. I was yelling at the door to see a gentleman. Sister Caihua said a few words and started fighting. Sister Caihua went up and swung the man up!"
"Swipe it up?" Liu Yu was shocked.
There was no time to eat, and the family rushed to the front yard. In the stunned eyes of a group of female soldiers and a few servants carrying gifts, Xu Caihua swung a playboy like a light cloth on her head. The man was obviously dizzy and could not even beg for mercy. It was Wang Hu.
