Destiny Only Han

"what's up?"

Faced with Liu Ying's question, Qi Menlang's face flashed with compassion.

"Jiangxia County has confirmed that the victims were the missing boatmen from Shijie Village!"

Liu Bang, who was gnawing on the lamb chops, was stunned. He could already imagine what the county government would be like at this moment.

It is said that people will gradually become numb after they get used to life and death, but the older he is, the richer his feelings are.

In the next second, the old man's eyes involuntarily became watery.

Liu Qi cupped his hands and said: "I would like to ask Ying to thoroughly investigate this case, and give justice to the families of the victims!"

Liu Ying asked: "Are you going to do it yourself? Could it be that you don't trust the officials of Jiangxia County?"

Liu Qi was silent for a while and did not speak.

Liu Bang knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks: "Just relying on that bullshit official in the county government? This means that you have collected a lot of property and food from overseas, so that the people can eat cheap food and wear cheap clothes!"

"Otherwise, Nai Gong dares to assert that if the world changes at this moment, this place will definitely become the second Daze Township!"

Liu Ying shook her head: "It's not that... Dad, you are absolutely alarmist."

Liu Bang snorted, but said nothing.

Liu Ying turned to look at Qi Menlang who was waiting at the side: "Where is Mrs. Ruan now?"

Liu Le frowned: "Brother, are you still human? A man just died, so how can I answer your words!"

Liu Jiao and Liu Jia thought the same way, but they were separated from Liu Ying and dared not speak out.

Liu Ying said seriously: "I have an intuition that the boatmen who died in Shijie Village must be participants in the attack on the Jiangshui Bridge! Have you forgotten why we left Chang'an and came to Nanjun?"

Liu Le was stunned, Doudou's eyes widened.

Liu Jia suddenly changed his mind.

He said loudly, "I'll send someone to find her!"

After all, his son is the suspect in this case. If he can't obtain a confession to exonerate him, even if the matter is finally settled, Liu Rui may not have the chance to inherit the country of Jing!

He will never agree to this matter!
He had a very deep relationship with his wife, but unfortunately, his wife died early. Therefore, even though he now has a group of wives and concubines and gave birth to more than a dozen children in a row, Liu Rui has a transcendent status in his heart. He is the only heir who will never make the slightest change!
Without him, Liu Rui is the only bloodline left by the woman he loved so much!
It is no exaggeration to say that if possible, he would not hesitate to trade his own life for Liu Rui's!
But upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Qi Menlang cupped his hands and said, "Don't bother King Jing to go in person, the humble official has already brought that woman here!"

Liu Ying nodded slightly, and immediately saw a group of timid village women appearing at the door.

Those are Ruan and other Shijie village women.

Zhang Buyi stood up, walked in front of the shopkeeper and the waiter who were full of doubts, and put out five 'Dangbai' silver coins: "Go and watch at the door, don't let people come in, these are compensations, you don't want to open again today. "

For a moment, the two people were overjoyed and thankful.

Their shop is located on the wharf, mainly to provide meals for the dock workers, and occasionally receive foreign merchants such as Liu Ying.

Just like what the waiter in the shop said, small profits but quick turnover.

For example, those dock workers eat plain noodles without adding anything, a bowl is only sold for 1 cents, and a "dangbai" silver coin can be exchanged for 100 one-yuan steel coins, equivalent to 30 million banknotes, and five silver coins At least equal to the boss's income from selling [-] bowls of noodles!
Well, no.

These silver coins also included the mutton that Liu Ying and others had just eaten...

But no matter what, judging from the boss's fear that Zhang Buyu would regret it, he made a lot of money!

So, when a group of village women with apprehensive faces walked in, Liu Ying turned her head and said, "Don't be too busy resting, let the back kitchen make some lamb noodle soup and bring it up, put more meat!"

Ruan Shi and others secretly looked at Liu Ying, wanting to say something, but in the end they just lowered their heads and wiped their tears.

Their husband just died!

The important thing is that before they could cry, they were 'invited' from the county government office to the pier by a few vicious men!
Now that they were treated tenderly, they cried even more.

Liu Ying didn't rush her, she just waited for Ruan to finish the noodles with runny nose and tears, and then asked: "What's your husband's name?"

Ruan lowered her head: "My husband's surname is Ruan, and he is the second in the family, so he is called Ruan Zhong."

Liu Ying asked again: "Do you know why he wanted to blow up the river bridge?"

Ruan's eyes widened suddenly: "I'm wronged! My beloved is usually the most honest, how could he do such a thing?"

Beside her, those women also called out their grievances.

But Liu Ying keenly noticed that one of the women seemed to be dodging.

"Which one are you?"

"Could this gentleman be called Nujia?"

"That's right, it's you. Who are you? What's your husband's name?"

Perhaps Liu Ying's eyes were too sharp, and the woman shrank her neck in fright and did not speak.

Ruan said: "That's Mrs. Hua. She has no surname, but only a Chinese character, so she is called Mrs. Hua. Her husband is the eldest son of Zhengchao in this village, who is the descendant of the former Chu clan!"

As she spoke, her face showed a sense of pride.

After all, she specifically pointed out that Chao's eldest son was from the former Chu clan, in order to explain to Liu Ying that they are outstanding people in Shijie Village, and they don't want to be underestimated!

These are the only dignity they have left along the way!
Liu Ying didn't pick up the words, nor did she sneer, she just asked: "Then do you know why Chao Changzi and others were killed in the wilderness? Also, there was a box of gold left at the scene..."

"What? There's another box of gold?" Mrs. Hua's eyes widened, and she immediately covered her mouth hard.

Liu Ying smiled: "Anything else? Interesting, really interesting... Do you want to talk about it here? Or in the lobby of the county government office? At that time, instead of eating mutton noodles, you will eat sticks and irons! "

Ruan Shi and the others also stared: "What gold? Sister Hua, tell me!"

Aunt Hua looked at the vicious men who 'invited' her here, and couldn't help shivering.

After all, that group of people broke into the county office directly at that time, and they didn't know what they were holding to light up. Those high-spirited county officials didn't even dare to breathe, and let the other party bring themselves and others here ...

Therefore, she instinctively felt that Liu Ying was not trying to scare her.

So, Mrs. Hua stammered: "It was more than a month ago. Chao's eldest son went home in a boat and brought back two very well-dressed men. They were muttering in the room for a long time. Waiting until then After the two men left, I saw Chao’s eldest son secretly hiding a few pieces of gold under the bed..."

"Then a few days later, he dug a hole behind the dog pen and buried a whole box of gold in it!"

"I asked him where the gold came from, but he didn't say anything. He just said that he wanted me to take good care of the money. After a while, the whole family moved to Chang'an to buy a house and set up two shops, so that the second and third children could learn. Come on, the eldest son can have a decent job and marry a good wife..."

Liu Ying asked: "Do you know those two men?"

Mrs. Hua shook her head.

Zhang Buyi scolded: "Lie! You are blinking frequently, which means that you know who they are in your heart, but you choose to lie to us!"

Sister-in-law Hua suddenly panicked and waved her hands in a hurry: "I, I don't, really..."

Zhang Buyi didn't speak, but his eyes were cold and oppressive.

After a while, Aunt Hua wept with a mournful face: "I, I can't say it, if I say it, the lives of the whole family will be lost..."

Liu Ying shook her head:
"Do you know the crime of the main culprit in the Jiangshui Bridge attack?"

"Three tribes of Yi!"

"What are the three Yi tribes?"

"To put it simply, it is to kill your whole family, the whole family of Chao's eldest son, brother and younger brother, as well as your parents, brothers and whole family!"

"If you tell the truth, and the main culprit is punished, your whole family will naturally survive. If you don't tell the truth, not only Chao's eldest son, but all the participants will all want to kill the three clans of barbarians!"

In an instant, not only Mrs. Hua, but Ruan Shi and the others also stared wide-eyed and trembled.

Liu Bang turned his head and said nothing, holding his chin to keep himself from laughing out loud.

But this time he misunderstood Liu Ying a little.

What Liu Ying said was not joking or bluffing them.

In feudal dynasties, the laws were formulated by the monarch, and it was said that they were just ordinary people. Even the nobles in the palace, such as Liu Ying, an emperor with great power, would kill as soon as he said it!

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed cruel officials to kill powerful people, hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of common people were killed, and the number of prime ministers killed could not be counted on one hand.

Therefore, in the face of Liu Ying's expressionless murderous look, Mrs. Hua turned her heart and said loudly: "It's the Jiangshui Boatmen's Guild! After the Jiangshui Bridge is built, the Boatmen's Guild will not be able to control all the piers to profit from it, so They found Chao Changzi and asked him to take someone to blow up the bridge!"

After Mrs. Hua finished speaking, she gasped hard and looked at Zhang Buyi with a provocative look in her eyes.

After all, in her opinion, anyone who dares to mess with the boatmen's guild is doomed!

Not only those who dare to provoke the boatmen's guild will die, but even those who hear the news will die!
But Zhang Buyi ignored it, and just looked at Liu Le, who was full of admiration, complacently.

At this time, a popping sound suddenly came from the restaurant.

Liu Ying turned her head subconsciously, and saw the waiter sitting on the ground, his face was ashen.

Obviously, he was hiding there and eavesdropping just now...

The next second, those Qimenmen also turned pale.

They didn't find the waiter, if the one hiding there was not the waiter but an assassin, the consequences would be disastrous!
After all, if Liu Ying is attacked, they will also wait for the Yi tribe!

So they became furious.

The two closest people rushed to the waiter in three steps and two steps, carried him in front of Liu Ying like a chicken cub, threw him heavily on the ground, and immediately fell to their knees: "I'm waiting for the guards to be weak, and I ask the master to punish you!" !"

Well, Liu Ying is currently in a private interview on Weibo.

"If that's the case, then fine your salary for half a year." Liu Ying said lightly, looking at the shivering waiter in the shop: "Is the boatmen's guild very powerful? Why do you scare you like this?"

After a while, the waiter finally calmed down: "Is that very powerful? That's quite powerful! Although the boatmen's guild is called the boatmen's guild, most of the Lifu on the pier are members of the guild , pay the membership fee every month in exchange for the protection of the guild!"

Liu Ying asked curiously, "What kind of asylum law?"

The shop clerk stammered with fear on his face, "The guild has thugs. If someone who does not join the guild comes to carry work on the pier, he will be beaten severely. Put a stone on it and throw it into the river to feed the fish!"

Liu Ying frowned: "Is this also called asylum?"

The shop waiter replied: "Why aren't they called asylums? Those foreign Lifu are ignorant and desperately bargaining. Maybe it will make it difficult for everyone to support their families! Lifu has no money, who will come to our small shop to eat and drink?"
