Chapter 155 A funeral for Meng Shiyu
Li Yulou smiled with a calm expression, "Shiyu will be fine."

Wen Tan naturally felt that Li Yulou was pretending to be strong, so he reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "You have to be more open."

Li Yulou smiled and nodded.Although Meng Shiyu didn't tell her why he created the illusion that he had been assassinated, someone must have assassinated him, so he followed suit, just like before they got married, King Yan sent someone to assassinate him. Acting like he was seriously injured was just for self-protection, and it was better to do things in secret.

So as long as she knew that Meng Shiyu was safe and sound, now was not the time to tell Wen Tan the truth.

"Then it's dangerous for you to go to Texas alone." Wen Tan looked at Li Yulou worriedly.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." Li Yulou said with a smile.

"Texas seems to be complicated and troublesome. I don't dare to promise you that I can help you. I will talk about it after I get to Texas and understand the situation with my father. But if you have anything to do, you can go to me. I will definitely help you if I can. .” Wen Tan said.

"Thank you, Wen Tan." Li Yulou sincerely thanked you.

Mr. Wen is now the chief soldier of Dezhou, holding soldiers and horses in his hands. If he can get his help at a critical moment, maybe he can turn decay into magic.

Li Yulou and Wen Tan went on the road together and walked together, their safety was greatly guaranteed because Master Wen sent a team to pick up his wife and children.

Showa Shiliulang basically took the same road with them, and they were not far from each other, but he didn't bother Li Yulou again.

After a few more days, they finally arrived at Dezhou Capital.

Dezhou has always been a bustling state capital, with an endless stream of merchants, many pedestrians on the street, and many shoppers on both sides.

Li Yulou found a place to stay and went to the state government office.

"Mrs. Meng..." Mr. Zhao, the deputy envoy of Ducha, was the official who came with Meng Shiyu this time.

He looked at Li Yulou sadly, "We are also very sad that such a thing happened. It is because we did not take good care of Mr. Meng."

"It has nothing to do with you..." Li Yulou's face was solemn, trying his best to show his peace.

"Mrs. Meng... my condolences!" Another fat middle-aged official walked in, his hair was about to fall out, and his hair was full of oil.

"Mrs. Meng, this is Mr. Han, the prefect of Dezhou." Mr. Zhao introduced.

"Master Han..." Li Yulou saluted slightly.

"Mrs. Meng is very polite. We are very sad that such a thing happened, but it has already happened. I have already presented to the court. I beg Your Majesty to reward Mr. Meng for such an upright and good official who sacrificed his life for the country."

Li Yulou thanked him, and then said, "I want to meet my husband..."

"Okay, this is what it should be, but the arrest is too fierce, we failed to protect Mr. Meng well..."

Li Yulou tried his best to show a calm mood.Under the leadership of the yamen servants, Mr. Han came to the morgue of the government office.

It was gloomy inside, and there was a disgusting smell wafting out.

Li Yulou didn't take it seriously, and followed the yamen servant in big strides.

Lord Zhao and Lord Han covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.

Although the corpse had been processed and wrapped in ice, it had been too long after all.

Li Yulou looked at the corpse whose face could not be seen clearly and tried to cry, but he couldn't cry.

She just stared straight at the poor man who had died.

After a long time, she looked at Mr. Han and said, "How does Mr. Han know that this is my husband..."

"I know Mrs. Meng can't accept it, but the corpse I brought back happened to be the corpse of the deceased, and everyone else could recognize it. Only this corpse was disfigured, and Master Meng disappeared..."

Master Han sighed, "Obviously the other party hates Master Meng to the core, otherwise how could he kill someone and disfigure him..."

"I will take my husband's body away," Li Yulou said.

"Okay, okay..." Mr. Han nodded, the yamen servant had complained to him several times, the corpse could not be preserved, and it would completely rot in a few days.

Li Yulou thanked him, and then began to deal with the funeral of the corpse.

After all, he had contributed to Meng Shiyu's hiding. After the body was carried out, she ordered Xiao Wu to call for a professional in this area to handle it.

She gave the other party a large sum of money, and everything was handed over to the other party.

"Miss, where did the young master go to make you do such a thing..." Chuntao muttered, after all, it was not very auspicious to arrange funeral affairs.

"The dead are the most important, don't say such things..." Li Yulou organized a grand funeral for this person, which caused a sensation in the entire Texas City.

"Master Meng is such a pity. I heard that Mrs. Meng is very young and beautiful. She is not yet twenty, so she will be a widow..."

"That's right, Mr. Meng is still the number one scholar, with outstanding literary talents, many people admire him... God is really jealous of talents..."

"Who doesn't know that Marquis Yong'an belongs to the king of Yan and the imperial concubine, so why dare to confront him head-on, hey..."

"Okay, don't say what you shouldn't say, just feel sorry for Mr. Meng... I heard that he looks like a banished fairy..."

Li Yulou also happened to be in the teahouse. It had been seven days since she came to Dezhou but Meng Shiyu hadn't appeared, so she was asked to perform a funeral.

Fortunately, most of the people who commented were sympathetic to Meng Shiyu... Moreover, both Meng Shiyu and the censor in front were related to Marquis Yong'an.

Li Yulou came out of the teahouse, got into the carriage and returned to the temporarily rented house.

It's fine to stay in a hotel for a day or two, but she obviously wants to stay for a while, so she asked Xiao Wu to rent a yard.

She got out of the carriage and was about to enter the yard when suddenly a big hand grabbed her waist.

Li Yulou turned to look at the person standing beside her, only to see that his face was fair, his lips were pink, his eyes were deep, and his face was as deep as water.

"Shi Yu..." Li Yulou's voice was timid, and his eyes were a little red.

Although she knew he was fine, she didn't feel at ease until she saw him.

What's more, it's a funeral these days, and this kind of thing itself is also depressing. Today I finally saw the person I wanted to see, and I felt a little sad for no reason.

"Well, tell me..." Meng Shiyu said softly.

"Where have you been?" Li Yulou asked.

Meng Shiyu hugged Li Yulou and walked into the courtyard, then asked Xiao Qi to close the courtyard door, and took advantage of the opportunity to kiss Li Yulou on the lips.

Little five, little seven...

They hurriedly turned around and jumped out of the yard by the way.

Chuntao didn't take it seriously, and continued to walk inside.

"Don't you like her, go and recite her..." Xiao Wu said helplessly looking at Chun Tao.

Xiaoqi had no choice but to go back to the yard and drag Chuntao out.

"Someone..." Li Yulou said shyly.

"Where is someone..." Meng Shiyu turned his head and said.

Li Yulou turned his head along with Meng Shiyu, and he couldn't see anyone behind him.

Meng Shiyu picked her up and whispered in her ear, "Sister... I miss you!"

"I miss you too, Brother Shiyu..." Li Yulou buried his cheek in Meng Shiyu's arms.

After some cloud and rain, Li Yulou lay in Meng Shiyu's arms and stretched out his fingers to pinch Meng Shiyu's flesh.

Meng Shiyu was in a little pain, but he could bear it.

"You said, I have been in Dezhou for seven or eight days, but you don't come to see me. Do you really miss me, or do you just say that you don't really miss me..." Li Yulou asked.

"Isn't my performance just now not obvious enough?" Meng Shiyu said as he tilted his head and kissed him again.

"Yes, yes...but that doesn't count..." Li Yulou moved his lips away to prevent Meng Shiyu from kissing him.

"I saw you in Dezhou just now, but I just watched from a distance..." Meng Shiyu said, "But this big drama has to go on, you see me like this, how can you play a parting of life and death? pain."

"What's more, I have a lot of things that I haven't investigated clearly. Basically, I have to do it at night, so it's not convenient for me to move when I'm with you."

"Then you found a clue when you came to see me today?" When it came to business, Li Yulou immediately became interested and looked at Meng Shiyu curiously.

"Well," Meng Shiyu said, "I found some clues, but I don't have a firm clue yet. Will you help me tomorrow?"

"Do you need my help?" Li Yulou asked Meng Shiyu curiously.

"En!" Meng Shiyu nodded, "I think your acting skills are very good..."

"Then what can I do?" Li Yulou asked eagerly.

"We won't act until tomorrow morning. It's still early today, so don't worry, let's do something else first..." Meng Shiyu said, covering the two of them with the quilt.

Li Yulou laughed lightly.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Yulou dressed in plain clothes, pretending to be Meng Shiyu's widow.

"Is this okay? You sit here well, but I want to say that your... is dead. This will offend the gods." Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu and said.

"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I only believe in myself..." Meng Shiyu said.

Li Yulou still felt a little awkward, but in order to get down to business, she had to pull herself together.

What Meng Shiyu said was right, after meeting him, it was really not easy for her to enter the drama.

Li Yulou went out and went to the government office.

Master Han, the magistrate, and Master Zhao, the deputy envoy of the Ducha, frowned when they saw Li Yulou coming again.

It is said that people have been buried, even if there is something, it should be over, why is the government office coming again.

But the two adults still welcomed Li Yulou with smiles.By the way, a few pleasantries.

"Master Han, Master Zhao, my husband died wrongly, please give me justice and investigate the matter clearly..." Li Yulou looked at Master Han and said.

Master Han frowned, "Mrs. Meng, what do you mean?"

"We are also very saddened by Master Meng's death. However, he died because of the bandits he met. There is no way to find it, of course, we have sent people to look for it as much as possible, and contacted the surrounding states and counties, hoping that they can cooperate..."

"Master Han, my husband is not the only imperial envoy who has died in Dezhou. Do you think His Majesty will let this matter go unnoticed? Do you think this kind of excuse can fool me?" Li Yulou looked at Lord Han and Lord Zhao coldly. .

Mr. Han frowned and said, "Mrs. Meng, I can understand your feelings, but you must provide evidence. If you think Mr. Meng's death is strange, then wait for the new imperial envoy to investigate. Forgive me for not being able to help... ..."

"You are the officials who protect each other. You must know how my husband died. You must know that you killed him..."

Li Yulou pointed at Master Han and Master Zhao and cursed, "Every one of you has my husband's blood on your body, you must not be able to sleep well, when you dreamed back at midnight, you did something wrong, a ghost came to you ..."

Mr. Han was furious by Mr. Zhao, but as scholars, they couldn't scold Li Yulou.

Scholars can do those private things behind their backs, but they can't argue with a woman.

"Come here, take Mrs. Meng out, take her out..." Mr. Han shouted towards the door.

"You group of executioners, executioners..." Li Yulou shouted and was dragged out of the Yamen and thrown on the street.

Now that you've started scolding, let's have enough scolding.

Although she is beautiful, she is not gentle at all when scolding people.

A group of people gathered around the gate of the government office, listening to Li Yulou swearing.

"What's the matter?" A luxurious carriage passed by and asked in a light tone.

"Master Hou, it seems that the wife of the dead Mr. Meng is here to scold Mr. Magistrate, saying that they treat people's lives carelessly, that officials and officials protect each other, and that they are executioners..." the attendant replied.

Marquis Yong'an smiled, "It's not a family, if you don't enter a family, you're the same idiot, and you're still the number one scholar... Bah!"

Li Yulou didn't give up until he couldn't stop cursing. He returned to his residence and drank two big bowls of cold baikai to suppress the impetuousness in his heart.

She seized the opportunity today, it doesn't matter how harsh the scolding is, anyway, she is in the process of being sad, it is nothing more than an excessive sadness.

"How am I doing?" Li Yulou asked Meng Shiyu with a smile.

"Okay... sister, you are really good." Meng Shiyu gave her a thumbs up.

"It will be more convenient for us to do things this time." Meng Shiyu said, "I'm dead, you are an ignorant woman who only knows how to curse, who will take us seriously."

Li Yulou nodded in agreement.

"Then what do we do next?"

"What do you want to do?" Meng Shiyu asked.

Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu's clear eyes, his cheeks turned red, and he lowered his eyes shyly, "No way..."

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Meng Shiyu looked surprised.

Li Yulou was so angry that he was tricked again, "Stop for me..."

The two quarreled for a while, and Meng Shiyu kissed her, "You stay here first, I'll take you out tonight, I've prepared a set of men's clothes for you, change them in advance..."

Want to change into men's clothing?
Li Yulou became more and more excited, wondering what would greet her at night?
She was full of anticipation.

At night, when Meng Shiyu appeared, she almost scared her to death.

"Xie Jianzhang..." Li Yulou stared at the person in front of him dumbfounded.

"You, why are you here..."

Li Yulou saw Xie Jianzhang standing in front of him.

"It's me!" Meng Shiyu spoke.

The voice was that of Meng Shiyu, but the face was that of Xie Jianzhang.

She hasn't seen Xie Jianzhang for a long time.

"Shiyu, why are you wearing such a mask? You don't know that he is a nightmare to me. Did you do it on purpose, to make me hate you." Li Yulou was full of anger.
