Master in charge of the case: Our county magistrate has a black belly

Chapter 297 The Death of Liu Yuan
Liu Yuan nodded, "Don't cry, by the way, why did you come to such a place?"

Feng Yue said slowly, "I was separated from my mother when I fled that year, and I started wandering. Who knew that I met two swindlers, and I was fooled when I was young. They tricked me into finding my mother and going to the capital. Who knows They sold me into Huamanlou, I was tortured and scolded, played and sang, drank, forced to smile all day long, facing the pack of vicious wolves, I endured humiliation, lived like a year, and sometimes wanted to die, But when I thought of my mother again, I began to hesitate again. I searched for her whereabouts for several years, but it was like a kite with a broken string, and there was no news at all."

Liu Yuan comforted, "Yue'er, don't be sad, I will accompany you to find your mother when the time comes."

Feng Yue wiped away tears, "By the way, Brother Yuan, why are you here?"

"My father and I fled to the capital. Who knew that my father became ill and passed away. Later, he recognized his adoptive father and bought old man. I worked from morning to night to sell oil."

"Brother Yuan, since you are in a small business, why do you spend money here?"

"That day, I was selling oil in the back alley, and I happened to see you. I saw that you looked like a child, and I was afraid of admitting my mistake. It was ridiculous. I heard that you are famous as an oiran, so I wanted to see you and ask how you are doing, Hua. I said I need 20 taels to see you. I saved money for a year and saved 20 taels. I finally saw you that day, but you were drunk, and I waited until dawn. If not, you will die today, I’m afraid It will be even more difficult to see you." Liu Yuan said.

After Feng Yue listened to it, he felt an uncontrollable joy and excitement in his heart. This is seeing the truth in adversity. Feng Yue knew that Liu Yuan would always treat him with true affection, which made Feng Yue's silent heart beat even more. Liu Yuan wanted to tell him what was in his heart, but looked at Liu Yuan and couldn't speak.

Seeing Feng Yue's hesitant expression, Liu Yuan asked, "Yue'er, what's the matter?"

Feng Yue rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "How many glasses of wine did Brother Yuan drink?"

"Two glasses of wine."

"Do you know what two glasses of wine mean?"

"I don't know." Liu Yuan shook his head.

Feng Yue said, "Two glasses of wine means concentric wine."

"Concentric wine?"

"Yeah, concentric wine, double cups, Yue'er only loves Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, don't blame me for speaking too impulsively, listen to what I have to say. Ever since I came here, I have wanted to go out. I don't want those princes and grandchildren. You don’t have to think about the drunkards, I’ve been thinking about it day and night, today, I’m finally waiting for you, Brother Yuan.”

"Yueer."

"As long as you don't dislike it, I am willing to grow old with you forever."

"Yueer." Liu Yuan sighed, "Yueer, I have fallen in love with you a long time ago."

"Really?"

Liu Yuan nodded, "I have only played with you since I was a child. I just don't want others to snatch you away. In fact, I have been looking for your whereabouts since I was separated, but there is no news."

"Brother Yuan."

Liu Yuan grabbed Feng Yue's hand and shook his head, "Although I know your affection, but now that I'm penniless, I don't have the money to redeem you."

Feng Yue said, "Brother Yuan, you don't have to worry about this, I have saved a lot of silver taels all these years to wait for this day, a full 2000 taels, don't worry, brother Yuan."

"Yue'er, you are used to living in a big house, you will only suffer hardships if you follow me."

"This house is like a cage." Feng Yue laughed at himself, "I wish I could escape from here, Brother Yuan, where you are, I think everything is good."

Liu Yuan hugged Feng Yue, "Yue'er, I will never let you down."

"Brother Yuan." Feng Yue wept in Liu Yuan's arms and the corners of his eyes were wet.

Feng Yue took out 2000 taels of silver from the treasure chest, "I won't be taking guests anymore, Brother Yuan, you should redeem me earlier."

Liu Yuan took the money and nodded, "Don't worry, I will redeem you as soon as possible."

****************************
From that day on, Feng Yue shied away from being sick, and refused to accept guests even after saying nothing.

Mother Hua was so worried that her hair turned white, all the guests came and went to see Feng Yue, why was she so ill?
Mama Hua invited a doctor, but Feng Yue refused them all. Mama Hua felt that something was wrong, and threatened and lured Liuli, the maid beside Fengyue, but Liuli didn't say anything about beating her to death.

When Mama Hua was helpless, Cuiyu and Miaoren told Mama Hua about the matter. Cuiyu and Miaoren had always been jealous of Fengyue, why should a man be the oiran, but they had to admit Fengyue's beauty.

That day, Cuiyu and Miaoren heard the matter clearly from the corner of the wall. At first they thought it would be good for Feng Yue to leave, but when they thought about how Mother Hua would let Feng Yue leave, if they told Mother Hua about this matter, Mother Hua also accepted a favor from them, maybe she would praise them and make them become oirans or something.

Therefore, the two of them told Mother Hua all about the matter, and Mother Hua knew the inside story of the matter.

Mother Hua rubbed the handkerchief angrily, she absolutely must not let this poor ghost take Feng Yue away.

After saying that, Mother Hua went to find Liu Yuan alone. It happened that only Liu Yuan was at home that day. Mother Hua said whatever she wanted, but she didn't try to persuade Liu Yuan, so she stamped her feet and left in a fit of anger.

As soon as Mama Hua returned, several people asked for Feng Yue by name, Mama Hua was still angry and said something casually. "Feng Yue is going to be ransomed by a poor boy who sells oil, and he won't accept customers from now on."

"Redemption?"

"Yes, I will come to redeem people tomorrow, and there will be no Feng Yue in the future." Mama Hua sighed.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Feng Yue is Huamanlou's top card, and naturally there are not a few people who like him.

Guo Xiao and Song Tao sent people to block Liu Yuan and took them to a dark back alley, but they were seen by the Seventh Prince and Si Bei Le. Although these two people are not people who fight against injustice, they are also people who like to join in the fun. Just watching a play on the sidelines.

Guo Xiao and Song Tao wanted to please the two of them, and said, "Seventh Prince, Fourth Baylor, do you know what he is here for?"

The Seventh Prince rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Aside from looking for women, what else can I do?"

"That's right." Si Baylor echoed.

Guo Xiao pretended to be mysterious and said, "He didn't come to find a woman, he came to find a man, and he wanted to redeem him."

"What's the point? There are so many young ladies with flowers all over the building." The Seventh Prince still dismissed it.

"But he came to redeem Fengyue." Guo Xiao looked at the surprised Seventh Prince and Sibeile and smiled triumphantly.

"Didn't Feng Yue not allow people to redeem him?" said the Seventh Prince.

"But he let this kid redeem himself." Song Tao pointed to the half-dead Liu Yuan who had been beaten.

The Seventh Prince was even more disdainful, "How dare a poor boy come to redeem Fengyue?"

"One is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer."

The Seventh Prince rolled his eyes, "Why are you telling us this?"

Guo Xiao smiled wickedly, "Seventh Prince, this kid dares to redeem Fengyue, and Seventh Prince Sibei Le, he deserves to die."

Sibeile waved his hand, "Forget it if you kill him."

"But beating someone to death is a crime," Guo Xiao said.

The Seventh Prince snorted coldly, "With me here, who dares to catch me."

"Yes, yes." Guo Xiao nodded.

"Come here, beat me hard."

Guo Xiao waved his hand, "I don't need the prince to do anything, come and call me, the prince is here, don't be afraid."

"Yes." As soon as his subordinates heard the order, they began to act unscrupulously.

Liu Yuan was single and weak, and had no power to fight back. He just held onto the bag of silver tightly in his hand. He was going to redeem Yue'er, and slowly, slowly, he lost consciousness.

"Young master, I was killed. There is still a bag of silver." The subordinate handed the silver to Guo Xiao.

Guo Xiao immediately presented it to the seventh prince, "My lord, this is yours."

"You brat." The Seventh Prince sneered, "Forget it, let's use it as the cost of tonight, let's go drink."

"Yes, yes." Guo Xiao Songtao went to Huamanlou with the Seventh Prince and Sibeile for entertainment.

**************
Feng Yue waited for several days but there was no news, Feng Yue's heart was like a stone hanging on the water, unable to sink.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good." Liuli didn't care to drink water and immediately ran to Feng Yue, "It's not good."

Feng Yue was worried and asked Liuli to check on Liu Yuan's situation. Who knew she hadn't come back all morning, and when she came back, she was still in such a panic. Feng Yue felt a sense of fear in his heart, a little scared, "What's wrong, tell me .”

Liuli looked at Feng Yue, and said with difficulty, "Mr. Liu, he."

"What happened to him?" Feng Yue was anxious.

"he died."

Feng Yue denied it flatly, "Impossible, he was fine a few days ago."

"Really, when I found Mr. Liu's house, there was a white banner hanging in Mr. Liu's house. I heard that Mr. Liu was beaten to death and thrown in the back alley."

"Impossible, impossible, impossible."

Liu Li looked at Feng Yue who was in a trance with empty eyes and was a little worried, "Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?"

"Impossible, impossible." However, Feng Yue seemed not to hear, just repeating these three words.
