Wei Wuhou

Chapter 390: Time to Depart 3
(Thanks for the monthly ticket of "Boundless Falling Trees", and there are monthly tickets, don't begrudge it!)
The Liu family is a family that has declined, and the current head of the family is only the deputy prime minister in the Dasinong's yamen, which is a little worse than the Cao family.

In the past few days, Liu De, the head of the Liu family, has been a little anxious.

As a noble family that has been downgraded to a small family of doctors, no matter how glorious history it had in the past, now it can only take turns to be a vassal and do some unavoidable things.

At this time, what makes Liu De restless is that the Liu San he sent has not heard from him until now, even if he is dead.

Originally, Liu De didn't want to get involved in the matter between the aristocratic family and Wei Wuji, he just wanted to talk about his family's return to the top.

But those big clans gave him these tasks, leaving him no choice, and refusing would mean death.

At this time, Liu De stayed in his study, and asked the steward beside him, "Is there still no news about Liu San? No body?"

The steward replied: "Patriarch, Liu San and the others... must have been taken away by Mr. Wuji!"

Liu De couldn't help smiling wryly, how could he not know about this, but what's the use of knowing?The key lies in whether Liu San will say anything after being arrested, and what will be the consequences.

If Liu San's body is found now, it would actually be a good thing for Liu De, at least it means that the matter is over.

But it was this lack of news that made Liu De truly uneasy, uneasy about the unknown.

In particular, Liu De knew that the young man he provoked was definitely not a good talker, so he was even more terrified.

Although there are many books in the study room, Liu De can't read any of them at this time. His suffering is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Just at this matter, someone from outside came to report: "Patriarch, Liu San is back..."

Upon hearing this, Liu De immediately stood up and looked at the servant who rushed into the study.

The steward standing beside him asked, "What's going on? Where is he now?"

The servant fell to his knees and said: "Report to Patriarch, Liu San is now outside the gate of the mansion!"

"Let him come in quickly, the Patriarch has something to ask him!" The steward also said at the same time, and at the same time secretly scolded the slave for being ignorant.

But at this time, the servant had an ugly expression and said: "Patriarch, Liu San... I'm afraid I can't come in, I'm afraid you have to go out and have a look!"

"Bastard..." The manager of the Liu residence was about to start scolding, but Liu De who was beside him stopped him.

"Go out and have a look..." Liu De walked out directly, at this moment he was really anxious.

So, they rushed out, and when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they found that many people had already gathered there.

Of course, they were all members of the Liu family, including Liu De's sons.

"Get out of the way, the Patriarch is here..." the manager of the Liu family scolded.

So these servants quickly moved out of the way, allowing Liu De to immediately see the bloody scene outside.I saw a bloody basket beside a man covered in blood.

Liu De's heart jumped, he knew that something might be wrong, so he scolded: "Everyone who has nothing to do with it, step down!"

After the Patriarch spoke, the servants immediately turned around and left, doing whatever they should be busy with.

However, Liu De's three sons did not leave with them, and Liu De did not intend to let them leave. There are some things that his son needs to know.

Liu De couldn't help walking forward, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The blood-stained man raised his head involuntarily, but it was Liu San who had just come out from Wei Wuji's place. At this moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "Patriarch, it's me..."

Liu De's face sank, and he asked, "Why did you come back alone? What happened to the others?"

Liu San couldn't help laughing, and after glancing at the box beside him, he said: "The others... are all here..."

These words made Liu De's heart sink, and then he winked at the steward at the side, and the latter hurried down to lift the white cloth on the frame.

Good guy...a basket full of human heads was packed in it, even Liu De, who had experienced the storm, was scared back two steps, let alone his sons.

To sum it up in one word is... Miserable, all the people I sent died there, how can Liu De not be afraid of this.

"Patriarch, they still have something to bring to you!" Liu San's voice sounded again, bringing Liu De back to reality.

Liu De asked, "What are you talking about?"

After Liu San knelt on the ground with difficulty, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "They... asked the slave... to tell you that if you... within three days... if you don't commit suicide and apologize, you will definitely destroy my Liu family... Dogs and chickens will not be left behind!"

"Crazy tone..." Liu De's youngest son suddenly said angrily, he was obviously angry, and at the same time his two elder brothers were also filled with righteous indignation.

But Liu De was like a lightning strike, he only heard him ask in a trembling voice: "Who said this...?"

Liu San looked pale and said: "It's that young master..."

It was Wei Wuji who said it... and said it himself, Liu De felt that the end was coming.

Liu De staggered back a few steps, because he had realized in his heart that he was going to be the victim of the struggle between the two sides.

According to the original intention of that young master, he might really want to kill his whole family in response to the family, and the option of letting himself be self-judged is undoubtedly just the other party's scruples about Wu'an's rules.

So... what should I do? L Liu De was very confused, or hesitant.

Everyone must be afraid of death, and Liu De is no exception. It is undoubtedly more difficult for him to end his own life.

Liu De turned around slowly, regretting the mansion in a rather distraught manner, regardless of the shouts from the people around him.

Also present were his three sons, the steward of the Liu Mansion, and Liu San who would not die for a while.

"Clean up all of these..." Liu De's eldest son ordered the steward, and then led his two younger brothers to the mansion.

They heard Liu San's words just now, so they were afraid that their father would do something stupid, and they had to stop him.

They couldn't find their father in the study or in Datang, but they didn't dare to let the servants know about it, so the three brothers had to find it by themselves.

When they found Liu De in their ancestral temple, they found that their father had already apologized in front of the ancestral tablet and drank the highly poisonous Crane Crown Red, so he seemed to be asleep.

At the same time, Liu De also left a letter to his three sons, warning them not to get involved in these battles again, and at the same time passed the title to the eldest son, and arranged for his own funeral.

Liu De's choice was forced and helpless. His three sons naturally knew that their father was for their three brothers, and at the same time for this dilapidated family.

…………

Three days later, news spread from the Liu Mansion that the old Patriarch died of a serious illness.

When outsiders were lamenting that Lord Liu died before he reached sixty, the upper-level families in Wu'an were furious, and Wei Wuji slapped them in the face severely.

Just as the descendants of the Liu family did not announce the truth, the Wu'an family members cannot announce their internal affairs to the public, because this is the rule of the game.

But Wei Wuji, who was being cursed at this time, was preparing to set off at this time, and the time to go to Lingbei had arrived.Someone in the palace has come to urge.
