Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Jiankang, Inner City, Meng Mansion.

A medium-sized mansion had already been emptied by people. Usually, this mansion with hundreds of servants and servants was empty at the moment. Meng Chang's body was lying in a coffin, and a man about forty years old The middle-aged woman, completely plain, with tears on her face, sat at the first place on the left. She was Meng Chang's wife, Mrs. Zhou. With paper money in it, in the entire mourning hall, there were only a dozen relatives of the Meng family who were crying and worshiping, but there was not a single visitor.

A maidservant who supported the Zhou family said angrily: "On weekdays, when the Patriarch is here, people who come to the door every day can step on the threshold, but now, when the Patriarch is gone, no one comes to the door. It's too much to be hypocritical!"

Mrs. Zhou sighed softly: "Ling'er, don't say that. After all, the Patriarch committed suicide by taking medicine because he disagreed with Mr. Liu. At this time, no matter how good the relationship is usually, Colleagues don’t dare to come to the door, it’s tantamount to not giving Marshal Liu face.”

Having said that, Mrs. Zhou looked at Meng Huaiyu, and said calmly: "Huaiyu, you have been here for a long time, and you still have military affairs, so go back quickly. I will be here to see your uncle die."

Tears were streaming down Meng Huaiyu's face, and she shook her head firmly: "No, I won't leave. When I was a child, I fled with my uncle all the way, and came to Dajin from the north. If there is no uncle, I would have died a long time ago. Over the years, my uncle has been taking care of me, promoting me, and promoting me from a small soldier to a general. If it weren’t for my uncle and Brother Jinu, how could I be Meng Huaiyu today? I want to say anything today Keep vigil for my uncle, even if the monsters attack now, I will not leave!"

Ling'er bit her lip, and said in a deep voice: "Second young master, don't be like this, our Meng family is a loyal family, the head of the house, and the young master have all sacrificed their lives for the country, but after the death of the head of the house, it turned out to be like this. Da Jin, is it worth it to work for such a marshal Liu?"

Zhou's complexion changed, she looked at Ling'er, and said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, how can you say such nonsense? Why don't you shut your mouth quickly?!"

Ling'er cried: "No, ma'am, if I don't shut up, I will say that the Patriarch is obviously..."

Zhou stood up angrily, raised her hand directly, and was about to slap Linger's face with a round circle, she said angrily: "The master's body is not cold yet, you are just chewing your tongue here, you don't know if I don't kill you of……"

Liu Yu's voice sounded outside the door: "Siblings calm down, this has nothing to do with Linger."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they looked towards the door, only to see an old housekeeper walking like a dragon and a tiger, wearing a general's robe and armor, but covered in a white robe, tied with hemp rope, and wearing a black gauze on his head Behind Liu Yu, he walked in a hurry, and said as he walked, "Marshal Liu, slow down, slow down."

Meng Huaiyu's dignified face changed slightly, and he was about to get up to salute, but Liu Yu had already walked to the door, waved his hand, and motioned Meng Huaiyu to continue to sit on his knees: "Huaiyu, don't get up, this is your uncle's mourning hall, isn't it?" In the barracks, there are no superiors and subordinates here, only one colleague, a comrade-in-arms, who came to bid farewell to the old man."

When he said this, tears were already streaming from his eyes, and his voice was trembling slightly. No one would have expected that this invincible, God of War-like Dajin Pillar would be in front of Meng Chang's coffin at this moment. tears.

While crying, Liu Yu bowed to Mrs. Zhou: "Sister and sister, it's my fault. It's my improper arrangement and ineffective protection that caused Yanda to suffer such a disaster. If possible, I wish I was the one lying in it , not Yanda!"

Meng Huaiyu's complexion changed. The news he received was that Meng Chang committed suicide by taking medicine. But all along, he saw that Meng Chang's face did not have the dark purple color when he was poisoned. Then he said in surprise: "What, uncle..."

Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly: "You all step back. Uncle Zhong, I won't bother you here."

The old housekeeper named Uncle Zhong quickly nodded and saluted, and opened his hands to quickly call the servants and maids in the hall to evacuate quickly. Linger also bowed and prepared to leave, but Liu Yu said calmly: "Miss Linger, please stay."

Surprise flashed across Zhou's face, and he turned to Liu Yu and said, "Jinu, she is a little girl who doesn't understand anything, please..."

Liu Yu shook his head slightly: "Sister and sister, in your eyes, am I already this scary now? For some secret things, I will take people's lives at every turn?"

Zhou's expression became relieved, and he said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, you stay here. Everyone else retreats, close the door, and leave the courtyard. You are not allowed to enter casually. Violators will be subject to family law."

Soon, everyone was gone, and there were only four people left in the room~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ling'er no longer had the expression of grief and indignation just now, and was even trembling slightly.

Liu Yu looked at Linger and said, "Miss Linger, how much do you know about the death of your Patriarch?"

Ling'er gritted her teeth, straightened her heart, and said with a stiff neck: "I only know that the Patriarch didn't commit suicide by taking poison after he came back. He, he was obviously killed by someone. He has a sword wound on his chest. Marshal Liu , why do you want to kill him? He is your brother for many years!"

Tears flowed down Meng Huaiyu's eyes, and he knelt down to Liu Yu and said, "Brother Jinu, why, why did you do this? Uncle, he just..."

Liu Yu closed his eyes and shook his head: "Huaiyu, even you think I did it? I, Liu Yu, am upright and upright. Don't say that Yanda and I just disagree and discuss each other. Even if I really want to kill He will also declare the canonical punishment and deal with it publicly, how could he kill someone like this and say he committed suicide? Am I, Liu Yu, the kind of person who dares to do what he doesn't dare to do?"

Meng Huaiyu and Linger's expressions changed at the same time, their eyes widened, and they said in unison: "Well, what's going on here, who killed uncle?"

Liu Yu looked at Mrs. Zhou, and wiped away the tears on his face: "Madam, how much do you know about Yanda's death, and what do you want to tell me?"

Zhou shook her head in pain, two lines of tears were already streaming down her cheeks: "I knew it, there would always be a day when I hurt Yanda and him!"

She opened her eyes, looked at Liu Yu, and said loudly: "Yes, Liu Tingyun met Yanda through my introduction. I have been persuading Yanda to cooperate with her all these years. It actually killed my husband! Now, I wish I could die in my husband's place, and only hope that he can come back to life!"
