Chapter 52: Hand over the Analects of Confucius, otherwise you will die!
Li Danian was a clean official, and his house was a slightly abandoned courtyard.
In the yard, several naughty boys with white silk were playing. When they saw the guests hiding behind the pillars, they secretly looked at Chen Yuan.
There was a curiosity in his eyes.
In the middle of the main hall, a thin black willow coffin was placed horizontally above the wooden section.
A gray-haired old woman sat on a wooden bench and kept adding paper money to the brazier.
Several people came to the door and the woman whispered to the old woman.
"Mom, the current governor is here to pay tribute to the New Year."
"Old lady, my official Chen Yuan, was appointed by the court to come to investigate the cause of Lord Li's death."
"I hope you can cooperate."
Hearing this, the old woman trembled all over and slowly turned around, her turbid old eyes staring at Chen Yuan.
"Why should I believe you?"
"this……"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect the old lady to say this.
Chen Yuan thought for a while, took off his official boots and shone them out on the soles of his feet.
There are several blood cocoons of all sizes above.
"Just this, I have never ridden a tall horse since taking office, nor have I ever been on a sedan chair with eighth-carrying."
"Do you think this is OK?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the old woman's eyes. It was the first time she heard that she was not a sedan chair when she was an official.
However, the facts are right in front of you, this young governor may indeed be a clean official.
So her face calmed down a little.
"Embroidered lady, bring a wooden bench for Lord Shen, although our Li family has no men."
"But etiquette cannot be missed!"
"Yes, mom." The woman moved a stool from under the kang mat.
"Shen Governor, his family is poor and simple, don't be surprised."
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is worried too much. I can just have a place to sit."
After sitting down, Chen Yuan lifted his official robe and looked at the old woman.
"Old lady, when I came from the capital of God, I heard that Governor Li was killed because he contradicted Zhao Wenhui for a few words."
"Is this really the case?"
"How many words do you contradict?" the old woman sneered.
"My son is strong and has no soft eyes, so many people are confronted."
"This is the first time Zhao Wenyi has been confronted."
Chen Yuan was stunned and frowned slightly.
"So, is there something else that happened to governor Li when he was killed?"
It is widely rumored that the governor Li Danian died suddenly because of a dispute with Zhao Wenhui.
Unexpectedly, there is another reason for this.
"certainly!"
The old woman snorted coldly: The reason why these people killed my son was because he found a shocking case.
Once this case is confirmed, the entire Yingzhou officialdom and even the imperial court will be affected.
That's why Zhao Wenhui killed my son.
Speaking of this, the old woman wiped her tears and sobbed.
"My son is stubborn, and I always advise him not to meddle in other people's business, so as not to cause any death.
But he said, as an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should inherit the emperor and follow the public opinion.
If you turn a blind eye to corruption in the officialdom, wouldn’t you let the teachings of the law be disappointed?
Who would have thought that he would never come back now, wuwuwu...
Looking at the grief old woman, Chen Yuan sighed lightly.
The greatest misfortune in life is probably the white-haired person who gives birth to black-haired person.
As a successor, the only thing he can do is to bring the murderer to justice.
To comfort Li Dainian's spirit of the next heaven.
When the old woman's emotions calmed down, Chen Yuan felt thoughtful.
"Did you have any special instructions or instructions before the old lady, Governor Li goes to Yingzhou Camp?"
"What..."
The old woman thought about it and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remembered that before my son left, I handed over a book of the Analects of Confucius to Yun Niang."
"Tell her to keep this book safe and no matter who wants it, she can't give it to her."
"The Analects of Confucius?"
Chen Yuan walked forward for a while and said with an urgent look on his face.
"I wonder where Yun Niang is now?"
"To be honest, Yun Niang took her sister to his uncle's house."
"I am currently in Qingzhou."
The embroidered woman put two bowls of tea on the table and said lightly.
"The name Yun Niang is a bit familiar. It seems that I have heard of it somewhere..."
Just as Shen Yuan was thinking hard, Captain Hu whispered.
"Sir, the pair of sisters you saved seem to have one named Yun Niang!"
"That's right, it's her!"
Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that the female prisoner rescued at the Qingyuan County court that day was Yun Niang.
As soon as he thought about this, Chen Yuan just wanted to leave the Li family's courtyard quickly and find Yun Niang.
She got the Analects of Confucius and then grasped the ironclad evidence that Zhao Wenhui killed the fourth-rank official.
"Since that's the case, I will say goodbye first and come to visit again next day."
He bowed to the old woman, Chen Yuan took Hu Er to leave the Li family.
Time is limited, so he cannot leave the governor's mansion for too long.
But what he didn't know was that after he left, a team of masked men holding swords knocked on the Li family's door.
"Who?"
"The people from the Yingzhou Yamen came to return the relics of Lord Li at the order of Lord General."
The door opened, revealing the embroidered lady's surprised face.
"Didn't you just come here? Why..."
"Ah! What are you going to do!"
Bang!
The door opened, and the masked man glanced around and merged into the night.
...
"Sister, we have been away from home for so long, and I don't know how my grandma is doing."
In the dark alley, Yun Ling'er said with some concern.
Yun Niang hid in the corner and observed for a while, and found that there was no one on the street.
He pulled his sister over and ran quickly to the house.
Since her father died, she always had the illusion that her family had been targeted.
When the two of them opened the door, before they could take a breath, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Then he collapsed on the ground, tears flowing down his cheeks.
In the lobby, four young children and two women were all hung in the air.
He stuck his tongue out and stared at their faces with a blue face.
mother!
mother!
Yun Niang and her sister could no longer help but rush to the lobby with grief.
Want to put down the hanged relatives.
No matter what, they never expected that in just over a dozen days, the living person would die like this.
As the sound of crying, the door opened and two officials holding long swords walked in.
He licked his lips cruelly.
"Li Yunniang, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunniang suddenly raised her head and stared at the person who came.
"You killed my family!"
"Hehe, so what? Now you're in our hands."
"It's hard to fly with wings."
"Hurry up and hand over the Analects of Confucius, otherwise you will be nice!"
An official with a scarred face shouted.
"Don't think about it!"
I have never seen any scenes of Li Yunniang, and they may still have a way out if they don’t hand over the Analects of Confucius.
If I hand over the Analects of Confucius, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight.
The fact was just as she expected. Although the official officer was so angry that he was angry, he did not kill her.
Scarface sneered and walked towards the two sisters.
"Li Yunniang, you are very smart. We brothers really can't kill you."
"But I didn't say I couldn't sleep with your sister!"
"If you read that right, your sister will be in the year of cardamom this year."
"hey-hey……"
"What are you going to do? Don't come over. Go forward, I'm going to call someone."
Looking at the scar face getting closer and closer, Li Yunniang pulled her sister over and protected her firmly behind her.
