Chapter thirteen sacrifice one's life for righteousness, break the family for the country

When Liu Xingzuo felt a "knock" in his heart, he secretly felt something was wrong. He pushed open the door of his old mother's room, but saw a ghost on the rope beam that had already returned to his hometown.

The wife, who came with Liu Xingzuo to pay tribute to her mother-in-law, only called out "Mother" at that time, and then fainted.

Liu Xingzuo always thought that he had been in the army for a long time and had been used to life and death. His heart was already as hard as iron stone. He felt that there was nothing in the world that could move him. However, he didn't want to see the scene in front of him. He was shocked and hurried over and untied his old mother from the rope. He saw a letter on the table, but he didn't read it. He stuffed it directly into his arms and carried the old mother to the bed to place him.

After thinking about it, Liu Xingzuo couldn't help but blame himself secretly, saying that he forced his mother to follow him last night, but his mother was unwilling to be tired of him, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into trouble. At this moment, he just wished he could die and return to his mother.

However, Liu Xingzuo was not an ordinary person after all. For many years, he had hidden his thoughts of planning to return to the south and dealing with the Tatars between life and death, which made him calm down as soon as possible.

Liu Xingzuo placed his mother's body and carried his wife into his arms. Then he took out the letters and read them, but they were the last letters left by Liu's mother:

“My son Xingzuo:

Don’t be sad when you see the faith. Mom leaves first.

Since you were a child, my mother has never deceived you, but this time, my mother is about to break her promise.

My mother knew that my son was a filial son, so she would definitely find a way to take her to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the number of people returning to the south is of great importance. Nowadays, the Tartars are powerful and mostly cavalry. If things are urgent, everyone may not be able to escape safely. If only we, mother and son, fell down, but all the people returning to the south are trusting my son, so they need to think carefully. They cannot put everyone in danger because of their mother, otherwise it will be unrighteous. This is one of them.

Secondly, destroying the family and becoming a country, and being a minister is responsible. Now, I will take the lead for my mother and go to see your father so that he can know that my son is now returning to his hometown and serving the emperor. Your father will definitely be happy. If my mother is there, and the matter is urgent, if my son surrenders to Jiannu again, he will be unfaithful. If he does not surrender, he will be unfilial, which will cause my son a dilemma.

My son can be cremated and brought back his ashes to his hometown for burial. He will be buried in his hometown and be buried in his hometown. He is already satisfied with his mother. But I can't see my son's title of marquis, which is very regretful.

From then on, my son should do his loyalty to the king, otherwise he would be resentful to his mother in the underground."

After reading with tears in his eyes, Liu Xingzuo was already in tears. He knew that he had put too much pressure on me last night. In other words, it was equivalent to forcing his mother to death. This was the real unfilial piety!

At this point, Liu Xingzuo made a quick decision. He put my mother's last suicide note in his arms and put it away. Then he sorted out his mother's face slightly so that it didn't look like she was hanged, but it seemed like she was naturally dying in a dream. He woke up his wife. Without waiting for her wife to speak, he immediately covered her mouth and told her: "It's absolutely impossible to talk about this! I only say that I am too homesick and had gone last night. Otherwise, my Liu family would have to worry about life!"

After all, Liu Xingzuo's wife had seen some storms and nodded immediately to show herself to understand. Seeing this, Liu Xingzuo let go of her hand, took off the rope and threw it under the bed. Seeing that nothing was wrong in the room, she let out a loud cry and cried: "Mom! Why did you leave your son and leave by yourself!"

Seeing this, Liu's wife also burst into tears. The shock before and the grief that she had just endured, burst out at this moment, and turned into a voice: "Mom!"

It was already dawn. When the maids in the mansion heard the movement in the inner courtyard, they rushed over with Liu Xingxian, the housekeeper and others who came to hear the news. When they entered the old lady's room, they found that the old lady was lying on the bed and her body was already hard, and the master of his family, Liu Xingzuo, was kneeling in front of the bed and crying like his wife. Only then did they realize that the old lady had passed away.

Seeing this, Liu Xingxian ran to Liu Xingzuo, knelt down and cried, "Mom!", and then she was already in tears.

No matter whether the other people were genuine or not, they all fell to the ground and started crying loudly. Several maids even cried when they thought about the benefits of the old lady treating her own people.

In the end, the housekeeper stood up first, came to Liu Xingzuo, glanced at the old lady's body, and mixed it with Liu Xingzuo and said, "Master, the old lady has gone, you are mourning. You still need to come up with a charter to handle the funeral of the old lady."

Liu Xingzuo burst into tears and cried, "I am in chaos at this moment and I don't know what to do. The most urgent thing is to ask my wife and younger brothers to sort out the old lady's face first. I'll talk about other things later."

The housekeeper quickly bowed and said, "Master, it's time to organize the old lady's face first. This is the right thing to do. But it seems that it is inappropriate to let the wife and the second master's wife do this? Do you condemn a few mothers to do it?"

Liu Xingzuo was furious when he heard this, and slapped the housekeeper with a backhand, and said angrily: "Old dog! The old lady's most love for them in her lifetime was the two of them. What's wrong with asking them to sort out the old lady's face? If you dare to speak up again, you will definitely kill me!"

Seeing this, Liu hurriedly stepped forward to grab Liu Xingzuo and said to Liu Xingzuo: "Honey, please calm down, and the matter will be done by me and my younger brother." After that, he turned his head to Liu Xingxian's wife who had just gotten up, and said, "Girls and sisters, you and I will do this matter. Don't anger your elder brother."

Then he said to the butler and other maids: "You don't need to wait for this matter, just go and do something else."

After Liu Xingzuo went out with Liu Xingxian, he saw that there was no one else in the room. Liu Xingzuo's wife said, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't blame her sister-in-law. But this matter is important, and my husband has not explained it to me clearly. He just said that if you are not careful, our whole family will have life worries."

Liu Xingxian's wife was also a virtuous person. She didn't say anything when she heard this. She just looked at her sister-in-law with inquiring eyes and pointed to the southeast direction with her finger.

Liu Xingzuo's wife shook her head first, then nodded and said, "I don't know either. But I think so, I think so. I just don't know that for this reason."

Since the two of them had already had a scheming in their hearts, they stopped talking, and just patiently sorted out their faces for their mother-in-law, and called on the maid to take the shrouds that they had prepared long ago and put them on for Liu's mother. They were even more careful in this period.

There are two types of people who are hanged. One is that the cervical spine is broken and the spine is broken. This type is generally not abnormal on the outside, and the twist marks on the neck are shallow; the other is that the rope is tightened and cannot breathe, and the suffocation is dead. This type is that the twist marks are extremely deep, the tongue is extended and the outside of the outlet is extremely long, and the eyeballs are protruding, which is extremely terrifying.

The two of them were more careful and changed into a mourning dress for Liu's mother and carefully sorted it out so that if they were to peel off the mourning dress, they would not see the creases.
