Li Xiuzhu received a piece of news that someone had robbed the prison at Yudaomen.
Yes, Li Xiuzhu had the person sent to the Imperial Sword Guard Prison.
Not only were there beggars, but there were also martial arts masters, about seven or eight of them, which was fewer than the number of people who tried to assassinate them last time, and the most powerful one was Huang Rong.
So no one was rescued, and there were casualties on both sides, but the masters were only injured at most, and those who died were basically the Sword Guards and beggars.
Li Xiuzhu didn't take it seriously. He thought Huang Rong's martial arts skills were just so-so and the God of Detectives could stop him.
But the four Silver Sword Guards are not something that can be controlled by a bunch of martial arts people, plus hundreds of ordinary Imperial Sword Guards and team leaders.
Li Xiuzhu was not worried at all.
Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that Fu Wenhan also went to find Guo Jing today.
Yes, Fu Wenhan was carried in a sedan chair to find Guo Jing, instead of coming to pay tribute to the late emperor and the emperor who had just passed away.
By the time Li Xiuzhu found out, it was already that evening.
Li Xiuzhu, who had just returned home, was called over by Fu Wenhan again.
Li Xiuzhu was slightly stunned, because he would go to see Fu Wenhan every day when he came back these days, but taking the initiative to go and being called are two different things.
When Li Xiuzhu came to Fu Wenhan's room, he could still smell the strong herbal scent, which even the incense could not cover up.
Li Xiuzhu glanced at Fu Yuehua beside him and immediately had a guess in his mind.
"Guo Jing?"
Although it was just two words, Fu Yuehua's body trembled slightly, and she looked at Li Xiuzhu in shock.
"How did you guess that? Father hasn't said anything yet."
"Xiuzhu, sit down."
After Li Xiuzhu sat down, Fu Wenhan continued, "Father has something I would like to ask you for help with."
Li Xiuzhu frowned and did not agree, but said: "Father-in-law, please talk about it. I may not be able to help."
Fu Wenhan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately heard the evasion in Li Xiuzhu's words.
Fu Wenhan smiled slightly. He had already guessed what Li Xiuzhu might have guessed.
However, Fu Wenhan did not give up and asked, "Xiuzhu, how much do you know about Guo Jing?"
Li Xiuzhu thought about it after hearing this and said, "He is a chivalrous man who serves his country and his people, but this is not an excuse for him to assassinate us."
"Even if he believed in slander, the fact that he assassinated us without any evidence shows that he is just a foolish man."
Seeing that Li Xiuzhu blocked his words as soon as he opened his mouth, Fu Wenhan felt a little tired and just said it bluntly.
"Today I went to see Guo Jing and learned why he wanted to assassinate us."
"The commander of Dasheng Pass has not received any food or salary for half a year, and the soldiers at the border are about to mutiny. He received news from the commander of the garrison that the silver was intercepted by his father to build the Grand Canal."
"Plus, someone told him that the construction of the Grand Canal forced the people to serve, which was a waste of money and labor. Moreover, the oppression of the people was even worse than that in the pre-Qin period."
"In order to verify this, he went to see with others. It turned out that the people who built the Grand Canal did not live well."
"That's why he brought people to assassinate my father."
"So, in the final analysis, it is the father's dereliction of duty."
"But he is a good knight who serves his country and his people, a good knight who can help the Great Zhou guard the border."
Li Xiuzhu frowned and asked, "So, father-in-law has decided to just let it go?"
Fu Wenhan sighed and said, "If possible, I would like to ask you to spare their lives."
Fu Wenhan wanted to release the person immediately, but the detective disagreed.
Now, who in the court doesn't know that Li Xiuzhu is the regent? How dare they release the person Li Xiuzhu sent in? Moreover, this case is also related to the case of His Majesty's funeral.
The detective had only one thing to say to Fu Wenhan: he could release the man, but the Regent had to come in person to take him back.
Li Xiuzhu shook his head in silence, then said: "The border can dispatch soldiers, but if you dare to assassinate them, you must be prepared to be killed."
Hearing this, Fu Wenhan paused, looked at Li Xiuzhu and suddenly said, "Do I really have to beg you?"
As he spoke, Fu Wenhan pulled open the quilt and was about to get off the ground, which made Fu Yuehua feel nervous.
"Father, Doctor Sun told you to try not to get out of bed."
"Ahem, it's okay. For these true chivalrous men, I am willing to die."
Hiss, listen to what you said, have you ever considered your mother-in-law and your daughter? How irresponsible.
Are you forcing me to do this at the risk of your life?
Just as Li Xiuzhu was thinking this, Fu Yuehua hurried to Li Xiuzhu and was about to kneel down.
But before Fu Yuehua could kneel down, Li Xiuzhu had already placed his feet under Fu Yuehua's knees.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Seeing his woman's pitiful appearance, Li Xiuzhu's heart softened. As he stood up and left, he said, "I can let her go, but I have to calm down first."
"Don't worry, I will let them out alive and won't destroy their martial arts."
After saying these two sentences, Li Xiuzhu had already left the room, leaving only the father and daughter.
A sigh sounded, and Fu Wenhan said, "Yuehua, I'm sorry for putting you through this. Go and comfort Xiuzhu later."
"He is angry!"
After being Li Xiuzhu's family for so long, this was the first time they saw Li Xiuzhu being so rude.
But one can also imagine how angry Li Xiuzhu was at this moment.
The two people closest to him forced him because of an unrelated person.
Fu Yuehua nodded when she heard this, but still said to Fu Wenhan: "Father, you really went too far this time."
After saying this, Fu Yuehua turned around and left, going to comfort her husband.
When Fu Wenhan saw his daughter leave, he immediately gave a bitter smile.
But he had no choice, Guo Jing understood.
A chivalrous man who served his country and his people, guarded Dasheng Pass for ten years without asking for anything in return, and even gave away a lot of his family wealth.
He couldn't just stand by and watch such a chivalrous man die.
Even though he was the assassin who had killed him.
Was Li Xiuzhu angry? Yes, but only a little. Guo Jing's death was irrelevant to him.
Anyway, he only agreed to release the person, but didn't say how.
But he is very angry now, and perhaps only Mrs. Guo can calm him down.
At this time, Fu Yuehua also chased over, and when she saw Li Xiuzhu, she quickly said, "Husband, wait for me."
Li Xiuzhu paused.
He couldn't even get angry with his wife over a little bit of anger.
Seeing Li Xiuzhu stop and wait for her, Fu Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped on the Lingbo Weibu, quickly appeared in front of Li Xiuzhu, hugged Li Xiuzhu and said, "I'm sorry, husband."
"Daddy is injured, and I...Yuehua has made things difficult for my husband."
Li Xiuzhu touched Fu Yuehua's little head and said, "So why don't you go and call a few sisters together to compensate your husband?"
I have been sleeping upside down recently, so the second update is late. If you haven't read it, you can read it the next day. In addition, that account is Penguin, not a personal account (end of this chapter)
