Chapter 521: The Assassination

"Just based on you, I want to assassinate myself? I overestimate myself!"

After glanced at the assassin who was still rolling and wailing on the ground, Liu Ertiao gently tidied up the messy green official robe on his body, bowed to Xue Rengui lightly, and thanked him. The first time he saw Xue Li take action, he didn't expect that it would be like this earthquake.

Thinking of the sharp arrow shot at him just now, Liu Ertiao couldn't help but feel scared. If Brother Xue hadn't reached out to catch it, the one who was lying on the ground at this moment would be afraid that he would be himself.

"It is the responsibility of wise men to protect the second young master." Leaning sideways, Xue Rengui bent over and picked up the assassin on the ground, removed the black cloth covered by the assassin's face, and asked Liu Erzhao softly: "I don't know what the young master is going to deal with this person?"

"Calling, I want to see who it is, and I want to take my life!" As he said that, Liu Ertiao's face turned dark, and he turned his head and shouted at Liu Quan, the general captain who was still stunned, and said, "Captain Liu, take a few brothers to temporarily detain the assassin in the county prison. I will interrogate myself later! Remember, don't torture him for the time being, I want him to live."

"Yes, sir!" Liu Quan was still a little dazed until now. After being the headmaster for so many years, this was the first time he was so close to an assassin. Well, although when the assassin appeared, his hands and feet were a little stiff and his body was not very effective, he finally experienced it with their lords.

Moreover, they never knew that the guard of the Xue surname, who had always been with their adults and rarely spoke very much, was so powerful that he could even catch the sharp arrows shot by one hand! Such ability and eyesight were incredible and magical in the eyes of the yamen runners heads led by Liu Quan who were born and raised in Sanyuan.

After responding, he saw that the powerful guard next to their adults threw the assassin directly at their feet, looking like there was no harm. Liu Quan took the lead and pulled out his waist knife and rushed towards the assassin. Together with a few subordinates, he tied the assassin who had no ability to resist.

"Okay, the matter has passed. All the villagers, let's all disperse!" Seeing Liu Quan and others taking the assassin away, Liu Erzhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to bow and shout loudly to evacuate the crowd. After the king dispersed, Liu Erzhao turned over again and took Xue Rengui and the remaining yamen runners back to the mansion together.

"Master, the assassin just now doesn't look like a person from our mansion. Could it be that Liu Ertiao and his party have other enemies?" Seeing Liu Ertiao and his group go away, the streets returned to their previous calm again. In a second-story restaurant not far from the incident just now, Liu Hai bent over, took his eyes away from the window, and asked their master Liu Peng in confusion.

"It's not the people in our mansion, nor is it my husband's instructing me. At this time, it's the easiest thing for people to assassinate Liu Ertiao, which is the most likely thing for people to speak out, and that's what a fool!" Liu Peng's expression has always been ugly. Since he heard that Wang Shuai and Liu Yan were imprisoned last night, his mood has not been better for a moment. Especially, he just saw a scene of assassination in this restaurant, and his heart became heavier and his face was gloomy.

Because, when answering Liu Hai's question, he thought of another possibility.

"This trick is not new!"

In the small courtyard of the Liu family, Ren Youxiao raised his head and made such an evaluation of the poison tea incident of "Sanyuan Tea". Sang Yue, the second boss of the "Dahong Chamber of Commerce" who came with him, also nodded obediently and agreed, apparently agreeing with Ren You's words.

"Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu may not know that businessmen like us, especially in restaurants and inns, often encounter such things as those encountered by the Liu family in Sanyuan. There are countless flies, crotons, hair, nails, etc., and we are all used to it." Sang Yue said with a clear voice: "But this time in the Liu Mansion, those people seemed to have done something a little too hard, and they were a little cruel. They killed ten lives in one go. It can be seen that they wanted to beat the Liu family teahouse to the point where they could not stand up."

"Miss Yue'er is right, but I don't know if they can survive this time?" Zhang Chuchu's eyes showed some concerns in her hugging Bao'er. Although Liu Yi had persuaded her a lot about this before, every time she thought of this, she still couldn't help but worry, fearing that the Liu family would fall apart because of this, and fearing that her uncle would be depressed because of this.

"Sister-in-law, please rest assured," Ren You took a sip of fragrant tea and said to Zhang Chuchu indifferently: "Those who want to murder the Liu family only thought about the consequences of doing this, but they never thought about it, and ignored one thing, that is, Mr. Liu Yiu's influence among the people."

"Not to mention the 'Liu Ploughs' that have been spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, nor to mention the 'Liu Waterwheels' that have solved the suffering of droughts everywhere. It is just the refugees who were rescued by Mr. Liu in the flood that last year and were saved by Mr. Liu and saved the plague from the disaster. Which one does not regard Mr. Liu as his benefactor, and who does not regard Mr. Liu as a person with great virtue?" Ren You continued: "So, with these people's voices and people's expectations, even if this 'Sanyuan Tea' really poisoned a few people, no one will believe that it was Mr. Liu, but it was done by the Liu Mansion."

"Xiao You said it well," Sang Yue glanced at Ren You tenderly and said, "As long as the government can give an explanation in a short time, it will be a clear innocence of the 'Liu Family Tea House', and the 'Liu Family Tea House' cannot be defeated."

"And, the little girl is sure that after such a crisis, the reputation of "Sanyuan Tea" will only be more famous than before, and there will be more people who want to taste and drink it. At the very least, our Dahong Chamber of Commerce will continue to buy and sell "Sanyuan Tea" in large quantities from "Liu's Tea House."

"Okay, right and wrong, the court will make a decision. Let's not guess it here." He looked at Sang Yue with admiration, and Liu Yi waved his hand slightly, stopping the topic Sang Yue wanted to continue. He didn't want Chu Chu to hear too much, and he only became worried.

He picked up the tea bowl and blew the Ye Mo who was still floating in the tea. Liu Yi raised his eyes and stopped his eyes on Ren You and Sang Yue, and looked back and forth. From the time these two men entered the house, Liu Yi felt something strange and inappropriate. Whether they were talking, acting, or looking at each other, they gave Liu Yi a feeling of being a husband and wife.

I haven't seen Ren You for only a few days. This kid has hooked up with this strong woman from the "Dahong Chamber of Commerce"?

"Tell me about you two?" Liu Yiuan sat down slowly, delivered the tea bowl to his mouth, slapped it in a small way, looked up at Ren You and Sang Yue, and said in a voice: "Today, I'm going to Liu's small temple, I'm just talking about the poison of 'Sanyuan Tea'?"

"Haha, brother is wise," Ren You turned his face and turned his head to look at Sang Yue beside him, and said, "The day before yesterday, Sang Mansion had already received his betrothal gift. Yue'er is now the younger brother and sister-in-law. Today, my younger brother brought Yue'er here just to let her meet with her elder brother and sister-in-law first and recognize her front, so as not to see you again in the future and still be strangers."

"Yue'er!" He patted Sang Yue's little hand slightly, Ren You shouted softly, and signaled to her with his mouth.

"Well," responded in a low voice. Sang Yue became a little embarrassed and shy. She lowered her head and blushed, slowly stood up from the seat, walked towards Liu Yi and Zhang Chuchu, put her hands on her waist, slowly bent down and bowed to Liu Yi and his wife to his husband and wife, and said intimidatedly: "Yue'er greets Brother Liu, and greets sister-in-law!"

Then, Liu Yi turned his head and looked at his wife. Seeing Chuchu looking at him in surprise, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed and was very surprised.

Is this the Tang Dynasty? Is this the evil feudal society that others call? Why, how come I just got married and I could run away with my wife? It was much more open than some places in the 21st century. I remember when I got married with Chuchu, I didn’t see each other again for more than three months?

"Sister Yue'er doesn't have to be polite. We are not outsiders, so sit down and talk." Zhang Chuchu took the lead in speaking, smiled warmly and looked like a sister-in-law, arranged to let Sang Yue sit next to her, and Xiaoyi served Sang Yue a cup of new tea.

"I wonder how much Guigen is like this year, sister Yue'er?" Seeing that Bao'er was asleep in her arms, Zhang Chuchu gently handed him to Xiaoyi's arms, took Bao'er into the bedroom to place him, and then took Sang Yue's little hand intimately and chatted with her about family matters.

"Last 16th month, Yue'er just passed her seventeenth birthday," she looked up at Ren You opposite him, and a hint of red appeared on Sang Yue's face and said softly: "It's two whole months older than Xiao You."
