Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 444

[Chapter 444 The Son of Dragon (4)]

A few days passed, but Liu Yu didn’t hear Liu Yucheng’s mention of Aoshe. She couldn’t help herself, so she found a time and went to Liu Yucheng’s study. Liu Yucheng, who was writing, saw Liu Yu and smiled. Said: “Xiaoyu, don’t need embroidery today?”

“Father, my daughter wants to ask father something.” Liu Yu walked in front of Liu Yucheng, she still needed some courage to speak her heart. Things can’t be too straightforward.

When Liu Yucheng heard this, he put the brush up, his face a little unsightly. “What’s the matter?”

“Didn’t Dad say that Young Master Ao would come a few days ago? Tomorrow is Dad’s birthday, so why don’t you see Young Master Ao?”

“This matter will not be mentioned in the future.” Liu Yucheng looked displeased , sat down.

Liu Yu didn’t understand why Liu Yucheng had such a sudden attitude, and asked quickly, “Why can’t you mention it?”

“Humph!” What a serious son, but unexpected…”

“Unexpected what? Dad.” Seeing Liu Yucheng being so angry, Liu Yu felt that something was wrong, and naturally wanted to know the reason.

Liu Yucheng glanced at Liu Yu and shook his head: “Xiaoyu, if you listen to your father, you will never know him in the future.”

“My daughter doesn’t understand.” Liu Yu bit her lip and looked at Liu Yucheng. She had some feelings for Ao She in her heart, and she liked it a little bit. She didn’t understand what Ao She had done to make Liu Yucheng so angry.

Liu Yucheng saw that Liu Yu did not ask clearly and vowed not to give up, so he had to tell Liu Yu what he had inquired about. It turned out that Liu Yucheng had heard others mention it two days ago. Although Ao She said that he had some money , But because he offended the powerful, his family property was confiscated. Not only that, but he was also convicted, saying that he was a thief businessman who colluded with pirates. Therefore, now Aoshe is not only in the family, but also bears a lawsuit. Maybe, when others heard that Liu Yucheng wanted to recruit Aoshe as his son-in-law, he almost didn’t involve Liu Yucheng. Liu Yucheng also spent money to get out of this whirlpool.

When Liu Yu heard this, her little face turned pale: “Dad, did you hear it wrong? How could Young Master Bo be such a person?”

“Why is it impossible? I should have thought that when he gave me pearls that day, something like that is rare. If he hadn’t colluded with the pirates, how could he be so precious?” Liu Yucheng was angry when he thought about it, in order to get rid of this lawsuit, he even gave the pearls he got to others. .

Liu Yu thought about seeing Ao She at first and saving the children bravely on the street, she shook her head and replied, “Impossible, I believe that Mr. Ao is not that kind of person.”

At this moment, the servant ran in, panicking. He said, “Sir, it’s not good.”

“What’s the matter with yelling like this?” Liu Yucheng was in a bad mood at first, but when the people disturbed him, he was even more annoyed, and he couldn’t help but get angry.

The servant glanced at Liu Yucheng and replied in a low voice: “Master Hui, someone from the yamen said that you have something to do with the pirates and want to take you back for questioning?”

“What?!” Liu Yucheng felt like A shocking thunder exploded on the top of the head, and everyone suddenly softened. He had already given away the pearls. Why did the yamen still question him? He didn’t know, and felt very uneasy, but he couldn’t refuse. The yamen asked people to ask questions. If he didn’t go, and people forced them to go, he was afraid that it would be even more disadvantageous to himself. “Let them wait in the hall for a while, and I’ll go later.”

“Yes, sir.” The servant heard and ran out hastily.

As soon as Liu Yu heard the people coming from the yamen, she knew that things were not good, and asked anxiously, “Father, what’s going on now?

” I wouldn’t encounter such a thing, but the most important thing in front of me is to get myself out of this lawsuit, so I looked at Liu Yu and instructed: “Xiaoyu, don’t worry, wait for Dad to leave, you Go to Master Fang and let him think of a way.”

“But, father…” Liu Yu looked at Liu Yucheng nervously, how could she not be in a hurry when such a thing happened to her father, she just couldn’t think of any other way, Had to nod. “My daughter knows.”

“Yeah.” Liu Yucheng nodded and left the study. He couldn’t keep the people in the yamen waiting for a long time. He just hoped that Mr. Fang could settle this matter. Anyway, Mr. Fang came from above. The two have known each other since childhood. Friends of the world, there is only such hope.

After Liu Yu watched Liu Yucheng go out, her heart became even more chaotic. She hurriedly returned to her room and changed her clothes. After Liu Yucheng went out, she took a sedan chair and came to the mansion of Lord Fang. This Lord Fang was considered tall. As a magistrate, she also hoped that as her father thought, Mr. Fang could help, but unexpectedly, after she told Fang Shihuai about this, Fang Shibu’s face showed embarrassment.

“This…it’s not easy to handle.”

“Master Fang, you must save my father. You know that my father doesn’t know any pirates at all. He was wrongly framed.”

“This matter can be big or small. Saying that your father found me earlier, maybe there are countermeasures, but it is too late now.” Fang Shihuai shook his head.

Liu Yu got anxious, stood up, and hurriedly asked, “Why did Mr. Fang say this?”

“You know, this matter has attracted the attention of the imperial court. In order to arrest the pirates who commit crimes at sea every year, officials have been dispatched from above. I heard that this person is extremely strict, I’m afraid it’s not so easy to make sense.” Although Fang Shihuai said that he was in the officialdom, he couldn’t do anything about it, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to help Liu Yucheng. Strange, it was neither too soon nor too late, but it was at this time that he had heard about the case. It was nothing more than that Liu Yucheng had a close relationship with Aoshe, and suspected that Liu Yucheng was also involved in the pirates, but he saw it with his own eyes. When Liu Yucheng first saw Aoshe, in just a few days, he did not believe that Liu Yucheng could be involved in it.

Hearing this, Liu Yu had tears in his eyes: “Then what should I do now? Dad has already been taken by the yamen, if…”

“Xiaoyu, don’t worry, let me think about it.” Fang Shihuai hurriedly comforted.

Hearing Fang Shihuai say this, Liu Yu nodded naturally, otherwise what could she do as a little girl, she had to go home and wait for news as Fang Shihuai said. This wait is three days. After three days, Fang Shihuai came to Liu’s house, and Liu Yu was there. Fang Shihuai was received in the hall.

“Master Fang, how is my father?”

“Xiaoyu, don’t worry, just listen to me.” After Fang Shihuai took a sip of tea, he looked at Liu Yu and replied, “Your father is now suspected because he couldn’t explain the matter with Aoshe, so I also sent People have inquired about it, and the person handling the case is a first-rank official surnamed Liang. I have heard of him before, saying that he is strict and ruthless, and he is selfless, but…”

“Just what? Mr. Fang.”

“It’s just, The punishment is a little harsher.” Fang Shihuai gave Liu Yu a worried look.

Liu Yu was so frightened that she sat down on the chair and said to herself, “How can my father survive the beating.”

“Don’t worry, I have already cleared it. Your father will be fine for the time being. I don’t know the relationship between Aoshe and your father, if you can clear the relationship, it’s nothing, I’m afraid that Aoshe will talk nonsense, and then it will be a bad thing.”

“Master Fang, you said that Mr. Ao was also arrested. Get up?”

“Exactly, the day before your father was taken away by the yamen, Ao She was already in prison.”

“Then Master Ao?” Liu Yu couldn’t help asking.

Fang Shihuai glanced at Liu Yu. He looked at Liu Yu’s elders. Seeing that Liu Yu was beautiful and graceful, he intended to marry Liu Yu to his son as his wife, but he had already seen it at the banquet. Liu Yu’s attitude towards Ao She temporarily dispelled this idea, and now, he has to remind: “Xiao Yu, at this time, I am afraid that you have no time to think about Mr. Ao, you have to rescue your father first. , Although the dredging is passed, it will not endure hardship for the time being, but it is dark in the cell, so humid, I am afraid it is not very good for your father’s body.”

“Xiaoyu understands.” Liu Yu nodded, at this time, she knew that she should not care at this time. There are more outsiders than her own father. She was too impatient just now. After thinking about it, she hurriedly asked: “Master Fang, in your opinion, what should I do now?”

“This…” Fang Shihuai touched his chin, After thinking for a moment, he replied, “Maybe I can give it a try from Master Liang.”

“Master Liang… Master Fang is talking about Master Liang who specializes in pirate cases?” Liu Yu heard Fang Huaihuai mention it just now and took it to heart.

Fang Shihuai nodded and replied, “That’s right. Although this gentleman is a little strict, he doesn’t seem to be an unreasonable person. It would be best if he can clear it up.”

“Then Xiaoyu will go to prepare money, Leave it to Master Fang.” Liu Yu was about to get up.

Fang Shihuai hurriedly stopped: “Absolutely not.”

“What’s the matter? Master Fang.”

“Xiaoyu, it’s not that I don’t want to help, if I participate in it, I’m afraid it will be more detrimental to your father, even me…”

Fang Shihuai Although the words were not finished, Liu Yu knew what Fang Shihuai meant, and everyone was afraid to involve himself in the matter, not to mention Fang Shihuai was still an official. “Xiaoyu understands, Mr. Fang, tell Xiaoyu what Xiaoyu should do?”

“Well.” Fang Shihuai smiled comfortably. After all, Liu Yu was reasonable and did not say that he was not human. Of course, he also wanted to do something for the Liu family. After that, he told Liu Yu what he had inquired about. After speaking, he was afraid that others would be suspicious, so he didn’t stay in the Liu family, and went back to the house directly.

The next day, Liu Yu brought some silver taels and came to the Yingfu Inn. Fang Shihuai told Liu Yu that Mr. Liang, who specialized in the pirate case, did not live in the official courtyard, but lived in the Yingfu Inn, so she went early. Waiting for tea downstairs in the inn. Because she didn’t know anyone, Liu Yu asked when she came downstairs when she saw someone. Unfortunately, after the morning passed, she didn’t wait for that good Sir.
