"Go home first." Liu Fu nodded and walked past his son. At this time, he no longer had the humble and genuflecting attitude behind his master. Instead, he had his hands behind his back, his back straight, his head raised and his chest raised without squinting.
The wine and food were already prepared at home. Liu Fu entered the room without saying a word, and sat down to eat the wine. Liu Zhong handed the lantern in his hand to the little girl who also sat beside him, pouring wine and picking up vegetables from time to time. Movements are natural and skillful.
After drinking for three rounds, Liu Fu put down his glass and spoke to his son: "Today, the master has a new errand for you. You must do it well this time and do it with all your heart and soul. Can our family get rid of their slavery and become officials?" rely on you."
When Liu Zhong heard that he could still eat, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and looked at his father with bright eyes: "Get out of slavery? Dad, what does this mean?" He got out of slavery and became an official. He heard it wrong and his father was drunk. . ,
"Well, it means getting rid of slavery." Liu Fu nodded affirmatively, "Your father and I serve the master every day, running and working hard just to wait for this day. The master has personally agreed to find a place for you brothers to be released. "It's my job." Liu Fu's tone was full of pride. No one wants to be a slave for the rest of his life, but they are born in a family. If the master doesn't show mercy, they can only be slaves for the rest of their lives. They have been slaves for generations and married slave wives. , gave birth to a slave son.
Even now, he is the chief steward of the Liu Mansion. He seems to be very prosperous, but in fact he is walking on thin ice. He trembles in fear in front of his master every day, and dare not make a wrong step. The master wants the life of a slave more than crushing one to death. Ants are even simpler.
Therefore, Liu Fu attaches great importance to this opportunity to turn around.
"Really?" Liu Zhong was so excited that his heart was trembling. He didn't expect that they would have such a good fortune.
"It's absolutely true, we must do the job well." Liu Fu warned. He knew very well in his heart that whether his family could turn out to be serfs and run the family would all depend on this job. "You and your brother are often away from Beijing. I don’t understand the current situation in the capital. Your Majesty is dying now. It’s only happened in the past two years. The eldest prince is a fool. Only the second prince can sit on this throne. There are some things that need to be prepared."
Liu Fu's tone was extremely certain, and he no longer acted cautiously outside. Although he had just been scolded by the master, he felt the same as Ming Jing, how could a fool become the emperor.
He knew that the master knew better than anyone else that the reason why he rebuked him so harshly was just to avoid suspicion and not to leave anyone with a reason to blame.
Once the second prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the master, as the chief assistant, will definitely assist him with all his strength.
Then the future of the two sons who are able to follow the master is naturally unlimited. Whether they are a great history of feudal territory or a high-ranking official in the imperial court, they will have the opportunity to give it a try.
Liu Zhong also became excited when he heard it. His eyes narrowed, and the moles at the corners of his eyes kept surging with his movements. "Dad, what errand does Master want me to do this time? I will do my best."
Not only do you have to go all out, but you have to do it well even if you risk your life.
Liu Fu took a sip and then whispered: "It's better to go to Pingcheng."
"Pingcheng?" Liu Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect it to be such an errand. He knew exactly where Pingcheng was. He found Zhang Dong and Cen Yin there and seriously injured them. Unfortunately, he did not find the person they were looking for.
Why did the master ask him to go to Pingcheng? Could it be that the eldest prince is still alive?
impossible! Zhang Dong and Cen Yin were seriously injured and could not escape death. Is it impossible for a six-year-old baby to survive without the protection of adults?
Sure enough, Liu Fu said, "What do you know? As long as we don't find anyone, there are 10,000 possibilities. If they haven't appeared in the Cenjia Village area, then they must still be in Pingcheng. If you look for them again this time, you must find them."
"This..., maybe he died a long time ago." Liu Zhong didn't understand. If he was asked to find a dead person, he was still a child. Even if he searched for a hundred years, he wouldn't be able to find it.
This task is very difficult~~~
"You are such an elm-headed person. You can't see him alive or dead. Are you sure he is dead? What if he is alive?" Liu Fu shouted angrily. He was very sure that the person was in Pingcheng, but he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He was dead. That's all, living is a trouble.
As long as he lives, he will always be a thorn in the master's heart.
He believed that Shi Tingyu had not found anyone, otherwise Shi Tingyu would not have welcomed that fool back to the palace as the eldest prince.
"To be honest, you didn't do your job well. You're lucky that I didn't let you down. You can't let me down again this time." Facing his son, Liu Fu warned his son in a serious tone. He was not kidding. The last time Zhang Dong and Zhang Dong were together Cen Yin ran away under Liu Zhong's hands, and the master was already furious. It was he who came up with Li Daitao's plan and attracted Shi Tingyu's attention, thereby welcoming back a fool prince, and Liu Zhong was able to save his life.
At this critical moment, the master will not allow any accident to affect the second prince's accession to the throne, and will eliminate even the slightest possibility. If the second prince fails to ascend the throne smoothly, not only Liu Zhong will die because of his incompetence, but also their whole family will die.
So what if he has served the master for decades? Even the scale-reverse immortal who touches the master will die.
In his opinion, opportunities and risks coexist. This incident is an opportunity for them to turn over, or it may be the devil that drives them into hell.
Liu Zhong was reprimanded by his father so much that he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. The older one ran away and the younger one could not be found. It was indeed his fault that he did not handle this matter well, but at this time his head was in a mess and he did not know what to do with this errand. Just do it. Again, let him find a kid who has never been masked, maybe a dead person, and he can't find it even if he searches for a hundred years.
He is in a hurry! Sooner or later his miserable life will have to be confessed.
"Please father, please point me to a clear path." Liu Zhong stood up and filled a glass for his father, sincerely asking for advice.
Liu Fu half-squinted his eyes, and said the solution he had thought of for a long time in an extremely cold and cruel tone: "I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. I remember that he was born in April. Do you know what to do?"
Liu Gan was startled when he heard this, and said in shock: "Father, this..." Did his father mean to let him kill all the boys born in April, even those born in March or May? This is too difficult, the number Too big and extremely exposed.
"What are you afraid of? A whole village can be slaughtered, but a few children are afraid?" Liu Fu disagreed. This is not his intention, this is the master's. There are some things that the master does not need to explain too clearly. As a slave, he has to understand. , it was the same with the massacre, and it was the same this time.
If he didn't understand anything, he wouldn't have stayed with the master for so many years.
"Don't be kind to women at critical moments. Think about what to do." Liu Fu stood up and patted his son, who was taller than him, on the shoulder with one hand and went to his new concubine. In the house, he was tired after waiting for him all day and needed someone to wait on him.
"You should leave early tomorrow morning. Go early and come back early."
Liu Zhong stared at the table full of leftovers alone in a daze. It wasn't that he couldn't bear it. He had already become as hard-hearted as he was swimming in the sea of blood and corpses. He was not afraid of any cruelty. He was just thinking about how to handle this matter.
