Chapter 299 Regret to death

Lv Deping put his eyes on the small hole in the window paper and clearly saw the inside of the room.

The house does not look very big from the outside, but the main hall seen by Lu Deping is relatively spacious. However, this spacious main hall is now a little crowded, because facing the door, there is a large dark coffin that looks very decent.

The direction of the head of the coffin is facing the room, where there is a long table with a spiritual card in the middle. Lv Deping did not look carefully at what was written on it, because he already knew it without looking at it. There are raw and cooked tributes in front of the spiritual card, two white waxes slowly burning, and the incense in the front incense burner has just been lit and inserted. The paper code Xiangke was placed in the direction of the foot of the coffin. The clay pot was red, and a bunch of sallow rough paper had not yet burned. The paper ash floated from time to time, which was particularly strange in the tightly closed doors and windows.

The black and white coarse cloth decorated the whole mourning hall neatly. In this hot weather, Lv Deping felt the cold hair on his back vertically, and there were bursts of cold oil.

In the mourning hall, He Lijing stood in front of the big black coffin, as if he had nothing to do, and as if he had done what he had to do but was reluctant to leave. The stench in the room did not seem to make He Lijing feel uncomfortable at all. He looked at the dark coffin in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.

The coffin was sent back the day before Wuming County was besieged. In the hot summer, the big coffin smelled on the way from the imperial city to Wuming County. When He Lijing saw his daughter again, everyone around him couldn't help but look at the coffin. Normally, in this case, the daughter should be put to earth immediately, but just as everyone was preparing for mourning, an army that came out of nowhere surrounded the whole Wuming County tightly. Before the mourning team could leave the county magistrate's mansion, they were told that the city gate was blocked and could not get out at all.

He Ruiping's coffin was placed in this yard that she had never come before. Although He Lijing wanted to put his daughter in the yard where she lived before she left home, he really didn't want people to be bored after her death. All this was not her fault, not before, nor now.

He Lijing deeply blamed himself. If it hadn't been for his future, and if it hadn't been for him for a higher status, how could his daughter have married to settle down. If my daughter hadn't gone to settle down, how could she end up like this? Since He Ruiping arrived at the Prime Minister's mansion, the detective He Lijing's inserted there kept returning letters. He Lijing knew that his daughter was not doing well there, but he had always believed that with his current status, the An family did not dare to let his daughter suffer. As long as she becomes the young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion and with Rui Ping's character, she will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Prime Minister's mansion and win the favor of peace. However, nothing in his ideal happened, and his daughter died inexplicably.

Who killed Ruiping? He Lijing kept thinking, but in the final analysis, he knew that it was not someone else who killed his daughter, but himself.

Not only that, since Wuming County was besieged, He Lijing has tried to get people to go out to send letters to his sons who are far away from home. He held a glimmer of hope, but this hope was immediately dashed. Before he was ready, the other party had already taken action. He Lijing has been smart all his life, but now he has found that he has been playing with applause.

Grief and despair submerged He Lijing in an instant like a tide. He gradually felt that he didn't need to struggle anymore, because everything was in the hands of others, and everything had been planned by others for a long time. No matter how hard he struggled, there was no way to save all this. One thing seems to have been doomed. I thought every step was right, but in fact, every step I took was towards today's hell.

"Riping... It's my father who is sorry for you..."

Tears splashed in He Lijing's eyes, and he didn't know how many times he had said such words. Once tears gushed out, there seemed to be no way to stop. The middle-aged man's legs were soft and fell to the ground. He stroked the dark coffin and whispered in a hoarse voice, "When An Longyi agreed to this marriage, his father actually doubted it. The powerful and royal relatives in the court failed to climb this marriage. Why did the An family agree to be the father... My father was arrogant and thought that he could be on an equal footing the assistant prime minister by guarding the fortress... It was his father who harmed you..."

Outside the room, Lu Deping raised his ears and listened carefully to He Lijing's crying, and couldn't help frowning. He stayed in this stench and resisted vomiting, not to listen to what these people knew. He really wanted to urge He Lijing to quickly talk about the group of sergeants who came out from nowhere.

However, He Lijing had already been immersed in his grief and only heard him continue to say, "Now my father understand why the An family agreed to this marriage and why they postponed it for two years. They are waiting, waiting for their wings to be full, and waiting for their secrets to keep for many years to be discovered by the King Xiaohan... They were smart for their father and thought that we would stand aside after getting married, but even if they had already calculated it, An Pingzhi had no intention of marrying you from the beginning... Ruiping, you suffered you. Wait for him in vain, and you miss him every day. The evil white-haired beast, he has never seen you as his wife at all... He is incompetent for his father. One day, even if he is a ghost for his father, he can't forgive his father and son..."

Lv Deping couldn't stand listening to these words. He found that his action was really childish and ridiculous. Even if He Lijing knew something, how could he run to his daughter Ling to talk about those things? How does a living person have to do with her dead man? I'm afraid that He Lijing will continue to talk about their hatred and continue like this.

However, when Lv Deping decided to leave, he heard He Lijing suddenly say, "Reiping, I know that you are not at peace here. When those private troops withdraw, I will immediately send you to a good place for my father to sleep there... If... The An family really wants to take my father with this whole Wu Ming. The county people are trapped in the city..."

Speaking of this, He Lijing suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Lv Deping outside the window only felt that his heart was pounding. The words he heard in his own ears let him know that the troops outside the city were the private army raised by the first assistant prime minister!

Is there such a thing?

Lv Deping was shocked and calmed down. At this moment, Lv Deping felt that he knew a lot of things at once. The An family raised a private army. He Lijing wanted to collude with the An family, but he was abandoned by the An family. After the An family abandoned He Lijing, he immediately surrounded the whole Wuming County... Why? Did the first assistant prime minister surround such a county just to break up with He Lijing?

Just as Lu Deping was thinking about this, He Lijing suddenly raised his head and said, "As a father, I will never let An Longyi and Anping succeed!" Even if the jade is burned, I will fight for my father this time!"

After saying that, He Lijing slowly got up, stroked the dark coffin and muttered, "Reiping, you are waiting for your father..."

Lv Deping outside the window saw that He Lijing was about to leave, and hurriedly turned around and quietly ran out of the yard. He ran out of the door of the inner house, took his armor, then found a secret place to dress neatly, and hurried out of the county governor's mansion. But before he got on the horse and left, he saw a subordinate running out and stopped him.

"Lord Lu, Lord County is looking for you."

Lv Deping had a ominous foreboding in his heart. He handed over the horses to others, rearranged his armor, and returned to the county governor's mansion again with the subordinate.

At this time, He Lijing had come to the front hall. He seemed a little surprised to see Lu Deping, but then waved to him to sit down beside him carelessly. The two waited silently. Soon, the two commanders of the patrol camp and the city defense camp also arrived in a hurry.

After all four of them were seated, He Lijing said, "My Wuming County has been besieged for many days, and there is still no news from the court. The situation is urgent and can't wait any longer. I decided to go out of the city to meet the leader of the other party.

The other three people looked surprised when they heard the words, but in fact, they had already thought of it. The county has been surrounded for so many days, but He Lijing, a county magistrate, has been shrinking in his house and has not appeared. Now there are many voices of dissatisfaction in several barracks or on the street. If He Lijing doesn't come forward again, maybe one day someone will gather in the county's mansion.

The other two commanders looked somewhat relieved, but Lu Deping couldn't scream. He saw He Lijing's appearance just now and knew that he had to risk everything now. Maybe his current behavior would take them all to death. His dead daughter was hopeless, but Lv Deping didn't want to die with him.

However, Lv Deping could not say this, so he could only quietly listen to He Lijing's arrangement.

He Lijing asked people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Lu Deping on the spot. "Deping, I will leave this matter to you, let you send this letter, and then arrange for me to meet with the leader of the other party."

The other two commanders were a little glad that this hard work did not fall on their own. While complimenting Lu Deping, they put themselves out of the matter.

Lv Deping looked at the letter in his hand with a bitter face, as if these pages weighed a thousand pounds.
