Chapter 120 They Are Mine
The Tiemu brothers were of unusual stature, and naturally their voices were much louder than those of ordinary people. The two of them knelt and shouted, immediately interrupting the love between Liu Feiyun and his sister.
When Liu Xiyao saw her brother turn around and look at the two giants, she was immediately displeased, but when she saw the blood-stained shoulder pole they threw on the ground, she felt guilty. She could only hold back and keep silent, watching how her brother would deal with it.
Liu Feiyun put Liu Xiyao on the ground, then turned to look at the Tiemu brothers and asked calmly, "Save your mother? What happened to your mother? Why do you want me to save her?"
Before the Tiemu brothers could reply, Tiemuhua took out a letter from her bosom, knelt on the ground with both hands and said, "Master Liu! Here is a handwritten letter from your senior sister, Doctor Zheng of Yaoxiang Valley. Please take a look. After you read the letter, you will understand everything!"
Liu Feiyun took the envelope, opened it, and pretended to look at it for a few seconds before asking in surprise, "Did Senior Sister Zheng ask you to come find me? When did you meet her? Where is she now?"
Tiemuhua answered slowly, "My lord! It was indeed Doctor Zheng who asked us to come here and ask you to treat our mother! About ten days ago, we were lucky enough to meet Doctor Zheng who treated our mother's serious illness! But that day, Doctor Zheng said that she had something important to attend to and could not stay at our house for long. Our mother's illness was too serious and required long-term treatment to recover. Doctor Zheng saw how filial we were, so he wrote this letter and asked us to come here and ask you to continue the treatment! Master Liu! Please! Please save our mother! As long as you can cure our mother, the three of us brothers and sisters are willing to serve you like cows and horses for the rest of our lives! Please!"
As she spoke, Tiemuhua began to kowtow repeatedly. The Tiemu brothers beside her followed suit, kowtowed and shouted: "Please save our mother!" "Please save our mother!"
The two Tiemu brothers kowtowed, and the sound was surprisingly loud. After only a few kowtows, blood appeared on their heads.
The three siblings kept kowtowed in front, and Bian couldn't help crying softly in the back. This scene made many onlookers sigh, and even those soft-hearted women shed tears.
Filial piety is the most important virtue, and it is also the moral standard recognized by the vast majority of people in this alien world.
Liu Xiyao, who received the letter from Liu Feiyun, read the letter and saw the Tiemu family kneeling and crying. She sighed and said, "It seems that they are also a miserable family! Brother. Since Sister Zheng entrusted them to you, then you should help them."
After Liu Xiyao said this, some brave people in the crowd echoed her.
"Yes! Yes! Sir, please help them!"
"Miss Four is right! For their filial piety, let's help them!"
"Sir, you are a chivalrous man. You will not just stand by and watch such a filial person!"
……
Although Liu Feiyun had imagined before how to subdue the Tiemu brothers and use them for his own purposes, he had never expected that the time would come when such a scene would occur.
"I didn't expect that by doing this, I could not only recruit two capable people, but also win a good reputation. It's really a turn of events for me!" Liu Feiyun was also secretly delighted.
But on the surface, he still tried to suppress his smile, as if he was touched by the filial piety of the three siblings. He raised his hand to stop the three from kneeling, and then whispered a few words to comfort Bian. Then he said, "I see that your family is also a kind mother and filial son family. With my sister's entrustment, we will naturally not stand idly by! How about this! You will all follow me back to the mansion in a while! I will slowly treat the old man when we get there!"
After hearing this, the mother and her two children knelt down again before standing up, waiting to go to the Earl's Mansion with Liu Feiyun!
When the onlookers saw this, they also expressed admiration and emotion from time to time.
However, when Captain Niu heard that Liu Feiyun wanted to take the Tiemu brothers away, his face turned bitter. He stepped forward and bowed, then said, "I didn't know you were back just now. I'm really sorry for the offense. I hope you will be magnanimous and don't take it as a fault! You want to take the mother and daughter away, so I dare not stop you. But these two men killed someone in the street, it's not appropriate for you to take them away just like that!"
Liu Feiyun was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Captain Niu would come to offend him after knowing his identity. You know, just now, the two of them had a big fight!
Liu Feiyun stared at Captain Niu with amusement, but said nothing. Captain Niu was sweating profusely under his stare, but he still insisted on continuing, "Master Liu! These two killed people in the street! No matter what the reason is, they must be tried and convicted! Otherwise...otherwise...where is the law of the court! It is my duty, so I beg you to hand them over to me and take them back to the county government office to wait...wait...wait for trial..."
Captain Niu saw that Liu Feiyun was just staring at him in silence, and his eyes were getting colder and colder. He was very nervous. Finally, he couldn't stand the oppression Liu Feiyun brought to him, so he changed his words and said, "It's...it's...it's...actually, it's...not...that I can't take him away. I just want you to...you...tell me a word! So that I can report back!"
Liu Feiyun's icy expression suddenly softened, and he chuckled, "That's right! These two beat someone to death in public. Even if they failed to do so while trying to protect me and my sister, they are still guilty. It would be inappropriate for me to take them there directly."
"But! According to the laws of the empire, those who accidentally killed someone while trying to protect their mothers do not have to pay with their lives. Instead, they can pay a ransom to avoid the death penalty and become slaves."
"Besides, in order for me to treat their mother's illness, the two have agreed to sell themselves to me to cover the high medical expenses! So, from now on, they are my, Liu Feiyun's, private slaves, and members of my Liu family."
After hearing this, the Tiemu brothers nodded and said, "Yes, yes! The little benefactor did say so! To cure my mother's illness, we need a lot of money!" "But we don't have that much money, so we have no choice but to sell ourselves to you, the new benefactor. We two brothers are willing to sell ourselves to you and work like slaves for you all our lives, as long as you can cure my mother!"
Liu Feiyun nodded and continued, "You saw it too! Besides, even if you bring them back to the county government, as long as someone is willing to pay for their sins, they may still be sentenced to be demoted to slavery, or used for public purposes, or sold to private individuals. In this case, there is no need to go through so much trouble. I will pay for their sins and slaves! I will take them back directly! You go back and report to your county magistrate, and he will sentence them accordingly! Do you think this is a good idea?"
After hearing what Liu Feiyun said, Captain Niu immediately felt as if he had been pardoned. He nodded and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense! I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you!"
It was at this time that people in the crowd suddenly shouted, "The lady is here!" "Mrs. Chu is here!" "The Countess is here!" "The female Bodhisattva is here!" "Chu the God of Wealth is here!"
