Chapter 29: Only Righteousness Remains (1)

  Slender and delicate body, with a fragrance unique to girls.

  After rushing into Liu Gan's arms, a pair of hands tightly hugged him, just like a dying person grasping the last straw to save his life.

  It's Lü Bu!

  At this moment, she no longer has her usual coquettish and spoiled appearance, with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

  For some reason, Liu Jian's heart ached. He gently wrapped his arms around Lv Jia and asked softly: "Jia, what's wrong? What happened to your brother? Don't cry, tell me slowly."

  Perhaps it was the magic in Liu Jian's voice. Lü Ji gradually calmed down, only to find herself shrinking into Liu Jian's arms, her face flushing red, quietly retreating backwards, yet so imperceptibly that she withdrew from Liu Jian's embrace without a trace, her face still bearing tears.

  "Ah Jian, you have to save my big brother!"

  Lü Gong had two sons. The elder son, Lü Ze, was twenty-three years old this year; the younger son, Lü Shizhi, was one year younger than Lü Jia and only twelve years old.

  Lü Jiǎn's voice trembled with tears as she said: "ā Gān, my brother has been taken away by the government!"

  Liu Jian was taken aback and stared at Lü Jia in surprise, thinking to himself: Could it be that the Lü family is connected to thieves, which is why they were arrested?

  But then he thought again and immediately denied this idea. Although it can't be said that he understood the Lü family very well, Liu Jian knew that the Lü family was a respectable family in Shanfu, and their ancestral home was in Handan, with no connection to Wang Ling whatsoever. As for why the Lü family couldn't stay in Shanfu, on one hand it was because they had offended the local aristocratic families, and on the other hand, it was because Emperor Qin Shi Huang had ordered the relocation of 120,000 wealthy households to Xianyang. It seemed that Mr. Lü didn't want to go to Xianyang.

  It was for this reason that Lü Gong moved his whole family to Pei County.

  Liu Jian suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice after a moment of contemplation, "Ah-jia, is your older brother hiding from the government's recruitment?"

  Thinking about it, this time's recruitment, from start to finish, didn't see Lü Ze's figure.

  Logically speaking, Lü Ze's age meets the recruitment requirements, but he didn't show up... It's obvious that he deliberately avoided this recruitment.

  Ren Yao indeed practices what he preaches.

  It was said at first: once it is found that someone evades conscription, they will certainly be severely punished.

  Although Xiang Nalü had just arrived in Pei County, she was still considered a respectable person from a good family background. Not only would the government take notice of her, but also the neighbors and local residents would be cautious around her.

  Lü Jia nodded and said: "My brother didn't deliberately avoid the summons, it's just that he broke his leg the night before, so he couldn't go. Ah Guan, I heard that you achieved great merit this time and have a good relationship with the Qin people, can you help me plead for my brother to be released?"

  A pair of lively big eyes are full of expectation.

  Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh: What a silly girl! Your brother's leg, it broke too conveniently. I remember that day when we returned home from outside the city, I saw Lü Ze and a group of people drinking at Wu Ji's tavern, how did his leg break in just one night?

  No wonder Lü Zhi didn't come, probably she also understood the underlying mystery.

  "Auntie, did you sneakily come to find me?"

  Lü Jiān looked at Liu Gāng in surprise, seemingly extremely shocked. "ā Gāng, how did you know I snuck out to find you?"

  Nonsense, if this were normal, how could it be you who tells me? If your brother broke his leg, your sister would definitely tell my mother.

  It is worth noting that in the entire city of Pei, Lü Zhi had no friends to speak of, and the only people she trusted were Liu Jian and his mother, Lady Jian.

  This matter, Madame Guan was completely unaware of, which means that Lü Ze's leg breaking had a mysterious reason. According to Madame Guan, during those days when he went out on the expedition, Lü Yu often came over to chat with her. Foolish girl, if your brother broke his leg, how could your sister not reveal even a hint about it?

  Liu Jian naturally couldn't say this to Lü Cu.

  However, he underestimated one thing, that is, Lv Gong's temperament. Lv Gong was a businessman and had some utilitarian tendencies, and he liked to save face. Liu Quan was just the son of a guest who relied on the Lv family for food back then, although not a slave, but in his heart, Lv Gong still looked down on Liu Quan somewhat. In Lv Gong's view, Liu Quan was just a fool with brute strength, and if he couldn't solve the problem himself, what could Liu Quan do?

  "Auntie, when was your brother taken away?"

  "It's noon!" Lü Jia's eyes turned red again, and she sat on the porch, sobbing: "Those people are so unreasonable, they smashed my family's door, rushed in and locked up my brother. When they left, one of the leaders even said that according to Qin law, my brother would definitely be sentenced to exile at the border for at least five years. Father went to find a way out, I told him to come find you, but father just wouldn't agree."

  Yes, how could Lü Gong lose this face?

  "Where is your sister?"

  "Things are already in a mess at home, and my sister is trying to comfort everyone. I snuck out of the back door... Ah Jian, you must have a way, right?"

  Liu Kan very well understood what was going on in Xiao Lü's (pronounced Xu, first tone) mind.

  From childhood to adulthood, Liu Quan was the little tail of Lü Zhi, and Lü Jiao was the little tail of Liu Quan. In those years in Danfu, Liu Quan took care of Lü Jiao like a protective god. Whenever someone gave trouble to the Lü sisters, Liu Quan would always rush out fearlessly.

  Perhaps in Lü Jia's heart, Liu Gong will help her!

  But silly girl, do you know that the Liu Jian in front of you is not the same as the one from back then.

  Liu Quan really didn't know how to refuse. In fact, under Lü Ji's innocent and expectant gaze, he found it hard to refuse.

  But what can he do?

  These days, he studied the Qin law and had a certain understanding of it. The Qin law was similar to the laws of later generations, but in terms of enforcement and implementation, it was even more strict, to the point where it could be described as inhumane. The law held everyone accountable, with only one person, the Qin king, standing above all others. It was precisely for this reason that when the Qin king gave an order, the old Qin people from 800 miles of the Qin river valley could charge forward without fear of death.

  The Black Dragon's sweep of the six nations was by no means a lucky thing.

  Liu Jian is now just a commoner, how can he contend with Qin Fa? Even if he can find some loopholes, but as for Lü Ze's matter, it's not something he can solve.

  After a moment of contemplation, Liu Ke raised his head, "Ah Jia, don't worry. Let me think of a way, but it's not necessarily going to work."

  But then Lü Jia saw Liu Gong answering, and immediately smiled happily.

  "I knew it, Ah Kan must have a way."

  Little aunt, I just said think of a way, but didn't say there is a way!

  Liu Jian was crying and laughing at the same time, but he really couldn't bear to strike Lu Ji. Never mind, do his best, after all, there must be a way out.

  ————————————

  Let's talk nonsense for a bit.

  The post on the book review section of that BBS, Xiao Xin really doesn't know what to say. I guess our values are different, in my opinion, a comrade's life is not something to be abandoned.

  To some extent, Liu Jian's personality has a bit of Xiao Xin's shadow. Hehe, pedantic... maybe.

  At this time, Liu Jian was just a commoner living at the bottom of society. Directing battles? It's unlikely that he would be in charge. With Zhao Tuo around, how could he possibly take command of such things? He was just an ordinary person who, upon seeing his comrades injured, would rush to their rescue without hesitation.

  Liu Bang didn't know how to win people's hearts, and he couldn't compare with Zhao Tuo's calmness.

  Liu Jian's only thing to do is to work hard and do his own things well. Xiaoxin once said: The buttocks decide the brain.

  At what position, doing what things. Rational faction, reasonable faction... Hehe, isn't it that this world, precisely because of many irrational and unreasonable things, makes people feel hopeful?
