Chapter 9 The Ninth Chapter of Li Julai Gu Qing Judgment Case Prince Bao Goes to the South of the Yangtze River

It has been half a year since Li Fu received the edict to be promoted to the governor of Zhili, but he still refused to hand over the seal of the governor of Huguang.He was also eager to go to Beijing to take up his post, but he had a big case at hand: Hanyang businessman Cheng Sen seized the tenant Liu Erdan's wife, Liu Wang, and forced Liu's family of three to die by burning down the house.This case has been dragged on for three years, and Hanyang County and the government have already closed the case. The Cheng family did not know what to do. When the case was found in the province, the local yamen refuted it, saying, "Seizing the tenant is not a crime, and the real estate is not a crime." It is the property of the Cheng family; the burning of the house is not benevolent, and the law has no intention of penalizing the crime. Liu Laoshi's grandfather and grandson went to the Cheng family to drink medicine in public with arsenic, intending to blackmail, and it is nothing wrong."The Cheng Senjiao was sentenced to three months.Liu Wang refused to accept it and filed a complaint at the governor's yamen.After receiving the case, Li Fu asked Huang Lun, the inspector, to inquire. Huang Lun was straightforward and said that although Cheng Sen was rich and unkind, the Liu family was not a good thing.Cheng Sen said that it was because the land rent was bullish, and the reason for taking the tenant was to increase the rent.Liu Wangshi said that she went to Cheng Sen to make a theory, and Cheng Sen had no intention of rape.The increase in land rent is well documented, but there is no evidence for "rape".Hearing what Huang Lun said, it made sense.Because of this, the imperial court has issued an edict to transfer Li Fu to be the governor of Zhili. He is a protégé of Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of Military Affairs. Let the censor make irresponsible remarks, so he secretly reported the case to Yongzheng, requesting that the legacy case be dealt with and that he go to Beijing to take office cleanly.Soon it was awarded to Yongzheng Zhu Zhu:

It is still reasonable to seize the tenants because of the increase in land rent, but it is inexplicable to burn the house; it is even more inexplicable that the Liu family ordered three people to commit suicide in public in order to seize the tenants.It should be suspected.Li Fu can come to Beijing later, and he can take up his post after the investigation is completed.This is a case of human life and should not be taken lightly. Following this edict, Li Fu simply handed over the government affairs to the vassal yamen agent, and went to Hanyang for a private visit for half a month, which is the truth.Back at the yamen, just after the winter solstice festival, seeing Yongzheng's order to urge him to go north, Li Fu issued a fire ticket to Hanyang County to pick up witnesses and Cheng Sen, and then sent a letter to the procurator's yamen, asking Huang Lun to come over on the third day of the twelfth lunar month to conclude the case .

Three days later, the governor's yamen located in the west of Wuchang City put up a notice board, which immediately attracted countless people to watch the excitement.At this time, Meng Dong's water dripped into ice, and people like Mao Dong had nothing to do at home, so no one would come to see it.From the maozhengshi card, the oppressed bustling people came with their sleeves and necks shrugged, crowded in front of the screen wall of the yamen, next to the stone lion seat, and the place where official sedan chairs usually park outside the Yimen, basking in the warmth, stamping their feet loudly, Chatting and chatting.

"Hasn't Li Futai been promoted to the Zhili platform? The residence newspaper has come out, why do you still care about our affairs here?" "I heard that Liu Wang's case has been closed. Li Zhitai personally went to Beijing to report that there are suspicions in the case. The emperor ordered Li Zhitai to review the case. Li Zhitai is now an imperial envoy!" "An upright official..." An old man closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "It's best that Mr. Li stay here. God blesses an upright official to take care of us in Hubei. We only charge six dollars for fire consumption..."

"Hey! The iron-clad yamen official, no one is the cause of my grandfather! If you want him to stay, he will stay?" Suddenly, there was a burst of booing from the buzzing people. It turned out that Huang Lun's sedan chair had arrived.People hastily moved out of the alley where one person could pass, only to see a car of eight people carrying a warm sedan chair with plaid, and dozens of police officers from the yamen armed with water and fire sticks surrounded and approaching, followed closely by two cars. The four-person official sedan chair was seated by the magistrate of Hanyang County in Hanyang Prefecture—there was no gong to clear the way until it stopped in front of Yimen on the east side of the governor's yamen.When people looked around, it seemed that a Goshha had passed by the early flight from the signing room, panting: "The Fuyuan asks all the adults to sit less in the signing room." The door filed in.Everyone was looking at it at a loss, when suddenly they heard a "boom" in the hall, and people immediately flocked to the Fangtang entrance like a flood of floodgates, to see what kind of person Liu Wang, the plaintiff, was.Who knew that it wasn't Liu Wang's family when he came to see it, but the rice lunatic who begs every day in front of Wenchang Palace of Sanyuan Temple in Wuchang. One brick smashed a hole the size of a fist!The people in the nursing home didn't know that he was a lunatic, so two soldiers came earlier and held him down.Goshha, the gatekeeper, has a swollen neck and is asking angrily:

"Why are you beating the drums?" "I am wronged!" "If there is a grievance, the county will sue." "The county can't control it!" "Then the yamen in the house and the road!" "There is also a bulletin board here, and I will sue here!" "This bulletin board is only for Mrs. Liu!" "Ahaha!" Madman Mi hopped his feet and laughed maniacally, "Li Futai is also Liu Wang's Futai... Hahahaha..." Geshiha slapped him in the face and cursed: " Fuck your ancestors! Don’t you look at this place? What’s wrong with your mother, do you have to sue this yamen?” Crazy Mi didn’t seem to realize it, and said: “What an unfilial son... old father You have been an official for the rest of your life, but now look at my father being abused by bullies like a stranger! You, you... this disobedient and unfilial son..."

When Nageshha was so angry that the three corpses were violent, and when he wanted to go forward to beat him, someone who knew beside him whispered, "Don't be angry with him, Mr. Li. He hangs around Wenchang Palace in Sanyuan Temple every day. The famous Mi Crazy-" ——The adoptive son became an official, but he didn’t recognize his clan, and the one who got involved in the real estate, don’t you pity him?” Li Tou’er laughed and scolded: “You’ve been a lunatic for a long time? Get out!” While speaking, he saw the yamen The crowd flashed a way, and a young woman in her twenties was led in by a teacher from the famous punishment room.At this time, the sun was already high outside, and thousands of people were vying to see the complaining woman, so Li Touer knew that it was the Liu Wang family.I saw that she was wearing an indigo coarse cloth blouse, her thick hair was tied in a bun, wrapped in filial piety cloth, her eyebrows were slightly frowned as straight as a thin thread, and two shallow holes were sunken around her tight lips. With a shallow dimple, he timidly entered the yamen gate under the eyes of everyone, not daring to lift his head.According to Li Fu's instructions in advance, Li Tou'er handed her a drumstick more than four feet long, and said: "Let go of your guts, hit hard, don't stop, until the cannon is fired, you can go up again!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." A few dry and muffled drumbeats came to the signing room on the side of the back hall.Li Fu has always been a cold person and doesn't interact with people very much. Today, he sits in the Yamen and waits for the case, and he doesn't say a word.The county magistrate of Hanyang prefecture has a low position, and Huang Lun was full of suspicion that Li Fu was troublesome, so he didn't come to talk to him.The four people were sitting uncomfortably, when they heard the sound of the drums in front of them, Li Fu stood up, without looking at the three of them, just ordered "promoted", and then left the signing room.Huang Lun came out in a hurry, and heard three cannon shots at the entrance of the front hall. The yamen servant with a water and fire stick in his hand gave a majestic majesty:

"Oh……" All the noisy human voices stopped immediately, and it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.Mrs. Liu Wang had already knelt at the entrance of the hall, and when she heard the loud singing of "Lord Li ascends to the hall", she held the paper in her hand and kowtowed deeply, and murmured: "Li Qingtian is the master of the people's women!" Li Fu's clothes rustled up to the public seat, and saw that several masters had set up a small case next to the quiet avoidance board to be recorded. The west side of the public seat was empty for Huang Lun, and Hanyang County was a joint case. Sit on a stool.He stood there, cast a cold glance at the entrance of the hall, and ordered: "Master Huang, Liu Qing, the magistrate of Hanyang, and Shouwu, the magistrate of Hanyang County, will be interrogated together—present Liu Wang's case!"

"tie!" Goshha, who was called "Li Touer", agreed, and went to Liu Wang's to take the pleading paper and presented it to Li Fu with both hands.While looking down at the paper, Li Fu said to the three officials who had just been invited: "Three brothers, please sit down!" After reading the paper carefully, Li Fu coughed lightly and called: "Ms. Liu Wang." "The housewife is..." "You look up!" Liu Wangshi flinched uneasily, avoiding everyone's eyes, raised her head to look at Li Fu who was sitting in the middle, and hurriedly lowered her head again.Probably she couldn't bear the majesty and honor of the Senluo Temple like the governor's yamen, her hands softened, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid," Li Fu said softly, "Your case has already been filed for trial in the yamen, and the governor has also made an open and unannounced visit. Today, the case will be judged in court. Although the governor has been transferred to Beijing, he has already reported Tomorrow, if this case is not closed, I will never leave Hubei one step away, you just need to rest assured—let the defendant Cheng Sen go to court!" There was a slight commotion outside the yamen, and two yamen servants brought Cheng Sen out from the torture chamber on the west side.He was about fifty years old, wearing a six-in-one felt hat, a gray poplin sheepskin gown, a black betel nut purse belt around his shoulders, and a black lake silk gown over his shoulders. His fat face had no facial features. He is upright, with only his upper lip sunken, and he wears a small black beard to hide his appearance.Cheng Sen was not stage-frightened, he walked into the lobby with sloppy footsteps, clasped his hands together, hit him on the spot, glanced at Liu Wangshi who was kneeling beside him, and stood up again with a bow.Li Fu knew at a glance that he was an official, so he tapped the rattle in his hand and asked, "Your name is Cheng Sen?" "The late family member Cheng Sen!" "Have you been an official? What position, where did you work, and why are you here?" "The humble job was originally in Yandao, Jiangxi. In the 60th year of Kangxi, the treasury was withdrawn due to the deficit. In the 3rd year of the Yongzheng period, the deficit was made up, and he was restored as a Tongzhi in Tai'an. Because of the death of his mother, Ding You stayed in the system." "What a 'filial son'!" Li Fu glanced at Huang Lun in surprise. He remembered that Huang Lun was also an official in the Jiangxi feudal yamen and overturned Cheng Sen's case. Could there be a deeper background?While thinking about it, he sneered and said, "If you dare to rape a married woman before three years of filial piety, you don't care about the principles of Confucius and Mencius, the laws of the country, and the emperor's constitution!" He glanced at Liu Wang's carefully, "Because of resuming his humble position, he needed money, so he charged 10% more rent for the tenants. All the tenants were not dissatisfied. Liu Wang's family refused to pay the rent, and the boss burned her three rooms in a hurry. There is a thing about thatched cottages, and I have already punished the family members who burned the houses for this matter. Mrs. Liu Wang came to my house for rent, and when he saw me, he was coquettish in every possible way, showed his breasts, and said a lot Crazy talk, I drove her away—I have one wife and two concubines, this guy is old, can I be fooled by her?—Unexpectedly, her father-in-law is also a rogue. On August 16th, he brought her two sons to my house. Yan committed suicide by drinking medicine. Immediately, the low-ranking officer failed to rescue him, so it became a life-and-death lawsuit. This case has been interrogated many times by Mr. Huang, and the testimony is all available. The humble post is a scholar, so I dare not deceive my heart and reason. Knowing forgery, I really dare not bear the crime of being a lowly official..." As he spoke, he pulled out a sweat towel to wipe away his tears.Li Fu heard this, turned his face and asked without hesitation: "Hanyang County, you are the first interrogator, did this Cheng confess like this at that time?" The county magistrate, Shouwu, sat at the bottom. When the governor was his tutor Yang Ming when he took over the case, Huang Lun hadn't called him here. He didn't expect the case to be so messy.He was a jury today, and he was supposed to be a mud bodhisattva. Liu Wang won, and he did a good job at the time. One red and one white, said awkwardly: "Cheng Sen didn't show up at the court at the time, and he sent his housekeeper Cheng Guifu to represent him, and there were several tenants who were present asking for a rent reduction. The confession was different from what Cheng Sen said. Liu Wang Father and son drink medicine on August 15th, not August 16th. On August 15th, the Cheng family held a feast for the tenants, and there was a dispute over the renewal of the lease for the next year. Ding Zhuo committed suicide by taking medicine. Many people saw this incident, and the humble official thought the evidence was convincing, so he immediately terminated the Cheng family as unreasonable." Sitting next to Shouwu, Liu Qing, the prefect, immediately said: "The case declared by Shouling at that time is In this way, I have a low position, so I will approve it." Huang Lun slammed back from the opposite side: "Cheng Guifu is not serious. Liu Wang's sue is Cheng Sen. How can he judge that the owner is guilty based on the housekeeper's words? Then Cheng Guifu has feelings for his owner. Personal enmity, I intentionally confessed in that way to frame Cheng Sen." Cheng Sen responded immediately, and said, "Thanks to Huang Jietai's insight, otherwise I would really have made Cheng Guifu to death!" "Slap" slammed the case, and shouted loudly: "Shut up! I'll talk to you later!" Several people all shut up. "Liu Wang, tell me, is it August 15th or August 16th?" "August 15th!" "August 16th!" Cheng Sen pushed back immediately, "All the farmers can testify." Li Fu snorted and asked, "Who can come forward to prove it?" Cheng Sen looked out and gathered around the entrance A few people in ragged clothes stumbled in and knelt down in a swarm, chattering wildly, saying, "Master Cheng has been wronged! We were all there for a drink on August 15th, and Liu Laoshuan was there too. I didn't see him eating." What arsenic?" Li Fu turned his face away, his tone became extremely severe, and asked Liu Wangshi: "What do you mean?" "Master Qingtian!" Liu Wang's face was ashen, he climbed and knelt for two steps, pointing to several witnesses and crying, "They are all pointing at the people who eat in the Cheng family's Diantian. Cheng Sen said that August 16 , Do they dare to say August 15th? On the night of August 15th, there is a good moon. I took two brothers from my family to Cheng’s house to bring back my father and my two sons. Master, ask a few villagers to ask, do you still remember this kind of day wrong?" She wailed loudly, "My dead father...my son, my darling...hehe... Ah..." The pitiful cries filled the courtyard, and everyone's hearts were aroused and tightened.A few young men from outside also squeezed in, and said in a hurry: "My name is Wang Erzhu, and I live in the same village as Liu Wang. I can prove that old Liu died on August 15th..." "Crying so that the whole village is crying, who doesn't know about this?" "My mother even brought mooncakes to Laoshuan's house to watch!" "I live in Liu Village and carry the dead, August 15th, that's right!" Li Fu sneered, turned his face suddenly, and asked, "Cheng Sen, tell me, why did you change the date privately, eh?!" "...Maybe, I misremembered..." "You are too smart." Li Fu said coldly with the corners of his lips hanging sarcastically, "The date is set to August 16th, and the witnesses are limited to those from your Cheng family It’s a trick, but it’s a pity that the day of August 15th is too easy to remember, and it’s a pity that you, Cheng Sen, can’t cover the sky with one hand, you can only bully your tenants, and you can’t cover up others!” Cheng Sen seemed to have been beaten with a sap, and his whole body trembled. He looked around in a panic, and then looked at the witnesses who had just mentioned it. He gritted his teeth and said calmly, "Even if it is eight On the fifteenth day of the month, that’s what happened anyway, he committed suicide, and I didn’t force him to take the medicine..." Li Fu smiled ferociously, and said, "Didn't you rape Mrs. Liu?" "No." Cheng Sen glanced at Huang Lun, lowered his head, his tone was no longer so domineering.Li Fu turned his gaze to Liu Wangshi.Liu Wangshi was seen to be looking down at the cracks in the bricks, she opened her mouth a few times before muttering: "He...he..." She took a peek at the crowd at the gate of the yamen, but did not say anything.Huang Lun, who was sitting on the west side, clapped the case and shouted: "Today in court, you are hesitating and talking in a trance. What kind of heart do you have?" Li Fu glanced at Huang Lun, and told Ghoshha: "Take the witness down to secure a bond, and those people at the door step back!" The yamen servants agreed and came to bring the witness.But the crowd gathered at the door heard about the adultery, and they became more and more fascinated. They pushed away from one side, and rushed up from the other side, and they couldn't be driven away.It was still a master who had a way, took a bowl of ink, dipped it with a brush, stood at the entrance of the hall, and sprinkled it drippingly.Those in the front who had ink on their faces and bodies immediately backed away, and those who stretched their necks and listened to the excitement suddenly squeezed together.Li Fu said to Liu Wang: "This is a court. You have to say something and say something, so that you can close the case for you. Chunqiu doesn't blame how many martyrs died of humiliation. Since it is rape, there is nothing to be ashamed of." .You just tell the truth and don't have scruples." "Yes..." Mrs. Liu swallowed, "I was called by his needleworker, who said he helped make winter clothes... My father has been there several times to beg him not to reduce the rent, I thought I went to help make winter clothes, or I could see my wives and grandmas for a favor. I was doing needlework in their west wing room, but somehow I was left alone in the room. He... he came in and started doing things. , first he was talking crazy, I ignored him, then he... hugged me violently, pulled my pants with one hand, and touched my breast with one hand - I called Husha, and no one came in... Then... Then he ruined me I scratched a few times on his thigh, I don't know if I caught any marks..." She was so ashamed that she couldn't continue, and lowered her head again. "It's easy to handle." Huang Lun said beside him, "Since I grabbed him, I just need to check whether he is injured or not!" Liu Wangshi suddenly raised her head and stared at Huang Lun with dead eyes. She suddenly lost her shyness, stiffened her neck, her pale lips trembled, and said loudly, "Master Huang! How much money did you get from Cheng Sen? You—you He is still a student and an official! The imprints caught three years ago can still be tested now? You are so shameless, you will die as soon as you die, I simply take it all out, you cheated me and promised to avenge my grievances, why did you change your mind later? ?” As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked.Li Fu, Liu Qing, Shouwu and all the yamen servants shot all their eyes at Huang Lun, their faces were pale, like ghosts and gods in the temple, and there was a dead silence in the lobby. The ground turned sallow, without a trace of blood, and it took a while to come back to his senses. He slammed the case with a "slap", and shouted: "You fart! It can be seen that the inspector did not misunderstand you, you stinky bitch, how dare you So bloody! Come on!" "Yes!" Several people from the yamen immediately agreed thunderously. "Serve with a big stick!" "Zha!" "Slow down." Li Fu had already stood up, such a turn in the case was beyond his expectation, what should he do now?He frowned and thought nervously for a while, then relaxed a bit, and said with a smile: "Master Huang, don't be impatient. It won't be too late to ask for more punishment—Mr. Liu Wang, you must know that you are suing the government with the people, first You are already guilty, think about it clearly!" At this time, Liu Wang ignored everything, stared at Huang Lun and said: "The woman is a broken person, and she is worthless. As long as the blood debt of my family of three is dealt with fairly, I will take all the crimes!" Pointing at Huang Lun, "You were interrogating me in the second hall. You said, Cheng Sen gave you money. You don't care about it, but there are some? At that time, I kowtowed and said, 'My lord doesn't love money, the prince is forever', your hands Pull me up, your dirty face is disgusting! You say...you say..." "You vicious and rascal whore! Shut up!" Huang Lun shouted, "Look at your appearance, who would appreciate you?" Li Fu smiled and said, "Don't rush to ask, let her finish— Liu Wangshi, what did he say?" Liu Wangshi said: "He said, 'You are really good-looking... My fourth concubine is also inferior...' He also said that as long as we have a 'spring breeze' with him Guaranteed to win my case... My lord, I am not human... In order to avenge my son, I will obey..." Li Fu gave Huang Lun a cold look, and was about to speak when Huang Lun asked viciously: "What proof do you have? I can't tell, I peeled your skin!" Li Fu asked again: "Yes. Do you have any evidence? Proof?" "What proof do you need for this kind of thing?" Liu Wang cried while covering her face, sobbed for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I saw it, there is a cinnabar mark on the left side of his navel, and there are red hairs on it. Also, there is a black mole the size of a copper coin on the left side of his 'that'. The Red Hair Story is half the size of a palm—my lord, check it out, if he doesn't have it, I will plead guilty to this false accusation!" This proved Huang Lun to death, Huang Lun's face turned ashen immediately, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.Everyone in the lobby was dumbfounded, staring at Li Fu. "Shi Jing," Li Fu smiled slyly, calmed his face, and said in Huang Lun's words, "the case has already involved you, and there is a difference between true and false. Please avoid Shi Jing and follow me to the second Tang, I still have something to say." Huang Lun was dizzy, like an idiot, stood up with straight eyes, and followed Li Fu to the back hall like a marionette.As soon as they left, there was a burst of excited chatter from the hall.Li Fu ordered Goshha who followed him to "tell them to be quiet"!While motioning for Huang Lun to sit down, he poured a cup of tea and brought it over, and said in a soft voice: "Shijing, tell the truth, I can still make you decent, and I won't make you a fool of yourself, otherwise, think about it." Look, I can't enforce the law impartially under the eyes of all eyes. In fact, I have a clear mind about this case-the witnesses I called are useless at all. If you make a mistake to the end, I will also There is no way to set it up. Because this case was approved by the emperor, I can't leave it alone." Huang Lun seemed to have returned to his soul at this moment. He glanced at Li Fu with a smirk full of hatred, and held his shaved forehead with both hands, without saying a word. "Think about it again." ... "Well?" ... "Aren't you willing to recruit?" ... Li Fu was furious, and shouted angrily: "Shame on you, I can't help you! Come on, undress Master Huang!" "Zha!" Several Goshhas immediately rushed over like hungry tigers, Huang Lun instinctively flashed, and shouted strangely: "I am a third-rank official of the imperial court, and I can be killed but not humiliated. Who dares?! Li Fu chuckled and said, "You are a 'shi'? You are a pig! I will humiliate you today!" He said with a wave of his hand.The Geshkhs had never done this job before, and it was novel and funny. The two held down the struggling adult, and the rest of the hands and feet were untied and torn, and he was stripped naked in an instant.Sure enough, there is a piece of red and fluffy cinnabar on the lower left side of Huang Lun's navel.Then he opened his leg, and the black mole scar was clearly in sight. Li Fu didn't say anything, turned around and returned to the lobby.Buzzing, buzzing, and buzzing, the hall immediately fell silent.He stood on the public seat and took a breath, as if he was about to let out his chaotic thoughts. After a while, he calmed down and announced loudly through gritted teeth: "Huang Lun has already recruited! Cheng Sen, why did you collude with him to overturn the case? I really—” He slammed the soundboard hard, and even the sonorous and forceful word “speaking” was “slapped” out. "I recruit..." Cheng Sen's face was pale, and he collapsed on the ground like mud, "I and he are colleagues on the Jiangxi Salt Road. The first time I gave you three hundred taels of silver, but he refused to take it. Later, I told you that it was an old business, and I gave it to you." He gave me one thousand taels of silver, so he overturned the case for me..." Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in the public seat, and ordered: "Give him a pledge!" While holding a pen in his hand, he quickly wrote a letter of approval on the copy. According to Cheng Sen's case, the criminal was originally an official of the imperial court who was in charge of the registration system. He dared to take advantage of the power in Yurou Township, lured the daughter-in-law of the tenant Liu Laoshuan's family to the house in broad daylight, and forcibly raped Liu Laoshuan's grandson and grandson. Suicide with hatred.He also bribed Huang Lun, a senior official in the imperial court, with the intention of exonerating the crime.Extinguishing the laws of heaven and putting power in the back made Liu Wang's family have three fates for a long time, which is a crime that cannot be punished.He was sentenced to beheaded and decided to report to the Ministry of punishment for detailed approval of execution.Huang Lun, as a member of the court's judiciary, was shamelessly corrupt, threatened to rape civilian women, and blatantly played tricks, but Min refused to die and was immediately imprisoned. After finishing writing, he took over the pledged pleadings and browsed briefly, glanced at the crowd, and read out the verdict aloud.Immediately, tens of thousands of people outside cheered together, Liu Wang's face was full of tears, and hissed loudly: "Master Qingtian made a clear decision! Master Li, Lord and Lord Wandai..." Interspersed with the vague wailing and cursing of Cheng Sen's family... Just at this time, a Goshha hurried out of the back hall, and whispered to Li Fu: "Prince Bao, and Li Wei, the governor of Liangjiang, is here to sign and wait for the adults in the back room." Li Fu's face was expressionless. , just nodded, until the people dispersed, then slowly said: "Let's retreat!"
