Chapter 71 Liu Li's True Identity

The day was not long. After another meal was provided at noon, Dian Wei and Guo Jia went to the yamen and the four of them began to prepare supper.

After a busy day, Guo Jia, as the accountant, began to sort out today's expenses; Dian Wei was responsible for cleaning and chores, and soon Liu Li changed his clothes and came to help.

"It seems that there is still someone who specializes in helping with washing dishes, etc...." Wang Yong muttered while washing dishes.

When the business was not very good in the past, I just washed the dishes while bored. Now the traffic of customers has begun to increase and the workload has increased a lot. However, Dian Wei only came here after going to the yamen in the afternoon, which is obviously not enough.

When it comes to candidates, first of all, I think of Chen Ji and Fang Xin who came to interview earlier. Liu Li has good abilities, and the other two should not be much worse. Then there is Wen Qin, the grandson of the old fisherman Wen Shang, who is a pity that he is only five years old.

It was late at night, and Wang Yong had already practiced his basic skills and went to see the crops in the yard as usual.

"Damn it!" After a brief look, I found that insect holes appeared on the crop, and many leaves had traces of being bitten by insects. After searching carefully, I caught a locust and trampled to death!

This is an adult locust, not small in size, and it should have flew from other places. This is very bad. Having one means more. When you think about it carefully, Wang Yong seems to remember that in history, there seems to be a locust plague in the past two years!

I don’t know which year it was, after all, which year did not have locusts? Fortunately, it was not difficult for him to understand, so he went directly to the second floor, came outside Guo Jia’s room, and knocked on the door.

"Fengxiao, have you fallen asleep?" Wang Yong couldn't help asking when he heard something inside.

"Not... the owner... is there anything wrong?" Guo Jia's voice came out, and it seemed that he didn't plan to open the door. It was not surprising that a man knocked on a girl's door at night, and this scene would definitely make people think a lot.

It is not difficult to hear that Guo Jia’s reply is actually really panicked at this moment.

"Are the locusts in Yanzhou very active recently? There are even signs of locust plagues vaguely?" Wang Yong asked directly, so as not to continue to be frightened.

"The locusts..." Guo Jia heard this and his tone returned to normal, and he felt relieved. "Recently, the locust activities in various counties have begun to become active, and perhaps a locust plague will really occur. The lord has also begun to worry about this in the past two days."

"Is there a solution?" Wang Yong continued to ask.

"It's nothing more than organizing the people to catch them, or sending troops to catch them. On the one hand, there is a tradition of worshiping the locust gods, believing that locusts are disasters caused by God and it is difficult to directly intervene.

If you mobilize the army, you should also beware of Lu Bu's sudden sneak attack. The key is that he lacked funds and military rations earlier, so it was difficult to do it easily... Now it seems that the army is being mobilized, and Man Cheng and Zhongde from the people have begun to make arrangements!" Guo Jia replied slowly.

"Indeed, those who were short of money and food before were indeed not easy to act." Wang Yong nodded. Many things seemed to be able to explain. For example, why Cao Cao had to come to recruit him in person after he refused because of a recipe. When military rations were insufficient, it was easy to have problems in the previous period.

However, this kind of recruitment is based on emergency response. In other words, if the crisis disappears and she is not successful and cannot get her recognition, she may still be "dismissed". After all, this is a feudal society. Whether the monarch needs one person or not, a verbal "promise" is actually completely meaningless!

Fortunately, I suddenly realized this, but with my current performance, even if Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied, he would not fire himself in the end! Wang Yong weighed it and silently warned himself.

"Okay, nothing is going to happen, take a break early!" Wang Yong, who already knew the situation, naturally would not continue to disturb Guo Jia's rest. He said goodbye and returned to the room.

"Oh, oh..." Guo Jia responded subconsciously, then he was a little confused: Is that just that?

I have heard of many fragrant and erotic stories that knocked on the door in the middle of the night, but this time it seemed to happen to her. However, the ending of the story is actually like this, completely different from what I had heard before.

"Maybe, the owner is a real good person!" Guo Jia told himself this. After all, he can't think that he has no charm to attract men, right? The owner also knows his physical condition and doesn't think he plans to force himself...

But this night was destined to be a sleepless night for her!

At the same time, Wang Yong, who returned to the room, took his clothes to wash, then returned to the room to rest. Not long after he fell asleep, Liu Li's door opened, and she walked out with her changing clothes, looked carefully, and then went to wash.

"When will I appear in front of everyone as a woman?" Liu Li sighed.

Then, she fell into memories: she was raised by her grandmother since she was a child. On the day she was twelve, she was called to her father. Her father had been in poor health, and she was only in her thirties and was very weak. Since she ascended the throne at the age of ten, she has only two children under her knees, one is her brother and the other is her. At that time, her name was Liu Xie!

"Xie'er, are you here?" When he came to his father's bedroom, Liu Hong, who is the Spirit Emperor, looked at Liu Xie.

"Son, please see your father!" Liu Xie came to Liu Hong and saluted solemnly.

"There is no need to be so reserved between you and me." Looking at her daughter's restrained appearance, Liu Hong felt a little heartbroken. Because of her physical problems, she could not take care of herself, so she could only entrust her mother to take care of her. The latter has also entered old age and has been living a little short of years.

He paused and continued, "This time I asked you to come here, but there is something that needs to be explained to you! Since the beginning, I have begged my mother to show you to others as a man. I hope you will also appear as a man in the future!"

"Why?" Liu Xie has been asking about this question. She has only recently realized that she is actually a girl, but why did she pretend to be a boy since she was a child?

"Because there are some people in the court with ulterior motives, they hope that your brother can succeed the throne, you are a daughter, according to tradition, you should succeed the throne... I am worried that they will take action against you!" Liu Hong replied.

"But, can't brother succeed to the throne?" Liu Xie didn't understand why, especially his father succeeded to the throne as a man.

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, men have succeeded to the throne, but they have all returned to the ancient race, so they have this opportunity. Your brother is not a man who returns to the ancient race. If the man asked him to inherit, he would eventually become a puppet of some people with heart." Liu Hong shook his head, then took a deep breath, and continued, "And you are a woman. According to habits, you are the most qualified to succeed to the throne. But the problem is that some people will not want to see you succeed to the throne, and the first thing they are to bear is your mother!"

"Why?" Liu Xie, who was still young at the time, couldn't understand why his mother hurt him.

"It's very simple!" Liu Hong was a little embarrassed, "Because she is not your biological mother, you were born to me and a Wang woman. When you were born, He knew about your existence and poisoned Wang. In order to avoid you being poisoned, I gave you to Empress Dowager Dong to raise you and claimed to the public that you are a man, which allowed you to grow up healthily until now."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong started coughing suddenly, but fortunately, he forced himself to suppress the cough after a while.

"Some people hope to push your brother to the position and then become her puppet, and even change the dynasty. It is possible! According to my understanding, there seems to be a group of people secretly hoping to support you to the position, even if you are a man! This group of people is more dangerous and more hidden, and seems to be planning a huge plan!" Liu Hong slowly recalled that if it had not been investigated, he would have to push Liu Xie to the position at all costs.

For this purpose, he also established the Eight Captains of Xiyuan, which gave Liu Xieneng military power. But now it is not possible. After knowing that a huge conspiracy is slowly brewing, he decided to take a risk to make a move, for his daughter and the Wang family whom he owed!

"I have arranged fifty confidants and will send you out later. Kong Rong, Qingzhou and Tao Qian, Xuzhou, are all truly loyal ministers. You can go to surrender to one of them, and then show your identity and ask them to help you. If you don't even think they are trusting... just hide your name and live a good life as an ordinary person, and then find a man who is absolutely trustworthy, and marry. I think no one can think that you are actually a woman!" Liu Hong smiled faintly. His layout back then, unexpectedly, became a glimmer of hope.

"Father, I won't leave! I can't bear to leave you!" Liu Xie's brain was a little overwhelmed at the time, but he instinctively didn't want to leave his father, just like a chick. They knew very well that they could not survive independently and instinctively would seek the protection of their parents.

"Let's go!" Liu Hong shook his head and clapped his hands. Then more than fifty people took Liu Xie away with him with packages.

Time went back about a month later, fifty followers were chased by strange men in black, and the last guard was sacrificed to cover her escape. Fortunately, Liu Xie fell into the river and was finally rescued by a family and placed there.

In fact, the family was not kind-hearted. They had a son, and unfortunately, they found out that Liu Xie was a woman. This was the plan to raise Liu Xie as a child bride!

However, their son was a righteous man named Xu Huang. He was only eight years old at the time and already understood the word "benevolence and righteousness". He could not do it when he took advantage of others' danger.

So he secretly sent Liu Xie away, but when he returned home, he found a group of men in black burning his house. He vaguely saw his parents lying in the house, blood flowing all over the floor.

He wanted to kill all the men in black at that time, but he didn't want to be suppressed by Liu Xie, who turned back to see the situation. After that day, Xu Huang became Liu Xie's brother and followed Liu Xie to Xuzhou to find Tao Qian.

When he arrived in Xuzhou, he planned to defect to Tao Qian, but he didn't expect that by chance, Xu Huang recognized someone among Tao Qian's guests. He was one of the men in black in the past, or even the leader. Depending on the situation, he had a good relationship with Tao Qian.

It seems that it is obviously not enough to defect to Tao Qian, and Kong Rong may not believe it. So the two stayed in Pengcheng, Liu Xie became a doorman, Xu Huang helped to work as a handyman to make some money, and at the same time it was convenient to monitor the man in black nearby. According to observations for many days, the man in black seemed to have some relationship with Wanshiwu.

I’m afraid they would never have thought that the person they were looking for would become a doorman in Wanshi House!

This year, Xu Huang seized an opportunity and attacked the drunk man in black. He planned to continue to question the person behind the scenes, but he did not expect the man in black to commit suicide directly, and the clues were interrupted.

In order to avoid the incident being exposed, the two decided to leave after negotiation, and this is what happened to the follow-up.
