Liu Biao has been in a good mood recently. Liu Cong defeated Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, forcing them to cede territory and form an alliance. Yi Ji also came back and confirmed the wedding date of Liu Cong and Sun Shangxiang.
The expansion of territory and the engagement of his son came together, and the more Liu Biao thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Cong was up to par.
In a good mood, he also released the ban on Liu Qi.
At this moment, Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai were fishing in the backyard. The maids and servants who were waiting on them lit the stove and waited for Liu Biao to fish in the raw materials.
"Madam, look, there are a lot of these fish." Liu Biao used to keep some ornamental fish in the backyard pond. Later, when Mrs. Cai married to the Prefectural Mufu, she replaced the ornamental fish with some edible carp, snakehead fish, etc.
Although I often come here to fish, there are no natural enemies in the pond and the fish can reproduce very well. Therefore, the number of fish in the pond has never dropped sharply, but has been increasing.
Mrs. Cai held the fishing rod in her hand and looked in the direction of Liu Biao's finger: "Husband, you must catch a big fish today to replenish your health."
"Okay... I'm hooked!" Just when Liu Biao was about to answer, the fish took the bait.
Liu Biao tightened the fishing rod, and Cai Jing, who was beside him, ran to the pond and caught the fish in his hand: "My lord, it's a carp, it's a foot and a half long!"
After putting the fish into the fish basket, Cai Jing took the fish basket and ran to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao looked into the fish basket and said, "Ah! What a big fish. Madam, look at it. This fish is so big!"
Mrs. Cai glanced into the fish basket and said, "This is a good sign, husband, maybe something good will happen again."
Liu Biao looked at Mrs. Cai and smiled fondly and said: "No good thing happens every day. It is a good thing for me that my wife is with me."
Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai were old and young. Liu Biao could be said to be extremely doting on Mrs. Cai, and he would do almost anything Mrs. Cai asked for.
This is also an important reason why the Cai family was able to gain power in Jingzhou.
Mrs. Cai had a rare blush on her face: "Xuan'er is lucky to be able to marry her husband."
The two looked at each other and smiled, all their emotions intertwined in each other's eyes.
"My lord, there is a letter from the second young master." Cai Jing saw the boy at the door with three sergeants and said to Liu Biao.
"Oh? Where is the person? Call me over." Liu Biao changed into a comfortable position and lay on the recliner.
This thing was made by Liu Cong's order. Thinking of this, Liu Biao felt a little more happy. He even thought about what good news Liu Cong would bring him this time.
"See you, my lord!" the boy led the three sergeants to Liu Biao's side and saluted.
"Oh, get up, Cai Jing, please read it and see if Cong'er has anything to tell me?" Liu Biao glanced sideways at a few people.
"My lord, the second young master said you'd better read this letter in person." The guard who came came holding the book bag and said.
Mrs. Cai smiled and said, "Why is this child Cong'er so mysterious?"
Liu Biao moved the fishing rod and turned to look at several people. The sergeant at the head was holding a book bag, and the two behind him each held a box.
"There have been no wars or major events recently?" Liu Biao thought to himself as he lay on the recliner and really didn't want to get up or interrupt the comfort of this moment.
"Cai Jing, take it out and read it," Liu Biao said to Cai Jing.
"No." Cai Jing took the book bag from the sergeant's hand, opened it and took out the silk book, stretched it out and raised his voice and said, "My child, Liu Cong, pay homage to your father from afar."
"After I arrived in Jiangling, I was under the control of others in everything I did in Jiangling. What's more, I even directly told my son to ask the governor Cai Mao for instructions! I really don't understand, which family is Jiangling? Jingzhou, which family is Jingzhou?"
After reading this, Cai Jing stopped, and Mrs. Cai's expression changed. Liu Biao didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so he lay on the recliner, rocked back and forth and said, "Continue to read."
"Most of Jiangling's civil and military officials only knew Governor Cai, but not his father. Most of the officers in the army were Cai's cronies. That day, I asked the Cai brothers, Zhong and He, for military power, but they ignored him and even clashed with him at Zhoumu.
Inside the mansion.”
"That night, Er summoned all the civil and military officials in Jiangling to hold a banquet, hoping to get close to the Cai brothers. The two actually led troops to surround the prefecture's pastoral office and led soldiers in front of Er!"
"Son, son..." Cai Jingnian came here and looked at Mrs. Cai, then at Liu Biao.
"They are so brave! They dare to use troops against Cong'er! Husband, I will tell them later not to be angry." Mrs. Cai's face was already extremely ugly.
Liu Biao looked at Mrs. Cai with a smile and said, "Back then, I rode into Jingzhou alone, thanks to the support of the Cai family. Let's first listen to how Cong'er handled it."
Liu Biao did not expect that this was what Liu Cong was talking about. He knew that the Cai family and other aristocratic families were in a serious situation, but he could not deal with it and could only win over them because he relied on the support of these people.
At this moment, Liu Biao already regretted letting Cai Jing recite it, but now that Mrs. Cai heard it, he couldn't hide it from her, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Keep reciting it!"
"I immediately questioned the two of them, and ordered Pang Tong and others to subdue the two of them, and kill them... personally in front of everyone!"
"Ah!" Mrs. Cai screamed, sat up straight on the recliner, and then fell straight down! She actually fainted.
"Madam? Madam?" Liu Biao stood up quickly to see Mrs. Cai.
"Call the medical officer, call the medical officer quickly!"
There is another commotion in the backyard!
For a long time, Mrs. Cai lay on the bed while several medical officers examined and treated her.
"How is Madam?" Liu Biao looked at the medical officer and asked.
Several people bowed to Liu Biao and said, "It's just a matter of urgency. I'll prescribe some medicine later and boil it down for my wife to eat."
"Back off!"
"promise!"
Several medical officers withdrew, and Liu Biao took Cai Jing out of the room.
"Take good care of your wife, and if you make any mistakes, you will be severely punished!" Liu Biao ordered several maids in the courtyard.
"promise."
When they arrived at the front yard, Liu Biao asked Cai Jing, "Where are the messengers?"
"Waiting there." Cai Jing replied.
"Call over here!"
"promise!"
Several sergeants followed Cai Jing again and came to Liu Biao.
"Those two boxes, are they the heads of the two Cai brothers?" Liu Biao only remembered what Liu Cong said in the letter when he saw the two boxes.
"Yes."
"Cong'er, he killed them personally?" Liu Biao was a little surprised.
"Yes."
"Tell me the whole story without revealing anything!"
After another two quarters of an hour, Liu Biao listened to the sergeant's entire story.
"He killed more than two thousand people?"
"Yes, together with those people's families! Except women and children."
"Really kill them all?"
"Yes, we personally escorted him to the execution ground."
"Oh my god, how dare this traitor do this?" Liu Biao looked at Cai Jing in disbelief and asked.
"Stand back!"
"promise!"
Liu Biao held his forehead and thought through his thoughts.
It was a pleasure to kill Liu Cong in Jiangling, but the mess left behind was very difficult for Liu Biao to deal with.
Liu Biao still hopes to win over the support of aristocratic families, but Liu Cong only has one idea: to unify Jingzhou and defeat Cao Cao. Anyone who stands in his way will die!
"Lord Zhou Mu, Madam is awake." The maid hurried over to report.
