Jushou said respectfully: "Going back to my lord, my subordinates also asked about Yidu, and then they found out that there are some southern barbarians living in the three counties of Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang."
Nanman is the collective name for the ethnic minorities living in the south of the Han Dynasty. The composition of Nanman is very complex. It can be roughly divided into three major tribes: Baiyue, Baipu and Bashu. They are widely distributed in Yizhou, Yangzhou and Guangzhou. Liu Xin did not expect that
, there are actually Nanman living in Jingzhou under his jurisdiction.
Liu Xin knew that violence was an important factor affecting social stability. He did not want problems to arise in the rear when he was fighting for the Central Plains, so he quickly asked: "So, why did the Wuling Man rebel? What is the situation now?"
Jushou handed over the urgent report from Kuai Liang and said: "Back to my lord, the rebellion of the Wuling barbarians was entirely caused by a small incident. Now General Jide has dispatched troops to suppress it."
Kuai Liang's urgent report was not very detailed. The general meaning was that a nobleman in Wuling had an affair with a barbarian woman. Later, the barbarian woman committed suicide by drowning in the river, and the family members came to the nobleman's home to argue.
, was outnumbered and was beaten violently, which ultimately triggered the barbarian rebellion.
Although Liu Xin has been in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than six years, she still doesn't understand many customs, let alone the laws. The trial and conviction of cases have always been handled by Ju Shao, Tian Feng and others. Liu Xin only remembers
, in his original era, adultery could only be regarded as moral corruption, not a crime. He didn't understand why it happened like this.
Even though he heard that Zhang Fei had led troops to quell the rebellion, Liu Xin still couldn't rest assured. Jingzhou was his foundation. The rapid development in recent years was closely related to the peaceful environment. He must do everything possible to bring it to justice.
Once the situation calms down, there must be no chaos.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin muttered: "My lord, I want to go to Wuling to handle this matter in person."
Jushou still had fresh memories of what Liu Xin said a few days ago. In his mind, Liu Xin was not only involved in Jingzhou, but the people of the whole world. He must not make any mistakes. He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "My Lord,
, with Mr. Zirou and General Jide here, it should be calmed down soon, so there is no need for the lord to personally take action."
Liu Xin understood that since these barbarians lived in Jingzhou, the various policies he implemented should be able to benefit them. Under such circumstances, ethnic rebellions still occurred, which shows that the Han and barbarian tribes already had some differences in their daily lives.
More or less contradictory, this adultery incident may be just a trigger or not, so he waved his hand and said: "Gong Yu, you don't need to say it anymore, I must go this time. Not only Wuling, I
We also need to go to Lingling and Guiyang to get in touch with the barbarian tribes there to understand their demands and difficulties. Han people and barbarians are all our people. As long as we all live in harmony, the country will be better.
Only then can there be long-term peace and stability. If there is anything important during the few days I leave Xiangyang, you must send someone to report to Jingnan immediately."
Seeing that Liu Xin had made up his mind, Jushou stopped trying to persuade him and hurriedly left to help Liu Xin prepare for the trip.
Ma Yun heard Liu Xin say that she was going to Wuling to resolve the barbarian rebellion, and she had no objection. She and Liu Xin had the same idea. The world was about to be destroyed, and the rear must be stabilized. However, she still told Liu Xin carefully: "The Southern Barbarians
The appearance of the people is not very different from that of the Han people, but their customs, temperament, diet, and clothing are different. You must be careful when you go there. You should mainly appease the barbarian people and do not resort to excessive use of force.
.I heard that barbarian women are passionate. You should be careful when you go this time and don’t let them be enchanted.”
After hearing this, Bian Yu and Cai Yan covered their mouths and snickered. Discussing Liu Xin's trip was his family matter. It had nothing to do with Cai Jue, and they didn't know which of her nerves made the mistake of following Cai Jue.
Yan also came to the hall in the backyard.
Cai Jue has lived in the Prefectural Mufu for three years. Now she has grown into a slim and beautiful girl, but her face is getting softer. When she heard this kind of joke between the couple, she couldn't help but lower her head shyly. When she was at home in the past,
, Cai Jue once heard her brother and sister-in-law talk about the new Mr. Zhou Mu, and mentioned how lustful he was many times. Who knew that three years had passed by in a flash, but Mr. Zhou Mu had never laid a finger on her.
Boss, except for Qiaoer, he has not touched any other maids in the house. Unlike her brother, Concubine Ji has more than 20 rooms, and almost none of the hundreds of maids in the house can escape his grasp. Cai Jue is now
I couldn't tell whether I wanted Liu Xin to be a gentleman or a lecher.
I just heard Liu Xin said with a face: "Barbarian girls are really passionate? Then I have to bring a few back, so that when you cry out that you can't bear it again, I can also find a place to calm down. Besides, this is also comforting.
It’s a means.”
Ma Yun said angrily: "Don't have sweet dreams. This time you go to Wuling and take Qiao'er with you, so you can have someone by your side to take care of you."
After hearing this, Qiaoer was secretly happy. Although she was now a married woman, Liu Xin didn't go to her room many times on weekdays. Recently, the second lady, the third lady and Mrs. Qian were pregnant together. Her
There were more opportunities. Qiaoer, who gradually tasted the benefits, wished that Liu Xin would take her with him every day. Ma Yun also had some difficulties. Last time Liu Xin went to Jingnan for more than a month, he almost didn't bother her when he came back.
When the fight broke out, Bian Yu and Zhu Qian shared the burden that time. Now that they are both pregnant with Liujia, they can't bear it alone. It's better to let Qiaoer accompany him, so as not to make him feel like he hasn't seen human flesh for months.
's cat.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xin refused: "No. I'm not at home. You have to work here and there. How can you do it without someone useful around you? Qiao'er can't go."
Bian Yu said: "Master, my wife is right. When you go out from now on, you must have a few waiters around you. Otherwise, let Ying'er accompany the master."
There are quite a few pretty maids in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, but not many of them are stunningly beautiful. The only ones Liu Xin likes are Qiao'er, Ying'er and Ling'er. Ying'er has been around since she was eight years old.
Bian Yu followed her as soon as she got up. Bian Yu had already regarded her as his sister, otherwise he would not have asked Liu Xin to redeem her from the world of drunkenness. Not only that, Bian Yu also deliberately let her follow Qiaoer's path.
I want to be Liu Xin's maid. Ying'er has also had this idea for a long time. Just now I heard the lady said that Qiao'er should accompany the master to Jingnan. Her heart was still a little sore, but now she was full of love.
When Liu Xin heard this, she turned to look at Ying'er and saw her charming eyes. When Liu Xin saw Ying'er for the first time, she was just a twelve-year-old girl, and her eyes were already watery and seductive.
Xinpo, now that five years have passed, has become even more charming and charming. Liu Xin was disturbed by the sight and said hurriedly: "How can that be done? Pi'er is young and you are inconvenient. How can Ying'er stay away from you?"
Cai Yan said with a smile: "Husband, don't shirk it. We sisters have already discussed it. You must have a useful person by your side this time. I think I will let Ling'er go. There is
Xiu'er is here and sister Cai Jue is helping you, so you should rest assured."
"Ah?" Cai Jue kept his head down and was lost in thought. When he suddenly heard Cai Yan mention her, he couldn't help but was startled. He understood immediately and nodded very seriously.
Ma Yun smiled and said: "That's it, let Ling'er accompany you. If you don't think it's enough, bring Xiu'er with you. Anyway, sister Zhaoji has no shortage of people around her, and her mother often comes here too.
.”
After hearing this, Ling'er's heart was pounding. Liu Xin made a rule in the house. When the maids reach the age of twenty, they must be given slaves as wives. In the past two years, more than twenty maids have been married.
Allotted to domestic slaves. Ling'er is already nineteen years old this year. If he can accompany Liu Xin to Jingnan this time, it will be a God-given opportunity. Ling'er also understands that even if he can be taken in by Liu Xin, he is just a common roommate.
Although she has the status of a maid, at least her children don't have to be slaves as maids. Who among the maids in the house doesn't envy Qiao'er.
Liu Xin also knew that Ma Yun did not really want to send someone to watch him, but she knew that his needs were too strong, so he made such an arrangement. Liu Xin was not willing to live in this matter anymore.
How entangled, he only remembered that Liu Hong died in the sixth year of Zhongping, but he could not remember exactly what month Liu Hong died. But Liu Xin remembered very clearly that shortly after Liu Hong died, He Jin would send out a message,
Calling all the princes of the world to come to Beijing to kill the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo took advantage of this opportunity to take control of the government. As a result, the world was in chaos and the people were displaced. Therefore, time was very tight and he could not delay even a minute. He had to set off immediately, so he said: "Okay
, then take Ling'er with you. Ling'er, pack up quickly and follow me to Jiangling immediately."
Ling'er hurriedly walked out, and Xiu'er also rushed over to help her sister pack her things. Liu Xin held Ma Yun's hand and said, "Honey, you have to work hard at home again."
Ma Yun said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, please be careful along the way."
Liu Yu suddenly hugged Liu Xin's thigh and said, "Dad, I want to go with you too."
Liu Xin looked at her tough-looking son, laughed, and said: "Yu'er, there will be many opportunities to go out with dad in the future. Now, what you have to do is to help your mother with your sister to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and do your homework.
Don’t leave it behind. Dad will check it when he comes back. If you don’t do it well, be careful of your butt blossoming!”
Hearing that he was going to check his homework, Liu Yu pouted and stopped talking. In fact, he was only seven years old this year and would not go to the academy to study until the summer. However, Ma Yun was very strict in his discipline, and there was an old man A Chou who came to compete with him.
He has learned a lot now. Liu Xin did not agree with letting children learn knowledge so early, but she couldn't resist Ma Yun, so she had to give up.
Dian Wei had already gathered all the guards Liu Xin needed for his trip and were waiting outside the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. This time when he went to Jingnan, Liu Xin only brought Dian Wei and 300 flying tiger guards with him. There were Zhang Fei and Zhang He.
A good army, no matter what happens, should be enough to deal with it.
Although this time we were only going to Wuling, there was only one girl, Ling'er, in the team, so there were many inconveniences. Cai Yan and the Ling'er sisters had known each other for several years, and they had feelings for each other, so he temporarily gave her his carriage.
This carriage is exquisitely designed, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build. Liu Xin still needs to do many things personally, so so far there are only one for each of the four ladies.
Ling'er's face was full of joy, standing at the door and watching the guards carrying boxes one by one onto the carriage.
Liu Xin asked: "Ling'er, why are you bringing so many things? It's like giving out a dowry."
Ling'er's face turned red and she lowered her head, not daring to answer.
In order to get on the road quickly, Liu Xin also rolled up his sleeves to help. He casually picked up the box beside the carriage. The box was not big and square, but it was quite heavy. It weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "It's such a heavy box, what's in it? Open it and let me see."
