Liu Xin has known Ying'er for many years, but has never asked her last name, because he knows that these people who have been reduced to slaves often have painful experiences and are not willing to mention their past. But since that night
On the bed, after learning Ying'er's surname, Liu Xin had a strange feeling when she saw her again. She always felt that one day, her hair would turn green.
Women in this era also believed in chastity, but not to the almost perverted level of the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was very common for women to remarry, especially in troubled times, beautiful women were often assigned and possessed by the winner at will, so
This situation is not considered disloyal. However, Liu Xin clearly remembers that in history, when Ying'er cuckolded Cao Cao, it seemed that she was not forced by anyone, but rather took the initiative to cheat.
When Liu Xin saw this story recorded in the unofficial history, she once thought that it was probably because Cao Cao had so many women that he neglected Lai Ying'er, so she would cheat on him. Now that he thinks about it, his own women are no longer there.
There was less, and it was impossible to spend too much energy on Lai Ying'er. As a man, Liu Xin was also worried that he would become the laughing stock of others, so he considered finding an opportunity for Lai Ying'er to marry another lover.
But God is not as good as man, because of that night's romance, Lai Ying'er's pregnancy was darkened, and now she is in labor. Liu Xin secretly laughed at herself that this shot was too accurate, and now Lai Ying'er is about to become a child.
Damn it, with the child in her belly as a tie, it was even more impossible for Liu Xin to get rid of her.
In the original historical process, because Liu Xin did not appear and Wei Zhongdao could not afford the gold to redeem her, Bian Yu finally failed to escape the humiliating fate of auctioning her first night in public. From that day on, she lived a lifeless life.
Zhang Shuli lived until she married Cao Cao two years later. Bian Yu was indeed a very remarkable woman. Although she came from a prostitute family, she was able to clean up her life after being a good person. Even in those days when Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled, and his life and death were unknown,
Many people around her advised her to enjoy herself in time, but she remained unmoved in the face of various threats and inducements. Later, she gave birth to several sons to Cao Cao and raised them all.
Bian Yu can emerge from the mud without being stained, but it does not mean that others can do the same. As the most famous Zuihongchen leader in Luoyang City, Bian Yu's patrons formed a long queue in those two years. As Bian Yu
As Jade's personal maid, Lai Ying'er naturally faced many temptations, including those with money and handsome men. Lai Ying'er was young and ignorant at the time, and she was also ignorant about the love between men and women. She lost her virginity to someone who could not control herself, and she fell into
It was hard to extricate herself. Later, she followed Bian Yu and married into the Cao Mansion. However, Cao Cao had been away from home for many years, and she was often away from her. Lai Ying'er, who couldn't stand the loneliness, finally found a cuckold for Cao Cao.
These things can only be seen in unofficial history, and the records are unclear. Liu Xin also took a random book from the owner's house during a theft, and then saw it. Even Ma Yun had never heard of this story, and Liu Xin certainly had not.
Tell her. As the protagonist of the story, Lai Ying'er didn't know that there was such a thing. Due to the appearance of Liu Xin, the fate of her and her master Bian Yu has changed. Without the "mud", naturally "
"Not stained" anymore.
Lai Ying'er's thoughts were only focused on three people now, Liu Xin, her master Bian Yu, and the child in her belly. When she saw Liu Xin coming out of the room, Lai Ying'er hurriedly greeted her, smiled happily, and said
Wanfu: "Master, why don't you just sleep for a while?"
Liu Xin put down the messy thoughts in her heart, stretched out her hand to help Ying'er up, and looked at her carefully. Ying'er's pointed chin, curved thin eyebrows, and a pair of originally big eyes narrowed into a slit when she smiled, which made her look even more obvious.
charming.
Although she was already Liu Xin's woman, Lai Ying'er was still a little embarrassed when he looked at her like this. She blushed and said, "Master, is Ying'er pregnant with a child? She is bloated and a bit ugly."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "What are you talking about? Pregnant women are the most beautiful, which represents the continuation of life and is the greatest thing in the world. But now it is autumn, and there is often cold air in the morning and evening. You
It’s time to sleep a little more.”
Feeling Liu Xin's considerate tenderness, Lai Ying'er felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. She agreed softly and said, "Madam said it is good to get up early and exercise more at this time."
In fact, she didn't remember coming for a walk so early. It was obvious that Liu Xin and Bian Yu made too much noise that night, and Lai Ying'er, who was sleeping in the next room, was tossing and turning, making it difficult to fall asleep.
While he was talking, he suddenly saw a little maid poking her head at the courtyard gate. Liu Xin recognized it at a glance as one of the four little girls he brought back from Chang'an, and couldn't help but ask: "Shi Shu, what are you doing here?"
?”
Liu Xin was very satisfied with the performance of the four little girls, so she took them all to Xiangyang. There was no arrangement for the time being, so she asked them to do odd jobs in the study first.
The servant had not yet understood the rules of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, so he did not dare to step into the small courtyard, so he had to stand at the door and said: "Master, Mr. Ju is outside asking for an audience."
Liu Xin couldn't help but frown. This Jushou was really ignorant. Why did he come so early, but he forgot that he had woken up for more than half an hour tonight.
Lai Ying'er saw Liu Xin's expression of concern and said from the side: "Master, official business is important. I will go back to the room after a while. You'd better go and take a look quickly."
Liu Xin was both surprised and happy that she could say this. She smiled and said: "Well, please be careful not to catch a cold. In addition, please ask the servants to do things more gently so as not to wake up the two."
lady."
Jushou had actually been waiting in the study for a while. When he saw Liu Xin coming in, he hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Fan has been found."
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Oh, finally there is news, where is he?"
Jushou still couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Back to my lord, Liu Fan was escorted to Xiangyang last night. This time Liu Yan's old troops in Chengdu have done a great service. They can take the initiative to hand over Liu Fan, which shows that they have firmly
I stand with my lord."
For "little shrimps" like Liu Fan, Liu Xin didn't take it too seriously. The joy just flashed by. He quickly calmed down, pointed to the chair next to him, and said: "Come, sit down and talk slowly.
,what is going on."
Jushou waited for Liu Xin to sit down, then sat down opposite him, smoothed the three long strands of beard under his chin, and said slowly: "This is what happened. Liu Fan moved to Chengdu and entrusted himself to Liu Yan's old subordinates.
In the Xi family, Pang Xixu and Wei She took advantage of his unpreparedness and captured him in one fell swoop and personally escorted him to Xiangyang. Speaking of which, Liu Fan's wife Pang was originally Pang Xi's clan sister, so what Pang Xi did was considered
Killing relatives for justice shows that my lord has won the hearts of the people in Yizhou, which is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Liu Xin knew that Ju Shou, like Tian Feng, was too kind-hearted. Although he had been in charge of the Phantom Secret Agent for so long and had seen many dark things, his nature was still hard to change, so he praised Pang Xi greatly. But Liu Xin had been in charge since he was a child.
Living at the bottom of the society, I have been exposed to many different things, and I have my own perspective on human nature.
Waving his hand gently, Liu Xin said with a smile: "I don't think Pang Xi killed his relatives out of righteousness, but acted on both sides. Gong Yu, think about it, brothers Liu Fan and Liu Dan have been away from Chang'an for more than a month.
Well, Liu Dan has already persuaded Yong Kai, Gaoding and the barbarians in Central and South China, but how could it be possible that Liu Fan has just arrived in Chengdu?"
Jushou was not stupid, he just didn't think about it. After Liu Xin's reminder, he suddenly realized: "My lord is right. Pang Xi must be hiding something. If you want to know the details, bring Liu Fan to the trial."
.”
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "There is no need to interrogate, I also know a general idea. Since Liu Fan is related to Pang Xi, he will definitely go to Pang Xi after arriving in Chengdu, but Pang Xi will not necessarily meet him, and it is very likely that he will let him go."
The domestic slave first placed Liu Fan in a secret place. Pang Xi had been watching in Chengdu and learned that I had won a great victory in Chang'an. Seeing that the situation was not good, he staged a righteous act of annihilation of relatives."
The more Jushou thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Xin's words were reasonable, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that this Pang Xi would have other intentions. I will order him to be arrested and punished severely!"
"Wait a minute!" Liu Xin knew that Jushu was upset because he had been deceived by Pang Xi, so he was confused. He raised his hand to stop him and said, "My lord, there is nothing wrong with Pang Xi doing this. Jin Wuzuchi,
No one is perfect, everyone will have selfish motives, and Pang Xi is no exception. He also has to think about his family and future. When the situation is still unclear, it is normal to have two boats. Why bother with
He cares about it. The old troops like Liu Yan no longer have military power. What big noise can be caused by just a few domestic slaves? Let them leave it up to them. As our strength increases, these people will become desperate."
Jushou looked ashamed, leaned over and said, "My lord taught me that my subordinates are a bit short-sighted. It's just that the actions of the Liu Fan brothers made my subordinates very angry."
Liu Xin's face darkened and she said, "That's right! Especially that Liu Dan, who actually promised the barbarians to form their own country and wants to split our Han Dynasty, is really unbearable. I will definitely not let these two brothers go.
Put Liu Fan in prison first and let Pang Xi live in the post house first. When Liu Fan's family members arrive from Chang'an, I will handle it myself."
After Liu Xin captured Chang'an, many of the courtiers' families, including Liu Fan's, were detained at home, awaiting punishment. Liu Xin originally meant that the crime was not as serious as his wife and children, but a group of courtiers headed by Yang Biao had already taken a clear stand.
On Liu Xin's side, he repeatedly requested that the family members of officials who followed Dong Zhuo or Wang Yun be severely punished, but Liu Xin never agreed.
Later, Jia Xu proposed a plan to pull in some of the Liangzhou tycoons and beat some of them, which inspired Liu Xin. He also wanted to pull in some of these courtiers and beat some of them. Even if it was just a show, those family members would not be spared. What's more, even if
If Liu Xin doesn't deal with those family members, those family members will soon be unable to survive.
