Mi Zhu quickly ordered: "Hurry, rush to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion!"
Horses were not allowed to ride in Xiangyang City, and the cavalry team could not get up quickly. Mi Zhu quickly caught up and followed closely behind them. From a distance, he saw the man in the prison car lowering his head, following the bumps of the prison car.
He was shaking from side to side, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
After a while, the team escorting the prison van arrived in Dongcheng District. There were tight guards here, and it was impossible to let so many soldiers inside, so the team also stopped. After a handover between the two sides, most of the people were
He stayed outside and only allowed one person who looked like a leader to follow the prison car inside. Even the person driving the car was replaced by a Flying Tiger guard.
Mi Zhu's carriage entered Dongcheng District without any obstruction. Because his house was originally here, but the Mi family brought too many people, so Mi Zhu opened several shops in Xiangyang City. In the past few days,
He was restless, so he went to look around the shops in the city. He also had lunch in a shop today. As soon as he came back, he ran into the team escorting the prison van.
As expected by Mi Zhu, this prison car was being taken to the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion. As soon as the prison car stopped in front of the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion, Mi Zhu arrived on the back.
At this time, Liu Xin had also received the news and walked out of the mansion with Ju Shou and Dian Wei. As soon as he left the mansion, Liu Xin smelled a foul smell, which was coming from the prison car. He couldn't help but frown.
Frowning, he asked in a deep voice: "Who is in the car?"
The leading officer was Wang Tu, the captain of Cao Cao's personal army. When he heard Liu Xin's question, he quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, the car is exactly what you want."
'The chief culprit', Situ Wangyun."
In fact, Liu Xin had long known that the real culprit should be Cao Cao himself. Otherwise, the few ministers in the court who supported Liu Xie would never have thought of attacking Xiangyang. Since the culprit was Cao Cao himself, of course he did not
The reason for handing himself over, so Liu Xin has been wondering, if Cao Cao really hands over such a scapegoat, who will this scapegoat be?
Liu Xin thought about many people, but she never thought that Cao Cao would actually hand over Wang Yun. It was not that Liu Xin thought that Wang Yun was not qualified to be the scapegoat. On the contrary, Liu Xin thought that Wang Yun was the most qualified to be the scapegoat. However, Liu Xin still
He knew that Wang Yun and Cao Cao were both teachers and friends. The two had discussed together to deal with Dong Zhuo. Even after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he did not expose Wang Yun. Moreover, Wang Yun was the only one among the three princes who followed him.
The people around Liu Xie had a great influence in Shilin. How could Cao Cao hand him over?
However, Cao Cao really handed over Wang Yun as a scapegoat. Not only that, judging from the unkempt appearance and smelly condition of the man in the prison car, Wang Yun had been tortured for a long time. It can be seen that Cao Cao was really ruthless and ruthless.
Old love. In fact, how did Liu Xin know that the torture of Wang Yun was not caused by Cao Cao's instructions, but just by the villain Wang Tu to add insult to injury.
Liu Xin didn't have much favorable impression of Wang Yun. After all, he once sent people to Xiangyang to assassinate her, and he also gave a secret order to Diao Chan, which made him dare not get too close to Diao Chan until now.
.Now that such a person has fallen into his hands, Liu Xin will certainly not let him go easily, but there is no rush on how to deal with him.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said to the guards outside the palace: "Come here, take Wang Yun down, give him a good bath, imprison him first, and then interrogate him later."
Wang Tu had been a prison chief and a policeman. He never regarded these prisoners as human beings. He even used these prisoners as tools to vent his sexual desires. It was precisely because of his perverted psychology that he was obsessed with Wang Tu along the way.
Yun abused him in every possible way and took pleasure in it. When he heard that Liu Xin actually asked someone to give Wang Yun a bath, Wang Tu showed disapproval on his face.
Liu Xin had been paying attention to this man. Seeing that he was tall, handsome, and unusual in appearance, but his expression was a bit vulgar, he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
Wang Tu hurriedly said: "The villain is Wang Tu, the personal soldier of Prime Minister Cao. He was ordered by the Prime Minister to escort Wang Yun. Now that Wang Yun has been handed over to the Lord, I wonder if the Lord has any tokens for the villain to take back.
, so that I can return my life to the Prime Minister."
Liu Xin was a little surprised. She didn't expect that for such an important matter, Cao Cao only sent a captain of his own soldiers to escort and hand over the matter.
However, Liu Xin quickly figured out that Cao Cao did this just to show that he didn't take him seriously at all. This was the same reason why he delayed handing over the "culprit" until the last day.
I just want to save some face as much as possible.
The same is true for Liu Xin. He doesn't pay much attention to who Cao Cao regards as the "culprit". What is important is that Cao Cao is willing to hand over such a "culprit". Xiangyang was attacked by Cao Cao. Although he did not succeed, if Liu Xin
If Xin does not take some retaliatory measures, he will not only be ridiculed by the princes, but also likely to affect the morale of the army and the people. Now that Cao Cao has handed over the "culprit", Liu Xin can regard Cao Cao as admitting his mistake for the sneak attack on Xiangyang.
.
As for whether Cao Cao sincerely admits his mistake, Liu Xin has nothing to do with it. He only needs to give an explanation to the people of Xiangyang and the princes of the world. What Liu Xin needs most now is to recuperate, not to go to war. After thinking about this
At this point, Liu Xin no longer needed to worry about who Cao Cao sent here, so he nodded and said: "Wang Xiaowei has worked hard all the way. You can go to the post house to rest for a few days and enjoy the scenery of Xiangyang. Then I will
I will write a reply letter for you to bring to Meng De. However, the weapons of your group must be handed over and will not be returned to you until you leave. Do you understand?"
In fact, not to mention the envoys from various princes, even the merchants traveling from south to north often carry swords. Firstly, they can be used for self-defense. Secondly, wearing swords is also a symbol of status. But Wang Tu and his group numbered hundreds.
, if they were allowed to wander around the city with swords and guns, they might cause some trouble, so Liu Xin emphasized that they should hand over their weapons.
Wang Tu didn't care whether Liu Xin allowed him to carry weapons or not. He was not a warrior in the first place. He was good at eating, drinking and having fun. He had heard that Xiangyang City was very prosperous and wished he could stay a few more days. Liu Xin's words hit him right.
He quickly handed over his hands and thanked him. The bodyguards had already come over and took him down.
Mi Zhu waited beside him until Wang Tu retreated. Then he stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Mi Zhu, a common man, pays homage to your lord."
Liu Xin had noticed him a long time ago and couldn't help but smile and said: "Why is Mr. Zizhong so polite today? He couldn't be here for the 'culprit'."
Mi Zhu's face turned red when Liu Xin revealed his thoughts, and he said: "I dare not hide it from you, sir. Mi is here just for this matter. How can you be sure that the person Cao Cao sent here is the 'culprit'? Aren't you afraid of Cao Cao?"
Just get someone to fool you?"
Jushou knew what Liu Xin was thinking, and he was in charge of the phantom. Naturally, he also knew the ins and outs of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu's sneak attack on Jingzhou. He took a step forward and said, "Mr. Zizhong is overly worried. This person is one of the three princes."
Situ Wang Yun kidnapped the pseudo-emperor Liu Xie and ran away from Luoyang, and secretly colluded with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu. This was all done by this person, and there is absolutely no falsehood. This is the person my lord wants to ask for!"
When Mi Zhu heard these words, he felt a little dizzy, and his face turned pale. He thought that if he persisted for a long time, this matter would be over, but he didn't expect that what was supposed to come finally came.
Liu Xin knew that Mi Zhu cared about the people of Xuzhou. Seeing his miserable expression, Liu Xin couldn't bear it. She patted his shoulder and said, "Mr. Liu can understand his mood. Liu will definitely write a letter to Cao Cao, telling him no matter what.
No matter what, you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. If your husband is still worried, Liu wants to appoint him as a comfort envoy to go to Jiangxia, Wujun and other places to set up refugee camps to accommodate the people of Xuzhou who have left their hometowns due to the war.
I wonder if sir, you are willing to take on this important task?"
Mi Zhu had never heard of the official position of pacification envoy, and he had never heard of refugee camps, but he understood the general responsibilities. Mi Zhu was not the kind of big businessman who was greedy for wealth. When he was in Xuzhou, he would open one every time there was a disaster.
In his understanding of the porridge shed, what Liu Xin meant as a refugee camp, it probably meant similar to relieving victims, except that it was run by the government.
Mi Zhu didn't care about his official position, so he gladly accepted Liu Xin's appointment and quickly handed over his hand and said, "I am willing to serve the Lord as hard as I can!"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Zizhong, things in the refugee camp are not that simple. Not only do we have to build tents and prepare food for the people who are fleeing, we also need to prevent the spread of epidemics, and we also need to find ways to find some work for these people.
, so that they can support themselves and get out of the shadow of leaving their hometown as soon as possible."
Mi Zhu was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that there were so many Daodao in the refugee camp. However, for the sake of the people in his hometown, he could not back down no matter how difficult the situation was. Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let down my lord's high expectations!"
Liu Xin nodded with satisfaction and said: "With your words, Liu will be relieved. In this case, Zizhong, go find Yuan Hao and he will arrange manpower and allocate money and food for you."
Seeing Mi Zhu leaving in a hurry, Jushou asked in confusion: "Why did my lord think of setting up this refugee camp? Xuzhou has a household registration of one million. If he knew that his lord had set up a refugee camp, he would definitely be flooded with thoughts when the war broke out.
Come here, it’s a big burden.”
Liu Xin laughed and said: "It depends on which angle you stand. Different angles can lead to different conclusions. If you see these fleeing people as a burden, then they will definitely become a burden. If you regard these
Treat the fleeing people as valuable resources, and they will definitely surprise you!"
