It turned out that Zhang Jiao sent his favorite disciple Tang Zhou to Luoyang to deliver a message to Ma Yuanyi. Tang Zhou was timid, and when he saw Luoyang's high walls, deep pools, and tight defenses, he felt a little nervous. After entering the capital, it happened that Zhang Rang got Liu Xin's hand.
Information, decent people were following Feng Xu and Ma Yuanyi. Feng Xu and Ma Yuanyi didn't notice it at all, but Tang Zhou always felt that someone was following him, and he became more and more frightened, so he went straight to the Taiwei Mansion to report and surrender.
The Taiwei at this time was Yang Ci, who turned out to be a Situ. Because the previous letter to Zhang Jiao was fruitless, he asked for leave and asked for leave. Liu Hong refused and appointed him Taiwei instead. Yang Ci received a secret report and contacted him.
What he played in the previous game coincided with what he had said, and he immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience with Liu Hong. At that time, Zhang Rang happened to be waiting beside Liu Hong. After hearing Yang Ci's secret report, he claimed that he had discovered the unusual movements of Ma Yuanyi and others and found out their secrets.
Wherever he settled, he requested an order to capture him. Liu Hong favored Zhang Rang and approved it immediately.
After Zhang Rang got the imperial edict, he did not go to arrest Ma Yuanyi first. Instead, he found Feng Xu and Xu Feng and told them the truth. The two men were frightened and transferred all the gold, silver and cloth they got to Zhang Rang. Only then did Zhang Rang
They arranged for men and horses to capture Ma Yuanyi in one fell swoop, but they only said a few words to Liu Hong to completely wash away the guilt of both of them.
Liu Hong issued an order in court to punish Ma Yuanyi by splitting his body with a chariot in the bustling city of Luoyang, which was also called dismemberment by five horses. He ordered the Three Dukes to investigate the direct guards of the palace and the provincial officials, as well as the officials and civilians inside and outside, and all those who had traffic problems would be executed. At that time, Luoyang City
More than a thousand people were killed. An order was also sent to Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, ordering him to seize the Zhang Jiao brothers. In the middle of the capital, Jizhou was in chaos.
Liu Xin, who was in Xinye, did not receive news from the capital. Early the next morning, Liu Xin left Zhang He to guard Xinye. Xinye originally had more than 500 officers and soldiers, and Liu Xin asked Zhang He to recruit a group of civilians to repair the city walls and pay attention to
In order to find out the news from the north, he took the others straight to Xiangyang.
On the way, Liu Xin asked Kuai Liang a lot about Jingzhou, and Kuai Liang answered all questions. It turned out that Jingzhou is divided into seven counties, not the nine counties in Jingxiang and Liu Xin's impression. These seven counties are located in Jiangbei.
There are three counties of Nanyang, Nanjun, and Jiangxia, and there are four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in the south of the Yangtze River. The administrative seat of Jingzhou is located in Xiangyang, which Liu Xin knows. Although the governor of Jingzhou has been vacant for two years, Xiangyang is still
It is the most prosperous city in Jingzhou. The governor's office originally had three thousand guards, but now they have been disbanded by Bei Yu, the governor of Nanjun. Xiangyang has four major gentry families, namely Cai, Kuai, Chen, and Wang. Currently, Xiangyang's military, government affairs
, the economy is all in the hands of these four major families, and Kuai Liang is the representative of the Kuai family.
With the experience in Hejian, Liu Xin did not expect to be able to control the counties in Jingzhou at once. He made up his mind to be down-to-earth and control Xiangyang, Fancheng and Xinye first, and then make plans.
Because Fancheng and Xiangyang were only separated by the Han River, Liu Xin did not stop in Fancheng, but went straight to Xiangyang. On the edge of the Han River, Xiangyang County Magistrate Cai Mao and many officials and gentry had been waiting for him for a long time.
Cai Mao was considered a celebrity during the Three Kingdoms period. Liu Xin couldn't help but take a closer look at him. Seeing that he was handsome and handsome, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, he didn't look like a villain, so he asked, "Are you Cai Mao?"
Seeing that the newly arrived Jingzhou Shepherd Liu seemed to be very interested in him, Cai Mao quickly replied: "Sir, my subordinate is Cai Mao, whose courtesy name is Degui and whose surname is Xiangyang."
Liu Xin couldn't help but be happy. I'm not checking household registration. Why are you answering so many questions? Thinking that this person is Liu Biao's brother-in-law, Liu Biao married his sister as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, so he couldn't help but ask again: "Who are you?"
Don’t you have a younger sister?”
Cai Hao was wondering, his sister was only eleven years old this year. How did he know? Could it be that he had not married a wife yet? If this was the case, he could consider marrying his sister to him in a few years, so he said: "My lord, I will lower my official position."
I do have a younger sister, but I have yet to give birth to her daughter."
Liu Xin found that everyone around her was looking at him with strange eyes, and then she realized what she said. How could she ask someone if they had a sister in front of so many people, so she had to pretend to cough twice and ask again: "Are you?"
And two younger brothers?"
Cai Mao was immediately stunned. It turned out that Mr. Liu was really checking my household registration. He murmured: "Xiaoguan has two younger brothers and an older sister."
Liu Xin took the opportunity to make a haha and said: "In this case, there is no mistake. It is indeed you. When I was in Hejian, I once heard someone say that there is a Cai Mao in Xiangyang. He has lived in the east of the Yangtze River for a long time and is well versed in water warfare."
But I was thinking in my heart, when did he have a sister again?
After hearing Liu Xin's words, Cai Mao realized that Master Zhou Mu had heard of him a long time ago, and the words seemed to be quite complimentary to him. He immediately became happy and welcomed Liu Xin into Xiangyang.
I want to cleanse him from the wind and dust.
Liu Xin felt that her performance today was a bit embarrassing, so she politely declined Cai Mao's kindness and wanted to go back home to rest first.
Although the governor's office has been vacant for a long time and the guards have disappeared, the governor's office is still there, and now it is naturally changed to the prefectural governor's office. The prefectural governor's office occupies a large area, with more than ten courtyards and one hundred and eighty houses, but it has been uninhabited for a long time.
Some places had begun to deteriorate. When Cai Mao got the news that Liu Xin had taken office, it was too late to repair it, so he ordered people to clean it up early in the morning and arranged for more than ten maids and slaves. Tian Feng, Jushou, Cai Yong, Han
Xi, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others naturally followed him to live in the Prefecture Mufu. Kuai Liang's original home was in Xiangyang, and he went home after Liu Xin settled down.
After dinner, Ma Yun was waiting in the room. Liu Xin didn't come in. When she asked, she found out that he had gone directly to the study. Ma Yun was a little strange. She had never seen Liu Xin working so hard. When she got curious, she came there too.
In the study room, I saw Liu Xin buried in a large pile of letters. These were the information about Jingzhou that he asked Kuai Liang and Cai Mao to send.
Ma Yun couldn't help but laugh: "Husband, you are still not resting at this late hour. Are you going to appoint a new official to take office?"
Liu Xin raised her head and saw Ma Yun, and she also laughed: "Honey, you can't do it if you don't work hard. If you don't work hard, Cao Cao will act like a bronze bird and lock Ma Yun in the palace."
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pushed him and said, "You are really jealous."
Liu Xin smoothly held her in his arms and said: "I'm not jealous, the world is going to be in chaos, don't worry about it, how can I protect you mother and son? How can I be as cool now as before? Who did I want to steal back then?
I just stole from whomever I wanted and gave money to whomever I wanted, how carefree and happy I was. Even now, I have a headache just looking at this pile of broken bamboo."
Ma Yun pinched him hard on the arm and said: "You have become a state shepherd now, and you are still thinking about being a thief. It is really hard to change your nature. If you have a headache, you can take care of it tomorrow. Hmm..."
Liu Xin's hand had already reached into Ma Yun's clothes, touched her snow-white jade peak, and gently pinched the red cherry.
Ma Yun couldn't help but moan, and knocked off his dirty hand with a "snap", and said coquettishly: "What are you doing? This is the study room."
Liu Xin looked at the blushing Ma Yun, kissed her earlobe, and said, "Let's have some office sex."
Although Ma Yun was a little emotional, she refused to mess with him. She pushed him away and said, "It's time to breastfeed your son. Don't be too tired. Come back and rest early."
No matter what, she couldn't starve her son. Liu Xin sighed and let her go. Ma Yun looked at his aggrieved look, covered her mouth and went back to the back house with a smile. Naturally, Liu Xin had no intention of reading the book anymore.
He went down and followed him back to the back, only to see Qiaoer sitting outside and rocking the cradle gently, and Liu Yu lying in it sleeping soundly, only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Ma Yun.
Liu Xin couldn't wait to enter the inner room. Ma Yun had already taken off her makeup and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him with a bad smile. Liu Xin pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, if you don't beat me for three days, you will have to go to the house to get rid of the tiles."
Okay, it seems that my husband is going to do some tricks today."
Ma Yun puffed up her chest and curled her lips: "Humph, in today's society who is afraid of whom, just let your horse come over."
Within a moment, the bed swayed with creaking and creaking, and the gasping and groaning sounds of "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," spread louder and louder. The couple had not had a chance to be intimate for half a month.
The incident was naturally shocking, but Qiaoer, who was coaxing Xiao Liuyu to sleep outside, was destined to have another sleepless night tonight.
Early the next morning, Liu Xin got up from the bed refreshed as usual. Ma Yun was woken up by him. Instead of turning over and continuing to sleep like in the past, she tried to open her eyes and tried to hold on.
Get up. Liu Xin asked strangely: "Honey, if you are tired, just sleep for a while. Why are you getting up so early?"
Ma Yun rolled her eyes at him and said: "Several families live in this mansion, and I also have a lot of things to do. I have to get a charter for which places need to be repaired and which places need to be cleaned. How can I sleep?
." After saying that, he sat up, but unexpectedly his legs went soft and he lay down again.
Liu Xin looked at her embarrassment and couldn't help but laugh: "Honey, if you can't do it, don't hold on, your body is important."
Ma Yun closed her eyes and said coquettishly: "It's not your fault. You don't know how to show mercy to women."
Liu Xin pulled the quilt, covered her up again, and said with a smile: "I don't know who was so crazy last night and wanted it again."
Ma Yun tried to hit him, but when she raised her arms, she didn't have any strength. Liu Xin had already run out of the room with a smile. Seeing Qiao'er lying asleep next to the cradle, Liu Xin walked out softly.
As soon as he went out, Qiao'er opened his eyes. The master and his wife had been tossing all night, so that Xiao Qiao'er couldn't fall asleep even after tossing and turning. She got up early and just took a nap next to the cradle when she was hit by him again.
She was woken up by a flirt, and after hearing those love words, she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head. She finally waited for the master to go out, and then sighed secretly, oh, how will she live her life in the future.
As usual, Liu Xin had to box and practice before going to have breakfast. When he came to the front hall and sat down, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Kuai Liang, Cai Yong, Han Xi, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu
, Zhao Yun, Cai Mao were already waiting, and there was also a man in his thirties. After Kuai Liang introduced him, Liu Xin knew that he was his younger brother Kuai Yue.
