All this hints at a possibility - Liu Bei also has a crush on Qin Yi's wife! Liu Xin couldn't help but be a little excited. If her guess is good, it will be fun to see Liu Bei and Guan Yu, the two brothers in need, actually fall in love with Qin Yi's wife.
Liu Xin fell in love with the same woman, and she was also a married woman. Whether it was the younger brother who gave up, or the elder brother who reluctantly gave up love, Liu Xin secretly gossiped, looking forward to knowing the result soon.
Jushou saw a smile appear on the corner of Liu Xin's mouth, as if he had thought of some good idea, but he was worried that it would disrupt Liu Xin's thinking, so he had to suppress his curiosity and wait quietly for Liu Xin's instructions. The study became quiet for a while.
.
Liu Xin's "gossip" train of thought continues. The hypocrite Liu Bei, who has always regarded himself as a moral gentleman, would actually like Guan Yu and fall in love with other people's wives. I don't know what kind of charm Qin Yilu's wife has that can make Guan Yu
Yu kept thinking about it, causing Cao Cao to lose his trust, and now Liu Bei tore off his disguise. Liu Xin secretly thought that when the day comes when Xuzhou is captured, she must capture this woman and take a good look at what kind of disaster she has caused to the country and the people.
Seeing that the smile on Liu Xin's face was getting weirder and weirder, Jushou finally couldn't help but ask: "Has my lord thought of a good way to get close to Qin Yi?"
Liu Xin was startled and hurriedly calmed down. She couldn't help but sweat. She was currently in the inspection period. If Ma Yun found out about this idea, she might be sentenced to life.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. I have already guessed the secret here, but I am not sure yet. If you want to find out clearly, the safest way is of course to get close to Qin Yi. If you want to get close to Qin Yi..."
After just a moment of confusion, Liu Xin's face returned to normal. She suddenly slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "I have it!"
Jushou said happily: "My Lord, has he really come up with a good idea?"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Are any of our people in Xuzhou engaged in grain trading? If not, immediately arrange for someone to open a grain store, and be sure to select capable people to serve as shopkeepers in the grain store, buddy."
Jushou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "My lord is really smart. Qin Yi is in charge of the transportation of money and grain, so he naturally has to deal with the grain store. The shopkeeper of the grain store has a reason to approach him."
Liu Xin also laughed and said: "It's easy to deal with smart people like Mr. However, although using the grain store as a cover can get close to Qin Yi, it is impossible to find out more information. In this way, you can allocate more money.
Ask the person in charge of the grain store to give Qin Yi some gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, or even women. Be sure to get along with Qin Yi and become friends. No matter how much money you spend, don't be stingy. Try to find out about Qin Yi's family situation.
It has to be clear.”
If Qin Yi's wife is really a peerless beauty, it would be worth spending any amount of money. Shi Chong of the Jin Dynasty spent a handful of pearls in exchange for a beauty. He, Liu Xin, is about to have the world. Isn't he still inferior to Shi Chong?
?
Of course, Jushou didn't know Liu Xin's dirty thoughts. He frowned and said hesitantly: "My lord, if you give Qin Yi a lot of gifts, I'm afraid it will arouse others' suspicion. It's better not to act too hastily."
Guan Yu fell in love with Qin Yi's woman, Liu Xin was sure of this. He also wanted to know other things urgently. Is Qin Yi's woman really beautiful? Is there already a relationship between Liu Bei and Qin Yi's woman?
Legs? Understanding these situations is the key to the next step in planning to drive a wedge between the two brothers Liu Bei. How can Liu Xin plan slowly and step by step?
Faced with Jushou's worries, Liu Xin smiled and said: "My lord, you are worrying too much. The reason why the transportation of money and grain has become a lucrative job is because some people will give gifts to the boss. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, our grain store will give
It's normal for Qin Yi to give gifts. If you don't give gifts, it would be abnormal. Without further ado, don't hesitate any more and just do as I say."
Jushou himself was an honest official, so he was idle at home. However, after following Liu Xin for so many years, he also knew that Liu Xin acted between good and evil, but Liu Xin himself was not an arrogant and extravagant person. In the past, Liu Xin
Every time he gives a gift to someone, it has a profound meaning, and it often has immediate results. Although Liu Xin no longer needs to give gifts to people, but after those few experiences, Jushou no longer knows much about gift-giving.
He resisted, so he happily accepted the order.
Liu Xin was not worried that giving gifts to Qin Yi would arouse others' suspicion. There was another reason. If Liu Bei really fell in love with Qin Yi's woman, then he would give Qin Yi the opportunity to transport money and food, which would compensate Qin Yi a little.
The meaning of friendship is in it, so naturally he doesn't care whether Qin Yi accepts gifts. Of course, Liu Xin has already told Jushu that he has never heard of Qin Yi, so it is difficult to tell him that Qin Yi has a
A beautiful wife who knows how to seduce people.
In fact, Liu Xin also thought wrong. Du Xiuniang had never seduced anyone, whether it was Guan Yu, Liu Bei, or Cao Cao. She never deliberately showed herself in front of these people. She was just a weak woman who was submissive and did not dare to resist these people.
Just a strong and powerful person.
Another point is that Liu Xin also guessed wrong. Qin Yi was able to get this wonderful job of transporting money and food not because Liu Bei took the initiative to compensate him, but because Du Xiuniang asked for it.
Indeed, as he said, Qin Yi has no real talents. And Liu Bei has a good eye for recognizing people, so why would he give the important task of transporting money and food to someone he is not confident about? Although Liu Bei does not have many powerful generals,
There are many officials who can do things, such as Sun Qian, Chen Deng and his son, Jian Yong, any one of them can take on this important task. The reason why Liu Bei appointed Qin Yi to be responsible for the transportation of money and grain was entirely due to Du Xiuniang's request.
Du Xiuniang felt that she was very sorry for her husband. He slept next door, but she had sex with another man. She even felt that she was sorry for her son. Every time that man came, his son would not have enough to eat, but that man
She was not allowed to wean her son. So, Du Xiuniang begged Liu Bei to give Qin Yi a better job.
Liu Bei didn't want to agree at first, but seeing such a lovely girl pleading with him, his heart couldn't help but soften. Moreover, he himself felt a little unjust. After all, Du Xiuniang was a married woman, and if this matter spread to him, he
His face was also disgraceful. As long as Qin Yi was willing to keep it a secret, he was willing to be a favor. Besides, Qin Yi was responsible for transporting money and food, so he had to go out often. Wouldn't it be more convenient for him to do things by himself? Since he was begging for beauty,
It made Liu Bei happy and convenient for himself. Liu Bei thought about it and agreed to such a good thing.
Of course, Qin Yi was reluctant to do this kind of thing. But how could a person not bow his head under a low eaves? Besides, this was not the first time that he had put on a cuckold, so he would just endure it and get over it. Besides, Liu Bei is a
Zhou Zhimu has a lot of things to deal with, and he doesn't often go to his house. As long as Liu Bei doesn't come, Du Xiuniang will still be his. It's better than being taken into the mansion by Lu Bu and staying there for ten days and a half.
Qin Yi walked on the streets of Xuzhou with extremely complicated emotions. Since Guangling had no hope of money and food, Xuzhou's military rations could only be purchased from grain stores in the market. Since Liu Bei had assigned him this job, he still had to complete it well.
of.
When Qin Yi thought about it, Liu Bei probably didn't have any good intentions in entrusting him with this job. Last time Liu Bei gave him a slap, and if Guan Yu hadn't stopped him, he would have died long ago. He didn't want anything to fall into Liu Bei's hands again.
, give him a chance to straighten himself out. Qin Yi doesn’t want to
He had never thought about escaping, but Liu Bei's family was full of cronies. Even if he could escape by himself, Du Xiuniang and her son would definitely not be able to escape. If he left alone, wouldn't it be an advantage for Liu Bei? Although Qin Yi
He's not smart, but he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
After visiting several grain stores one after another, Qin Yi was not satisfied with the prices offered by them. The price of grain in Xuzhou City has risen to one hundred yuan per stone, which is nearly ten times the price of grain a few years ago. If purchased at this price,
Qin Yi is sure that Liu Bei will never let him go. However, if he does not seize the time to purchase a batch of grain and the army is starved of food, then he will have no choice but to die. This is not a beautiful job, it is clearly a hard job.
ah!
Qin Yi was lamenting, and when he raised his head, he had reached the end of the street. Just as he was about to turn around and go to other places, an accompanying soldier pointed ahead and said, "General, please look, there seems to be a newly opened grain store there."
Cao Cao in the north was aggressively purchasing military rations, and Guangling in the south was devastated by Ze Rong. The surrounding Yuan Shu and Liu Yao, including Liu Xin, who always preached a people-oriented approach, did not allow food to leave the country, and Xuzhou City was already in danger of falling into a food shortage.
How could anyone open a grain store at this time?
Qin Yi couldn't help but have some doubts. He looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and sure enough he saw the words "Song Ji Grain and Oil" written on the small triangular flag hanging in front of the store. While hesitating, he suddenly saw a group of people.
A large cart drove up, and it was full of grain. After hearing the sound, several waiters came out of the store and carried the grain into the store in a hurry.
Outside the store, a middle-aged fat man was holding his hands on his hips, instructing the guys to unload the goods. He turned around and saw Qin Yi and the others. He hurriedly walked over, nodded and bowed and said: "Fellow military lords, the store has just opened, and there are not many goods. We will come soon."
I've just finished moving, I'm blocking everyone's way, please forgive me, it's just a small thing, it's not respectful."
While talking, the fat man quietly handed Qin Yi a small money bag.
Qin Yi was stunned. To be honest, he was very arrogant when he was in the Xiliang army. It was common for him to bully the people. After arriving in Xuzhou, he turned his tail between his legs and became a man. However, like this, someone took the initiative to give him a gift.
This was an unprecedented first time. Qin Yi also knew that his family was in a tight situation, otherwise he would not have left a servant in the family. This made it easier for Liu Bei to place his trusted followers. Qin Yi could not help but take over the money bag.
The money bag was not big, but it was quite heavy. Qin Yi was surprised when he opened it and took a look.
