Guan Yu was slightly teased by Liu Xin, and his face felt slightly warm. However, he was born with a red face, so he didn't worry about being noticed. Guan Yu cupped his hands towards Liu Xin and said, "In that case,
Then Mr. Guan would like to thank Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu, please rest assured that Mr. Guan will repay you for this great contribution one day."
Guan Yu felt deeply ashamed that he had betrayed Liu Bei, his eldest brother. At this time, he secretly made a plan to take Du Xiuniang and Cao Huiyuan away after helping Liu Xin achieve great success, and no longer ignore these disputes and fight and kill.
kill.
Seeing Guan Yu hurried out of the hall, everyone turned to Zhang Liao and joked: "Wenyuan, why don't you hug the beauty and go back to be happy." "Wenyuan, it's a big day, you have to treat me to a drink tonight." "Yes."
That’s right, you won’t come home until you’re drunk.”
Liu Xin saw Zhang Liao and Gan Mei blushing and lowering their heads in silence. She waved her hands and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and let Wen Yuan and the newcomer go back. We have other important matters to discuss."
Zhang Liao was stunned, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu Xin's order. He had no choice but to hold his hands and lead Gan Mei out of the hall. There were bursts of laughter from the crowd behind him.
Liu Xin ordered the mandarin ducks randomly and felt quite accomplished. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, Wen Yuan will go and be happy. Let's finish dealing with Sun Qian as soon as possible and go and enjoy ourselves."
Everyone laughed again. When Guangling City was captured, everyone did not get any rewards, because Guangling had actually become an empty city, and all the noble families had been wiped out by Zuo Rong. But Xuzhou City was different, except for Mi
In addition to the four major aristocratic families, Cao, Chen, and Sun, there are many large gentry families. When Liu Xin entered the city, he announced that he would not offend the people, which refers to ordinary people and does not include these gentry families. Among these gentry families, except
After the Mi was captured, all the Chen family was saved, except for half of the Cao family. Whoever financed Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Jushou's phantoms had already been detected clearly. Now it is time for them to repay their debts. A team
Soldier
The soldiers were going from house to house according to the list drawn up by Jushu. Those who should be dismissed were dismissed, and those who should be confiscated were confiscated. The children of these families must at least give some gold and silk to the civil and military people present, so Liu Xin said this.
.
Zhou Tai was originally a water thief, and he was most excited about this kind of thing. He couldn't hold it back for a long time, and shouted: "Lord, what are you waiting for? Just chop him with a knife, and we can do the same, haha, haha..."
When Mi Zhu was in Xuzhou, he had always been friendly with Sun Qian and hurriedly said: "My lord, you must not do this. Sun Qian is a famous scholar in Xuzhou and has a good reputation among the people. My subordinates think that recruiting him is the best."
Liu Xin shook her head and said: "It is true that Sun Qian is a famous person, but whether he has any reputation among the people is debatable. Do you know what the people care about most? What the people care about most is whether they can have enough food and clothing! What they care about most is who can.
Let them live a good life! Whoever has a great reputation can rule the world, so what does that have to do with them?"
After hearing Liu Xin's words, Jushou and others also felt that it was reasonable and nodded frequently.
Liu Xin continued: "As for what Sun is doing, Liu doesn't necessarily have to kill him. As long as he is willing to plead guilty and surrender, Liu can let him live. The honor and disgrace of the family, life and death, all depend on him. Take him with him.
Come up."
Sun Qian's face was filled with despair when he came in. He still couldn't figure out why Guan Yu would betray Liu Bei. When he came in just now, he also met Zhang Liao who was leading a young woman out in a hurry. Not only did he know Zhang Liao, but he also knew Zhang Liao very well. He was familiar with it, but it wasn't until he entered the hall that he remembered that the young woman seemed to be Liu Bei's concubine Gan. The victors were princes and the losers were bandits. The losers often couldn't even save their wives and children. There was nothing that could be done about it. Sun Qian had already He anticipated his own fate.
Seeing Sun Qian come in, Mi Zhu quickly persuaded him: "Gongyou, my lord is a rare wise king, so you should surrender."
Sun Qian spat at Mi Zhu fiercely and said: "Mi Zhu, Sun Mou has always respected you, but he didn't expect that you are a thief who sells his goods and seeks glory! Mr. Xuande is benevolent and righteous, and he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. That's the right thing to do." The Lord of the World!"
Liu Xin had many talents under his command, but Sun Qian's ability was not very good. Liu Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and shouted in a deep voice: "Sun Qian, Liu just wants to ask you whether you will surrender or not?"
Sun Qian puffed up his chest and said, "I will not surrender until I die!"
Mi Zhu knew that among the civil and military officials in the hall, apart from him and Zhang Liao, no one would care about Sun Gan's life and death. Now that Zhang Liao had taken Gan out, if he didn't speak for him, no one would intercede on his behalf. Thinking of this, Mi Zhu quickly continued to persuade: "Gongyou, even if you don't plan for yourself, you should think about your wife, children, and children at home."
Sun Qian was stunned, and then said: "Sun is just dead. If he is really the wise king you say, how could he harm my family?"
Liu Xin could no longer hold back, and sneered repeatedly: "How can you be sure that Liu will not harm your family? There are so many civil and military officials in Xuzhou City, except for you and Jian Yong, who is willing to follow Liu Bei? !As Liu Bei's best friend, how can Liu forgive you? If you take the initiative to ask for surrender, Liu can let you live. It seems that you are so stubborn that no one can plead for mercy!"
Mi Zhu rarely saw Liu Xin angry, so she didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so she had to step aside with lowered hands, while Sun Qian looked at Liu Xin with disdain.
Liu Xin didn't take it seriously and continued: "Sun Qian, I'm not telling you in vain, asking you to die clearly. The royal family tree is now in Liu's hands, and there is no record about Liu Bei in it. What kind of Han clan clan are there? , he claimed it all by himself. You still think he has some moral character, but you don’t know that he is just a hypocrite.”
Sun Qian looked at Liu Xin dumbfounded and said after a while: "You are talking nonsense!"
Liu Xin snorted and said, "If this were not the case, how could Guan Yu be willing to abandon Liu Bei and surrender to Liu?"
In fact, Liu Xin told a lie. Guan Yu only promised to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and did not agree to surrender to Liu Xin. But none of this mattered because he had given Sun Qian the answer he wanted.
Sun Qian's heart slowly sank. He knew Guan Yu quite well. From this point of view, what Liu Xin said was probably true. Otherwise, how could Guan Yu surrender with his character? Sun Qian suddenly said: " Mr. Liu, it is not a pity for Mr. Sun to die, but I beg you to let Mr. Sun’s family go."
Liu Xin saw that Sun Qian's tone had softened, but she shook her head and said: "It's too late. The family has family rules and the state has national laws. Liu acted in accordance with the law. Someone came and beheaded Sun Qian in the street and abandoned his body in the wilderness. .Search and confiscate all the Sun family members, and use them as official slaves. Take them down."
With such an ending, Sun Qian had nothing to say, shook his head and sighed, and was dragged out. Mi Zhu finally saw Liu Xin's ruthless side today, so she had to think of an early opportunity to collect Sun Qian's body and try to take care of it. His home is smaller.
In fact, whether or not to kill Sun Qian has nothing to do with the overall situation. Liu Xin can completely let the Sun family go in order to win people's hearts. However, what Liu Xin needs to do now is to warn the noble families in the world that as long as they go against him, Liu Xin will His family would be ruined. On the other hand, Liu Xin also encountered some financial difficulties. He needed to seize the properties of these wealthy families to alleviate the financial crisis, but Sun Qian happened to be caught in the crossfire.
Liu Xin dealt with Sun Qian and at the same time sent a signal to all the noble families in the world: Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Then he returned to his back house with satisfaction.
Diao Chan had been waiting there for a long time, and said with joy on her face: "The slave family thought that the master would accept the Qin family's wife, but they didn't expect that the master had already made arrangements. But they didn't know when the master gave the pair of jade hostas to the Cao family. Duan and Du are both elusive and mysterious, which is unbelievable. However, the separation and recombination of these pair of hostas is also a strange relationship."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Sir, I originally arranged this fate, but you guessed it. However, there are too many twists and turns involved, so you'd better not ask about it."
Diao Chan said coquettishly: "Then you should tell me why you let the Du family wear a veil like the Nu family?"
Liu Xin smiled again and said: "Look at Du Xiuniang's beauty, if it falls in the eyes of others, it will cause trouble. I am doing this for the sake of her future stability in Guan Yu's life.
Diao Chan said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the master asked the slave family to put a veil on it because..."
"Nonsense! Who dares to make ideas about my Liu Xin woman?" Liu Xin quickly interrupted Diao Chan. However, his confidence was obviously lacking, and he quickly changed the subject and said, "Chan'er, look at them, they are all in pairs. Come on, let’s take a rest early.”
When the first ray of sunshine rose in the morning, Liu Xin had already finished practicing the exercises and was sitting in the hall looking through the account books of those wealthy noble families yesterday.
I really didn’t know it until I saw it, and I was shocked to see that these wealthy noble families in Xuzhou were really rich. Although there was a famine all the time in Xuzhou, the families of those wealthy families were not short of food. They only raided half of Cao’s house and got food and grass. Three hundred thousand dan. After this investigation, the final income was definitely an astonishing astronomical figure.
Liu Xin couldn't help but secretly lamented that if these wealthy noble families could have given their full support to Liu Bei, there would not have been a food shortage in Guangling and Xuzhou, and he would not have been able to find out the abnormal relationship between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Du Xiuniang. There would be no opportunity to take advantage of it. Looking back now, all of these are intertwined, and the initiators are actually those wealthy noble families who love money as much as their lives. Now these wealthy families have worked hard to save all the money and food at their own expense. How can it be It's not fate that plays tricks on people.
When Liu Xin was filled with emotion, the soldiers outside the door came to report, and Guan Yu asked to see him.
Liu Xin was surprised. In this era, people's lives are relatively leisurely, and many people do not have the habit of getting up early. People like him who insist on getting up early every day are definitely different. Does Guan Yu also have the habit of getting up early?
While he was hesitating, Guan Yu had already walked in, raised his hands and said: "General Guan Yu pays homage to the lord!"
