Although Zou Rui's small face was dirty, her big clear eyes were dark and bright. When Liu Xin picked up her chin with her finger, for some reason, the little guy actually started to giggle.
, revealing a pair of dimples, she is really a beauty. An evil thought flashed in Liu Xin's heart, what would it be like to possess the mother and daughter at the same time? Liu Xin turned to look at Zhu, and saw her lowering her head in panic.
Go, my mind was shaken, how could I have such an idea? Liu Xin shook her head secretly.
Mr. Zhu was also shocked by Liu Xin's frivolous behavior. His daughter was only seven years old. He would not have any intentions. I heard that some people like young children. Wouldn't he also have this quirk? Mr. Zhu's heart
Feeling uneasy.
Everyone had their own thoughts and unknowingly arrived at the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. When they entered the courtyard, they met Qiao'er helping Liu Yu learn to walk.
When Qiaoer saw Liu Xin bringing two ragged men back, he picked up Liu Yu and came forward to greet him. After hearing what Ma Yun said that day, Liu Xin also thought about it. When he took a closer look at Qiaoer, his face became more and more serious.
She is getting more and more handsome. Probably due to malnutrition since childhood, she has never grown taller. She is probably less than 1.6 meters tall. She looks small and exquisite, but the soft flesh on her chest has been fully developed. She jumps and jumps when she walks.
It was bouncing around like it was carrying two little rabbits, and Liu Xin was stunned for a moment.
Regarding that matter, Ma Yun had already asked Qiao'er what she meant. Naturally, she was absolutely convinced. Now that Liu Xin was looking at her so directly, she felt shy and said hurriedly: "Master, you
I'm back. The young master can already walk."
Liu Xin was awakened by Qiao'er's words and wondered to herself what was going on recently. He couldn't move when he saw a beautiful woman. Could it be that the sperm was in his brain? He quickly coughed and said: "Qiao'er, leave Yu'er to me."
.You take them two to the back to wash themselves and change their clothes."
Qiaoer agreed and took Zhu's mother and daughter to the back. Liu Xin walked into the house holding her son and saw Ma Yun writing something on a pile of bamboo slips, and asked strangely: "Wife, what are you doing?"
"
When Ma Yun saw Liu Xin coming in, she hurriedly hid the bamboo slips in her hands behind her back and said, "Don't look at it."
Liu Xin was so funny that she said: "If you don't want to see it, you won't see it. You should keep everything secret from me. By the way, I will go out of the city today and bring back a mother and daughter. You can arrange it later. I tell you, that little girl
She is also a famous person, I suspect she is Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou."
When Ma Yun heard this, she was surprised and said: "Really or not, you can just meet a famous person?"
When Liu Yu saw Ma Yun, he shouted "Mom, Mom" and struggled to get off Liu Xin's hands. As Ma Yun spoke, he took his son from Liu Xin's hands, coaxed him up, and said proudly
: "Look, my son can already call me."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu called "Mom" in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Yun's hand. He tried hard to grab the bamboo slips in her hand. Liu Xin couldn't help laughing: "His name is bamboo slips."
.”
Ma Yun also laughed and said: "This little guy learns to walk very quickly. He can already walk in a row while holding on to the wall."
While teasing her son, Liu Xin said: "In more than a month, it will be Yu'er's first birthday. When he is weaned, I will ask Qiao'er to take him to live in the wing room, so as not to be unable to enjoy himself at night."
Ma Yun's face turned red, she spat and said, "You, you are not serious. There is a big deal in Jingzhou waiting for you to do. This is what you are thinking about in broad daylight."
The couple were talking in the room, and Qiaoer came in and said, "Master, Madam, Sister Zou and her daughter are here."
Zhu and Zou Rui had already freshened up briefly and put on new clothes. Although they didn't fit well, they were much better than their old, torn and dirty clothes.
Ma Yun took Zou Rui's hand and looked left and right, then turned to Liu Xin and said, "Husband, you are such a beautiful little girl. It would be great if you could be our Yu'er's wife."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu felt happy. If her daughter could marry the young master of Zhou Mu, there would be nothing to worry about. But she heard Liu Xin laugh and said: "Wife, what are you talking about, Yu?"
For a person as young as his son, by the time he gets a wife, his little girl will have grown into an old maid, not to mention that he still has a husband."
Ma Yun pushed Liu Xin and said, "Okay, we women are talking here, why are you interrupting? Go out and do your business."
When Liu Xin went out, Ma Yun arranged a place for Zhu and her daughter to live, and brought some silk and satin for them to make some decent clothes. There were two more people in the yard, and it became more lively, especially the little girl Zou Rui.
She got to know everyone well, and her lively nature showed through. She sang and danced in the yard, often making Ma Yun talk without disturbing her, and Xiao Liuyu was very willing to get close to her.
Seeing that Zhu's mother and daughter had settled down, Liu Xin took Dian Wei and a few soldiers and ran to Chen Jie's house. He heard a cry from a distance, and when he entered the front yard, he saw only men and women, old and young, kneeling on their knees.
The ground was covered with menacing soldiers holding seals and posting them everywhere.
Jushou was standing in the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, giving instructions. When he saw Liu Xin, he quickly came over to greet him and asked, "My lord, why are you here?"
Liu Xin frowned and said, "I'm not worried. Come and have a look. Why did you really arrest their whole family? Didn't you say, don't get involved?"
Jushou replied calmly: "Back to my lord, I don't know if I don't investigate. This investigation really revealed that Chen Jie has done many illegal things, including four or five cases involving human life. According to the law, it is not just the case that should be punished."
It’s Chen Jie’s fault alone.”
Liu Xin was really surprised and asked: "What will we do with these people?"
Jushu said calmly: "Chen Jie and the few leaders should be executed. The remaining adult men should be exiled for three thousand miles, and the women and children should be sold into slavery."
Liu Xin originally just wanted to rob Chen Jie's land outside Xiangyang City and steal some property from his home. She thought that Chen Jie's family had a big business. If the property in the city was gone, there should be many properties in the countryside.
The life would not be any worse. Who would have expected that Jushu would enforce the law impartially and find out many illegal things against him in the morning. Now his whole family would suffer. He was surprised and said: "Gongyu, those cases
You have to figure it out and don't accuse him unjustly. What was the result of the search at their home?"
Jushou said: "Going back to my lord, the Chen family is very luxurious. Look at this house. It has carved beams and painted pillars. In the back garden there is a water pavilion, a pavilion, and everything is available. The Chen family is located in the four counties of Xiangyang, Nanyang, Nanxiang, and Changsha.
I have sent people to seize the real estate, and the gold, silver, cloth, money, food and other items are also being registered. As for the Chen family's property in other places, we are somewhat beyond our reach."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Mr. Yu, you did a good job. Come on, take me inside to have a look."
Jushu led Liu Xin into the back house of the Chen Mansion. As expected, there was a cave inside, with ancient trees and famous flowers, small bridges and flowing water, and bamboo forests and rockeries. It was already a bit like a Jiangnan garden. Another woman's cry came from the small courtyard next to the garden.
.
Liu Xin frowned and asked, "Mr. Yu, why are there still women here?"
Jushou looked up and said: "That is Chen Jie's inner house. The women in it are all selected from the Chen family's family members. They are younger and have good looks. These women can be sold at a good price."
Liu Xin looked at Ju Shou as if she didn't recognize him, but she didn't expect that this guy was a bit cold-blooded.
Jushou was furious at him, thinking that Liu Xin suspected that he had any selfish motives, so he said sarcastically: "My lord, don't get me wrong, the rules of confiscating houses have always been like this."
At this time, a scribe hurried out from the courtyard, prostrated himself on the ground and said, "I see you, my lord, Zhang Yun."
Liu Xin looked him up and down, with triangular eyes and aquiline nose, looking at her with a flattering expression, and said, "Are you Zhang Yun, Captain Cai's cousin?"
His question surprised Zhang Yun, and he wondered if Cai Mao had mentioned him in front of his lord. Zhang Yun quickly replied: "He is exactly the villain. My lord, would you like to go in and have a look and pick a few that you like?"
Someone will help deliver it to your house."
Liu Xin's face darkened and she said, "Don't talk nonsense! Go and do your thing. Remember, don't hide anything."
Zhang Yun put his hot face against his cold butt and retreated angrily.
Liu Xin then said to Jushou: "The four big families of Gongyu, Kuai, Cai, Chen and Wang in Xiangyang must always be in the same family, and there must be many in-laws between them. Kuai Liang, Yue and Cai Mao are all helping us now.
When doing business, you must treat these three families differently. You must carefully check whether the female relatives of the Chen family have any of their family members. These people should not be sold, but can be sent back to their natal families."
Liu Xin knew that the brothers Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue were far inferior to Ju Shu in terms of loyalty. Back then, they worked hard under Liu Biao, but when Cao Cao came, they all defected to him.
, is busy keeping his own glory and wealth. Now is the time for Liu Xin to employ people, so she still has to try her best to pull them back and not push them too hard, so she still wants to leave some room for them.
Jushou thought for a while and said, "My lord, you are very considerate. I will arrange for someone to go and check it out."
Liu Xin stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "There's no rush, just take me there to have a look."
Jushou followed the direction of Liu Xin's finger and looked over. It turned out to be the study room of the Chen family. As the leading rich man in Xiangyang, Chen Jie certainly had his own study room. The study room was very clean and people seemed to come here often. There were all pens and ink on the desk, and Liu Xin
Picking up the inkstone on the table, there was no ink on it, but it seemed like it had never been used. The brush was brand new, and the box for the ink had not been opened. Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that this Chen Jie was a fake gentleman.
, setting up a study room is just for show. The reason why it is clean is obviously that someone cleans it regularly. Liu Xin looked around and saw that there were many books in Chen Jie's study room. He picked up a book from the bookcase.
The rolled bamboo slips raised a cloud of dust and made Liu Xin's face look like it. It seemed that no one had touched these books for a long time. There was a large wooden box next to the bookcase, but the top was clean. There should not be many books left here.
After a long time, Liu Xin gently opened the lid of the box, and her eyes couldn't help but shine.
