"I haven't seen anyone come to the Young Master's Mansion during this period, and I've never heard that Liu Qi has a good friend named Kong Ming. Could it be that Kong Ming is Liu Qi's new prostitute in a brothel? If so, he got mixed up in the fireworks. How can the people of Liuxiang be compared with Chen Wen, who has a clear plan and a plan in ten steps? If not, judging from the young master's exclamation tone, Kong Ming is definitely not an ordinary person." Liu Zhong, the housekeeper, was thinking about the lawsuit and waiting. After the corpse-burning incident, we have to check whether there is any Kong Ming in the seven counties of Jingxiang.
"Ahem, my friend Kong Ming is far away in Langye. No one in our Eastern Han Dynasty can match his talent and strategy. I met him by chance. You two should not be suspicious. If you find the opportunity, I will go north to get you acquainted with Kong Ming. ." Seeing that Liu Zhong and Chen Wen were very confused about Kong Ming, Liu Qi lied again.
"Yes, young master." Liu Zhong and Liu Qi agreed at the same time. Since Liu Qi doesn't want to talk more about Kong Ming, let's wait for Liu Qi to find the opportunity to meet Kong Ming. No one in the Eastern Han Dynasty was better than him. Who is he? He is better than Guan Zhong. , Le Yi is even worse, such a genius only comes out in five hundred years.
Who is Kongming? I must meet him for a while. Chen Wen, who was arrogant and arrogant, thought secretly that Chen Wen had never admired anyone more than Zhang Liang, the military advisor of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Kong Ming's genius had a strong desire to see it.
"Then I will arrange emergency arrangements to prepare for Cai Mao's troops and prepare for the Soybean War?" Liu Zhong asked.
"Go, steward, be careful. In particular, please tell General E not to act rashly. You only need to prepare secretly and wait to leave the city at any time." Liu Qi gave the instructions again, and Liu Zhong accepted Nuo Xin's arrangements and left.
Seeing Liu Zhong's carrying figure move out of the room, Liu Qi sighed inwardly. It's rare for a housekeeper to be loyal. The only goal of housekeeper Liu Zhong's life is to be loyal to his cousin's will and swear to the death to assist the young master Liu Qi to make a weapon. He killed the maid for Liu Qi. Yingchuan set up three ghost gates to personally select the dead men, secretly caged strangers like E Huan to accumulate strength, and prepared all the war materials in the house. He assisted Liu Qi wholeheartedly and loyal to his death. He was really a super steward.
Perhaps there were many people like Liu Zhong in the Three Kingdoms, so many princes were established, and everyone could despise the world and compete in the Central Plains.
Liu Qi suddenly felt that people like Liu Zhong were respectable men. Although he was a bit cruel and never showed mercy when killing maids and city soldiers, he had a very clear goal in life, and people with goals are happy people. , moving towards the goal every day without fear, that is the meaning of living.
"Young Master has just analyzed three major reasons and argued that Cai Mao will definitely not attack you in the next few days. I also fully agree. It's just that the housekeeper was here just now. In order to avoid hurting the housekeeper's vigilance, there is something that I don't want to ask." See Liu Zhong. After leaving Liu Qi's dormitory, Chen Wen no longer worried about when to meet Kong Ming, and his face showed worry when he spoke.
"Chen Wen, please speak." Liu Qi knelt down and straightened his clothes, thinking that it was no small matter that Chen Wen could not even ask him about it.
"Sir, even if everything goes well these days, I still have a feeling that Cai Mao will not let it go. In the future, he will burn corpses and kill soldiers as an excuse. What can I do?"
"Haha, as long as it lasts a few days, everything will be fine. I'm afraid Cai Mao won't complain about the corpse burning." Liu Qi was confident and said with a slight smile.
"Oh, Master, does he have a clever plan?" Chen Wen was surprised by Liu Qi's confident expression. What he was worried about was actually what the Master wished for. He really couldn't understand the Master more and more. If he really had a clever plan, wouldn't Master Liu Qi be able to do it?
A god?
"Soldiers are coming to stop them, water is coming and the soil is flooding, Chen Wen does not need to worry, the fourth watch has been struck, the ugly hour has arrived, the sun is about to come out, you should give up your breath early." Liu Qi had no intention of telling Chen Wen what he was thinking now, after all, it has not happened yet.
Talking about the matter is in vain. It is indeed one or two o'clock in the night, and it is time to have a good sleep to regain enough energy to deal with emergencies.
"Okay, good night, young master." Seeing that Liu Qi had no intention of telling him, Chen Wen didn't force himself. He bowed and left.
"I expect that we will be safe for a few days. Chen Wen will assist the housekeeper so that there is no need to make the house too nervous and everything in the house will be at war." Liu Qi added.
"Yes, young master." After Chen Wen left the bedroom, the bedroom was suddenly empty, and there was a huge emptiness and loneliness. It was originally a cool night in the autumn rain, and it was exactly what he had planned with the beautiful maid Amei.
The beautiful night was ruined by the butler Liu Zhong who killed four maids in a row. It was really a beauty that was missed and a cool autumn night of the Three Kingdoms was wasted...
…
Just as Liu Qi lamented with regret that there was no beautiful woman to accompany him on the cool autumn night of the Three Kingdoms, he fell asleep in the middle of the night. The meeting hall of Cai Mao's mansion was brightly lit, filled with oily smoke, and there were five or six people in full armor and a few counselors.
People stood quietly on both sides, seemingly standing in a civil and military manner.
In the meeting hall, a wine vat was broken on the ground, and a low table was overturned in front of Cai Mao. There were fish, large pieces of beef, fruits, and a large piece of chicken flank that had just been bitten, all stained.
It was obvious that small-scale banquets and small-scale discussions had been held here. It was obvious that Cai Mao was very angry. The sword in his hand was unsheathed, his beard was raised, and his mouth was crooked. He looked like a wolf.
The lion with its huge mouth is ready to bite at any time.
"A thousand troops are defeated by ten cavalry, shame, shame! Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh..." Cai Hao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He couldn't get any more angry. He took a big step forward and swung his sword with a click, knocking him over.
A sword was struck on the table on the ground and one of its horns was cut off, which made Wenwu in the tent tremble all over.
"General, I would like to lead a hundred cavalry to surround Master Liu Qi's mansion." A man of the fifth and third class raised his hand to Cai Mao and asked for a fight.
"In the cemetery, thousands of troops have not captured anyone. Zhang Hu, can you lead a hundred riders?" Cai Mao glanced sideways at the subordinate named Zhang Hu. This man is brave and fierce, and Chen Sheng was a bandit.
When he was assisting Liu Biao in the investigation of the rebels in Nanyang County, he was persuaded by Pang Ji to surrender and join Liu Biao. However, Liu Biao disliked Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng because of their poor status and did not stay with him, so he became a famous general under Cai Mao.
"It was a mistake to mess with the graveyard, but God was not kind to me. Just when I was about to capture the guard of Liu Qi's mansion who was pretending to be a bandit, suddenly a strong wind blew up in the sky, and large swaths of rat poison floated in. There was a loud thunder, and the thunderstorm fell like hail.
, unable to see their fingers, which allowed them to escape with luck. At this time, leading a hundred cavalry to surround Liu Qi's house at night was like catching a turtle in an urn, nine out of ten were sure."
Zhang Hu was very unconvinced. He originally wanted to catch the person who was burning the corpses in the cemetery when the fire started. However, the fire turned out to be too strong. The wind blew up the ashes and the heavy rain poured down, leaving only a few stabbed people at the scene.
The dead sergeant left no evidence to prove that he was a guard in Liu Qi's mansion.
"Kill my city soldiers, pick me to garrison, poison, and burn corpses. It seems that the sick young man Liu Qi has a broken head. He is almost like a madman even if he is not dead. He is so sad and crazy." Cai Hao gritted his teeth.
After sighing with emotion, he ordered: "Zhang Hu listens to the order." "Here." Zhang Hu cheered up and took a step forward.
"You are allowed to lead a hundred swordsmen and axe-hands to immediately surround Liu Qi's residence. Bind Liu Qi and kill all his stewards and guards. Kill them first and then report them. I will report to the lord tomorrow." Cai Mao's murderous intention was everywhere, and the steward Liu Zhong killed him.
The four maids who had been given by their relatives wanted to take action, but Liu Biao was present during the day. Now Liu Qi ordered his men to burn the corpses to eliminate traces. Such a crime was so heinous that even if they were beheaded a hundred times, they would not be relieved of their hatred.
"Slow down, general." Pang Ji stepped forward. Pang Ji was from a small tribe in Xiangyang. With his extraordinary resourcefulness and courage, he attached himself to the Cai family, a famous local family, and became friends with Cai Mao. When Cai Mao helped Liu Biaoping, he judged the clan rebels in Jingxiang and Xiang counties.
At that time, he made great contributions to Cai Mao and was deeply appreciated by Cai Mao, who always followed Pang Jiyan's advice.
"Wait a minute." Cai Mao called Zhang Hu, looked at Pang Jidi with a confused face and said, "Pang Gong, do you have something to say?"
"Yes, General. You must not besiege the Young Master's Mansion. If you insist on doing it, you may be killed." Pang Ji waved his hands repeatedly and remained silent, waiting for Cai Hao to vent his temper and resentment before coming.
Make plans.
"Pang Ji, don't try to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. You allow Liu Qi to kill soldiers and burn their corpses, but you don't allow me to surround the house and arrest people? What's the point?" Zhang Hu opened his eyes angrily and was extremely dissatisfied with Pang Ji's words.
I thought to myself that civil servants are just people who are afraid of death. They are just people who talk a lot and lower their eyebrows all the time, not wanting to see blood.
"Zhang Hu, please don't be rude. Mr. Pang will tell you what you want to say." Pang Ji said the words that could lead to death, which shocked Cai Mao. He quickly calmed down and sat back calmly on the small stool. Impulse is the devil, so what if he gets angry easily?
Can it become a big deal?
"General, this incident was caused by Liu Qi tripping over the rocks on Hutoushan Mountain. However, Liu Qi was not destined to die, and he was fortunate enough to be saved by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. I am afraid that this triggered the revenge of the dead men in the Young Master's Mansion, which led to the death of the maid.
If it hadn't been for the informant from the storekeeper of the longevity food store, we wouldn't have known about the burning of the corpses. Presumably Liu Qi and the others wanted to hide the incident in order to avoid leaving posterity with the excuse of killing four maids in a row. Why did Liu Qi dare to do this?" Pang Ji
After giving it a try, he saw that Cai Hao was listening attentively and continued: "The general helped increase Liu Qi's arrogance when it came to burning his corpse."
"Pang Ji, why are you blaming the general? Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Hu seemed to be dissatisfied with Pang Ji's suggestion to surrender and join Liu Biao but was rejected. His words were full of disrespect for Pang Ji, but Pang Ji didn't care about this and said
I don't want to fight with Zhang Hu as a martial artist.
"Oh... Pang Gong means that I should have retrieved the body of the maid given to me on the same day, so that the corpse of the murderer in Liu Qi's house can be used as evidence to seize the opportunity?" Cai Hao came to think of it, and after Pang Ji reminded him, his thinking became more and more complicated.
It's getting clearer.
"Exactly, the general missed the opportunity. Presumably Liu Qi has fully recovered his sanity, so he decided to burn the corpse without leaving any further trouble, and he died without any evidence."
"Oh, it was my negligence. However, why can't we catch Liu Qi tonight? Doesn't it happen that the corpse will be burned?" Cai Hao sighed, as if the cooked duck had flown away again. He was extremely regretful and thought about how many times he had plotted.
Liu Qi was invisibly harmed, and he didn't want to have such an honest opportunity to kill Liu Qi, but he missed it.
"Of course not." Pang Ji shook his head, faced Cai Mao and asked, "Did anyone see the body when it was burned?"
Cai Mao said: "All the soldiers and sergeants of the army have seen it with their own eyes."
Pang Ji continued to ask: "Is there any physical evidence?"
"No." Cai Mao replied a little flustered.
"General, how can we convict someone without physical evidence? Even if ten thousand people see it and testify, how can one-sided words be proved? Since Liu Qi dared to burn corpses, he must be prepared in case a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, not to mention that the person he arrested is an eldest son.
, what would your lord think? Could it be that Liu Qi has obtained his father's tacit approval for this matter? A sick playboy would not be able to do such a bold thing. Maybe the lord is waiting for the general to come and surround him.
As for the government, don’t you want to throw yourself into the trap knowingly that you’ve fallen into the trap?”
"This... is indeed as Pang Gong said, Liu Qi's mansion really can't be surrounded, but how can I, the general, tolerate this tone?" Cai Hao was discouraged, but was shocked by Pang Ji's words and broke out in a cold sweat, secretly saying OK
It's dangerous, Liu Biao is already plotting against him. It seems that Luan Shigang went too far in plotting to murder Liu Qi. He will have to restrain his sharpness and wait for action in the future.
"General, I have a plan. Even if there is no physical evidence, I can make Liu Qi's killings and burning corpses known to the public. I can catch him off guard and help the general vent his resentment."
With the posture of a counselor in the world, I imagine that one day when Cai Mao becomes the leader of Jingzhou, Pang Ji will also be such a very popular minister in the seven counties of Jingxiang.
"Oh, Pang Gong has any clever plan, please tell me." Cai Hao immediately became energetic when he heard that Pang Ji had a plan. He completely ignored his identity as his master and acted as if he was all ears to Pang Ji.
"General, the killing of Liu Qi must be slowed down, for fear that the lord may be on guard. After a while, when the burning of corpses and killing of soldiers subsides, the general can quickly send people to Majiazhuang, the hometown of Si Yahuan, to invite him.
The family went to Mr. Liu Qi's house and asked for the four maids to return to their hometown. They said that the mothers were critically ill with typhoid and needed to see their daughters for the last time. Let's see how Liu Qi and the others brought back to life the four maids who had perished in the west.
?”
"Hahaha, hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, so wonderful, just follow Pang Gong's words." Cai Mao was overjoyed when he understood Pang Ji's clever plan, and shouted "Zhang Hu."
"Here." Zhang Hu was dumbfounded as he listened to Pang Ji's suggestions. I bet Pang Ji had so many clever ideas. He would have to take a high look at him in the future.
"Go quickly and tell Chen Sheng that Liu Qi's mansion cannot be surrounded. We only need to keep a close watch on his mansion and conduct strict inspections at the city gates. If there is any abnormality, report it as soon as possible." After laughing, Cai Mao suddenly became more open-minded and waited for Zhang Hu.
After leaving the meeting hall, Cai Hao kicked the chicken ribs away, ordered his servants to clean the room, and then feasted all night. When his subordinates Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng came back with all the arrangements, Cai Hao felt extremely comfortable and invited Pang Ji and other friends to drink until dawn.
