Chapter 49: First Arrival in Xiangyang

It turned out that Zhang Jiao sent his proud disciple Tang Zhou to Luoyang to deliver a letter to Ma Yuanyi. Tang Zhou was timid, and when he saw that the walls of Luoyang were high and deep, and the garrison was tight, he felt a little drumming in his heart. After entering the capital, it happened that Zhang Rang got Liu Xin's information, and decent people kept an eye on Feng Zhen and Ma Yuanyi. Feng Yu 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 in his heart, so he simply went straight to the Taiwei Mansion to report and surrender.

At this time, the Taiwei was Yang Ci, he was originally Situ, because the previous time he wrote that Zhang Jiao's matter was fruitless, he asked for a sick begging to take a break, Liu Hong was not allowed, and he was reappointed as a Taiwei. Yang Ci received a secret report, which coincided with what he had played before, and immediately entered the palace to ask to see Liu Hong. At that time, Zhang Rang happened to be waiting by Liu Hong's side, and after listening to Yang Ci's secret report, he said that he had already discovered the movements of Ma Yuanyi and others, found out their whereabouts, and asked for an order to arrest them. Liu Hong favored Zhang Rang and immediately approved.

Zhang Rang got the holy decree, and did not arrest Ma Yuanyi first, but found Feng Zhen and Xu Feng and told the truth, these two people were afraid in their hearts, and transferred all the gold and silver cloth they got to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang arranged for people to capture Ma Yuanyi with one blow, but he only said a few words to Liu Hong, and washed away the guilt of the two of them.

Liu Hong ordered in court to sentence Ma Yuanyi to a car split in the downtown of Luoyang, that is, to divide the corpses of the five horses. The three dukes were ordered to investigate the palace and provincial guards and the internal and external officials, and all those who had traffic angles were executed, and more than 1,000 people were killed in Luoyang City at that time. He also sent a decree to Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and ordered him to strictly take the Zhang Jiao brothers. There was a great chaos in Beijing and Jizhou.

Liu Xin in Xinye did not get news from the capital. Early the next morning, Liu Xin left Zhang He to guard Xinye. There were more than 500 officers and soldiers in Xinye, and Liu Xin told Zhang He to recruit a group of people to repair the city wall and pay attention to 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 was divided into seven counties, not the nine counties of Jingxiang in Liu Xin's impression. These seven counties have three counties of Nanyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia in the north of the Yangtze River, and four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang in the south of the Yangtze River. Jingzhou's administrative office is located in Xiangyang, which Liu Xin knows. Although the history of Jingzhou has been vacant for two years, Xiangyang is still the most prosperous city in Jingzhou. The Assassin's Mansion originally had 3,000 guards, but now it has been disbanded by Nanjun Taishou Beiyu. There are four major families in Xiangyang, namely Cai, Kuai, Chen, and Wang, and the army, government affairs, and economy in Xiangyang are all in the hands of these four 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 of Jingzhou at once, he made up his mind, was down-to-earth, and first controlled Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Xinye, and then made plans.

Because Fancheng and Xiangyang are 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 Ling Cai Mao and many officials and gentry have been waiting for a long time.

Cai Mao is also a celebrity in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Xin couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and saw that he was born with a dignified appearance, and there was a heroic air between his eyebrows, not like a villain, so he asked: "You are Cai Mao?" ”

Cai Mao saw that the newcomer Lord Mu Liu of Jingzhou seemed to be very interested in him, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, the next official is Cai Mao, the word Deqi, and the Xiangyang people." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but be happy, I didn't check the household registration, why did you answer so much, thinking that this person was Liu Biao's brother-in-law, Liu Biao married his sister as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, and couldn't help but ask again: "Do you still have a sister?" ”

Cai Mao wondered in her heart, her sister is only eleven years old this year, how does he know, isn't he married yet? If this is the case, he can consider marrying his sister to him in a few years, so he said: "Lord Hui, Xiaguan does have a sister, and she is still waiting to be written." ”

Liu Xin found that everyone around him was looking at him with strange eyes, and then he realized what he said, how could he ask if anyone had a sister in front of so many people, so he had to pretend to cough twice and asked, "Do you still have two younger brothers?" ”

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Lord Liu was really checking my household registration, and muttered: "Xiaguan has two younger brothers and an older sister." ”

Liu Xin took the opportunity to snort and said, "In this way, you can't be wrong, it's really you." When I was in Hejian, I once heard that there was a Cai Mao in Xiangyang, who had lived in Jiangdong for a long time and was familiar with water warfare. But I wondered when he would have another sister come out.

Cai Mao listened to Liu Xin's words, and realized that the state pastor had heard of him a long time ago, and the meaning of his words seemed to be quite appreciative of himself, and he suddenly became happy, and welcomed Liu Xin into Xiangyang in a fart, wanting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him.

Liu Xin felt that her performance today was a little embarrassing, so she politely declined Cai Mao's kindness and wanted to go back to the house to rest first.

Although the history of the assassin has been vacant for a long time, and the guards are gone, the assassin's mansion is still there, and now it is naturally changed to the state pastoral mansion. The state pastoral mansion occupies a huge area, with more than 10 courtyards and 180 houses, but it has been uninhabited for a long time, and some places have begun to fall into dilapidation. When Cai Mao got the news of Liu Xin's appointment, it was too late to repair, so he ordered someone to clean it up early in the morning, and arranged more than ten maid slaves. Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Cai Yong, Han Xi, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others naturally lived with him in the state pastor's mansion, and Kuai Liang's original home was in Xiangyang, and when Liu Xin settled down, he went home.

After dinner, Ma Yun waited left and right in the room, but when she didn't see Liu Xin come in, she knew that he went directly to the study when she asked. Ma Yun was a little strange, she had never seen Liu Xin work so hard, and she was curious and came to the study. I saw that Liu Xin was buried in a large pile of books, which were all materials about Jingzhou that he asked Kuai Liang and Cai Mao to send.

Ma Yun couldn't help laughing: "Husband, you haven't rested so late, and you're going to have a new official take office three times?" ”

Liu Xin looked up and saw that it was Ma Yun, and also laughed: "Wife, you can't do it if you don't work hard." If he doesn't work hard, Cao Ying will play a play of Bronze Bird Deep Palace Lock Ma Yun. ”

Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed "eating", pushed him and said, "You are really jealous." ”

Liu Xin took her in his arms and said, "I'm not jealous, the world is going to be chaotic, don't think about it, what can I do to protect your mother and son." I don't have the chic I was now, I want to steal from whoever I want to steal back then, and I can send money to whoever I want, how happy I am. To this day, I have a headache when I look at this large pile of broken bamboo. ”

Ma Yun pinched his arm and said, "You are now a state pastor, and you are still thinking about being a thief, your surname is really hard to change." If you have a headache, you will see it tomorrow. Hmmm......"

Liu Xin's hand had already reached into Ma Yun's clothes, stroked her snow-white jade peak, and gently pinched it on the red cherry.

Ma Yun couldn't help moaning, "snapped" and knocked his salty pig hand off, and said coquettishly: "What are you doing, this is the study." ”

Liu Xin looked at Ma Yun, who was blushing, kissed her earlobe, and said, "Let's have an office passion." ”

Although Ma Yun was also a little emotional, she refused to talk to him, pushed him away and said, "It's time to breastfeed my son." Don't be too tired, come back early and rest. ”

No matter how you can't starve your son, Liu Xin sighed and let her go. Ma Yun looked at him with an aggrieved look, covered her mouth and smiled and went back to the back house. This time, Liu Xin naturally had no intention of reading the scroll anymore, and followed back to the back, but saw Qiao'er sitting outside gently shaking the cradle, and Liu Yu was sleeping sweetly in it, so he knew that he had fallen for Ma Yun.

Liu Xin couldn't wait to enter the room, Ma Yun had already taken off her makeup, and was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him with a wicked smile. Liu Xin pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, if you don't beat you for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles, it seems that today the husband is going to use the family law." ”

Ma Yun's chest straightened, and her mouth pouted: "Hmph, who is afraid of anyone in today's society, you can let the horse come." ”

After a while, the swaying sound of the "squeaky crunch" bed and the coquettish moaning of "mmmm" spread, wave after wave, the husband and wife have not had the opportunity to make love for half a month, this time it naturally made the earth-shattering, but it was bitter Qiao'er who coaxed Xiao Liu Yu to sleep outside, and it was destined that tonight would be a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Liu Xin got up from the bed refreshed as usual, Ma Yun was woken up by him, and did not turn over and continue to sleep as in the past, but tried to open his eyes and force himself to get up. Liu Xin asked strangely: "Wife, if you are tired, you will sleep for a while, what are you doing so early?" ”

Ma Yun glanced at him and said: "Several big families live in this mansion, and I also have a lot of things to do, which places need to be repaired, which places need to be cleaned and cleaned, and they have to take out a charter, how can I sleep." After saying that, he sat up, but his legs went limp, and he lay down again.

Liu Xin looked at her embarrassment and couldn't help laughing: "Wife, don't hold on if you can't do it, your body is important." ”

Ma Yun closed her eyes and said coquettishly: "It's not that I blame you, I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all." ”

Liu Xin pulled the quilt, helped her re-cover it, and said with a smile: "I don't know who was so crazy last night, I still want it." ”

Ma Yun made a gesture to hit him, but his arm was raised but he didn't have any strength, Liu Xin ran out of the room with a smile, and saw Qiao'er lying on the edge of the cradle asleep, Liu Xin walked out lightly.

As soon as he went out, Qiao'er opened her eyes. The old lady tossed all night, so that Xiaoxiao didn't fall asleep over and over, got up early, just lay on the edge of the cradle to take a nap, and was woken up by his two flirtatious scolding, listening to those love words, she didn't dare to raise her head, and finally waited for the old man to go out, then secretly sighed, alas, how can I live this in the future.

Liu Xin had to fight boxing and practice martial arts as usual before going to breakfast. When he came to the front hall and sat down, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Kuai Liang, Cai Yong, Han Xi, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Cai Mao were already waiting, and there was a man in his thirties, after Kuai Liang's introduction, Liu Xin knew that it was his younger brother Kuai Yue.
