Chapter 695: Liu Bei's Death

At this time, Liu Bei finally understood that this was a trap set by Liu Xin, and Liu Xin still wanted to take his life. In fact, all this was forced by Liu Bei. It has always been a taboo for the king to be excessively involved in the affairs of the prince. Although Liu Xin is not an emperor now, Liu Bei is not a courtier in the true sense. Since Liu Bei has been tossing around in this matter repeatedly, of course Liu Xin will not let him go.

However, after all, Liu Bei had the credit for saving Liu Bang, and he didn't clearly say that he wanted Liu Xin to make Liu Bang the son of the world, but he was just working hard behind his back, and Liu Xin really had no suitable reason to put him to death.

Liu Xin racked his brains and finally came up with such an insidious trick. This trick is too insidious, of course I can't tell Ma Yun, and for upright gentlemen like Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, they won't be willing to do this kind of dirty business. Only a barbarian man like Feng Lie would not have so many concerns, so Liu Xin handed over this task to Feng Lie.

Liu Bei is lustful, Liu Xin knows this very well. Historically, Liu Bei was once immersed in Sun Shangxiang's gentle township and couldn't extricate himself. And in this era that Liu Xin traveled over, Liu Bei did not hesitate to transfer Guan Yu far away for Du Xiuniang. Therefore, if Liu Bei wants to indulge in wine and not do his job, the best way is to send him a peerless beauty.

But Liu Xin couldn't find such a peerless beauty to give to Liu Bei. Because Liu Bei is very able to forbear, he can endure a rare beauty like Gan Mei without touching it. To make Liu Bei tempted, I am afraid that her beauty must reach the level of Du Xiuniang and Diao Chan. However, Liu Xin believes that Sun Shangxiang's beauty should not be as good as that of Minchan and others, and the reason why Liu Bei was able to be fascinated by her was probably more because she was forced to have a strong female escort team by her side. In order to save his life, Liu Bei had to sit side by side with Sun Shangxiang, and try his best to pretend to be affectionate.

Therefore, Liu Xin thought of the road of using strength. Liu Xin deliberately only left Liu Bei ten days, so that the suspicious Liu Bei always felt that Liu Xin sent him to Rinan to find an opportunity to harm him. However, every time Liu Bei is about to despair, things will always take a turn for the better. Slowly, Liu Bei believed that Liu Xin didn't want his life. As soon as Liu Bei's thinking relaxed, he would not be so resistant to the "upside down flowers" of those women.

The choice of these women is also extremely crucial, if it is the delicate daughter of the Han family, it is impossible to pick Liu Bei's flower. Only these powerful women of different races can control Liu Bei well. These women are all like wolves, and they are people who have been absent for a long time, and after doing it once, they are like water that opens the floodgates, and they can't take it if they want to. Under the lure, naturally spare no effort.

Ten days later, Liu Xin also received a report on Liu Bei's movements in Xiangyang. For twenty days in Xijuan, Liu Bei stayed at home as he did when he was in Xiangyang. In fact, it's not that Liu Bei wants to stay at home, but that he can't walk at all. His body was getting thinner and thinner, but his legs were getting heavier and heavier.

In the first few days, Liu Bei still had a chance to fight back and maintain the dignity of a man, but later, he could only be in the posture of a woman and a man, and it was difficult for him to even turn over. But the four women were like a bottomless pit that could not be fed, and they took turns to fight every day, even when Liu Bei fell asleep.

After another ten days, Liu Bei finally couldn't hold it anymore and began to cough violently, and after coughing, he actually began to vomit blood. And the four women still didn't mean to let him go, and continued to ask for it until Liu Bei died.

Liu Bei was a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, and suddenly died in Rinan County, which was a great event, which naturally caused a rush in the county and county governments, and Feng Lie also rushed over from Jiaozhi with his guards. Experienced catchers and workers at the county and county levels also began to work together to conduct on-site investigations.

Because Liu Bei's temporary residence is the Taishou Mansion in Rinan County, which is located in the center of Xijuan City, when he heard about such a big event, many people suddenly poured in from all directions to watch the excitement. Fortunately, there were soldiers under Feng Lie to maintain order, and although there were many people at the scene, it was not chaotic.

The catchers inspected the doors and windows of the small courtyard where Liu Bei lived, and found that everything was intact, first ruling out the possibility of outsiders sneaking in to cause harm. The servants also picked up the silver needle and pricked Liu Bei's corpse a few times, still shining silver, proving that there was no sign of poisoning. The most bizarre thing is that Liu Bei's body is naked, described as withered, except for a large stain on the lower body, there are no wounds.

At this time, the prefectural magistrate began to question the four women. The four women had already unified their caliber, and in the face of several big masters sitting in the hall, two classes of majestic officials, and hundreds of people watching the excitement outside the door, they did not have the slightest scruples, and always insisted that after Liu Bei came to Xijuan, he pestered them to do that kind of thing all day long, causing their legs to be sore, and they had to shake when they walked.

The magistrates at the two levels of Ninan Taishou and Xijuan County Commander saw that these four women did not have any appearance, and after listening to their confessions, they still had many doubts, but they heard that Feng Lie had already put on a straight face and said, "Someone! Close the gate and blast out the people who are watching the excitement outside the door! ”

Taishou ** hurriedly said: "General Qiyufeng, the lord has a strict order, unless it involves extreme privacy, the people must be allowed to listen to the trial. ”

Feng Lie waved his hand and said, "This case not only involves stability, but also involves the face of the big man, how can this matter be allowed to spread?" Close the door! ”

**Helpless, he hurriedly waved his hand, and waited for the official to close the door of the mansion, and then he arched his hand and said, "Did the general see the cause of Lord Liu's death?" ”

Feng Lie said without thinking: "This is not simple, Liu Bei is clearly overindulgent and exhausted." His official rank is still above you, you say, if this kind of thing spreads, will it damage the face of the big man? ”

** frowned, and said: "Judging from the situation of the investigation, it is very consistent with the general's inference, but the lower official thinks that there is probably another hidden situation here." ”

Feng Lie said unhappily: "You say, what is the secret?" ”

**Thinking that Feng Lie was dissatisfied with his suspicion of his inference, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Actually, there is nothing, it's just that Xiaguan's hometown is in Qingzhou Pingyuan County, and Lord Liu once served as a county magistrate in Pingyuan, Yu Minqiu has not committed any crimes, he is quite virtuous, and he doesn't seem to be a womanizer, besides, these women are too ......."

Feng Lie waved his hand and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Liu Bei was also a prince in the past, and he hadn't seen any kind of beauty. Later, the army was defeated in Xuzhou, first descended Yuan Shu, and then descended to the lord, but he was a repeated villain, naturally not treated by the lord, and never entrusted with a heavy task. Recently, the lord wants to promote my Han culture in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, so he sent Liu Bei here to ......"

** Suddenly realized: "Oh, Xia Guan understands, Lord Liu must be a talented person." ”

Feng Lie patted his thigh and said, "Not bad!" You're to the point. Lord Liu didn't meet his talents, and after arriving in the Western Scroll, he inevitably gave up on himself, so he indulged in lust. You see, I won't even let go of such goods. ”

** After pondering for a moment, he said: "The lower official understands, so that the cause of Liu Bei's death will be announced according to the general's inference, so as not to panic in the city." ”

Since the Han army occupied Jiaozhou, the area around Jiaozhou has been calm and quiet, and there has been no homicide for a long time, let alone what happened to a high-ranking official from Sipin, ** is a competent magistrate, and his first thought is to stabilize people's hearts.

Feng Lie said repeatedly: "It's not proper! In this way, what face does the Han court have? According to General Ben, it will be announced to the public that he died of water and soil adaptation. ”

Originally, in the eyes of **, Feng Lie was just a military general, and a barbarian, so he was naturally just a rough man. I didn't expect Feng Lie to think about it so thoroughly, ** couldn't help but look at him with admiration, nodded again and again and said, "It's still the general who is right." It's just that how to deal with these women, please show the general! ”

When the women heard that they were coming, their eyes widened and they looked at Feng Lie with a blank saga.

I only heard Feng Lie say lightly: "Lord Liu died because of the water and soil, and it can be regarded as a martyrdom for the country." These women were his wives and concubines, and the state naturally had to give them generous pensions. In this way, each of them shall be given 100 acres of fertile land, 500 taels of silver, and 20 horses of silk, so that they may enjoy the rest of their lives in peace." ”

**Suddenly I felt relieved. He was still worried just now, since Liu Bei's death involved the face of the big man, would Feng Lie kill these women? If Feng Lie really wanted to do this, he would have no way to stop it, but as a magistrate of Rinan, he couldn't protect his people, which was a very sad thing.

Now, Feng Lie's arrangement not only allows ** to no longer have to worry about the safety of those women, but also protects the reputation of Liu Bei, whom he has always respected. ** couldn't help but be more respectful to Feng Lie, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the general, the lower official will arrange it." ”

Feng Lie waved his hand and said: "Rinan is poor, how much surplus wealth can the county government have, this money is still paid by the army first, and then it will be decided when Feng is the lord of the palace." ”

Although the people outside the door were dispersed, they couldn't hear the discussion in the lobby, but Liu Bei's death was too bizarre, and the discussion about this matter in the teahouse restaurant became more and more intense, and several versions appeared successively. The most logical version of this is Feng Lie's inference, which is also the most satisfying to the curiosity of the people, and this inference has been quietly confirmed by the county officials, so it quickly spread. Of course, the most important thing is that for such rumors, Feng Lie, who really holds the power in Jiaozhou, has not made great efforts to control it, and the ** who really wants to control it does not have much manpower and prestige, so this "rumor" spreads farther and farther.
