Liu Xin helped Ma Yun to the side of the bed, she was obviously scared today, and she was still short of breath. Liu Xin looked at the person kneeling in front of the bed, but it was Erya. Just now Liu Xin said that she was going to send her back to Yaxing, she fainted in fright, and after waking up, she has been kneeling here, seeing Liu Xin and Ma Yun coming back, she cried and said: "Master, madam, please don't drive me away, I will do my best in the future, and I will never dare to do this again." ”

Ma Yun looked at Liu Xin, Liu Xin's face sank like water, unmoved, and said: "Erya, no matter what, if you don't have faith, you won't stand." You have lost the trust of me and my wife, and there is no place for you in this mansion anymore. In this way, I wanted to return you to the tooth line, see that you are pitiful, you can go home. ”

Liu Xin said, took out the stack of deeds of sale, lit the lamp in the house, burned it into a pile of ashes, and then said slowly to the children in the house: "From now on, you are no longer slaves of my family, you are all free people, you all go home." ”

The children had just eaten for two days, and no one wanted to leave, Ma Yun saw this scene and said to Liu Xin: "Husband, you just leave them, these are the children of poor families, and they are also pitiful, didn't you say that you would use some people?" ”

"Well, in that case, you should stay first. However, you are no longer domestic slaves, but hired servants of my family, who usually work hard, have time to read and write, and receive some wages every month. Liu Xin thought for a while, then turned to Erya and said, "However, you can't stay, let's leave now!" ”

The second girl sobbed silently and kowtowed to Liu Xin and Ma Yun three times, and said, "Master, Mrs. take care." Then he turned away.

Although Ma Yun couldn't bear it in her heart, she knew that Liu Xin had made up her mind, so she no longer persuaded her, took out a string of copper coins from the bedside, grabbed Erya, stuffed it into her hand and said, "After you go back, you can go." ”

Erya burst into tears, couldn't say a word, gritted her teeth and went out.

Liu Xin sighed and said to the other children, "You all go out." ”

There were only two of them left in the house, and Ma Yun's mood calmed down and asked, "Husband, fortunately, you came back quickly." If Li Cheng brings someone over at dawn, I really don't know what to do. By the way, did you find Zhao Yun? ”

Liu Xin gently hugged her slender waist and said: "Yes, it's all because I didn't think it through, and I almost caused a big disaster, and you will follow me wherever I go in the future." Zhao Yun has been found, and he will come here in a few days. At that time, I felt a little uncertain, so I decided to rush back overnight, but I didn't expect something to happen. I don't know how to end it now. ”

Ma Yun leaned her head on Liu Xin's shoulder and said: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not a weak woman who is powerless, it's no problem to deal with one or two small thieves, you still have to concentrate on thinking about how to deal with these officials, I estimate that they and Li Cheng are mostly in the same party, you still have to be careful." ”

Liu Xin comforted: "Don't be afraid of them." As the saying goes, the soft ones are afraid of the hard, and the hard ones are afraid of the dead, you see that the people brought by Li Cheng were fierce when they came, but they were frightened by Dian Wei and all of them were thin. When I went to Zhaojia Village this time, I happened to encounter robbers who robbed the villagers of their grain. I'm now worried about whether there are such robbers in Hejian County, and if they do, the people under my rule will suffer. Forget it, I don't miss him, let's talk about it when those officials come, you haven't slept all night, let's rest first. It's almost dawn, and I'm going to practice boxing. ”

Liu Xin waited for Ma Yun to lie down, walked to the courtyard, and punched. Li Lin had already woken up, his mouth was stuffed into rags again, and he was looking at Liu Xin in horror. And Dian Wei also wiped the blood stains on the pair of big iron halberds, and was guarding the door in high spirits.

Liu Xin walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is it, are you tired?" ”

Dian Wei grinned and said: "I'm not tired, it's okay if I don't sleep for three days and three nights." It's just not fun to kill. ”

Liu Xin looked up at the red clouds in the sky, the sun was about to come out, thinking of the troubled times that were coming soon, he shook his head and said: "Evil, you stay here, protect your lady, I will meet those officials in front." ”

Dian Wei said: "My lord, no one dares to come here again, I will go with you to meet them." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "No, you can rest in this courtyard." I don't believe it, are they still more powerful than the tiger left by Chen? ”

Walking into the front hall, Changshi Zhang Jun and a group of officials were waiting there, sleepy-eyed and yawning, obviously just called out of the bed. Liu Xin looked at everyone present and said, "Liu has disturbed the good dreams of all the adults." ”

When the officials saw Liu Xin coming out, they hurriedly got up and saluted: "The lower officials have seen the adults." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he also walked to the top, sat down behind a few cases, and said, "You almost won't see me again." ”

Zhang Jun, who never spoke, looked around, and only the only thing missing was Li Cheng and his nephew Li Lin, who listened to Liu Xin's words, and knew that something had changed, so he got up unexpectedly and said, "Why did your lord say this?" ”

Liu Xin said: "Zhang Changshi, please sit down first, and wait for me to speak slowly." In the middle of the night, Captain Li Lin sneaked into my mansion with the intention of doing evil to my wife, and was discovered by my wife and captured her. In the early hours of this morning, Li Cheng, the county prince, actually led the crowd to break into the Taishou Mansion, intending to kill the official. Zhang Changshi, this official asks you, what crime should the two of them be guilty of? ”

When Zhang Jun heard this, there was a sudden change, and the opportunity was rare, but he didn't know how Li Cheng's uncle and nephew were doing now, and whether he should express his position? He hesitated and said, "This ...... This ......"

He didn't know how to answer, but one of them stood up "Huo" and said to Liu Xin: "I don't know where Lord Juncheng and Captain Li are now?" ”

Liu Xin looked at this person coldly and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man replied, "I am a soldier Cao Shi**Yes." Please answer my question first. ”

Liu Xin nodded, knowing that this person must be Li Cheng's hardcore confidant, so he pretended to be dismissive and said, "It turned out to be Master Ma, I don't know what the responsibilities of this soldier Cao Shi are?" ”

** did not answer, but still said aggressively: "Please answer my question first." ”

Liu Xin snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you also know that you call me Lord, am I too shou or are you too shou in this hall?" Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

**Haha laughed and said, "What kind of thing is Taishou!" The first two terms are not obediently gone, and I don't think you will be able to be majestic for a few days. There were a few snickerings from below.

Liu Xin took a few cases: "Bold**, unprecedented!" Are you guilty? ”

** said: "I just want to meet Lord Juncheng, what a crime." ”

Liu Xin sneered and said to a sergeant behind him, "Go, ask General Dian to bring Li Cheng over." ”

The sergeant answered and walked to the back, and there was a deathly silence in the antechamber. After a while, Dian Wei strode in with a package and shouted, "Li Cheng brings it!" After speaking, he shook the package, and a bloody human head fell out of his bones, rolling straight to the feet of **.

Liu Xin said: "**, this is the Li Cheng you want to see, he plotted to assassinate his own official, and he was killed on the spot." Zhang Changshi, ** just despised the official and roared in court, how should I deal with it according to the law? ”

Seeing that Li Cheng had been killed, Zhang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, came to his senses, stood up and said: "Lord Hui, ** is a military position, and according to the law, you should be beaten with thirty military sticks." ”

Liu Xin glanced at the sergeants on the left and right, and shouted: "Take him down with me and execute him on the spot." ”

**Furious: "I see who dares!" ”

The sergeants on the left and right really refused to move forward. All the officials looked at Liu Xin to see what he would do, but they didn't want Liu Xin to smile and said, "Okay, since you don't want these sergeants to beat you, let my bodyguard, General Dian Wei, do it for you." ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he rushed forward with an arrow step, ** Seeing this vicious man, his heart trembled, so he had to step forward with a hard head, and his right hand was a punch according to Dian Wei. Dian Wei didn't dodge, stretched out a big hand, grabbed the fist of the **, and squeezed it hard. **Where can he stop Dian Wei's divine power, the phalanges and metacarpal bones of his right hand were all pinched and shattered, and he screamed "ah" in pain and fainted.

As soon as Dian Wei's hand was released, ** collapsed to the ground like mud. Dian Wei grabbed a military stick and was about to make a move, but Liu Xin stopped him and said, "Wait, wake him up first." ”

The sergeants on both sides had seen Dian Wei kill people with a vicious appearance, and they didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so they took a basin of cold water and splashed it on **. **When I woke up, I still cried out. Dian Wei ignored him, stepped on his back, and hit his ass with a heavy stick, counting "One!" in his mouth. ”

This stick went down, only to hear the crisp sound of "click" accompanied by another scream, the skin on the buttocks was open, and the legs had already been broken by the roots. Dian Wei ignored him, and went down with a stick again, **'s body shook twice, but he didn't scream again.

Dian Wei stopped his hand and said strangely: "This guy is tougher than just now." "I turned over the ** with a stick, but I saw that he was bleeding from seven holes, and he was beaten to death by Dian Wei with two sticks.

General Dian Wei threw his stick aside, and muttered to himself: "This guy is not beaten, it will be over in just two strokes." ”

Liu Xin turned to the sergeants on both sides and said, "Drag the ** outside and clean up here." Liu Xin looked at Dian Wei, who was still standing in the center of the hall, and thought about Ma Yun, who was still a little worried about making up for sleep in the back house, and ordered: "Evil, you go back to the back first, and then send someone to call you if you have something." Dian Wei promised to step back.

Two sergeants wanted to carry the corpse of **, but when they pulled it, ** broke into two pieces and their internal organs flowed to the ground. Some timid civil officials didn't dare to look at it, so they turned their faces away. Rao is Liu Xin has seen the scene where Dian Wei killed Li Cheng, it is much worse than this, and he can't help but shake his head secretly, this Dian Wei really doesn't know the severity, it seems that he will find an opportunity to talk to him in the future, in addition, this Taishou Mansion has killed so many people at once, and the murderous aura is too heavy, should I consider living in another place.

The sergeants simply washed the ground, but blood stains could still be seen. Liu Xin looked at the trembling officials, and said in his heart, this is probably called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
