Mi Zhu hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, hurry up to the state pastor's mansion!" ”

Horses were not allowed in Xiangyang City, and the cavalry could not get up quickly, Mi Zhu quickly caught up, followed them closely, and saw from a distance that the man on the prisoner cart was bowing his head, swaying from side to side with the jolts of the prisoner cart, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

After a while, the group escorting the prisoner car arrived in Dongcheng District. It was heavily guarded, and it was impossible to let so many soldiers inside, so the line stopped. After the handover between the two sides, most of the people were left outside, and only one person with the appearance of a leader was allowed to walk inside with the prisoner car, and even the person driving the car was replaced by a flying tiger guard.

Mi Zhu's carriage was not hindered, and directly entered Dongcheng District. Because his house was originally here, but the Mi family brought too many people, Mi Zhu opened several shops in Xiangyang City. He was restless these days, so he went to the shops in the city to take a look, and today's lunch was also eaten in the shops.

Sure enough, as Mi Zhu expected, this prisoner car was taken to the state governor's mansion. The front foot of the prisoner car had just stopped in front of the state governor's house, and Mi Zhu arrived on the back foot.

At this time, Liu Xin had also gotten the news and walked out of the mansion with Fu Zhu and Dian Wei. As soon as he left the house, Liu Xin smelled a foul smell, which was emanating from the prisoner car. He couldn't help frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is in the car?" ”

The leading officer was Cao Cao's personal soldier captain Wang Tu, he heard Liu Xin's question, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and said with a smile: "Back to your lordship, the car is the 'culprit' you want, Situ Wang Yun." ”

In fact, Liu Xin already knew that the real culprit should be Cao Cao himself, otherwise with the few ministers in the court who supported Liu Xie, they would not have thought of a sneak attack on Xiangyang at all. Since the culprit is Cao Cao himself, of course he has no reason to hand himself over, so Liu Xin has been guessing that if Cao Cao really handed over such a scapegoat, then who would this scapegoat be?

Liu Xin thought about many people, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to hand over Wang Yun. It's not that Liu Xin thinks that Wang Yun is not qualified to be this scapegoat, on the contrary, Liu Xin thinks that Wang Yun is the most qualified to be a scapegoat. It's just that Liu Xin also knew that Wang Yun and Cao Cao were also teachers and friends, and the two had discussed together to deal with Dong Zhuo, and after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he did not expose Wang Yun. Moreover, Wang Yun was the only one among the three dukes who followed Liu Xie's side, and he had a great influence in Shilin, how could Cao Cao hand him over?

However, Cao Cao really handed over Wang Yun as a scapegoat. Not only that, judging from the unkempt and smelly situation of the person in the prisoner car, Wang Yun was not less tortured. It can be seen that Cao Cao should be really ruthless and not miss a trace of old feelings. In fact, how did Liu Xin know that the torture of Wang Yun was not at the instigation of Cao Cao, but just that the villain Wang Tu fell into the ground.

Liu Xin didn't have much of a good impression of Wang Yun, after all, he had sent someone to Xiangyang to assassinate him, and he also gave a secret order to Minchan, so that he didn't dare to get too close to Mink Chan until now. Since such a person has fallen into his own hands, of course Liu Xin will not let him go easily, but how to deal with it is not in a hurry.

Liu Xin waved his hand and said to the guards outside the mansion gate: "Someone, take Wang Yun down, give him a good bath, detain him first, and then try again." ”

Wang Tu has been a cell boss and a fast catcher, and he has never regarded these prisoners as human beings, and he even used these prisoners as a tool to vent his desires. It is precisely because he has such a perverted psychology that he will abuse Wang Yun in every way along the way, and take pleasure in it. Hearing that Liu Xin actually asked people to bathe Wang Yun, Wang Tu showed a disapproving look on his face.

Liu Xin has been paying attention to this person, and seeing that he is tall and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance, but his expression is a little obscene between his demeanor, he can't help asking, "Who are you?" ”

Wang Tu hurriedly said: "The villain is Prime Minister Cao Cheng's personal soldier captain Wang Tu, who was ordered by the prime minister to escort Wang Yun, and now Wang Yun has been handed over to the adult, I don't know if the adult can have any tokens for the villain to bring back, so as to return to the prime minister." ”

Liu Xin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that for such an important matter, Cao Cao only sent a personal captain to escort the handover.

However, Liu Xin quickly figured out that Cao Cao did this just to show that he didn't take himself seriously at all, which was the same reason as he dragged it out until the last day to hand over the "culprit", just trying to save some face.

It's the same with Liu Xin, he doesn't care who Cao Cao uses as the "culprit", the important thing is that Cao Cao is willing to hand over such a "culprit". Xiangyang was attacked by Cao Cao, although it did not succeed, but if Liu Xin did not take a little retaliatory measures, he would not only be ridiculed by the princes, but also very likely to affect the morale of the army and the people. Now that Cao Cao has handed over the "culprit", Liu Xin can be regarded as Cao Cao's bow and admit his mistake about the sneak attack on Xiangyang.

As for whether Cao Cao sincerely admits his mistakes, then Liu Xin can't care about it, he just needs to give an explanation to the people of Xiangyang and the princes of the world. What Liu Xin needs most now is to recuperate, not to make a big move. After figuring this out, Liu Xin didn't need to worry about who Cao Cao sent over, so he nodded and said, "Captain Wang has worked hard all the way, you can go to the post house to rest for a few days first, enjoy the scenery of Xiangyang, and then I will repair a reply for you to bring to Meng De." But all of you have to hand over your weapons and return them to you when you leave, you know? ”

In fact, not to mention the envoys of the princes from all over the world, even the merchants who came from the south to the north also carried swords, which could defend themselves first, and secondly, the saber was also a symbol of status. It's just that Wang Tu's group has hundreds of people, and if they are allowed to wander around the city with knives and guns, there may be some trouble, so Liu Xincai especially emphasized that they should hand over their weapons.

Wang Tucai didn't care if Liu Xin allowed him to carry weapons, he was not a piece of war material, eating, drinking and having fun was his forte, he had heard that Xiangyang City was extremely prosperous, and he couldn't wait to stay a few more days, Liu Xin's words hit his heart, and he hurriedly thanked him. A guard had already come over and took him down.

Mi Zhu waited beside him, and waited until Wang Tu retreated, then he stepped forward and said, "Grass people Mi Zhu greets your lord." ”

Liu Xin had already noticed him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why is Mr. Zizhong so polite today, it won't be for that 'culprit'." ”

Mi Zhu was told by Liu Xin, his old face turned red, and he said: "Don't dare to hide it from adults, Mi is here for this matter." How can you be sure that Cao Cao sent over the 'culprit'? Aren't adults afraid that Cao Cao will get someone to bluff him? ”

Fu Zhi knew Liu Xin's thoughts, and he was in charge of the phantom, so he naturally knew the ins and outs of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu's sneak attack on Jingzhou together, and he took a step forward and said: "Mr. Zizhong is too worried, this person is Situ Wang Yun, one of the three dukes, who hijacked the puppet emperor Liu Xie and fled Luoyang, and secretly colluded with Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Yan Baihu, all of which were done by this person, and there is absolutely no falsehood. This is exactly what my lord wants to ask for! ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he didn't feel that the world was spinning, and his face turned white as soon as he "brushed", thinking that if he held on for another half a day, this matter would pass, but he didn't expect that what should have come finally came.

Liu Xin knew that Mi Zhu cared about the people of Xuzhou, and when she saw him looking miserable, she couldn't bear it, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Mr. Liu can understand his feelings, Liu will definitely order a letter to Cao Cao, telling him not to kill innocents indiscriminately no matter what." If Mr. is still not at ease, Mr. Liu wants to appoint Mr. to appease the envoy and go to Jiangxia, Wujun and other places to set up refugee camps to accommodate the people of Xuzhou who have left their hometowns because of the war. ”

Pacifying Mi Zhu had never heard of this official position, and the refugee camp was even more unheard of, but he understood the general duties. When he was in Xuzhou, he would open a porridge shed every disaster year, and the refugee camp that Liu Xin said in his understanding was probably similar to the meaning of relief for the victims, but it was just run by the government.

Mi Zhu didn't care about the level of the official position, so he gladly accepted Liu Xin's appointment, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates are willing to serve the Lord and the public!" ”

Liu Xin bowed his head and said: "Zizhong, the affairs of the refugee camp are not so simple, not only to build tents and prepare food for those people who have fled, but also to prevent epidemics, but also to find ways to find some work for these people, so that they can support themselves and get out of the shadow of being uprooted as soon as possible." ”

Mi Zhu was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that there were still so many Taoists in the refugee camp. However, for the sake of the people in his hometown, no matter how difficult it is, he can't back down. Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "My subordinates will never live up to the high expectations of the lord!" ”

Liu Xin nodded with satisfaction and said, "With your words, Liu is relieved." In this way, Zizhong, you go to find Yuan Hao, and he will arrange manpower for you and allocate money and food. ”

Seeing Mi Zhu leaving in a hurry, he asked in frustration: "Why did the lord think of setting up this refugee camp?" Xuzhou has a million household registration, if you know that the lord has set up a refugee camp, when the war breaks out, he will definitely be rushing over, which is a big burden. ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "It depends on which angle you stand on, and different angles can draw different conclusions." If you look at these fleeing people as a burden, then they will definitely become a burden. If you treat these fleeing people as a precious resource, they will surely surprise you! ”
