Liu Xin asked incomprehensibly: "Wuling Man."
Jushou respectfully said, "Go back to the lord. His subordinates have also asked Yidu. Only then did I know. There are some Nanbans living in Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang counties."
Nanban is the collective name for the ethnic minorities living in the southern part of the Han Dynasty. The composition of Nanban is very complicated. It can be roughly divided into three tribes: Baiyue, Baipu and Bashu. It is widely distributed in Yizhou, Yangzhou and Guangzhou. Liu Xin didn't expect it. Within the territory of Jingzhou under its own jurisdiction. There are even Nanban residents.
Liu Xin knows. Ethnic conflicts are an important factor affecting social stability. He didn't want to be when he competed in the Central Plains. There is a problem in the rear. So he hurriedly asked: "Then. Why did Wu Lingman rebel. What's the situation now."
Jushou delivered the urgent report from Kuailiang. Said: "Go back to the lord. The Wuling Man rebellion was completely caused by a small incident. Now General Ji De has transferred his troops to the Qing suppression."
Kuailiang's emergency report also didn't say in detail. The rough meaning is to say. A brother of a noble family in Wuling and a woman of the barbarian tribe ganged up with each other. later. The barbaric girl committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. Family members came to the gentry’s home to make a theory. Outnumbered. Was beaten up. Eventually triggered this barbarian rebellion.
Although Liu Xin has been in the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than six years. However, many customs are still not clear. Not to mention the law. Jushou and Tian Feng have always dealt with these matters of trial and conviction. Liu Xin only remembers. In his original era. Such things as adultery can only be regarded as moral corruption. Not enough for crime. I don't understand why this is happening.
Although I heard that Zhang Fei had already led troops to quell the rebellion. Liu Xin still can't rest assured. Jingzhou is his foundation. In recent years, this has been able to get rapid development. It has a great relationship with a peaceful environment. Every effort must be made to calm the situation down. Must not be messy.
Thought of this. Liu Xin groaned: "Gongyou. I want to go to Wuling to deal with this matter myself."
Jushou still remembers what Liu Xin said a few days ago. In his mind. Liu Xin is not only involved in Jingzhou now. It is the people of the whole world. There must be no mistakes. He hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Lord. There are Mr. Zirou and General Ji De. It should be calmed down soon. Why do you need the lord to go out in person."
Liu Xin understands. Since these barbarians live in Jingzhou. The various policies implemented by oneself should also benefit them. under these circumstances. There is still a national rebellion. It shows that there are more or less contradictions between the Han and Manchu tribes in daily life. This adultery incident may be just a fuse but not necessarily. So waved his hand. Said: "Gongyou. You don't need to say any more. This time I have to go. Not only Wuling. I also have to go to Lingling and Guiyang. Get in touch with the barbarian tribes there. Learn what they want. What's there? Difficulty. Whether the Han people. The barbarians. They are all the people of my big man. Only when we live in harmony. The country can last for a long time. During the few days I left Xiangyang, there are important things. You must send someone to hurry up. Report to Jingnan."
Ju conferred on Liu Xin's decision. No longer persuade. Retire quickly. Go and help Liu Xin prepare for all matters of travel.
Ma Yun heard Liu Xin say that he was going to Wuling to solve the barbarian rebellion. There is no objection. She thinks the same as Liu Xin. Turmoil is imminent. The rear must be stabilized. but. She still instructed Liu Xin carefully: "The appearance of Nanban people is not very different from that of Han people. But the customs, temperament, diet, and clothing are not the same. You have to deal with everything carefully when you go there. You should comfort the people of the barbarian people. Lord. Don’t resort to force too much. I heard that barbarians are passionate. You go this time. But be careful. Don’t let them be fascinated."
Bian Yu and Cai Yan listened. They all covered their mouths and snickered "eating". It is his family affair to discuss Liu Xin's trip. It had nothing to do with Cai Jue. I don't know which nerve she got wrong. The ghost followed Cai Yan to this hall in the backyard.
Cai Jue lived in Zhoumufu for three years. Now she has turned into a slender and beautiful girl. But the skin is getting tenderer. I heard this kind of joke between their husband and wife. Can not help but lower his head shyly. When I was at home in the past. Cai Jue once heard his elder brother and sister-in-law talk about the new state shepherd. Mentioned how and how lustful he was many times. Who knows that three years will pass in no time. Master Zhou Mu never touched her a finger. Except Qiaoer in the house. He hasn't touched any other maid. He looks like her brother. Concubine Ji took over twenty rooms. Almost none of the hundred or ten maids in the family escaped the palm of his hand. Cai Jue can't tell by himself now. In the end, I hope Liu Xin will be a gentleman. Still be a lascivious.
Just listen to Liu Xin's face and say: "The barbarian girl is really affectionate. Then I have to bring a few back. In case you cry out someday. I can also find a place to put out the fire. Besides. This is also soothing. Means."
Ma Yun groaned: "You don't have sweet dreams. This time you go to Wuling and bring Qiao'er with you. There is also someone to take care of you."
Qiaoer heard this. Secretly happy. Although she is a general house girl now. But Liu Xin didn't go to her room much on weekdays. Recently, the second wife, third wife and Madam Qian have all become pregnant. She had more opportunities. Gradually tasted the sweetness of Qiaoer. I hope Liu Xin takes her with her every day. Ma Yun also had lasting difficulties. Last time Liu Xin went to Jingnan for more than a month. After coming back, she almost fell apart. At that time, Bian Yu and Zhu Qian shared the burden. Now both of them are pregnant. Can't bear it alone. It would be better to let Qiaoer accompany him. It saves him like a cat who hasn't seen a fishy cat for months.
did not expect. Liu Xin rebuffed: "No. I'm not at home. You have to work here both inside and out. How can you not have a useful person by your side. Qiao'er can't go."
Bian Yu said, "Master. Madam is right. You will go out in the future. There must be a few people waiting for you. Or, let Yinger accompany the master."
There are quite a few pretty maids in the prefecture. But there are not many that are stunning. Only the four sisters Qiao'er, Ying'er, and Ling'er were the only ones that Liu Xin could fancy. Yinger has followed Bian Yu since she was eight years old. Bian Yu had long looked at her at his sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Liu Xin to redeem her from Drunk Hongchen. Not only that. Bian Yu deliberately let her take a clever path. Be a general house girl for Liu Xin. Ying'er had this thought long ago. Just now I heard from my wife that Qiao'er should accompany his master to Jingnan. There is still some pantothenic acid in my heart. At this time, it was full of liking.
Liu Xin heard the words. Turning to look at Ying'er. Seeing her wintry eyes. When Liu Xin met Yinger for the first time. She is only a twelve-year-old girl. A pair of eyes are already watery. Seductive. Now five years have passed. The more charming and moving. Liu Xin looked at her heart stunned. He hurriedly said: "How can you do it. Pi'er is young. You are not convenient. How can Ying'er get away."
Cai Yan smiled and said: "Husband. Don't shy away. Our sisters have already discussed it. This time you always have to bring a useful person by your side to wait. I think let Ling'er go. Here. There is Xiu'er. And sister Cai Jue is helping. You should rest assured."
"Ah." Cai Jue kept lowering his head in silence. Suddenly Cai Yan mentioned her. Can not help but froze. Soon I understood. Nodded very seriously.
Ma Yun smiled and said, "It's settled. Let Ling'er accompany you. If you don't think it's enough. Bring Xiu'er with you. Anyway, there is no shortage of people around Sister Zhaoji. Her mother comes often too. ."
Linger heard this. My heart was pounding. Liu Xin made a rule in the mansion. The maids have reached twenty years old. Must be rationed to domestic slaves as wives. Over the past two years, more than 20 servants have been assigned to domestic slaves. Ling'er is also nineteen years old this year. If I can accompany Liu Xin to Jingnan this time. That was a godsend. Linger also understands. Even if it can be accepted by Liu Xin. It's just the identity of the girl in the room. But at least one's own children can not be slaves. These maids in the mansion now. Who doesn't envy Qiaoer.
Liu Xin also knows. Ma Yun did not really want to send someone to watch him. I just know that his needs in that area are too strong. That's why there is such an arrangement. Liu Xin did not want to entangle too much in this matter. He only remembers that Liu Hong died in the sixth year of Zhongping. As for how many months Liu Hong died. He can't remember. But Liu Xin remembered very clearly. Soon after Liu Hong died. He Jin will send out a message. Call on the princes of the world to come to Beijing to kill eunuchs. Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to control the government. The world is in chaos. The people are displaced. and so. OK. It can't be delayed for a minute. Must set off right away. So he said: "Okay. Then take Ling'er. Ling'er. You quickly pack up. Follow me to Jiangling immediately."
Ling'er hurried out. Xiu'er also rushed over to help her sister tidy up her things. Liu Xin shook Ma Yun's hand and said, "My wife. It's going to work hard for you again at home."
Ma Yun said with tears: "Husband. Be careful all the way."
Liu Yu suddenly hugged Liu Xin's thigh. Said: "Father. I also want to go with you."
Liu Xin looked at Hutou Hunao's son. Laughed. Said: "Yu'er. In the future, there will be opportunities to go out with dad. Now. What you have to do is. Together with your sister, help your mother take care of your younger siblings. Also. Homework is not allowed. Daddy needs to be checked when he comes back. Good. Watch out for flowers."
I heard that I need to check my homework. Liu Yu pouted and stopped talking. In fact, he is only seven years old this year. I won’t go to the academy until the summer. But Ma Yun's discipline is very strict. Plus, Mr. A Chou came to him to compete. He has learned a lot now. Liu Xin does not approve of letting children learn knowledge so early. But Ma Yun can't be awkward. Had to give up.
Dian Wei had gathered all the guards Liu Xin needed to travel. Waiting outside the prefecture, animal husbandry. This time I went to Jingnan. Liu Xin only brought Dian Wei and three hundred flying tiger guards. There are two elite soldiers, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi. No matter what happens, it should be enough to deal with.
Although this time I only went to Wuling. But Ling'er was the only girl in the team. There are many inconveniences. Cai Yan spent a few years with the Linger sisters. They also have feelings for each other. So he gave her the carriage temporarily for her use. The carriage is well-designed. It takes time and effort to build. Many places still need Liu Xin to do it himself. So far, only four ladies have one each.
Ling'er was full of joy. Standing at the door watching the guards carry the boxes into the carriage.
Liu Xin asked: "Ling'er. What are you doing with so many things. It's like sending out a dowry."
Linger Qiao blushed. He bowed his head and dared not answer.
Liu Xin in order to get on the road quickly. Also roll up your sleeves to help. He casually picked up the box beside the carriage. The box is not big. Boxy. It is quite important to start. It weighs more than a hundred kilograms. Can't help but ask in surprise: "It's a heavy box. What's in it. Open it and let me see."
