Guan Yu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Where did he go?"
The soldiers lowered their hands and said: "General Qin left the post with the grain merchant named Song last night after dark. The city gate was closed at that time. They should be still in Guangling City. The brothers have already looked around for their whereabouts. went,"
Not long after, another soldier ran in and crossed his hand and said, "Report to the general. The brothers have found out that General Qin stayed in the brothel last night and has not yet risen."
Guan Yu felt furious and said, "Catch them to see me,"
At that time, officials were not forbidden to use prostitutes and whoring. If it was during the peaceful season, some of the brothels with red card girls would be bustling with traffic and lively. After Qin Yi delivered the grain and grass last night, even if his task was completed, he would have nothing to do. There is nothing wrong with visiting the brothel. The soldiers didn’t understand why Guan Yu had such a big fire, so they looked at each other and were all stunned.
Guan Yu yelled at them, "Hurry up,"
Only then did the two guards woke up, and slipped out rolling and crawling.
Guan Yu squeezed the steamed bun to pieces with a fierce force. Of course he knew that Qin Yi was innocent, but he was angry. He was feeling worthless for Du Xiuniang.
When shopkeeper Qin Yi and Song shopkeeper were brought in, they were all in untidy clothes. They were arrested by Guan Yu’s soldiers. Shopkeeper Song looked blank, and shopkeeper Qin Yi’s eyes were loose, and his sleepiness was still alive. Song The shopkeeper walked by himself, and Qin Yi was almost dragged in by two soldiers. He is still weak in his legs and cannot take a step.
Guan Yu looked at the embarrassed appearance of these two men, and became even more angry. He patted a few cases fiercely, and said loudly, "Come on, drag them out and blame the thirty army sticks."
Shopkeeper Song yelled for being wronged.
Guan Yu said in a deep voice, "What is wrong,"
Shopkeeper Song said firstly: "Enlighten General. Although Xiaomin is a businessman, he always abides by the law. The food delivered will never be too short of a catty, let alone misuse. Someone must have framed Xiaomin and General Qin. The general observes,"
In order to be able to get close to Qin Yi smoothly and get the information Liu Xin needed, Jushou also paid a lot of money, so that the shopkeeper Song brought all the good grains, and he also put a lot of money on it. In fact, These grain businesses didn’t make a penny at all, and even made a slight loss. Shopkeeper Song thought that Guan Yu’s sudden questioning was that something went wrong with the grain shipped yesterday, so he hurriedly stated that he had sent this batch of money to him. The goods are still very confident,
Guan Yu was stunned. The food Qin Yi sent yesterday did help him solve the big problem. Moreover, the treasurer Song is not a member of the army. It seems that he is a little inappropriate to deal with the treasurer Song by military methods. Come for food, and send this meal, step back first,"
Then Qin Yi heard that he was going to be subjected to a military stick. He was in a cold sweat, and his mind was so clear. Now, seeing Guan Yu sparing the treasurer of Song, he also cried out injustice loudly.
Guan Yu sneered and said: "Qin Yi, you have a sweet wife and a young son in your family, but you are sleeping outside. How to win a husband and a father? It is still light to beat you. Get out,"
When treasurer Song heard, it turned out that the roots came from here. In that case, he had harmed Qin Yi. He hurriedly said, "General Qi, General Qin was unwilling to go. It is Xiaomin who should die, and force General Qin to go in. Yes, in this way, the guilt is still on Xiaomin, who is willing to suffer these thirty army sticks for General Qin."
Guan Yusu emphasizes love and justice, and has a temperament that eats soft but not hard. Hearing that treasurer Song could take the initiative to blame himself, he knelt there and begged, the expression on his face gradually eased, and said, "In that case. , Then each is responsible for ten sticks,"
Shopkeeper Song was very clever. When the personal soldiers dragged them out of the study, he quietly promised them ten taels of silver after finishing the work. So when these ten sticks came down, even though the buttocks of Qin Yi and Song shopkeepers were ragged, It was dripping with blood, but it didn't hurt the bones at all. It's just that Qin Yi was overworked and tired last night. After eating this meal, Jinger fainted, and actually concealed it from Guan Yu.
Seeing this scene, Guan Yu was quite satisfied with the law enforcement of the soldiers, nodded, and said: "These two people are good at transporting food, let them rest next door first."
Shopkeeper Song reluctantly lay down on the low couch and glanced at Qin Yi, who was lying next to him still in a coma. He couldn't help but feel relieved. With the experience of sharing hardships with Qin Yi, the relationship between the two must have gone to the next level. If you want to ask him about something, do you still worry about his reluctance to tell the truth
In the study, the guards had already retired. Guan Yu sat cross-legged behind a few cases, holding a volume of "Spring and Autumn", his eyes were piercing, but he didn't see a word. Although Qin Yi brought a lot of food, it was also Only enough for the military and civilians of Guangling to support for more than half a month. After half a month, where will the food needed come from
Guan Yu knew that there were not many grains in Xuzhou, and he was not a last resort. He didn't want to cause trouble to his elder brother Liu Bei, so he should try his best to solve this dilemma by himself. He couldn't help but think of the Song who came with Qin Yi. Grain merchants,
During the execution just now, Guan Yu heard Qin Yi cried and called his mother a few times at first, and then he must have fainted and heard no more, but the shopkeeper Song did not yell from beginning to end. It can be seen that this person is also A tough guy, Guan Yu’s impression of Song’s shopkeeper can’t help but a little better. What makes Guan Yu even more interested is that nowadays there is a turmoil everywhere, this surname Song can actually get so much food, it’s really not easy, and it’s a talented person. If you want to solve the food shortage in Guangling, I am afraid that you have to fall on the surname Song. This is also the reason why Guan Yu arranged Qin Yi and Song treasurer next door and did not immediately expel them from the prefectural palace.
Suddenly, there was a painful cry of "Ouch" from the next door, and then, I heard the treasurer Song say in surprise: "General Qin, you are awake,"
The ears of martial artists are better than ordinary people. Besides, Guan Yu is still a master. The soundproofing effect of this house is not very good. The dialogue between the two people over there is clearly transmitted, and Guan Yu can't help but raise his ears. I want to hear what they are saying,
Just listen to Qin Yi said: "Treasurer Song, thanks to you speaking for Qin this time, you don't have to be called generals anymore. You and I can be called brothers."
After a period of silence, I heard the treasurer Song say: "Xiaomin didn't dare to climb high, but during this period of time, Xiaomin and the general have met each other very much. Xiaomin courageously, I will call you Brother Qin from now on."
Qin Yi said happily: "Brother virtuous, that should be the case, haha, ouch..."
I think Qin Yi accidentally touched the wound and then exhaled in pain.
Guan Yu nodded secretly. This Qin Yi can know the gratitude and hand it over, but it is not hopeless. With the relationship between Qin Yi and the treasurer Song, it must be easy to ask the treasurer Song to do the food. too much,
The sigh of the treasurer Song next door came over again: "Oh, in fact, I also blamed me for today's affairs. General Guan was right. Brother Qin had such a virtuous wife in his house, but I took Brother Qin and stayed in the brothel all night. You and I really deserve to fight, and I hope General Qin Xiu will hate General Guan."
The treasurer Song was so aware that Guan Yu secretly raised his thumb.
But after hearing Qin Yi's "hum" sneer, he said: "Brother Xian, you and I can now be said to be friends of life and death. I don't hide some things from you. Guan Yu blames my family for having a sweet wife and a young son. It’s a bit inside,"
Guan Yu didn't expect that his thoughts would have been seen through by Qin Yi long ago, and he felt a bit hot. Fortunately, no one else was present. In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are other people present. He was born with a red face, no one could tell. ,
Shopkeeper Song has already yelled out: "Brother Qin is so nonsense. When the younger brother was in Hebei, he had heard of General Guan’s reputation. General Guan has always been loyal and righteous. He is by no means comparable to those erotic men. Moreover, Brother Qin seems to say so. Unfair to sister-in-law,"
When Guan Yu heard the treasurer Song helping him to speak, he felt a little peace of mind. Qin Yi had clearly noticed what he liked about Du Xiuniang. However, he did not make any substantive actions, and he was not worried about his reputation.
Of course Qin Yi didn't know that Guan Yu was eavesdropping on their conversation next door. He sighed and said in a low voice, "Originally, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but in front of the brothers, Qin can't take care of his face anymore. Let Guan Yu be lustful. , It is even more polite on the surface, but in the bones the male thief and the female prostitution,"
Shopkeeper Song said in a panic: "Brother Qin said carefully, Brother Qin said carefully,"
Qin Yi's voice grew louder instead, and said angrily: "What he did, can't I say it, alas, Jiannei has long been confessed to Liu Bei,"
At first I heard Qin Yi scold Liu Bei for theft of male prostitutes, and Guan Yu became angry. If he hadn't counted on the treasurer Song to help him get food, he wanted to draw out his sword and split Qin Yi into two pieces. Later, I heard that Liu Bei had already cut him down. Du Xiuniang, who was thinking about it in the night, got her hands on her hands. It was like a thunderstorm in the sunny day. Guan Yu only felt that the sky was spinning. It took him a long time to recover. She repeatedly persuaded herself that it was impossible. This is absolutely impossible. It must be Qin Yi’s slander. My elder brother,
But when Qin Yi's tone softened, he sighed: "Virtuous brother, don't laugh at being a brother. No one would be ashamed or shameful when a man encounters this kind of thing, but what else can I do? As soon as I left, but what about the sweet wife and young children in the family, I can only bear it, and I finally understand now why Liu Bei’s servant had to escort me to Guangling with grain and grass."
Shopkeeper Song said in shock: "Could it be that Liu Bei wants to get rid of you by Guan Yu's hand,"
Qin Yi smiled bitterly: "That's not true. During this time, Brother Xian often walks around my house. Then Liu Bei is afraid that his brother will break his good deeds and dare not go to my house to entangle Jiani, so he made this. Tact, transfer me out of Xuzhou, now, this Liu Bei is probably going to my house."
In fact, Qin Yi's guess was wrong. Liu Bei just left Qin's house contentedly and went busy with Xuzhou's official business.
Shopkeeper Song will naturally not let go of the great opportunity to divorce Qin Yi and Liu Bei's relationship, and gritted his teeth and said: "I used to hear people say how virtuous Liu Bei is, but I didn't expect to be a hypocrite. He really knows others and does not know his heart."
