Fei Shuang's heart sank after hearing that Lu Qiling called Liu Xin "Godfather". Hearing Liu Xin's questioning, he began to talk about his current situation and did not dare to say anything. hide,
Three years ago, Fei Shuang was taken by Cheng Yu from Chengdu to Xiangyang as a prisoner of war. Although she only met Liu Xin, the scene was enough to make her unforgettable for her life, so her impression of Liu Xin was extremely Profound, I recognized it all at once, and to Liu Xin, Fei Shuang was just a little girl back then, and didn't even take her to heart. He didn't even remember her name, and it was normal for him not to recognize her.
Later, Liu Zhang was placed in Jiangxia. As Liu Zhang’s wife, Fei Shuang also came to Jiangxia with Liu Zhang. He was implicated in the incident that Liu Fan and Liu Xian instigated the Nanzhong counties. Liu Zhang was ordered to be executed by Liu Xin last year. Fei Shuang became a widow. For Liu Zhang’s family members, Liu Xin did not imprison him. Instead, Fei Guan took his sister back to marry another beloved.
Although Fei Shuang has been married to Liu Zhang for three years, but because of her young age, she has never been in the same room with Liu Zhang. This fashion is a virgin. Therefore, Fei Guan is not anxious about marrying this sister to another beloved, and wants to wait for her. Let’s talk about it after the year of Chishang, because Fei Guan is an official in Chengdu, he originally wanted to bring Fei Shuang to Chengdu, but because of that experience, Fei Shuang had an instinctive fear of Chengdu and was unwilling to watch Fei Shuang as he wished. Going to Chengdu, Fei Guan had no choice but to leave Fei Shuang in his hometown.
The Fei family is a well-known wealthy family in Jiangxia. Fei Shuang stays here and is not worried about any mistakes, but Fei Shuang is young and still, unable to sit at home, and often go to the street to play.
Today, as usual, she took a bunch of domestic slaves to the street, and it happened that she ran into Diaochan and his party. At that time, Lu Qiling took a fancy to the grasshopper sold by an old man on the street, and Yan Rui paid for it to block her mouth. , Fei Shuang came over, but took the grasshopper first, so a dispute broke out.
Liu Xin couldn't help but wondered: "It's just early spring, where did the grasshopper come from?"
Lu Qiling pointed to the ground and said: "There, it's all rotten now,"
Liu Xin looked down, there was some messy wheatgrass on the ground, and there were some grasshoppers.
But when Diaochan whispered: "Master, it's a grasshopper made of wheat straw."
It turned out that the old man was an ordinary peasant in a nearby village, but he had a pair of skillful hands. During the Chinese New Year, in order to amuse his grandson, the old man made some grasshoppers with wheat straw for cooking stoves. The grandson loves these straw grasshoppers so much, the old man's heart moved, and he made more of them to sell in the market, and he could get back a few coins every day.
Jiangxia’s market is far less prosperous than Xiangyang, and the things they sell are also very common. There are not many Diaochan and the others. It is the wheatgrass grasshopper made by this old man that deeply attracted Lu Qiling and clamored to buy. Living together with Diao Chan, Yan Rui is also considered to have a position. Over the past month or so, she has saved a few small dollars with great effort. She was originally reluctant to buy some grasshoppers, but could not endure Lu Qiling softly. Hard grinding, then went to pay for it in his arms, just at this moment, the grasshopper was caught up behind by Fei Shuang and snatched it over. Lu Qiling naturally quit, so she quarreled.
Liu Xin couldn't help crying or laughing. Where is there a dude who molested women in the street? This is clearly a bloody crime caused by a small grasshopper.
Jushou saw Lu Qiling still resentful and couldn't help but said, "Where is the old man who sells grasshoppers? If his grasshoppers are sold out, ask him to make another one. Why fight for it?"
"In fact, it's not sold out, but now I want to buy it and I can't buy it anymore," Lu Qiling lowered her head embarrassedly, but her mouth was reluctant, "But the grasshopper was obviously my first fancy, so why should she? Come grab it,"
The old man saw that there were many people on both sides, and the heads were all gorgeously dressed. How dare to stay here for a long time, before the two sides fight, he has already escaped first, and even the grasshoppers that have not been sold can not take care of them. , Thrown on the ground, was stepped on a pulpy,
"I got it first." Not to be outdone, Fei Shuang raised his head to meet Liu Xin's stern look, and hurriedly lowered.
While they were talking, there was a rush of footsteps on the street. Han Song and Wang Wei hurried over here with a team of soldiers and government officials. After a long distance, Han Song shouted: " Come down late, please forgive the Lord,"
Liu Xin said with a sullen face, and said unceremoniously: "De Gao, your people know that there is a dispute here, not only to stop it, but also to watch the excitement next to you, what's going on,"
Han Song took a breath and glanced at the two servants who were lying on the ground humming constantly. They were indeed the arresters of his men. He looked at the dozens of domestic slaves and said with a clear heart, and said, "Go back to the lord. These people are from Jiang Xia’s Fei family. Those two guards thought that they were afraid of the Fei family’s power and did not dare to come forward. Please punish yourself,"
Liu Xin saw that the two government officials were carried and fell by Xu Chu, and they were seriously injured, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Liu will not be held accountable for this matter, but when he is an official, he will not be held accountable. The side that should benefit, if bullying and bullying happen again, it will not be as simple as demotion."
Han Song didn't expect such a thing to happen on his ground, and it also happened to Liu Xin's family members. He was startled in a cold sweat. Hearing Liu Xin say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and promised again and again.
Liu Xin turned around again and said: "Fei Shuang, get up, where did your domestic slaves come from? They are not simple, they dare to fight against my guards."
Under Diaochan’s strict orders, these guards have never fought back, but they are all strong and strong, even if they don’t do anything, their aura is still there. Ordinary domestic slaves definitely don’t have the guts to push and push with them.
Fei Shuang didn't dare to conceal it. He lowered his head and said, "They were all soldiers in the original Yizhou army. After Yizhou's defeat, it was Minnv's brother who took them in."
Liu Xin suddenly realized, it’s no wonder that these domestic slaves made several guards hang out with their bare hands. They all came from the army, so he waved his hand and said: "You all go, and you can't make trouble outside in the future."
Fei Shuang originally thought he would be severely punished, but now he received Liu Xin’s pardon, he hurriedly blessed, turned around to leave, but heard Lu Qiling say loudly: "Wait, godfather, they hurt these many uncles. Make them cheaper,"
In Liu Xin's eyes, Lu Qiling is a child, and Fei Shuang is just a child. It is normal for two children to quarrel. As a "parent", he is not good at protecting shortcomings, so she can't help but stare at Lu Qiling and charge for the fee. Shuang said, "Hurry up,"
Fei Shuang didn't dare to argue with Lu Qiling anymore, and hurried away with the domestic servants, and Lu Qiling was also pulled over by Yan Rui, and she was not allowed to talk nonsense. However, after such a disturbance, they didn't have the interest to go shopping anymore. Up,
Back at the post house, Diao Chan and the others went to rest. Liu Xin glanced at the disturbed Han Song, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it, what's the matter with the Fei family,"
Han Song sighed and said, "It turns out that the lord has long noticed that the Fei family is a bit unusual. The Fei family is one of the best family in Jiangxia, and they have a close relationship with the Wu family in Yizhou, and this Fei Shuang is acquainted with Wu Cheng from the Wu family. Okay, that Wu Cheng..."
Having said that, Han Song suddenly stopped and looked at Liu Xin secretly.
Liu Xin raised his hand and said, "The Wu family and the Fei family worked under Liu Yan at the same time. Fei Shuang and Wu Cheng are also wives and concubines. It is normal for them to have a good relationship. , It’s pure nonsense. If she has a noble minister, how can she be a widow at a young age? Fei Guan is an incumbent official, and the Fei family should become a model of law-abiding. Degao, you have to remember, no matter what in the future Aristocratic families, who dare to commit crimes, will be severely punished."
Han Song had no good impressions of these big clans. After he took office in Jiang Xia, he had no mercy on the local clans and clans, even stricter than Liu Xin’s regulations. For example, in terms of weapons, Han Song didn’t even The family slaves of these wealthy families are allowed to carry clubs, so those who follow Fei Shuang will use their bare hands, but this Fei family is a little different, because Wu Cheng has always lived in Fei’s family, and Han Song has heard many rumors that Wu Cheng’s face Wealth, there is even the possibility of being sealed in the future. In this way, don’t say that Han Song’s yamen will shrink when they encounter the Fei family, even he himself is a little bit confused.
Hearing what Liu Xin said, Han Song suddenly felt his confidence hardened, and said, "Please rest assured, the subordinates must take good care of those noble families,"
Liu Xin said in a deep voice: "Liu didn't ask you to rectify them. As long as they keep themselves safe and abide by the rules and laws, they must be treated equally. Also, you must find the whereabouts of the old man who sells grasshoppers, right. He will be compensated for his loss. Okay, there is nothing to do with you here, so you can withdraw."
Seeing Han Song bowing out, Jushou said, "The Lord Wu has already concluded the matter of the Lord, but the Wu family is still preaching about it. I am afraid that the Lord has bad intentions. Why not take this opportunity and take the Fei family down? To be tortured in detail, you must know the truth,"
Liu Xin shook her head and said, "Fei Shuang is just a child. She has experienced so many changes at a young age, and her temperament is inevitably perverse. As for Wu Cheng, it's just the Wu family's self-promotion. It's just that. But after suffering from this child, Wu Cheng, who else would dare to marry her and come in."
Ju Shu nodded and said: "The Lord’s kindness is the blessing of their two families, but the subordinates think that they can't be prevented from these two families. The subordinates want to arrange people to keep an eye on their every move and ask the Lord for his grace."
Regarding his subordinates, whether they were originally effective or surrendered from a hostile camp, Liu Xin has always adhered to the principle of suspicious people not to use people, and has never used those spy methods on his own people. In fact, Fei Guan is now serving as a county chief in Chengdu, and Wu Yi is also a member of the Second Army Corps. These two men are both civil and military, occupying important positions, and they are both Liu Yan’s old ministry. If they really have any unruly intentions , It’s really inevitable, Liu Xin couldn’t help hesitating about Jushou’s proposal.
