Although Zou Rui's small melon seeds face is dirty, those big clear eyes are black and bright. Liu Xin picked his chin with his fingers. I don't know what happened, this little guy actually "chuckled" and laughed. , Revealing a pair of small dimples, really a beauty embryo. A wicked thought flashed in Liu Xin's mind. What would it be like to possess both mother and daughter at the same time? Liu Xin turned her head to look at the Zhu family. Seeing that she lowered her head in a panic, she was shocked. How could she have this idea? Liu Xin shook her head secretly.
Zhu was also taken aback by Liu Xin's frivolous behavior. His daughter was only seven years old. He wouldn't have any intentions. I heard that some people like young children. He doesn't have this quirk too? Zhu's heart became uneasy.
With their own minds, everyone went to the prefecture, the animal husbandry mansion, and entered the courtyard, just as Qiaoer was helping Liu Yu learn to walk.
Qiaoer saw Liu Xin brought two people in ragged clothes back, picked up Liu Yu, and greeted him. Since hearing Ma Yun's words that day, Liu Xin has also thought about it. Look at Qiao'er, her face has become more and more handsome, probably because of malnourishment since childhood, and she has always been not tall. It is estimated that she is less than one meter six. Small and exquisite, but the pile of soft flesh on the chest has been fully developed, and it bounces around as if carrying two little rabbits, Liu Xin stared blankly.
Ma Yun had already asked Qiao'er what she meant. She was naturally willing. Now that Liu Xin looked at it directly, she became ashamed and said hurriedly, "Master, you I'm back. Young Master already knows how to walk."
Liu Xin was awakened by Qiao'er's words and wondered to herself, what happened recently. She couldn't move when she saw beautiful women. Could it be that the worm caught her brain? He coughed quickly and said, "Qiao'er, give Yu'er to me. Right. You take the two of them to the back to wash and change their clothes."
Qiao'er agreed and took Zhu's mother and daughter to the back. Liu Xin walked into the house holding her son, saw Ma Yun was writing something on a pile of bamboo slips, and asked strangely: "Wife, what are you doing?"
Ma Yun saw Liu Xin coming in, and hurriedly hid the bamboo slips in her hands behind her, and said, "Don't look at it."
Liu Xin was amused and said, "If you don’t look, you don’t watch. I keep everything secret to me. By the way, I went outside the city today and brought back a pair of mother and daughter. You can arrange it later. Let me tell you, that little girl She is also a famous person, and I suspect she is Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou."
When Ma Yun heard this, she said in surprise: "Really or not, can you run into a celebrity casually?"
Liu Yu saw Ma Yun, shouting "Mom, Mom" in his mouth, struggling to get out of Liu Xin's hands, Ma Yun said while taking her son from Liu Xin, coaxed and said triumphantly : "Look, my son will already call me."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu called "Mom" in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Yun's hand, his little hand struggling to grab the bamboo slips in her hand. Liu Xin couldn't help but laughed: "He is calling bamboo slips."
Ma Yun also laughed and said, "This little guy, he learns to walk fast, he can already walk in a row against the wall."
Liu Xin teased her son and said: "It will be more than a month before Yu'er's first birthday. If you are weaned, let Qiao'er take him to the wing, so that you don't always have fun at night."
Ma Yun's face blushed, and she said with a mouthful: "You, there is no seriousness, this big stall in Jingzhou is waiting for you to do, and those who are in broad daylight are thinking about it."
The husband and wife were talking in the room, and Qiaoer came in and said, "Master, Madam, Mother and Daughter Zou are here."
Zhu Shi and Zou Rui had simply freshened up and changed into new clothes. Although they didn't fit well, they were much better than their original torn and dirty clothes.
Ma Yun took Zou Rui's hand and looked left and right, turned her head and said to Liu Xin: "Husband, what a beautiful little girl, it would be nice to be a daughter-in-law for our family Yuer."
Zhu's heart was overjoyed when he heard these words. If his daughter could marry the young master of Master Zhou Mu, what else would he worry about? But Liu Xin laughed and said: "Wife, what are you talking about, Yu'er is such an old man, when he can marry a wife, everyone's little girls will grow up to be old girls, let alone others still have a wife."
Ma Yun pushed Liu Xin and said: "Okay, we women are talking here, what are you talking about, go out and do your job."
When Liu Xin went out, Ma Yun arranged a place for the Zhu family's mother and daughter, and took some silk and satin for them to remake some decent clothes. There were two more people in the yard, and there was a lot of excitement, especially the little girl Zou Rui, who became acquainted with everyone, showing her lively nature, singing and dancing in the yard, often making Ma Yun amused. Xiao Liuyu is also very willing to get close to her.
Seeing that Zhu's mother and daughter had settled down, Liu Xin took Dian Wei and a few soldiers to Chen Jie's house. I heard a cry from afar, and entered the front yard, only men and women, old and young, knelt on the ground, fierce soldiers holding seals and scribbling everywhere.
Jushou stood in the middle of the yard and commanded with his positive and negative hands. When he saw Liu Xin, he quickly greeted him and asked, "Master, why are you here?"
Liu Xin frowned and said, "I don't worry, come here and have a look. Why did you really arrest their whole family? Didn't you say, don't get involved."
Jushou replied calmly, "Go back to the lord, I don't know if I don't check it. This investigation really found that Chen Jie had done a lot of illegal things. Among them, there were four or five cases of death. The law is not just about curing. Chen Jie is the crime of one person."
Liu Xin was really surprised, and asked, "Then what will these people do?"
Jushou said calmly: "Chen Jie and the people headed by him should be sentenced to execution. The remaining adult men were exiled for three thousand miles, while women and children were sold into slavery."
Originally, Liu Xin only wanted to snatch Chen Jie’s land outside of Xiangyang, and by the way, he copied some property from his house, thinking that Chen Jie’s family was big and the industry in the city was gone, and there should be a lot of industry in the countryside. The days will not be worse. Who expected Jushou to enforce the law impartially, and found out many illegal things in the morning. Now his whole family is going to suffer, but he was taken aback and said: "Gong and, those cases You have to figure it out, and you can't wrong him. What was the result of their investigation?"
Jushou said: "Back to the lord, the Chen family is very luxurious. Look at this house, with carved beams and painted buildings. The back garden is even more equipped with a water pavilion and pavilions. The Chen family lives in the four counties of Xiangyang, Nanyang, Nanxiang, and Changsha. I have sent people to seal up the real estate and real estate, and the gold, silver, cloth, money, and grain are also being registered. As for the properties of the Chen family in other places, we are a little too far away."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Gongyou, you did a good job. Go, take me to see inside."
Jushou led Liu Xin into the back house of the Chen Mansion. As expected, there was a cave, ancient trees, famous flowers, small bridges and flowing water, bamboo forests and rockery, which already had a little meaning as a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. There was another woman's cry in the small courtyard next to the garden.
Liu Xin frowned and asked, "Gongyou, why are there some women here."
Jushou looked up and said, "That's Chen Jie's inner house. The women in it are all selected from the Chen family's relatives. They are younger and have good-looking faces. These people can sell them for a good price."
Liu Xin looked at Jushou as if he didn't know him, but he didn't expect this guy to be cold-blooded.
Jushou was frowned upon by him, thinking that Liu Xin suspected that he had any selfish intentions, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Lord, don't get me wrong, the rules for copying homes have always been this way."
At this time, a book official ran out of the yard hurriedly, bowed to the ground and said: "The villain Zhang Yun sees the lord."
Liu Xin looked at him up and down, with triangular eyes and a hooked nose, looking at herself flatteringly, and said, "Are you Cai Duwei's cousin Zhang Yun?"
His question surprised Zhang Yun, wondering if Cai Tao had mentioned himself in front of the lord. Zhang Yun quickly replied: "It's the villain. Do you want to go in and take a look, pick a few you like, and the villain will send you to the house for you."
Liu Xin's face sank, and he said, "Hugh's talking nonsense! Do your thing well, remember, you are not allowed to hide."
Zhang Yun put a hot face on a cold buttocks, and stepped back angrily.
Liu Xin said to Jushou: "The four big families of Gongyou, Kuai, Cai, Chen, and Wang in Xiangyang must be in the same spirit, and there must be many in-laws between each other. Kuailiang, Yue, and Cai Huang are all helping us now. When doing things, you must treat these three families differently. You have to check carefully if there are any family members among the female relatives of the Chen family. You can send them back to their natal families instead of selling them."
Liu Xin knew that whether Cai Huang, Kuailiang and Kuaiyue brothers were far behind Jushou in terms of loyalty, they did their best under Liu Biao’s hands, but Cao Cao came and took refuge in the past. , Busy to keep his glory and wealth. Liu Xin is now in the process of employing people, so he still has to pull them as far as possible, and can't push them too hard, so he still wants to leave some room for them.
Jushou thought for a while, and said, "The lord's consideration is that I will arrange for someone to check it out."
Liu Xin stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, take me over there for a look."
Jushou followed the direction of Liu Xin's fingers and looked at it. It turned out to be the study room of the Chen family. As the foremost rich man in Xiangyang, Chen Jie of course also has his own study room, which is very clean, as if people often come here. The desk was full of pens and ink. Liu Xin picked up the inkstone on the desk. There was no ink in it, but it seemed that he had never used it before. The brush was also brand new, and the ink box had not been opened. Liu Xin couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Chen Jie was a fake and gentle. He set up a study room just to behave. The reason for the cleanliness was obviously that someone would clean it frequently. Liu Xin looked around, and there were still many books in Chen Jie’s study. He picked up a roll of bamboo slips in the bookcase, and made a dust of it, making Liu Xin a face. It seemed that there had been no one for a long time. Have touched these books. There was a large wooden box next to the bookcase, but it was clean. It shouldn't have been long since. Liu Xin opened the lid of the box lightly, and her eyes could not help but let out light.
