"The slave maid came to Ying'er to participate in the Xiangye and the ladies.?.23x." This peerless red face who claimed to be coming to Ying'er first gave us a salute, and then said to Ren Hongchang without humility or arrogance: "The slave maid and these sisters behind her are all daughters raised by wealthy families in Yecheng......"

"Prostitute-girl?" Liu Yu was slightly surprised. Do prostitutes and women still need to be specially raised, are there not many in the green building?

As if sensing the doubts in Liu Yu's heart, Zou Zhiruo explained softly behind Liu Yu: "Lai Ying'er is talking about the 'Ji' sent by King Ji of Zhou Wu, not the 'prostitute' of the Qinglou brothel. 'Ji Nu' refers to a woman raised by a wealthy family to entertain guests, not only to perform songs and dances, but also to serve guests in bed. Although the 'Ji Nu' is rich in beauty, her status in the wealthy family is extremely low, even the domestic slaves such as grooms and scholars are much more noble than them in the eyes of others. ”

Just when Liu Yu felt sorry for what happened to these beauties, Ren Hongchang coldly interrupted Lai Ying'er's words: "Mrs. Ben is asking about your current identity!" ”

Lai Ying'er's eyes were slightly dim, but she still said in the tone just now: "Now the slaves and maids have been given to Xiangye by the original master, so Xiangye and the ladies are the new masters of the slaves and maids......"

Poor Ying'er, her words were interrupted again, but this time it was Fan Lihua who snorted coldly. I don't know why, Fan Lihua looked at Liu Yu angrily and said, "Why do you men always send us women as gifts?" ”

Liu Yu hurriedly declared: "Baby, don't overturn a boatload of people with one shot!" I've never seen women as gifts to give at will, but I've always seen you as treasures that need to be cared for! Don't wronged me! ”

A happy smile appeared on Fan Lihua's face. She said sweetly: "All outstanding women in the world should be husband's woman, because husband is the only good man in this world who can bring them happiness!" ”

Although Fan Lihua's words made Liu Yu feel very proud, Liu Yu also had to admit it. If all the world's unworldly women are his women, then he really can't bring them "sex-happiness".

Liu Yu, who was about to say a few words of modesty, suddenly found that the girls in front of him were all looking at him with brilliant eyes, and the surrounding Luan Fengwei was even more fascinated...... They won't have any unnecessary thoughts because of Fan Lihua's words, right?!

It is very uncomfortable to be stared at by a large group of beautiful women with such strange eyes, but fortunately, Ren Hongchang's words rescued Liu Yu: "Look at these heroic Luan Fengwei around you, many of them used to be the 'Ji Girl' of a wealthy family, but now they are the guards around Xiangye!" So don't be presumptuous, remember. Your current identity is Luan Fengwei's reserve team, and your identity is much more noble than most people in the world, understand? ”

"Got it!" One hundred and thirty-eight beauties shouted in unison. Then Ying'er's seductive eyes slipped around Liu Yu's body. On behalf of all the concubines, he asked: "But the slaves and maids can only dance and not martial arts, how can they become Luan Fengwei guarding Xiangye's side?" ”

Ren Hongchang waved his hand and said disappreciatively: "Since it is called the 'reserve team', it naturally has to be screened. Only those with good physical qualifications will make her a member of Luan Fengwei. When the time comes, we will have our own secret method to make it one of the best players in the short term. ”

Lai Ying'er's eyes looked a little melancholy. She asked hesitantly, "Madam, please forgive the slave maid for taking the liberty of asking." If there are sisters who can't pass Luan Fengwei's screening, will they be kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion or will they be kept in the Mansion by the Xiangye to continue to serve as the 'Ji Girl'? Lai Ying'er's question was obviously to the point, and many women behind her showed attention and anxious looks in their eyes.

Ren Hongchang frowned, and said coquettishly: "Do you think that with the power of the prime minister, you still need to deliberately entertain the guests?" Remember, the women of our prime minister's house cannot be bullied. Except for Xiangye, if any man dares to touch you, you can abolish him ruthlessly. It doesn't matter if that man is the third prince and the ninth prince, everything has his own master to take care of you! Don't worry about the girls who lost the selection for Luan Fengwei. Our prime minister's mansion is so big, we can always accommodate you. If you don't know martial arts, it doesn't matter, you can sing and dance for Xiangye, you can also wash and cook for Xiangye, and you can even serve tea and pour water for Xiangye. But you must keep one thing in mind, that is, from now on, your body and soul can only belong to Xiangye, if anyone dares to betray our Xiangye, I will make her regret going to this world! Have you all remembered? ”

"Remember!" This time the unanimous voice made Liu Yu restless, because what Ren Hongchang said was really a little too much. But on such an occasion, Liu Yu couldn't directly lose her face, so he could only adopt an indifferent attitude.

Ren Hongchang glanced at the beauties of different ages, and asked with a big head: "Come to Ying'er, tell me, how old is the oldest of you one hundred and thirty-eight, and how old is the youngest?" ”

Lai Ying'er replied without thinking: "The slaves and maids are between ten and twenty years old. Among them, the largest number of people between the ages of sixteen and twenty were ninety-eight. Twenty-six between thirteen and fifteen, and fourteen between ten and twelve. ”

Ren Hongchang turned his head and showed a malicious smile to Liu Yu, and when Liu Yu secretly felt bad, she turned around and asked Ying'er: "Which of you have slept for men?" ”

Lai Ying'er's pretty face was slightly red, and after stealing a glance at Liu Yu, she said: "The one hundred and thirty-eight slaves and maids have not yet experienced personnel, and those sisters who have served and slept have all been picked out by that Lord Zhong. ”

Did Zhong Xuan do it on purpose? Although Liu Yu was a little dissatisfied with Zhong Xuan, Ren Hongchang seemed to appreciate his approach very much. She smiled and nodded, and said, "Zhong Miao has done a good job, only pure women are qualified to serve our husband!" Husband, are you still satisfied with the Ying'er and them? If you're satisfied, just give them a few words! ”

Ren Hongchang is definitely deliberately rectifying Liu Yu. Just when Liu Yu was embarrassed and inexplicable, his subordinates reported that Guo Jia asked to see him.

Liu Yu took the opportunity to leave his seat. He only said, "Make a garment for each of the girls in the inner court out of the silk." Then he left the place that made Liu Yu feel a little embarrassed amid the cheers and thanks of all the girls, including Luo Li'er and Lai Ying'er, and walked towards the council room.

As soon as Liu Yu entered the conference hall, Guo Jia, who went to copy the Guo family, came up with a smile and congratulated: "Xiangye, you have made a fortune again this time!" ”

His appearance made Liu Yu a little funny, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Tell me about it! ”

Guo Jia saw that Liu Yu was in a good mood, so he was also presumptuous. Without waiting for Liu Yu to speak, he found a place to sit down. Then he coughed a few times and said, "This time, Weichen went to raid the Guo Mansion on the order of the Prime Minister, and everything went well." It's just that Guo Chang's mouth is a little unclean, and Wei Chen has already taken the initiative to pull out his teeth......"

"You're in the heart, aren't you?" Liu Yu interrupted Guo Jia's words and scolded with a smile: "Who told you to talk this nonsense, I want to listen to the point!" ”

Guo Jia didn't dare to continue after playing Liu Yu's hand. smiled and stepped into the topic: "Weichen can be regarded as a person who has seen a big scene." But the extravagance of the Guo Mansion still surprised Weichen. The lights used in their homes are one or two silver incense candles produced by Xingchanglong Trading Company, gold chopsticks, jade bowls, silver soup spoons are used for eating, cotton blankets and quilts are used for sleeping, and even the convenient toilet toilet paper is gilded and fragrant! ”

In Liu Yu's exclamation, Guo Jia continued: "The property confiscated by Weichen from Guo's mansion this time includes: more than 267,800 taels of gold, 4,539,100 taels of silver, 347 pieces of various jewelry, and 122 pieces of brocade silk and silk. There were five high-class horses and twenty-four medium-class horses. Four 'five-forged steel' weapons and one 'six-forged steel' weapon. In addition, Weichen also found two underground buildings in Guo's mansion, one is a granary with nearly 6,000 stones of grain, and now the other is a prison set up by Guo Chang's family. ”

"The prison set up by the Guo family?" Liu Yu frowned, and asked coldly, "Who are the people who are locked up?" ”

Guo Jia's expression was a little sad: "Except for some subordinates of the Guo family who made mistakes, the others are innocent people who were caught by the Guo family when they bullied men and women. Wechen rescued hundreds of people from that private prison, including men and women, but they were all tortured to the point of being inhuman, of which more than 40 could be judged to be disabled for life, and more than 20 people were probably running out. According to the confession of a guard of the Guo family, he has been in the mansion for four years, and there are no less than 80 corpses that have been carried out of that private prison by his own hands! ”

Liu Yu heard the murderous anger in his heart, and regretted that he didn't kill those guys from the Guo family. Liu Yu felt that he couldn't stand the people who were tortured by the Guo family, and said with a heavy expression: "We must resettle those victims well and give them the greatest compensation." ”

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Yu with a little weakness, knelt on the ground, and said: "Wechen has already taken it upon himself to divide some of the Guo family's shops in Yecheng to those victims and their families, and I hope that the prime minister will forgive Weichen for the crime of being arbitrary!" ”

Liu Yu laughed and walked over to help Guo Jia up, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Forgive what sin?" You're doing a great job! Although this can't make up for the damage suffered by those people, it can be regarded as solving the food and clothing for them for the rest of their lives. However, you must remember to let the Taishou of Yecheng take care of them in the future, and we must also do a little bit of effort! ”

Guo Jia praised with admiration: "Xiangye is wise! Wechen's admiration for you is like a surging river, and it is like ......"

"Come on, get ......" Liu Yu hurriedly interrupted Guo Jia's words, he didn't want to hear this sentence that had been used in later generations. Ignoring Guo Jia, who was injured, Liu Yu asked directly: "You just said that you 'divided' the Guo family's shop in Yecheng to those victims?" Could it be that the Guo family has a lot of shops in Yecheng? A hundred or so people can't be divided? ”

"It's really inexhaustible!" Guo Jia nodded and said: "The Guo family is called 'Guo Chengdong' by the people of Yecheng, not only because their family lives in the east of the city, but also because their family owns the title deeds or ownership of hundreds of shops of all sizes in the east of Yecheng, which accounts for more than sixty percent of the merchants in the east of the city!" ”

Dare to love that this Guo family is still a super real estate developer, no wonder they are so rich! After sighing, Liu Yu asked casually: "So what are the shops that are still in our hands now?" ”

Guo Jia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some hesitation: "Return to Xiangye." There are still one hundred and thirty-five shops that Wechen has not been divided out in his hands, and you don't want Wechen to say all the names of their stores one by one, right? ”

Liu Yu looked at him with disdain and said, "I know that you don't have that ability, so I won't be difficult for you." You just have to talk about the most important ones! ”

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but muttered a few words as if he was not convinced before saying: "Most of the one hundred and thirty-five shops are small shops, and some of them are only six. They are: the largest salt house in Yecheng, the largest green building in Yecheng, the largest weapon shop in Yecheng, the largest pawnshop in Yecheng, and the second largest restaurant in Yecheng. and the fourth largest rice shop in Yecheng. By the way......" Guo Jia said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Today, Weichen met Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, in the east of the city!" ”

"Zhen Yi?" Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it a coincidence or deliberate?" ”

Guo Jia said confidently: "According to what Weichen saw, Zhen Yidang deliberately came from Xicheng to Dongcheng to find Weichen!" ”

"On purpose?" Liu Yu repeated casually. asked again: "Then what is Zhen Yi looking for you for?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Liu Yu with a wicked smile and said, "Xiangye, although Zhen Yi has talked a lot to Weichen, his real purpose is to invite Xiangye to his mansion for a banquet tomorrow. According to him, he was to thank Sangye for saving his life to her wife and daughter! ”

Want to thank me for being a lifesaver? It's been eleven years. Why didn't he Zhen Yi think about it now. Why did you go earlier?! Liu Yu, who was sighing, inadvertently saw the evil smile on Guo Jia's face, and immediately felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you smiling like this, have you noticed something wrong?" ”

"Xiangye is really far-sighted!" Guo Jia gave Liu Yu a thumbs up and said: "The Zhen family is not only one of the five major merchants in the world, but its ancestors have also produced high-ranking officials such as 'Taibao', so their influence in Jizhou is only under the Yuan family. Xiangye can give him a life-saving grace, which is really of great help to our army's smooth entry into Jizhou! Speaking of this, he asked with a ** look: "Xiangye." What do you think of the Zhen Mi girl who ranked fifth on the 'Stunning List' and was known as the 'Luoshui Goddess' and 'Jizhou Pearl'? Is it really that pretty? ”

Liu Yu glanced at him and said, "How do I know if Zhen Mi is beautiful or not, she was still a little girl when I rescued their mothers!" ”

Guo Jia said with surprise on his face: "I didn't expect Zhen Yi to come to repay the favor after so long......

Liu Yu asked with a look of contempt: "Do you really think that Zhen Yi invited me to repay my kindness?" ”

Hearing Liu Yu say this, Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh dryly and said several times: "Hehe, according to what Weichen saw, the reason why Zhen Yi invited Xiangye was just at the request of the wealthy family in Yecheng to inquire about Xiangye's tone, so as not to cause trouble in Guo's mansion again!" ”

Liu Yu nodded with a sympathetic face, but he also took this opportunity to appease and knock on the wealthy family in Yecheng, so he asked Guo Jiadao: "When is the specific time when Zhen Yi invited me?" ”

"Zhen Yi set up a dinner party, and he also emphasized that it would be a family banquet, and there would be no guests other than Xiangye!" Guo Jiawei showed a wicked smile after he finished speaking, and he said: "Xiangye, it's a 'family banquet'!" It seems that Zhen Yi has already regarded you as his own person, and the ministers also need another mastermother! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Yu knocked Guo Jia's head heavily, and scolded with a smile: "I know how to think about this all day long!" I've heard that you're living a very unruly life right now. Although it is your own private matter, I still want you to exercise moderation, after all, I hope you can give advice for the country and the people for another fifty years......"

Although Liu Yu's original intention was to squeeze more of Guo Jia's surplus value, Guo Jia himself thought that Liu Yu was a good leader who cared about his subordinates. He said to Liu Yu with a touched face: "Xiangye, you are really good to Weichen, Weichen is so grateful!" However, please rest assured, although Wechen sings every night, every day there is a cultivation of the Taiyi Ling Hua Tuo taught to Wechen the 'Five Bird Play' that can strengthen the body, not only that, but Wechen also insists on taking the 'Health Jindan' every day, so his current physical condition is very good, and he can definitely serve Xiangye for another fifty years! ”

Health Jindan? Liu Yu remembered that in history, the reason why Guo Jia died young was largely because of heavy metal poisoning, and the root cause of the serious excess metal content in his body was the gold pill he had taken since he was a child. Come to think of it. Liu Yu hurriedly said in a commanding tone: "How can those elixirs refined by Jianghu Fangshi be taken casually!" Don't eat that kind of thing in the future, you might as well practice more of the 'Five Fowl Opera' that Hua Tuo taught you! As far as I know, Hua Tuo's set of exercises imitates the fierceness of a tiger, the serenity of a deer, the calmness of a bear, the dexterity of an ape, and the lightness of a bird. Diligent practice can enhance physical strength, promote qi and blood, relax muscles and activate the body. Each series has its own special effects: tiger opera can awaken the brain and refresh the mind, strengthen the muscles and bones, and benefit the lungs; Deer play can be bright eyes and ears, relax the muscles and meridians, and smooth joints. temper increase; Bear play can strengthen the waist and knees, reduce swelling, and soothe liver qi; Ape play can improve the body's sensitivity to external reactions. It can also prevent and treat low back pain. Strengthen kidney qi; Bird play can enhance respiratory function, improve the body's balance ability, and strengthen the heart. This is definitely much better than what you eat 'Jindan'! ”

Although Liu Yu interfered in his private life with a slightly coercive attitude, Guo Jia did not feel any dissatisfaction because of this. On the contrary, he was a little excited because of Liu Yu's care. However, he still said with a slight hesitation: "Weichen has been taking health gold pills since he can remember. Now if you don't take one or two pills a day, then you really feel uncomfortable, can Xiangye slow down Weichen for two or three months? ”

Drugging? You're supposed to be shaking your head, aren't you? Liu Yu sighed slightly, and said a little helplessly and a little funny: "If you really can't help it, go and ask the ladies for some 'detoxification and beauty pills' to deal with it." It is made of pure plants, not only has absolutely no side effects on the human body, but also tastes very good. ”

###########################################################

After sending Guo Jia and Liu Yu away, they returned to the inner courtyard, and at this time, the one hundred and thirty-eight people who came to Ying'er had settled down with the help of Luo Li'er and Luan Fengwei. The laughter coming from their lodging area was full of life.

Liu Yu, who consciously achieved supreme merit, walked into the study with a slight smugness, and the imaginary scene of Sanmei welcoming her husband did not appear. In the slightly empty room, there was only Ren Hongchang, who was buried in the bookcase and hurried to sort out the information. Liu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Baby, why are you the only one here?" What about Zhiruo and Lihua? ”

Ren Hongchang raised his head when he heard the sound, and immediately got up to meet Liu Yu after seeing him, and asked with a smile: "Husband, you are back!" Let's sit down and rest for a while, Zhiruo has gone to prepare dinner, and Lihua has gone to test the Ying'er and them. ”

"Testing? What are you testing? Liu Yu asked with some confusion.

Ren Hongchang kept a smile and said, "Of course, it is to test the loyalty of Ying'er and the people who are qualified to join Luan Fengwei from those one hundred and thirty-eight people!" ”

Although Liu Yu has the "Charm Technique" and the "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill", two secret techniques and secret medicines that can make people work for him, Liu Yu and the others don't know it. In order to test the loyalty of Liu Yu's guards, Liu Yu specially asked Wu Yuan to refine a psychedelic drug that can make people in a trance, and the effect of this psychedelic drug is similar to the kind of "truth spitting agent" used by the KGB of the former Soviet Union during the interrogation of spies. With this kind of psychedelic drug, coupled with Fan Lihua's "Battle Heaven Technique" that can sense the fighting intent and hostility of others to a certain extent, it is basically possible to find out the spies sent by various forces to Liu Yu's side.

Liu Yu nodded with relief, then looked at Ren Hongchang, who was still happy, and asked with a smile: "Baby, what good things have happened to you, why are you so happy?" ”

After Ren Hongchang listened to Liu Yu's questioning, the smile on her pretty face became brighter and brighter, she pulled Liu Yu to the bookcase, pointed to a piece of information and said, "Husband, take a look." ”

Liu Yu sat down in her original position, took her into his arms and said, "Don't look at it, just tell me!" ”

Ren Hongchang squeezed in Liu Yu's arms, raised his head and kissed the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, and said with admiration: "Husband, you are so amazing!" The 'Luoyang Morning Post' that you asked Lord Dong Zhao to make caused a great sensation among the people, and the people of Luoyang said that you are a Wenqu star! (To be continued.) )
