The news of Yuan Shao's death was not as hidden from everyone as Sima Yi thought.

After Yuan Shang took Sikong back to the mansion, the news of Yuan Gong's death spread immediately, and everyone was in an uproar, and for Sikong's death, the temple did not give a conclusive conclusion, and everyone speculated, some thought that he might have committed suicide because of Yuan Tan's affairs, and some felt that he was poisoned by thieves, and even more, felt that Man Chong killed him, because after Sikong's death, Man Chong played his resignation.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Xi to let Man Pet leave like this, Man Pet is a former official of the East Palace, and his talent is top, Liu Xi will not let him go, in the Houde Palace, Liu Xi persuaded him for a long time, and only then did Man Pet dispel the idea of resigning and returning, Liu Xi understood that Man Pet probably felt that he had failed to carry out the order of the Son of Heaven and violated the decree, so he had such a mind, and after persuading for a long time, Man Pet walked out of the Houde Palace.

Walking on the road, full of pets is still a little lonely.

When the justice in his heart conflicts with the decree of the Son of Heaven, Manzhong seems a little overwhelmed, he is like Yang Qiu, but he is different from Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu is a cool official, he treats those traitors who are corrupt and perverts the law, and has never shown mercy to his subordinates, but, most of the time, he is the best sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, for the decree of the Son of Heaven, he can go to frame and do something that is not visible.

Man Chong is also a cool official, a thief who brings disaster to the country and the people, there is only a dead end in front of him, unlike Yang Qiu, Man Chong has justice in his heart, he is destined not to become a sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, because of this sword, he will not cut innocent people, will not kill good people, this is a sword that looks sharp, but is actually kind.

When he returned to the mansion, he hid himself in the study, and did not go to Tingwei or interfere in Sikong's case.

Sitting in the study, Man Pet heard the noise from outside, Man Pet frowned, he is very strict with his family, even if it is his child, he is serious, he never dares to be so noisy, who dares to destroy the purity of my house? Man Zhong thought a little unhappily, but saw a slave walk in, and said in a panic: "Master of the house, someone asks to see..."

"Who?" , Man Pet asked a little suspiciously, he had already given an order to the slaves, closed the door, and did not see anyone, this guy still came to find himself in such a panic, presumably there must be some great man? ?

The servant was about to answer, suddenly someone pushed the door in, and the person who came was old, but he was also a tiger's back, proud of everyone, with a few scars on his face, grinning, smirking, seeing him, Man Chong immediately frowned, and his face became gloomy, if it is said who makes Man Chong the most admired, maybe it is not easy to say, such as Xing Gong, Cao Gong, these people, Man Chong is very admired, but who makes Man Pet the most disgusting.

Then it must be the guy in front of you, Hua Manzi.

Hua Xiong didn't mind the resentful appearance of the full favor, and sat in front of him with a big grin, and the servant said, "Master of the house!" We can't stop him! He wounded four or five of us!! Looking at the frightened appearance of the slave, before Man Zhong could speak, Hua Xiong shook his head and said: "You guy, how do you treat your slaves on weekdays, look at this person scared... You go out!! ”

Hua Xiong waved his hand, and the slave looked at Man Pet again, Man Pet nodded, and the slave left.

"Hua Gong... What wind brought you to me? ”

"What kind of wind can, I have something important to come to you!" Hua Xiong said, cleared his throat, and said: "The horses you seized have to be returned to me, Your Majesty is going out of the city today, and you don't even have a horse to drive, and you haven't returned it for a long time, do you still want Your Majesty to come and pick up the horses in person?" Hearing his words, Man Zhong couldn't help but sneer.

"According to the Han Xin law, Hua Gong did not pay the fee for being fined, and I will never pay it... Even if Your Majesty comes, I will also say this, Han Xinlu, no one is allowed to violate it!! Full of favor said, Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why do you have to do this? You and I are both His Majesty's courtiers, Your Majesty's horse, how dare you detain it? Is it in line with the way of a minister to do this? ”

"What Hua Gong said is also false! Your Majesty trusts me, so I am made a court captain, if I neglect my duties, violate the law, and open the net, it is not in line with the way of being a minister, everything I do is given by His Majesty, and I am also doing my duty, how can I say that it is not in line with the way of being a minister? ? Full of pets said solemnly, Hua Xiong stared at him for a long time before putting a piece of paper.

"Man Boning, Man Boning, I thought you would say that, you see, I have already paid... Can I return my horse now? ”

"That's fine."

Man Chong didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and began to write, and it didn't take long for Man Chong to hand a written piece of paper to Hua Xiong and said, "Take this to Tingwei, they will return the horse to you... Also, within Luoyang, horses are not allowed, and I hope that Hua Gong will not commit it again!! Hua Xiong grinned, took the paper in his hand, and stood up happily.

didn't say goodbye, turned around and left directly, and walked to the door, Hua Xiong stopped and asked, "Manjun, aren't you afraid that I will play Your Majesty and let him punish you?" ”

"Don't be afraid, if Your Majesty punishes me for following the law and sticking to my heart, I will not change."

"Hahaha... I also heard about the affairs of the Tingwei Mansion, I heard that you locked yourself in the mansion because you refused to obey the order, and I thought about taking the opportunity to get the horse back, but I didn't expect that you still haven't changed, so you, when will you change? ”

"I won't change in this life."

"It's a pity, it's a pity... In the future, you have to be careful if you ride the horse again..."Hua Xiong shook his head, and before he could get angry, he had already left the mansion, leaving only one full pet, angrily scolding, but helpless, he stayed in the study for a while, and suddenly walked out of the study, looked at the slave on the side, and shouted: "Prepare the horse quickly!" I'm going to Tingwei! I don't go, I don't know how many traitors are rejoicing, and they think they have a chance to take advantage of it!! ”

.....

Send the horse back to the servant's house, the officials of the servant's house are ecstatic, finally come back, these days, they are so scared that they can't close their eyes day and night, this servant, unlike the previous ones, loves to ride horses in his life, and always rides horses in Luoyang, thinking that his equestrian skills are amazing, and he is always caught by full favors, just like that, one after another, until the servant's house is empty, the Son of Heaven came several times, and his face is extremely complicated.

I can't say whether it was stunned or helpless, in short, His Majesty has never severely punished this servant, but these officials are not lightly frightened, these few times, His Majesty went out on patrol and came to the servant's mansion, Hua Taifu laughed and got an ox cart for the Son of Heaven, when everyone was stunned, Hua Taifu talked about his big truths, "Your Majesty, as the so-called, this upward and downward effect, cattle herding strategy, since the beginning of Jianning, until now, has played a huge role in farming..."

"Emperor Xiaokang often took an ox cart, and the ox cart could allow everyone to raise more cattle..."

Since Hua Xiong became a servant, the Son of Heaven has never enjoyed the carriage again, and he almost has to get used to the ox cart.

It's finally back, there's a horse, there's a horse, from this day on, the servants and officials are looking forward to the arrival of His Majesty, Your Majesty come and see, you can ride a horse!!

After arranging things here, Hua Manzi went home.

Humming an unknown Liangzhou song along the way, he walked to the door of the mansion, and was about to unlock and enter the house, but he saw a beggar squatting in front of his mansion, this beggar was dressed in tatters, his face was completely muddy, squatting in front of the mansion, the whole person shrunk into a ball, Hua Xiong swaggered in front of him, lowered his head, looked at him, the beggar raised his head and looked at the giant bear in front of him.

"Who are you, and why are you in front of my house??" Hua Xiong asked suspiciously, the man looked at Hua Xiong curiously, and could see that he was not afraid, his voice seemed to be a little hoarse, and he asked, "Are you Hua Xiong Hua Gong?" ”

"I am!"

"I'm from Liangzhou, and I've been in exile here... I heard that Hua Gong was generous and wanted to beg for a bite to eat..."He pressed his throat and said in the standard Liangzhou dialect, Hua Xiong was stunned, thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "Alas, I didn't expect that my reputation for generosity has spread to all over the world... I didn't want to spread the word... Alright, come in with me..."

Hua Xiong led him, unlocked the lock, and entered the courtyard.

"Hua. . . Hua Gong lives here alone?? And no slaves?? ”

"Heh, I myself am herding horses and raising cattle for people, it used to be like this, and it is the same now, I am not used to being served by others..."Hua Xiong said, led him in, entered the courtyard, looked at the situation here, the kid looked around with some suspicion, but Hua Xiong asked: "I haven't heard of any disaster in Liangzhou, why did you come to Luoyang??" Tell you, this place is not like our hometown, and the people here are bad..."

"Also, you're too thin, you just lose the face of my Liangzhou man!" Hua Xiong said unceremoniously, and when he entered the courtyard, he said: "I remember that there is still some food at home, you wait, I'll go get it for you!" After speaking, he ignored this kid, turned around and entered the house, the kid watched Hua Xiong leave, muttered, and said: "People are older, but they are very generous, and their hearts are good, and they are not greedy for wealth and wealth... Well, there are no concubines yet..."

As she spoke, she smiled.

When Hua Xiong held three leg of mutton that was picked up, when he returned to the front yard, Hua Manzi was startled, I don't know when, a young girl was standing in front of him, it could be seen from the clothes, this is the kid who was just now, but at this moment, she has washed off the stains on her face, the whole person looks extremely delicate, even if the clothes are unbearable, it can't cover the beauty, and the whole person has a heroic spirit that is rarely seen in women.

"You... You..."

"Hua Gong, in fact, I am a daughter...", she also used her voice back, as crisp as a bird.

Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then you wait for me for a while...", after speaking, he walked in again, and the woman watched him leave with some curiosity, but she was still thinking in her heart, didn't he want to dress up??

After a while, Hua Xiong walked out, there was no change in his body, but the leg of mutton was missing two pieces, only one piece was left, he handed the leg of mutton to the stunned girl, and said: "Take it, since you are a daughter, you can't eat so much, just so I can keep two pieces to eat at night..."

Well????
