Liu Yi and others stayed in Lao Li Tou's blacksmith shop for another hour, and after inquiring about Lao Li Tou's physical condition, he left.

Seeing that Liu Yi didn't care about his previous suspicions, Lao Li was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Yi several times.

The three of them made some rounds around the city and prepared to return to Sun's mansion.

"Lord, Blacksmith Li betrayed us before and almost killed us, why does the lord still use him now?" On the way back, Yao Lie was very puzzled by Liu Yi's previous actions in the blacksmith shop.

"Yes! I see, people like this should be driven out of the county! ”

Liu Yi stopped and looked at Zhang Fei, and the two said seriously: "If you are a human being, you will make mistakes!" It's not terrible to make mistakes, and we can't deny a person, especially someone who has a good body, because of a single mistake. Our current team is very short of talents, as long as it is not full of talents, we must seize it! And in this world, you can't achieve great things just by relying on high moral character! ”

"The Lord is taught!"

When the three of them returned to Sun's mansion, it was already evening, and Ma Xiancheng had already made a list of dozens of big households in the county, and was chatting with Wang San in the house at this time.

Now there is not a single servant or maid in the entire Sun Mansion, and even the cook who cooks has been dismissed by Liu Yi, and Liu Yi and the three of them don't know that they have entered the mansion.

Liu Yi bypassed the vestibule, and as soon as he came to the backyard, he heard the two people chatting enthusiastically in the house, Liu Yi was curious, so he walked quickly to the door, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the sound of Ma Xiancheng laughing inside.

"Then let's talk about it!"

"Everything is arranged by Ma Lao!"

Liu Yi coldly pushed open the door and laughed curiously, "Ma Lao said to our junior son, why are you so happy?" Say it and let us follow suit! ”

Wang San and the others were taken aback by this sudden surprise, and hurriedly looked back, and the two saw that it was Liu Yi who hurriedly bent down to say goodbye.

"I've seen the county magistrate!"

"I've seen the lord!"

Liu Yi walked up to the two of them, looked at them with a smile, and asked, "What did you two talk about just now, you talked so happily!" ”

When Wang San saw Liu Yi asking, his face turned red to his neck, and he didn't answer for a long time.

Seeing Wang San like this, Ma Xiancheng bowed to Liu Yi with a smile, and said respectfully, "Back to the words of the adult, I saw that Wang San's little brother was honest and honest, and he loved it very much, and it happened that the old man had a daughter, who was sixteen years old, and the age was matching the little brother, so the old man wanted to marry the little girl to him for a hundred years, but I don't know if the adult agreed!" ”

"Oh!?" Liu Yi and the three of them heard Ma Xiancheng say that they wanted to marry their daughter to Wang San, and looked at Wang San in surprise.

Wang San was even more embarrassed by the three of them, and buried his head deeper all of a sudden.

"That's a good thing!" Liu Yi clapped his hands happily and shouted.

"My lord, did you agree?" Ma Xiancheng asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Liu Yi looked at the shy Wang San in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether our three sons agree or not!?" ”

Wang Sanyi, who was shy just now and didn't dare to look up, heard this, and hurriedly raised his head and shouted, "Promise!" Promise! ”

"Hahaha~" Everyone was amused by Wang San's move.

"All three of us agreed, how can I, the master, not agree! In that case, let's settle this matter, go back and find a good day and an auspicious day to get married as soon as possible! ”

"Thank you, Lord Gong (Lord)" Wang San and Ma Xiancheng saw that Liu Yi had agreed to Wang San's marriage, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

Liu Yi helped the two of them up, and then said to Ma Xiancheng, "Ma Lao, since the matter is settled, then you go back to prepare first, I promise you, within three days, I will personally lead Wang San to the house to propose marriage!" ”

Seeing Liu Yi so happy, the folds on his happy face were piled up, and after bidding farewell to Liu Yi and the others, he hurriedly returned to the house to start preparing.

After everyone sent Ma Xiancheng away, they returned to the house and began to discuss the matter of Wang Sancai.

"I really didn't expect that the first of us to marry was San'er, don't look at this kid's usual sullen voice, when he finds a wife, it's not ambiguous at all! Hahaha~" Liu Yi half teased and half sighed.

"Yes! You kid can do it! You have been with me for so many years, and now you can't help but say that the jewelry left by my mother to me, you pick two good pieces and take them, and I will give them both as a congratulatory gift! ”

When Wang San heard Zhang Fei say that he would give him the ancestral jewelry, he couldn't stop crying down.

"Brother Wang, Yao has no valuables in his hands for the perennial battle, so I'll give you this jade pendant" After speaking, Yao Lie took out a palm-sized and beautifully crafted jade pendant from his waist, and knew that it was snatched from Hu Lu's hand by looking at its pattern and texture.

Wang San took the jade pendant and thanked Yao Lie.

"Since the two brothers, Zhang and Yao, have given you wedding gifts, then I, the father-in-law, can't give nothing! I don't have as much on me as two brothers, so be it! The largest room in the backyard will be a new house for you! ”

"Thank you, lord!" Wang San bowed to Liu Yi gratefully.

At this time, Cui Si, who had settled the two hundred accompanying soldiers, also rushed back, and everyone told him about Wang San, and Cui Si stomped his feet happily after hearing this.

"Wang San, although you kid usually always raises the bar with me, but your fourth brother is not the kind of narrow-minded person, give~" After Cui Si finished speaking, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Wang San, looking at the bulging appearance of the pocket, he knew that there must be a lot of money in it.

"When the time comes, don't forget your fourth brother if you have a daughter-in-law!"

Wang San was grateful for the money bag, and sincerely thanked Cui Si a few times.

Liu Yi looked at the money bag in Wang San's hand and felt familiar, and after a closer look, he realized that this was not the money bag that was handed over to Cui Si at that time to give him a meeting gift to Lu Duyou!

Liu Yi pointed at Cui Si and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Cui Si is stunned!" I said that at that time, Lu Duyou said that he did not receive the money! It turned out that it was swallowed by your kid! Zhang Fei, Yao Lie! ”

"In!"

"Pick this kid up for me! Let's see if he still has any hidden goods! ”

"No!" After the two finished speaking, they threw Cui Si on the bed, and then began to pull Cui Si's clothes.

"My lord! There really isn't any! Hey, I'll you~Tap, tap~"

......

Just when Liu Yi and others were making trouble, the house of Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, was brightly lit at this time.

After Sun Fei learned that Liu Yi became the magistrate of Zhuo County on the way to celebrate Liu Junshou's birthday that day, he transferred to Beiping with the congratulatory gift he was originally going to give to Liu Junshou, preparing to defect to Gongsun Zhan.

At this time, Sun Fei had already told Gongsun Chan of his intentions, and was kneeling in front of the hall waiting for Gongsun Chan's reply.

At this time, there is one person in the hall in addition to Sun Fei and Gongsun Zhan, this person is more than seven feet long, his ears are hanging down his shoulders, his hands are over his knees, his eyes can take care of his ears, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are greased, after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Jing of Han, surnamed Liu, named Bei, and the word Xuande.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan were classmates and friends, and they once studied together under Lu Zhi. At that time, Liu Bei saw that Gongsun Chan was older than himself, so he called Gongsun Chan by his brother. Later, Gongsun Chan was promoted to filial piety and served as the Taishou of Beiping, Liu Bei often went to Gongsun Zhan's mansion as a guest, and the two had a close relationship.

Gongsun Zhan pointed to Sun Fei under the hall and said to Liu Bei, "What does Brother Xuande think of this person?" ”

Sun Fei saw Gongsun Zhan asking Liu Bei's opinion, and hurriedly raised his head and looked at Liu Bei with a pleading face.

Liu Bei looked at the box of belongings beside Sun Fei, thought about it and replied, "General Sun was a fellow villager with me when he was a county lieutenant, and I have heard that General Sun is brave, and it is a blessing that my brother can get this good general today!" ”

"Hahaha, since Brother Xuande has praised you for your bravery, then you can stay in the future!"

"Lord Xie Taishou!"

Gongsun Zhan nodded, looked at Liu Bei on the side, and said, "Recently, the Xianbei people have often invaded the realm of Youzhou, why don't you stay and fight the thieves with me?" At that time, I will also bring Brother Xuande with me when I ask for merit from the imperial court, and I may be able to get you an official and a half-position at that time."

Liu Bei hurriedly thanked him when he heard this.

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Gongsun Zhan pointed to Sun Fei under the hall and said, "Then you will follow Brother Xuande in the future."

"No!"

......

On the second day, Liu Yi and the others finished breakfast and prepared to go to the county government to officially take up their duties to deal with official business, and as soon as everyone walked out of the house, they saw that there were many people standing outside the house, and these people stood in two rows in groups, and a lot of money and food were placed on the ground around each group.

Without waiting for Liu Yi to speak, Cui Si on the side stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you block in front of the county magistrate's mansion? ”

Seeing Cui Si asking, one of the people dressed gorgeously, with a fat head and fat brain, stepped forward and flattered, "The little ones are all from Zhuo County, and when I heard that the county magistrate and the new official took office, I specially brought some congratulatory gifts to congratulate me. ”

Cui Si hurriedly looked back at Liu Yi when he heard this, Liu Yi looked at the money and food around everyone, and his heart was already happy, but he still gave Cui Si a look quietly, and with Cui Si's cleverness, he understood Liu Yi's meaning, turned his head and pointed to the property on the ground and raised his eyebrows and said, "That's all?" ”

The squire who replied just now heard that Cui Si's words were a little disgusted with the meaning of too little money and food, and he suddenly felt a dilemma, and hurriedly replied, "It's all to blame the little ones for coming in a hurry, don't blame the adults!" The little ones will go back and prepare some more to send over! ”

After Liu Yi heard what this person said, he felt that it was almost over, so he pretended to be grateful and said, "Let you break the bank!" Liu would like to thank you very much! Originally, Liu still wanted to visit you in person in a few days! It's my brother's wedding day in a few days, so you must come to cheer at that time! When the time comes, let's communicate and communicate feelings," Liu Yi knocked on a wave of bamboo bars in the name of Wang San's wedding by the way.

"That's for sure! That's for sure! The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking very distressed.

Liu Yi and the others sent away those squires, and they didn't care about going to the county office, so they and Zhang Fei carried the belongings in front of the door into the warehouse in the mansion.

Looking at the room full of money and food, everyone couldn't close their mouths with joy.

"Oops! With all this money and food, we don't have to worry about it for a year! Before, I complained that it wasn't worth it for the lord to spend so many congratulatory gifts for a county official, but this time I served the lord, or did his mother's official come with money quickly! Zhang Fei pointed to the belongings in front of him and laughed.

Liu Yi smiled while snatching out the coin that the kid wanted to hide privately from Cui Si's arms: "Where is this!" Didn't you hear that there will be more money later?"

"My lord! What are we going to do with all this money? ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he let go of Cui Si, who was still breaking free, and looked at Yao Lie and replied seriously, "Take it from the people, take it from the people, and give it to the people!" ”

......

It didn't take long for those squires to bring more property and food than before, and sent them to Liu Yi's mansion, looking at the gloomy expressions of those squires, Liu Yi also felt that he was a little too late and thought about inviting those people into the mansion to entertain them, those squires dared to stay for a long time after the morning, they were afraid that Liu Yi would knock them again, and hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Yi after putting down the money and food.

Liu Yi and the others were busy until noon, and then put all the money and food away, and after a simple lunch, everyone gathered in the inner hall and began to rest and chat.

"Yao Lie, you and Yide will bring a hundred people with half of the money to inquire about where we can buy food, we will buy food with half of the money," Liu Yi ordered while drinking tea.

"Lord, why are we buying so much food?" Zhang Fei was puzzled.

"You've seen it before, now many people don't even have food for the winter, let's exchange the money for food and then send out the food according to the head, let the people in the county survive this winter first!"

"It's all haired!" Cui Sisi on the side shouted.

"That's right! If it's not enough, we'll buy food with the rest of the money and send it down."

Yao Lie saw that Liu Yi said that he would buy all the money and food and distribute it to the people, and he respected Liu Yi even more.

"The Lord is righteous and righteous! Yao, let's do it! After Yao Lie finished speaking, he got up and wanted to pull Zhang Fei to buy grain.

Seeing this, Cui Si on the side hurriedly volunteered to say that he was going too.

Liu Yi pointed to the torn clothes in front of Cui Si's chest and scolded: "You stay at home honestly for me!" Come with me to the county government to deal with official business! ”

Cui Si saw that Liu Yi was angry, and he was so aggrieved that he didn't dare to speak out again.
