Chapter 182: The Patriarch Lifts the Siege
Last time, it was said that the Liu clan found Liu Bei and they were standing in front of the archway at the entrance of the village, so they called friends to come forward to find their relatives.
In the midst of the chaos of life, an old woman called out to Liu Bei: "Xuande, what about my family's wealth?" ”
Youcai is Liu Bei's playmate Liu Xin, who was jealous of him when he was a child, and Liang Xu once mistook him for Liu Bei. Wealth is the word Liu Xin gave himself. The old woman who stopped Liu Bei was Liu Xin's mother. Her family, Liu Xin, also went out with the People's Self-Defense Army this time.
Although Liu Bei didn't like Liu Xin very much, he didn't even like the sour person next door to him. But after all, Liu Xin's mother was Liu Bei's former neighbor, and people watched him Liu Bei grow up since he was a child. In front of the clansmen, Liu Bei was really embarrassed to ignore Liu Xin's mother. But he didn't know how to speak, because when the casualties were counted after the war, Liu Xin could no longer be found. And there are many corpses of the war dead who have been cut beyond recognition, which is already unrecognizable, plus the soldiers are all from poor families, and the clothes on their bodies are very uniform and popular, and they are not recognizable, and they do not carry items to indicate their identity, so Liu Bei doesn't know which one is Liu Xin. Now that he was asked by Liu Xin's mother in person, Liu Bei was speechless.
Seeing Liu Bei like this, Liu Xin's mother had already guessed that her son was likely to be more auspicious, so she was emotional, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Bei's collar, shook it vigorously, and scolded loudly, asking Liu Bei to return her son.
Liu Bei's face was covered with Liu Xin's mother's saliva, but he didn't dare to wipe it. Because more and more people found that they couldn't find their relatives, they wanted to come over to ask Liu Bei for justice.
The bustling noise finally alarmed Liu Yuanqi, the patriarch of the Liu clan. Liu Yuanqi hurried over with his servants at home, intending to maintain order. When I arrived at the center of the incident, I found that it was Liu Bei who had returned.
Liu Yuanqi immediately ordered the servants to separate the clansmen from Liu Bei, and he himself shouted vigorously: "What do you want to do here? Liu Guishi! Let go of Xuande! ”
Liu Xin's mother is Liu Gui, her real surname is Gui, and she will be given her husband's surname when she marries into the Liu family. At that time, the women's names were not told to outsiders. Liu Xin's mother's name can only be known by her parents' relatives, her husband and son, and her parents-in-law, so the patriarch only knows what her surname is, not what her name is. Therefore, what is the name of the women of other people's families? Including the women of the emperor's family is the same, so Cao Pi's first empress Zhen Mi can only be called Zhen's, whether it is really a famous Mi, no one knows.
Liu Xin's mother is now only thinking about letting Liu Bei compensate her son, so the patriarch didn't hear her call.
Liu Yuanqi saw that Liu Xin's mother was so faceless, so he immediately called someone to go over and pull Liu Xin's mother away.
When Liu Xin's mother was pulled away from Liu Bei by brute force, she opened her teeth and claws like crazy, and kept repeating in her mouth: "You return my son!" You give back my son! ”

Liu Yuanqi ignored the crazy woman, but walked up to Liu Bei with a smile, cordially took Liu Bei's hand, and gently patted the back of Liu Bei's hand to show kindness.
Liu Bei didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the patriarch's gourd, he thought about many situations of being reprimanded by the patriarch, but he didn't have such affection, which made Liu Bei very stunned and uncomfortable. Patriarch, what's going on?
Liu Yuanqi turned his head to look at the clansmen who were still gathered here, and the expression on his face instantly became majestic, making people guess that the patriarch must have traveled to Sichuan and Shu when he was young and learned a stunt.
Liu Yuanqi said loudly to the clansmen: "Xuande is a person with great merit!" He led our children to a big victory outside and earned money for our Liu family! ”
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "But he killed my brother!" ”
With the first, there is the second. The voices that said that Liu Bei killed his father, brother, son, and nephew came and went.
Liu Yuanqi's face was very ugly, and he used all his strength to roar: "It's against you!" I dare not listen to my words! Are they all idle? It's almost gone! ”
Liu Yuanqi has accumulated prestige for a long time, and when he roared, the Liu clan really didn't dare to continue to say anything, but they didn't want to disperse, they were unwilling, they were unwilling to let their relatives die like this.
Liu Yuanqi was able to become the patriarch, and it was not entirely because of his strength. When he saw that everyone still refused to leave, he comforted him: "Your family's pension will be handed out in a few days." Don't huddle around here, get back to your own business! ”
Another voice rang out in the crowd: "Patriarch, how much is the pension?" ”
Liu Yuanqi looked at the young man who was asking, only to see that the other party was wearing clothes with many patches, Liu Yuanqi glanced around the crowd again, and found that many people were looking at him with expectant eyes. Liu Yuanqi secretly sighed in his heart: Our branch of King Jing of Zhongshan has really declined to my generation, and there is no one to be an official in the court, no one to take care of it, and the life of the clan is not as good as day by day.
Liu Yuanqi shook his head slightly, shook off his worries, regained his voice, and said to the clansmen: "Liu Taishou has not given a standard yet. But I'm here to promise the big guys, I'll do my best to fight for the big guys! Rest easy. ”
Hearing the patriarch's assurance, the crowd gradually dispersed. But half of them remained. It's just that Liu Yuanqi ignored these people, he looked at the Liu clan's disciples behind Liu Bei, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
Liu Yuanqi encouraged the soldiers of the Liu family twice, and then sent them home. Many of the people left behind found their relatives and left contentedly. These people didn't come to make trouble just now, they just came to look for someone, and they also found their relatives in the team, but the team was not disbanded, so they stayed with them.
There are only a handful of people who are still present now, and they all looked at the patriarch with tears in their eyes, but they didn't dare to attack, only Liu Xin's mother sat on the ground, hammered the ground, and whispered wildly: "Return my son!" You give back my son! ”
Liu Yuanqi turned to Liu Bei again, looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Virtuous nephew, thank you for your hard work." ”
Liu Bei's head was still a little bit unturned, he still didn't understand what was going on in front of him, how could it be a victory? I almost got myself in. So he looked at his patriarch in surprise, not knowing what to answer.
