As soon as the frost fell, the temperature difference between day and night began to increase, and for several days in a row, Liu Zheng would wake up at night, either in pain or cold.

The prison environment is very poor, and he has heard some things about it in the past, but when he actually lives in, he can feel the many inconveniences.

The prisoner's prison clothes are coarser than the fabric of ordinary people's homes, and after wearing the skin for a long time, there is no mat in the prison, only straw, soil, kang, eating, drinking, Lasa, and sleeping are basically in a small space, a little dirty, and occasionally there are all kinds of insects and mice that come out of nowhere, and the mosquitoes are not dead, and there are still people staring outside the fence, there is no private space at all, probably Lu Zhi, Liu He is staring, basically everything you see in front of you is implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations, and there is no preferential treatment.

Li Cheng, who heard it two days ago, said that he also tried to bribe the jailer to improve Liu Zheng's environment, but in addition to eating without dust, it was cleaner, and there were a few pieces of meat mixed in the meal, and the jailer's attitude was also kinder, and those aspects that could make people see the changes, such as the mat, prison clothes, and jailers have not changed at all, and this day is naturally not as carefree as Lu Zhi said.

Speaking of which, in the first two days, he was also brought out several times, interrogated by Lu Zhi occasionally, occasionally Liu He, Guan Yu did not appear, Zhang Fei, who temporarily acted as the military capital Gongcao, accompanied him a few times, seeing him being whipped, Zhang Fei couldn't help but persuade a few times, after being glared at or scolded by Lu Zhi Liu He, he only watched, but most of his expressions were a little uncontrollable, if it weren't for Liu Zheng glaring at him three times and several times, Zhang Fei was afraid that he would not be able to help but directly beat the official who carried out the whipping.

It was also in those two days that he returned to the prison with bruises all over his body, lying on the earthen kang, staring at Zuo Ling and Li Bei on the opposite side through the fence, and scolded the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, of course, occasionally he would say a few words to Lu Zhi, Liu He and Liu Yu outside the prison, and he didn't know if it was his delusion, he felt that Zuo Ling's eyes looking at him were slowly changing.

And after that, probably because someone on Lu Zhi's side persuaded him, he was thrown in the prison, and in the past few days, Li Cheng and Zhao Yun, the two people who would come to visit the prison alternately, did not come, let alone bring medicine, he endured the pain, and only felt upset and irritable when lying on the bed.

The following day, when he woke up in a daze, it was not yet dawn and it was raining outside the window. After complimenting the jailer in a few distant cells, he saw the jailer lead in two men with shallow heads and thin furs that concealed their figures.

Liu Zheng was lying on the earthen kang, but he also saw the figure of the person who came, he was slightly stunned, after the jailer whispered to remind the two of them to finish their work and leave, he looked at the other side through the two, and saw that the place where Zuo Ling was lying seemed to move slightly, and the mood that had been a little upset was finally relieved a little.

A figure lifted the shallow dew and whispered, "Big brother!" It was Zhang Fei. The other figure was a little fat, and he didn't dare to open the shallow dew, looked at the other side a few times, and then squatted in front of Liu Zheng and put down the basket covered with cloth in his hand, and whispered: "Liu Gongzi, are you okay?" ”

The fat figure is a woman, Liu Zheng has also met a few times in the Zhuang Mansion in Zhuoxian County in the past, and is called Aunt Li, who is the steward of the piano master Fu's side, and it is said that he helps Fu manage a few piano shops, which is also quite capable.

But Liu Zheng couldn't understand what she was doing at this time, an irrelevant person, thinking of what Lu Zhi said about the branches, the corners of his mouth twitched secretly, but he also whispered, frowning and crawling up.

Zhang Fei hurriedly came to help, Aunt Li also came over, and when she had to lift the thin quilt on Liu Zheng's body, she could see clearly the dense blood marks and gaps on Liu Zheng's clothes, Aunt Li also gasped, and then hurriedly opened the basket, took out a few ** medicines from it, handed over the hot meal, and began to babble in her mouth, and scolded Lu Zhi, Liu Yu's father and son, and the gang of officials all over again.

Aunt Li brought the potion, but she was not afraid of others noticing, Liu Zheng took a breath and finished taking the medicine, while eating, while asking her the reason for coming, Zhang Fei explained: "In the past few days, Kebineng has brought tens of thousands of Xianbei people from Ning County down, and the noise is quite big. "

Zhang Fei's words were not light or heavy, but his voice could also be heard, and he glanced at the opposite cell a few times when he spoke, "I heard the news that in the past two days, I am going to fight with Brother Bo Jue, but Brother Bo Jue is a little restless in Fuyang because of the fact that you were arrested, Zi Gan Gong, Lu Zigan and Liu He brought people over." Brother Li and Zilong couldn't come, also because they were guarded by Guan Yu's bird who stayed behind. I took advantage of their inattention, so I brought Aunt Li over. Oh, Mrs. Sister-in-law, they were all watched, and it was inconvenient to come over, so this time I asked Aunt Li to bring the news over there. ”

"Yes, Gongzi Liu, the concubine is a talker. Ah, you hurt" Aunt Li's knife-mouthed tofu-hearted temperament Liu Zheng also knew, and saw that she was chattering and there was an endless trend, so he hurriedly asked.

Aunt Li didn't know the real inside story, and at this time, she scolded several officials in Jixian County to the point of blood, and after Liu Zheng's expression was slightly impatient, she also reacted, and hurriedly said: "Son, the two ladies said that everything is safe in the family, but Mrs. Li Alas, Mrs. Li is sick." Who would have thought, Liu Zheng coughed, Liu Jikuang's bird house was not at all impersonal, so he bought the mansion with our money, turned his head and turned his face and didn't recognize people. He didn't treat his wife, and the two ladies cried angrily. ”

Liu Zheng can be considered to have heard it, the person who is the messenger must be upright and sharp-spoken, Aunt Li is obviously a person with these characteristics, and when she heard this, she immediately shouted: "What are you talking about!" ”

He hurriedly got up, rushed to the cell door, pulled the chains that had been locked by the jailer, turned his head and suppressed his voice, and shouted, "Yide, let me out!" My mother is sick! ”

"Big brother, calm down, you"

"How calm I am! You know my mother is sick, what are you doing here! Bear the humiliation and bear the weight of a fart! I'm going out! You go out with me! ”

"Big brother!" Zhang Fei pulled Liu Zheng back, Aunt Li was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Zheng, the voice was also a little heavy with Liu Zheng's commotion, "Son, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, there are a lot of officials outside, and the concubine is afraid that people will come to save you." Now that Zhang Gongcao is here, everything can be discussed in the long run, don't worry, don't worry, it's not a matter to kill it. ”

Liu Zheng was irritable for a while, and it also caused a few scolding and scolding next door, and after the jailer helped Zhang Fei suppress it together, it calmed down again, but Zuo Ling and Li Bei were obviously awake, and Li Bei also got up and wanted to scold a few words impatiently, but was pulled by Zuo Ling, and the two exchanged heads and ears, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

After being pressed back again, Liu Zheng's face was still ugly, and Aunt Li said some things again, including Jixian County's gossip about Liu Zheng, many people gloated, or were indignant, and then said the general situation in Youzhou.

That day, Sun Jin counterattacked, thousands of miles to capture Gongsun Du, the entire Youzhou was obviously shocked in the next few days, and Liu Yu sent troops to the north, everyone in Youzhou realized that the whole incident obviously had Liu Yu's participation, those days, Jixian County can be described as people coming and going, from various counties to Jixian officials are countless.

Although Liu Yu left Jixian County, most of the officials also stayed in Jixian County and refused to leave, and some people kept visiting Zhao Gai, Liu Zheng and Qi Zhou, and some of them didn't really care about the whole situation, most of them were because Liu Yu pretended to be sick this time, exposing a lot of people's dissent.

At this time, since Liu Yu is not pretending, then the fate of those who have different intentions can be imagined, plus there are still a number of vacancies waiting to be filled in Jixian County, Shanggu, Daijun and other counties because of military disasters, these people stay in Jixian County, naturally to show their loyalty, thinking that they can get those real shortcomings first, of course, these people who are eager for success and profit, even the people like Aunt Li know that they are not as good as those officials who stay in the counties to do practical things, and it is difficult to go further.

Shortly thereafter, the news about Liaodong came back, Zou Jing rode out of the fortress, led several large tribes in the east of Xianbei to pacify Liaodong, and beheaded more than 100 people from the Gongsun family of Liaodong, including Gaoliju and Fuyu and other officials who were close to Gongsun Du.

This news is tantamount to thunder on the ground, the entire Jixian County is in an uproar, no one expected that Liu Yu, who has always been weak, would have such a thunderous method, and this time he was silent and hidden behind the scenes, and he completely controlled the entire Youzhou in his own hands, and even the eastern part of Xianbei and Fuyu and Gaoliju were completely surrendered, which was clearly a dose of heartache when the hearts of the entire Han people were unstable.

Of course, Zou Jing is still on the way back at this time, whether it is the rumors spread by Liu Yu, or is it really the case, there are different opinions, in the process of everyone investigating, but there are also a small number of people who question Liu Yu, and feel that according to Liu Yu's personality, it is impossible to have such an ability, and this matter should be Lu Zhi's master and apprentice, or Gongsun Zhan and Liu Zheng have taken the lead.

These words are basically just said in private, after all, now that Liu Zheng is in prison, Liu Yu and Lu Zhi are standing together, and Gongsun Chan still listens to Lu Zhi's words, from a standpoint, it is not wise to support Liu Zheng at this time.

However, there are also those who openly take sides.

The leaders are Xi Wei and Guoyuan. Speaking of which, Sun Qianguoyuan and others have now come to the front of the stage, and they have gradually become well-known by virtue of their status as disciples of Zheng Xuan, and they have also replaced several envoys from other states, and officially held some official positions in Jixian County, which is still a real important position.

But it was also under such circumstances that Xi Yu publicly called out Liu Yu and spread rumors that Liu Yu crossed the river and demolished the bridge, while Guoyuan was upset about the imprisoned Xun Yu, and then the two were dismissed and imprisoned.

And Gongsun Ji stayed, and it is said that Guan Ning from Liaodong will also come over, so he will also stay in Jixian County to help temporarily.

As for Sun Qian, after all, he became Liu Bei's guest of the scene. Listening to what Aunt Li said, since Liu Yu was exposed to people, Liu Bei has been hidden behind the scenes, and he has not done anything in the past few days, just mixed with a few officials and scholars who are still in place, and has the meaning of waiting to see what happens.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous things, such as Lu Zhi's statement that Zhang Yi was officially appointed as the Taishou of Zhuo County, Lu Zhi became the Taishou of Zhuo County, and many officials suggested that Liu Bei should be the Taishou of Yuyang, and Ren Hongchang single-handedly revived the business of Yiwulou and other reliable or unreliable news.

After finishing speaking, Aunt Li was also indignant: "Son, look at the faces of those people, who has the lead in this matter." That's good, basically everyone has been promoted, but everyone who is related to you has been imprisoned. I heard that over there in Changping, Xun Gongda fainted a few times, and it was the Xun family who was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood. These people are simply disgusting. ”

Aunt Li chattered, speaking of the excitement of the voice can not be controlled at all, many of the people who were imprisoned nearby generally understood what happened, most of the people who could be imprisoned were criminals, and they were also dissatisfied with the government, at this time, they were also upset with Liu Zheng, and there was a lot of excitement, Liu Zheng also thanked him, and then looked pained, looked sideways at the small window, and sighed, "Liu just wants to do something for the big man, why is it true, It's better to take the Zhongxing sword to Luoyang at the beginning, and endure the humiliation, so as not to prevent Gongda Guan Qushuai from suffering from skin and flesh, why not" He knocked his fist on the earthen kang, "It's just too deceitful!" ”

At this time, Liu Zheng was covered in bruises, looking extremely embarrassed, and his tone sounded sad and angry, Zuo Ling listened to the comforting voices of many prisoners nearby, his eyes suddenly brightened, and then he glanced at Li Bei and smiled.

Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to open the door, and when he went out, he began to persuade everyone to settle down a little, and Aunt Li didn't know what she was thinking, so she suddenly went over to cover the door, and then ran to Liu Zheng's side in a hurry, grinning and said: "Childe, don't be sad about the endless road, Madame, they will find a way, I see what Zhang Gongcao means, and I will try to save you." Also, it is said that the righteous daughter of Zigangong, that Wuhuan woman, has shaved her hair in the past few days, and she knelt in the county order mansion, begging Guan Yunchang to let you go."

"Don't mention Guan Yu's bird, ungrateful"

Liu Zheng snorted coldly, Aunt Li looked at the fence, waved her hand and said with a dry smile: "I'm not talking about Guan Yu, but about the dyed girl, it is said that she shaved her hair, just to say that some people in Wuhuan don't hate you and think you are a good person." If she weren't for the fact that she was Lu Zigan's righteous daughter, I see that many Wuhuan people would like to kill her son, what do they think of her? ”

At the end of the words, Aunt Li's expression was quite flattering, like a matchmaker, Liu Zheng was stunned, thinking of what Lu Zhi said about the branches, he was disappointed, he thought that Ren Hongchang would come over, and then he shook his head busily, saying that he would arrange a good marriage for Ran Lian, but seeing Aunt Li was relieved, and laughed, "It's okay if the son doesn't want to, it's okay if he doesn't want to"

"Huh?"

"Uh, hehe, the concubine is here for another matter. Does that boy remember my wife, Fu? ”

With the foreshadowing of the previous incident of dying lotus, no matter how stupid Liu Zheng is, he will not understand it wrong, and his face is strange at this time, "Aunt Li, I already have an heir, even if I die, I don't need to do it again."

"Bah, what is not dead, don't talk nonsense. The concubine body means that this Fu son, has he forgotten the tragedy caused by Chongxi four years ago? ”

Aunt Li opened her mouth hesitantly, her tone was not heavy, but Liu Zheng was slightly stunned.

He had inquired about this matter in the past, and he had always had a little obsession in his heart, and then he heard some of the woman's experiences in Xun Cai and Geng Qiuyi, which was said to be very miserable, and then the fragrance jade fell, but he didn't expect that Aunt Li would suddenly say this.

He didn't understand whether Xun Cai and Geng Qiuyi knew about the Fu family, but then he also heard Aunt Li sigh and say: "Son, it's really not a secret, the concubine is Mrs. Xun's arrangement to help the Fu family, and the matter of helping her was originally a bit misunderstood." Fu's mother agreed with Yuan Qigong at first, but there were more people gossiping, and her mother felt that things were not good for their mother and daughter, and his mother was so angry that she was also one of those gossips, and she died of illness, and it was not the time to die, so that the son's family felt guilty. Over there, the Fu family also felt that they had taken advantage of it, and they had always felt guilty, and they also had inexplicable feelings for the son's family. ”

Liu Zheng smiled, "Aunt Li, I have a family with her, this can be regarded as a matter of marriage."

"I know, I know, I want to talk about the genealogy, and I want to weed out all the families that may have been entangled, and these concubines know it."

As he said before his death, the Han Dynasty inherited the revenge of the Qin Dynasty, and there are also rules in this regard for marriage. In this regard, Aunt Li is a person who has come over, of course she knows, but she still said: "But Fu's mother's death, it was a death of illness, this is not a hatred, the little girl hates the world, where is the hatred of the son, and then Mrs. Xun saved her, she is grateful, the days are slowly getting better, she is even more grateful, so she will obey Mrs. Xun's arrangement, and enter Liu's family to teach the qin, she is actually a fateful character, if you are a little interesting, maybe it will be included in the backyard a long time ago, and it is not the kind that will cause trouble." ”

Aunt Li sighed, "However, the two ladies are too busy with affairs to take care of her, but I also know her thoughts. On the one hand, she felt that she had received help from the child's family and wanted to repay her, but on the other hand, she felt that she was stupid, and felt that staying with her wife to teach the piano had disturbed the life of the child's family, and she felt that she was the shopkeeper and couldn't do anything well, and she also wanted to leave."

She looked up at Liu Zheng, "This time the concubine came over to make a break with you." It's not that you have to marry your son, it's just "

"Has she figured out where to go?"

"I've thought about it, go to Lousang Village." Seeing that Liu Zheng was stunned, Aunt Li smiled: "Childe doesn't know, although the big mulberry tree in Lousang Village is dead, there are seedlings growing on the side, and there are also homeless people nearby who see that it is an empty village, and there are ready-made things, so she settled down and wanted to go there to plant land and live a stable life." Your family's previous house deed and land deed, the concubine has already purchased it for her. She will be there from now on, and she will not go anywhere unless she has a good family. ”

"Good. Aunt Li helped more. Thank you for that. Zhangjiazhuang is only one step away from Lousang Village, and Yide will send someone to take care of it later. Liu Zhengzheng arched his hand.

Seeing Zhang Fei urging outside the door, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then thank you son." You can rest assured, the concubine will be with her in the future. The concubine's family has long been killed by this world, this girl is sensible and treats me like a mother, and I plan to live with her. ”

Liu Zheng smiled and blessed a few words, and went over to Zhang Fei to say a few words, until Aunt Li left, he was also quite happy, and seeing Zuo Ling suddenly shout in the opposite prison and kneel down to him, his expression was tight, but his heart was even happier.

It's just that he never thought that after this let go, many years later, the little girl of the Fu family would appear in front of him in another capacity, which caught him off guard and sighed that creation made people.
