The goal has been achieved, Zhang Yuan also relied on his stay, and immediately took Zhen Mi to say goodbye and left, and embarked on the road back to the south again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A few days later, Zhang Yuan led the victorious army and returned to Yecheng.

On the day of returning to the city, the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng were thousands of empty alleys, welcoming Zhang Yuan's return in the middle of the road, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

It is no wonder that the foundation of Yuan Shao's rule over Hebei lies in the support of the wealthy family, and his policy of governing the country is naturally mainly based on protecting the interests of the powerful family.

Therefore, during the years when Yuan Shao ruled Jizhou, the big clans could rely on his connivance, arbitrarily annex land, and bully the people, but they did not have to pay taxes to the Yuan family, but the people of the Yuan family, not only were oppressed by the clan, but also doubled the taxes by Yuan Shao, which can be said to be miserable for a long time.

Today, Zhang Yuan, the new conqueror, as soon as he came to power, strictly enforced the law, not only cracked down on the illegal acts of the powerful and powerful clans, but also implemented the integrated payment of grain by the gentry, which greatly reduced the exploitation of the common people of the city, and won the hearts of the people of Jizhou in just a few months.

Therefore, when the people of Yecheng heard that Zhang Yuansheng had captured Yuan Shao's return, they were all overjoyed and excited, and naturally they spontaneously came to greet him.

Zhang Yuan was greeted by the gratitude of the people, and entered Yecheng with great strides, and the first thing was naturally to dispose of Yuan Shao.

The day after returning to the city, Zhang Yuan summoned Yuan Shao's stepwife Liu in the magnificent hall that originally belonged to Yuan Shao.

Light footsteps sounded, Zhang Yuan looked down, and saw Liu Shi walking into the hall with an uneasy face.

The plump figure, the bewitching face, and the mature charm are everywhere.

"The concubine came to see Duke Zhou." Liu Shifu bowed, and his respectful tone revealed a little fear.

Since serving Zhang Yuan at the beginning, this noble lady of the big clan no longer dares to have the slightest self-confidence in front of Zhang Yuan, the possessor.

"Come with me, my father will take you to meet an old man." The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth raised a sneer, got up and went down the stairs, hugged her waist and looked out.

Liu's face was suspicious, and he didn't know who Zhang Yuan was going to take him to see, so he could only be puzzled, and was hugged by Zhang Yuan's waist and went all the way to the prison in the back house.

In the prison, the person who was detained by Song was the former master of Hebei, Yuan Shao, who was admired and feared by the world.

"Duke Zhou wants to take his concubine to see ...... Who to meet? Liu's tone became uneasy, as if he had guessed a few points.

"Who else can it be, of course it's the husband you've been thinking about for a long time." Zhang Yuan smiled and pushed open the cell door.

Liu's plump body trembled suddenly, and a hint of foreboding rose from the bottom of her heart, but she could only feel uneasy, followed Zhang Yuan, and walked into the prison she was all too familiar with.

In the deepest part of the cell, the big iron door was opened, so that Liu did not show up and entered the prison alone.

In the dark and damp cell, Yuan Shao, who was ragged and described as aggrieved, was curled up in a corner of the cell

Hearing the door of the prison open, Yuan Shao's body instinctively trembled, and when he looked up and saw that the person who entered was Zhang Yuan, his expression changed.

"When you abandoned your son, your wife, and your subordinates, did you ever think that you would be reduced to where you are today?" Zhang Yuan said coldly and sarcastically.

Yuan Shao's sluggish figure shook violently, but there was no trace of guilt in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Those who do not care about their families for the world, this truth, a thief from a humble background like you will never understand, I Yuan Shao has fallen to the point where I am today, not because I have done something wrong, but because God has no eyes." ”

At this time, Yuan Shao was still extremely stubborn, and he did not regret what he had done, and he had no regrets about what he had done before when he abandoned his wife Liu in the tunnel.

Outside the iron gate, Liu heard it clearly, and every word, like a sharp blade with a handle, deeply pierced Liu's heart.

Originally, Liu was still comforting himself, Yuan Shao abandoned him at the beginning, but he was forced to do so, but he didn't want to, in Yuan Shao's heart, she was just like a general like Han Meng, she was an existence that could be sacrificed at any time.

The teeth were dark, and Liu's eyes burned with grief and indignation.

Listening to Yuan Shao's cold words, Zhang Yuan just smiled faintly, "So, if God gives you another chance, as long as you can kill your wife with your own hands, it will restore you to your former glory, and you will not hesitate?" ”

Yuan Shao was stunned at first, and then burst out laughing, with extreme sarcasm and disdain in his laughter.

"Such a simple truth, kill one wife and win the world, do you still need to hesitate?" Yuan Shao asked sarcastically, "Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, it seems that your knowledge is nothing more than that, you are just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later you will perish." ”

Outside the iron gate, when Liu Shi heard these words, the whole person was stunned, and for a moment, her heart hurt so much that she almost lost her senses.

Liu Shiwan didn't expect that Yuan Shao could be cold-blooded and ruthless to such an extent, for the sake of his own foundation, he could sacrifice himself without hesitation, and even kill her with his own hands.

At this moment, Liu completely saw his position in Yuan Shao's heart, and his heart was extremely cold.

Zhang Yuan smiled.

Yuan Shao almost put him to death, how could he kill him easily, Zhang Yuan just let him taste what it means to betray his relatives before he dies.

"Come in."

As soon as Zhang Yuan waved his hand, the soldier squeaked open the cell door, and Zhang Yuan glanced at Liu, who was standing outside, and ordered her to come in.

Liu's pale face has been occupied by shame, sometimes red and sometimes white, and his expression is extremely complicated.

Liu knew that Zhang Yuan wanted them to meet as husband and wife as a husband and wife, just to humiliate Yuan Shao.

Thinking about Yuan Shao's coldness, Liu didn't care about any face, secretly gritted his teeth, and slowly walked into the cell.

Yuan Shao, who didn't know the inside story, heard that someone walked in again, and subconsciously raised his head to look.

The eyes of the husband and wife collided in an instant, and the two suddenly stiffened in place.

Liu's eyes flashed with shame, indignation and disappointment, and he was not half happy to see his husband.

Yuan Shao's determined face was filled with shock and a little shame.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen for Zhang Yuan again, and his wife had clearly been standing outside, listening to his cold and ruthless face clearly.

Facing his wife's sad and indignant gaze, Yuan Shao felt a trace of shame in his heart for a moment, but he didn't dare to face it, and hurriedly tilted his head to the side.

He saw Zhang Yuan again, with a sarcastic sneer.

"Zhang Yuan-" Yuan Shao, who was enlightened, shouted at Zhang Yuan with infinite shame.

"Yuan Shao, what are you yelling about, I kindly reunited you husband and wife, shouldn't you be grateful to my father-in-law." Zhang Yuan sneered, hugged Liu's waist, and gently stroked Liu's waist through a thin shirt.

Liu's body trembled, and he immediately blushed with embarrassment.

Although she was extremely disappointed in Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was still his husband in name, and now in front of her husband, she was so wanton by Zhang Yuan, how could she not feel ashamed.
