After hearing that Lu Qiling called Liu Xin "godfather", Fei Shuang's heart began to sink. Hearing Liu Xin's question, he started from his recent situation and talked about it one by one, not daring to hide it in the slightest.

Three years ago, Fei Shuang was taken to Xiangyang by Cheng Yu from Chengdu as a prisoner of war. Although she had only seen Liu Xin once, that scene was enough to make her unforgettable for life, so she was extremely impressed by Liu Xin and recognized it at once. For Liu Xin, Fei Shuang was just a little girl back then, and he didn't take her to heart at all, and he didn't even remember her name, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize her.

Later, Liu Zhang was placed in Jiangxia, and Fei Shuang, as Liu Zhang's wife, also came to Jiangxia with Liu Zhang. Implicated in the incident of Nanzhong counties instigated by Liu Fan and Liu Shui, Liu Zhang was ordered to be executed by Liu Xin last year, and Fei Shuang became a widow. For Liu Zhang's family, Liu Xin did not implement Zhulian, but Fei Guan took his sister back and married another lover.

Although Fei Shuang has been married to Liu Zhang for three years, he has never had sex with Liu Zhang because of his young age, and he is a virgin at this time. Therefore, Fei Guan is not in a hurry to marry this sister to another lover, and wants to wait for her to pass the age of the year. Because Fei Guan was an official in Chengdu, he was originally going to bring Fei Shuang to Chengdu together. But because of that experience, Fei Shuang had an instinctive fear of Chengdu and was unwilling to go to Chengdu with Fei Guan. Fei Guan was helpless, so he left Fei Shuang in his hometown.

The Fei family is a well-known wealthy family in Jiangxia, and Fei Shuang stayed here, but he didn't worry about any mistakes. But Fei Shuang was still young and couldn't sit still at home, and often went to play on the street.

Today, as usual, she took a group of house slaves to the streets, and by chance she ran into Minchan and her party. At that time, Lu Qiling took a fancy to the gnats sold by an old man on the street, and Yan Rui was paying for it, Fei Shuang came over, but took the cicada first, so there was a dispute.

Liu Xin couldn't help but wonder: "It's just early spring, where are the grasshoppers coming from?" ”

Lu Qiling pointed to the ground and said, "There, it's all rotten now." ”

Liu Xin looked down and saw that there was some messy wheat grass on the ground, and there were any gnats.

But I heard Minchan whisper: "Master, it's a grasshopper made of wheat straw." ”

It turned out that the old Han Shi was an ordinary farmer in a nearby village, but he had a pair of skillful hands. During the Chinese New Year, in order to amuse his grandson to play, the old man used the wheat grass left for the stove to weave some grasshoppers. Seeing that his grandson was so fond of these straw gnats, the old man's heart moved, and he made some more to sell in the market, and he could exchange them for a few copper coins every day.

Jiangxia's market is far less prosperous than Xiangyang, and the things sold are also very ordinary, and there are not a few things that Minchan can look up to, but this old man's hand-woven wheat straw grasshopper deeply attracted Lu Qiling, clamoring to buy it. Now living with Minchan, Yan Rui also has a job, in the past month or so, it has been difficult to save a few small money, and he was reluctant to buy any grasshoppers, but he couldn't stand Lu Qiling's soft and hard grinding, so he went to pay for it in his arms. At this moment, the gnats were snatched up by Fei Shuang. Lu Qiling naturally didn't do it, so she made a noise.

Liu Xin couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, where is there any gentleman molesting women on the street, this is clearly a bloody case caused by a small grasshopper.

Seeing that Lu Qiling was still indignant, he couldn't help but say, "Where is the old man who sells gnats?" If his grasshoppers are sold out, ask him to make another one, so why fight for it. ”

"Actually, it's not sold out, but now I can't buy it if I want to." Lu Qiling lowered her head embarrassedly, but her mouth was unrelenting, "But that gnats are obviously my first fancy to them, why did she snatch it!" ”

The old man saw that there were many people on both sides, and the people at the head were all gorgeously dressed, so how could he dare to stay here for a long time. Before the two sides fought, he had already fled first, and he didn't even care about the gnats that had not been sold, and threw them on the ground and were trampled to pieces.

"I got it first!" Fei Shuang was not to be outdone, as soon as he raised his head to meet Liu Xin's sharp eyes, he hurriedly lowered again.

While he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps on the street, and Han Song and Wang Wei were hurrying over here with a team of soldiers and servants. After a long distance, Han Song shouted loudly: "The subordinates are late, please forgive the lord!" ”

Liu Xin had a gloomy face and said unceremoniously: "Degao, your subordinates knew that there was a dispute here, not only stopped it, but also watched the excitement from the side, what is going on?" ”

Han Song took a breath, glanced at the two servants lying on the ground and hummed, it was indeed his subordinates, and then looked at the dozens of house slaves, and said with his hands: "Back to the lord, these people are from the Jiangxia Fei family, and those two servants are afraid of the power of the Fei family and dare not come forward." After the subordinates go back and send it, they must be dealt with strictly. In this matter, the subordinates are also at fault, and the subordinates ask for punishment. ”

Liu Xin saw that the two officials were coerced and fell by Xu Chu, and they were not lightly injured, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Liu will not be held accountable for this matter." However, as an official, it should benefit one party, and if there is another thing of bullying, it will not be as simple as demotion. ”

Han Song didn't expect such a thing to happen on his land, and it happened to Liu Xin's family, he was already shocked into a cold sweat, and when he heard Liu Xin say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and promised again and again.

Liu Xin turned around again and said, "Fei Shuang, get up." Where did you get these house slaves from? It's not easy for them to dare to fight against my personal guards. ”

Under Minchan's strict orders, these guards have not fought back, but they are all strong, even if they don't move, the momentum is still there, and ordinary house slaves definitely don't have the courage to push and shove with them.

Fei Shuang didn't dare to hide it, and lowered his head and said: "They are all soldiers in the original Yizhou army, and after the defeat of Yizhou, it was the brother of the people who took them in." ”

Liu Xin suddenly realized, no wonder these house slaves let several guards hang up with their bare hands, it turned out that they were all from the army, so they couldn't help waving their hands and said, "You all go, don't make trouble outside in the future." ”

Fei Shuang originally thought that he would be severely punished, but now that he got Liu Xin's pardon, he hurriedly blessed him and turned around to leave. But I heard Lu Qiling say loudly: "Wait! Godfather, they have injured so many uncles, and they can't be cheapened. ”

In Liu Xin's eyes, Lu Qiling is a child, Fei Shuang is just a child, it is normal for two children to quarrel, but he is a "parent" but he is not good at protecting his shortcomings, he can't help glaring at Lu Qiling fiercely, and said to Fei Shuang: "Don't go quickly!" ”

Fei Shuang didn't dare to reason with Lu Qiling anymore, so he hurriedly took those house slaves away. And Lu Qiling was also pulled over by Yan Rui, and she was not allowed to talk nonsense anymore. However, after such a fuss, they were not interested in shopping any further.

Back at the inn, Mink Chan and the others went to the back to rest. Liu Xin glanced at Han Song, who was nervous, and said in a deep voice: "Say, what's going on with the Fei family?" ”

Han Song sighed and said, "It turns out that the lord has already seen that this Fei family is a little unusual. The Fei family is one of the best families in Jiangxia, and they are very close to the Wu family in Yizhou. And this Fei Shuang is good friends with Wu Amaranth of the Wu family, and that Wu Amaranth ......"

Speaking of this, Han Song suddenly stopped and secretly looked at Liu Xin.

Liu Xin raised his hand and said, "The Wu family and the Fei family were working together under Liu Yan back then, and Fei Shuang and Wu Yuan were concubines again, and it is normal for them to have a good relationship. As for the legend that Wu Amaranth has a noble face, it is pure nonsense, if she has a noble appearance, how can she be widowed at a young age. Fei Guan is a current official, and the Fei family should become a model of law-abiding. Degao, you have to remember that in the future, no matter what family, if anyone dares to commit a traitor, he will be severely punished! ”

Han Song didn't have much of a good impression of these big families, and after he took office in Jiangxia, he never treated those local scholar families softly, even stricter than Liu Xin's regulations. For example, in terms of equipping weapons, Han Song didn't even allow the house slaves of these wealthy clans to carry sticks, so those who followed Fei Shuang would be bare-handed. But this Fei family is a little different, because Wu Yuan has always lived in the Fei family. And Han Song has heard many rumors that Wu Amaranth has a rich face, and there is even the possibility of sealing it in the future. In this way, not to mention that Han Song's servants will shrink back when they encounter the Fei family, even he himself is a little confused.

Hearing Liu Xin say this, Han Song suddenly felt his confidence hardened, and arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely take care of those big families." ”

Liu Xin said in a deep voice: "Liu is not asking you to rectify them, as long as they keep to themselves and follow the law, they must be treated equally." Also, be sure to find out the whereabouts of the old man who sold the gnat, and compensate him for his losses. Alright, there's nothing to do here, so stand down. ”

Seeing Han Song bowing and retreating, he said in frustration: "The matter of Wu Amaranth, the lord has already made a conclusion back then, but the Wu family is still spreading this matter, I am afraid that I have bad intentions." Why don't you take this opportunity to take down the Fei family, torture it in detail, and you will find out. ”

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "Fei Shuang is just a child, she has experienced so many changes at a young age, and her temperament is inevitably a little perverse. As for Wu Amaranth's matter, it's just that the Wu family asserts their identity. It's just that in this way, it's hard for Wu Amaranth, who else will dare to marry her in the future? ”

He said, "The mercy of the lord is a blessing for both of them. But the subordinates thought that they had to be wary of these two families, and the subordinates wanted to arrange for people to keep an eye on their every move, and begged the lord for permission. ”

For his subordinates, whether they were originally surrendered or surrendered from the hostile camp, Liu Xin has always adhered to the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people without suspicion, and has never used those spy methods on his own people. Now, Fei Guan is serving as a county commander in Chengdu, and Wu Yi is also a member of the Second Army Corps. If they really have any bad intentions, they really have to guard against it. Liu Xin couldn't help but hesitate about Frustrated's proposal.
