Seeing Liu Xin's stretched brows suddenly frowning, his mood also became nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

Liu Xin was silent for a long time and said, "What has Zhu Ying been doing recently. ”

Frustrated, he asked, "Is the lord worried that he will make trouble, he spends all day drinking, probably not?" ”

Liu Xin shook his head and said, "No, I want to send him back to Ke County." ”

Isn't it better for him to be in Xiangyang, he is a hostage here, Zhu Dingcai doesn't dare to give birth to two hearts, why send him back." ”

Liu Xin gently pressed the armrest of the chair and patiently explained: "Gonghe, for so many years, we have won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and the foundation here is unbreakable, there is nothing to worry about, and although the people of Yizhou are attached, I still don't feel at ease, if there is civil strife in Yizhou, Liu Yan's remnants will definitely collude with the four counties in central and southern China, at this time, the position of Qike County is quite critical, Zhu Ding has a very high prestige among the barbarian tribes, if he is willing to do his best, Qi Ke can be safe, if you want Zhu Ding to do his best, First of all, we have to show our sincerity, and now continue to hold his eldest son hostage, so what's the matter? ”

Fu Zhu continued to persuade: "Lord, Zhu Ying was not detained by us, he sent it himself, Zhu Ding shouldn't think much about it." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Gonghe, don't discuss this matter anymore, it's so decided, you go and call Zhu Ying over." ”

Since Zhu Ying came to Xiangyang, except for breaking into the state pastoral mansion at the beginning and being locked up for a few days, not to mention entering the state pastoral mansion in the future, even Liu Xin's face has not been seen a few times, and suddenly heard that Liu Xin invited him to go to the state pastoral mansion, Zhu Ying, who was very neglected, couldn't believe his ears, and repeatedly confirmed that Liu Xin invited him to go but arrested him, and was immediately flattered, and trotted all the way to the state pastoral mansion.

Liu Xin looked at the panting Zhu Ying, and couldn't believe his eyes, but in three years, Zhu Ying still looked like a barbarian man, dressed up, behaved, and got rid of a gentleman, it seems that the environment changes people, and the sentence is still very reasonable, Liu Xin can't help but see the figure of the Manchu Eight Banners from him, how fierce the Manchu Eight Banners were when they entered the customs, and later, their children were reduced to only carrying cages and birds, and they couldn't pull the bow and ride the horse.

Zhu Ying saw that Liu Xin was just staring at herself, and couldn't help but ask cautiously: "The adult called the little one to come, and I don't know what to order." ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Zhu Ying, it has been three years since you arrived in Xiangyang, and the agreed deadline when your father sent you here has passed, and I am ready to let someone send you back to Qike, and I will leave tomorrow, you see how it is." ”

Zhu Ying's head shook like a rattle, and he said continuously: "My lord, I won't go back." ”

Liu Xin's face sank, and said: "How can you not go back, who doesn't love their hometown, what does it look like to always wander outside." ”

Zhu Ying said firmly: "How comfortable it is here, what's the point of going back to Keke." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but think of a famous story in history, and said casually: "Don't you want to be happy?" ”

Zhu Ying nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am happy here, don't think about it, besides, you are my brother-in-law, everyone here will give me three points, what am I going to do when I go back, but also look at my father's face, I won't go back if I am killed." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Liu Adou didn't know if he was born now, but his famous words let Zhu Ying say it first, and it took a long time for Liu Xin to come back to his senses and say: "Zhu Ying, if you really don't want to go back, forget it, I won't drive you away, don't use my name to deceive in the future, and don't say that I'm your brother-in-law." ”

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "My lord, you can't cheat, the three-year appointment is coming soon, and I'm still waiting to drink my sister's wedding wine." ”

It wasn't for Zhu Ying to remind him, Liu Xin had almost forgotten about it, he "hummed" and sneered twice, and said confidently: "The barbarian girl is amorous, who can endure loneliness in three years, I'm afraid that she will already find a new love." ”

Zhu Ying was also full of confidence and said, "If you don't believe it, how about we make a bet." ”

Since he refused to go back to Ke alive or dead, and even said "happy here, don't think about it", where did Liu Xin still have that idle time to talk nonsense with him, and immediately issued an eviction order, saying: "Hit a fart bet, where are you going back and forth, if I know that you are still outside and say that I am your brother-in-law, be careful that I will put you in prison for ten days and half a month." ”

drove away Zhu Ying, Liu Xin thought about it, if there are any hidden dangers, there is only one left, that is Diao Chan, Wang Yun can send a killer, and she wants to get in touch with Diao Chan, she is not a time bomb when she stays in the state pastoral mansion, and she can be regarded as a terrorist, Liu Xin decided to have a showdown with her,

It's been almost three years, and Minchan has had the first opportunity to walk into Liu Xin's study, over the years, she has been seriously marginalized in the state pastor's mansion, and even her mood is getting worse and worse, her face is no longer the original look, full of depression, but, today she was unexpectedly called by Liu Xin, Minchan still deliberately put on makeup, changed into a pink cotton skirt, and re-filled rouge gouache on her face, and then came to the study and said a deep blessing to Liu Xin.

In fact, if Minchan can use her appearance to attract Liu Xin, she doesn't need to do it at all, because her appearance is definitely up to the level of heavy makeup and light makeup, and no matter how beautiful she is, it won't make much difference, in fact, although Liu Xin has repeatedly warned herself to keep her distance, every time she sees her, she inevitably has a heart-pounding feeling, but others can't easily see it,

Liu Xin didn't go around the bend with her, didn't even let her get up, and said directly: "Minchan, it's been three years since you arrived at the State Pastoral Mansion, now let's tell the truth, Wang Yun has explained your task." ”

As time went by, what Diao Chan thought about all day long was how to show her talent, how to attract Liu Xin's attention, how to please Liu Xin, she had long forgotten that she still had a mission, and when she heard Liu Xin mention it, she couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a panic: "No, really not, my father-in-law just asked me to serve the adults well." ”

Liu Xin's face sank like water, and he said lightly: "How has Mrs. and I treated you in the past few years." ”

Minchan's mind went blank, shook her head blankly, and said, "I don't know." ”

She really doesn't know how to answer this question, in Xiangyang, if she doesn't say it well, but she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she can't bear to stop eating those delicacies, if she says it well, she doesn't even have a confidant, and she can't even take a step in the second gate of the state pastoral mansion, which is like house arrest.

Even if Liu Xin could imagine a hundred answers she would say, she didn't expect her to say the words "I don't know", staring at Minchan for a long time, Liu Xin couldn't tell whether she really didn't know, or was pretending to be stupid, but Liu Xin knew that Diao Chan was definitely a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible to play Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, the father and son, in history, Liu Xin shook her head, it seems that she doesn't need a killer weapon, she is unwilling to confide the truth,

Liu Xin sat back on the chair, lightly buttoned the table, and said casually: "Minchan, there are two people here, I don't know if you recognize them, bring them up." ”

With Liu Xin's order, two people came in from outside the door, Minchan turned her head to look, and exclaimed: "Ziyan, Yanyun, why are you here." ”

These two are the two young women who were arrested in Xicheng District the year before last, Ziyan is the one who pretended to be father and daughter with another killer to perform on the street, Liu Xin looked at them and said, "You come to tell her how you came here and what you came here for." ”

After listening to the explanations of these two women, Minchan only felt that her legs were weak, and she involuntarily knelt on the ground, and muttered in her mouth: "No, this is not true, my father-in-law just asked me to please the lord and persuade the lord to assist the emperor in addition to Dong Zhuo." ”

Liu Xin took a step forward and asked sharply: "It's really just these, if I don't agree to assist Liu Xie, will you kill me?" ”

Under Liu Xin's questioning, Diao Chan was stunned for a moment, unable to say a word, yes, Wang Yun had confessed at the beginning, if Liu Xin refused to assist Liu Xie, then try to seduce Zhao Yun and make them turn against each other, and Zhao Yun would replace Liu Xin's position, and then assist Liu Xie, wouldn't this be tantamount to killing Liu Xin, and Ziyan and Yanyun explained very clearly, Wang Yun learned that Liu Xin resolutely refused to recognize the identity of Emperor Liu Xie, so he sent them to Xiangyang to bring a message to Mink Chan, so that she tried to poison Liu Xin's diet, Or take advantage of Liu Xin's sleep to kill his surname with a sharp blade,

Minchan burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I really didn't want to hurt you, I just ......"

Liu Xin interrupted her unceremoniously and said: "Okay, don't say it anymore, Mrs. and I have long seen through Wang Yun's conspiracy, and you still can't see it, Wang Yun just treats you as a tool, and the third lady will ask you to come over, we didn't know at first, but since you came to the state governor's mansion, my wife and I treat you as a normal person, not a tool, nor anyone's plaything, I don't know if you have felt it all these years, except to keep some distance from you, We are no different to you and to everyone else. ”

Minchan is a smart woman, Liu Xin's words were not finished, she understood why she had been snubbed in the house for the past two years, all because of their wariness of herself, but she couldn't figure it out when she broke her head, when she left Luoyang, Wang Yun only explained to her alone, how did Liu Xin see through it,

Liu Xin glanced at Minchan, who was raining with pear blossoms, and continued: "Diao Chan, no matter what you think in your heart, but according to the law, you and these two women are capital crimes. ”
