It is normal for Wei Lian to have such thoughts, his son is full of poetry and books, but on a cold day, he was stripped naked by Liu Xin in front of everyone, and even his fiancée was still at the scene, and then he was forced to agree to withdraw from his family, such humiliation is unbearable for anyone. In the words of modern medicine, Wei Zhongdao suddenly became seriously ill because of the double blow of physical and psychological blows, and the culprit of all this is Liu Xin.

But it's not so easy to deal with Liu Xin, after all, he is a pastor of Jingzhou and is in a high position, except for the current emperor, no one can easily move him. Although the Wei family is one of the largest families in the world, it cannot easily influence the emperor's thoughts, not to mention that no one in the Wei family holds important positions in the court now. If you want to deal with Liu Xin and take revenge, you can only rely on the strength of others.

Wei Lian immediately took action, on the one hand, he used the shops around the Wei family to collect Liu Xin's crimes, and on the other hand, he frequently visited the officials of the scholar clan who were good friends in Pingyueli. Within a few days, someone jumped out to impeach Liu Xin.

This person's name is Cui Yan, he is a celebrity, and he is very famous, and it is precisely because of his fame that Liu Hong is ready to let him take over the position of Situ. Situ is ranked as the third duke, second only to the general, and his status is quite high, and he can often enter the palace to face the saint. The Cui family and the Wei family have always been good friends, Cui Yan has a good impression of Wei Zhongdao, and now after listening to Wei Lian's words, he suddenly felt that Liu Xin was heinous, so he wrote a letter listing Liu Xin's four major crimes, impeaching him for disregarding human life, forcibly robbing people's daughters, bad marriages, and oppressing good people, and asking the emperor to remove him from office and ask him to ask him for accountability.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been pacified, Liu Hong was still immersed in the joy of victory, and most of the ministers' recitals were singing praises of virtue. ”

Cui Yan didn't know why, and replied: "Naturally, it was sent by the emperor." ”

Liu Hong said: "You are about to be promoted to Situ, you should also know about the situation of the imperial court's taxation, I don't know how the tax payment situation is this year?" ”

Cui Yan thought to himself, how could he just ask about money, but he didn't dare not answer, and said: "Back to the emperor, this year, there are chapters in various places, saying that they are suffering from the yellow scarves and have no taxes, and they also ask the court to be compassionate." ”

Liu Hong sneered: "If the taxes can't be collected, what will I give you money." If it weren't for Liu Xin's timely payment of a tax, you would all drink the northwest wind. In this way, I don't blame you for your impeachment of Liu Xin, you are about to be appointed Situ, and you should pay some money. ”

In the past, Liu Hong's target of selling officials was mainly for magistrates at all levels, and he rarely took out Beijing officials to sell them publicly, as soon as he said this, Cui Yan was so frightened that his legs and stomach weakened, he knew that Liu Hong's heart was very dark, and Situ's position would cost at least 20 million yuan, how could this be good.

Liu Hong saw that Cui Yan didn't speak, and knew that although Cui Yan had family assets, he was not rich, so he said very considerately: "Okay, you don't have to think about it too much, you know that you are in difficulty, just pay five million yuan, and in the future, all Beijing officials will have to pay money when they take office and are promoted." ”

Liu Hong watched Cui Yan leave the hall listlessly, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Rang beside him: "Father, look, isn't this another profit?" This Liu Xin is really interesting, and I can rest assured that Jingzhou will be handed over to him in the future. ”

Although Zhang Rang didn't quite understand what Liu Hong meant when he said this, he still said with a flattering face: "The emperor is wise. ”

Although Liu Hong is unreasonable and loves money like life, he is not stupid. As soon as Wang Meiren died, he expected that he was the murderer of Queen He, but because there was no evidence, he couldn't treat her guilt. Liu Xin and Liu Yan served as state pastors respectively, and they had long said that these two people were relatives of the Han family, but Liu Hong was not very at ease with them, so last time Liu Xin said that he hoped to get a house in Luoyang City, showing that he had no ambitions, Liu Hong was very happy. Now Cui Yan's impeachment of Liu Xin's four major crimes is in line with Liu Hong's intentions, these charges show that Liu Xin is also a person with bad conduct, such a person will not threaten his throne, only such a person can make him more reassured. Cui Yan couldn't have imagined that his letter would be self-defeating and produce such an effect.

Liu Xin didn't know about these things that happened in the court. His phantom spy has just extended his tentacles into Luoyang, and there is still a long way to go before he can break into the palace. Mo Xiangzhai's branch in Luoyang has just opened, and it has only just become famous among the scholar families in the capital, and the news has not been opened, so it is not of much use for the time being.

However, Liu Xin's focus now is not on the capital, because he knows very well that there are still more than four years before Liu Hong will return to heaven, and it is still too late to do anything now, he has time.

The last officials' residences have been completed, including his governor's residence. All of Liu Xin's cronies have moved into their new homes, where the roads are wide and clean, and the streets and alleys are guarded by flying tigers. All the houses are constructed with masonry to minimize damage in the event of a fire. The houses are carefully designed, in the style of Jiangnan gardens, and the roofs are in the form of traditional Chinese cornices and corners, which are warm in winter and cool in summer.

Liu Xin's family also moved into the new state pastor's house, which is located in the southeast of Xiangyang New Town and covers an extremely large area, half the size of the original state pastor. Moving is actually very simple, because all kinds of household items in the new mansion are complete, and even the maids and slaves have added a lot, so you only need to pack up some soft and bring them over to move in.

The state pastor's mansion is bigger, so she, Bian Yu, and Zhu Qian no longer have to live in the same courtyard. Ma Yun's courtyard was the largest, and there was a small garden for reading, and she was surprised to find that a small door had opened in the corner of the small garden. During the construction process, Ma Yun came to see it many times, especially her own courtyard, which she looked at more carefully, after all, this was the first residence that they really belonged to after they came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ma Yun was sure that this door was absolutely gone in the past, and she turned her head to look at Liu Xin, who had been following her. Seeing that Liu Xin was also staring at the door with a smile, Ma Yun couldn't help asking, "Husband, what's going on with the door over there?" How did I not know? ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Want to know? Then you just push it away and see if you can't. ”

Ma Yun gently pushed the door open, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. In front of me is a small courtyard fenced off by an iron fence, and in the middle of the yard there is a straight path paved with cobblestones, and at the end of the path stands a two-story bungalow! This bungalow completely imitates the style of a modern villa, with a living room, study, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom, and all the furniture in the house is in a modern style. Although it is built in a modern style, many places are different from modern villas, such as the kitchen is just a decoration because there is no fire at all, and the bathroom is a toilet and bathtub.

When she came to the backyard, Ma Yun was even more surprised that there was a swimming pool built there. Ma Yun once told Liu Xin that her favorite sport is swimming, but after coming here, she couldn't find a suitable place for her to show her heroics. I didn't expect this guy to keep it in mind and really built a swimming pool for her.

Seeing that Ma Yun's tears were already rolling in her eyes, Liu Xin gently hugged her slender waist and said, "Wife, why are you crying?" Are you homesick? ”

Ma Yun couldn't hold back any longer, tears flowed down the ground, and she fell on Liu Xin's shoulder and cried.

Liu Xin wiped her tears and said, "Okay, don't be sad." It's been two and a half years since we came here, and we can't go back to the past, we can only face reality. This house is my New Year's gift to you, a memory of our past world. How, do you like this gift or not? ”

In fact, Liu Xin's original idea was to build a three-story house, but he was worried that the construction technology at this time was not up to par, so he changed Yicai to two floors. This house was quietly built by Liu Xin, and the craftsmen did not understand why Liu Xin wanted to build such an unsightly and impractical house. Liu Xin didn't bother to explain, so he brought out the golden-armored godman again, only saying that this house was built by the gold-armored godman in a dream. Anyone who has followed Liu Xin in the river has heard the story of the Golden Armor Divine Man, and the style and structure of this house are indeed unprecedented, so the craftsmen believe it and can't help but have infinite awe for this house.

Liu Xin doesn't just see the house as a memory of the world of the past. The house was still a place for him to keep his secrets, and some of the items they had brought from the other world were hidden in a large box under the bed in the master bedroom on the second floor. Except for Xiu'er and Ling'er, who are in charge of cleaning, no one else is allowed to come in, including Bian Yu and Zhu Qian.

Ma Yun finally broke into laughter, kissed Liu Xin's face with a "wave", and said softly: "Husband, you are too good to me." ”

Liu Xin stroked Ma Yun's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and said, "Wife, discuss something with you again, I want this child to have your surname." ”

Ma Yun looked at Liu Xin and said in surprise: "With my surname?" You say let this kid have the surname Ma? ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, he had this idea for a long time. In Liu Xin's view, the name is just a symbol, and the surname Liu and Ma are not important. He and Ma Yun traveled to the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin didn't care, he was originally alone. But Ma Yun is different, Uncle Ma only has this one daughter, I don't know how anxious he is now, he let the child's surname Ma, just take it as an explanation to Uncle Ma.

Ma Yun snuggled in Liu Xin's arms, Liu Xin thought of everything for her, she felt so happy. Looking at the incredible everything in front of her, Ma Yun's thoughts gradually returned to the past, she was also a good young man with ideals and ambitions, and her husband and children were not the life she wanted, she suddenly said to Liu Xin: "Husband, I ask you one more thing." ”
