Liu Xin didn't have a direct concept of copper coins, and he only had a small amount of money on him, so he didn't think about the weight of six million coins at all. Liu Chong deliberately embarrassed again, and all he gave to Liu Xin was cash, but more than half of what he handed over to Zhang Rang was gold, silver and cloth. Six million dollars is six million copper plates, how heavy is that, I'm afraid it must weigh more than ten or twenty tons. Seeing this money, Liu Xin was worried.

Liu Chongke didn't care what Liu Xin thought, and took him to see Zhang Rang together. Zhang Rang asked someone to count the money and goods, and reported five counties for Liu Xin to choose. It turned out that at that time, selling officials had developed to the extent that even officials had to pay money to buy them for normal promotions, and the official price was equivalent to the 25-year salary of officials, and the price of local officials had to be doubled. The five counties of Zhang Rangbao are: Wudu, Jiyin, Shanyang, Cangwu, and Huiji. Liu Xin has never heard of any of these five places.

"Marquis Zhang, see if you can change the place for the lower officials." Liu Xin looked at Zhang Rang with blank eyes.

"And where do you want to go?" Zhang Rang looked at Liu Xin and quietly made a gesture.

Liu Xin knew that this was asking for money, anyway, Liu Chong gave him so much money, and it was not convenient to take it on the road, so it would be cheaper for this old eunuch, so he said: "Xiaguan wants to go to Changshan County, Hebei." ”

"Changshan County is in Jizhou, but the post of Taishou is not vacant, but Hejian doesn't seem to be too Shou, and it's not far from Changshan, it's just ......" Zhang Rang said halfway, and then groaned.

Seeing this, Liu Xin hurriedly said: "Back to the Hou Ye, I still have some filial piety, it is for you to prepare for the old man, and I also ask the Hou Ye to arrange for a trustworthy person to go with me to pick it up." ”

"Okay, you go to Hejian, work hard when you get to the place, don't ruin the name of the clan, you have to go to the capital to see Benhou. Dog, you and Lord Liu go to have a look, things are done neatly, Ben Hou is still waiting to return to Beijing. Zhang Rang closed his eyes after speaking. Liu Xin said in his heart, it seems that he will continue to be filial in the future. The one called the dog was the little eunuch he had seen on the first day, and he must have been someone Zhang Rang could trust.

In the west courtyard of the Juchao Marquis Mansion, sixty large wooden boxes were neatly arranged, and Zhang Gou'er swallowed his saliva: "These are all for Marquis Zhang?" ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he almost fell into a big fight, all for him, I haven't been busy in vain these days. Liu Xin was ruthless: "Lord Xiao Zhang, you and I still have Hou Ye Zhang for this money, one for each person, what do you think?" ”

"Then thank you Lord Liu, I will be closer to Lord Liu in the future." Zhang Gou'er was not polite at all.

"But how do you take this money away?" Liu Xin was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, Lord Liu, this matter is on me. I first asked someone to send one to the post house and return to Beijing with Marquis Zhang. I'll tell Hou Ye again, send a few people from the forbidden army brought by Hou Ye to join me, escort Lord Liu to take office, and when I get to the river, I will bring another back to Beijing. Lord Liu, you think this arrangement is good. ”

"Then Liu Xin is here, thank you." Liu Xin was immediately impressed by Zhang Gou'er, this trick was so clever that even Zhang Rang had concealed it.

Back at the post house, Zhang Rangzi agreed, threw down an official document, and rushed back to Beijing with 30 million official money and 20 boxes of Liu Xin's tribute. Zhang Gou'er led a team of sergeants and loaded forty boxes onto the cart. Liu Xin went to the inn to settle the bill, hired a carriage for Ma Yun to sit, and the group left the nest and marched along the road to the river.

Liu Xin looked at the excited Zhang Gou'er, and looked at the sergeant who accompanied the escort, and felt a little unreal, so easy to become a guard? Look at the forty boxes again, the 10 million that I said a few days ago was 2 million before I got it, and I was slightly disappointed. Ma Yun sat in the car but was secretly happy, Liu Xin naturally wouldn't be a thief anymore when she became an official, and she was relieved, if he didn't be a thief in the first place, he wouldn't have come to the Eastern Han Dynasty inexplicably.

Now that Liu Xin is in power, he knows that this little eunuch Zhang Gou'er is Zhang Rang's nephew, and he may have something to ask Zhang Rang in the future, so he deliberately has a good relationship with Zhang Gou'er. Although Zhang Gou'er and Liu Xin have not known each other for a long time, with the two million money, they feel very close to Liu Xin, regard Liu Xin as a confidant, and tell Liu Xin all the rules of officialdom and interesting stories about the capital along the way. Even the secret news that Queen He poisoned Wang Meiren, Zhang Gouer told Liu Xin about it.

It turned out that Queen He's name was He Lian, and she was the daughter of He Zhen, the butcher of Nanyang. According to the "women's system" and the Eastern Han Dynasty's selection customs, the daughters of lowly butchers are not eligible to enter the palace, but He Zhen bribed the selection personnel in the court, and He was selected to be selected. He was born different, seven feet one inch long, bright skin, even flesh and bones, this height is equivalent to about one meter seventy-two now, and it is definitely enough to be a model in Liu Xin's original era. Liu Hong has always been lustful, looking at this beauty, how can there be any reason not to like it? Several degrees of spring breeze, with budding seeds, met in October, gave birth to a boy, named Liu Bian, who is seven years old this year. The year before last, there was a Zhao Guo beauty Wang, who was the granddaughter of Wang Bao in the former five facial features, and should also be elected to the palace, with a similar appearance to He Hou, but quite talented, able to write and calculate, good at coping, Liu Hong refused to let go, and then let her enter the scarf, several times Luan turned the phoenix upside down, and planted into a happy leaf love seedling, and also gave birth to a son last year, named Liu Xie. Queen He was very jealous when she saw that Wang Meiren was favored. Taking advantage of Wang Meiren's postpartum body has not yet recovered, she needs to take medicine for treatment, Queen He conspired to design, secretly sent her henchmen to serve in the medicine, and put it into the medicine, although Wang Meiren is clever, after all, she can't prevent it, and after taking the poison, she will die! Liu Hong quickly identified the murderer, and Long Yan was furious and decided to abolish Empress He. But after many eunuchs interceded, he did not dare to punish Queen He. Although due to the bitter pleading of the eunuchs in the middle palace, the He family kept the queen's phoenix crown, but through Liu Hong's lingering thoughts about Wang Meiren, it can be seen that Queen He lost Liu Hong's heart forever. Liu Xin saw from this story that the power of the eunuch was almost far away, and he was secretly frightened.

As for the sergeants, Liu Xin was not allowed to drink alcohol along the way, but there were fish and meat at meals, and he usually treated them politely, so there was no arrogance. Everyone felt that this adult was a county guard at a young age, and he was a relative of the Han family, but he didn't look at the big guy as a person, and they all respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition, Liu Xin also made a big discovery. It was the captain who turned out to be Xu Huang! It turned out that Xu Huang was a native of Hedong, originally a small official in his hometown, and later transferred to the Beijing army as a captain. At this time, Xu Huang was only in his twenties, and he had not yet used a big axe in his hand, but he was carrying a waist knife like other sergeants, except that he was stronger than others, he didn't see anything special. Don't talk about Liu Xin, even Ma Yun also knows Xu Huang, who is one of the five good generals under Cao Ying. Liu Xin had a heart, and in the future, this Hebei would definitely be Cao Ying's world, so he got closer to Xu Huang.

The journey from Juchao to Hejian is missing, except for Ma Yun sitting in the hired carriage, everyone else is on foot, and there are more than ten big cars, this speed is naturally not fast, along the way Liu Xin and Ma Yun are in a hurry, how nostalgic for the past time, not to mention taking a plane, even if you take a train, it only takes a day to arrive.

More than ten days later, the group came to a mountain forest, Xu Huang pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "My lord, bypass this mountain to the boundary of Chenliu Land, there is a county seat not far ahead." ”

Liu Xin looked up at the sky, it was July, the early autumn sun was still scorching, and after walking such a long way, everyone was already sweating, so he said to everyone: "Look, there is a forest over there, and now it is noon, since it is not far from the county seat, it is better to rest here, and it is not too late for us to hurry up when the head is west." ”

Zhang Gou'er couldn't walk for a long time, but he insisted on it for the sake of the two million, and now after listening to Liu Xin's proposal, he naturally raised his hands in agreement, and hurriedly said: "What Lord Liu said is very true, let's rest for a while and then leave, we won't delay anything." ”

The leaders agreed, and the sergeants would object, so they pulled the carts and ran into the woods, each found a cool place, and lay down in all directions. Everyone brought dry food, there is a mountain stream not far away, the water is crystal clear, on such a hot day, no one would rather nibble on dry food, and no one wants to rush to the city for a big meal.

Ma Yun walked down from the car, saw Liu Xin sweating profusely, and said distressedly: "Husband, you take a rest, I'll go get some water to wash you." ”

Liu Xin looked around, the sergeants were all tired and lying on the ground, although the mountain stream was not far away, no one was willing to go over to fetch water, so he said: "Wife, let's go with you, by the way, let's see if I can get some game and improve the food." After speaking, he looked at Xu Huang and Zhang Gou'er, who were already lying on the ground, and quietly attached themselves to Ma Yun's ear and said: "This way, it is rare to have a chance, we have been to the world of two people together." ”

Ma Yun blushed and said, "You, you're not too tired after walking for so long, and you're still thinking about this." Although he said this, he unconsciously followed Liu Xin towards the mountain stream.

The two have been together for a month, and Liu Xin told Ma Yun everything about her past. Only then did Ma Yun know that Liu Xin's cases were far more than the ones he had mastered, and the parties involved in other cases did not report the cases at all. Moreover, Liu Xin also provided a lot of materials to the anti-corruption department, which led to the fall of more than a dozen officials, including the director of her father's police station, who took bribes and kept many mistresses outside. Not only that, but the director has also maintained improper relationships with many women in the police station for a long time, for which Liu Xin also laughed at Ma Yun, if he hadn't brought him off the horse, you would have looked so beautiful, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape his clutches when you enter the police station. As for the stolen money that Liu Xin got, he did not squander it himself, but set up several foundations, and most of the money was used to support poor families and out-of-school children. With the deepening of her understanding of Liu Xin, Ma Yun's love for him has become stronger, and the feeling of hatred for him as a thief in the past has long disappeared, and her heart has been firmly tied to Liu Xin's body.

The two walked to the side of the mountain stream, Liu Xin took out the flying knife and quietly observed the surroundings to see if there was a chance to find one or two wild animals, while Ma Yun wet his handkerchief and helped him wipe his face, both of them enjoyed this moment. Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of horses behind them, and when Liu Xin looked back, it was the horse driving for unknown reasons, and was neighing desperately, with hooves dancing wildly, as if trying to break free from the reins.
