Liu Xin's heart tightened, Ma Yun's premonition was really right, their brother must have come at this time for the matter of Huang Jie, so he pretended to be surprised and asked: "The two gentlemen came to Liu so late, could it be that something big happened?" ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue said in unison: "Back to the lord, the two of us are here for Huang Jie." ”

Liu Xin sneered in his heart, and sure enough, he showed a blank look on his face and asked, "Yellow shot?" What's that? ”

The Kuai brothers glanced at each other, Kuai Liang arched his hand, and said: "Lord, Huang Jie is not a thing, he is the son of Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, and he is the one who collided with Madame this afternoon and was arrested." ”

It turned out that there were several other rich children who traveled to Xiangyang City with Huang Zhu today, Huang Zhu was fat, walked slowly, and gradually fell behind. It was precisely because he was lagging behind that he happened to see Ma Yun and his party, and he was confused for a while and ran to the other side of the avenue, so the later scene happened.

Huang Zhu also came to Xiangyang this time to buy New Year's goods, and in the morning he bought all the things that were used and handed them over to a few house slaves to put in the inn, and he should be invited by a few sons and brothers who were good friends in the ordinary day to visit these places that they called "Women's Street" to see if they could meet the sexual encounter. Approaching the Spring Festival, these streets are really full of purple and red, and they are dizzying, and when the sons and brothers who are walking in front find that there is a noise here, they know that the fat man is lost. There are those sharp-eyed women, who have seen a dispute with the fat man, turned out to be the wives of the state shepherd, where dare to come forward to help, so they have to go back and tell the news to the house slaves brought by Huang Jie, anyway, they can't help this help.

These house slaves are all shocked, if the son has three longs and two shorts, they don't have to live. There was that old Cheng in it, knowing that the Huang family had some friendship with the Xiangyang Kuai family and the Cai family, so he ran to Kuailiang Gate for help. It happened that Kuai Yue came back from Nanjun to prepare for the New Year, and was chatting at Kuai Liang's house, and after learning about this, he also insisted on coming to see Liu Xin with Kuai Liang.

Liu Xin looked suddenly enlightened, and said hatefully: "It turned out to be that dead fat man!" Hum! He dared to openly tease my wife and beat my daughter on the streets of Xiangyang, and I have already decided to light him tomorrow! ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue said in unison: "Lord, don't do it!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Xin looked at Kuai Liang with a puzzled face, and said, "Zirou, tell me, why not?" ”

Kuai's conscience was slandered for a while, what daughter, that is not your own, this Zhu family is really a disaster, it hurt Chen Jie's family at the beginning, and now because of her daughter, I am afraid that Huang Jie is also more than lucky, but his face is as calm as water, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, although Huang Jie has had, he is not guilty of death." According to the intention of his subordinates, it is better to reprimand him fiercely than to reprimand him fiercely, ask him to pay money to atone for his sins, and let him think about it behind closed doors after returning home. ”

Liu Xin snorted coldly, looked at Kuai Yue again, and asked, "So, in Mr. Xenodu's opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Kuai Yue arched his hands and said unhurriedly: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that my brother's handling is improper. Jiangxia Huangzu has always refused to obey the lord's orders, and now that his son has fallen into the hands of the lord, how can he be easily put back. The lord can use the yellow shot as a hostage to force Huang Zu to submit! ”

Liu Xin was surprised, daring to love these two brothers is not the same heart! In fact, he didn't know that the Kuai brothers often disagreed in dealing with things. Kuai Liang has always advocated benevolence and righteousness, of course, his benevolence is more inclined to those noble families. Kuai Yue is different, he pursues the supremacy of interests, and he is decisive and ruthless. Historically, there were thieves rampant in Jingzhou, and he helped Liu Biao lure down more than 50 thieves, but regardless of Kuai Liang's persuasion, he killed them all without a trace of mercy. Kuai Yue saw very clearly that Liu Xin has now gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and has won the hearts of the people, and the future of the Kuai family must rely on Liu Xin's big tree, he thinks that he is not doing this for his brother, but for the sake of the long-term prosperity of the Kuai family. What's more, Kuai Yue didn't have a good impression of Huang Zu in the first place, in his eyes, Huang Zhu was just a chess piece that could be used.

At this time, Fu Zhu was also summoned to come, he figured out what was going on, and he also said: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that since this yellow shot is in the hands of the lord, things will be much easier." The lord can give Huang Zu two ways to choose, either drag his son's body back, or let Jiang Xia and move his family to Xiangyang, and the lord can allow him to be a happy and rich man. ”

Kuai Yue was immediately impressed by the frustration, but he didn't expect that this gentleman, who looked weak and weak, was more ruthless than himself, he just wanted Huang Zu to bow his head, but he wanted to uproot Huang Zu!

Kuai Liang suddenly had a feeling that he was alone, but he still did not give up, and said in a snort: "Huang Zu is quite popular in Jiangxia, and rashly exerting pressure, I am afraid that it will backfire, and I ask the lord to think twice." ”

Kuai Yue said disdainfully: "Brother's words are wrong! Huang Zu is no longer popular in Jiangxia, is it still comparable to the lord's popularity in Jingzhou? I'm afraid that the people of Jiangxia have long been looking forward to the benevolent government of the lord being able to be implemented there! ”

He was right at all, Huang Zu's popularity could probably only stay in Jiangxia's scholar family, and the common people had long looked forward to the new tax policy being implemented in Jiangxia one day.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and Zhang Ji hurriedly walked in. Liu Xin stopped talking to them, and quickly stood up and asked, "Zhongjing, how is the situation?" ”

Zhang Ji cleared his throat and said slowly: "Back to the lord, the eldest young master was just a little frightened, I used a few stitches just now, and now there is no big problem." ”

Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about Madame and Miss?" ”

Zhang Ji replied: "Back to the lord, there is nothing wrong with the eldest lady and the second lady. The eldest lady was shocked to her heart, and I have already prescribed a prescription and need to stay in bed for a while to recuperate. It's just that the third lady ...... her."

Liu Xin's heart sank, and he asked sharply, "What's wrong with the third lady?" ”

Zhang Ji sighed, shook his head, and said, "Alas, the third lady has been pregnant for a month, and this time she was frightened and had a fetal gas. The subordinates have already used a recipe to calm the nerves and protect the fetus, but whether it can work depends on the creation of the third lady. ”

Liu Xin's expression changed, and gradually he was already full of anger, and said fiercely: "Zirou, since you came to help the dead fat man intercede, you must have some dealings with his family." You bring a letter to Huang Zu, I can let his son go back, but his son's two heads can only be brought back one! ”

Kuai Liang heard Zhang Ji's words, his heart was already cold, he knew who the third lady was, that was Cai Yong's daughter, if there were three long and two short, don't talk about the lord, Cai Yong alone couldn't pass this pass, it seems that this lobbyist can't be done, so he had to say worriedly: "My subordinates obey orders." It's just that Huang Jie only has one head, where did the two heads come from? ”

Liu Xin said coldly: "He has a big head above and a small head below. If he wanted to keep the big head above, he cut off the little head below, and if he wanted to keep the little head below, he cut off the big head at the top. ”

Kuai Liang listened to it for a long time, and finally understood the long list of tongue twisters that Liu Xin said, which means that Huang Jie will either die or be a eunuch. But he didn't dare to say anything more in front of Liu Xin at this time, so he had to retreat. Fu Zhu, Kuai Yue, and Zhang Ji also retired one after another, and they were ready to go.

Liu Xin didn't have time to say goodbye to them, hurried back to the back house, and went straight to Cai Yan's room, only to see her lying on the bed, her face pale, the tears on her face were still dry, and Ma Yun was sitting on the edge of the bed comforting her.

Ma Yun turned her head and saw Liu Xin coming in, sighed secretly, and said, "Husband, this time it's all my fault for not taking good care of me." ”

Liu Xin shook her hand lightly and said, "No one can think about everything, where did you think that this kind of thing would happen in Xiangyang." How's Yan'er's condition? ”

Cai Yan, who had just stopped crying, couldn't help but shed tears when she heard Liu Xin ask, and sobbed: "Husband, I'm afraid the child can't be saved." ”

Liu Xin gently wiped away the tears on her face and said softly: "It's okay, with Mr. Zhang's generation of miracle doctors here, there will be no problem." All you have to do now is recuperate with peace of mind and remember to take your medicine on time. ”

After calming down for a while, Cai Yan's mood calmed down. The child in her belly means a lot to her, she can finally marry into the Liu family, and she can be regarded as coming with a mission, if there is an accident, how can she feel at ease.

Liu Xin instructed Ma Yun to take good care of Cai Yan, and hurried to Zhu Qian's room.

Liu Rui was sitting on the bed, facing a bowl of thick medicinal soup with a sad face, Zhu Qian had tears in her eyes, and patiently persuaded her.

Liu Xin took the medicine bowl from Zhu Qian's hand and said, "I'll come." ”

Liu Rui blinked her big eyes, her brows twisted into a line, her small mouth was high, and she sobbed and said, "Dad, it's too bitter, Rui'er doesn't want to drink it." ”

Liu Xin said solemnly: "How can you do it without taking medicine?" If Rui'er doesn't hear about it again, Dad's story will be completely broken! ”

Liu Rui swallowed a mouthful of medicinal soup very reluctantly, stuck out her little tongue, and shouted repeatedly, "Bitter, bitter, Dad, I want sugar people." ”

Liu Xin hurriedly continued to coax: "Be good, drink all the medicine, I'll make you ten sugar people." ”

The medicine is bitter, don't talk about Liu Rui, even Cai Yan is not willing to take the medicine obediently, and Liu Xin has to persuade him to swallow it reluctantly. Liu Xin had no choice, she stayed in the house for five or six days in a row, coaxed Liu Rui to coax Cai Yan, coaxed Cai Yan to coax Liu Rui again, and finally coped with the two of them.

Zhang Ji also came to the house on time every day to revisit the two of them, and finally said to Liu Xin: "Congratulations, the lady and the young lady are no longer in trouble, they don't need to continue to take medicine, just rest for a while." ”

A stone on Liu Xin's heart fell to the ground, but he saw Kuai Liang running in in a hurry, holding a book in his hand, and shouted: "Lord, Jiang Xia has a letter!" ”
