Chapter 141 Bitter Mouth
"Dare to ask, but General Liu? Li Shu didn't know that the general was coming, and he never went out of the city to greet him, which was rude. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Li Shu clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said with affection. Compared with the title of Yuyuan Taishou, Li Shu cares more about Liu Yong's identity as a general, not to mention that this is still a very important and popular strategist under Cao Cao's account.
"Don't dare. It's just Liu Yong! Liu Yong waved his hand lightly, and the personal general next to him handed over the official certificate and seal letter to Li Shu. Li Shu swept the corner of his eyes, and the master book next to him comprehended, took the first step to take it, checked it correctly, and then returned it. These are all necessary procedures, otherwise with the conditions of ancient times, who knows if you are a liar or not. Of course, these screening things are all done by the entourage, and the chief does not have to worry about it.
"General, please inside!" "Please!" ā
The two sides sat down separately, and some servants offered snacks and tea, and bowed down. The two chatted for a while, Li Shu didn't know what happened to this Liu Yong, who had never met him, went to Lujiang, but since he came to visit as an official, he must have official business to do, so he asked carefully: "Didn't General Liu go north with the prime minister to Jizhou, why did he come to Lujiang?" But the prime minister has something to tell Li Shu, the general please speak, Li Shu will do his best. ā
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Mrs. Li is full of lights and joy in the house, but there is a happy event in the family? ā
Li Shu smiled on his face, and replied, "It's to prepare for the dog to marry a wife." ā
"Don't hide it, Liu Yong came to Lujiang to marry his son!" Liu Yong nodded slightly, with a serious face.
Li Shu was slightly stunned, a little inexplicable, and asked: "Li Shu is stupid, I don't know what the general means, I implore the general to make it clear!" ā
"Okay. It was someone who denounced Taishou in front of the prime minister, saying that Taishou was bullying, occupying people's wives, and forcing people to die. Liu Yong said seriously, "The prime minister was furious when he heard this, and ordered Liu Yong to come to investigate the matter thoroughly, and played back according to the truth." ā
Li Shu knew that this was Liu Yong's false biography, so he was so frightened that he quickly stood up, and shouted "wronged" in his mouth, and said: "General, Li Shu is familiar with the books of sages, abides by discipline and morality, is upright and honest, how can he do this thing that is angry with heaven and man." There must be someone who has a bad relationship with Li Shu, so as to frame me, and I hope that the general will see clearly and return Li Shu's innocence. ā
"Tai Shou also has a point. The prime minister is not a person who listens to and believes partially, how can he listen to this side of the story, so he only sent Liu Yong to investigate, don't wronged a good person. is too conservative and relaxed, Liu Yong will definitely deal with it impartially, and will never let Taishou be wronged. Liu Yong was relieved, just like a veteran of officialdom, sleek and sophisticated, a few words seemed to give Li Shu a reassurance, and the subtext was to tell Li Shu, don't worry, I came here to make a show.
Sure enough, Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately felt a lot more relieved, and thanked him: "The prime minister distinguishes right from wrong and is impartial, and Li Shu is very grateful." Thank you Prime Minister, thank you General Liu. ā
Liu Yong took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Shu, and said, "This is an official letter sent by the prime minister to Liu Yong, please keep an eye on it." ā
Li Shu took it out and swept it hastily, and returned it to Liu Yong, with a flattering smile on his face: "Since the prime minister's seal letter, how dare Li Shu disobey." Li Shu will wholeheartedly cooperate with the general to thoroughly investigate this matter, and dare not hide it in the slightest. ā
Liu Yong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his letter was originally an official letter when he asked Ying to return to Xu Du to assist in the defense that day, but it happened that when Cao Cao wrote this letter, he only said that he would send Liu Yong back on business, but did not write specific matters and places. Even so, the loophole is still extremely obvious, Li Shucheng's marriage was only two months ago, and Liu Yong's letter was dated half a year ago, how could Cao Cao predict in advance what would happen in a few months. However, with Liu Yong's grace and power before, Li Shu was distracted and didn't pay much attention to it, plus the celebrity in front of Cao Cao was in front of him, Li Shu didn't dare and wouldn't have thought that Liu Yong would actually take an expired document to trick himself.
Li Shu made a move, and the attendant offered a plate of yellow and clear gold ingots. Li Shu said with a smile: "Li Shu misbehaved, which caused the prime minister to work hard, and actually annoyed the general to come to this remote place of Lujiang in person, Li Shu was ashamed, and he was cautious, not respectful, and hoped that the general would not hesitate to laugh." ā
Liu Yong knew that this was the rule of officialdom, and if he didn't accept it, it would make Li Shu uneasy, anyway, in the future, he would take it from the people and use it for the people, so he stood up and thanked him: "This general will thank you for being too guarded." "Take it and put it aside.
Li Shu saw that Liu Yong accepted the gold without hesitation, and he was even more relieved, and said, "General, please take a seat." Then he asked in a low voice, "General, I wonder who told me?" Can I see it? ā
Liu Yong said lightly: "Can Taishou know Jiao Zhongqing? ā
Li Shu was stunned, "What the general said is Jiao Zhongqing, the scribe in the palace?" ā
"Exactly."
"Is that Jiao Zhongqing? I have no grievances with him, so why do you want to harm me? ā
Liu Yong was noncommittal, and asked again: "Taishou can know who the wife of the son is?" ā
Li Shu was surprised: "It was Shi Bao, the head of the government, who said that it was Laneige, the daughter of the former Yin Liu Gong." ā
Liu Yong asked again: "Tai Shou, can you know that this Liu Lanzhi married Jiao Zhongqing as his wife before?" ā
"I don't know." Li Shu was stunned, "General, Li Shu was transferred to Lujiang last year, and he is not familiar with the connections in this place. After thinking about it, Li Shu said again: "However, since Jiao Zhongqing has taken Liu Lanzhi back to his parents' house, there is nothing wrong with me marrying the Liu family." ā
"Taishou, you don't know that Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi are in love with each other, and their love is deep, but because Jiao's mother doesn't like it and Jiao Zhongqing is filial, they wrote a letter of resignation against their will, which is really a last resort. After Liu Lanzhi returned to her parents' home, she first had a county order from Anhui County to ask for her son's marriage, but was politely rejected by Liu; Taishou proposed, but readily agreed, others did not say that Liu Lanzhi climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, but said that Taishou used power to oppress people, which is not groundless. ā
"It turns out that there are all these things going on here." Li Shu was stunned for a moment, and then defended: "General, Li Shu doesn't know about this, how can he use his power to oppress people and occupy his wife?" The so-called death is even more indifferent. ā
"Li Taishou, that Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi made a vow when they were separated, to try to persuade their mother, and soon take her back to the door. If the two can't be reunited, they will go to Huangquan together, be born in the same bed, and die together. In this way, the day Liu Lanzhi married into the Taishou Mansion or when Jiao Zhongqing died. Although this matter has little to do with Taishou, it is the respect of a house, and everyone looks up to it, so it is necessary to prevent criticism from villains, and it is necessary to act prudently. ā
Li Shu was speechless, so he had to reluctantly answer: "Then Liu Lanzhi promised my son to propose, but she didn't keep her oath and didn't keep her promise." Isn't it extremely stupid for such an unrighteous woman that Jiao Zhongqing still begs for death? ā
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Since this woman is untrustworthy and unrighteous, will Taishou still marry into the door?" ā
Li Shu was speechless for a moment. Liu Yong said: "Maybe that's not the case. This Liu Lanzhi agreed to get married, and there may be other reasons. Do you want to ask? ā
"No need!" Li Shu shook his head, "A woman marries and obeys her husband, and she follows her father at home." Liu's father has passed away a long time ago, and his brother is in charge of the family. That being the case, I sent someone to go and quit the business. ā
"This is the best, otherwise it will be a loss to be too virtuous." Liu Yong nodded in affirmation, and said, "There is no need to regret being too guarded. I know that there is a woman in the eastern suburbs, named Qin Luofu, who is seventeen years old, beautiful and moving, modest and obedient, and is a good match for the son. Why don't you go and ask for it? If it's a match made in heaven, I don't think the wedding date needs to be changed. ā
Li Shu clapped his hands and said with joy: "That's the best." He said to Liu Yong again: "Why don't you return when the general will return?" If the general is free, can he stay in Lujiang to marry my son? ā
Liu Yong smiled: "I'm afraid it will take a few days to get it done." Just because the prime minister said that if Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi can really live and die together, he will ask Liu Yong to try to fulfill it. When the son gets married, Liu Yong has to bother a few cups, but the main marriage is not necessary, and the ceremony is still completed. ā
Li Shu originally wanted to wait for Liu Yong to leave, and then investigate the matter with constipation, to see if Jiao Zhongqing or the Wancheng County Commander was making trouble behind, and these people would be tortured and regret not being at the beginning. However, I heard that Cao Cao was still concerned about this matter, so I had to scold in my heart and had no choice but to give up. In the blink of an eye, if I tried my best to accomplish this, Liu Yong would definitely be overjoyed, and then he would say a few kind words in front of Cao Cao, wouldn't it be better than anything else? Thinking of this, Li Shu was overjoyed, and said: "The general is tired, if you don't dislike it, how about resting in the Xiaguan Mansion?" ā
Liu Yong said with a smile: "Don't bother to be too guarded, Liu Yong's family and entourage have already stayed in the inn first." ā
Li Shu flattered: "I heard that the general married four ladies together, all of them are like flowers and jade, and there are even Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Da Qiao and other stunning colors, and we are all extremely envious. The vulgar fans in Li Shu's mansion are afraid that the general will look down on them. Hearing this, Li Shu originally planned to offer a few beauties to serve Liu Yong.
Liu Yong was not interested in this kind of "sexual bribery", and it was difficult to explain it, so he smiled and said: "In the next few days, Tai Shouke is too busy with affairs, so I don't have to worry about Liu Yong." Before Li Shu could speak, Liu Yong patted him lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You and my brother, there is no need to be polite." It's just that Liu Yong wants to do something, and he needs to be helped by Taishou to send a reliable person. ā
Li Shu saw that Liu Yong's tone was sincere, and he really had a lot of things to do, so he hugged his fists and apologized: "Then let the chief bookkeeper of the mansion accompany the general on business, and Li Shu will be rude." ā
Liu Yong returned to the inn, Xiao Qiao was impatient to wait, and when he saw his figure, he hurriedly ran out and asked, "Brother-in-law, how are things going?" ā
Liu Yong saw Xiao Qiao's anxious face and full of anticipation, he didn't dare to joke anymore, his face was smug, and he said with a smile: "You still don't believe in your brother-in-law's strength?" Don't worry, Li Shu agreed to withdraw from the marriage. ā
Xiao Qiao cheered when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, tell me what you said to Li Shu." ā
Liu Yongyi frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "My brother-in-law has helped my little sister so much, so you let your brother-in-law stand here and say?" ā
"Look, I'm in a hurry." Xiao Qiao patted his head embarrassedly, stretched out his hands and pushed Liu Yong into his room, helped him sit down, made another cup of hot tea, Fang Zai also sat down on the side, and said with a smile, "Now my brother-in-law can talk, right?" ā
Liu Yong smiled: "That's right." Blowing open the cup with a few tea leaves floating on the water surface, and carefully taking a few sips, Fang raised his head and told the meeting with Li Shu in detail.
Xiao Qiao stuck out his tongue and said with some fear: "Brother-in-law is really bold, aren't you afraid that Li Shu will see the flaw?" ā
As soon as his brother-in-law came up, he gave Li Shu a dismount, and he was restless, so he would take a closer look. What's more, even if he sees that the date is wrong, I can say that the prime minister did not check it for a while and wrote it wrong. He is a little Taishou, at most he is suspicious, and he dares to confront me in front of Cao Gong? ā
Xiao Qiao nodded, and said, "No matter what, Sister Lanzhi and Brother Zhongqing can be together in the end." ā
"It's still early. This is just the first step in a long march. Liu Yong ignored Xiao Qiao's puzzled eyes, and said to himself, "It's simple to let Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi get back together, I just need to go to the door and say it." But what's the use of that? Your brother Zhongqing's mother still doesn't like this daughter-in-law the same. We have to think of a way to make Jiao's mother accept her from the bottom of her heart. ā
Xiao Qiao nodded, and asked again, "Does my brother-in-law have a way?" ā
"It's hard to say." Liu Yong sighed, "Let's wait and see first, and act when the opportunity arises." Little sister, you rest first, and your brother-in-law calls you when you eat later. ā
The "mayor's" business is done quickly. In the afternoon, the long history of the government went to Liu's house first, and only said that he didn't know that Liu Lanzhi had been retired by her husband's family before, and it must have been a loss to the woman, so she asked Chengli back and broke off this family business. Liu Lanzhi's brother was indignant, but he was helpless, scolded Liu Lanzhi and went out to get drunk; Mother Liu sighed and couldn't stop crying, only Liu Lanzhi secretly rejoiced. Na Changshi took these gifts and went straight to the Qin family to ask for relatives. The Qin family heard that the other party was a beloved son who was too guarded, talented and beautiful, and of the same age, so they gladly agreed.
"Brother-in-law, what should I do next?" Xiao Qiao listened to Liu Yong hear all this, and asked anxiously.
Liu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go see Jiao's mother first." Only when she is explained can this matter be considered complete. ā
"I'm going too." Xiao Qiao said hurriedly.
"What are you going to do?" Liu Yong shook his head.
"Brother-in-law, you let me go." Xiao Qiao shook Liu Yong's arm lightly, looked at him pitifully, and begged, "Maybe the little sister can help." ā
"Help? I'm thankful you didn't help. Liu Yong joked. Xiao Qiao was a little relieved when he heard Liu Yong's tone, and his heart was overjoyed, and he begged: "Brother-in-law, I'm bored in the house all day, and you don't care about me." ā
Liu Yong's heart softened, and he secretly thought that it might be really useful to have a woman next to him, so he said: "It's okay for my little sister to go, but you can't speak without the permission of your brother-in-law." ā
"Okay." Xiao Qiao was overjoyed when he saw Liu Yong agree, "I must be obedient, if you don't ask me to speak, I won't say a word." Liu Yong pouted secretly, I believe you are strange.
Jiao's mother heard that the chief secretary of the Taishou Mansion accompanied a general to visit, but she didn't know what she meant, so she refused on the grounds that there was no man in the family. The master said, old man, this General Liu is here to visit you. Jiao's mother couldn't, so she had to welcome Liu Yong and Xiao Qiao in with trepidation. Waiting for others to sit down, the main book first introduced Liu Yong's identity.
When Jiao's mother heard that the unattractive man in front of her was deeply trusted by Cao Cao, favored by the saint, and made great achievements at a young age, with many titles such as General Yangwei, Mu Xianghou, and Yuyuan Taishou, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked: "The old body and the general have never known each other, I don't know what the general has to say?"
