Outside Luoyang Prison, Liu Bei and Guan Yu held umbrellas and waited together.

Yang Qiu came out of prison, a cyan robe covered with blood, he put on a robe, and walked towards Liu Bei and the others.

The rain washed the surface of the umbrella, and also washed the blood stains in it through the coat, and the blood water flowed slowly down the rain towards the gutter.

"It seems that Yang Sili has already checked Duan Gong's body." Liu Bei laughed.

"After checking, there is no doubt that it is Duan Gong. Duan Gong is also a hero for a while, but he doesn't want to end up like this. Yang Qiu sighed.

Liu Bei tilted the umbrella back slightly, and looked up at Yang Qiu's face, "If these words are heard by others, I am afraid that they will laugh at you Yang Sili cat crying mouse." ”

Yang Qiu pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his wrist, just now the cane killed Wang Fu's father and son really wasted his effort, and his arms were still a little numb at this time.

"Do others know what I have to do with it?" He laughed, "I don't need anyone else to know what I'm doing. Even if they think I'm cool, what can I do? ”

He raised his head slightly, looking at the rain curtain in the sky, "If you care about others in everything, like that pedantic master, you only know how to write some articles and scold a few words, but when it comes to things, you don't even dare to mention the knife, what's the use of being recognized by such a person?" ”

"If you don't do anything, do you have to wait for these eunuchs to destroy themselves?"

Liu Bei smiled, "What Yang Sili said is reasonable, but you are alone in this matter, and you are alone." It is difficult for the eagle dog to have a good end, may you think about it. ”

"All year round, I don't know when Xuande loves the most? A favorite is at this time. In winter, there is snow, which is immaculate and clean, covering the earth, as if it can cover all the filth of the world. He laughed, "Who in the world does not love whiteness, but the whiteness of snow, after all, it is not pure white, fake, and it cannot be true." One day the wind and frost will recede, and the snow will turn into water. ”

Yang Qiu shook the rain on his body, "The only person who loves him in his life is this rain." Don't avoid difficulties, carry filth, if you enter the river, you will roll east. If you can't get in, you can also bury it deep underground. ”

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, "Rain and snow are different, but snow will eventually turn into water, so why not wait for Yang Jun." ”

Yang Qiu stretched out his hand from under his coat and let the rain wash away the blood stains on it, he smiled, "How long will it take until the snow melts into water?" It's not as good as my rain. ”

"Success is a time to clean up the dust and achieve the prosperity of the Han family. If you lose, you will die, and that's it. Gambling on such a big thing as a single person, I still want to make some money. Yang Qiu smiled.

"Yang Jun also has the ambition of the master father Yan? should know the reason for the death of the master father Yan back then. Whether it succeeds or not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save my life. If you stop in time at this time, it will not be too late. ”

Liu Bei still couldn't help but advise.

Although Yang Qiu looks like a cool official, today's killing of Wang Fu's father and son is for justice or personal grievances, and after all, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

As for Duan Cheng's matter, it is true that Duan Cheng attacked Dongqiang in the west in the past, but it is also true that he arrested Tai students later, so how can there be some real people with lofty ideals among them?

Therefore, Duan Cheng can die or not, since he chooses to die, Liu Bei can naturally only fulfill it.

Yang Qiu smiled, "It's not easy to get to this point, if you don't give it a try, how can you be willing?" It's just that Liu Jun should do me, don't forget it. ”

He stopped talking, and tore off his robe, letting the rain wash away the blood stains on his body.

Slanting wind and drizzle, no need to return.

Liu Bei looked at the Yang Ball and left, turned around and glanced back at the Yang Prison behind him, it was dark and dark, and there was a pair of vertical children in it, wanting to devour people in.

He propped up the umbrella in his hand, thinking about the path he was going to take.

What he has to do now, and what he can do, is nothing more than to protect the people gathered under his umbrella.

Then let the umbrella grow bigger and bigger until it covers the whole world.

The people who shelter the world are happy, and the wind and rain are as safe as a mountain.

……………………

The next day, the Yang Ball hangs the corpse of Wang Fu outside the summer gate, and the tree list is written on its side, and the four words "thief Wang Fu" are written on it.

There are also words circulating in the community, Yan Yang Qiu tasted a smile on the people left and right, and the first to get rid of the powerful and cunning, such as Zhang Rang Cao Jie and other generations, as for the children of the princess, such as the children of the Yuan family, engaged in self-management, without the help of his Yang lieutenant.

All of a sudden, the door of the powerful was closed.

The rumors spread very quickly, and they spread among the cities and wells of the city in just a few days.

………………

North of Luoyang City, in Jia Xu's house.

"So, this news came from the Yuan family? That's interesting. Jia Xu said with interest.

"Yes, it is indeed from the Yuan family. Although the whereabouts of the person who released the news were secretive, my people still found some clues. Shi Ah also sighed.

When he heard the news that day, he asked his brothers to find out the source of the news, and finally found the Yuan family with a lot of effort.

"I think it was the Yuan family who took revenge for Yuan Yu, Yuan Yu took care of the Yuan family in the palace, and now that there is no Yuan Yu, I am afraid that the Yuan family's life will not be good."

The eunuchs arrested by Yang Qiu that day were naturally not only Wang Fu's father and son, but also Yuan Yu and other eunuchs, all of whom were killed in prison by his staff.

Jia Xu was reading at this time, and said with a smile when he heard this, "Do you really think that the Yuan family released this news for revenge?" The Yuan family is a famous family, how could such a thing sit for a eunuch. ”

Shi A was stunned, "Isn't that the case?"

"The Yuan family may have the intention of avenging Yuan Yu, but it is only a small part of it."

Jia Xu chuckled, "You must know that eunuchs and families have always been on the same page. Now that Yang Qiu is charging ahead, it should be in line with the intentions of these big families of the Yuan family. ”

"Even if they don't dare to rush to help, they should stand on the side and wave their flags and shout. Why did you come up with this rumor to isolate Yangqiu from the family? Doesn't this act make him die? ”

】

Shi A frowned, "What does Jia Jun mean?"

"I don't mind guessing these people with the worst mind." He smiled, "In my opinion, the Yuan family's move is nothing more than self-respect. ”

"In fact, there have always been many disagreements between the families, but now that the eunuchs are powerful, they are forced to get together. The Yuan family is known as the fourth and third dukes, but if there is no eunuch constraint, I am afraid that those families may not be willing to bow down to his Yuan family. ”

"Shi Jun, the Yuan family is not the Yang family."

He folded the bamboo slip in his hand and put it to the side.

"But as for whether this is the case or not, the Yuan family doesn't say anything, then only God knows."

……………………

In Yangqiu Fuzhong, a lobbying campaign was going on at this time.

The person who was lobbied was Si Li's lieutenant Yangqiu, and the person who lobbied was one of today's middle attendants, Cheng Huang.

Cheng Huang's righteous daughter is Yangqiu's little wife, and he has taken care of Yangqiu over the years, otherwise Yangqiu can't find a way even if he wants to grovel to Wang Fu and others.

"Wenzheng, stop it, now that Wang Fu's father and son are dead, you can be regarded as doing your best. Cao Jie and the others are not something you can deal with. What's more, you are not ignorant of the rumors in the market now. Cheng Huang spoke bitterly.

is also a regular servant, and he naturally knows the power of Cao Jie and others best.

This time, Yang Qiu was able to kill Wang Fu so smoothly, although he Yang Qiu had some ability, but it was His Majesty who lost trust in this person, and Zhang Rang and others had always had a dislike for Wang Fu, and they didn't save him when they saw death, which made Yang Qiu pick up the cheap.

It's just that this kind of thing can never be done again.

Now the rumors in the market are quite widespread, but I am afraid that Cao Jie and others have also set their sights on Yangqiu.

If Yang Qiu doesn't stop in time, he will definitely be implicated as a father-in-law in the future.

Yang Qiu smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry. Even if they want to deal with it, they are only dealing with the ball alone, and they will definitely not let them be involved in Yuezhang. ”

"If you don't listen to me today, you will regret it later." Cheng Huang saw that he was persuaded not to move, so he had to get up and leave.

Yang Qiu stood up and rejuvenated his muscles.

How he did not know the intentions of those who spread rumors.

It's just that now he has come to this point, and he has to send it.

……………………

On this day, Emperor Shun Yu was buried, hundreds of officials traveled, and the regular servants all returned with him.

Cao Jie went first, passed by the Xia City Gate, and saw that Wang Fu's body was still hanging above the city gate, and no one gathered it.

There were wild dogs chasing them and barking wildly.

He paused and waited for Zhang Rang, who was slowing down behind him, to let Zhao Zhong and the others come forward.

"Have you ever heard that rumor?" Cao Jie sighed.

"Naturally, I heard about it." Zhang Rang said hatefully, "It is said that he has been successful in Yangqiu, but he actually looks down on us eunuchs." This person was just a dog under Wang Fu in the past. ”

Cao Jie smiled, "No matter what happened in the past, now he can get rid of Wang Fu is also his ability." Regardless of whether the rumors in the market are true or not, now that this person is not removed, you and I are only afraid that we will not be able to sleep well. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to Wang Fu's corpse not far away, "A good jackal is still there, don't ask the fox." Although we are not harmonious, we can fight with each other, how can we cheapen a wild dog like Yangqiu? We'll join forces against this guy first. As for the affairs between us, in the final analysis, it is all our own business, and each depends on his ability. I wonder what you're going to do?"

Zhang asked the few people to be silent for a moment, and finally responded.

Cao Jie rubbed his cheeks, and after a while, he burst into tears, "You and I are in the palace together, and look at what Your Majesty says." ”

Several people led by Cao Jie entered the palace together.

………………

In the West Garden, Emperor Ling was still lamenting the wealth of Wang Fu's family.

If he had known that he was greedy for so much money, how could he tolerate him to live to this day?

At this time, a group of regular attendants entered from outside, led by Cao Jie, followed by Zhang Rang and others.

Liu Hong was also stunned when he saw this.

Cao Jie and the Ten Standing Servants have always been not on good terms, and among the Ten Standing Attendants, they are constantly fighting.

Naturally, there is his deliberate arrangement in this, so that it is in line with his heavenly means and checks and balances.

It was beyond his expectation that these people would be gathered together today.

However, he only thought about it for a while, and he understood that most of these people were for Wang Fu's business, or for Yangqiu's business.

Emperor Ling smiled: "It's really rare for you to wait so neatly. Could it be that something big has happened?"

"Your Majesty is tired of slaves and maids? Or did they listen to the slander of those scholars and wanted the lives of slaves and maids? The slave and maid are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that Your Majesty will be deceived by the courtiers. Cao Jie cried and kowtowed, "Although the ministers are greedy for ink from time to time, they are also doing their best for His Majesty's affairs." ”

Behind him, Zhang Rang and others were also general moves.

The Spirit Emperor, who was originally seated, stood up and frowned, "What do you mean by waiting?" If I want your lives, I only need to send three or two jailers. Why bother. ”

Cao Jie wiped the tears on his face, and saw the dagger, "Your Majesty, if it is not the suspicion of the ministers, now it is rumored that the captain of the school is going to deal with the ministers." ”

"The ministers know that this person is His Majesty's confidant, and they don't want His Majesty to be embarrassed, so they are willing to resign and return to their hometowns, and ask Your Majesty to allow him to wait for our last years."

Liu Hong was silent when he heard this, stared at everyone for a long time, and then said with a smile: "You want to force Gong Zhenye?" I can't use a yang ball, how can I get in the way of your business?"

"The slave and maid don't dare, but after this person gains power, he will definitely be used by the scholars, and the slave and the maid and others have always had a dislike with the scholars, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to save their lives. Please also ask Your Majesty to be gracious and let the ministers go. Cao Jie kept kowtowing.

Liu Hong was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let Yang Qiu be the guard captain, so what do you think?"

Cao Jie and the others wept: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The matter was over, and the ten permanent servants withdrew.

Liu Hong sat down slowly, quite irritable in his heart.

The confrontation between the eunuchs and the scholars under his painstaking management can't be broken like this, so he can only be sorry for Yangqiu.

Cao Jie did not delay when he got his order, and hurriedly sent someone to announce the decree, and he did not dare to stay for a moment.

lest the slightest hesitation will be approached by Yang Qiu.

In terms of wisdom and strategy, he is naturally not afraid of the yang ball, but what he is most afraid of is to punch the master to death.

Smart people are not difficult to deal with, and they are so reckless as Yangqiu.

Shi Yangqiu returned from outside, heard the will, and wanted to see the Spirit Emperor, but was blocked by Cao Jie outside the palace.

Cao Jie stood on the high steps in front of the hall, looked at the Yang ball under the steps, and said with a smile: "Yang Sili has not accepted the order, so if you want to resist the law, you can't do it!" When the day before yesterday, when the king arrested Wang Fu, he was full of law and discipline, and it seemed that you were the only one who respected the law and obeyed the law. And now! ”

Yang Qiu said angrily: "I want to see Your Majesty, Duan Gong Wang Fu is no more than a little fox ear, if you give me another month, you will make the jackal behead."

He stared at Cao Jie as he spoke.

Cao Jie has gone through two generations of kings, and he has seen a lot of scenes, but for some reason, now he is stared at by Yang Qiu, and he has a little chill in his back.

He snorted, "Si Liyang Qiu, don't accept the order yet!" I want to go against the will of the Son of Heaven! ”

Yang Qiu was silent for a long time, and finally bowed his head and said, "The minister accepts the order."

In the palace, the Spirit Emperor, who had been sitting in the hall, sighed and was silent.

The emperor has to make a trade-off after all.

……………………

Since then, the eunuchs in the palace have become more and more prosperous, and Cao Jie has received the Shangshu order, and many people who have grievances with him in the past years have been mutilated.

After Yang Qiu was transferred to the guard lieutenant, he seemed to be becoming more and more depressed, and gradually lost his voice, but in fact, he secretly contacted Liu Yi and Shaofu Chen Qiu, and wanted to plot eunuchs in secret.

Liu Yi was a clan member of the Han family, and he didn't want to participate in this matter, but he was persuaded by Yang Qiu and others with righteousness.

It's a pity that a few people are not secretive, and their plans are leaked by Yangqiu's little wife.

Cheng Huang sued Cao Jie and others with this.

So Cao Jie and others sent Yang Qiu and others to Yang Prison for the crime of intending to rebel.

And the cell where Yang Qiu is located is where Duan Cheng killed himself in the past.

Today is the second time Liu Bei has come to the cell, and twice before and after, both are to bid farewell to the deceased.

In the cell, Yang Qiu had been tortured a lot, and his prison robe was covered with blood stains.

He was leaning against the wall behind him, and he seemed to be dying, but now when he saw Liu Bei coming, he sat up strongly, and raised his hand to pull the long hair that was scattered and scattered on his face behind him.

"The way the ball looks like this now makes Xuande smile." Yang Qiu laughed.

Liu Bei sat opposite Yangqiu, put the wine between the two, and didn't know how to say for a while.

"Xuande doesn't need to worry about me, today's events, I have already realized since I killed Wang Fu on the same day. As Xuande said that day, it is difficult for the eagle dogs to have a good end. Yang Qiu's words were quite free.

"It's just that the only regret now is that I didn't kill Cao Jie and others, which is really a pity." Yang Qiu still sighed.

"You are not a stupid person, you should know something, no matter what, you can't kill Cao Jie and the others."

Liu Bei opened his mouth and said, "They are protected by the Son of Heaven, and Your Majesty will not tolerate you cutting off these wings that he has worked so hard to cultivate." ”

"And your opponent may not only be eunuchs."

His conjecture was the same as Jia Xu's, and he knew Yuan Shao better.

Yang Qiu smiled freely, "At this point, it doesn't matter who is behind the scenes. There are some things that you always have to try to know. It's a pity that I lose now, but if I win, who won't praise me for being a good man in the future. Now that you are at the table, you will lose when you gamble. ”

"Above history, above history, one or two want to be famous in history! But when a man dies, there is nothing left. Liu Bei sighed.

Duan Cheng is like this, and so is Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu smiled, "Maybe Xuande is right, but now I don't have a choice." When I asked Xuande for something, please don't forget Xuande. ”

Liu Bei nodded.

What Yang Qiu entrusted that day, and what he should do, was to keep Yang Qiu's family scroll.

Cao Jie and the others are not benevolent people, and they will not let go of this opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"It's bothering Xuande, so I won't talk nonsense about the grass ring in the next life. Although the Yuyang Yang clan is not a famous family, if Xuande is useful in the future, I can't say that they can still help a little. Yang Qiu smiled.

"Do you think I'm the power of the Yang family to help you!" Liu Bei said angrily.

Yang Qiu smiled and shook his head, "Naturally not, it's just that you, Liu Xuande, are a real benevolent and righteous person." Entrusting a wife and children, people like you are reassuring. ”

"I won't be wrong, and Duan Gong won't be wrong."

Yang Qiu drank all the wine Liu Bei brought, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and then waved his hand, "Have fun today, don't die in vain." I'm drunk and sleepy, Xuande can go. ”

Liu Bei stood up, walked outside the prison, turned his head to look back, and saw that Yang Qiu was already lying on the grass pile in the corner, leaning against the wall, making a slight snoring sound.

He stood for a moment, then turned to leave.

It was only after he turned to leave that Yang Qiu slowly sat up again, stretched out his palm, and then a few rays of sunlight shining in from the window.

The world is very good, but I am really a little reluctant.

……………………

Outside the prison, there are old people who have been waiting for a long time.

"Liu Jun has already seen Yang Ball? I don't know if I have ever felt compassion when I saw it so miserable?"

The person waiting outside the prison is none other than Shang Shuling Cao Jie.

"Cao Shangshu is proud of the spring breeze now, and he has been waiting for a long time, but it is the fault of the preparation." Liu Bei said with a smile after stopping.

"Liu Jun's courage is indeed not bad, do you think that I can't move you because of the name of the Han family? You must know that not long ago, a Han clan died. Cao Jie smiled.

The Han clan that Cao Jie refers to is naturally Liu Yi.

Although Cao Poshi died at the hands of Lu Bu and others that day, Cao Jie naturally had already noticed the truth about it, and he didn't trigger it before, just waiting for an opportunity.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and he is not a gentleman.

Liu Bei looked at Cao Jie and said with a smile: "The name of the Han clan is indeed not bad. It's just that even if you don't have this name, it's not difficult to think about it if you want the monk to make a fish to death. ”

Cao Jie looked at Liu Bei and frowned slightly, not knowing where he got his confidence.

It's just that Liu Bei has entered Luoyang since he entered Luoyang, and everything he has done is a little unbelievable. Therefore, even if he couldn't think of the key to it, he had to be on guard.

"Bei is just joking casually, and Shang Shuling doesn't need to take it to heart. After a while, he will write to ask for a foreign appointment, and then he will ask Shang Shuling to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty. Liu Bei said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Cao Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to be an enemy of this person in his heart, it was really unbelievable what this Liu family young tiger had done.

"I think this is also the last time Bei and Shang Shuling will meet, but I have a word to tell."

Liu Bei said with a smile, "Those who are self-made eagle dogs will inevitably end up with a miserable ending where all the birds are hidden." Yangqiu has his own consciousness, but he doesn't know if he has Shang Shuling?"

Cao Jie was stunned for a moment and was silent.

"If you want to follow the story of Cao Gong in the past, Shang Shuling still needs to be forgiving and forgiving, and kill them all, sometimes it may not be a one-time thing, but it will be a disaster for the future."

Cao Jie said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

"Prepare to send the Yangqiu family scroll back to Youzhou this time, and wish Shangshu Ling a few beautiful words."

Cao Jie did not respond immediately.

"Wangshang Shuling thinks about it carefully." Liu Bei didn't urge, turned around and walked away.

Whether Cao Jie should go down or not, in fact, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, even if he shouldn't go, Liu Bei has his own way.

………………

A few days later, Lu Zhi wrote to recommend Liu Bei as the minister of Beihai, and Taizhong Doctor Qiao Xuan attached him, and Cao Jie, Zhang Rang and others did not stop him.

Although Emperor Ling was unwilling to use Liu Bei at this time, he also responded because he had paid a lot of extra money.

As for Yangqiu's wife's return to the north, Emperor Ling felt guilty, but Cao Jie did not stop him and was able to make the trip.

………………

On the Wushi Mountain, Guan Yu and the others were packing their bags.

Liu Bei and Jia Xu, who went up the mountain for the first time, climbed to the top of the Wu Mountain.

Looking at it from afar, the world is high and wide, and you can see the sun in the distance.

Liu Bei spread out his hands, like an eagle falcon flapping its wings, and said with a smile: "Wenhe, the world is vast, let you and I soar."
