Jin Wangfu:

A carriage slowly came to the back door, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and whispered something to the two samurai guarding the door.

The samurai seemed to be a little suspicious, and planned to open the curtain to take a look, but he did not pay attention, and was blocked by the coachman with the long whip in his hand.

"It's okay if the general doesn't believe the villain, just don't get close to the car, and wait for Lord Shen Pei to come back and explain to the general." The coachman said.

The samurai hesitated and took a few steps back.

Not long after, another car came down the street not far away.

The person who got out of the car was the inner chamberlain who was sent by Sima Yan to monitor Yu Jiao and Qi Zhen.

"Why, you haven't entered the mansion for so long?" As soon as the chamberlain saw the car, he immediately shouted loudly.

The coachman was reliant, and immediately came over and pointed to the two samurai guarding the door, signaling that they were not allowed to enter.

The face of the chamberlain was ugly.

A samurai approached.

"Lord Shen Pei, the villain has not received the king's orders, and you are so rash to enter the mansion with a car, which is really embarrassing for the villain. If Lord Shen Pei can enter the mansion first and ask for a handwritten message from the king, the villain will be released immediately. The samurai said.

The chamberlain known as Shen Pei was in a hurry, pointed at the warrior with his hand, and said, "This is the person ordered by the king himself, you wait to stop it, but you don't want to live." ”

The samurai didn't care, he just smiled coldly and said, "Since it's the person who was ordered by the king Chitose, why don't you enter through the main gate and sneak around the back?" ”

"This ......" Shen Pei didn't seem to have thought of a word yet, and was stunned for a while.

The samurai seized the opportunity.

"The responsibility of the villain is to protect the safety of the palace, if they all take people in and out at will like Lord Shen Pei, what else do you want me to do here? According to General Ben's opinion, the people that Lord Shen Pei wants to send into the mansion probably have nothing to do with King Chitose, right? Do you want General Ben to go into the palace and tell the king? ”

Shen Pei's face became like a dried eggplant.

"You, you guy, dare to doubt this official?"

The samurai sneered.

Shen Pei probably felt that there would be no result if he continued to entangle with the samurai, so he turned around and waved to the coachman and motioned for him to drive away.

The samurai rushed over and grabbed the long whip from the coachman's hand.

"Lord Shen Pei wants to leave now, but he is too contemptuous of General Ben. Today, General Ben is determined to show the true colors of the people in the car. He said and pushed hard.

Where was the opponent of the samurai, the coachman was pushed backwards and staggered a few steps, and almost fell.

The samurai took the opportunity to lift the curtain in front of the carport.

A woman's screams could be heard from inside the car.

Shen Pei was even more anxious, and he rushed over to pull the samurai away, but was grabbed by the collar by another samurai and pulled back.

The samurai probe glanced into the car.

The woman in the car held her shoulders with her hands, her head bowed, and she looked panicked.

The warrior looked at it carefully, suddenly smiled, lowered the curtain gently, and turned his head to look at Shen Pei.

"It turns out that Lord Shen Pei still has such a hobby, and he likes other people's concubines? It's just that if there is such a thing in the future, Hugh will use the king Chitose to intimidate the villain, and the villain needs to be prevented from going to the king to inform. ”

Shen Pei's trick was exposed, and his face became even more bloodless.

Fortunately, the samurai saw that the people in the car were not in danger, so he no longer embarrassed him, and motioned for the coachman to enter.

The car entered the house.

Bypassing the many houses in front of me, the car went straight to the back row of courtyards.

Here lived the families of several officials in the palace.

These women are half-masters and half-slaves, and they are rarely seen in ordinary times, and only when there is a big event in the palace and the family is not enough, will there be a housekeeper and other figures to come and ask them to help.

It is said that a long time ago, when a huge sacrifice was held in the palace, all the women here were called to help, and the wife of one of the chamberlains accidentally knocked off the hairpin on his head while helping Sima Zhao change his clothes, and the hairpin happened to knock over a pot of fragrant tea that had just been brewed on the table. Sima Zhao was angry about this and wanted this woman to be a slave for life.

This woman later became Sima Zhao's personal "maid".

Not long after, the inner chamberlain was also killed by Sima Zhao who found an opportunity.

Probably for this reason, many chamberlains no longer leave their families in the mansion, but go outside to find another place to live.

The original Yu Lang was one of them.

This Lord Shen Pei is not yet young, so naturally he has been living in the mansion.

In fact, the person pulling in the car was none other than Han Xiu's wife who was left behind by Yu Lang.

After Yu Lang's death, the people in his family were almost scattered, only this Mrs. Han had nowhere to go, and was left alone in the empty courtyard, and this Lord Shen Pei had long coveted the beauty of Mrs. Han, so he thought about taking her to the Jin Palace, and then finding another place to settle down in the future.

This is the scene where Shen Pei and the samurai argued.

Mrs. Han stepped out of the car tremblingly, her head bowed but she didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Pei waved his hand and sent the coachman away.

"Madame only manages the power and lives here, and the villain will find a clean place for Madame in the future." Shen Pei walked over with a face and whispered.

Mrs. Han nodded slightly.

As a woman who has been pulled back from the brink of death, she no longer has the right and ability to decide her own fate.

After a long time, Shen Pei came out of the house, and he still had to report to Sima Yan about the Shu people who were being monitored.

Sima Yan was still in his study, meditating with a few bamboo slips.

Hao Yi hurriedly walked in from outside.

"The king is so eager to summon the villain, but what's the big deal?"

Sima Yan handed the bamboo slip to Hao Yi's hand.

"Uncle, please see, this is a reply sent by the envoy of Jingzhou Lu Kang."

"This guy really went back to the book?" Hao Yi said in surprise and spread out the bamboo slips piece by piece.

This was indeed written by Lu Kang.

Some time ago, Sima Yan wrote a secret letter to Lu Kang according to Hao Yi's words, telling him that he was willing to bring Fancheng under the jurisdiction of Lu Kang, and promised that he could become the lord of Jingzhou and that he would never violate the border. However, the premise is that if he wants to raise troops to recruit Sun Liang in Jiangdong, he will make people lead troops to support him.

Lu Kang's reply was full of promises, but he also mentioned a premise: that is, let Fan Cheng out first.

"This guy, how dare you bargain with this king?" Sima Yan said.

Hao Yi put down the bamboo slip and thought about it.

"What does the king mean?"

"Fancheng is the foundation of my future invasion of Jiangdong, how can I let go easily? If this guy doesn't enter Jiangdong after taking my Fancheng, what should I do? Sima Yan said.

"The king is very worried." Hao Yi said, "I am afraid that Lu Kang is only taking my Fancheng, but his heart is still only towards Jiangdong." ”

"This plan is offered by my uncle, how should I deal with it at this time?" Sima Yan asked.

"Don't worry, let the villain think about it."

Sima Yan didn't wait for Hao Yi to finish speaking, he was already a little impatient, and said, "This king intends to immediately send people to lead troops to Fancheng, and ask Fancheng defender Pang Ji to take the initiative to attack, first take Jingzhou, and then map Jiangdong." ”

Hao Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "Pang Ji is definitely not an opponent of land resistance, and the king must not raise troops easily." ”
