Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 172 Liu Bei's Anger

When Yuan Xi stopped killing people, wouldn't he offend Zhang Nan and Liu Bei's gang?

If you disagree, what if Yuan Xi really wanted to kill someone?

"You can say whatever you want," Yuan Xi smiled, "Only you and I know about this matter, and no one else will know about it."

Liu Xie sighed inwardly, and said softly: "If it's my way of thinking, just pick it up heavily and put it down gently."

Yuan Xi nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That Zhang Erlang oppressed the women without scruple, and Mi Fang even knew that he broke the law. If he just forgives him like this, will the people have any idea?"

Liu Xie hesitated, and then said after a long while: "I didn't think much about it, but I thought that Zhang Erlang was the son of General Zhang, and Mi Fang was Liu Bei's younger uncle. Killing these two may not be good for Yuxia."

Yuan Xi sighed for a long time. In the eyes of these people, these actions are naturally wrong, but they are beyond reproach.

"I've written down your thoughts, and I'll think about it when I go back."

Yuan Xi stood up, "I'll go back now."

Liu Xie wanted to get up and send him off respectfully, but was suppressed by Yuan Xi.

Looking at Yuan Xi's back, Liu Xie only felt a chill behind him.

I felt uneasy for a while.

Yuan Xi returned to the General's Mansion and called Jia Xu over.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Go to the palace and check to see if anyone is disrespectful to His Majesty. Check carefully."

Seeing Yuan Xi's serious expression, Jia Xu's heart tightened, and he thought, who could offend His Majesty?

He responded and was about to leave when Yuan Xi stopped him again.

"Starting from his usual daily investigation, those eunuchs and maids have to investigate carefully."

"only!"

After Jia Xu left, Yuan Xi casually glanced at the official documents, then put them aside and went into the inner room.

After a while, Ma Yunlu and Lu Qiling walked in.

Yuan Xi was lying on the bed, and the two sat on one side, rubbing Yuan Xi's shoulders and pinching his waist.

Yuan Xi closed his eyes and hummed comfortably.

"Husband, eldest sister said that there are fewer sisters in the mansion, and I hope you will take more concubines."

Lu Qiling suddenly said something.

Yuan Xi glanced at her and said with a smile: "With you waiting in front of me, who else can catch my eye?"

Lu Qiling's cheeks were flushed, and she said softly: "I'm average in appearance, there are many women with big men who are better looking than me."

"What's the use of being good-looking," Yuan Xi lazily said, "To be my woman, appearance is only the most basic requirement. The most important thing is that you must have a good personality, and you must not have other messy thoughts."

Ma Yunlu blushed slightly, and muttered: "I don't have any messy thoughts."

"When did I tell you?" Yuan Xi looked back at Ma Yunlu.

I don't know if it's because of being together, but the two who were quite young before are now full of charm.

The childishness has already receded completely.

"But I have a bad personality."

Ma Yunlu continued to mutter in a low voice, but she was beaten by Yuan Xi because of her personality.

Because of her sensitive mind, when Yuan Xi said it just now, she thought she was referring to her, so after Yuan Xi said two points, she hurriedly refuted the second point.

Yuan Xi rolled his eyes, feeling very satisfied.

Now that the world as a whole is flat, he also lives a good life leaning against the red and nestling in the green.

Still very satisfied with the situation.

Speaking of which, it's not that he didn't plan to bring some women into the inner house.

Bi is like Sun Shangxiang, Bi is like the three sisters of the Cao family, even Bian Linglong, and a step trainer.
Except for the personalities of Sun Shangxiang and Cao Jie, which made him unhappy, everyone else was good.

But he also has a big problem now, and he can't find the reason why he can't give birth to a child.

Are you anxious together after marrying those women?

For women in this era, he knew very well that if they couldn't bear children, they would definitely feel very anxious.

It seems that having children is their greatest mission.

You are young now, and you are not in a hurry, so you don't intend to bring those women who belong to him outside into the mansion.

"It wasn't good before, but it's okay now."

Among the girls, Ma Yunlu's personality is indeed the worst.

Lu Qiling also said: "Yes, I think my sister has a pretty good personality."

Ma Yunlu knew about his own affairs, so he changed the subject and said, "Which girl is your husband interested in?"

Yuan Xi pointed to the shoulder blade, "Put some strength here."

Lu Qiling kneaded quickly.

"Is there anyone you want to introduce?" Yuan Xi asked back.

Ma Yunlu giggled, "I haven't been out much, so I don't know anyone. Besides, as a husband, I just need to tickle my fingers when I see someone, and I don't need an introduction."

Lu Lingqi's little head flicked, obviously agreeing with Ma Yunlu's statement.

Yuan Xi laughed out loud, feeling more relaxed.

As long as your status reaches a certain level, the women around you will not prevent you from marrying a woman, but will help you find a woman.

If an ordinary man is Ma Yunlu's husband, and if that man is half-hearted, Yuan Xi can even think about his fate.

"Women's affairs, don't worry," Yuan Xi said lazily with his eyes closed, "When I become emperor in the future, and the world chooses concubines, there are so many women, and I don't care about taking one or two now."

"When will my husband become emperor?"

Ma Yunlu's heart moved, Yuan Xi became the emperor, and she never dared to think about being an empress.

It must be Zhen Jiang.

But with her status, she must have the title of noble person no matter what.

She usually has nothing to do in the back house. Although she doesn't know much about these things, she has heard and seen, and knows that the queen and her subordinates are nobles.

In addition, under the nobles, there are three classes: beauties, palace ladies, and maids.

Hegong people, concubines and concubines, etc.

Presumably, most of the concubines selected from below were mixed and matched at the bottom.

Now, if anyone entered Yuan Xi's house early, Yuan Xi would become the emperor in the future, and the bestowal would not be lowered.

"Let's talk about it later."

It's not like no one else in the mansion has asked her, Yuan Xi mostly evaded it perfunctorily.

At present, he doesn't think it's good to be an emperor.

Now there is a puppet emperor above, helping him to go to court every day, if he doesn't go there, no one will say anything about him.

Yuan Xi doesn't want to give up on these immortal days.

Of course, the greatest peace of mind comes from Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and other capable ministers and generals.

With this group of loyal people around, Yuan Xi can sit back and relax as long as he doesn't make mistakes.

After rubbing his back for a while, Yuan Xi relaxed, "Come on, take a rest."

Yecheng, inside the largest prison cell.

Liu Bei and Mi Fang walked in unhurriedly under the leadership of the warden.

"I haven't seen my second and third brothers for a long time, and I don't know if they are still okay."

Mi Zhu sighed lightly: "Yun Chang and Yi De were sent out to put down the rebellion. I think they will be fine with their martial arts."

Liu Bei nodded, "Now that we are in the orthodox army and have superior military strength, I am not worried about the safety of the two of them, but I don't know when we will meet again after this trip."

Mi Zhu remained silent, he knew what Liu Bei was thinking.

From the perspective of outsiders, Zhao Yun was directly transferred to the palace as the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sent to counter the rebellion, and Xu Shu was also sent to Zhuge Liang as his deputy.

The capable people around Liu Bei were almost wiped out.

It seems that Yuan Xi was worried about Liu Bei and wary of him.

But Mi Zhu didn't think so.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei set off for the expedition, they were directly awarded the title of General of the Five Tigers by Yuan Xi, which was considered a great honor.

He didn't take any precautions against the fact that the two were Liu Bei's subordinates, or even Liu Bei was their sworn brother.

Zhao Yun is even more loyal to Liu Bei and uses him equally.

The military adviser Xu Shu was promoted and reused together with Zhuge Liang, and now he is flourishing in the court.

For Liu Bei, let him be the prefect of Yecheng.

This kind of official position with real power.

Otherwise, Mi Fang would not be the chancellor of Dali Temple, let alone oppress the common people unscrupulously.

All these signs show that Yuan Xi is actually at ease with Liu Bei.

Otherwise it would definitely not be so reusable.

But Liu Bei doesn't seem to think so, he lives very carefully.

I was afraid that Yuan Xi would go wrong, so I killed him.

This mentality even rose to the case against Mi Fang this time.

Considering Liu Bei's current status, his current reaction is actually a bit extreme.

This made him a little worried, because Mi Fang's affairs can be big or small.

But Liu Bei acted like I must get him out, if Yuan Xi was angered by this.

Mi Fang is in danger!

From Mi Zhu's point of view, Liu Bei's meaning was also very simple. He seemed to be testing Yuan Xi to what extent he would tolerate him.

This is more or less desperate, but Mi Zhu can't persuade him.

Originally, the rescue matter was nothing, but Liu Bei made a big fanfare, as if he was afraid that Yuan Xi would not know about it. This behavior is a bit weird
In the cell, the further you go in, the more unpleasant the smell becomes.

The warden led the two of them to the outside of a cell, nodded to Liu Bei and Mi Zhu, and left.

"Big brother."

Hearing footsteps, Mi Fang raised her head, her expression changed slightly, she got up from the ground, and rushed towards the cell door, "Brother-in-law, big brother, are you here to save me?"

"You can't go out for the time being, we just came to see you." Mi Zhu replied.

Mi Fang was disappointed, and murmured: "You go to the general, but he won't let me go?"

"See for yourself what good deeds you have done?" Mi Zhu snorted, "How did I teach you? Don't ask for merit, but only for faults. Take a look at what you have done?"

"I don't know either," Mi Fang was dissatisfied when she heard her elder brother criticizing herself, and she dared to contradict her too much, but said slightly dissatisfied, "That Zhang Erlang is Zhang Nan's son, I wanted to have his identity, General Even if you know, you won’t make things difficult for me.”

Liu Bei stood silently for a while, and then said: "Do you know how the general will deal with Zhang Erlang?"

"How to deal with it?"

Mi Zhu interjected, "Death penalty!"

"What?" Mi Fang's eyes widened, his heart tightened, he stammered, "How come? Zhang Erlang is Zhang Nan's only son, and Zhang Nan is..."

"Zhang Nan was also arrested." Mi Zhu said again.

Mi Fang only felt her knees go limp, and immediately knelt on the ground. He tightly held the wooden bar of the prison door with both hands, "So, so, I, I'm finished?"

"Cheer up!" Liu Bei snapped, "Look at what you've become now."

"Brother-in-law, I don't want to die, please help me, please."

Mi Fang's defenses were broken. He always thought that Liu Bei would try his best to help him, but now that Zhang Nan and Zhang Erlang were both arrested, he felt that with Liu Bei's energy, he would never be able to save himself.

"Brother-in-law, you know so many people, go and ask them to help me, I don't want to die yet."

Mi Fang stood up, staring at Liu Bei with red eyes.

Looking at Mi Fang's distressed appearance, Mi Zhu couldn't speak his words of reprimand.

He glanced at Liu Bei who was expressionless, and sighed: "We have done what we have to do, and now we are practicing everyone to save Zhang's father and son."

"What are you doing to save them? Save me."

"Confused!" Mi Zhu was furious, "Whether Zhang Erlang is a capital offender or not is unknown. If his sentence is commuted, you will have a chance to live. If he is sentenced to death, you can die with him."

"Brother-in-law, you must help me."

Mi Fang didn't go to see Mi Zhu, the eldest brother was always strict, he knew that talking to him would be fruitless.

"Understood, you behave well inside." Liu Bei said lightly, "I will do for you what should be done. As for the result, I can only resign myself to fate."

Mi Fang hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Liu Bei non-stop.

"Remember, if the general summons you here, you must confess your guilt, repent of your mistakes, and don't say any nonsense to justify yourself."

"I see, brother-in-law." Mi Fang nodded heavily.

"Ah."

Liu Bei responded, turned and left.

Mi Zhu opened his mouth, and finally sighed, "Be more thoughtful when doing things in the future."

"I see, I'll wait for your good news." Mi Fang was completely relieved at this moment, and listening to her elder brother's tone, it didn't seem that serious.

There is a turning point in this matter.

In the next few days, more and more people pleaded for Zhang Nan and his son, hoping that Yuan Xi would pardon Zhang Nan's crime of disrespect and save Zhang Erlang from the death penalty.

Except for a few people who mentioned Mi Fang, not many people mentioned it.

In Liu Bei's residence, Mi Zhu smiled and said, "It seems that the general should be shaken now."

"That's right," Liu Bei said happily. He didn't expect so many people to intercede for Zhang Nan and his son as long as he played a little trick. Fang's death penalty can be avoided."

The two were discussing the final details when the steward of the mansion rushed in, "Patriarch, there is news."

Mi Zhu stood up abruptly, and asked, "What's the news?"

Avoiding Mi Zhu's burning eyes, the steward said in a low voice, "Zhang Erlang was sentenced to death."

"

Mi Zhu staggered, and the steward hurriedly grabbed him, "Then, what about my second brother?"

The steward let go of Mi Zhu, lowered his head and remained silent.

Mi Zhu closed his eyes, tears streaming down his line.

"boom!"

Liu Bei slammed his fist on the table, his chest heaved violently.

Mi Zhu took a deep breath, and said sadly: "Brother-in-law, it seems that the general is not targeting us, it should be Zhang Erlang and my second brother who violated his taboo."

"The world is peaceful now, so what are those things?" Liu Bei panted heavily, "No one died, and no important person was offended, so why don't you let Zifang go?"

Mi Zhu wiped away tears, "Zhang Erlang is gone."
