Yuan Xi was a little surprised, "Don't Boyan usually advocate treating people leniently? Why is he so unmerciful this time?"
Lu Xun said: "It would be fine if these women were left to fend for themselves, but since the sworn brother wants to let the subordinate officials take care of them, he must do his duty."
"Now it seems that Yuan Gongli's harem habits are so bad that he kills people at will. If she becomes the concubine of a subordinate official, wouldn't it cause unrest in the family and turn good things into bad things?"
"Therefore, it is necessary to remove and cut off mustard moss disease in time when it is still in its infancy, so as to avoid causing trouble in the future."
Yuan Xi realized that he actually agreed with Lu Xun's approach. He found that whether he was dealing with war or women, he was beginning to be closer to the way of thinking of people of this era.
In his eyes, human life no longer seemed to be so sympathetic to him, but began to become a number that could be considered.
In his view, the women from noble families he met recently were no longer equals in love and romance, but objects that could be used and vented by each other, just like the attitude of the children of wealthy families towards women today.
His previous sympathy for the individual sufferings of the people has been diluted into the overall concept of responsibility for the people of the entire world. It is difficult for a single person to move him. After all, he has seen too many such tragic things, because he saved Not everyone.
Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is the determination to end the troubled times.
But now Yuan Xi no longer regards conquering the world as a responsibility and burden, but as an adjustment and game like getting a woman. This is also because. He discovered that the motives and purposes of the people involved were not as noble as he had imagined.
He calmed down and said to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, please confirm again, so as not to unjustly accuse someone."
"Leave all other matters to Boyan."
Lu Xun was a little surprised, "Brother, don't you interrogate them personally?"
Yuan Xi waved his hand, "No need, you are enough."
Lu Xun looked at Yuan Xi's leaving figure and thought that he was still a little too soft-hearted. Was he afraid that seeing the miserable situation of those women begging for mercy would make him soft-hearted and change his mind?
He said to his guards: "See if Mrs. Feng wakes up. If she does, let her identify the murderer."
On the carriage back, Lu Lingqi asked curiously: "Husband, you really know how to watch stars. Do you know that Mrs. Feng is in trouble tonight?"
Yuan Xi was too lazy to deny it, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, I just understand a little bit."
If you misunderstand, let it be misunderstood. Anyway, from the perspective of this era, the memory of future generations is indeed a prediction of the future.
However, Yuan Xi only remembered what happened to Feng inadvertently, because it was not until he saw Feng that he remembered that this woman should have been killed in the harem in history.
Moreover, because Yuan Shu was confused and thought that Feng committed suicide due to depression due to homesickness, he did not investigate the matter, which resulted in the matter being left unsolved.
So after Yuan Xi saw Feng, he was surprised why Feng was still alive. Later, he thought that history had changed, so Feng didn't have to die, right?
So he didn't pay too much attention at that time. He just asked the servants to take more precautions, but he didn't expect that those concubines would actually take action, so that Feng almost died.
Lu Lingqi's eyes rolled a few times, "When we were in Jicheng, I once asked my husband about stargazing with Sister Zhaoji. I heard that stargazing will shorten your life span?"
"Then the question is, why does my husband want to look at Mrs. Feng's horoscope even if he is trying to lose his life?"
"My husband's thoughts are quite obvious."
Yuan Xi sweated profusely. He didn't expect Lu Lingqi's thoughts to be so out of the blue. She suddenly thought of this!
So he could only cover up the truth of the matter in an embarrassing manner under Lu Lingqi's proud and mocking gaze.
Feng woke up from her bed and felt a sharp pain in her throat. She tried to open her mouth to speak, but what came out of her throat was an extremely hoarse sound.
At this time, the voice of an old man next to him sounded, "Madam, you are finally awake."
"It's just a throat injury. It will take ten and a half days to recover and it will be back to normal."
Ms. Feng reluctantly sat up and saw an old man with an immortal spirit writing with his back to her. She was still dizzy. When she looked up and saw the bright light, she couldn't help but said: "Who is this old man?"
Hua Tuo said: "I, Hua Tuo, are ziyuanhua."
"My wife was assassinated last night. Fortunately, she was discovered in time. I came over to perform acupuncture. It took most of the night and I finally revived my wife."
Only then did Feng remember what happened, and quickly went to the ground to salute and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life."
Her legs and feet went weak and she almost fell, and she quickly held on to the bed. Hua Tuo turned around and said, "Madam, you have been taking a good rest these days. I will prescribe some medicine. Once you take it, you will slowly regain your strength."
Just as Feng was about to speak, there was a knock on the door and it opened immediately. Lu Xun walked in and said to Hua Tuo: "I heard that Madam has woken up and is investigating the case on the orders of the Young Master. Sir, do you think Madam's body can support her? "
Hua Tuo pondered for a moment and said, "If we just say a few words, it should be fine."
After hearing this, Lu Xun asked someone to lift a bamboo chair and carried Feng to a big room and moved her behind a screen.
Lu Xun poked a small hole in the screen and said to Mrs. Feng: "When everyone comes in, Madam will identify them one by one without making a sound."
After a while, the soldiers escorted the six women in one after another. They stood facing the screen for a while and then led them out.
One of the women reacted quickly and immediately knelt down in front of the screen, kowtowing repeatedly, and was finally dragged out by the soldiers. When the last woman was taken out, Lu Xun said, "Madam, you have recognized it clearly, isn't it?" How many, are there any mistakes?"
Feng also understood what this was doing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Really, is this really necessary?"
"Can you spare them?"
Lu Xun listened and sneered: "Madam is really kind-hearted. Have they ever thought about sparing Madam?"
"And now this matter has nothing to do with the madam. By doing this, they are actually defying the envoy's order."
"Since they are given a way to survive and they don't choose, then they can only deal with them according to the law and punish them clearly. Otherwise, where is the authority of the emperor?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Feng was silent for a while, and then said softly: "It is indeed them, one is not more, and the other is less."
Lu Xun nodded. These women were caught on the spot. He was just making a final confirmation to avoid omissions. However, looking at the crazy way they were biting each other, it was unlikely that they were unjustly accused.
Two days later, the bodies of the six women were hung up in the square in the palace and exposed for three days, which greatly shocked the other concubines.
Yuan Xi never came to the palace again. He handed over all the chores to Lu Xun, and he and Jushu began to reorganize Shouchun's defenses, and at the same time repair the Huaishui dock to prepare for assisting Liu Bei's army in occupying Yuzhou in the next step.
As for the concubines given to Liu Guan, Zhang and others, the three of them did not refuse with hypocrisy, but came over and selected a few people to go over.
But what surprised Yuan Xi was that Zhang Fei actually ordered five in one go.
Seeing Yuan Xi's surprised look, a blush appeared on Zhang Fei's pot-bottom face, and he couldn't help but glare, "What, you can't bear to give it?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Nowhere, if Brother Yide wants it, there are fifty people."
"I just heard that Brother Yide just got married. Aren't you afraid that Madam will think too much?"
Xia Houyuan sent his niece here before, but Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei. The relationship between the two parties broke down instantly. Liu Bei's whereabouts were unknown. Naturally, Zhang Fei could not marry a girl from Xia Hou's family again, and even wanted to kill her to avenge Liu Bei. Fortunately, after Liu Bei came back, he said A war is a war, and since the two families are engaged, there is no reason to break the contract.
Zhang Fei said angrily: "We are all enemies, what else is there to agree on?"
Liu Bei advised: "Third brother, others are others, and we are us. If others eat shit, we can't eat it too."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei said with admiration: "Eldest brother made it clear, so I will marry her!"
So when Zhang Fei was in Ling County, he married Xiahou, and then followed him to attack Shouchun.
Yuan Xi had already learned about this matter from Liu Bei, so he had this question. Zhang Fei touched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "This makes you ignorant."
"My wife is young and fragile, and I'm afraid of hurting her, so I don't act smoothly."
"But only now did I, Lao Zhang, realize that women are really fun!"
"So I thought I'd wait until my wife gets older, and then I'll train with these women in the next few years!"
Yuan Xi was speechless and patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, "Brother Yide, please take it easy."
Seeing Zhang Fei happily leaving with the five women, Lu Lingqi sighed and said: "This person is so rude!"
Yuan Xi thought to himself that maybe some people like this tune. Besides, with Zhang Fei's ability, those women who follow her might have a pretty good life.
But it's the same for me. When I come to this world, there are too few things to entertain me.
In this era, the gentry's pleasure was nothing more than drinking and sex. If you don't drink, what else can you do besides lusting after women?
Do you believe that if you give me a mobile phone, I can quit sex?
As the days passed, as the city defenses in Shouchun were gradually repaired and strengthened, the defenses along the Huai River were re-arranged, and the officials and generals in the city were re-appointed, everything seemed to be gradually getting on the right track.
Most of the women in Yuan Shu's palace have been relocated, and many of the servants have been sent to Huaicheng by Yuan Xi. Among the Yuan family's children, except Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and others have been escorted to Yecheng, and those who left are Huai. The water is like the sea, and then the route north to Jizhou Port, if there is peace along the way, can be reached in more than a month.
Feng has been resting because her body has not recovered, so she has delayed her trip and has not set off yet. Yuan Xi does not pay attention to her. After all, at present, Feng has no use value. Even if she uses it as a threat, Yuan Shu will not He will not attack Shouchun because of his return.
Everything seemed to be going well, and the autumn wind was as cool as ever, but Yuan Xi always felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Because the north bank of Huai River is too quiet.
Not only did Cao's army never appear again, Yuan Tan also retreated to Donghai County.
In this era, information transmission is too slow. Without information and intelligence, it is impossible to predict what will happen, even the counselors under Yuan Xi's command.
So during this anxious waiting, news came from the north that was completely beyond Yuan Xi's expectation.
Cao Jun's army advanced towards Yecheng.
The Battle of Guandu broke out ahead of schedule!
