"Ten thousand taels is my limit. Military lords, please do it for your convenience."
"My wife cannot know about my visit to a brothel."
"Please."
Liu Mao was sweating profusely and kept begging Zhang Ge and the others.
Now, he is as happy as he was when he was playing with two brothel girls.
This man has always billed himself as a "gentleman", but now that he comes to Fangxiang Pavilion to play with girls, if this matter becomes public, it will not only become a joke, but even his wife Wu Rui will not be able to forgive him.
Snapped!
Zhang Ge raised his hand and slapped Liu Mao into the mouth.
"Liu Hao, this captain found out that you are a stick. Now that your life is about to die, you are still worried about your reputation? Besides, didn't you feel great holding those two little ladies just now? Now you know that you Have a family? You trash..."
"Master, I can't bear to see a bastard like you."
"What the hell?"
"Your wife is really blind."
After that, I didn’t get used to him either.
A group of people came to Liu Mao's house, opened the courtyard door, rushed in, and headed towards the main room of the house.
"Come here, search for me. Don't let Liu Hao's women escape."
After a search, no one was found.
"Lord Captain, no one was found."
A soldier came over to report.
"What? No one? What happened? Someone ran away?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ge drew his knife and came to the two maids. He raised his hand and chopped one of them to death. After that, he said viciously: "Where is your wife?"
"Jun, Junye, madam, she didn't come back tonight. She went to Yuan Mansion as a guest in the afternoon, and it seems she stayed overnight."
The maidservant spoke tremblingly.
"What? Yuan Mansion? That Yuan Mansion?"
Zhang Ge asked nervously after hearing this.
"Yes, it is the residence of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei."
The maid whispered.
"What? Why did your wife stay at the Yuan Mansion? You'd better recruit her from the ground, otherwise, I will kill you."
Zhang Ge asked.
"My wife and Mrs. Yang, the wife of Young Master Yuan Yi of Yuan Mansion, are close friends. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We just stayed in Yuan Mansion tonight."
The maid told the key.
"Okay, let's close the team and take these two guys back."
Hearing this, Zhang Ge had a plan in his mind. He didn't dare to check the Yuan Mansion, but he just happened to be able to report the situation to his master, who would make a decision.
As for the two brothers of the Liu family, they were also taken to the Yuan Mansion.
However, as soon as they arrived at Yuan Mansion, they heard from the companions in charge of the security that Yuan Ke had just gone to bed, and as for the meeting with Yuan Ke, they had to wait until dawn.
Zhang Ge had no choice but to lock the Liu brothers in the courtyard and arrange for personnel to strictly monitor them. As for the other brothers, they went to rest in batches.
It's late at night and everyone is exhausted.
.......
A speechless night!
The next day, it was early in the morning.
Yuan Ke changed into clothes.
As soon as he went out, he found the two Liu brothers in the courtyard, naked and shivering in the wind.
Fortunately, it was early spring at this time, otherwise, they would have frozen to death without clothing for one night.
"Somebody come!"
He called out.
"My lord!"
Hearing this, about thirty soldiers came in immediately from outside. They all had bowls in their hands and were having breakfast.
"Okay, you guys eat first."
"who are they?"
Ye Chen asked.
"My lord, these are the Liu brothers. When Zhang Ge led people to escort them back last night, my lord, you fell asleep, so you locked them up in this place."
A subordinate explained to Yuan Ke.
"Okay, let's eat first."
"Give them both something to eat too. They are still useful. Don't freeze to death."
"By the way, let Zhang Ge come see me."
After Yuan Ke finished speaking, he came to Yuan Wei's main house and greeted Yuan Wei.
"Good morning, Grandpa Second."
As soon as he came in, he found Yuan Wei having breakfast with two aunts and a rather unfamiliar woman.
"Ke'er, come on, sit down, I just asked someone to prepare breakfast for you."
"You have liked this tofu cake since you were a child, so I specially asked someone to make it for you."
Yuan Wei said with a smile.
There is no court meeting today, there is nothing important, and there is no rush to go to the Chancery to handle government affairs.
"Okay, Second Grandpa!"
Yuan Ke said.
Before and after he approached, he saluted the two aunts.
"Hello, aunt!"
He is a descendant of the Yuan family in Runan, and etiquette is a must-learn subject when he was young.
"Yuan Ke, come here, my aunt asked someone to make you pancakes. Come and see how they taste."
Yuan Yi's wife, Yang, gave Yuan Ke a fried cake.
Yuan Ke grew up in Yuan Kai's house since he was a child, and he was quite familiar with his two aunts.
The Yang family is from the Hongnong Yang family.
As for Yuan Zhang's wife, Mrs. Liu, she is also the noble daughter of a prince, and it seems that her father is also a prince.
Everything is placed there because of the status of the Yuan family in Runan.
The Yuan family of Runan, the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, are also very famous in history. However, because Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were defeated in the struggle for supremacy in troubled times, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes will also have a place for the Runan Yuan family.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Yuan Ke said.
He had just sat down, but he started to stare at the unfamiliar woman in front of him.
He said in his heart, this girl is a member of that family, she is really beautiful.
"Ke'er, please don't be rude. This is your aunt's best friend, Wu Rui. Now, she is the daughter-in-law of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan."
"According to etiquette, you should call her, aunt."
Yuan Wei noticed that Yuan Ke was staring at Wu Rui constantly. He thought that Yuan Ke was attracted by Wu Rui's beauty, so he couldn't help but reveal Wu Rui's identity, hoping to stop Yuan Ke's thoughts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Yuan Ke was immediately dumbfounded.
"What? He is Liu Mao's wife?"
In history, Liu Mao died early, and his wife Wu later married Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Wu became queen.
Historical name: Queen Mu.
"Ke'er, do you know Liu Hao?"
Yuan Wei asked.
"Second Grandpa, Changshui Captain Liu Fan has betrayed the emperor's favor and supported his own troops. He has no intention of serving the imperial court, but he is secretly planning to assassinate His Majesty. As far as I know, I raised troops to destroy the Liu Mansion last night."
"Now Liu Fan, the leader of the thieves, has been executed. Liu Hao and Liu Dan have also been captured by me. They are tied up in my yard and are waiting to be handed over to your Majesty for judgment."
Yuan Ke did not hide anything and immediately told Yuan Wei about the annihilation of the Liu family.
"What? Liu Fan rebelled? You, you led the troops to destroy Liu Fan and the Liu Mansion?"
"Ke'er, you, you are too reckless."
"Liu Fan is a member of the royal family, and your Majesty's order is needed to deal with them."
"Do you have His Majesty's edict?"
When Yuan Wei heard this, his expression changed drastically.
"Second Grandpa, as the Grand Sima, Ke'er controls the world's troops. Now, if someone plots rebellion, I should kill him first and then report him."
"Not only has Liu Fan been killed, I have also mobilized troops to destroy Liu Fan's thousands of soldiers and horses."
"My subordinates found the dragon robe that Liu Fan had made in advance in the barracks."
"Liu Fan's rebellion is irrefutable."
Yuan Ke was prepared before killing him. As for the dragon robe, he had someone find one in the palace, which happened to be about the same figure as Liu Fan.
With this dragon robe around, it is an ironclad case that Liu Fan conspires to rebel.
"What? Dragon robe? Ke'er, did you really find the dragon robe? This is no joke, do you understand?"
Yuan Wei put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and asked carefully.
"The matter about the dragon robe is absolutely true, and I still have witnesses."
"This witness is a member of Liu Fan's army. The other party overheard Liu Fan talking to his subordinates, saying that the late emperor was a waste, causing chaos in the world and ruining the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Now, he wants to imitate the ancestor Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and raise an army to seize the throne. Revitalize the Han Dynasty."
"Not only that, this person also said that Liu Fan secretly instigated the impeachment of Pang An by Wu Shi, in order to suppress our Yuan family. He wanted to cut off my right and left arms, and then lead his army into Chang'an. , kill all my Yuan clan."
"How can Ke'er endure such wolfish ambitions?"
"If Second Grandpa feels that Ke'er has done something wrong, then punish me."
"I'm willing to be punished."
As Yuan Ke said this, he knelt down on one knee and admitted his mistake to Yuan Wei.
"Yuan Ke, don't talk nonsense? That's not the case at all. You are making all kinds of accusations to destroy my Liu family, isn't it just to attack Yizhou? You are so despicable and vicious."
A loud shout interrupted Yuan Ke's self-directed and self-acted "bitter meat scheme".
