Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 702 Burn it

Zhenjiabuzhuang is a three-entry mansion, located in the bustling West Market main road in Chang'an.The front piece is the business place of the cloth shop, the back one is the warehouse servant's residence, and the last one into the courtyard is the back house.This is the way rich merchants lived in the Han Dynasty, so the back house is where Zhen Mi lives.

Of course Liu Xie knew how much Zhen Mi spent to purchase this mansion, but he also knew that this girl, who was only 15 years old this year, had managed to balance the income and expenditure of this cloth village in less than half a year. surplus.It can be seen from this that Zhen Mi's business methods are not comparable to ordinary business men.

After all, this was the feudal patriarchal society of the Han Dynasty. A 15-year-old girl who can make such achievements is undoubtedly considered the pride of heaven.

However, Liu Xie, who is also a smart person, knew that this smart woman had done something not very smart.

She angered him!
Walking into the cloth house with anger, no one dared to stop him.Liu Xie's aura is far from that of ordinary dandies. After all, the dandies in the city cannot afford Zhao Yun, the five tiger generals, and Xu Huang, the five good men, to be thugs in the future.The aura of fighting between the two men's corpses in the sea of ​​blood is by no means comparable to the killing intent of an ordinary army.At this time, he accompanied Liu Xie to walk in, and immediately let the people in the cloth village scatter like birds and beasts.

On the way to the second entrance, some guards wanted to stop him.It's a pity that Xu Huang's stare frightened the nurses so that they didn't dare to act rashly.Someone who had been clever earlier ran into the back house, and apparently informed Zhen Mi to go.

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth were disdainful, he was naturally not afraid that Zhen Mi would be able to fly away: as early as he left, all the Jin Yiwei lurking around had already been dispatched.Zhenjiabuzhuang seems to be peaceful at this time, but once he makes a move, Liu Xie believes that it will inevitably be a bloodbath.

However, what Liu Xie did not expect was that as soon as he entered the third courtyard, a burst of Cong Cong's qin rhyme came to Liu Xie's ears with the wind. The waves of the water are in harmony with each other, like flowers falling on the water or wind dancing in front of bamboo, which makes people feel clear and calm.

Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, but unknowingly concentrated the murderous aura into his mind, and then walked involuntarily following the sound.

The sound of the piano became clearer, gradually clearer, and gradually brighter.The sound was like a brook winding down with fallen flowers, ding-dong-dong-dong along the stream stones, arousing countless crystal water drops.

Liu Xie, who often heard Cai Yan playing the qin in the palace, naturally recognized the artistic conception of the sound of the qin.Although he didn't know the title of the song, he also felt the soothing meaning in the piano.It seems that a gentle hand is opening a door in people's hearts.

Therefore, the disdain on the corner of Liu Xie's mouth deepened: If Zhen Mi was just pretending to be calm, then she would have overestimated her own charm and the bloodiness of politics.

Did she think that after doing such a thing, she, a big man, could still be unaware?Or is it still possible to be sympathetic to her?

it is ridiculous.

The row of incense tents in front is Zhen Mi's residence.

At this time, the sound of the piano in the incense tent stopped abruptly, and Zhen Mi looked back in astonishment, with a look of horror on her face.But at this time, Liu Xie only entered the account slightly, and there was a hint of appreciation on his face.

Liu Xie came here with murderous intentions, but Zhen Mi played such a soft tune, if she still doesn't cut off her voice at this time, it means that Zhen Mi's piano skills are only second-rate.At least, after Liu Xie came back from the battlefield, he met Cai Yan playing the qin. Before he was ten steps away from Cai Yan, Cai Yan felt something in his heart, and the strings of the qin broke and hurt his finger.

"The daughter of the people has met His Majesty." Zhen Mi also saw something from Liu Xie's gloomy face at this time.Although she tried her best to keep calm, but when she got up hurriedly, her skirt moved the end of the piano, which was a big failure.

Liu Xie was not too polite, and after sitting down, he said: "Slandering that I am not the son of the late emperor and shaking the hearts of the Han people, but what did you do?"

"Min, Minnv don't know what His Majesty is talking about." Zhen Mi's flustered expression made people feel even more suspicious.

But Liu Xie frowned, looking extremely disgusted: "Put away your weak and innocent face, you must know that I grew up in the palace since I was a child. I can be regarded as the method of women's struggle in the harem. What's more, when Empress Dowager Dong was talking to a little maid when I was four years old, she made people kill that little maid in front of me! Do you know why?"

When he said this, Liu Xie's tone was cold, and his eyes were full of regret for the past.Zhen Mi hurriedly raised her head to see Liu Xie's expression, and did not doubt Liu Xie's words at all: "Min, Minnv don't know..."

"Because the Queen Mother told me that the more beautiful a woman is, the more powerful the enemy of a man is. On the battlefield, I can be ruthless with iron and blood, and there is a sea of ​​blood between my hands, but my daughter is like water, weeping innocently between gentle and soft, but I can Let Bailian steel turn into soft fingers. Therefore, in order to prevent me from being troubled by women, Empress Dowager Dong told me about women's methods since childhood!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhen Mi's delicate body trembled suddenly, as if she had been completely overwhelmed by Liu Xie's aura.But out of instinct, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty said that the civilian girl is guilty, at least there should be evidence..."

As soon as these words were uttered, in Liu Xie's ears, it was no less than Zhen Mi's self-confession: "Evidence? I never came out of the central palace at noon, and I haven't heard such despicable rumors. I can walk within a hundred steps of your cloth village." , then someone dares to point fingers at me."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie seemed a little impatient, and suddenly leaned forward, and a pair of telescopic eyes just caught Zhen Mi's eyes that hurriedly raised her head to investigate.Then, Liu Xie's tone became much slower and deeper: "What's more, do you think the Tian Family needs any evidence to act?"

"The Tian family's actions are just a need. As for the process and evidence, they are not necessary." Liu Xie frightened Zhen Mi away, and regained control of the conversation: "What I need now is Yuan Shao or something. It's time to send troops!"

This question is what Liu Xie is most concerned about here.No matter what, now that he is here, no matter what happens to Zhen Mi in the end, the source of the rumors will be cut off.But as Liu Xie said, this is a political conspiracy, and it is not enough to just cut off the source of the rumors.The reason why Yuan Shao took such painstaking efforts to attack Liu Xie's prestige was to be famous when he dispatched troops!
Yes, as soon as this rumor spread, Liu Xie could not declare war on Yuan Shao.Because that would make people in the world think that Liu Xie was desperate and wanted to destroy the evidence, but at this time Yuan Shao had already taken the initiative in the war, and he could definitely send troops to Guanzhong in the name of "supporting the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty"!
Moreover, he will definitely launch the most powerful blow suddenly when the rumors are rampant and when Liu Xie is at its worst.Let Liu Xie know that he has fallen into this poisonous trick, and he can only swallow ice and fire and swallow knives. There is no way to do it, and he is completely passive!
Therefore, at this moment, Liu Xie must know Yuan Shao's specific preparations for sending troops, so as not to let things really deteriorate to that extent.

And at this moment, under Liu Xie's ruthless coercion, Zhen Mi seemed to have collapsed.Showing the hesitation and helplessness of a 15-year-old girl, she burst into tears and cried: "Your Majesty, this was all conspired by Yuan Shao, Dong Bai instructed the Minnv to do it... The Minnv clan are all hostages in Yecheng, if the Minnv If you don't do this, the Zhen family will disappear in smoke. The women of the people have admired His Majesty for a long time, and they would never dare to help the evildoers, but..."

"Shut up!" Liu Xie twitched his eyebrows, obviously extremely angry: "This is the end, what I want is not a reason, but whether you have value! If you know Yuan Jun's movements, maybe I can save your life. If you..."

"Minnv knows, knows." Zhen Mi leaned forward, as if she wanted to grab Liu Xie's robe to find some sense of security, but she didn't dare, she just said quickly: "Yuan Shao's request to Minnv is Spread this rumor to the entire Guanzhong before May. And let the women of the people use the influence of sitting and talking to spread this rumor to the ears of important officials in the court. Based on this calculation, the beginning of May should be the time for Yuan Shao to launch a large-scale army .”

"Well, you can still see this point?" After hearing Zhen Mi's well-founded words, Liu Xie's expression suddenly became very strange.He leisurely looked at Zhen Mi who was on the ground with a frightened face, as if he was inspecting an extremely interesting object.After a long time, Liu Xie put his hand down from his neck, and said to Zhen Mi in a charming tone: "Then, have you heard of the term double agent?"

"Double-faced? Spy?" Zhen Mi stared at a pair of confused eyes, and then saw Liu Xie's meaningful smile.

What happened after that, the entire Zhenjiabu Village didn't know, and even Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and other cronies didn't know.The only thing they knew was that Liu Xie led Zhen Mi into a room, and when there were two sticks of incense, Liu Xie came out with a refreshed face.

At this time, Xu Huang was gossiping with Leng Shouguang: "Your Majesty was in the deep palace, did Empress Dowager Dong really teach His Majesty that way?"

Leng Shouguang looked puzzled, he naturally knew about the intrigue in the harem in the deep palace, and he also knew how vicious those women were during the Ling Emperor's time.Otherwise, Liu Xie's biological mother would not have been so frightened to have an abortion.But how dare he speak to foreign ministers like Xu Huang about such things, so he could only evade: "At that time, the minister had not yet entered the palace, so he didn't know..."

At this time, Liu Xie just appeared in front of these people. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "I made this up to scare little girls, do you believe it? Hahaha..."

At the same time, when Liu Xie walked out of Zhenjiabuzhuang, two maidservants returned to the house holding the piano.Just as she was about to comfort Zhen Mi, she saw that although Zhen Mi was crying, the corners of her brows were faintly smug.Her delicate and alluring body stands in this room, but she looks like a female strategist who has succeeded in resourcefulness.

"Little Miss, this Qin?..." A maidservant was bolder, and wanted to test if Zhen Mi had been frightened.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Mi's mind was very clear and calm. After hearing this sentence, she glanced at the qin and replied casually: "I asked the qin master to tighten the palace strings before, but unexpectedly it is still so hard to break. This kind of The waste piano... burn it."
