The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

The dark death cell where not even the wind can get in is filled with an atmosphere of gloomy despair. Only ten out of ten prisoners who enter the death cell survive, and this is even more so in recent years when the Ten Eunuchs have been in power.

The warden of the prison remembered that one day more than two hundred people were thrown into the prison, and they were all beheaded the next day. On that day of execution, the heads of people on the street piled up into a small mountain like a vegetable stall.

The eyes of the condemned prisoners who would not live for more than three days were dull. Even though Liu Zhaoqing was confronting an officer of the rank of captain of the lower army of the Eight Captains of the Western Garden of the imperial court, he did not attract their attention at all.

The condemned prisoner fell on the bumpy ground, his eyes blank as he let the rats crawl on his face.

The death row prisoners, who had long been tortured beyond human form, were like walking corpses, and execution was just a relief for them.

But, at this moment, with a shout of "The captain of the central army is here!"

The door on the earthen steps of the death cell was thrown open with a bang, and a gust of wind blew towards the torches and oil lamps on the uneven earthen walls.

A fresh breeze with the fragrance of green grass swept into the cell. The living wind made the dead prisoners move slightly. They raised their chins, subconsciously trying to accept the nourishment of this vitality.

But the next moment, the wind and the light of the lamp were blocked by a tall and slender shadow, and the leading figure walked through the cage that trapped their bodies and minds.

The figure walked steadily, neither angry nor happy. The light yellow official uniform he wore was extremely exquisite. There was a dazzling topaz on his waist under the brocade and jade clothes. The red stone on the sword at his waist slowly passed through the dark eyes of the death row prisoners.

Even without seeing his appearance, I could already feel his nobility.

What kind of woman is this? Why did she end up in this death row?

The death row and this woman are completely two different worlds, with two different styles.

One of the condemned prisoners raised his head slightly, saw the woman's face, and was stunned.

The woman's face was calm, but there was a fierce look in her eyes, and her red lips and sword-like brows exuded extreme confidence and arrogance.

Her long black hair fluttered in the breeze and passed through the sight of the death row prisoners.

The death row prisoner saw that the ends of her black hair had a hint of gold.

Gold has always been noble. Could this woman be a royal relative?

"Yuan Benchu."

When the woman stopped outside the cell behind him, Bao Hong turned around, looked at the woman who walked to the cell door, and called out her name.

Bao Hong slowly lowered his hand from the long sword, turned around, and looked at her calmly: "This is not the place for you."

Yuan Shao didn't look at him and ignored his words.

Instead, he glanced past Bao Hong and looked at Liu Zhaoqing who was standing there. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he nodded slightly, then smiled at the woman in white who came over and said, "Wen Ruo, are you relieved now?"

Bao Hong was ignored, and Liu Zhaoqing was actually ignored as well.

The only reason Yuan Shao could arrive was because of Xun Yu, who was still breathing lightly.

The Xun family of Yingchuan was a prominent family, and the Yuan family of Runan had three officials in four generations. In this era, people of equal status would have equal attitudes.

Even though Bao Hong was already a captain of the lower army, in Yuan Shao's eyes, he was nothing more than a eunuch's lackey.

As for Liu Zhaoqing, she had never heard of his name before today.

Today, when she was at home discussing the current situation in Luoyang with her uncle Yuan Wei, who was once one of the Three Dukes and the Grand Marshal and is now one of the Nine Ministers and the Grand Tutor, she suddenly heard Xun Yu coming.

As a hero who had long heard of Xun Yu's great talent, Yuan Shao went to greet him immediately. Then he saw Xun Yu, a descendant of a noble family who rarely asked for help from others, begging her for the first time to rescue someone from the prison.

This is why Yuan Shao was able to come.

"call……"

Xun Yu was relieved when he saw that Liu Zhaoqing had a bright look in his eyes and it looked like he had not yet suffered the horrific lynching.

He stretched his arms forward from his forehead to his chest, bent over and performed a standard bow to Yuan Shao: "I thank Captain Yuan for saving my friend's life."

Yuan Shao quickly stretched out his hand to lift him up, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo is being too polite. Considering my personal relationship with your sister Xun Chen, it is nothing for me to help you with this little favor. Not to mention that I have been suffering from not having the opportunity to get close to Wen Ruo."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Shao seemed to feel that he had offended someone a little, and he also cupped his hands and looked at Xun Yu and said, "What I mean is, if Wen Ruo can come with you... then I, Yuan Benchu, will save not only one Liu Zhaoqing, but ten Liu Zhaoqings."

Yuan Shao was a woman, and a beautiful woman about 1.8 meters tall with golden highlights at the ends of her hair.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't seem surprised, but rather speechless.

Because Yuan Benchu ​​actually dug out Xun Yu from this death row, in her eyes, it seemed that this matter was a sure thing.

"Captain Yuan, I think we should rescue Master Zhaoqing first before talking about other things." Xun Yu said respectfully with his head bowed.

Yuan Shao's family background is more prominent than Xun Yu's, but Xun Yu was so humble because he had something to ask of her.

After hearing Xun Yu's tactful reminder, Yuan Shao smiled and said frankly that he was too happy because he hadn't seen Xun Yu for a long time and was a little out of control.

At this time, Bao Hong, who was also ignored, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yuan Benchu, this is Luoyang Death Row. This is not a place for you and Miss Xun to chat. No one else is allowed to enter." Bao Hong said coldly to Yuan Shao.

"No one is allowed to enter?" Yuan Shao tilted his head slightly, and his sharp eyes narrowed slightly.

"Are you, Bao Hong, the 'person of interest'? As far as I know, this death row is not a place where a lieutenant should come, right?"

"Then what are you doing here, Captain?" Bao Hong snorted coldly, then turned back to look at Liu Zhaoqing: "Could it be that you want to go against the will of the emperor and rescue this prisoner without authorization?"

"Yuan Benchu, even if your family has three dukes for four generations and is quite famous in Luoyang, can you bear such a crime?!"

Bao Hong's final shout caused the dust around him to scatter everywhere.

Yuan Shao's clothes were rustling in the wind, and the golden ends of his long black hair fluttered like a rainbow.

But there was no fear on Yuan Shao's face, instead he smiled.

"Disobeying the Holy Lord? Are you saying that the eunuch Zhang Gong is equivalent to Your Majesty?"

Bao Hong's expression changed slightly, and he quickly distanced himself from the matter: "I didn't say that."

With these words, the momentum dropped.

Yuan Shao did not let him rest and continued to say to Bao Hong: "Let's not talk about the fact that you, a military lieutenant, came to the death row to carry out lynching. As the head of the imperial guards appointed by His Majesty, you obeyed the orders of a eunuch, exceeded your duties, and forcibly arrested civilians in the street!"

"What crime have you committed?!"

Yuan Shao's stern shout made Bao Hong take a small step back.

At this moment Liu Zhaoqing also opened his mouth. This seemed to be different from the Yuan Benchu ​​he had imagined.

However... speaking of Yuan Shao during this period, even in previous history, it seems that he was indeed a man who took pleasure in revenge and was a hot-blooded man.

"As a captain, you have repeatedly accepted bribes..." Yuan Shao said as he walked forward.

"You used the power granted by Your Majesty to seek personal gain and did not fulfill your duties. Over the years, you have embezzled a mountain of money and now you are colluding with eunuchs! Bao Hong! How can you continue to serve as a lieutenant in this army?!"

Bao Hong looked nervous and kept backing away step by step.

But he realized in an instant that Yuan Shao had no evidence at all, otherwise he would not be shouting here.

He immediately calmed down and said angrily, "Yuan Benchu, don't slander me!"

"Humph! You know whether I am insulting you or not." Yuan Shao stopped and said to Liu Zhaoqing, "Why are you still standing there? Leave with Wen Ruo."

After Yuan Shao's words, actions and confrontation, Xun Yu on the side also felt that the matter should be settled.

Zhang Gong's decision to detain Liu Zhaoqing was in itself a private punishment, but for a commoner like Liu Zhaoqing who had no background, this frame-up would be impossible for him to turn over. However, if Yuan Shao, who held an important position in the court and was originally hostile to the eunuchs, took action, it would be just a match for "professionalism".

Bao Hong did not need to ask the court about imprisoning Liu Zhaoqing, so Yuan Shao naturally did not need to rescue Liu Zhaoqing either.

However, just when Xun Yu and Yuan Shao felt that this case of another frame-up by the Ten Eunuchs had been finalized.

Bao Hong, who had lost all his momentum, suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

"Wait a minute!"

Yuan Shao frowned, "Bao Hong, do you think that as a fellow lieutenant, you can really fight against me?"

Bao Hong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Yuan Shao coldly.

"I can't, what about this one?"

After saying this, Bao Hong opened his palm, and a small and exquisite official seal made of topaz came into view.

Xun Yu's expression changed slightly: "This is..."

"This is the seal of the Supreme Army Captain Jian Shuo. The one holding this seal is the Supreme Army Captain in person. All the captains must obey his orders!"

Bao Hong looked at Yuan Shao and shouted, "Captain of the Central Army Yuan Shao!"

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy.

Chapter 4: Shake Luoyang, Bury the Eunuch Party K

If looks could hurt, then at this moment Bao Hong's body would be as if pierced by thousands of swords, with holes all over it.

But unfortunately, Yuan Shao did not have this ability. He was just an ordinary military hero. He did not have the gift of wisdom, and certainly did not have the ability to make his words come true and to control the world with his righteous spirit.

On the contrary, Bao Hong quite enjoyed Yuan Shao's gritting teeth, vicious and angry look at this moment.

Wasn't Yuan Benchu ​​quite impressive just now? Now that he has hit a real wall, do you feel the pain?

"What's the matter?" Bao Hong held the seal of the lieutenant of the upper army in his hand with a happy smile on his face. "Do you think my seal is fake? Do you want me to give it to you for your inspection? Then how about you call me Brother Bao? This is... your... sister?"

Her eyes flashed. Yuan Shao could not tolerate such humiliation and reached out to grab the sword.

"bass!"

With the sound of a sword, in an instant, a terrifying cold blade was placed on Bao Hong's neck.

Bao Hong was horrified, his eyes widened, and he quickly shouted: "Yuan Benchu! You! How dare you hurt me?! If His Majesty knew that you killed the Xiyuan Captain without authorization! Your position will be dismissed! The reputation of my family and even the Yuan family will be tarnished by you!"

At this time, Xun Yu immediately reached out and pressed on Yuan Shao's sword-holding arm: "Benchu...don't be impulsive!"

Of course Xun Yu, a scholar, could not hold Yuan Shao's arm. As long as Yuan Shao wanted, if he moved his arm two fingers down a little more, Bao Hong's neck would be stained with blood.

Liu Zhaoqing over there also frowned at this time. The royal sister version of Yuan Shao in front of him was not decisive but resourceful at least at this stage. He was quick to repay and enmity, and his character was quite good.

However, if Yuan Shao really killed Bao Hong, he would feel relieved, but the crime of "killing a military captain" was something that even Yuan Shao, who came from a family of three generations of officials, could not bear. He might even be used by the Ten Eunuchs to impeach the emperor, which would immediately weaken the power of some court aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family.

If this sword were to strike, it would have extremely negative consequences for herself and the entire Luoyang situation.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao did not do so, and she slowly smiled.

"Hasn't this hurt Captain Bao? Captain Bao's courage is not even as good as that of a commoner."

Liu Zhaoqing, who was suddenly mentioned, moved his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yuan Shao also retracted his sword, looked at the frightened Bao Hong and asked calmly: "Now, Captain Bao, do you still want to recognize me as your 'sister'?"

Now he knew Yuan Shao's temper, and also understood how hot-blooded Yuan Shao was at his age.

The moment Bao Hong put away her sword, he knew that there was no need to provoke this mad dog wearing a gold chain. No matter how prestigious the Yuan family was, it could not compare to the Ten Attendants.

No matter how arrogant Yuan Shao is in front of him now, he will be just as miserable in front of him after the Ten Eunuchs have completely eliminated dissidents in the court.

Zhang Gong also once said to Bao Hong, "A lack of patience will ruin great plans."

At this time, Bao Hong also restrained his domineering demeanor, adjusted his light armor, snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Lieutenant Yuan Shao of the Central Army."

He held the official seal of the military commander Jian Shuo, but this time he did not act arrogantly, because he had figured out that the purpose of his coming here was not to compete with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was slow to respond.

"Captain of the Central Army Yuan Shao." Bao Hong called Yuan Shao again, this time with his voice raised a notch.

Xun Yu on the other side signaled to Yuan Shao with his eyes that there was no need to disobey orders on such matters.

Yuan Shao bowed slightly, lowered his head and clasped his hands, and said calmly: "I am here."

Seeing Yuan Shao compromise, Bao Hong revealed a look of contempt, but when he saw the sword at Yuan Shao's waist, he immediately retracted the look.

"It was Lord Jian's idea to come to the prison this time, and Lord Jian has already reported the matter of this treasonous thief to Your Majesty. Lord Jian is a fair-minded person, so he specially sent me to investigate whether this person has been wronged." Bao Hong said lightly.

"Do you have anything to say now, Captain Yuan?"

Yuan Shao fell silent.

"If you have nothing to say, please leave and don't delay my investigation if you really want to save him." Bao Hong said.

This is of course not credible. What "investigating the injustice" and "being an upright person"? How could Jian Shuo be such a person?

As the commander of the other six of the Eight Colonels of the Western Garden except Your Majesty, and the Grand Marshal of the Western Garden, Jian Shuo was also as trusted by the Emperor as the Ten Eunuchs and had enormous power.

Moreover, he has one thing in common with the Ten Attendants, that is, they are all eunuchs.

At this moment, the two were in the same hill, and Jian Shuo was the zeroth eunuch besides the Ten Eunuchs.

There is no doubt that Zhang Gong wrote Liu Zhaoqing's crime of treason in a document and handed it directly to Jian Shuo, who then presented it to the emperor. On one side was a favored eunuch, and on the other side was a commoner. It was needless to say who the emperor would choose to believe.

Yuan Shao stood up and looked at Liu Zhaoqing, a hint of regret in his heroic and beautiful eyes.
