Chapter 67 Taking Power

Liu Pan, wearing a high crown and long sleeves, walked out of the main hall without hesitation, followed by Huan Jie. His bearded cheeks and calm demeanor formed a sharp contrast with the angry Liu Pan.

Liu Pan paused, turned around and glared at Huan Jie, and reprimanded him: "Bo Xu, as a county facing the right, you are in charge of the county court, and you are the prime minister of the government. You know that the Qu clan has caused chaos in the countryside and harmed the city. Among them, Qu Xiong is the most important, the people of Changsha have suffered for a long time, why don't you help me get rid of this thief?"

Huan Jie couldn't help showing a wry smile, although Liu Yuanlong is usually gentle and elegant, with a style of celebrity and grace, but once he gets angry, no matter what prefect or meritorious person you are, you often make people unable to get down.However, the two had a very good personal relationship, so he wouldn't be angry about it.

Liu Pan is relentless towards Ou Xiong, and insists on executing him, but he is not just for the public good, he is mixed with personal feelings.

As the prime minister of the prefect Zhang Xian, Huan Jie should get rid of his personal feelings, and he should not act with anger, and he must look at the problem from a higher perspective.

Since Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, he eliminated clan thieves and established rebellion, killed Sun Jian and expelled Yuan Shu outside, and then recruited talents, appeased refugees, and recuperated. In just a few years, his strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. The basis for unifying Jingzhou.

Zhang Xian used to be an official in Lingling and Guiyang counties for a long time. Liu Biao ruled the river.

Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou, the legitimate lord of Jingzhou. He hates Zhang Xian deeply and wants to get rid of him quickly. Therefore, Liu Biao's next military direction must be Jingnan.

Since the old master Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao, it was doomed that Huanjie and Liu Biao were in a natural hostile relationship and could not be resolved. Huanjie's interests were exactly the same as Zhang Xian's.

If Zhang Xian wanted to fight against Liu Biao, he could not rely on the imperial clan like the Liu clan in Longqiu, but the military noble clan like the Ou clan and Wu clan.

Killing Ou Xiong will definitely make the Ou family boil. Not only is it an act of self-destruction, but it also has the danger of triggering a rebellion.

How many years have passed since when Ou Xing raised his arms and had over ten thousand followers?

In the end, Ou Xing lost to Sun Jian, the famous general of the time, and was defeated and died. However, the wound he left for Changsha has not yet fully healed.

Once the Ou family changed, causing Changsha to fall into civil war, how could Liu Biao in Xiangyang miss such a rare opportunity?At that time, the troops will be sent south as soon as possible to unify Jingzhou.

Therefore, even if Zhang Xian wanted to kill Ou Xiong under Liu's pressure, Huan Jie would come forward to stop him.

Huan Jie said: "Uncle Qu Yuan will move to Baqiu. If he is not pardoned, he will not be allowed to return to Linxiang for life. Isn't this punishment enough?" If Liu Jing was not involved, how could Qu Xiong be punished like this? Heavy sentence.

Liu Pan snorted coldly and said: "Uncle Qu Yuan moved to Baqiu to serve his sentence? He didn't join the army as a member of the army. What kind of punishment is this? If he really intends to punish him, he will be punished and punished. Rule the city and cultivate the crops."

Huan Jie shook his head with a wry smile, doing this was tantamount to deliberate humiliation, it might as well kill him.

The chief bookkeeper Wu Ju, the central governor Li Yong, and the left thief Cao Jijiu all stayed in the hall chatting and did not come out for a long time, obviously because they did not want to suffer "indiscriminate disasters".

In the past, the results were not afraid of Liu Pan, and the two often clashed, almost like fire and water.But after meeting Liu Jing today, I realized that it was too timely to "return" the [-] money, and decided to avoid disputes with Liu Pan as much as possible from now on.

Seeing that Huan Jie was speechless, Liu Pan glanced at the hall again and walked away.

…………

After Liu Jing arranged Xie Liang, he returned to the city building and reported the situation to Huang Qiu.

Huang Qiu had already received the report from the city official, so he sat in the cell with a calm expression, as if he was not the one who was terrified to come out of the cell.

Even if he had heard it once, Huang Qiu was still very shocked after listening to Liu Jingxu. He couldn't understand why Liu Jing had only been in the market for more than [-] days, so how could he make the market return?

Huang Qiu calmed down, and said to Liu Jing: "Zhong Da, Xie Liang has returned home due to injury, and the market cannot do without you even more. From now on, you will handle all the big and small matters in the market."

"Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and I dare not obey." Liu Jing readily accepted the order.

Ou Xiong was not a soft-hearted person, Xie Liang had been whipped dozens of times, but he was extremely lucky not to be beaten to death, and it was difficult to recover within a month or two.

During this period, Huang Qiu will ignore the mundane affairs, and Liu Jing will be the only manager of the building.He has saved Xie Liang's life, even if the latter returns from injury, nothing will change.

The power of a city is fully in hand.

It took only [-] days before and after, which was much earlier than I expected. If we proceeded step by step, it might take a few months. Now, with the incident of "Qu Xiong whipping Xie Liang", the time has been greatly saved.

After taking power, it is not just as simple as enshrining grace and prestige, many things can be unfolded.

After leaving the room, Du Xi and Zhuge Liang bid farewell to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing didn't invite the two of them to the banquet. Today's banquet was filled with rangers, thieves, Jingman and the like. It would be difficult for the two of them to share a drink with them.

Zhuge Liang and Du Xi left in a car together, and they had made an appointment to go fishing in the Xiangjiang River.Liu Yu also likes fishing, so maybe I will meet him by chance.

Liu Jing was very envious of the soothing and leisurely lifestyle of the two of them. Unfortunately, since he became an official, such days no longer belong to him. Now that he has boarded a ship off the shore, naturally he can't follow the trend, but strives to be the best.

Liu Jing shook his head and rushed to the largest wine shop in the city.

Liu Jing hosted a banquet in person, and almost no one refused. Five or sixty people were eloquent, occupying almost the entire back of the restaurant.

Although all the food and drinks were ready, but Liu Jing didn't come, everyone was unwilling to move first.

Liu Jing didn't arrive until two quarters of an hour later. Seeing that the banquet had not yet started, he deliberately blamed Zhou Wei: "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"

Zhou Wei immediately called out to Qu and said, "The villain has already explained to the guests more than once, but you don't listen, you have to wait for Liu Jun to arrive."

Liu Jing didn't really blame Zhou Wei, he took a glass of wine from the latter, went in and out of each room one by one, had a face-to-face meeting with everyone, and finally returned to the main room.

Sitting in the main room were Cai Sheng, Zhu A, Yi Cheng and others. It didn't take long for Ma Zhou to sew up the wound again and hurried over.

He is a man who loves drinking, and nothing else matters, except for drinking, not to mention that the injury does not affect his actions, even the impact will come.

It was completely different from the quiet atmosphere of the banquet held by Du Xi, Huan Yi, Liu Yu, and Zhuge Liang. The people sitting today were either free-spirited people, or barbarians who didn’t follow etiquette. After a few rounds of wine, everyone raised their glasses and shouted to each other. Or beat the food table, or sing loudly, the banquet is in chaos.
