Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 144 Only Children Make Choices, Adults Want All

The curling river wind blows slowly from outside the window.

In the boudoir of Wenxiang Pavilion, there are sometimes melodious and melodious piano sounds coming from the lobby. Liu Yuduan is sitting on a wooden stool, and Wenpin is standing by his side.

The one in front of him is Xiao Xiyu, a brothel girl.

To Xiao Xiyu's surprise, she accepted such a large piece of horseshoe gold. There were two men in the room, but it seemed... the young man in front of him had no interest in her at all.

Not only did she not need to undress her, and she didn't need to serve her gently and slowly, but also poured a cup of tea for her, and the question she asked...was actually another woman.

"So, for Huang Zhong, who is highly valued by the masters of the Deng family in Xinye City, Huo Yu is the only girl who comes to Wenxiang Pavilion to order, and one order is ten years old."

Liu Yu's words blurted out slowly.

"Yes..." Xiao Xiyu said politely: "It is said that the master of the Deng family in Xinye City valued him a lot, but in fact...he is just a housekeeper, not a famous son, but... this Huang Zhong is really interesting Well, a sister told me that it seems that every time he came, he didn't come here to have sex with Huo Yu, so he just sat on the wooden stool and left when the time was up."

Ah…

From Xiao Xiyu's words, Liu Yu subconsciously felt that this Huang Zhong is an infatuated species!

The picture is too spicy, it's unimaginable...

Liu Yu continued to ask, "You just said that since Huang Zhong is a person highly valued by the Deng family master, and he is so in love with this woman, then...why didn't the Deng family master redeem this woman for him? It won't cost much, right? ?”

No wonder Liu Yu asked such a sentence...

Just now he had such a piece of horseshoe gold, let alone two together, even if he redeemed the brothel girl and bought her, it would not be a big problem.

Similarly, according to what Xiao Xiyu said, Huo Yu is already a half-year-old Tu Niang, nearly thirty...

Such a woman is not expensive, right?

This kind of small money is a drop in the bucket for the master of the Deng family.

What's more, Huang Zhong is such a powerful thug, this investment is worthwhile no matter how you look at it.

Liu Yu just thought of this.

Xiao Xiyu's voice came out again, but she let out a sigh of "ah".

"What do you think our Wenxiang Pavilion is? This is an official kiln, and all the women here are slaves, and their parents have committed serious crimes... If there is no approval from the official, I will be a prostitute for the rest of my life, and I will never redeem myself." Chance."

Oh…

Liu Yu suddenly understood.

If it is a slave, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

For a family like the Deng family, spending money is one thing, but asking for help is another.

No matter how powerful Huang Zhong is, it is only a part that can be played, if his martial arts is not considered.

Such a series...it's not hard to find in today's world.

The master of the Deng family might give him a high look, but because of him, he took the initiative to ask the prefect of Xiangyang County, that is another story.

Not worth it!

and many more…

Liu Yu narrowed her eyes, as if she had heard a key message.

"What happened to Huo Yu's family?"

"I said that the young master spends so much gold and doesn't let the slave family serve him, but keeps asking other girls, so why bother asking the slave family? Huo Yu will be in trouble if he directly asks him?"

It seemed that Xiao Xiyu was a little angry.

Thinking about it, it is true that such a handsome and handsome son, rich and generous, always mentions other women, and anyone will be angry.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Yu coughed lightly, but he didn't reply, but took out another "Horseshoe Gold" from his bosom, and then asked with a smile.

"Can I answer now?"

actually…

Liu Yu had a hundred ways to ask Xiao Xiyu about Huo Yu.

But... no need.

Why use that brain, just spend money on it.

Although it is said that the "prostitutes" of these official kilns cannot redeem themselves, gold can still make their lives better and buy more expensive spices and cloth.

This kind of place where there are only women... the competition is even more serious.

"My grandfather is really accurate."

Xiao Xiyu put away the horseshoe gold with a smile, "This is Huo Yu's family... It was originally a famous family..."

It turned out that this Huo Yu was a branch of the Huo family.

Just like Wei Qing's father, when he was a "little official" of Marquis of Pingyang, had an affair with Marquis Wei, Marquis of Pingyang's concubine on a dark and stormy night, and gave birth to Wei Qing;
The rise of the Huo family is also due to the fact that Huo Qubing's father, Huo Zhongru, had a secret relationship with Wei Shaoer, a member of the Wei family, when he was a "little official" and gave birth to Huo Qubing!

And Huo Zhongru ran away when he saw that the trouble was getting serious. The key is to sow seeds while running...

Then another one was born—the famous Huo Guang.

Huo Yu is from Huo Guang's lineage, but her generation is already a side branch of the side branch.

Later, because of a human life lawsuit, it seemed that Huo Yu's father accidentally killed the official servant, which implicated the entire Huo family. Except for Huo Yu's father who was beheaded, the rest of the men were exiled to the border, and the women were sent to various official kilns as servants. Slaves and prostitutes.

"I see."

Liu Yu nodded with interest.

Official prostitute, another official servant was killed at home...

It's really hard to do this.

People are not easy to redeem!
"Young Master wants to hear, the slave family has told them, and the slave family also has stories, do you want to hear, master?" Seeing Liu Yu's eyes flickering, Xiao Xiyu opened her mouth again and again.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu waved her hand, "No way!"

After leaving these two words, he turned to look at Wenpin, "Brother Wen, let's go."

"Yes!"

Wenpin raised his eyes and forgot to take down Xiao Xiyu, he was inevitably somewhat disappointed.

Who would have thought that the little Xiyu he was thinking of was actually such a money-loving woman,

In fact, this is easy to understand, even in later generations, some people go to nightclubs to have fun at night, and they always like to have in-depth exchanges with nightclub girls to get to know each other.

In fact... the only thing women care about is your money, everything is just a joke.

Seriously lose.

Walk out of Wenxiang Pavilion and get into the carriage.

Liu Yu just opened his mouth: "Brother Wen, who is the governor of Jingzhou?"

Wenpin replied without hesitation: "Langya is from Linyi, and his name is Wang Rui."

Wang Rui?

When Liu Yu rolled her eyes, she immediately thought of information about him.

Wang Rui... the name is unfamiliar even to many keyboard historians in later generations, but his nephew is well-known to everyone. He is the Taibao Wang Xiang in the Jin Dynasty... the one who lay on the ice and begged for a carp.

And his family, the Langya Wang family... is also such a terrifying existence!

In the Jin Dynasty, there was a saying in the market - "The king and the horse share the world."

This means that the Langya Wang clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already able to match the power of the royal family headed by the Sima clan... From this we can see the power of this family.

According to historical records, Wang Rui finally died in the hands of Sun Jian, ten years later, in the sixth year of Zhongping, and his successor was Liu Biao, a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

There is still too little information about Wang Rui. It is only recorded that he had conflicts with Sun Jian because of his low background and rough behavior, and he often spoke contemptuously about him.

This is a common problem of wealthy families...

However, what is the most important thing for such a future "behemoth" family that is rising now?

Not talent!

It's...money!

Too many relationships and contacts need money to maintain. It is no exaggeration to say that money... must be very precious to the Langya Wang family in this period!

"Is Liu Junshou going to meet Wang Cishi? If so, the officer has met Wang Cishi once."

Wenpin opened his mouth and said.

Liu Yu waved her hand, "No, I don't need to see you!"

"Then... Governor Liu intends to."

"You go!"

"Me?" Wenpin was surprised...

Liu Yu was smiling. "Come here with your ear, I'll teach you how to talk to him!"

Uh…

Wenpin was startled, but stretched out his ears.

Liu Yu narrated some words eloquently.

Because it was in the carriage, the voice was extremely soft and thin, it was impossible for a third person to hear it, but... Wen Pin's eyes gradually opened.

The eyes that almost shot out, interpreted the great surprise.

Also... can it still be like this?

...

...

The sun shines on the nine ridges.

In the majestic Jingzhou Governor's Mansion with double eaves, Wen Pin sat in front of Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui. Wang Rui was reading with a book in his hand, and he closed the book after not long after finishing it.

Then he looked up at Wenpin.

"I heard that brother Wen was promoted from a county lieutenant to a county lieutenant. The difference is one word. This status is not the same."

Wang Rui finally spoke.

Wen Pin hurriedly replied: "It's not because of our new Nanyang Governor Liu, if you follow him, you will be promoted..."

"Haha." Wang Rui smiled while stroking his beard, "Is it because you got promoted and got rich? Our Jingzhou inspector saw you yesterday. You went to Wenxiang Pavilion with a young gentleman. Is there such a thing?"

"I..." Wenpin scratched his head...

A look of embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Wang Rui smiled.

"Who doesn't know that the newly promoted Liu Junshou is the person behind the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan. Those donkeys and horses, he has made a lot of money... It is an exaggeration to say that the country is rich, but it can be said that it is rich. It is more than enough to compete with our Jing Xiang. The young master who was in Wenxiang Pavilion yesterday must be him?"

"Exactly." Wenpin said truthfully, "I'm here today because of this."

Well…

Wang Rui rolled his eyes, "This Liujun is so young, he probably has a crush on some girl?"

"Who says it's not?" Wenpin said with emotion: "Liu Junshou reads a lot, and when he comes back, he talks about a fair lady, a gentleman is so good...I'm fascinated by the woman in Wenxiang Pavilion!"

"Which girl is in Wenxiang Pavilion?" Wang Rui became even more curious, and as he asked, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Huo Yu!" Wen Pin said without thinking.

"Her?" As if, as the governor of Jingzhou, he is very familiar with the women in Wenxiang Pavilion... "How old is Liu Junshou? How can you value such a half-year-old Tu Niang?"

In ancient times…

People's lifespan is often limited, and a woman will marry at fifteen, and at twenty-seven or eight, she can already be called a half-year-old mother-in-law.

"Inspector Wang...Everyone has their own preferences, so how can we be sure?"

Wenpin said with emotion.

Wang Rui noticed something, and he asked with a smile, "Wen Junwei is here for Liu Junshou... for this girl?"

"I don't want to hide it from the governor, it's true." Wen Pin looked a little ashamed. "It stands to reason that Governor Liu should have come to visit in person, but... this kind of thing, and it's because of a woman, it's hard not to be ashamed..."

"Haha..." Wang Rui laughed and said, "After all, Jun Liu is still young. People say, 'I know all the heroes in the world, and there is a Liu Lang in Yulin'. Who would have thought that this Yulin Liu Lang is also a suave young man."

Speaking of this, Wang Rui changed the topic.

"Does Governor Liu want to redeem someone?"

"Exactly!" Wenpin said truthfully, "I hope the governor Wang will accommodate you in this matter."

"Well... it's a bit difficult. This is an official kiln. The women in it are all official slaves, or their parents or family members committed a big crime and were involved in it. This Huo Yu... as the governor remembers, her father seemed to kill him. If you hire an official, this will open your mouth, and after that...who will listen to the official's words?"

Speaking of this, Wang Rui closed his mouth and glanced at Wenpin from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, all of a sudden...Wen Pin raised his eyebrows, looking very anxious.

Wang Rui hurriedly said: "However, since the governor of Liu Jun is an important person, there is nothing he can do. I remember... Jun Jun Liu has a tacit relationship with Dangchao Qiao Taiwei and Dangchao Cai Shilang. You might as well let Liu Jun take care of this matter." The county guard told them to send a letter from the elders, and the prefect will release them immediately, why do you need to run alone?"

Clan children often speak in secret.

Wang Rui proposed a compromise in name, asking Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong to send letters.

Actually...

Wang Rui wanted to take this opportunity to hook up with Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong, and sell the two of them a favor...

It is true that Yulin Liulang has been rumored to be miraculous, but in the final analysis, he is a sheriff.

To be an official, one has to look forward. Wang Rui is now the governor of Jingzhou. Looking forward, he will naturally become an official in the court and sell Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong a favor. This will be of great benefit to his future development!

only…

Wenpin does not follow the routine at all.

"Wang Inspector, let me tell you this. If Liu Junshou told Qiao Taiwei and Cai Shilang, how could Liu Junshou and Wang Inspector have a chance to get close? Nanyang and Jingzhou are so close, so we don't have to help each other in the future. Do you want to catch up?"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Wang Rui laughed all of a sudden.

How could he not hear it?
"My Governor's Mansion is Qingshui Yamen...Sometimes it's really difficult to be an official. Tell me what's going on. My dignified governor's annual salary is only [-] shi, which is as much as a county lieutenant. Hehe, Lieutenant Wen , I didn't mean to offend you!"

"Understood, understood." Wenpin said with a smile on his face: "Liu Junshou didn't mention this matter to Mr. Qiao and Mr. Cai at all. After all, it is not an honorable thing to come out of a brothel for a woman. Immediately let me look for the governor of the king, the relationship belongs to the relationship, and the official business belongs to the official business, how can Liu Junshou let the relationship disturb the official affairs of the king's governor?"

"Ha..." Wang Rui laughed, "It's better for the county magistrate to take care of it now, right?"

"Yes, yes..." Wenpin continued.

He was not good at words, but... this time, the task Liu Yu gave him was to bribe.

Regardless of the upper limit of bribery, Wenpin's forehead was covered with sweat.

As if, this is not what he is good at.

"Haha..." Wang Rui was so shrewd that he could see through the mystery at a glance.

He laughed out loud and leaned back. "Just now we talked about Taiwei Qiao, ah, it's true, just now... Taiwei Qiao sent an official document, saying that he wanted me to raise food to repair the Jinghe dam, I did a quick calculation, and it cost several million dollars! But Taiwei Qiao didn't think about it, Jingzhou is no better than Luoyang, where did we raise these millions of dollars in Jingzhou?"

"Wang Inspector..." Wen Pin hurriedly said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, our Liujun guard has a lot of money... Isn't it just a few million dollars? The money for the Jinghe dam, Liujun Keep it out, the achievement belongs to the governor!"

Huo…

Wang Rui was trying to test, but he never thought... Wen Pin agreed so readily, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Then... the governor can count on Liu Junshou."

"A small matter!"

"Alas..." Wang Rui sighed again, "Sometimes it's hard to be an official. Who doesn't envy the financial resources of Liu Junshou? Last year... Your Majesty asked us to select girls from Jingzhou. In order to select a hundred handsome ones, I am They paid money and worked hard, no... the governor's office still owes the Kuai family more than [-] yuan! Up to now, it still can't plug this hole!"

"How can this be done?" Wen Pin frowned, "How can the governor of a dignified state be so poor? If you tell me this, who will believe it! How about this, IOU...Give me the money from Governor Wang Pay it back for the Inspector Wang!"

Hey…

Wang Rui's pupils widened suddenly, and he deliberately waved his hands, "How can this be done?"

"Why can't this work?"

"No, no, our Langya Wang clan, although not rich, is poor and ambitious!" Wang Rui said intentionally... "I have never met Liu Junshou, how can I ask him for money again and again What? Is this... you don't even want your face?"

"Inspector Wang... This is your fault. In terms of officials... Liu Junshou is not as big as you, and in terms of territory, Liu Junshou is not as much in charge of you as you are. Except for money... he has nothing to help Wang Inspector. Come back to life for the second time!"

What Wenpin said...

Wang Rui's eyes were shining, "Haha, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. When you mention money, the taste will change, everything will change..."

"However, there is still a nephew at home, Wang Xiang... you know."

"In order to cure the stepmother, lying on the ice and begging for a carp, the heaven and the earth are moving, who wouldn't know?"

Wenpin quickly opened his mouth.

Wang Rui waved his hand, "Our Langya Wang family are all kind-hearted people, and we don't want to see others suffer. My nephew's stepmother is like this, and so is my biological mother. My biological mother doesn't like anything else... just like to listen to donkeys when it's okay. Calling, but now... how much is the price of the donkey? Can...our family afford it? I'm afraid this kind of filial piety...can't be done, and I always tell my mother, if we don't listen to the donkey, can't we do it? "

"No..."

This time it wasn't Wenpin who blurted out, it was directly changed to Liu Yu.

At this time, Liu Yu stepped in.

Wen Pin hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Wang Inspector, this is Liu Junshou..."

"Oh..." Wang Xiang quickly cupped his hands, and Liu Yu also cupped his hands, and the two bowed to each other...

Liu Yu was the first to speak, "Because a woman from a brothel came here to beg Governor Wang, it's somewhat embarrassing, but just now I heard Governor Wang say filial piety outside the door, I can't be indifferent to this."

"Wang Xiang got the name of "filial piety" by lying on the ice and begging for carp. Wang Cishi's mother wanted to hear the price of the donkey but couldn't get it. How could this work? Don't worry, Wang Cishi. The governor's mother can hear the donkey price every day? Is that good?"

hiss…

Wang Rui was taken aback, he didn't expect that the first time he saw this legendary "Yulin Liulang" would be like this.

but…

just like…

This Yulin Liulang surprised him, he was even richer than he had imagined.

Liu Yu's voice continued.

"Listen to the donkey braying. As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky, and donkey meat in the ground. Let's let Governor Wang's mother hear the donkey braying every day, and she will be happy. He will live forever? Isn't it beautiful?"

"I'm so sorry..." Wang Rui sighed again and again, thinking about how to continue speaking.

Liu Yu took the first step.

"The old lady will definitely think about repairing the ancestral tomb at this age, Wang Cishi... In this way, I, Liu Yu, will pay for the repair of the Langya Wang's ancestral tomb!"

"By the way, I just saw that there are only two horses left in the stables of the Governor's Mansion. What kind of business is this dignified Governor's Mansion? I will send someone to bring ten horses tomorrow!"

"Also, Wang Cishi has a son, right? There are rumors in the market that Wang Cishi's son owes more than two million yuan in gambling debts. If this spreads to other cities and counties, it will be ugly. Wang Cishi's face Isn't it all off? Just now I sent someone to pay off the gambling debt for him!"

Uh…

This time, it was Wang Rui who was confused.

This…

Everything he could think of, Liu Yu said it all, this... this is a bit embarrassing!

So... what else?

Wang Rui pouted, lost in thought.

At this moment, Liu Yu was smiling. "Wang Inspector... Think again, who else is in the family? There is nothing else in the county guard, and the poor only have money!"

Ah…

The poor only have money.

Wang Rui's eyes are straightened, the Langya Wang family... If they want to stand tall in this world, what they need most now is not connections, but money!

Just, thinking hard...

Wang Rui really couldn't think of it.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

He smiled and stood up, "The more you talk about it, the more shameful it becomes. It's like I'm greedy for money. I'm used to being poor... Besides, as an official, I have to be clean and honest. I can't let ordinary people poke our backs. !"

Speaking of this, Wang Rui turned around and met Liu Yu's gaze. "That's it... don't worry about money, twenty horses, I'll give you this man!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yu's eyes must have rolled. After the price of donkeys became popular, the price of horses dropped a little. Twenty horses cost about 30 million!
Even... For Liu Yu, others cannot buy horses, but he can...

With the Southern Huns as a good border trade partner, for Liu Yu, horses are as much as they want, and as cheap as they want!

Immediately…

Liu Yu clapped her hand on Wang Rui's.

"make a deal!"

Wang Rui's eyes lit up, he seemed to see a lot of money, which he would never earn in his life.

At this moment, Liu Yu spoke.

"Inspector Wang, I have one more word to say."

"Mr. Liu might as well speak up!"

"Although Governor Wang gave this woman to me, we can't break the rules, so Governor Wang might as well create an illusion that Miss Huo Yu fell into the water and died by drowning... After that..."

Well…

Wang Rui's eyes subconsciously narrowed, he pondered for a moment, and then raised his eyes... His tone was low.

"Prefect Liu, the governor has changed his mind. We don't need twenty horses, but five horses are enough."

"Why is this?" Liu Yu asked hastily.

"For the other fifteen horses, let the Langya Wang clan make you a friend of 'Yulin Liulang'."

This was an idea that subconsciously flashed in Wang Rui's mind.

He acts without thinking about it...

Because, he has a feeling that being a friend of "Yulin Liulang" is far better than 5 million dollars...

This transaction is bound to... be sure to make a profit!
...

...

Walk out of the gate of the governor's mansion.

Wenpin was sweating profusely, and it seemed that it was not an easy task for an honest person to pay bribes.

"Huh..." Wen Pin breathed out, and immediately opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Liu, five horses are worth several million dollars in today's market, and I still haven't figured it out. Is a woman in a brothel worth so much money?"

"Hahaha…"

Hearing this, Liu Yu smiled cheerfully: "A brothel woman is naturally not worth it, but if it is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, then with ten times the money, it is still a sure profit!"

"What's more, he also earned such a 'friend' from Langya Wang!"

That's right...

This time, Liu Yu not only wants to win the arena, but also wants...Huang Zhong, the Langya Wang family...that "the king and the horse share the world".

Only children do multiple choice questions.

My lord...all of them!
...

...

　The Langya Wang family is a very powerful family...

　　So here is a bit more colorful, please forgive me.
