Chapter 42

Prefecture, study.

Liu Biao sits opposite to Yi Ji, who is in the process of putting Pang Tong on trial.

Finally, Yi Ji said: "in view of the people's request, Yi Ji Ma Yin's humble position only punished 100 gold. In fact, the reason for this punishment is that Pang Tong is a member of the Pang family and the son of Pang Ji. If the punishment is too heavy, it will affect the reputation of the Lord. "

Liu Biao said: "it's good to punish but not punish. It not only beat Pang Tong, but also made it impossible for outsiders to criticize him."

Yi Ji sighed: "my Lord didn't go to the scene. I don't know what happened at that time. In the face of countless people, as well as Ma Fang, xiugongzi maneuvered freely to ease Pang Tong's crisis. It's true that you have such ability. At that moment, I felt as if I saw the high spirited appearance of my lord when he first entered Jingzhou. "

"Ha ha ha..."

Liu Biao couldn't help laughing and his face was filled with complacency.

What Yi Ji said made him feel right.

Praise his son, also praise him, this is very good.

Liu Biao waved his hand and said modestly, "Uncle Ji, you think too much of Xiuer. I can't say that he made a mistake. He doesn't deserve such praise. "

Yi Ji said: "don't you believe in the eyesight of humble position?"

Liu Biao was even more happy and said, "I've known Ji Bo for decades. Naturally, I believe you. Xiuer handled the matter fairly well. At least, pound didn't show up, otherwise it would be really hard to clean up. "

Once things get big, Liu Biao will also have a headache.

The Pang family in Xiangyang looks low-key, but it is not easy to provoke.

Ma's family in Yicheng, far away from Xiangyang, is also a dragon crossing the river.

Once the two families really fight, it will have an impact on the stability of Jingzhou. Liu Xiuhua solved pangtong's crisis, which made the Ma family have to step back. This is the best ending.

……

Kuai family, study.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue sit opposite each other.

Kuai Liang's face was a little pale. He sat casually, his eyes were shining, and he said slowly, "how do you feel about the affair of Pang Tong, who was promoted by Yi Ji?"

In the past year, Kuai Liang helped Liu Biao to get a foothold in Jingzhou. Soon after that, he became seriously ill.

After that, Kuai Liang faded out of the officialdom and recuperated at home. All the people who appeared outside were Kuai Yue.

In the case of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue was in charge of the outside and Kuai Liang was in charge of the inside.

Kuai Yue pondered carefully and said: "brother, from the ability Liu Xiu showed, Liu Xiu is not only excellent in martial arts, but also resourceful."

"In the eyes of ordinary people, Ma was taken for embezzlement and bending the law, but this is obviously Liu Xiu's means."

"Kill Ma Yuan, and the Ma family will lose one arm."

"Then, with the help of Ma Yin's personality, he made the situation move at one stroke, and made more use of public opinion, so that Yi Ji would no longer punish Pang Tong severely. Such a means is quite amazing. "

Kuai Yue had admiration in his eyes and said, "this son can't be underestimated."

Kuai Liang coughed twice, and there was a trace of pain on his face. After a long time, he continued: "can you do Liu Xiu so well without using family resources?"

Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "hard!"

Kuai Liang said: "therefore, the attitude towards Liu Xiu can be appropriately tilted by the Kuai family."

With these words, Kuai Yue's face changed slightly.

Kuai Yue said, "brother, what do you mean?"

Kuai Liang said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi is too weak, not the master of Ming Dynasty. Liu Cong was frivolous and inappropriate. Because Liu Cong married a woman from the Cai family, the Cai family would help him. "

"These two people are not the future masters of Jingzhou."

"Even if one of the two can be on the top temporarily, it won't be long. If Liu Qi and Liu Cong were in charge of Jingzhou, the Kuai family would have to make another plan. But with Liu Xiu's birth, the situation is different. "

"If Liu Xiu can rise up, Jingzhou will no longer be what it used to be."

Kuai Liang's pale face was flushed, and his eyes were shining. He said: "in the past, he helped Liu Biao to enter Jingzhou because Liu Biao really had talent. But his talent can only be preserved, and it is difficult to last in troubled times. "

Kuai Yue has understood the meaning of the words.

Kuai Yue said solemnly, "brother, do you want to support xiugongzi?"

Kuai Liang laughed and said, "it's too early to support him. I mean, if we can, we can incline to him a little and express the goodwill of the Kuai family. Liu Xiu was born out of the common people, and there was a great weakness in the heaven. If his situation can be changed, it is not impossible for the Kuai family to support him in the future. "

After hearing this, Kuai Yue said, "I understand what elder brother means. I will follow this policy."

With a smile, Kuai Liang said, "the Cai family is tied to Liu Cong, thinking that Liu Cong is easy to control. But I don't know that if there is no skin, Mao will be attached, and Liu Cong can't control Jingzhou, what's the future of the Cai family? "

At this point, Kuai Liang said: "the existence of Liu Xiu may be an opportunity for the Kuai family to go up to a new level."

Kuai Liang sees Liu Xiu's performance in his eyes.All kinds of signs show that Liu Xiu has the potential to make a success.

Kuai Yue said, "don't worry, elder brother. I understand everything. What elder brother should do is to cultivate his body. As long as the elder brother is healthy, everything will be fine. "

Kuai Liang covered his chest and said slowly, "don't worry, you can't die."

……

Zhou Mu Fu, Liu Cong's yard.

Cai, Cai Mao and Liu Cong sat together, but their faces were dignified.

Liu Cong's face was ferocious, his eyes were shining with anger, and he said: "mother, uncle, Liu Xiu, that little bastard is in the limelight again. This time, Liu Xiu rescued Pang Tong. It turned out that he was only a disciple of the Pang family. Now he is a benefactor of the Pang family. He can't let go any more. "

Cai Mao sighed: "this time, Liu Xiu is really brilliant."

Liu Cong clenched his fist.

Cai Shi said: "my husband is very appreciative of Liu Xiu. I can't speak ill of Liu Xiu any more, otherwise it will easily arouse the suspicion of my husband. It's not easy to deal with Liu Xiu now. "

Liu Cong's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth: "kill him, if you can't, kill him. How dare a little boy from the common people want to touch Jingzhou? He is a fool

"How to kill?" Cai Mao asked

Liu Cong replied: "there are Rangers everywhere in Jingzhou. As long as you have money, are you afraid that no one will do it?"

Cai Mao said: "Mr. Cong, once you kill someone, the consequences will be very serious."

Liu Cong gritted his teeth and said, "he's dead. Who can know? Besides, who will speak for a dead man. I don't believe Pang family will come out for him after losing his life. "

Cai Mao's eyes fell on CAI.

Cai Shi was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I think Cong er's suggestion is feasible."

Cai Mao sighed, "I'll look for people and opportunities to assassinate Liu Xiu."

So far, we can only take such a bad policy.

Cai Mao agreed, but he was reluctant. For Liu Cong, the Cai family has paid a lot. Now we have to pay regardless of the cost, some have gone too far.

……

Longzhong, Zhuge Liang's residence.

In the study, Zhuge Liang is playing chess with himself.

He plays chess by himself, entertaining himself. The pieces on the chessboard are distributed vertically and horizontally, seemingly disorderly, but they go their own way.

Zhuge Liang stared at the board and murmured, "how can we win this game? Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, how will you break the game? It's not easy to save Shi Yuan. "

"Young master, we have news from Xiangyang."

Outside the study, the schoolboy talks.

Zhuge Liang looked back and asked, "what's the situation?"

The boy said, "Pang Tong is free from the crime."

Pop!

As soon as Zhuge Liang's hand was loosened, a piece of chess in his hand suddenly fell on the chessboard, and he said, "come in and talk about the situation at that time in detail."

The book boy pushed open the door and entered. He stood beside Zhuge and reported the news of Xiangyang in detail.

After listening carefully, Zhuge Liang was full of energy in his eyes, and said: "wonderful chess, wonderful chess, the means of breaking chess can be called exquisite. It's just that it's hard to be elegant by such means. "

With a wave of his hand, the bookboy stepped down respectfully.

Zhuge Liang sat still for a long time and said, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. You got Zhenshan sword. Now you save Pang Tong and get the kindness of Pang family. I'm afraid Mr. Cong will not give up. I'd like to see, how do you get through the next crisis? "

Zhuge Liang's mouth is full of smile.

Although Zhuge Liang was hidden in Longzhong, he knew everything about the outside world like the back of his hand.
