Chapter 472

Liu Xiu took Deng Zhan into the county and walked around the county.

Take a look and find out what's going on in the city.

The price of grain in the city has indeed stabilized. In addition, the government has opened warehouses to release grain, and the situation is under control.

Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiushen and said, "Lord, when I was in a humble position to inquire about the situation, I learned that the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the city is the best. The wine in Xiaoyao Pavilion is quite delicious. "

Liu xiudao: "well, go and have a try."

Deng Zhan led the way and soon came to the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the center of the city.

As soon as they got to the door, an attendant came up and said, "ladies and gentlemen, please!"

Deng Zhan gave a little money as a reward and said, "prepare a quiet place by the window upstairs."

"Good!"

When the attendant got the money, he was naturally happy and took Liu Xiu to the second floor. When he came to the attic on the second floor, the attendant chose a quiet place by the window and could see the situation in the hall downstairs.

The attendant said, "what do you want?"

Deng Zhan said directly: "a pot of xiaoyaoge wine, and a few special dishes."

"Right away!"

The waiter went down to arrange, and soon brought the food and wine.

Deng Zhan poured a glass of wine for himself. After he drank it, he confirmed that it was ok, and then he poured wine for Liu Xiu. Then, pointing to the innermost platform of the lobby, Deng Zhan said: "Lord, this Xiaoyao Pavilion is excellent in liquor and arguable. Anyone who drinks in Xiaoyao Pavilion can go up and make a speech. This place is also a place to ask for information. "

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "no, I'm looking forward to having someone try it."

"Yiliu!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Xiu found the aroma of fruit in his chest.

Deng Zhan said: "Lord, the wine is good."

Liu Xiu couldn't bear to attack Deng Zhan and said, "it's OK." Later generations have all kinds of wine, and Liu Xiu is also a drinker. This kind of wine is not enough to make Liu Xiu feel like a peerless wine.

Two people drink wine, listening to the discussion of the people in Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Deng Zhandao: "Lord, look, someone is going up."

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on a middle-aged man below. The man had a national face, a solemn face and a serious manner. He went to the platform in the lobby, faced the people in the lobby, and said, "in xiamaozong, I think that Liu Xiu's coming to Jiaozhou is not the blessing of the people."

Brush!

There was an uproar in the lobby.

Today, there is a person who is not afraid of death. He doesn't like Liu Xiu.

Deng Zhan's face turned black and said, "Lord, I'll go down to drive people out."

Liu Xiu said: "it's not clear whether to argue. It's just time for them to debate. Besides, I'm not liked by everyone. There are always people who don't like me. It's normal to have people you don't like. If you want to block the speech, you should not talk at all. "

"But this man is really hateful," Deng said

Liu Xiu didn't like it and said, "keep watching."

Mao Zong's words aroused the interest of people drinking and chatting in the hall.

A person's eyes fell on Mao Zong.

It's a great pleasure to drink in Xiaoyao Pavilion, and it's also a great pleasure to listen to the people on the stage talking and spitting. There are not many things to do in this era, so the Xiaoyao Pavilion attracts many people.

Mao Zong glanced at the people around him, chin slightly up, said: "you must have doubts, why do I say that Liu Xiu is not a blessing for the people? I have three reasons! "

"First, when uncle Liu was in Jiaozhou, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, free from the disaster of war and natural disasters, which can be described as a stable group. Now Liu Xiu is here. The frequent wars in Jiaozhou and the food shortage in Cangwu county are all caused by Liu Xiu's coming. With so many troops under Liu Xiu's command, Jiaozhou had to supply Liu Xiu's army with grain. What else could the common people have when all the grain was thrown into his hands? There must be less. "

"Second, Liu Xiu is cruel and uncle Liu is benevolent. Liu Xiuyi came to power. There were two big families in Cangwu County who were killed and the survivors were demobilized. Jiaozhou any big family, are accumulated over the years, is a scholarly family. Now, it's just one day's end. It's too cruel. On the other hand, when uncle Liu was in power, he was an official who was harmonious in politics, did not kill people, did not dismiss officials, despised corvee and paid little taxes. He was an official who benefited the people. "

"Third, Liu Xiu is greedy, and uncle Liu has nothing to do with it. When Liu Xiu first came here, he had already made a lot of money. The money of the two families who were wiped out went into Liu Xiu's purse. On the other hand, when he arrived in Jiaozhou, he did not commit any crime, did not target any family, and fought for profits with the people everywhere. "

Mao Zong had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "ladies and gentlemen, if you want me to say that Liu Xiu should not be allowed to stay in Jiaozhou."

"Ha ha ha..."

All of a sudden, a laugh rang out from the hall.

The voice was rather soft, and then a thin young man came forward.

The young man stared at Mao Zong and said, "nonsense!"

The young man was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, especially his eyes, which were shining and bright. When he came out, there was an extraordinary bearing in his manner.Deng Zhan stared at the young man and said, "my Lord, this is a woman."

"Well!"

Liu Xiu was very surprised. He checked carefully upstairs and found that the young man did not have an Adam's apple. There was no doubt that she was disguised as a man. With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "listen to her."

Mao Zong also stared at the woman and asked, "what's your address?"

The woman said with a smile, "my name is Shixuan."

Mao Zong's eyes narrowed and said, "is the scholar a member of the scholar's family?"

Shi Xuan shook her head and said, "is it true that all the people with surnames of Shi in Cangwu county come from the Shi family?"

Mao Zong listened to the other party's reply, and felt at ease. He waved his hand and said, "master, please!"

Shi Xuan stood opposite Mao Zong and said, "what you said to me is just a bunch of nonsense. It's totally untenable. I really don't know where you want to live. Are you going to let the people fall into trouble again? "

Mao Zongdao said, "if you don't agree with me, you can refute it."

Shi Xuan carried her hands behind her and said, "that's what she meant."

Deng Zhan said: "my Lord, this woman is very eloquent and dare to dress as a man. What do you think?"

Liu Xiu glared at Deng Zhan and said, "listen!"

Shi Xuan stared at Mao Zong and said, "you have said three things against Liu Xiu. Now, let me refute you one by one."

"First, you are talking about food. As far as I know, after Liu Xiu led his troops into Cangwu County, he has not yet taken a grain of grain from Jiaozhou. "

"The unstable grain price and the shortage of grain in Jiaozhou were also the result of the hoarding of grain by many aristocratic families in Jiaozhou."

"In order to stabilize the grain, Liu Xiu ordered Shi Xie to carry out strict investigation, and then stabilized the situation and made the grain price stabilize again. As for the grain for disaster relief, Liu Xiu also urged him to do so. "

Shixuan stared at maozong and said, "you are the one who slanders wantonly. In my opinion, you are the one who has ulterior motives."

Mao Zong snorted: "yes, who knows?"

Shi Xuan said: "Liu Xiu's troops are stationed outside the city. If they use food, who can see so many people coming and going every day carrying food out of the barracks. I only saw grain for disaster relief, but not for Liu Xiu. "

"Hum!"

Mao Zong snorted and held his chin high.

Shi Xuan continued: "second, you said Liu Xiu was cruel and Liu Bei was benevolent. In my opinion, I'm afraid you're not from Jiaozhou. You don't know the situation. Is it a secret that Liu Bei, who came from Yangzhou all the way from Nanhai county to Cangwu County, has committed many crimes

"On the contrary, Liu Xiu, when the army arrived in Cangwu county and broke the city, did it cause any casualties?"

"Liu Xiu ordered the army not to go out and not to commit any crimes. Have you ever heard that Liu Xiu's soldiers killed or robbed the common people? "

Shi Xuan looked disdainful and said, "it's just a bunch of nonsense. It's really a shame to talk so much."

After a pause, Shi Xuan said, "as for the third one, it's even more ridiculous. The two families were killed for hoarding food and raising food prices. Moreover, the food of the two families was given to the people, and Liu Xiu was not greedy. On the contrary, you get Liu Xiu's advantage, but you slander Liu Xiu. It's a shame. "

Mao Zong was hot. He wanted to make a name for himself. Unexpectedly, he met a evil star.

His three words were refuted one by one.
