Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 59
Watching Liu Yu lead the people away from Zhongping Gate, Guo Si waved his hand behind him, and a figure quietly emerged from the hiding place.

Han Rang looked out in a panic, and only dared to lean out when he found that Liu Yu was far away.

I heard Han Rang say with a little worry: "Why didn't you let me finish the grand master's oral order just now? The king of Zhongshan obviously won the favor of the grand master. If you and I hide it like this, I'm afraid he will find out in the future." Revenge!"

Guo Bang snorted coldly, and said, "I'll take care of the Taiwei's mansion, why should I give it to Liu Yu as soon as I come here?"

These days, Guo Si was in a state of prosperity, but as soon as Liu Yucai returned to Beijing, Dong Zhuo had the intention of handing over the Taiwei Mansion to him, which made Guo Si very dissatisfied.

"Let's talk about the original words of the grand master. If Liu Yu thinks that his hometown in the south of the city is too dilapidated, he will let him live in the Taiwei's mansion. But it is not clearly stated that he will give the Taiwei's mansion to Liu Yu."

"So when you report back later, you will say that Liu Yu is nostalgic and doesn't want to move to the Taiwei's Mansion. After hearing this, the Taishi will definitely not mention this matter again, so Liu Yu will naturally not know about it."

After Guo Si finished speaking, he smiled sinisterly, thinking that Liu Yu was the royal family after all, Dong Zhuo also hesitated whether to reuse him because of this.

Liu Yu's failure to move into the Taiwei's Mansion today will definitely make Dong Zhuo suspicious again, so that he will have a chance to go further, and maybe soon he will no longer have to temporarily act as the Taiwei's Mansion but become the real owner of this place.

Seeing Guo Si, Han Rang didn't listen to persuasion and just sighed a few times, and finally went back to report to Dong Zhuo according to the method he said.

Han Rang is a popular person in the palace, and he usually conveys the will of the emperor and Dong Zhuo, but few people know that Guo Si is his own brother-in-law, and it is Han Rang's recommendation that Guo Si temporarily replaces him. to Taiwei Mansion.

It's just that the conversation between the two happened to be overheard by a young man hiding behind the flower garden, and the young man came out quietly after Guo Si and Han Rang left one after another.

The young man has delicate features, but when he squints his eyes, he looks very shrewd and wise.

"I didn't expect Zhongshan King Liu Yu to really have the idea of ​​switching to Dong Zhuo. It seems that the plan of my father and Wang Situ may not succeed!"

……

The northern part of the city near the imperial city is populated by high-ranking officials of the Jiuqing. Liu Yu also lived in the northern part of the city when he was a child, but his royal status was automatically downgraded by one level after his parents passed away.

Later, the family fortune fell and the previous Liu Yu really had no skills, so he had to move to live in the south of the city in the end.

The people living in the southern part of the city are all petty officials and generals, as well as some rich families. Even so, Liu Yu's small mansion is only located in the most remote corner.

But the alley, which is usually deserted, is full of people today.

"My general is not at home, you should come back later!"

A middle-aged housekeeper begged bitterly, but the fat man standing in front of him didn't listen to his explanation at all.

"Wait? How long are we going to wait! My family lent you [-] yuan three years ago, and today I have to pay for the principal and interest, or else I will pay the bill with this house."

This fat man has an arrogant and unreasonable face, and he looks like a rich man.

At this time, another tall man in a brocade robe also pointed his finger at the housekeeper and yelled loudly, "Our Cui family gave your family tens of hu of grain and rice on credit the year before last. Pay the market price or use the house to repay the debt!"

Hearing that many people in front were collecting debts, both Liu Bei and Zhang Da looked at Liu Yu involuntarily, and even Cai Yan, who had been hiding in the car, poked his head out quietly.

"What are you looking at me for? It's not that I'm asking for a bill." Liu Yu spread his hands in embarrassment, pointed to the small courtyard behind the group of people and said, "My house is opposite!"

Liu Yu's words caught the attention of the group of people. When they saw a general riding a white horse slowly approaching, followed by dozens of imposing Habayashi soldiers, they immediately gave way.

"Isn't that Liu Yu!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, he is the King of Zhongshan now, haven't you heard the legend of Hulao Pass?"

As soon as the tall man reminded the rich and fat man, he quickly lowered his head and shut up. It seemed that everyone in Luoyang knew that Liu Yu was no longer the chick general he used to be.

"Master, you are back!"

At this moment, an old voice came from the crowd, and Liu Yu saw that he was the old housekeeper in his mansion.

This old housekeeper was Liu Yu's father's childhood companion, named Liu Laifu, and became the housekeeper of Liu's residence when he grew up.

Later, Liu Yu's father passed away, and Liu's house was not as good as before and moved from the north of the city to the south of the city, but Laifu still persisted and continued to be Liu Yu's housekeeper.

Seeing the butler walking quickly, Liu Yu quickly jumped off the horse to help him. Although the two are in the relationship of master and servant, they feel like family members after living together all year round.

Laifu had heard about Liu Yu's earth-shattering feats these days, and when he saw his master came back, he asked excitedly, "Is the master the King of Zhongshan now?"

Liu Yu nodded with a smile, and Laifu burst into tears all of a sudden.

"Great, master, he can finally smile at Jiuquan!"

Laifu felt the changes in Liu Yu, but felt that this should be the temperament Liu Yu should have.

From now on, no one in Luoyang would dare to laugh at General Chick anymore, and their family finally produced another prince!
Liu Yu comforted the old man for a while, and when his mood stabilized, he curiously asked about the situation in front of him.

Liu Yu asked curiously: "Uncle Fu, what are these people doing here? I remember that no one lived on the opposite side of our house before!"

Lai Fu explained: "This family was moved here when the master went to Hulao Pass."

"The general in the mansion's resurname Huangfu seems to owe money to these people, and the general Huangfu was imprisoned for a crime, and the only female family members left in the family couldn't pay it back, so these debt collectors wanted to forcibly seize their house."

There are not many generals in Luoyang who have the surname Huangfu again, could it be Huangfusong?
I remember that Huangfusong was demoted and sent to prison because he offended Dong Zhuo. Now it seems that these debtors are all here to add insult to injury.

Huangfusong can be regarded as a loyal minister and famous general. He has made great contributions to destroying the Yellow Turban Army. Thinking of this, Liu Yu decided to help him.

"The so-and-so, Zhou... Fatty?"

Hearing this, the rich fat man hurried forward to pay homage.

"Villain Zhou Fang pays homage to King Zhongshan!"

The matter of Feng Zhongshan King has not been officially announced to the world, but there are many dignitaries in Luoyang City, and their relatives and friends are more, so if there is any trouble in the imperial city, the whole city will know.

Especially in the past few days, the legend about Liu Yu is known all over the city.

Liu Yu remembered that Zhou Fang was a big landlord. Besides having a lot of fertile land outside the city, there were also quite a few shops in the eastern and western cities.

And Zhou's mansion is also in this alley, so Liu Yu still has some impression of him.

"The money that General Huangfu owes you is on me. If you are free, come to my residence to get it!"

"This……"

When he heard that Liu Yu was going to stand up for Huangfusong, Zhou Fang immediately hesitated.

"Why are you afraid that I, Liu Yu, will renege on my debt?"

"How dare a villain! Since King Zhongshan has come forward, I don't want the money!"

Just as Zhou Fang finished speaking, Cui Di, the tall man who came to collect debts with him, immediately came to congratulate Liu Yu.

"Congratulations to King Zhongshan for his triumphant return. The villain is Cui Di who lives in Qianjie."

The Cui family is also a big family. The big family in Luoyang City are inextricably linked with the officials in the court, and Liu Yu is an upstart who is about to rise. Cui Di doesn't want to miss the opportunity to cling to him.

"Oh, so it's the young master of the Cui family! By the way, I seem to have heard that General Huangfu still owes your family food?"

"Hehe, this is a misunderstanding. The villain just heard that the family gave the food to General Huangfu on his own initiative. It was not a loan, so there is no need to pay it back!"

This Cui Di is really a bachelor. Seeing that Liu Yu intends to make peace for Huangfu Song, he hastened to give up pursuing him, hoping to leave a good impression on Liu Yu.

"Whether it's a loan or a gift, Liu Yu has decided. Come to my mansion with Zhou Fang in a few days!"

Liu Yu's words were unquestionable, and the two of them became uneasy after hearing this.

Although they had some connections in the imperial court, the person in front of him was King Zhongshan whom even Dong Zhuo admired very much. Their Zhou family and Cui family could not afford to offend them.
