Chapter 627

This position was an absolutely lucrative post.

Cao Cao's father was able to accumulate so much wealth and even buy the position of Grand Commandant, mainly because he had schemed a lot of money while in the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture.

Sun Quan cupped his hands.

"Thank you, General of the Flying Cavalry!"

Liu Bei announced again,

"Zhang Zhao is appointed Inspector of Yangzhou."

Zhang Zhao quickly cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Lord Xuande."

Liu Bei also ordered Zhang Yun to be the Assistant Governor of Yangzhou, Lu Xun to be the Administrator of Wu Commandery, Zhu Huan to be the Administrator of Danyang Commandery, and Gu Yong to be the Administrator of Kuaiji Commandery. The four great clans of Jiangdong were all promoted exceptionally.

Excellent children from other great Jiangdong clans were also recruited by Liu Bei as county magistrates and other positions in various places.

He also transferred talents like Yu Fan, Lü Dai, and He Qi from Kuaiji Commandery to Wuxian.

This Lü Dai was born in the same year as Liu Bei, yet died later than Sun Quan, living to be ninety-five years old. Under the harsh medical conditions of ancient times, this was truly difficult.

After this reshuffle, Liu Bei basically controlled Jiangdong.

After the meeting,

Liu Bei visited several more families without stopping.

Zhou Yu's house was naturally locked tight.

Cheng Pu claimed illness and refused to see him. Liu Bei didn't mind and appointed his son, Cheng Zi, as a Captain.

After that was Zhu Zhi, a veteran of three generations of the Sun family. He was given the cold shoulder, but his nephew Zhu Ran came to surrender, and Liu Bei appointed him as the Magistrate of Wuxian.

Huang Gai also kept his door tightly shut.

Liu Bei didn't care; he was just putting on a show of being respectful to the virtuous for the people of Jiangdong to see.

If you don't want to, so be it. By the time this Sun Quan affair is over, it's uncertain how many will be left.

Having settled all this, Liu Bei finally returned to the Governor's Mansion.

Lu Lingqi rushed into his arms with red eyes.

"Husband~"

Liu Bei?

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Lu Lingqi sobbed.

"Wuwu, no one bullied me. Lady Xu told my fortune and said I was only supposed to live for nineteen years. Fortunately, I met you, Husband, and now my lifespan is very long."

Liu Bei smiled.

"So you must repay me well."

Lu Lingqi nodded, indicating she would definitely repay him earnestly.

Lady Cai also came out, her eyes also red.

"Husband, Lady Xu said I was originally going to marry Liu Biao and would soon become a widow, and my days after that would be even more miserable. All three brothers of my Cai family would have disasters... I also want to repay you."

Lady Fan also rushed out and threw herself into Liu Bei's arms.

"Husband, Lady Xu said I was originally going to be a widow for the rest of my life..."

Liu Bei nodded.

"I understand. You also have to repay me."

He thought that if he took Lady Xu to Chang'an, wouldn't many girls have to repay him?

Cai Yan and Diao Chan go without saying,

Zhen Mi (snatched by Cao Pi and killed by him),

Beauty Feng (conspired to be killed by Yuan Shu's women),

The Two Qiaos (widowed early),

Lady Zou, widowed, died in the chaos of war,

Dong Bai, died in the chaos of war,

Fu Shou, Lady Dong (killed by Cao Cao),

Lady Yuan, Huang Yueying (childless for life),

etc.

"With all this repaying, I'm going to have to put in quite a bit of effort!"

Liu Bei sighed, realizing he had done so many good deeds without knowing it.

"It's so hard for me, silently giving so much!"

Liu Bei entered the room to 'repair' Lady Xu properly!

Lady Xu didn't expect that just by telling a fortune, she would also end up in tears.

In the afternoon,

Jiang Gan also returned to the Governor's Mansion and quickly reported to Liu Bei.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's very difficult for Gongjin to surrender."

"Oh? How so?"

"Gongjin got dead drunk with me last night. In his speech, he accidentally revealed that the brat Sun Quan is not worth plotting with. He originally planned to send people to ambush you when you entered the city, but Sun Quan was afraid of trouble and didn't dare to agree, and even told them not to mess around."

Jiang Gan whispered,

"My lord, those involved in this matter include Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang. Last night, I secretly read the secret letters between Zhou Yu and the two of them."

Jiang Gan presented the stolen bamboo slips. As for what would happen to his old classmate Zhou Yu, that was none of his business. 0......

Liu Bei sighed inwardly.

"Old classmates meeting, and both stabbing each other in the back. Jiang Gan was clearly tricked by Zhou Yu. Jiangdong's 'Inception'? Interesting."

After reading the bamboo slips, Liu Bei exchanged a glance with Guo Jia and was immediately furious.

"What a Zhou Gongjin, to be so stubborn!"

"Zhang Fei, send people to surround the residences of the three and throw them into the dungeon!"

"Yes!"

Soon,

All three were taken into custody by Liu Bei!

Liu Bei passed the bamboo slips Jiang Gan had obtained to everyone to read.

Zhang Zhao was already at odds with Zhou Yu. He had just become the Inspector of Yangzhou, and Zhou Yu was already tripping him up!

"My lord, the three are stubborn. Why not behead them to show the public!"

The new Magistrate of Wuxian, Zhu Ran, also felt they should be beheaded!

Sun Quan quickly stepped out.

"General of the Flying Cavalry, this is all my fault. I told them at the beginning that Lord Xuande is the choice of the people, but they still... sigh!"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Zhongmou, this matter has nothing to do with you."

The good-natured Lu Su stepped out.

"My lord, Gongjin and these people have stubborn ideas, but they are also loyal people. Your wedding is imminent, so it is not appropriate to cause too much slaughter."

Other Jiangdong civil and military officials had more or less some friendship with the three, so they naturally pleaded for mercy.

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Forget it, take the three into custody first and let them reflect in prison!"

Everyone cupped their hands.

"My lord is benevolent."

After handling these matters,

It was already dark. Liu Bei kept everyone in the mansion to drink. When the crowd dispersed, they were surprised to find General Ye had come to Liu Bei's mansion.

Everyone exchanged glances. General Ye really has an eye for things; she ate Miss Shangxiang's candy first.

Ye Huang blushed deeply. She really came for a matter!

Liu Bei welcomed her into the inner chamber and smiled.

"Miss Ye, what brings you to me?"

Ye Huang...
