Accompanied by Mr. Liu, Xie Jingan inspected the cement barn again. Seeing that the roof of the barn had been sweeping the snow frequently, and the cement that had been made was also wrapped in good oil paper for waterproofing. After a few words, he praised him again, and took the people back to the palace.

Xie Jing'an handed over the task of investigating the Liu family to Lin Yan and forgot about it for the time being. However, after the Liu family knew that the people affected by the disaster were taken away by King Shun, they panicked. Not only did they eat less food than before, but Even the operas that I love to watch on weekdays have lost their taste. Except for a few young children who are playing heartlessly all day long, everyone else who is smarter has a sad face.

This day, the taste of the sun was as casual as a meal, and the head of the partial branch of the Liu family brought two brothers and the eldest son of the female family. A dozen or so people rushed into the flower hall of the main courtyard to wait for the servants. After tea and snacks were served, all the people were kicked out, leaving only one family to talk to themselves.

The head of this partial branch of the Liu family just passed his [-]th birthday, but due to years of pampering and pampering, his skin and flesh are stretched, his face is slightly rounded, and he looks quite kind-hearted, but now he is full of worries, and his brows are furrowed together, showing some Sinisterly, he said: "This King Shun is really meddling in his own business. There are so many vassals in the Zhou Dynasty, how many people in the land will not die every winter? He is the only one who likes to show the limelight, so he will give you some porridge to help him out." It’s fine to have some sheds that won’t freeze people to death, and they have to be placed in good houses, and they’re not afraid that they won’t be able to enjoy such a blessing.”

"Who told him that now his father doesn't love his mother?" After the head of Liu's family finished speaking, a female family member sitting at the bottom gave a mean smile: "I'm not close to rich and noble families like us, so I have to coax those fates." You bastard, otherwise who will support him as a vassal king?"

"What the second sister-in-law said is," another female family member dressed in colorful clothes shook the handkerchief in her hand, her voice was soft and pleasant, but the words she said were not so pleasant: "He is a prince who is despised by the emperor, and his uncle's family also There is no smart person who can help him. At most, the mother and concubine have a face, but they can only protect themselves. They can't help him. He has made trouble with people like us these years. If he doesn't get more popular support, The documents for impeaching him have already piled up the emperor's case, how can he be safe and secure in front of the vassal? In my opinion, he is nothing more than a strong outsider, so what's the use of taking those untouchables away? Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and our Liu family still has a fourth-rank official who works as a servant in the official department, and His Royal Highness is behind him. King Shun didn't dare to embarrass him easily, at best he only dared to speak behind his back."

The two female relatives talked to each other, and the stagnant atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly relaxed a little bit. The people who were sitting upright all leaned back on their chairs, and even had some snacks leisurely.

Only the head of the Liu family still frowned, shook his head for a while and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. King Shun used to be fearless in Chang'an. His brothers and ministers have beaten him before. Now Although it looks a lot more friendly, but who knows when he will be messed up again? Besides, our family signed a contract with him and gave him the money, so we just waited to get the goods and earn some money before sending them to Chang'an If it makes him angry and unwilling to supply us, the loss outweighs the gain."

"What did the elder brother say?" A tall and polite Liu family, but his face was pale and blue, and his body was obviously hollowed out by wine, turned his eyes and said: "The rare things made by King Shun are all good things. Not to mention Jindoujin, but you can also coax the sisters-in-law of the main branch to help us blow the pillow, why don't we also follow the example of Fatty Yao from Yizhou, and pick one of the girls who are at home? Don't care Na Shun Wang has such a muddy temper, he is still very handsome, and he has such a noble status, the girl will only enjoy blessings and not suffer if she is sent in."

The words that the head of the Liu family called him reminded of the annoying Yao Bin, and he couldn't help showing a bit of disgust, and waved his hand: "Our Liu family is also a family of scholars and eunuchs, how can we learn from those shameless merchants to sell Girl Qiurong? Do you want this face? Besides, what is the status of King Tai, and what is the status of King Shun? Follow King Tai and enjoy happiness in a prosperous place such as Chang'an. What can you do with King Shun? The house is not as big as our Liu family's head house, and there are so many people living there, it's not too crowded, if I want to send it to you, my daughter Liu Qin won't do it."

The Liu family who came up with the idea didn't feel embarrassed about Liu Qin's run, but his enthusiasm was extinguished by three points, and he was still a little unwilling, holding a teacup and muttering to his neck: "I'm not doing it for my family. Think about it? If I really have a daughter, I don’t need to tell you, I would have already sent it in, then this will not work and that will not work, according to what my brother said, what should I do?"

Liu Qin took a few sips of tea, held the teacup and frowned for a while, then shook his head for a while, and said, "Forget it, King Shun's temperament is really not a good match, so don't mention it again in the future if you send the girl in, we Liu Since the family is a scholarly family, it is necessary to show the character of a literati. Zuo just wants to get some benefits from our Liu family, so we will follow him, but the tail that should be put away needs to be tightened, especially in the house. Those servants bought from Xishui Village, don’t let them talk nonsense, and you also have to accept all your faults. King Shun is waiting to find out the faults of our Liu family, so don’t make a mistake. Grab the handle, store any anger for the time being, and it won't be too late to let it out after the limelight has passed."

Then he turned his head and told Mrs. Liu who was sitting on the chair next to him: "Today, you pick up some of the medicinal materials and outdated materials and cloths at home, and then take out 100 Shimi from the warehouse and give them together with [-] taels of silver. Go to the house where the untouchables of Xishui Village are placed, and then pack up a good gift, so that I can go to Shunwang Mansion tomorrow to find out some news."

Originally, she was in a good mood when she was eating snacks, but now, when she heard this, the old man immediately turned pale, but he also knew that this was not the time for her to be petty and show her temper, so she hummed reluctantly, which was considered to be Liu Qin's answer. These few words.

……

The Liu family's act of sending things to appease the affected people quickly reached Xie Jingan's ears. At that time, he was standing on the porch watching the snow with a sad face. He was stunned for a while when he heard the news. The news is well-informed, the king only sent General Lin to investigate privately, and he sent people to send these things, if he didn’t know, he really thought his family was some kind of benevolent family.”

"If you know it, you can see that their family has a guilty conscience," Liu Zhubo, who was standing beside Xie Jingan, continued, "Your Highness really wants to severely punish the Liu family? After all, this Liu family has also rooted in Mozhou for many years. Don't be afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that the Liu family will jump over the wall in a hurry and do something rash to hurt His Highness."

"So what?" Xie Jingan gathered the cloak he was wearing, cast a sidelong glance at Liu Zhubo, and said with a smile, "Could it be that because he jumped the wall in a hurry, this king didn't do anything? I really want to Keeping a low profile, I'm afraid that the Liu family will think that this king is afraid of them, and they will get more and more insatiable, killing more innocent people's lives."

Master Liu wanted to persuade him, but Xie Jing'an suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Liu, this king is not a reckless person, and he will not act recklessly until he is sure. Besides, you are a subject that this king relies heavily on." , Don’t I ask you before doing something? Even if you can’t trust this king, you have to trust yourself.”

After being coaxed by Xie Jingan, Master Liu's heart immediately eased a lot. After all, what King Shun said was right, severely punishing the Liu family for such a big matter, it is impossible for him to avoid himself.

Liu Zhubo let go of his gripping heart, and was about to talk to Xie Jingan about resettling the victims of the snow disaster, when he saw a somewhat familiar guard and Cui Tong, who was standing a few steps away from them, whispered a few words, Cui Tong listened With a strange expression on his face, he took two steps forward and asked, "His Royal Highness, the Liu family, Liu Qin, is begging to see him. Will His Highness let him in?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, Xie Jingan couldn't help but look a little weird, looked at Liu Zhubo, thought for a while and waved: "Let him in."

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles. Before you clean up others, it is good to have a confrontation first.

Mr. Liu Bo also wanted to follow him to see what the Liu family was here for, but he couldn't get away with all his affairs, so he had to give Xie Jingan a few words of reassurance, and then retreated to continue presiding over the snow disaster.

Not long after he left, Cui Tong led people into the flower hall. Xie Jingan didn't like Liu's family in the past, but now that he was dealing with Xishui Village, he disliked him even more. Even Liu Qin saluted him. He only lazily agreed to let him sit down, and Liu Qin thumped in his heart when he saw it, and he had a bad premonition.

Although he was a little flustered in his heart, Liu Qin was still affable and amiable on the surface, pretending not to see Xie Jingan's perfunctory attitude towards him, he sat down on the chair and flattered him: "I heard about the ceremony that His Highness sent to the palace half a month ago. Then we set off, counting the days, and it is time to arrive in Chang'an. With these rare things made by His Highness, I think they will be liked by the nobles. Maybe the reward given to His Highness by the Holy Majesty is on the way back. Congratulations to Your Highness, with such a great favor, His Highness is still worried about not being able to accomplish any important things? Even the return to Chang'an is just around the corner."

King Shun was raised in the palace since he was a child, and it has only been a few years since Cheng Ding opened the mansion. Now that the sudden feudal land is such a barren and remote place, he must be thinking about the prosperity of Chang'an day and night, hoping that the saint will be able to summon him one day. Even if he couldn't stay in Chang'an for a long time, it would be good to go back and stay for a month or two to see Concubine Hui.

Liu Qin thought that this flattery had hit Xie Jingan's itching spot, but he didn't think that King Shun in front of him had already changed his mind. What he was most afraid of was contacting the closest person to the original owner, so when Liu Qin said this, , Xie Jingan's complexion suddenly changed. Although he was not too harsh to speak to Liu Qin, his eyes became colder and his tone became colder: "Master Liu deserves to have been rooted in Mozhou for many years. The news is really well-informed. If you come to see this king, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, if this king is right, is Master Liu coming to see this king because of the disaster-stricken people in Xishui Village?"
