Sure enough, her words silenced the four stewards, and after half a sound, the steward hesitated and said, "What does this have to do with Steward Cao?" He is the manager of the Cao family's grain store, not a spy of the Liao State. ”

Liu Xuan glanced back at the struggling Cao steward, and sneered: "Although this person is in the Cao family, but his heart is in Liaoying, now the country is in danger, not only does he not want to help, but he is embarrassed everywhere and refuses to sell grain, why is this behavior not to help the Liao State attack the city?!" Everyone knows that today's saint is because of the help of Master Cao to get the world, and now the country is in danger, if Master Cao knows that he will definitely help him, but this person is here three times to make trouble, not to insult the door of the Cao family's loyalty? If such a person is not a spy of the Liao State, is he in charge?! ”

The last sentence made the steward completely shut up, Liu Xuan reflexively sat back in his seat, took the tea on the side and sipped it slowly, while observing everyone's expressions.

It's just that the fact that Cao Guan, who was constantly struggling in the hall, was too much of an eyesore, Liu Xuan gave Hu Yi a look, and Hu Yi immediately understood, raised his foot and kicked it in the stomach of the Cao Steward, and the Cao Steward suddenly fell to the ground and curled up into a ball.

This scene shocked the stewards of the four great families again.

Liu Xuan put down the teacup and looked at the four people: "Now that the Liao State spy has been arrested, and this girl is also relieved, it's time to talk about business." ”

She paused deliberately and said to the steward: "I know that the Ren family grain store has a lot of grain, I wonder if the Ren steward can sell me 100,000 quintals of grain and transport it to the capital on the fourth day?" ”

The steward couldn't stand the charge of being a spy in Liao, so he nodded again and again: "Yes." Naturally. ”

Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows: "I don't know how many silver taels are needed for 100,000 quintals?" ”

The steward wanted to say that it would be done at the market price, but he looked at the Cao steward who was curled up in a ball on the ground, and then looked at Liu Xuan's raised eyebrows, swallowed his saliva and said: "Ten thousand, ten thousand taels will be done." ”

Liu Xuan smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Ren Steward is a loyal and patriotic person, and when His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, Xuan will definitely ask for a reward for Ren Steward." ”

The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said that he didn't dare, Liu Xuan smiled slightly and looked at others.

There are examples of Cao in charge, and there are people in charge of affairs in the back. The stewards of the other three families also knew what to do. Liu Xuan asked one by one, and the three of them sold the grain to Liu Xuan at half the market price, and promised to send it to the capital within five days.

The managers of the grain stores of the four major families half sold and half gave Liu Xuan a total of 300,000 loads of grain. Liu Xuan thanked the four of them. He also promised to reward them. Then let Qiu Ju send off.

The stewards of the grain stores of the four major families looked at Steward Cao on the ground and looked at each other. I don't know whether to go or not, on weekdays, the Ren family and the Cao family are the closest, and the Ren steward hesitates again and again and says: "Is this Cao steward a Liao State spy?" I also hope that Miss Liu will be aware of it. ”

Liu Xuan frowned when she heard this: "He is a spy of the Liao State, the evidence is conclusive at this time, this girl has seen it with her own ears, and there is no need to intercede if she is in charge, just notify the Cao family to collect the body." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the Cao steward, who was originally curled up in a ball on the ground, also struggled to kneel, Liu Xuan didn't look at everyone's expressions, and only lightly opened his mouth and ordered: "Come on, the manager of the Cao family's grain store is a spy of the Liao State, and this girl has been verified on the order of the prince, and she was cut on the spot in order to punish the great commandment!" ”

As soon as Liu Xuan's voice fell, Hu Yi immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, and the faces of the four stewards were already pale, and they all opened their mouths to dissuade them, and the steward was even more anxious and sweating: "Miss Liu, don't!" ”

He couldn't think of any other words besides this, he thought that Liu Xuan would make the Cao family pay for a crime, but he never thought that she was going to be serious, and she was going to execute the Cao steward on the spot!

Steward Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the tiger and pulled out his sword and put it on his neck, and he no longer had the previous arrogance and a trace of luck in his heart, and now he couldn't take care of anything anymore, and he was about to kneel towards Liu Xuan, and when Hu Er saw this, he kicked him on the back again.

The steward Cao took a kick but quickly got up, he kowtowed to Liu Xuan hurriedly, and the sound of dong dong resounded in the hall, at this time his hair was scattered and tears flowed horizontally, and he was extremely embarrassed.

But Liu Xuan still had no intention of retracting the order.

The steward and the other stewards couldn't help but kneel down anymore, Liu Xuan hurriedly got up and helped him up: "What do you mean?" In terms of seniority, you are the elders and Xuan, and in terms of merits, you are all meritorious people in the imperial court, how can Liu Xuan receive great gifts from you. ”

The four stewards had no choice but to stand up again, but they still persuaded again and again, Liu Xuan sighed: "You guys are like this, Xuan can't just go his own way." ”

She looked at the already embarrassed Steward Cao and said sharply, "What do you say?" ”

The Cao steward pointed to his throat and shouted silently, as soon as Hu stepped forward to relieve his dumb hole, the Cao steward immediately said as soon as he could speak: "Miss Liu, I am really not a Liao State spy, I am willing to serve 200,000 loads of grain like other stewards!" ”

Liu Xuan frowned at him when he heard this: "I have already raised food, what is the use of asking for your 200,000 quintals?" Besides, how do I know if you're doing this to save your life? What you did before is clearly a Liao State spy! ”

"I'm not!" The Cao steward almost cried, but no matter what he said, Liu Xuan didn't seem to believe a word, so Cao Guan had no choice but to hurriedly look at the four stewards.

When the four major stewards received his request for help, they immediately pleaded for mercy, and the steward Ren even said: "That steward Cao is really a person from the Cao family who knows the roots, and he will never have two hearts. ”

Liu Xuan frowned as if she was puzzled: "Is this really the case?" ”

Steward Ren nodded repeatedly: "Exactly." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuan frowned and looked at the Cao steward who was kneeling on the ground and said: "The four stewards all intercede for you, saying that you are a ghost for a while, and this girl also wants to believe you, but how do you prove it?" ”

Steward Cao thought for a moment, and said quickly: "Within five days, I am willing to give 200,000 loads of grain to the girl, and I will not take a penny to prove my innocence." ”

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment: "In this way, you are really not a spy of the Liao Kingdom?" ”

That Steward Cao heard Liu Xuan's words. I almost cried with joy, and hurriedly said, "I'm really not." ”

As soon as Steward Cao's voice fell, the four stewards on the side also echoed him, Liu Xuan sighed: "Since Steward Cao is willing to offer 200,000 quintals of grain to prove his innocence, and there are four major family grain stewards to testify for you, maybe this matter needs to be investigated again, in this case, this girl is not embarrassed to be with you, Steward Cao made a note, and left with the other stewards." ”

That Cao steward was like a pardon, and hurriedly nodded and said yes. Xiao Gong personally presented pen and ink. He didn't want to put pen to paper, and after he set up the note, he wanted to hand it over to Liu Xuan, but Xiao Gong on the side reminded him: "Didn't Steward Cao forget the seal of Cao's grain store?" ”

Steward Cao was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded yes, and took out the seal of Cao's grain store from his body and stamped it. Only then did he dry the ink and hand it to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan accepted it and nodded slightly. Then let Xiao Gong send the five people out of the courtyard.

When the stewards of the five great families came out of the hall. Seeing their own secret guards who had been pestled in the courtyard, the five of them suddenly had a helpless look on their faces, and then a gust of wind passed. I only heard a few snaps, and the secret guards in the courtyard were relieved one after another, and as soon as those secret guards were freed, they immediately wanted to ask for guilt, and the steward of the grain store of the five major families sighed and waved their hands to let them retreat.

The disparity in strength is so great, and it's no wonder that they are.

The five people who came out of the courtyard were really surprised, and what surprised them was not that their guards were being controlled, but that they actually saw Deng Jiajun!

At this time, they remembered that Liu Xuan had a great friendship with King Ning.

If they were still dissatisfied, but at this moment when they saw the Deng Jiajun, they completely lost their temper, and silently got into their own carriages and left one by one, although the Cao steward made a note, but today he was really unwilling to be humiliated in front of everyone, he wanted to make some fuss about the food, but when he looked at the Deng Jiajun in silver armor, that idea also quietly retreated.

This Liu Xuan is loved by King Ning, don't talk about himself, even Taishi Cao doesn't dare to offend easily.

Steward Cao is not a blind person, he knows that today's matter is because he is too big, so he has become the target of Liu Xuan's surgery, this matter can not be blamed by others, and he can only blame himself, he is sure that if he is not convinced today, the four major stewards do not intercede for themselves, then Liu Xuan will definitely dare to kill himself on the spot!

He had to report to Master Cao about today's matter, not for the 200,000 loads of grain, but to tell Steward Cao that Liu Xuan was by no means as harmless as he seemed.

How did the five stewards think of Liu Xuan didn't know, and when Xiao Gong sent the five stewards back to the lobby, what he saw was Liu Xuan's smiling face, Xiao Gong stepped forward and bowed deeply to Liu Xuan, and then said with a smile: "The girl's means today, the old man really admires the five-body throw!" ”

Hu Yi Hu and the others also nodded again and again, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei were even more proud, Dong Mei raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "That's, our young lady showed her power today, and scared the five stewards, especially the Cao steward, who was beaten so much, and finally gave 200,000 loads of food for free, I'm afraid that his intestines will be repentant at this moment." ”

These words caused everyone to laugh, and Liu Xuan let out a long sigh of turbidity in his heart: "I asked him to set up a note, but I was also worried that he would regret it afterwards. ”

Xiao Gong nodded on the side: "The girl is brave and resourceful, and she is worthy of being the prince's favorite." ”

Liu Xuan smiled a little shyly when she heard this, she had gathered the food, and she didn't know if he could handle the matter in his hands.

A few days later, the grain stores of the seven families successively delivered the grain, the first batch of the seven families to send food was Pang Tao, Liu Xuan is also a trustworthy person, Hu Er has already fostered the woman in the name of the capital Taishou, became an adopted orphan girl, although he has not entered the family tree and has not told everyone, but Pang Tao's sedan chair is to carry the woman out of the mansion of the Beijing Taishou.

Pang Tao even handed Liu Xuan an invitation that day, because it was a concubine Liu Xuan who was not easy to go, so he only quietly went to Pang Mansion to meet the two in the backyard and drank the tea of the two, Liu Xuan thought about it and said what he thought in his heart: "I shouldn't have said this today, but I couldn't help but say it after thinking about it." ”

"Girl, please speak."

Liu Xuan turned his eyes to Pang Tao and said: "Now that you have married the woman you love, it is the time of happiness in your heart, although you are happy, you must not forget your wife, even if you have never fallen in love, she also gave you her best years, give you Pang Mansion, you should respect him." ”

She knew that what she said was very inappropriate, and immediately explained: "If you can invite me to come, I will treat you as a friend, naturally I have one thing to say, and I can't hide that my biological mother is my father's concubine who killed his wife to death, I don't want such a tragedy to happen under my eyes again, and the person who respects my wife can be valued by others." ”

Pang Tao naturally understands this truth, he just didn't expect Liu Xuan to say this at such a time, and then heard Liu Xuan mention her own life experience, Pang Tao was silent, and nodded after half a sound: "Miss Liu said this for Pang Tao, this Pang Tao is still awake, the girl can tell such a secret thing, that is, she made Pang Tao a friend, Pang Tao will treat his wife respectfully as the girl said." ”

Liu Xuan smiled slightly: "With Mr. Pang's personality, in fact, there is no need for Xuan to say much. ”

Liu Xuan did not stay in Pang Mansion for a long time, and sat down for a while before returning to Liu Mansion.

In the following days, the rest of the grain from other family grain stores was also delivered, and Chen Liang also raised 200,000 quintals of grain, which was sent to the capital wharf. Since Liu Xuan had raised more food than March, she ordered Xiao Gong to keep the grain from her own grain store in case of emergency.

For this reason, King Ning also specially sent Wei Ang to praise Liu Xuan, saying that she had the good characteristics of being virtuous and helpful.

Liu Xuan was a little speechless, in the face of such praise, she didn't know if she should be happy.

Hu Yi reported all Liu Xuan's actions to Li Che in detail early in the morning, but Hu Yi did not receive a reply from his master, which had never happened before, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

After worrying for a few days, Li Che finally came back when Hu Yi was about to lose his stomach and prepare to look for it in person.

Li Che arrived on the evening of the last day of the appointment, Liu Xuan looked at his dusty appearance and knew that he had just returned to Beijing, she personally poured tea for him, and then sat next to him, watching Li Che drink tea and put down the teacup, she asked: "Can this trip to Beijing go smoothly?" ”

Li Che looked at her silently and didn't answer, his eyes were too deep, and his black eyes were like a pool of spring water, which instantly softened Liu Xuan's heart, and she tilted her head slightly with disgust: "What are you doing staring at me all the time?" ”

Li Che raised the corners of his lips and coughed lightly: "This time I went out of Beijing to chase Jin Yi, but in fact, I took the opportunity of chasing Jin Yi to find out who the Liao spy was. (To be continued......)
