There is only one chapter today! ）

On April 15, the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, Liu Shi'an's house in Nancheng.

Today, a rare guest came to Liu's Mansion, and Xu Peifu, the current Tongzhi of Luyang Mansion, actually came to his door.

After talking for a long time, Xu Peifu said: "Liu Baihu, this time Xu has something to ask for!"

Xu Peifu is a civil official, and he has very little intersection with Liu Shi'an, so there must be something wrong with coming to the door this time.

Liu Shi'an said with an indifferent attitude: "Lord Xu has great powers in this Luyang Mansion, what else can be difficult for you?"

Hearing this, Xu Peifu smiled bitterly and said: "What Lord Liu said, no matter how powerful my Xu is, I can't compare to you Jinyiwei!"

In the mouths of civil officials, Jinyiwei is generally scolded as a traitor, so when he heard Xu Peifu's praise, Liu Shi'an became alert in his heart.

At this time, Liu Shi'an didn't want to be false anymore, so he put down the teacup and said, "Lord Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Jinyiwei is really a reckless man, Xu Peifu said with disdain in his heart.

But he said with a smile on his face: "Lord Liu, you must have heard about the recent hoarding of these grain merchants in the city and raising prices!"

Liu Shi'an was silent, and said: "I've heard of it, now my house is in trouble because of this, does Lord Xu want to help one or two?"

said these shameless words, Liu Shi'an did not feel ashamed at all, he was not treated well with civil officials.

Liu Shi'an's words made Xu Peifu difficult to accept, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, and soon said: "Your Lord Liu is not having a good time, and my family is about the same, so I ask you Lord Liu to take care of it!"

Hearing this, Liu Shi'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "This should be your yamen's business, why did you still find us?"

Xu Peifu said: "Since Lord Liu asked, then Xu will also confess......

"There are some forces behind the grain merchants, although Governor Cheng can also do this, but he has offended everyone......"

It's really not good, but it's not interesting to hide it, Liu Shi'an can see it himself.

I only heard Liu Shi'an sneer: "What does Lord Xu mean, I'm not afraid of offending people?"

Jinyiwei's reputation is rotten, and he is afraid of offending people with a fart...... Xu Peifu scolded secretly.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Peifu still said with a smile: "Those who can work harder, besides, those profiteers are worth a lot of money, and they will not be disposed of by you when the time comes!"

Xu Peifu said this, Liu Shi'an should seriously consider this matter, because there are huge benefits in it.

After a while, Liu Shi'an spoke: "These grain merchants are hoarding and living strangely, this is a trip to bring disaster to the country and the people, but the interference of Jinyiwei is not out of bounds!" ”

What he wanted was this, Xu Peifu immediately said: "Who said it wasn't, this is within the scope of Jinyiwei's authority!" ”

Xuan even saw Liu Shi'an stand up and said: "This matter, this official will take over!" ”

In fact, Liu Shi'an knew that even if he solved the grain merchant for Cheng Fangming, the other party would not remember his favors.

Because they were just exchanging interests, Cheng Fangming wanted to suppress the grain merchants, while Liu Shi'an took a fancy to the grain merchants' silver.

At this time, Xu Peifu stood up and said: "Then I wish Lord Liu a victory and severely punish these lawbreakers!" ”

Liu Shi'an said: "This is nature! ”

After the two discussed, Xu Peifu had no need to stay, and it was not a good thing for him to stay alone with Liu Shi'an for too long.

When Xu Peifu left, Liu Shi'an shouted outside: "Come on, go and call Yue Menghao over!" ”

Yue Menghao is the most effective cadre under Liu Shi'an, and if there is any major matter, Liu Shi'an will look for him to do it.

This time, the grain merchant was packed, and there were more people and things involved in the back, so it was just right for Yue Menghao to do it.

In less than ten minutes, Yue Menghao hurried to Liu Shi'an's mansion.

After greeting Liu Shi'an, Yue Menghao asked, "What is the matter with me?" ”

After motioning for Yue Menghao to sit down, Liu Shi'an said: "Prices in the city have skyrocketed recently, you must have heard of it!" ”

Yue Menghao nodded, the prices in Luyang City have indeed risen sharply recently, even a person like him who doesn't care about housework can feel it.

Then Liu Shi'an said: "There must be those businessmen behind the ghosts, the meaning of the Luyang Mansion is to let us take care of this matter!" ”

Yue Menghao opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency should do this?" ”

Liu Shi'an nodded, and then said: "That's right, the government said that the grain merchants can be left to our disposal, which is not a small investment!" ”

In the past, Yue Menghao would have scoffed when he heard Liu Shi'an say silver, but now he realized the importance of silver.

Whether it is above or below, not to mention giving silver directly, it is a huge expense to invite guests to eat and set up a scene.

But at this time, Yue Menghao was worried: "My lord, the grain merchants are hateful, but if we wipe them out, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!" ”

Liu Shi'an nodded, and then said: "That's right, so you have to clean up a group of people and beat a part!" ”

The two immediately began to discuss what to do next, and on the other side, Xu Peifu also found Cheng Fangming.

Sitting in the study, sipping good hot tea, Cheng Fangming's life was not affected by soaring prices in the slightest.

But at this time, he was not in a good mood, because he had just read the latest report, and Lu Yang's case had tripled sharply after the price rise.

Theft, robbery, and fights occurred from time to time, which posed a great challenge to the law and order situation in Luyang.

This is a matter that affects political performance very much, so Cheng Fangming is very anxious now.

All he could do was to ask the officials to step up patrols and suppress them as soon as there were signs of a crime, but Cheng Fangming didn't know how effective this method was.

When Xu Peifu came back, Cheng Fangming immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Shi'an sat on the chair, took off his official hat and put it aside before saying, "Liu Shi'an has agreed!"

Hearing this, Cheng Fangming couldn't help but smile contemptuously and said: "The surname Liu only has money in his eyes, and he dares to do anything to make money!" ”

Xu Peifu nodded, and then said: "That's right, just said that the grain merchant was at his disposal, and Liu Shi'an agreed." ”

Ridicule is ridicule, but Cheng Fangming still affirmed: "Liu Shi'an can sit in the position of Jinyiwei to punish 100 households, his ability is still good, and it is not a problem to take down those grain merchants!"

Xu Peifu said: "Anyway, the wicked person is up to him, if Liu Shi'an does too much, the adult can also come out to say goodbye, and then those businessmen will thank the lord for your kindness!" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Fangming couldn't help laughing, no matter what, he was the final winner.

In a good mood, Cheng Fangming couldn't help but say: "I heard that the Wu family class rehearsed a new tune yesterday, and I will call them over to sing it later, you and I haven't drunk together for a long time!" ”

Xu Peifu said: "My lord has this Yaxing, and he should be accompanied by his humble duties!" ”
