Liu Yiming has been with Chu Mingxuan for several years, not to say that he has served since he was a child, but he has witnessed Chu Mingxuan's growth after the death of his master, because everyone in the Chu family gives him face, and the industries of the Chu family are even more. When the shopkeeper of the grain store heard that he came here to help Chu Mingxuan, he handed over the account books and asked the other party to check them.

When Liu Yiming carefully inspected the account books, the shopkeeper of the grain store cautiously asked, "Did Gongzi ever say when it will open?" ”

Since the start of the war, the Chu family's grain store has never opened, and the goods only enter and exit, and they are all hoarded in the warehouse. At first, the shopkeeper thought that Chu Mingxuan had ulterior motives, after all, who didn't know that the most scarce thing in the war was food, and even if he sold it during the gap between the soaring food prices, he could also have a lot of inputs!

Unexpectedly, they waited patiently for these days, but they never waited for the order to open, and now when they saw the person who checked the accounts, they couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yiming rolled his eyes while holding the account book: "This is something that the son should consider, what is the use of you asking me?" ”

"Doesn't this mean that you are a close confidant of Childe........"

The shopkeeper's words just spoke to Liu Yiming's heart, but as a subordinate, who doesn't want to be the most powerful one in the eyes of the master? The shopkeeper's words were very useful, and his expression eased slightly: "You don't need to inquire about the opening anymore, I'm afraid this store won't be able to open." Childe just gave an order not long ago, let me check the account books, and then send all the food to the barracks. ”

According to the market price, it is not a loss to sell grain to the official family.

The shopkeeper was calculating his little abacus in his heart, and before he had time to be happy, he heard Liu Yiming say, "It's free." ”

It's a real day of heaven!

The shopkeeper couldn't believe his ears, how could a stingy person like their son-in-law send food to the barracks for free, this, doesn't this mean to take sides? Isn't it that Gongzi has already made the decision to unconditionally support His Highness? The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and then he couldn't help but start doubting his ears: "Are you sure you heard it right?" Childe said it was given away for free? ”

"I'm sure you heard me right, you guys hurry up and get ready to go, I'll go back to the house and report to my son."

In the Chu family's mansion, Chu Mingxuan was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

Faintly hearing the messy footsteps outside, and those noisy sounds, he raised his eyelids,

Liu Yiming, a close confidant, hurriedly ran into the living room and reported anxiously: "Son, no, those elders heard that you were going to send food to the barracks for free, and they all blew up like firecrackers, and now they are coming in the direction of the hall!" They're menacing, do you want to dodge first? ”

Those elders of the Chu family are not fuel-efficient lamps, most of them are the sworn brothers of the old lady Chu during his lifetime, because they helped when they were in trouble, and all of them were taken special care of by the old lady. They relied on this level of relationship, relying on the old and selling the old in the Chu family's industry, and they were excessive, and even occupied part of the industry openly. In the past, Chu Mingxuan turned a blind eye and barely maintained the apparent peace, but now that the food matter broke out, they immediately couldn't contain it! Liu Yiming is afraid that those who don't know what to do will make trouble, and he is even more afraid that they will be too impulsive, and every light and serious injury on their hands will hurt their son!

Compared with Liu Yiming's nervousness and panic, Chu Mingxuan seemed very calm, and when he ordered his subordinates to go to the grain store to spread the word, he had already expected this situation.

He had already been mentally prepared in advance, so he was not in danger.

"This is my house, why should I hide from them? If you really want to think about it, it should be those unwelcome guests leaving. ”

Liu Yiming was surprised.

Although Childe does not want to see these people who rely on the old and sell the old, he has never made a mistake in the number of etiquette, which is also an important reason why the other party dares to entangle.

Today, the other party is menacing, but he did not panic at all, and even looked calm as if he was confident, indicating that he was really going to tear his face with those old guys today! You just need to stand and watch the play! Liu Yiming smiled gloatingly while thinking about it, I hope those people don't be too miserable by Gongzi, so as to leave a little face! After all, they are all half-cut into the ground!

Those people outside didn't know the twisting minds of the people inside, they just wanted to come to the door as soon as possible and ask Chu Mingxuan for an explanation. If all the grain in the commissary's stock is sent to the barracks, what good will they have? How could the Chu family do such a loss-making business!

They slowly walked through the door with a man in their arms.

The leader who was surrounded in the middle, surnamed Yang, is the sworn brother of the old man Chu, it is said that when he was young, the old man Chu was able to pick up a life, and took root in Jiangcheng, he made a lot of efforts, so the Chu family has always regarded him as an elder. Maybe it's because he's been too obedient over the years, he can't even figure out his identity, and he opens his mouth and closes his mouth to instruct, as if he really treats himself as an elder of the Chu family.

"Big nephew, what the hell is going on with you, you have to explain it to me today!"

He walked into the living room with righteous words, didn't even look at the expression on the master's face, walked to the position and sat down, and knocked the cane in his hand on the ground: "I've heard about the grain store, hey, I thought you were getting more and more measured, and you never worried about your affairs!" I never thought that your head would be so unclear, where can businessmen like us interfere in national affairs? You're confused, too! ”

He looked so distressed, and he really thought he was Chu Mingxuan's father if he didn't know.

Chu Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and stood up from his position with a smile: "Uncle, you don't need to interfere in this matter, you are a lot older, let's go back and have a good rest, don't accidentally tire your body." Have you forgotten how my father walked? ”

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and a flash of shock flashed in their eyes.

They knew that Chu Mingxuan had been dissatisfied with them for a long time, but it was the first time that he had been so straightforward as today, and in the past, he would not say much about his face! I didn't expect that now my temperament has suddenly changed!

It must be those nobles in the Taishou Mansion, with their backing, Chu Mingxuan will be so bold!

Yang Bo's face turned pale, and the hand holding the crutches trembled slightly, looking like he might be out of breath at any time: "You, you....... It's true that the older you get, the more you don't understand the rules, if it weren't for the fact that you don't make a big mistake, why would I come? I didn't expect you to be so ignorant! ”

A hoarse voice came out of his mouth, and everyone hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle Yang, you have to calm down!" ”

"Chu Mingxuan, how can you curse the old man? Do you know how much effort Yang Bo has spent for the Chu family over the years, and how much effort he has spent for you? You are so ungrateful! ”

Some people started first, and more people answered, and they all accused Chu Mingxuan of disrespecting the elderly, while Yang Bo leaned back in his chair and coughed one after another.

What they didn't know was that Chu Mingxuan's patience had reached the extreme at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that the key person hadn't come yet, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to suppress his anger a long time ago, and patiently listened to these people finish the words of reprimand one by one, Chu Mingxuan finally heard a familiar footstep, and said with a smile: "The elders want to point at me, and they're all finished, right?" Now it's my turn, right? ”

As he spoke, his dark black pupils moved, and a chill flashed, like a cold wind blowing from behind, making people feel cold all over his body.

The less timid ones have already taken two steps back, and the bold ones have stepped forward: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chu Mingxuan raised a finger and said with a complicated expression: "First, this is the property of my Chu family, as the ruler of the Chu family, I can dispose of it like this if I want to, and I can't tolerate outsiders talking too much!" ”

As soon as the word outsider came out, everyone seemed to have blown up the nest, and Yang Bo, who was looking at it just now, was particularly excited, and his crutches slammed on the floor, and he said angrily: "Chu Mingxuan, I see that your heart and liver have been taken away by wolves, and such a big rebellious thing can be said!" We're your uncle! ”

"Yes, your father and we are brothers, why do you treat us as outsiders?"

Chu Mingxuan sneered: "Uncle? Hehe, dare to ask all of you present who are related to my Chu family? Even if you sue the court today, you are not qualified to point fingers at my Chu family! In the past, when my father was still there, I respected you for three points, but now that my father has passed away, if you kick your nose in the face again, I am not welcome. Steward, bring someone in! ”

With an order, the steward had already led a dozen strong men dressed in black to rush into the mansion, each with sticks in their hands, staring at these flirtatious people with fierce looks, as if they might rush forward at any moment and press them to the ground and beat them.

Where had those people seen this kind of battle, and their faces turned white: "Do you still want to do it?" ”

Uncle Yang's cheeks were flushed, he slapped his chest hard, and said in a hoarse tone: "You heartless little brute, if you have a kind, you will kill me!" So that I may go to your father under the Nine Springs, and sue you!" He had high expectations for you, the only son, when he was alive, and if he knew what you looked like today, I am afraid that he would be so angry that Jiuquan would be restless! ”

"Uncle Yang, you're really joking." Although Chu Mingxuan had a smile on his face, but if he looked closely, the smile never spread to his eyes at all, "Actually, my father told me about this before he died. ”

"What did he say? Doesn't it make you respect—"

"My father said that if the uncles force people too much, I don't have to scruple, after all, the person who befriended the uncles is him, not me, and there is no blood relationship, and everything is important to the Chu family. If the uncles don't believe me, I still have a suicide note to prove it, and I will immediately order someone to pick it up. The uncles waited in the hall for a moment. With that, he glanced at Liu Yiming next to him, who understood, and rushed outside in three steps and two steps.
