Xu Shuo's face changed greatly, so he stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and hurriedly went out. Standing at the door, he shouted at the south gate, "Vigorously, come quickly." ”

Liu Tong heard heavy footsteps outside the door and ran over.

"Dali, you tell the guys to stop doing it, go back, bolt the courtyard door."

"Holo." Xu Dali said, and Liu Tong heard the footsteps gradually disappearing.

"Luo Gongzi", Xu Shuo rushed to Liu when he entered the door.

came to the side and said: "Young Master Luo, this Xu Zhen is the nephew of Taishou, and now in the army, Dong Sanlin is the brother of Taishou's concubine, and the two are bullies of the Zi family. ”

Xu Shuo saw that Liu Tong didn't think so, and he didn't panic, knowing that Liu Tong didn't know much about the situation between the two, and said:

"The emperor of the Zi clan is far away, and he is too protective to cover the sky with one hand, they are not only using the construction of the ancestral temple to loot money, but also the bully of the Zi clan, that Xu Zhen is now the commander of the Zi clan's guard, offending them, but the family will be ruined."

Xu Shuo saw Liu Tong looking at him with a slight smile, and didn't know how to persuade him, so he retreated to the main seat and paused.

"Boss Xu, you're also a little timid! If they dare to be disrespectful to my son-in-law, I will let them all fall to the ground. ”

Wu Ji slapped the coffee table and drank. But this time he had learned the lesson before, but he didn't push too hard, and the sound of the coffee table was louder.

Liu informed Xu Shuo that it was one thing to worry about himself, but more importantly, he was afraid that his living here would bring him trouble.

"Boss Xu, don't worry, I'll rest for the night tonight, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Liu Tong was relieved.

"This-Luo Gongzi, it's not like that, it's just that you have offended these bullies, you need to be careful."

Xu Shuo was originally a warm-hearted person, and he had long suspected that Liu Tong's identity was not ordinary, but now he was relieved to hear him leave early tomorrow morning.

"Come with me, everyone, I'll take a few of you to the room to wash up and rest, and dinner will be fine later."

Liu Tong got up and motioned to Wu Ji with his eyes, and Wu Ji hurriedly took out the usual money from the package he had been carrying with him to hand it to Xu Shuo.

"Childe also looks down on Xu too much." Xu Shuo said and pushed out angrily.

Wu Ji saw Liu Tong nodding, so he stopped insisting, put the money back in the package and followed Xu Shuo to the room in the north.

Xu Shuo arranged Liu Tong and the others and went to arrange dinner. Liu Tong has a single house, although there are not many furniture, but it is also clean and tidy, Hongli and Dong Xiaonan live in one, and Wu Ji, Liu Si, and Luo Tie live in one. Xu Shuo originally wanted to give each of them one, but Liu Si refused.

After washing his face, Liu Tong looked through the cover, although it was not new, it was quite clean. Liu Tong just lay down on the quilt for a while, and Xu Shuo came with the stocky young man named Xu Dali.

"Master Luo, you're too bold, aren't you? Even if you beat someone, you also robbed Xinglou? That's Uncle Zhen's industry! Vigorously, you can talk about it. ”

Xu Shuo saw that Liu Tong's face was light, and he really felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry, so he stomped his feet and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yes, Childe, I went to close the door and saw a large group of sergeants passing by in front of the door. I heard from the neighbors that in the afternoon, it was Dong Sanye's subordinates who were looking for people who beat them in the city inn, this time it was said that someone had robbed the apricot building and took away the girl inside. ”

Liu Tong saw that Xu Dali was honest and concerned, and didn't want him to worry too much, so he said with a smile: "Brother Dali, don't worry, we are good people, and we have never done anything that hurts nature and reason, violates laws and disciplines." ”

"That's, that's." Xu Dali smiled innocently and withdrew.

Liu Tong saw that Xu Shuo was still worried, and he didn't want to hide it.

"Boss Xu, the girl in the apricot building, called Dong Xiaonan, is the young lady of the Dong family on Xianshui Street in the north of the city, her parents were killed, and the family property was robbed, and she was also sold to the Qinglou, I brought her out when I saw that the road was uneven."

Xu Shuo got up, "But the young lady of Dong Yu Dong's family?" ”

Liu Tong didn't know Dong Xiaonan's father's name, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Shuo added: "It is Dong Shanren who was occupied by the house and demolished to build the Five Elements True Ancestral Hall. ”

Liu Tong was sure that Xu Shuo was right at this time, "Boss Xu knows this person?" ”

"Hey, Dong Yu has no heirs to inherit the incense, but he has done a lot of good deeds in the past ten years, and no one knows about the ruined things of his family. The girl holding the pipa just now is his daughter? ”

Xu Shuo saw Liu Tong nodding, and then said: "The son is arrogant and dry, and he is promising, he is really a big husband!" This Zi clan three tyrants have to have someone like Gongzi to clean up! ”

"Well, how can there be a three-tyrant? Isn't it only Xu Zhen and Dong Sanlin? ”

"Childe doesn't know, that Xu Zhen also has an elder brother, named Xu Li, who generally does not come forward, and has a very feminine temperament, not like the other two who are arrogant and domineering, but in the name of business, secretly use means, but he is a real master who eats people and does not spit out bones. Many merchants in Xihe were knocked out by him in the process of doing business with him, but they had to do it with him! ”

"Another example is Dong Yu's house, the government received it, he bought it at a low price, but sold it to the government at a high price to change the ancestral temple, the demolition is an income, and the stone, wood and other building materials obtained from the demolition are sold to the government to build the ancestral temple is another income, and the construction of all the ancestral temples, several times the profit, is really profitable!"

"Are the officials of Xihe County just going to let them come here?" Liu Tong never thought that under Liu Kuan's rule, there would be such a dark place, forcibly suppressing his anger.

"This Xihe County official is said to be either a person who guards Nanyang's hometown, or the old department of Xu Taishou in the Yuan Shao period, and a few people who are not in the same stream do not dare to speak out.

"Isn't there anyone in Xihe County who understands? Isn't there an official who is in charge of the people? ”

Xu Shuo saw Liu Tong looking directly at him, as if he was scolding him, and the majesty made him a little flustered, with an invisible sense of oppression.

"Ahem", Xu Shuo didn't say it yet, but he seemed to be choked by the words, and he finally said it.

"There are also those who understand a little, that Lishi County ordered Xun Zhen Xunzi to do it, although he is old, he is still sympathetic to the people. always argues with Xu Taishou, although the results are not great, but he also tries his best. Nowadays, Lishi is a relatively stable place in the West River. Whenever Lord Taishou had an apportionment, he pretended to listen to the fork, and he disobeyed the yin and yang, either talking nonsense or pretending to be sick. It is said that his family is quite powerful, but Taishou has no way to take him. ”

As soon as Liu Tong heard this, the fat old man with a confused face like a dog skin plaster appeared in his mind, and he immediately lost seven points of credibility to Xu Shuo's words, and he also lost interest in this topic, this Xihe County seems to be really rotten.

In a huge Xihe County, the best official Xu Shuo admired turned out to be the one who annoyed him, was confused all day long, chattered in his ear, said trivial things, and didn't know why. If it weren't for the fact that he was Xun Yu's brother, maybe he would have dragged him down to play the board when he was away from Shixian Ya. It can be seen what has become of this West River.

Okay, you're a Xu Ziyuan, don't you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth? Just let you go to the side to serve and reflect on yourself, you will break the jar, do not think about your own faults, but resentful, completely uninhibited, and blatantly accumulate wealth!

Xu Shuo saw that Liu Tong was distracted, got up and said, "Son, let's go to dinner, the kitchen should be ready." ”

Liu Tong really felt hungry, so he followed.

After a while, Xu Shuo called several people out and went to eat together. At this time, Liu Tong knew that Xu Shuo's house was in the south of the city, and this backyard was generally lived by guys and merchants, and the guys were sent home by him tonight, and the rest was Xu Dali and his sister, and it was this woman who served tea, poured water and cooked.

Xu Dali and his sister were eating in the kitchen, and Xu Shuo accompanied Liu Tong and others to eat in the hall.

Seeing Dong Xiaonan, Xu Shuo couldn't help sighing, and also talked about the bits and pieces of his relationship with her father Dong Yu, both of them are businessmen of the Zi family, and it is strange that they do not interact with each other, and they have no business contacts.

Dong Xiaonan couldn't help crying when he heard the details Xu Shuo talked about, Xu Shuo also sighed, everyone was in a heavy mood and had a poor appetite.

Suddenly, there was a noise of people and horses outside the courtyard, and the firelight brightened the sky above the courtyard, and with a squeak, Xu vigorously pushed open the hidden wooden door, and shouted inside:

"Master, it's no good, the officers and soldiers have surrounded us here!"
