The moon slave went out and welcomed Yu Hongye into the compound, but Yu Hongye refused to come to the main hall to meet people. At first, everyone thought that she was out of the habits of a businessman and the reserved nature of a woman, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Later, Yue Nu returned to the main hall, and when Xue Shao saw the faint anger on her face, he already knew in his heart that Yu Hongye came in the rain this time, and something must have happened.

The moon slave has always been a person who can't hide things in his heart.

Xue Shao didn't ask much, first accompanied his sister-in-law and demon and others to have a warm family banquet, and asked the moon slave to entertain Yu Hongye in the side hall. After the banquet, Xue Shao asked Yuenu to invite Yu Hongye to the study to talk.

The first time he saw Yu Hongye, Xue Shao was shocked.

In the past, Yu Hongye, although not to say that the fish and geese closed the moon and shy flowers, was always a light and free, friendly and capable image, quite a bit of the style of a great beauty in the workplace in the 21st century. Seeing her today, she is like a remnant flower after autumn, with listlessness, dry skin, and even her eyes are a little hollow and scattered, as if she has just had a serious illness, and it seems that she has suffered a catastrophe, and she will live for the rest of her life after the catastrophe.

One of her arms was still hanging from her neck in a bandage, and she was struggling to walk.

"What's going on?" Xue Shao got up abruptly and asked in surprise.

"Momiji meets Childe!" Yu Hongye's eyes immediately turned red, and he couldn't stand on his knees.

"Get up and speak." Xue Shao stepped forward to help her up personally, and Yue Nu hurriedly helped bring a comfortable chair to help her sit down.

Yu Hongye hid her face and sobbed, unable to help herself.

Xue Shao's eyebrows tightened and he took a deep breath, "Yue Nu, you say!" ”

"It's okay, I'll say it myself!" Yu Hongye wiped a handful of tears, her red eyes and her expression was very stubborn.

Yuenu nodded silently, "I'll go and guard the door." ”

Xue Shao moved his chair to sit opposite Yu Hongye, and the moon slave went out to cover the door.

"What's going on, I'll listen?" Xue Shao asked calmly.

Yu Hongye nodded, but avoided Xue Shao's eyes, as if he didn't want him to see his embarrassed appearance, and said slowly.

About two or three months ago, around the time when Xue Shao was dealing with the case of merging the state, Yu Hongye's business in the palace was doing well and making a lot of money. At this time, something happened that could be big or small, and outsiders didn't know much, that is, Princess Taiping knew that Xue Shao had raised a "foreign house" in Bingzhou and sent Yang Siqiao to do things in Bingzhou.

Less than three days after this incident, the eunuch who had been in charge of purchasing in the palace suddenly told Yu Hongye that he would no longer cooperate with her from now on, and he did not give any reason. Yu Hongye was surprised, but she was helpless, after all, Xue Shao was not in Chang'an, and the affairs in the palace were not something that she, a businesswoman, could ask about or bargain about. In desperation, Yu Hongye had no choice but to temporarily end the business in the palace, and was ready to transfer more supply shops to the palace store for wholesale sales.

As a result, two days later, the landlord owner of Yu Hongye's rental came with the county officials who managed the store to take back the store. The landlord not only tore up the previous contract, but also denied that Yu Hongye had been in arrears for half a year's rent and had not paid it, and the business officials were one-sided, where could Yu Hongye parry?

On the same day, Yu Hongye reluctantly paid an extra rent and fine, and then was forced to give up the two mansions she had rented before, and the hundreds of workers and a large number of goods in the workshop were all piled up in a small mansion of her own, and she couldn't stretch out at all.

In desperation, Yu Hongye could only transfer the workshop to Lantian County, the former residence of Xue Shao.

It turned out that after Yu Hongye took over Xue Shao's Lantian Former Residence, perhaps out of business acumen and wanted to sell it at a better price in the future, or for other reasons, she actually did not immediately resell Xue Shao's former residence.

The social status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty was not high, and it was common for them to be suppressed by their peers, and these Yu Hongye had experienced it more than once, so they didn't care very much. I didn't expect that a few days after the workshop moved over, a local gentleman known as "Zheng Kunlun" came to Yu Hongye's house and threatened to buy this house.

Of course, Yu Hongye refused to sell, so he politely refused. Unexpectedly, Zheng Kunlun threw down a box of silk and walked away, claiming that he would come to collect the house three days later.

Xue Shao's former residence is very large and luxurious, how can it be bought with a box of silk silk? Zheng Kunlun's behavior is not just a forced purchase and sale, it is simply no different from robbery. Therefore, Yu Hongye angrily sued the government, and the government also accepted the paper, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea without any response.

Three days later, Zheng Kunlun took dozens of market hooligans known as "rangers" and village wild splashes to Yu Hongye Gate to collect the house. Yu Hongye led the workers to stop him, Zheng Kunlun shouted, and those hooligans began to beat people!

In the chaos, Yu Hongye and the others were all seriously injured and fainted, and countless other injured workers and men were injured or even disabled. Zheng Kunlun asked these hooligans to forcibly drag Yu Hongye and others out of the house, and burned Xue Shao's former residence to the ground!

That's not all, when the fire broke out, people from Lantian County rushed over, and Zheng Kunlun bit back and said that Yu Hongye violated the contract to extort and set fire. Yu Hongye and more than 30 others were dragged into prison for more than a month, and each of them suffered a lot of whipping and punishment!

It wasn't until three days ago, on the eve of Xue Shao's return to Chang'an, that Yu Hongye and her men were released, and several workers were tortured and disabled in prison. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Hongye had made some good friends before, and I heard that she spent money hard after she was imprisoned, what kind of inhuman torture Yu Hongye would have suffered in the prison and whether she could get out alive was unknown!

Listening to Yu Hongye say these things, Xue Shao felt that the anger in his heart was constantly rising, and it had gradually become a prairie fire, like a volcanic eruption!

But what Yu Hongye saw was Xue Shao still smiling and soft-spoken to comfort her.

After listening to her, Xue Shao only said, "I'm back, leave everything to me."

Ten words, making Yu Hongye feel that the dark world in his heart has completely collapsed, and a glimmer of hope has reappeared. She was like a person who had fallen into the water floating in the torrent of a flood, and Mu Ran saw a solid ship come to her rescue.

Yu Hongye couldn't restrain herself anymore and cried bitterly.

Xue Shao felt a little self-reproachful in his heart, because he knew that Yu Hongye was suppressed and tortured by these things, not only because of business competition, but also because of the political enemies he had set up to take revenge on the periphery. Yu Hongye is a diligent businessman, if she hadn't pulled her to start the palace business and had a relationship with the official, how could she suffer such an unwarranted disaster?

Xue Shao walked to Yu Hongye's side and patted her shoulder gently, comforting her softly, "Don't think about anything, take care of your body with peace of mind first." ”

"Childe, Momiji is incompetent! In order to rescue those guys who were trapped in prison, treat their injuries and diseases, and settle down afterwards, I lost all the money I had earned before, and even sold the mansion that my father handed down at a low price! The long-suppressed emotions in Yu Hongye's heart poured out like a flood, and she cried bitterly while saying, "Hongye is sorry for Childe!" Not only did I earn a penny for my son, but I also caused so many troubles for my son! ”

After saying that, Yu Hongye knelt on the ground and kowtowed bitterly.

"Get up!"

Xue Shao used a bit of strength to forcibly pull Yu Hongye up from the ground and stand up straight. Looking at her red and tearful eyes, Xue Shao still smiled and said softly: "The money is gone, you can make it." People are still there, that's it! ”

Yu Hongye could no longer hold herself, and threw herself into Xue Shao's arms and cried loudly.

Xue Shao hugged her and patted her back softly to comfort her.

The heart, like a volcano erupting, is destroying the world!

……

That night, it was still a violent storm and rain, and the water of the Qujiang River, which was originally peaceful and slow, also rushed and roared, just like the angry warrior's heart under Xue Shao's peaceful appearance.

A fast horse galloped in the wind and rain and rushed directly into the Xue Mansion. The person who came threw off the hat and didn't have time to change clothes, and entered Xue Shao's study with dripping water.

"Xue Gongzi urgently summoned me, what's the matter?"

Come on, supervise the imperial history Wei Yuanzhong!

"Brother Wei came so quickly, thank you for your hard work!" Xue Shao hurriedly said, "Please change your clothes first and sit down for a while!" ”

Wei Yuanzhong didn't ask much, and the servant took him to change his clothes.

But a moment later, another donkey cart staggered over, and a rich fat man climbed down from the donkey cart, who also ran into Xue Shao's study in a hurry, and fell head-on.

"The villain is late, the son forgives the sins!"

Coming, the eunuch in the palace, Zhu Bajie.

"You're so stupid, you're really tired of it!" Xue Shao shouted angrily.

Zhu Bajie was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he was covered in chaff, "The son spares his life, but the villain doesn't know...... What offended Childe? ”

"Let me ask you first, you come to me, does Princess Taiping know about Lu Dao?" Xue Shao asked in a deep voice.

"The son was secretly summoned, and the villain didn't dare to alarm anyone, but quietly drove the donkey cart out of the palace!" Zhu Bajie replied in a panic.

"Then you can get up and talk!" Xue Shao's voice was still fierce.

"The villain doesn't dare!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Bajie hurriedly got up, his face was a little pale, and he stood aside with his hands hanging down tremblingly.

Xue Shao walked up to him and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you first, what is the matter with Yu Hongye's business in the palace?" ”

As soon as Zhu Bajie heard this, he cried aggrieved and depressed on the spot, and said: "Son-in-law Mingjian, the villain is also having a headache about this matter!" ”

"How?"

Zhu Bajie hurriedly replied: "Previously, the villain was ordered to go to the state and annex the state, and someone in the palace cut off Yu Hongye's business. Don't tell lies in front of real people, this not only cuts off the son's financial road, but also breaks the villain's financial road! What's more important is that it is clearly slapping people's ears in public! It doesn't matter if the villain has rough skin and rough meat, the prince Tiangong is noble......"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and say it!" Xue Shao was a little impatient.

In the past, Xue Shao had always been kind and pleasant to the people around Princess Taiping, but today he was full of anger and even a little murderous, which made Zhu Bajie shiver coldly. He hurriedly concluded with a simple sentence -

"Everything is the instigation of Wu Youning, a member of the Zhongshu House! …… Villain, your arms can't twist your thighs! ”

"It's him again!" Xue Shao took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath.

- It's tolerable, it's unbearable!!
