Xu Gazi knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed three times in a row and said: "Adult, the villain is doing this completely for the sake of adults!" Now that the war is getting tighter and tighter, and the grain water is rising, what used to be able to buy one stone can now only buy half a stone. The eldest brother was embarrassed to ask the adults for money, and every time he paid for the difference. It's just one or two times, and if you continue like this twice or three times, there will always be a day when it will be difficult to continue. “

Xu Gazi stole a glance at Xu Xiancheng, and saw that although Xu Xiancheng's face was expressionless, he was not as ruthless as before, so he felt a little at ease, and continued to explain that he would be a shoddy bastard brother, and he became a good brother who was dedicated to his brother.

Xu Xiancheng looked at Steward Xu suspiciously, Steward Xu nodded firmly, attached his ear to Xu Xiancheng's ear, and said softly: "My lord, Xu Gazi is right, in the past two months, the price of grain has risen a lot, and the silver we buy grain does not rise but falls, and our family is the only one in the entire Jiangyang County." “

Speaking of this, Steward Xu has to praise a lot of big fingers, and the good grain is mixed with impurities, and the people complain while picking out the stone slag, not picking it all, occasionally eating and biting the stone slag, biting a mouthful of lime soil, which completely affects the appetite, which is still in the mood to continue to eat? It's strange if you don't save this food.

After many explanations were clear, Xu Xiancheng nodded appreciatively and said: "You are a caring person, you help the second brother in everything, and I am relieved to have you with the second brother." I heard that the second brother occasionally had a cold, so I went to see him. “

Xu Gazi's eyes were slightly flustered, and he hurriedly saluted: "My lord, the eldest brother has a cold, Steward Xu has seen it personally, if he gives the illness to the adult, it is a thousand sins, and when the eldest brother's illness is better, it is not too late to come and see him again." “

Xu Xiancheng didn't insist on going, nodded firmly and said, "Okay, you take good care of the second brother, I'll go to see him again in a few days." “

Many gave salutes and ran away like smoke, like a pack of dogs chasing rabbits behind them.

Xu Xiancheng looked at many backs, and after a long time, he picked up a slightly larger stone from the ground, put it in his mouth and chewed it again, the chewing tongue was numb, the skin was worn out, and blood oozed out.

After Steward Xu, who sent Xu Gazi away, came back, he saw Xu Xiancheng who was like a demon, and hurriedly ran to Xu Xiancheng's body, pulling Xu Xiancheng, who was about to fill his mouth with stone slag, and said, "My lord, what are you doing?" Don't scare the old slave. “

At this time, Xu Xiancheng was lying on the ground, and where was there an image in front of everyone, a complete image of a mad demon.

Xu Xiancheng spit out the residue in his mouth, his eyes were fixed on Steward Xu, and he was even calmer than before, and replied indifferently: "Don't panic, I'm not crazy, I'm not stupid, the official just wants to know, how can the stone slag that Xiao San cherishes sieved out so much, how can it be an ordinary stone slag?" There is also that Xu Gazi, who is dodging and dodging, obviously hiding something.

Xu Xiancheng's eyes were like ink and said: "Butler, you now, immediately, immediately go to find someone, whether it is a blacksmith, a bricklayer, or a mason, all of them will be found for me, and I will distinguish what kind of scum this scum is, so that everyone can talk about it." “

Steward Xu replied "promise", and before he could retreat, he was stopped by Xu Xiancheng again, and carefully admonished: "Find someone to keep an eye on the other courtyard to see if many of them really have a cold." “

Xu Xiancheng and many have the blood of Mrs. Xu on their bodies, and they are each other's mirrors, so Xu Xiancheng can almost be sure, many, there is no wind cold at all, but it is just a way for him to avoid misfortune, similar to a turtle with a shrunken head.

At noon, when he was taking a nap, Xu Xiancheng was noisy by a violent knock on the door, opened the door, and Steward Xu ran in in a panic, wanting to speak, lest the partition wall have ears, he looked around cautiously, turned around exaggeratedly and closed the door tightly, and even the bolt fell.

This move caused Xu Xiancheng to also become nervous, and lowered his voice and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" “

Steward Xu lowered his voice and said, "My lord, it's not good!" Disaster is coming!! “

"Disaster is coming?!" Xu Xiancheng's brows tightened.

Where does Steward Xu care if Xu Xiancheng can accept it, like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, he will inquire about the things he heard, and he will talk about it to Xu Xiancheng and others in 1510,

After Xu Gazi returned home, he untied the ropes of the five people, and Tie Zhu told Xu Gazi what had happened.

The careful Xu Gazi soon discovered a burden that the Cai brothers threw down before leaving.

When I opened the baggage, I was stunned to find that the bread in the baggage was not gold, not silver, but a few large stones, and carefully smeared a layer of lime on it.

Xu Gazi frowned for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh suddenly, and said with great annoyance: "This is by no means a simple transfer of the tiger from the mountain, this is a false accusation, this stone, there must be something greasy in it." “

Xu Gazi didn't have time to think about the relationship, so he directly threw the cloth bag to Tie Zhu and said: "Quick, throw this cloth bag away, the farther away from home, the better." “

Tie Zhu agreed, his steps were hurried, and he sneakily drilled out of the Xu family's courtyard, walked around the street for a long time, and finally threw the stone into the land temple, and pressed the feet of the land grandfather.

As soon as the iron pillar left, a figure fell, and the stone was carried on his back again, and the direction of going back was not the Xu family's courtyard, but the real Xu Mansion.

Xu Mansion, Xu County Cheng looked at the stone in front of him with compassion, and the cold sweat all over his body continued to seep out along the pores.

The craftsman found by Steward Xu has already measured it, and this stone is a stone from an iron mine, although it is the outermost stone, and the iron content is not high, but it is enough for the private collector to cut off his head.

The gravel residue mixed in the rice is of the same composition as the big stone, and it is not bad at all.

The more Xu Xiancheng thought about it, the more pale his face became.

Iron is strictly forbidden to be privately mined, and the salt and iron division ration is a thing, and now it has been searched out by Xiao San at home, and he can't tell the difference, I'm afraid that if it's really as the housekeeper said, it's really a big disaster.

The only way to save himself is to let Xiao Yi suppress this matter and calm things down.

Xu Xiancheng was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead was sweating, and he always felt that Xiao San's drunkard did not mean to drink, otherwise when he found out, he would have buttoned up this hat that could not be turned over.

What does Xiao San want? Is it really as he said, is it purely for those bandits?

Xu Xiancheng said to the housekeeper with a gloomy face: "Go and find Xu Gazi, I want to ask, what other rebellious things did they do behind my back?" ”

Steward Xu hurriedly stopped: "My lord, don't be impulsive!" Steward Xu looked panicked, according to his understanding of Xu Gazi, this guy is a cheetah, he likes to hide in the dark, and swallow you whole in the cold.
