Li Niang also specially accentuated the word fox, gritting her teeth.

"If you force it, it will hurt the harmony of the court, how can the household department do these thankless things, so the emperor naturally handed over all this offending thing to you."

Wei Xiuyuan said with a wave of his hand.

I was not afraid of offending people, so I went directly to them to get the money back.

Li Niang shook her head.

"Even if you ask for it directly, they won't give it to you, it's just that you don't have money, you're too poor, or you can give it later, such a reason to shirk, they deliberately shirk it, so what should you do, you are not the emperor, and you can't directly copy their home."

Hearing Li Niang say this, Wei Xiuyuan was immediately deflated, but he didn't expect that he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to serve the court, but he met such an emperor, and such an environment really made him a little indignant.

So he said fiercely.

"Lu Li, I think you should really think about what Li Niang said, if our Donglan Kingdom is tossed by our emperor like this, sooner or later the country will be destroyed."

Hearing Wei Xiuyuan say such things, Xiao Man immediately made a look, signaling him to be vigilant, you must know that now in Shangjing, it is very likely that the wall has ears, and their every move will be noticed all the time, how could Wei Xiuyuan say such things so carelessly.

Wei Xiuyuan also knew that he was too reckless, so he immediately closed his mouth, but these words seemed to take root in Lu Li's heart, he had never felt that he had such a wild letter before, and now whenever he heard Wei Xiuyuan and Li Niang say the same thing to himself, he always felt itchy in his heart, as if his blood was about to start boiling.

In the past few days, he has often dreamed that he has ascended to the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he doesn't know whether he wants to be it, or whether Li Niang and Wei Xiuyuan are too powerful, or he already has such a desire, but he was too pressed by the dogma of his ancestors to serve the country with loyalty, so that his ambition was not exposed.

But no matter what, it is too early for him to ascend to the throne now, and it is most important to help Wei Xiuyuan solve the matter of how he recovers the treasury silver of the household department.

Wei Xiuyuan's mind was empty, and he naturally asked Su Xiaoman and Li Niang for help, to say that these two people are also heroes among women, and they have helped him solve so many troubles, and he admires them very much in his heart.

"Xiaoman, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Xiao Man lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Now all the civil and military officials should know that Xiu Yuan will preside over the matter of recovering the treasury of the household department this time, rather than letting Xiu Yuan take action first, it is better to see what kind of actions they have, so that it may be more prudent to respond to all changes with no change.

"I think, Xiuyuan, don't be too anxious, those officials who have signed the IOU of the Ministry of Households, they will definitely be more anxious than you, you go and see what kind of means they will use to prevent you from recovering the silver, and then we will break them one by one and wipe them out!"

After saying this, Xiaoman felt that she was a little noisy, after all, this real military advisor should be Li Niang, so she blushed and said to Li Niang timidly.

"Liniang senior, I'm sorry, didn't I say too much."

Liniang shook her head, Xiao Man did this to suit her heart, how could she blame Xiao Man.

"It's okay, what you just said is very good, I also want Lord Wei to calm down first, see what those people are going to do, and then come up with a way to deal with them."

So Wei Xiuyuan listened to Su Xiaoman and Li Niang, and didn't take any action, his quiet way in Shangjing made all the officials in Shangjing anxious, and I don't know what Wei Xiuyuan thought of in his heart to deal with them, these officials all scratched their ears and cheeks, and they didn't dare to ask directly in front of Wei Xiuyuan.

So at this time, Lord Liu's door rails were broken, and they also knew that Lord Liu borrowed the most money from the household, and if Lord Liu said that he wanted to pay it back, they would naturally follow, but Lord Liu had no intention of paying it back, it seemed that he was going to war with Wei Xiuyuan, since Lord Liu didn't pay back, why should they be this good person in vain.

So they all asked Lord Liu what he should do next, and how to teach Wei Xiuyuan a good lesson.

Lord Liu is naturally scheming, naturally not in a hurry, seeing so many officials come to his mansion to ask him, he also felt a little impatient, so he uniformly asked his subordinates to report the news, he was going to set up a table of feasts, and invited Wei Xiuyuan.

At the banquet, the officials who borrowed the silver taels from the household department were also called, and when everyone sat at the same table, when they were eating, it was naturally the best time to speak, and many of the officials who borrowed the silver were more suitable for Wei Xiuyuan, including his predecessors and his teachers, so he didn't believe that Wei Xiuyuan was so iron-faced and selfless, and he didn't look at face at all.

After Wei Xiuyuan said this request for a banquet, he naturally felt gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect Lord Liu to be so bold and openly want to use such a banquet to buy him.

But he, Wei Xiuyuan, is definitely not the kind of person who can be bought, so he is ready to go to the appointment at this time, seeing that Wei Xiuyuan is going to the appointment, Li Niang is still a little worried, to say that Wei Xiuyuan's temper is really a little irritable, if he quarrels with these officials at the banquet, isn't it just a startling snake.

She naturally hoped that Lu Li's calm personality could follow Wei Xiuyuan, but Lu Li's identity was not able to see people, which made Liniang difficult for a while.

Seeing that Li Niang wanted Lu Li to follow, but couldn't reveal her true identity, Xiao Man pondered for a while, and immediately thought of Ah Yue, you must know that Ah Yue's disguise technique can't be said to be supernatural, but it is enough to deceive ordinary people.

So Ah Yue followed the bamboo dye that she had taught, and made a human-skin-mask-mask, and put it on Lu Li's face, Lu Li changed into Wei Xiuyuan's little guy at this time, and followed Wei Xiuyuan's side, to say that this Ah Yue's person-skin-mask-mask is indeed not at all able to see Lu Li's original appearance, but the craftsmanship of this production is much worse than that of bamboo dyeing.

This mask is very breathless, it almost makes Lu Li sweat, Lu Li sighed and asked.

"Ah Yue, I said that you can't do a better job as a person-skin-mask-mask?"

Ah Yue pouted.

"What can I do, I can't find the right materials now, and my craftsmanship is indeed not as good as my master, so you can take it with you."

Xiao Man smiled lightly, fortunately, it was almost summer now, the weather was gradually getting warmer, and Lu Li was sweating so much, but he would not be suspected.

Lu Li sighed, although he said that he would not doubt it, but with such a hot mask, it was really uncomfortable.

Xiu Yuan and Lu Li, the two buddies, left the house together and came to Lord Liu's banquet, and when they arrived at Yanhui, Lord Liu was naturally very well prepared, and did not start the banquet immediately, but invited a few dancing girls from the Western Regions.

Seeing the dancing girls of the Western Regions, twisting their bodies and playing the pipa, they looked full of amorous feelings, Lu Li felt even more uncomfortable, to say that how could this dancing girl in the Western Regions be enjoyed by an official like Lord Liu, and I don't know what kind of hand he used, Duan was able to find so many dancing girls from the Western Regions in his own house.

In the homes of high-ranking officials, it is the time of singing and dancing, but in the homes of civilians, there is no food, and I don't know when such a day will be the end in Donglan Kingdom.

After listening to the song and dancing the dance, Lord Liu invited everyone to the table, looking at the table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, these officials were in a much more relaxed mood at that time.

Today, I invite all my colleagues to come and get together, especially our Lord Wei, who has just returned from Yangzhou, so we naturally want to prepare some wine banquets to catch him up. ’

Wei Xiuyuan naturally smiled happily on his face, but he despised such a person very much in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that there was a person at this dinner table that he didn't expect, and he only saw his brother-in-law sitting opposite Wei Xiuyuan.

His brother-in-law can sit here, which naturally means that he has also borrowed money from the household, Wei Xiuyuan really didn't expect that his father-in-law is such a noble and honest person, and the Xia Wanrou who taught him is also so gentle and virtuous, and he has never done such a bad thing.

After this brother-in-law came to Beijing, he actually colluded with these officials in Beijing, and now he actually borrowed money from the household department, which made him very angry in his heart, so he asked directly to the brother-in-law.

"Xia Dong, why are you here!"

Xia Dong questioned his brother-in-law this time, naturally he was a little scared, to say that he didn't borrow much silver from the household, but a few days ago in the land of fireworks, a little bit of a big expense, a little bit of turnover, so he listened to Lord Liu's suggestion and paid a little silver from the household.

To say that this month, he can also exchange the silver, but Lord Liu wants to arrest him and eat with his brother-in-law, and when he sees his brother-in-law's eyes, he himself feels embarrassed, because he quickly knows the temper of his brother-in-law and sister, and there is no room for a little sand in his eyes.

Thinking that Lord Liu also looked at this layer of kinship, he specially asked him to persuade his brother-in-law, since Lord Liu said so, he naturally had to spare no effort, so he directly took a glass of wine and handed it to his brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law, I am so happy that you came from Yangzhou to Beijing, I don't know if my sister is okay, I haven't seen her for a long time.

Wei Xiuyuan's face had already cooled down at this time.

He was embarrassed to ask Xia Wanrou about the situation, if it wasn't for Wei Xiuyuan's return to Shangjing this time, he didn't know that he had caused such a big disaster to Wanrou and the Xia family.

Lord Liu touched his beard on the side, thinking that even if this Wei Xiuyuan was ruthless, he would not attack his brother-in-law, it was better to get by and close one eye.
