Liu Xiu looked at everyone, smiled and said, "When you were outside the tent, the official heard the sound of conversation, and there was laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . But now after coming in, all of them have a nervous look on their faces, and a worried look. Could it be that this official wants to eat people?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

The adult laughed, but suddenly saw the adult, and his heart was slightly nervous. ”

"Yes, my lord's name is world-shattering. Now that I see a real person, I do feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"Under is 'excited', it is 'excited'. ”

One by one, they spoke, all explaining.

It's just that in their hearts, they secretly scolded Liu Xiu, thinking that it was not good for Liu Xiu to find them, after all, they had to pay for food, and it was all a knife scraped on their 'meat'.

Liu Xiu raised his hand and pressed down, and the tent was quiet.

Everyone shut up and stopped talking.

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on everyone, and he said, "This official invited you here for the sake of food. ”

Brush!

Countless people, their faces have changed greatly.

Although they all knew in advance, they couldn't help but feel nervous when they got the exact answer at the moment.

Grain!

Whether it was the officials and soldiers in the city, or Liu Xiu's army outside the city, they all needed a lot of food.

Letting them take out the grain is tantamount to cutting 'meat' on them.

Liu Xiu glanced at everyone's reactions and continued: "As we all know, Cao 'Cao' withdrew his troops and took away all the food, money, and equipment, causing Chang'an to be in a difficult situation and difficult to operate. So now, it's up to all of you to work together to solve this problem. ”

"My lord, I have something to say below. ”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a 'fat' figure stood up and bowed.

Liu Xiudao: "Your Excellency?"

The fat man replied: "In Xia Song Yuan, he is a merchant in Chang'an City. ”

Liu Xiudao: "What do you want to say?"

Song Yuan replied: "What I want to say is that because of the years of war, as well as the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, my business has been greatly affected. Over the years, the officers and soldiers have been cut like leeks, stubble by stubble, making it impossible for the Song family to operate at all. So far, it is still beyond our means, so please be aware of it. ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Song Yuan, are you sure?"

Song Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Sure!"

Liu Xiu chuckled, didn't look at Song Yuan, but instead looked at the rest of the merchants, and asked, "What about you?"

"My lord, the same is true in the lower house. ”

As the words fell, an old man with a clear face stood up.

Liu Xiu asked, "Are you?"

The old man introduced himself: "In Xia Xue Zhao, he is the head of the Xue family in Chang'an. As Song Yuan said, Cao 'Cao', Li Dao and others came, snatching one stubble after another, making us really powerless to support it. ”

Liu Xiu bowed his head slightly, and said, "What about the rest?"

When asked again, everyone's hearts became vigilant, and their eyes showed a cautious look.

Liu Xiu has not expressed his position, I don't know what it means?

In case the bet is wrong, it will be miserable.

Liu Xiu didn't speak when he saw that none of them said, "It seems that those who can't afford food and money are the Song family and the Xue family, which means that the rest of the families can bear it, right?"

In a word, the faces of the families who did not speak changed greatly. If it is really as Liu Xiu said, wouldn't it be necessary to pay for food, then it would be really miserable.

"My lord, I have something to say below. ”

Suddenly, another person stood up and bowed to Liu Xiuxian.

Liu Xiu said, "Your Excellency?"

Came to the human: "In Xia Zhuyan, a merchant in Chang'an City. ”

Liu Xiu said: "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Yan replied: "The Zhu family has also encountered the same situation, and it may be difficult to bear food and money. After all, the current Zhu family has also encountered difficulties!"

Liu Xiu bowed his head slightly and said, "The official knows." ”

After speaking, Liu Xiu looked at the others and said, "Apart from Song Yuan, Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan, is there anyone else?"

At this time, Liu Xiu was already asking for the third time.

This inquiry, everyone in the camp suddenly had a strange feeling in their hearts.

Something is wrong with this situation!

The families and businessmen who originally planned to come out endured one by one, stopped talking, and watched the development of the situation.

Liu Xiu saw everyone's expressions and knew that no one would come forward again. Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Song Yuan, Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan, and said, "This official asks you again, are you really exhausted and unable to come up with money and food?"

There was a hint of coldness in the words.

When Song Yuan and the others heard this, the expressions on their faces became serious.

Xue Zhao suddenly said: "My lord, I just thought that the Xue family still has some food. ”

As he spoke, Xue recalled his seat.

Liu Xiu looked at Song Yuan and Zhu Yan again and said, "Are you two sure?"

"Sure!"

Song Yuan didn't think about it, so he spoke directly.

Zhu Yan also said: "Yes, the Zhu family is indeed exhausted. ”

Liu Xiu showed a smile on his face and said, "Very good." ”

"Come on, please Huang Hu. ”

As soon as Liu Xiu gave the order, the soldiers went down to give the order.

After a while, Huang Hu was dressed in armor, strode in, knelt on one knee, and saluted Liu Xiu with his fists: "The last general, Huang Hu, meet the lord." ”

Liu Xiu raised his hand, and Huang Hu stood up.

Liu Xiudao: "Tang Min!"

"Humble duty!"

Tang Min, as the county magistrate, walked out obediently.

Liu Xiu said: "You lead the way for Huang Hu, let him take five hundred soldiers to the Zhu family and the Song family, and carefully check whether the Zhu family and the Song family have any food and money." ”

"Yes!"

Tang Min and Huang Hu were ordered at the same time.

When Zhu Yan and Song Yuan heard this, their faces changed greatly, and their eyes were full of surprise.

It's a robbery!

Zhu Yan hurriedly said, "My lord, you can't do this!"

Song Yuan said: "My lord, we didn't break the law, you directly sent troops to break into the house, what is the reason?"

The two of them have considerable resistance to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "This official suspects that you are Cao Cao's secret stake left in Chang'an, so today, you must give a 'handover' generation." This matter must be clearly verified. This official and Cao '' and 'engaged', one step away, you may lose the whole game. Therefore, this official would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. Since this official has received the news that you are colluding with Cao's '', it must be verified clearly. ”

When Zhu Yan heard this, his body trembled slightly.

It's so ruthless!

Liu Xiu is so ruthless!

Song Yuan also glared angrily, he didn't expect Liu Xiu to do this.

When the rest of the people heard this, they were glad that they didn't rush forward, otherwise the gun would have shot the first bird.

Cao '' took away all the food and money, Liu Xiu has no food and money, he must be crazy, he will try all kinds of ways to get food and money, and now he is working against Liu Xiu, he can only be beaten.

Liu Xiu stared at the two with a smile, he believed that Song Yuan and Zhu Yan would make the right decision.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are carried out.

Chang'an is short of food, if Liu Xiu doesn't do this, it will drag down the army, and countless soldiers will be affected, which will further affect the overall situation of Liu Xiu taking Chang'an.

Therefore, anyone who dares to stop it is Liu Xiu's enemy.

Zhu Yan took a deep breath and said, "My lord, the Zhu family is willing to help with all their might. Since the adults are short of food, the Zhu family will fully support it even if they smash the pot and sell iron. ”

At this point, if Zhu Yan resists again, the loss will be even greater.

Song Yuan was alone, and he didn't dare to fight against Liu Xiu, so he also spoke: "My lord, although the Song family is hard, but the adults are in danger, and the Song family will also support it if they do all their wealth." ”

Under pressure from Liu Xiu, both of them expressed their willingness to support.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "The two of you are so supportive of this official, so high-spirited, how can you want to collude with Cao ''? This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the officials, and the two of them will be fair. You two, please be seated!"

A remark, high-sounding.

After everyone heard this, they were even more afraid of Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu has a lower face, can bend and stretch, and is more ruthless and cunning, such a person is not only ruthless to himself, but also to the enemy.

In their hearts, they all wanted not to provoke Liu Xiu.

Once Liu Xiu is provoked, the consequences will be even worse.

Liu Xiu flicked his sleeves and asked Huang Hu to retreat, and then said with a smile: "Getting down to business, now let's discuss the issue of food and money, I hope you will help." ”
