Liu Lizheng knew that Xu Xiaoxiao had been assassinated and had not slept all night, so he found Chu Qing early in the morning and came to the palace.

Wang Duo heard that an old man was coming to find the prince, so he went out to check with curiosity.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the door, he saw Liu Li anxiously pacing back and forth outside the gate of the palace.

"Lizheng?" Wang Duo stepped forward puzzled.

Liu Lizheng saw Wang Duo and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Guard Wang, can you tell me, the grass people have something important to see." ”

Wang Duo turned sideways in surprise, "Liu Lizheng, you are in the mansion, and I will report later." ”

Liu Li was entering the mansion with a nervous mood, he bent his back and rubbed his hands, his heart was full of uneasiness.

The Liu family did not carry out the assassination smoothly last night, and the son of the Liu family was also imprisoned, so the Liu family will definitely not let Xiaoxiao and Liu Jiacun go.

As a villager of Liujia Village, he has the responsibility to protect every villager, and he has always taken care of them, and this time he also wants to do his best to help Xiaoxiao solve the trouble.

Liu Li was following Wang Duo to the front hall of the mansion, and he sat crampedly on a chair.

Wang Duo instructed the maid to bring tea and snacks, although he had not eaten breakfast yet, his heart was full of anxiety, and he didn't have the heart to care about it at all.

Chu Qingduan knew that Liu Li was coming to the mansion, so he put down the affairs in his hand and hurried over.

"Liu Lizheng."

Liu Lizheng saw Chu Qing and hurriedly got up and bowed, "Lord Wang." ”

"This king has said that the villagers of Liujia Village do not have to be formal." Chu Qing helped Liu Li to get up.

The two of them sat down separately, and Chu Qing waited puzzled for Liu Lizheng to speak.

Liu Li was rubbing his hands nervously, looking at Chu Qing from time to time, "That..... Rajah.... Liu Gongzi, what are you going to do? ”

"Liu Yuan? If he broke the law, he could only be imprisoned for later treatment, and prison was inevitable. Chu Qing picked up the teacup and said.

Liu Lizheng thought for a moment, plucked up his courage and said, "I want to talk to Shopkeeper Liu." ”

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and stopped the movements in his hand, "What are you talking about?" ”

"This ..... The grass people don't know much about the law, so I want to ask the prince, if this matter is not investigated, can Liu Gongzi's criminal law not be sentenced and use other methods, and then I will go to talk to the shopkeeper Liu, and discuss with him that everyone will develop together in the future, and the well water will not violate the river water. ”

Liu Li hung his head like a mosquito and a fly, rubbing his hands uneasily, and his forehead was sweating from nervousness.

Chu Qing put down the teacup and thought about Liu Lizheng's words with a serious expression, he could understand Liu Lizheng's reason for doing this.

Now that Xin'an City is under attack, if civil strife starts again, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to anyone, but not dealing with Liu Yuan will only make people with bad intentions have a fluke mentality.

"Liu Lizheng, let me think about it."

Liu Lizheng also knew that his statement might embarrass the prince, so he hurriedly got up, "Lord, this is just a simple idea of the grass people, don't be embarrassed." ”

Chu Qing nodded clearly, this matter needs to be solved as soon as possible, Liu Yuan insisted that it was all his own doing, and the Liu family did not know, so it was very likely that the Liu family would put their resentment on Xiaoxiao because of Liu Yuan's failure to enter prison.

Liu Lizheng knew that he was soft-spoken, so he squeezed out a smile and followed Wang Duo out of the palace with a smile.

......

In Liu's study.

Shopkeeper Liu is taking stock of the shop in his hand, and he plans to liquidate the shop and use the largest funds to intercept Xu Xiaoxiao's shop.

At this time, Lin Chong hurried from the front yard, his expression was flustered, wiping fine sweat, and he had completely lost his previous calmness.

"What's the matter, panic?" Shopkeeper Liu stopped the abacus in his hand and said dissatisfied.

Lin Chong panted and said, "Master, the eldest young master was arrested by the government. ”

"What?" Shopkeeper Liu changed color when he heard this, and got up from the chair.

"Didn't I tell you to find a few random people? Why did my family fall into the hands of the government, and together with the bandits, what's going on? ”

Lin Chong crossed his hands and pondered, he did explain the matter to the guards and let them teach Xu Xiaoxiao a lesson.

He remembered that Aunt Chen was also there at the time, and offered to leave this matter to her to deal with.

He agreed without much thought, could it be that the bandits were arranged by her?

Thinking of this, he seemed to think of something, and arched his hand and said, "Master, Aunt Chen is also involved at this time, will it?" ”

He whispered his doubts.

The master met Chen Lian who was bullied on the road, she was pitiful at that time, and people felt pity when they saw it, which immediately aroused the pity, and when the master knew that Chen Lian and Cheng Qing were still colleagues, he was even more interested.

After Chen Lian entered Liu's Mansion, it only took half a month to become Liu's aunt, and she was pregnant.

Could it be that Chen Lian deliberately set up a situation for the young master to leave the Liu Mansion for the sake of the child in her womb?

Lin Chong's speculation made Shopkeeper Liu suspicious of Chen Lian, the struggle between women has always involved heirs, and Chen Lian is very likely to attack the only concubine in the house for the sake of the child in her womb.

"Someone, take Aunt Chen over. Steward Lin, you go to the government mansion now to inquire about how many silver taels are needed, no matter how much, I will rescue Yuan'er. ”

........

The shopkeeper heard that Xu Xiaoxiao was almost persecuted by gangsters, so he hurried to the villa in the morning to look for Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, are you alright? Lao Zhao is also there? ”

He found Xu Xiaoxiao in the back kitchen and asked eagerly.

Shopkeeper Zhao also heard the villagers talking and rushed to find Xu Xiaoxiao, at this time he was holding a big bowl of Yangchun noodles in his hand.

"Lao Huang, why are you here? Have you eaten it? ”

Xu Xiaoxiao stopped the action of picking noodles from the cauldron, looked back, put down the chopsticks with a smile, and brought the noodles cooked on the stove to the shopkeeper Huang.

"Didn't eat it, did you? Hurry. ”

Just when the shopkeeper Huang just wanted to refuse to answer, his stomach growled unhappily, he looked at the two of them embarrassedly, and reluctantly took the big bowl.

The three of them sat at the table and ate Yangchun noodles with cucumbers in sauce, and when Shopkeeper Zhao and Shopkeeper Huang knew about last night's danger, the noodles didn't have time to suck back into their mouths.

"Bandits?" Shopkeeper Huang wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth and asked in surprise.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded while flipping Yangchun's face, "I'm afraid Xin'an City is going to be in civil strife." ”

She looked at the noodles in the bowl uneasily, according to the law, colluding with the bandits could not escape death, even if Liu Yuan's father, Shopkeeper Liu, contributed to Xin'an City, he would inevitably be imprisoned.

The Liu family only has one child, Liu Yuan, and if something happens to Liu Yuan, I am afraid that the shopkeeper Liu will go bankrupt and fight against her to the end.

It's not that she's afraid of the shopkeeper Liu, but the two tigers must be injured, and the shopkeeper Liu has a solid foundation in Xin'an City for many years, and only the people who really want to fight and suffer are the people.

Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao nodded again and again, and agreed with Xu Xiaoxiao's statement, they knew the news and hurriedly rushed over to inquire about the situation.

"You said that it would not work to persuade the prince to be lenient with Liu Yuan?" The shopkeeper Huang put down his chopsticks and said worriedly.

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head again and again when he heard this, "If you let the people know at this time, then the system of Xin'an City will no longer exist." This is also a terrible consequence. ”

"Then what if there is something that can not only shock the people, but also save Liu Yuan?" Xu Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration, hurriedly looked at the two of them and said excitedly.

Shopkeeper Zhao and Shopkeeper Huang looked at each other, puzzled, and said in unison, "What way?" ”

"But we must first stabilize the civil strife in the city, otherwise even if Liu Yuan is rescued, there will be a second and third assassination." Xu Xiaoxiao said in a depressed mood.
