Liu Yong and Liu Anjiang wanted to go back to Nanxun's hometown to see the progress of the 'Little Lotus Village' project. Tang Xuanxuan proposed to take An Bo to Nanxun for a few days, just a car, but it was not in the way.

In the morning, Tang Xuanxuan had already prepared their luggage for them, and Yu Yaqing also came to see them off. She took Liu Anjiang's hand. Dao: When you go out, pay attention to your diet and daily life.

Liu Anjiang said with a smile: Xie Xiao's wife reminded. A huge man can't even take care of his own life, what's the use.

......

On the construction site, looking at the rudimentary courtyard and family temple, Liu Yong and Liu Anjiang both sighed.

At the beginning, on the west side of the 'Little Lotus Village', there was still a vacant land, Liu Anjiang proposed to his father: Daddy, the Liu family has today, all of them are ancestors accumulating virtue, this vacant land, it is better to build an ancestral hall, named "Liu's Family Temple", and in the future, it will be used as a place for descendants to worship their ancestors and deceased brothers.

Liu Yong smiled: That also makes it. "People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." Building a family temple is a good way to "respect the clan and collect the clan", that is to say, the family temple can retain some common property for worship and almsgiving, so that the clansmen have centripetal force and maintain the growth of the family.

Liu Anjiang said: Since it is consistent with Daddy's idea, now is the best season for construction, and it is better to think sooner rather than later.

Liu Yongdao: Then you can arrange it.

......

The Liu family wants to build a three-entry family temple, sitting in the north and facing south, and the construction has started, and the news is spreading.

Hu Zhirong, a prefect of Gui'an County, is a buying official. I can't do big things and don't do small things, and I do everything possible to get oil and water from crooked ways all day long, and carry out blackmail. People call him 'goose plucking'.

Hearing that the Liu family wanted a family temple, Hu Zhifu sat on the Taishi chair, stroked the beard of his chin, showed a hideous smile on his face, and shook his head. I thought to myself, it's time for Lao Tzu to get rich. It's not good to knock her off, when will it be?

So, he sent someone to pass on Liu Yong.

Liu Yong stood there cautiously, not knowing what tricks Governor Hu was going to play today.

Seeing Liu Yong standing there, Governor Hu said with a cruel smile: I heard that Boss Liu's family has so much money that there is nowhere to spend it, so he has to build a family temple with a lot of construction.

Liu Yong smiled and said: Just build an ancestral hall for the spiritual position of the ancestors.

Governor Hu smiled again and said: Oh, it should be. The affairs of one's own family should be deserved, and the affairs of public affairs should be even more deserved. Nowadays, the temple of this mansion is in disrepair all year round, and it takes silver taels to repair, I don't think Boss Liu will endure it.

Liu Yong was stunned when he heard it. I thought: I only paid 100,000 silver taels to repair the temple, why do you want to repair the temple? It is clear that there is nothing to do, and it is clever to set up a name. and did not dare to confront him openly. Now that he has spoken, there is no reason for him to foam in vain. So, he took out a silver ticket of 50,000 taels and put it on the table of Hu Zhifu.

Hu Zhifu picked up the silver ticket and glanced at it, and his face began to look ugly. Then, he pushed the silver ticket, sneered, and said: It seems that Boss Liu is calling Huazi. It was as if the ruler had never seen silver. Boss Liu was really reluctant to give up the silver, so he still took the silver ticket back, and found another way to be an official.

Liu Yong smiled helplessly: Please don't misunderstand. The lord called me down, but I don't know why, so I didn't bring any money. In the future, if the government really repairs the temple, it will indeed need two taels of silver, and it will be enough to say it below.

When Governor Hu heard this, he knew that Liu Yong had something to say. The old man stood up angrily and said: You seem to be deceiving you for the sincerity of the official? Do you know that you have committed the 'sin of deceit'.

As soon as Liu Yong heard that he had committed the 'crime of bullying the king', he was frightened into a cold sweat. Dao: The prefect is angry, angry. I really didn't bring any silver with me, so I'll just send it to you in the future. The adults said that they had committed the 'crime of deceiving the king', but I really don't know about it, so please make it clear.

Hu Zhifu sneered and said: Only the emperor's family temple sits in the north and faces south, how can there be a reason for the poor family temple to sit in the north and face south and compare with the emperor, it is not 'the crime of bullying the king', what else should it be?

Liu Yong only suddenly realized. I know I'm in trouble. said with a wry smile: Please take care of the adults, and correct it immediately.

Hu Zhifu sneered, waved his hand, and said: Being an official is powerless, you better go back!

......

Liu Yong reluctantly returned to Nanxun. Discuss with Liu Anjiang and craftsmen. Liu Yong said: The ancestral hall built by my Liu family sits in the north and faces south, the gate is open to the south, and it is also named 'Liu's family temple', only the emperor's temple can be called 'family temple', and the gate can be opened to the south to show dignity. How can the Liu family call it a 'family temple', it is a 'crime of deceiving the king'. Can you find a way to change it?

The craftsman is embarrassed: now the project has already taken shape, and it is too late to change it.

Liu Yong was in a hurry. Dao: How is this good, how is it good?

The craftsman smiled slightly and said: Don't worry, master, the small one has a plan.

Liu Yong said: If you have any good plans, let's hear them.

Craftsman Road: The family temple is for the emperor's ancestors. Uncle Liu Bei, the ancestor of your Liu family, was divided into three kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was called the emperor in Chengdu, known as Shu Han in history, but it is not a proper emperor.

Liu Yong was overjoyed when he heard it.

......

Soon, the imperial court sent Qin to Nanxun to investigate the matter. I looked at the mention of the "Liu's Family Temple", and it was true that the "Family Temple" was true, and then looked at the gate, and sure enough, it opened to the south, and the Huzhou prefect really did not lie, so he reprimanded the Liu family sharply, saying that he had committed the crime of defrauding the king.

The Liu family saw that Qin Cha was angry, but they were not in a hurry, and stepped forward and said: Qin Cha is angry, my Liu family built a family temple, in fact, to pay tribute to the ancestors, and the ancestor enshrined in the family temple is an emperor, so it is okay to sit in the north and face south. After saying that, he led the Qin cha to the door.

Qin Cha followed the Liu family into the ancestral hall and saw that the name of 'Liu Bei' was written on the tablet on it. Chin Cha nodded slightly. Dao: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was divided into three kingdoms, and Liu Bei was called the emperor in Chengdu, known as Shu Han in history. The Liu family did not commit the 'crime of bullying the king', but the prefect of Huzhou lied about the military situation and committed the 'crime of bullying the king', and they will be punished.

Liu Yong and Liu Anjiang thanked Lord Qincha for their hearts. Dao: The adults are discerning and judging the case, and they are the reborn parents of the small people, thank you.

A turmoil about the family temple passed smoothly.

Because of his meritorious contributions, Liu Yong also gave you a lot of reward money for craftsmen.

......

After dealing with the matters on the construction site, Liu Yong said to An Jiang: You go back first, now, I am old, and some things are beyond my strength. I'm staying with your Aunt Xuan and An Bo in my hometown. The air in the countryside is good, and the food is fresh. The tree is thousands of feet high, and the leaves will eventually fall back to the roots. Besides, there are things to deal with here. It's up to you to take care of the business elsewhere. Moreover, Building 1 was vacated so that An Lu could complete her marriage.

Liu Anjiang sighed: Daddy has worked hard for our children all his life, and he should enjoy happiness in his old age. In my opinion, Building No. 1 is still kept, and you and Aunt Xuan and An Bo must have a place to stay when they go back. After Anlu gets married, it is better to build another building. Building 1 could also be reserved for Ambow in the future.

Liu Yong smiled and said: Nai also made.

Liu Anjiang said again: After the matter here is handled, you should go back with me, after all, there are many things in Shanghai. I have to take the children's exam after the spring Anlu, and I will take the hospital exam next year, and I can't take care of some things so much.

Liu Yong smiled and said: If you are reasonable, I will listen to you.

So, Liu Yong and the others returned to Shanghai together.
