"Dad, don't get excited. Bai Xiwan took Bai Yongchun's arm with a smile on his face, helped him sit down beside him, and said: "You are the most kind-hearted person, my son knows that you are angry and said so, if you sue, you will also sue that Zhou Shan, and you will not sue Steward Zhang." ”

"Who said that! I'm going to sue him!" Bai Yongchun held his breath when he looked at Old Man Zhang's virtue, and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for him, would I have come to this point! Don't you see the faces of your grandmother and your mother, they are all waiting to see my jokes, these two people look down on me in these six ways, and they are not all harmed by this old guy!"

Bai Xiwan said helplessly: "Dad, it's useless for you to sue Steward Zhang, it's just that the family is unlucky, Steward Zhang is a servant of our family, and he is loyal to us, it is impossible to collude with outsiders to harm our family, don't say this kind of thing." It's good to frighten people out of the way, but it seems that we don't have the grace. ”

"I don't have the grace?" Bai Yongchun sneered, snorted and said: "Don't think that you can shout five and six when you are getting older now, you are not old enough to enter the coffin, just let you accuse me here? Those stupid people are blind, and our family has lost such a large amount of silver, and in the future, we will raise cattle, sheep and people, and we don't know how much money to make along the way, and we will have a difficult life ahead! Do you have eyebrows in your career? Can you make money for your family?" Your two younger sisters haven't left the cabinet yet, and you, and you haven't gotten married, aren't you planning to get married? You don't care about so much silver, you still come here to pretend to be a good person! You are a bodhisattva, and everyone else is iron-hearted, right?"

Bai Xiwan was red-faced by his father, and he was completely powerless to resist, indeed, he still eats and uses the family's food, and he can't say that he will be able to be independent, no longer in the Jiao Yong family, and he will definitely take his wife and children out in the future, because after all, he is the only sister-in-law in this family who can inherit the family business.

But Bai Yongchun's words were too heartbreaking.

And is it because the family is tight, can all the pain be transferred to others? This matter was not the fault of Old Man Zhang in the first place.

"Father, you are mistaken. I mean, whether or not we can catch the real culprit, we shouldn't let outsiders see our jokes. Even if you lose your money, you shouldn't lose the demeanor of our noble family. ”

"You shut up Lao Tzu!" Bai Yongchun pointed at Bai Xiwan angrily: "Manners, bearing, what you said is easy, you are so personable, why haven't you brought a benefit to the family?" Now you are turning your elbows outward, and your heart is towards Old Man Zhang, if you are not born to me, I will wonder if you are partnering with this person to calculate your father!"

"Daddy......" Bai Xiwan was yelled at and helpless. I didn't know what to do for a while.

Bai Yongchun flicked his sleeves and glared at Old Man Zhang angrily.

Old man Zhang's face was already pale, and he couldn't care less about the tears, so he immediately fell to the ground on his knees and kowtowed again and again: "Ask the owner to spare his life, the owner, you know that I will never contact outsiders to betray you, you know! What kind of temperament my old Zhang is, the owner knows best, this big hat that must contact outsiders to deceive the master, but don't deduct it from me! Betraying the ungrateful thing of the master, no one in our family can do it!"

His forehead hit the ground with a thumping sound, and the old man's forehead soon turned purple. On the side, Bai Xidui couldn't bear to look at it. But Bai Yongchun just stood indifferent.

Bai Xiwan couldn't look at Lao Zhang's grievances, but after all, he was a member of the Hou Mansion, and he would have to rely on Bai Yongchun to live in the future, if he clashed with Bai Yongchun again, how would he live in the future? Not to mention Bai Yongchun's temperament, if it was a matter of decision, how could he say a few words or quarrel and turn the corner?

Bai Xidui hesitated.

And Steward Zhang is still kowtowing.

Bai Yongchun snorted and said, "Get out, wait for the people from the yamen to arrest you." ”

Steward Zhang stiffened, his forehead was against the ground, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.

Bai Yongchun frowned and scolded again, and loudly ordered the little servant to prepare the carriage and horses, and he should immediately go to the yamen to complain. I want to be high for the film called Zhou Shan, and I want to be Gao Zhang Laohan, an accomplice of the liars.

So Zhang Laohan was detained within an hour.

However, Shuntianfu Yin only told Bai Yongchun that he would try his best to investigate, but Niu Yang asked Bai Yongchun to figure out his own way.

It's really sad at this moment. There are so many cattle and sheep on the outskirts of Kyoto, and it is still snowing in the winter, and there is no Zhuangzi that can hold these cattle and sheep, and they have to provide food and drink for these cattle and sheep.

Bai Yongchun was anxious, so he asked the Zhang family to take out five hundred taels of silver for the time being.

At this moment, except for the deposit recovered, and the silver that was put into it, they were deserved with nothing.

There is no place to breed, and even if the cattle and sheep are sold to the butchers, the amount that each butcher kills every day is limited, and the purchasing power of Kyoto City is also limited, not to mention that there are so many cattle and sheep, and the price of beef and mutton in Kyoto is getting lower and lower.

On the fourth day, half of the cattle and sheep were frozen to death, but there was not much left to sell. Live meat became dead meat, and the price was lower.

The old lady cried again and again, and finally fell ill.

Bai Yongchun tried hard to find a home here, wanting to sell the cattle and sheep to get back some capital, but because the beef and mutton market in Kyoto had been saturated by him, no one was willing to buy it at all.

He had to support the eating and drinking of these cattle and sheep, because the price of live cattle and sheep was much higher than that of dead meat.

The 20,000 taels of silver in the family's inventory were quickly freed up by Bai Yongchun to buy forage. Raising people and livestock.

However, forage in winter is very expensive!

Up to now, there are still 2,000 cows left in his hands, and more than 3,000 sheep have not been disposed of.

The old lady poked the floor with a cane at home, seeing Bai Yongchun getting such a group of living creatures, wanting to take out the pen and ink shop on Chang'an Street, collect the money and continue to raise livestock.

She spurted out a mouthful of old blood in anger.

It's a dead end.

When the emperor's party returned to the outside of Kyoto, even the snow-covered ground was filled with a smell of cow dung and fishy smell that could not be dissolved, and there were cow dung and sheep dung eggs everywhere on the ground.

The emperor frowned and ordered someone to investigate. Not long after, Su Mingbo came back quickly, and forced a smile to return the matter to the emperor one by one.

When the emperor heard this, he was curious and funny, and scolded in a low voice: "I have never seen such a stupid fool, why is this person born as Bai Zijin's father." ”

Su Mingbo sighed: "As the saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter a family, now looking at Lord Bai being expelled from the house, and looking at Lord Bai's actions and intelligence, it really doesn't go all the way with An Luhou, it seems that the temperament between their father and son is really not compatible." ”

The Emperor nodded when he heard this.

After the group entered the city, the emperor specially allowed the ministers not to enter the palace immediately, but to disperse and return home, and discuss the government at the court meeting tomorrow.

Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao returned to the grange in the southern suburbs with Guan Junyan and Yulian.

Who knew that before they could get closer, the road would be blocked, and the carriage would be forced to listen.

Bai Xiyun asked, "What's going on outside?"

Guan Junyan sat in the wheel and sneered: "Second brother, the outside of your house has been occupied by livestock. ”

Bai Xiyun was stunned when he heard this, and lifted the corner of the warm curtain in surprise to look out. The cold air came to his face, forming a circle of white mist in front of the car door, Qi Miao was originally drowsy, but he also woke up a little at this time, and looked out with Bai Xiyun.

At this sight, both of them were stunned.

"Whose cattle and sheep still came to us?" Qi Miao looked at the farmer grange on the left and right, and only thought it was very interesting: "Even if someone's cattle and sheep run out, they won't all stand at our door." ”

Bai Xiyun was stunned, and then burst out laughing, as if he wasn't angry at all, but thought it was funny: "I know what's going on." Miao'er, let's get off the bus and walk back, I'm telling you when we get home, it will take some time to wait for the carriage to break through the siege. ”

Qi Miao smiled and nodded, and got out of the car.

Yulian and Guan Junyan hurriedly stopped.

Yulian said: "Madame is pregnant, in case she is hit by cattle and sheep, I am afraid it will not be good." It is better for the slave and maid to go back and find more people, clear these animals, and drive them all away before leaving. ”

Bai Xiyun raised his forehead and said, "I only thought about fun, but I forgot about this." After thinking about it, he said, "That's it, you first order to go down, and call me the chief steward in the Zhuangzi as well." ”

"Yes. Yulian hurried in.

Guan Junyan frowned and said, "I don't know how long these cattle and sheep have been here." In the middle of winter, the air smells of livestock sheds. It's not going to make a good life. ”

Bai Xiyun said: "Naturally, they don't plan to let us have a good time. ”

Qi Miao heard what he said, so he asked, "Ah Zhao, do you know whose cattle and sheep this is?"

Bai Xiyun bowed his head, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one else, so he said in a low voice: "It's the Bai family, do you remember that before Brother Luo went out, I discussed things with him for a long time." ”

Qi Miao shook his head, and then suddenly.

"You really did that. It was the last time...... God, no wonder there are so many cattle and sheep, so the Bai family has no place to accommodate so many cattle and sheep, and in the winter, these cattle and sheep will either freeze to death or starve to death. Qi Miao didn't say any further, because she had already been impressed by Bai Xiyun's resourcefulness.

If Luo Yong hadn't been asked to go a few days ago, these cattle and sheep would not have been able to enter Beijing in time for winter. If it weren't for the cattle and sheep business, the Bai family would not have caused continuous consumption. Just these people eat horses and chew horses, they can make the Bai family bankrupt - because they all know the characters of Bai Yongchun and Lao Taijun, they will not be willing to change hands immediately, they feel that it is a loss, and they will take a chance to raise it for a while and then find the next one.
