Liu Huaian stared into her eyes, his smile disappeared instantly, and asked quickly: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"When did you come?"
"Half an hour ago."
"Are you here to spy on me?"
"no."
Liu Huaian smiled and nodded: "Say what you just said in reverse."
"No, not half an hour ago." Ling Ruoxia said with a smile: "If you want me to repeat what you said, I can say it backwards."
"No, please forgive me. After all, I don't want the person sleeping next to me to stab me in the neck. If I stab the other neck too, then I will be really naked and humiliated." Liu Huaian shrugged helplessly.
Ling Ruoxia did not laugh, but said very calmly: "They have taken away the poisonous insects from my body. I completely belong to the young master and have nothing to do with them anymore."
"Then you stay here, and I'll recruit some maids and servants. After all, you don't seem to be someone who can take care of yourself." Liu Huaian put down three thousand taels of silver notes and ten elixirs, "You use it first.
.”
After saying that, Liu Huaian turned around and left. He would not touch Lingruo or touch Lingruo with his fingers until he dealt with the Lin family. At this moment, he was in the wolf's den and could not relax at all.
Near noon, Liu Huaian found twenty maids and twelve servants, and then burned their deeds of sale in public, saying: "From now on, you are no longer servants or slaves, I will pay you wages according to the month."
After that, Liu Huaian continued to go out for a walk, and he didn't feel anyone was following him until he was having lunch. Only then did he feel relieved and entered the alley, transformed into Liu Huaian and returned home.
"Master, take a look. These are some of the houses I selected. They are all very good."
"If you don't buy it, someone will give it to you." Liu Huaian asked, "Has anything happened at home in the past two days?"
Huanyun shook his head and said, "No. Mr. Liu invited you to dinner and asked you to come."
"That's fine." Liu Huaian turned and left, "You have to take good care of your home during my absence. I may have to be away for a long time."
Huanyun nodded and said: "Yes, master."
Liu Huaian left the silver and elixir and came to Liu's house as a guest.
The two of them sat at the table, and Liu Junsong also brought out the best Qiu Lu Bai.
"Brother Liu, why did you give such a good opportunity to Song Ji? What can that guy give you? You might as well give it to me." Liu Junsong picked up a piece of soy sauce beef and stuffed it into his mouth, sighing: "Salt Transport Messenger
Ah, this is a fat job."
"You can't imagine how happy I am." Liu Huaian took a sip from his wine glass and asked, "Is this why you came to me?"
"Of course not. I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Liu Junsong poured wine for Liu Huaian himself, "This top-quality Qiulubai is really good. Drink more."
"bad news."
"It suits your style." Liu Junsong said with a smile, "You were targeted by that bastard brat from the Nangong family."
"I didn't provoke her, why are you targeting me?"
Liu Junsong sighed helplessly: "There are two reasons. The first is that you are too arrogant. What Nangong brat hates most is people who are more arrogant than him. The second reason is that the position of Salt Luck Envoy is the position that the Nangong family is eyeing.
It’s been a long time. If you say a word to make the Nangong family’s plans fail, how can I not keep an eye on you?”
"There is nothing we can do about this, and I don't understand the conflicts of interest between big families like you." Liu Huaian raised his wine glass and clinked it with him and said, "Never mind it, soldiers will stop it, and water will cover it. What's the good news?"
"The Nangong family dare not touch you for the time being." Liu Dusong said with a smile: "Zhang Erhe is coming soon, he will probably arrive tomorrow."
"so fast?"
Liu Dusong nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Erhe led people to investigate the tax bank case in Yangzhou. Before they arrived in Yangzhou, they heard that Zhang Xiaochun had been assassinated, so they came over in a hurry."
"Tax bank case?" Liu Huaian became interested as soon as he heard about the case.
"Yes, I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that Yangzhou's taxes this time were two million taels less than last year. Long live the Lord was furious and asked Zhang Erhe to lead the team himself,"
"Hangzhou is less than three hundred miles away from here, which is really fast." Liu Huaian asked with a smile: "Why don't the Nangong family dare to touch me?"
"As the governor's son, I still have some respect. I told them that you are secretly conducting a major investigation. They had better not act rashly. You will be safe at least until Xiaonian."
Humph! You kid can do this, but you actually set this trap on me behind my back. In my young year, if I can be recognized by the Heavenly Guard, and I will prosper in the future, I will be a favor to you. If I am not recognized by the Heavenly Guard, I will be attached to you.
, it’s great to have power, you can win no matter what.
Liu Huaian smiled and raised his glass and said, "Then I'd like to thank Brother Liu."
"You're welcome, we're all brothers!"
Liu Huaian poured him wine.
Liu Junsong said with a smile: "But you have to be careful about the little devil in the Nangong family. She is a crazy girl, arrogant and eccentric. You'd better not walk alone at night."
"Thanks for letting me know."
Liu Junsong frowned and asked, "I wonder how Brother Liu's investigation went?"
"I'm in a predicament. I don't have enough evidence yet, and I can't gain their trust. It seems I can only wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Guard tomorrow, and then check the situation at his home." Liu Huaian poured wine again.
"That's great. Brother Liu doesn't have to worry anymore." Liu Junsong laughed and laughed.
Liu Huaian shook his head slightly and said: "When can we stop being afraid? I'm afraid we can only do it when we reach the top of the real mountain. Brother Liu, is your news accurate?"
Liu Junsong took two pieces of paper, to be precise, he tore one piece of paper from the middle, then put the untorn sides side by side, wrote down the middle line, and stamped.
"Look." Liu Dusong said with a smile: "This was secretly sent by my father's friend in Yangzhou. It was delivered in two parts to ensure accuracy."
Liu Huaian took half of it and turned it over. It said when Zhang Erhe would set off and when he expected to arrive.
"This riding seal can indeed be guaranteed to be 100% accurate." Liu Huaian handed the paper to him and continued: "Are you sure it will be tomorrow?"
"I am sure."
Liu Huaian stood up and saluted: "I'm going to leave early."
"No!"
Liu Huaian went to find Ren Junwan without stopping.
On the way there, Liu Huaian firmly believed that he must become stronger and do whatever it takes to become stronger. Only by continuously becoming stronger can he survive better.
Money determines the breadth of existence, power determines the length of existence, and strength determines the height of existence.
I absolutely can't always be a little person. The sand is too small. If you want to get anything, you have to pay a huge price, even your own life!
Even if you give everything, you can only get a little bit of residue that others don't want.
The big shots are completely different. Even if they do nothing, they can still enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Just because they have money, power, and strength.
As for me, I only have a life and the determination to win.
Arriving at the house, Liu Huaian met Xiaoying.
The girl was embroidering in the hall. When she saw Liu Huaian, she quickly got up and walked to Liu Huaian. She smiled and said, "Master, you are back."
"Yes." Liu Huaian gently rubbed her head and asked with a smile, "Where is Wan'er?"
"Miss is drinking and having fun with Mrs. Zhou in the bedroom. It may take some time." Xiaoying smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss just loves to play. I hope you will forgive me."
"It's okay, it's natural for women to love to play. If you go and call her, tell her I'm here." Liu Huaian would not be bothered by this trivial matter, nor would he join in because of the fun.
On a normal day, he might use relaxation as an excuse to feel comfortable.
But now is not an ordinary day, he must make a decision quickly and make his own layout before the overall situation is decided, so that he can make more profits.
And if you want to layout, you must get enough information.
Xiaoying lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "Miss doesn't like to be disturbed. The last time I disturbed Miss, she was hung up and beaten for a long time."
"Hahaha..." Seeing no one around, Liu Huaian asked with a smile: "Ying'er, do you want to practice?"
"I'm not suitable for cultivation. My talent is low, and even cultivation is just a waste of elixir." Xiaoying lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
"Even if you can't practice, you can stay young forever and live a long time. Do you think that your appearance will fade away at thirty and you will be abandoned at forty?" Liu Huaian picked up Xiaoying and walked to the inner room. He smiled and continued:
"Why did your lady keep you? Because you are obedient and well-behaved? No, just because you are somewhat pretty. If she waits for you to grow old and lose your beauty, no, if she gets tired of you one day.
Can you continue to enjoy this wealth? Obviously you can’t, unless you have other values to stay. Do you understand?”
Xiaoying broke away from Liu Huaian, knelt in front of him and begged: "Please help me, Master."
Liu Huaian smiled and said softly: "You are very smart and know who can help you. As long as you obey me in the future, I can let you stay. Not only that, I can also let you take magical medicine and stay young forever.
You have more than three hundred years to live. Only I can help you."
"Ying'er is willing to work as an ox or a horse for her master."
"You're so good." Liu Huaian said with a smile: "Go and tell Ren Junwan that I want to teach her to be a respectable person."
Not long after, Ren Junwan ran into the room excitedly, without even finishing her clothes.
Ren Junwan said coldly: "Xiaoying, you are guarding outside. If you find anyone approaching and eavesdropping, you will be beaten to death. You should not eavesdrop either. Do you understand?"
"Yes, miss."
After Xiaoying left, Ren Junwan said with a smile: "Husband, you are back, I miss you so much."
Liu Huaian nodded and said: "I have a good wife at home, where can I go if I don't come back? Wan'er, do you know Li Shunsheng?"
"Li Shunsheng? Li Jiu's only son. I know it, but I don't know him. Why do you ask him?"
