"Axiu!" Liu Yan wanted to stop Liu Xiu, but the latter had already walked out without looking back.
Watching Liu Xiu's leaving figure, Liu Yan looked at Liu Yong helplessly and said meaningfully: "Because of Liu Jin's incident, not only did we offend the entire Xinye gentry, but it also caused divisions within our army. Uncle, I can only give you two days at most. If after two days, you still can't get the soldiers outside the county government to evacuate, and you still can't improve our relationship with the Xinye gentry, then I will only hand over Liu Jin. , let the Zhong family handle it."
After speaking, Liu Yan stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left.
If the Zhu Tiandu tribe wants to maintain long-term stability in Xinye, it cannot do without the support of the Xinye nobles.
As the leader of the Zhu Tiandu Tribe, Liu Yan must put the overall situation first. He cannot offend all the Xinye nobles just because of Liu Jin. After two days, if the situation cannot be alleviated, he will even execute Liu Jin and the Liu family. The clan members all understand what he did and won't blame him.
Of course, it would be great if Liu Yong could really think of a way to calm down public anger without killing Liu Jin.
Liu Xiu and Liu Yan were gone, and Liu Yong stood in the hall dumbfounded.
Liu Ji, Liu Jia and other Liu family members looked at each other and did not stay here for long. When they passed by Liu Yong, everyone looked at him deeply and said nothing.
In the end, Liu Yong didn't even know how he got out of the county government office.
After thinking about it, he still went to Liu Xiu's residence. Since Liu Xiu said there was a way to save Liu Jin's life and resolve the matter satisfactorily, he had to ask Liu Xiu to deal with it even if he gave up his old face. .
Let's talk about Liu Xiu. When he returned to his mansion, Jiu'er came over. Liu Xiu asked: "Is the investigation clear?"
Jiu'er nodded and said seriously: "In Baixiang Tower, the girl Liu Jin and Zhong Yue fought for was named Yingxuan. She was originally the legitimate daughter of the county's Cheng family, but was later demoted to an official prostitute and was reduced to Baixiang Tower. Zhong Yue and Ying Xuan were originally in love. After Ying Xuan arrived at Baixiang Tower, he was hired by Zhong Yue with a lot of money. Zhong Yue has been looking for a relationship, hoping to help Ying Xuan redeem himself. Last night, Liu Jin was celebrating He was already drunk at the banquet. After the banquet, he went directly to Baixiang House. The other girls did not take a fancy to him, but he took a fancy to Yingxuan. Zhong Yue happened to be there at that time, so the two had a dispute. "
At this point, Jiu'er shrugged and laughed out loud: "Speaking of which, this Zhong Yue is also a drunkard. During the dispute, he was pushed down the stairs by Liu Jin, a drunkard, and broke his neck. He was killed on the spot. No more."
For those who have become official prostitutes, it is not possible to redeem them if they have money. They also need to obtain a pardon document from the government.
Liu Xiu nodded while listening and asked: "Where is this Miss Yingxuan now?"
"Has been taken into prison. I estimate that no matter whether Liu Jin dies or lives in the end, Ying Xuan will be in trouble."
"Yes." Liu Xiu sighed softly and said: "After all, the incident happened because of her. The Zhong family will not let her go, and Liu Yong will not let her go. Even the eldest brother... wants to push her out to take the blame. "
"However, my lord, my people also found out something in Baixiang Tower, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
Liu Xiu asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Jiuer leaned towards Liu Xiu's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Liu Xiu blinked and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He rolled his eyes and whispered a few more words into Jiu'er's ear. After he finished speaking, Jiu'er simply agreed and walked out of the mansion quickly.
Liu Xiu walked into the hall and as soon as he sat down, a maid cleverly brought over a cup of tea. Liu Xiu took the tea cup and drank two sips of tea. He felt that the house was very quiet. He put down the cup and said, "Liu Quan."
Liu Quan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Young Master."
"Where's Boji? Did Boji go out today?"
Liu Quan smiled and said: "Reporting to the young master, Miss Third and Miss Xi Ling are chatting in the back garden!"
"Oh!" Liu Xiu agreed first, and when he was about to pick up the tea cup, he retracted his hand, looked at Liu Quan, and asked uncertainly: "Who is Bo Ji chatting with?"
"Miss Xi Ling!" Liu Quan said with a smile: "I visited you just now. The two ladies wanted to have a good chat."
Liu Xiu blinked and couldn't help but laugh. Last night, Boji was still full of hostility towards Xi Ling. She didn't like everything about her. However, after sleeping for one night, Boji's impression of Xi Ling completely changed.
Where is it?
He found it interesting, stood up straight, and walked to the back garden.
When they arrived at the back garden, Liu Xiu looked up and saw Liu Boji and Xu Xiling sitting in the pavilion. She didn't know what the two of them were talking about. The atmosphere was not harmonious, but simply cheerful. From time to time, the two women's giggles could be heard.
Liu Xiu walked over with doubts. Xu Xiling was the first to see Liu Xiu. She quickly stood up, bowed her head and said, "Xiling has met my lord!"
Liu Boji looked back, smiled with her eyes crooked, and said: "Third brother, you are here!"
Liu Xiu walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "What are you two talking about so happily?"
Liu Boji said cheerfully: "Third brother, we are talking about female celebrities! Unexpectedly, Sister Xi Ling has deep knowledge of embroidery and needlework, and Sister Xi Ling can also do Danfeng embroidery. I used to do it
I thought Danfeng hair had been lost long ago! Sister Xi Ling has promised me that she will teach me the Danfeng embroidery technique!"
The little girl has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, and she does not hide her thoughts, her likes and dislikes are directly expressed on her face.
When Liu Boji hated Xu Xiling, it was no matter how he found her distasteful. Now that Liu Boji's impression of her had changed, no matter how much she liked her. After just one night apart, the two of them had almost become good sisters.
Liu Xiu didn't know anything about Nühong, and she didn't know what Danfeng embroidery was, but Liu Boji accepted Xu Xiling so quickly and matched her sisters. People have to admire Xu Xiling's communication skills.
As the saying goes, you can hit a snake within seven inches. Xu Xiling figured out the little girl's preferences in one night, and was able to prescribe the right medicine, which is really amazing.
Liu Boji changed her tone and asked: "Third brother, did the eldest brother ask you to go to the county government just now?"
"Um."
"It must be about Liu Jin, right?"
Liu Xiu sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and waved her hand to Xu Xiling, who was standing aside, motioning for her to sit down too.
He smiled at Liu Boji and said: "Now Liu Jin's matter has become a big deal, and the Xinye nobles have joined forces to seek justice for the Zhong family."
Liu Boji exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the Zhong family would be so powerful in Xinye and be able to win over so many noble families."
Xu Xiling said calmly: "It's not that the Zhong family is really that strong, but that the Xinye nobles all understand that they can only stand a chance of protecting themselves if they share the same hatred and hatred."
Liu Xiu nodded, and Xu Xiling understood the point. If he were a member of the Xinye noble clan, in this case, he would also choose to stand with the Zhong family.
Liu Boji snorted twice and said: "Third brother, you'd better leave Liu Jin alone. This person is so annoying. Every time he sees me, he always says some unreasonable things."
Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "Boji, has Liu Jin bullied you?"
"It's not really bullying, I just keep saying nonsense like 'Do you have a sweetheart?' and 'When will you get married?'" the little girl said angrily, her face slightly red.
Hmm! It was considered teasing, but it was true that he asked these words out of hesitation. Liu Xiu rolled his eyes, while Xu Xiling couldn't help but burst into laughter.
While they were talking, a servant came over, raised his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Master, Mr. Liu Yong, Mr. Liu, would like to see you."
Liu Xiu expected Liu Yong to visit him again. He asked, "How many people are here?"
The servant said: "It's just Mr. Liu and a few followers."
Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Invite him to the lobby."
Liu Yong was invited into the house by his servant. After waiting in the lobby for a short time, Liu Xiu also arrived. As soon as Liu Xiu entered the lobby, Liu Yong knelt down.
Liu Xiu stepped aside, retreated far away, and said slowly: "Uncle, you are the elder and I am the junior. I can't bear such a great gift!"
Liu Yong's face turned pale and red for a while. He held it in for a long time and said, "Axiu, my uncle has been offended many times in the past. I hope you will not bear any grudge against my uncle!"
Liu Xiu was happy, waved his hand and said: "Uncle Clan, what are you talking about? Please get up quickly."
"If Axiu refuses to help me this time, she still holds a grudge against me. I can't afford to kneel here forever!" Liu Yong still insisted on kneeling on the ground and refused to get up.
This is trying to be a rogue! Liu Xiu murmured and said with a half-smile: "Uncle, instead of wasting time with me, it would be better to think of a way to see how to save Liu Jin's life and survive the Zhong family smoothly.
That level."
Liu Yong said with a cry: "I really have no choice now. If Axiu refuses to help, this time... this time Ajin will really be dead!"
Now he can see that since the Xinye nobles are all on the side of the Zhong family, and even Chung Ling Army generals like Deng Feng also support the Zhong family, no one in the Liu family is willing to speak for him anymore.
Liu Xiu shrugged and said: "Why can't Uncle Clan have nothing to do? I believe that Uncle Clan will come up with a solution to get the best of both worlds sooner or later!"
After listening to Liu Xiu's sarcastic remarks, Liu Yong became really anxious. He kowtowed to Liu Xiu and choked with sobs and said, "Uncle, please beg Axiu!"
Feeling that he had almost forced Liu Yong, Liu Xiu came forward, knelt down beside him, and asked seriously: "How much price will my uncle be willing to pay if he wants Liu Jin to survive?"
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No matter the cost! Even if you lose your entire family, you won't hesitate!"
Liu Xiu said: "It's not that serious. After this incident, Liu Jin must withdraw from the Zhu Tiandu Department. From now on, the Zhu Tiandu Department will never hire Liu Jin. What do you think, uncle?"
Liu Yong raised his hand and looked directly at Liu Xiu. After a moment, he calmed down and responded solemnly: "Okay! As long as Axiu can help Ajin overcome this difficulty, from now on
, Ajin will never serve in Zhu Tiandu Department again!"
Liu Xiu and Liu Yong looked at each other for a while, stood up, pulled Liu Yong up, and said: "Tonight, I will go to Zhong's house. Tomorrow, Liu Jin must leave Xinye and return to Chongling!"
Liu Yong lowered his head and said: "Okay! Uncle Clan promises you!" After a pause, he asked doubtfully: "Axiu, you... can you persuade the Zhong family to let Ajin go if you take a trip to the Zhong family?
