Chapter 24 The Loyal Household Slave
Seeing that Xing Ziang didn't reply, the little fat man said seriously: "As the three princes in the future, we don't divide the grains and don't know the yield of an acre. How can we collect taxes? If we don't know the suffering of the people and the hard work of farming, how can we control the world? Land acquisition, for civil service?" Xing Ziang quickly waved his hand and said, "Young Lord, you are ashamed of me. With my poor talent, why do you call me Sangong? Don't do that."

"I only want to serve the young prince, know the people's livelihood, manage the fields, and don't eat the king's salary for nothing."

"Great kindness!" The little fat man laughed, letting Xing Ziang handle his own farm affairs, not only could he train him, but he could also take the opportunity to control the property of the Hou Mansion in his own hands. Now, Grandma doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Hou Mansion. Most of them are handled by the little fat man himself, and the little fat man naturally has no malicious wariness towards his mother, but he really hopes that he can become the real master of the Hou Mansion!

The servants always regard him as a child, and he will only do his orders after asking Mrs. Dong or Mrs. Liu, which makes the little fat man very upset, and he gradually has such thoughts in his heart.

But in terms of cultivating the monarch's desire to control, He Xiu has been quite successful!
He Xiu was quite shocked by the little fat man's remarks. Since the goldfish incident, he, the student, seems to have changed. He may not be able to feel it, but the people around him can increasingly feel the changes in the little fat man, and they are less and less treating the little fat man as a child.

Could it be that eating goldfish can grow wisdom?
He Xiu put all the reasons on that weird goldfish.

After returning to the mansion, the little fat man ordered Liu Guanshi to be summoned. Usually, it would take more than an hour for Mrs. Dong to call for something. After hearing the order of the young prince, the old man had already appeared in less than half an hour. In front of the little fat man, the little fat man looked at the person in front of him. He knew Guanshi Liu very well. Guanshi Liu had been with him since he was a child. In comparison, he was even longer than Mr. Dong.

However, after his father passed away, Liu Guanshi didn't come to him very often. He went to look for him by himself, but he just stood respectfully and didn't say much. Therefore, gradually, the little fat man became unfamiliar with him. Seeing him now When I saw him, I saw his gray hair and beard, his shape was like a rickety, and I remembered my childhood, I couldn't help but feel sad, and said bitterly: "Long time no see, how is Liu Bo?"

But Guanshi Liu was shocked when he said this, and he quickly bowed down and said, "I'm just a house slave. I don't think I should say that. The head of the family only calls Zhongping that." Or, even if the other party is his own slave, the little fat man can't call him by his name. The little fat man shook his head and said: "My father is called Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu loves my father very much. Why did he lose his love for me?"

Hearing the little fat man's words, Liu Guanshi was silent for a moment, then he got up slowly, looked at the little fat man's face for a long time, and then said: "I don't know what is the matter of looking for me?" The little fat man said: " Xing Zi'ang is of noble character and is a capable minister in this age, I would like to get his help, so I have assigned him to manage my family's fields, do you know if Liu Bo can allow it?"

Uncle Liu has always been in charge of the property at home, so if you want to stuff Xing Ziang in, you have to ask Uncle Liu first, Manager Liu took out a letter from his sleeve without the slightest hesitation, and handed it to the little fat man. Just now he said in a low voice: "These are the head of the Liu family's fields, the head of the family, I dare not disobey." The little fat man took the bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them. To be honest, he knew that his family had cultivated countless fields. But don't know the exact number.

And on this bamboo slip, there are not only the number and location, but also detailed records of farm tools, cattle, and tenants. The little fat man looked at it for a while, and asked curiously: "Compared to my father's life, has the Liu family's property decreased? "

"There will be more and more, and the Patriarch is also invited to send an old man as his assistant to help Xing Ziang do things."

"Oh, Uncle Liu is reluctant?"

"I have to be reluctant, but these properties belong to the owner alone! The old man must keep it for as long as he lives, and no one can touch a single cent except the owner!" Although the old man is old, his voice is particularly loud, small The fat man was startled, got up quickly, stared at Guanshi Liu, and asked, "What do you mean? Can't you trust Xing Ziang?"

"No, but apart from the Patriarch, no one can move a single cent!"

"What about my mother?"

"No way! My mother's surname is Dong, not Liu!"

"How dare you separate my mother and son!!" The little fat man suddenly yelled, his face was red, and he stared angrily at Liu Guanshi. Liu Guanshi raised his head and looked at the little fat man with no fear on his face. more and more serious.

The little fat man suddenly grinned, quickly helped the old man up, and said: "Uncle Liu is my elder, I only know Uncle Liu's loyalty today, but these words must not be said outside, if I offend my mother, I can't bear it. ", the old man was lifted up, and the little fat man's quick change of face not only did not worry the old man, but was overjoyed, and he praised in his heart that he was worthy of Liu's children, the real master!

Sometimes, the more you like a person, the more you think he is outstanding.

"Hahaha, Uncle Liu will keep this thing first, and then I will help Ziang to boost the family business, and I will work!" The little fat man bowed his hands and saluted, not to mention how happy he was, he understood somewhat that this Uncle Liu was loyal to him, perhaps The Liu family is a diehard loyalist. With him around, he might be able to take charge of the family business by himself more quickly. He felt impulsive, and almost wanted to find his mother right now and let him manage the Hou Mansion.

However, he was afraid of making his mother angry, so he was not afraid of being beaten, but he just didn't want his mother to be sad.

Uncle Liu's statement really made the little fat man ecstatic, this is just one person's allegiance, if he has the allegiance of countless talented ministers in the world, how lucky is it?The little fat man thought about the large number of civil and military officials recorded in the heavenly book, and his heart grew ambitious. Before that, he was just a stubborn son of the rich and powerful, and he didn't have much expectation for the supreme position.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that he couldn't wait to sit on that honorable seat!
After dispatching Xing Ziang to work with Uncle Liu, he came to the backyard again, wanting to talk to his mother, when he approached the door, he heard a miserable cry from inside, the little fat man's face changed drastically, and he pushed open the door , Seeing my mother crying bitterly, I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart for a while, and shouted at the surrounding maidservants: "Who dares to offend my mother?? You really don't fear death!!"

"Say, who is it!!"

The little fat man's roar not only frightened the maidservants, but even Mrs. Dong was taken aback. She watched carefully, and Liu Hong's increasingly leading demeanor, for a moment, forgot to cry. Seeing the little fat man Looking angry, Dong wiped away her tears and said: "Don't blame them, it's your cousin. In Zishi, someone picked up a male corpse by the river. Your uncle passed on the word, and your cousin did too!"

"I don't know what kind of villain it is, to commit such a crime, to kill your cousin!"

While talking, Mrs. Dong began to cry again. After all, he was his own nephew. Liu Hong also frowned. He had asked his mother before, but Mrs. Dong never told him. Only today did he find out that his cousin was Being murdered by others, Liu Hong gritted his teeth. In Jiedu Pavilion, there are still villains who dare to harm his cousin?So bold, but, thinking about it again, he felt that it was wrong. At that time, he broke into the attic.

I was ignorant at that time, and even showed him the heavenly book. Could it be that he died because of the heavenly book?

However, within a few months, Liu Hong became wiser. Those stupid things in the past made him a little ashamed, and he also felt that the goldfish he ate that day made him change. Even when reading history books, he can see ten lines at a glance and remember with his photographic memory. He didn't have this ability a few months ago.

He thought again, if his cousin really died because of the Heavenly Book, wouldn't he also be the culprit?

Just, who will kill him?
