Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 480
This Liu Zhang had his hips akimbo, and he looked like a little overlord. He seemed to be sure of his thoughts, and shouted very loudly.

"You are beggars, you are still thieves!"

Xingyi curled his lips, picked up a rib with his chopsticks, shook it deliberately for Liu Zhang, and then took a bite: "You call others a thief if you can't eat it, that's all you have!"

"Wow! I don't allow you to eat ribs, I don't allow you to eat roast leg of lamb, give me back these delicious things!" Liu Zhang sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Liu Yunxiang thought the crying was annoying, so he said to Jinyan, "Give him a bowl of meat."

Jin Yan responded, just picked up the chopsticks, Cheng ran over, saw her son sitting on the ground crying, without asking what happened, immediately shouted at Liu Yunxiang: "Grandma, you bully a child, you still have to be ashamed Already!"

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand at Jinyan, "Let's feed this bowl of meat back to the dogs."

Jinyan chuckled, "Okay."

When Liu Zhang heard this, he cried even louder, "I want to eat meat! It's all mine! Don't let them eat it!"

Hearing what her son said, Cheng took another look at the dining table and knew what was going on. She pouted her mouth and straightened her neck and said, "My child is young, what's wrong with eating a few pieces of your meat? Besides, we are all a family, why bother?" The calculation is so clear."

In spite of the smoke, he said, "Eating separately was proposed by Erfang's grandma. In the first two meals, you ate meat, and we ate boiled vegetables. At that time, why didn't you say that the family can't care too much?"

"You, a slave, dare to intervene when the master speaks. You really have no rules at all!"

"I'm not your servant!"

"you!"

"Sister Jinyan is not a slave, we are a family!" Xing Yi shouted.

"Grandma, look at how unruly each one is, you..."

"I think what they said is quite right." Liu Yunxiang looked at Cheng, his eyes turned cold, "It's not your turn to intervene in the affairs of my courtyard."

Cheng was very angry, but it wasn't good to really break up with Liu Yunxiang, and immediately dragged his son away, but Liu Zhang was unreasonable, and insisted on taking away two plates of meat dishes for him to eat alone.

"Okay, mother will let the kitchen make it for you tomorrow, don't be ashamed!"

"But mother said that the money is running out, and I can only eat a small plate of meat for each meal!"

"you you!"

Mrs. Cheng was exposed by her son, couldn't hold back her face, stretched out her hand and pinched his son's arm, and Liu Zhang cried even louder.

"Cry, I don't care about you."

After saying that, she walked out, took a few steps, and remembered something.

"No, grandma, it stands to reason that if you return to your mother's house as a woman with a child, you must rely on her family's support. How do you have money to buy these?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Why, you still want to check my family background?"

Cheng was so blocked that she couldn't speak, Liu Liuzhang continued to cry here, and she left with her sleeves flung.

That Liu Zhang could really cry, his head was buzzing from crying, Zi Jin got angry and went over to pick up the child and threw him out.Jinyan looked at him crying pitifully, so she still gave him the bowl of meat.

"From now on, when you eat meat, give me a bowl, a big bowl!" Liu Zhang said arrogantly while eating.

Jinyan took a sip, "Who gave you face!"

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang went to the Lingyun Grain Shop.

Zhang Qi said that after the beginning of spring, floods occurred in several southern states one after another, tens of thousands of people were displaced, and the crops were flooded.

"This year's grain will definitely increase, but we don't know if the grain we produce in the large field in the north of the town can be transported to alleviate the famine that is coming soon."

You don't have to worry about it before, the host is the concubine of Zhenbei, and no one's caravan will be stuck there, and their Lingyun will not be stuck.But the situation is different now, I'm afraid they can't transport enough food.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, and said: "Let's put this matter aside for now, as long as we have food, we won't be afraid. By the way, you said that there was a flood in the south and the people were displaced. Does the government provide disaster relief?"

Zhang Qi sighed: "The riots in the south have just subsided, and there will be floods immediately. The people's houses are empty, the government is actually empty, and the treasury must not be full, so there is not much money that can be invested in disaster relief. According to our situation in the south The manager of the shop and the staff responded that in the eyes of the disaster, the place is full of starvation, but the situation is not at its worst. When it is hot, there may still be plague, and in autumn, there will be no grain harvest in the field. People will only get more desperate, never mind winter."

"How much food do we have right now?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Last year, there was a good harvest in Zhenbei, and there are still almost [-] stones left."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Get ready, I need this hundred thousand shi of grain."

Zhang Qi didn't ask what Liu Yunxiang was doing, just nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go down here and prepare it for you as soon as possible."

Coming out of the Lingyun grain shop, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to bring Su Rumeng a message that she wanted to see the queen again.

Back at the Shi Lang's mansion, she came in through the back door, came to the gate of the west side courtyard, Jin Jinyan came back from the outside, his face was full of anxiety, and he was relieved when he saw her.

"Girl, Young Master started fighting with a few people in the front yard."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Who?"

"It is said that people from the gambling house came to collect gambling debts."

Liu Yunxiang guessed what was going on as soon as she thought about it, she hurried to the front yard, and sure enough, she saw Liu Yunxiang and several house slaves entangled with several sturdy men.

"What's the matter with your servant's mansion, you can't pay back your debts!"

"It's clearly agreed to only owe ten days, it's already been a month!"

"Liu Shilang is in prison. If we don't get the money today, then we won't even think about it in the future. Your Shilang's mansion may be blocked if we come again!"

Liu Yunxiang walked over and shouted loudly: "Stop beating!"

Following this sound, seeing that it was her, Liu Yunheng first asked the people around him to stop their hands, and then stepped back a few steps.

"You are also a member of this family, but you are here to pay back the money?" the guard of a gambling house looked at Liu Yunxiang and asked.

Liu Yunxiang ignored him, and turned to look at Liu Yunheng, "But Liu Er owes gambling debts?"

Liu Yunheng nodded sullenly, "It's him."

"This is about the second room. Why are you rushing forward? Besides, you should show up." Liu Yunxiang frowned.

"It's all at home, can I not show up?"

"What about the person in the second room?"

"Second uncle is still lying on the bed with a lame leg, elder brother is on errand, and elder sister-in-law has gone to mother's place."

"Are you asking for money?"

Liu Yunheng nodded, "We have to get rid of these people first."

Liu Yunxiang told her younger brother to leave it alone, and hurried back to her courtyard. After her younger brother left, she became more considerate and asked the people in the gambling house how much Liu Er owed them.

"1000 taels!"

1000 taels is not much, but Liu Yunchang can't get 100 taels for a year's work, let alone ordinary people, who spend only 30 taels a year for food and clothing.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to block these people, she went to the east courtyard where Mrs. Liu lived, and when she came to the door of the main room, she heard Mrs. Cheng say to Mrs. Liu: "Mother, the people from the gambling shop are outside, saying that if you don't Pay back the money, and they smashed up the front and back yards of our Minister's Mansion."

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "If there is a grievance, there is a debtor. If they want to do harm, they should do harm to the second child!"

"People don't recognize this, they only recognize us as a family."

"But 500 taels. It's not like you don't know what's going on in the house. I can't come up with so much cash right now."

Cheng was silent for a while, and said: "Maybe my aunt can add some. I see that the West Side Courtyard is full of fish and meat. She must be rich."
