Chapter 371 It's all food to blame

The Xibo Hou Mansion is not far from Haiyun City. It is the only place to form a city except for the imperial palace.

In other words, the house of Xibohou is a castle, and its majesty is not even comparable to that of the Zhao family back then!

Liu Xiu and his party walked into the city. In addition to the Beiming Hou Liu Shu, there were also Fu Bowen, his five confidants, and ten generals of the Governor Generals.

This time, Liu Xiu did not bring his female relatives, but eighteen people dared to enter the city, and ten of them were still difficult to distinguish between us, which immediately made the Marquis of Xibo overjoyed and became more confident.

He was excited and came forward and said, "Brother Liu! Why did you come here? I really want to be foolish brother!"

Beiming Hou was a peer of him, so Zhou Shichang seemed very close. When he came over, he shook hands and shoulders, as if he had not seen him for many years.

Liu Shu was also very enthusiastic and greeted the other party, but Liu Xiu was so desperate that he took out the imperial edict and wanted to read it again when he saw this show.

Zhou Shichang almost shouted and shot the arrow, but he still refused: "Nephew Liu, let's avoid this, we won't use the same move!"

"That's it... OK."

Liu Xiu regretfully put away the imperial edict, but it makes sense. It is indeed a bit inferior to always using the same move, so let's change it.

"Father, don't you also have an imperial edict?"

"Oh by the way!"

Beiming Hou slapped his forehead and took out an imperial edict and said, "I was happy to see Brother Zhou, and I almost forgot the main thing. I also asked Brother Zhou to kneel down and listen to the imperial edict."

Xibohou: "..."

You mp! Why do these father and son like to let others kneel down?

What the Queen of Beiming said was to announce the edict, not to let the Queen of Xibo accept the edict, so the edict was not given to him at all. It was really a pity!

There is no way, just kneel down honestly, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan...

Zhou Shichang comforted himself while hating him so much that his teeth were itchy. He had long forgotten. In the previous chapter, he also warned others not to be angry with Liu Xiu. As a result, he just wants to shoot arrows now!

After the imperial edict was read out, it was the one that asked Beiming Hou to come to provide disaster relief. It should be read out, but no matter how you look at it, it was intentional, just to have a warning.

When Zhou Shichang stood up, his smile was already a little stiff, and then everyone came to the Marquis' Mansion together.

Finally sat at the negotiating table, Zhou Shichang also calmed down and stopped being nervous, preparing to start leading the game.

But unexpectedly, Liu Xiu took out his imperial edict again, which almost caused Zhou Shichang to throw his cup as a sign and attacked him on the spot.

Then Liu Xiu explained: "I didn't plan to read this time. I just wanted to remind the Queen Xibo that this imperial envoy was acting as the emperor's envoy, so someone sued me, which would be equivalent to directly suing the emperor for the emperor, and I must check it."

"Case? Are you going to investigate the case?" Zhou Shichang didn't understand where this was sung?

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's a case of disaster relief grain. Yesterday, Wuqian Trading Company sued the imperial envoy and said that the Marquis of Xibo embezzled disaster relief grain, and at this moment there are still hundreds of thousands of kilograms left in the mansion."

"Let's go... they fart!" Zhou Shichang said in anger: "This is purely a creation out of nothing. Who dares to slander this marquis?"

"The big shopkeeper of Wuqian Trading Company." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I naturally don't believe it. How could the Marquis of Xibo be such a person? However, since he is an imperial envoy, he always has to give him an explanation, right?"

Zhou Shichang's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly grasped the key to the problem, from Liu Xiu's killing and cooking horses to the first meeting between the two, seizing military power, and holding the granary...

It turns out that from beginning to end, everything Liu Xiu did was for disaster relief food!

At this moment, Zhou Shichang felt that he was really ridiculous. Perhaps the reduction of the vassal states was secondary. What did the Liu family father and son come to do? Isn’t it just to provide disaster relief under the orders!

But he had preconceived ideas and had imagined many possibilities, but ignored the original purpose. In fact, he regarded the people as straw dogs. Subconsciously, he believed that Liu Xiu's purpose was never simple, so he did not take food to heart.

Now that Liu Xiu is in trouble, he pointed out that the batch of disaster relief food, Zhou Shichang is completely passive because this matter is also not small, especially in the emperor's opinion.

That batch of grain is in the Marquis' Mansion, and it cannot be hidden even if it is 200,000 kilograms. As long as you check it, you will be ashamed of evidence. If Liu Xiu continues to attack this matter, he will be incompetent to embezzle disaster relief grains and will not be able to overcome the emperor!

Zhou Shichang was fighting against heaven and man. Should he take action? There were only eighteen people on the other side. There were definitely no one to take action from the ten generals of the governors, and the remaining eight people were given for nothing except Liu Xiu...

"Mr. Xibo."

Liu Xiu suddenly spoke, "Are you so hesitant? Then I will check it myself?"

After saying that, Liu Xiu stood up and walked outside.

Zhou Shichang's face changed a few times, his fists clenched, and his eyes slowly moved towards the teacup...

But the prince Zhou Tairi grabbed his hand and shook his head vigorously, obviously persuading his father to give up.

However, how could Zhou Shichang be willing to do so? Now that the order for fiefdom rotation has arrived, if he cannot fight for bargaining chips for negotiations, he will be caught in the handle of embezzling disaster relief grains. Wouldn't he be slaughtered?

So this matter must not be broken, so just do it without stopping, and even Liu Xiu and others will take it down!

By then, the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Liu family will be in charge of the governor again. Even if the Beiyun Province sends troops to attack and the court will increase its troops to siege, he may not lose the dead with his troops!

Moreover, the emperor has just taken control of the situation, and the court is in turmoil and unstable, and Lingnan Province is also suffering from disaster. The emperor may not dare to make a big move, and he may make concessions in the end...

The more Zhou Shichang thought about it, his head became more and more congested. Finally, power and desire filled his heart. He immediately threw away his son and threw the teacup to the ground!

But after this fall, it seemed as if I had tried all my strength, and what followed was a sense of emptiness and an inexplicable palpitations.

It seems that he made an impulsive decision...

At this time, Liu Xiu had already walked out of the living room and came to the open space outside.

In an instant, countless figures rushed out, some jumped down from the roof, and some rushed out from the doorman, instantly surrounding Liu Xiu.

Zhou Tairi shouted anxiously: "Stop! Stop all! This is a misunderstanding..."

In fact, at this moment, the Queen of Xibo hesitated, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so he did not speak in the end.

As a result, countless masters attacked Liu Xiu together and wanted to take him down on the spot.

Perhaps, for the nobles, sometimes face is more important than anything else. Even if the Marquis of Xibo finally compromised with the emperor, Liu Xiu must pay the price now.

But Zhou Tairi didn't think so, because he heard too many Liu Xiu's deeds in the capital, and some of them had seen with his own eyes. So he strongly opposed it since yesterday and must not be enemies with this person.
