Chapter 46 Bah, My Liu Family Will Not Go Along with You

Outside the courtyard of Xu Jijiu.

Across the wall, all the ministers were stunned.

They looked inside the wall in disbelief, at the towering green bamboos growing densely.

"Xu Jijiu, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"Bury the silver under the upright green bamboo!"

"It's really unbearable to look at, unbearable to look at!"

The sonorous voice of Master Liu came out.

"The salary of the Jijiu of the Imperial College is 59 guan, 3 qian and 3 fen per month, and 6 shi of rice!"

"Where did you get the whole box of silver?!"

The ministers standing outside were stunned.

Xiao Yunzhou snorted coldly, and then pretended to be surprised and walked in.

The other ministers suddenly woke up and followed.

The old man guarding the gate of Xu's house wanted to stop him and go in to report the news, but Wei Zheng had asked the guards to ask him to step aside.

The emperor and his entourage went straight into the bamboo forest courtyard behind Xu's house without any obstruction.

I heard Xu Jijiu still getting angry at the old master of the Liu family and making excuses, "Lord Liu, don't go too far!"

"Even if you are promoted to a fourth-rank official and work in the Censorate, you don't have the emperor's order, and you are not a Jinyiwei, so why do you search my house!?"

Xu Jijiu and Mrs. Xu blocked the Liu couple tightly.

The earth pit at the feet of the old lady of the Liu family has exposed the lid of the mahogany treasure chest.

The wooden box was opened to one-third of the extent, and the dazzling white official silver inside was neatly arranged and glittering in the sunlight.

"This is a box of silver and money I have accumulated after working hard as an official for twenty years. I like to bury it under the bamboo garden to prevent thieves from home and outside! Lord Liu, do you want to take care of this too?"

Xu Jijiu shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Bah! Nonsense, Jijiu's monthly salary is 59 guan."

Old Lady Liu stepped forward and sprayed Xu Jijiu in the face.

"Except for the money to buy a house in the capital, there are also daily food and drink, carriages, grooms, servants, and family expenses, at most there is more than a hundred taels left!"

"You need at least ten years to save this box of silver, not to mention that there are at least a dozen boxes here that we have discovered! Xu Jijiu, have you been an official for more than a hundred years?"

Lady Liu's fighting ability is stronger than that of Mr. Liu.

After all, she is the housekeeper on weekdays, and she knows more about how much the salary of the Imperial College can be saved than her husband!

"Our Liu family is still poorly renting carriages, but you, Xu Jijiu, have already used ten boxes of silver to plant bamboo!"

Lady Liu's eyes turned red and she spoke venomously to Xu Jijiu.

Usually, she is also a cultured person, but today she couldn't help it.

When she thought of the patched clothes of the head of the Imperial College in front of her, greedy for the silver that her grandson would use to rule the world in the future, Lady Liu couldn't sit still.

The way she looked at Xu Jijiu was like looking at a thief who stole her cabbage!

"Master, don't waste your words on him! Go to the palace and report to the emperor immediately. I'll watch them here and prevent them from taking the silver away and hiding it!"

Old Madam Liu put her hands on her hips.

"You, you shrew——" Xu Jijiu was so angry that he couldn't even finish his words.

Madam Xu was even more aggressive and wanted to grab Madam Liu's face.

But how could a wife of an official from a scholarly family compare to the daughter of a teacher from a village?

Old Madam Liu had also gone up the mountain to hunt birds and climb trees before!

Madam Xu rushed over, and Madam Liu pushed her back with one hand, causing Madam Xu to fall into the pit with a cry of "ouch".

Now it was good, the pit that originally only exposed two or three boxes was instantly dusty again, revealing the edge wood of another two or three wooden boxes.

"Speak nicely, don't touch me." Old Madam Liu patted her clothes, very unhappy, "You are the wife of the chief priest after all, how can you be so rude?"

Xu Jijiu was so angry, but when he saw his wife fall down and had no fighting power, he was shocked and scared.

He knelt down in front of the master of the Liu family.

"Wenchang, speak softly, don't shout loudly."

"How about I give you half of this silver?"

The master of the Liu family narrowed his eyes and looked at him silently.

"Half is too little for you? That's right, you followed me in the Imperial College for more than three years before, and you have worked hard even if you have no merit. In this way, I, I will give you 60%, 70%, how about it!?"

Xu Jijiu knelt down and begged Master Liu.

"Don't make a fuss, just ask how much you want, don't sue the emperor!"

The emperor Xiao Yunzhou's footsteps stopped in front of the screen wall outside the bamboo garden.

He looked at Master Liu who was standing with his hands behind his back in the yard.

The officials behind the emperor, including Fu Cha, were all sweating.

The emperor was still so suspicious.

Even though Liu Wenchang was the fifth prince's grandfather, even though he helped the emperor to suppress the rebellion of Liao Wang and made great contributions, the emperor turned around and became suspicious again.

The emperor did not stand out at this time, but stopped outside the bamboo garden, just to test Liu Lao!

"Wenchang, I'll tell you secretly, 70%, I can give you 1 million taels."

The elders and officials from the six ministries all gasped.

Let alone Liu Wenchang, a poor guy, if it were them, with so much silver, 80% of them would not be able to withstand the temptation of Xu Jijiu to share the spoils.

After all, what happened today happened in the backyard of a priest, who would know?

The officials outside the bamboo forest looked at each other with sympathy, as if they had expected that Master Liu would agree and the emperor had overheard it.

But after a while, they heard Mrs. Liu in the bamboo garden spit with full force.

"Shame on you Xu! Not only are you greedy for money, but you also want to drag my man into the water!"

"Pooh!"

"I tell you, let alone one million taels, even if it's five million taels, you are not allowed to enter my Liu family!"

"If Liu Wenchang dares to accept this black-hearted money, even if I am called a shrew, I will break his old legs! Hang him on the wall and whip him!"

Jijiu Xu was stunned.

The ministers outside forgot to breathe.

Even Emperor Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded.

Is Concubine Liu's mother so fierce?

He instantly felt that Concubine Liu was too gentle at ordinary times.

The emperor was so grateful that his back was sweating.

But Madam Liu... is such a noble and virtuous woman!

"You, you..." Xu Jijiu in the bamboo garden was so angry that his eyes turned red, "What does a man say have to do with you, a woman! Brother Wenchang, don't listen to women's opinions! At worst, divorce her!"

Mr. Liu's eyebrows jumped, and it was too late to stop him.

Madam Liu's anger value has been upgraded, and she immediately pinned Xu Jijiu's hands to the ground!

"Old man, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go to the palace to ask the emperor for instructions!"

"I want to see how much money this dirty thing has embezzled from the people!" How much money from the treasury has she embezzled from her grandson!

"Old man, I tell you, if you want to get rich like him, give up the idea as soon as possible, otherwise if you dare to do it, I will kill my relatives for the sake of justice, you try it!"

Mrs. Liu doesn't care about her old man, the key is how her grandson and granddaughter are.

In history books, the kings of the fallen countries either committed suicide or were killed.

Princesses of fallen states had even worse fates. Many of them were humiliated to death by villains who broke into the palace.

Whoever covets the treasury's money and makes her grandchildren have a bad end in the future is her enemy!

"Shrew, bitch!" Xu Jijiu wanted to struggle, but he couldn't.

Madam Xu also rushed over and tried to grab Madam Liu's face.

Just as she was about to make a bigger fuss, she was startled by a group of people who walked into the yard.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou walked in front.

The first assistant and three deputy assistants of the cabinet were all there, and the heads of the six ministries followed behind.

Madam Xu's eyes went dark.

Xu Jijiu shuddered.

"Come here, give Madam Liu a seat."

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand while holding the little princess Chuchu who fell asleep because the carriage was too bumpy on the road.

He nodded respectfully to Madam Liu.

"Old Madam Liu has worked hard. Please sit for a while."

"Wei Zheng, have someone dig! Dig up this entire bamboo garden for me!"

Xu Jijiu collapsed to the ground.

Why did the emperor come?

Did Liu Wenchang inform the emperor before?

Impossible, impossible!

How could they have imagined that he, a man who usually patched his official robes, would be greedy for money and bury the stolen silver under the elegant bamboo garden?

How did they know in advance!

[Drop. ]

[Emperor Xiao Yunzhou, the favorability of your grandmother Old Madam Liu has risen sharply. ]

[It turns out that women are as good as men, and the ancients are not deceiving me - the emperor thinks so. ]

[Congratulations to the host, the side quest-women's status has been improved, and the completion progress is 0.5%. ]

Xiao Chuchu was woken up by the system sound in a daze, rubbed her eyes and was stunned.
