Chapter 250 Dai Kun
Master Liu was afraid: "I once met the steward of Prince Huai's mansion and met him!"
Bang--
Magistrate Liu clapped his hands, and the teacup on the table hit the ground with a harsh sound.
"Have the account books arrived at Prince Huai's mansion?" he asked through gritting his teeth.
Master Liu's heart trembled. "I don't know either. Ever since we found his tracks in the capital, there has always been someone around him. We really can't catch him."
Prefect Liu's breath fluctuated, and his brows knitted together: "Then it seems that we must prepare for the worst!"
It is said that the human trafficking case will not be pursued, but with the Xu family as the trigger, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen.
"Brother-in-law, don't scare me. What are your plans?" Mr. Liu's voice trembled.
At this point, Magistrate Liu no longer hid the secret from him and told him the list.
Mr. Liu collapsed in his chair, his face pale: "Brother-in-law, you are harming me!"
"Don't worry, your name is not on the list!" Prefect Liu said coldly, seeing his useless look.
Master Liu's face instantly regained its color, and he patted his chest, looking like he had survived a disaster: "That's good, that's good!"
"However, if I can't escape, how will you live in the future?" Prefect Liu said to him, "Deal with your property now, just in case."
Master Liu: "It shouldn't be that serious."
"Stop talking nonsense. Just handle it as I tell you to!" Magistrate Liu slapped him on the forehead.
Master Liu dodged quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll go back and deal with it now, is that okay?"
After sending the people away, Magistrate Liu sat alone in the study until dark, and then went to the courtyard of the magistrate's wife.
"Master, why are you here so late?" The magistrate's wife hurriedly ordered someone to bring toiletries and help him change clothes and take a bath.
It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
The prefect's wife also spoke softly.
Until the two of them lay on the bed and talked about their daughter's marriage.
"I want to take my daughter back to Beijing to visit my parents. It has been five years since we last met." The prefect's wife sighed.
Magistrate Liu stared at the ceiling of the bed and said calmly, "I know you're worried about your daughter's marriage. I already have an idea in mind. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
The prefect's wife stood up instantly and asked, "Which family are you talking about, Master?"
Magistrate Liu was silent.
A bad premonition came over her. The prefect's wife didn't care that it was late at night and raised her voice by two notches: "Hurry up and tell me!"
The faint candlelight flickered slightly, and the night that should have been warm was gradually shrouded in a stagnant atmosphere.
Thinking about the recent rumors, the prefect's wife immediately had a thought in her mind: "Prince Zhou of Prince Huai's Mansion?!"
Prefect Liu nodded slightly: "Not bad."
The prefect's wife frowned: "Do you want your daughter to be your second wife? I don't agree!"
Prefect Liu glanced at her coldly and said, "I've already decided on this matter. I'll ask someone to do it tomorrow!"
"You!" The prefect's wife was furious and tossed and turned all night long. She wanted to take her daughter directly to the capital, but she was afraid of really offending Prince Huai's mansion.
The next day, she looked very unhappy. Liu Sisi came to visit her and learned that her parents had quarreled over her marriage.
She comforted him, "Mother, don't be angry. If I really marry into Prince Huai's mansion, firstly, I can help my father, and secondly, I will be close to my mother. I don't want to go to a place as far away as the capital."
The prefect's wife's heart softened immediately: "Don't worry, Sisi, mother will definitely find you a husband who loves you."
Liu Sisi's face turned red. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a servant's announcement from outside: Someone from the Dai family in the capital is coming!
The prefect's wife was delighted: "Sisi, it's your grandfather!"
The mother and daughter put on their makeup again and went to the main hall.
I saw that Prefect Liu, who had gone to the government office early in the morning, was having a pleasant conversation with the visitor.
The man from the Dai family was none other than the wife of the prefect's brother, Dai Kun, who had a serious appearance and was now serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of auditing household registration, collecting taxes and labor service, etc.
“Big Brother!”
The magistrate's wife's eyes suddenly turned red.
Dai Kun looked at his sister and niece whom he hadn't seen for many years, and a smile spread across his lips. He stood up and said, "Little sister, Sisi."
Prefect Liu was also very tactful: "Brother and Madam have not seen each other for many years. I am sure they have a lot to talk about. I have something else to do at the government office, so I will go to work first."
Dai Kun ignored him.
Magistrate Liu did not feel embarrassed. He touched his nose and gave his wife a suggestive look before leaving, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
As soon as she saw him disappear, the magistrate's wife asked her daughter to prepare a residence for her eldest brother personally, and make sure it was comfortable.
Liu Sisi smiled shyly and agreed.
Dai Kun also realized that his sister had something to say to him, so he asked someone to take out the gifts for his niece, nearly ten boxes, and carry them to her yard.
"Thank you, uncle!" Liu Sisi bowed slightly, "Then Sisi will leave first."
Only the brother and sister were left in the room, and the magistrate's wife couldn't hold back her tears.
"Little sister, if you have any grievances, tell your big brother. Your big brother and father will stand up for you!" Dai Kun straightened his back and spoke in a serious voice.
The prefect's wife chuckled, tears in her eyes: "Are father and mother in good health?"
Dai Kun nodded slightly: "Everything is fine, I'm just worried about you. Didn't you say you would return to Beijing this year? Why haven't you made any movement?"
The prefect's wife wiped her eyes and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Guancheng?"
Dai Kun pulled out a letter from his sleeve: "This is from your father. He was afraid you wouldn't agree, so he asked me to take you and Sisi back to Beijing!"
The magistrate's wife was puzzled. When she opened it, her pupils trembled!
"This... How could Father think so?!"
Dai Kun said calmly, "Why, you can't bear to let go?"
…
Guancheng government office.
Magistrate Liu felt uneasy, always feeling that his brother-in-law's visit this time was not a good thing.
Especially since the other party is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who is in charge of auditing.
"Come here, let's have a banquet at Huaxiang Building at noon. Please invite Madam Zhu and tell her that I have something important to discuss!"
Lunch time.
The second floor of Huaxiang Building.
Prefect Liu and Zhu Mingqing sat opposite each other, with Liu Ge and Luo Xiao beside them.
No one touched the food on the table, and everyone was waiting for the other person to speak.
Finally, Magistrate Liu couldn't hold back any longer and asked tentatively, "I heard that Crown Prince Zhou's beloved son is living in Madam's residence. I wonder if I would have the honor of visiting him?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly: "Sir, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Prefect Liu: "Then I'll be direct. Here are some gifts. I hope Madam can give them to the Crown Prince. Please also tell him that I have a beloved daughter..."
Zhu Mingqing raised his hand to interrupt: "Sorry, I can't do this!"
This Magistrate Liu must have received the news, which is why she wanted to take the measure of marrying into the family. However, she just hoped that the other party would get into trouble soon, so how could she possibly help?
Seeing her being so rude, Liu Ge thought that she was just relying on the influence of Prince Zhou. When Sisi married into Prince Huai's mansion, then...
The look in his eyes as he stared at the other person gradually became gloomy.
