Chapter 251: Governor Liu's Plan
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Zhu Mingqing stood up and said to Luo Xiao, "Prefect Liu's table will be put on my bill today."
Just think of it as a farewell meal for the other person.
Luo Xiao quickly said, "Why do you need mother? I'll make it directly and give it to you for free."
The mother and son left the room in unison. Liu Ge said angrily, "Dad, you're the prefect of Guancheng, and look at them. They have no manners and no sense of respect!"
Magistrate Liu also felt a chill in his heart, thinking that the news must be almost true.
He raised his head and said, "Go to the capital in person and ask for the opinion of Prince Zhou. If that doesn't work, then you can just..."
Liu Ge leaned over and heard the rest of the conversation, and asked in surprise, "The Dai family has arrived. Can this be done?"
Prefect Liu snorted coldly: "Is it possible that Dai Kun will stay in Guancheng for the rest of his life?!"
Obviously, at this time, Magistrate Liu did not know the purpose of Dai Kun's visit!
Otherwise, I would have been unable to sit still by now!
…
The provincial capital.
Prince Zhou received messages from Madam Zhu and Liu Ge at the same time. The two letters were placed on the table, one on the left and one on the right.
On the left side it was written that I sincerely submit to the prince and am willing to offer my daughter to him as a token of my gratitude.
Similar content was written on the right, and it also mentioned that Magistrate Liu was plotting against Ping An.
"Prince, Magistrate Liu is the concubine's man, you must be careful!" Fugui reminded carefully.
Prince Zhou sneered: "If Concubine Xu knew that her people were determined to join forces with this prince, wouldn't she be furious?"
Fugui immediately smiled: "That's for sure, but Prince, do you really want to recruit Liu Tianhai as your subordinate?"
"People who are fickle are the worst to use!" When talking about Liu Tianhai, Prince Zhou's eyes were filled with undisguised contempt. "What's more, Dai Kun has already arrived at the city gate."
Fugui was puzzled: "Master Xiao Dai, isn't it a bit too coincidental that he arrived? After all, he is the uncle of Prefect Liu. He really won't stop your plan, Your Highness?"
"Haha." Prince Zhou smiled gently, "Minister Dai is the most selfless and dedicated to his work. Little Master Dai is Minister Dai's son!"
…
Liu Ge, who was waiting in the inn, did not receive a reply from Prince Zhou for a long time. According to the agreement with his father, two days passed and there was still no news.
He couldn't wait any longer.
As planned, a letter was secretly delivered to Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu was half lying on the chaise longue, with her left hand slightly raised, while her maid Su Qing was dyeing her hair red.
He held a piece of paper in his right hand and threw it lightly to the ground after a while.
“It’s burning!”
"yes!"
Su Qing turned her head quietly and was shocked when she saw the contents on the paper.
Concubine Xu lowered her eyes: "Why, you also want to climb into the prince's bed?"
Su Qing was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously: "This servant dare not, this servant absolutely has no such intention, Your Majesty, please understand!"
Concubine Xu snorted, "Get up!"
Su Qing no longer dared to look around and get distracted. She continued to dye the empress's hair carefully, and her movements became more and more gentle.
On the contrary, Concubine Xu was really upset when she saw the paper.
But after Suqing interrupted her, she had an idea in mind.
Ziming is still a child, and now that the prince's son has been found, the prince has become more and more inclined towards the other party. What will happen if the child returns to the mansion?
Why not take this opportunity to win the prince's heart!
"Someone come!"
She shouted to everyone inside to leave, and then ordered someone to go out of the house to look for Liu Ge.
…
Liu Ge listened to the news sent by the person opposite and his face was overjoyed: "Please rest assured, my sister is very smart and will naturally know what to do."
He was so happy that he couldn't stay even for a quarter of an hour and immediately rushed back to Guancheng to tell his father the good news.
"Okay!" Magistrate Liu said three "good"s in a row, and the first smile he had shown in a few days appeared on his face.
These days, his eldest uncle has been staying at home and has even started checking the accounts, which really makes him feel uneasy.
Now that Concubine Xu has agreed, it means that half of the matter is successful.
"But Uncle Dai is still at home. How can we send Sisi there?" Liu Ge frowned slightly. "Also, if the concubine knew that the news about the human traffickers was leaked by my father, would she do something to us..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck!
Prefect Liu said, "Ge'er, we can't take care of these things now. I'll take care of the rest. Go pack up some things and leave Guancheng tomorrow!"
Liu Ge's expression was serious: "Has it come to this?"
Prefect Liu said solemnly, "We're just preparing for a rainy day. If everything goes well and the prince marries Sisi, we won't have to worry about the account books in Zhou Shi's hands! If not, then... the Liu family will rely on you!"
Liu Ge suddenly felt uneasy: "Otherwise...Father, let's go to the frontier together. We have plenty of gold and silver anyway. Once we get there, everything will be safe!"
Prefect Liu was so disappointed: "How naive! Do you really think you can escape? If Prince Zhou tells the Hu people the truth about the human traffickers, will our family still be safe?!"
Liu Ge was extremely frustrated, feeling like nothing was working, and that was all he could do. Was he just going to sit there and wait for the outcome to unfold?!
But if the eldest lady of the Luo family had not moved in with Prince Zhou, what would be wrong with giving up a little profit?
Could it be possible that they would kill us all?!
In this way, the subsequent series of events will not happen at all!
Yes, the culprit is the Luo family!
And there’s that little boy named Zhou Shizi!
If we kidnap the other person, maybe he will give in?
Liu Ge shook his head violently, no, I simply didn’t want to live anymore!
If Prince Zhou knew about this, their family would really have no way to survive!
But what if the Luo family failed to provide adequate care?
Kill two birds with one stone! Liu Ge's eyes lit up and he thought it was a great idea.
Prefect Liu naturally didn't know what Haoda'er was planning. That night, he told his wife, "Concubine Xu from Prince Huai's mansion wants our daughter Sisi to stay with her for a few days. Please make some preparations. I will send Sisi to the prefectural capital tomorrow."
The prefect's wife's eyes widened in anger. "Everyone knows that Prince Zhou and Concubine Xu are at odds. What are you thinking of letting Sisi accompany Concubine Xu?"
Her eyes were filled with disgust, and she almost said openly that you have a pig brain.
Prefect Liu snorted coldly: "I have already planned this matter, so don't worry about it."
The prefect's wife said directly, "I simply disagree! Besides, the Crown Prince already has a child. Sisi is too simple-minded to be the Crown Prince's consort!"
Prefect Liu: "Whether you agree or not, this is Concubine Xu's intention. And you'd better persuade your uncle to avoid suspicion from the Dai family and Prince Huai's Mansion!"
The prefect's wife was immediately furious: "You threatened me!"
Magistrate Liu turned his head, lay down, closed his eyes and went to sleep, no longer paying attention to the other party.
The prefect's wife tossed and turned and did not sleep well all night.
