"Madam, how about we go into the city tomorrow and get some aphrodisiac for my husband? To give him some nourishment?"
Xu Ruolan blinked.
Li Xiuning immediately shook her head: "I'm not going."
"Why? You are the eldest wife, and you are responsible for expanding the Chen family. You must pay attention to this matter!"
Xu Ruolan spoke unhappily.
"If you want to go, go by yourself!" Li Xiuning refused again.
"Forget it, Sister Liu, Sister Lu, let's go together."
Xu Ruolan went straight to win over the other young sisters.
However, Liu Yiyi and the others immediately shook their heads like rattles, saying they were unwilling to do it no matter what. It was so embarrassing!
"Okay, okay, since none of you are going, I'll go get the medicine myself!"
Xu Ruolan put her hands on her hips and said angrily.
At the city gate.
"Stop, stop, the city gate is closed. If you want to enter the city, come back tomorrow!"
The main city gate was closed, leaving only a small gate to accommodate two or three people in and out.
The rule of the Barbarian City is that after dark, no one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of the governor.
"Open your eyes and take a good look at who I am!"
Liao Jun stood behind without saying a word, but Liu Jinyu had already strode forward, with his hands on his hips and his chin held high, looking extremely arrogant.
"Who the hell are you? So arrogant?"
The soldiers guarding the city immediately became angry.
People like them are collectively called military masters. All the ordinary people who come and go have to be respectful to them.
"You're rebelling? If I don't teach you a lesson, do you think you can go to heaven?"
One of the soldiers immediately took out a whip and prepared to beat the man.
"Hey, are you crazy? Do you know who he is?"
However, some of the other soldiers guarding the city recognized Liu Jinyu, were shocked, and quickly grabbed the man holding the whip.
The man holding the whip was startled and asked quickly, "Who is he? Is he someone important?"
"I don't know if he's a big shot or not, but his master is a lunatic. He's the Chen Xuan who killed the captain and kidnapped Master Zhang and Master Qin!"
Hearing this, the man holding the whip shuddered with fear.
Chen Xuan?
This name has become well-known among the Barbarian City army recently.
After all, what he did was too outrageous, even their leader Ling Mo was seriously injured!
"Damn it, no wonder you're so arrogant!"
The man holding the whip was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly looked behind Liu Jinyu, but didn't see Chen Xuan, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, since this person can follow Chen Xuan, he must not be a good person.
"Sir, I am so sorry. I was blind and offended you just now. I was wrong. I apologize."
The soldier holding the whip slapped himself twice on both sides and kept bowing to apologize.
Liu Jinyu was a little stunned. He just pretended to be strong and domineering in order to scare these soldiers guarding the city.
I never expected that I could scare the other person like this?
It seems that Master Chen's reputation is really deeply rooted in people's hearts. It's almost as if people are terrified by the mere mention of him.
"You know that I am going to the city, Grandpa Liu. Why are you still standing here without any eyes?"
Liu Jinyu started to curse loudly and was directly insulting him.
In fact, if you are polite to these soldiers guarding the city, they will not take you seriously.
As long as you don't treat him as a human being, he will be respectful to you.
This is human nature, fearing power rather than virtue.
"Don't be angry, sir. I will open the city gate for you right away."
Several soldiers guarding the city laughed dryly and immediately took the initiative to open the small gate into the city.
Liu Jinyu waved his hand, and several of his men immediately half-carried Liao Jun into the city.
"Why does one of them look particularly familiar?"
"You mean the one in the middle?"
"Yes, he looks especially like Mr. Liao from the Liao family?"
After Liu Jinyu and his companions entered the city and walked away, the soldiers guarding the city dared to start discussing.
"What do you mean by like the son of the Liao family? That's the son of the Liao family, Liao Jun! Have you forgotten? Liao Jun was kidnapped today! It was this Chen Xuan who did it!"
A soldier immediately slapped his head and said, "If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about it. Didn't the Liao family's head take people to redeem the person? Why didn't the Liao family's head come back, but his son did?"
"What the hell is he doing here? Can't you see that there are people watching his son from both sides? He must be being held hostage!"
"Go, go, go, report this matter to the governor immediately!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Liao Mansion.
Under Liu Jinyu's watchful eyes, Liao Jun had to gather all the servants of the Liao family and load the rice from the Liao family's rice shop in Mancheng into barrels, intending to transport it out of the city by horse-drawn carriage!
There was no way out. After all, this Barbarian City was still the place of the prefect Zhang Tao. Although the rice belonged to the Liao family, it also belonged to Zhang Tao at the same time. Zhang Tao could take it whenever he wanted and emptied the Liao family's rice shop, and no one dared to stop him.
However, the situation is different when the grain is transported out of the city.
As long as this thing leaves the city, it will really belong to Chen Xuan.
Even if Zhang Tao coveted it, he wouldn't dare to snatch it, unless he dared to break up with Chen Xuan!
Liao Jun watched barrels of rice being loaded into carriages and pulled to the Liao Mansion, and his heart was bleeding as he watched these barrels of rice being loaded into carriages and pulled to the Liao Mansion. These rice would soon be dragged to Chen Xuan's place.
This rice is real money!
They collected the blood and sweat of countless people to get this money.
Now, it all belongs to Chen Xuan!
The prefectural government.
Zhang Tao naturally knew what had happened.
He called Qin Baiye and Chen Kun over and told them the situation.
"What do you two think about this?"
Zhang Tao looked at Qin Baiye and Chen Kun calmly.
Qin Baiye wanted to laugh in his heart, he had a feeling of gloating. The Liao family also suffered, and it was even more severe than his Qin family. Having someone to take the blame made him feel a lot better.
Of course, this kind of feeling cannot be shown. Qin Baiye clenched his fists, looking bitter and resentful: "This damn Chen Xuan is greedy. Master Chen, what do you think?"
He directly threw the question to Chen Kun.
Chen Kun said expressionlessly, "How else can I see it? Didn't the governor just say that? The one who returned to the city this time was the subordinate next to Chen Xuan. I know that subordinate. His name is Liu Jinyu. He is not a good person!"
When Liu Jinyu was mentioned, a fierce look flashed in Chen Kun's eyes.
His impression of Liu Jinyu was very deep, to the point of hatred.
At that time, he told Chen Xuan that as long as Liu Jinyu was handed over to him, all the previous grudges could be written off, and even the incident of Chen Xuan kicking a servant of the Chen family to death could be forgiven. As a result, Chen Xuan didn't give him any face at all!
"Sir Governor, we now have two choices. Do you want to hear them?"
Chen Kun said with a frown.
