After all, it’s better to let him open the city gate first.
As for informing the prefect, he could just go and report it. Zhang Tao must have known about his entry into the city a long time ago.
If Zhang Tao wanted to stop them from transporting the rice, Liu Jinyu didn't care. He could just report the matter to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan would take care of it.
The captain guarding the city hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth, ordered the city gate to be opened, and sent someone to report to the prefectural government.
Anyway, when the time comes, the prefect's office will ask him to stop it, and if he tries to stop it again, and the prefect's office doesn't let him stop it, then everyone will be happy, and everyone will live in peace and not interfere with each other.
"You are a smart kid!"
Seeing that the centurion obediently opened the city gate under his threat, Liu Jinyu laughed and felt secretly happy.
It feels so good to make others wary or even afraid with just one sentence!
He waved his hand, and a convoy of rice consisting of horse-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carts, and ox-drawn carts marched out of the city.
The soldiers guarding the city retreated to both sides of the city gate and watched the convoy leave the city.
"Report, the order from the governor has arrived!"
A soldier came galloping on horseback, and his horse stopped in front of the centurion, and he dismounted.
"What did the governor say?"
The centurion's expression suddenly became a little nervous.
If the governor's order was to prevent them from leaving the city, would he execute the order or refuse?
Go ahead and execute it. Chen Xuan is no pushover. The captain who was killed yesterday is still dead, and Commander Ling Mo is still recovering from his injuries.
If we don’t execute it, we won’t be able to explain to the prefectural government.
In short, he was in a dilemma, with his head tied to his neck.
"The governor said to let them out of the city!"
The soldier reports.
Hearing this, the centurion immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Letting them out of the city means that everything will be fine, and his life will be temporarily safe.
"Even the governor has compromised. It seems that Chen Xuan is really difficult to deal with."
The centurion murmured to himself that he would try to take a detour when he saw Chen Xuan and the people around him in the future.
It took a total of six trips back and forth to transport 10,000 dan of rice out of the city.
Liu Jinyu ordered people to build a temporary granary near the courtyard.
By the time everything was done, it was already dawn.
Liu Jinyu did not disturb Chen Xuan's sleep, but waited for him to wake up naturally. After all, in his opinion, Chen Xuan should be hugging one of his concubines at this moment.
"Master Liu, I have already given you 10,000 dan of rice. I am very sleepy. Can you let me sleep for a while?"
Liao Jun spoke with a weak look on his face.
This guy hasn't eaten a grain of rice or drunk a sip of water since he was kidnapped yesterday. In addition, he has injuries on his body and has not slept all night. He is now exhausted.
"Your father hasn't been released yet, how can you sleep?"
Liu Jinyu looked at him teasingly. Liao Jun was now obedient and would call him "Master" whenever he saw him.
"I have already given you the rice you requested. I believe that Master Chen is a man of his word. You will definitely release my father. I want to sleep for a while now."
Liao Jun still looked weak, as if his body had been drained by the beauty, and he would be exhausted if he exerted himself a little.
"You are such a filial son." Liu Jinyu smiled.
Seeing him smile, Liao Jun quickly said, "Master Liu, can I take a rest now?"
Liu Jinyu's face suddenly turned stern: "No! Master Chen hasn't woken up yet, why are you sleeping? If you have anything to say, wait until Master Chen wakes up. If you dare to sleep, I'll break your legs!"
It was so cruel and ruthless that Liao Jun felt completely terrified and his stomach growled.
Liu Jinyu glanced at him and sneered, "Do you feel what it's like to be hungry? When you, the Liao family, were enjoying delicious food and drinks, did you ever think about the poor people who starved to death?"
"You, the Liao family, are completely devoid of conscience and worse than pigs and dogs. Can't you bear to be starved for a day? Just wait here obediently!"
He originally wanted to ask his men to give Liao Jun a piece of sesame cake to fill his stomach, but then he changed his mind and thought about how many ordinary people had starved to death because the Liao family raised the price of rice.
In comparison, Liao Jun was at most starving, but others lost their lives.
Don’t look at Liao Jun’s pitiful appearance now. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
Liao Jun's face was pale, and he looked like half dead. He sat down on the ground with a limp.
There was no way. I was hungry and sleepy. I was exhausted and felt dizzy when I stood up.
"Did I ask you to sit down?"
Liu Jinyu glared at him fiercely and shouted, "Stand up!"
Liao Jun shuddered. He was really afraid of him and climbed up tremblingly.
I had just stood up and hadn't even stood firmly when I suddenly felt dizzy, saw stars, and staggered to the point of falling.
On the side, Xiao Liuzi was quick-witted and immediately went over to hold him.
"What are you doing? I asked you to stand still and you staggered."
Xiao Liuzi sighed, "Rich young men like you eat delicacies from land and sea every day, how come your bodies are still so weak? You are too useless."
"Xiao Liuzi, hold him like this, don't let him lie down."
Liu Jinyu gave an order.
"Hehe, please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Liuzi smiled.
Then he called two people over, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled Liao Jun's hands apart into a straight line. They held him like that, and Liao Jun had to stand, enduring the painful torture.
He wanted to cry but had no tears. Isn't this just tormenting?
"Or you could just kill me!" Liao Jun really couldn't stand it anymore.
"You can't bear it just now? We haven't started the torture yet."
Xiao Liuzi laughed.
Liu Jinyu gave the order directly: "If he dares to cry miserably again and says he will be killed, do not hesitate, just break his neck!"
After saying this, he went to guard the gate of the courtyard. As soon as Chen Xuan came out, he would immediately take credit.
Liao Jun felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He originally wanted to play a pitiful role, but after hearing what Liu Jinyu said, he was so scared that he dared not say a word.
I don’t know how long I suffered.
The sun is high in the sky.
In the courtyard, Chen Xuan finally woke up. As soon as he left the room, Xu Ruolan and the others had already prepared breakfast for him, as well as water and towels for washing.
"Husband, you finally woke up!"
Xu Ruolan's delicate voice rang out.
Among so many women in the whole yard, she is the only one who is so passionate towards me every time.
"Well, you guys have worked hard."
Looking at the clean courtyard and the fragrant breakfast, Chen Xuan couldn't help but speak. He felt relieved that he was nice to these women and they were also nice to him.
"It's not hard. My husband is working hard outside to earn money. As women, we must take good care of this small family." Xu Ruolan smiled gently.
