Ye Hongtu pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the voice of his young lady.

[The most hateful thing is that Zhou Tai, when he was desperate and almost starved to death on the street, his uncle took him in and gave him a job. 】

[Who would have thought that 놛 could be bought so easily. 】

[As for Lu Zhixing, he naturally has his own selfish motives. As long as he gets his uncle out of office, he can take his place.]

"So that's how it is. Did the Xiao family end up in the hands of these two people?"

"Damn Zhou Tai, I didn't expect him to be such an ungrateful person."

"And Lu Zhixing, as expected, he must have borrowed some power."

"Otherwise, it would not be that easy for a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the Ministry of Revenue had three important positions: Minister of Revenue and Left Vice Minister.

The power of the Left Minister is greater than that of the Right Minister.

Under normal circumstances, once the Minister of Revenue steps down, the probability of the Left Vice Minister taking over is higher.

So, after hearing Ye Chuyao's voice, Ye Hongtu made such a guess.

"No matter what, I must find an opportunity to remind my brother-in-law to pay close attention to these two."

"Otherwise, if the Xiao family is destroyed, it will be a heavy blow to our Ye family."

The Xiao family and the Ye family have always had a good relationship.

Every time Ye Hongtu went on an expedition, he would just leave the issue of food and fodder to Xiao Quan, and nothing would go wrong.

To be honest, Xiao Quan played a big role in the fact that Dong was able to win every battle and become a victorious general that terrified the enemy.

At this time, Ye Chuyao's mumbling sound was heard again.

[Alas! The destruction of the Xiao family is the greatest help to Dad. 】

[After Lu Zhixing became the Minister of Revenue, he opposed Dad in every way.]

[Later, during the battle of Pingyao Pass, Dad was short of food and fodder, and he repeatedly asked Yanjing City for support, but Lu Zhixing held on to the food and fodder.]

[Of course, this cannot be done without the dog emperor's instructions. There is no other way. Daddy has 500,000 soldiers and is invincible.]

[This army absolutely obeys Daddy's orders. Some even jokingly call this army the "Ye Family Army". Under such circumstances, it would be strange if the dog emperor did not suspect Daddy. ]

[I blame my father for being slow to react. He didn't realize that he had already surpassed his master in merit and deserved the praise of the dog emperor.]

Ye Chuyao's words made Ye Hongtu's expression change.

We all know that once the Xiao family is destroyed, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Ye family.

Unexpectedly, the enemy destroyed the Xiao family just to cut off their food and grass at a critical moment.

Now I understand why I was starved to death during the battle with the enemy.

How can we fight a war if we have no food or fodder?

But since it was a matter of national war, Lu Zhixing did not dare to do such a thing.

Without someone else's instruction, I would not dare to do it even if I had a hundred courages. After all, this is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan.

There are only a handful of people who can command the Minister of Finance, and I'm afraid the only one is the high and mighty Emperor Yan.

"Haha, I, Ye Hongtu, am only suitable for fighting. Being involved in officialdom is really not my strong point."

"I thought that our Ye family's loyalty to the emperor and the country, and our fearlessness of death, would bring us eternal glory, but I never expected..."

At this moment, Ye Hongtu felt a chill.

I finally understood why the precious girl always called the emperor "dog emperor" when she mentioned him.

The Ye family, who were loyal to the emperor and defended the country, were actually schemed against by the emperor.

Who can believe this?

"It seems that the Xiao family cannot fail."

"We must not allow Lu Zhixing to take the position of Minister of Revenue."

"Since we have already seized the initiative, there must be a way to remedy the situation. It seems that 놚 and 꽬그 should have a good discussion on this matter."

"Also, I must remind my brother-in-law to be on guard against Zhou Tai and Lu Zhixing."

"It is obvious that the Xiao family was framed by these two people."

Ye Hongtu was thinking in his heart.

[Ahhh! I'm so sad. I know it's coming, but I can't say it. ]

[What should I do to save my uncle from this disaster? ]

Ye Chuyao's face wrinkled and her brows were furrowed, looking very worried.

How could she know that her voice had been heard clearly by him.

"My dear daughter, just let it go."

"With your reminder, if I still let your uncle's family be ruined, then I, your father, will be a waste."

"Daddy promises you that he will never let your uncle lose his business."

Ye Hongtu swore secretly.

She has the same trouble as her daughter, which is that she can't express her thoughts frankly.

[Wuwuwu, so sleepy! Forget it, forget it, it’s broken! ]

[Wake up first, and think of a solution after your uncle comes. ]

[If I remember correctly, the bank was stolen the night after tomorrow. ]

【There is still time. 】

After all, he is still a newborn baby, and his spirit cannot be compared with that of an adult.

Ye Chuyao fell asleep not long after she finished speaking.

But her last few words gave Ye Hongtu a reminder.

"Hmm? The night after tomorrow?"

"With this key information, I will lead the troops secretly and ambush near the Ministry of Revenue's warehouse."

"Then we will definitely be able to catch the guy who stole the treasury silver."

"If we can find Lu Zhixing directly, then the crisis of the Xiao family will be resolved."

Ye Hongtu was a little worried at first, but now he feels at ease.

If he had mastered such important intelligence but still couldn't rescue the Xiao family, this great general who protected the country would have bought a piece of tofu and hit himself to death.

........

The next day, Ye Chuyao had just woken up when she saw Aunt Zhao pushing the door and walking in with a bowl of medicine.

"Girl, this is the medicine that Master asked me to make for you."

"It contains the aged ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that Erji sent over. They are very good for replenishing qi and blood."

"Ganoderma lucidum?"

Xiao 꽬그 raised his eyebrows and suddenly reacted.

She remembered that Ye Hongtu had solemnly told her last night that he would ask Aunt Zhao to prepare some medicinal food for her.

And some other Ganoderma lucidum will be used to replace the Netherworld Blood Ganoderma.

Why did he do this? Of course, he was performing it for Liu Anxiu to lower her guard.

Otherwise, if she knew that Xiao Xiao didn't take the Netherworld Blood Ganoderma she gave him, she might get suspicious.

"I'm not hungry now, I'll eat later!"

As soon as Xiao 꽬그 finished speaking, Liu Anxiu's familiar voice came from the other side.

"My dear sister, how are you today?"

"Your sister is here to visit you!"

“Is it convenient now?”

Xiao 꽬그's eyes turned cold, but he still said calmly:

"Sister, why do you have to be so polite? Just come in."

"Okay, sister, I'll go in now!"

I heard the door creak and then it was pushed open.

Liu Anxiu walked in wearing a red long dress and smiling.

When she saw the medicine that Aunt Zhao was holding, her eyes suddenly froze.
