Chapter 373

Her voice dropped until it was completely eliminated.

Xu Shian's cold thin ice like eyes have been staring at her. The light of those eyes is too scary. She can't go on.

Seeing her own silence, Xu Shian rolled up the painting and put it aside, and his manicured nails beat the table rhythmically.

"Now that the eldest princess has forgotten, the Wei minister is reluctant to help you recall. Cheng Guogong, the elder of the two dynasties, holds the sword given by the former Emperor in his hand. He kills the emperor and punishes the sycophant minister. Do you think he will be afraid of a small four grade official?"

Before Yan Luoqing answered, Xu Shian continued, "besides, before that, he probably didn't know he Donglai. The eldest princess thought he would spend so much money to beg he Donglai? If Cheng Guogong is so stupid and incompetent, he can't afford the prestige of his general if he relies on silver to solve everything“

Xu Shian's frightening eyes looked at Yan Luoqing again. A mocking smile appeared at the corners of his mouth and said softly, "so, the eldest princess still doesn't admit that he Donglai was instructed by you?"

Yan Luoqing's lips were bitten. Although she tried her best to restrain, she was still trembling. She had never felt like she was pinched by life. She was like a fish dragged out of the water. Even breathing became very difficult.

"What on earth do you want to do when you tell me this? Are you going to expose me in front of your father? "

Xu Shian raised his eyebrows slightly, got up and walked to the position where Yan Luoqing was sitting. He bent down slightly and bowed his head from a high position. His voice returned to his usual warm and jade tone. Just every word he said was like cutting one blood hole after another on Yan Luoqing's heart with the sharpest knife.

"I just want to tell you that you can be a little ashamed in the future. Don't worry about me."

……

Xu Guogong's wife, Su Shi, just opened the excellent Biluochun and was about to take it to quench the long princess's thirst. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Yan Luoqing who hurried out of the door.

The hot tea spilled all over her. Su was stunned and was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe her. Yan Luoqing ran away in a panic. Su couldn't stop her.

The servant girl who followed the sound quickly cleaned up the debris on the ground. Su Shi looked at Yan Luoqing who fled strangely and wanted to ask what happened. Xu Shian looked indifferent and played with an inkstone.

She didn't know what her son was going to do. The room full of gold and silver treasures dazzled her eyes. There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart, "Shian, are you really going to take so many gold and silver treasures?"

I'm afraid the reward adds up to tens of thousands of liang of silver. Your majesty is very generous.

Xu Shian said noncommittally, "take it. Why not? Your majesty is gracious. As a minister, you must understand his good intentions."

This silver may feel hot in the eyes of others, but in his opinion, it is the east wind that helps him make progress!

In the next few days, as he expected, the threshold of Duke Xu's government was about to be broken. Relatives who could hardly call their names now sprung up to have ties with him.

According to Xu Shian's instructions, all the gifts brought by those people were received. Except for staying with the famous post, Xu Shian did a great job. He didn't even arrange a simple meal.

Those people didn't dare to say it to their face, but secretly made Xu Shian's stomach a few times. They said that he was like an Iron Rooster. He had a big appetite than gluttonous food. He could do things like a pig, but he couldn't get in or out.

Scattered gossip came to Xu Shian's ears, but he laughed it off and still accepted all the people who came to congratulate him.

A few days later, the excitement gradually dissipated. Xu Shian personally transferred the cashier from the military and Horse Department to check the accounts together, and then pulled the congratulatory gifts and the gold, silver and jewelry given by his majesty to the melting pot.

With him were the Minister of the Ministry of war and the Minister of household.

Now it is the beginning of winter, and the weather is getting colder, but the soldiers in the furnace workshop are still naked, wearing only underwear that can hold the key parts.

Even so, those people were covered with beads of sweat.

Melting pot workshop, as its name implies, is the place where silver is melted and money is cast. Every one or two silver of Dayan is registered here and then circulated. It is also one of the places under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of household.

Today, Xu Shian set foot in this place because he wanted to do a big thing!

”Two adults, can you weigh it carefully? "

Xu Shian asked with a smile, staring at the two people.

"Mr. Xu, you can see clearly. With gold and silver, the total is 92662. The quantity is the same..."

The smile piled up on Xu Shian Jun's face was deeper, "OK, let's start melting?"

"OK, OK, this way, please."

He had been in this hot furnace workshop for a full day, watching those gold and silver devices turn into silver water and then cast into silver coins of the same amount. After Xu Shian and the Minister of war went through the handover procedures, he dragged his soaked clothes and tired body back to the Duke of Xu.

As soon as he got home, Xu Cheng came over angrily before he had time to drink. He couldn't help saying "pa!" Xu Shian stumbled and hit the pear blossom wood chair next to him.

He just sat and lay in a chair.

Too tired to move.

This slap did not relieve Xu Cheng's anger. He was almost hysterical. "Xu Shian, you beast, I think you are really crazy. Do you know that melting silver privately is a capital crime and should be copied all over the house! You worthless bastard! "

Xu Shian's ear kept buzzing when he was slapped. He touched the just beaten left cheek with the tip of his tongue. There was a faint smell of blood. His father's slap was really dead and bled him.

One day without water, Xu Shian was beaten as soon as he came home. Xu Shian was a little weak and weak. "Who did my father listen to?"

When Xu Cheng heard that he didn't know anything, he was even more angry and roared, "do you still need to hear? How many eyes have you been staring at the Xu family since you took the Qingyun ladder? As long as a little mistake is caught, it will be magnified countless times. At the moment, I'm afraid your majesty has received the news. Tomorrow, you are expected to become the third ranking official with the shortest term in the history of Dayan state. At that time, our Xu family will be ridiculed by the whole world! "
