Chapter 597

Liu Xiu looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "when you were outside the camp, I heard the voice of conversation, and said that there was a smile. The atmosphere was harmonious. But now when I came in, my faces looked nervous and worried. Are you going to eat people? "

When they heard the words, they all laughed.

"Adults joked, just suddenly see adults, a little nervous in the heart."

"Yes, my Lord is famous all over the world. Now I see a real person, I really feel a little uncomfortable. "

"I'm excited. I'm excited."

One by one, they began to speak, all explaining.

But in their hearts, they secretly scold Liu Xiu. They all think it's no good for Liu Xiu to look for them. After all, they have to pay for their food. It's all a knife on their meat.

Liu Xiu raised his hand to press down, and the tent was quiet.

Everyone shut up and stopped talking.

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on everyone and said, "I invite you here for the sake of food."

Brush!

Countless people have changed their faces.

Although everyone knew in advance, they were nervous when they got the exact answer.

Food!

Whether it's officials or soldiers inside the city, or Liu Xiu's army outside the city, they all need a lot of food.

To let them take out food is like cutting meat on them.

Liu Xiu glanced at everyone's reaction and continued: "as we all know, Cao Cao's withdrawal took away all the food, money and equipment, which made Chang'an difficult to operate. So now, you need to work together to solve this problem. "

"My Lord, I have something to say."

Suddenly, a fat middle-aged man stood up and bowed his hands.

Liu xiudao: "you are?"

The fat man replied, "in the lower Song Dynasty, he was a businessman in Chang'an."

Liu xiudao: "what do you want to say?"

Song Yuan replied, "what I want to say is that my business has been greatly affected by years of war and exorbitant taxes. Over the years, the officers and soldiers cut leeks one after another, which made the Song family unable to operate at all. So far, our income is not enough to make ends meet

Liu Xiu asked, "Song Yuan, are you sure?"

Song Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "sure!"

Liu Xiu chuckled. Instead of looking at Song Yuan, he turned to the other businessmen and asked, "where are you

"My Lord, it's the same at home."

As the voice fell, an old man with a clear face stood up.

Liu Xiu asked, "who are you?"

The old man introduced himself: "I am Xue Zhao, the head of the Xue family in Chang'an. Just as Song Yuan said, Cao Cao, Li Yi and others have come to snatch one after another, which makes us really unable to support. "

Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "what about the others? Any more? "

When they asked again, everyone was on guard, and their eyes were cautious.

Liu Xiu has never made a statement. I don't know what it means?

If the bet is wrong, it's a disaster.

Liu Xiu saw that all of them did not speak, and said, "it seems that the song and Xue families can't afford food and money, which means that the rest of the families can afford it, right?"

In a word, the faces of the families who did not speak changed greatly. If it's true, as Liu Xiu said, we have to pay for food, that's the real tragedy.

"My Lord, I have something to say."

Suddenly, another man stood up and bowed to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said, "what is your name?"

To humanity: "I'm Zhu Yan, a businessman in Chang'an city."

Liu xiudao: "what do you want to say?"

Zhu Yan replied, "the Zhu family is in the same situation. It's hard for them to bear the burden of food and money. After all, the Zhu family has encountered difficulties now! "

Liu Xiu nodded slightly and said, "I know."

With that, Liu Xiu looked at the others and said, "is there anyone else besides Song Yuan, Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan?"

At this time, Liu Xiu asked for the third time.

At this inquiry, the people in the camp suddenly felt strange.

This is not right!

All the aristocratic families and businessmen who had planned to make their way to the top of the world forbeared, stopped talking and quietly watched the development of the situation.

Liu Xiu saw people's faces and knew that no one would come out again. Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Song Yuan, Xue Zhao and Zhu Yan, and said, "I'll ask you again. Are you really at the end of your tether and can't give you money and food?"

There is a little coldness in the words.

When Song Yuan and others heard the speech, their faces became serious.

Xue Zhao suddenly said, "my Lord, I just thought that the Xue family still has some food."

Then Xue called back to his seat.Liu Xiu looked at Song Yuan and Zhu Yan again and said, "are you two sure?"

"Sure!"

Song Yuan didn't even think about it, so he spoke directly.

Zhu Yan also said: "yes, the Zhu family is at the end of its tether."

Liu Xiu showed a smile on his face and said, "very good."

"Yellow tiger, please."

At Liu Xiu's command, the soldiers went down to give orders.

After a while, Huang Hu, dressed in armor, strode in, knelt down on one knee and saluted Liu Xiu with his fist clasped: "finally, Huang Hu, meet the Lord."

Liu Xiu raised his hand and Huang Hu stood up.

Liu xiudao: "Tang people!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

As a county magistrate, Tang Min came out obediently.

Liu xiudao: "you lead Huang Hu, let him take 500 soldiers to Zhu's and song's, and carefully check whether Zhu's and song's have stored grain and money."

"Yes

Tang Min and Huang Hu were ordered at the same time.

When Zhu Yan and Song Yuan heard the speech, their faces changed greatly, and their eyes were full of surprise.

This is robbery!

Zhu Yanlian said: "you can't do this, my Lord!"

Song Yuan said: "my Lord, we have not broken the law. You directly send troops to break into the house. What's the reason?"

The two men had a great conflict with Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I suspect that you are Cao Cao's hidden stake in Chang'an, so today, we must give an account. This matter must be verified. If we fight Cao Cao, we may lose everything. So I'd rather kill one thousand than one. Now that I have received the news that you are colluding with Cao Cao, I must check it out. "

Zhu Yan smell speech, the body all slight tremble.

How cruel!

Liu Xiu is so cruel!

Song Yuan also glared, did not expect Liu Xiuhui to do so.

The rest of them were glad that they didn't rush up, otherwise they would be shot.

Cao Cao took all the food and money away. Liu Xiu must be crazy if he doesn't have food and money. He will try every means to get food and money. Now he's fighting against Liu Xiu, and he'll be beaten.

Liu Xiu stares at them with a smile. He believes Song Yuan and Zhu Yan will make the right decision.

In an extraordinary period, we should take extraordinary measures.

Chang'an is short of food. If Liu Xiu doesn't do so, it will drag down the army, affect countless soldiers, and further affect Liu Xiu's overall situation of taking Chang'an.

Therefore, anyone who dares to stop is Liu Xiu's enemy.

Zhu Yan took a deep breath and said, "my Lord, the Zhu family is willing to help. Since the adults are short of food, the Zhu family will give their full support even if they are selling iron by smashing the pot. "

At this stage, if Zhu Yan resists again, the loss will be even greater.

Song Yuan was alone and didn't dare to fight against Liu Xiu. He also said, "my Lord, although the Song family is poor, they are in danger. The Song family will help them if they give up their wealth."

Under the pressure of Liu Xiu, both of them expressed their willingness to support.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "how can you collude with Cao Cao because you are so supportive and noble? This kind of thing, absolutely does not exist. This matter will be thoroughly investigated by our official, and we will do justice to both of you. Sit down, ladies and gentlemen

What I said is very impressive.

After hearing this, everyone was even more afraid of Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu is cheeky, flexible and cunning. He is not only cruel to himself but also to the enemy.

In their hearts, they all wanted not to provoke Liu Xiu.

Once Liu Xiu is provoked, the consequences will be even worse.

As soon as Liu Xiu's big sleeve brushed, he asked Huang Hu to step down. Then he said with a smile, "let's get down to business. Now let's discuss the issue of food and money. I hope you can help me."
