Little Peasant Wife - Chapter 486

“Well, I’m worried about my mother. I’m also worried about you. In case the prime minister attacks you, I…”

Liu Jin felt a little afraid when she thought of Luo’s death in front of her. Although she can do business and earn money, she is always just a woman.

“Qi Shenghua once sent killers to hunt me down. Maybe they will come later. I’ve prepared some backup hands these two days. I hope their Qi family had better not provoke us.”

Mu Yu’s eyes revealed a trace of determination.

Liu Jin looked at it, nodded and agreed with Mu Yu.

Seeing Liu Jin’s worried look, Mu Yu said, “don’t worry. I think it’s strange. The prime minister is in the capital and thousands of miles away from here. How can he want to take away your kindness? I think it’s mostly the temporary intention of Lord Wang or Lord Li in Lingyang County.”

After hearing this, Liu Jin thought it was true.

The prime minister’s power is huge, and I don’t know how many industries he has. He wanted to collect Shili incense. It was not that Shili incense could make money, but to gain some fame.

For him, this reputation is just icing on the cake.

However, as a dog slave, what he likes to do most is this. It seems that he can please the master very much and always likes this rather than that.

“What can you do to deal with Lord Wang? This man looks very annoying. He didn’t look at me very much when he came to see me the first day.”

Liu Jin tooted her mouth. It seemed that she was wronged and asked Mu Yu for help.

“Well, let me see. I need some time.”

He just got back here today. Liu Jin gave him such a message. He really needs time to digest and think about how to deal with it.

Liu Jin nodded and said, “now the grain price in Meiyuan county has risen to 18 Wen a kilogram, ten Wen more than usual.”

“So expensive? Do those rice merchants want to fight the government?”

Mu Yu wondered that at this time, the imperial court sent officials down, and the rice merchants in Meiyuan county still didn’t cut prices, as if they were deliberately going against these officials.

Liu Jin felt a little strange. Although it is a common business behavior for businessmen to raise prices, it is not generally courageous to raise prices with the imperial court.

A small Meiyuan County, where is the courage?

When I thought about it, I felt that the rice merchants in Meiyuan County seemed to be secretly guided and supported by a force before they dared to confront the officials of the imperial court so blatantly.

If it is a big merchant alliance, there are still some who resist the unreasonable expropriation of the imperial court. But Meiyuan county is just an ordinary small city. It is not a rich merchant, nor is it a response to the excessive collection of money by the imperial court.

“When you say this, do you suspect that the Qin family supports these rice merchants behind their back against the officials of the imperial court?”

Mu Yu picked up his pen on his desk, dipped it in some ink, and then wrote a word on a piece of paper.

“Qi?”

Seeing this word, Liu Jin subconsciously shouted out, and then realized that Mu Yu suspected not the Qin family, but the Qi family.

“Although the Qin family is very big, it is only in Lingyang county. If you dare to oppose the imperial court, magistrate Hu can control him. And magistrate Hu’s sister is the little lady of the prime minister.”

Mu Yu seemed to know something about these things. When he spoke to Liu Jin, he also looked serious.

Liu Jin had known these relationships since her last life.

“If the prime minister instructs the magistrate Hu to collude with the Qin family to make wind and rain in Lingyang County, it will be easy. Even if someone sues, the prime minister can suppress it in one fell swoop. The reason why Lord Huang has an accident is also related to the prime minister.”

Mu Yu said this and looked at Liu Jin.

Not long ago, they also said about Qi Shenghua. They wanted to avoid it. Unexpectedly, now the prime minister also extended his hand.

In this way, they have no way to hide.

“I……” Mu Fu suddenly looked at Liu Jin with a dignified look, as if he wanted to say it but didn’t dare to say it.

“What’s the matter?” Liu Jin looked at him and didn’t know what he thought of.

“Is there any way? Let me make it clear first. I’m not going to collude with the people in the prime minister’s house.”

Liu Jin quickly stated her position that she could not settle accounts with the people in the prime minister’s house in her life, but she would never stand in the same camp with them.

Mu Yu shook his head quickly. “No, I mean, I’m hungry. Look, can you get me something to eat?”

Liu Jin paused for a moment. She didn’t know what Mu Yu wanted to say. It turned out to be this. Liu Jin nodded at the thought that he must have missed a good meal all the way.

“You said so. I thought you thought of something!”

Liu Jin rolled her eyes and thought this guy had thought of something!

“Wait.” Liu Jin turned and left the room to prepare the food.

This time is still some time away from dinner. It’s too early to have dinner. It’s time to have lunch.

After thinking about it, Liu Jin made some snacks for mu Yu.

This can fill your stomach without having to eat dinner.

Liu Jin finished it quickly and brought it to Mu Yu’s house for mu Yu to taste.

Just at this time, Lin Xiaohua also came. After taking a look, she quickly flashed aside.

After Luo Shi saw it, he looked back at Liu Jin and Mu Yu, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

While tasting several fried dumplings made by Liu Jin, Mu Yu watched and talked with Liu Jin about the Lord Wang.

In the evening, Liu Jin asked he Sanniang to prepare some fresh ingredients and planned to make a delicious meal for mu Yu.

As a result, an invitation letter was handed over to Liu Jin.

“Lord Wang told me that I must give it to Miss Liu in person.” The man said with a smile. He Sanniang on one side wanted to take it on his behalf. He didn’t want him to disturb Liu Jin and Mu Yu’s.

Liu Jin looked at it and said to Mu Yu on one side, “Lord Wang wants to invite us to Zuixian building for a chat.”

Mu Yu heard the speech and nodded his head, indicating that he agreed.

Lord Wang will certainly not give up. If he doesn’t deal with it head-on, I don’t know what means he will use.

“It seems that I can’t eat the food you cooked yourself tonight.”

Mu Yu smiled and looked at Liu Jin with a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

“Have you forgotten? Zuixian restaurant is also my restaurant. I can cook some food for you when I go there.”

Mu Yu nodded immediately, “that’s good. Let’s go quickly.”

He is anxious to go to Zuixian building and wait for Liu Jin to cook for him, but he is not anxious to see Lord Wang.

Liu Jin couldn’t help laughing at his anxious appearance.

Two people went out of the door and went to Zuixian building with a small nail.

Zuixian building is not far away. It will arrive soon.

To their surprise, the magistrate was waiting for Liu Jin and Mu Yu in person at the door of the restaurant.
