Liu Bei was not in Chengdu, because Xu Shu had the greatest official position and had the power of life and death.

It was Xu Zhang, a capable subordinate, and Fei Shi, who went to convey Xu Shu's orders together.

When Fei Shi went to convey the order, his face was dark. He was ordered to buy food. It was good, but it was disturbed by these aristocratic families and grain merchants. How could his face be seen?

Xu Zhang was a little better, with a smile on his face, but more of a bitter smile.

Both of them brought a very bad speculation to the heads of the aristocratic families and grain merchants.

This time, there is absolutely nothing good to be called by Xu Shu. One bad thing is that the heads fell to the ground.

Of course, Cao Bi is also in the scope of the convening. Cao Bi not only does business with flesh and blood, but also controls a large-scale grain shop. Among the people of Yizhou, Cao Bi works in all kinds of money-making businesses. It is considered a group with many industries.

However, unlike other people's worries, Cao Bi came to participate with a happy look. He was just watching the show, and he took advantage of the troubled waters, secretly giving Xu Shu a ruthless move.

Some people also think that no matter how cruel Xu Shu is, they can only be helpless. At such a critical moment, does Xu Shu not want Chengdu to be stable?

With different moods and plans, the people who were summoned by Xu Shu all went to the provincial governor's office in Chengdu. Xu Shu's office was transferred to the provincial governor's office when Liu Bei was not here. This was specially approved by Liu Bei, representing Liu Bei's recognition and trust in Xu Shu. Xu Shu did not abuse Liu Bei's trust. His office space was always in the side hall of the conference hall, and the main seat was kept for Liu Bei, symbolizing that even if Liu Bei was not in Chengdu, Xu Shu had left Liu Bei's position.

Judging from this detail, Xu Shu did a good job and did not lose talk at all. It was very difficult to seize Xu Shu's handle.

Xu Shu sat in the first position in the main seat in the side hall early, waiting. The heads of the aristocratic families and grain merchant shopkeepers who came one after another salute to Xu Shu. No one wanted to be disrespectful to Xu Shu at this critical moment, so as not to have any accidents.

Of course, Cao Bi is the exception.

Xu Shu silently counted the number of people in his heart. No one of the people he called did not come.

After the crowd was all together, Xu Shu looked at them silently without saying a word. This made the atmosphere very depressing.

Cao Bi sneered in his heart. Xu Shu wanted to take the initiative and take the initiative. He would not let Xu Shu do what he wanted.

"Haha, Xu Junshi is busy with official duties, so he summoned us to come, but if there is any important task to send us? As long as we can do it, the Military Advisor can speak out!" Cao Bi took the lead.

Everyone who was summoned was worried about whether anyone would speak to break the deadlock, but Cao Bi took the initiative to stand up. This was a great good person.

At the same time, they also believed that Cao Bi was the most suitable one. Everyone knew that Cao Bi had completely defected to Liu Bei. There was a very inconspicuous place outside the city, where there was a workshop. After inquiring about the careful family owners and grain merchants, they already knew that this was Cao Bi's property. The guards were surrounded by Liu Bei's soldiers holding sharp blades. What was going on? Most people could see clearly what this was.

When Cao Bi spoke, their pressure was much less.

Xu Shu looked at Cao Bi carefully. He had thought that someone could not help but jump out. It might be Wu Lan of the Wu family and Gan Mao of the Gan family. These are all families that Liu Bei had expressed allegiance. He never thought it was Cao Bi.

"There is no dispatch. I just heard some rumors today, so I summoned you to discuss something. I would like to forgive you if you are presumptuous." Xu Shu bowed coldly.

"I dare not!" Everyone quickly returned the gift to Xu Shu.

"The villain is very capable, and except for some life, there is nothing to help the military advisor. The military advisor asked the villain to come for discussion, which really made me embarrassed." Cao Bi said in a pretense of distress.

Well, Cao Bi's words angered Xu Shu. What does it mean to make things difficult for you guys? Is this military advisor? Is it still a living? Which of you guys is not eating delicacies, wearing silk, satin, and the cost of a meal can be as much as a month's food for a commoner.

The rest of the people dared not speak. They could hear Cao Bi's words against Xu Shu. They were worried that Xu Shu would get angry and then cause trouble. At the same time, they expressed their admiration for Cao Bi's boldness and said what they dared not say.

Xu Shu suppressed his anger, and this time he looked at Cao Bi carefully. In the past, Cao Bi was very well-behaved in front of Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that his eloquence would be so good that he easily angered Xu Shu. Xu Shu thought to himself that Cao Bi was a little abnormal.

No matter what Cao Bi said, it was not the person Xu Shu focused on this time. He could not affect today's important matters because of Cao Bi's attitude.

"I'm summoning you to come today, mainly because officials came to report. You are all purchasing grain, and the price is higher than that of the government. I wonder if this is the case?" Xu Shu said it.

Everyone felt nervous. If they didn't answer this important matter well, they might be troublesome. They all looked at Cao Bi, hoping that Cao Bi could take it.

Is Cao Bi that stupid? Of course not. He looked up at the ceiling, as if there were peerless beautys on it.

Everyone secretly scolded Cao Bi for being dishonest. He had said so much just now. At the critical moment, he actually became a turtle with his head, making the situation so serious and then retreated, making others wonder how to reply.

Xu Shu now knows Cao Bi's character. He is a clever person who should say what he should say and what he should not say.

Moreover, Cao Bi's attitude directly helped him.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I don’t know how to talk about it.

It was Wu Lan from the Wu family who took advantage of her family's relationship with Liu Bei, and the other heads of the family gave him hopeful eyes and bit the bullet.

"The military advisor misunderstood. I was waiting for the price to be raised. I just felt that there was insufficient food at home, so I bought it. The military advisor also knew that some time ago, I donated a lot of food from my lord. The family had a large population, so I consumed a lot. It was a completely misunderstanding." Wu Lan told the truth about him. He had so many people in the Wu family, and he helped Liu Bei the biggest last time, and the food was indeed much less.

But it is definitely not as he said that there is no food at home.

Xu Shu would not believe that Liu Bei was monitored by the great families, big families and wealthy businessmen, and he had a clear understanding of these people. If there was not much food in their family, the people of Yizhou would starve to death.

Xu Shu smiled, squinted his eyes and looked at the others, and said, "Are you the same? They are all short of food at home?"

"Yes! Yes! The military advisor is wise!" The heads of the aristocratic family responded quickly.

The grain traders were embarrassed. They all made a living by selling food, and lack of food was not a good excuse for them.

Xu Shu looked at several large-scale grain merchants in Yizhou and said with a bad expression: "Are you short of food too?"

The grain merchants dared not talk to each other.

"It seems that you are the culprits! Come on! These hoarders, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people are being cut off!" Xu Shu turned his back and refused to admit his feelings and convicted these people of death in an instant.

A bunch of soldiers rushed in and captured several grain merchants present.

"Ah! It's unfair!"

"Give me your life!"

The grain merchants were so scared that they almost wet their pants. They killed people with disagreement. This is too terrifying. Didn’t they just raise the price of purchasing grain a little? Why did it become a hoarding thing?

"Dear sirs, help me!" The grain merchants handed over the hope of survival to the heads of the family present.

There are one or two grain merchants who are backers who are these heads of family. I hope that the heads of family can save their lives because they were still filial to the past.

Many heads of the family dare not speak, and even the backers of the grain merchants chose to remain silent. At the critical moment, they could only sacrifice their little ones to complete the big ones. They could not find the hard-working dogs.

The heads of the family who are backers of the grain merchants only feel sorry for the food and grass. The silence of the heads of the family made the grain merchants feel as if they were dead.

In this era, merchants are just inferior people. As the heads of literati and officials, how could they speak up to rescue these little people? They were eager to separate themselves from each other.

"Let's wait!" Cao Bi shouted loudly.

When the grain merchants saw Cao Bi speak out, they felt moved leisurely. At the critical moment, it was the reliability of the shopkeeper Cao.

The soldiers all looked at Xu Shu, and they were now obeying Xu Shu's orders.

Xu Shu didn't understand the sensuality. He was just going to kill someone and establish his authority! He would not stop his intentions because of Cao Bi's loud shout.

When the soldiers saw that Xu Shu had not spoken, they dragged the grain merchants out directly.

Seeing that these grain merchants were about to finish their game, Cao Bi rushed directly to the soldiers and grabbed the grain merchants, pushed one of the soldiers away, and rescued one of them.

"Help, Shopkeeper Cao!" The rescued grain merchant was extremely grateful.

The soldier who was pushed away was furious and pulled out the knife at his waist and instantly crossed the knife to Cao Bi's neck. At the same time, several soldiers came over instantly and pressed Cao Bi tightly.

"Bastard! Cao Haose, you are actually bold and reckless!" Xu Shu was furious.

Many heads of the family looked at the current scene with trembling slightly, which was really shocking. They didn't expect Cao Bi to take action so resolutely. Isn't this making Xu Shu unable to get out of the Taiwan Strait?

Cao Bi just made Xu Shu unable to get out of the stage and shouted: "Xu Yuanzhi, it's you who boldly acted! Your lord gave you Chengdu! You are incompetent, because you will kill innocent people indiscriminately because of a small matter! If you succeed, Chengdu will inevitably be panic! Your lord's great cause is unstable! Who gave you the courage!"

Shocked, shocked. Everyone present grew up! Even the caught grain merchant forgot his situation and looked at Cao Bi with a blank look on his face.

Let’s not talk about who gave Xu Shu the courage, where did you get the courage?

Cao Biyi shouted righteously: "Xu Yuanzhi, do you want to rebel?!"

Yes! Many heads of the family realized in an instant. If Xu Shu wanted to rebel against Liu Bei, he would definitely not be able to live a good life. Compared with Liu Bei, Xu Shu seemed to be a qualified governor of Yizhou. He had abilities, reputation, and good looks. He crushed Liu Bei all over his body!

Xu Shu was confused. How did Cao Bi say that he was rebelling? How could Xu Shu rebel?

"Nonsense!" Xu Shu directly scolded Cao Bi. "How could I, Xu Shu, rebel?"

After saying this, Xu Shu regretted it.

Cao Bi seized the opportunity and sneered: "Yes or not! Only you know! If you were not rebelling, why did you find an excuse to summon all the heads of the family. Several shopkeepers are usually respectful and love Master Zhou Mu very much. You Xu Shu, you, went out to behead them without any discrimination! Although Cao Haose has no talent, he is loyal to the lord! Today we must expose your hypocritical true face!"

Cao Bi's righteous words made him really like Liu Bei's confidant and loyalty. As well as many heads of the family, grain merchants, and soldiers, they all thought Cao Bi had a great conscience.

Xu Shu was confused. Judging from this, Cao Bi was absolutely loyal to Liu Bei. Obviously, his behavior today made Cao Bi misunderstand.

Now if Xu Shu insists on cutting down these grain merchants, it will definitely make everyone suspect that Xu Shu wants to rebel Liu Bei. If he doesn't kill him, Xu Shu will be a little unlucky.

Cao Bi looked at Xu Shu coldly, but was ecstatic inside, and said in his heart: "Xu Yuanzhi! You are still Liu Bei's military advisor, and you can't even see a little trick. You're in vain!"

When the atmosphere was extremely awkward, the old Gan Mao stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Military advisor, for me, today is definitely a misunderstanding. Military advisors are tired for the great cause of the governor of the state! It is really not worthy of us to cause trouble for the military advisors. Several shopkeepers rely on food for their living, and they did stupid things with greed. There are many military advisors, so let them spare their lives."

"Yes!" Many heads of the family began to speak.

With the words of the heads of the family, Xu Shu's face became much better, so he said, "It's not in line with the law!"

Gan Mao is a man who is old and old, so of course he knows what Xu Shu is saying, and continues: "Diet crime can be avoided, but the crime can't be escaped! In my opinion, the military advisor spared the lives of these people and confiscated the illegal gains, so that the people of Yizhou can be given an explanation. In the future, these people can correct their mistakes in the future, and they will definitely benefit the people. It will become a good talk."

After Gan Mao finished speaking, he gave a wink at several grain merchants. He could do so much, it depends on whether these grain merchants understood it.

"We deserve to die for ten thousand times. Please let the military advisor open the Internet!" The grain merchants naturally understood that all illegal gains are nonsense. As long as they can survive, they can collect all their property.

"Please open the military advisor!" the other heads of the family agreed.

After everyone said this, Xu Shu naturally let go and said, "In this way, just follow Mr. Gan's words! You must be content with your own self-righteousness in the future. If you commit another crime, you will be punished together!"

My life was saved, and all the grain merchants said gratefully: "Thank you, the military advisor!"

The problem of the grain merchant has been solved, and now there is only one Cao Bi left.
Chapter completed!
