However, the attack on Liu Ruohuan this time has caused a lot of controversy around the city.

The city guards have added many checkpoints outside Jinling, and even half of the merchants and passers-by who have traveled to Jinling in recent days have been reduced.

"By the way, my parents and sister, why didn't the dragon see their heads and tails? I haven't seen them in the past two days since I returned home."

Liu Ruohuan wasn't really concerned about these relatives, because he didn't feel like he had a real contact with him in life, and he just felt a little puzzled.

In my memory, I was close to my parents and sisters. Now that something happened, there was only one housekeeper who came to visit me. It was really unreasonable and a bit heartbreaking.

"It's not the wife and the master, something happened outside in recent days..."

When Jiangying said this, she seemed to think of something, but her voice stopped abruptly and she kept silent.

Liu Ruohuan noticed that her expression was wrong and asked a few questions.

Who would have expected that Jiangying looked even more panicked.

"What happened? My parents and sister haven't even shown their faces these two days. If they disappear, I'll sue the government office to find someone."

Seeing that Jiangying could not resist him, she had to reveal a shocking news.

"Young master, don't worry, I'll just say that." Jiangying bit her lip, and then made up her mind to say: "The Ministry of Revenue lost the silver for disaster relief a few days ago. The court is now pursuing the Ministry of Revenue accountability. Her wife is the chief clerk and has been arrested in the prison of the Ministry of Justice..."

"The master has searched all the powerful people in Jinling City and the officials of Yingtian Prefecture in the past two days, but no one is willing to help."

Jiangying hesitated for a moment and continued, "It's been said outside that the Liu family is about to collapse. I'm wondering if I should arrange for the young master to go back to his hometown in Suzhou to avoid the limelight first."

After hearing this, Liu Ruohuan was shocked. He didn't expect that when he returned to his hometown, something big happened to his home.

As the saying goes, there is no end to the egg when the nest is destroyed. For a moment, he became anxious and wanted to inquire about the details.

"How did you lose those silver?"

"The specific details are not clear. The housekeeper should know the details. I only heard that it was done by some refugees who mingled into the city."

Hearing this answer, Liu Ruohuan sighed in her heart that the refugee is another refugee!

I just came here and I had an indissoluble bond with the refugees.

Then Jiangying hurriedly found an excuse to take back, which made his worry even more.

The footsteps outside the door were gone for a while, and there was another banging sound of knocking on the door. The sound was small but particularly rapid.

Before Liu Ruohuan's butt was hot, she returned to the door, opened the door and said, "Jiangying, what's wrong..."

He stopped halfway through this. It was not Jiangying standing outside the door, but another girl of his age.

The girl was wearing a green smoky shirt, with a pleated skirt like a daffodil pattern, and a round oval face, with black eyes.

After seeing Liu Ruohuan open the door, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly and urged, "I'm stupid, I'm just making a fool of myself, let me in."

~

Liu Ruohuan let her into the room with a confused look on her face, and then she remembered who this girl was.

Her name is Xia Zhishan, and she is the second daughter of Xia Ruohai, a wealthy businessman in Suzhou. Her family mainly sells dyed cloth and is also an important member of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The Liuxia and the two families have always had the traditions of Qin and Jin, so before they were born, they had a verbal engagement.

Liu Ruohuan was raised in Wuxian since she was a child and was raised by her grandmother, so the two of them met frequently when they were young.

However, as Liu Lanmeng, the head of the Liu family, went out of Suzhou year by year, he felt a little disgusted with the identity of the Xia family businessman and was not worthy of his reputation as a gentry. In addition, he stopped talking about this matter without establishing a document.

The relationship between the two families was a bit stiff, but in private, the personal relationship between the children was not affected.

Xia Zhishan was not only concerned about his affairs, but when she heard about his attack, she hurriedly rushed over from the cloth shop around Jinling.

Liu Ruohuan noticed that her green embroidered shoes were also stained with a lot of soil. She thought she did not walk through the main entrance, but came in from the back door path.

Xia Zhishan came in to check the window paper of the door and house, then inserted the latch again, and then sat down face to face with Liu Ruohuan.

Liu Ruohuan glanced secretly for a few seconds, and her heart was like a deer bumping into her.

Just now, I didn't see it so clearly when I was dark. Now, taking advantage of the bright light of the candle, I found that her skin was brighter than snow, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she was a very beautiful beauty.

In his previous life, he had never dealt with such a beautiful beauty, and he felt even more relieved. He felt like he was sitting on the bed.

Xia Zhishan laughed at his restless look. After laughing, she was slightly stunned. She remembered the serious business of her trip and said with concern.

"Liu Lang... There was a big incident at your family. I heard that the Ministry of Revenue's treasury lost 800,000 taels overnight. These were all disaster relief funds to be transported to the capital. If the superiors held the responsibility, Aunt Liu could not escape."

"Eighty-hundred... Ten Thousand Taxes?"

Liu Ruohuan is stunned.

You should know that in ordinary families, ten taels of silver are the monthly expenses of a family of three. If you convert it into modern times, you will have to have at least five or six thousand red bills.

Although he did not make detailed calculations, he probably had a capital scale of over 100 million in his previous life, not to mention the backward economy and low production capacity in his ancient times.

Now it happened that refugees were causing trouble and surrounded two cities in Jinling and Luoyang. At this critical moment, they lost the disaster relief funds. Didn’t they force those refugees to rebel?

"Yes, this matter spread the next day. Aunt Liu was locked up to calm the public's anger. However, the loss of silver cannot be retrieved. Aunt Liu will be responsible... Not only will the Liu family be confiscated, but the women in the family will be exiled, and the male family will be sent to Jiaofang Si Chong Gong, and they will be sold on the Qinhuai River."

When Xia Zhishan talked about this, she felt a little embarrassed when she mentioned the kind of fireworks and willow alley.

She looked at Liu Ruohuan with a strange look, and stomped her feet in anger, and defended her anxiously: "It was my sister who told me! I have never been to that kind of place."

Liu Ruohuan nodded quickly and signaled that she knew.

"I have thought of a way to buy a slave from outside and pretend to be you. You hid in a carriage and went to Wuxi with me. You stayed in Suzhou when you were young, and when you grew up, you went back to Jinling. No one in Wuxi City will know you. When the time is right, I will marry you home and change your surname to Xia..."

After saying this in one breath, Xia Zhishan looked at Liu Ruohuan with anticipation, "What do you think?"

Liu Ruohuan was stupid. You are not a way to escape. It is clearly just a beautiful woman in the golden house!

I just didn't expect that I would be hidden one day.

Although she is not old, Xia Zhishan is a rare talent compared to most of her peers in her previous life.

No wonder I heard rumors occasionally when I returned to Wuxian, Suzhou before.

It is said that the eldest daughter of the Xia family is a playboy, and she doesn't care about family affairs every day and night. Xia Zhishan, two years younger than her, showed her business talent and was very favored.

When the head of the Xia family talks about business, he often brings Xia Zhishan to the public. It is said that he wants to pass on his family.

"summer……"

Liu Ruohuan just called out a surname, but she immediately changed her statement when she was glaring at her.
