My Ferocious Tigress Wife-Chapter 916 - -Defend

Chapter 916: Chapter 916-Defend

She didn’t know if Xie Jiu would be happy or if Xie Xian would…How annoying.

After he finished cooking, he even praised, I think it’s good.

Xiao Baoxin was sweating on behalf of Xie Jiu. He had fallen into Xie Xian’s hands.

There was also Chu Yan. Who would have thought that the two of them would play the most perfect cooperation without discussion.

It was fine if she looked at Chu Yan…

He looked like someone who was doing something big.

Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian looked at each other and smiled. The two of them had at least reached a consensus on this point.

Xie Qingze held her anger and ran back to the government office in the middle of the night. She called her subordinates back to count the grain and withdraw the silver from the warehouse. It was only until midnight that the inventory was finally completed.

“Men, go to the Chu residence and find Protector Chu. Tell him that we have gathered all the funds and are waiting for him to count them at the government office.”

The subordinate hesitated.

“This big night’s-”

“The military situation is urgent. If the enemy comes, will you say no? I still have to sleep for a while.”Xie Qing was furious.” You’re being lazy!”

Only then did the subordinate not dare to let out a fart and ran to the Chu family’s house to smash the door.

Xie Qing: ” I didn’t sleep the whole night. I worked with Xie Xian to kill the big one. I’m going to use him as an example. Do you still want to sleep in?” Get up and have fun!

What the hell was he sleeping for?

He had been counting and collecting for most of the night, and he had not slept!

Who knew that Chu Yan did not sleep at all in the manor. He was drinking tea and instructing his wife, the Princess of South County, about the matters of the Chu manor after leaving the capital. Now, the Chu family was under the control of the second branch, Madam Yuan. The eldest branch had just taken off her mourning clothes not long ago, and the eldest wife, Madam Zhou, had died. Chu Dalang had just taken off his mourning clothes and remarried. He married the twelfth wife of Minister Qi’s next-door wife. She had just turned sixteen this year and had an ordinary appearance. However, she had been raised to be very crafty.

He did not dare to make a scene in front of the Princess of South County, but he was also very unyielding.

Chu Yan knew that the Princess of South County was introverted and looked approachable, but she was actually very cold on the inside. If he really angered her, he was afraid that no one would give him any face.

Chu Yan was not worried that the Princess of South County would bully him. He was worried that she would overdefend herself and kill him.

Well, after talking for half a night, it was actually better to not lower yourself to the same level as others. It would not be good if someone died at this juncture.

The Princess of South County looked on coldly. When Chu Yan received the report from Xie Qing, he had already stood up and was about to leave. He had already changed his clothes and could leave after putting on a cloak.

Luckily, Xie Qing didn’t come personally. Otherwise, seeing how confident she was and how she had schemed against him, he would definitely be angered to death.

“Will Xie Pushe and Eldest Lady Xiao also say these things?””Tell her not to be too hard on her. If she gets bullied, will you just tolerate it?” she said calmly.”

Chu Yan put on his cloak and looked back at the Princess of South County.

“Take care.” Then, he left without looking back.

The nanny behind the South County Princess sighed.””Princess shouldn’t have mentioned Xie Pushe.”

The Princess of South County sneered.” I’ve been sitting here listening to him say ‘don’t get angry’ and ‘we’re all family, so don’t hurt each other’ for the whole night. That’s enough!””

“As if I’m domineering.”

“Am I that cruel? He had beaten the Chu family to death? You make me sound like a hag. Has he ever cared about me?”

The Princess of South County stood up and flung her sleeves.” Close the door. Whoever dares to barge in, beat them out.” He didn’t see anyone, whether it was his stepwife or his wife.”

Chu Yan came and left quickly. After counting the grain Xie Qing had collected, including the silver, he happily chatted with Xie Qing until dawn.

Holding the waist token given by the Emperor, he led more than a hundred attendants and a hundred soldiers sent by Danyang Prefecture to escort the grain to the outside of the city to collect the ten thousand elite soldiers allocated by the Emperor and set off to collect the grain.

Chu Yan patted his butt and walked away, but Xie Qing received a verbal commendation from Emperor Yongping.

He did it well and beautifully, setting an example for the officials of Daliang.

I just don’t have money. If I have money, I’ll give you a big reward no matter what!

Emperor Yongping said in his heart.

As expected of someone from the Xie family. She cooperated perfectly with Xie Aiqing and showed off to everyone in the world. She talked about Xie Qing’s performance and told everyone who saw her.

He was just short of an official decree for all the officials in the world to see.

Xie Qing was not happy to be praised. It was not his intention to take the credit. He was schemed against. After being praised, he felt a little depressed, but he couldn’t explain to others that he had also been tricked. He also had to endure some words that said he was cheating others. As a result, he rarely went out to feast recently.

This loss was really quite difficult to swallow.

Back home, thanks to the thoughtfulness of Wang Shier’s mother, the small kitchen made all kinds of light food. After the meal, they even served tea made from honeysuckles.

He finally experienced her gentleness.

Xie Qing gently held her hand.

“Sister-in-law said that you and First Uncle have been quite angry recently. It’s good to eat more light food to relieve your anger.”

Xie Qing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It was difficult to swallow or swallow. He didn’t feel any warmth or sarcasm at all.

“.. It’s a little bad, but it’s a bad idea.”Wang Shierniang smiled and filled his cup again.

“Drink more.”

Previously, General Yang had been gathering rations and transporting them nearby. Most of them were concentrated in the north, while the south was only worried that the generals would go over to supervise the transportation. Most of them were perfunctory. This time, Chu Yan went south. He set off from Jiankang City and went south to the various prefectures to collect money. If there was no grain, he would collect silver.

Of course, it caused quite a stir in various places.

However, because Xie Qing was the witness, the news quickly spread to the various provinces under Chu Yan’s instigation. Those who had a slightly milder attitude more or less paid some grain and silver. Those who were stubborn were only suppressed after Chu Yan beheaded them a few times.

Of course, there was an effect. The good and bad were half and half.

There were also those who directly went against the emperor’s orders and refused to hand over their rations.

In less than three days, the imperial court’s decree to dismiss Chu Yan was issued, and some were even escorted into the capital to support Chu Yan.

In just two months, the amount of grain and fodder they had collected far exceeded the amount of the imperial treasury when Sikong Xiao went to Xuzhou. There was even a surplus of more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Escorting the provisions became a problem again. Xie Xian immediately dispatched General Yang’s army to receive them and ordered the various prefectures to send five hundred to one thousand escorts to escort them to Xuzhou with Chu Yan or General Yang.

They had no choice but to escort them strictly. The North Wu army rampaged around, just in case they were intercepted.

Wang Zulong was indeed brave. He chased after the North Wu army that had gone deep into the south and beat them up. The North Wu army had already shown signs of retreating to the north.

Food and fodder were constantly being transported to Xu Prefecture. Xie Xian also sent people to privately inform Sikong Xiao that they must defeat the North Wu Army within a month and a half.
