The Xiao family was originally considered a big golden cave in Liu Xiang's hands, but now being punished by the emperor, Liu Xiang suffered a heavy loss.

"Your loyalty, the truth is clear, how can I blame you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang." The servant of the Ministry of punishment was flattered, and then said with regret: "It's a pity that the minister of the household department is not one of us, otherwise the 1000 million taels can be operated from it."

In the case of the Pingjiang dam, they damaged the important officials in the Ministry of Households, so that it is difficult for the Ministry of Households to intervene now. The emperor knows that Xiao Muheng will be tricked, and the excess money will be filled into the treasury. The sum of money can be easily transferred to Xiang Ye.

Liu Xiang also thought this way in his heart, so he felt unspeakably depressed.

At this time, a servant outside the door reported softly: "Master Xiang, Miss Fifth is back and wants to see Master Xiang."

Liu Xiang frowned slightly when he heard the words.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment immediately got up knowingly: "Mr. Xiang has something to do, so I will leave first."

Liu Xiang thought for a while, and nodded without staying too long.

After the servant of the punishment department left, Liu Xiangcai told his servants: "Please come to the study, Miss Fifth."

"Yes."

Soon, Liu Anyao was wrapped in a cloak and walked into the study in the cold wind.

The bright candlelight reflected the middle-aged man behind the desk, his resolute face was gloomy and fierce.

"My daughter has met her father." Liu Anyao saluted.

Liu Xiang nodded lightly, and looked at Liu Anyao with regular eyes: "Why are you back so late?"

This prostitute was carefully cultivated by him since he was a child, and was his biggest pawn in marriage, but it was a pity that he lost it halfway.

Originally thought that marrying her to Xiao Muheng would give full play to her remaining value, but now it seems that he was deceiving her too much.

Looking at Liu Xiang's calm expression, Liu Anyao couldn't help but tense in her heart, and said with a tense expression: "Did father know about Xianggong being punished by the emperor?"

Liu Xiang nodded: "So?"

"Father, can you think of a way to save him?" Liu Anyao stepped forward and said.

Liu Xiang stared at Liu Anyao with eagle-like eyes, and after a long while, he asked: "How do you think I can save him? He committed a capital crime. If it wasn't for my people to plead for mercy at a critical moment, you might have to hug him in the near future." dead body wept."

Liu Anyao's face turned pale, she bit her lips and said unwillingly: "But the emperor dismissed him as an official, barred him from entering the court for life, and even fined him 1000 million taels of silver. Father, you are the prime minister, an extremely human minister, go and talk to the emperor. I beg you, for your sake, the emperor will definitely forgive my husband."

Since she is married to Xiao Muheng, she will win and lose with him. Even though she is extremely angry at Xiao Muheng's stupidity, if his future is ruined, then she will never be able to turn over in this life.

"Nonsense." Liu Xiang glared at Liu Anyao sullenly: "He burned the Imperial College, and the emperor was furious, how can I plead for mercy? His future is important, so why don't you give up your father's future?" He was afraid that once he pleaded, It happened to give Emperor Cheng De a chance to suppress him.

It's just a son-in-law, it's not worth his risk.

"But..." Liu Anyao wanted to say more anxiously.

Liu Xiang raised his hand angrily and interrupted her: "There is no need to talk about this matter. If Xiao Muheng is capable, he will turn around one day. Since he can't be an official in the court, then he should take good care of the family property."

To Xiao Muheng, he was disappointed.

But thinking of the assets of the Xiao family, Liu Xiang did not give up all at once.

Of course, 1000 million taels will take out the Xiao family's family fortune, but if Xiao Muheng has the ability, it will not be a problem to earn another 1000 million taels.

No one would have trouble with Yin Zi, the Third Prince must have Yin Zi if he wanted to achieve great success.

The emperor cut off his official career, at least in this dynasty, he will not even think about becoming an official, and the only chance is to wait for His Highness the Third Highness to sit in that high position.

If Xiao Muheng is a smart person, he must know that he must do his best to help the Third Highness.

"Go back and tell him to let him recuperate well, make money with peace of mind, and wait for the opportunity." Liu Xiang said.

Liu Anyao didn't know Liu Xiang's plan, she just felt that her father watched her suffer, her eyes were red with anger, and she stomped out.

Liu Xiang looked at his wayward and reckless daughter, his dark eyes shone with coldness.

At the same time, Lu Xiang also heard the news from Lu Chao's mouth, and her eyes widened in shock.

Xiao Muheng's favorite power is gone.

The Xiao family and the Wanguan family have lost their money.

The two he cared about the most in his previous life disappeared due to a fire.

While Lu Xiang was sighing, Chu Jinyan's handsome and charming face could not help appearing in his mind.

I especially remember that on the night of Lu Chaozhu's death, he told her that in the future, if anyone wants to kill someone, you don't have to do it yourself, I will help you.

Power, status and money are things that Xiao Muheng valued more than life, and now they are all gone at once, which is more painful than death.

"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang..." At the end of Lu Chao's speech, seeing Lu Xiang in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her: "Are you listening to me?"

Lu Xiang came back to his senses suddenly, and said, "I heard it."

"Even Liu Xiang can't keep him now." Lu Chao said gloatingly.

"The Xiao family is able to gain a firm foothold in the capital. If they pay out 1000 million taels of silver all of a sudden, it will definitely hurt their vitality. Xiangxiang, can we take advantage of the fire and rob it?" Qiao Jingru rubbed her hands and smiled cunningly. .

Lu Xiang smiled back: "Sister-in-law, let's go together."

Now is a good time to annex the Xiao family's property.

Otherwise, when he regained his composure, it would be another tough nut to crack.

"Hey, I'll go back to Qiao's mansion tomorrow to ask my elder brother for help." Qiao Jingru laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes.

Lu Xiang said: "Okay, the emperor capped the Xiao family to hand over 1000 million taels in three days, they must not be able to pay that much, they will definitely sell part of the shop, find a middleman, don't let Brother Qiao come forward in person, and take part first , too much tolerance to make them vigilant and raise prices."

"Well, I understand, then we'll go back first."

As Qiao Jingru said, she pulled Lu Chao away.
