Chapter 296 Liu Yunzhou's Suspicion
Liu Erhu laughed heartily, patted Zhufu's shoulder and said, "Master Zhu, don't worry. This is just a piece of cake for me. Second Master is fair and kind, he won't make things difficult for me."
I was grateful for the blessing and nodded in agreement.
After a while, when everyone had dispersed, Liu Erhu walked towards Liu Yunzhou alone, and then he whispered about Zhufu and others.
Liu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhufu and the others standing uncomfortably nearby. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Since you've decided to settle in Luoya Village, you're considered a resident of this village and deserve compensation."
Upon hearing this, Zhufu hurried forward to express his gratitude. Liu Yunzhou waved his hand, "It's just that this settlement matter needs to be handled as soon as possible. Don't delay any further."
Zhufu said yes and said they could do it now.
Seeing this, Liu Yunzhou did not delay any longer and waved his hand to let them leave.
Liu Erhu, who was about to leave with them, was suddenly stopped. "Erhu, wait a minute. I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, Liu Erhu had no choice but to say to Zhufu, "If Master Zhu has completed the household registration, could you please wait for me at the yamen gate? I'll come find you after I finish talking to the adults."
Although Zhufu didn't know why he still wanted to see her, she didn't refuse.
Afterwards, Liu Yingcai, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, took the opportunity to take Liu Xiaoxiao on a shopping spree.
Of course, the most popular items bought here are the bricks and tiles mentioned by Zhufu, which are closely related to the subsequent construction of houses.
After all, he had already chosen to settle here, so building a house was a must. However, since he was used to living in a brick house, he didn't want to treat himself badly. So he arranged for Liu Yingcai, Liu Xiaoxiao, and Wang Feng to help him with the shopping, while he continued to wait at the government gate.
Fortunately, Liu Erhu didn't make him wait too long before coming out. But what Zhufu didn't expect was that the prefect also came out with him.
Looking at the prefect who showed him a kind face, Zhufu was confused for a moment.
After that, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I greet the prefect."
Liu Yunzhou smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite. Then he said, "You must be the Master Zhu that Chen'er mentioned! I am his second uncle, Liu Yunzhou."
Zhufu understood that he had something private to tell him, so he took the initiative to say, "Hello, Uncle. I wonder if you came out to see me this time..."
Liu Yunzhou didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "It's like this, didn't I just ask the guards at home to go over and ask about the recent situation of my family?
As a result, this conversation turned to your family's actions in this incident. Now, while I admire your actions, I also want to ask, was the crossbow that your village gave me last time also designed by your granddaughter?
Zhufu didn't expect that Xiaoxiao's casual words of advice that afternoon would actually be remembered by Liu Erhu, and he even told the prefect about it.
How can he answer this question?
Liu Yunzhou has been an official for so many years, there is nothing he doesn't understand about his expression!
So he said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm not asking you to take any responsibility, so you can talk to me without worry."
Seeing this, Zhufu thought to himself that if he kept silent today, he would be in trouble. So he said half-truthfully, "Actually, my granddaughter is not as powerful as you say, nor does she deserve the reputation of the inventor of the crossbow. In my opinion, she only gave Carpenter Liu a few words of advice.
Just like this time, she thought that having two quivers might improve the hit rate better than just one, so she casually mentioned it to Carpenter Liu. In fact, it was Carpenter Liu who was actually responsible for making it.
