The reason why Liu Cang can serve as a treasurer in the government treasury and is considered domineering in the entire government office is mainly because Liu Cang's status in the Liu family is also considered extraordinary.
The current head of the Liu family is named Liu Er, who is Liu Cang's second uncle. Originally, Liu Cang and his father were the eldest sons of the Liu family. According to the Liu family's tradition, the eldest son inherits the Liu family.
It's just that Liu Cang's father contracted a serious illness when Liu Cang was very young and died soon after.
Liu Cang was still young at that time, so the ancestors of the Liu family discussed it and simply made Liu Er the patriarch of the Liu family.
It's just that although Liu Er became the patriarch of the Liu family, both the clan elders and Liu Er and others believed that they owed Liu Cang, so they bought Liu Cang the position of official and let Liu Cang He can control the wind and rain in the entire Liu family.
At this time, Liu Cang returned to Liu's house very angry.
Liu Er asked in surprise when he saw Liu Cang coming back.
"Nephew, why are you back? Why aren't you staying in the treasury?"
Liu Cang walked in very angry and said to Liu Er.
"Isn't he the new master in the government office? I don't know where Yu Ruhai found this person from."
"I took the account book over, and he calculated all the accounts for the first half of the year in that account book in just a cup of tea!"
"Not only did they know how much money I had stolen, but they even withheld the account books. It seems that it is very easy to calculate the losses in previous years!"
Liu Cang said this angrily, then sighed and said to Liu Er.
"Second uncle, you have to help me this time. He is only tracing the silver from the first half of the year. The total is 370 taels."
"I can't come up with such a large sum of money now!"
Hearing this, Liu Dun was a little shocked, and then said in great surprise.
"Is this Master Zhao you are talking about?"
Liu Cang nodded angrily.
Liu Er frowned slightly. As the patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Er looked gentle and elegant, but in fact he was a very dignified person.
"It seems that Yu Ruhai asked Zhao Feng to come over and deal with our Liu family."
"Now the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court will arrive soon. It is said that this amount of money is worth hundreds of thousands taels."
"Even if we don't move the money, we must not let them use this matter to suppress our Liu family!"
Liu Cang nodded quickly. Over the years, he had already regarded Liu Er as his supporter.
Liu Er has always been very doting on Liu Cang. No matter what Liu Cang wants, he will give it to Liu Cang, and he even treats Liu Cang better than his own son.
"Second uncle, what should we do now?"
Liu Er smiled slightly and said directly to Liu Cang.
"It doesn't matter. I'll make up for the money I owe you in the warehouse first. Don't touch the money for now. Even if you do, you have to make false accounts."
"In a few days, when you invite Zhao Feng out, tell him that I want to treat him to dinner. I want to test out Zhao Feng's tone and see what his talents are."
"If possible, we can win Zhao Feng over to our side. The big deal is to give him more money!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Cang suddenly asked Liu Er with some confusion.
"Second uncle, are you kidding? He is already going to deal with our Liu family, why do you still want to show your kindness to him? Are you thinking of giving him money to win him over?"
Liu Cang didn't understand. According to this situation, shouldn't the Liu family directly launch crazy revenge on Zhao Feng and Zhao Feng's family, so that Zhao Feng would not dare to continue to fight against them?
Liu Er smiled slightly and said to Liu Cang.
"As long as we can give this Zhao Feng some benefits, if he doesn't help our Liu family, we can directly use this matter as a reason to blackmail him, so that he will not dare to go against the Liu family again."
"It would be great if he helps the Liu family. Judging from the talents this person has shown so far, he might also be a great help to the Liu family!"
Only then did Liu Cang understand. He couldn't help but smile, nodded and said.
"I knew my second uncle would definitely have a way!"
Liu Er smiled and nodded, then gave Liu Cang some money and asked him to make up for the shortfall in the warehouse.
Liu Cang took the money and left directly. The Liu family returned to the warehouse. After Liu Cang left, Liu Er's originally kind face couldn't help but become serious.
I saw a young man about the same size as Liu Cang walking out from behind and saluting Liu Er very respectfully.
"Father."
Liu Er nodded coldly and said to the young man.
"You should have heard clearly the conversation between me and your brother just now, right?"
"Tell me, why do you do this as a father?"
The young man nodded and said very respectfully.
"Father did this for two reasons."
"The first thing is to show goodwill to Zhao Feng and see how the relationship between Zhao Feng and the prefect Yu Ruhai is. If it can be a help to our Liu family, it can help our Liu family to overthrow this prefect as soon as possible."
"When the time comes, no matter whether Zhao Feng agrees to our Liu family's overtures, it will leave an indelible rift between Zhao Feng and the prefect Yu Ruhai."
There was a hint of appreciation in Liu Er's eyes, but he still nodded very coldly and continued to ask.
"Any more?"
The young man smiled slightly and continued.
"And the second point is very simple, that is to leave a handle for Zhao Feng!"
"We show weakness to the enemy and make Zhao Feng think that Liu Jia may be afraid of this matter, so that he will be complacent."
"At that time, we can also set up a trap to let Zhao Feng receive the money from our Liu family. This will be considered as holding Zhao Feng's hand. At that time, we can also directly kill Zhao Feng in one fell swoop!"
After the young man said this, Liu Er nodded with great satisfaction. The serious expression on his face slowly faded, and he patted the young man on the shoulder and said.
"Liu Qi, you are my only son. The reason why I discipline you so severely is so that you can one day inherit the entire Liu family!"
"You must not learn from Liu Cang, he is already useless!"
Liu Qi nodded very respectfully, bowed his hands to Liu Er and said.
"If father has nothing else to do, then I will handle some of the Liu family's accounts first."
Liu Er waved his hand with great satisfaction. Looking at Liu Qi's leaving figure, Liu Er felt more and more satisfied.
Here Liu Cang took the 370 taels of silver that Liu Jia gave him, directly made up for the shortfall in the warehouse, and also led some people to tidy up the warehouse.
