Chapter 171 The Decree
As soon as Xiao Ningxue's words came out, Xiao Wenzhao became excited.

This girl is not very old and her ideas are not small, but everything that comes out of her mouth must be credible.

"Xue girl, tell me quickly!"

Wu Chongwen also shook Xiao Ningxue's little hand, signaling her to speak out her thoughts.

"Changning City is so big, it's impossible for Yu Chixiu's family to dominate, right?" Xiao Ningxue blinked her long eyelashes like butterflies, and raised her eyes to look at Wu Chongwen.

"Of course." Wu Chongwen couldn't help pinching her pink cheeks, and said slowly, "Weichi in the south and Huyan in the north, these two great families are evenly divided and have been secretly competing."

Wu Chongwen claimed to be a businessman who often came to the Western Regions, so he didn't have to worry about Xiao Ningxue's doubts when he said this.Xiao Ningxue did not have any doubts. After listening, she smiled pretty and narrowed her almond eyes.

"That being so, it's much easier to do.'

"Uncle, tonight, as the sheriff of Su'an County, you are hosting a banquet for the great families of Changning City."

Before he finished speaking, the villagers from Qiganling came after him, Xiao Ningxue stopped in time.

After all, the matter is of great importance. Once it gets out, the plan will not be implemented. Naturally, it is impossible for Xiao Ningxue to say it in front of outsiders.

Xiao Wenzhao didn't finish listening, feeling like a cat scratching his head, but he was already thinking about how to entertain the aristocratic families in Changning City.

The idea that Xue girl came up with has never failed, he absolutely believes in her!
At noon, a group of people arrived outside the West City Gate.

The villagers of Taohua Village settled down here. As for the issue of food, Wang Yonggui arranged for it.

As for Xiao Shan, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Dong and her two daughters, they all stayed here. It's better not to go to the city, so as not to cause disputes.

Xiao Wenzhao took Xiao Yan, Xiao Han, and more than a dozen yamen servants, including Wu Chongwen and Xiao Ningxue, who was disguised as a man, to the city.

Seeing that they were from the Central Plains, the guard stopped them.

"Who? Going to town for what?"

The guard Zhongyuan who spoke spoke quite neatly, and Xiao Wenzhao showed his appointment documents.

"The Sheriff of Su'an County, Xiao Wenzhao."

It was rare for the guard to recognize Zhongyuan characters. After reading the document, he covered his mouth and smiled, and let them enter the city.

Needless to say the prosperity of the city, the buildings beside the road are brightly colored and painted with strange and gorgeous patterns, just like their clothes, full of exotic style.

Both men, women and children have deep eye sockets and slightly hooked noses. Xiao Ningxue feels that they are similar to modern Xinjiang people.

In the north of the city and the south of the city, there are two buildings built on the hills, with layers of buildings, which are extremely gorgeous and magnificent!
It is enough to overlook the entire Changning City, showing the master's noble identity and status to the extreme.Nan Yuchi and Bei Huyan are really appropriate!
Xiao Wenzhao went to take office with the appointment documents, and the news quickly spread throughout Changning City.

After Yu Chixiu learned about this, he touched the turquoise on his chin and laughed.

"Zhengchou has no way to play, and the county guard is here."

"Do you want his life, or tell him to get out of Changning City obediently?"

"How on earth is it fun to play with him?"

Just smiling, someone outside came in to ask for instructions.

"City Lord, the new Sheriff Master Xiao sent someone to deliver a post, please go to the Sheriff's Mansion to have a banquet tonight."

"Oh? He actually dared to take the initiative to invite me to a banquet? Then quickly accept the post." Yu Chixiu fiddled with the ornaments on his beard, feeling that it was exactly what he wanted.

At this moment, at the county guard's mansion in the east of the city, Catcher Gao is leading Xiao Zhang Xiao Zhao and others to clean the yard.

The courtyard is desolate, and I don't know how long it has been vacant.

In the kitchen, Xiao Wenzhao looked at the big rusty iron pot and worried.

"Girl Xue, with our little food, how can we organize this banquet?"

What he was worried about was that if it was too shabby and the guests walked away, wouldn't the next scene not be able to be performed? This girl's idea is absolutely perfect!
As long as Yu Chixiu and Huyanrui are willing to sit down and eat this meal, they will be able to take out enough grain from their granaries, and as Xue girl said, they will be able to give up their hearts on the ancient Shu Kingdom!
"Don't worry, uncle, just leave it to me."

Xiao Ningxue was full of confidence and pushed Xiao Wenzhao and Wu Chongwen out of the kitchen.The Sheriff's Mansion is a little shabby, but it is spacious after tidying up.

The banquet was placed in the flower hall, with two long tables and a few pots of charcoal fire burning in the middle, which was very warm.

Before the end of the day, everyone arrived. After exchanging pleasantries, the guests sat cross-legged at a table.

The first guest was Xiao Wenzhao, who was dressed in shabby clothes but couldn't hide his elegance. He smiled calmly and drank tea slowly.

Sitting in the top position on the left is Wei Chixiu, the lord of Changning City with a big beard and a wild spear.

Yu Chixiu was also surprised to see that Xiao Wenzhao was the man who pleaded for the people of Dongyang outside Nancheng this morning, but he did not expect that he would be the governor of Su'an County.

Compared with those mediocre officials before, his temperament is much calmer and gentler.

But so what? Just tell him to fuck off without stopping!
And sitting at the head on the right hand side is a man slightly older than Yu Chixiu, similarly, with braided hair hanging down and gorgeous clothes.

He wears gold ornaments on his ears, and a red and emerald on his braided beard, which symbolizes his extraordinary status. He is the head of the Huyan clan, Huyanrui.

The other guests were all dignitaries in the city, all of them were sturdy and savage.

Wu Chongwen and Xiao Yan and Xiao Han sat in the first position, they could be regarded as companions.

Everyone couldn't understand the language, and it was difficult to communicate, so Xiao Wenzhao didn't make a sound.

Of course, no one paid any attention to him, Yu Chixiu and the others spoke foreign languages ​​loudly to each other, laughed wildly, and didn't know what they were talking about.

But if others don't understand, can Wu Chongwen understand?
These people are mocking the new sheriff wantonly, talking about all kinds of ideas and ideas to let him get out of Changning City!
Hu Yanrui also participated in it.

He and Yu Chixiu competed for pastures, for the position of city lord, for cattle, horses and sheep, but the only thing they did not dispute was how to drive away the officials sent by the imperial court to control them, and took pleasure in it.

It was unanimously decided that after the dishes were served later, they would take advantage of the shabby food to get mad, overturn the table and walk away, not giving this shit sheriff any face.
Wu Chongwen pretended not to understand, and drank his tea calmly.

The charcoal fire in the house was burning vigorously, and the clothes and fur on these people's bodies were too warm. After some high-spirited talk, they felt a little dry, and the tea burned their mouths, making them thirsty for a while.

At this time, Xiao Ningxue, Xiao Zhang Xiao Zhao and others came in with the first 'dish'.

To be precise, this is not a dish, but a bowl of fruit lao with smoothie and coconut milk.

Fruits are fresh fruits, pears, apples, grapes. With Bai Shengsheng coconut milk, the fruity and coconut aroma is tangy.

This made those aliens who were sweating all over and had dry mouths widen their eyes, wishing they could pounce on them immediately to eat a few pieces or drink a couple of sips, why would they be willing to lift the table?
"This is the characteristic of our Central Plains, fruit fishing, please use it slowly." Xiao Ningxue said this in a male voice, and retreated.

"Please use it, everyone please use it." Xiao Wenzhao was still anxious just now, worried that he would not be able to keep these guys, but when he saw this plate of fruit, his heart was completely relieved.

Before he finished speaking, Yu Chixiu and the others impatiently picked up the wooden spoon and started eating.

I just feel that the fruit is delicious and the milk is full of fragrance, which quenches my thirst and is sweet and delicious!
After eating a bowl of fruit, the general will relieve the heat from drinking and the body, and feel extremely comfortable, all of them look satisfied!
Even so, it's not easy to flip the table.

You eat other people's things like tigers and wolves, what reason do you have to overturn the table?
Instead, I sat and waited for the next dish with anticipation.

Xiao Wenzhao glanced at them with satisfaction, knowing that they were left behind, he took a sip of tea and spoke slowly. "Everyone, when I came here to take office, I not only brought my appointment documents, but also an imperial decree."

His words were only understood by Yu Chixiu, who had a little knowledge of the Central Plains language, and the others did not understand them at all.

But Yu Chixiu didn't intend to be the interpreter, he didn't care what the decree was, he listened to it first and then said it, good things happened to him, and ugly things just turned the tables, the others didn't understand anyway, and no one robbed him.

Thinking of this, he twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain, and just about to ask what the imperial decree was, Wu Chongwen stood up and translated these words in a very fluent foreign language.

Yu Chixiu: "."

Immediately the alarm bells rang out. If this decree was a good thing, then Hu Yanrui would not have to argue with him? He quickly straightened his back, tensed his nerves and stared at Xiao Wenzhao, waiting for him to continue talking.

"An imperial edict? What imperial edict is it?" Hu Yanrui asked impatiently.

Mr. Xiao just took office, so he couldn't wait to entertain everyone, which must have something to do with this imperial decree.

Look at his smiling face? This decree must be a good thing.

Although I can't guess what a good thing it is, who doesn't want this good thing to happen to me?
Especially their Huyan family, whose financial strength is not inferior to his Yuchi clan, why is his surname Yuchi always the lord of Changning City?
Could it be that the emperor's imperial decree was intended to appoint an official in the local aristocratic family? It seems very likely, if not, why is the decree so cautious?
If this is the case, his Huyan clan is bound to win!
After all, Yu Chixiu, the city lord, was appointed by himself. If he can become an official appointed by the imperial court, it will be justified.

Not to mention Yuchixiu's superiority, at least he's on an equal footing with him, isn't it?
However, the imperial court has never believed in these alien races, for fear that they will rebel and will really give them power? But if it is not for the appointment of officials, what is the content of this imperial decree?
Not only Hu Yanrui, Yu Chixiu and other guests were also full of curiosity.

Yu Chixiu patted the table directly, and said rudely: "Master Xiao, speak more quickly, what is the edict? Just read it out."

"Don't worry, don't worry, chat while eating." Xiao Wenzhao didn't care about Yu Chixiu's disrespectful behavior at all, with a gentle smile on his face, "Ah Wen, sit down and eat first."

"Yes." Wu Chongwen sat down without looking sideways.

His outstanding appearance and his fluent Su'an language attracted countless eyes. He never expected that there would be such a god-like handsome man in the Central Plains.
