Chapter 240 A Hundred Years of Grudge

Baishui County, county government lobby.

Under the high-hanging plaque in the mirror, a person was lying on the magistrate's throne, swinging his legs on the desk quite leisurely.

As for the county magistrate Liu An, who was supposed to be sitting here, he was sitting solemnly on a simple chair under the hall.

Wei Xin, who was playing with the lottery tube, finally seemed to notice Liu Zhixian, who was restless in the hall, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhixian..."

When Liu An heard this, he straightened his back instantly and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

When Wei Xin saw Liu An's cowardly look, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. He simply took his legs off the desk and sat upright. His face suddenly became serious, and then he coldly snorted: "A few people from the mountains will kill you." You have caused chaos in Baishui County, costing dozens of lives and injuring countless others!”

"Snapped!"

The gavel was photographed so loudly that it made a loud noise!

Wei Xin angrily rebuked: "How dare you say that you are not neglecting your duties and running away from the battlefield!"

But the scene when Liu Qishun killed Silver Leopard that day suddenly appeared in his mind.

This is clearly an official strife against Xu County Lieutenant!

"This..." Although Liu An only got a seventh-grade county magistrate in his late sixties, he had been immersed in official circles for many years, so how could he not understand the meaning of Wei Xin's words.

Swish!

Then he thought of Xu Yongding, who was imprisoned in the county jail at this time. He already understood the purpose of this woman's visit. His eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

"Zhixian Liu, did you understand what I said about arresting the head?"

What could happen?

Wei Xin also heard that Liu An called Liu Qi "Miss Xu" just now, so he looked at it with some confusion. Only then did he find to his surprise that the person at the door of the lobby turned out to be a stunning woman!

Jiang Hao, didn't he lead people to search Xu Yongding's mansion?

Wei Xin's eyes suddenly shrank when a slight noise reached his ears, and then he saw a figure appearing at the entrance of the lobby like a ghost!

"Miss Xu, which room of the Xu family is the young lady from?" Wei Xin licked his lips, his eyes showing greed, and he stared at Liu Qi's face reluctantly.

At this moment, a person hurriedly ran out of the lobby.

Wei Xin's already narrowed eyes suddenly widened!
He subconsciously raised his sword, but a dazed look flashed in his eyes.

hiss--

Upon hearing this, Liu An could only bow silently and hold his hands in hand.

"Are you Wei Xin?" Liu Qi still said the same thing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xin seemed to notice something and suddenly raised his head and looked outside the lobby door.

The sharp knife whistle sounded instantly.

"Hahaha..." Wei Xin smiled nonchalantly, "Yes, I am Wei Xin."

Liu An didn't even see his niece's movements clearly. The silver leopard who killed his officers and soldiers was killed on the spot!
Liu An instantly felt that maybe he was the one who should shut up and retreat.

No wonder that after they reported the matter of the Four Immortals in Western Shu to the government, they received surprisingly little feedback and assistance. Now it seems that the Wei family may have been behind it.

A policeman rushed in in a hurry, and without even having time to salute, he gasped and said: "Jiang...Jiang...Captain Jiang, something happened!"

Seeing Liu An's submissive attitude, Wei Xin smiled knowingly, and then his tone suddenly turned down: "Mr. Liu, I know it's not easy for you to arrest me. In another year, you should retire and return to your hometown to take care of yourself."

Perhaps it was because he subconsciously regarded Liu Qi as a junior. When he saw Liu Qi appearing here, the words "What are you doing here? Why don't you get out quickly?" This sentence almost reached Liu An's lips.

"Oh no!"

Liu An was instantly in a dilemma.

Liu An knew that he could not afford to offend the Wei family, but Lieutenant Xu and he had been colleagues for several years, and they got along very harmoniously.

Langlang!

Wei Xin drew his sword out of its sheath, stared at the mysterious figure appearing at the door with vigilance, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who is coming? Don't you know this is the county government hall!"

Wei Xin smiled confidently and said: "As a county lieutenant of Baishui County, Xu Yongding has the heavy responsibility of guarding the people. If the superiors investigate, Liu Zhixian will be blamed for an oversight. Maybe it will be revealed." In view of your advanced age, wouldn’t it be a good idea to allow you to take up your official position one year in advance?”

"If you were not a civil servant, I would have taken you to the jail with the man named Xu!"

Since entering the officialdom, Liu An has spent half of his life in Qingjiang Mansion. Naturally, he is also aware of the past of the Wei family and the Xu family, but he did not expect that the Wei family's methods would be so despicable!
Hey--

"Miss Xu..." At this time, the county magistrate Liu An also recognized that the person standing at the door was Liu Qi, who had just returned to Xu's house.

Seeing his subordinates out of breath, Wei Xin frowned impatiently: "Useless thing, what happened to it!"

Hearing this, Liu Qi raised her eyes and glanced at the muscular man in the six-door headhunting suit above the hall, and then asked softly: "Are you Wei Xin?"

The whistling of the knife was clearly heard in my ears, but everything in front of me was so peaceful, except... the stunning woman standing at the door suddenly walked slowly towards him.

Looking at Liu An who was hesitant, Wei Xin's face gradually darkened, and he sneered in his heart, cursing the old guy for being punished for not eating the toast!

So Liu An sat back silently, watching his eyes, nose, and heart, and decided not to get involved in the whole process.

"Shut up!" Wei Xin shouted unceremoniously, "It's already this time, and you are still here shirking responsibility!"

Liu An cursed in his heart when he heard this, but at this moment he could only hold up his hands and smile bitterly: "Captain Wei has learned clearly that the Four Immortals of Western Shu are by no means ordinary people. If not..."

"Captain Wei, it's bad!"

stop!

Wei Xin wanted to open his mouth to stop, but found that he had opened his mouth as wide as possible, but no sound came out.

His eyes instantly widened to the extreme, and his eyeballs were about to squirt out.

He seemed to have realized something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of weightlessness hit me, and everything in front of me suddenly started to roll. The woman slowly approaching the entrance of the lobby, the frightened subordinates and Liu An in the hall, the desk, the hand holding the long sword, and... my own foot!
Gollum-

Something rolled down under the desk.

Immediately afterwards, the headless corpse standing behind the desk fell down with a bang, smashing the Taishi chair under him to pieces with a "bang"!
Liu An was stunned and froze on the spot until Liu Qi's voice reached his ears.

"Liu Zhixian, it's your turn to come out and take charge of the situation." Thinking that Liu An was already a certain age and had a good relationship with Xu Yongding, and had just faced Wei Xin's persecution and did not immediately choose to go along with it, Liu Qi said something to him. Quite polite.

Otherwise, I would have just asked him to come out and clean the floor.

Although the meaning is the same!
……

Xu Yongding stayed in the prison for less than an hour before being released.

Xu Yongding was surprised when Liu An brought someone to pick him up.

"Liu Zhixian, what happened?" Xu Yongding looked at Liu An, who was unshackling him with his own hands, and saw something was wrong with his expression, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Wei Xin, was he the one who let me out?"

It shouldn’t be!

After untying the shackles on Xu Yongding's hands, Liu An took a deep look at him, then shook his head and sighed: "Xu County Lieutenant, you... better go back to your house first."

Xu Yongding's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he asked hurriedly: "But what happened at home?"

Liu An nodded first, but then quickly shook his head. Finally, he could only say helplessly: "You will know when you go back and take a look."

At this time, Xu Yongding's face was as cold as ice. He thought that no matter how bold Wei Xin was, he would never dare to attack his family. After all, frame-up and blaming in the officialdom were considered normal confrontations, but harming his family was just a matter of life and death. Got it!

Although the Wei family and the Xu family have been grudges for hundreds of years, they are still restrained towards each other. After all, no one is sure that they will completely drive the other into dust and never recover.

……

Xu Yongding hurried back home, only to find that everything in the house was as before.

It's just that the servant who came up had a strange expression after seeing him, and it seemed to be exactly the same as Liu Zhixian's expression!
"Sir, my wife and young lady are waiting for you in the backyard. My wife also specifically told me that if you come back, you should take a bath and wash yourself first before going to the backyard."

Although Xu Yongding was a little confused, when he heard that his wife was still in a leisurely mood and asked him to wash up, his originally uneasy mood instantly calmed down a lot.

So after taking a shower, washing up, and changing into clean clothes.

Xu Yongding came to the backyard. As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard his wife's clear and hearty laughter coming from the room.

Xu Yongding couldn't help but look a little dazed.

It seemed that I hadn’t heard my wife’s laughter for many years.

At this moment, I suddenly heard it, as if I had returned to the scene when I first met my wife at the home of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. At that time, she wore her father-in-law's headcatcher costume and pretended to be her father-in-law meeting her. Although she saw through it at a glance, she still called her respectfully. He shouted Tao Baotou, causing his wife to laugh, and the laughter was as hearty and crisp as today.

The corners of Xu Yongding's lips raised unconsciously, then he gathered his thoughts, waved his hand to the maid waiting at the door, not to report anything, and then he opened the door and walked in.

creak-

Liu Qi, who was drinking fruit wine, heard the door open and looked up. Seeing that Xu Yongding was back, she quickly lowered her eyes and continued to taste the sweet and delicious fruit wine in the cup.

Mrs. Tao specially asked someone to buy this after hearing Zhou Mi talk about Liu Qi occasionally drinking several jugs of fine wine on the road.

Liu Qi drank the fruit wine in one gulp and then smacked it in his mouth. It was indeed sweet and delicious, but it didn't feel like anything when drinking it. It didn't have the spicy taste of real wine.

At this time, Mrs. Tao, who was chatting and laughing with Zhou Mi, also noticed her husband's return, so she quickly stood up and greeted him, then covered her mouth and chuckled in his ear: "Xu County Lieutenant, how does it feel in prison? "

Xu Yongding blushed, but quickly returned to normal. Then he remembered what Magistrate Liu said to him in the prison, and asked: "What happened?" Looking at Mr. Liu's face, it seemed that Wei Xin came to the door. coming?"

Hearing the name "Wei Xin", Tao's smile suddenly faded, the look of disgust and disgust on his face was not concealed, and he nodded lightly.

"But...it's okay now." A smile bloomed on Mrs. Tao's face again. While helping Xu Yongding sit down, he looked proudly at Liu Qi, who was adding fruit juice to the cup.

"Our daughter is much more promising than you, and everything has been resolved!"

Only then did Xu Yongding feel completely relieved, and then he stared at Liu Qi lovingly for a long time, and finally turned his head and said angrily: "After I return this time, I will definitely inform the eldest brother of Nanfu about what Wei Xin has done. We must let the Wei family give us an explanation!"

But Xu Yongding didn't notice at all that after he said these words, Tao's hand around his arm suddenly stiffened.

Liu Qi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke slowly: "I don't think this is necessary. I have already asked for my explanation."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yongding was confused.

Mrs. Tao looked hesitant, as if she didn't know how to speak to Xu Yongding.

Liu Qi drank the fruit juice in the cup in one gulp, and continued to add more to the cup with a delicate pottery pot. He said nonchalantly: "Wei Xin has been killed by me."

"what!"

Xu Yongding stood up!
However, he saw his daughter continue to say unhurriedly: "There was also a catcher named Jiang Hao, who was also killed by me."

After saying that, Liu Qi held a cup filled with fruit juice and slowly raised his eyes to look at Xu Yongding: "Can the Xu family settle these two murder cases?"

Ping Liuqi actually doesn't care whether the Xu family shows off or not.

Anyway, she can handle it herself.

She already knew most of the situation of the Wei family from Mrs. Tao.

Liu Qi also knew more or less about the grievances between the Wei family and the Xu family.

The Wei family can be regarded as a big local family in Qingjiang Prefecture, with a deeper foundation than the Xu family. Before the Xu family became prosperous, the Wei family was already the dominant family in Qingjiang Prefecture.

It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that a descendant of the third generation of the Xu family joined the service of Xiao Lang, the great ancestor of Da Qi who was still a prince at that time.

Coincidentally, Qingjiang Mansion was not only outside Xiao Lang's sphere of influence at that time, but also fell under the sphere of influence of Bai Ming, the "Emperor of Heaven" who was in tit-for-tat opposition to Xiao Lang.

At that time, the Wei family had already taken refuge with Bai Tianming, so after learning that a descendant of the Xu family was working for Xiao Lang, the Wei family launched a wave of purges against the Xu family, which almost destroyed the Xu family.

Fortunately, Xiao Lang arrived quickly enough to prevent the Xu family from being exterminated by the Wei family. From then on, the feud between the two families was completely closed.

It's just that the Wei family changed its banner in time and joined Xiao Lang's army when he called, and also made a lot of achievements, so this grudge gradually became complicated.

Of course, the Wei family is not that easy to get away with.

The third-generation descendant of the Xu family who worked for Xiao Lang back then, when the Wei family held a banquet and wanted to understand the grudges between the two families, he took action and killed almost all the Wei family members present.

Therefore, most of the current Wei family are not the main branch of the Wei family back then, because they were all killed by the third-generation descendant of the Xu family.

Coincidentally, most of the current Xu family are not the descendants of the head branch of the Xu family, because they were all killed by the Wei family before Xiao Lang took Qingjiang Mansion.

Therefore, although the feud between the two families has continued, if you think about it carefully, the people who are now in charge of the two families are more or less grateful for this feud that has lasted for hundreds of years.
