The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 148 Beat gongs and drums to collect debts

Lu Chongshan was very polite to the chamberlain and made a gesture: "Please."

The chamberlain smiled and bent down, not modestly, "The slave will declare the decree first."

Mrs. Xie and the masters of the Xie family guessed that this chamberlain had a high status and heard that he had an edict, so they quickly knelt down to listen to the edict.

The chamberlain shook the Buddha dust in his hand and said: "The emperor ordered Xie to immediately return all the items according to Lu Wan's list, and those that could not be returned were converted into five thousand taels of silver, plus Xie's entire collection of calligraphy and paintings to make up for it. Wenxinhou was specially ordered to personally supervise it. , there must be no mistake.”

Mrs. Xie’s head was about to explode and she was trembling all over.

There is a difference between the Xie family voluntarily giving it and the emperor's decree to force it.

Xie Duo and Xie Huaiyu looked pale, but in the face of the imperial edict, who dared to say no.

Lu Chongshan's face was also very ugly. The Xie family's behavior had caused him trouble.

He, the dignified Marquis Wenxin, actually wanted to do such an offending thing for the little bitch.

Qing Ming also hurriedly explained: "Master Yan arranged for someone to protect the girl secretly."

"I obey the order." Lu Chongshan said together with the Xie family.

Qing Ming stepped forward and held her hands: "Our Lord has not come back yet. When you left, you told me that if Miss Lu has something important, we will help you."

Lu Wan glanced at them with a suspicious look on her face: "You sir sent so many people to protect me? Why didn't Cang Lang go with Mr Yan?"

It's fast enough.

Everyone saluted her.

Zhiruo and the others quickly changed Lu Wan's clothes and makeup. As soon as they finished dressing up, a little maid ran in from outside to report.

"There are still things in the palace, so I'll leave first." The chamberlain didn't want to stay in such a place of right and wrong for a long time, so he left quickly.

Cang Lang held the sword in his arms and thought about how to open his mouth.

"At dawn, let's go to Xie's Mansion to collect things." Lu Wan's eyes lit up.

"Ah? He's back?" Lu Wan picked up her skirt and hurried out.

Lu Wan walked down, "Where is Master Yan?"

Lu Wan turned to look at the dawn.

As soon as Lu Wan returned to the palace, someone came to the palace.

"The emperor ordered Wen Xinhou to go to the Xie family?" Lu Wan was a little surprised.

Dawn quickly shook her head: "I didn't say that."

"Girl, Lord Si Yan's people from the Imperial City are here."

When Lu Wan walked outside the gate, she saw Cang Lang and Qing Ming waiting at the gate with more than a dozen imperial city officials, followed by more than a dozen Kaifeng government officials and several open carriages.

But Yan Yunhe was not seen.

Lu Chongshan said coldly: "Thank you, madam, hurry up. I am busy."

Mrs. Xie was helped up, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she had to hold it back: "Master Lu, please come in for tea and snacks, we will prepare immediately."

Didn't his master just let him, the head of the personal bodyguard, protect him because he valued Lu Wan?
Qing Ming spoke quickly: "Cang Lang has the best kung fu. He is the only one who can protect the girl. I'm just running errands and talking, hehe."

Dawn frowned: "You are the only one who talks a lot."

Qing Ming choked and muttered: "The wood is silent, I'm afraid the girl won't understand."

Lu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the carriage: "What are you doing? Help me load my things?"

"Yes." Qing Ming's eyes were bright: "You are thoughtful, aren't you?"

"Well, that's very thoughtful. I didn't even think of it." Lu Wan nodded in approval.

"Not only this, I also arranged a gong and drum team, which should be at the gate of Xie's Mansion by now."

Lu Wan opened her mouth: "I really didn't expect this."

The Xie family had no idea that Lu Wan would come over. Seeing the crowded group of people and the eager gongs and drums team, Mrs. Xie almost stopped standing.

"Lu Wan, what do you mean?" Xie Duo looked ferocious.

Qing Ming stood forward and said, "This is arranged by us and has nothing to do with Miss Lu."

Xie Duo became even angrier after hearing this and cursed angrily: "You slave dog! Who allowed you to bark here!"

Without saying a word, Cang Lang whipped out his waist sword and stabbed Xie Duo in the neck.

Xie Duo's eyes were full of anger, but he didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

Mrs. Xie's vision went dark and she almost fell down. She bit her tongue hard to wake herself up.

He hurriedly said: "Duo'er, don't be so presumptuous!"

Xie Duo didn't dare to move, his eyes rolled around.

There were already many people watching the excitement outside. Some people knew about this, and the word spread.

Qing Ming smiled and waved to the gong and drum team: "Today is a great thing for Miss Lu. You all started playing hard and lively, and didn't stop until everything was taken out."

The blowing and beating at the gate is like urging people to die.

It was very lively for a while, and there were more people watching, and soon there were three floors inside and three floors outside.

Mrs. Xie's eyes were filled with venom, and she wished she could eat Lu Wan and the others alive.

But she could only endure it.

Mrs. Xie, holding back her anger, stepped forward and said to Cang Lang in a good voice: "My lord, you are reckless. Aren't you here to get something for Miss Lu? Please come inside quickly."

Mrs. Xie glanced coldly at the young girl who was being protected by a few people from the Imperial City Department, and pretended to be relaxed and ordered: "The guests are here, they don't know how to serve tea, and they have no rules."

Qing Ming snorted, "No need, we're afraid of poison in the tea."

Xie Duo's face turned pale when he heard this: "Don't slander us! My Xie family has been a noble family for a hundred years, how can we do such a despicable thing?"

Qing Ming crossed his arms and crossed his chest, looking carefree: "Oh, you Xie family has a bottom line in doing things? What is more cruel than poisoning is playing dirty tricks."

Xie Duo's face became angry, and he clenched his fist to say hello to Qing Ming's face.

Qing Ming's eyes suddenly darkened, and dawn stopped in front of Qing Ming.

He stared at the back of his head with a double bun in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart.

"Second Master Xie, you want to be rough? I belong to Miss Lu, and the Imperial City Division is here to escort me on the emperor's order. If you dare to do something, don't blame me for being rude!"

Cang Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qing Ming: "You Wu...".

Qing Ming quickly raised his foot and stomped it hard, hitting Cang Lang's instep.

Canglang: "...!"

So this guy is pretending to be weak in front of dawn?

Qing Ming stepped forward, approached Mingxiao, and stretched out his big head behind her to look at Xie Duo.

"Second Master Xie, I don't know martial arts. If Second Master Xie is full of anger and wants to vent his anger on others, and insists on taking two blows from me, I will have no choice but to suffer. However, you don't have time to deliver the things." Too much. If the delay continues, we will escort Miss Lu to play the drum."

Mrs. Xie and Xie Duo's faces turned green and white.

Mingxiao turned his head and said with a cold face: "Why should I accept his fist when I am here?"

Qing Zhenzhen said he was just joking.

Dawn had turned around and walked to Lu Wan, no longer looking at him.

Angry?
Qing Ming looked at her in panic.

People don't like him anymore.

Marquis Wenxin, Lu Chongshan, was sitting all the time. A group of people came in and didn't even look at him. They just treated him as transparent.

Especially that little bitch Lu Wan, her eyes reached the top of her head.

He said with a sullen face: "Is this what Commander Yan taught you? The Imperial City Division is becoming more and more unruly! When will it be the Imperial City Division's turn to take charge of matters within the family's residence?"

Qing Ming looked surprised: "Oh, Mr. Luhou, you are here. I thought it was the Buddha statue newly invited by the Xie family, and I was thinking why I didn't light incense. The Xie family disrespects the Buddha very much."

Lu Chongshan's face turned dark.

Before Lu Chongshan could speak, Qing Ming looked embarrassed and said, "Master Lu is really good at praising people. I'm so proud of you."

Lu Chongshan: "..." His face was livid, and his blood was boiling with anger.

Cang Lang said coldly: "The rules of the Imperial City Division have always been to only deal with those who are treacherous, whether inside or outside the court. If Lord Lu is dissatisfied with the lenient management of our Imperial City Division, feel free to join us."

Marquis Wenxin was so scolded by two little people that he wanted to curse them: "Huh, let's see if your Commander Yan has the life to come back and wait for me to join him!"

Cang Lang and Qing Ming's expressions changed slightly.

Lu Wan hurriedly looked at Cang Lang.

What do you mean?
How could he die?
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie rolled her eyes, glanced at Marquis Wenxin, and then at Xie Duo.

Xie Duo's eyes evaded.

Could it be that the son and Marquis Wenxin attacked the eunuch?
Mrs. Xie knew that today's situation was critical, so she ignored her anger. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger: "You don't have to be pretentious. Aren't you here to take stock of Miss Lu's things today? I'll be here right away."

"Son, hurry up and urge me."

Xie Duo was very reluctant, but his words could not defeat these shameless people.

"Yes, mother."

Just as he was about to go out, Xie Huaiyu came with someone.
