The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 102 The decree has arrived
After Xu Qingluo slapped the servant of the Fu family, he didn't pay attention to the other party's hateful eyes. He turned around and supported Xu Liang who was on the side, and greeted that Yan Butou and Qiantui, saying that it was inconvenient for the government to investigate the case. I'm sorry to bother you, and my father has an injury that needs to be dealt with, so I want to avoid it.

Yan Butou glanced at the Fujia servant whose mouth was bleeding from Xu Qingluo's slap, then looked at Xu Qingluo's calm and steady face, and waved his hand with a smile, promising Xu Qingluo to take Xu Liang away first: "The City Lord's Mansion If my subordinates bully Goodness, if the murder and injury are true, I will definitely report to the county magistrate and deal with it strictly, Miss Xu can rest assured."

He thought of the county magistrate's explanation before he came, and was extra polite to Xu Qingluo.

Yan Butou is polite, and Xu Qingluo will not show face to others. Most of her indifference is towards the enemy. Yan Butou can be regarded as a short-term ally. Looking at Chitose who is silent, Xu Qingluo Nodding his head in thanks, he took Xu Liang to the backyard.

"Luo'er, is it okay if we're not there? After all, the people who returned home are looking for trouble from us."

Xu Liang asked in a low voice.

"It's not clear where we are, Dad, just wait and see, the Fujia people have caused a lot of trouble this time."

When Xu Qingluo thought of the people in Huai County who spoke earnestly in the front yard of Xu's mansion and complained to Fujia, a strange look flashed in their eyes, but they didn't know how long it took someone to prepare for this.

"It really caused a lot of trouble. Fujia did go too far, and the people under him were too domineering, and even hurt people's lives. This time, even the City Lord's Mansion can be overthrown."

Xu Liang's temperament is gentle, but it doesn't mean that he will worry about the enemy like a fool at this time. If those servants of the Fu family scold Xu Qingluo, he feels hateful when he thinks about it. Trouble, it's not surprising that he was expecting the opponent to lose power for a while.

Xu Qingluo took a look at the undisguised expectation on Xu Liang's face. Although he didn't want to disappoint his father, it's better not to let him have too much hope: "Father, Fujia has been operating in Wuzhou City for a long time. , it is not so easy to capsize, just like this time, there are so many people complaining, but most of them are from Huai County, and there are no people from Wuzhou City. Why? It is not because the people of Wuzhou City have not been bullied. The performance of those servants, I'm sure they were under more pressure than the Huai County people, but they didn't dare to trust the government, and they didn't dare to go against the Fujia."

"For this incident, Fujia will cause big trouble, but at most it will hurt one's vitality. The seat of the city lord is probably still Fujia."

Xu Qingluo said the answer that would disappoint Xu Liang, but she didn't say it. Based on her understanding of Gong Ziyan, this was just the beginning. If the man wants to deal with anyone, he will definitely uproot him. Today's scene will not be the end.

Xu Qingluo didn't want Xu Liang to know too much of the inside story, and sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much, especially Xu Liang, who is kind to others and doesn't like to hide it.

"Hey, I really don't know how someone like Fujia can become a city lord."

Xu Liang sighed in a low voice, a little disappointed, but also felt that Xu Qingluo was right.

"Okay, Dad, you should take care of the injury on your head now, and think about how to explain to your mother when you see your mother later."

Xu Qingluo chuckled, and wiped the last bit of ointment on Xu Liang's forehead evenly. She had just carefully bandaged the wound in the front yard, and she was re-treating the wound on his forehead.

Xu Liang instantly forgot about returning home, and his face was full of bitterness: "It's broken."

Xu Qingluo looked at the back of Xu Liang leaving in a hurry, the smile on his face disappeared, and his face was filled with coldness. How could such a person become the lord of Wuzhou City before Fuming?Of course, it was because the person above who gave the right didn't even think about whether it was appropriate for a person like him before Fuming to become the lord of a city, and how much disaster he would bring to the people.

Wouldn't all the benefits given out before Fuming be entered into the private treasury of the No.1 in the world?

When Xu Qingluo went out, the people who sued the Fujia and the servants of the Fujia had already left, Qiantui and the butler of the Prince's Mansion also left, only a few official servants were still there, and they were dealing with the servants of the Xu family. People asked, after they saw Xu Qingluo, they comforted Xu Qingluo, to the effect that the county magistrate would not let the Fu family oppress the goodness so arbitrarily, and would definitely protect the Xu family, with a good attitude Incredible.

Xu Qingluo also listened with a smile, anyway, let's just let it go, even though she guessed that the former county magistrate might reach an agreement with someone, but what does an ally do?It is used when it is useful, and betrayed when it is useless. She will probably need a lot of help in the future to find some evidence that the Fu family oppressed the good, ran amok, and disregarded human life.

After sending everyone away, it was already very late, and looking at the dark street outside, Xu Qingluo closed the door himself: "Everyone has worked hard today. Receiving half a month's monthly payment is considered shocking."

Several servants who had been greeting the officials and the people of Huai County all smiled happily, and thanked Miss for the reward.

Although the monthly payment for half a month is not much, it was Xu Qingluo who made great efforts today. They didn't do any real help. It was a surprise to be able to get the monthly payment for this half month.

Xu Qingluo looked at the clean and tidy servants of Xu's mansion who were happily leaving, and lowered his eyes. Although these servants who followed from Huai County to Wuzhou City were loyal, they lacked the ability to deal with them. Last time Xu Liang took them to the city lord's mansion to ask Xu's mother to be beaten instead, and this time, the servants of Fujia almost oppressed the people of Xu's family, which made Xu Qingluo consider whether to recruit one or two people with some martial arts skills. The guardian servant.

She can't always be there just in time for others to make trouble.

While lowering her head and thinking about various things, Xu Qingluo suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked at the shadow in front of her eyes and raised her head. Chitose's sarcastic baby face should not be too obvious.

"Miss Xu, our young master is here to invite you."

Chitose looked at Xu Qingluo's usual sarcastic face, but his eyes were more vigilant, and his words were more cautious. It was really Xu Qingluo's method of poisoning and drugging that he had to pay attention to.

Although those Fujia's servants were only small characters with some kung fu skills, but Xu Qingluo was able to put everyone down so easily, so he couldn't help but pay attention to them.

The corners of Xu Qingluo's lips twitched slightly: "Young master came back quite quickly."

Just don't know if it's back now or if it hasn't been away at all for how long.

The information that Fu Yingying keeps saying seems to be really inaccurate.

Xu Qingluo raised his foot, obviously agreeing to meet with Young Master Yan.

To be honest, she was really curious about how Young Master Yan would deal with Fujia. There were countless holes in Fujia's body that could be torn apart. Just like today, it has not been a year or two since he oppressed the people, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and ran amok. Other people might be able to die a time or two after being stabbed this time, but as far as Yu Fujia is concerned, it will hurt his vitality at most. As long as the person at the top is still willing to protect Fujia, it is heinous so what?
Chitose glanced at Xu Qingluo, said nothing, and led the way.

Gong Ziyan was not too far away, in the alley outside Xu's mansion, this time he was still standing under the tree, Xu Qingluo found that men seemed to like standing under the tree, the branches at night lingered with dark shadows, There is something unpredictable about dividing the man's face.

"Young master seems to be in a good mood."

Xu Qingluo saw the smile drawn on the corners of the man's lips, it was not a sarcastic and cold smile, but a real smile with warmth.

"A beautiful day, accompanied by a beautiful woman, how can I be in a bad mood?"

Young Master Yan was fiddling with a green branch and leaf casually in his hand, and said it seemed to be true.

Xu Qingluo felt the extraordinarily cold and stern gaze of Qiantui on her body, and sneered: "Save this sentence to deceive those naive little girls, don't waste it on me."

Chitose's eyes seemed as if she had plans for his young master. Xu Qingluo thought it was funny. No matter how handsome or intelligent someone like Gong Ziyan was, it was not her thing. She saw how unpredictable Gong Ziyan was. The most difficult thing for people is not to be moved, but to be vigilant. The closer the other party is to her, the more vigilant she will be.

"Miss Xu is really different, no wonder Brother Lang loves you so much."

Gongzi Yan had a half-smile on his face, and casually crushed the green leaf in his hand: "I don't know what Miss Xu thinks about my proposal to ask Chitose to pass it on?"

He was talking about the proposal to work together to remove Fujia.

Xu Qingluo gently tucked the hair from her ears behind her ears: "Didn't you ask the question knowingly? If I can deal with Fujia, I naturally hope to be able to pull it out by the roots."

Xu Qingluo's smile was particularly good-looking, but his words were extremely cold: "Tell me, you must let me know what your son is going to do, otherwise, I am worried that the cooperation between the two of us will not be good, and it will be a little bit late." The mistake made the Fujia take advantage of the loophole, and neither you nor I will be very happy."

Young Master Yan looked at Xu Qingluo, looked at her very seriously, as if he wanted to study her thoroughly, Xu Qingluo was not afraid, and let his probing eyes look at him freely.

After a long time, the man sighed: "I thought it was an interesting delicate flower, but I didn't expect it to be a poisonous flower."

"No matter how poisonous it is, it will not harm allies."

Xu Qingluo received it nonchalantly, not paying any attention to the poisonous words in Young Master Yan's mouth.

"Fujia has become more and more arrogant in recent years. In the final analysis, it is relying on the backing of a saint. Therefore, if you want to eradicate it and prevent Fujia from having any chance of turning around, the best way is to let Fujia suffer from the saint. Disgusted, let the saint himself remove it."

Gong Ziyan looked down at his white, almost transparent fingers: "I don't know what you think of this idea?"

The smile on Xu Qingluo's lips subsided, and after a long while: "It's a good idea, but you have to be careful, the young master. The one above is not easy to keep, and if you are not careful, you will fold yourself in."

A person like her, who experienced a mess in the palace in her previous life, can use it conveniently to the emperor who everyone in the world looks up to and respect, and disrespect if she says no. How can Gong Ziyan be able to use it conveniently to the emperor?
You know, like Lang Sheng and Xu Liang, it's normal to talk about the emperor with a loyal and respectful look.

"After more than a month, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, His Majesty will go south. Wuzhou City on the South Tour Road is a chosen foothold."

Young Master Yan raised his head and said to Xu Qingluo: "It's just that it's not certain which family His Majesty will stay at then."

Xu Qingluo was a little surprised, not because he was surprised that the emperor had chosen Wuzhou City as a foothold, but because Gong Ziyan was very well informed. She didn't hide her emotions and sneered: "Even if His Majesty really came to Wuzhou City, The ones selected are usually Fujia, after all, the City Lord's Mansion was responsible for picking up the driver in previous years, and the picking up was very attentive."

The intention is too much, isn't that His Majesty who likes to dig money in the private treasury very fond of Fujia, and keeps adding grace?

Gong Ziyan pressed his hand on the tree trunk, and his fingertips pressed a little vine, his eyes narrowed slightly, his smile was still so gentle, but his words were not at all friendly: "Fujia is Wuzhou City The owner of the city, in the entire Wuzhou City, there is no one who has such good conditions for taking over as a family. It's just that all his glory comes from the one above him like the vines entangled with the big tree. If you want them to be good, everything will be fine, if the person above sees them getting back home, then everything will be bad."

What Gong Ziyan said meant something. Xu Qingluo really didn't know what he was going to do. The emperor's nature would not be willing to give up Fujia, a purse that sent money to his private treasury.

"Forget it, Fujia and I have fallen out anyway, as long as you don't stab me in the back halfway, I will naturally cooperate with the rest. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Xu Qingluo gathered the clothes on her body, the night wind was cold, she thought that Gong Ziyan had specially asked her to explain something important, or the next step, but it was just a few words that Chitose could pass on , in the end is a little disappointed.

Seeing that Xu Qingluo was about to leave, Gong Ziyan suddenly said: "Brother Lang is still waiting for your reply, I wonder if Miss Xu has anything I need to bring, if not, Brother Lang will blame me, you know, He has been looking forward to Miss Xu's letter."

When he talked about Lang Sheng, Xu Qingluo stopped in his tracks, rubbing the envelope in his sleeve twice: "I'll write it when I get back."

Gong Ziyan said that the emperor would go south in one and a half months, and Qiansui told him that Lang Sheng would come with the royal family. Does that mean that she will be able to actually see the man in one and a half months?
For a while, Xu Qingluo wanted to tell Lang Sheng a lot, wanted to ask him some definite news, and she felt that she couldn't wait any longer.

"Miss Xu, Brother Lang, I have one more thing for you."

Gong Ziyan looked at Xu Qingluo's beautiful face with a little anxiety and curiosity, and thought of the other party's expression that had never had a big emotional ups and downs when he talked about returning home, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, even he couldn't understand it. My own complicated thoughts, a whistle.

Xu Qingluo heard the flapping of wings and the cooing of some kind of animal.

Her eyes lit up, she looked at the cage that Chitose was carrying, and the white flying bird in the cage: "This is."

"The pigeon that can fly directly to someone in the capital, an impatient person waiting for a letter, is free to train for Miss Xu."

Gong Ziyan inserted his hand into his sleeve pocket, looked at Xu Qingluo's obviously happy expression when he was holding the cage, curled his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xu Qingluo's fingertips kept teasing the chubby pigeon. He didn't even know when Gong Ziyan and Chitose left, but looking at the fat pigeon, the bad mood caused by today's bad things seemed to calm down together. .

She is in a very good mood now, and she just wants to write a long letter immediately, and then let Fat Pigeon take it to the capital.

Under the night, with the window half-opened, Xu Qingluo looked at the pigeons that he let fly, and watched the little guy struggling to flap his wings to fly into the night sky, his eyes were curved, and he was full of longing.

She only wrote a line of poetry in her previous letter. She didn't know when she and Lang Cheng would meet again. Considering that he might go to the border at any time, she didn't want to distract Lang Cheng, so she didn't say anything about her recent situation. , just wrote a poem about lovesickness, but later knowing that Lang Sheng might come over soon, she couldn't help writing a lot in her letter, including the good and bad of her recent experiences, even Bad, Xu Qingluo also spoke bluntly about her coping methods, she didn't want to hide the man's true self, she just wanted to share any memory of herself with the man.

I wrote about how I missed him, asking when he would visit her in Wuzhou City, asking if he missed her, and asking how he was in the capital.

Xu Qingluo originally wanted to ask Lang Sheng if he really accompanied the emperor southward as Gongzi Yan said, but then he thought that the man was in the capital, and there were many people watching, and it would be bad if the pigeon was intercepted Well, if people see the emperor's news, they will inevitably be accused of spying on the emperor's trace and leaking the emperor's trace, and no one will be able to please.

Then rationally pressed this question back into his stomach.

The girl who watched the carrier pigeon go away did not know that the pigeon that was said to be flying directly to the capital was stopped at a mansion not far from Xu's mansion. The baby-faced boy handed the mailbox under the carrier pigeon to the man in white. Gently unroll the rolled paper strip inside.

After a long while, she chuckled softly, "It's because I underestimated her."

"Put it back as it is."

The man casually put the note on the table, got up and left, his figure was a little inexplicably disappointed.

-

Three days later, Xu Qingluo waited for the chubby pigeon to arrive. After being woken up, she met the innocent little black eyes of the chubby pigeon. The girl's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to reach out and grab the pigeon. The fat pigeon didn't know how to resist, and obediently let the opponent untie the bamboo tube tied to her paw, and then couldn't wait to eat the rice grains in the small porcelain plate on the table.

Xu Qingluo untied the string tied on the bamboo tube.

Just about to take a closer look, there was a knock on the door: "Miss, a father-in-law from the capital city came to Wuzhou City to deliver an order. The city lord ordered all the famous wealthy gentry and families in Wuzhou City to go to the gate to welcome you. The master wants you to go there quickly. Already prepared."

Xu Qingluo subconsciously speculated whether the sudden imperial decree had something to do with the Holy Spirit's southern tour a month and a half later, but regretfully put the letter paper in his pocket, that's all, let's take a closer look at it later.

When Xu Qingluo went out, not only Xu Liang and Xu's mother, but also Mrs. Xu, who kept saying that she was inconvenient, was also there. Seeing Xu Qingluo coming out, Xu Liang and Xu's mother hadn't said anything, so Mrs. Xu directly She frowned and scolded: "What time is it, and you're still asleep. You're too slack as a lady. Look at Wan'er, she's already packed up early and can still be my old lady's companion."

Even if Mrs. Xu's attitude towards the three members of the Xu family, especially Xu's mother, is much stronger, it is still stronger than the previous attitude of being an enemy. When they really get along, they are still picky. Xu Qingluo is not much better. Xu's mother said, "Mother-in-law, it's not too late for Luo'er to come. It's good for her to sleep more at such a young age. Wan'er is about the same age as Luo'er. It's better to take care of her."

Xu's mother had a good feeling towards Xiao Zhou and Xu Weiwan at first, but after Xu Qingluo's persuasion, and seeing Xiao Zhou rushing to Xu Liang's side these two days, Mrs. Xu turned to Xu Weiwan again. She couldn't stand the look of being more considerate than her own granddaughter.

"Brother Liang, look at your good daughter-in-law, and you're contradicting me, it's the opposite of the sky."

Mrs. Xu was pushed up by Xu's mother, she looked ugly and wanted to talk to Xu Liang.

Xu Qingluo interrupted her breakup: "Grandmother, I think the most important thing for us now is to get in the car and go on our way as soon as possible. Our Xu family will be delayed, but the will of the saint must not be delayed."

What Xu Qingluo said was not polite at all, but Mrs. Xu shut up honestly.

Mrs. Xu couldn't wait to worship the existence of the saint.

There were already a bunch of people waiting at the gate of the city, and Xu Qingluo saw Young Master Yan at a glance. He was really handsome and handsome. He stood out from the crowd and was extremely handsome.

Gong Ziyan obviously saw her too, and smiled and nodded at Xu Qingluo, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Xu Qingluo's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

She guessed [-]% of the imperial decree was the sage that Gong Ziyan said would rest in Wuzhou City during the southern tour, but judging from Gong Ziyan's demeanor at the place where he stayed, thinking about what Gong Ziyan said earlier, it is very likely that he is not returning home.

I just don't know who will take over this hot potato.

"Eunuch Ma, all the rich gentry, famous families and celebrities in Wuzhou City are here."

Xu Qingluo hadn't thought it through yet, but before he recovered, he had already said respectfully to the father-in-law who held his head high and wished he could raise his eyes to the sky.

"Well, it's all here."

Eunuch Ma's voice was a little shrill, and he glanced at the dark place in front of the city gate: "Since they are all here, is the Xu family who moved from Huai County here? Go forward and receive the order."

Xu Qingluo's family was the only Xu family who moved from Huai county. At that moment, including Xu Qingluo, everyone in the Xu family was stunned.
