The closer you get to the end of the year, the stronger the flavor of the year becomes.

Not only is there a lot of people in Shuilan City, but the hot spring inn is also lively.

Originally, the owner and wife of Ye Zhuang who were going to come, because the child was infected with the cold, and Mrs. Ye Lao Zhuang was also sick, so they didn't come to the inn, and only sent someone to send a New Year's gift, but when they left, the grandmother who came to give the gift also took Li Qianqian's hand and said a good word to her.

As soon as the people from Badao Villa left, the people from Yayuan Villa and Jiuhu Villa also arrived, as well as the homes of Li Lingxi's disciples and grandchildren, and they also sent people to send New Year's gifts.

Seeing that they were in good spirits, the little two couldn't help but ask. "Guys, where did you come here?"

"We came straight from the farm. The man who spoke paused, "But yesterday I rested early in the town at the foot of your inn mountain. ”

"Huh, so do we. ”

Hahaha, a group of men leaned together and laughed, and the juniors were very curious! "You didn't enter Shuilan City?" Generally speaking, those who go to the vicinity of Shuilan City to give New Year's gifts will take the opportunity to go into the city to take a look, why didn't these people enter the city? They also rested in the town at the foot of the mountain early.

"Nope. No. "The men who came to the two villas to give gifts were all dressed in strong costumes and looked energetic.

"When we passed through that town yesterday, we heard that a prisoner had died violently in the prison of the prefect's yamen, so the prefect ordered that no one should be allowed to enter or leave, lest the perpetrators take the opportunity to escape from the city. ”

The other men nodded one after another, "But it's strange to say, shouldn't this prison of the prefect's yamen be heavily guarded?

"Was it killed?" asked a timid young man, shuddering.

Several men looked at his cowardice and were quite sympathetic, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I heard that the perpetrator pretended to be a jailer and sneaked into the prison, and then took the opportunity to poison the food." ”

"Actually, I said! The prefect's response was too slow! How long did it take from the time he discovered that the prisoner died violently to the time he sealed the city? If that person really did this, I am afraid that he would have escaped before he discovered that the prisoner had died violently! After that, sealing the city gate would only be a remedy!"

"Yo, Hachi, you actually said a few idioms?"

"Oh, really! Oh, it's true!"

The young owners of their two villas are good friends, and they even have a good relationship with their subordinates, and the little two people moved the New Year's gifts they gave off the car, and the steward came to arrange for them to stay, and assigned one person to lead their leaders to see Li Qianqian.

After they left with the steward, the timid little second changed his previous timidity like a mouse, and explained to the other companions, so he made a light effort and went in to report to Li Qianqian first.

After Li Qianqian listened to his return, he asked Liu Er to take him down to give a reward, and then asked the steward to lead the people from Jiuhu Villa and Yayuan Villa to come in to see her.

Mother Ye took advantage of the fact that they hadn't come in yet, and leaned into Li Qianqian's ear first, "These New Year's gifts don't seem to have been prepared by the stewards of the villa. ”

"Oh?"

"There are a lot of rulers in these gifts, and they are all famous products. Mother Ye didn't elaborate on them one by one, there was too late time, and Li Qianqian didn't know much about these fabrics, so Mother Ye only said that, and said, "This year's gift is three percent heavier than last year." ”

"Oh?" Li Qianqian asked, raising an eyebrow.

Mother Ye bowed her jaw, "Maybe it's because of the hot spring inn?"

Li Qianqian nodded, when the hot spring inn raised funds, these two young owners also participated, not much, but even if it was not much, they also got a lot of dividends.

"Their master didn't come. Li Qianqian said.

Mother Ye frowned when she heard this, "Fortunately, I didn't come." The two young owners seemed to be interested in her family master, but probably because both parties were interested, they didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that things would not work out and damage the brotherly relationship.

"They're not young anymore, maybe they're all married!" Li smiled lightly, and Mother Ye glanced at her with a smile, "It would be nice if that was the case." ”

The steward led people in, and after Li Qianqian was polite to them, the grandmother of Yayuan Villa took out a wedding card from her arms and said, "After the beginning of spring, the young owner of our family will get married, and when the time comes, please also ask the leader of the Li sect to be sure to come in person." ”

"This ...... I'm still in the filial piety period, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to attend, so I'll let people give gifts to me when the time comes, and ask Mama to help me talk to your lord. ”

The grandmother's face did not change, and she snorted, "I'm really sorry, the little one forgot about it." I also ask for your forgiveness. ”

"Nothing. Mama doesn't have to worry about it. ”

And the grandmother of Jiuhu Villa smiled and played a round, it seems that these two personal friends are also good, and when they see the wedding card, they know that the young owner of Yayuan Villa is married to the younger sister of the young owner of Jiuhu Villa.

After the steward led the two grandmothers to retreat, Liu Er happened to pass by them, and Li Qianqian saw that he was holding an invitation in his hand, and couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Liu Er stepped forward and handed it to her, "This was sent by the Governor Wang just now." ”

"Doesn't he know that I'm keeping filial piety, why do you give me a post?" Li Qianqian looked at him unreasonably.

Liu Er glanced at Mother Ye, Mother Ye knew the opportunity to retire, Liu Er waited for Mother Ye to leave, and then whispered to Li Qianqian, "The person who came to deliver the post was a confidant of the Wang Governor's Mansion, and he said that there was something important to discuss with you." ”

Li Qian pursed his lips and looked at him for a long time, before he said, "Okay! ”

Liu Er thought for a moment and said, "I think he is probably from the prefect of the king and came to talk to you about Jinnu'er." ”

Who is Jin Nu'er? Li Qianqian was a little dazed, Liu Er hurriedly explained to her, Li Qianqian understood, "Oh, is that the real Jiang family's eldest lady?"

"Yes. Liu Er paused and said, "Governor Wang's mansion can solve the identity problem for her, but her future life will still have to be supported by the Jiang family." ”

Li Qianqian nodded, although it was said that Jin Nuer had taken refuge in the Wang Governor's Mansion, but the Wang Governor's Mansion only needed Jin Nu'er's assistance in the case of the murder between Old Lady Jiang and Boss Jin, and in return, he was Jin Nu'er's new identity, but he was not responsible for raising her for a lifetime.

Although the prefect of the Wang Mansion sympathized with her, Jin Nu'er grew up in the Qinglou since she was a child, and she didn't know what the life of a normal family outside was like, and it was impossible to send her back if she was taken out of prison, so it was necessary to arrange a place for her to live.

If the prefect of the Wang Mansion knew that he was renting a small courtyard outside and living for a young girl, he would definitely want the Hedong lion to roar, and by doing so, it would be easy for people to find out the clues, and then guess the true identity of Jin Nu'er.

In this way, his good intentions will not be in vain?

As for why he didn't go directly to Master Jiang? He had already let her cheat to death, and if he went to find Master Jiang to arrange for her, wouldn't it expose Jin Nu'er's identity!

Wang Zhifu thought about it, and finally thought of Li Qianqian, first of all, she lived in a hot spring inn outside the city, the hot spring inn covers a vast area, and if you want to hide a person in it, it must not be easy to be discovered, besides, Li Qianqian and the Jiang family are relatives, and she has many properties under her name, and when the case is closed, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a job for Jin Nuer, right?

Governor Wang thought so very self-righteously, and didn't think about whether Li Qianqian would reject him at all.

After all, in his heart, he only remembered the identity of Li Qianqianli's sect leader, and completely ignored who her father was, who her brother was, and her father and brother were very favored, and he didn't see that even the family was still in the filial piety period, so the emperor directly sent their father and son to lead the troops to guard the border pass.

Therefore, when the staff heard Li Qianqian's refusal, they couldn't react for a while, which was unreasonable! Why would Sect Master Li refuse him?

"This, Sect Master Li, this golden girl is your own cousin, don't you want to help her?"

Li Qianqian held his cheeks and looked at the staff member for a while before he said, "Mr. Wang, you are on an errand in Shuilan City, haven't you heard some rumors about me?"

"Uh......" Naturally, he had heard it, but he thought that Sect Master Li was a young girl, and he was the most soft-hearted, knowing that Jin Nuer was treated like this by his own grandfather, he would definitely sympathize with her, as long as he mentioned it, she should be able to accept it silently.

I didn't expect this Li Sect Master to be a ruthless person?

"The Jiang family is calculating me, calculating my father and my brothers, why do you want me to sympathize with the people of his family? Besides, the reason why Jin Nu'er is in trouble is not because I hurt her, why do you want me to help her with my heart and lungs? Just because her surname is Jiang? is the niece and granddaughter of my good grandmother?"

Wang's staff only remembered at this time that the Li sect leader in front of him, her father was cleaned out of the house by his mother-in-law, and the young husband and wife worked hard to build a family business, and their mother-in-law was behind their backs, forcing them to live in Nancheng, so they had to move to a small mountain village.

Later, the father and son were pushed out by their mother-in-law, and the father and son of Master Li and the second master of Li were conscripted, and there was no news at all, and the third young master of the Li family who was just found was sold by Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li also did the nonsense of demoting his wife to a concubine, for her nephew Xiao Jiang.

A few months after her death, it was rumored that the old lady had paired the children of the third room with her nephews and nieces before she died, but everyone didn't believe much in this rumor, because the third room of the Li family had already been separated by her, and before she died, she didn't think about her beloved second son, but spent her time on the lifelong events of the children of the third room?

Also, the two sons and one daughter of the Li family said that they have names and surnames, but what about the Jiang family? Who is engaged to the same house and which child? Why is it not explicitly stated?

In addition, there were only two happy events in the Jiang family before, and one of them was not the right couple! Later, the woman also made a joke about passing on the heir to someone before she successfully entered the door.

The face of the king's staff was tight, and he was so red that he was about to drip blood, which was ashamed.

Both adults and him are too self-righteous!

Li Qianqian said again, "Besides, the prefect knew who Jin Nu'er's biological parents were, why did he act rashly without consulting them in advance? They are Jin Nu'er's parents after all! For her, they can only cherish her, and they will definitely make the best arrangements for their daughter, so there is no need for the prefect to be sad, right?"

Wang's staff laughed, a little embarrassed, because the prefect had indeed mentioned it before, and he wanted to talk to Master Jiang first, but he trusted him to persuade the prefect to come back.

If in the end, they all have to ask the Li sect leader for help, the latter is that the Jiang family owes Li Qianqian's favor, not his family's lord, but the former is the prefect's lord owes the Li sect's master's favor, and the difference is not small!

Wang's staff knew at this time that he had made the stupidest decision, Li Qianqian glanced at him and said, "I know that the prefect doesn't want Jin Nu'er's identity to be exposed, so I don't want to talk to Mr. Jiang and his wife directly, it doesn't matter, if the prefect is willing, I can ask my eldest uncle to pull the strings." ”

There is an advantage to doing this, the prefect of the Wang Mansion does not have to owe Li Qianqian a favor, but Master Jiang owes him an adult, and at the same time, he can also get acquainted with Master Li, who is in Shuilan City, and his reputation has not been weak recently, but the most important point is that he does not have to have any dealings with Li Qianqian, a person from the rivers and lakes, and there will be no political enemies who use this as his sore foot to deal with him.

Wang's staff felt that what Li Qianqian said was the best plan, but he had already learned a lesson, and he didn't dare to make a rash decision, "I have to go back and discuss with the adults before I can reply to Sect Master Li." ”

"Done, but quickly, I think, you probably won't be able to hide the golden slave for too long, right?"

Wang's staff smiled bitterly, "Yes." ”

In fact, he had already brought Jin Nu'er, and he thought that Li Qianqian would agree, but he didn't want people to refuse, he didn't have the face to force people to stay.

Jin Nuer sat in the carriage, quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, what she saw was the square in front of the inn where people came and went, and the guests came and went by their own carriages, she looked curiously, suddenly, she hurriedly lowered the curtain, raised her hand to cover her chest, and her heart was beating violently.

How could that person be here? Could it be that the people sent by the king didn't catch him?

The maid who was sent by the prefect of the king to wait for her saw that she was different, and quietly reached out to lift the curtain, and saw that there was a lot of traffic outside, and the people who came and went should be servants, and the masters had already gotten off the car at the door and entered the inn, so what did Miss Jin see before she was panicked?

Since the maid was sent by the prefect of the king, she knew the identity and origin of Jin Nu'er, so she quietly poured a cup for her.

"Don't worry, girl, Mr. Wang will come over in a while, and you should be able to arrange for the girl to live in." ”

"Hmm. ”

Just didn't want to, Mr. Wang came back, but he didn't arrange for her to live in, but took her original car back to Shuilan City.

Jin Nu'er was even more panicked, and her originally white little face was now as white as a piece of paper.

"Don't worry, I'll ask Mr. Wang. ”

The maid lifted the curtain and signaled the driver to slow down, so that she could get out of the car.

When she got out of the car, she went to the car of the Wang staff, and when the Wang staff saw her coming, they didn't hide it from her, and the maid didn't understand, "Didn't you say that this Li sect leader is young and easy to coax?"

"It's young, it looks younger, it's just ......" he didn't want to talk to the maid about his wrong decision, "People are worthy of being the master of the first sect, and everything is thought about for the adults." ”

The maid listened curiously and wanted to get to the bottom of it, but the king's staff didn't want to go into details, so she just said, "You go back and appease that person!"

"Got it. ”

The maid pouted and wanted to get out of the car, but turned back and told him what had just happened, and the king's staff was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you know who she saw?"

"I don't know, but she's probably afraid of that person, right?

Staff Wang touched his chin for a while before he said, "Maybe it's her guest in the Huamanlou?"

"She's not a flower girl, she can't do anything more than a handyman, the guest who came. The maid corrected the king's staff with some displeasure.

The king's staff smiled and apologized, and then said, "Then who will she see?"

"Could it be Boss Kim's men?"

"Maybe. Wang's staff said, "But the adults said, the matter will be found out to Boss Jin, and the rest will be left to the adults of the Criminal Department to worry!"

The maid snorted coldly, but didn't open her mouth to refute, "I'm leaving." ”

Staff Wang watched her get out of the car, and then got into the carriage in front of Jin Nu'er, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that the reason why Boss Jin was able to subdue Hua Manlou was because he had found more than a dozen men to deal with a flower girl who dared to contradict her.

If it was those people that Jinnuer had just seen, then she would be so scared, and it was a matter of course!

You must know that the current Jin Nuer, but after revealing the bottom of Boss Jin, Boss Jin probably didn't expect that Jin Nuer, who has been neglected and treated by himself, actually knows all her secrets, including that she is a person from Prince Jing's Mansion, and Jin Nuer also knows everything.

Even the names and addresses of her subordinates were all sold to the prefect of the king, and the prefect sent people to arrest these people, but I don't know if they were caught?

Among them, there are no fish that have slipped through the net, and it is so coincidental that they appear in the hot spring inn?
