Tan Qinghu came back very early today, as soon as he entered the courtyard, the two children ran up, hugged the legs, climbed the waist, this eight-foot man's fatigue and troubles disappeared in an instant, laughed and picked up the two little guys, rubbed their little faces with their beard stubble, and a crisp laugh like a silver bell sounded in the yard.

Ye Zi had just made dinner, although her husband was the commander of the Qinghu Guard under Lord Lu's account, most of the salary was used to help several captains in the army who were in difficulty at home, and there was not much left for his own family. But Ye Zi never complained, just worked silently about this family, whenever Tan Qinghu came back, he could always see the children jumping in the courtyard, fragrant meals, and his wife's gentle smile. At this time, the man's face was filled with a satisfied smile, and a pair of eyes looked at his wife and children, and the affection was almost indissolvable.

Today, Tan Qinghu just received a report from Dingbian, saying that he was the special envoy of Fallen Leaf City, and Lord Jun Jian of Dingbian County would come to investigate the case in person, and he would arrive tomorrow. Somehow, Tan Qinghu's heart couldn't be steady, and he jumped hard all afternoon. Now that he has come back to see his wife and children, Tan Qinghu told himself in his heart that whatever he paid for them was worth it.

Just after the hour, Jian Qiushan and his party had already crossed the Shenbi Peak, and twenty miles ahead was Guiliu City. Jian Qiushan straightened his clothes, looked back behind him, Li Qing and Mantou followed closely in strong suits, and Pei Baifa led five hundred flying tigers to ride bright armor, lined up, standing there quietly, without a sound. Jian Qiushan nodded with satisfaction, today it was the first time he led his troops to a different place to handle a case, and it was still Jian Feng's sphere of influence, and the prestige of the imperial court was absolutely indispensable.

Lu Xuanran received an official letter from Fallen Leaf City two days ago, knowing that Jian Qiushan would arrive today. Although Jian Qiushan is just a small county order, after all, it represents the imperial court and is indispensable in etiquette. Early in the morning, Lu Xuanran took the officials of Guiliu City out of the city to greet him.

From the time of the hour to the time of the hour, Wei Chen and Ye Jiong had been standing for an hour, and the two men in the rivers and lakes had already been a little impatient, but seeing that their city lord was still standing in front of him like a sword, he had to endure it according to his temperament, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

In the distance, a puff of smoke and dust rose on the official road, and the rumbling hooves hit the hearts of the officials in front of the city gate like thunder on the horizon, making these people who only knew that there were sects on weekdays, not only the imperial court, trembled a little. With the sound of thunder, a dark cloud rose at the end of the official road, and the dark cloud rolled up a violent wind, roaring, and approached in an instant. Suddenly, the dust disappeared, and the black-pressed cavalry stood solemnly in front of everyone.

With a wave of the big sword in the hand of the first member of the Qingjia General, the five hundred elite horsemen silently parted to the two sides, and the five of them slowly moved forward.

Lu Xuanran did not move, but there were waves in his heart, since Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the imperial court has been strong, although there are many suppressions on the sect, but the country is getting stronger, and the people's lives are becoming more and more stable, but it is also an indisputable fact. Today, the county order of a small county in Dingbian has such a majesty, Lu Xuanran is not only not angry, but he is a little proud in his heart, after all, Jianfeng is also a part of Tianlong. It's just that today after all, he represents the sect, and it's not good to be too easy-going, and he is also the lord of a city appointed by the imperial court, so he is still riding on a horse and has not stepped forward to greet him.

Jian Qiushan rode forward, seeing that the other party did not say a word, and stopped when he was still a few feet away from the other party, the two looked at each other quietly, the whole world was silent, and time seemed to have stopped.

Lu Xuanran looked at the white-faced scholar in front of him, and secretly praised in his heart, sure enough, he was a tiger father without a dog, with his own cultivation, he could stand in front of him for a long time, and he was still calm and relaxed, and he couldn't find a second one in the entire Guiliu City. A few days ago, Jian Dashou went straight to Jianfeng to find Jun Wuyi, although no one saw the two fighting, but since Jian Dashou left, Jun Wuyi couldn't go out, so it can be seen that he didn't get a good deal from Jian Dashou. Although Lu Xuanran did not have a good impression of Jun Wuyi, he was also a member of the Eight Swords of Sword Peak, and he was inevitably a little resentful in his heart. Originally, I had the intention of comparing today, but when I saw Jian Qiushan so calm, I couldn't help but secretly admire in my heart. Turning his head to look at the side, a man in Tsing Yi stepped out of the crowd, walked into the middle of the field, and gave Jian Qiushan a salute.

"Although the lord of my city is in the return stream, but the adult god has been friends for a long time, in recent years, Dingbian has become more and more prosperous under the rule of the adult, and the people live a peaceful life, and the lord of my family often praises the adult and young heroes, the pillars of the country. Two days ago, I received a document from Jian Shuai, knowing that my lord would come today, my city lord was very happy, and today he specially led the mansion to greet him. The lord of my family has prepared a thin wine in the Sword Garden to wash the dust for the adults, and I also ask the adults to move. The man in Tsing Yi was very sincere in his words and very respectful. After that, he bowed to the side and stood still.

Jian Qiushan was still silent, and a middle-aged man in a blue shirt walked out beside him. The man took the book in his hand, walked past the man in Tsing Yi, and walked straight towards Lu Xuanran.

Tan Qinghu was standing beside Lu Xuanran, he had heard that this young talent of Master Jian had already heard that he wanted to see and understand today, this case was related to the lives of his wife and children, and he had to think about it carefully. Unexpectedly, when they met, this young man had a calm demeanor and a majestic demeanor, not like a young man in his early twenties, but like a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart. At this time, I saw the man next to Jian Qiushan walking towards the city lord, and without thinking about it, he drew his sword and protected Lu Xuanran.

Lu Xuanran was about to step forward to say a few words to Jian Qiushan, but he didn't want this young man to be silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing a man in a blue shirt holding a book and wanting to come by himself, he was wondering in his heart, and Tan Qinghu next to him had already flashed in front of him.

Lu Xuanran was shocked in his heart, what kind of occasion is today? Tan Qinghu, as the leader of the Qinghu Guard, said that it was for the sake of his own safety, but at this moment, it was extremely inappropriate to draw his sword and face each other, ordinary Qinghu was calm and capable, how could he be so frizzy today? At that moment, he coughed heavily, flashed past Tan Qinghu, and was already standing in front of the man in the blue shirt.

The man in the blue shirt saw an eight-foot man standing with his sword drawn, but his steps did not slow down a step, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and the next moment there was an elegant man in a white robe.

Lu Xuanran looked at the man in front of him, and was shocked in his heart, just now Qinghu drew his sword and faced each other, and he appeared so suddenly, but the man in front of him was not surprised at all, and his expression on his face did not change, as if all this had been expected. If such a character fell on Jian Dashou's side, now he is following Jian Qiushan, which shows that the father and son of the Jian family are not simple.

"Lu Zhi, the head of Dingbian County, here is Bai Zhan's information, before my family came, I specially instructed my subordinates not to prepare Bai Zhan's information in detail and hand it over to the city lord, so that it will be helpful to investigate the case. Because he didn't know the identity of that gentleman, he came directly to find the city lord, and he hoped that the city lord would forgive him for the abruptness. Lu Zhi bowed slightly and handed the book in his hand to Lu Xuanran, calling Bai Zhan's name between words, but did not mention the word suspect. Lu Xuanran understood that this was to show Jian Qiushan's attitude, there were still many strange things in this case, and there were still doubts about whether Bai Zhan was a suspect. Lu Xuanran didn't care about this case originally, but it was just an ordinary robbery, in this area, how many cases didn't happen in any year? Now it seems that Jian Qiushan obviously attaches great importance to this case, not only did he come in person, but he even mentioned the matter in public without even entering the city, obviously worried that he was being false and wronged, which was forcing himself to express his position in public.

Lu Xuanran was a little annoyed in his heart, it seemed that the other party didn't believe in Guiliucheng, but after thinking about it, he was above board and worthy of admiration, and the other party was also trying to investigate the case, and every move was in the open, which was also considered to be upright, and he was a little stingy about what he was thinking about.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuanran laughed and greeted Jian Qiushan: "Master Jian is thoughtful and dedicated to the public, and he admires Lu Mou deeply." In this case, those red tapes will be waived, how about we go directly to the yafu to discuss the situation?"

Jian Qiushan was originally impatient to socialize, but in the past two days, he listened to Bai Zhan's story, this matter was very strange, many joints had not been identified, and Guiliucheng sent a document to arrest Bai Zhan, which made Jian Qiushan suspicious. Coming today, Jian Qiuyamahara was ready to directly pick out his attitude, so that the relevant people in Guiliu City could not avoid it. Now that he heard Lu Xuanran take the initiative to ask for the proposal, he was in the middle of it, nodded at the moment, followed Lu Xuanran, and walked all the way to the city.

Tan Qinghu froze in place, secretly blaming himself in his heart for being so out of shape? Next to him, Ye Jiong and Wei Chen thought that this old fellow had been snubbed by the city lord, and they were unhappy, so they came up together to comfort him. Tan Qinghu dealt with it with a strong spirit, and followed Lu Xuanran to the city with the two.

The Guiliu City Government is located on the most prosperous Xinglong Street in the city, with blue bricks and blue tiles, high walls and wide gates, which is very magnificent. Jian Qiushan and Lu Xuanran talked and laughed all the way, as if the tense contest and temptation in front of the city gate happened to others.

Looking at the government in the distance, Jian Qiushan's heart was not calm, since the founding of Tianlong, the imperial court has worked hard to rest with the people. Emperor Wu even issued an edict that all ministries, departments, and county offices should strive to be frugal, and should not consume people's resources in large houses. Whether it is the fixed side or the fallen leaves, or even the Linzhao where Zhou Shuai lives, the government is very simple, how can it be as magnificent as the government office in Guiliu City? It seems that it is not unreasonable for Emperor Wu to be determined to regulate the sect in recent years.

Lu Xuanran glanced at the young man beside him looking at his mansion with a strange expression, and said that he was shocked by the majesty and magnificence of the mansion, and thought to himself How many generations has Jian Feng led Qingshan? Where is the foundation and accumulation that you people in the court can imagine? Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. His face was even more enthusiastic, and he led him all the way into the mansion.

After passing through the cloister and pond, and walking through the scene of half a pillar of incense, everyone entered a lobby. Although the weather has warmed up, the charcoal fire in the two huge bronze beast furnaces in this hall is still burning, and the hall within a radius of several feet is warm. At this moment, there are more than ten mahogany tables and chairs on this spacious lobby, which looks simple and atmospheric, and the fragrant tea on several cases is steaming, and the fragrance of tea in the house will make people intoxicated.

Lu Xuanran was courteous and sat down with everyone one by one. beckoned the man in Tsing Yi to come and take the case file and discuss it with everyone.
