Lin Xu's letter, the lord of Hongchen Hall, almost broke his leg, and he didn't care about the messy things of the Qi family at all, so he hurriedly went down to Yushan.

When I returned to the county lord's mansion, I got a thick pile of letters.

Hongchen took it out and read it at a glance, and then read it carefully, looking at it with a lot of confusion.

is telling a story inside, about the relationship between the seventh son of the Lin family, that is, Xiao Mo and today's King Li.

When the two first met, they hated each other, but then they slowly got better.

"The husband is not virtuous, wise and foolish, brave and cowardly, but it can be broken and closed; It is possible to advance, but it is possible to retreat; It is cheap, it is precious, and it is ...... to do nothing."

Hongchen smiled, looking at Lin Xu in his heart saying this kind of thing in the tone of Mr. Guigu, to the point that he felt vivid, it was the old gentleman's serious tone.

This is what Mr. Guigu said when he taught Xiao Mo, so that he could learn to look at people, use people, and learn to judge.

Xiao Mo must have done so, so even if King Li was so immature back then, he could see the benefits in this person.

Why?

Hongchen was silent, why did everything happen back then, is there anything else that can make the current Nine Emperors, the beloved prince, ignore the country and the people of Li, frame Zhongliang, and make the Great Zhou defeated and suffered heavy losses.

Many people say that the Nine Emperors of the year and the current King Li are like two people. It's a world of difference.

In the past, the Nine Emperors were proud and naïve, they were the proud sons of the heavens, and they competed with the descendants of the Lin family, which was also above board, and treated their subordinates very well, and when they interacted with those ministers, although they were sometimes impatient, they were also very well-behaved, and now, he is becoming more and more independent. A domineering prince of the lowest rank in the world. His hands were stained with blood, and under the rule of military law, he was very strict and had no friends. Even in the palace. and did not give him a good look.

Hongchen shook his head. Then he laughed, that Li Wang, is he loyal or treacherous. You can always know.

Xiao Mo doesn't have to worry too much about what he thinks in his heart, but one day, he must figure out these causes and effects.

After calming down, Hongchen continued to read the letter, and after the miscellaneous chats in the front, Lin Xu mentioned lightly, Xiaohe passed through Qingquan Town, and tasted the wine brewed by the spring water there, which was one grade higher than Hongchen's wine.

Hongchen frowned slightly.

That's not right.

Xiaohe doesn't drink alcohol, except for some fruit wine brewed by Hongchen himself, he doesn't stick to the wine, and when he follows Lin Xu outside, let alone the wine, he doesn't even drink a sip of tea.

"Luo Niang."

"Huh?"

“…… It's nothing. ”

Hongchen hesitated, got up and changed his clothes, "Let's go to Wang Banxian's trip." ”

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were a little surprised, but they still didn't ask anything, simply cleaned up, changed into ordinary clothes, and went to the street with Hongchen.

According to the usual practice, he first went to the two heavens of ice and fire to turn around, and then entered Wang Banxian's shop. Wang Banxian is terrible now, the business is so good that the guests have to be numbered, and even queued up for next year, this is still Hongchen's idea, let Wang Banxian carry it forward, and the effect is not too good.

"Ouch, I said how did I hear the magpie cry today, it turned out that your boss was here, please come in quickly."

Wang Banxian was crooked on the fairy chair, and when he saw Hongchen, he hurriedly got up and drove away the little apprentice and personally made her a cup of tea.

The tea is still sent by Hongchen.

"Okay, don't be busy, I'll ask you to do something for me."

Wang Banxian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "That's absolutely no problem, our county lord will speak, don't say one thing, I'll do ten things." ”

After speaking, he smiled again, "But Niangniang, look at me, I'm an old man, this age, it's okay for you to let me run errands, if I am asked to do something earth-shattering, the little old man is really out of his power." ”

Hongchen: "......"

This guy is really cowardly.

Wang Banxian is not afraid of losing face, he has been dealing with Hongchen for a long time, and after watching the things Hongchen do over the years, everything makes people feel cold when they think about it, Hongchen doesn't take it seriously, he doesn't dare to mix it.

Eat as many bowls of rice as you can, and save yourself from choking!

Hongchen shook his head: "Don't worry, it's not difficult, it's what you often did back then." She pondered for a moment, looked at the left and right people, and said in a low voice, "I want you to think of a way, so that the vicinity of Qingquan Village, not that village, just a little closer, give me something, you need Wang Banxian to solve the problem." ”

After a pause, he said, "If you don't see a trace, the speed can't be slow, you have to be faster, as soon as possible." ”

Wang Banxian suddenly understood.

"It's simple, don't worry, county lord."

Isn't it just to make a bureau, it couldn't be simpler, in the early years, when he was in the limelight, he really often relied on doing the bureau to eat, and it was not easy to do the bureau, you had to have the capital, there was time, not everyone who did this business could afford it.

Wang Banxian knew the rules, and he didn't ask Hongchen why he did this, so he sent Hongchen away and began to ponder.

It's easy to do the game, but if you want to be fast and have no traces, it will take some effort, but for such a small matter, he doesn't dare to mess it up and make the county lord angry.

The so-called art industry has a specialization, throw things to professionals, Hongchen is also relieved, go out and take a deep breath, relax, but she is not in a hurry to go back, she used to just come out, most of the time she was wandering and shopping, and she couldn't go back until the sun set, and this time it was the same.

As the sky darkens, the streets become lively, with the shouts of hawkers coming and going, and the small objects in the area attract idle passers-by.

If you don't bring something back when you go shopping, you always feel like something is missing, so Luo Niang simply chose a few gadgets, what cricket cages, small and delicate bamboo baskets, fans, wooden bracelets and the like.

"Stop, don't go, what's the matter with you! If you break someone else's things and want to leave, how can there be such a good thing! ”

"Let go. If you move your hands and feet, be careful, I'll beat you, and I won't inquire, this ...... Ahem, Ben ...... Who is Childe? When I was messing around the streets, you kid didn't know that there was a cat in the crack, and you were playing this trick on my turf, who were you fooling! ”

The voice of the man in the back was a little familiar.

Hongchen looked up, and sure enough, he had seen a few times, this person was Gao Shiqi, the son of the Hou Shizi of Nanyang, and Fang Zhi of the Xia family. Miss Fang has the one with the white head.

But. It's a strange tone.

Gao Shiqi is a well-known honest man in the Beijing circle, with a simple temperament, don't look at a face like a good woman, but he is clumsy. The only thing out of the ordinary. It's love at first sight when the other party knows it. Goodbye love, haunted by dreams ever since, never let go.

That little bit of a story between two people. No one in the whole capital doesn't know, Fang knows that an orphan girl can be loved by the prince of the Hou Mansion, and I don't know how many daughters have daydreamed about it.

Hongchen thought of Fang Zhi, his heart became a little softer, and he quietly walked over to see the situation.

Fang Zhi is a child of the Xia family, but he is a good person, and he is a good woman, he is brave and courageous, Hongchen admires many junior disciples of the Xia family, Fang Zhi is one of them, even if it is for Fang Zhi, it is not good to embarrass her fiancé too much.

There were several people who were clashing in front of them, one of them was Gao Shiqi, the son of Hou Shizi of Nanyang, and the other was very handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although his skin was slightly dark, but he was also black and symmetrical, and he was standing behind him with his shoulders hugged.

The one who was arguing with Gao Shiqi was a woman, dressed in rivers and lakes, with a dark blue dress, although it was not ugly, it was obviously made more close-fitting for the convenience of action, which did not quite match the aesthetics of the aristocratic ladies in Beijing.

The woman raised her eyebrows angrily, glared at Gao Shiqi, and said angrily: "Who are you?" The king of heaven is not successful, report a name, be louder, let everyone listen, I want to see if there is no king law in the capital, and if you break something, you will not be compensated! ”

Gao Shiqi was stunned, obviously a little overwhelmed, his eyes showed a little dullness, a little difficulty, and murmured: "...... Why doesn't it work, what Senior Brother Shifeng said last time, isn't it used in this situation now? ”

His voice is not low, and others can hear it, but others don't know him, so naturally they don't know what kind of mistake he makes, but Hongchen and Luo Niang laughed out loud.

Although he has only met a few times in public, the temperament of this Nanyang Hou Shizi is really cute.

Among the nobles in the capital, he is the only one.

In just a moment, the whole scene was chaotic, Gao Shiqi was smiling, his face was red, the momentum just now had disappeared, and he could only blush and whisper: "You are a piece of inferior green jade, five taels of silver are not worth it, the carving is not good, it is a little rough, you want three thousand taels, it is definitely a slander." ”

"What kind of slander, nonsense, do you understand it or not, I just got the baby, if it is not broken now, there is no way, otherwise don't say three thousand taels, five thousand taels, you see if I sell it, hum, this is the capital, our brothers and sisters don't want to cause trouble, if it is changed to the south, I have to let you know that it is powerful!"

The woman was impatient and stomped her feet angrily.

The people around listened to this call, and they all felt that the brother and sister were indeed slanderous, and in a scattered wooden box on the ground, it contained a strange jade ornament, and I couldn't see what it was, it was particularly twisted, as if there were many snakes, and there was a strange person, and this thing didn't feel good at all.

"Three thousand taels, is it?"

Hongchen suddenly stepped forward and smiled slightly, "Don't make any noise, why don't you let me pick up a bargain and buy your jade for three thousand taels of silver?" ”

The brother and sister were stunned and narrowed their eyes.

Nanyang Hou, the son of Gao Shiqi, was taken aback, turned his head and saw that it was Hongchen, and was dumbfounded: "County, county, county......"

Luo Niang smiled: "I've seen my son, our young lady is very handsome, so I don't need you to say it, so as not to make Miss Fang Zhifang jealous." ”

Gao Shiqi suddenly blushed, and said, "This thing is worthless." ”

"Our lady said it's worth it, and it's definitely worth it."

The pair of brothers and sisters looked at each other, looked Hongchen up and down, and the elder brother said lightly: "You want it?" ”

Hongchen smiled and nodded: "Please also ask the virtuous brothers and sisters to cut their love." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment and said: "We don't cheat people, although it is valuable, but it is only because it has a good origin, it has been handed down for a hundred years, and no one can study the clues, and now it is broken again, and it can be said that it is worthless." This man is the culprit, and he should pay for it, but we can't let others suffer. ”

Hongchen was stunned, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "I really wanted to pick up this bargain, but the virtuous brothers and sisters are so generous, I can't take advantage of this benefit." ”

The two men were confused.

Hongchen squatted down, picked up the wooden box, put it in Luo Niang's hand, and picked up the fragments from one place and put it in.

She looked. Thoughtfully. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly moved all the pieces together very lightly, quickly and dexterously, with her movements. The two siblings were unimpressed at first. Later, he stared intently. The face is incredible.

I saw that all the broken jade was attached together, but it was no longer that awkward look, but the appearance of a giant snake. The face is human-like, with nine heads, but the body is the body of a snake, which makes people feel wireless coercion at a glance.

The red dust is put together and gently brushed over it with your hand.

The next moment, there was a rumble in everyone's ears, and it was dark in front of them, as if they saw the overwhelming huge waves, rolling in, and seeing countless people wailing and screaming, the two brothers and sisters felt the deepest, took several steps back, covered their ears and palpitated.

Hongchen hooked the corners of his lips and said softly: "Lock!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the jade remained in the wooden box as usual, and there were countless cracks and scars on its body, and the power just now no longer existed.

The two siblings couldn't help but look up at her, their eyes showing intense shock.

Gao Shiqi was also startled, then came back to his senses and said hesitantly: "...... Is it really worth the money? ”

"Anyway, three thousand taels of silver is definitely a price that you can't lose money anymore."

Hongchen said with a smile.

Gao Shiqi's face turned red all of a sudden, "I, I went home to get the money, and I didn't bring that much with me." ”

Nonsense, no one will be idle and go shopping with a huge amount of money.

The two brothers and sisters refused to ask for any money at this time, looking at the wooden box, their hearts were worried, and the man who didn't talk much said softly: "Miss, what is this?" ”

"You don't know?"

Hongchen raised his eyebrows.

The woman coughed: "I also heard the elders mention a few words, saying that this is a very important thing, with great power, but I can't see it at all, many years have passed, this thing is just an ornament, no use at all, and in the end it was only rumored at the time." I didn't expect it to look like this."

Hongchen smiled: "This is a town thing, a very powerful town thing, but it has always been sealed, so you can only see a distorted appearance when you look at it, and now it is still locked, if it is not locked, maybe something will happen that we don't want to see, of course, it does have great power, you can take it back and return it to your elders." ”

The two brothers and sisters pondered for a moment, thanked them and accepted the box, looked back at Gao Shiqi, and the woman said: "Speaking of which, thanks to you breaking it, it can be restored to its original appearance, and it is intact, so naturally there is no need for compensation, so forget it." ”

Gao Shiqi hurriedly thanked him with a red face.

The man wanted to talk and stopped, but Hongchen didn't want to say more, the two sides were very strangers, and they were not friends, so they naturally didn't want to ask, but they all made up their minds that they must tell the division commander when they go back, and ask what the use of this thing in their hands is.

Hongchen and Gao Shiqi said a few more words, asked about the current situation, and saw that he had a dreamy face when he mentioned Fang Zhi, thinking that the relationship was still so good, he was assigned a whip.

After walking around the street for a long time, I was also a little tired, and after Gao Shiqi and they left, Luo Niang looked around and found a tea shed nearby to sit down.

After a while, the snacks and tea came up, and when this was placed, Hongchen tasted it, and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Luo Niang smelled the smell of tea and smiled: "Miss, which friend is this who honors you?" ”

In such a place, there would not be any good tea and water, let alone any delicious snacks, but now what is served on the table may not be the top food, but it is the most palatable thing that Hongchen eats on weekdays.

Luo Niang couldn't help but guess, maybe it was Xue Baiqiao Xue Xiaohou, or maybe it was Young Master Jin Qingjin, or it could be which disciple of Tianji came to offer his courtesy?

Hongchen shook his head: "If they want to have this thought, it must be a request, and it must be a very troublesome request, it has been very peaceful recently, it won't be these kids." Eat it, anyway, whether it's a god or a ghost, it will reveal itself. ”

After eating the tea, I saw Shi Feng walking forward from behind and sitting opposite Hongchen.

Hongchen smiled, "It turned out to be the master." ”

Shi Feng sighed.

"Supposedly, I really shouldn't have come to the county lord rashly."

It's really embarrassing in terms of identity.

No matter how he said it, he was also a member of the Xia family, but the county lord of the family, it was clear that he didn't like the Xia family, but if he really wanted to talk about it, the county lord was the young lady of the Xia family.

"Master has something to say, please speak directly."

Hongchen didn't feel embarrassed, even if it was another Xia family, she could be polite.

Speaking of which, except for a fake Miss Xia Chan in the Xia family, no one is really sorry for her, so what if they just stand by and watch? In this world, there are many deceptions between relatives, and the Xia family has no matter how much to deceive her, although she is indifferent, she also gave her education and gave her all the treatment that a Miss Xia family deserves.

In front of her is Shi Feng again, Shi Feng also respected her very much back then, and there was nothing contemptuous.

Shi Feng thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I admired the ability of the county lord just now, and I heard earlier that you used your magic to save the queen's mother, so I wanted to ask you for help." ”

"Please."

Hongchen raised his eyebrows, thinking that this request might be very difficult, and even when it came to the queen's matter, I am afraid it is not an ordinary problem.

Shi Feng hesitated for a moment, exhaled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Last month, I was traveling outside, passing through a small village, and saw someone placing a ghost at home to store ghosts, and the ghost obviously sucked people's yang energy, almost becoming a climate, I was angry and moved to kill, destroyed the ghost, and injured the soul, and later learned that someone had married a ghost wife at home, and the soul that was injured was a warlock's wife. ”

He sighed, "The warlock's means are extremely high, he is full of anger, he can't help me, so he looks for trouble with the local people, and complains for a while, I ...... I don't know what to do. ”
