Lu Yuan looked at her, and saw that she looked cowering, looking extremely frightened, but still bravely stood up to defend his young lady, and said with a smile:

"What the stupid girl said makes sense, Miss Sun, I was too impulsive just now, I'm sorry."

"Lu Gongzi is serious." Sun Shaoqing smiled reluctantly.

Lan'er said in a low voice: "Saying that people are stupid, are you so smart?" ”

Sun Shaoqing glared at her and said, "Master Lu, then I'll go to find Uncle Xu and them, do you want to go to the county seat with me?" ”

"You go first, I still have some things, and we will meet at the gate of the county government later."

"Okay." Sun Shaoqing glanced at the Su family and left with the people.

On the carriage, Miss Sun's face was completely gloomy, and she felt that a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and she smiled at Lan'er beside her:

"Little girl, you just contradicted Lu Gongzi like this, aren't you afraid that he will put you in prison?"

"I saw him so unreasonable, and I scolded him on impulse." Lan'er patted her chest and said with a smile: "And when I see him, I always think of him doing something for Miss You, and I don't feel how terrible it is, if I am in front of Lord County, I will definitely not dare to speak like that." ”

Miss Sun's face turned red, slapped it on the back of her hand, and scolded with a smile:

"What do you mean to be a housekeeper for me, don't mention that matter in the future."

Lan'er felt that Miss was much closer to her, and her heart was full of joy.

After this carriage, the carriage of the Su family also left Huangkou Village, she didn't want to stay with Lu Yuan for a moment, insisted on leaving, Hou Kaishan originally wanted to talk to Lu Yuan, but seeing her like this, he had to say goodbye first.

The carriage drove for a while, and Hou Yue suddenly said, "Sister Su, let's go to the county government to see the excitement." ”

"What's the excitement?" Su Liuying was thinking about something.

Hou Yue exclaimed: "Don't you know? Of course, it's a matter of a lot of money, isn't Miss Sun going to Lu Xianggong for this matter? ”

"I only heard her say what she wanted to save Uncle Xu, I don't know what is going on, you can tell me quickly." Hearing that it was related to Sun Shaoqing, she suddenly became a little more curious.

So Hou Yue briefly told Xu Yun and Chen Qian about it.

Su Liuying shook her head slightly, a little unhappy in her heart: "I didn't expect these two people to invite me over with poems, and there is such a thing behind it." ”

Suddenly, something thought of her heart, and she exclaimed, "Ouch, it's not good, that shameless person is going to hurt people again!" ”

"Sister Su, who do you say wants to harm someone?" Hou Yue was puzzled.

Su Liuying said anxiously: "Of course it's Lu Yuan, let's go to the county government and stop the sister of the Sun family quickly!" ”

Hou Kaishan's brows furrowed slightly: "Miss Su, Lu Xianggong is upright and upright, why do you say this?" ”

Lu Yuan has a great favor to him, if someone else says this, he won't say a word, he will definitely give that person a slap first.

Su Liuying saw that he didn't believe in himself, and said in his heart:

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I can't imagine that shameless person is so good at buying people's hearts."

She didn't want Hou Kaishan to misunderstand herself, so she said softly:

"Brother Hou, I didn't want to mention the past again, but I can't bear to see you being deceived by that wicked man."

"Miss Su, please speak." Hou Kaishan said in a deep voice.

"It's not a secret, I met Lu Yuan three years ago, and he was the Tai Signing Order of Dali Temple on the Six Grades back then." Su Liuying said in a low voice.

Hou Kaishan was secretly a little strange, if Lu Xianggong was a six-rank official three years ago, why did the official get smaller and smaller three years later?

Su Liuying continued: "He pursued me back then, but he was arrogant and domineering, and he loved to bully people the most, and I didn't like it, so I always avoided him. ”

"I have dealt with Lu Xianggong a few times, he is low-key and upright, old-fashioned and warm-hearted, I don't believe he used to be that kind of person!" Su Liuying's words, Hou Kaishan, really couldn't believe it.

Su Liuying complained: "Brother Hou is saying that I am lying to you?" ”

Hou Kaishan scratched his head and said: "I have been with Miss Su for a few days, and I know that the girl is knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and elegant, and she is by no means a person who can talk about it. ”

"Dad, aren't you contradicting yourself?" Hou Yue grinned.

Hou Kaishan felt that his head was not enough, and he had a headache when he thought about it, so he decisively gave him his head when he heard the words, which soothed his emotions.

"Brother Hou, please continue to listen, and then believe it or not, it's up to the eldest brother to decide for himself." Su Liuying said slowly.

"Okay, you say." Hou Kaishan thought to himself that if Lu Yuan was really pretending to be all before, then there was no doubt that he must be a big traitor, after all, he was an old man and would not completely trust a person.

Thinking back to the past, Miss Su sighed and said:

"There was a Zhong Gongzi back then, although he was born poor, but he was very well educated, and I often talked about poetry and Taoism with him. Later, when Lu Yuan learned about it, he sent someone to threaten Zhong Gongzi not to see me, but Zhong Gongzi refused to listen, so he sent someone to break Zhong Gongzi's leg and put him in the prison of Dali Temple on trumped-up charges. Later, I found someone to intercede and saved Zhong Gongzi's life, but Zhong Gongzi left Jinling City after he was released from prison and never saw me again. ”

Hou Kaishan's mouth opened wide, he couldn't believe that this was what Lu Yuan did.

But if this thing is fake, it means that Su Liuying is deceiving people, but she is neither such a person, nor has she had the motive to harm Lu Yuan!

Could it be that Lu Yuan is really this kind of person, and everything before is his disguise? Thinking of this, Hou Kaishan shuddered.

"Miss Su, do you mean that Lu Yuan intends to harm Miss Sun?" Hou Kaishan asked in a deep voice.

"Very likely."

Hou Kaishan was puzzled: "Why did he do this? ”

Su Liuying pondered for a moment and replied:

"Maybe it's to take revenge on Miss Sun for offending him before, maybe it's planning to coerce Miss Sun to marry him, maybe it's because he took money from the Chen family to do it."

Hou Kaishan was silent.

"Let's go to the county government to see how Lu Xianggong tried the case, don't we all understand?" Hou Yue thought about the problem more directly.

Hou Kaishan's eyes lit up, he really woke up the person in his dream with a word, it was useless to think more, it was better to speak with facts!

"No, we can't watch Miss Sun fall into the mouth of the tiger." Su Liuying firmly believed that Lu Yuan had bad intentions.

Hou Kaishan said in a deep voice: "Miss Su, if Lu Yuan is really this kind of person, then my daughter will definitely not be able to find it, and I will not give up with him." ”

Seeing that he was talking about this, Miss Su didn't want to say anything more, so she sighed quietly, and her disgust for Lu Yuan deepened a little in her heart.

After the two groups of people left, Lu Yuan said to Fu Lei and the others:

"I'm going to move to live in the county government soon, so come with me."

"Xianggong can go first, and we will go to the county government to find you after the young lady returns." Fu Lei said while lying on the stretcher.

"It's fine." Lu Yuan nodded, turned around and said to the two people who sent the official certificate:

"The two of you have worked hard all the way, but you want to go to the county government to rest?"

The scribe said, "Thank you for your kindness, and the two of us are in a hurry to go back to our lives, so we will take our leave." ”

He saw that Lu Yuan lived in such a shabby place, and he didn't have any reward if he wanted to come, so he naturally didn't want to stay longer.

After everything was explained, Lu Yuan returned to the house to pack his luggage, Qin Li glanced at Fu Lei and the others, and followed into the house.

When the short man saw that there were only three of them left outside the house, he smiled and said:

"I didn't expect him to be an official, after he cures us, if he knows that we are bandits, I guess I will be half angry!"

Fu Lei was still counting on Lu Yuan to save him at the moment, and said angrily when he heard this:

"Be quiet, don't let them hear you."

The short man grinned and said: "What are you afraid of, when they hear it, they will use a knife to force them to treat Brother Lei, and they will not dare to treat them." ”

"Fuck, it's not your hurt to dare to love, it's not a good thing, is it?" Fu Lei said viciously.

When the short man saw that he was angry, he begged for mercy a few times.

Tie Zhu's family, Lu Yuan said to Lin Zhao:

"Xiao Zhao, Yu Tong and I are going to the county seat, will you go with us?"

Lin Zhao wanted to go over very much in his heart, but he was very angry, and he didn't want to be looked down upon by Lu Yutong, so he said:

"Brother Lu, I want to guard the house left by my father and mother, you go, I will go to see you from time to time."

"Okay then." Lu Yuan said to the old woman again: "Aunt Tie, thank you for the past few days, I'm going to the county seat." ”

Aunt Tie smiled and nodded.

Lu Yuan left another penny of silver in the house, bid farewell to Huangkou Village, and went to the county seat.

He held the ivory plate and the letter of appointment tightly, and his heart was excited, not only because he was an official, but also because he could give Lu Yutong a better life.

She County is located in the center of the county.

At the gate of the county ya, as soon as Miss Su got out of the car, she saw Sun Shaoqing in the distance, she was supporting an old man, and there was a strange young man standing next to her, thinking that these two people were from the Xu family.

Thinking of the sad fate of this woman later, she finally couldn't bear it, walked over to her, and said:

"Sister Sun, I have something to talk to you about alone."

Miss Sun thought that Lu Yuan had asked her to bring a message to herself, nodded, and walked with her to a willow tree, only to hear Su Liuying say:

"Sister Sun, you leave quickly, Lu Yuan is likely to harm you!"

"For... Why? Sun Shaoqing was stunned.

Miss Su didn't want to mention the past again, and said:

"Don't ask so much, let's go."

Sun Shaoqing suddenly became suspicious, thinking back to the scene of getting along with Lu Yuan, she slowly settled down:

"Miss Su, it was Chen Gongzi who asked you to come and persuade me to leave."

"Where does this start?" Su Liuying was stunned.

"The Xu family has now fallen into this field, what else is there to harm, Chen Gongzi is a good means, he can drive you, the master of the capital, to do such things for him."

Miss Su sighed and said:

"Sister Sun, Lu Yuan is really not a good person, I will do everything I have to say, I hope you can tide over this difficulty."

Sun Shaoqing has been in business for many years, has a firm mind, and will think carefully about everything, she has already developed trust in Lu Yuan, and will not be shaken by the words of others.

Back in the carriage, Su Liuying looked quite depressed, the bad things Lu Yuan had done in the past were definitely not just Zhong Gongzi, otherwise how could she dislike him so much with her gentle temperament?

She no longer had any hope for Lu Yuan's temperament, and now she could only wait for the aftermath to try her best to help Miss Sun heal her mental wounds.

As soon as Sun Shaoqing returned to the carriage, Xu Yun asked:

"What is she looking for you?"

"Nothing." She didn't dare to tell the Xu family this, otherwise they might be scared back.

However, Xu Yun was still suspicious and asked:

"You said that the prefectural magistrate will arrive soon, why hasn't it appeared yet?"

Miss Sun said softly, "Wait, he will definitely come." ”

"You are honestly waiting, Shaoqing is running for us like this, is it for herself? Think about how you will speak, and don't say the wrong thing in court. Old Man Xu said angrily.

"Here, Lu Gongzi is here!" Lan'er, who had been staring at the north of the street, suddenly shouted.

Miss Sun looked at it, and there were a few people walking in the distance, and the person who took the lead was indeed Lu Yuan, and her heart finally settled down.

Xu Yun fixed his eyes and said angrily:

"Isn't that guy your family? I saw it the other day! Even if you want to fool us, you should find someone I don't know! ”

"Wait and see, whether he is a family member or not, the yamen will tell you soon." Lan Erjiao snorted, and there was no politeness to Xu Yun in her words.

After Lu Yuan approached, he smiled at Miss Sun, and walked towards the county office, and suddenly a yellow figure stood in front of him, but it was Su Liuying!

He couldn't help but take two steps back, and Miss Su immediately approached two steps.

Lu Yuan retreated again, and she entered again!

Lu Yuan was really a little afraid of her, and asked:

"Miss Su, what's the matter?"

"I don't allow you to hurt the sister of the Sun family!" Su Liuying reprimanded.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her."

"Okay, you won't be allowed to ascend to the hall later!"

"Then what's going on, I'll try the gambling case of the Xu family and the Chen family anew." Lu Yuan's brows furrowed.

"You are not allowed to harm your family!" Su Liuying said angrily.

"I'm helping them ......" Before she finished speaking, Miss Sun walked quickly, pointed at Miss Su and said:

"Lu Gongzi, she is likely to be Chen Qian's person, don't believe her words."

She saw Su Liuying blocking Lu Yuan from a distance and preventing him from ascending to the court, and she thought in her heart that she was on Chen Qian's side.

At this time, Hou Kaishan also came over and said in a deep voice:

"Miss Su, let's see Lu Xianggong ascend to the court."

Su Liuying saw that Hou Kaishan was also looking at him with suspicion, sighed faintly, and returned to his carriage.

Lu Yuan exhaled, walked to the door of the county office, and handed the appointment letter to Qin Li, who held the appointment letter high in his right hand and shouted at a county official:

"Shexian County ordered Lord Lu Yuan to come to take office, you go and notify all the officials in the county to come out to greet you!"

The official was taken aback, and ran in a panic.

In the county ya, Li Xiancheng of "Cong Bapin" and Yuan Zhushu of "Zheng Jiupin" are playing chess in the county ya.

The two people watching the chess next to him were Li County Lieutenant of "Zheng Jiupin" and Dr. Wang of "Congjiupin".

These four people are the only four officials in the county government, and the others can only be called officials.

Nali County Lieutenant and Li County Cheng are both in their forties, Yuan Zhushu is the youngest, only in his thirties, and Dr. Wang is an old man in his sixties.

If it were in the past, these four people would not have had the leisure time to get together to play chess anyway, but recently they received a notice from the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy that the new county commander would arrive in a few days, and they had to work honestly in the yamen and wait for the county order to take office.

Li County Lieutenant didn't know how to play chess, and after watching it, he felt a little dizzy, and complained:

"Why hasn't this county commander arrived, I haven't been to Pinglefang for several days, and I always feel a little uncomfortable in my bones."

"You have accepted an eleven-room concubine, why do you always like to go to the Qinglou?" Master Yuan scolded with a smile.

"House flowers aren't as fragrant as wildflowers." County Lieutenant Li said with a smile.

Li Xiancheng shook his head with a smile and said softly:

"It should be almost there, this person is a Jinshi, he used to be an official in Beijing, and he is a person who talks about pomp and circumstance, we can't be careless in the reception."

"Brother Li's words, how dare the little brother not listen, that is, seeing that you are boring in chess, I can't help but say a few words. In the face of big events, the younger brother still knows in his heart. ”

That's right, after all, he is the honor of a county of "Zhengqipin", as long as he is satisfied, everyone's good life can continue to live in the future. Li Xiancheng said with a smile.

"He's just a void, even if he comes, isn't it Brother Li who is really in charge of our yamen?" Li County Lieutenant complimented.

Li Xiancheng smiled slightly and did not speak.

"Don't underestimate this new county magistrate too much, after all, he is Marquis Feng's henchman, if you make that adult angry, it won't be a joke." Master Yuan is more cautious.

"No one said they wanted to offend him, this kind of big man, let's give him up."

"Brother Li is right, I have sent someone to investigate, this person loves money and is greedy for fame, as long as we agree before, give him their share, and invite more scholars and celebrities to praise him, then his power in the yamen will not only not be harmful to us, but will also become our help!" Li County's eyes were blazing.

"With Brother Li strategizing, I'll just wait for the order to act." Master Yuan said with a smile.

Dr. Wang, who had not spoken, suddenly sneered:

"As soon as he came, he took so much, and the old man admired you for laughing so happily."

Li Xiancheng glanced at him coldly, thinking that if you don't have a good nephew who is the imperial history, just with your kind of character, you are also qualified to be an official in the same county as me? ”

He is a lifter, and although this Dr. Wang is a lot old, he has no merit, and Li Xiancheng has always looked down on him in his heart.

"I know that Brother Wang is a little less, but everyone is divided according to their positions, and you agreed before, so why bother saying it now."

Dr. Wang smacked his lips and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'll talk about it casually, you don't like to listen to the old man."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of "dong dong", and the lieutenant of Li opened the door to see that there was a servant outside the door:

"My lord, the prefectural order has arrived!"

Li Xiancheng quickly walked to the door and said to a confidant outside the door:

"You go and inform the Chen family immediately and let them get ready."

Then he said to another officer:

"You go and inform the head of the annual team, let him notify everyone in the county government to gather in the outer courtyard of the lobby, and then notify Ding Zhutou, and let him lead the catcher to line up at the gate of the county government to meet the team."
