"See the pattern of this knife? It's meant to get rid of you right away! ”

Steward Ke was shocked, and his body trembled.

"Why, still don't believe it? Let me guess if the person you have always trusted is of the same clan as you, who can often contact the Wen family and get first-hand information about the Hou Mansion? ”

Qu Miaoling was seductive, and when she saw that there was more and more cold sweat on the top of Steward Ke's head, she suddenly smiled.

"You're just a pawn crossing the river, and when you get rid of me, then you're not far from death!"

The more Steward Ke listened, the more frightened he became, and his teeth chattered.

"Why, if you still don't believe it, I'll tell you another secret, this person you believe in the most, is it behind you!"

As soon as Qu Miaoling's words fell, a knife light flashed.

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man in a coarse cloth robe collapsed with a slam on his chest, and at his chest was the hilt of a sword.

This sword, she had seen, had always been worn on Situ Huaiju's waist.

The next moment, blood gushed out, Qu Miaoling's waist tightened, and his body turned away from the place where the blood splattered.

After a few quick steps back, the owner of the arm let go of her.

Qu Miaoling was stunned, and the man took a few steps back.

Qu Miaoling turned her head and saw that it was Situ Huai, she was even more stunned.

Before she could open her mouth, Situ Huai said like a cannon: "Dignified Anhui County Lord, I didn't expect to be a fool!" ”

Situ Huai snorted coldly.

It's as if I'm venting all the dissatisfaction in my heart.

Seeing this, Qu Miaoling's heart was relieved.

When she met Situ Huaiju's eyes just now, she felt that something was wrong with the man opposite.

Now it seems, it really is.

Although she didn't know why, this man was so angry.

"I'm measured!"

"Huh." Situ Huai sneered twice, "Are you just letting that dagger stab into your body?" If I hadn't made a move just now, it wouldn't be him lying on the ground now, but you! ”

Qu Miaoling had nothing to say, Situ Huai's life-saving grace, she couldn't deny it.

"I don't know how the Jingkang Hou Mansion educated her daughter, she is reckless and disobedient, she is bold and doesn't know how to protect herself, she dares to let such a person go out of the mansion without permission, and I don't know if she is big-hearted or wide-hearted!"

After all, he is his own savior.

Qu Miaoling didn't say anything.

If there is a different person, even if it is her eldest cousin, Qu Miaoling will have a hundred words back.

It was only when he met this Situ Huaizhu that Qu Miaoling became dumbfounded.

"Your Royal Highness, thank you very much."

Qu Miaoling was at a loss, she had to be blessed to salute Situ Huaiju, she thought that the sincere apology fell in Situ Huaiju's eyes, but it was no different from a perfunctory response.

Situ Huaiju's expression became even colder.

"I'm really sorry for this trip, it's better to walk birds and fight cocks at home!"

Situ Huai said and turned around to leave.

Qu Miaoling said for no reason, "I know you will definitely come!" ”

Situ Huaiju's footsteps stopped, and the facial features on his face almost shifted.

He snorted coldly and turned around, "If it weren't for the fact that I owe the Jingkang Hou family a favor, I would definitely not come!" ”

Seeing that Situ Huaizhu had put all the credit on the previous incident, Qu Miaoling couldn't help laughing.

She didn't know that this majestic king was still a turtle with a shrunken head.

She was just tempting just now, but now she is sure that even if it wasn't for her brother to ask King Jie to come, Situ Huaizhu would come, as long as she sent the letter for help.

Why is she so sure?

Of course, it was because Situ Huaizhu came uninvited in his previous life, although the rescue was not successful, but in Qu Miaoling's heart, Situ Huaizhu had already drawn a strong stroke.

"Next time, if you are in prison again, you go and beg your eldest cousin to go, so that he doesn't bother me!"

The master and apprentice Hua Huai's tone is clearly extremely arrogant.

Qu Miaoling smiled, "Your Highness, don't worry, if Miaoling has something to do in the future, he will definitely tell you, and he will never pretend to deliver it to a third person." ”

Situ Huai snorted again when he heard this, but he didn't sarcastically mock Qu Miaoling in the end.

Qu Miaoling asked these people to be taken away and locked up, while she followed Situ Huaizhu to wander around the courtyard.

"What are you doing with me!" Situ Huai left for a long time, pretending to be impatient.

Qu Miaoling shrugged innocently, "Did I follow His Highness?" Not at all! ”

Situ Huai was in a hurry, he turned around and quickened his pace.

But although Qu Miaoling is a woman, she still has some kung fu on her body, and she also sped up her pace and maintained the distance between the two within 10 meters.

Situ Huaiju heard the increasingly heavy wheezing sound of the woman behind him, he couldn't bear it anymore, he slowed down, as if he was tired.

But Qu Miaoling knew that the man in front of him was waiting for him.

She didn't care about the exhaustion of her body, and chased after her in three steps and two steps.

"Your Royal Highness, the courtiers have something to tell you."

Situ Huai stopped suddenly.

"Say."

"It's really not Miao Ling's instructions that my big cousin bothered you today, but you helped Miao Ling today, Miao Ling is very grateful, if you have something in the future, Miao Ling will do her best."

As soon as Qu Miaoling's words fell, Situ Huaiju's face was the same color as the bottom of the pot.

"Your Highness, what are you?"

"Qu Miaoling, you are so good!"

Situ Huai decided to stride away, Qu Miaoling chased a few steps, but the other party was full of horsepower, and she couldn't catch up at all.

In the end, she gasped and gave up.

"Miss, those people who are locked up are making trouble, go over and take a look!"

Gently suddenly appeared and dragged Qu Miaoling away.

Situ Huai, who didn't know how far he had gone, turned around, and sure enough, there was nothing behind him.

This Qu Miaoling!

She didn't even say thank you!

She really deserves to be the daughter of that hypocritical Wu Dehou! Lord Huiling's genes have ruined her!

Thinking like this, the expression on Situ Huaiju's face became more and more resentful, and in the end, it was dark and dull, and it was darker than the black charcoal.

"Your Highness, there is a disturbance ahead." Situ Huaiju's subordinates reported to him.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

As soon as Situ Huaizhu arrived, he saw Qu Miaoling frowning at the crowd of troublemakers.

These were the people who worked on the estate.

was suddenly locked up, and they were both old and young, so they naturally wanted to make trouble.

Seeing that the crowd was about to break through the guards' barriers, Situ Huai rushed over, but heard Qu Miaoling say: "Everyone, I am the master of this manor, and listen to me!" ”

The restless crowd suddenly stopped, as if the boiling water had lost the heating of the firewood, and suddenly became calm.

"I promise, as long as I find out that you have nothing to do with Steward Ke's affairs, you can still do things in the manor, except for one thing, you must do your best and be loyal to me, and you must not be double-minded!"

"Okay." The group replied together.

"Okay, Steward Ke, have you thought about it? Will it help me, or will it be stubborn! ”

Steward Ke gritted his teeth, and finally, he decided: "Your Highness, the slave is a small person, but the villain also knows that good birds choose trees to perch, and the slave is willing to serve His Highness." ”

Qu Miaoling smiled.

"But the slave has a request, the slave is willing to be a subordinate of the gold steward, but the slave is unwilling to betray Mrs. Wen, and I ask the young lady to forgive."

As he spoke, Steward Ke knelt down.

Silence, silence.

"Okay, I agree."

"Miss!" Gently startled, "He is a relative of the Wen family, and if he can betray the Wen family, he can betray us, and we still take him in, isn't it self-defeating?" ”

"Gently, you're at odds." Qu Miaoling didn't explain too much, so she asked Steward Ke to take someone to find the gold steward.

At this time, the Ke steward said, at that time, the Wen family asked him to dispose of the gold steward, and he couldn't bear it, so he let the gold steward go.

The two occasionally kept in touch.

Hearing this, Gentle was even more shocked.

She thought that Ke was in charge of bad water, but she didn't expect him to have such a good side.

"Your Highness, the minion doesn't hide it from you, I assassinated you today, the minion really can't help it, Madam-Madam, she held the minion's family hostage." Steward Ke said a heavy kowtow, very repentant.

Looking at such a Ke steward, Qing's face was a little more relaxed.

"You can't go wrong with your young lady." Qu Miaoling smiled.

Laughing softly, "Yes, yes, Miss is the best!" The master and servant praised each other, and Situ Huaizhu watched the play not far away, and then came over.

"Miss Qu is a good means."

"It's not as good as Your Highness."

The two looked at each other again, and the unhappiness just now seemed to have turned the page.

No one mentioned it again.

"Miss, everyone has been checked, and all the people of the Wen family have been found out, and they are locked up in the basement of the manor."

"Well, let's start counting the property of the manor now, and dig up all the things that have been hidden, embezzled, and bought and sold."

"Yes."

The people brought by Situ Huaizhu also joined the inventory, and Qu Miaoling went into battle in person and seriously played the abacus.

It took two days to complete the inventory of the things in the two manors, and the property and land were all lost, and the people who had the accident were basically people who were inextricably related to the Wen family.

With this thick stack of booklets, Qu Miaoling took control of Wen's crimes.

She asked the newly appointed financial steward to adjust the rent and pay back all the overcharged rents in the past.

However, the steward proposed that the rent should not be repaid, but that the rent be reduced for two years, so that the tenants could recuperate, and after another two years, another 10% of the rent would be collected.

Qu Miaoling thought about it and agreed.

After leaving this manor and obtaining Situ Huai's consent, she took people straight to the three Zhuangzi in front of her, cleaned them up, and kicked out all the two hearts, and returned to the manor before Qu Miaoling returned to the Hou Mansion.

It took half a day when I came, but it took a day to go back.

At noon on the second day, the carriage came to a rickety halt in the middle of the road, and they passed a high mountain.

But they didn't see a single town along the way, and neither the master nor the servant were tired and hungry.

"Miss, this is the last bit of pastry, give you a cushion."

Qu Miaoling's lips were dry and hot, and she pushed twice.

Although I was hungry, I was so thirsty that I couldn't swallow it.

At this moment, the neighing of horses and the cheers of the guards were suddenly heard outside.

Qu Miaoling lifted the curtain and saw Situ Huaiju's personal guard dragging a wild boar back, and several people behind him were still holding large and small water bladders in their hands.

When you look at the weight, you know it's filled with water.

Qu Miaoling's thirsty throat "clanged".

"Miss, the king of the county is so powerful, get water and food, and the slave and maid will ask for some!" Gentle's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly got out of the car.

Qu Miaoling thinks about it? Her brothers can too, but there is food and drink, and this man is not bad.

It didn't take much effort, and he returned softly.

"Miss, the king of the county said, if you want to drink, you have to go and get it yourself."

When Qu Miaoling heard this, she knew that this King of the Counties had come to settle accounts, but her physiological reaction made her have to succumb to the obscenity of the King of the Counties.

"Okay, I'll go."

I'd like to see how he can toss me.

was different from what Qu Miaoling expected, as soon as she got out of the carriage and walked towards Situ Huaiqi, the other party handed over a water bladder.

"It's the turtle that lives a long life without moving, not you! These thin arms and legs can blow you down with a gust of wind! ”

But this sweet spring water, Qu Miaoling didn't choke.
