Chapter 197: Iron Law
The mansion that originally belonged to Zhou Jiushun has been transformed at this moment, from the original extravagance and luxury to the current cold and concise.
Wang Jing sat on the chair, listened to his subordinate Zhao Yan read out his rules, and then looked at all the servants who had gathered in the front hall in front of him: "From today onwards, the city lord of this Xingcheng is my king, and it is best to forget all the rules in the past!" If anyone dares to make a mistake, they will not be spared! ”
A group of servants bowed their heads tremblingly, "Yes! Slaves keep it in mind. ”
Wang Jing nodded, "Let's all go down!" ”
After everyone left, there were only two maids left in the front hall, as well as Wang Jing and Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan looked at Wang Jing and said: "General, Madame is tired of traveling and driving, and the head wind is committed again, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
Wang Jing frowned, and said impatiently: "Look for Lang Zhong, what do I see!" Will I be cured? ”
Zhao Yan didn't dare to speak, so he could only claim that Mrs. Wang was Wang Jing's married couple, and she was already an old and decrepit yellow-faced woman, so naturally Wang Jing couldn't wait to see her.
Wang Jing was angry in his heart, and said with hatred in his mouth: "Didn't you just kill one of your own subordinates, Your Majesty actually demoted me here to defend the city!" ”
Zhao Yan comforted: "General, this Xingcheng is a good place, Your Majesty values it very much, so I let the general come over, if the general is well governed, maybe Your Majesty will not only restore the general's official position, but also increase the rank of knight!" ”
After listening to Zhao Yan's words, Wang Jing thought about it carefully, Zhou Qingwu really valued Xingcheng very much, but he was really unhappy to let him be a dignified general to guard the city.
originally thought that if Wen Ye died, the military power would fall into his hands, but he didn't expect another Qian Baihan to come out soon.
He just killed one of his subordinates, but he was reprimanded by Zhou Qingwu, removed from the position of general, and came to Xingcheng to be the little city lord of this side!
How could he be willing?
"How long is General Ben going to be here?" Wang Jing was angry in his heart, "If you haven't done anything to make Your Majesty look green, will you have to be the city lord all the time?" ”
Zhao Yan thought for a while and said to Wang Jing: "Not necessarily, Your Majesty has been secretly tracking down Lu Qingzi's whereabouts, if the general can catch Lu Qingzi and dedicate it to Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will be very happy!" ”
Wang Jing's originally irritated eyes finally revealed a hint of joy, "Really? ”
Zhao Yan nodded and said, "The subordinates don't dare to deceive the general." ”
The corners of Wang Jing's mouth hooked up a smile, and he immediately sent someone to check Lu Qingzi's whereabouts.
As long as Lu Qingzi is caught, then he can return to the capital!
After staying in Chaoyang Village for two days, Lu Qingzi still didn't hear about Baihua's mother-in-law, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Because Chaoyang Village is located in a vacant lot near Xingcheng, there is no one else except Lu Qingzi and others, and Lu Qingzi can't hear any other news except for waiting for the guards to talk back every day.
After staying for another two days, Lu Qingzi decided to go to Xingcheng.
It's just that I don't know why, after entering from the city gate, Lu Qingzi always felt that this place was very strange.
The last time I came here, it wasn't like that.
Bai Fangxue also frowned slightly, but she didn't speak.
Instead, Wen Ye looked at the people passing by one by one and said, "Why are they all expressionless?" Is something bad happening? ”
Lu Qingzi only reacted at this time, when these people passed by, they had no expression on their faces at all, and their faces were empty and numb!
Lu Qingzi shook his head and found an inn with good business to settle down, where people come and go, and it is more convenient to inquire about things.
It's just that I didn't expect that although the shopkeeper didn't have a blank face, he also looked serious.
Bai Fangxue couldn't help but open her mouth to look at the shopkeeper and asked, who knew that the shopkeeper suddenly glanced nervously at the door, and then lowered her voice and said, "The city lord doesn't allow the people to talk and laugh loudly!" ”
Lu Qingzi was a little stunned: "Why?" ”
It's no wonder that even when the street vendors shouted, they lost their previous enthusiasm, and it sounded cold and uncomfortable.
"This is the rule of the new city lord, I heard, he was a general on the battlefield before!" The shopkeeper said no more words, for fear that he would be heard by others, and it would be like losing his head.
Lu Qingzi was not embarrassed, and took Bai Fangxue and the others upstairs.
After sorting out her things, Lu Qingzi looked at Bai Fangxue and said, "It seems that we can't stay in Xingcheng for a long time." ”
Bai Fangxue nodded, and said to Lu Qingzi: "It seems that the rumors are true, and the people of this Xingcheng are going to suffer." ”
If it was before, Lu Qingzi might still think about seeking justice for the people here and reporting it to the imperial court, but at this time, she is powerless to take care of this matter because she is unable to protect herself.
On the day of staying in Xingcheng, Lu Qingzi began to try to find out the whereabouts of Granny Baihua, but it was only on the night of the fifth day that there was a response.
Mother-in-law Baihua was found by the guards in the suburbs not far from the capital, and she had fallen into a coma, and was rescued by the guards sent by Lu Qingzi, so she took advantage of the night to return to the inn.
Lu Qingzi looked at Granny Baihua lying on the bed, her wrinkled face was already stained with blood, and a knife wound was also exposed on her shoulder.
Lu Qingzi carefully gave the medicine, and then sat on the edge of the bed and waited for her to wake up.
It was almost dawn until dawn, and Granny Baihua still showed no signs of waking up, and Lu Qingzi finally couldn't resist the onset of fatigue and fell asleep leaning on the bedside.
When she woke up again, Granny Baihua's cloudy yellow eyes were looking at her, and she was half sober.
"Mother-in-law, you're awake!"
Granny Baihua's eyes were full of scrutiny, and her old voice looked at her and asked, "You saved me?" ”
Lu Qingzi only remembered at this time that he had changed his face at the moment, and the mother-in-law of Baihua in front of him was afraid that she did not recognize herself.
She nodded slightly, looked at Granny Baihua and said, "Yes!" ”
Granny Baihua was silent for a long time, sat up from the bed, and trembled to go out.
Lu Qingzi hurriedly stopped: "Mother-in-law, where are you going?" ”
Mother-in-law Baihua looked at her and said, "Mother-in-law's cat is lost, and the old body is going to find my cat!" ”
"I'll help you find it, you can take care of your injuries, you have a very serious shoulder injury!" Lu Qingzi finally found Granny Baihua, how to let her leave like this!
The corners of Granny Baihua's mouth hooked up a smile, she looked at Lu Qingzi and said, "You are a kind-hearted person!" ”
After that, without waiting for Lu Qingzi to speak, he looked at Lu Qingzi and said: "The old body still has some medical skills available, if you help me find the greedy cat of the old body, the old body will promise you to help you treat someone, how about it?" ”
Lu Qingzi looked at her mother-in-law Baihua and immediately said happily: "I'll go and find a cat for my mother-in-law!" ”
