Chapter Eighty-Four: There is no time to wait

"Young Master, have you inquired about Second Miss Qin's whereabouts?"

When Li Hongyu returned to the Li Mansion, Rou'er hadn't slept yet, and was waiting anxiously in the living room of the small courtyard where Li Hongyu lived in the backyard. After seeing Li Hongyu, he hurriedly greeted him with a concerned face.

"In Gwanghwa County." Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, and told Rou'er what happened with a cold expression.

"I didn't expect Yang Gongzi to do such a thing!" This made Rou'er stunned, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes, she never imagined that Yang Renxiao, who was born in a scholarly family, was so crazy that she simply lost her mind.

"You take someone to Guanghua County early tomorrow morning, pretend to be a robber and set fire to the Yang family's manor, and then rescue the second miss and Xiaolan."

Li Hongyu paced back and forth in the room a few times, and then told Wang Tieniu in a deep voice, "Don't have too much contact with them, lest they recognize your identity." ”

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely handle this matter well." Wang Tieniu nodded when he heard this, and replied seriously.

He naturally knew the seriousness of this matter, if it was not handled properly, it would not only ruin the reputation of the Li family, but also complicate the relationship between Li Hongyu and Qin Yue, causing the Li family's back house to be unstable.

Obviously, the best choice now is to hide it from Qin Yue and not let Qin Yue know that it was Li Hongyu who rescued her, otherwise Qin Yue will inevitably have a knot in her heart because of this, and Li Hongyu now needs the internal stability of the Li family, and he doesn't want to be distracted by the affairs of the back house.

Besides, Li Hongyu still has his own plans, rather than piercing this layer of window paper to embarrass Qin Yue, it is better to pretend not to know, so that Qin Yue will inevitably feel guilty because of this matter, and he will not be able to be strong in front of him in the future.

"Young master, tomorrow Lord Inspector will hold a court in the county government to try the case of Niu Xiancheng's corruption and perversion of the law, will the Bai clan abscond in fear of crime?" After Wang Tieniu left, Rou'er remembered another thing and couldn't help asking.

"Since the second miss is very concerned about Niu Feng's case, then reveal the news of the Bai family to the second miss's people, and let the second miss complete the final blow to Niu Feng!"

Li Hongyu sneered when he heard this, if he didn't guess wrong, Niu Feng must have hidden the money he was greedy for ink in the nurse's house where the Bai family lives now, which is both safe and hidden, once those stolen goods are found, everyone will get the stolen goods, and the evidence is ironclad.

Niu Feng can now be said to be the wall down and pushed by everyone, when the inspector Du Yi'an thoroughly investigated his violations of law and discipline with great fanfare, many people who had been bullied by him went to the yamen to complain, making the yamen for a time like a city, lively and extraordinary, which shows that Niu Feng's daily actions are very angry with the people.

This is exactly what Du Yi'an wants to see, he can't wait for Niu Feng's case to get as big as possible, and in that case, the greater his political achievements in eradicating Niu Feng, a corrupt official who is on the wrong side.

Liu Wenxu, the prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture, and Lu Shiyuan, the prefect of Xiangyang County, were disturbed by Niu Feng's case, especially Lu Shiyuan was like an ant on a hot pot, Niu Feng was his deputy, if he said something that should not be said, then he would definitely be implicated.

For this reason, Lu Shiyuan can only ask Liu Wenxu for help, it is obvious that Liu Wenxu does not want Niu Feng's case to make too much trouble, which will have a great impact on his political performance, at least not to implicate too many officials of Xiangyang County and County Government.

Speaking of which, there are not many court officials in the county government, and those with grades also know the county, the county officer, the main book, the inspection and the deputy inspection. Others, such as the canonical history, the county school and the teachings, the post station and the ambassador of the Daocang, etc., are all official positions that have not entered the stream, and these officials who have not entered the stream due to their low authority, even if they commit crimes, they are all small cases of sesame mung beans.

Of course, what Liu Wenxu wants to protect is Lu Shiyuan, Lu Shiyuan is the magistrate of a county, and he is also the magistrate of Guo County, if he is implicated, then the nature will be very bad.

In fact, in Li Hongyu's view, although Du Yi'an put on a huge posture, the result must be thunder and rain.

The reason is very simple, judging from Du Yi'an's cautious way of acting, he will not have an excessive conflict with Liu Wenxu, no matter how Liu Wenxu was born in Jinshi, he is not without roots in the capital, he just wants a political achievement, and he really can't stab this hornet's nest.

Therefore, Niu Feng's case must be a bargain between Du Yi'an and Liu Wenxu at the end of the trial, and the two maximize the interests of both parties through continuous compromises.

This is the way of officialdom, and doing business is the same thing, only eternal interests have no eternal enemies, like the kind of person who buries his head and only knows that he is on a rampage, he will inevitably be bumped into his head and bloody, so don't think about making a difference in officialdom.

However, Li Hongyu can be sure that Niu Feng is definitely unlucky this time, and he will definitely be sentenced to a hanging, and he deserves it.

On the morning of the next day, Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and other new students went to visit Zhao Guangfeng, the great Confucian of Xiangyang Shilin, and listened to Zhao Guangfeng's teachings as a junior of Shilin.

In fact, unlike other new recruits, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin prefer to deal with businessmen in Xiangyang City, Zhao Xin needless to say that he will take over the family's business in the future, and Li Hongyu also knows the importance of business, and both of them want to take the opportunity to open up contacts in the business world.

However, in this era of heavy scholars and light businessmen, it is not convenient for the two of them to contact the merchants of Xiangyang City as new students, otherwise they will definitely end up with a reputation of chasing copper and insulting the scholars.

When Zhao Guangfeng imparted his life experience, Li Hongyu seemed a little absent-minded, not because he had already been taught by Zhao Guangfeng, but because he was worried about whether Qin Yue could be rescued smoothly, in case of an accident, it would be a big trouble.

It stands to reason that Li Hongyu should now hate Yang Renxiao, who is behind all this, but he can't hate it anyway, after all, it is because of him that he ruined the marriage between Yang Renxiao and Qin Yue, and it seems logical for Yang Renxiao to trouble him.

Moreover, Qin Yue has already returned the bracelet to Yang Renxiao, which means that she has broken off the grievance entanglement with Yang Renxiao, in this case, Li Hongyu does not need to trouble Yang Renxiao anymore, as long as Qin Yue can return safely.

But as the saying goes, there are only three things, Yang Renxiao has calculated Li Hongyu twice, and each time he wants to put Li Hongyu to death, if Yang Renxiao wants to plot against him for the third time, then Li Hongyu will not be polite.

Li Hongyu asked Wang Tieniu to set fire to Yang Renxiao's manor in Guanghua County, in fact, it was a warning to him, if there was another time, it would not be as simple as burning a courtyard, but to set himself on fire.

In the afternoon, Gwanghwa County, a manor located outside a small town.

Since the new owner of the manor had not yet moved in, there were only a few people in charge of cleaning the grass inside, and it seemed a little deserted.

At this moment, in a courtyard in the back house of the manor, four big men gathered together in the shade of a tree to gamble money, they were the four Yang Renxiao subordinates who robbed Qin Yue and Xiaolan in Yunjue Temple, and were sent by Yang Renxiao to be guards.

"Miss, they watch very strictly, we can't go out." In a locked wing room in the courtyard, Xiaolan leaned on the crack of the door and looked out, and said to Qin Yue, who was sitting on a chair and sipping tea, with some frustration.

According to Xiaolan's observation, the four guards will be divided into two groups at night, one on duty in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night, and they will also lock the courtyard gate from the inside with a lock, so it is not difficult to escape to the sky.

Although Yang Renxiao provided women's clothes, Qin Yue and Xiaolan still looked like women dressed as men, and the two of them hadn't taken off their clothes at all in the past few days, and they could only wipe their bodies with water every day in the hot weather, which was unimaginable in the past.

The reason is very simple, Qin Yue has been thinking about how to escape, men's clothes are definitely more suitable for escaping than women's clothes, and she must bring this set of men's clothes back to the Li Mansion, otherwise it will leave endless hidden dangers, she doesn't want this dress to fall into Yang Renxiao's hands, so the safest way is to wear it on her body.

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Qin Yue's willow eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, and she secretly felt anxious in her heart, she naturally knew that Li Hongyu was going to leave Xiangyang City and return to Baihe Town, and before that, she had to rush back, otherwise the matter would be big, and then Li Hongyu would be implicated.

Whoever let her live in the Li Mansion when she was in Xiangyang City, Yang Renxiao will definitely fall into the well at that time, so that Li Hongyu's township test will be messed up!

Moreover, if Qin Yue didn't guess wrong, Rou'er must have noticed that she hadn't come back for several days, maybe she had secretly sent someone to look for her, and if she couldn't rush back before Li Hongyu left Xiangyang City, she wouldn't be able to justify herself.

"Miss, isn't it time for us to take a bath, the smell on my body is really bad to death."

While Qin Yue was frowning there and thinking of a way, Xiaolan couldn't help but sniff the clothes on her body, and then said with a sad face, after a few days, there was a smell of sweat stains on her body, which made her really unbearable.

"I've figured out a way to escape." Qin Yue couldn't help but glance at Xiaolan when she heard this, she could completely understand Xiaolan's mood at this time, why didn't she want to take a comfortable bath? Therefore, after a deep sigh, he said, "When we escape, we can take a good bath." ”

"Miss, do you have a way to escape from here?" Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly leaned over happily, she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Qin Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, the corners of her mouth squirmed for a moment, and as soon as she let go, the teacup she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, and it fell apart with a snap.

Xiaolan looked at Qin Yue with a surprised expression, a little unsure of her intentions, could it be that she wanted to smash the things in the house to create a chance to escape?

"If I'm injured, they'll definitely send me to the town's infirmary for treatment, and then you can find an opportunity to report to the town's local security guard, and say that we have been kidnapped and let him bring someone to save me."

Under Xiao Lan's suspicious gaze, Qin Yue leaned over and picked up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground, then rolled up the sleeve of her left hand to reveal her snow-white wrist, and said to her with a cold expression.

"Miss, never!" Xiaolan was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Yue's arm holding the broken porcelain piece, and hurriedly dissuaded her, only then did she understand that Qin Yue originally wanted to escape from here by self-harm.
