Chapter 0208: Don't Talk
The people in the city said that the new Zhixian did not have the frame of an official master, and he spoke without hindrance, and Yunxiao moved forward, "Is Lu Zhixian a little presumptuous when he speaks, what do you want me to do?" Can you just say that? ”
Lu Fei's face was bitter, "What's the matter, does the county lord want to show the momentum of the royal family in front of me?" Okay, why don't I kneel down and bow to you? ”
Lu Fei stroked the hem of his clothes, Yunxiao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said, "Lord Lu misunderstood, I, the county lord, are useful to others, but it is another matter for you."
Yunxiao's fingers were very thin, her skin was white and red, and several delicate and delicate rings seemed to be set on her knuckles, revealing a precious aura everywhere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Fei didn't plan to kneel down at all, and asked him to kneel down in front of a woman, which made him unacceptable.
"yes, why should I do it differently?" Lu Fei raised his head and stared at the clouds in front of him.
Yunxiao was born in a big family, and at this time, she also felt uncomfortable in her actions, so she hurriedly let go of Lu Fei's arm and took a step back, the thick fat powder covering her expression.
"Because the reputation of Lu Zhi County has long spread throughout the city, you are supported by the people, and I respect this kind of person the most" Yunxiao said.
Lu Fei pulled over two chairs, "So the county lord is saying that everything I do is a good thing?" Lu Fei glanced at Steward Hu from a distance, and motioned for Yunxiao to sit in the garden and not enter the house, so as not to bring you any bad reputation as a lonely man and a widow.
Yunxiao still likes to stand, just like she always stands at the window of the attic of the Zhao Mansion all day long, "Of course, otherwise do you think that I, a county lord, can appear at the banquet table of your county master?" Can I come and see you? ”
Lu Fei laughed, "It seems that doing good deeds is really rewarding, and it is not in vain to be able to broadcast the favor of the county lord."
"Not really!" The clouds moved lightly and walked to the small goldfish pond in the garden.
"How?"
"I heard that you ransomed a woman from Qinglou and stayed in the county office, is there such a thing?" There is displeasure in the clouds.
Lu Fei came to Yunxiao's side, squatted down, picked up the fish food on the ground, and threw a piece into the fish pond, which immediately caused the water in the pool to churn.
"County Lord, is this pool of goldfish good-looking?" Lu Fei asked rhetorically.
Yunxiao nodded, and there were dozens of small and flexible ornamental fish of different sizes swimming in the fish pond, some were golden, some were red, and some were black and white.
Lu Fei said, "This pond of goldfish is the only beloved thing left by the predecessor Song Zhixian, I heard the county officials say that whenever he is not doing well in political affairs, he stays on the edge of this fish pond for a long time, and he is depressed."
Yunxiao said disdainfully, "Poor work, empathy for the landscape, what is there to praise, the only thing he can remember is probably only his incorruptible name."
Lu Fei said, "Being an official and keeping the name of the Qing Dynasty should actually be the most difficult, now that Lord Song is gone, I can't see the few things that Lord Song left behind that were affected by the fish in the pond, so I take care of this fish pond for Lord Song, not only that, that Qing\Lou woman is Lord Song's daughter, I can't bear to see Zhongliang fall into this kind of fate"
Yunxiao had heard of these for a long time, and she still had a disdainful face, she may sympathize with Miss Song's experience, but there may be some other thoughts that are difficult to express, she said, "It's rare that the county master is so merciful and cherishes the jade, how can she repay you for this kindness?" ”
Lu Fei could hear that there was a hint of disgust in Yunxiao's words, "This is not what I thought, is the county lord also interested in Miss Song?" ”
Yunxiao smiled, "Maybe, aren't you afraid of the world's criticism if you keep a woman like her by your side?" ”
Lu Fei laughed, "Hey, I'm not afraid of the shadows, whatever they say, I just want to know what you think."
Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, a flush appeared on his face, and he turned his head and said, "Me, what does this have to do with me?" Do you want me to give you a red sedan chair and promote good deeds? ”
Lu Fei snickered again, leaned closer to Yunxiao and said, "I understand when the county lord asks this kind of thing."
Yunxiao blinked his eyes quickly, and actually stammered a little, "You, what do you see?" ”
Lu Fei smiled and pointed to the goldfish pond in front of him, and muttered, "The city gate is on fire, and Miss Song is really wronged!" ”
"You, what are you talking nonsense!" Yunxiao's hand twisted restlessly with the silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were shy, and she understood the meaning of Lu Zhixian's words as soon as she heard it, could it be that I fell in love with you and had inexplicable jealousy and hatred for Miss Song? It's so bold, I'm a married woman, but if I think about it, why I came here today, why, why did I have an unspeakable throbbing when I saw this magistrate, why, couldn't I?
Lu Fei looked at a county lord who usually didn't smile and also had a tender side, and his heart had already blossomed, at least this showed that the county lord didn't hate himself.
Half of the words are enough, and it would be inappropriate to continue talking, but the housekeeper Hu not far away has been watching over there.
"By the way, is there something about the county lord coming to the county office today?" Lu Fei returned to the topic, the role of the county lord in this anti-plot cannot be ignored, although it is a bit shameful to take advantage of a woman's favor, but there is really no other way.
Yunxiao looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, and gradually regained his calm heart, "What, didn't you invite me here?" ”
Lu Fei pretended to be surprised, "Yes, how come I don't know?" ”
Yunxiao smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his cuff, "Isn't this bag of tea evidence that you invited me?" ”
Lu Fei touched his head, "Oh, this, isn't this what I asked my master to hand over to Zhao Junma, how could it get into your hands?" ”
Yunxiao put away the cloth bag and said slowly, "You gave him a mystery, he couldn't guess it, so he asked me, but you didn't give me any clues, you said how I guessed, didn't you want me to ask you about the mystery of such a thing?" ”
Lu Fei smiled dryly, "Did the county lord guess it?" ”
"Do you want me to guess it or not?"
"I don't want to!" Lu Fei replied very simply.
"Why?"
"If you guess it, then what excuse will you use to come to me next time?"
"...... you" Yunxiao blushed and glanced at Steward Hu in the distance, "Lu Zhixian, you are too confident, aren't you afraid that I will bring this to Zhao Qingfeng, what do you think he will think?" ”
Lu Fei said softly, "I'm afraid, what's there to be afraid of, not to mention that you're already here, County Lord, and my goal has been achieved."
"So the purpose of you coming to me is not this bag of tea?"
"Of course not"
"What's that?" Yunxiao's heart went up and down, she seemed to want to know, but she was afraid that he would say something embarrassing to her.
Lu Fei looked at Steward Hu, tilted his head and said, "What did Zhao Junma ask Steward Hu to do, that's what I thought?" Otherwise, I'll call him over and ask him how he explained to him."
Yunxiao was in a hurry for a while, and hurriedly said, "Don't, he came to be afraid of me and ......"
"And what?" Lu Fei smiled, the county lord in front of her had long since lost that kind of lofty shelf, she was just an ordinary woman, a resentful woman in a deep house with no love and no love, and a twenty-two-year-old girl who had just been opened by Lu Fei.
"It's nothing, don't talk about this, let's talk about tea, tea, why did you give him a bag of tea? What the hell are you talking about business?" Yunxiao hurriedly opened the topic.
"You care about that, too?" Lu Fei tilted his head and asked, staring intently at her eyes, seeing Yunxiao's eyes dodging everywhere.
"No, I don't care about these things, but am I here to inquire about something?"
Lu Fei said with a melancholy expression, "Then I can't tell you even more."
"Why is that?" The clouds are puzzled.
"I'll tell you now, what excuse do you use to come to me next time, ah, haha" Lu Fei smiled proudly.
The day is already in the middle of the day, the two of them are chatting tirelessly in the garden, the sky is beautiful and the north is beautiful, ghosts and spirits, accompanied by Lu Fei's exaggerated movements and expressions, so that Yunxiao bursts of laughter from time to time, the two of them are happy, like a newcomer talking about happiness, Steward Hu on the side is so anxious that he stomps his feet again and again, but he doesn't dare to step forward to eavesdrop.
The two chatted until the sun was already west, and it was really inappropriate to continue, Yunxiao was reluctant to leave the county office, and when she left, Lu Fei asked her to do a small favor, and asked Steward Hu to go to Zhang Razi's military camp to send a letter to Li Zhong in her name.
Yunxiao left the county office, the small sedan chair walked slowly, just out of the county seat, Yunxiao looked at a letter in his hand in the sedan chair, this is a letter that Lu Fei asked her to ask Steward Hu to hand over to the generals of the government camp.
I don't know why, Yunxiao is happy to help Lu Fei do something, Lu Fei speaks funny, dares to face any difficulties, and has justice in his heart, why didn't this kind of man appear before she got married, now she only sighs, I hate when you are not married.
She made excuses for herself, what Lu Zhixian did was for the benefit of the people, so if I helped him, I helped the people, but she didn't understand why Lu Fei had to send the letter by name to Steward Hu, "Steward Hu, I heard that you have a personal relationship with Li Zhong of the Anqing Mansion Battalion Army, right?" ”
Steward Hu nodded at the sedan chair, "I've only seen a few times"
"Tell me about it"
"In recent years, the government has had some business dealings with General Zhang, and I have seen several times between business dealings, and I can't talk about personal relations, this Li Zhong is a general under General Zhang, I heard that this time he came to Susong to suppress bandits, General Zhang made him the deputy general of the Chinese army, and his reputation in the army is close to that of General Zhang."
"Okay, you can send me a letter to him"
Steward Hu frowned, "Does the county lord have a letter to him?" ”
Yunxiao's voice sank, "Why, can't you?" ”
"The little ones don't dare, but they ......"
"Just what?"
The sedan chair was still moving up and down, and Steward Hu frowned and said, "Have you forgotten that the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to have personal relations with local officials, especially the generals in charge of the army, if the county lord has something to find him, the small one can go and send him a message, so as not to tell the truth" Steward Hu's concerns do exist.
"Steward Hu thinks too much, you just send your letter, I'll take care of it" Yunxiao is not worried that this matter will implicate herself, she is just a middleman.
"But the young master would be unhappy if he knew."
"That's my business, and I don't need him to be happy, take it," Yunxiao handed the letter out of the sedan chair.
"But ......" Steward Hu took it, but he was still in a dilemma.
"You don't listen to me?"
"No, no, the little ones don't dare, send it"
"Send it now"
"Now? It's getting dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the barracks" Steward Hu intends to wait for tomorrow to send it, and before that, you can go back to the house and ask the young master.
It's just that Lu Fei said that the letter must be delivered tonight, Yunxiao guessed that the letter was likely to be related to the bandits in the mountain, and in the chat with Lu Fei, she knew that he intended to recruit the bandits, and the battalion army was bound to attack, thinking about how a county could fight a general, and help as much as possible.
"No, I want you to send it now, if you don't hand over the letter to him in person before dark, you don't have to go back to Zhao's house"
Steward Hu looked at the sky, "County Lord, it's dark in one hour, and the military camp is still more than twenty miles away from here."
"What's the grind then?"
Steward Hu didn't dare to complain anymore, so he took the letter and went straight to the county seat he had just walked out, and if he wanted to rush to the barracks before dark, he had to go to the city to hire a horse.
Steward Hu came to the barracks in the dust, and the sky was gloomy.
He didn't dare to look for Li Zhong directly, he only said to the battalion guards that he was General Zhang's old friend, and it didn't take much effort to see Zhang Rake, and the two exchanged a few words, General Zhang took the opportunity to ask if Lu Zhixian had a banquet for the county master yesterday, Steward Hu thought to himself that the county horse had seen Li Zhong yesterday, and now he came to send a private letter to the county lord, if these two things let General Zhang think about it, it is easy to misunderstand, in case General Zhang thinks that the county horse mansion is secretly showing favor to his subordinates, then the misunderstanding will be big, not to mention that the young master and Lu Zhixian have not met yesterday, So he lied.
Later, Steward Hu also asked him about the secret killing of Lu Fei by asking him a few days ago, and Zhang Rake told him that there was no urgency in this matter, and it was not child's play to kill the main hall of a place, and he had to think of a foolproof measure.
In fact, Zhang Rake at this time was not in a hurry to kill Lu Fei, because he wanted to use Lu Fei's life to regain trust in the county horse, and in a few days, this Lu Zhixian would do something that made King Ning and King Ning very angry, and then he would take Lu Fei's head to ask for merit from County Ma and King Ning, so that he would not only get benefits from County Ma but also earn the money of Steward Hu, thinking about Zhang Rake was proud.
Later, Steward Hu excused himself by saying that he wanted to see the fellow who served in the army, and wanted to go to Li Zhong, Zhang Rake asked him what his surname was, and Steward Hu made up a name casually, and Zhang Rake asked people to look through the roster and did not find such a person, so Steward Hu said that it might be that he changed his name in the army, so it was better to let him walk around the barracks to see if he could see this person, and Zhang Rake agreed to him.
But with the keen eye and suspicious character of a soldier, he seemed to see a trace of uneasiness from Steward Hu's flickering eyes, especially when he suspected that Li Zhong and Junma might murder him, at this time, Steward Hu came to the barracks just to say a bunch of polite words, and what fellow villagers did he want to meet, I had never heard of him in the army for so many years, so when Steward Hu was wandering around in the barracks, Zhang Rake secretly sent people to monitor to see who he was looking for.
