The house of the Snow Lotus family is a house with a bucket-type wooden frame, and the whole house has six patios, but there are only two courtyards before and after, because four of the patios are carved out to the left and right of the house and the main house, so each patio is connected to a courtyard, and the whole courtyard is square, like a big seal, which is called "a seal" in feng shui.

This mansion is not the ancestral property of the Yang family, Xuelian's mother remarried her cousin, how could the Yang family give her the ancestral property as a dowry. This is a house that the husband and wife bought after making a fortune in business, the original owner of this house was an official on the ancestors, and it has declined in this generation, and the feng shui mansion of "a seal" has not blessed the children and grandchildren of this family to be officials and make a fortune from generation to generation, and now it has become a businessman.

Xue Lian's biological father's surname is Chen, and his name is Da Yu. After Chen Dayu bought this dilapidated old mansion, he renovated the main house, and now the main house in the middle of the courtyard is his family's residence.

Xue Lian led Yang Fan to tiptoe towards the patio of the second courtyard, they went directly around the side courtyard, and there were servants at home who saw it, although they felt that Yang Fan was a living person, and saw that there was a young lady from his own house, so he didn't care.

Xue Lian arrived at the patio of the second courtyard of the main house, looked in through the cover of the colonnade and the flowers and trees in the courtyard, turned back and beckoned to Yang Fan, and Yang Fan hurried to catch up.

There are a few rattan chairs in the courtyard, and from Yang Fan's angle, I happened to see an old man wearing a white right shirt, a white turban wrapped around his head, wrapped in white leggings, and the corners and trousers were decorated with red, yellow, orange and pink. The old man did seem to be old, his hair and beard were gray, his face was wrinkled, and his ears were adorned with two strings of red ear beads, which swayed violently as he spoke, and his wrinkled face looked even thinner.

The girl sat on the wicker chair beside him, looking around, not listening to her father's conversation, but she had probably just been reprimanded by her father for leaving the banquet without permission, although she looked impatient. But he didn't get up and leave. Xuelian's biological father, Chen Dayu, was sitting with his back to Yang Fan. So I couldn't see his face for a while.

Yang Fan was a little strange when he saw this leader, he was already very old, although he looked at Qu Shuo, how could his daughter be so young? According to his age, it is almost the same to say that Xun'er is his granddaughter, but when he thought of the attitude of these leaders towards the more wives and concubines, Yang Fan was relieved.

This old man in white is naturally the leader of the white barbarian. Don't look at his age, his figure is not burly, but his voice is extremely loud, and he speaks standard Chinese: "Hey! The old man always felt that the officials in this place were greedy enough and their hearts were dark enough, thinking that the angels who came down from the court would be a little different, but he didn't expect it to be all the way. Even blacker than them! ”

The white barbarian's voice was so loud that if he couldn't hear what he was saying, he thought he was arguing with someone. He grabbed the teapot and poured it hard, turned to his daughter and said, "Put some more salt, it's too light!" ”

The head man handed the teapot to his daughter, turned to Chen Dayu again, and said in a loud voice: "The old man heard that the new Zhang Tingshi is an honest and good official, but he has never dealt with him. I didn't see him when I went to greet him today. said that he hadn't come back from the city of Chuzhou on a business trip, but now he estimates it. If you don't see it, you must be in vain. ”

Chen Dayu said: "Why did Xun Lao say this? This Qincha has just arrived in Wangzhou, and today it is the officials of Wangzhou who have held a banquet to catch him and wash the dust, he will not ask for money from Xun Lao in front of the public, right? ”

The head man took a sip and said: "You, you can never think of how thick-skinned and black-hearted those officials are, he just arrived in Wangzhou, and asked the old man for bribes in front of so many officials who took over the wind and washed the dust for him, not only asking for bribes, but also asking for righteousness and righteousness!"

The angel surnamed Huang heard that the old man was a tribal leader in Yaozhou, and immediately smiled, saying that he had long heard that Yaozhou was rich in placer gold and mountain gold, and that the current empress believes in Buddhism, but the Maitreya Buddha came to the world, and asked me to cast a pure gold Maitreya Buddha, and he wanted to bring it back to Beijing to dedicate it to the empress. Phew! To put it nicely, Zuihou is not going to fall into his own pocket. ”

Chen Dayu frowned and said, "It's not easy for him to deal with it under such a guise, if it's just for him, it's okay to cast a little golden Buddha and give it to him." Since he said that it was dedicated to the empress, this golden Buddha cast is not very good-looking if it is small, and this person is a little too greedy. Did Kaoru promise him? ”

The old man snorted and said, "If it's really close, maybe the old man will agree to him." But guess how big a golden Buddha he is? ”

The old man held Tai Chi with both hands, exaggerated a stroke outward, drew a big circle, and said, "Oh! It's that big! He said that he would cast such a big golden Buddha so that the old man could show his loyalty to the empress. The old man's clansmen, digging in the mountains and digging in the sand, had to work hard for five years without eating, drinking, wearing, or wearing to save so much gold, he really dared to ask for it! ”

Chen Dayu said in surprise: "He wants such a big golden Buddha?" Oh, my God! How dare he speak, then ...... Did Kaoru promise him? ”

The old man glared and said, "Promise?" How can you say yes? My whole clan is not young and does not eat or drink? Are they all bare-assed? Nanzhao and Tubo often have soldiers and horses attacking our people, and our armor and weapons are not bought or built? Old Hanken promised him that he would have a ghost! The old man didn't say a word, lifted his ass and left! ”

Yang Fan said in his heart: "It turns out that this old man's name is Xun Period, Xun ...... It seems to be a southwestern surname. ”

Chen Dayu sighed: "Alas! Xun Lao's temper, after all, does not know how to forbear, in case he annoys him, I am afraid that it will not cause you trouble. If the old man doesn't agree, he should be more euphemistic. Now that you are doing this, you will make him lose face in public, just afraid that he will hate you very much and trouble you in the future. ”

Kaoru sneered, "Why do you need it in the future? When the old man heard that he didn't speak like a human being, he raised his legs and left, and he immediately said something in a weird way, 'I came to Jiannan to investigate and deal with the case of rebellion'. When the old man can't hear that he is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger? ”

Chen Dayu was even more worried when he heard this, and complained with a long sigh that Xunqi's temper was too short-tempered.

Xun Qi glanced at him, and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about the old man, the old man here is the emperor of the soil!" He's not enough to see this angel, the old man gives him face, he is a Qincha, and if he doesn't give him face, he's a fart! ”

It seems that Xun Qi really didn't take Huang Jingrong in his eyes, and after complaining, he pulled the topic elsewhere, Yang Fan saw that there was no useful news to hear, so he signaled to Xue Lian, and the two of them quietly retreated.

Yang Fan secretly thought in his heart as he walked: "Huang Jingrong is really greedy. Carrying the hat of the top of the chincha and getting carried away. These leaders are all unruly. Who will be afraid of you? However, if he just searched for the rogue under the guise of investigating the outcasts, it would be easy to do, as long as he did not kill innocents in vain, other things could be slowly plotted. ”

Xue Lian followed Yang Fan away, seeing his contemplative expression, she was patient at first, but when she walked to Yang Fan's residence, she didn't see him speak. Xue Lian couldn't help it, couldn't help but tug at his sleeves, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yang, have you seen Uncle Xun's appearance, do you think that if Sister Xun'er's little brother looks like him, will he be very handsome?" ”

"Hmmm! Yes? ”

Yang Fan reacted. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Not bad, good-looking!" As soon as I looked at the appearance of that uncle, I could see that he must have been graceful and handsome when he was young! If Miss Xun'er's brother is cool and looks like Xiao Nai's father, then Miss Xuelian must have found a fast son-in-law and a wishful husband, haha......"

"Really?"

Miss Xuelian smiled: "Sister Xun'er said so, and Brother Yang said the same." Looks like the guy I'm going to marry is really good! ”

Wangzhou Governor's Mansion. Huang Jingrong took a sip of hot tea, sweet and sour. I tasted almost all the flavors at once. He frowned, he really couldn't stand the smell of the tea, so he put it aside casually, his expression was still a little stupid.

Luo Dudu smiled and said: "Huang Yushi is from Beijing, and he doesn't know the situation in this state. Those barbarian leaders, nominally belonging to the imperial court, are really like self-reliant kings. On weekdays, he is used to being arrogant, and he doesn't know the law of the court and the majesty of the Qincha, so Huang Yushi should not be as knowledgeable as him. ”

Luo Dudu's name is Luo Shudao, and he is a military general from the third grade, more than one level higher than Huang Jingrong, the servant of the imperial history. However, the people who come out of the capital, no matter how big or small the official position, foreign officials will not dare to offend easily, even if they are a seven-rank official, they often circle around the emperor, and they may be able to deliver the words to the emperor. Yushitai is famous, and Luo Shudao doesn't dare to ignore it.

Speaking of which, this state is a state of bondage, and Luo Shudao does not need to be so afraid of court officials. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is very large, and there are many such prefectures, more than 860 of them, far more than the inland prefectures that the imperial court can directly control.

The local military and political governors such as the governor and the assassin of Mizhou were all served by the local armed leaders who represented these places when they were attached to the imperial court, and then they were hereditary and passed down from generation to generation, just like the Tusi heads. This Luo Shudao is no exception, it is passed from father to son, son to grandson, and passed down from generation to generation, and most of such officials lack reverence for the imperial court.

It's just that Wangzhou has been attached to it for a long time, and the degree of assimilation is greater, and Luo Shudao's family is no longer the ancestor when he was both the governor of a state and the head of a clan, and the tribal leader with many brave private soldiers has degenerated into a complete bureaucratic family, so the dependence on the imperial court is becoming more and more heavy.

Not long ago, the Assassin of Wangzhou died of illness, because he himself had no son, several nephews wanted to inherit this position, as a result of a decree of the imperial court, a liuguan surnamed Zhang was parachuted here to serve as the assassin Shi, for the imperial court, this is an attempt to send a liuguan to try to further control the state.

Once this official assassin is stationed, the hereditary assassin history here will become history, and every assassin in the future will be appointed by the imperial court. This infiltration was also a threat to the hereditary Governor of Ratu, but he did not have the courage to fight against the imperial court and take charge of the assassin's family.

Now for Huang Jingrong, Luo Shudao is even more jealous, and even a little flattering. Seeing that Huang Jingrong's face was unhappy, Luo Shudao said: "Xun Qi is a rough man in the mountains and fields, and he doesn't know how to educate, Huang Yushi Mo takes his offense to heart. Well, Ben Governor will call him to make amends to you another day! ”

"No need!"

Huang Jingrong suddenly calmed down, he smiled at Luo Shudao and said slightly: "This official heard that Yaozhou has a lot of gold, so he had a strange idea, and wanted to persuade him to offer a golden Buddha to invite Bixia's heart, it was a good intention, and he refused to accept it." This imperial history is here to investigate and deal with the case of the rebellion of the exiles, and also asks the governor of Luo Du to cooperate. ”

Luo Shudao heard that he would no longer pursue the matter, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly agreed. Huang Jingrong smiled slightly, and had already made up his mind in his heart: "I must arrange the Xun period who doesn't know how to raise the rogue into the rebellion case, and take the dog's head on his neck, so as to eliminate this hatred!" ”

Huang Jingrong doesn't know much about the situation in the southwest, and he doesn't know how big these tribal leaders who dress like old farmers in the countryside are.

Talking and laughing with Luo Shudao, he seemed to have seen the heads of the Xunqi period fall to the ground, and those hillbilly-like toast heads were crying and shouting to give him money and women......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Yang Fan settled down in Chen Dayu's house, he went to the market to get acquainted with the customs of the place, and inquired about Huang Jingrong's movements.

The small town is not big, and the official leaders can fart and spread it all over the city within a moment or three. Huang Jingrong's reception banquet dispersed unhappily, and the news of the head of the Xun period had spread, and many citizens talked about it, and Yang Fan also stood aside to listen to them.

Hearing that Huang Jingrong had been taken into the Governor's Mansion and settled, Yang Fan expected that nothing would happen today. Huang Jingrong had just arrived, no matter how anxious he was, he had to communicate with the local officials first and get their assistance.

However, Huang Jingrong will not drag on for too long, with this fierce and thunderous style, if there is no movement in Netzhou within three days, then it proves that this Huang Jingrong is only going out on patrol this time for money, and does not want to kill people. Because they have verified that the rebels are making something out of nothing, it is impossible to investigate them carefully and look for real evidence.

Yang Fan decided to stay here for three days, and if he didn't see any bloody movements of Huang Jingrong within three days, he would leave immediately to see what the imperial historian in charge of the Daoliu people in Qianzhong was doing.

Outside the side gate of the Chen Mansion, Liu Junfan went and returned, just chatting with the old family of the Chen Mansion for a while, and extracting some news from the old family. He had already decided that Yang Fan was a charlatan, and now that this liar appeared in such a remote place, he obviously committed a crime and was wanted by the imperial court.

The words of the old family of the Chen Mansion also confirmed this, he is indeed a fugitive!

That's enough, can a fugitive who has no roots in this place escape the palm of his hand?

Liu Junfan left with a sneer, he made up his mind that he must inflict all the humiliation and pain he had suffered over the years on Yang Fan one by one!

P: In the early hours of the morning, I sincerely ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes! (To be continued.) )
