Chapter Seventy-Four: Suzhou Embroidery Competition

Lord Liu Fang had been beating his right eyelid hard early this morning, and he had a hunch that there was nothing good going on today.

In general, he has not carried it like these days in his life.

He felt that he should find a temple to worship and go to bad luck.

It's all done by that Moon Dream Silk!

Look at it, a good Suzhou mansion, smoky and miasma, what is this called?

Then a subordinate came to report that he had found traces of a wanted criminal at the city gate.

Liu Fang's face was first shocked, then happy, and finally bitter.

Shocked, these thieves are so bold that they dare to come back in broad daylight? The joy is that he can finally give an account to the prince, and he can also avoid Zhao Xuance a major crime; The bitter thing is that the soldiers at hand are really limited, how can you catch this?

Then the soldiers began to report the whereabouts of that group.

This is broad daylight, so bold! Dare to walk on the streets of Suzhou Mansion as if no one was around, is it really that there is no one in Suzhou Mansion?

It seems that there is really no one......

When Lord Liu Fang thought of this, he felt a little helpless in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, some people reported to the Suzhou government and wanted to receive a reward?

Get a fart reward!

No one is hiding, do you still need to report it?!

Wait......

This route, depending on the posture, is coming towards Suzhou Mansion!

Darn! What a lawlessness!

The lord feels that his majesty has been greatly challenged, and I want to see what happens to these bold thieves!

So Lord Liu Fang angrily took his "soldiers and horses" and walked to the entrance of the yamen, and saw Qi Zhen and his party, as well as the onlookers on the inner and outer three floors.

Hearing Lord Liu Fang's order, the few remaining soldiers stood behind the old man and looked at each other, without moving.

I heard that these people killed the shopkeeper of the clothing shop? Even children don't let go, how cruel must this be?

I heard that Liao Xun left Liao and killed Adjutant Liao by them?

That's a strong Lord Liao, how can we beat it?

In short, several soldiers glanced at each other, and completely lost the desire to rush forward.

They never thought that a few of them could have such a tacit understanding, and they could understand what each other was thinking just by looking at them.

Eyes and nose and nose and heart, as if adults did not speak.

Liu Fang saw that there was no movement beside him, and he was not lightly angry.

All right! I raised you for nothing!

If it's just on weekdays, so many people are watching here today, can't you make a show of showing the majesty of my Suzhou Mansion?

Belch~! You thieves too, you have to make a big fuss, so how can I, the master, come to the stage?!

The onlookers who didn't know the truth had already seen some clues at this time, and some regretted coming here to watch, especially those who sat down and the permanent residents of Suzhou Mansion, who all had retreated at this time.

Obediently, Lord Fu Yin has nothing to do with these murderers, and he is not holding a handle on us? If we wear small shoes in the future, this ...... Who can withstand it!

For a while, the onlookers were not here, nor were they leaving, and the atmosphere was very solid.

Lord Liu Fang needs steps, his subordinate soldiers also need steps, and the people around him also need steps.

"My lord, we are surrendering ourselves......" Qi Zhen really couldn't bear to see the atmosphere continue to stalemate, and said with his fists clenched.

"Oh? Wouldn't it be quick? Liu Fang said sharply.

Qi Zhen smiled freely, but she used her heart to communicate and said to Liu Fang.

"My lord, now in this situation, let's make trouble, I'm afraid that your face won't look good, why don't we take a step back?"

When Liu Fang heard this voice that sounded in his heart, he was stunned for a moment, and then his complexion quickly returned to normal.

Qi Zhen said loudly: "We have no intention of being disrespectful to the Lord and the Wang Fa, I am grateful for the truth of heaven, and my conscience is uneasy, please allow me to enter the hall to speak." ”

"Ahem...... Since you have repentance, and the official is not an unreasonable person, this rope binding can also be dispensed with, so come in and speak. Liu Fang said lightly, then turned around and went back to the main office.

"Hey, if the game were all that simple, how easy it would be for us." Yu Liang sighed.

The group followed Liu Fang into the lobby, and the accompanying soldiers began to disperse the crowd of onlookers and slowly closed the door.

Entering the main hall, Lord Liu Fang sat high in the hall, looking at the wanted criminals below who had appeared countless times on the portrait, and felt that his life was safe, and there was really no guarantee.

Let's just say that today's eyelid jumping is not a good thing, and it came true.

"This official is a serious Jinshi background, and he respects the laws of the imperial court, so don't mess around."

Liu Fang was the first to speak, but his voice was a little trembling.

"Lord Fu Yin doesn't need to be nervous, we didn't actually turn ourselves in, I just said that I surrendered, and it was also so that my lord could better appease the people." Qi Zhen clenched his fists and said.

"And what the hell are you doing here?" Liu Fang asked suspiciously, even more scared in his heart.

Qi Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and told Liu Fanghe what happened after the team came to Suzhou Mansion.

By the end of the story, it was noon.

“…… There should be a will in the court soon, and Lord Liu Fang doesn't have to worry. ”

Liu Fang didn't interrupt Qi Zhen's speech, even though these things seemed a bit fanciful to him.

Liao Xunli is an immortal cultivator? Zhao Xuance is dead? There is only half a battalion left in the soldiers of Yuemeng Mountain? King Xiangli is a demon? was also beheaded by the Shushan Sword Immortal? The mulberry snake has become a mountain god?

What kind of mess is this!?

Lord Liu Fang's mind was a little messy.

Qi Zhen took out Zhao Xuance's token and placed it in front of Lord Liu Fang.

Liu Fang was silent, looking at Qi Zhen and his party, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He already believed seven points in his heart, because Qi Zhen had no motive to deceive him, but he had to digest many things slowly.

"Three days later, it's the annual Suzhou embroidery competition, do you know what that means?" Liu Fang asked.

"It's bothering the adults." Qi Zhen said.

Liu Fang stopped talking, he arranged for Qi Zhen and others to live temporarily in the Suzhou Mansion, Qi Zhen thought about it and did not refuse Liu Fang's proposal.

A day later, all the soldiers of Yuemengshan retreated.

Two days later, the soldiers of Suzhou began to perform their duties, and the lanterns of the Suzhou embroidery contest began to be hung on the streets.

The Suzhou government informed the whole city that the Suzhou embroidery competition was held as scheduled, and all ready-to-wear shops and embroiderers and embroiderers were requested to prepare.

Before nightfall, Suzhou Prefecture received an urgent decree of 600 miles.

On the third day, several thieves were arrested at an unnamed shop, led by Zhao, on charges of illegal business, bribery of officials, and murder.

This shopkeeper Zhao and some of his subordinates actually acted according to Liao Xunli's instructions in the name of Zhao Xuance, and on the day Li San went to inquire about the matter of Yuemengshan, he came to the house of the shopkeeper of the clothing shop and poisoned the shopkeeper's family.

Suzhou Government once again notified the whole city that the Suzhou embroidery contest prohibits the use of Yuemeng silk, and the standard should be judged by the embroidery work, and this Suzhou embroidery contest, because the Lord Qincha temporarily accepted the summons of the imperial court, will not participate in the selection of the Suzhou embroidery competition.

Zhao Xuance, the city patrol department of Suzhou Prefecture, died of illness.

Led by He Bancheng, the wealthy households in Suzhou jointly issued a notice that the Suzhou embroidery competition should not only do hard work on embroidery, but also set up a special Suzhou embroidery food selection, which was jointly organized by the wealthy households in Suzhou and major restaurants in Suzhou, and invited the people of Suzhou to taste and buy at a discount.

For a time, the people of Suzhou Mansion were dazzled by this successive operations.

So much so that the death of Zhao Xuance, the absence of Lord Qincha, and the news of the cancellation of Qi Zhen's team's wanted did not stir up any splash among the people.

Some of these things that diverted attention were Qi Zhen's ideas for Suzhou Mansion, and more were Liu Fang's own ideas.

This made Qi Zhen feel that this Suzhou Mansion Yin was really good.

At noon on the fourth day, the whole city of Suzhou began to celebrate with the whole city, and a peaceful atmosphere began.

The agenda of the Suzhou embroidery competition is actually very simple.

On the square in front of Suzhou Mansion, the temporary shack became the venue of the competition, and the judges composed of Suzhou Mansion, Lord Qincha and local officials formed a team of judges, and the embroiderers embroidered the fabrics and sent them to the Suzhou Mansion, which was judged by the three parties and recommended the winners of the competition.

Different from previous years, this time, the judging seat was also placed in front of the Suzhou Mansion and was not in the Yamen.

In the absence of Lord Chincha, the referee was one less, but a woman who was found out of nowhere took the place of Lord Chincha.

No one can remember a certain face on the wanted portrait from her face anymore.

As Meng Ran, who has the highest art appreciation ability in the team, is no stranger to the techniques of Suzhou embroidery, and he is very professional at this moment.

The Suzhou embroidery contest did not end until the evening.

In the end, it was still the clothing workshop that won the championship of the Suzhou embroidery competition, and the Yiyuanzhai was still only in second place.

The shopkeeper of Yiyuanzhai was a little sullen, thinking that there must be an inside story in this.

And what the shopkeeper of Yiyuanzhai didn't know was that although the shopkeeper of the clothing workshop was Zhao Xuance's eldest brother, the owner of the clothing workshop had someone else.

The shopkeeper of the clothing shop thought that the owner was He Bancheng, but in fact, He Yuanwai had already found a reason for this industry two years ago and gave it to the wife and brother of Lord Yin Liu Fang of Suzhou Prefecture.

So in the final analysis, the garment shop is still the official business of Suzhou Prefecture.

Naturally, Yiyuanzhai can't compete with it.

In order to celebrate this good day of celebration with the city, Lord Yin Liu Fang of Suzhou Prefecture specially announced that Suzhou City would lift the curfew today, which once again aroused the cheers of the collective people in Suzhou.

The lights illuminate the night sky throughout Suzhou Province.

Qi Zhen and his entourage walked on the street, and they didn't have to worry about being recognized by the people of Suzhou Mansion under the lights.

And even if you recognize it, you won't be treated as a monster like before.

Because I can't take care of it.

It was also the first time that the team could stroll through the streets of Suzhou City without any pressure in their hearts, just like ordinary people.

It backfired, and when they saw the three figures in front of them, Qi Zhen and the others still couldn't believe their eyes.

Sang Yuan, the queen of the mulberry snake, brought her own pair of children and actually came to Suzhou Mansion.

Probably because the Mulberry Snake Queen became an immortal, the Mulberry Snake family will no longer burn their bodies by direct sunlight, and the family of three actually walked around Suzhou City for a day.

It's just that in order to avoid causing a commotion, all three people have properly covered their faces to prevent being watched by the people.

Sang Ying's expression was the most excited, and even Sang Xiong was extremely curious about the human landscape.

Seeing Qi Zhen and his party, Sang Yuan took her children to give a deep salute.

Qi Zhen hurriedly picked up the Mulberry Snake Queen, and everything was silent.

It turned out that after the Mulberry Snake Queen achieved the position of the earth immortal, she also had to communicate with the chief official of the imperial court about feng shui and luck, which also made the Mulberry Snake Queen, a mountain god who had just ascended to the immortal throne, a little overwhelmed.

A family of three came to Suzhou, and learned that today was the Suzhou embroidery competition, so it was naturally difficult to hide the excitement, and Sang Ying was clamoring to take a good look at Suzhou City, so she walked around and delayed until now.
