Gwangju Prefecture.

Several officials in official uniforms sat in front of the hall, and the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy.

"Lord Qi, Lord Li, what do you think about the matter of Zi County?" One of the older officials said, gesturing to a piece of paper on the table.

This is Bae Yeon, the prefect of Gwangju.

Pei Yan is more than half a hundred years old, he is old and steady, he has been honest and honest for many years, he is jealous and hateful, and he is fair, and he is known as Pei Qingtian.

Li Zhihuai and Qi Xu also had a piece of paper in their hands, on which many small characters were densely written, and they couldn't see it clearly if they didn't look closely.

"This matter that Lu Wu complained about involves Zhang Gonglian, the county commander of Zixian County, so it is naturally the most appropriate to hand it over to our government to decide." Qi Xu said, looking at Pei Yan, "On paper, it is said that Peng Ao, the chief bookkeeper of Zi County, forcibly occupied his ancestral home, Zhang Gonglian not only redressed his grievances, but also allowed Peng Ao to do evil, but Zhang Gonglian has sent someone to pay for it, this is Lu Wu's father Lu Laishan mortgaged Peng Ao to borrow money, and he still has the certificate of mortgage on the ancestral house and the title deed of the ancestral house in his hand." ”

These papers were pasted at the door of the government office early this morning, and they were pasted all over the wall, and they were all written on the matter of Lu Wu, a citizen of Zi County, suing the county order and the master book of Zi County.

"This matter still needs to be investigated in Zi County." Li Zhihuai frowned and said, "The dispute between the people and the officials has always needed to be paid attention to and properly resolved, otherwise it will lead to greater conflicts." ”

This was the case in the west back then.

"That's true." Pei Yan nodded: "When the people are safe, the country is safe, and the officials are prosperous." In that case, let's go to Zi County. ”

Li Zhihuai, Qi Xu and others responded.

After a few people had discussed the matter, it was already an hour later, and they were about to go out of the hall to arrange the matter, when Alin hurriedly came to salute, saying that there was something important to report.

"If you have something important, Master Li will go back first." Pei Yan waved his hand and said, "Just don't forget, I'm going to Zi County tomorrow." ”

This time, Pei Yan has handed over the task of investigating in Zixian County to Li Zhihuai, and when he understands the whole story from Zixian County, investigates the cause and effect, and then makes a final decision.

Alin, who had always looked flat, looked anxious at the moment, which really surprised Li Zhihuai, but since it was an important matter, it was obviously inconvenient for others to hear, so Li Zhihuai hurriedly retreated.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Li Zhihuai crossed the threshold and asked Ah Lin, he saw Li Ge, who was tired and panting and sweating profusely.

I instantly had a bad premonition in my heart.

"Second master!" Seeing that there was no one around, Li Ge hurriedly told him what had happened, "There is a person who came to the mansion to report that the third lady met an assassin on the way back from Huasuitang......

"What?"

Li Zhihuai stumbled, his face instantly turned pale, "Assassin? ”

"Second master, don't worry, the third lady is fine." After Li Ge finished speaking, he was afraid of being interrupted, so he immediately said, "Steward Li has already brought Li to escort them with that person, and he asked me to come over to report to the master." ”

Hearing that Li Mingyun was fine, Li Zhihuai was really relieved.

"But where is that place?" He said, "I'm going to go first, Yun'er must be frightened." ”

Although his expression returned to calm, his face remained tense, and he still looked worried.

What a good father who loves his daughter.

Li Ge sighed and replied: "On the way to Suizhou, Steward Li has already instructed them to leave marks along the way, just because I am afraid that the second master will not find it for a while if he wants to go!" ”

I have to admit that Steward Li is thoughtful, comprehensive, and not panicked, and handles everything in an orderly manner.

Being able to catch up with the old lady's status in the past few years after returning to the house can catch up with the old lady's valued housekeeper, which shows that he is indeed outstanding.

"Then let's go over, Li Ge, and you go with me." Li Zhihuai instructed Alin to drive the carriage and bring a few henchmen and guards.

Now I don't know the whole story, if I rashly bring a group of officers and soldiers to go, I am afraid that it will be bad for Yun'er to find out when the time comes.

My heart was full of panic.

He was afraid that it was Yao Pu's handiwork, but he knew that Yao Pu would not act easily before he found out something, so he was relieved to let Yun'er out of the house.

I didn't think about it, but something went wrong.

He sighed.

……

……

The shadows of the trees in the forest were sparse, and they were soft and warm on the woman who sat quietly on the stones.

"Ming Yun."

Li Yuewu beckoned to her not far away, and then walked slowly with Qiu Qing.

When Xue Yan went to see them, she had already woken up, but because she was afraid of those killers, she asked Xue Yan to go back and stay by Li Mingyun's side first.

At this time, she and Qiuqing rested, and came to meet them.

"Are you all right?" Li Mingyun stood up and said, seeing that Qiu Qing had a wound on her forehead, he hurriedly walked over to care for her, "Qiu Qing, you are injured." ”

Qiu Qing shook her head and rushed over to cry: "Miss, fortunately you are fine, you were scared to death on the carriage, and the maid thought that something had happened to you...... If anything happens to you, the servant will not live...... Wow......"

The crisp cry was especially piercing in the woods, and the words were slurred, so noisy that the eardrums of the people sleeping in the trees seemed to be pierced by countless needles.

"Hey, don't cry!" Zhou Yunzhen, who was leaning on the branch, frowned to express her dissatisfaction, "It's noisy!" ”

The sound reverberated louder than the maid's cry, and it seemed to startle the birds in the trees away.

Qiu Qing suddenly stopped crying, and looked at the tree with watery eyes, only to see a dark shadow hidden among the branches and leaves on the high branches.

"That's what you do." Zhou Yunzhen covered her ears, tilted her head and threw a leaf at the maid under the tree, "Besides, isn't your young lady still dead!" ”

The fluttering leaves hit Qiu Qing's head with a strange force, Qiu Qing was stunned for a moment, and the big cry of wow woke again.

"Oops, mistakes, mistakes!"

Zhou Yunzhen was a little embarrassed to see the little maid crying again, he jumped down from the tree, wanted to apologize but couldn't help but be amused by this incident, so he had to pretend to be the floor.

"Why are you crying, it's just a leaf, and it doesn't hurt!" He said with a frown.

The crying lasted for a long time, resounding in the sky, and it was not until Li Mingyun patted Qiu Qing's shoulder to comfort Qiu Qing that it stopped.

"Don't cry, Qiuqing."

Chunyu also shook her hand awkwardly.

Shouldn't treat Miss's life-saver like this, besides, it's just a leaf falling on the shoulder, it won't hurt so much that people cry, right?

Qiu Qing raised her hand to wipe the tears that were rolling down, and said while sobbing, "Miss, he said that you are not dead yet...... Wow...... But the maid almost died at the thought of you...... Whining...... The servant is ...... I want to cry ......."

The words were intermittent and mixed with all kinds of strange cries, and Zhou Yunzhen had a hard time hearing what she said.

"I cried because of my words." He suddenly realized, "I thought it was this leaf that made you want to cry!" ”

After that, he flew up to the tree again, clasped his hands behind his head, and said slowly, "I'm right, I'm living a good life." ”

The voice is much quieter, much like I am muttering to myself, which is usually the way people speak when they are thinking about the feelings of others.

Li Mingyun glanced at the tree, and when he saw him settle down, he couldn't help but smile and retract his gaze.

"Don't cry." She touched Qiuqing's head, "I'm fine." ”

Then he looked at her and repeated word by word, "Qiuqing, we're all fine." ”

And smiled at her as a sign of reassurance.

This action really made Qiu Qing stop crying, she nodded with red eyes, and answered "yes" vigorously.

She pointed to the person who was tied up not far away and said, "Miss, is that what they did?" After that, his fingers scanned the man in black who fell to the ground in front of him, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"Hmm." Li Mingyun nodded, "It's them, don't be afraid, they can't wake up yet." ”

Even if they woke up, they wouldn't be able to beat Xue Yan, not to mention, there was this Zhou Yun to help them.

"Miss, just let the master arrest them all......"

"Don't talk!"

Zhou Yunzhen interrupted them in a low voice, looking into the distance, "Someone is coming." ”
