73. Stupid and dull as a pig
"I arrived earlier, and as soon as I came, I had to ask the lower officials to hand over the people, but those few were all imprisoned with the seal of the Hou Ye, the lower officials, this can't be the master! Lord Zhan and Master Li were making trouble with people all morning, saying, ......"The county lord of Hui'an walked very fast, Qi Ping had to trot up, his big belly trembled, sweat flowed from his cheeks, and he didn't care about wiping it.
Probably because he was in a hurry, his voice trembled.
"He said he was going to arrest my Wen Ruo." The county lord of Hui'an sneered, not caring at all about the fact that there were so many subordinates and servants around him.
"I'd like to see who gives them the guts!" The county lord of Hui'an said, half a foot had already stepped into the threshold of the door of the mansion, Qi Ping looked at the coldness on her face, and shouted in his heart that it was over.
He hurriedly held on to his official hat and quickened his steps to follow.
Quan Rou followed the side of the county lord of Hui'an, and glanced sideways at Qi Junshou when he walked in with his head down.
The flesh on his round face trembled, and he looked like a typical corrupt official. However, according to what Quan Rou knew, this Lord Qi Ping was a rare Qing official when he was an official in Yingchuan, and he was also very conscientious after being transferred to Jinling, which was not at all the same as his appearance.
Is this man really loyal to the emperor as rumored?
Quan Rou couldn't be sure.
She was thinking about it, but Qi Ping suddenly looked at her, and the black and white in her small eyes reflected Quan Rou's appearance.
Then he bent his eyes and saw that he was smiling at Kwon Yau.
Quan Rou was stunned by this sudden smile, she and Qi Ping didn't know each other.
However, Quan Rou's body responded one step ahead of her head, and she also smiled at Qi Ping.
The little girl bent her eyes, covering all the features on her face that most resembled the power system, and looking at it now, it only made Qi Ping feel like she had seen an old man.
The words "Zhengda Guangming" in front of the hall came into view, and Qi Ping hurriedly collected other thoughts, and respectfully made a gesture of please.
The county lord of Hui'an said to the mighty people who followed behind him, "Give me some spirits,"
The county lord's honor guard could have been removed at the door, but the county lord of Hui'an insisted on bringing everyone in today. In addition to the two who played horses and gongs in front, there were more than 30 people who carried the palace flag and carried the sign.
Jasmine held the county lord's seal letter, bowed her head and followed aside, and Mama Yu and Mandarin Duck each followed half a step behind.
Looking at this appearance, it looks like someone has come to settle accounts.
As soon as the county lord of Hui'an gave such an order, everyone behind him immediately agreed to the word "yes" in unison, and the voice was very loud.
Quan Rou knew that this was done for the first two people inside.
Qi Ping also knew, so he only stood in front of the hall and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The county lord of Hui'an put one hand on Quan Rou's hand, and his eyes looked around the government office leisurely, and he had no intention of continuing to go in.
She doesn't move, no one dares to move here.
The county lord of Hui'an seemed to have been prepared, and asked someone to bring a chair up, pulling Quan Rou to sit down at this door, and the honor guard behind her also carried a low stool to sit down.
"I see that the sky is good, why don't you put a tea set up, let's enjoy the flowers here," the county lord of Hui'an stretched out his finger and pointed to the half-bloomed peach blossoms on the side, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiling.
Quan Rou naturally agreed, and suggested a little hilariously, "There are still Shuanglu in the car, why don't you call someone to pick it up, and I will accompany you for two rounds?" ”
"That's a good feeling!"
Saying that, there was really a little girl who turned around and went out to get something in the car.
Qi Ping felt a little weak in his legs, and the smile on his face turned bitter.
It's so laid-back outside the hall.
The two people in the hall could not sit still.
"Master, then the county lord of Hui'an won't come in at all......" The little guy who was sent out to invite people replied with a bitter face.
It stands to reason that when the county lord arrives, they should all go out to pick it up.
It's just that now there is news from Kyoto, the Chu Wangfu is difficult to protect itself, and when they came, they also made up their minds to be tougher and embarrass the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so that they can knock a sum of money from them, and by the way, kill the prestige of the Hui'an County Lord and the Jing'an Hou.
So Li Hong and James didn't move at all.
They thought about sitting inside, waiting for the lord of Hui'an to come in.
Then there is no need to salute.
I didn't expect the county lord of Hui'an to come out like this! Directly outside the tea set, what is this? Don't take them seriously at all!
Zhan's cheeks flushed with anger, "It's unreasonable!" The woman's family dared to insult the officials of the imperial court, when did my Da Zhou fall to this point! ”
Li Hong was not as angry as him, his fat body moved with difficulty, and beckoned his little servant to come over, "The county lord is here alone?" ”
The little guy hurriedly replied, "I brought the county lord's honor guard, and there is a little girl I haven't seen before, but Zhou Zheng is very ...... when she looks like it."
Girl? Li Hong touched his chin, "Mr. Zhan, who will be the person brought by the Lord of Hui'an?" ”
James is still angry, if he doesn't care about his image, I'm afraid that he will already scold. The frivolity between Li Hong's words annoyed him, if it weren't for the fifth prince to explain it himself, he wouldn't have said a word more to such a fool who only knows beauty!
But now I have to rely on him, James suppressed the impatience in his heart and replied, "In my opinion, it should be that girl from the right family!" ”
The Five Princes' Mansion is not completely empty, before Li Shunye had an accident, someone sent a message to the past, saying that the eldest girl of the Quan family was accepted into the Jing'an Hou Mansion by the county lord of Hui'an to live.
This Hui'an County Lord is not something that everyone is willing to get close to, she must have known the plans of the Five Princes' Mansion, so she stopped it! I really eat meat myself and don't give soup to others. James thought of the white silver of the Quan family, and he was so angry that he straightened his back molars.
Li Hong smiled obscenely, "The first beauty in Kyoto twenty years ago and the first beauty in Jiangnan Mansion today, I don't know, who is better-looking?" ”
"Your Excellency!" James couldn't help but shout, "Lord Hui'an, this is humiliating you and me!" ”
His eyes were red, and his hands were clenched.
These powerful families, the proud sons of heaven, will only trample people's self-esteem to the ground!
Li Hong in front of him is as stupid and dull as a pig, and he only knows beauty!
"I know, I know~" Li Hong didn't pay any attention to James's rudeness, of course, he didn't listen to his admonition at all, stretched out his hand to ask the two little guys to help him up from the chair, and then said with a big belly, "She is always the county lord, let's be cold for a while, she should also know that she is wrong, and if she is cold, it will make the beauty sad!" ”
As he spoke, he walked out.
James stood up abruptly, gritted his teeth, and followed Li Hong out.
