In recent days, rumors have been flying all over the city because of the prefect's popularity, and there seems to be a little more instability.

The common people did not trust the prefect as they did at the beginning, and once the hearts of the people in this city were unstable and they wanted to redeem it, it would be very difficult.

During this time, the prefect finally went out of the door. On weekdays, when everyone sees the prefect, they will respectfully salute him.

This time, he got out of the sedan chair, and although there were still people saluting him, the prefect found that there was a trace of suspicion and contempt in their eyes, but only that trace of respect was missing.

The prefect is angry in his heart, but there is nowhere to do it at this time. These people didn't do anything, and even if he wanted to be punished, he needed a proper reason. At the moment, he didn't have any reason.

At the end of the day, it's all the trouble that the Li Mansion has caused. If it weren't for them spreading rumors so wantonly, how could he, as a prefect, encounter such a thing. That Li Wenyuan is simply jealous of his status as a prefect, so he will make a big fuss about it, wanting to make him infamous!

The more the prefect thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, how could he not have noticed it before, this Li Wenyuan actually had such a thought, he clearly wanted to let himself fall off the horse, so that he could sit on the throne of his prefect smoothly. Otherwise, why does he have to cry on the street and complain about his miserable sales? Clearly come prepared!

If Li Wenyuan knew what the prefect was thinking, he would probably laugh angrily.

This prefect is really ridiculous, it is clear that he did such a hurtful thing, but he put all the fault on his head. The position of his prefect, do you really think everyone cares?

As the richest man, what does he want? What else is needed for that power? In his opinion, the position of the prefect is just thankless, and people who are used to being free and easy have never loved the twists and turns of this officialdom.

For Li Wenyuan, these things are just a burden.

The prefect walked a few steps on the road, and he could even detect the gazes of the people around him, as well as their pointing and whispering. Although these ordinary people did not dare to speak ill of the prefect blatantly, it did not prevent them from talking about him behind their backs.

The prefect was clearly aware of it, but he couldn't be angry.

Because as soon as he turned around, the common people immediately returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.

The prefect had never suffered such a loss, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he had to sprinkle all this anger on his guards, and he scolded lightly.

"Why don't you hurry up and help Lord Ben get into the sedan chair, why are you still stunned?"

The guard had already seen the true face of the prefect, and he didn't dare to say anything at this time, although he was dissatisfied, he still honestly stretched out his hand, bent down, and waited for the prefect to get on the sedan chair.

As soon as the prefect stretched out his hand, he lowered the curtain and cut off all eyes from outside.

If this is the sight, he wouldn't be here anyway. Those admiring eyes once made him feel so comfortable, and the suspicious eyes at this time made him feel disgusted.

He didn't even care about putting on a gentle posture on weekdays, he only hurriedly urged the guards to leave this ghost place quickly, he just wanted to go back to the prefect, only there could make him feel safe.

Looking at the sedan chair where the prefect left in a hurry, those ordinary people gathered together again and pointed at the sedan chair that was far away.

"The prefect is so fierce, can you see his eyes?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it, oh my God, I'm so scared that I don't dare to gasp, I've never shown such an expression in my life."

"If you want me to say, I'm afraid this is the true face of adults, he lied to us before!"

"It's not, the matter of the gambling stone shop, the adult hasn't given a reasonable explanation, maybe it's not sure, then Mrs. Pei was also forced away by him. Otherwise, why didn't there be anything to do when she was there, and as soon as this person left, there would be a moth immediately? It's clear that the adults are defrauding us of the silver two! ”

"I agree!"

A few ordinary people gathered together said with righteous indignation on their faces. Apparently, they had all gone to the gambling stone shop to gamble on stones.

However, when it comes to this matter, it is also the prefect's wrong.

This gambling stone was originally based on luck, but who knew that he accidentally hit the back and actually caused an incident in the east window.

The people who didn't succeed in gambling on the stone all pushed this pot on the head of the prefect, feeling that he did it behind his back that they would fail.

In fact, it's just a matter of luck and strength.

If the prefect knew what these people were thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. Who would have known that the gambling stone shop, which originally thought it would be able to make a lot of money, not only put money into it, but also lost its reputation.

If he had known at the beginning, he would never have done such a loss-making business. But in life, where are there so many regrets? Yes, it was just their own choice at the time.

The prefect returned to the mansion and went directly back to his own study. In the past few days, he really didn't feel any mood, even if he just stayed in the study, he felt upset and irritable. But outside, after today's events, he didn't want to go out even more.

Just thinking of a bunch of troubles, the prefect felt a pain in his head.

He was still anxious, not knowing what to do at this moment, when there was a sudden fluctuation in the air.

A man in black suddenly appeared in the study.

He knelt down on one knee at the prefect.

"Your Excellency."

When the prefect saw his right-hand man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "But there's news?" ”

The man in black raised his head and looked at the prefect's eager gaze, as if he wanted to say something, but finally nodded and took out a letter from his arms.

Before he could hand it out, the prefect had already hurriedly walked over, directly stretched out his hand and took the letter from his hand, unfolded the letter in three or two times, and looked at it carefully.

On the letter, there are still strings of complicated and difficult words, but the prefect reads it very seriously.

As he watched, his eyes lit up with joy, and he muttered to himself, "As long as they are willing to make a move, everything is not a problem......

The man in black looked at the prefect's expression, still maintaining his posture without any movement.

The joy on the prefect's face grew, and this was the best news he had received in these days. The prefect swept away the gloom of the past, and his eyes were full of joy.

"It seems that there is no endless road to heaven, and God can't bear to see me end up like this!"

When the prefect saw the end, he seemed to see something, and the joy on his face subsided slightly, and he muttered: "Hmph, it's really an old fox, and at this time, I can talk to Lord Ben about some conditions." ”

There was a hint of disdain in the prefect's tone, but obviously at this time, he had no choice but to accept this condition.

But the prefect had expected this to be the end, after all, he had already prepared when he put pen to paper to write this letter. Therefore, at this time, he did not have much emotion of surprise either.

Seeing that the prefect put down the letter in his hand, the man in black was quiet for a while, but he still asked, "My lord, have you already decided what to do now?" ”

When the prefect heard the man in black ask, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he asked rhetorically, "At this time, does Lord Ben still have a choice?" ”

He didn't know what he remembered, and the darkness in his eyes became more and more intense.

"If they hadn't pressed me like this, I wouldn't have done anything like this. In that case, even if both sides lose, Lord Ben will not let them go! ”

The prefect paused, and a hint of arrogance appeared in his eyes.

"What's more, Lord Ben doesn't think that Lord Ben will suffer. This time, let them know that it is great to provoke Lord Ben! ”

The man in black looked at the disdain in his master's eyes, and did not continue to speak, but lowered his head. No matter what the master does, he will follow without hesitation, this is his duty as a secret guard, that's all.

On this side, the prefect didn't know what to think, and on the other side, Li Qinghuan was staring at Lan Xin in the mansion.

Her round eyes stared at Lan Xin for a long time, Lan Xin was obviously a little lacking in confidence, she tried to accept Li Qinghuan's eyes at first, but later, she was really a little unbearable, she slightly glanced away, and her tone became stammering.

"Eldest Miss, why have you been looking at Lan Xin, could it be that Lan Xin has been in the garden for a long time, and her face has bloomed?"

Li Qinghuan stared at Lan Xin, his eyes full of inquiry.

Hearing Lan Xin's question, she replied very seriously: "If you really want to say it, it can't be regarded as a flower." ”

Before Lan Xin could ask, Li Qinghuan continued: "On your face, there is at most one - dog tail grass. ”

Lanxin: ......

Miss, who are you scolding!

She had an extra black line on her face.

"Miss, Lan Xin has been diligent recently, and she didn't provoke you, why did you say that about Lan Xin?"

Li Qinghuan narrowed his eyes.

"Are you sure you didn't do anything to provoke me?"

Lan Xin looked at Li Qinghuan's questioning gaze, and opened her eyes a little weakly.

"Lan Xin didn't do anything."

Could it be that she secretly went to the small kitchen to eat and drink yesterday and was discovered by the eldest lady?

No, she did it so secretively, and told the little maid not to say it. Could it be that she was betrayed by the little maid?!

Lan Xin couldn't help but be a little angry when he thought of this.

No, next time, she'll have to settle accounts with the little girl. But now, if you don't admit it, I'm afraid the eldest lady will be endless.

Therefore, in the end, Lan Xin honestly admitted it.

"Okay, eldest miss, Lan Xin admits that Lan Xin went to the kitchen to eat secretly yesterday, it was Lan Xin's mistake, please punish the eldest lady."

There was a hint of frustration on Lan Xin's face.

But after listening to Lan Xin's words, Li Qinghuan's expression did not change, but raised his eyebrows higher.

"That's not what Miss Ben said, but you're still being punished by me, and you actually ran to steal food? Lan Xin, it seems that you are still so bold that cleaning the garden can't satisfy you? ”

Lanxin: ......

Not this thing? Then didn't she confess to herself!
