After a long time, the two looked at each other and smiled, and there was something shining in each other's eyes.

"Lord Lu, I'm worried about you."

"It's me who didn't protect you."

Seeing her lose weight like this, it was strange that Lu Tingxiu was not distressed, "How did you survive a few days?" ”

"I don't know, it was not long before Master came, I suddenly woke up like a thunderbolt."

After getting along for a long time, you can judge which sentence is true or false, based on feelings. She refused to say it, because she didn't want him to worry about blaming herself. It wasn't your average nightmare, or she wouldn't have been able to wake up for so long.

"How's your business?" I haven't seen her for a few days, and she's not the only one who is thin.

"The prefect has promised to give me the prisoners, but the specific details will be discussed again, and the transfer and escort of thousands of prisoners is a big project, and it is not child's play to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Xia Qiu was curious why Hu Yuanxu's attitude was completely different. If he was really so generous, he would not have robbed Lin County of the credit before.

What's even more strange is that the relationship between the Hua family and the Hu family is not the same. In the past, Hua Feng was secretly muddying the waters for major events related to the stability of Lin County, so how could he stand by and watch this time.

This really confuses Xia Qiu.

Hua Feng is now involved in the puppet corpse, Xia Qiu can't ask if he wants to, but Lu Tingxiu feels that it is a matter of court secrets, and his mouth is very tight.

Xia Qiu was so angry that he punched him directly.

Lu Tingxiu was beaten to a tightness in his chest and looked uncomfortable.

"Load, keep loading." Xia Qiu punched him again, and shouted: "Don't say it again, believe it or not, I've made a big move." ”

Lu Tingxiu smiled and pulled her over and rubbed her into his arms, "Can you be gentle, do you want to murder your husband?" ”

"You forced it." Xia Qiu pouted aggrievedly, "You guard me everywhere, like a wolf." ”

"Don't think nonsense, it's just that as a court official, I must abide by the system."

Xia Qiu glanced at him, "Then you can be your court official, I won't serve." ”

She got up to leave, but Lu Tingxiu pulled her back again, "Look at your temper." ”

Xia Qiu snorted coldly: "Don't you have to abide by the system, don't get too close to me, be careful that I leak secrets to you." ”

"Angry?" Lu Tingxiu couldn't help but smile.

It's strange that Xia Qiu dumped him.

"Okay, I'll tell you that it's not enough." She finally escaped from the nightmare, Lu Tingxiu was willing to make her angry, he was just teasing her just now.

Xia Qiu choked him, "Won't you be afraid of leaks?" ”

"You are not an outsider, you are my brainstorm, my right-hand man, an indispensable person." When he said this, Lu Tingxiu's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Look, his mouth is like honey, when did he make people so happy?

Xia Qiu scratched his squeaky socket, "Say it quickly." ”

Lu Tingxiu was afraid of itching, so he hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Hu Yuanxu actually didn't plan to give me the Feng family from the beginning. ”

"And you're still here?" Is this a long life, do you have to fight against the top boss?

"If the court decrees, Hu Yuan has to give it if he doesn't give it, but it just takes a little more effort."

No wonder he has no fear, it turned out that he was relying on the support of the imperial court, but what Xia Qiu didn't understand was that he lacked people to reach out to Liangzhou to ask for it, and he could ask for other prisoners who were lightly served, why did both sides compete with the Feng family?

"The Feng family is different from ordinary people, they are the remnants of anti-thieves, with hatred in their bones, and under the brainwashing of several generations of family heads, they are used to deal with the chess pieces of the imperial court, and the imperial court is also quite jealous of this chicken bone in the throat. Although there are only thousands of people, if they are instigated or used, it is really a big trouble. ”

A word woke up the dreamer, but in fact, the Feng family had already become a pawn in the competition between the two forces. After all, fifty years have passed, and the imperial court has not caught any evidence of direct rebellion by the descendants of the Feng family, if they are all slaughtered openly, it will inevitably cause public anger again.

To kill or not to kill is a diaphragm, not so much that the court is indecisive, but that the new emperor has his own measurements.

Xia Qiu was in a peaceful corner and didn't understand the situation in the imperial court, but Lu Tingxiu couldn't be clearer. When the new emperor ascended the throne, the power fell beside him, and every step had to be considered.

The key to the southwest is enough to shake the country's foundation, which is also the purpose of Lu Tingxiu's cultivation.

"Since the Feng family is so important to the people behind Hua Feng, why didn't they take it all together in the first place?"

People's hearts are like this, even if they know that they are chicken bones, they can naturally become treasures if they rob more people. The court wants the Feng family, killing can be peaceful, pardon can win the hearts of the people, and people can be jealous. This ambiguous attitude naturally makes people with a heart ponder and be suspicious.

But Xia Qiu still didn't understand why Hua Feng changed his mind and secretly contributed to this thing that should have been opposed.

"The Feng family, now it's a double-edged sword." Lu Tingxiu lowered his head and played with Xia Qiu's fingers, and said without hurry: "The post road is Hua Feng's taboo, and the integration of the Feng family into the construction army is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger, once they rebel, it will inevitably bring immeasurable disasters to the post road, at least it will be delayed to complete, and at worst, the post road will be heavily damaged and cannot be repaired." ”

Xia Qiu was suspicious: "But aren't they worried that you are well-governed, and the Feng family will not rebel?" ”

"If the Feng family is turned into puppet corpses, the 20,000 laborers on the road will be the first to rush and become a hotbed for puppet corpses."

It turns out that they are waiting here, and their intentions are really sinister.

Xia Qiu listened to the back of the spine chills. That's right, those laborers are all strong and strong, and they are the best candidates to make puppet corpses. There are 20,000 puppet corpses, and they are all on the main roads of Lin County, not far from various villages and towns, and they can directly make dumplings in Lin County.

"In that case, why do you still insist on having to be the Feng family?"

"The grass is deep and there is no snake, how to get off the stick?" Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.

Waiting is not Lu Tingxiu's style, he likes to strategize and take the initiative in his own hands.

However, this is a dangerous move after all, and if the chess is wrong, it will be doomed.

"There is no choice in this battle, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole."

That's right, but Xia Qiu still can't help but worry. She leaned lightly on his shoulder, "If only I could help." ”

"You've helped me enough." Lu Tingxiu held her hand, and his ten fingers were tightly interlocked, "I came to Lin County empty-handed, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would still be blind." You don't have to worry about the prisoner's affairs, just leave it to me, but I don't understand the puppet corpse, so I'll bother you. ”

"You're so many, aren't you worried that the person suspects you're luring the snake out of the hole?"

"Naturally, he will be suspicious, but he is even more suspicious that the new emperor wants to win the loyalty of the courtiers by influencing the Feng family."

Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken.

Okay, she doesn't have Lu Tingxiu's brain, so she can do what she can.

After chatting about the matter, Lu Tingxiu began to ask about private matters, "Did Hua Ting do anything to you?" ”

"What can he do with me?" The corners of Xia Qiu's mouth pulled out a stiff smile, "I eat and drink every day." ”

If he is not blind, how can he not see that Xia Qiu has something on his mind. In front of him, she has always been unguarded, and since she is unwilling to say it, it must be inconvenient to say it.

Xia Qiu picked up the pen and wrote out the ledger seen in the secret room silently, "You take a look." ”
