"Come in, come in." Tian Qi reacted, explained to his apprentice to look at the medical hall, and welcomed them into the front hall.

"It's a big place here, we women chat here, and there is a place for the children to play, so you can find another place to chat." Ruan Xiaoman pushed Lu Yuanfeng.

Tian Qihu looked at Ruan Xiaoman and Lu Yuanfeng suspiciously, and always felt that the two of them came prepared, both of them were the kind of people who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Any guest is fake, Tian Qi still followed Ruan Xiaoman's meaning.

Lu Yuanfeng, Hu Xianling, and Tian Qi were discussing in the side hall in the study, while Wei Ning was vigilantly guarding the door.

Lu Yuanfeng made a long story short, and directly offered the jade pendant, "In this situation, I can't think of anyone else who can defend the people of this city except you, and we ordinary people don't want to see the scene of life being ruined." ”

Hu Xian Ling patronized the study of the jade pendant, and when he heard Lu Yuanfeng say this, his breath stagnated, and he actually took a hot potato.

"You're not afraid of death?" Hu Xianling looked at Lu Yuanfeng faintly, it really gave him a big problem.

He has been the county magistrate of Yuzhi County for a long time, and he finally has some political achievements but encounters this mess, is he willing?

Maybe it's still a little unwilling, after all, Gongsun Changqing's position is not the emperor's intention, but the meaning of the traitor, if he is a little careless, he is afraid that he will get into trouble, not to mention the reinstatement of the official, now he has a better choice.

But this is also a very dangerous choice, Hu Xianling hesitated.

He actually didn't have any sense of existence in the Hu family, so he was able to leave the Hu family and settle here.

If he loses his position, the Hu family is afraid that no one will dare to run for him.

But he can't lose his official position like this, he still has a wife and children, and he doesn't want them to suffer with him.

One is prosperous, one is lost, how big is the temptation of this multiple-choice question in front of him, how great is the danger behind it, Hu Xianling's hand loosened slightly, but soon clenched it again.

"How sure are you?" Tian Qi saw Hu County's choice, and asked Lu Yuanfeng very rationally.

"Half and half." If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and the chances of success and failure have always been half and half, Lu Yuanfeng gave his own answer without thinking too much.

This answer was really in line with his usual style, and Tian Qi rolled his eyes directly.

"I listen to Hu County's order for this, if it is useful to go to a certain place in Lu, please do not hesitate to give orders." Lu Yuanfeng said respectfully to Hu County.

"Really." Hu Xianling thought about it for a while, and already had some ideas.

Many years ago, he privately tried a Fengyue case, a widow who lived alone in the west of the city died suddenly, but she was pregnant when she died, but the neighbors said that she stayed at home, and later it was found that the lover dug a secret passage to the widow's room.

The widow lived outside the city, and occasionally found such a secret passage, I don't know who dug it, probably because of the change of dynasty, the reason has long been unknown, but it is convenient for the two of them.

Later, because the widow was pregnant, the man was unwilling to give up his wife and children and elope with the widow, and as a result, he became murderous.

A secret passage turned out to be the key to the man's alibi.

Later, the case was solved, the secret passage was sealed, and it was estimated that it could still be used, so this matter was handed over to Lu Yuanfeng.

As for Tian Qi, he acted as his messenger, and only he was convenient to wander the streets and alleys of the county at this time.

Now there are two inspectors in the county town who are in charge of order in the city, and there are about 200 people under their hands, plus the large and small officials in the yamen, there are still less than 300 people.

Hu County Ling and Cheng Patrol also have private dealings, and they can't be said to be good friends, but seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the choice that ordinary people tend to choose, not to mention that the one above is orthodox, not something that can be slandered by the third prince with a few slanderous words.

Another Chen Inspector has been replaced, but these generals will always have some loyal subordinates, Hu Xianling knew that this battle was already burning his eyebrows, so he didn't dare to be careless, and discussed with Lu Yuanfeng and Tian Qi for a long time before ending the talks.

Hu Xianling never dreamed that he would one day rely on Tian Qi to complete this big thing.

Not only Tian Qi, but also Ruan Xiaoman, the person she was responsible for the appointment was Lin Zhutou.

And Tian Qi was responsible for making an appointment with the two inspectors to get together in Jishitang.

Lu Yuanfeng and Ruan Xiaoman left Jishitang, although the purpose of this trip had been achieved, no one could guarantee that the result would be as they wished, and they were uneasy.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." A ragged beggar accidentally bumped into Lu Yuanfeng and ran away in a panic.

Lu Yuanfeng subconsciously touched the money bag, but fortunately the money bag was not lost, but he still felt a little unlucky.

When he returned to the room to change clothes, Ruan Xiaoman saw a small note floating from Lu Yuanfeng's body, "You dropped something." ”

He didn't drop anything, Lu Yuanfeng looked down and picked up the note to look.

The rebels entered the city about two days later, and the large team ordered to exterminate the rebels was slowed down by a cavalry, and it is estimated that it will be a day or two slower, defend the city, one day, two days, if it is only to defend these two days, it should be no problem, but I am afraid that it will cause extraneous branches.

The people of the three princes dragged a large team, while Wu Changqing dragged the people of the three princes, fighting fiercely in Hengshui and near Yunshan Temple in Yuzhi County.

It was Wu Changqing's person who handed them the letter, and there were only a few words on the note, and the handwriting was sloppy, as if it had been written in a hurry, "The storm will come in two days." ”

There is not much time left for them, Lu Yuanfeng and Ruan Xiaoman are more and more worried, the secret road will be their way out, but if the soldiers are coming to the city, it will not be easy to retreat.

However, it was not so easy to defend, and they chose a dangerous path.

Ruan Xiaoman prepared a makeup box for Zhu Qiao to send to Hu Min'er, and passed the sentence on the note to Hu County.

And she originally planned to go to see the Lin family lady tomorrow, but she changed her mind.

Lu Yuanfeng and Ruan Xiaoman went out together, as well as Zhu Qiao, but after Zhu Qiao sent them to the Lin family, they went to Jishitang.

Wei Ning went to take charge of the secret passage, and Lu Yuanfeng was not worried that Ruan Xiaoman would go to Lin Zhutou's house alone.

Lin Zhutou was not at home, Ruan Xiaoman was anxious, but had to wait for him to go home.

The lady of the Lin family saw Ruan Xiaoman's solemn expression, and thought that she was not good.

Ruan Xiaoman comforted her, but she still didn't wait for Lin to catch her head.

"I have a recipe that has a good effect on your wound healing, but I don't have so many medicinal materials in my hands, so I may have to trouble Lin Zhutou to go to Jishitang to grab a pair of medicines, and I must let him go to Jishitang in person." Ruan Xiaoman repeatedly advised.

They didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that it would attract attention, but it would not be good.

The lady of the Lin family watched Ruan Xiaoman leave as if she didn't understand.

It was getting dark, and Lin Zhutou didn't get home until Ruan Xiaoman and they had been away for more than an hour.

Seeing his wife and children well is probably his greatest comfort, and all the fatigue is worth it.
