Chapter Seventy-Two: Taking Advantage of the Void
Lu Xilong is "free", where can he have time to take care of it? casually said: "Even His Royal Highness the Fierce King doesn't protect her, what is it if she is not degraded?" ”
On the contrary, it was Cui's, who heard the voice as if he was about to be a savior, and blurted out the sentence "Your Highness".
Lu Xilong didn't seem to believe it, but stopped his movements and looked at Cui Shi with a sneering face: "Stinky girl, I think you are delusional, Your Highness, which Highness dares to take care of Lao Tzu's housework?" ”
After speaking, I only heard the person behind him sneering like a Yama ghost: "Oh? Is it? But the king has to be in charge today. ”
This familiar aura is...... Lu Xilong suddenly felt a chill in his back, so he completely gave up the idea of being light and thin, and turned around slowly and tentatively.
But he guessed the unlucky thing, and when he turned around to meet the pair of fierce eyes, Lu Xilong was simply scared and lost seven souls.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the grass people, the grass people don't know that Your Highness is here in person, and they are not welcomed." Lu Xilong has always been clever in his words, but now he is so stammering that he can't even say a complete sentence.
Gu Huanli didn't pay attention to him, but stepped forward to help Cui Shi sit down with a kind face, and asked with concern: "Mrs. Lu is okay." ”
Cui Shi shook his head, Xu was a little frightened, and he didn't say a word to Gu Huanli.
Gu Huanli had some time at this time, and then turned back to look at the trembling man on the ground, but at this time, the kindness on his face had already been washed away by the fierce aura.
"Missing the distance? The king is curious, this king came to the Lu Mansion in person, and Mrs. Yan Zhi has not spoken, why do you need to welcome you from afar? Gu Huanli responded to Lu Xilong's words.
Lu Xilong was terrified, and hurriedly crawled in front of Gu Huanli, kowtowing and saying: "What His Highness has taught is that His Highness has taught me, but I don't know, His Highness is here, what is the matter?" ”
Lu Xilong did not change his life, he looked scared on the surface, but in his heart he was actually complaining that Gu Huanli had ruined his good deeds.
Gu Huanli immediately frowned: "Is this what you should ask?" This king sees that you have clearly not remembered the lesson of the king. ”
At this time, Cui's family almost eased up, and then got up and went to Gu Huanli: "The people have seen His Highness, and there have been many disrespects, so please forgive Your Highness." ”
"Mrs. Lu's words are serious, it is this king who is abrupt." Gu Huanli looked kind again, and the two faces switched freely.
Naturally, he wouldn't blame Cui's loss of honor, after all, the person who really lost his honor had not spoken.
At the same time, Lin Wei also hurried back to the house with the rice cakes.
As soon as the rice cake entered the door, he rushed to Cui's side: "Madam, the rice cake is coming back late, please punish Mrs." ”
Cui Shi hurriedly picked up the rice cake and asked in a low voice, "You girl, didn't you ask you to invite your cousin?" Why, how did I invite His Highness? ”
Hearing this, the rice cake couldn't help but glance at Gu Huanli: "This, this ......"
But I heard him ask Lu Xilong: "This king is entrusted by Lord Lu to take care of the Lu Mansion, but I am curious that you are ......."
When Lu Xilong heard this, it was like five thunderbolts: For Lu Xuan? But didn't they part ways a long time ago, how could they ......
"Smack"! Seeing that Lu Xilong didn't reply, Gu Huanli slapped his palm impatiently on the mahogany desk, and everyone trembled.
Lu Xilong himself almost buried his head in the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness Mingjian, the grass people are just here to visit Mrs., and the grass people are ......."
Before Lu Xilong finished speaking, Lin Wei had already pulled out the long sword on his waist suddenly: "Presumptuous!" How can you sophistry in front of Your Highness? ”
"Girl." Gu Huanli looked at the rice cake: "You will say what you just said to this king in the palace." ”
The rice cake trembled, looked at Gu Huanli, and then looked at Lu Xilong, unable to say half a word.
Until Lin Wei spoke: "Rice cake girl, just say it directly, Your Highness is in charge for you." ”
In this way, the rice cake plucked up the courage and raised his eyes to look at Gu Huanli: "Your Royal Highness, my son-in-law often came to the door to humiliate when he was in the house, and now he is even ...... to his wife while his son-in-law is far away."
The rice cake is not finished, but the meaning to be expressed is very clear.
Gu Huanli nodded at this time, and then spoke again: "Lin Xiao, what should I do if I trespass into private houses and rob women of wealth according to the laws of the Criminal Department?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, according to the law of my criminal department, you should be sentenced to fifty days with a cane and three days with water."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lu Xilong was already wailing, but what kind of character was Gu Huanli to provoke?
"Then what if this person broke into the mansion of the court officials and deceived the relatives of the court officials?" He had a tone of Yama's life.
Lu Xilong's heart suddenly hung in his throat, until he heard Lin Wei's sentence "Crime is one more degree", and he passed out directly before he had time to beg for mercy.
"Your Highness, this ......" Lin Wei looked at Gu Huanli, only to see that he immediately waved his hand.
Only then did Lin Wei signal to his subordinates to take them away.
Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Cui Shi got up: "Thank you Your Highness for coming to the rescue, the women are grateful." ”
"Mrs. Lu doesn't have to be polite, this king is just entrusted by Lord Lu, since Mrs. Lu is okay, this king will go back to the house first."
Gu Huanli turned around and was about to leave, but he seemed to think of something again, and then stopped.
"Lin Wei, dispatch people from the palace to protect the Lu family, if anyone dares to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, they will be punished for disobedience to the king."
Lin Wei received the order, and Gu Huanli walked away.
On the other side, Xie Qingshan was punished by Lu Xuan, and although the injury was no longer serious, he also had a lot of dissatisfaction with her in his heart.
It's just that after Lu Xuan's cane scolded Qingshan the day before yesterday, the officials didn't dare to target her openly, they just put on a lazy appearance and told her to stay awake everywhere.
Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to it, and now she can't receive any cases, so she simply calms down and asks Feng Wukuan for the files of previous cases.
Until Xie Qingshan and the others couldn't find a reason to embarrass Lu Xuan, and took the initiative to pick quarrels and provoke trouble-
On this day, Feng Wukuan went out, and Lu Xuan was looking through the file in the house as usual, but he heard a mess outside for no reason.
Listening carefully, Lu Xuan vaguely heard the news about the government going to the water, and hurriedly went over to check.
But when she ran all the way to the front yard, not only did she not see any sparks, but there was not even a single figure, Lu Xuan was confused for a while: "Did I hear it wrong?" ”
With such suspicions, Lu Xuan returned to the room, but the scene in front of her shocked her.
I saw that the files that had just been neatly placed were scattered all over the ground at this moment, and what made her feel even more devastated was that the originally neat and unstained ground was now covered with ink.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, but some places on the file had already been soaked in ink that had fallen to the ground.
"How so?" Lu Xuan was anxious, and muttered to himself while cleaning up.
Coincidentally, Xie Qingshan's group was already standing behind Lu Xuan at some point.
Seeing the mess in front of him, Xie Qingshan, who was the leader, suddenly put on a disgusting face.
"Oh, why is Lord Lu so careless, and he actually ruined the file that my government has treasured for many years into this picture, if this is seen by Master Feng......"
Lu Xuan still had no clue about what was in front of her, but at this moment, listening to the thief's words of catching the thief, she was completely clear.
She immediately stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at Xie Qingshan with an indifferent face, and couldn't help but make the other party feel a little weak.
"Xie Zhutou is really clever." Lu Xuan said pretendedly.
Xie Qingshan was puzzled: "What do you mean, don't you want to blame me for this matter again?" ”
Lu Xuan sneered, and he didn't know how this idiot became a head catcher.
"Xie Zhutou misunderstood, Lu was just curious, how could Xie Zhutou know that my file was blown to the ground by the wind, and not that someone deliberately did it?"
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Xie Qingshan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of panic: "It's not the wind, it can't be Lord Lu deliberately destroying the file." ”
This person has no skills, but his skin is first-class thick.
Lu Xuan didn't bother to detour with him: "Someone deliberately deceived the official with the words of going out of the water, and then knocked over the ink table and overturned the file, do you dare to say that you don't know anything about this matter?" ”
In the face of Lu Xuan's questioning, although Xie Qingshan could not hide his gaze, he still denied it: "Blood spews people, things were destroyed in your room, why do you blame me?" ”
"Who else but you? Even if you don't do it, it can't be separated from you. Lu Xuan insisted.
Annoyed, Xie Qingshan had no choice but to threaten: "Okay, do you think you can reverse black and white with empty white teeth?" Destroy the file, I'll go and tell Master Feng to see if he'll be on your side!" ”
After that, as if absconding in fear of crime, before Lu Xuan could speak, Xie Qingshan had already turned around and left with everyone.
Only then did Lu Xuan gradually calm down the anger in his chest, and a sourness for no reason suddenly surged up from his heart.
I thought that if I was far away from Shengjing, even if my life was harder, at least it should be considered dull, but I didn't think that I would be excluded everywhere, but it was worse than in Shengjing.
But it was Lu Xuan who chose to go south at the beginning, and at this time it was a chance to give her a chance to regret it, and I am afraid she will not back down.
If you don't make some political achievements, how can you be worthy of your oath in front of Gu Huanli? How could Chen Weizhi change his opinion of himself?
The most important thing is that only by getting political achievements in this position as the county magistrate of Yuanshan County can Lu Xuan return to Shengjing, rise step by step with his own strength, and make up for the regrets of his previous life.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt that what was in front of him was just a pile of files waiting to be sorted out, just like when he was in the household department, it was just commonplace.
Lu Xuan immediately sped up his movements, picking up every page on the ground one by one, and drying every drop of ink.
At the same time, Sheng Jing had already received the message and learned what Lu Xuan had suffered in Jiangnan, and he was immediately anxious.
"Lin Wei, prepare the horses." Gu Huanli turned the letter paper in his hand into a disfigured shape, and then got up angrily without saying a word.
Lin Wei was puzzled, and asked casually: "Where is Your Highness going to go?" ”
