Chapter 162: Thick Vinegar

Shangguan Yutang lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes, although his chest was no longer breathless, his body was still a little sore.

She stood up, and glanced at the night as night fell. Oh no, I didn't expect her to sleep for a day, and even the task of capturing Gao Fugui was delayed.

At this time, there was a noise outside the house, like a crowd gathering, bustling. Shangguan Yutang put on his clothes and opened the door to see a group of officers and soldiers with torches standing outside the door.

They were holding the embarrassed Gao Fugui, and behind him, there were several large boxes. Shangguan Yutang recognized at a glance that these wooden boxes were the boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry in Gao Fugui's house.

Dongfang Yu ordered people to open the lids of these boxes, and the golden gold ingots, the silver of white flowers, and the fur silkworm silk satin were dazzling.

Dongfang Yu bowed his hand to Huangfu Hongyi and said, "Fire Protector, these are all from Gao Fugui's house. ”

Gao Fugui embezzled official silver, was arrested, his eyes flickered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and now his small vault was discovered by Huguo Villa and Xuanwumen, he couldn't argue!

Huangfu Hongyi walked to the box, he picked up a few ingots of silver and looked at it, and sure enough, there was official silver allocated by the imperial court.

Huangfu Hongyi's face like a sharp knife carving exuded a cold chill, he put down the official silver, and slowly walked towards Gao Fugui, his deep dark eyes seemed to shoot a sharp blade, stabbing Gao Fugui didn't even dare to raise his head.

Huangfu Hongyi's momentum was compelling, and Gao Fugui's natural coldness scared Gao Fugui to tremble, and Gao Fugui's legs were weak, "Plop!" With a bang, he was so frightened that he knelt directly in front of Huangfu Hongyi.

Huangfu Hongyi held the Yin Yang Dragon Slashing Knife in his hand, Gao Fugui knelt in front of him, and it happened that the handle of the knife was facing the top of Gao Fugui's head, even if the opponent's knife was not unsheathed, Gao Fugui, who was as timid as a mouse, was still afraid, for fear that if he disobeyed the fire protector, the other party would cut him in two.

"Big ...... My lord, I'll recruit ...... I recruit, I ...... It is true that he embezzled the official money allocated by the imperial court a few months ago, but ...... These gold, silver and jewelry are not the wealth of the villain alone, and the villain is also forced to be helpless! ”

Gao Fugui knelt in front of Huangfu Hongyi and kowtowed repeatedly, so that even blood stains soaked out between his foreheads.

Huangfu Hongyi's thin lips opened lightly, and there was a thin coldness between his words, "If you have something to say, say it." ”

These chests were full of gold, silver, jewelry, fur and silk, and it was impossible for the mayor of a backward town to be greedy for so much.

"I said I said ......" Gao Fugui wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, and truthfully recruited: "These boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, in fact, were put here by Chen Baisheng, the city lord of Beiyang City, two months ago, the imperial court pulled out five hundred taels of official silver to reclaim the wasteland of Fugui Village, and Chen Baisheng and I conspired to embezzle four hundred taels, but other gold and silver and those precious furs are not the property of villains!" I hope that the adults will see it! ”

Gao Fugui regretted it too much, he should not have agreed to Chen Baisheng's request and put these stolen goods in his house if he knew it. This time it ignited the fire and ruined his future!

Gao Fugui kowtowed a few times, couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, and wept bitterly in front of everyone. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, so why bother in the first place.

"Why did Chen Baisheng put the stolen goods here with you?" Huangfu Hongyi asked in a deep voice, Chen Baisheng embezzled so much gold, silver and jewelry, and rashly put a few boxes of stolen goods here in Gao Fugui, aren't you afraid that he will show the news?

Gao Fugui wiped his tears with his sleeve and choked up: "Half a month ago, Chen Baisheng's subordinate Rong Wei brought these boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, saying that the city lord Chen wanted to put the silver here for me to keep, and also said that if I promised to keep these stolen goods, they could be divided with me seventy-three, I have lived for most of my life, and the first time I saw so much gold, silver and jewelry, I saw the money open, so I agreed to his request." ”

Speaking of which, it is all the actions of those who see wealth and are rich and noble, but they are all self-inflicted.

Dongfang Yu leaned beside Huangfu Hongyi and said softly: "Lord Fire Protector, there are tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver here, Chen Baisheng is a delicate person, but he is only in charge of the affairs of Beiyang City, and it is probably unrealistic to want to covet so much gold and silver." ”

Dongfang Yu's implication is that even if Chen Baisheng accepts bribes and embezzles silver, he can't be so greedy in Beiyang City, unless he has expanded his power outside Beiyang City.

Huangfu Hongyi's sword eyes flashed with cold stars, and he ordered: "Dongfang Sect Master, please send someone to escort Chen Baisheng and let him confront Gao Fugui face to face." ”

"Yes!" Dongfang Yu received the order, and then immediately led people to the Beiyang City Lord's Mansion.

Gao Fugui was escorted down by the officers and soldiers, Shangguan Yutang walked to Huangfu Hongyi's side and asked, "Hongyi, Gao Fugui has been recruited?" ”

Huangfu Hongyi nodded, "Yes, he embezzled the official silver of the imperial court. ”

Looking at her slightly pale face, Huangfu Hongyi frowned and asked worriedly, "Yutang, how does your body feel?" Does your chest still hurt? ”

Huangfu Hongyi's tone was soft, and he could hear Shangguan Yutang's heart tremble, and a soft place in his heart seemed to be touched by his words of concern.

Shangguan Yutang smiled at him, "Don't worry, Hongyi, I'm fine, thank you." ”

"Sissy! Hoyo Yi! Li Shenlong hurriedly ran to Shangguan Yutang's side, seeing that she could walk freely, and her complexion gradually returned to ruddy, Li Shenlong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Sissy, I'm worried about death, but I'm glad you're okay!" After all, she was injured to save herself, if she had three longs and two shorts, Li Shenlong would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Shangguan Yutang said gratefully: "Thanks to Hongyi and Ouyang for healing my injuries, I am already fine. ”

"Okay, okay, it's okay, come into the house, Ouyang Gongzi and I have made you a table of good dishes." Li Shenlong enthusiastically led the two into the house, and he and Ouyang Haowen were busy for a few hours, just to cook some good dishes for them.

The dishes on the table are steaming hot, there are fish, meat and seafood, there are nearly ten dishes, which can be called delicacies of the mountains and seas.

"Wow, Li Shenlong, just a few of us eat, these dishes are too much, right?" Shangguan Yutang looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but marvel, these dishes are full of color and fragrance, comparable to the imperial kitchen in the palace!

Shangguan Yutang and Huangfu Hongyi were seated, and Lu Lingxue was setting up dishes and chopsticks for everyone.

"Ouyang Gongzi and Brother Li both said that they would make up for your body, so they made more." While speaking, Lu Lingxue served Shangguan Yutang a bowl of rice.

"Then I'm really flattered, there are two chefs who add dishes to me, and there is Miss Lu who serves me rice." Shangguan Yutang smiled and reached out to take the white rice handed by Lu Lingxue. She looked around, but found that Dugu Shaobai was not there.

"By the way, what about Big Brother?"

Sheng Qingfeng walked over from the back kitchen with a bowl of vegetables and said, "Are you talking about the water protector?" He's gone to catch flowers, and I don't know if he can come back tonight. ”

Everyone took their seats, Ouyang Haowen and Huangfu Hongyi each picked up a chicken leg and put it in Shangguan Yutang's bowl, and said in unison: "Yutang, your internal injuries have just healed, eat a chicken leg to make up for your body." ”

Shangguan Yutang was flattered by the sudden action of the two of them to pick up vegetables, she looked at the two big chicken legs in the bowl, and then looked at the two men who served the vegetables for her.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, everyone held their breath and stared, everyone looked at Huangfu Hongyi and Ouyang Haowen in a daze, and found that the two of them looked at each other, and there seemed to be a spark of vinegar between their cold eyes, which made everyone smell the smell of danger.

"Ahem...... Thank you, I'...... I'll just clip it myself. Shangguan Yutang cleared his throat in embarrassment, buried his head and silently picked up the rice.

Huangfu Hongyi looked at Ouyang Haowen with cold eyes, his eyes were shining, and it made people's backs chill. But Ouyang Haowen was not to be outdone, the two sat opposite the table, their eyes confronted, as if they wanted to defeat each other with their icy eyes.

Sheng Qingfeng sat next to Ouyang Haowen, glanced at Huangfu Hongyi in a daze, and found that the other party's dark eyes were flashing with a touch of murderous intent, so frightened that Sheng Qingfeng hurriedly pushed Ouyang Haowen's thigh with his legs, signaling him to stop "eye war".

Suddenly, the onlookers in the room understood what it meant to meet rivals in love, and they were very red-eyed!

Shangguan Yutang, who was the person concerned, didn't want to continue to be embarrassed, she buried her head in rice, and couldn't wait to bury her whole face in the bowl.

Ouyang Haowen no longer looked at Huangfu Hongyi angrily, he narrowed his cold eyes, looked at Shangguan Yutang gently, and asked with a soft smile: "Yutang, is the food I made delicious?" ”

Shangguan Yutang had food in his mouth and said vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious, what you and Li Shenlong make is delicious." ”

She caught a glimpse of Huangfu Hongyi's gaze all the time on her, so she didn't dare to praise Ouyang Haowen alone, so as not to attract Huangfu Hongyi's misunderstanding.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yutang paused to pick up the vegetables, I don't know when it started, she didn't want Huangfu Hongyi to misunderstand that she was interested in other men......

Huangfu Hongyi put down the dishes and chopsticks, he took out a clean handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of Shangguan Yutang's lips, and intimately wiped off the rice on the corners of her mouth.

Then, she was served another bowl of soup, and a doting and concerned voice sounded on the dinner table: "Yutang, don't eat too fast, eat slowly, be careful to choke." ”

"Bang dang!"

The sound of the rice bowl falling on the table came, and Shangguan Yutang was so shocked by Huangfu Hongyi's actions that he didn't even hold the bowl in his hand steadily, and fell directly on the dinner table.

Oh my God, what did Hongyi do for her just now?! Actually...... actually wiped off the rice grains from the corners of her mouth for her!

Shangguan Yutang's face swelled with a red tide, and even the roots of his ears and neck were covered with a layer of redness.

Li Shenlong and Lu Lingxue were also stunned, they didn't expect that King Duanxian, who was cold and arrogant on weekdays, would have such a tender side.

Ouyang Haowen frowned, Huangfu Hongyi's ambiguous move set off a strong sense of vinegar in his heart, holding the chopsticks tightly in his hand, only to hear the "click", the chopsticks in his hand were suddenly broken by his brute strength, this move startled Sheng Qingfeng who was sitting beside him.
