Leng Qiulang patted Manatha's back to comfort her, and after being comforted, she didn't stop crying but cried loudly.

Seeing this scene, Hu Xianxian was also a little sour-eyed, and she really wanted someone for her to rely on, so that she could cry out all her grievances and sorrows in his arms.

When Manasha had cried enough, Leng Qiulang greeted Maitaha and Hu Xianxian. After the four of them sat down, Leng Qiulang talked about the situation of these sand bandits.

Leng Qiulang was afraid that Ling Shan would change again, so he had been moving around Ling Shan for thousands of miles. He learned that the Mai family had opened a branch in the border city, and he wanted to come to see them earlier, but he couldn't get out of it because of the affairs of these sand bandits.

These bandits were different from the rabble of the previous ones, and many of them were army deserters. In the past, those sand bandits generally wouldn't mess with a big caravan like the Mai family who was familiar with this road, and the Mai family's hand strength was not easy to mess with. This emerging group of sand bandits is dedicated to provoking large caravans, only caring about making money as much as possible.

There is also a reason why the prefect and the commander ignore this group of bandits, and there are many aliens in this group of bandits, and if they do not do it well, it will cause the two countries to fight each other.

Maitaha's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, and asked Leng Qiulang: "The overseas kingdoms of Manraka and Siam are at war, and the two countries are worried about internal and external troubles, and many princes and nobles have fled to Tianzhu, and from Tianzhu to Fanbang. The army they led could not get food and wages, so they burned, killed, plundered, and drove them out again. Could it be that these fleeing armies ended up here? ”

Leng Qiulang nodded yes, and said: "Zhuo Que Village is also an old friend of us, do you still remember the case of Kuai Diancong back then?" He was the presiding judge of the year, and because he was implicated in that case, he was retaliated against by the Kuai family. He was the head of the Prison Litigation Department back then, and because of that case, he was demoted from the capital to this city and became the chief bookkeeper of the accounts. ”

Of course Hu Xianxian remembered that incident, but he didn't expect the Kuo family's power to be so great. The position of the director of the Prison Litigation Division in the Criminal Department is only below the Secretary of the Criminal Department and the Servant of the Criminal Department, and when it comes to specific cases, he even has the right to adjudicate than the Secretary of the Criminal Department.

No matter how rich the Kuai family is, they are just businessmen, where does the power come from to say that the emperor will be degraded when the head of the department is degraded? Moreover, it is more accurate to say that Zhuo Que Village was dismissed from office than demoted.

The position of the chief bookkeeper of the border city treasury should be regarded as a prefect's staff, not a court official.

Leng Qiulang has been in the capital for many years, and he is an old friend of Zhuo Que Village when he was young, and later met in the border city, and it was he who told Leng Qiulang that there was an accident at the Mai family.

After hearing this, Hu Xianxian deeply felt that this life was like being in an invisible net, and no matter what he did, he couldn't get around those grievances of right and wrong.

Leng Qiulang's somewhat passionate voice interrupted her thoughts, and he said, "I'll go to Brother Zhuo to discuss, and we'll do our best to suppress the bandits." Hmph, I don't believe I can't get rid of this group of sand bandits! ”

Hu Xianxian turned the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "Don't go to this Mr. Zhuo Que Village, let me go." I should be in charge of all matters, and you will assist me in secret. ”

Leng Qiulang pondered for a while and agreed with Hu Xianxian's suggestion. The reason he agreed with her was that he also thought of it: the Mai family was a businessman, and if they wanted to do business in the city, they should often come and go to this trade route, and it was best not to directly offend the bandits and the government.

Leng Qiulang wants to protect Ling Mountain, and he needs to be around here for a long time, and it is better to cause less trouble here.

As for Zhuo Que Village, his current situation is even better if he doesn't cause trouble.

After agreeing on things, Hu Xianxian was about to go out, and Mataha slammed down the table and said, "No! It can't be arranged that way. Immortals, you can't take care of everything. In this matter, I will pay a bounty to hire someone to get rid of the bandits, and it is a big deal to pay all the belongings. ”

Hu Xianxian didn't refute, but it didn't mean that she agreed. She smiled gratefully at him, then turned away.

What she decided was hard to change, and it was up to him to do what she wanted, knowing that her ideas would be implemented faster and more effective.

Hu Xianxian did not fly by, nor did she refuse to rest at Mai's house, she walked very slowly on the deserted streets in the early morning.

Walking like this, she felt better. She didn't want to stop, the thoughts in her heart had grown like weeds, and her barren heart didn't dare to stop anywhere.

He didn't talk to her much when Mataha's family was in trouble, but she could feel the fervent affection in his eyes. In the past, she couldn't feel this kind of deep affection that was hidden but not revealed, but stored in her eyes.

But now, she understood.

When he first met Cheng Haofeng in this life, he was always cold and indifferent to her, easy to say a few words, and always squeezed her, she thought he was very disgusted with her. At that time, why didn't she understand his affection for her, which seemed to be ignored by her, but was actually concerned about it?

She didn't think of him that much, she tried not to think about the past for the past few months, she thought she could live it all the time.

Actually, there just didn't happen to touch her heartstrings, right?

Hu Xianxian himself felt that he was a little arbitrary in doing things, and it stands to reason that he should explain a few more words to Metaha. But she couldn't stay in Mai's house longer, she didn't trust herself.

Missing is a weed, weeds should be eradicated, but weeds are stubborn, she can't let these weeds spread again, affecting the seedlings that are towering and asking. Because I have been thinking about it for a long time, it is inevitable that I will want to find a shoulder to lean on temporarily.

Back at the bell tower, it was dawn. She sat cross-legged beside the big clock, and she didn't settle down, she just sat still.

In the afternoon, she went to find the people who lived by the city wall, changed into a dress, put it on, and then found a small inn to live in. The guests of this inn are just not too many and no less, which is convenient for planning.

In the evening, Hu Xianxian twisted his slender waist and walked down the stairs of the inn. Walking up a staircase and twisting his lower limbs, he seems to be swinging willows in the wind.

She was covered with green silk and rolled a cloud mustache at random, the cloud mustache was slightly off, and there were two pink velvet flowers on the side. The blush is light, not like rouge, but half-drunk and slightly drunk.

The pink gauze robe is half-covered and half-hidden, and a horizontal pink and white bandeau seems to be looming. The pink and white long skirt dragged the ground, the skirt gauze was thin, and the jade legs were suddenly seen between steps.

Such a glamorous lady attracted the guests in the lobby to look at her, and she also looked at them, with some resentment in her eyes, and some dust.

Some of them had seen her, but they didn't think that she was a half-immortal in the bell tower.

There are very few women who are single outside, and it is even less possible to live in the bell tower for so long, and most people regard her as a man. And at this moment, her smoky and flattering attitude really can't match the "Bell Tower Half Immortal".

There was a reason why they dared to look at her so hotly at this time. Even if a woman goes out, she will be accompanied by relatives at home, and most of the women who live alone in the store are not good girls from white families. Since you're not an innocent girl, it's okay to hook up, right?
