The soldier wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied: "At noon today, the treasury of the head of the Han family in Lihua City was ransacked by thieves, and the chief ordered the city to be closed and thoroughly investigated to arrest the thieves. ”

Xiao Yuling sneered and said, "When will the thief be locked down?" Such a big move, is it an order from the government, or an order from the head of the Han family? ”

"This ......" the soldier commander was sweating profusely, and did not dare to answer.

Lijiao City is located in a remote area, thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the constraints of the imperial court on the local government are far less than the influence of the local family.

He sighed in his heart and said coldly, "That's it." This time, I am just passing through this place, I still have important things to do, and I don't want to cause more trouble. Now, when you open the gates of the city and let the people travel normally, I will not pursue it any more. ”

"This ......"

The commander of the soldiers said in a sincere panic: "Your Royal Highness, when it comes to opening the city gate, the lower official can't be the master!" ”

"Really?"

Xiao Yuling's face sank, and she said coldly: "Then you go and call me someone who can call the shots!" ”

The soldier commander couldn't say it because of the bitterness in his heart, although he was an official of the imperial court, he had no real power at all in this pear city.

The entire Lijiao City is controlled by the Han family, the family is dominant, and the official mansion here is just an ornament, not so much to serve the imperial court, but to serve the Han family.

There were also new officials who tried to rebel against the control of the Han family, but later they were all dismissed, or died tragically in Lijiao City, and all the remaining positions were replaced by members of the Han family.

This time, the order to block the city gate was directly ordered by Han Dongqing, the head of the Han family, who would dare to disobey?

To reopen the city gate, even if he, the nominal chief, agrees, it is useless, and only when Han Dongqing personally orders it will be executed.

But now that he is unlucky enough to meet the six princes of the dynasty, how should he explain?

Could it be said that if the city gate can't be opened, only Han Dongqing can call the shots?

Isn't that equivalent to saying to the prince of Dayu in person, this Licheng is not surnamed Xiao, but surnamed Han?

How can he save his little life?

The soldier commander had no choice but to cry and say to Xiao Yuling: "Your Royal Highness, the villain will send someone to pass it on and reopen the city gate." It's just that this procedure is complicated, and you have to wait for a while, or do you move the mansion with the villain first and take a break? ”

Xiao Yuling also knew that the soldier commander was afraid that he would not be able to open the city gate until he went to the Han family to report to Han Dongqing, the head of the Han family.

Although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that there was no point in embarrassing this soldier, so he said lightly: "Then let's go." ”

Lin Yu and Xiao Yuling came to the mansion with the soldier commander, and after bringing the two into the meeting room, the soldier commander hurriedly retired.

Lin Yu relaxed and lay down on the Taishi chair, happily eating the refreshments sent by the maid.

She looked at Xiao Yuling, who had a gloomy face on the side, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, I finally understood what my master once taught me today. ”

"What?" Xiao Yuling asked absentmindedly.

"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken!"

“……”

Lin Yu Zhenzhen said: "You are a dignified sixth prince, in this pear city, you have been pushed and blocked even to open a city gate, this Han Dongqing is simply too deceitful!" ”
