"Hou Mingxi, the governor of Jiangnan, stepped forward to receive the order." Lord Qian took out the holy decree.

Everyone followed behind Hou Mingxi, "Hou Mingxi took the order." ”

"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: Today, there is Hou Mingxi, the governor of Jiangnan and the squire of the military department, who is full-time in power, raising private soldiers, embezzling dirty money, selling official positions, and bribing courtiers. Several crimes and punishments will be imposed tomorrow, and they will be beheaded in the winter of the imperial capital. His wife Hou Tao did not help him do evil, and he assassinated his concubine and deserved to be executed. But remembering that she was pregnant, spared her life. All men over the age of 10 and women over the age of 15 of the same family were exiled to the land of the fourth rank, and all slaves were confiscated. Chin this! ”

After listening to Lord Qian's decree, Hou Mingxi sat down on the ground.

"How? Lord Hou is still not ready to receive the order and thank you? Lord Qian spoke.

Hou Mingxi eased his nerves and knelt straight, "Weichen has the order." ”

Lord Qian handed over the holy decree to him, "Now Lord Hou can stay in his palatial mansion for one night, and we will set off tomorrow." After that, he turned around and saluted An Lingdu, "An Shizi, the lower official will retire first." ”

An Ling nodded, "Master Qian walks slowly." ”

After Master Qian left, An Lingju was also ready to leave.

"An Shizi stays." Hou Mingxi called.

"Is there anything else Lord Hou is up to?" An Ling asked.

"Is this a game you set up in the first place? You weren't a chincha from the beginning! ”

"You're really wrong." An Ling said lightly, "The bureau has indeed been laid out from the beginning. I am indeed a chincha. Unfortunately, we knew from the beginning who the flower thieves were. In order to cooperate with Master Hou, he has not been arrested. Even so, he was controlled by our people. ”

After saying that, An Ling was about to leave, but suddenly turned around again, "I heard that this fourth-level land is not a place for people to stay. I guess it's going to die on the road. Lucky to arrive, the icy snow water, the roasting sun, the man-eating tiger, the deadly north wind. None of them will survive for half a year. ”

Frightened, Hou Mingxi stood there and smoking.

It's night

"Do you think they're really going to run away?" Ye Yanyao asked An Ling.

"If they want to live, they will." An Ling decided to put a fox fur collar around her, it was already early winter, and the weather was a lot colder.

"And when are we leaving?" Ye Yanyao asked excitedly.

"No hurry, wait." An Ling took her hand and sat down.

After a while

"Shizi, the Hou Mansion is on fire." Luo Yan ran over, but there was no panicked look on his face.

"Alright, let's go." An Ling decided to pick up the soup woman on the table. Ye Yanyao is afraid of the cold, and it is always good to keep warm.

Hou Mansion

"Sir, the fire has been put on. Let's run! The butler rushed over, "The body of the stand-in is ready." ”

"That's good." Hou Mingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, his mental state was completely tense on this day.

"Where's the eldest young master?" Suddenly he remembered Hou Qing.

"Isn't that right? Is the eldest young master still there just now? The butler wondered, too.

"Don't hurry up and find it!" Hou Mingxi shouted, "If he is injured, you will all bury me with him!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The crowd scattered.

Just when everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot, a voice came, "Lord Hou hasn't seen you for a long time!" ”
