.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!

Looking at this unfinished portrait, Xiao Qi's calm and waveless eyes, his emotions finally rippled like a breeze blowing across the surface of the lake, and a wry smile slowly appeared on his lips.

He whispered to the woman in the portrait, "I'm going to see you after all." ”

This portrait has been painted for a long time, but only a pair of eyes have not been able to draw it for a long time. It's just that he is afraid that once the portrait is completed, he will not be able to help but run to meet the person in the painting.

Grinding ink, lifting the pen, the eyes that have been sketched thousands of times in my heart are in the painting.

The clear eyes of the person in the painting are clear and tactful, and the years are delicate.

She is in his heart, and she has long been alive and well, or maybe she is destined by God.

After making sure that the ink would no longer stain the paper, Xiao Qi rolled up the portrait and hid it in the dark compartment behind the bookshelf.

instructed his subordinates to prepare a car to go to the dock, but he did not bring any more entourage.

On the edge of the pier, his exclusive passenger boat is ready to depart.

When I arrived in Yuxi County, it was still early in the morning, and Uncle Min was still waiting on the dock.

"Eldest son, go back to the other courtyard to rest or ...... first"

Before Uncle Min finished speaking, he was truncated by concise and powerful words, "No need, go directly to the restaurant." ”

After the shopkeeper Tong got up, he washed up, made a pot of tea and drank it with a Shih Tzu pot while supervising the guys to work.

Seeing Xiao Qi and Uncle Min coming in from the gate, the shopkeeper Tong was so shocked that all the sip of tea he had just drunk in his mouth squirted out, and the teapot almost fell to the ground, so he hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve and greeted him...... Boss, why did you come so early this time? ”

Xiao Qi's handsome face was expressionless, glanced at the shopkeeper Tong, and said lightly: "If you do your best, what does it matter when I come?" ”

The tone was also flat and waveless, so that the shopkeeper Tong couldn't figure out his mood at the moment, so he had to respectfully accompany him to the third floor.

Entering the Ruyi Pavilion, the shopkeeper Tong opened the windows one by one, the sunlight poured in like a spring, and there seemed to be a gorgeous halo dancing in the air.

Xiao Qi, who was dressed like a cloud, stood in front of the window, his whole body was shrouded in light, and his posture was graceful, like a god.

Shopkeeper Tong speculated on the owner's thoughts, and said cautiously: "The owner was in a hurry overnight, and he must be hungry, so I'll go and ask the little ones to send some breakfast." ”

Xiao Qi looked out the window and waved his hand lightly, and the shopkeeper Tong was about to withdraw, but he heard a cold voice coming: "Send someone to send the steward of the transport team over." ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper Tong turned around and walked away quickly, the owner seemed to be in a bad mood today, and he needed to cheer up and serve with twelve points.

The manager of the Xiao family's transport team in Yuxi County is called Ah Fa, and when he heard that the son of the Dong family came to see him, he sighed that he should come sooner or later, and he didn't dare to delay at all, so he followed people up to Ruyi Pavilion.

Xiao Qi was slow and methodical, and his demeanor was elegant, and Uncle Min was personally waiting on the side.

Ah Fa has been in a hunched posture since he came in, and he didn't dare to take a breath when he looked at the atmosphere on the floor.

Xiao Qi was so absorbed in enjoying the food that he didn't even appreciate Ah Fa out of the corner of his eye.

Ah found that this summer was hot fast, and the weather was so hot before the beginning of summer ended, and the pores of his body began to sweat out, and his clothes were soon wet.

Xiao Qi put down the silver chopstick, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a snow-white square scarf, and was still reluctant to give Ah Fa a look.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he hurriedly called the guys to clean it up, and personally refilled the tea.

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Ah Fa's forehead.

Xiao Qi put the square towel lightly on the table, picked up the teacup and opened it to see, Xu was disgusted that the tea was too hot, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he paused the teacup on the table, the tea spilled, and Gai'er fell and jumped a few times.

Ah Fa's heart was shocked, and he felt a yin wind in the house, and he couldn't resist the cold and shivered.

The guy who lightly cleaned up the cups, plates and bowls turned white with fright, and the shopkeeper Tong's eyelids jumped.

Only Uncle Min's face did not change and motioned for the guy to go out first.

"Say it." Xiao Qi looked directly at Ah Fa, and said in a tone like ice: "What price did the other party pay to make you desperate and betray my Xiao family." ”

Ah Fa's knees weakened, the dignified man knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Eldest prince, I don't have the courage to betray the Xiao family, and the one who made me act like this is also a person within the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Qi's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "Speak clearly." ”

"Yes...... It was the person in front of my grandmother who came to me and asked me to go to another place to pick up the goods and put them in the warehouse. Ah Fa prostrate on the ground, sweating like rain, and continued: "I think since it is my own person, and the goods are the same, I can't miss the owner's business, so I obeyed." ”

Xiao Qi's lips were resolute, his tone was like frost, and he nodded slowly: "Very good, I don't know when you became a member of the Fang family, and you need to obey the Fang family." ”

Ah Fa's face turned pale, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Grandma is also from the Xiao family, I don't dare not listen!" ”

"Shut up." Xiao Qi Huoran got up, walked to Ah Fa, and said condescendingly and coldly: "The Fang family is the Fang family, and the Xiao family is now the master of my family, as long as you do things in my Xiao family for one day, except for my orders, you don't need to pay attention to other people's words, understand?" ”

"Understood, understood." Ah Fa kowtowed several times in a row, "I beg the eldest prince to forgive me this time, and in the future, I will resolutely only listen to the eldest prince's dispatch." ”

Xiao Qi snorted coldly, went back and sat down and said to Uncle Min: "Send someone to take a look at the place where he picked up the goods, and don't alarm the people inside." When he returned, he had twenty rods as a small punishment. ”

"Yes." Uncle Min responded and went out immediately.

Ah Fa breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed again: "Thank you for the grace of forgiveness." ”

"Let's go down." Xiao Qi waved his hand.

Ah Fa got up and left.

The shopkeeper Tong's nerves were tense, and he didn't dare to relax at all, in the past, he saw that the owner was gentle and elegant, which was as cold and cruel as today.

Xiao Qi sat without saying a word, but from the lines of his pursed lips and the undulating emotions in his eyes like a tide, he must be trying his best to endure and suppress at this moment.

After a while, Uncle Min came in to report that the personnel had been arranged.

Xiao Qi nodded, got up and left Ruyi Building to go to the county office.

Ling Mofeng was so shocked that he didn't close his mouth for a long time after hearing Xiao Qi finish telling the matter, and then couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Qi's face was as gloomy as ink, and he glared at Ling Mofeng with extreme displeasure.

Ling Mofeng suppressed his laughter, the corners of his mouth still twitched occasionally, and he said after a while: "Brother Xiao, I admire you very much, and it is a miracle in the world to be able to marry such a jealous woman." ”

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and glanced at him, and said, "You don't gloat, why don't you hurry up and check whether Fang Yanleng's workshop has been registered." ”

"Yes." Ling Mofeng acted as if nothing had happened, and called a servant to ask the curtain to check the workshop that had been registered for the record this year.

The two sat idly and drank tea to catch up on the old days, until they went to check the Mu bin of the record workshop to report the results.

Xiao Qi's eyes darkened after hearing this, he leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, and only opened them after a while, and said, "Tomorrow, I still need to bother Brother Ling to order Qi to run with me." ”

Ling Mofeng stared at him and nodded.

After coming out of the county office, Xiao Qi went to Jixiangbuzhuang again.

This time I went out without accompanying people, and I didn't have a change of clothes, and now I need to stay in Yuxi County for a few days, how can I do it without a change of clothes.

The short and fat shopkeeper of the cloth village was respectful and dedicated.

Xiao Qi usually dresses in light colors, especially white, and this time the choice of clothes is no exception, except for two white clothes, there is another light cyan.

After returning to the courtyard to bathe and change clothes, Xiao Qi closed the door, and some thoughts should be sorted out.

Three days, fleeting, Uncle Min came as promised.

Liu Qingyan followed Uncle Min to a farm on the outskirts of the city.

Zhuangzi is very ordinary, and from the outside, it is exactly the same as the farming industry that all the rich families have outside.

Liu Qingyan got out of the car and saw that the neatly dressed officials were waiting for each other with various tools for demolishing the wall, and a carriage was parked next to her, and the kind-looking magistrate got out of the car and smiled at her.

The hidden connotation in the smile made her a little confused, and after saluting according to the rules, she said with a smile: "The county magistrate is really a good parent official close to the people, and he didn't forget to call me out to see you on an errand when he was busy." ”

Ling Mofeng's eyes flashed with incomprehensible light, and he laughed twice, and said, "I'm here to run an errand, but it's not me who called you, but someone else." After speaking, he shouted into the car: "Brother Xiao, come down quickly, don't make people wait." ”

Liu Qingyan looked slightly surprised, and her eyes were fixed on the door of the carriage where the curtain had been raised.

Tsing Yi is elegant, and Xiao Qi, whose eyebrows are better than snow, got out of the carriage, with a warm and calm smile on his face, and his eyes were ethereal and gentle.

Liu Qingyan smiled indifferently, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Long time no see." ”

Xiao Qi's eyes froze slightly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled soothingly: "Don't come to harm." ”

The two looked at each other, and for a while, the two couldn't find any other topics and reached an impasse.

Ling Mofeng coughed lightly and said, "Brother Xiao, there are a lot of things in the yamen, whether we finish the affairs here first, and then you can talk about the old things in detail." ”

The word reminiscence, biting hard.

Xiao Qi said casually: "You are the parent official here, everything should be under your command, we are just here to watch the adults run errands." ”

Ling Mofeng straightened his clothes and hat, walked to the neatly lined up army of officials with great momentum, and said loudly: "There is a black-hearted workshop hidden in the farm here that has not been registered, and you will only destroy it after you go in to find it, and you must not hurt anyone, understand?" ”

The officials shouted "Understand" in unison.

Ling Mofeng waved his hand, and the officials quickly rushed towards the inside of the Zhuangzi.

Xiao Qi looked puzzled Liu Qingyan on the other side, and said softly: "The workshop for making koji rice noodles and salted duck eggs is inside, and it has not been filed in the yamen after investigation, Lord Ling is loyal to his duties, and he will not tolerate the existence of such a workshop." ”

There are people in the yamen who are easy to do, Liu Qingyan really understands the meaning of this sentence, and said with a smile: "After I go back, I will definitely find the best craftsman to make a plaque of honesty and dedication, beat gongs and drums and send it to the county government, I have expressed my gratitude." ”

Ling Mofeng excused himself with a serious expression: "Miss Liu, don't be so public, it is my duty to crack down on illegal and black-hearted workshops, and I dare not accept it." ”

"Adults are honest and love the people, the whole Yuxi County is obvious to all, the old and the young know it, and they deserve it." Liu Qingyan bowed and smiled.

Ling Mofeng's eyes were deep, flashed a few times, and said modestly: "Miss Liu has won the award." ”

The posture was very low, but she no longer shirked, Liu Qingyan already knew it in her heart.

Xiao Qi chuckled: "This is not a place to talk, let's save it for later." ”
