Chapter 71 The City Lord

Maybe it's because the city lord's mansion is too small, Xiuyue and Rong Zhao can't pass two gates, and they see a quaint courtyard in front of them, and what Xiuyue pays the most attention to is that there are bronze bells placed on the side quite far away, from large to small, fixed on a row of pillars in turn.

It seemed that Xiuyue was a little concerned about the pillar, and the man in charge of guiding the way on the side smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to those pillars and said, "This is the city lord's hobby." ”

"Hobbies?" Xiu Yue looked at the row of bells and pillars, placed here, and could only look at it, this reason was too far-fetched.

The man was not annoyed, he still looked at Rong Zhao and Xiuyue with a good temper, and patiently explained: "The row of bells on it was personally created by the city lord who found a skilled craftsman and placed it on a pillar made of green bamboo. ”

Xiu Yue pointed to the bells curiously and smiled, "Can I go up and take a look?" ”

The man bent down and nodded, "Girl, please." ”

Xiu Yue walked in, did not easily touch it with her hands, just carefully looked at these bells of different sizes, I don't know why, she had an inexplicable intuition, these things are not simple.

The lines of the bell are very clear, and there are dancing fairies on them, or hiding their faces and smiling, or shy and timid, under the gaze of Xiuyue, those fairies seem to be about to fly, one by one as if they are about to fly out.

She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it gently, but before she could reach out, Rong Zhao on the side suddenly reached out to stop Xiu Yue, took her around in a circle, and looked not far away from the small courtyard.

An old man was walking over, his steps were steady, and his head was full of silver threads gently raised in his steps, but he was even more energetic, his eyes were keen, and he had his own majesty when he looked at people, Xiuyue smiled, presumably, this is the city lord.

From afar, he laughed and said, "Two distinguished guests, but you are interested in me, the voice of nature? ”

Rong Zhao relaxed his protection of Xiu Yue, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord City, I saw that this object was very delicate from below, so I stepped forward and took a closer look." ”

After two sentences of Hu Kung Fu, the other party had already walked over, looked at Xiu Yue with a smile, and said, "What did the little girl see?" ”

A little girl, inexplicably giving people a cordial feeling, made Xiuyue involuntarily relax, and said with a smile: "The lines on it are exquisite, and it looks full of elegance." ”

The city lord smiled, walked to the bells, stretched out his hand and stroked them gently, and said: "The inside of these bells is ingenious, on rainy days, the rain falls, falls into the bells, and the sound comes out of itself, the bells of different sizes, the sound of different sizes, lengths, and heights, so that they naturally form a wonderful tune." ”

After speaking, he seemed to be very proud of his baby, and said proudly: "In the next, it was named the Voice of Nature." ”

A group of people listened quietly, and even Xiu Yue couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, such a delicate object could be used in this way, only on a snowy day, the bells made their own sounds, you can imagine it, it must be an amazing movement.

Rong Zhao smiled and said, "The city lord must be a happy person. ”

The city lord smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Everyone, why don't you come to the front hall with me?" ”

Rong Zhao nodded and said, "City Lord, please." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Xiuyue and led her to the front hall.

Xiuyue tried to struggle, but the strength of the other party was not proportional to his own, Xiuyue looked up at him suspiciously, but could only see a cold chin, smiled helplessly, and let him walk in with him.

The man behind him, who had originally led the two in, looked at the two meaningfully, smiled for the last time, and silently followed the two of them and walked in.

The front hall is not large, there is a main seat in the middle, three chairs are placed on each side, there is a small cabinet between the two chairs, on which are placed a small saucer and teacup, and on the right side there are two cabinets on the teacup full of green tea, and it is still steaming.

Needless to say, it must have been the seat of Xiuyue and Rong Zhao.

Rong Zhao and Xiu Yue walked over, Rong Zhao sat in one seat, Xiu Yue was the second, and the man who followed behind him quietly stood behind the city lord, and after standing still, he didn't squint and stopped talking.

The city lord picked up the tea on the side and sniffed it gently, and said, "Two cloth mills to taste, this is the white tea before the rain, I specially asked my friends to come over." ”

Xiu Yue picked up the small teacup on the cabinet, but was surprised by the delicacy of this small object, which was carved with a looming fish, in the backdrop of the tea, as if the fish was about to leap over the dragon gate.

Rong Zhao also sniffed lightly, then took a sip, and waited until he put it down again before he spoke: "This tea is full of color and fragrance, presumably the tea is also extraordinary, City Lord Yaxing." ”

Xiuyue also took a sip, but he still didn't taste anything special, but he just felt that the tea was fragrant and crisp, and the entrance was lubricating, and it was very delicious.

City Lord Li laughed loudly and said: "Gongzi Rong is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among people, it is really extraordinary, I saw it today, Li is lucky." ”

He is the lord of the city, and Rong Zhao is just a guard on the surface, although he is said to be the personal guard of the county lord, but the class is there, and the other party is so proud of Rong Zhao, what thoughts can be seen.

Xiu Yue on the side heard this, smiled coldly in her heart, lowered her head and pursed her lips to drink tea, and didn't want to get involved in the conversation between the two, it was all boring polite words, she wanted to take advantage of this kung fu to take a good look at this unusual hall.

Xiu Yue noticed it from the beginning of walking in, and when she walked in, she saw a big picture of Zhenhu on the wall facing her. The tiger is vigorous, but it is pressed down by a palm and one hand, although the picture only presents these, but it is lifelike, and even the vicious gaze in the tiger's eyes seems to be about to reveal the paper.

That painting gives people the feeling that that person wants to suppress something.

Xiu Yue's gaze glanced to the opposite side.

The whole hall is symmetrical, and there is a screen with a picture of a lady on both sides, but the screen is very thick, and there is a faint maid on it, and nothing can be seen clearly.

Xiu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, it's not easy here.

But after all, it is the City Lord's Mansion, no matter what, no matter how simple it is, it should be, as long as it doesn't do anything against the way of heaven, Xiu Yue is not in the mood to care.

On the side, the topic of Rong Zhao also entered the main topic, and said: "Does the city lord know my intentions today?" ”

City Lord Li on the opposite side smiled, and suddenly said to the man behind him, "Take it out." ”

The man took out a booklet from his arms, the city lord put it in his hand and flipped through the two pages, stretched out his hand and handed it to Rong Zhao, and said: "Naturally, when I came, the county lord let people inform me, this is what Rong Gongzi wantedβ€”the people who have been accepted by the major pharmacies recently." ”

That's right, Xiu Yue and Rong Zhao want to come over today to see if there are any seriously ill or dying people recently, but as long as people don't die, household registration will naturally not disappear, then there is no way to check, Rong Zhao ordered people to let the City Lord's Mansion collect the seriously ill patients from the major pharmacies who have come to see recently.

The information and family situation of these people should be in this small shop now.

Rong Zhao began to look carefully, he didn't speak, Xiu Yue was naturally not in the mood to find a topic, the city lord also began to giggle and taste tea, and only the sound of Rong Zhao turning the pages was left in the space.

After a while, Rong Zhao suddenly stopped, pointed to one of them and asked, "Why was this person seriously ill a few days ago, but it was written on the pharmacy that this person never came again." ”

The city lord didn't speak, and the man behind him who led Xiuyue and the two people in came over, glanced at the person's name, and said: "This person's name is Wang Dong, and he is a common man who sells baked cakes. ”

Rong Zhao frowned and asked, "Then ...... this person?"

The man replied, "This man is still alive." ”

Xiu Yue suddenly raised her head and glanced at Rong Zhao.

That's right, it should be this person.

Rong Zhao raised his hand to put away the pamphlet, then stood up and bent down and said, "Thank you for the city lord's hospitality, I will tell the county lord and say goodbye first." ”

The city lord was not polite this time, nor did he stand up, and the void raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

After the politeness was over, Rong Zhao stretched out his hand again and walked out with Xiuyue in his arms.

The man who had been leading the two of them was still following behind the two of them, and escorted them to the door of the City Lord's Mansion step by step.

Immediately stepping out of the threshold, Xiu Yue suddenly sniffed, looked back at the man and smiled: "There are really a lot of smells in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed rapidly, and his eyes were no longer harmless to humans and animals, but instantly sharp, looking at Xiu Yue and said, "I will let the next person clean it well." ”

Xiu Yue nodded, and then happily stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Waiting until the gate of the City Lord's Mansion behind him made a dull sound, Xiu Yue smiled and said, "This City Lord's Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

Rong Zhao raised his hand and touched her again, and said, "What did you deliberately provoke in the end?" ”

Xiu Yue snorted coldly, "Who made them look down on people." ”

Ever since Xiu Yue entered, she felt the gaze from many sides, but those eyes only glanced at her, and then opened them contemptuously, which made her unhappy for a long time.

"Moreover," Xiu Yue looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "Moreover, this City Lord's Mansion is not very clean in the first place. ”

Rong Zhao stretched out his hand again and took out the pamphlet in his arms, turned the page he had seen before, and said: "No matter what, this person is the lord of the city, and for the time being, he will not interfere with the river water with our well water, so don't make trouble." ”

Xiu Yue nodded and said with a smile: "I know, who will cause trouble." ”

Looking at the other party's shy appearance, Rong Zhao couldn't help laughing, touched her head with his hand, and then put his fingers on the top of the book and began to slide around, and after a while, his fingers were black, "Sure enough, it was added later." ”

Xiu Yue took a closer look and said, "This person, is he deliberately helping us?" ”

Rong Zhao nodded, did not speak, and looked into the distance.
