It was naturally impossible for Yue to know who was hiding behind this screen, but from the sound of that person's heavy and chaotic breathing, it was certain that he did not know martial arts.

But no matter who he is, most of the people who are so sneaky and hide their heads and tails and dare not see people will not be good people.

It is even very likely that it is Luo Minhang Luo Zhizhou, who claims to be coming in a while.

As for the person hiding behind her back, just to eavesdrop on her conversation with Niu Chong, or if there was some other purpose, it is unknown.

"Brother, what did you say happened to Daddy, it's been so long, and there's no news at all."

Yue deliberately lowered his voice, and said in anticipation.

Niu Chong was stunned, and he didn't know which one she was singing. But no matter which play it is, since the play has already started, he has to cooperate with the singing.

"Didn't I tell you everything, Daddy will be fine, don't scare yourself."

"And said it's okay, if it's okay, do you need to lie to me?"

Yue's voice suddenly shrieked, like a little girl who lost her temper because she had been deceived by her brother.

"I'm not afraid you're worried, that's why..."

"If Daddy is really fine, why are you hiding it from me?"

"What are you talking about, Lord Zhizhou's heart is sympathetic to his father's age, and Moxian's life is not good, so he specially took him to the Zhizhou Mansion to live a good life."

Niu Zhong pretended to be angry, and his tone involuntarily became heavy. Yue pursed her lips, pretending to be aggrieved and about to cry.

"I... I... Aren't I worried about my father, he is old and in poor health, no matter how good this governor's mansion is, in the final analysis, it is someone else's place, so that those subordinates can take care of their father, can we do our best? ”

As soon as Yue's words fell, he noticed that the breath behind the screen seemed to be gradually fading. Niu Zhong couldn't help but glance in the direction of the screen out of the corner of her eyes, and seemed to notice something. It's just that he and Yue have been singing and talking for a long time, but it's really like talking to his sister, and even if he notices it, he is far less nervous than Fang Cai.

Niu Chong was distracted for a while, and the conversation naturally stopped. Yue suddenly glanced at him, and quickly glanced in the direction outside the door.

"I know you're worried about Daddy, so didn't I bring you here?"

Niu Zhong reacted immediately and picked up the conversation again. As soon as he finished speaking, a man appeared outside the door.

"Niu Zhixian came all the way from afar, I don't know what is important?"

A middle-aged man with an ordinary face and a somewhat fat figure walked in, greeting Niu Zhong as he walked, and deliberately dragged out the tail note when he spoke, which seemed to have a sense of pretentious majesty, which made people sound very awkward.

As soon as Niu Chong saw the man, he immediately got up and greeted him.

"Meet Lord Zhizhou."

"Excuse me, excuse me. You and I have been colleagues for many years, so there is no need to pay attention to these false courtesies. ”

Sure enough, it is the legendary Luo Minxing Luo Zhizhou.

Yue secretly raised his eyes and looked at them with a little meaning.

This Luo Zhizhou is really not a simple character, at least he is a means of envy and power, no wonder he can hold dozens of officials up and down in the entire Wuzhou.

However, his combination of grace and power is really not clever in Yue's eyes.

Because although his words and demeanors are deliberately very affectionate, as if he is really a sympathetic and kind-hearted good Zhizhou, both his eyes and actions are overly pompous and hypocritical.

Yue stood behind Niu Zhong with his head lowered, pretending not to dare to look directly at Luo Minxing, but in his heart, he had already seen him up and down clearly.

In fact, she didn't need to raise her head at all, she just moved her ears slightly, and she could be sure that the one hiding behind the screen just now was this Luo Minxing Luo Zhizhou.

But he asked knowingly, and deliberately pretended to be a newcomer.

If she didn't guess wrong, he deliberately hid behind the screen just now, probably to find out if Niu Chong would tell Niu Xiao about those account books or rosters.

As for what he wanted to do after getting the answer, she didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Lord Zhizhou is generous, but the etiquette that should be observed is indispensable."

Luo Minxing seemed to stretch out his hand to hold Niu Zhong's bowing gift, but in fact, it was just a show. His hand just shook for a moment, and then he watched Niu Zhong perform this big gift steadily, but a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Zhizhou, this is the housesister Niu Xiao. Coming to visit without permission disturbed the tranquility of Lord Zhizhou, and Niu Chong was deeply frightened. ”

"Folk girl Niu Xiao, see adults."

Seeing that Luo Minhang finally sat down on the main seat, Niu Chongcai pointed to Yue behind him, but Luo Minhang pretended to be ignorant and looked at Yue.

"It turned out to be Niu Girl, I don't know why Niu Zhi County brought Niu Girl to this official mansion as well.

"I'm ashamed to say that. The father's disturbance in the adult's mansion, Niu Chong originally didn't want his sister to know, so as not to worry her. But after a long time, I still can't hide it. My sister is close to her father, and she is very worried about her father after not seeing her for a long time, so she is clamoring to let her come to see her father. ”

"I see, it's human nature to worry about my father. Uncle Niu has been in the official mansion for a long time, and the official specially ordered people to take care of him wholeheartedly, and everything is fine. However, Niu Zhixian came suddenly this time, and he didn't inform the official in advance, aren't you worried that Uncle Niu is not doing well? ”

"Lord Zhizhou's words are serious, Niu Chong has no such meaning. Lord Zhizhou was kind and sympathetic to his subordinates, and it was too late for Niu Zhong to be grateful, how could he dare to have doubts about the adults. It's just that my sister is very worried about my father, so I took the initiative to bring her here. Please also ask the adults to be accommodating, understand her filial piety, and let her meet her father. ”

“。。。 Well, this... ”

Luo Minxing twisted the half-length beard on his chin, pretending to hesitate and think, but he couldn't stop glancing at Niu Zhong.

"Niu Xiao is not an outsider, if Lord Zhizhou has anything to say, please make it clear."

"Actually, this matter is easy to say, anyway, Uncle Niu is staying in the official mansion, and Miss Niu's filial piety is also very moved. It's just this ... It's really hard for the official to speak. ”

"Lord Zhizhou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Then I'll just say it?"

"Lord Zhizhou, please."

"You also know in Niu Zhi County, it looks like it's almost the day of the New Year's tribute. The other counties have almost been handed over, and there is no news about Mo County, which is under the jurisdiction of Niu Zhi County, . . . ”

It's a tribute again.

The annual harsh taxes have emptied the stomachs of the people, and all the silver has entered your Luo Minxing's stomach, but the people still think that His Majesty is unkind to the people.

Luo Minxing pretended to be embarrassed, and deliberately lengthened his tone, but it made Niu Chong even more angry.

"Please also ask Lord Zhizhou to be gracious, just let me meet my father, my brother will definitely find a way to do other things, right, brother?"

Yue saw that something was wrong with Niu Chong, and immediately interrupted Niu Chong's thoughts, and the brother at the end deliberately accentuated his voice.

Her voice sounded a little mournful and frightened, but it was like a basin of cold water poured on Niu Chong's head.

Yes, my father is still in Luo Zhizhou's hands.

He can't move, he must calm down.

As long as his father is rescued, Luo Minxing will not be far from the day when he will eat the consequences.

"What Lord Zhizhou said is true, but Lord Zhizhou also knows the situation in Mo County, and I ask you to give me a few more days, and Niu Zhong will try his best to make it up."

"Niu Zhixian is a little difficult to do in this way. Although the official also knows that the taxes of the imperial court are getting heavier and heavier year by year, the life of the common people is not easy. But after all, this is the duty of the official, Niu Zhixian is easy to do his best, and the number will not be made up when the time comes, and the above will blame it, and the punishment of the official is small, and it is difficult to say whether Niu Zhixian's black yarn hat can be guaranteed. ”

This insatiable Luo Minxing is simply an inch.

The anger in the bull's heart almost burned his whole body, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth and show a very embarrassed expression.

"The adults are thinking about Zhou Xiang, Niu Chong understands, but he really can't make up so much at the moment, and he begs the adults to forgive a few more days, Niu Chong... The weight of the ox must be made up according to the number. ”

When Niu Zhong said the last sentence, even his voice trembled slightly, but this strange tone in Luo Minxing's ears thought it was caused by his panic and nervousness, but he nodded a little proudly.

"For the sake of you and my colleagues in Niuzhi County for many years, it's just ten days, and there must be no more."

"Ten days?! Please also know the state of the people... ”

"No, no, it's supposed to be seven days, if it weren't for Niu Zhi County's sake, I wouldn't dare to take these three days without permission. Just for these three days, the official has to take a lot of risks, Niu Zhixian is better to do it himself. ”

Ten days?!

I will send you to hell to collect money in ten days!

Niu Zhong roared angrily in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be helpless and had no choice but to agree.

"This... That's all there is to it ... The sister asked to see her father?。。。 ”

"That's a good thing, butler!"

Luo Minxing shouted, but saw the housekeeper walk in immediately.

"What do you command?"

"Take Niu Zhixian and Niu Girl to see Uncle Niu."

"Then you two come here, please."

"Then thank you, Lord Zhizhou."

Niu Chong saluted again, Luo Minxing nodded, and Niu Chong turned around and walked out. Yue saw him turn around, but realized that something was wrong.

Didn't I say that I would try to let her stay in the Zhizhou Mansion as much as possible, but I just said that I would meet her, so why was I in a hurry to go out.

Yue was very puzzled in her heart, and was struggling to speak, but when she saw Niu Zhong just turn around, she quickly glanced at her, and then walked out of the main hall behind the housekeeper.
