readx; Coming out of the Taishou Mansion, Gongye Yunrong took out the seal letter of Hu Cao Peng handed over to him by Yunlong from his arms, and asked Steward Lu: "Butler, what does Hu Cao Peng do?"

Steward Lu glanced at him, as if he didn't expect him to even know this, and said with a slight smile: "Hu Cao Peng is in charge of the county's household registration, household account, marriage, farm, farming, miscellaneous and road affairs, rank 100 stones." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Steward Lu is from the palace, and he is naturally very clear about the official system.

Taishou has great power, and he can freely appoint and dismiss officials below the county level with a set of subordinate officials.

Gongye Yunrong smiled as soon as he heard Steward Lu's explanation, if it was placed in the twenty-first century in the previous life, these rights were indeed considerable, but at this time he was not satisfied, he would rather be a small leader like Dubo in the army, because there were many wars in this era, if he could go to the battlefield, he believed that he would be able to improve soon.

Just before bidding farewell to Yunlong, Yunlong asked Gongye Yunrong to officially take office tomorrow, and gave Gongye Yunrong a task, that is, to find out the household registration in the city, make a comprehensive registration of the existing people, and issue a notice that the people are not allowed to leave the city.

Gongye Yunrong was a little uneasy in his heart, his words ended up trapping the people in the city, if the "Wei" army came to attack, Yunlong might not be able to hold it, wouldn't he hurt the people at that time?

However, he thought about it: "I am just an outsider, what is their fate, and how can I change it with a word?"

Although Steward Lu was quite surprised that Gongye Yunrong suddenly asked Yunlong for an official position, he was not a person of many words, so he didn't ask much, and secretly thought about how to deal with the unknown situation after Gongye Yunrong took office.

The two of them thought about their own thoughts and returned to the Li Mansion silently. However, as soon as they stepped into the house, a maid stumbled up and told the news in horror that surprised the two.

The eldest lady is dead, killed by the fourth lady!

Gongye Yunrong was surprised and surprised, and hurriedly asked what was going on, but the maid couldn't say why, so he hurriedly rushed to the backyard with Steward Lu. As soon as they stepped into the circular arch of the last courtyard, they heard the wailing of the woman inside.

In a flower hall in the East Wing, a bloody scene is shocking.

I saw the eldest lady dressed in a vegetarian dress lying in a pool of blood, with a deep wound in her abdomen gushing blood, the second lady and the third lady respectively hugged her two children and kept crying, and the fourth lady Ji Rushui was holding a dagger that was still dripping with blood, standing beside her in a daze, as if she didn't expect that she would kill someone.

Gongye Yunrong stepped forward to probe Mrs. Tan's snort, and she was already out of breath. Seeing this situation, no matter how hard his heart was, he couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, he had no guilt for killing Li Yuanwai, but letting four women and a pair of children suddenly become orphans and widows made him a little uncomfortable, and the scene in front of him was not what he wanted to see, although the eldest lady was not killed by him, but it must have been because of Li Yuanwai's death that indirectly caused this tragedy.

Gongye Yunrong turned his eyes to Ji Rushui, only to see that she was still standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but be angry, stepped forward and grabbed the dagger and threw it on the ground, shouting: "Why do you want to kill?"

Ji Rushui's delicate body trembled, suddenly came back to her senses, and shouted, "It's not because of you!"

Gongye Yunrong was stunned and said, "Because of me?"

Ji Rushui looked excited, pointed to the corpse on the ground and screamed: "She wants to poison you, I have to kill her!"

Gongye Yunrong said angrily: "Even if she wants to harm me, you shouldn't kill her." ”

Ji Rushui glared at Gongye Yunrong for a long time, seemed to suddenly lose his strength, and retreated several steps to lean against the wall before standing firmly, and said sadly: "Do you think I want to kill her? You killed the master, how can we lonely widows survive in the troubled times? Li Dahai is dead, I am not sad at all, he only cares about his money, and I and the second sister and the third sister are just his playthings......

The second lady suddenly shouted, "Don't say it again!"

Ji Rushui smiled bitterly and said, "Second sister, the demon clan will attack Qingyang soon, do you think that in such a troubled world, you can still keep your reputation?

The second lady hugged the little girl in her arms tightly, burst into tears, and could no longer speak.

Ji Rushui said like a dream, "I just want to find someone to rely on, to be able to live, I said that Brother Gongye is a good person, you can rely on it, not only did she refuse, but she also wanted to beat me, and said that she would poison you, usually she always said that I was a vixen, and I would beat me at every turn, I couldn't bear it anymore, she forced me to kill her!"

Gongye Yunrong took a closer look, and sure enough, there were a few faint red marks on her right face. Since the matter has happened, no amount of blame is useless, not to mention that people help him out of kindness, if he really let the eldest lady poison him to death, it really provides a big joke for crossing the world.

He asked the second lady and the third lady to take the two children away first, and then ordered Steward Lu to find two subordinates to clean up the body, and instructed everyone not to spread the news of the killing of the eldest lady.

After several people went out one after another, only Gongye Yunrong and Ji Rushui were left in the house.

Last night, Ji Rushui didn't say how hateful Li Dahai and the eldest lady were, seeing her frightened face at this time, Gongye Yunrong couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart, and stepped forward to gently stroke Ji Rushui's pretty face, which was originally pink and red, but there was no trace of blood at this time.

Ji Rushui's heart was agitated, and she suddenly threw herself into Gongye Yunrong's arms and cried.

Gongye Yunrong originally thought that she was a water-based poplar and liked to seduce men by nature, but now it seems that this is not the case, and there are many inhumane tragic stories behind her, including the second and third ladies.

Gongye Yunrong patted Ji Rushui's delicate back and gently pushed her away, if people saw them hugging each other, it would inevitably cause some trouble. He gently wiped away the tears on Ji Rushui's cheeks, stared at her intently, and suddenly a burst of pride surged in his heart, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't leave you anywhere in the future!"

Ji Rushui looked up at him, surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Gongye Yunrong asked Ji Rushui to go back to the room to have a good rest, and after a while, Steward Lu came in with two subordinates, Gongye Yunrong handed over the matter here to Steward Lu, and he found Hao Liancheng and ordered him to secretly buy a coffin at night and come back.

Everything is in order, it's noon. In the past two days, there have been one after another accidents in the house, which has made everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

In the afternoon, Gongye Yunrong took a nap in the bedroom, and the second lady suddenly ordered the maid to invite him to the hall. Gongye Yunrong felt a slight surprise, got up in his clothes, and came to the living room. At this time, the second lady was already sitting in the hall upright, dressed in a plain body, looking very solemn.
