Gu Rin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

The little girl was stunned, shocked by his gaffe, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he hesitated, not knowing what he was saying.

When the county magistrate learned that the imperial court had sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the hussar general, he had already gathered up a poor mansion and prepared to live in it the day before they arrived in Youxian as the county magistrate's office.

But who knew that this hussar general actually reached it first, which was unexpected.

Now that the county magistrate is still flirting with the beautiful concubine in the back house, what if that scene is bumped into by the general.

The little servant had no master, hesitated, and after a while, he tentatively said, "The county commander may still be busy with official business, so it is better for the slave to go first and pass the word out, and then invite the * general to enter."

At least I learned about it, so that I could leave a buffer for the prefectural order.

Gu Rin sneered, looking at the little guy's secretive face, and guessed most of his thoughts.

What he tried to hide was passed down by Eleven Pigeon a quarter of an hour ago, and written on a letter paper by fifteen and ten.

He said coldly, "No, take me in now."

"This ......"

The little guy looked embarrassed and hesitated.

Gu Rin stopped talking nonsense, took out the short sword from his sleeve and put it on the neck of the little guy.

"Take me in, or die, you choose."

The little guy trembled, stiffened, and looked at Gu Rin with trembling eyes, his eyes full of fear.

The feeling of suffocation that was on the verge of death seemed to have returned.

He didn't dare to move, and said in a trembling voice, "General...... Calm your anger, and the slave will take you in."

Gu Rin sneered, withdrew his short sword, and walked up the steps by himself.

"In that case, let's lead the way."

The little servant opened the Zhu Gate and led the way in front in fear.

Gu Rin followed behind and said leisurely: "Don't be careful, wherever your county order is now, take me there, you don't have to spread it, and you are not allowed to send someone to report the news, if I find out, this sword in my hand will immediately pierce your head, understand?"

"Ming ...... Understood."

The little guy beat the spirit, buried the last thought in his heart, didn't dare to say more, and only hurriedly led the way.

Along the way, I met a lot of working maids and servants on duty, and I didn't dare to ask for help.

*

The appearance of the inside of the prefectural mansion can be called splendid.

Whether it is the roof of the cornices and corners, or the strange shape of the artificial stone mountain, they are all arranged in a good way, the structure is exquisite, the area is so large, it costs a lot of silver to see it.

But Yao Chen is from a poor family, and as a county magistrate, Yu Lu is also a drop in the bucket, where did the money for the construction of the county magistrate come from?

Gu Rin snorted coldly.

The looted people's fat and ointment must occupy most of it.

The two of them passed through the carved door and went from the front yard to the back yard.

The backyard is full of flowers, and the air is filled with a sweet fragrance, which is very different from the tragic situation on the streets of Youxian County.

Further inside, you can clearly hear the men's flirtatious teasing and the woman's coquettish laughter.

The little girl's heart trembled, and his body froze in place.

What is the county magistrate doing in this blue sky and white day?!

The voice must have reached the ears of the hussar general.

During the day, he did not deal with official business, but was intoxicated with love, so that even if the county magistrate jumped into the Yellow River, he could not wash it away.

Gu Rin clasped his hands around his chest and sneered, "Why don't you go, keep going, I want to see what official business you are busy with all day long."

The little guy was so excited by this meaningful sentence that his heart beat wildly, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to lead the way.

Peeling aside the dazzling flowers, you will see a small and delicate courtyard.

It was supposed to be an elegant picture of gurgling water, but it was broken by the Yin/sound/wave/cry that broke through the sky.

The little guy lowered his head, eager to bury himself in the ground.

He doesn't

Dare to look at Gu Rin's face, but he really felt the cold aura around Gu Rin's body in an instant.

In the hall opposite the courtyard, a man and a woman did not know that outsiders were coming, and the voices became more and more unsightly.

Gu Rin stepped into the courtyard gate with one foot, his heart was full of coldness, and he casually brushed away a pot of lotus placed on the wide stone.

The porcelain basin shattered in response to the sound, and the clear sound exploded in the courtyard in an instant.

The county magistrate was immersed in joy, and the sudden voice frightened him almost on the spot.

His face was gloomy, and then he realized that there was a stranger standing in the courtyard, so he had to get up from the beautiful concubine, casually pulled a robe and put it on his body, and scolded in a cold tone, "Who!"

The beautiful concubine snorted, put on her robe unsatisfactorily, her eyes were like two poisonous snakes, and she stared at Gu Rin resentfully.

Gu Rin walked into the courtyard and stood at the door, what he saw was a scorching piece of white flowers on the Luohan bed, and he almost wanted to be disgusted, so he looked away in disgust.

He stared at the fine-colored mutton fat jade carving on the sandalwood frame and sneered.

"I came to bother with something, but I didn't know that the adults were so Yaxing, they were indeed very busy."

"Who are you?" Yao Chen squinted at the unattractive man in front of him, his dark skin and tattered clothes were just like a beggar on the street.

What kind of place is his county governor's mansion, how can ordinary people enter and exit at will.

Come in, come in, and break into the backyard, which is a good thing for yourself.

A pack of lawless cats and dogs!

Thinking of this, I was furious.

He cried out, "Whoever put you in, come here, pull this man out for me and put him to death!"

An order was given, but the courtyard was empty, and no one came.

Gu Rin stood upright in the courtyard, his eyebrows cold, looking at Yao who was like a wild beast.

The little guy only hides his body back to minimize his sense of presence.

He can't afford to provoke these two people in the courtyard, and he doesn't dare to provoke them.

Until the spring breeze blows, the wind chimes at the corner of the eaves are lifted, and an abrupt sound is scattered.

Only then did Yao Chen remember that in order to flirt/flirt with the beautiful concubine before, he had sent the subordinates who served here to the front yard early.

He blackened his face and slapped the table angrily.

Gu Rin sneered, stretched out his hand, and uncovered the human/skin mask on his face.

A face that was so handsome that it did not resemble a mortal was completely exposed.

Yao Chen looked at it fixedly, and his heart suddenly panicked, and he was in a hurry, and he rolled down directly from the Luohan bed, causing the beautiful concubine to exclaim.

He didn't have time to comfort the frightened concubine, and raised his hand to constantly wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

With such a face, looking at the entire Daqi officialdom, no one knows.

The courage on the battlefield, the close minister of the Son of Heaven, the youngest hussar general in the history of the Great Qi.

These names, any one of them, can make people enjoy a lifetime of glory, wealth and flattery.

However, Gu Rin alone put them all on his body.

This big Buddha is more difficult to serve than His Royal Highness the Prince.

Thinking about what he had just said, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel cold all over.

"Xiaguan...... I didn't know that the general came to the humble house, and I didn't greet him, I was really ashamed, and I hope that the general will atone for his sins."

Yao Chen hid his trembling hands in his sleeves and said stiffly.

But there was a storm in his heart, and he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

He didn't know why Gu Rin suddenly arrived in You County three days earlier than the time when the spies came from the letter, and he wondered if the other party had already discovered that the group of people who were intercepted halfway were from his own hand.

But when you think about it, it's unlikely.

The people were sent by the hands of the Hu people, and those assassins did not understand the official language or Chinese characters, so even if they were caught alive by Gu Rin, they would not be able to interrogate anything.

Besides, he is a Han official, living under the nose of supervision every day, why do he go all the way to trade with the Hu people?

Thinking of this, Yao Chen relaxed slightly.

The account is not on his head.

Even if the prince is suspicious

If you have no evidence, you can't judge your sin by just your mouth.

The only thing to explain now is the tragic situation of this dazzling jewel and You County's name.

The crime of embezzlement is at best exile, not death, much less than disobedience and murder, and the forces behind him will not abandon him.

Thinking like this, Yao Chen completely let go of the stone in his heart, and looked at Gu Rin with a little more confidence.

He only wanted to rejoice that he had escaped the death penalty, but he didn't know how ridiculous it was to visit the important ministers of the court in the blue sky and daylight.

The parents of You County, since the Li family was killed, have become more and more erosive, and now they are here in Yao Chen, and even their backbones are gone.

Gu Rin sneered, looked around the hall, and sneered, "Humble House? My lord, this house for the pleasure of the concubines, is no more backward than the pavilion where the harem concubines live, so how can it be called a cold house with such an exquisite arrangement?"

Yao Chen heard the allusion in his words, wiped his sweat, got up lightly, smiled in his mouth, and said, "Don't dare, it's all worthless things, it really makes the general laugh......

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the beautiful concubine and asked her to hurry down.

The beautiful concubine's eyes full of autumn water stuck to Gu Rin's face, with obsession and reluctance.

She had never seen such a good-looking Lang Jun, with a posture like a pine and handsome eyebrows, compared with the fat-headed and big-eared Yao in front of her, it was simply different.

And if Yao Chen can be treated so respectfully, the other party's official rank must be higher than Yao Chen.

If you can climb the ......

The beautiful concubine's eyes rolled, and under Yao Chen's silent urging, she retreated step by step.

Yao Chen naturally couldn't discuss with Gu Rin with this appearance, so he apologized and went back to the room to change his clothes in embarrassment.

*

Gu Rin was invited to the middle hall and sat on the main seat, Yao Chen served delicious food and drink, and did not dare to slack off.

After a while, Yao Chen changed his clothes, walked eagerly from outside, and sat beside him.

"I wonder if these things are to the general's liking?"

Gu Rin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "It's okay."

Seeing that Gu Rin didn't ask about You County, Yao Chen said boldly: "I heard that the general likes to drink tea, this tea is a good Pu'er brought by Xiaguan's cousin from the south, and Xiaguan still has a few in his house, why don't you send it to the general?"

He also said this with a bit of temptation in it.

Although Gu Rin was in power, it was rumored that his relationship with the crown prince was not harmonious. Gu Rin suddenly came to You County one step ahead of the prince, and he must have had a dislike with him again.

And Gu Rin saw Yao Chen wandering in the mansion, except for the initial two words of ridicule, he did not make any more moves.

It may mean that he came alone this time not to track down the plague and embezzlement in Youxian County, but to have other demands.

Yao Chen smiled and added tea to Gu Rin while calculating in his heart.

It's good to have other appeals, and if there are appeals, it proves that there are bargaining chips, and he still has room for maneuver.

Just don't stab his family background in front of the prince's eyes, everything is easy to say.

Gu Rin picked up the full teacup and took a sip.

"The taste is indeed acceptable, there is no need to send tea, I will look for you today, not to you for tea."

Yao Chen immediately sat up straight, his eyes swirling, and all the calculated light in his eyes was suppressed.

"What is the commanding of the general's coming?"
