In the study of the official residence, Guan Xinrui came here with Qiao'er one after another.

Obviously, Qiao'er was a little nervous, after all, she and her wife had turned over a lot of the master's things before, and she would be called to the study so weak that she thought the master had found something.

"Master, what did you ask me to come over?"

Seeing Qiao'er, who came in with her head bowed, raised her head in apprehension, Guan Xinrui's face was pleasant.

"Calling you over is to ask about the latest events, I haven't had time to read the Yamen documents, the people in the Yamen lobby before are confused, and there are a lot of details, you come and talk to me."

Hearing that it was this, Qiao'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master"

Qiao'er was about to speak, but saw Guan Xinrui raise her hand to stop her words and pointed to the door.

"Go close the door."

Qiao'er didn't doubt him, and responded, "Yes!" After that, he went to close the door, but as soon as he closed the door of the study, his body was hugged from behind by two big hands.

One is girdled around the waist and the other is wrapped around the chest.

"Ahh

Qiao'er was so frightened that she shouted, in fact, like Liu, she also had a faint fear of Guan Xinrui, but she didn't think as deeply as Liu.

"Master, don't, don't."

"Why?"

"Here, this is the study"

When Qiao'er spoke, Guan Xinrui didn't stop at all, so that her tone trembled, and she didn't know if she was afraid of more or something else.

It is said that scholars have no power to restrain chickens, but this is obviously not necessarily true, Qiao'er only feels that the old man has a lot of strength at the moment, and she can't help but think of the night she broke the melon.

was almost carried from behind and went directly to the bookcase over there, and Qiao'er was pressed on the bookcase with a "bang".

The hands subconsciously support the body in order to maintain balance, and the shirt has been undone, and the inside of the long skirt has been rudely ripped off.

The dilemma and posture at this moment, Qiao'er seemed to be familiar in a trance.

In the confusion of thoughts, I remembered that it was the posture on the old man's obscene picture scroll, and suddenly my heart gradually rippled.

"Ahh

The irrepressible shouts in the study naturally spread outside, and as long as they were not deaf, the officials on duty not far outside could also hear them.

However, the official pretended not to hear, looked back at the direction of the study door, and could only whisper a few words of "tsk".

After a long time, Qiao'er lay on the bookcase in rags, her sweat-stained face flushed, but she was gasping weakly.

And Guan Xinrui was still lying on his back, reaching out and gently touching Qiao'er's cheek.

"Qiao'er, my wife and I are not thin on you, the master intends to make you a concubine, and I don't think my wife will object!"

Qiao'er had a smile on her tired face, which was a significant increase in her status, from a subordinate to a master.

"Thank you, sir"

"Well, thank you, ma'am!"

Guan Xinrui said this with a smile, his hand gently caressing Qiao'er's cheek to his back, and all this in front of him made him feel comfortable and satisfied.

Compared with Liu Huifang, Qiao'er, a little girl, can be manipulated by herself, and she has a sense of pleasure in controlling everything.

"By the way, let's talk about those days, don't worry, talk slowly."

Qiao'er stood up with her body propped up, and while dressing, she didn't dare to hide anything about that day.

Ghosts attacked, Taoists cast spells, and the officials of the county government besieged and killed together, among which the horror and danger came out of Qiao'er's mouth, which was much clearer than the exaggerated statements of the county officials.

After all, Qiao'er has always been by Liu Huifang's side, and has experienced almost everything from beginning to end.

Guan Xinrui has been listening carefully, and will not easily interrupt Qiao'er's words, and will hug her when Qiao'er talks about the fear in her heart.

Just hearing the back, Guan Xinrui's brows never stretched.

"That's what the goblin shouted?"

The sentence "return my husband, return my life" made Guan Xinrui's scalp a little numb at this moment, and there was a layer of goosebumps on his body.

He suddenly remembered what he had seen with his father-in-law when he was here with a basin to observe dragon scales.

Could it be her, she's here to ask for her life?

When Qiao'er nodded slightly, Guan Xinrui's face became a little pale, and his fear rose irrepressibly, but he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.

"That Daoist has already killed the evil ghost, right?"

At this moment, Guan Xinrui was sitting on the soft couch on one side, and Qiao'er was already sitting on his lap, and nodded lightly again when he heard this.

"Well, Xue Daochang's spell is magical, first trapped the ghost, and then cast a spell to summon a fire dragon, which directly entangled the ghost and burned her, beating her to ashes. And then there hasn't been an accident in the past few days! ”

Guan Xinrui slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good if it's gone, that's good."

In just such a moment, Guan Xinrui's sweat was no less than just now, but then his heart skipped a slight beat, his wife Huifang is a knowledgeable and talented woman, and her mind is meticulous.

"Qiao'er, Madame didn't say anything after that, did she?"

"Madame. What do you say?"

Qiao'er faced the lord's gaze at the moment, her eyes were a little dodgy subconsciously, she and her wife had been in the study for a long time, and the lord had seen some private things.

"No, no."

Guan Xinrui frowned, Qiao'er's dodging look was too suspicious.

"Qiao'er, my second lady, tell me honestly, is there any? Did you go back to your parents' house and say anything to your father-in-law? ”

Qiao'er hurriedly shook her head.

"No, no, Mrs. has not returned to her parents' house, and when Master Liu and Mrs. Liu came to visit, they only expressed concern to each other, and asked more about the ghosts of the Taoist, and Master Liu also rewarded Daoist Xue and Zhong Zhutou separately."

Guan Xinrui nodded.

"That Xue Daochang is indeed a strange person, if he has the opportunity, he must make a special trip to thank him, Zhong Zhutou is indeed reliable, I hope he will recover from his injury and return to the yamen to do things as soon as possible."

Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and didn't ask about the study.

"Yes, Madame also said that Zhong Zhutou in the yamen is a trustworthy person!"

Guan Xinrui smiled and nodded, but looked at Qiao'er as if he had an intuition and asked again.

"You can trust it, so what have you entrusted?"

A hint of panic flashed across Qiao'er's face.

"No, it's nothing, oh oh, Madame once made a special trip to thank Zhong Zhutou, and felt that the yamen had less reward."

"Oh, too, the yamen's reward is less, by the way, Zhong Zhutou is recuperating at home, right?"

Qiao'er nodded again and again and didn't dare to say more, but the change in her face was not obvious in Guan Xinrui's eyes, in the case of close face-to-face.

It's just that Guan Xinrui didn't ask anything more at this moment, just said with a smile that everything was over, and his eyes looking at Qiao'er took on another color again.

"Madame is sick and not suitable to do husband and wife affairs with my master, thanks to Qiao'er can help me"

"Sir, you. Ahh

This time it was pressed under his back, and this time it was on the couch.

By the time Qiao'er returned to Liu's room, almost half an hour had passed.

Liu, who was lying on the bed, saw Qiao'er's uneasy look and the sweat stains that were still sticking to some of his sideburns, and he probably understood what had just happened without asking more.

The two girls whispered in the room for a while, but they didn't feel anything wrong just by Qiao'er's narration and their own feelings.

——

In the evening, on a small road somewhere in Haiyu County, Guan Xinrui, who was dressed in regular clothes, and two officials were moving forward, one of whom pointed to the side of the trail in front of him.

"My lord, there it is!"

"Hmm!"

The three of them soon came to a small courtyard, which was Zhong Xingwen's home, and then one of the officials went to call the door.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Is anyone there? Zhong catches the head. Clock catches the head."

After a while, Mrs. Zhong came out and opened the courtyard door, and she couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw the three people outside.

"You are"

The two officials hurriedly saluted.

"Sister-in-law, let's take a look at Zhong Zhutou, this is the county lord!"

Guan Xinrui smiled, and also bowed at this moment.

"Guan was rude, he came here to visit but didn't bring a gift, I don't know how Zhong Zhutou's body is?"

While speaking, Guan Xinrui looked at the courtyard, only one child was looking curiously at the door in the courtyard, and did not see Zhong Xingwen.

The woman's eyes widened.

"It turned out to be the county lord in person, please come in, please come in!"

"Oh, it's inconvenient for me to wait, Guan just came to say thank you in his personal capacity, Zhong Zhutou is there?"

Hearing the county lord say this, the woman could only smile helplessly.

"Adults don't know, yesterday the husband accompanied me back to my parents' house, but I left him after a meal, saying that it was rare to approve leave, and I plan to go out to visit an old man and learn both skills."

Guan Xinrui frowned slightly, and looked at the two catchers who accompanied him on the left and right, obviously these two people didn't know.

"I don't know who Zhong Zhutou is visiting, where is he now, and when will he come back? The county government is indispensable for Zhong to catch the head! ”

Guan Xinrui was still pleasant, but the woman just shook her head.

"I've never heard of it."

"Didn't you say it?"

The woman thought for a moment and shook her head.

"I didn't say it."

Guan Xinrui nodded, as if he suddenly thought of something, took out a certain amount of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the woman in front of the door.

"Since Zhong Zhutou is not here, then this thank you gift can only be handed over to Mrs. Zhong, this is a thank you gift from someone, a little heart, please accept it!"

"Hey, my lord, I can't help it, the prime minister has already been rewarded."

"Guan Mou said, this is a personal thank you gift, please Mrs. Zhong don't refuse."

The woman could not refuse, so she had to hand down the silver, and she had to weigh twenty taels.

Then Guan Xinrui and his entourage said goodbye and left, really didn't even go in to drink a sip of tea, the woman looked at the back of the three people leaving at the courtyard gate, and couldn't help muttering.

"What a good officer."

It's just that the good official in Mrs. Zhong's mouth over there is a cloudy and uncertain face at the moment.

Guan Xinrui strode ahead, and his steps became faster and faster, even making the two catchers a little unable to keep up.

Although it can't be regarded as any evidence, the instinctive panic gives Guan Xinrui a strong inclination intuition, and it is better to be wrong than careless!

Zhong Xingwen, I'm afraid that he has already gone to Dingfeng County in Dahekou!
