Chapter Eighty-Seven: Strange Conditions
Jiang Ci had no choice but to follow.
At the same time, he had already thought about what he should do if he faced Xu Zilin's anger.
Thinking all the way, Jiang Ci followed Wei Yuqing to the door of the county mansion.
The catcher at the door looked at the strange woman in front of him, and then looked at Jiang Ci who was following behind her, and there was an inexplicable look on his face.
"Jiang Ci, what are you doing here to find the master, who is this woman, and what kind of relatives are yours?"
Catch Kuai asked Jiang Ci with a smile on his face.
Looking at the smiles on each other's faces, Jiang Ci naturally knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
He took a step forward.
"This woman is the family member of the guard who died that day, and she came to the lord to discuss something, you go and report it personally, if the lord wants to see us, we will go in, if the lord doesn't see us, we won't go in."
As soon as Jiang Ci's words fell, Wei Yuqing behind him spoke.
"No, even if the county order doesn't let us in, I have to see him."
Jiang Ci turned his head and glanced at Wei Yuqing a little helplessly, but he didn't speak again, just signaled the catcher in front of him to hurry up and inform Xu Zilin.
Caught quickly, turned around and ran away.
It didn't take long for Xu Zilin to receive the news.
"Why is she here again, didn't Jiang Ci say that she would handle this matter well? Let Jiang Ci deal with it, this official is gone! ”
He hesitated for a moment, and then told Xu Zilin what Wei Yuqing said at the door.
It didn't take long for the door in front of the catcher to be opened by Xu Zilin.
What caught his eye was Xu Zilin's angry face.
"She threatens the official like this, she really doesn't take the official as a parent official!"
Although Xu Zilin said this, he still sighed and walked towards the door.
Just after walking a few steps, Xu Zilin suddenly stopped, and the catcher behind him almost didn't stop the car, and almost crashed into Xu Zilin's back.
"What's the matter, sir, why did you stop suddenly."
Catch Kuai asked Xu Zilin with some doubts.
"How can I go to them like this? Just bring them to the main hall. ”
After saying that, Xu Zilin turned his head and walked in the direction of the main hall.
Catch quickly and continue to trot towards the door.
"How about it, does the master want to see us?"
Seeing the catcher who came over, Jiang Ci hurriedly asked.
He nodded, and then turned his head to look at Wei Yuqing, who was standing expressionlessly.
"The master said to let you go to the main hall, but Jiang Ci knows where it is, so I won't go."
Jiang Ci nodded, and before he could open his mouth when he turned his head to look at Wei Yuqing, Wei Yuqing raised his legs and walked towards the mansion.
Jiang Ci hurriedly chased after him.
"Do you know where the main hall is, just go in such a hurry, you are not afraid of going to a place where you shouldn't go in, and you will be caught and beheaded?"
Wei Yuqing didn't know how to answer Jiang Ci: "If you can really cut off my head, I can rest assured, my brother is gone, but I am left alone, and I don't think I can live." ”
When Jiang Ci heard this, he suddenly fell silent.
I have to say that Wei Yuqing's words made Jiang Ci not know how to take it back at all.
Jiang Ci silently crossed Wei Yuqing to show her the way.
After a while, the two of them arrived in the main hall.
"Master, my subordinates greet my master."
Jiang Ci looked at Xu Zilin who was sitting on top of the main hall, and he didn't need to look closely at him to realize that Xu Zilin was in a bad mood.
Xu Zilin didn't speak, his eyes fell on Wei Yuqing, who was standing on the side.
Jiang Ci originally wanted to pull Wei Yuqing to kneel down together, but Wei Yuqing stiffened his legs and was unwilling to bend his knees.
After a long time, Xu Zilin slowly spoke.
"We are all sorry for your brother's death, but now it is an irreparable thing, now that your brother's body has been buried, and the official has given you enough silver taels, what are you still dissatisfied with."
"I don't want your silver taels, I only want my brother, you made my brother lose his life like this, you have to give an explanation."
Xu Zilin listened to Wei Yuqing's words, and laughed angrily for a moment.
He slowly stood up and walked down from the temple.
He didn't stop until he walked in front of Wei Yuqing.
At this time, he lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Ci, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Jiang Ci, you get up first."
When Jiang Ci heard this, he slowly stood up.
"It's better like this, anyway, Jiang Ci and your brother's age should not be much different, it's better to let Jiang Ci be your brother in the future."
Xu Zilin rolled his eyes, and immediately opened his mouth to say to Wei Yuqing.
At this time, both of them looked at Xu Zilin with a surprised expression.
"Master, this is not appropriate."
Jiang Ci swallowed his saliva, and then said to Xu Zilin in a trembling voice.
"I don't need such a brother, I just need an elder brother who can take care of me from time to time, Jiang Ci can't."
Even Wei Yuqing directly refused.
Xu Zilin pretended to have a headache and reached out to support his forehead.
"If this doesn't work, then you might as well talk about what you think is feasible."
Xu Zilin simply threw the problem back to Wei Yuqing again.
Wei Yuqing lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before looking up at Xu Zilin.
"I will follow you in the future, take me wherever you go, I will be your sister."
Xu Zilin was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Wei Yuqing in front of him with wide eyes.
And Wei Yuqing's face was full of seriousness, Xu Zilin saw it very clearly, Wei Yuqing was not joking with himself at all.
"This is impossible, let's die before it is too late."
Xu Zilin refused Wei Yuqing without hesitation.
"If you don't agree to me, I will bother you every day, so that the people of the entire Penglai County will know that I will be the sister you recognize, even if you don't admit it, the people of the entire Penglai County will also admit it."
Wei Yuqing did not hesitate to threaten Xu Zilin.
Xu Zilin chuckled, and he leaned close to Wei Yuqing slightly.
"Do you think that this official, as the parent official of Penglai County, is also the only county lord in the hearts of many people, will they believe your rumors?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Wei Yuqing chuckled.
Xu Zilin suddenly felt that something seemed wrong with the person in front of him.
It stands to reason that Wei Yuqing's only brother died so unexpectedly, and she shouldn't have remembered to come to herself to talk about these things.
But Wei Yuqing in front of him was very anxious, as soon as he knew the news of his brother's death, he couldn't help but come to Xu Zilin to ask for other benefits, that is, he didn't want money, this kind of behavior was too suspicious.
