Liu Jingxuan saw that the official expression changed color, and asked softly, "Why are you so alarmed?"

The official hurriedly said: "Outside the door, the head catcher of Nangong is about to make a move with a swordsman!"

Liu Jingxuan frowned and snorted: "It's getting more and more presumptuous." Holding knives and guns all day long, it is still inevitable that the rivers and lakes will be arrogant. Wait for me to go out and see?"

When Chu Jinglian heard this, his face was very embarrassed.

The corner of Liu Jingxuan's eyes swept Chu Jinglian's face, and he smiled slightly: "Outside Chu Yuan, this official will go outside the door to take a look, and you and Lord Xiao will sit here for the time being." ”

Chu Jinglian hurriedly got up: "The adults have important things to do, and the villains are inconvenient to disturb." That's the farewell. ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded, turned around and strode towards the gate of the prefect's mansion. Xiao Rang and Chu Jinglian followed closely. When I came to the gate of the mansion, I saw that outside the door, Nangong Huangyun and a white-robed man had already exchanged hands. On one side, there were Zhuge Qinglin and Zhuge Yue and a group of officials standing in the distance. Zhuge Qingyi's expression was complicated and silent. Zhuge Yue covered his mouth with his sleeve, and he was shocked to see it.

Liu Jingxuan shouted: "Stop!"

When Nangong Xuanyun and the white-robed man heard this, they both stepped back.

Liu Jingxuan's face turned pale, and he stepped forward slowly: "Nangong Huangyun, why are you so presumptuous on the occasion of the Shangyuan Festival!"

Nangong Huangyun didn't expect Liu Jingxuan to be so annoyed, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Guilty of despicable duty." It's just..."

Liu Jingxuan's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "Just what?"

Nangong Huangyun pointed at the white-robed man, and said in a slightly timid voice: "It's just that this person is following Miss Zhuge with bad intentions." I can't see it, and I want to arrest it and ask what happened. ”

Liu Jingxuan snorted and asked coldly, "Why do you have bad intentions?"

Nangong Huangyun stumbled, and couldn't answer for a while.

Liu Jingxuan flicked the sleeves of his robe and said in a cold voice: "It turns out that you want to perform a heroic play to save the beauty, so you took a knife and a gun in front of everyone to demonstrate the wind." ”

Nangong Huangyun heard it in a cold sweat: "Guilty of despicable duty." ”

Liu Jingxuan shouted: "Come on, take down Nangong Huangyun, and punish forty with a cane!"

But none of the officials around him stepped forward.

Liu Jingxuan's eyebrows trembled: "Don't you even listen to the words of this mansion?"

At this time, two officials came over and pretended to pull Nangong Xuanyun down.

Liu Jingxuan immediately changed into a smiling face, came to the white-robed man, and hugged his fists: "This son, please!"

The white-robed man was shocked by the scene just now, Liu Jingxuan stepped forward to greet him, and the white-robed man woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people see the prefect Qingtian." ”

Liu Jingxuan stroked the short hair under his chin, and looked the white-robed man up and down: "May I ask Your Excellency's name, why did you have a dispute with my subordinates?"

The white-robed man kowtowed his head again: "Zhou Zijian, a grass citizen, rushed into Lord Nangong, and he deserves death." ”

"Zhou Zijian. Liu Jingxuan's mind flashed: "What a familiar name." Seems to have heard of it somewhere. ”

After that, he gently picked up Zhou Zijian and looked up and down. Liu Jingxuan confirmed that he had not met Zhou Zijian, but the name was too familiar. Where did he hear it, Liu Jingxuan couldn't remember it for a while.

Chu Jinglian took a step forward and hugged his fist at Zhou Zijian: "Brother Zhou, long time no see." I wonder if you remember it?"

Zhou Zijian looked Chu Jinglian up and down, bowed, and said: "Outside the Yuhuang Terrace, it is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Liu Jingxuan looked at the two: "Are you waiting to get acquainted?"

Chu Jinglian smiled and said, "I and Zhou Daxia are only one-sided, and I don't want to meet here today." ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Zhou Gongzi doesn't know why he had a dispute with Nangong Catcher?"

Zhou Zijian's face turned red: "The villain is Yangzhou City that arrived today." When I saw an acquaintance, I followed him all the way. I don't want Nangong to catch the head and claim that I am a rooster and dog thief, and I will be arrested and asked for guilt. That's why the two of us are fighting here. I collided with an adult, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

Liu Jingxuan asked, "But I don't know who the acquaintance you are talking about?"

Zhou Zijian pointed to Zhuge Qinglin not far away.

Liu Jingxuan smiled and nodded, and beckoned to Zhuge Qinglin: "Zhuge girl, please come close and speak." ”

Zhuge Qinglin walked in front of Liu Jingxuan and others, fluttering and blessed: "The people's girl gives a gift to the adult." ”

Liu Jingxuan said with a smile: "I heard that Zhou Gongzi and the girl know each other, so Zhou Gongzi followed here." I didn't expect the two of them to be so fateful, as the so-called..."

"The folk girl doesn't know this Zhou Gongzi. Liu Jingxuan wanted to continue, but Zhuge Qinglin immediately interrupted him.

The smile on Liu Jingxuan's face immediately froze, and he stood on the spot, embarrassed. Even though Liu Jingxuan has been in the officialdom for many years, the scene in front of him makes him at a loss.

Zhou Zijian's face on the side turned even redder, and he bowed his head and was speechless.

Chu Jinglian hurriedly rounded the field: "Zhuge girl, have you forgotten that you, Zhou Gongzi and Zai played the piano and ate wine on the Jade Phoenix Terrace that day?"

Zhuge Qinglin's face was calm, and he said calmly: "I remember." However, he did not have a word with Zhou Gongzi, nor did he drink and talk. So I don't know this Zhou Gongzi, Zhou Daxia. ”

Chu Jinglian was also speechless, and his face was extremely ugly.

Zhuge Qinglin said lightly: "Lord Liu." The folk girl thinks that it is really unfair for you to punish Nangong for catching heads. ”

Liu Jingxuan tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and said lightly: "I don't know why Miss Zhuge said that?"

Zhuge Qinglin took a step forward slightly, and looked at Liu Jingxuan with both eyes. Liu Jingxuan could see that Zhuge Qinglin's eyes were like autumn water, and his face was as cold as the Moon Palace, and he couldn't help but feel a spirit.

Zhuge Qinglin said lightly: "I heard that the people with lofty ideals do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and the incorruptible do not drink the food that comes from the mouth. I think that at the beginning, this Zhou Gongzi once followed me all the way to Yuhuangtai. Originally, the people's daughter was hindered by the golden face outside the Chu Yuan, so she did not mention it. Today, this Zhou Gongzi still has bad habits and has followed me so far. How can such a rooster and dog thief be called a 'hero'. It is his duty for Nangong to catch the head and arrest him. Why did Lord Liu punish indiscriminately without asking the reason, isn't the adult's behavior as impartial and selfless, with clear rewards and punishments as the people say?"

Although the winter night was sad and cold, Liu Jingxuan still sweated all over. He felt more and more afraid of the woman in front of him. (Women are educated, the more you think about it, the more terrible it becomes!)

Xiao Rang, who had been silent, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Zhuge is very right. This Zhou Gongzi did misbehave. But the girl was too serious. Miss Zhuge is full of sweat and sweat in reading, why is her mind so open-minded that she can't tolerate people. What's more, this Zhou Gongzi didn't do anything really out of the ordinary to the girl. It can be seen that this son has admired the girl for a long time, and it must be a kind of fate to meet again in Yangzhou. If the girl doesn't want to, she can understand that she can send it away. ”
