"Naturally, Shuangxue came to me to say hello when she left, and I told her at the time, come to me if you have anything." Cheng Qihou nodded and replied.

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Ye Luo replied.

"How about it, why don't I go to the county order and tell him not to be difficult for you?" asked Cheng Qihou.

Ye Luo thought for a while, and then said, "Isn't this too troublesome for Master Hou?"

"It's not troublesome, it's just a trivial matter, I guess, there should be some misunderstanding in this. Cheng Qihou said.

"Master Hou, I don't think it's a misunderstanding?" Ye Luo suddenly said with some concern.

Cheng Qi Hou frowned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Is it not a misunderstanding?"

"When the county Cheng went to the villa just now, he deliberately said before leaving, I know that our owner is very familiar with the previous Hu County Order and Hou Ye. ”

As soon as Ye Luo's words fell, Chengqi Hou immediately stood up and asked, "What, do you know each other?"

"Yes, that's why I think this matter is a little difficult to handle, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered Master Hou. Ye Luo replied.

Chengqi Hou pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "That's it, I'll go now, you go back and wait for my news, if you have a reply, I'll send someone to tell you." ”

"In this way, then thank you Master Hou!"

"No need to be polite, you can go back. ”

After speaking, Ye Luo left the Hou Mansion and returned to the Stygian Leaf Villa.

Chengqi Hou was still very concerned about Chi Zhongtian's affairs, so not long after Ye Luo left, he also ordered people to prepare a carriage and prepare to go to the county government.

In fact, the change of the county order in Shezhou City was also many days ago, but Ye Luo knew it late, and this time the county order was different from usual, in the past, every county order, and even every official who came to Shezhou, would politely visit the Marquis of Chengqi, but this Qin Youhe never came.

But Cheng Qi Hou doesn't care about this, if you don't come, you won't come, it's not a big deal.

Not long after, the carriage arrived in front of the county yamen, and the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion first ordered someone to stop the carriage, and then said to the officials in front of the county yamen: "Please go to Tongyu, and say that the Marquis of Chengqi came to visit the county commander." ”

When the official in front of the door heard this, he glanced at the carriage and ran in.

After a short time, a man dressed in the uniform of a county magistrate came out of it, looking about fifty years old, with a thin figure, a three-inch black beard, and a very majestic face, and he looked like he had a sense of fear.

"Qin Youhe, the new county commander of Shezhou City, I don't know that the Hou Ye is here, and he will miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive the sin!"

Cheng Qihou quickly walked out of the carriage, and after getting down, he walked over with a smile and said, "Lord Qin is polite, Ben Hou Tang came here suddenly, I don't know if it will delay your lord's business." ”

"Master Hou is polite, please inside!"

"Your Excellency, please!"

Qin Youhe let Chengqi Hou to the main hall in the backyard of the yamen, ordered someone to serve tea, and then said: "Xia Guan has just taken office, and many things have not been completely figured out, so I didn't have time to visit Hou Ye, Hou Ye don't blame him." ”

It seems that Qin Youhe felt that the Marquis of Cheng Qi came here in person because he was not polite.

Cheng Qi Hou smiled faintly and said: "Lord Qin said that he was joking, Ben Hou is an idler, how dare he work hard to drive, today, there is also something to find the adult." ”

Saying this, Qin Youhe knew in his heart, it seemed that this was nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace.

"Well, Master Hou, please tell me, if you have any orders, the lower officials will definitely do their best to help. ”

Seeing that Qin Youhe was quite polite, Cheng Qi Hou said directly: "Ben Hou has a friend named Chi Zhongtian outside this Shezhou City, and the place where he lives is near Mingbo Lake, named Styx Leaf Villa, I don't know if the adults know about this?"

Originally, Qin Youhe's face was very good-looking, but when he heard Cheng Qihou's words, he immediately changed his face.

"Master Hou, the lower officials don't understand what you mean by this?"

Cheng Qi Hou smiled slightly, and then said: "You and I are both officials in Shezhou City, and we must be honest with each other, and Ben Hou will not hide it from adults, just now, the people from the Stygian Leaf Villa came to tell me that there is a person who claims to be the county seat of this county, and wants them to tear down the wall that has just been built, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, this matter is true, it was arranged by the lower officials. Qin Youhe didn't shy away from it at all, and said it straightforwardly, without even half a moment of hesitation.

Cheng Qi Hou was a little surprised to see him answer so happily.

"I don't know, why did your lord arrange it like this?" Cheng Qihou then asked.

"Hou Ye, near Mingbo Lake, except for the garden that has been built before, the rest of the land is owned by the imperial court, and, a year ago, the imperial court just made a decree, where the scenery is beautiful, within twenty miles around, no houses shall be built, Xiaguan has found someone to calculate, the garden is less than ten miles away from Mingbo Lake, but Xiaguan has also found out that the garden was built many years ago, so, that's it, but, the wall outside the garden, but it has only recently begun to be built, which is obviously against the will of the imperial court, so Xiaguan let people go and ordered it to be demolished。 ”

Qin Youhe's words were reasonable and well-founded, and they didn't seem to give people a chance to refute.

Of course, the Marquis of Chengqi also knew that the imperial court had made this decree a year ago, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Because of the "beautiful scenery" mentioned by the imperial court, the scope is too wide.

What is Scenic Beauty?

Isn't this all up to the local officials and people?

"Lord Qin, your words are right, but this Mingbo Lake is not a famous lake with beautiful scenery, and it is a beautiful place at the beginning of the day. Cheng Qi Hou said with a smile.

"Hou Ye's words are wrong, Mingbo Lake is a famous scenery in Shezhou, and a famous lake in the south of the Yangtze River, the sunny day is like water and bright splendor, sparkling ten thousand points of blue waves, there are such famous sentences to praise Mingbo Lake, this Mingbo Lake, is it not a beautiful scenery?"

After Qin Youhe finished speaking, he smiled and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and while drinking, his eyes inadvertently aimed at Chengqi Hou.

Cheng Qihou was choked by his words, and couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

"My lord, this Chi Zhongtian and Ben Hou have a very good relationship, can you ask your Excellency to sell Ben Hou a thin noodle?"

Since he couldn't find anything to refute, Cheng Qihou simply didn't find a reason, and directly pointed out the most critical point.

Qin Youhe seemed to have expected that Cheng Qi Hou would say this, he slowly put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and then coughed slightly.
