Chapter 357 5.39 The beauty of Puliu, only you have mercy on me
Volume [-]

5.39 The posture of Puliu is only for your pity.
That night, the Xue family's inner house.

"So, Brother Zhou arranged for someone to do it." Even though Zhao Qiying had expected it and knew that today's matter would be serious, he never expected that someone would do such a trick, "Abducted Jia Zhifu's wife? Let's not talk about today's government. What happened outside the Yamen Prison has already caused the magistrate to lose his face. If it happens again..."

"A dignified magistrate was forced to hide in a prison by a mere warrior with three or fifty people and did not dare to come out. This is enough to ruin his future in the court." Zhou Yang said with a sneer, "But... As a man, he couldn't even save his own woman and was abducted by a small government official. Who would dare to use this kind of trash?

From today on, his only place of activity is in the backyard of the government office, and he will not have any external contacts; no one will take care of his so-called "prefect" status, and he will truly "do not leave the government orders outside the government office" '; Even if he wanted to transfer to other places, there would definitely be no one to help him operate it. No matter how good the relationship was, he wouldn't want to get involved with this kind of person! "

"If I were Mr. Jia, I would definitely release the news as soon as possible, saying that Mrs. Jia heard that he was injured or died in the conflict. She was so worried that she fell ill and eventually died." Zhao Qiying said immediately, "So, we need to get the news out as soon as possible to completely solidify his reputation."

"Let him out of the matter of relying on the Rongguo Mansion for power but plotting against the Jia family's relatives, and of being greatly favored by Zhen Shiyin but disregarding his family's flesh and blood. Put this matter at the top of all our hands, and we must ensure it within the shortest possible time. Spread it all over the south of the Yangtze River." Zhou Yang said with a sneer, "Master Zhifu? How many people does he have?

Also, find a way to find the elopement disciples and Jiao Xing, and try your best to protect them from safely escaping from the Jiangnan boundary, and provide some help when necessary; as long as they are still there, Jia Yucun will find it difficult to turn around, especially those of his We must spread the word with all our strength to ensure that it is known to the whole world, so as to avoid any recurrence. "

"Brother Zhou, the price has been too high." Zhao Qiying frowned and said after thinking about it for a moment, "Should we choose a suitable time to let this severely humiliated prefect 'die of sorrow and anger'? At least we must ensure that he Is there no chance of turning over?"

"Then it will be at the end of the year. Don't forget to arrange manpower then." Zhou Yang nodded after thinking about it for a while, "This long time is enough to ensure that the news spreads, and it is also long enough to turn the prefect into a stone in the pit. , no one is willing to pay attention to it, or even touch it; one more thing, please write two letters for me later.

Just write to Jia Zheng. Write these things about Jia Yucun in detail and send them as quickly as possible. This second uncle Zheng has always prided himself on being upright, and he can't stand such unethical things. There is trouble; another letter is written to the princess, mainly to explain the matter clearly, and ask her to help solve it if there is any trouble in the court. "

"And that prince, Sheng Wang Qianhu?" Zhao Qiying said softly.

"Just pretend it didn't happen." Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head, "It's not surprising that there is a conflict in the army. Since we won, we can just keep silent and make a fortune. If we pursue it, it will look stingy. ; But this matter must be spread out, at least to completely tie the reputation of 'incompetent and useless' to Wang Zisheng!"

"We shouldn't have to worry about this reputation. He has already made it by himself." Zhao Qiying said while holding back a smile, "As for the two letters I just mentioned, my little sister's writing is not good. Should I leave it to the Xing family sister to work harder? "

"You!" Zhou Yang gently hugged the girl, kissed her for a long time and said with a smile, "You want to be jealous? If you are willing to bear it."

"Master, let's take Sister Xing in as soon as possible." Zhao Qiying gave him a gentle hammer and said with a smile, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so I really can't do such a thing; after being taken in by Master, Sister Xing has not been able to do anything until now. "Whereabouts, it can be said that there is something wrong now. If it happens in a few days, I am afraid that she will become ill from worry."

"What the hell -" Zhou Yang was dumbfounded by the word "Master" on the left and "Concubine" on the right, "It's still too idle to think about things all day long. In this way, you can go to Sister Lin's place later. , explain the matter clearly to her, so that she won’t worry in vain, and don’t forget about Qingwen girl, she is probably still in the fog now!”

"Sister Lin is petty. If I don't make it clear, I'm afraid she'll think too much." Zhao Qiying stood up after thinking about it, "I'll go right now - oh, Brother Zhou, you're..."

"Didn't I tell you? Go back later!" Zhou Yang picked her up and turned around to enter the inner room.

It wasn't until half past Haishi that Zhou Yang put on his clothes and went out with a mischievous smile. However, he was kicked out by Zhao Qiying, who couldn't bear the bullying. If the torment continued, she might not be able to go to Lin Daiyu and Qingwen to explain the situation; It was discovered that all the lights in the inner courtyard of the Xue family were lit at this time.He smiled bitterly and touched his nose, realizing that no one at home could sleep, but no matter what, it was impossible to take care of everyone, so he turned around and went to Xing Xiuyan's courtyard. This girl obviously had not adapted to her current status, and the two people arranged for her This little girl has been kicked out now. There are three main rooms and two wing rooms in the east and west in the entire small courtyard. She is the only one living there.

"Why are you here at this time?" When Zhou Yang came in, he found Xing Xiuyan leaning on the couch in the study room and reading a copy of the Lotus Sutra. Just by looking at her expression, it was clear that her mind was not on the book at all. When Zhou Yang entered the door, he didn't forget to put down the book and stood up to salute, "I just can't sleep at the table, so I don't want to disturb you."

"Okay!" Zhou Yang smiled and stepped forward, hugged the girl's waist, and pulled her back to the couch to sit down. However, he immediately felt that when his right hand came into contact, Xing Xiuyan's body was obviously a little stiff, "I I just finished dealing with things, and I went out for a walk with my back aching. I saw that you came in with the lights on. Why, you’re not used to it?"

"That's not the case." Xing Xiuyan was obviously a little nervous, and her smile was also forced, "It's just that I haven't lived in such a luxurious house since I was a child, so I can't believe it; not to mention that I have been doing nothing but eating and sleeping these days, so I really can't do anything. How can I help you? If this continues, I might gain weight."

"You!" Zhou Yang smiled and gently lifted the girl's chin, lowered his head and slowly approached her. He kissed her with a smile until her cheeks were red and her eyes were closed. After a while, he felt that she was obviously holding her breath and reluctantly let go, "Idiot , why are you nervous? You are called both 'Master' and 'Concubine', don't you feel tired and panicked?
Didn't I say at the beginning that after you enter the house, there will be plenty of work at home to make you work hard?I've been so busy these days that I didn't care about it. I was so busy today that I remembered that there is a talented girl at home who is free. I happened to be out for a walk in the evening, so I came to see you. What do you mean? As if you dislike it? "

"Concubine."

"Huh?" Zhou Yang interrupted her with a smile, "If you want in the future, you can just call me Brother Zhou. There is no need to talk about 'concubine or slave' here. We live as a family and remember the rules in our hearts." Okay; also, now that I have not returned to Beijing to take up my post, I have some free time. Once I am promoted to a real position, I will inevitably have to do with the writing, would you like to help take care of it?"

"Brother Zhou, can you really trust me?" I just followed Brother Zhou, so I'm not afraid."

"Are you afraid?" Zhou Yang smiled and hugged her tightly, his movements gradually getting bigger.

"Brother Zhou" Xing Xiuyan slowly closed his eyes, with tears falling from the corners of his eyes, "You are the only one who has mercy on me with my beauty!"

At the same time, Lin Daiyuyuan.

"Really?" Even if Zhao Qiying deliberately skipped some content that was inconvenient to say, such as Jia Yucun now galloping on the grassland, Lin Daiyu was still a little unbelievable, "Back then, he was arranged by his father to be a teacher in the mansion, and I followed him I have learned a lot and always thought he was a good person, and my father even wrote a letter of recommendation for him. How come he has become so miserable in just such a short period of time?"

After all, Jia Yucun took Lin Ruhai's letter of recommendation, and then took the path of Rong Guofu and became the prefect of Jinling. He was regarded as a disciple of the Lin family in the imperial palace. Now he has a fierce conflict with Zhou Yang. This kind of thing must be done no matter what. Make it clear that the province affects the relationship between the two parties. There is only one girl in the Lin family, Lin Daiyu, and she happens to be with her, so it is natural to explain to her.

"Miss Lin doesn't have to be like this." Zhao Qiying hugged her with a smile and said, "As the saying goes, 'people's hearts are separated from each other', who knows what it would be like to be tricked behind someone's back? Mr. Lin is so discerning, wouldn't he be deceived by him? Fortunately, it didn't last long. , he didn’t really do anything bad, but if he delayed it for too long, he would really do something bad.”

"Sister Qiying, don't worry, my little sister won't be unable to let go." Lin Daiyu hesitated for a while, then said softly, "Father, please don't worry, sister. My little sister will write a letter to explain the situation clearly."

"Thank you for your hard work, sister." Zhao Qiying nodded with a smile, then looked at Lin Daiyu with a strange expression and said, "I will explain to Brother Zhou and ask him to explain to Master Lin earlier, otherwise it will affect the relationship between the two families. Don’t make it difficult for your sister.”

"What's wrong with me? It's hard to do!" Lin Daiyu saw Zhao Qiying's teasing, her cheeks were blushing and she lowered her head.
