Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 727 An Embarrassing Meeting

Shihu ran away.

He ran not because he couldn't beat Yan Chixia and Zuo Qianhu, but because his whereabouts were exposed, and he was afraid that Li Xiuyuan would show up at any time.

The plan has only just begun, and Shi Hu doesn't want to die before he leaves.

"Damn it, he ran away, why did this Shihu appear in the capital wearing the armor of the Imperial Army and leading a group of Imperial Army?" Zuo Qianhu panted slightly, looking at the Shihu who had disappeared.

Yan Chixia's expression was serious: "I'm afraid this person has been lurking in the palace before, only in this way can he avoid the search of ghosts and gods, I have to talk to the scholar about this matter, let him be careful, Zuo Qianhu, you go Ask those forbidden soldiers, see if you can get any news from them?"

"Leave this to me." Zuo Qianhu said.

Not long after, Li Xiuyuan received a message from Yan Chixia.

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the lobby of the yamen, pondered at this moment: "Is that Shihu hiding in the palace?"

"So it's no wonder that with the palace as a shelter, even the thunder gods in the sky can't detect it. It is indeed a very safe place, but even if Shihu sneaked into the palace, he can only hide in the east. The armor of the commander, with the forbidden army freely entering and leaving the palace. It can be seen that he

With a legitimate court status. "

"From the identity of a bandit who gathered a crowd to rebel to become the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, this kind of ability can only be possessed by the national teacher."

"Are these two hooking up?"

"Besides, today is the first day I sent Thor to inspect the capital, so Shihu dared to step out. With his character, he would not take such a big risk, unless there is something more important than his revealing his identity?"

Li Xiuyuan stood up, looking at the dark night outside, he felt that the national teacher and Shi Hu were secretly planning something.

What he cares most about this old Black Mountain demon is not his morality, but his cunning and fierce methods like a tiger. This guy will never give up on what he wants to do, even if he fails once, he will continue to plan. The second time, the third time, and each method is more powerful than the first method

, as if you are constantly learning and growing.

"But having said that, Shihu, who has been hiding in the dark, has taken the initiative to reveal his whereabouts at this moment. It can be seen that he is also anxious." Li Xiuyuan showed a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have set a deadline of one month to lure this fierce tiger. Has it come out? Maybe he also knows that it will not be removed within a month.

If you leave me, you will have no chance in the future, and you will be killed by me sooner or later. "

It's easy to know that Shi Hu has leaked traces in the capital, as long as he seizes the opportunity, this guy will undoubtedly die.

The night passed.

On the second day, Li Xiuyuan was handling official business in the Yamen as usual. He did not lead a team to handle the case today, but let Cui Wei lead the team.

After leading the head for a few days, you don't need to do the rest by yourself.

However, early this morning, a beautiful girl came to the gate of the yamen. This girl was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was pretty and pretty. Come.

"Isn't this Miss Qiurong? Why did you come to the magistrate's yamen? Is there something wrong, or do you want to report the case to the official? You tell me, this matter is on me." The yamen servant on duty was replaced by One of the bodyguards who entered the bodyguard bureau saw Qiu Rong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly smiled.
greeted.

Who in the bodyguard bureau doesn't know that this Qiurong girl lives in the backyard of the young master. Although she is a troubled woman, she is always taken care of by the young master on weekdays. She chooses food and clothing well. How can they? I don't understand the importance of this girl in the Escort.

Qiu Rong saw these three big and five rough men being so courteous, she couldn't help but understand what was going on, her face blushed slightly and said: "Masters of the Escort Bureau, the little girl didn't come here to report the case, she just wanted to ask Is Lord Li in the yamen right now?"

"Miss Qiurong is asking the young master? Coincidentally, Cui Wei led the team to handle the case today, and the young master happened to be handling official business in the yamen. If it had been different from yesterday, Miss Qiurong, you would not have been able to see him." The bodyguard said with a smile: " What? Miss Qiurong, do you have something to do with the Eldest Young Master?"

Qiu Rong said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that many of the masters of the Escort suddenly disappeared, and Mr. Li didn't go back. I haven't seen Mr. Li in the backyard for several days. I asked about the situation and found out that Mr. Li My lord has moved to this yamen, thinking that lord Li probably hasn't eaten so early

I don't want food, so I came to visit today, and I will send some food to Mr. Li by the way. "

After finishing speaking, he slightly lowered his head and stroked the hair on his face, feeling that his words were inappropriate, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Oh, so that's the case." The two bodyguards were stunned.

I'm afraid that the young master was busy with official duties and neglected this lady, and now the lady has come to the door.

"Ma'am, oh, no, Miss Qiurong, the Eldest Young Master is inside right now? Since Miss Qiurong is here to look for the Eldest Young Master, go in quickly." The bodyguard said.

When Qiu Rong heard the slip of the tongue and called herself Madam, her heart couldn't help jumping, and she blushed immediately, but there was no resentment in her heart, but a bit of unspeakable joy.

"Small, does the little girl just go in like this? Don't you need to report anything?" She lowered her head and asked softly.

"Other people need to report, so is Miss Qiu Rong still want to report? If the young master finds out, he will definitely punish me later." The bodyguard said with a grin.

Only then did Qiu Rong carry the food box, blushed and walked quickly into the yamen.

When she entered the yamen, she couldn't help becoming a little nervous. After all, she had never been in the magistrate's yamen, even the county magistrate's yamen in her hometown.

After a while, Qiurong saw Li Xiuyuan in the lobby, wearing an official uniform, sitting upright, frowning at the documents and files, accompanied by civil officials and minor officials.

"It's really the attitude of a natural born adult." Qiu Rong's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she secretly praised her.

But when she saw the other civil servants in the lobby, she was too reserved and didn't know how to speak, so she stood in the lobby stupidly, hoping that Mr. Li would see her.

"My lord, there is a girl in the lobby. I don't know if she is the one who reported the crime." A clerk looked good, and immediately took this opportunity to present a stack of documents, and then said cautiously aside.

Only then did Li Xiuyuan put down the paperwork and looked up, but saw a beautiful woman standing in the lobby at some point.

"Miss Qiurong, why are you here?" He froze for a moment.

"I haven't seen Mr. Li return to the escort agency for many days, and the little girl came here to visit." Qiu Rong blushed slightly, and bowed gracefully.

The reason why she came today was because Xiao Xie had been urging her for the past few days and nights, apart from a little miss in her heart. After all, she was a female ghost and couldn't walk, so she had to come by herself to check on Mr. Li's situation.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Miss Qiurong has a heart. I am busy with business these days, so I stayed in the government office for a few nights and did not go back. Miss Qiurong really missed it."

He lived with Qiu Rong in the backyard and often met them. Although he didn't say much, since the ghost foreman incident, there was obviously a ray of affection in it. How could he not know the woman's beautiful eyes and emotional posture.

It's just that the intrigue and intrigue in the capital, and the matter of the children's affair are temporarily put aside.

Didn't think much about it.

"Miss Qiurong, why are you standing so far away? Come here, you brought a food box? Did you bring me food?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Well, I don't know what Mr. Li likes to eat, so I made some breakfast food." Qiu Rong replied softly, and then walked over with her head lowered in shame like a little daughter-in-law.

She didn't even dare to look at the civil servants and petty officials on the side.

"It's just right, I'm hungry, I haven't had breakfast yet, thank you, Miss Qiurong." Li Xiuyuan smiled, then opened the food box politely, took the food inside, and put it on the desk to eat and drink.

He seldom eats anymore, because the last time he went to Tianzhu Mountain, he got a lot of fairy fruits, and if he was hungry, he would eat one fairy fruit, which would keep people from starving for months.

But he would not shirk Miss Qiurong's wishes.

Seeing Mr. Li eating so deliciously, Qiu Rong was also happy in his heart, and felt that the preparations for these few days were worth it.

"Miss Qiurong, do you know how to read?" Li Xiuyuan couldn't help asking when he saw him frequently looking at the copywriting on the table.

"It's just that I know a little bit about pen and ink, and I can read and write." Qiu Rong said,

Li Xiuyuan said: "I didn't expect Miss Qiurong to be a talented woman, that's just right, I have a backlog of these papers, can I trouble Miss Qiurong to correct one or two for me later?"

Qiu Rong was a little surprised; "Yes, but Mr. Li, how can the little girl correct these things? Besides, the little girl can't."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It's precisely because you don't know how to bother Miss Qiurong. Those who can correct this stuff in the yamen can do it, and those who don't know it can't do it. And Miss Qiurong can't. I can teach you, it's easy. Yes, as long as you can read the characters, for example, if you agree with this document, circle it
Get up, put a cross if you disagree, don't you think I corrected it like this? "

After speaking, he gave her a look at what he had corrected.

Sure enough, there is either a circle or a fork on the top.

Qiu Rong blushed: "That's it, it's that simple?"

"Otherwise, how difficult is it?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile; "It's just that it takes a little effort to read the words, and there is not much to say. It is all gorgeous words and sentences, and it is not an imperial examination. It is very difficult to read."

As a magistrate, you don't need to be too tired. What you have to write is replaced by the clerks below, and the things you have to do are handled by the servants. You just need to nod or shake your head.

"Sit here and handle it for me. I'll walk, walk, and digest." Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.

Qiu Rong was too obedient to Li Xiuyuan's words, she didn't refuse what to do no matter what she ordered, she really sat in the magistrate's seat, picked up the ink pen and tried to start handling official business.

The civil officials and officials below were all stunned.

Well, Master Li really dares to do this, let such a young and immature woman take the place of the magistrate and handle official affairs.

However, there are old officials who look at the nose with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, as if they didn't see it.

How can you manage Mr. Li's private affairs at home?

A civil servant felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Li, Mr. Li, is there something wrong with letting a woman handle official duties for you?"

"It's not right." Li Xiuyuan said, "Why don't you come?"

"I dare not." The civil servant hurriedly said in fear.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "She is wrong, at least she is a hundred times better than a corrupt official. Recently, all the cases have been sent, and each case has a way to deal with it according to the law. As long as you agree or refuse, seven-year-old children Do you want me to sit here all the time?
What matters in handling a case is whether the correcting person has selfish intentions. If not, the sentence will naturally be the same for everyone. "

"Do you think she has selfish intentions?"

The civil servant was obedient and dared not answer.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Beasts and beasts eat money in the court, and rotten trees are officials. Even a woman is stronger than those lords. Recently, there have been a lot of memorials to impeach me. I know it. It seems that I will soon This magistrate can't do it any longer, if that's the case, who is doing so much hard work?"

Sighing, seeing Qiu Rong's tense face, carefully writing and correcting, he couldn't help smiling, and then walked out of the lobby, ready to be imprisoned for a while.

"Give me the big gun. I've been slack in martial arts recently, so I need to practice, so as not to rush and ruin things." Li Xiuyuan asked a soldier to borrow a big gun.

The appearance of Shi Hu made him vigilant, so he had to recover his martial arts, so as not to lose the wind when he fought with that guy again.

There is no need to play any moves, just hold the big gun in one hand and move forward, and then breathe and exhale to move the whole body's blood, muscles and bones.

This is called quiet practice.

But when he practiced for about a stick of incense, suddenly an escort from outside ran in and said: "Young master, there are two girls outside who say they are here to find you, young master."

"You're looking for me again? It's still a girl, which two girls are they?" Li Xiuyuan froze for a moment.

"It seems that one is Fu Qingfeng and the other is Fu Yuechi. I heard that they are the daughter of Mr. Fu, the Minister of War Fu Tianchou." The escort said.

"Qingfeng, Yuechi?"

Li Xiuyuan immediately said: "Let them come in, that girl Qingfeng is my fiancée, if there is another time in the future, there is no need to report."

"Yes, my lord."

The bodyguard was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the servant's daughter was the young master's fiancée, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice: "Young master, if that girl Qingfeng is the young master If it is the young master's fiancée, then the young master Qiu Rong will arrange it like this
I'm afraid it's not good to meet this. "

He is also a smart person, if Mrs. Fu's daughter is his fiancée, this Miss Qiurong can only be a concubine, a concubine.

"Cough, cough, cough," Li Xiuyuan then remembered that Miss Qiurong was working for him.

Immediately, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "You are right in reminding, there is indeed something wrong, I'd better go out and meet them."

But before Li Xiuyuan went out, he heard Fu Yuechi's carefree voice: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, my sister and I are here to look for you, don't be angry with us, it's my father who didn't let me and my sister come to look for you , it’s not that we don’t want to come.”
