Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 230 Qin Fangxiu

The night of heavy rain washed away the dust in Sifang City, and gave everyone a clear sky. The bright, golden sun shone down, and it was another beautiful day.

Early in the morning, after having breakfast with Luo Qiushui, Luo Qingyun found him after a while and invited Zhao Ji to receive the imperial envoys.

Zhao Ji didn't want to go at first, but couldn't stand Luo Qingyun's pleading, and he was somewhat curious about the people who came from the court, so he agreed.

When the heavy rain poured down last night, the envoys entered the Sifang City in the rain. Zhao Ji didn't see how the entire group was in a mess, but he could imagine it.

The residence of the envoys was not arranged in the Luo Mansion, Sifang City had its own place for entertaining guests, but it was the remnant of the original Gu family.

In the past, Sifang City had some exchanges with the outside world. In order to receive foreign guests, the Gu family put in a lot of effort and built a mansion with a first-class living environment. People from the diplomatic mission lived here.

Today, when I saw the envoys, even though they were all dressed up, Zhao Ji's sharp eyes could still tell that everyone was wounded.

"Special Envoy Qin, you're really neglectful. The servant's hospitality is not bad, but there is something negligent."

Luo Qingyun was very polite to a majestic middle-aged man when he came to see the envoys.

Qin Fangxiu, who was an official in the state of Wu to worship the censor of the city, was neither high nor low, and had little real power. This time, he was sent to Shengui Island to pass on the imperial edict.

This is not a very good job. Qin Fangxiu was a little unhappy in his heart. He didn't want to, the matter was not going well, and he was intercepted halfway.

Thinking back to that night of heavy rain, Qin Fangxiu's heart trembled. Under the thunder and lightning, the bright knife light and the scarlet blood soared made him dream back last night, with nightmares again and again.

Qin Fangxiu is a civil servant. Although he knows two tricks and is considered a third-rate warrior, he is not suitable for fighting at all. During the big battle last night, he hid early and was scared out of his wits.

However, he was not just a cowardly person. After a night, he almost recovered. Although he was still a little shocked, he didn't see much abnormality.

"Vice City Lord Luo is polite, I rested well, and the servants did not neglect me."

Qin Fangxiu didn't act domineering, but looked a little lost, obviously he hadn't fully recovered from yesterday's fright.

"That's good. When you arrive in Sifang City, Special Envoy Qin must not be too outsider. You can go out for a stroll when you have nothing to do. If you want to buy anything, you can credit it to the account of Luo Mansion."

Luo Qingyun smiled.

Luo Qingyun's mission is to entertain the envoys well, with good food and drink, and an extra budget to buy them souvenirs and the like.

"Okay, then I would like to thank Deputy City Lord Luo."

Qin Fangxiu smiled knowingly and became interested.

The position of city patrol censor is not too popular, and there are not many people who fawn on him on weekdays, so there must be no lucrative water. Although it is a long way and a bumpy road to work on Shengui Island, at least you can get some benefits, right?

"However, let's get down to business first. I don't know when Lord Luo will be free. I will read the imperial decree first."

"Then, tomorrow morning, what does Special Envoy Qin think?"

Luo Qingyun suggested.

"it is good."

Qin Fangxiu readily agreed.

"Special Envoy Qin, come on, let's go out for a walk, and I'll introduce you to the general situation of Sifang City."

Luo Qingyun said politely.

"That's fine. However, should we be given an explanation for what happened yesterday? On the grounds of Sifang City, we were actually assassinated. It's too outrageous."

Qin Fangxiu became angry all of a sudden, and said passionately: "Even the imperial court doesn't pay attention to it, it's too much, too unscrupulous, I can't help but want to ask, is Shengui Island still the imperial court's territory. "

Before the future, Qin Fangxiu had heard that God Turtle Island was a relatively chaotic place, and the power of the imperial court could not control it at all. All the while, his heart was beating.

However, Qin Fangxiu never imagined that some forces here were so rampant that even the envoys dared to take action. If it wasn't luck, this time they would really fall.

The hatred and anger in Qin Fangxiu's heart cannot be expressed in words, but he suppressed it forcibly. He knows that the more he wants to take revenge, the more he cannot lose his sense of proportion.

For the Luo family, Qin Fangxiu didn't trust him either, and he had doubts in his heart, so he came up with a way, throwing out the emperor's imperial decree first, and then talking about being assassinated.

A hereditary earl is considered a high-level person in Wu State. Those who can get the earl's position are mostly some heroes who founded the country, and those who can become earls later, which one is not in exchange for amazing meritorious deeds.

It was really easy for the Luo family to come to the position of Sifang Bo. If Wang Chengzu hadn't brought up the matter of the battle for the title of Marquis of Zhuhai, the Emperor of Wu might not have remembered that there was such a place as Shengui Island.

Qin Fangxiu's guess was right, the position of Uncle Sifang was indeed very tempting to Luo Chongshan, and he would not be willing to give up the fat in his mouth.

Fortunately, last night, everyone has already assigned tasks. If the envoys have any dissatisfaction and requests, how should they respond.

"Special envoy Qin, don't worry, our Luo family will definitely investigate this matter to the end. Those people dared to intercept and kill the imperial envoys. They clearly didn't take the Luo family seriously. Even if special envoy Qin didn't say anything, we couldn't let it go." pass them."

With a solemn expression, Luo Qingyun solemnly assured her.

"Well, let me trust you for the time being. I will give you three days to find out the force behind it. As for the issuance of the imperial decree, let's talk about it at that time."

Qin Fangxiu nodded and said loudly.

Qin Fangxiu's method was really extraordinary. He first used Feng Bo's imperial decree to whet Luo Qingyun's appetite, making him promise to find out who was behind the attack, and then used the imperial decree as a weight to start bargaining.

"Special envoy Qin, I'm afraid it's not good for you to do this. Since I have promised you, I want to find out who did it for you. Regarding the imperial decree, should you hurry up?"

Luo Qingyun frowned.

Qin Fangxiu shook his head, and said firmly: "It's not that I want to embarrass Deputy City Lord Luo, but the nature of this matter is too bad, even the imperial envoys dare to assassinate, it is too much, if this matter cannot be investigated When the truth comes to light, I am very worried."

"Special envoy Qin, don't worry, our Luo family always does what we say when we do things. Since we promised to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, we will definitely find out the truth. So, don't worry, special envoy. However, regarding the imperial decree, please ask Qin The special envoy holds your hand high, let's do it tomorrow."

Luo Qingyun persuaded.

"No, if you don't find out the mastermind behind the scenes, you let the court's face be there, and the court's face is gone, can this imperial decree still be issued?"

Qin Fangxiu said firmly.
