Chapter 224

"If you want to summon people, do you still want to ask these yamen runners for their opinions? From childhood to adulthood, my mother taught me that you are the parents of this city in Lizhou and the most majestic existence in this city of Lizhou. But today, I am confused. In my opinion, it is clearly these yamen runners who are the officials in this city of Lizhou!" Lu Zi'an felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and a big man's eyes turned red.

Yun Xiaoxue watched from the side, shocked and could not speak anymore. Her aggrieved look actually made her heart beat for a moment without any success.

"Who is not rude at the exit outside the door?" An annoyed voice slowly came, and the crowd dispersed. A middle-aged man in his thirties and forties walked out of the road. He stopped with a big belly and neatly dressed official, walked out with a cold face.

The noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads and shouted respectfully: "Sir."

"Well," the county magistrate agreed perfunctorily, his eyes fell on Lu Zian, who was kneeling in the middle of the crowd, with a grievance, and his face was stiff for a moment. He frowned slightly and asked in a pretentious manner, "What's going on? What's the young master of the Lu family kneeling here for? "

How dare Lu Zian, a yamen runner who stopped Yun Xiaoxue, dared to let Lu Zian, a guy who was distorted in black and white, speak? He hurriedly said, "These two people heard that our people had seized Mo Xuelou's carriage, came over to cause trouble. We couldn't persuade them, saying that if they didn't return it to them, they would want us to look good. The villain was angry for a moment and asked someone to drive them out. Who knew that he knelt here and the villain complained first."

"Haha, if you say that the evil person complains first, you are the ancestor!" Lu Zi'an leaned on the ground and said hatefully, "Sir, Caomin has important things to do in Japan today. But when he passed by, he saw these two people robbing the second lady of Mo Xuelou. He said that he would not be allowed to travel with him if he didn't give the silver. He also said... and said..."

He glanced at the county magistrate who frowned tighter and tighter, and said, "I also said that this was what you personally stipulated and the rules of the yamen. I don't believe it, because Caomin's mother told Caomin that the county magistrate is the person who sympathizes us the most and the best to us. How could he rob and oppress the people so blatantly? He started arguing with them. But these people, because Caomin accidentally said their thoughts, became angry and beat Caomin! Fortunately, you appeared in time and saved Caomin's life!"

After Lu Zi'an finished speaking, he also stretched out his hand. Yun Xiaoxue then realized that after Lu Zi'an's fine skin and tender flesh had helped her block the stick, the tiger's mouth became bruised and swollen, which hurts when she looked.

The county magistrate originally wanted to send these people away, but after seeing the injuries on Lu Zi'an's hand, his face suddenly fell down. This guy looked easy to bully, but he was a background. He just scolded him in this situation on weekdays, but now his injuries have been made, and Mrs. Lu would not let them go at all.

What happened to the people in the yamen? Just Mrs. Lu's rascal appearance, it was useless when the prefect came. Looking at Yun Xiaoxue again, this guy's background is even more terrifying.

He was not afraid of this stinky girl from Yunjiagou, but he was afraid of this girl's sister.

I don’t know where Yun Xiaoshuang came out. She wanted money, power, power, strength, and had some connection with the nobles. Not only that, her husband’s sister, the lady of the Zhao family, didn’t know why she got along with Murong Ye, the owner of Zuixianlou.

Several forces mixed together and directly monopolized Lizhou City. If they offended a few of them, they would not be worried about posing any threat to their official positions, but their future life would not be so easy.

Especially Guangyaolou, in order to be able to have a smooth flow, it will give the yamen a lot of money every year.

Of course, at least 80% of these money will not really be built by the government. If you don’t give the Lu family an explanation for today’s matter, it means that a large amount of funds will be cut off from your own pocket.

Not only that, Mo Xuelou and Zuixianlou will also be cut off, and even the small shops affiliated with them will stop making contributions to the yamen. This does not mean that you will be too poor to afford to eat, but it will be a huge loss for the county magistrate who is used to being extravagant.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Who should I believe? The county magistrate is thinking clearly in his heart.

At this time, he glared at the yamen runner who complained first, saying, "As an official, you actually quarreled with the people over bribery in full view of the public. You are so handsome!"

"No, sir, villain is wronged!" The yamen runner was so scared that his face was pale and he quickly knelt on the ground to argue.

The county magistrate waved his hand and shook his head in disappointment, saying, "Come on, drag these two guys down first and interrogate them later. Today's matters must be investigated truthfully and handled fairly!" He glanced at Yun Xiaoxue indifferently and said, "Come in with me first."

"yes."

Yun Xiaoxue, who was always standing next to her, suddenly heard the county magistrate calling him. She was so scared that she shivered, but she quickly raised her chest and walked in. She looked open and had a bit of Yun Xiaoshuang's meaning.

Before entering, she secretly looked at Lu Zian, unexpectedly found that he was also looking at him and encouraged himself with his eyes. When she saw that she noticed him, he also secretly gestured to cheer up.

Originally, the county magistrate received some money and said he wanted to ask the little girl to have some trouble. The county magistrate originally did not plan to do this, after all, Yun Xiaoshuang was behind Yun Xiaoxue. The quirky girl said something amazing, and what she did was even more frightening. She was not careful.

With her surrounding relationships, the county magistrate really didn't want to find trouble for himself. But later the man said that the forces that could help Mo Xuelou were too busy to take care of themselves and had no time to contact Mo Xuelou's people at all, so he was willing to give it a try.

But who knew that Lu Zian, who was supposed to be dealing with his own affairs in the western suburbs, unexpectedly appeared here, disrupting their embarrassment, humiliating Yun Xiaoxue, and suppressing Mo Xuelou. Now he has come in, but Lu Zian is guarding outside. For his long-term meal ticket, the county magistrate dared not make things too difficult for this girl.

Fortunately, this girl is a master. Before she could speak, she already understood what to do. She apologized and compensated, and even thought about the principle of leaving. Even the county magistrate wanted to make things difficult for her, so she naturally collected the money and asked someone to lead the donkey cart to send the things to Moxue Tower.

As soon as he left the door, Yun Xiaoxue saw Lu Zi'an standing in the most conspicuous place, looking around. After seeing her appear, she showed a bright smile. Yun Xiaoxue's face turned red, she lowered her head and walked towards him, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother An, thank you for your work today."

"You're finally going to call me." Lu Zian's handsome face was also shocking, which made Yun Xiaoxue's little heart, which had finally calmed down, began to jump up again.

Yun Xiaoxue turned her head aside and said stiffly: "Brother An misunderstood. Xiaoxue has never neglected Brother An. It's because she is too busy recently and it's difficult to get out."

"Hmph, it's weird if I believe you," Lu Zian curled his lips, feeling in his heart that he couldn't even say anything about himself, sour, "You are really becoming more and more like your sister."

Yun Xiaoxue's back froze and her face suddenly turned dark.

If she had said this in the past, she might have thought that others were praising her, but now that others say this, she would only feel uncomfortable all over. She always felt that the eyes that fell on her, or that Lu Zian finally began to notice her, were all because her behavior became more and more similar to her sister.

But what if she was herself? Will she become the poor person who no one likes? Yun Xiaoxue was very confused.

On the one hand, she likes herself who can stand alone, but on the other hand, she really wants to be her true self. She really hopes that someone can like Yun Xiaoxue, not Yun Xiaoxue, who is like Yun Xiaoshuang.

"Hey, go slower! The donkey can't keep up with you!" Lu Zian followed two steps when she noticed her pace was speeding up, but when she found that her pace was getting faster and faster, she finally couldn't help but stop her.

Yun Xiaoxue's steps stopped suddenly, looked at him with a strange expression, suddenly laughed, and said, "It's true."

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Zian looked at him in confusion, slowly walked to her and settled his footsteps. Looking at Yun Xiaoxue who was holding her hands and looking at him with a joke on her face, she suddenly understood. She stretched out her hand and gently flicked her forehead, and said helplessly: "You little villain, you learn bad things from your sister and you will also tease people."

Yun Xiaoxue's heart hopped suddenly, and the familiar warmth surged from the depths of her memory. The once warm scenes hit her soul. Yun Xiaoxue turned around in a hurry, let out a sneer, and left in Lu Zi'an's confused eyes.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Zi'an brought some medicinal cakes. These things were heard from her when his relationship with Yun Xiaoshuang had not deteriorated. They said that what medicinal herbs can be eaten and which medicinal herbs can be used as snacks. Today, he suddenly remembered this matter and used the best yam to make some pastries.

The yam is greasy and not delicious, but after treatment, it actually has a sweet smell. After taking a bite, I couldn't help but take a second bite. He called Yun Xiaoxue, shook the food box in front of her, and said proudly: "Do you want to come and taste it? This is the medicine cake I cooked in person. It is sweet and delicious. After passing this village, I don't have this store, so I have to seize the opportunity."

Yun Xiaoxue's expression was faint, but her eyes flashed through the food box many times.

She thought she had forgotten it for a long time, but when this person she thought was about to forget suddenly appeared in front of her, the rich longing and love surged like a unsealed seal, and all the cold seals became vulnerable.
