The strongest Marquis in history

Zhong Chao said: "I would like to follow the orders of the young master."

Cao Zhao and Chen Xiping also responded together.

The three of them are very happy now.After all, this time, even though they gave food, they were actually not at a loss.

Cao Zhao and Zhong Chao didn't stay any longer, and left to prepare.

Chen Xiping was also busy with his own affairs.

Wang Qi asked Zhao Yuyan and Zhuge Feng to stay in the firm, and Wang Qi took Su Lie to the state pastoral mansion.Xiapi is the seat of Xuzhou, and the State Shepherd's Mansion is also in the city.

Wang Qi rode to the outside of the state pastoral mansion, and brought Su Lie forward.As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, the porter stretched out his hand to stop him and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here at the State Shepherd's Mansion?"

Wang Qi said: "Please report to Master Chen, Nanyang County Magistrate Wang Qi, to come and see him."

"please wait."

As soon as the concierge heard Wang Qi's name, he didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and went to report quickly.

As the concierge of the State Shepherd's Mansion, the news is extremely well-informed.Wang Qi's identity, as well as the relationship between Wang Qi and the East Palace, was clear to the concierge, so he didn't dare to delay.

Not long after, the concierge came out and said respectfully: "Magistrate Wang, please follow me."

Wang Qi thanked him and led Su Lie in.

The State Shepherd's Mansion is quite luxurious and spectacular.

Wang Qi looked at the decorations in the State Shepherd's Mansion and felt a little disappointed with Chen Yan.The decoration of the entire State Shepherd's Mansion is really luxurious.With such a decoration, you can see the leopard in the tube, which shows Chen Yan's temperament.

Wang Qi went around the front hall, walked through the corridor, and went around seven or eight places, and finally came to the backyard and outside the study.

The concierge said: "Magistrate Wang, please!"

Wang Qi nodded and went straight in.

After Wang Qi entered the study, he immediately saw Chen Yan sitting on the master seat.He raised his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised.Because Chen Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, was quite thin, and his clothes were simple, without any sense of luxury.

Such statements are in great contrast to the situation of the mansion.

Chen Yan's age, over sixty, is very old.The bags under his eyes are extremely huge, even bigger than his eyes.So much so that it looked like Chen Yan was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed.

Wang Qi did not despise Chen Yan at all.It is not easy for someone to become a shepherd of a state.

At least an old fox who messes with officialdom.

Wang Qi entered and stood still, bowed and said: "My officer Wang Qi, I pay my respects to Mr. Chen."

Chen Yan stroked the beard under his chin, beckoned and said, "Come here, sit down and talk."

"Thank you sir!"

Wang Qi thanked him and stepped forward to take a seat.

Chapter 268 Tiger General

Chen Yan's wrinkled old face was filled with a gentle smile, and he said slowly: "I have heard about your matter. Even if you go to Nanyang County, I have already been notified by the East Palace."

After a pause, Chen Yan said again: "The crown prince sent an order to let the old man take care of you as much as possible. It's just that the old man is in Xuzhou now, and he is barely able to support him. He is unable to suppress the bandits. It is very difficult to support you!"

Wang Qidao: "It's not easy to manage such a big stall in Xuzhou. Chen Zhoumu's difficulties can be understood by the lower senses."

Chen Yandao: "It's good if you can understand."

After a pause, Chen Yan said again: "You are the county magistrate in Nanyang County, work hard, and do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about this old man. Even if something happens, this old man will take care of you."

Wang Qi said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Chen Yan said again: "Wang Qi, you are a capable person. The current turmoil in Qingzhou has even spread to Nanyang County in the north of Langya Country. Langya Country itself is also in many troubles. You have not been caught. So you are in Nanyang, do your best, and make sure to block the bandits from Qingzhou."

Wang Qidao: "The humble job understands."

At this time, Wang Qi had already understood.Chen Yanju said it was to support him and help him, but in fact, it was just verbal support, in order to cope with the arrangement of the East Palace.

For the rest, it depends on Wang Qi himself.

This is reality.

Of course, Wang Qi didn't expect Chen Yan to be of any help.As long as Chen Yan doesn't make trouble behind his back, that's fine.Wang Qi talked to Chen Yan again, and when he saw Chen Yan serving tea and water, he took the initiative to leave.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Wang Qi looked back at the splendid and luxurious State Shepherd, and sneered in his heart.

In a few years, he will also run a state.

Chen Yan is nothing here.

Wang Qi rode his horse away from the State Shepherd's Mansion, but when he was riding the horse on the street, he saw a middle-aged man who was tall and strong like a hill, sitting cross-legged and kneeling beside the street.

Beside the middle-aged man, there is also a seven or eight-year-old girl kneeling.

The little girl was very well-behaved, with big black eyes that rolled slightly, her appearance was pretty, and she was very well-behaved.

In front of the middle-aged man, some words were written with a pen on the ground.The font is beautiful and immature, and it looks like it was written by a child.

Wang Qi got off his horse, walked up and looked down at the content.

The middle-aged man's name is Xia Houhu, and his daughter Xia Houying, because her daughter suffers from asthma, which cannot be cured, she has been taking a lot of medicine to maintain treatment.Xia Houhu had no money to treat his daughter's illness, so he willingly sold himself as a slave in exchange for her daughter's treatment fee.

However, it was only Xia Houhu who sold himself.

His daughter Xia Houying sold herself as a slave together.

When Wang Qi saw Xia Houhu, he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.

Xia Houhu is a man of extremely strong stature, at least 190 centimeters tall.Even if he was kneeling on the ground, it was like a hill, which was not easy.

This is a tiger general.

After Wang Qi saw it, he had a judgment in his heart.

"Hey, little girl, she is pretty and cute. Xia Houhu, you and your daughter were sold as slaves together, and I bought you all. I will pay for your daughter's medicine."

At this time, an obese middle-aged man stood up with a big belly.

"Do not sell!"

Xiahou Huwen answered in a tone of voice.

He glanced at the middle-aged man, especially when he saw the middle-aged man's greasy face and treacherous eyes, and directly refused.

The middle-aged man snorted, and said disdainfully: "If you don't sell, your daughter will have to wait to die. She is sick at such a young age, and she is still suffering from asthma. It is impossible for her to marry. Selling herself as a slave is a good idea." home."

Xia Houhu's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if she can't marry in the future, that's okay, I will support her for the rest of her life. Get out of here, and I'll beat you if you talk nonsense."

There was a coldness in his eyes.

The cold murderous aura spread from Xia Houhu's body, and the middle-aged man shuddered coldly as Xia Houhu stared at him.

"You wait to die!"

The middle-aged man cursed and left bored.

Wang Qi was still looking at Xia Houhu. Judging from Xia Houhu's appearance just now, this is a person whose hands were once stained with blood.

Otherwise, it is impossible to have this murderous aura.

Wang Qi watched the people around him step forward to point and point, but they never stepped forward. He took advantage of this opportunity to scrutinize Xia Houhu carefully.

Xia Houhu's attention was always on Xia Houying.When he faced Xia Houying, there was a wise smile on his rough and indifferent face.

Wang Qi observed for a long time, although there were people pointing around, no one stepped forward from the beginning to the end.

At this time, Wang Qicai stepped forward and came to Xiahouhu. He squatted down and looked at Xiahouhu, and asked, "Xiahouhu, do you know martial arts?"

"meeting!"

Xia Houhu nodded and answered.

Wang Qidao: "I need a guard by my side. Follow me and I will treat your daughter. Besides, you don't need to sell yourself as a slave, you just need to protect my safety."

Xia Houhu asked: "Really?"

Wang Qi said: "Naturally it is true."

Xia Houhu didn't respond immediately, and said in a deep voice: "The last person who said that to you treated Ying'er for half a month, and then he became malicious and was killed by me. Have you considered it?"

Wang Qi said directly: "Let's go!"

After Xia Houhu heard it, he looked at Wang Qi for a while, and under his sharp eyes, Wang Qi was completely unaffected.

"I, Xia Houhu, make an oath here. As long as you sincerely treat my daughter for me, I will never let you down. If someone is against you, first step on my body."

"I am not dead, you are not dead."

"If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning."

Xia Houhu knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times hard on the ground.Then, he looked at Xia Houying again and said, "Yinger, kowtow to your benefactor."

Xia Houying nodded and kowtowed obediently to thank her.

Wang Qi said: "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Xia Houhu stood up, with a bright smile on his rough face.

His daughter was saved.

"What are you going to do? Kill someone, do you still want to go?"

At this moment, an arrogant and domineering voice suddenly came from the street.Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and guards with sticks rushed up one by one.

This group of people surrounded Wang Qi, Xia Houhu, and Xia Houying.

An old man in his early fifties with gray hair and dressed in black came.

The old man's face was full of killing intent.

His eyes fell on Xiahouhu, and he said coldly: "Xiahouhu, my son kindly took you in and took care of his daughter instead of you, and asked a doctor to treat her."

"Unexpectedly, you killed my son and escaped with someone."

"You really have no brains. After killing someone, you still dare to appear in Xiapi City openly and aboveboard. You really think I am Pang Shi. It's because of my old eyes that I can't find you?"

When Pang Shi spoke, his voice was sharp.

A murderous attitude.

Xia Houhu raised his head and responded directly: "Your son Pang Donglai is hypocritical and says he wants to treat my daughter, but in fact, he wants to occupy my daughter and intends to mistreat my daughter. She is only eight years old. There is something wrong. Pang Dong came to this beast, and he deserves to die. I walk upright and sit upright, so why can't I appear in Xiapi City."

At this moment, Xia Houhu was extremely strong.

Even more murderous intent filled the air.

Xia Houhu turned to look at Wang Qi again, and said solemnly: "My lord, take Ying Er and leave. You go out of the city first, and I will go out of the city to meet you later."

Wang Qi shook his head, stretched out his hand to hold Xia Houhu's fist, and said, "I am your son, you have encountered something, you don't need to come forward, I will solve it."

Chapter 269 Finding the Backstage

Xia Houhu was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Qi's words, and then he said, "Master, this is a murder case, which is unusual. You take the child away first, leave it to me, I can solve it."

"You, continue to kill?"

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "You killed Pang Donglai earlier, it was justified, and the government can't take you. But now, if you kill again, it won't be justified. Leave this matter to me, and I will handle it."

"it is good!"

Xia Houhu took a step back when he heard the words.

He chose to believe in Wang Qi.

Xia Houhu himself has never read a book, so he can only write his own name.Even the words he wrote on the ground before were all written by his daughter stroke by stroke, but his daughter is stronger than his father.

Xia Houhu himself knows some martial arts, he is illiterate and has no background.If he really wanted to confront Pang Donglai's father, he would use violence to control violence, and there was no other choice.

Wang Qi's eyes fell on Pang Donglai's father, and he said in a deep voice: "Pang Shi, I have saved Xiahouhu. Your son Pang Donglai is not as good as a beast. He did evil by himself, and he deserves death."

"You take people back now, and this is the end of the matter."

"If you insist on making a move, today, I, Wang Qi, will act recklessly here. Anyway, you have a son like Pang Donglai, and you, Pang Shi, are not a good thing."
