The setting sun melts gold, the evening clouds merge, Xixian County.

County magistrate Zhang led a group of yamen servants to greet the belated army outside the gate of the post station respectfully.

"My minister has been waiting for General Nangong for a long time." County magistrate Zhang bowed and greeted Nangong Sheng who had just got off the carriage, "General is tired from the boat and carriage, can you move to Huayue Tower to catch the wind and wash away the dust?"

Nangong Cheng pursed his lips, glanced at Xiao Yi, and nodded to County Magistrate Zhang.

"It's Mrs. Lao Zhang." Xiao Yi on the side smiled and eased the embarrassment.

Along the way, there is a lot of traffic, the revolving lanterns and candles are flickering, and the melodious sounds tickle people's itch.In the resplendent and magnificent Huayue Tower, singing and dancing are in harmony with each other.

County magistrate Zhang respectfully filled a glass for Nangong Cheng, and Fu'er raised his own wine glass and said with sincerity, "The general is here, the place is full of splendor, my servant respects the general!"

"Tell me what's going on first." Nangong Cheng frowned slightly, but didn't accept the toast, and the atmosphere was instantly cold.

County magistrate Zhang was speechless for a moment, frowning with a solemn expression.

Xiao Yi turned his head, seeing that something was wrong, he quickly echoed: "Master Zhang, we are here to provide disaster relief, but we haven't seen any famine epidemic, but the county town is full of soft red and fragrant soil, which is very prosperous."

"Oh, it's hard to describe!" County Magistrate Zhang looked distressed, "The drought is indeed serious, but most farmers have food reserves, so there will be no famine. In order to help other farmers in need, the minister wrote a letter requesting to open a warehouse to help the people. And Lu The governor hinted at the minister's selfishness." The county magistrate Zhang changed his sorrow again, and his eyes were firm, "But the minister is absolutely loyal and will never join forces. For this, he offended Governor Lu." His tone changed, "Coincidentally, all the people in his mansion went up and down. All of them suddenly fell ill. Governor Lu suspected me, so he wrote a letter boasting about the epidemic situation in order to relegate his ministers. General Nangong wants to be the master of his ministers!" After finishing speaking, he knelt down affectionately.

Nangong Cheng picked up the glass of wine, raised his head and drank it down, and said coldly, "Get up first."

Xiao Yi jumped up from the stool, strode to Magistrate Zhang's side, and bent over to help him up: "I've also heard about Lu Xunkan quite a bit, if you want to bring him down, you alone are not enough , then tell us everything you know, General Nangong is here to help you!"

Xiao Yi's sincere face stunned County Magistrate Zhang for a moment, his brows twitched slightly, then he got up suddenly, sat back at the banquet, and began to force Lu Xun to do dirty tricks, chatting so much that he lost himself.

Nangong Sheng wanted to leave the banquet. Originally, he didn't bother to participate in this kind of occasion. With his power and status, it was not worth dealing with such a lowly county magistrate. Besides, these little moths couldn't cause any trouble.

However, Xiao Yi stared intently at Magistrate Zhang, listened very carefully, and nodded in response from time to time.Being so focused, Nangong Cheng had an inexplicable palpitation, picked up the wine glass as if at a loss, and drank it on his own, staring at the dishes, and suddenly glanced at Xiao Yi from the corner of his eye, but didn't dare to take a second look at his side face, As if hiding something.

Until County Magistrate Zhang found out about his gaffe, Nangong Sheng was already slightly drunk, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes wandered.

Xiao Yi raised his right arm, lightly patted Nangong Cheng on the shoulder, nodded to County Magistrate Zhang and said, "This matter is on us, so let's withdraw." After finishing speaking, they all got up Prepare to leave.

However, Nangong Sheng still sat without moving.After Xiao Yi stood up, he withdrew his hand on Nangong Cheng's shoulder.At the same time, Nangong Sheng grabbed Xiao Yi's fingertips with his left hand.Xiao Yi stopped, as if time had frozen.Xiao Yi stared blankly at the hands in front of him, feeling the coldness of his fingertips being covered by the warmth of a pair of big hands, passing into the blood, rushing towards the heart.

"Cough! Cough—" County Magistrate Zhang coughed twice, bowed respectfully and saluted, "I will take my leave first!"

This person left knowingly, but the atmosphere is still unclear.

"General?" Xiao Yi asked tentatively.

no response.

"General?" Xiao Yi asked again, moving his tightly clenched fingers.

"Let's go." Nangong Cheng let go of Xiao Yi's hand, got up and left.Xiao Yi was left in a daze, dazed, and then quickly followed.

In the next few days, relying on Zhang County Magistrate's rhetoric and the evidence provided, Nangong Sheng maimed Lu Xun as a tiger, and scraped out a lot of occupied people's fat and people's ointment.Xiao Yi still runs here and there, and the distribution of food is done by himself, and it is in place.He also found Lin Ruo, a medical girl with wonderful hands and rejuvenation, who cured many patients, and was even a servant of Lu Xun's house.Li Shui and Li Yuan are very fond of this new medical girl and get along very well, as if they were old acquaintances.The most noisy one is Li Yuan, who is alive and kicking every day, and boldly teases Sun Na.The powerful guard sent by Nangong Cheng also had nothing to do with her, and would look at her from time to time, fearing that she would cause some trouble.

Xiao Yi hurried over, and Nangong Cheng was resting on the couch in the morning.Xiao Yi was annoyed, and called him softly: "General."

Nangong Cheng opened his eyes, and in front of him was Xiao Yi's exhausted and haggard appearance. He was angry that he hadn't been woken up, and his eyes were full of distress. "Sit down and talk", he raised his finger to the other side of the couch.

"The medical girl I just took in told me that her sister was kidnapped by the County Magistrate Zhang to be a concubine for a long time. It's unreasonable! This person is not worthy of being a parent officer!"

"Actually, he and Lu Xun were on the same road, and it was probably due to the uneven distribution of spoils. You can do him if you want." After that, Nangong Sheng quickly sent Zhao Hong and Qian Shen to follow Xiao Yi to investigate.Xiao Yi was still furious when he left.

Lin Zhi, the concubine of County Magistrate Zhang, provided a lot of ironclad evidence, even offering and accepting bribes.So Xi County changed in just a few days, sighing that the human affairs are immeasurable.
