I hope to return to the country

From last night until now, Le Zhiyu was basically in a state of confusion and coma, so much so that he didn't know anything about what happened outside.

The commotion in Yan Zhu Lou could be said to have caused a sensation in the entire Yan City.

The imperial envoys from the imperial court brought many armors, and the majestic feather guards descended from the sky, surrounded the whole building airtightly, suddenly stormed the entrance, and fought with the rebels and rebels hiding here. Killing them by surprise, there are hundreds of people who were killed or injured.

It is said that even a big leader of the Qingdan Society, the altar master of Luanfei Altar, was seriously injured. Although he escaped in the chaos, he was chased and captured alive in the end because he was outnumbered.

As for the other people in Zhulou, whether they were guests or advocates, even if they were just servants sweeping the floor, or passers-by who wandered outside, all of them were counted as one, and they were all locked up with their hands tied.

Unfortunately, Su Er who was wandering nearby was also caught.

He had just seen Le Zhiyu shut the door after he entered, and he didn't see him out for a while, and he was a little worried. He just got closer and wanted to inquire about the news, but he was caught off guard by someone covering his mouth from behind, tied his hands, and tied his head. There was also a black cloth on the top, and he became one of the suspects in a daze, and was taken for interrogation.

Originally, he wanted to pretend to be a fool, but he didn't realize that the people who wanted to interrogate would not accept this at all. Not only did they know who he came with, Yan Zhulou, when he came, and how long the other person had been in. , obviously had been lurking in the surrounding area for a long time, and nothing could be hidden from their eyes.

Su Er had never seen such a serious and meticulous interrogation posture, and he was naturally shocked and afraid, and even more afraid that if the matter of Le Zhiyu's visit to the Luanfei altar master was found out, then their master and servant would be beaten Cheng Qingdan will mess up the party, and his life will be lost.

He didn't expect that "Ning Yuancheng" with high martial arts skills would come to save Le Zhiyu.

After all, this General of Lingxi, who holds a heavy army, is a much greater threat to the imperial court than the head of the Qingdan Society.

The imperial envoy probably wished he could immediately find Ning Yuancheng and send him to the capital to control him. How could Ning Yuancheng throw himself into the trap for Le Zhiyu when he could not protect himself?

Fortunately, Su Er has always had a bright head, and in a hurry, he said that there was a thief from the Qingdan Society. The county yaqian saw his young master's appearance was outstanding and good-looking, so he tried to trick him into talking about Zhulou for that lustful man. The master of Luanfei altar played tricks.

But his son has long heard of the various evil deeds of the Qingdan Society, and he is very shameless, so he wanted to do justice for the heavens and eliminate harm for the people, and pretended to be obedient to speak to Zhulou, just to attract Luanfei altar master to show up , and then sent a signal to Su Er who stayed outside the building to notify the government to catch the thief.

Who would have imagined that the imperial envoys would also choose to do it today, wouldn't the water rush into the Dragon King Temple, and they would hit it by mistake?

"My young master is really a good man, you can't wrong him!" Su Er cried out, beating his chest and stamping his feet, almost believing himself.

It's a pity that the interrogator heard his tearful nonsense, and didn't let him go lightly, but made him, like everyone else, write down everything he had said as a confession and take it away with his fingerprints. It should be submitted to the imperial envoy for personal inspection.

Su Er stayed up all night in fear and fear, and was very politely invited out of the place of detention the next day.

The interrogator who was stern and indifferent yesterday showed an amiable face towards Su Er today. He not only expressed his apology, but also said that the imperial envoy would reward Le Zhiyu with a mansion in Yancheng as a reward. act of benevolence.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Le Zhiyu was standing in front of the gate of this wide and deep house with an excellent location at this time, and sighed the same as Su Er.

"Did you really give it to me for nothing?"

"Ah."

Qin Zhi also nodded, and handed the land deed and house deed to Le Zhiyu.

"Even the owner's name has been changed to yours, so it's true."

Although Le Zhiyu was kept in captivity in Wuyou Valley since he was a child, he is not completely ignorant of the market prices outside. He still knows how much such a big house is worth. As long as he resells it, it will be a windfall .

I just said that the luggage was burned and there was no money to spend, but I fell asleep and met the pillow, which was a waste of money.

Coincidentally, he didn't want Qin Zhiyi to take the risk of robbing any county government treasury.

Although the title of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" sounds very righteous and righteous, it still can't escape the word "thief". Le Zhiyu doesn't care what others think of him, but he can't hear anyone saying that Qin Zhiyi is not good.

His elder brother Qin is the most glorious, upright and good person in this troubled world.

"elder brother!"

As soon as they entered the main courtyard, the group of children saw him and Qin Zhiyi, and immediately ran over happily to greet them, yelling like "brother and brother", mixed with "ladies" who didn't know who called them, and Loud and crisp, Le Zhiyu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, even the roots of his ears were a little red.

Compared with when they first met two days ago, these children have not only changed into clean and suitable clothes, but also obviously bathed and combed their hair. Other people's children don't look any different.

Le Zhiyu was very pleased, and gave a thumbs up to Su Yi who was following behind.

"Su Yi, I can't tell that you are so careless and thoughtful when taking care of children."

"Young master, it's not me..."

Su Yi scratched his head embarrassingly, and said: "The clerk of the county government sent someone to take care of it. He said it was the intention of the imperial envoy. From now on, these children will be taken care of by the government. Studying in school."

"Imperial envoy?"

Le Zhiyu opened his eyes wide in surprise.

How could there be such a kind and generous official in the new dynasty?

The children surrounded him, chattering excitedly.

"Brother, there is roast whole lamb to eat today!"

"There's also fresh fish! I've seen it, and it weighs more than a dozen catties. Stewed tofu into soup, it must be delicious."

"Dim sum, and dim sum! There are so many kinds! I can't name them, but they are beautiful and fragrant, and the taste is also very good. Brother, you must try them later."

"Also, and..."

In fact, they don't need to say, Le Zhiyu has already seen the busy cooks in the yard, as well as the rich dishes and pastries that are continuously placed on the tables.

What caught his attention the most was a flat and long charcoal stove in the center of the courtyard. The fat sheep on it had been opened and peeled, roasted golden red and shiny, and the attractive fragrance wafted all over the courtyard. The gluttons in my stomach are about to jump out.

Fresh mutton is a rarity these days, even though Le Zhiyu had eaten delicacies from mountains and seas in Wuyou Valley before, he had only eaten dried and marinated mutton, it seemed that such a big live sheep was slaughtered and roasted to eat, he Haven't even seen it.

"This is also sent by Qin's messenger."

Su Yi followed Le Zhiyu's gaze and knew that he was interested in the sheep, so he poured out everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

"I heard from the cooks that this sheep was originally bred to prepare the finale of the three-day banquet for the county magistrate's birthday, but the county magistrate died after only one day of the banquet. Many of the good things in his back kitchen were used. No, the people in the county government originally wanted to use it to set up banquets for the imperial envoy, but the imperial envoy didn't even show his face, and sent a message directly to send all the things here."

It turned out to be the case.

Le Zhiyu squinted his eyes thoughtfully, then looked at the courtyard of the house with blue bricks and red tiles, and asked: "Isn't the original owner of this house also the county magistrate of Yancheng?"

"Young master, you are so smart, you can guess right."

Su Yi smiled and said: "This is the new courtyard built by the magistrate of Yancheng, and the furnishings inside are all brand new, the dead magistrate hasn't had time to live in yet, there is no bad luck, don't worry, my lord. "

"That's good."

Le Zhiyu was indeed much more relieved, if there was a new dead person living in the house, the market price would drop, and he was still counting on selling the house for a high price.

Speaking of selling it at a good price, Le Zhiyu had another bold idea in the blink of an eye.

"This imperial envoy seems quite generous. Then I might as well ask him to write a plaque with his own handwriting and hang it on the door. The price of this house can be doubled again?"

"That's right! An official who can be an envoy must be a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Those wealthy gentry and rich merchants put money on their faces in order to gain connections, so why don't they come and steal their heads? My son, this method is wonderful!" Su Yi immediately Follow along.

Even Qin Zhi nodded slightly in agreement.

"It's a good idea."

With the support, Le Zhiyu became more and more confident, and urged Su Yi to quickly fetch a pen and paper. He wanted to write a letter right now and send it to the county government to be handed over to the imperial envoy to express his gratitude. Ask for a plaque back.

"Young master, wait first..."

Probably because of being locked up all night and frightened, Su Er, who usually talks the most, just kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything. He seemed to wake up when he heard that Le Zhiyu was about to deliver a letter to the imperial envoy. Come to try to pull Le Zhiyu aside.

"This imperial envoy has a lot of background, we'd better not take the initiative to provoke, so as not to cause trouble."

Not a small background?

Le Zhiyu curled the corner of his mouth disapprovingly.

At most, he is a third-rank official or some kind of school lieutenant and governor. How much background can he have?No matter how big the background is, it can't compare with Ning Yuancheng.

"Hearing your tone, do you know what's going on? Tell me, why can't you provoke that imperial envoy?"

"This······"

Su Er looked at Qin Zhiyi in embarrassment, and lowered his voice.

"My lord, there are a lot of people talking, let's go over there and talk in private."

Qin Zhiyi's expression was calm, and he didn't interrupt to ask more questions, as if he didn't care about being excluded.

However, Le Zhiyu was afraid that Qin Zhi would be suspicious, so he immediately frowned and looked at Su Er.

"Brother Qin is not an outsider, so it's the same if you have something to say here."

Seeing his insistence, Su Er had no choice but to say in front of Qin Zhiyi: "When I was imprisoned for trial, I overheard a soldier calling the presiding interrogator General Zuo Lang, General Zuo Lang has a high status in the East Palace My military officer, except the emperor and the crown prince, is not sent by anyone, my lord, think about it, who else would be the court envoy who can make him obey?"
