Huamanlou proposed to go to the yamen, but Lu Xiaofeng was unexpected and expected.Some people are not very good at pretending to be stupid, so they simply open the skylight and speak honestly.
Cheng Wei was sorting out the case files, and immediately went out to greet him when he heard the report from his servants.
"Master Cheng is really loyal to the king and loves the people. He forgot to eat and sleep for the people." Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou entered the door, and they sat down directly, with half smiles on their faces, and wrote on Huamanlou's fan, "We are here to find you for a showdown." The' these few words.
Hearing his words, the magistrate of Cheng County habitually wanted to pretend to be stupid, but also felt that his acting skills might not be able to fool these two people, so the expression on his face was distorted and very freehand.
Although Huamanlou couldn't see it, the suddenly quiet air could smell a hint of embarrassment.
"Master Cheng, I heard that you have been in Zhige City for seven years. According to the court rules, you have served at the border for five years. I'm not a very confused person, and I'm curious about the waves in this city, so why don't you tell me and let's solve it together?"
With gentle persuasion, Cheng Wei's expression slowly returned to normal, and he began to frown in thought.
Lu Xiaofeng walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Pretending to be an idiot is too much. Those people don't embarrass you, not because you have cheated them, but because you don't need to embarrass you."
"How do you know that I'm not working with them?" Cheng Wei's defenses were greatly weakened by the two of them.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the building full of flowers.You explain, lazy.
Hua Manlou didn't mind, and said slowly: "Brother Ximen and Axi made such a big commotion when we first entered the city. As the parent officer here, Mr. Cheng must have received the news, but Mr. Cheng stood still, and even Matou Village If the incident happened, we would stay out of it. If your lord joins them, wouldn’t it be more convenient to invite us to live in the yamen when we first entered the city?” After all, there are many excuses.
Cheng Wei smiled bitterly: "It turns out that inaction is also a flaw."
Lu Xiaofeng stuffed a cup of tea for Huamanlou, nodded: "People who have something on their minds usually do everything with flaws."
After talking, Cheng Wei was convinced, returned to his seat and sat down: "What do you two want to know? Although I have been here for seven years, I am no different from a blind and deaf man. Master Hua guessed right, I The reason why he didn't choose to return to Beijing to take office was because he was unwilling to stay here for five or six years without knowing anything about the place under his jurisdiction. He was appreciated by the first emperor and became an official in this land of Beichuan. I thought about making some achievements, benefiting the people of one side, and returning to the capital with honor. Just go back in such a disheartened manner, and have no face to see my colleagues back then, and no face to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
In the words, there is sadness and helplessness.
Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose, well, he is generally not used to comforting people.
Huamanlou also remained silent.
Fortunately, Cheng Wei probably suffered for too long, and he also took it lightly, so he calmed down and continued to tell what he knew.
Zhige City is the barrier of Beichuan, further inside is the desert grassland, and further inside is the snow-capped mountains.So when he first arrived in Zhige City, Cheng Wei did have a lot of ambitions. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here. For officials with ambitions, it is undoubtedly a good place to display their ambitions.
But gradually, Cheng Wei realized something was wrong. First of all, the yamen, although no one was disrespectful to him as a new official, but there was an evil spirit, except for his own people, it seemed that everyone else seemed to be at odds with each other. , They showed up on time, left on time, and worked diligently, but Cheng Wei's intuition told him that these people didn't take him seriously.
Cheng Wei thought that it might be the reason for his Beijing officials to go far away, and also thought about breaking down one by one and building a good relationship with his colleagues, but before he could act, he found that the people in the city had even more problems.
After three months in Gecheng, not to mention the person who reported the crime, not even a bird ran to the Yamen.
In such a big town, no matter how harmonious the people are, there will still be conflicts. It is impossible for three months without such things as stealing and quarreling.
Could it be that this remote town is already a Datong world where the road does not pick up lost things?
Cheng Wei couldn't laugh or cry, Wei Fu investigated.
Sure enough, the common people were not without problems. There were conflicts between the parents and the west, verbal disputes, and even violent fights. However, the disputes stopped within a few days, and they lived in peace.Even once, a corpse appeared outside the city, and more than ten days later, some prisoners surrendered.
. . .
After several months of investigation, Cheng Wei had no clue, and almost made himself ill.
After a few years of being so puzzled, Cheng Wei also gradually understood that this city is not a city without an owner, without his jurisdiction, there are people in the dark who manage this town, and there are even several forces co-existing, Just don't know what they mean.And he couldn't even catch the opponent's feet.
At first, he doubted Qin Da. After all, his background and identity were very suitable, but after dealing with him several times, although he could see that this person was hiding something, he couldn't tell for sure.
Until Lu Xiaofeng and the others came here, he vaguely felt that something in the city would be involved, but they lived in the city lord's mansion on the first day, which made him give up temporarily the idea of asking for help.
Until now, two people came to the door.
After listening to his words, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou felt sympathy for the magistrate's eyes.
It's not easy to be emptied for so many years!
Cheng Wei didn't know more about the details, so Lu Xiaofeng thought he was pitiful, so he gave him the piece of cloth and asked him to take Anfeng and the others to defraud Qin Dada.
Cheng Wei thanked him again and again, even more excited in his sighs.
After coming out, Hua Manlou asked Lu Xiaofeng: "There are people at the City Lord's Mansion now, shall we go to Brother Ximen's?"
Lu Xiaofeng pouted, dissatisfied: "Why do you always think about Ximen Chuuxue, his brain and martial arts, shouldn't you be worried that the other party will come and go?"
Huamanlou closed the fan and said nothing.so fierce.
"Okay, okay, I know you are afraid that I will urge you to go to Yiliu Valley, but I won't force you if you don't want to go." Lu Xiaofeng was also angry, why this person doesn't care about his affairs at all.Solve the case non-stop, but never mention the eyes.
Huamanlou couldn't see his face, but she knew how upset he was at the moment.
Although he didn't say it, Wu Chang's words obviously caused huge waves in Lu Xiaofeng's heart.He wants to heal his eyes more than himself.
"Brother Lu." He called out, the two who were already very close, they still call each other by their first names and respectful titles.
Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head, a little irritable.
He was fine just now, why is he suddenly so depressed.
Hua Manlou stretched out her hand tentatively, touched his face with her thin fingers, and then slowly touched it.
Lu Xiaofeng froze, this was the first time Huamanlou took the initiative to get close to him since the two of them confirmed their intentions.
"I've touched your face and imagined your appearance." Hua Manlou was talking about the past. "There are also the colors of sunlight, snowflakes, etc. that you described to me. I am used to this way to understand the world." So I am a little scared, I don't know if what I can see with my eyes is a kind of beyond my own imagined changes.So even if he came here with him, he still didn't know whether to open the door or not.
It was the first time Lu Xiaofeng heard him express his inner fear.It was also the first time I knew that Huamanlou would be afraid.
He grabbed his hand, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him tightly: "I'm sorry." The cases have been going on for a long time, and they rarely even talk to each other. Speaking of it, I must have been very nervous.
But he was only in a hurry and didn't realize it.
Hua Manlou smiled: "You are good for me, I know it. I also hope to see that flowers have different colors, see if the sunlight is golden, and see if you look like I imagined."
Lu Xiaofeng let go of him: "What do you imagine me to be like?"
Hua Manlou said calmly: "Fashionable, handsome and charming."
Big truth.Otherwise, it won't attract countless women to bow their heads, heh heh.
The thick-skinned Lu Daxia blushed for the first time in his life.
"Let's go." Hua Manlou pulled him away.
"Go, where?"
"Yi Liugu." Hua Manlou really let go of his thoughts, "You said, don't worry about Brother Ximen, we are fine anyway, so we should go find those two people, they must know more about the situation in this city than anyone else. tortuous."
Now Lu Xiaofeng only felt that the affection in his heart was full, and it was about to overflow. After getting along with each other for a long time, he seemed to understand more and more what infatuation is.Such a rich Huamanlou attracted him more than any complicated case.
The two people whose relationship had suddenly grown to a higher level were stopped before they could leave the city.
Wu Chang and Chong Xi.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but Wu Changduan's face is paler and more delicate, giving people a sense of sculpted stillness. If it weren't for the light and playful smile on his face, it would probably be even more lifeless.Chongxi was also standing by his side like a guardian as before.
"Two little turtles." Wu Chang glanced at their holding hands, curled his lips.
"Two old goblins." Lu Xiaofeng blurted out.
......
Hua Manlou let out a dry cough, and poked his nose with the other hand holding the fan, feeling like he was about to fight.
But unexpectedly, Wu Chang liked this title very much, his eyes were crooked with a smile, like a new moon on the first day of junior high school.Passed the little leopard in his arms to Chongxi, stretched out a finger from the thick sleeve, and hooked Lu Xiaofeng: "Come here, let the old fairy see if your little phoenix has grown taller? "
The little leopard lost his warm embrace, and was very dissatisfied. He put the pot on the head of a certain stinky phoenix, and bared his teeth and growled at him.
"Brother Lu hasn't grown tall for many years. If you want to care about it, you should come a few years in advance." Hua Manlou suddenly said something, but it was a half-smile.
Wu Chang's expression suddenly changed.
Lu Xiaofeng's heart burst instantly.Look, his family, Huamanlou, is really good at protecting her husband!It is very worth rewarding a hundred kisses. It is best to sleep together after kissing, cover a quilt, and sleep.
"Hmph!" Wu Chang flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left, "If you want to heal your eyes, follow me!"
Chongxi came over and handed the little leopard to Huamanlou, sighed helplessly: "You guys." Then he followed suit.
The last time Huamanlou heard from Lu Xiaofeng that Wu Chang was holding a cub in his arms, um, I wanted to pet it.But I just said something to someone, it will be a bit tricky to hold the smooth and soft little leopard.
"Don't pay attention to them." Lu Xiaofeng pinched the face of the little leopard who was very hostile to him, "Let's go, let's see what they're up to."
The two walked behind for a long time, passing through Zhige City, and arrived at a deserted forest outside the city, where Wu Chang and Chongxi were looking for things before.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Xiaofeng looked around, looking bare and deserted.
Wu Chang looked back and saw the little leopard in Huamanlou's arms, he stretched out his arms to hug him, squatted down on the stone, glanced at Chongxi, and then sulked silently.
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless about his behavior.
Hua Manlou was caught off guard and didn't react, and stood there empty-handed, a little embarrassed, blushing slightly.
Chongxi said in time: "Didn't you catch Hai Chengren? He is just a pawn. If you want to catch the person behind it, you must find something."
While listening to him, Lu Xiaofeng wandered around to Wu Chang, and stretched out his hand—give it to me.
Wu Chang turned his face away.do not give.Who made your house so bad.
Hearing that Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, Huamanlou took Chongxi's words: "What are you looking for?" Judging from the previous incident and Cheng Wei's words, Hai Chengren, who is only obsessed with medicine, is not the one who executes everything. , more like taking orders from others, the tip of the iceberg.
Chongxi pointed to Lin Shenshen:
"Na Ling Talisman."
