Great court system

Chapter 220 Former enemies
Gradually, when it came to Xu time, the sky was already dark, just like He Ning in Nanliang, it was another ordinary night with few stars and moon.

Northern Qi Lingyang Mansion is located in the city lord's mansion in the center of the city. Although the sky is getting dark, the lights here are brightly lit at this time, just like daytime, showing that this place is different.

The servants coming and going were looking around, and the entire mansion was resplendent. All kinds of noisy sounds seemed to converge into a torrent, soaring straight into the sky. It was so lively.

As the master of the entire Lingyang Mansion, the Xia family that Xia Changling belongs to has the supreme status in Lingyang Mansion.

After all, the Xia family has been the emperor of Lingyang Mansion for several generations. Regardless of whether the previous Xia family patriarchs have passed the test or not, they have left a deep impression on the hearts of people in Lingyang Mansion.

The status of the feudal monarch is unshakable. This is a basic national policy in Daqi. It was promulgated by Qi Taizu himself and engraved on the emperor's stele.So that later emperors did not dare to disobey.

Therefore, as long as the Xia family did not commit any major crimes of rebellion and regicide, and Da Qi did not destroy the country, then Lingyang Mansion is the fiefdom of the Xia family for generations, and no one can deprive it of it.

The head of the Xia family's generation is Xia Changling, who is also the lord of the entire Lingyang Mansion, and also a hereditary marquis. With such power, he has supreme authority in Lingyang Mansion.

In the eyes of outsiders, facing such a lord who is extremely greedy for money, the people of Lingyang Mansion should be living in dire straits, and the people should also hate their lord very much.

He Ning also had this idea at first, after all, in this world, carnivores are despicable, and those at the top don't care about the feelings of the people at the bottom.

But after actually coming to Lingyang Mansion, He Ning realized that he had thought wrong. Although the people in Lingyang Mansion were not that wealthy, they could still be considered as having enough food and clothing, which was not worse than some wealthy counties in Yangzhou. This world can be considered middle-class.

And the people of Lingyang Mansion also love their mansion lord very much. This is because although Xia Changling likes money, he never plunders his own people wantonly, and instead reduces and exempts taxes many times.

Comparing with some of the lords next door who extorted violently, it is conceivable that with such a lord, the people of Lingyang Mansion would cheer and love him.

"Sir, there are so many people here." Mo Bo and Han Dafu on the side exclaimed.

When the three of He Ning came to the front of the city lord's mansion, there was already a sea of ​​people, most of them were servants and the like, dressed in gorgeous clothes, busy with traffic, and all of them were in great ostentation.

As Xia Changling's daughter-in-law, Xia Ziwei's reputation is also not small, especially this year when she reaches the age of Jiji, many people come here not only to attend a birthday party, but also to propose marriage.

In the past, some people came to propose marriage, but Xia Changling refused all of them because Xia Ziwei was still young. This reason is very legitimate, so no one is mentioning this matter.

But now Xia Ziwei has reached the age of Jiji, and it happens to be her birthday, which makes some people have this idea again.

You must know that as the powerful Marquis of Daqi, the lord of Lingyang Mansion, and the master of the perfect Ksitigarbha Realm, many people want to climb into this in-laws, not to mention Xia Ziwei's legendary beauty.

At this time, the housekeeper outside the door was only hearing the distinguished guests one by one, and stopped many people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

"The Li family in the north of the city is sending you a pair of golden lion statues to welcome the head of the Li family. Please come in. The Marquis is waiting for you inside..."

"Xiping Liu's family, I will send you an agate dzi bead, welcome Patriarch Liu Shao, please come in, please come in, how is your old man's health..."

"Shenyu Sect, send an amber ivory carving, welcome Sect Master Wang, please come in, I heard that you have sent a genius disciple, congratulations..."

……

"The Li family and the Liu family, even the Shenyu Sect, are here. The mansion master is really showing respect. Which one of these big clans is not a master of the Tibetan realm, but they all come to congratulate Miss Xia on her birthday party."

"That's not true, Palace Master Xia's power in Lingyang Mansion is overwhelming, Miss Xia is also beautiful and heavenly, I heard that there are still many people who come to propose marriage, it is normal for so many people to come."

Hearing the discussion of the people around, He Ning raised his eyebrows, Xia Changling's power in Lingyang Mansion is really extraordinary, it is worthy of the enfeoffment system, the place is unity.

If this were in Daliang, the head of a county would not be loved by so many forces. After all, the county governor represents the imperial court. He is guarded in his heart and will not be too heart-to-heart.

But the enfeoffment system is different. The Xia family has completely integrated into the local area and has no barriers to local forces. The two systems have good and bad qualities and different national conditions.

"My lord, how do we get in? I was too anxious when I came here, so I didn't bring any gifts." Han Dafu asked in puzzlement. Each of the gifts sent by these big clans was at least 10 taels. I put it in my eyes, but I didn't have time to buy a gift.

Mo Bo also looked at He Ning, not knowing what He Ning could do.

He Ning smiled faintly, and said to himself: "Don't worry, I'm ready, come in with me."

However, before He Ning could take a few steps, a strange voice suddenly came from behind.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Mo Bo? Haha, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence." Just when He Ning and others were about to line up to give gifts, a mocking laugh suddenly appeared behind Mo Bo sounded.

Hearing this familiar voice, Mo Bo was slightly taken aback, and then his face became gloomy. A flame of anger seemed to rise in his chest, and he clenched his hands tightly, gradually turning pale.

But in the end, he seemed to think of something, and let go of his clenched fist. He Ning also noticed this situation, and looked from behind.

Looking for the sound, I saw a crowd of people rushing over. In the crowd, like stars over the moon, surrounded a richly dressed young man.

The young man is around eighteen or nineteen years old. He is quite handsome, but his face is a bit pale. His eyes are smiling playfully, looking at Mo Bo next to He Ning with slight disdain, as if he is looking at a person. Fun stuff in general.

Looking at the handsome young man, although Mo Bo tried his best to conceal his calm, He Ning caught a trace of extremely angry flames in his eyes.

He Ning frowned immediately, remembering that Mo Bo was also from Northern Qi, and asked in a deep voice, "Mo Bo, do you know who is here?"

Hearing He Ning's question, Mo Bozai couldn't hide the disgust on his face, and said coldly: "Of course I know him, not only that, even if he turns into ashes, I won't forget him.

This person is the chief culprit who framed me for leaving the Blood Evil Building, one of the third floors of the Blood Evil Building, and the young master of the Black Wood Building.

'Heisha' plus hunting iguana. "
