"What...what you said makes me confused." The middle-aged man panicked for a moment, then adjusted to his flattering appearance.

Li Xinran looked at the middle-aged man with clear almond-shaped eyes and a gentle smile: "None of the old ministers begging for bones this year are above the third rank, and our court stipulates that officials below the third rank cannot have two houses with more than three rooms in their name. According to your According to the scope pointed out to me, this place must be a village owned by a third-grade official. The only person who has such a house and is eager to sell it recently is the right minister of the Ministry of War who was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion for taking bribes. I'm right. "

The middle man suddenly broke into a cold sweat and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"I think," Li Xinran turned to look at the field at the foot of the mountain, "this Zhuangzi may not be the name of the right servant. I went to the government office with you to transfer the deed, and I didn't hand over it to him, but it must have been him when I bought it. You're showing off, right?" Li Xinran turned back to look at the stranger.

The middleman smiled, but before he spoke, Li Xinran said: "I won't embarrass you, 350 taels, it's your business to keep 50 taels or [-] taels for hard work. I just want this Zhuangzi. I'm right. Officials who accept bribes are severely punished, so instead of trying to find ways to get people, it would be better to take the money and go back to their hometowns to save most of the people, right?"

The middle-aged man's eyes rolled, and then a chrysanthemum smile appeared on his face: "What the young lady said is that I should contact the master's family. If there is any news..."

"Just contact me at the Jufulou Restaurant in the city." Uncle Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, then please wait for my news." The middle-aged man turned around and took Li Xinran and the others down the mountain, and respectfully put them on the carriage.

"Miss, where are we going?" Uncle Zhong drove the carriage, and Fu Qingfeng sat next to Uncle Zhong.

"Go to where you live." After Li Xinran got in the car, she closed her eyes and rested.

The carriage staggered to the Jufulou Restaurant. After hearing Uncle Zhong's words, Li Xinran opened his eyes and got out of the car with Yingge's help.

Although Uncle Zhong opened a room for Fu Qingfeng in this restaurant, Li Xinran couldn't go directly to Fu Qingfeng's room, so he asked the waiter to open another room.

Sitting in the room, Li Xinran looked at Fu Qingfeng.

From before to now, Fu Qingfeng only introduced his name. Now when he saw Li Xinran looking at him, he gathered his clothes and bowed down: "Little man Fu Qingfeng, hello to the young lady."

Li Xinran smiled slightly: "Master Fu, please get up."

Fu Qingfeng stood up and looked at Li Xinran but hesitated to speak.

"If Mr. Fu has anything to ask, you might as well tell him. I need Mr. Fu to do something for me, and naturally I want you to have no doubts in your mind." Li Xinran raised her right hand slightly, indicating to Fu Qingfeng that it was okay.

Fu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "Miss, do you know that the villain has offended someone?"

"I know." Li Xinran said calmly, without any change in the expression on his face.

"Does the young lady know who the villain offended?" Fu Qingfeng asked.

"Appreciate further details."

"The villain is offending Mr. Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs." Fu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said.

"How did you offend him?" Li Xinran asked curiously.

"Master Wei's cousin was the county magistrate in the villain's hometown. He was wrongly convicted and killed the villain's brother. The villain sued all the way to the capital and finally had him executed. It seemed that everything was settled, but the villain returned to his hometown. During the imperial examination, I was falsely accused of cheating, deprived of my merit, and kicked out when I went out to apply for the imperial examination. Later, a shop owner saw that I was really pitiful, so he told me that someone from above had ordered them not to recruit me. A big brother from the caravan did not believe in evil and wanted to He wanted me to be a bookkeeper in his caravan, but the caravan was investigated and his family fortune was wiped out. I had no choice but to beg for a living. If the young lady hired me to work, I might end up like my elder brother. Fu Qingfeng said sadly.

Li Xinran raised an eyebrow: "You said it was too late."

Fu Qingfeng looked at Li Xinran with confusion.

"You followed me to Zhuangzi, and then followed me into this hotel. Even if you say you are not mine now, no one will believe you." Li Xinran held her chin and said with a smile.

"Then what should I do? I..." Fu Qingfeng looked anxious and frowned.

Uncle Zhong also had a serious face and even glanced at Fu Qingfeng with displeasure.

"It doesn't matter," Li Xinran flicked his long sleeves, "Uncle Zhong probably didn't tell you that I am the daughter of General Li Songli. In terms of official position, my father is at the same level as Mr. Wei. I am not afraid of him threatening me. You just need to take care of me." You yourself, just don’t let him frame you.”

"Thank you, Miss!" Fu Qingfeng faced each other, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply, "It's just Miss, what can I do for Miss?" Fu Qingfeng asked doubtfully. This was also Uncle Zhong's doubts. This young man shouldered It cannot be carried by hand or lifted.

"With your reputation as a scholar, you can overthrow a county magistrate who is backed by a minister of civil affairs. This talent alone is worth recruiting you."

Looking at Li Xinran's smiling face, Fu Qingfeng clenched his hands unconsciously.

From the time his brother was killed to now, he has been enduring the malice of the world, and now, someone really stands in front of him and tells him, I appreciate you, so I use you.Not because of sympathy, not because of injustice, simply because of admiration for him.

Fu Qingfeng felt a fire burning in his chest, hitting his chest and making him want to roar.

With a "pop", Fu Qingfeng knelt down to Li Xinran, kowtowed three times and said, "Fu Qingfeng's life belongs to the young lady!"

Li Xinran smiled and nodded: "Just live here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell Uncle Zhong. When Zhuangzi's house is sorted, you can go over and help me train people."

"Yes."

Li Xinran looked at Uncle Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, you are responsible for everything here. When the middleman comes, just go and exchange the contract. Tell me how much money you need. You can also find Yingge Branch."

"Yes."

"Okay," Li Xinran stood up after finishing the instructions, "I'll go back first. If there are any problems later, Uncle Zhong will come to me again."

"Yes."

The two said goodbye, and Uncle Zhong sent Li Xinran back to Li Mansion.

On the way to see Li Xinran back home, Uncle Zhong asked curiously: "Miss, when did you know Fu Qingfeng?"

Li Xinran smiled: "The imperial examination of the scholar was a sensation back then, and it is still being performed on the stage now."

Uncle Zhong didn't ask any more questions, but Li Xinran fell into memories.

It was the third year after Kang Sheng took over as the king of Zhenbian. There was a rebellion in the south. It was said that they were a group of bandits. The court sent Kang Sheng to rebel. Kang Sheng was incompetent, so whether he designated strategies or went into battle to kill the enemy, he had to rely on himself.

That battle was very hard, and they were obviously just a ragtag group of people, but they fought as well as the elite soldiers she had trained for many years.

After a long time, she found out that among these bandits, there was a strategist with great wisdom and many demons. All strategies were specified by him. It was said that he was called the reincarnation of Guiguzi and he was highly regarded by the bandit leader.

In the end, he used counterintuitive tactics to drive a wedge between the second-in-command of the bandits and the bandit leader, and then he annihilated them in one fell swoop and captured the strategist alive.

Li Xinran still remembered that when the soldiers tied up the military advisor, he was wearing a blue gown and a wooden mask on his face.

The soldier roughly took off his mask, and the face that looked like a yaksha was none other than Fu Qingfeng.
