I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Peiyu silently turned her face away, refusing to answer this question.

Chong Yi put his eyes on the big shopkeeper, waiting for the big shopkeeper to give him an answer.

When the shopkeeper asked this question, he regretted it. What is he talking so much about?

The two honored guests talked very well, and there was no distress on their faces when they spent a lot of money. They must be people who have seen the world. He only needs to show these two people the things in the box, and the honored guests will naturally find out the clues.

Facing Chong Yi's urging gaze, the shopkeeper dared not answer, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "It was called from the south, it's..."

The big shopkeeper plucked up the courage to raise his head, his eyes quickly swept over Chong Yi's face, and after confirming that Chong Yi didn't ask knowingly, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a description of sworn brothers."

Song Peiyu silently raised her folding fan to cover her face, this kind of nonsense can only fool Chong Yi, a fool like Chong Yi, fortunately, the big shopkeeper is not lying, it is just that this brother is not the other brother.

After Chong Yi got the answer, for some reason, great disappointment surged in his heart, he looked away from the big shopkeeper with disinterest, and vetoed without hesitation, "It's not Brother Qi."

Song Peiyu's upturned eye tails were visible to the naked eye, inexplicably aggrieved, but he did not deny Chong Yi's words.

The smile on the shopkeeper's face, which was already difficult to maintain, became even stiffer, and he wished he could go back to being cheap and give himself a few big slaps first.

He saw that there was a friendship and tacit understanding in the corners of the eyes and brows of the two distinguished guests that no one else could penetrate. Obviously the taller person looked more powerful, but the one who called the shots was the shorter person.

Although they didn't make particularly intimate gestures in public, it made people naturally think about them.

Unexpectedly, his eyes that have been vicious for decades would sometimes go astray.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a blind eye...

The big shopkeeper lowered his head in confusion, and looked at it with his vicious eyes. He couldn't tell if the tall customer just wanted to have fun and didn't want to be responsible, so he refused so firmly.The tall guest really didn't know the meaning of 'worshiping brothers'.

The shopkeeper was not silent for long.

He has also encountered a lot of embarrassing situations caused by saying the wrong words. At this time, he must not panic. As long as he finds a new topic, the stagnant atmosphere will improve.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the tall distinguished guest suddenly reaching out to hold the hand of the shorter distinguished guest in his palm, and naturally said in an unquestionable tone, "It's my lover."

The big shopkeeper suddenly forgot that he was trying to change the topic by some means, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

lovers?

What a new vocabulary.

Is he out of fashion?

This is not a good sign.

Song Peiyu's reaction was no better than that of the shopkeeper. He instinctively moved up the folding fan that half covered his face until it completely covered his entire face.

Lover... tsk, it's really nasty.

He likes this description.

This is what Song Peiyu never expected to hear from Chong Yi.

"It turns out that people like us are too vulgar, and we are not as frank as you, a distinguished guest." After a short period of self-doubt, the shopkeeper immediately doubled his fighting spirit. People who are responsible, but they clearly have feelings for each other but use the Qi brothers as a cover, instead they are not up and down, which makes people even more uncomfortable to hear."

Chong Yi was not photographed flattering, but he keenly felt that the Qi brothers had meanings other than sworn brothers.

With an expression of interest on his face, he asked the shopkeeper to elaborate on Brother Qi.

The shopkeeper no longer had any worries, and faced the God of Wealth from the sky again, he naturally knew everything and said everything.

Brother Qi is a popular saying from the south. There are men marrying men, and men marrying men.

If two men formally get married according to the six chapels, they will not marry another wife and have children by default. If they want children, they will only choose adoption.

If they become brothers and sisters, not only will there be no delay in marrying their own wives and having children, but the brothers will also help with money and effort when the brothers get married.After they get married and have children, their relationship will not change.

Any family with some spare energy, even if they bought a maid, would leave offspring.

Moreover, Jiangnan has always been rich and prosperous, and it also pays the most attention to heirs.

Therefore, most of them are Qi brothers in the south, and there are very few men and men who formally pay homage to the church. Even if there are, most of them are in places that are extremely poor and extremely unbalanced between boys and girls.

In order to please the distinguished guests, the shopkeeper told Chong Yi everything he knew, without keeping anything.

He thought about it, and told Chong Yi again.There are also many Qi brothers in the north, but they are not as blatant as in the south.

It stands to reason that the atmosphere in the north should be more open than that in the south.

The south wind has prevailed since the previous dynasty, and Chen Guozhong, who now occupies Xuzhou and Yangzhou, still has many descendants of the princes of the previous dynasty.

However, the north is darkly disturbed by foreigners. The foreigners are more open in matters of men and women. During those years when they occupied the north, many earth-shattering jokes were made.

Many of the jokes are inseparable from the word 'color'.

Over time, the atmosphere in China became more open, and there were even female generals living in the north. On the contrary, they kept secrets about men and women, and regarded men and women as a shameful shame.

In fact, it was decades ago that northerners evolved from their hatred of foreigners.

Chong Yi never interrupted the big shopkeeper, like a big cat who only found a novelty toy, seemingly lazily licking its paws, not paying attention to the outside world at all, but focused most of its attention on the big shopkeeper.

Only when the big shopkeeper mentioned a topic that Chong Yi was interested in, would he condescend and ask, "How can a man and a man marry each other?"

Song Peiyu, whose face and neck had finally subsided, heard Chong Yi's words, and immediately looked at Chong Yi's expression.

Seeing the seriousness in Chong Yi's eyes, Song Peiyu immediately remembered the fear of chasing Chong Yi when he was in Weiguo, coughed lightly, and winked at the shopkeeper, "You haven't said what's in the box yet."

The shopkeeper first said to Chong Yi, "Since there are six rituals, there is generally no difference between a man and a man marrying a man and a woman marrying. It mainly depends on the customs of each place."

Then before Chong Yi could ask again, the shopkeeper had already opened the last box, and showed the contents inside to the two of them.

"Moyu?" Song Peiyu looked at the jade crown in natural sunlight, which seemed to be radiant but also silent and restrained, with a little surprise.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that good jade is priceless. There are jade pendants that can be bought for dozens of copper plates on the street, and there are also imperial green longevity peaches that Song Peiyu is willing to spend 500 taels of gold.

Although it is not an exaggeration to say that the value is very different, there is a reason for it.

This black jade crown is still not as good as the king's green peach, but it is far more rare than the mutton fat jade Guanyin.

The shopkeeper first put the jade crown that Song Peiyu and Chong Yi had seen back into the box, spread the neatly folded soft cloth on the table, and then put the jade crown on the flat soft cloth.

There is not only one black jade crown in the box, but two.

Song Pei still remembered that before the shopkeeper opened the box, he specifically asked him and Chong Yi if they were Qi brothers. After carefully observing the patterns on the Moyu crown, he finally found the clue.

The two ink jade crowns are both men's models, and there is almost no difference in style, but there are subtle differences in the lines on them, one is the left-facing twig, and the other is the right-facing twig.The two black jade crowns are placed together, and the patterns can just match.

No wonder they were asked first if they were Qi brothers.

Song Peiyu fell into deep thought.

Ink jade is rare, and Zhao Guo respects ink.

Except for the royal family who dared to use ink color blatantly, only the court officials whose court clothes were already in ink color dared to use ink color accessories, and most of them were rewarded by Emperor Yonghe.

These two black jade crowns...he couldn't take them out.

Chong Yi can take it.

If so, buy it!

He didn't take the other one with him, and he was happy to keep it at home.

It's just that the carvings on these two black jade crowns are not very delicate, and some of them are not suitable for Chongyi. After returning to Xianyang, let people polish them.

Add some vermillion bird patterns to Chong Yi's black jade crown, and add... cat patterns to his black jade crown?

Although green bamboo is more in line with his temperament, it always feels too ordinary.

Anyway, he would not take Mo Yuguan out.

The shopkeeper misunderstood Song Peiyu's silence.

These two black jade crowns were not originally from Qing County. When the owner of the shop was young, he saw someone claiming that there was an urgent need for money at home and selling the pair of black jade crowns at a very low price. I want to buy this pair of black jade crowns back.

Then it can't be sold, and the bottom of the box has been pressed until now.This item is not easy to sell in Zhao State, but it is easy to sell it to traveling merchants in Chen State. Chen State does not respect ink color, and it is very common for a son of a big family to have a blue-faced confidant.

But the owner of the shop said that Mo Yuguan was originally bought from a merchant in Chen country, and unless he could earn double the price, he would never sell it back to Chen country.

The big shopkeeper could only pretend not to know that the owner's family had a bad relationship with Chen Guoyou merchants and suffered a loss, so he said so, and put the pair of black jade crowns in the warehouse with a sad face, eating ashes with the emperor green peaches.

Now that it's hard to meet a buyer, the shopkeeper really doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.

His eyes turned around Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, and finally fell on Chong Yi who seemed to be difficult to speak.

Chong Yi immediately felt the big shopkeeper's gaze, raised his eyelids and looked over, just in time to see the big shopkeeper winking wildly at him.

"Lang Jun, watch first, I'll get someone to change the pot of tea for you." The shopkeeper smiled and walked behind the screen.

Chong Yi remembered the question interrupted by Song Peiyu, and got up slowly. Seeing that Song Peiyu didn't pay attention to him at all, he walked behind the screen.

After the big shopkeeper ordered people to fetch new tea, he asked the man who was always guarding outside the door to go to the place he designated to pick up a small box with a square shape.

When Chong Yi also walked to the door, the clerk just came back with a small box and was panting heavily.

The big shopkeeper took the small box into his hand, and casually grabbed a handful of copper coins from his purse and gave it to the waiter, "Wait here first, and when the distinguished guest leaves, I will give you half a day off to have tea."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, the shopkeeper will open the door to see the money!" The clerk happily agreed, and carefully hid the copper plate in his belt.

The shopkeeper held the box and approached Chong Yi who was leaning against the wall behind the screen, and said with a smile, "What do you think of the two black jade crowns?"

Chong Yi's expression was flat, "normal"

If he didn't think that the shopkeeper is quite an interesting person, Chong Yi would not have answered this question.

Not only was the shopkeeper not discouraged, but he was even more confident in selling the Mo Yuguan that had been under the box for a long time.

He had just noticed that when the treasure in the first box was taken out, the two gentlemen had a dispensable attitude.After taking out the treasure from the second box, only the shorter man showed love in his eyes, but the taller man was still not moved at all.

Being able to treat such treasures indifferently means that the gentleman in front of him is used to these treasures on a daily basis, or that the gentleman in front of him has seen better treasures a long time ago.

No matter what the reason is, it means that this gentleman has the ability to buy Mo Yuguan without heartache.

The shopkeeper cautiously approached Chong Yi a few more steps, and took the initiative to hand over the small box in his hand, his voice was low and inaudible, "If you are willing to buy the three treasures together, the little one is willing to give you a gift."

Chong Yi raised his chin, motioning for the shopkeeper to open the box.

The big shopkeeper smiled in a low voice, took out a bunch of keys from the position close to his chest, and searched for a while before trying out which key could open the box.

After opening the box, the first layer is a small booklet.

It's not the most common white hemp paper, nor is it rice paper or parchment paper, but a texture similar to silk, soft to hold in the hand.

Chong Yi put his palm under the booklet and opened a page at will.

There are lifelike figure paintings embroidered on the silk. A tall but not thin man is sitting on the bed with his long hair hanging loose. The nightgown on his shoulders is hanging on his body. Looking down the top of the nightgown, even A vivid vermilion can be seen.

Another man reached out and grabbed the ankle of the man on the bed, as if he wanted to drag the man off the bed, and also seemed to want to pounce on the man on the bed.

Chong Yi, who has seen zongzi and zongzi leaves, as well as stickman and big black and little black, opened his eyes silently, full of shock and strong interest.

He suppressed his emotions and turned directly to the last page.

Based on his previous experience, big black and little black will make their debut at this time.

It was still the exceptionally handsome young man on the front page. He was sitting in another person's arms, with an expression on his face that was both pain and joy.The clothes on the upper body are intact, but the lower body is not covered by anything, even the hair is clearly visible.

'Snapped'

Chong Yi suddenly closed the album.

The handsome young man in the album clearly had a face, but what came to his mind was another face.

Chong Yi silently looked at the screen, his eyes became more and more hot.

Song Peiyu, who was still studying how to let craftsmen transform the ink jade crown, sneezed silently, but didn't take it to heart, not knowing that something about him had already been missed.

The shopkeeper saw Chong Yi's reaction, and knew that he was doing the right thing.

I didn't expect this gentleman to be so cold and unapproachable, but to be so... pure?

He was born either rich or noble, but he had never even read a picture album.

No wonder he had to know what Brother Qi meant.

The big shopkeeper hesitated, and said in a barely audible voice, "Mr. Lang, have you tried this kind of fish-and-water pleasure with your lover?"

Chong Yi was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

The big shopkeeper was also silent for a while, and then removed the completely empty tray without the album in the wooden box, and then lifted the wooden box to Chong Yi again.

Inside are big and small jade, the small ones are slender, and the big ones are thick and long.

Disappointment flashed in Chong Yi's eyes, and he looked at the shopkeeper in blank dismay.

Rao is the big shopkeeper who always talks about people when he sees people, and talks about people when he sees ghosts.Thick-skinned and used to it, he also felt a bit overwhelmed at this time, and asked in a voice that he couldn't hear clearly, "Do you know how to use it?"

Before Chong Yi could react, the shopkeeper knew that he had asked the wrong question, and immediately put the box on the ground, held the tray full of warm jade in his hand, and signaled Chong Yi to look at the bottom brochure with his eyes.

Chong Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the booklet in his hand, this time it was no longer silk but rice paper.

After he took the booklet in his hand, he immediately flipped through it, and found that there were no pictures but words in it, and he immediately showed a disappointed expression.

Fortunately, Chong Yi has never been impatient with the things he really cares about.

After silently flipping through a few pages, Chong Yi's eyes became more and more moist, and even the neck and the sides of his face quickly spread a thin blush. His gaze subtly looked at the tray held in the hands of the big shopkeeper and the trays of different sizes. One warm jade.

Not only did he know how to use these things, he also found the ointment recipes on the last few pages of the booklet somewhat familiar.

Chong Yi's memory has always been very good, he looked at the "jasper paste" written in the booklet.

The quality is like chalcedony, it melts with the body temperature when poured into the hands, the fragrance is slightly fragrant at first, and the fragrance becomes stronger afterward...'

When he and Song Peiyu looked at the picture book for the first time, the plaster that Song Peiyu put on his legs was completely in line with the characteristics of jasper plaster.

When Song Peiyu planned how to let the craftsman modify the pair of black jade crowns, and was about to discuss the price with the big shopkeeper, he realized that the big shopkeeper and Chong Yi had disappeared unknowingly.

There were always whispering voices behind the screen, but Song Peiyu was not Chong Yi, he only knew that there was someone behind the screen, but he couldn't tell whether it was Chong Yi or the shopkeeper.

Song Peiyu's words 'Chong Yi' and 'Suzaku' appeared in turn, both of whom thought they would reveal their identities, and the last one who called out was, "Song Que?"

After a pause, Chong Yi's voice came from behind the screen, "I'm here"

Song Peiyu frowned at Chong Yi's absent-minded tone, and was about to look behind the screen when Chong Yi appeared with a small box.

Chong Yi lowered his head and stood still in front of Song Peiyu. Seeing Song Peiyu staring at him and not speaking, he took the initiative to explain, "This is a gift from the shopkeeper."

Chong Yi is very white, the kind of cold white skin, completely different from the sickly white that Song Peiyu developed when he was weak and sick.Song Peiyu could easily see the bright red behind Chong Yi's ears and neck that had not completely faded.

If he didn't have absolute trust in Chong Yi's force value, Song Peiyu would have doubted whether Chong Yi was taken advantage of by the big shopkeeper under his nose.

Knowing that it was impossible, Song Peiyu still felt dissatisfied with the big shopkeeper because of this idea, and looked at the big shopkeeper with a half-smile, "Just bring the gift, I can't see it?"

The big shopkeeper 'hehe' laughed twice, and lowered his head in shame.

When he had just guided Chong Yi to discover the uses of various small things in the box, he had imagined how simple Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's original life was, and he was in the guilty conscience of teaching others to be bad, and he felt comfortable after being ridiculed by the bitter master a lot.

The big shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, but Song Peiyu didn't want to ask any more questions, so he asked the big shopkeeper to keep the ink jade crown for him. Within three days, he would definitely get the money back.

When Song Peiyu and Chong Yi were about to leave, Chong Yi was carrying the gift box and refused to let go. He said that he would take the gift away without waiting until three days later.

But the shopkeeper couldn't let Song Peiyu and Chong Yi take away the gift before paying for the goods.

The small box is full of things that can be treasured, and they can be worth hundreds of taels of silver. If Song Peiyu and Chong Yi didn't buy the two treasures in the store without bargaining, there is still hope for the third one. Zhibao, the shopkeeper would never take out a small box as a gift.

Chong Yi's unprecedented caring appearance aroused Song Peiyu's curiosity.

Song Peiyu glanced at the lock on the small box, and reached out to the shopkeeper, "Key, let me see what's inside first."

Chong Yi winked at the big shopkeeper, lowered his head close to Song Peiyu's ear, and said hoarsely, "It's a picture album."

Song Peiyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by the stickman and the big black and the little black, and looked up at Chong Yi suspiciously, "Better than the old ones?"

Chong Yi nodded affirmatively.

Although he remained skeptical about Chong Yi's gaze, Song Peiyu remained honest and silent.When he and Chong Yi were in Qihuo City, they read countless pictures and were well-informed.

The album that makes Chong Yi so reluctant to put it down.

Shouldn't be too hot on the eyes?

At least not worse than those they have seen!

Song Peiyu whispered, "Give your Xiangyun Liuli as a deposit to the shopkeeper."

On the way from Xianyang to Yu County, Chong Yi 'convinced' King Anping to be loyal and planned to give King Anping a meeting gift, but found that he didn't have any suitable things on him.Song Peiyu took the initiative to give the newly obtained Xiangyun Liuli to Chong Yi, but Chong Yi detained it.

That piece of colorful auspicious cloud glaze was something Song Peiyu casually picked up to play with. There was no imprint on it that would reveal their identities, so it was just right to mortgage it to the shopkeeper.

The expression on Chong Yi's face gradually became serious, and he refused to answer Song Peiyu's words.

Song Peiyu narrowed her eyes and offered Chong Yi a choice, "Xiangyun Liuli or this box, which one do you want?"

"...the box" Chong Yi clenched his right hand subconsciously, and reluctantly took out the auspicious cloud glaze in his sleeve pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.

There was a strange look in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he was right in his judgment!

The value of the things that noble people take out at will can be comparable to that of suet jade.

The shopkeeper took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and put it on his hand, and respectfully raised his hands to catch the auspicious cloud glass in Chong Yi's hand.

"Don't worry, the little one will put this piece of auspicious cloud glaze with the three treasures you ordered, and when the money is settled, it will definitely be returned to Zhao." The big shopkeeper nodded solemnly.

Chong Yi looked at Xiangyun Liuli in the palm of the shopkeeper reluctantly, neither speaking nor nodding.

Song Peiyu's head hurt from seeing it, but in desperation, she could only stretch out her hand and push Chong Yi to leave.

He is not short of Chong Yi's Liuli!

Whenever Liulifang made the latest glaze, it would pick the best ones and send them to him, and he would pick the best ones and send them to the East Palace.

It’s just a piece of auspicious cloud glaze, even if there are seven colors without disturbing each other, visually showing the effect of a rainbow, it’s just an auspicious coincidence.

It is absolutely impossible for Chong Yi, who has seen many good things, to care to this extent.

Even though he thought so, after pushing Chong Yi out of Yuling Pavilion, Song Peiyu immediately took Chong Yi to find money.

The three treasures cost a total of 900 taels of gold.

Among them, the imperial green longevity peach accounts for 500 taels of gold, the black jade crown accounts for 350 taels of gold, and the mutton fat jade son-giving Guanyin accounts for 50 taels of gold.

Song Peiyu has money, but she doesn't travel around with thousands of taels of gold.

He never thought that there would be something worth 900 taels of gold in Qing County.

There is time to go back to Qihuo City to withdraw money, but it is not necessary.

Song Peiyu thought for a while, took the token that Sheng Tairan gave him, and went to find Sheng's firm.

When Sheng's caravan goes to Qihuo City again, as long as he takes out his IOU, Qihuocheng will not only get the corresponding goods for Sheng's caravan according to the amount on the IOU, but also send a box of transparent crystal bowls.

A box of six crystal bowls is 3000 taels of silver.

After seeing Sheng Tairan's token, Sheng's Commercial Company immediately promised to raise gold immediately, at the latest in the afternoon of the next day, two days earlier than Song Peiyu's promise to the shopkeeper.

Song Peiyu and Chong Yi all smiled, and were very satisfied with the efficiency of Sheng's Firm.

In the evening, Song Peiyu planned to study the new picture album with Chong Yi, but Chong Yi's attitude was not very positive, saying that he would study it after returning to Xianyang.

Song Peiyu thought about it for a while, it seemed that Chong Yi never made trouble with him as long as he needed to hurry.

This discovery softened Song Peiyu's heart and made her even more interested.

Anyway, they wanted to stay in Qing County to wait for the Sheng's firm's gold, and they would definitely still be in Qing County tomorrow, so it didn't matter if it was later.

So when Song Peiyu's legs trembled on the second day and she could barely control her, she regretted once again.

He suspected that Chong Yi had taken a big pill beforehand, but he had no evidence.

In fact, he didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to eat with Dan, otherwise he really couldn't bear it.

It's a pity that Song Peiyu was so focused on what happened last night that she didn't even notice a small box with a lock under the bed.

What's more, they don't know that although Chong Yi didn't take the big pill, he secretly made up lessons behind his back.

It wasn't until the people from the Sheng family brought the 900 taels of gold in the afternoon that Song Peiyu lazily got up from the bed, planning to bring back the auspicious cloud glass that Chong Yi had been thinking about earlier.

Seeing the gate of Yuling Pavilion from a distance, Song Peiyu noticed something was wrong.

The shop didn't open at all, and the pedestrians around subconsciously avoided it when they passed by, as if they were avoiding something dirty.

Jin Bao, who was carrying a small box, immediately handed the box to Laifu, and went around to find out what happened.

Without much effort, Jin Bao came back with a calm expression, and told Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, "Yesterday afternoon, when the shop was about to close, a yamen servant came over suddenly, and took away many shopkeepers and assistants."

"Where's the master of Yuling Pavilion?" Laifu asked impatiently.

How the store is has nothing to do with them, as long as there is no problem with the things the master ordered.

Jin Bao sighed, "Not only the owner and shopkeeper of Yuling Pavilion were taken away, but all the goods in the store were also emptied."

Chong Yi moved his gaze from the cracked plaque on the top of the store to Jin Bao's face, "Where is the county government office?"

In just four words, Jin Bao not only heard the murderous look, but even his feet were a little soft.

Song Peiyu quickly took Chong Yi's arm with both hands, for fear that Chong Yi would rush directly to the county government office to find his Xiangyun Liuli.

"Let Jin Bao find out what mistake the owner of the store made. Don't worry, our things will definitely be fine..." Song Peiyu hadn't finished speaking when a group of people in yamen clothes suddenly appeared at the corner ahead.

"One high and one low, that's them!"

"I didn't expect them to have three accomplices."

"Put down the box, put your hands up!"

……

The Yamen servants surrounded Chong Yi, Song Peiyu and others tightly, and their shiny blades were pointing at them.

Song Peiyu grabbed Chong Yi's arm even harder, watching Jin Bao negotiate with the yamen servant.

With Jin Bao's knowledge, he would never be intimidated by such small yamen servants in the county town. Even if he was surrounded by groups, he didn't show panic on his face, and he was even more calm than the yamen servants who surrounded them.

Jin Bao looked around for a week, and stopped on the leader, "Which law of Qing County did we violate? So many officials were dispatched by the yamen to shout and kill on the street."

The leader raised his chin high, and snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly put down the things in your hands, put down your hands, and raise your hands, if you resist, you will be shot!"

"Bold!" Laifu threw the box in his hand on the ground, pointed at the head of the leading yamen servant and said, "Who gave you the courage to be so rude, do you know who our master is?"

The eyes of the leading yamen servant lingered for a while on the box thrown on the ground by Laifu and the box in Yinbao's hand, his aura was not inferior to Laifu's, "No matter who your master is, even if it's the Song and Lu family's petite guests , when you arrive in Qing County, you must abide by the rules of Qing County!"

Song Peiyu understood in seconds, it turned out that the Mu family was in charge of Qing County.

Laifu hates others to talk about the appearance of men and women most. Hearing this, he immediately loses his mind and is about to speak again, but Yin Bao, who also throws the box in his hand on the ground, covers his mouth.

Song Peiyu smiled, and looked sideways at Chong Yi, "Then let's go and see who has such a big tone? In case you can't find anyone after you settle accounts."

Except on the bed, Chong Yi would not immediately object to anything Song Peiyu said, and this time was no exception.

Seeing that Song Peiyu and his party were always calm, the leading yamen servant began to beat his heart.

He heard people from Yuling Pavilion describe Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, and he thought they were wealthy businessmen from Xianyang, and at most they had some relationship with the Sheng family.

Unexpectedly, when they heard that Song and Lu had to abide by the rules in Qing County, they would be even more arrogant instead of surprised. Could it be that they were really from Song and Lu?

After turning this thought in his mind twice, the leading yamen servant put his mind back firmly in his stomach.

So what if they were people from Song and Lu?

Even Song and Lu in Xianyang have to look at Mu's face, let alone in Qing County?

In Qing County, the Mu family is heaven!

And even if these two master-like young men were from Song and Lu, their status in Song and Lu would not be high, and they might just be side branches.

Otherwise, how could they not know that their county magistrate is a member of the Mu clan, the sixth prince of His Royal Highness.

Thinking of this, the leading yamen servant became arrogant again, and ordered someone to pick up the small box that Lai Fu and Yinbao had thrown on the ground, and then unhesitatingly cut off the small lock on the box, and went to see what was inside.

One or two weights of small gold bricks were neatly stacked together, and the servants who had never seen so much gold were stunned.The leading yamen servant swallowed very obviously.

Seeing everyone's expressions and reactions, Song Peiyu sneered.He knew what was going on.

After the box was opened, these yamen servants were full of yearning and greed to take it for themselves, but there was no surprise.

These yamen servants have known for a long time that there is gold in the box, and they suddenly rushed out to shout and kill for gold.

It is likely that the three treasures of the Yuling Pavilion have leaked the news, and the county magistrate became greedy for the three treasures of the Yuling Pavilion, so he found a famous person to take most of the people in the Yuling Pavilion, and the goods were also lost. All move away.

Whether the removed goods were moved to the county government office or to the county magistrate's home is still unknown.

Even buyers like them who have reached an agreement with Yuling Pavilion and are ready to trade, the county magistrate will not let them go.

Sure enough, no matter how greedy the yamen servants were, they didn't dare to touch the gold in the box. They could only endure the pain in their hearts and cover the box again, and then forced Song Peiyu and others, suggesting in every possible way that Song Peiyu and others would hand over all the money on their bodies.

In order to achieve their goals, the servants dare to say anything cruel.

He could even say "Even if the crown prince of the East Palace is here, he should respectfully call the magistrate the sixth prince", and he took the increasingly weird expressions of Song Peiyu and his party as fear, and became more and more complacent.

Song Peiyu was too lazy to waste time with the little bandits brought out by the bandit county magistrate, and happily threw out the jade pendant, purse and jade folding fan in his hand, and also threw out the new purse hanging from Chongyi's waist out.

Fortunately, as soon as he leaves Xianyang, Song Peiyu is used to changing the sapphire string Chong Yi gave him to wear on his ankle, so that he will not turn against these government officials on the spot.

Seeing this, Jin Bao and the others followed suit, throwing all their money at the yamen servants, watching with a sneer that these yamen servants were chasing after their purses of gold and silver like monkeys being teased.

He blatantly snatched their master's head, and didn't ask how the Liangzhou Prince Rui who stole their master's head was doing.

Maybe it was the gold and silver that opened the way, maybe it was the calm and calm attitude of Song Peiyu and others that shocked the yamen servants.

Along the way, the servants did not make things difficult for Song Peiren and others.

A group of people soon came to the county government office.

The leading yamen servant brought 900 taels of gold to report, while Song Peiyu and others were surrounded by the rest of the yamen servants.

Fortunately, Song Peiyu had been lying down for the whole morning, just when she wanted to stand and walk, so she was quite patient, and the yamen servant ignored him, so he dragged Chong Yi to walk around the yard at will.

An hour later, the leading yamen servant went back and forth, standing at the bottom of the steps, looking down at Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, "You two, stop wandering! The county magistrate summoned you!"

Song Peiyu pulled Chongyi and walked over. When passing by the leading yamen servant, he asked casually, "What's your name?"

The leading yamen servant held his head high, "You don't need to know my name."

Song Peiyu didn't force it, just said in a low voice, "It's a pity", and then pulled Chong Yi, and walked over the leading yamen servant to the lobby.

The leading yamen servant didn't wait for the expected compliment, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and cursed almost inaudibly at the backs of Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, "Bah! Xiaojiazi who has no eyesight."

Chong Yi turned his head just before the leading yamen servant had time to look away, and his cold eyes were facing the angry eyes of the yamen servant.

The leading yamen servant couldn't use specific words to describe his feelings after seeing Shang Chongyi's gaze.

At a certain moment, he really felt the threat of death, as if a sharp sword was resting on his neck, and was about to slash through it the next moment.

'boom'

The leading yamen servant's legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, only to be awakened by the sharp pain from his legs.

Realizing what happened just now, the leading yamen servant became furious, and slammed the person who came to help him back, angrily shouting, "I'm fine!"

The voice from behind came faintly into the lobby, and the county magistrate in full official uniform frowned fiercely, and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "It seems like a tough guy."

Originally, he only wanted 900 taels of gold, and he didn't want to do anything to the merchants who according to Yuling Pavilion were from Xianyang. If they don't know each other, he can't be blamed.

The county magistrate standing beside the county magistrate immediately said, "Since they are not sensible, let's leave them alone. After feeling the power of the county magistrate, they will naturally learn to be sensible."

The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction, picked up the documents on the corner of the table, and looked down intently.

After Song Peiyu entered the hall, she found out that the county magistrate not only promoted them when they didn't even give them a charge, but also invited the people of Qing County to attend the hall.

So far, the Qingxian county government is the place that best reflects the wealthier life of the people in Qingxian County.

Not only was the small courtyard decorated just now full of flowers, but the county government hall was even more magnificent.

From the place where the county magistrate Gao sat to the place where Song Peiyu stood, there were nine steps.

Xianyang Qinzheng Hall, where Emperor Yonghe sits, is only three steps away from the courtiers.

The county magistrate above kept his head down, staring intently at the documents spread out on the table, without even looking at the people in the hall.

The county magistrate suddenly picked up the gavel on the table and slapped it hard, shouting angrily, "Who is under the hall? Why don't you kneel when you see the county magistrate!"

Song Peiyu laughed unceremoniously, "We are innocent, why should we kneel?"

"You are still unwilling to admit your mistakes!" The county magistrate made a heartbroken confession and began to count the crimes of Song Peiyu and others.

He defined the owner of Yuling Pavilion as a spy sent by another country to Qing County, Song
