A traitor

On the second day, at Su Qinglang's insistence, the people from the Qin residence finally left the government office.

Yizhou is located in the northwest, hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, and has developed agriculture. It has always been an important grain-producing area in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

His surname is Yu, and his name is Huaizhong. He used to be a small county magistrate of a certain county in Yizhou. He had some bad luck a few years ago, but he was valued by the prime minister. He recommended him to the emperor. An official, promoted to a third-rank official in the court.

In the mansion, Su Qinglang came out of the house, because he had been tossing and tossing for half a night yesterday, and he still hasn't woken up yet, so he looked weak and quite tired.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the lord of Fuya coming up to welcome him, bowed his waist and cupped his hands and said: "Master Su..."

Su Qinglang was stretching his waist, and was taken aback by the sudden figure, seeing that it was Yu Huaizhong, so he smiled: "Master Yu, what can you do?"

With a smile on his face, Yu Huaizhong almost shook off a few creases, and said to him: "Master Su came to Yizhou for the first time, and the officials and several other adults specially prepared some local products. I hope you will accept them."

Su Qinglang paused for a moment while shaking the folding fan, and after recalling it, a smile appeared on his face: "Very good, very good."

I saw Yu Huaizhong sideways his hand and said to him: "It's not convenient to talk here, please come with me, my lord."

The two avoided people all the way, and came to the back garden of the government office, only to see a cave opened among the rockery and rocks.

Seeing Yu Huaizhong making a "please" gesture, Su Qinglang hesitated for a while, opened the hem of his clothes, bent down and walked in.

In the cave, there were several boxes scattered all over the place. Yu Huaizhong walked over in a dizzy manner, opened the lid of the wooden box, and smiled obsequiously: "My lord, please take a look."

Gold, silver, jewellery, and emerald ornaments are so dazzling that they fill a whole box.

Seeing this, Su Qinglang couldn't help admiring, Yizhou is indeed a good place for Wuhua Tianbao, and it is so rich when he makes a casual move.

It's just that Yu Huaizhong is just a third-rank official, and his monthly salary is only so small. If he wants to get all these things together, he doesn't know how much money he will have to collect.

He stood up straight, and heard Yu Huai say again: "My lord, these are just small thoughts from the little people. Please, my lord, please speak well in front of the Prime Minister in the future."

Looking at the things in the box, Su Qinglang narrowed his eyes with a smile, and shook his fan happily: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

He paused, and then asked another question: "It's just that I have the emperor's order and need to go to the border town. It's not convenient to carry such a few boxes."

"This……"

Before he could speak, he heard Su Qinglang say: "Otherwise, after a while, it will be Xiangye's birthday, you must also send some congratulatory gifts, why not put them together."

Yu Huaizhong groaned, and then showed a sinister smile: "Yes, the gift-giving team is about to leave the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely arrange it properly."

The two walked out of the rockery together, Yu Huaizhong took his leave first, and went down to prepare breakfast for the adults, leaving only Su Qinglang alone, wandering in the garden.

It is midsummer now, the flowers are in abundance, the vegetation is lush and green, although the boundary of Yizhou is not as good as the scenery of the Chang'an imperial city, it does not have a beautiful artistic conception.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a figure standing in a narrow corridor not far away, with a tall and straight figure, dressed in black robes, standing with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the rockery without moving.

It was Mei Liusheng who was walking with him.

When he and Yu Huaizhong walked in just now, they walked through the side door, which happened to be blocked by a rockery, so he didn't even notice that there was anyone here.

So Su Qinglang felt a little guilty, wondering if Mei Liusheng had seen what happened just now.

He walked up the corridor, stopped, and cupped his hands to Mei Liusheng, "Brother Mei..."

Mei Liusheng turned his head to look at him, and heard Su Qinglang say: "What are you looking at, brother Mei?"

Mei Liusheng smiled, and replied: "I have nothing to do, just take a look around, where is Brother Su?"

Su Qinglang walked towards him, stood about ten feet away, followed his gaze, and sure enough, from here, he could see the other side of the rockery.

He pretended to be relaxed, and replied: "Me too, these days I was only on my way, and I finally came across a decent place to look around and rest my eyes."

Mei Liusheng asked again: "The one who followed Brother Su just now seems to be that Lord Fuya."

Su Qinglang's words faltered, and he said with a cheeky smile: "Yes, this garden is quite big, I was afraid of getting lost, so I asked Master Yu to lead the way, haha..."

Mei Liusheng lowered his head, and said calmly: "There is nothing to be afraid of getting lost in the garden. What is afraid of is getting lost in the journey of life. That is the real serious consequences. Brother Su is a smart person. There are some things that you should think about clearly."

Did he really see it... Su Qinglang continued to pretend to be confused with understanding, and cupped his hands at him and said, "What brother Mei said, Qinglang must be remembered in his heart."

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Mei Liusheng gave him a sideways look, obviously in a bad mood, turned around and left the corridor.

Su Qinglang stood alone in the same place, looking at Mei Liusheng's leaving back, thinking slightly, Mr. Mei seems to have been abnormal these few days, and seems to have misunderstood him.

If it was said that he had made fun of him last time, he had already apologized, and Mei Liusheng had also expressed his understanding.

Besides, he racked his brains and couldn't figure out how he offended Mei Liusheng and made him feel so awkward. He only knew that women always have a few days every month.Could it be that their Master Mei is actually a daughter?

Thinking of Mei Liusheng's heroic face and burly figure again, Su Qinglang couldn't help but tremble, feeling very heartbroken for his own thoughts.

They wanted to leave after breakfast, but the lord of the Yamen insisted on keeping them, saying that they would hold a banquet for them to wash away the dust.

Since they left Chang'an, they have been traveling all the way, working very hard, and now they can finally relax, so Su Qinglang agreed without even thinking about it.

Looking at Su Qinglang's enthusiastic figure and Brother Lu Xun's smile that almost reached his ears, Mei Liusheng and Sun Zizhong had no choice but to let them go.

In the evening, the main hall of the government office was decorated with lights and festoons, making it very lively. Several tables were placed on both sides, with a dazzling array of dishes on display, and Su Qinglang and Yu Huaizhong sat at the top.

Several beautiful dancers, wearing bright red and iridescent long skirts with water sleeves, with a slender waist exposed in the middle, holding a pipa in their hands, playing the silk strings while dancing lightly.

Sun Zizhong's family education is very strict, and he has never even seen a few women's faces, let alone such a naked waist.

Therefore, his face was very ugly, and while he was drinking, he shifted his gaze to the other side.

Brother Lu Xun, on the other hand, although he had never had much contact with women before, his eyes were staring straight at this moment.

However, from his expression, it is obvious that Mr. Lu appreciates the dance of these beauties more than the beauties themselves.

Mei Liusheng's wine case was between Sun Zizhong and Lu Xun, and on the opposite side were several officials from Yizhou, all of whom were old enough to be fathers, and stared lewdly at those dancers.

Being in a mess and full of smog, Mei Liusheng frowned, then turned to look at Su Qinglang who was sitting in the upper seat, and saw that he was holding a wine glass, with a smile on his face, talking to the lord of the government office.

He also heard an official at the bottom raised his glass to him and said: "My lord, it's rare to come to Yizhou, why don't you stay a few more days, so that the officials can fulfill their friendship as landlords."

Su Qinglang also raised his wine glass, and said with some regret: "Yizhou has outstanding people, I would like to see more here, but unfortunately the Emperor is here, so I can only appreciate your kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately complimented him: "My lord is in a high place, and he is highly valued by the emperor. It is really hard work for you to share your worries."

Su Qinglang smiled, waved his hands and said: "The salary of the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, it should be done, why bother?"

Mei Liusheng curled his lips when he heard that, he and Mr. Yu were plotting something bad in the morning, but what he said now was nice.

Just as she was thinking, she saw one of the dancers suddenly leave the team, dancing and walking in the direction of Su Qinglang.

Mei Liusheng's expression froze, and the hand under the table involuntarily covered the dagger in his sleeve, and at the same time looked at Cheng Ying, giving him a wink.

Mr. Su has done too many bad things in his life, especially when it comes to women. If you are a philandering carrot, an enemy will jump out of nowhere. Just like last time, he intends to assassinate. At such a distance, he can't guarantee that he can stop this person. dancing girl.

Chengying immediately understood, he hesitated for a moment, but still lowered his head slightly, followed the dancer quietly, and approached Su Qinglang.

I saw the dancing girl jumping and coming to Su Qinglang's side. Su Qinglang looked up at her with a sweet smile on his lips, completely unaware that danger might be approaching.

Seeing that Mei Liusheng is very angry, romantic debts, love disaster, he should let him know how serious he is, and he is worried here, but the other party doesn't care, meddling in other people's business, why bother?

The dancer girl is dazzling, her every move is breathtaking, her bright red long sleeves fluttered in front of Su Qinglang's eyes, almost dazzled his eyes, except for Mei Liusheng and the others, those officials in Yizhou all had wretched faces, and they all looked like they were watching the show look.

Suddenly staggered, Mei Liusheng's eyes remained fixed, and he was stunned for a moment, but in an instant, the dancer fell into Su Qinglang's arms.

Su Qinglang was also stunned for a moment, feeling the warmth in his hands, looked down, quickly retracted, and pulled out a smiling face: "Girl, pay attention to your feet."

The dancer helped her forehead and said weakly: "My lord, the little girl suddenly feels unwell and is very dizzy. I wonder if my lord can help the little girl to rest in the backyard?"

Mei Liusheng frowned, and deliberately cleared his throat: "Brother Su..."

But seeing Wu Ji leaning into Su Qinglang's arms, she said affectionately: "My lord, can't you?"

Now even Sun Zizhong is not calm anymore, just about to speak, but Su Qinglang said: "Okay..."

There was a dagger on his chest, but under the cover of Wu Ji Shuixiu, others couldn't see the clue at all. He straightened his back and was careful, and the cold sweat almost came down. How can you not agree to the beauty's request?"

As he said that, he looked at Mr. Fuya and said: "Master Yu, you have also seen it. Thank you for hosting a banquet today. I have to go ahead."

Mr. Fuya had a sinister smile on his face, he didn't know what dirty things he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "My lord, whatever you want, whatever you want..."

I saw Su Qinglang stood up with some difficulty, hugged the dancer horizontally, and walked towards the door of the main hall under the gaze of everyone.
