Xue Baokun listened to his daughter's words, finally came to his senses, and said ruthlessly: "Okay, let's go! You clean up, only bring valuable things, don't make a noise!"

Xue Lian nodded, turned around and went back to the room to clean up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info looked at the room full of things, and he was reluctant to do the same, but he couldn't take anything with him. Tears flowed down like beads with broken threads, and I secretly regretted in my heart, if I didn't listen to the words of King Ning and let my father use military rations to persecute the Qi family, perhaps, I wouldn't have ended up like today.

Thinking of the man who kept saying that he wanted to marry him as the princess of the world, Xue Lian's heart was like a knife, and she thought that if the Qi family agreed, she could marry Brother Mo Qian, and she would be the wife of the city lord in the future. If it doesn't work, the prince of Ning Wang also promised her the position of princess, no matter how it is calculated, it is a chance to win.

However, how did things suddenly turn out like this?

When Xue Lian came back from the City Lord's Mansion, the first thing she did was to go to find Zhou Tianxing, but the guards said that King Ning had gone out early in the morning. Xue Lian thought that he had gone out to find a way, but he sent guards to search the whole city, but he didn't find it. He is afraid of being recognized, so he rarely goes out, and even if he goes out, the few places he goes to are all the Xue family's own property. I can't find anywhere now, there is only one possibility, and that is to get out of the city.

When Xue Baokun and Xue Lian's carriage went out through the back door, even the old housekeeper and the large group of little wives at home did not dare to alarm. I just hope that I can get out of the city smoothly, and I can't be discovered by the people, let alone the people of the Qi family.

General Zheng Gangzheng, who guarded the city gate, had received the favor of Old Lady Xue, so as long as he was careful, Xue Lian thought, there should be no problem going out of the city.

It was noon, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets. All the way to the city gate was very smooth, picking up the curtain, only to see that it was Zheng Gang who was guarding the door for routine inspection, and Xue Lian was secretly happy in her heart.

The carriage stopped at the city gate, and Zheng Gang's low voice came from outside: "Is it Master Xue and Miss Xue?"

Xue Baokun looked at Xue Lian and didn't make a sound. Her daughter has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, and even more than half of the men in Bicheng are obsessed with her, and she will come forward to negotiate, of course, the success rate is higher.

Xue Lian's soft and delicate voice replied, "It's me, Brother Zheng." ”

Zheng Gang's voice was full of worry and pity: "Miss Xue, where are you going? Are you alone?"

Xue Lian forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zheng, you also know that our Xue family is in trouble now and is in urgent need of silver. My father and I are in a hurry to go out of the city to borrow silver, as long as we get through this difficulty, Brother Zheng, Lian'er will definitely repay you......"

The voice was getting lower and lower, but Zheng Gang outside the car could hear it very clearly, and Zhou Chengkuan, who was beside him, also heard it clearly.

Zhou Chengkuan's voice was still gentle, and he couldn't hear any emotion, and said slowly: "Master Xue, Miss Xue, for the sake of Old Lady Xue, I can let you out of the city." But the silver ticket and the deed must be kept, otherwise, we will not be able to give an account to the people of the city. ”

When Xue Baokun and Xue Lian heard Zhou Chengkuan's voice, their hearts suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and there was no hope at all.

Xue Lian cried and sobbed: "Brother Chengkuan, Lian'er lost her mother at a young age, and she has no brothers and sisters, we can be regarded as growing up together, Lian'er is like a brother, how can you bear to watch me and my father penniless and displaced?"

Zhou Chengkuan thought about it, as if his heart had softened a little, sighed lightly, and said, "Okay, I'll leave you some more coils." ”

Xue Lian was so angry that she trembled all over, and she was helpless. She knew that Zhou Chengkuan looked at the most gentle temperament, but in fact his heart was the most ruthless, and if he wanted to get out of the city today, he had to give up all this money.

Zhou Chengkuan saw that there was no movement in the carriage for a long time, and nodded to the guards beside him.

Several guards bowed down to receive the order, lifted the curtain, lifted several small boxes on the car, brought them to Zhou Chengkuan, and opened them for him to see.

Zhou Chengkuan looked at the box full of silver tickets, and said coldly: "Did you take it out yourself, or did I let them search their bodies?"

Xue Lian looked at Xue Baokun, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "Father, give it, give it to them." ”

Xue Baokun also knew that now he wanted to stay, but he couldn't keep it, so he took out a thick stack of house deeds and a few large silver tickets from his arms, and his hands kept shaking.

The guard unceremoniously snatched the deed and silver ticket from him and placed them in one of the boxes.

Zhou Chengkuan took out a money bag from his arms, threw it into the carriage, and said, "Save a little, this money is enough for you to live for half a year." As he spoke, he turned to Zheng Gang and said, "Let them out." ”

The carriage continued on and slowly exited the city gates. Xue Baokun in the carriage was stunned, unable to accept this reality for a while. And Xue Lian has already begun to think about it, next, how can she rely on a few silver tickets in her arms to regain the glory and wealth she once had? She is unwilling, she does not give up, she Xue Lian, does not accept fate!

However, in Lianbi City, it is not over yet.

There was no silver in the treasure bank, and hundreds of people rushed to Xue's mansion together, but before they reached the door, they heard the people in front of them shouting, Master Xue took Miss Xue with the silver and ran away!

In front of the Xue Mansion, some old people and women were so anxious that they were about to hit the wall, crying: "God, what can we do about this, this is all our family's savings!

While he was crying, a loud voice shouted, "The city lord has arrived!"

The people gave way one after another, knelt on the side of the road, and cried loudly: "Lord of the city, please save us, how can we live without this silver!"

Qi Rubao was riding on a horse, wearing an official robe and an official hat, and his face was majestic, which made people feel afraid. And at this moment, it made the people suddenly feel relieved.

Zhou Chengkuan also rode a horse and followed behind Qi Rubao.

Qi Rubao slowly spoke, and said: "Folks in Lianbi City, don't panic, as the city lord, this official will not let everyone come to bear this loss in vain, although Xue Baokun has run away, his house and shop are still there, the silver he owes you, when we settle it, we will return it to everyone, please rest assured!"

When the people heard such good news, they hurriedly kowtowed to Qi Rubao and shouted: "The city lord is wise, the city lord is merciful, and the city lord is our reborn parents!"

Qi Rubao smiled and nodded, accepted the praise of the people with satisfaction, paused, and said: "This is Lord Zhou, from now on, he is fully responsible for this matter." You can rest assured, Master Zhou is the person I trust the most, please believe in him too, and there will be a satisfactory result in this matter. Folks, please get up!" )
