Chapter 590: The Secret of Governor Wu's Mansion
Qi Xiaoxian pursed his lips, he hated that others touched his things without his consent, at this time, he sent people under the fence, and his body was not very good, and he knew in his heart that this prefect was also for his own good, so it was not easy to attack, so he had to respond gently.
When the prefect saw that Qi Xiaoxian agreed, he beckoned to the door.
As soon as the food was dry, the little maid with washing utensils rushed in, and she had to wait for Qi Xiaoxian to wash and eat.
Qi Xiaoxian is not used to being served by so many people, he has always been alone. He coughed lightly and glanced at the prefect lightly.
The prefect understood, so he asked the maids to put down the food utensils in their hands and retreat.
A few little maids saw Qi Xiaoxian's extremely handsome appearance, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they peeked at it. I thought I could serve such a handsome and beautiful young man, but I didn't want to be dismissed, and my movements were a little slow for a while, and I wanted to take a second look.
A tentative flash flashed in the prefect's eyes, and an inexplicable smile rose to the corner of his mouth, and then quickly dispersed.
He has been an official for many years, how could he not know what Qi Xiaoxian was thinking in the heart of a young man? It's just that this time he saw the wrong person but didn't know it, and he didn't realize the coming bloody storm at all.
Qi Xiaoxian finished eating by himself, and then got up and went to the yard to do activities.
He pushed open the door, and a bright daylight poured down vividly, Qi Xiaoxian closed his eyes, feeling warm and comfortable.
He has been in Fenzhou for more than half a month, but he has never seen such good weather.
The prefect had already left, and at this moment, there were only a few servants and three or two caretakers left in this courtyard, and Qi Xiaoxian felt very relaxed.
He opened his eyes, glanced around quickly, and strolled leisurely towards a small gazebo not far away.
The pavilion was built at the tuyere, and at this time the cool breeze was blowing, Qi Xiaoxian felt slightly cold, so he got off the pavilion and walked aimlessly around, and a bamboo forest not far away came into view, and Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
At that time, in Qi Mansion, just because Ruan Di liked it, he also ordered someone to tidy up the vacant land and plant bamboo in Ruan Di's yard.
Later, he was angry with Ruan Di because of the matter of Tianxianglou, he would not be soft at that time, and he didn't know how to coax Ruan Di, Ruan Di was disappointed in him, so he asked people to cut down the bamboo, and later after reconciliation, Qi Xiaoxian quietly ordered someone to plant the bamboo again.
That clump of bamboo, it should be verdant now!
Qi Xiaoxian thought about it and slowly walked towards the bamboo, wanting to take a good look at it.
An uneasiness broke into his heart, and he was a little puzzled, not knowing where this uneasiness came from and why. But you can't get rid of it.
Qi Xiaoxian was finally disturbed by this intuition, he restrained his desire to relax, strode into the house, looking for his long sword, and was about to go to the city gate to have a look.
After looking for a long time, but there was no trace of the sword he was wearing, Qi Xiaoxian was very annoyed, and said loudly: "Someone! ”
Several maids and maids-in-law Ulala ran in, all looking at Qi Xiaoxian eagerly, not knowing what they were expecting.
Qi Xiaoxian didn't bother to look at them, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "But someone saw my long sword?" ”
The mother-in-law and maids looked at each other and said they didn't see it.
Qi Xiaoxian was furious, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he felt that he had nothing to do with these subordinates and couldn't be angry with them, so he immediately waved his hand coldly and let them out.
The maids still wanted to peek at Qi Xiaoxian, but when they saw a gloomy face and red eyes, where was the usual beautiful and handsome appearance, they were immediately shocked and hurriedly retreated.
I sat down on the couch and sulked.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to go back to his old residence in Fenzhou Mansion to find it, so he asked people to prepare horses and go up to the prefect's mansion.
Fuchu at this time.
The prefect lay crookedly in the Taishi's chair, staring blankly.
"You three, let's go! The old man has been sent to the dense forest outside the city, and it has been marked, so that you can see it at a glance. Your boss Shen Tao will be waiting for you there, and I have already taken care of the guards at the city gate, so I won't stop you. ”
The three people in the mouth of the prefect are naturally the gang of thieves who stained Chang'an with blood a month ago.
In the past few years, they have almost disappeared, and the court has been tracking them for a long time, but they have not been able to get the slightest news of them.
But they created such an unspeakable evil deed a month ago, and the imperial court sent Qi Xiaoxian to investigate, all the way from Chang'an to Fenzhou, but they didn't want them to collude with the Fenzhou prefect and act in embarrassment!
The two people in the hall glanced at each other, and one of them spoke: "The commander of the Qing Officials Division is not at the city gate?" ”
The prefect sneered and said: "There is only one commander of the Qing Bureau, the three of you are afraid of being like this, why are you not afraid of committing a rebellion at that time, when you kill Qi Guangbo?" ”
The two of them showed shame on their faces, but their eyes were full of unwillingness, and they roared loudly: "It was back then, and now the situation is different, so it's naturally better to be careful!" ”
The prefect closed his eyes and waved his hand, as if he didn't want to argue with the two of them. urged: "Hurry up!" After this village, there will be no such shop! Then Qi Xiaoxian won't go to the city gate to check today, but I can't say for sure tomorrow. ”
The two gritted their teeth, thanked the prefect, and raised their legs to go out. But when he heard the sound of slightly flustered footsteps outside the house, he immediately stopped and retreated behind the screen.
A man who looked like a servant pushed the door in, panting slightly: "Lord Hui, the Qing Officials have led him back!" At this moment, he has dismounted at the gate of the mansion and is about to come this way! ”
The prefect was slightly surprised, but he didn't know what Qi Xiaoxian was doing in the mansion at this time, and when he hurriedly wanted to go back and arrange the two of them, he saw that the two had already hidden, so he relaxed slightly.
Governor Wu pricked up his ears and listened carefully outside the window, only to hear a slight footstep from far to near, and from near to far, it seemed to be heading towards the guest room, and immediately identified it as Qi Xiaoxian.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if not now, when?
After hearing the footsteps far away, the prefect hurriedly waved to the two behind the screen, signaling the two to leave from the front door and go to the dense forest west of the city to meet Shen Tao.
The two had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Governor Wu's mansion beckoning, they immediately rushed out, opened the door and walked out of the mansion.
The prefect of Wu Fu slumped on the Taishi's chair again, planning in his heart how to send away the leader of the Qing Officials Division who hated to get in the way, so as to take the three thieves back to the mansion.
Those people have been hiding under the prefect of Fenzhou for 18 years. At that time, he had just entered the court as an official, and he did not have a satisfactory henchman at hand, so it was quite inconvenient to act.
