You sell swords, I go crazy, I am a father in Shengjing

In another mansion in Qingzhou City, a young girl in a picturesque white dress danced with a round fan in her hand, like a white lotus that accidentally fell into the mortal world.

Her fragile and graceful demeanor is enough to make many men humble themselves to her and be willing to serve her.

"Thank you, Miss, calm down. We didn't know that the three daughters of the Su family were so vicious that they had planted such difficult-to-deal-with secret guards in the courtyard. If not, we would have been able to get the fragrance dew recipe from them this time."

The woman below lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive. While speaking, she would glance at the girl from time to time, with a strange light in her eyes.

And she is none other than Yunxiang, who has now brought her son Su Hua to Su Quan and used words to seduce the other party.

At this moment, Yunxiang's son Su Hua was also kneeling behind Yunxiang, stealing glances at the girl in white sitting on the upper seat.

If Su Jing in the past was the pearl that he longed for but could not get, then the girl in front of him was the flower in the mirror and the moon in the lake. He could not help but tear up just by looking at her.

So beautiful……

I never thought there would be such a beauty in this world...

He had long heard from his sister who was going to marry into the man's family and become the man's brother's concubine that the man and his sister were both extremely beautiful...

Unexpected, unexpected...

Su Hua had countless dark thoughts in his mind, but the girl above sneered and said to Yun Xiang who was humbly trying to please him:
"Forget it. You are the ones who provided the keys and inherited the Su family's property. The other party can kick you out of the house. It's right not to tell you these backup plans."

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Xie Wanyin's brows also showed some annoyance.

Although her father had taken over most of the Xie family's assets recently, these assets were not the bulk of the Xie family's wealth, so much so that the eldest branch of the family had to pay money out of their own pocket to support the family.

That’s right, the Xie family’s business is huge and complex, filled with rules and etiquette, support for branch families, and the cultivation of external networks and influence.

Which of these things doesn't cost money?
If the eldest wife inherits the Duke's Mansion naturally, she will naturally be able to cut out unnecessary expenses and reduce a large part of the money used to support the side branches.

But now, Mr. Xie is in a coma, the third branch of the Xie family is in a state of decline, and the Duke's Mansion has been divided into two factions: the first branch and Feng Xi.

At this critical moment when Xie Fu and other old man's confidants openly support Feng Xi, how could their first branch dare to touch the interests of those side branches?

Even though Feng Xi was about to fall and their eldest wife seemed to have won, her father said that as long as the matter had not been settled, they must not take it lightly.

Now, under the strict defense of Xie Fu's group, their eldest wife has already invested a large sum of money in other industries of the Xie family, and in addition, her father has been arranging things everywhere in order to accumulate connections in the court these days...

In a nutshell, the eldest branch of the Xie family is not lacking in power, but there are signs that they are short of money.

Originally, Chen's Xianglu was growing well and was considered a good money bag for their eldest wife, but it was ruined by the new Xianglu and turned into what it is now...

Damn it, it’s all the fault of that bitch Feng Xi and Xie Fu who wholeheartedly supported each other.

Just wait, after she resolves the Qingzhou issue, she will definitely return to Beijing to see the other party make a fool of themselves.

Of course, the most important thing right now is not to go back and watch the joke, but to get the Su family's secret recipe, or even directly conquer the Su family and use it for the Xie family's eldest branch.

"Thank you for your consideration, Miss. Thank you for your consideration, Hua'er, why are you still standing there? Why don't you kowtow to Miss Xie?"

While Xie Wanyin was thinking about the past, Yunxiang had already thanked her with a smile. Not only was she very sincere, but Su Hua behind her was also the same.

Anyway, they have already got such a big supporter now. As long as they can do things according to the other party's arrangements, why should they worry about having no future?

However, just when Xie Wanyin was looking at her with disdain and wanted to send the mother and daughter away, Ranxiang, one of her personal maids, hurried in.

"Oh no, young lady! Three members of the Su family have come to the government office to cause trouble, demanding that the prefect severely investigate the thief who broke into their home that night!"

"what!"

There was a hustle and bustle in front of the Qingzhou government office, with a crowd of common people gathered there, all of them with a smile on their faces as if they were there to watch the fun.

"The three Su family members are really brave! They are kneeling in front of the government office like this? Aren't they threatening the prefect?"

"That's right! When the officer at the door saw them kneeling, he immediately rushed in to look for someone. But I heard that Prefect Feng is not in the government office right now. It seems that he went to Xiangyue Tower..."

"What on earth are they doing? Didn't the government arrest those thieves? Why did the Su family have to make such a fuss? Their family has just gotten better!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what do you know! I heard from my wife that those thieves have someone above them, and the prefect is protecting them..."

……

In the center of the crowd, the pale-faced old lady Su, with her daughter and granddaughter, knelt openly at the gate of the government office.

Several officers nearby came to question them but they didn't say a word. They just stood there straight, looking as if no one knew where to start.

The reason why they did this was thanks to Feng Xi, who listened to their complaints and immediately gave them advice.

"The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the tough ones, and the tough ones are afraid of the desperate ones! If you are tough, just go to the gate of their government office and confront them. If they don't even give you face, what's wrong with you overturning their desks?"

I have to say, although their female boss's words are crazy, there is some truth in them.

Since Magistrate Feng regarded the lives of the three of them as trivial matters, why should they give him face?

And their trick was really effective. Before Magistrate Feng returned, all kinds of rumors were already flying in front of the government office.

Finally, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the government office. Prefect Feng was dressed in casual clothes, with a blush on his face from drinking and having fun, and he smiled and said:

"What is this for! Ah! Madam Su, you are already old, and such a big gift would make it difficult for my small government office to handle it! We can talk it out, everything is easy to talk about!"

As he spoke, he walked up to Old Madam Su and raised his hand to help her up from the ground.

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. His attitude immediately quieted down the discussions around him.

However, it was easy to deal with others, but Old Madam Su was not going to buy his story at all. She immediately stepped back and said:
"Master Feng, what are you talking about? I am just an ordinary citizen. My family of three can't even punish the thief who almost took our lives. Isn't this the only way I can ask for help from you, Master Feng?"

"Madam, your words are too polite..."

The smile on Prefect Feng's face froze for a moment. He was also a seasoned official, so how could he not hear that Old Madam Su was sarcastically scolding him for not punishing the thieves who sneaked into the Su family's home at night?

But doesn't he want to deal with those people?
Someone warned him to let the matter go and not cause panic among the people.

It stands to reason that the Su family had a rough road in the past few years, and it was only recently that things started to improve.

And how did they make a comeback?

Of course it is the mysterious perfume.

It is said that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Shouldn't they keep a low profile at times like this?
"I have a close relationship with Lord Feng, otherwise I wouldn't have brought my daughter and granddaughter here. I hope you can show some mercy and give me justice, right?"

The boss had not shown up for a long time, so the three of them were inevitably nervous.

But now that she knew that the two were watching her from behind, Madam Su naturally straightened her back.

Under her aggressive pressure, the smile on Prefect Feng's face could no longer be maintained.

He had gone out for some drinking and fun today, and just when he had already approached the beauty, he was hurriedly called back by his men.

Seeing that the Su family has been in the limelight recently, many people are willing to flatter them for Xianglu's sake, so he suppressed his anger and planned to talk to them properly.

Unexpectedly, the old woman not only did not appreciate it, but also embarrassed him in front of so many people.

They all say that this county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, and even a strong dragon can hardly suppress a local snake!

The Su family must not put the cart before the horse!
Thinking of this, Feng Zhifu, who was already drunk, suddenly darkened his face and said:
"I see that you are not young anymore and the Su family is headed by women, so I respectfully address you as old lady and want to talk to you in a proper way. But the three of you actually ran to the gate of the government office and made a scene. Have you lost your respect for the law?"

If this happened in the future, Prefect Feng would definitely be criticized for his words, saying that he was using his power to his advantage!

But in this era when this local official is so powerful that he can cover the sky with one hand and merchants from all walks of life must show respect to him, no one would think that there is anything wrong with what Governor Feng said. Instead, they would think that Madam Su and others are looking for death because they are too depressed.

Before Madam Su and the other two could speak again, Prefect Feng sneered:
"What are you all standing there for? Since the three of them want to cause trouble in front of the government office, I will arrest them and bring them in to cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang and others, who had clashed with the three members of the Su family and had received many benefits from the Chen family, immediately stood up.

Feng Xi also taught the three people how to deal with this situation:
"If they come to arrest you without moral principles, you should kowtow until you bleed, and while you kowtow you should tell them your grievances. In short, no matter how miserable you make them do, as long as you are crazy enough, he, the prefect, will not dare to do anything reckless in the street!"

Unexpectedly, just as the three of them were about to use this trick, a female voice came from behind the crowd.

"Wait!"

The moment the words were spoken, Feng Xi, who was standing in the dark in disguise, immediately raised his head.

"Hey, what a coincidence!"

Seeing her rubbing her hands excitedly, Qi Xiao, who was holding the crispy cakes and candied haws for her, immediately shook his head helplessly.

Because the owner of this voice was none other than Xie Wanyin, whom both he and Feng Xi were very familiar with.

The first female protagonist who, according to Feng Xi, should have been his perfect match.

Qi Xiao raised his phoenix eyes slightly and saw the beautiful figure walk into the crowd and stand in front of the three people from the Su family amidst everyone's astonished gazes, but there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

To put it bluntly, in his eyes, Xie Wanyin, who was like a fairy in the eyes of others, was not as good as a finger of a crazy phoenix.

He's also crazy.

Brought by her.

"Hey, please, stop looking at me with those eyes that you would give to a dog. The snacks in my hand don't taste good anymore..."

Qi Xiao: "..."

Very good, there is no such thing as charming. It has never been here in a certain Crazy Phoenix.

"Master Feng, what are you doing? Have these three done anything wrong?"

As soon as Xie Wanyin, the other half, stood in front of the three people from the Su family, he reached out and took a box from Ranxiang beside him, and handed it to Magistrate Feng with a smile.

"My father has been working in the South for a few years, and many of our family members have also taken root here. So, I came to the South to visit a friend on behalf of my father. I passed by Qingzhou on my way and came to give him a small gift to show my gratitude to him as a colleague in the past."

The girl had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her voice was filled with a faint smile. How many men had lost their minds before because of her gentle words, let alone the magistrate Feng who was always indulging in alcohol and sex?
"I heard that my niece was coming, but I, as her uncle, didn't take the initiative to host her. You are so stupid! Why didn't you send someone to tell me in advance so that I could prepare?"

Prefect Feng's words seemed to be self-blaming, but they were accompanied by a thick smile, and all the anger he had just felt because of Madam Su's stubbornness dissipated.

A beautiful woman is enough to please him, and if the family of the beauty's father or brother is extremely noble, then he must leave a good impression on them.

"Master Feng, what are you talking about? As a junior, Wan Yin should come to visit first."

Xie Wanyin exchanged a few polite words before turning his gaze towards Madam Su and the other two once again.

"She is indeed a fairy character. Even if she asks a dog on the street who is in a bad mood, it won't make people feel that she is being deliberate or abrupt."

Feng Xi in the crowd looked at Xie Wanyin lowering her head, and gently and carefully asked what difficulties the three members of the Su family had and whether there was anything she could do to help them. She couldn't help but sigh like this.

Who knew that Qi Xiao on the side said venomously:

"Xie Wanyin may seem gentle, kind, and harmless, but in fact, she never interferes with other people's affairs unless it is beneficial to her."

"Really?" Feng Xi tilted her head, not seeming to care much.

When Qi Xiao passed the candied haws to her mouth, she even cooperated by opening her mouth and taking a sip, then winked at him and said:

"This candied haws is of high quality and quantity. Would you like to try one?"

"Me?"

Seeing Qi Xiao looking at her in surprise, his eyes darkened, Feng Xi finally said in confusion:
"What else? Who else is there besides you? A ghost?"

Qi Xiao laughed. Indeed, there would not be anyone else around her except him.

So he really brought the candied haws to his mouth and took the top one directly off.

He didn't like sweets, but at this moment he felt that the candied haws in his mouth were particularly delicious.

The sweetness comes not from the mouth, but from the increasingly greedy heart.

"I see. How dare these thieves cause chaos in a blessed place like Qingzhou? Lord Feng, you should really punish them severely."

Xie Wanyin on this side also listened to the narration of the three members of the Su family. With the support of the onlookers around, he immediately showed an expression filled with righteous indignation.

It was obvious that she wanted to seek justice for the three members of the Su family.

"My niece, you don't know that I was busy with many things in my house and didn't have time to deal with those criminals immediately. Madam Su and the other two were too anxious."

Seeing Xie Wanyin speaking for the three members of the Su family, Prefect Feng seemed to understand something and immediately began to complain.

As the onlookers watched his expression change, they began to feel a little more favorable towards Miss Xie Wanyin.

Look, these corrupt officials only dare to put on airs in front of them. Won’t they just become weak when they meet someone more powerful?
"Forget it. Since you, Wan Yin, have said so, let's try this matter today in front of the three members of the Su family and all the common people. Come, go to the court!"

Following a mighty roar, Prefect Feng, wearing his official robe, was already sitting in the hall.

The three members of the Su family stood in the hall as the victims, while Xie Wanyin had a seat in the hall because of his special status, and there were cakes and tea on the table.

However, since she came to seek justice for the Su family, no one thought there was anything wrong with her being treated like this.

"Summon the five thieves to the court!"

After the three members of the Su family explained their grievances according to the procedure, the five thieves who sneaked into the Su family were finally brought up.

Feng Xi took a quick glance and saw that all five of them were ordinary looking people, around 20 years old, and their skills were at best ordinary people who could speak a few words.

Originally everyone thought that there would be no difficulty in interrogating them, but in fact, Governor Feng only used a little torture, and the five people confessed to breaking into the Su family at night.

"To answer your question, we were tempted by the money and thought that the Su family must have a large amount of money, so we..."

The leading thief was in tears and seemed to be very regretful for what he had done.

But now that things have come to this, he seems to know that he can't escape.

And he confessed everything, let alone the four minions following him.

"Considering that you only stole from the Su family and did not cause any casualties to the three members of the Su family, I will sentence you to be exiled three thousand miles away with tattoos on your names today."

At the moment, Prefect Feng no longer had the casual attitude he had when facing the three members of the Su family at the beginning. He acted like an upright magistrate who was determined to seek justice for all the people.

Da Zhao's punishment for robbery and theft has always been based on the harm caused by the criminals. No one in the Su family lost a penny, and Mrs. Su's fall was partly due to being frightened.

Therefore, sentencing these five people to tattoos on their faces and immediate exile three thousand miles away was already a severe punishment.

After all, being exiled from the wealthy Qingzhou to a smoky and miasmatic place three thousand miles away to do work, and even having tattoos on your face, your life is almost over.

Even though Old Madam Su and the other two said that these five people had murderous intentions towards them and were going for their lives, they were still standing there.

Therefore, if this verdict still cannot satisfy them, the onlookers will think that they are causing too much trouble.

Even so, Madam Su still raised questions to the five people:

"I don't know how you managed to get into my house? Did someone give you the key?"

Unexpectedly, the five people seemed to have known that she would ask this question, and they quickly gave a reasonable explanation that the onlookers felt was not a problem.

They said that one of the five of them knew how to pick the lock, and they relied on the other person to pick the lock to get in.

It wasn't that Madam Su didn't want the thief who claimed he could open the lock to go back with her to verify it, but most people present obviously believed what he said.

After all, regardless of whether this person can open the lock or not, they are definitely thieves, and those who should be punished have been sentenced. Continuing to pursue the case will only be a waste of time and money.

Old Madam Su had no choice but to accept it.

However, the young lady from the Xie family was very kind. Seeing that the old woman was injured, she specially ordered her maid to bring a box of ointment, and made an appointment with Su Jing to come to the shop to pick incense tomorrow.

Naturally, the three members of the Su family would not refuse such a good relationship, so they accepted the ointment reluctantly.

Seeing that the three people from the Su family were so knowledgeable and interesting, Xie Wanyin also smiled with satisfaction.

But what she didn't know was that Feng Xi and Qi Xiao had followed her and returned with her to the house where she was temporarily staying.

"Send some money to the families of those five people, and tell them to keep this matter to themselves. Also, send someone to Yunxiang to warn them to keep a low profile recently and not to cause me any more unnecessary trouble."

After returning home, Xie Wanyin leaned back on the couch, playing with the scented dew that he had asked someone to buy from the Su family.

She didn't expect that the Su family was so difficult to deal with that they openly made trouble in front of the Qingzhou government office because of this matter.

"Our young lady is really smart. She was able to use the trick to get in touch with the Su family. Maybe when you have a good relationship with the Su family, we won't have to use Su Quan anymore."

Doukou, the maid beside Xie Wanyin, fanned her and praised her with a smile.

No one doesn't like to hear compliments, so after hearing that, Xie Wanyin felt less tired.

"Miss, since we want to make friends with the three members of the Su family, why don't we go a step further and let those people directly betray Su Quan's family? Didn't you also say that the Su family is scheming and has always been suspicious of their family?"

Ranxiang brought a plate of cakes to Xie Wanyin and couldn't help but ask for advice in a low voice.

"What do you know? If we help the three members of the Su family deal with Su Quan's family, they might be grateful, but they won't necessarily be attached to us. They are cunning and can never be as easy to control as Su Quan's family."

Xie Wanyin closed his eyes.

After all, growing up in a large mansion, who is really the pure and flawless little white flower?
Compared to the three women of the Su family, she still felt that Su Quan and others were more reliable.

Of course, if her future plans go well, it would be good if the third daughter of the Su family is willing to listen to her.

As long as the Su family starts to rely on their eldest wife, she will have plenty of opportunities to let Su Quan's family marry into the family in the future.

After all, power always gives people the ability to have the final say.

But once you get on some ships, it's not easy to get off.

Regarding Xie Wanyin's action, Feng Xi, who was squatting on the beam, commented:

"If a woman is not ruthless, her position is unstable. The first wife the author arranged for you is so cool, Qi Xiao."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and said almost without hesitation:
"But what if I just like crazy?"

Feng Xi: "..."

She was almost tired of saying "Are you sick?"

Forget it, she was used to hearing Qi Xiao say this.

Since they already knew that the Su family affair was set up by Xie Wanyin, and the letter Xie Fu sent to the palace a few days ago also showed that the Xie family's eldest branch was indeed a little short of money, it was impossible for Qi Xiao and Feng Xi not to take action.

They are the best at finding trouble.

The next morning, the five thieves were escorted out of Qingzhou City by the officials.

Since they and the officers escorting them had been taken care of, the group traveled in exceptional harmony throughout the journey, and even chatted with each other after leaving the city.

"Sir, please let me go pee. I have to pee urgently."

On the dirt road in the forest, one of the five thieves approached the officer with a grin on his face and said flattering words.

"Go away, all you do is talk shit and piss! If anyone else wants to go with him, hurry up, or we won't let you go!"

The leading officer laughed and cursed a few words, and two of the other four prisoners stood up and said they wanted to follow.

So the three of them walked into the woods together, while the others sat there to rest.

"Do you know who the beauty who appeared in our government office yesterday was, brother? We have lived for so many years, but we have never seen anyone with such a striking appearance!"

"Exactly, that face, I wonder who will be so lucky in the future!"

The chief of the police smiled when he heard this. He was none other than Captain Wang, who was the best at extorting money.

"You don't know this, right? That beauty's surname is Xie. Yes, the Xie from the Ningguo Mansion!"

"The Duke's Mansion!"

Several officers exclaimed.

"Isn't it? The late queen was from the Xie family, and her father was one of the six ministers. Our masters have to bow and scrape when they see her!"

Captain Wang, who thought he was a bad person, talked a lot, and the police officers beside him listened with great interest.

But even after Captain Wang told everything he knew, the three guys who went into the woods to urinate had not come out yet.

"What's wrong with the three of them? Why? They rebelled when we showed them a little kindness?"

Captain Wang's face turned cold, and he pointed at the two officers and said:

"Go, the two of you go and have a look. When the three of them come back, they have to pee in my pants even if they have to!"

However, after he scolded them, not only did the three prisoners not come back, but the two officers who went to the woods to look for people did not come back either.

Captain Wang frowned. He was ordered to escort the prisoner. If anything happened along the way, he would be the most responsible, so he had to go and take a look no matter what.

But the disappearance of these people made him feel uneasy, and finally he could only take the remaining officers and prisoners to check it out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the forest, a strong wind blew on the back of their necks.

When Captain Wang looked at the newcomer and wanted to shout out the other person's identity in surprise, saying that the other person was the one who caused trouble on the street that day, Qi Xiao knocked him out with a knife.

"Detain these officials and prisoners separately. As for how to interrogate them, let them report to the government office on their own initiative after today. I don't need to teach you, right?"

Qi Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the secret guards, his tone was indescribably amused. (End of this chapter)
