incense as a medium

Chapter 49 in full swing
Kang Yibang's eyes flickered, and he said casually: "These things are very common in big families, and it's not surprising that the Liu family can be preserved."

"Then there are some Ru Kiln and Ge Kiln porcelains." Ying Mo said with infinite envy: "There are also filigree jewellery, the inlaid gemstones are even more precious than my mother's treasured jewellery, and the silver at the bottom of the box is 2000 taels , it seems that there are still a few paintings, one of which is a painting by Mr. Zhang from the previous dynasty."

As the daughter of a businessman, Ying Mo still has some discernment, but she doesn't know much about those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. This painting of everyone is only because her father mentioned it so many times that she only remembered such a person.

"Oh?" Kang Yibang's expression was moved, and his mind was spinning rapidly at the same time. After a while, he laughed sinisterly.

Ying Mo, who was frightened by his inexplicable smile, just now remembered who the person in front of him was, saluted hurriedly and ran away.

Lihua Lane, Liu's House.

Liu Bailu stood in front of the closed door and stared blankly at the figure struggling outside the door.

It's been a whole day.

Although it was autumn in August, the weather was scorching hot. Zhou Weiqing was standing on the steps of Chaoshou verandah, and the scorching sun was scorching his whole body.

Watching the sunlight gradually disappearing under the eaves, Liu Bailu sighed: "Why do you do this?"

Zhou Wei's green eyes were reluctant to blink as he looked at the closed door, as if he could see his sweetheart inside through the thick door panel: "It's not what I want to get married, and it's not what I want to get married now. "

Liu Bailu frowned and said: "Now that you are married, I am also engaged. If you are for my own good, then you should stop seeing each other."

No more contact!
The four light words hit Zhou Weiqing's heart like drums and thunder, his face turned pale, and his body shook: "You hate me so much?"

A long sigh came from inside the door, which made Zhou Weiqing's heart tighten. He took two steps back, swayed his body, and almost fell to the ground: "I understand, I understand, I will not disturb your life in the future If you... If you need any help, just go to the capital and find me."

With a sad face, Zhou Weiqing took out a jade pendant from his body, took two steps forward and put it on the railing of Chaoshou veranda, then turned and left silently.

The door of the East Wing was not opened until before dinner, Liu Bailu looked at the round jade pendant, frowned slightly, and then put away the jade pendant.

Liu Bailu was engaged, and the marriage of Liu Zifeng and Liu Zimo, who was three years younger than her, was also put on the agenda, but because the two were still young, they were not in a hurry, but it was Bai who began to look for his son. Hello, my daughter, I look forward to settling down for my son as soon as possible.

The days passed day by day like this, Liu Bailu was very leisurely every day, but Qi Peiyun was very busy.

He hasn't seen Liu Bailu for almost three months. Since the last time he sat with Liu Su's future mother-in-law at Liu's house for a long time, Qi Peiyun never dared to step into the gate of Liu's house. Now, the only way to meet her is when she is delivering food to Liu Junge.

But now he is very busy. The three major forces in Luhuang County, the Zheng family, the Zeng family, and the Lu family broke the peace in the past and set off a bloody storm in the small Luhuang county.

Qi Peiyun originally wanted to watch the fire from the other side, but later found that it was not beneficial to him, so he also participated in this turmoil.

As soon as it gets dark every day, when the forces of all parties are surging, Qi Peiyun did not occupy a certain place as a base, but led a group of elites to fight guerrilla warfare. This was also Liu Bailu's idea.

As far as men are concerned, Qi Peiyun is still more inclined to fight steadily and openly, while Liu Bailu's method is more than light and agile, not enough defensive, which is directly related to her temperament.

She was thinking, anyway, Qi Peiyun's purpose is to destroy, and they don't want the power of Luhuang County, so there is no need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on occupying the land, or just use harassment as an excuse Lord, take advantage of the loopholes of the three forces to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Qi Peiyun and Zhang Ting discussed it for a long time before deciding to use this method. It has really benefited a lot in the past two months.

First of all, there were a lot of casualties among the three forces, but none of the hundred elites led by Qi Peiyun were killed in battle, only a few people were slightly injured.Secondly, because there are few people, the money spent is not much, which is the most important point for them.

In the end, it was the three parties who turned a blind eye to them.

Because they are too small to pose a threat to any of their forces, no one cares about them.

Qi Peiyun couldn't help thinking, if they entered Luhuang County with great fanfare, they would at least be blocked by Zeng Jin and the Lu family, right?

As August [-]th approached, Qi Peiyun became a little anxious: "When will the fight be over?"

"What? Are you in a hurry to see your wife?" Zhang Ting teased.

Qi Peiyun rolled his eyes at him, and said with a snort: "People without women don't understand my lovesickness."

His words caused everyone to laugh, but Wu Zeng said: "You have nothing to do here, why don't you go back."

Zhang Ting waved his fan and looked at Qi Peiyun who was hesitant, and said: "In my opinion, Auntie will definitely not tell you when to give the Liu family a boxing gift, so you'd better go back early."

That's right, Qi Peiyun just wanted to meet Liu Bailu by giving gifts. Although Liu Bailu could also meet when Liu Bailu was out to deliver meals, there were too many people outside, not to mention that the driver was Kang Yibang Some people can't say anything.

At this moment, being reminded by Zhang Ting, Qi Peiyun jumped up, her mother knew very well that she could really do this!
Qi Peiyun rushed out in a hurry, the door opened, and he bumped into someone.

Shi Ce hurriedly used his figure to float back, looked at Qi Peiyun and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Peiyun looked at Shi Ce wonderingly: "Why are you so anxious?"

"By the way! I almost forgot!" Shi Ce slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot after being hit by you like this! I got news that the three major forces will have a big conflict tonight!"

"What? Come in and talk." Qi Peiyun put the idea of ​​going home behind him, but he didn't expect that this time he would be delayed in Luhuang County for a long time, so that when he saw Liu Bailu again, the two of them We are getting married soon.

***
August [-] passed peacefully, and this calm lasted until the end of August.

The scorching sun was in full swing this day, and it was the hottest autumn in Xiongtang County in recent years.

The abnormal weather made people feel restless. Liu Bailu copied the Buddhist scriptures over and over again, but he still couldn't calm down.

Bai Shi was yelling in her room, and Liu Su Shi scolded her several times to no avail, so she had to avoid it by herself.

Liu Bailu squeezed the pen holder tightly, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw the pen into the brush washer.

"Miss, why don't you tell me about Aunt Bai?" Shuang Jiang hurriedly went to help clear the table.

Liu Bailu grabbed a book irritably and flipped through it: "She doesn't listen to what mother says, but how much can she listen to yours?"

When Shuang Jiang heard the words, he couldn't help but enviously glanced towards the main room. There were four or five aunts in Liu's family before, and Bai's life was undoubtedly the most nourishing and comfortable. She was not even afraid of the mistress!If I can achieve Bai's step...

but……

Shuang Jiang couldn't help sighing, it's useless to think about it now.

The room fell silent for a moment, only Bai's melodious voice came in occasionally.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise outside, and Liu Bailu was startled and ran to the window to look out. Could it be an enemy attack?But didn't they just beat the Tatars last year?Why at this time...

Before Liu Bailu could guess more about the situation, the golden armored guards rushing in made her stunned.

This scene is too familiar!

The golden-armored guards stood in two rows in the narrow courtyard. A man in Yunyan's official uniform came pacing, followed by twenty golden-armored guards neatly behind him.

Liu Bailu stared blankly at these people, unable to react for a while.

Shuang Jiang said, "Could it be possible to raid the house again? But why is it the Qiandu Yushi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Those golden-armored guards who ransacked the Liu family's house back then were the guards in golden armor. These golden-armored guards defended the safety of the capital, but they would also participate in the officials' ransacking of the house. Because they directly obeyed the emperor's orders, they were extremely loyal, and not many people dared to stand on the noses of these people. Manipulating under the sun, greedy ink copied things.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of supervising civil and military officials. Liu Junge is now a criminal and not an official. Why would someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate come here with golden armor guards?

Before Liu Bailu was puzzled for a long time, Yushi of Qiandu said coldly: "Where is Liujun Pavilion?"

Xiang Bo, who had just been startled by this series of people, came to his senses, and hurried forward and said, "Our master has gone to work, and he is still in the barracks. I wonder what your lord's business is here?"

"Huh? A criminal minister can still use a servant? It seems that the rumors are true!" Qiandu Yushi cast a glance at Uncle Xiang, looked around the small courtyard, and then glanced at Uncle Xiang again. He had been in and out of the Liu family before, so he knew Xiang Bo, he said coldly: "Haven't all the servants of the Liu family been sold? What's the matter with you?"

Xiang Bo bowed respectfully and replied: "In the words of your lord, this old slave is your wife's companion."

The law does not expressly stipulate that a woman's dowry should be kept when the house is ransacked, but this has become an unwritten rule that everyone tacitly accepts. Unless it is those who are treacherous and evil, no matter who is ransacked, there will be some people Let the water go and let it take away part of the money.

The imperial censor's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Recently, some officials in the court have been impeached for taking advantage of house raids to release water, accept bribes, and fill their pockets. I came here today to investigate this matter. When your Liu family was ransacked, Did someone take the opportunity to ask for property in order to release the water? Or, did someone take the property of the Liu family?"

Xiang Bo wiped his sweat, bowed and said, "Return to your lord's words, no."

"Oh?" Qiandu Yushi sneered, and said, "It's up to you to find out if there is any. Search it for me!"
