Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 18 Visiting Dugu
"Thank you for the trust of the Palace Master. The subordinates and Hongyan's brothers will swear to follow Xuanxin Palace and serve Xuanxin Palace." Han Yu said solemnly.

"Okay, today's meeting is here. I hope that everyone will work together to protect our homeland."

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

After the Qingfengzhai meeting, Xuan Haiyue returned to Tianfeng Mountain with Yanyun Yanxia and Qingmu Cangmu, while Han Yu and Feiying lived in the manor under the name of Lingzhou Xuan's family.As for Zhao Ke, after returning to Qingfengzhai yesterday, Xuan Haiyue abolished Zhao Ke's martial arts as promised. He forgot what he did, and now he only knows that he is an ordinary farmer, with only Uncle Xu as his relative, and nothing else.Xuan Haiyue gave Zhao Ke and Uncle Xu a sum of money to fend for themselves. Uncle Xu decided to take Zhao Ke to live in Rongzhou on Southwest Road, and never set foot in Zhongnan again.

Tianfengshan Orchid Garden Study Room.

The window of the study room was opened, and the fragrance of orchids floated into the study room. The sweet and sweet fragrance of orchids filled the whole room, making people feel refreshed.The warm sunlight shines into the room, making the room bright and full of vigor. The light shines on the wind chimes on the window, and the wind chimes emit colorful lights. The dream is boundless. The delicate wind chimes sway in the wind. The colorful lights follow the crisp The sound of wind chimes is faintly visible, and it is accompanied by a garden full of orchids, which is a beautiful spring.

At this moment Xuan Haiyue is still wearing a white dress with wide sleeves and robes, high and simple and elegant, like an exiled immortal.

Xuanhai Yueyu held a pen in her hand, and wrote words on the paper carefully.After finishing writing, he put the letter in an envelope and said: "Yanxia, ​​please send someone to deliver this letter and this scroll to Uncle Jingcheng immediately, and ask him to thoroughly investigate this matter and reply as soon as possible."

"Yes, this servant will do it right away." Yanxia took the letter and the scroll, and quickly walked out of the study.

Xuan Haiyue got up and walked to the window. The window of Lanxinyuan's study room happened to be able to see the scenery of Lingzhou. Looking at the vast beauty in front of her, she felt refreshed. It seemed that there would be another good show soon.

Less than half a month after Xuan Haiyue sent a letter to Xia Wenyuan, the third lord of the Xia family in Shengjing, the imperial decree came from the capital. As a result, the people were uneasy and the society was uneasy. Therefore, Lu Jin was dismissed from the post of prefect of Dongling Prefecture and exiled to the northwest, and he was not allowed to leave unless called.At the same time, the imperial court also issued an order that Tie Qingtian, known as the "Iron Judge" in Jiangnan Road, will be the prefect of Lingzhou.

As soon as this edict came out, the people in the whole Lingzhou, and even in the whole of Zhongnan cheered. This Lu Jindong is a man with a duplicity.When he first came to Lingzhou to take office, he was still an upright official. He knew how to benefit the people and did some things to benefit the people. Unexpectedly, within a few years, this Mr. Lu would become more and more decadent and greedy.He secretly accepted bribes from local tyrants several times, condoned the local tyrants to expropriate farmers' farmland, and secretly raised farmers' taxes. Every time the court levied taxes, he lied about the tax amount.

Not only that, he secretly protected local tyrants, arbitrarily judged unjust cases, and caused some innocent people to suffer wronged. In just ten years as Lingzhou prefect, he wrongly judged 34 cases, and the number of wronged people was as high as 510.I don't know what caused a good and honest official to become a corrupt official.

Xuan Haiyue in Lanxin Garden was very happy when she received the news from Mingyue Tower. She knew it must be recommended by her third uncle. Xuan Haiyue heard about Tie Qingtian's deeds from her third uncle when she was a child. , Known as: "Bao Qingtian reincarnated", he is a rare genius in China. During his 15 years as Quanzhou prefect, he never missed a wrongful case, and he also went to the countryside to work with the farmers himself. , has made many contributions to the prosperity of farmers, and is very popular in the local area.

When the people of Quanzhou knew that Lord Tie was leaving, everyone came to see him off, and some even pleaded for orders to hope that Lord Tie would not leave. He and Lu Jindong are really in the same sky and one underground, and they are both prefects, forming a sharp contrast.Whether an official is a clean official or a corrupt official, the voice of the people is the best proof.

Lingzhou prefect's study.

"My lord, my lord!" A well-dressed young man ran into the study and stood in front of the man who was carefully reading the introduction books about Lingzhou at the desk. This man was Tie Qingtian who had just come to Lingzhou to take office.

"What's the matter? You're in a panic." Tie Qingtian put down his book and looked up at the servant.

"My lord, Xuan Haiyue, the head of the Xuan family and the owner of Xuanxin Palace, has sent an invitation card. Please read it!" The servant handed over the invitation card.

Tie Qingtian took it, looked at it, and immediately took out a post and wrote a few words on it.Hand it over to the servant: "You immediately hand over this reply to Xuanxin Palace, which means that the Japanese official is waiting for you."

"Yes!"

The next day, Xuan Haiyue and Yanxia came to the prefect's mansion, "Xuan Xin Palace's master, Xuan Haiyue, has met Master Tie, and good luck to Master Tie!" Xuan Haiyue pressed her right hand to her left hand, stretching her feet to her chest, her legs together and knees bent, slightly Bowing his head, he saluted Tie Qingtian very politely.

"Palace Master Xuan, please take your seat." Tie Qingtian bowed in return, making a "please" gesture.

The servants immediately served tea and desserts, and Xiangzi withdrew. "What is the purpose of Palace Master Xuan's visit today?"

"It's nothing important for me to come to visit today. I have heard my third uncle Xia Wenyuan talk about Mr. Tie's deeds since I was a child, and I admire him deeply. If China can have a few more honest officials like Mr. Tie, then our The country will surely become stronger, and the lives of the people will become more peaceful."

"Palace Master Xuan is over-rewarded. Huaxia has excellent talents, and this official is just one of them." Tie Qingtian said calmly and modestly.

"Master Tie is too self-effacing. Xuanxin Palace is one of the four great nobles in Huaxia Kingdom and the largest family in Zhongnan Road. Although we have privileges, I also know that we cannot be arrogant and domineering because of favors. Bring disaster to your own family. If you want to maintain your family's reputation and protect your family's safety, you must be humble and introspective, so that it will last forever. Without rules, you can't be a circle. If there are any disciples under my family who do something wrong, please Mr. Tie The law must be enforced impartially, my palace will never show favoritism, and similarly, if Lord Tie needs my palace to deal with official affairs in the future, please ask, Xuanxin Palace will definitely help."

"Thank you, Palace Master Xuan. I am very happy that Palace Master Xuan understands righteousness so well. I will definitely enforce the law fairly, govern Lingzhou well, and create a peaceful and peaceful world for the people of Lingzhou." Tie Qingtian clasped his hands and promised sonorously arrive.

Next, Xuan Haiyue and Tie Qingtian chatted about some matters between some rich and noble families in Central South, and then left the prefect's mansion. Out of courtesy, when sending greetings to Tie Qingtian yesterday, they also sent greetings to Dugu's family.When Xuan Qiming was alive, he had a lot of friendship with the Dugu family, and the Xuan family and the Dugu family were not strangers, so there was no need to send greetings.But now Xuanhaiyue is the head of the family. It is the first time for her to visit the Dugu family as the owner of Xuanxin Palace. Whether the family style is good or not can be shown in details such as etiquette.
