County Magistrate Xi's face had changed, and his body suddenly had a cold war.

Based on his experience of staying here for so long, I am afraid that something will happen.

He was too lazy to pay attention to the silly man selling straw sandals, and ran back with a gust of wind.

"Sir, Your Highness... something is going to happen, something big is going to happen..."

The magistrate Xi County has never had any image at all. It is simply a shame for the scholars and officials. Not only is he just a sloppy, but he has no image and demeanor at this time.

Zhu Gaosui was already taken away by Princess Zhao. Hao Fenglou had no choice but to cut off his plans to go out and played Goji with Zhu Zhiling.

This Goji was taught by Hao Fenglou, and Zhu Zhiling gradually liked it quite a lot. He always lost at the beginning, but after thinking about it, he could win a few games. In fact, she was cold most of the time. Only when she focused on playing chess could she inevitably show the silly appearance of a girl. Hao Fenglou was away when she was away, and often thought of her beautiful wife at home. Seeing Zhu Zhiling like this, she even more deeply loved her.

Zhu Zhiling was about to win, and he raised his chess piece and was about to kill Hao Fenglou for a piece of armor. As a result, County Magistrate Xi disturbed her good things directly. Seeing this, Hao Fenglou quickly spilled the chess piece and said with a smile: "Look, official business is important, this chess can't be played anymore."

As a result, Zhu Zhiling was furious. She had a strong temperament, thinking about the way to win day and night, and finally saw the dawn. As a result, Hao Fenglou was shameless and tricked her. She was too angry on Hao Fenglou and looked at the Xi County Magistrate.

The murderous intent shown by His Highness this princess is different from the past. County Magistrate Xi was glared at by her, and his body was not soft, but he had a cold war. He was confused and felt very aggrieved. He only said that this Highness did not like him. He couldn't help but shout in his heart: "Is it my fault to be ugly? Why do he get angry and resentful everywhere?"

Hao Fenglou was happy and secretly praised the county magistrate Xi for helping him, so he said kindly: "What happened?"

The magistrate Xi County felt a little warmer. After living for so many years, the Lord Hao in front of him had never discriminated against him. However, if he knew that the reason why Hao Fenglou treated him as warm as spring was just because he was chess, he would probably be extremely desperate about this cruel world.

He cheered up and said, "Sir, something happened. Something was strange recently. People in the mountains refused to go down the mountain. It seemed that they had received some news or were hostage by some people. In short, Xiaguan has been here for so long and has never encountered such a situation. Only knowing that there was a similar situation in the county annals. In the ninth year of Hongwu, there was a similar incident. As a result, half a month later, there was a civil unrest in Langshan. The rioters on the mountain attacked Langshan County and then attacked Luzhou Prefecture City. The situation today is exactly the same as more than 20 years ago. Lord, Xiaguan thinks something is going to happen. Something is going to happen."

Hao Fenglou did not dare to neglect at this time. He narrowed his eyes and said, "If someone asks the mountain people not to go down the mountain, they really don't go down the mountain? As far as I know, these mountain people are not a solid piece of paper."

The magistrate Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Others can't, but there is one person who can. That person is the merchant Liu Jian, who has been doing business here for generations. They monopolized the trade with the mountain people. If the mountain people want to get iron, salt, or even weapons, they have to go through his hands. If the mountain people want to sell the fur goods, ordinary merchants must also go through Liu Jian's permission. In the eyes of the mountain people, this person is the parents of food and clothing. The mountain people can have no food, but they cannot have salt. Therefore, the subordinate speculated that this matter should be his secret instruction."

Hao Fenglou sneered: "He, a merchant, dares to fight against the entire court?"

The Xi County Magistrate smiled bitterly and said, "He is not an ordinary businessman. Didn't he be blackmailed when he entered the county town last time? The dozen men could call out hundreds or thousands of people with a whistle, and these people were actually Liu Jian's people. Liu Jian not only had prestige in Langshan, but also in the government, Guangxi provincial capital or Luzhou Prefecture, his power was also quite good. It is also said that he has cursed many senior military officers from the Southern Army recently. He has this support and dare not do anything? The adult offended him last time, maybe... he wanted to give the adult a warning. Besides, he just stayed behind the scenes. Even if the court pursued him, he would definitely be able to bribe many people to speak for him. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the parents who have won the trust in Jinling are these local parents? If everyone speaks in unison, they say it is just a civil rebellion. If some mountain people are suppressing them, what can the court say?"

Zhu Zhiling couldn't help but say, "What a courage, is this the Zhu family's territory?"

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile bitterly. His princess was still a little naive. It was simply a fool to say these places. In places like Lang Son, where is the mark of the Zhu family's country? He pondered for a long time, but couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Mr. Xi, things are wrong. Liu Jian can make a deal so big and can be stable in Lang Son. If he has been operating for so many years, he must be a rash person. Will such a person arrange such things just because I offended him? No, no, something should have gone wrong."

County Magistrate Xi felt that there was some truth, and the truth was indeed correct. The other party could not know the identity of Hao Qianshi. It was too late to curry favor with someone with such an identity. Why did he take the risk and set up such a big formation?

He felt that something was wrong. It was obviously because the other party's motive was unknown. However, on the other hand, the sign that Lang Son was about to usher in a storm was real. According to his prediction, even if these people did not cause chaos, it would be enough for Lang Son County to have a pot of money. The county magistrate of Xi could not let go of it.

Hao Fenglou frowned and said, "Actually, something will happen? Just try it. Xi County Magistrate, you immediately send someone to find Liu Jian and say that the county government is invited to drink. If he is willing to come, it means that he has no worries in his heart. This may have nothing to do with him. Even if it is related, I think I want to use mountain people to blackmail the government. If he doesn't come..." Hao Fenglou's eyes were quiet and he made the worst plan: "Then it is very likely that Lang San and even Luzhou Prefecture will be in peace."

When the county magistrate Xi heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately said, "I will make arrangements now."

The officers had already appeared everywhere and went to several other courtyards of the Liu family.

But the news received was obviously disappointing.

The building is empty when people are gone.

Although there were servants in the Liu family's three mansions and other courtyards, all the people in the Liu family disappeared, and hundreds of people guarding the hospital were gone.

When the news came back, County Magistrate Xi almost fainted.

The people from the Liu family walked away overnight, and the only possibility was only one... and this was definitely what County Magistrate Xi didn't want to see the least.

Hao Fenglou no longer had a trace of luck at this time. Fortunately, Hao Fenglou was calm when the change was about to change. He encountered too many things. For him, Lang San was a small place after all, and he came to the court with the order. He had King Zhao around him, and there were many resources to use, so he didn't even jump.

He took a sip of tea, looked at Zhu Zhiling, suddenly smiled, and said, "Beautiful sister, we are not lucky, and it seems that we are going to live and die together again."

Zhu Zhiling was touched by his heart, and Yanran smiled and said, "After so many times, aren't we all still here?"

Hao Fenglou laughed loudly and said, "Yes, whoever wants our lives will take them. Beautiful sister, I will protect you."

Zhu Zhiling did not point it out. Although he knew in his heart that once something big happened, he would probably protect him himself, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."

County Magistrate Xi is about to cry. At this point, you can still flirt with each other. The traitor is it? Is there any reason for the traitor?

Hao Fenglou became serious. He said with a cold face: "Be wary immediately. The gate of the county town is closed immediately. All the servants must be released. Post a notice of peace. There must be their inner support in the county town, but not everyone is related to them. The government must make it clear that once the mountain people change their civil war and enter the county town, they will not care whether you are an officer or an ordinary person. If the people are killed red, there is nothing that cannot be done. Therefore, the people in the county must be settled. Whoever dares to act rashly will directly let the servants take it."

The magistrate Xi frowned and said, "There is a soldier in the county stationed at the gate. The garrison master has some friendship with me. He has thousands of officers and soldiers under his command. If he is willing to come to help, things will be easier."

Hao Fenglou said, "Then you go and write and ask him to dispatch troops. As for the defense in the city, you must be careful and don't neglect it."

Xi County Magistrate He nodded and said, "The official understands."

After saying that, County Magistrate Xi hurried away. However, Hao Fenglou's face was still ashen. He sat in a daze on the chair. Zhu Zhiling was quite worried about him and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?"

Hao Fenglou came back to his senses and said, "I can't explain clearly. What is the benefit of doing this for the Liu? He is extremely risky, but he wants to lose his head. We have no grudges with him. Could it be that his real purpose is not for us? But it is not right to say that he is aimed at County Magistrate Xi. After taking office, the place that can be controlled by County Magistrate Xi is probably the size of a palm-sized place in the county town. He is usually cautious and dare not neglect these people. Why do they do this for?"

Zhu Zhiling pursed her lips and smiled, "You just need to know that they are coming to kill you now. As for why they want to kill you, is it very important?"

Hao Fenglou said with a serious expression: "It is very important. Only by knowing yourself and the others can you win every battle. If the other party doesn't know the motives, they are local snakes, but we are blind and deaf. In the end, I'm afraid I won't even know how to die. Forget it, go and take a break, don't worry too much. Maybe it's me and the mediocre Xi County magistrate who disturbed themselves and scared themselves."
