After wearing a book, she became the vicious stepmother of the seven villains

Tutu and the boss were in a bad mood. After listening to their mother's words, they seemed to understand some things.

Tutu looked at her mother and felt that she had heard these words somewhere, but she couldn't remember them.

Wang Xiaoxia didn't pay too much attention to this. She went to buy vegetables, called Shaoyao and Old Man Li in the evening, and asked Old Man Li to send someone to protect Mrs. Qin.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the city gate.

The city guard lazily opened the city gate, but was woken up by a loud slap in the face.

Snapped!

After the crisp slap, the yamen servant touched his face and widened his eyes. He was stopped before he could get angry.

"Idiot, why don't you open the city gate? This is our Minister of Civil Affairs, Mr. Yan." A scoundrel shouted at the government servant.

The yamen servant had never seen such a big official before. He was so frightened that his legs trembled and he knelt on the ground.

"Okay, don't scare him. Keep a low profile and go to the city to rest." Master Yan's tired voice came from the carriage.

Hearing Master Yan speak, the dog-legged man nodded and bowed and said, "Why don't you show Master Yan the way to the inn to rest."

"Yes, yes, yes!" After hearing this, the Yamen servant nodded repeatedly, opened the door, and trotted in front to lead the way.

Magistrate Liu, who went to bed early, was a little flattered when he heard that the Minister of Civil Affairs had arrived in Dongling County. However, he quickly thought that it was because of Dongling Academy, so he hurriedly sent someone to Dongling Academy to deliver the news. He was wearing official uniform.

Station.

In Dongling Academy, Gu Changqing, who had not slept for several days, was just about to take a rest. When he heard about the arrival of Yan Shilang, he also changed into clean clothes and followed the yamen servant to the inn.

Yan Shilang had been traveling for several days. As a civil servant, he looked extremely tired. He finally got there and wanted to take a rest. However, he heard Yan Yan say that the dean of Dongling Academy and the county magistrate were here. He could only

Call people to the hall to talk.

"I have met Lord Yan!"

"Gu Changqing has met Master Yan!"

Magistrate Liu and Gu Changqing entered the hall one after the other and stepped forward to salute Mr. Yan.

"Everyone, please take a seat. It's so late and I have to ask you to make a trip. Thank you for your hard work." Mr. Yan said in an official tone.

"My lord, you have worked hard and traveled a long way to Dongling County. If you need me to do anything, please let me know clearly!" Magistrate Liu said carefully.

Gu Changqing said nothing. Anyway, he knew their purpose of coming.

"County Magistrate Liu doesn't need to be so open-minded. Xuanwu Academy will recruit a group of new students next year. I am here this time to select some talents from Dongling Academy. I will ask two people to recommend them when the time comes." Mr. Yan said seriously.

said.

Gu Changqing felt disgusted in his heart. This was clearly a person selected and trained for the Prince. He also wondered whether County Magistrate Liu was also a member of the Prince?

Magistrate Liu is only a minor official, but he still has someone in the court. This Lord Yan is from Prince Tai. Prince Tai is domineering, and it may not be the best choice for students to follow such a person.

However, he is just a petty official, and all he can do is follow the instructions above.

"Master Yan really cherishes talents. If necessary, I can hold a poetry meeting in the county. Then the talented people in the city will naturally show up. With Master Yan in person, the poetry meeting will definitely attract the attention of the talents."

He made his proposal.

Upon hearing this, Lord Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Lord Liu, this is a good method. Then you can discuss with Dean Gu how to do it appropriately?"

"Yes!" Gu Changqing echoed from the side.

Seeing the calm look on Gu Yuan's face, Mr. Liu seemed not to welcome this matter, so he raised his hands and said, "Sir Yan looks a little tired, why not take a good rest. I will arrange the poetry meeting as soon as possible."

"I am indeed a little tired. When your list is finalized, I have to go to the next place." Mr. Yan feels that County Magistrate Liu is a sensible person, so he doesn't have to work so hard. As for Gu Changqing

, it was originally the line that the Prince set outside, this time he just needs to cooperate well.

"Then I have resigned!" Mr. Liu saluted.

"I'm resigning too!" Gu Changqing cupped his hands.

Master Yan waved his hand, and after the two of them retreated, he stood up and walked to the bedroom next to him.

Yan Yan followed him into the house. After waiting for the door to be closed, he opened the door in a sinister voice: "Brother, I see that Gu Changqing seems a little reluctant."

"If you don't want to, we don't need to worry so much. Just finish the work and leave quickly. This is a troubled place, and it is also the territory under Sun Jiuzhou's jurisdiction. Now Sun Jiuzhou and the Prince are already at odds with each other. It's not good for us to offend anyone.

Live your life." Mr. Yan said with an irritated look. If the prince hadn't asked him to come here by name, he would never have come to cause this trouble.

When Yan Yan heard this, his eyes started to wander.

"Let me tell you, don't expect any unexpected gains here. If we do get something, it will still be troublesome for us. Do you hear me clearly?" Mr. Yan said to this cousin seriously.

Usually his cousin is around to help him make money, but when he comes to Sun Jiuzhou's territory, he doesn't dare to mess around. Whenever the god of death turns his spear against him, he will be in endless trouble.

"Brother, I will remember what you said." After Yan Yan heard this, his heart was filled with despair, and he was still a little unwilling to run away this time in vain.

Master Yan waved his hand, washed himself and went to bed.

After Yan Yan left, he was making small calculations in his heart, so that others could not gain anything. However, as the dean of Dongling Academy, Gu Changqing probably had a lot of oil and water on his body, and Magistrate Liu, he was able to pick off as much as he wanted.

Click it out.

Of course, while Yan Yan was trying to influence others, someone was also trying to influence others.

At this time, in the woods not far outside the city, Sun Jiuzhou and several other brothers of Mo Zi were resting in place. Soon his men came to report the news.

"General, Yan Jinfeng brought his dog into the city." Han Jiang reported what he saw to the general.

"If there are no generals out, everyone calls me big brother. I will go to the city at dawn to have a look, and then I will go back home in the name of Laojiu." Sun Jiuzhou missed his children, wife, and parents very much.

Although he knew that his wife was very capable and had brought prosperity to the village, he still felt uneasy. After all, this place was not really safe yet. This time he left Xuanwu City with a secret order, and he could not stay home for a long time.

It won't be long, he has to cherish it.

"Yes, brother!" Han Jiang responded obediently.

In order to prevent others from discovering their departure from Xuanwu City, he, Zhang Dakai and the others acted separately.

They came back this time for fear of exposing their whereabouts without bringing any troops. When the troops were needed, they could directly dispatch them to Han Zhan and make arrangements in advance before they came back.

Waiting for daybreak, they disguised themselves and entered the city as traders.

Sun Jiuzhou asked everyone to move separately, while he walked around the city to see if he could meet his wife or Old Man Li?

The sun was shining brightly today, and Wang Xiaoxia saw that the two children hadn't gotten up yet. She probably had trouble sleeping last night, so they were being watched in the yard while she went out for a walk on the street by herself.

The business in the city was managed by Old Man Li, Uncle Gui, and Shaoyao. Every month, Old Man Li would report an income figure to her, but she would only receive 20% of it, leaving Old Man Li to arrange the rest.

Walking on a crowded street, she met Mr. Chen from the county government. We chatted for a while that day, and now they are considered acquaintances.

"Master Chen, where are you going in such a hurry?" She saw Master Chen walking forward in a hurry with something in his hand, so she stepped forward and said hello.
