Emperor Jiuyin

After a month of silence, Zhou Qiurong gradually recovered from his grief, so Xiang Lei took advantage of the situation and launched a crazy offensive against Zhou Qiurong.

Zhou Qiurong has an old grandmother who has raised her since she was a child and is very kind to Zhou Qiurong.

Xiang Lei did not attack Zhou Qiurong directly, but adopted roundabout tactics to capture the people around Zhou Qiurong first.

Whenever Xiang Lei has time, he will go to Zhou Qiurong's house to greet her grandmother and take care of her meticulously. She is almost closer than her own grandson.

The old man bought everything he wanted, didn't want, whatever was valuable, and stuffed it all away.

She can refuse once or twice, but can she refuse a thousand times?

Those who take people will not only become short-handed, but also have a soft heart.

Soon, the old man was moved by Xiang Lei's sincerity, and he became more and more pleased with this junior, even more so than his own grandson.

But how could the old man know that Xiang Lei Langzi was ambitious.

After gaining the favor of Grandma Zhou Qiurong, Xiang Lei used various means to win the favor of the surrounding neighbors.

Over time, everyone in Fenghe Village knew that Xiang Lei wanted to marry Zhou Qiurong, and everyone felt that the two were a perfect match, and no one was more suitable for Zhou Qiurong than Xiang Lei.

Even many villagers were secretly very jealous of Zhou Qiurong, thinking that she was not good enough for Mr. Xiang Lei and Xiang Xiang.

When the whole world thinks you like someone, sometimes you will blindly think that you like that person too.

Xiang Lei saved Zhou Qiurong's life before, and she already had a good impression of Xiang Lei. Now that Li Yanhui has been dead for nearly a year, Zhou Qiurong's heart has gradually moved to Xiang Lei.

She had already forgotten what Li Hanxue had said before, and completely regarded Xiang Lei as a person of this world.

"Xiao Rong, what do you think of Xiang Lei?" Grandma Zhou Qiurong asked.

Zhou Qiurong's face turned red and she said, "Grandma, what are you referring to?"

Grandma Zhou Qiurong smiled and said: "I think Xiang Lei means that to you. This young man is kind and reliable, warm-hearted, and capable. There is no better man than him in the entire Lianhua County. If he proposes to you , I think I can agree to it.”

"Grandma!" Zhou Qiurong said, "I don't have this intention yet."

Grandma Zhou Qiurong smiled and said: "Don't miss such an outstanding man. Do you know how jealous those girls in the village are of you? If you don't take advantage of it, you will be snatched away by others and you won't even have time to cry."

"Grandma, I understand." Zhou Qiurong said.

At the end of the year, there was heavy snowfall, and we were by the lotus pond again.

Xiang Lei proposed to Zhou Qiurong, and Zhou Qiurong nodded in agreement.

Xiang Lei secretly smiled in his heart: "Li Hanxue, now I see how you can still struggle, unless you send people to kill me and Zhou Qiurong, but I won't let you succeed. You have no chance."

…

In the county government office.

"Sir!" Sun Ming rushed back with a dusty look on his face, and there was a man with sinister eyes beside him, but his expression was very respectful.

Li Hanxue said: "Sun Ming, thank you for your hard work. Have you gained anything this year?"

Sun Ming said: "I have found out many things about Xiang Lei."

"Oh? Come on, tell me." Li Hanxue said.

Sun Ming said: "After Xiang Lei was expelled from Fenghe Academy ten years ago, he went to Cangning County in the north of Dahe Prefecture, where he worked as an apprentice and went up to the mountains to cut trees with others. Later, he met a group of gangsters and sneaked into the Imperial Palace with these gangsters. He made a fortune by stealing precious cloud trees from the forest farm. Later, he switched to a salt business and made a lot of money selling illegal salt. However, the imperial government banned illegal salt very severely, and Xiang Lei did not. He chose to lick blood on the tip of a knife and then switched to the antique business. My lord, the crime of stealing Yunmu is enough to chop his head off."

Yunmu is a wood exclusively used by the royal family and is only produced in Cangning County. For this reason, the royal family specially built a forest farm in Cangning County to plant Yunmu.

This kind of wood can only be used by the royal family. If ordinary people use it, they will be beheaded, let alone steal the cloud wood.

Li Hanxue asked: "Is there any evidence to prove that he did these things?"

Sun Ming said: "The gangster who followed him before can testify."

Li Hanxue said: "It's useless. A confession alone is not enough to bring him down. Xiang Lei can completely deny that he did it. If the gangster can't produce evidence to prove that he cooperated with Xiang Lei, it will be of no use."

"What your Excellency said is absolutely true." Sun Ming said.

Li Hanxue said: "Who is this person next to you?"

Sun Ming said: "Luo An, one of my brothers, he has been involved in both black and white. He has been working for others before and is very skilled. Now he wants to find another way to make a living, so I brought him here. I hope you can give him some food." ”

Sun Ming knew that this young county magistrate was very open-minded and could tolerate things that others could not tolerate, so he dared to bring Luo An over.

Li Hanxue stared at Luo An coldly and said: "Luo An, raise your head!"

Luo An slowly raised his head, his eyes evading, he felt guilty.

Li Hanxue said: "Luo An, have you ever killed someone?"

Sun Ming said: "Sir, Luo An has killed people before, but those were gangsters, and death is not a pity."

Li Hanxue said: "Sun Ming, shut up, Luo An, answer me!"

Luo An said in a trembling voice: "Kill...killed."

Li Hanxue said: "Why are you afraid of me?"

Luo An said: "The great man's popularity is extraordinary, just like the birth of Wenquxing. The little man has never seen such a great man as the great man, so he is frightened."

Li Hanxue sneered: "You dare to lie to me? Someone, drag Luo An down and give him a two hundred stick!"

If you beat him with two hundred sticks, you will definitely die.

Sun Ming was shocked: "Sir, you must not do this! Although Brother Luo An has killed people, his crime is not worthy of death. Your Excellency, please be generous!"

"Sir, please spare my life!" Luo An's knees became weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Li Hanxue said: "Luo An, you recruit me truthfully. As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will not kill you. But if you dare to tell a lie, I will kill you immediately!"

"Yes, yes!" Luo Ancheng said in fear.

In fact, as early as the moment Luo An entered the lobby and saw Li Hanxue, Li Hanxue had already discovered Luo An's abnormality from the dream demon.

His emotions were very complex, including guilt, fear, surprise... including various emotions.

Li Hanxue said: "Let me ask you, why are you afraid of me?" wavv

Luo An hesitated and did not dare to answer.

Sun Ming said anxiously: "Luo An, what do you have to say that you still don't tell the truth to me?"

Luo An said: "Sir, if I tell the truth, you promise not to kill me."

Li Hanxue said: "Don't worry, since I promised not to kill you, I will definitely not break my promise."

Sun Ming said: "Luo An, your Excellency is a man of his word. He has never broken his promise, so you can rest assured."
