Chapter 470
Yang Xitong said impatiently: "Guan Fuqing has come to test me frequently recently. He has repeatedly asked me why the security in the county governor's house is so tight. He also asked me in detail about the policies issued by each county.
When you ask me, the meaning behind the words is to test whether these policies are really what King Lu meant."
After hearing Yang Xitong's complaint, Lin Zhihuang raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Then, how did you respond?"
Yang Xitong was clearly exhausted from dealing with Guan Fuqing in the past few days. He touched his hairline and said anxiously: "These policies are so detailed and are obviously formulated for Lixian County. How could they be issued by King Lu?"
The government order that came over? Even if my subordinates want to talk nonsense like this, they still have to take care of Fu Qingxin."
Xiao Qi crushed the tea bricks with a tea pestle, poured the crushed tea leaves into the tea bowl, and listened quietly to the conversation between Yang Xitong and Lin Zhihuang.
Xiao Qi only listened for a while and felt that Yang Xitong was quite interesting. He was very different from the introverted Wen Nanfang. Yang Xitong obviously relaxed himself in front of Lin Zhihuang. He didn't know whether it was because of his original personality or whether he was deliberately letting himself go.
Such a personality is used to cater to the lord's casual temperament and to build a relationship with the lord.
"Naturally, my subordinates took all the actions against Lixian County in the recent period. They all took responsibility for themselves. They also pretended to be arrogant and yelled at Guan Fuqing. Since King Yanlu left me here, I don't know anything.
My little lady, I naturally have the final say in the affairs of this place. I am the behind-the-scenes county guard left here by King Lu. Could it be that he, the county magistrate, wants to seize power?"
Lin Zhihuang listened with great interest: "What about Fu Qing's reaction?"
When Yang Xitong heard this, his face suddenly looked like pig liver, and he covered his face with his sleeves, unable to speak and said: "He didn't say anything after hearing this. He complained to his subordinates, turned around and left. When he left, he didn't even speak.
The boss muttered, "My subordinates don't seem to be such smart people, and they don't have such good ideas for governing the people," and then they walked away shaking their heads!"
Lin Zhihuang laughed out loud: "Guan Fuqing is also a wonderful person. These words are both a provocation and a test. I said it to you deliberately. I deliberately tested who the person behind you is. It's interesting."
Wen Nannan thought carefully about what Yang Xitong said, and asked quietly: "Has he already guessed that the person behind Brother Yang is the Lord who is the puppet of King Lu?"
When Wen Nanfang asked about the business, Yang Xitong immediately put away the pretentious look on his face: "It should be that Guan Fuqing's probing words were too pointed and he mentioned the lord frequently."
Yang Xitong said solemnly: "My lord's actions against Lixian County during this period have really become bigger, and it is difficult to conceal them. Guan Fuqing seems to have already made a guess, and now he can also communicate with King Lu. I'm worried
,he........"
Xiao Qi poured the first brewed tea into a teacup, presented it to Lin Zhihuang respectfully, and interrupted Yang Xitong's words with a smile.
"Nothing, my lord, you can send a message tonight and invite senior brother to come to the county governor's house as a guest. Senior brother will surrender to you, he has no other choice."
As soon as Xiao Qi said this, the three people sitting around the tea table all turned their eyes to him.
Lin Zhihuang picked up the tea that Xiao Qi gave her, sipped it carefully, his eyes flashed slightly, then he calmly put the tea cup down and asked with a smile: "How do you say this to Gao Yang?"
Xiao Qi put down the tea utensil in his hand, cupped his hands and explained to Lin Zhihuang: "Back to my lord, Qi went to my senior brother's residence yesterday."
"Oh?" Lin Zhihuang raised his eyebrows. He was really surprised by Xiao Qi's efficiency in doing things. He raised the handrail to Xiao Qi, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.
When Yang Xitong on the side heard this, he couldn't wait to ask quickly: "Brother Xiao Xian, what identity did you use to meet your senior brother?"
"An old friend looking for help."
When Xiao Qi saw that Lin Zhihuang asked him not to be polite, the smile on his face relaxed a little, and he withdrew his hand that saluted Lin Zhihuang.
The tea in the teapot was just about to boil, and Xiao Qi calmly placed the second cup of strong tea at Wen Nanfang's hand.
Wen Nanfang lowered his eyes and glanced at the tea Xiao Qi put in his hand. He calmly picked up the tea and moved it to Lin Zhihuang's hand beside him. He also asked quietly: "What about Fu Qing?"
Brother Xiao, what’s your attitude?”
Wen Nanfang often made tea for Lin Zhihuang, and he was already familiar with Lin Zhihuang's tea preferences.
Lin Zhihuang only loved drinking the second brewed tea. At this time, when he saw Xiao Qi giving the second brewed tea to him, he naturally gave it to Lin Zhihuang who was beside him.
Xiao Qi noticed Wen Nanfang's actions and was slightly startled. He thought to himself, the people around the lord are indeed not simple, and they are very good at liking the lord. Yang Xitong, who speaks casually, seems to be indifferent.
Wen Langjun, too.
They all have great experience in winning the favor of their lord.
Xiao Qi, who felt that he had stayed in the mountains for too long and missed the opportunity to get along with his lord, secretly made a note of the fact that his lord liked to drink the second brewed tea, and secretly thought in his heart that he came to his lord too late after all. He must like his lord.
He must be more attentive. There will be many capable people around the lord in the future. He must occupy a place in the lord's heart before those people come.
It's a pity that the master is not a man, otherwise he could be invited to stay and sleep, which would also bring the master-slave relationship closer faster.
"Yes, yes, brother Xiao Xian, tell me quickly, why do you speak and act so slowly? It's so annoying."
Yang Xitong noticed Wen Nanfang's movements and saw Lin Zhihuang's eyes being attracted by Wen Nanfang's movements. He immediately spoke, attracting Lin Zhihuang's attention to himself, and took this opportunity to confront Xiao Qi.
A smiley face.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi slowly brought the third cup of tea to Yang Xitong.
Lin Zhihuang was completely focused on what a few people said at this time, and was completely unaware of the interactions between them. He picked up the teacup at hand and took another sip, and asked Xiao Qi: "Time is the most important thing to make people change. Gao Yang
, is Senior Brother Guan Fuqing still the Senior Brother you were before?"
When Xiao Qi heard that Lin Zhihuang wanted to ask, he calmed down and showed a warm look on his face: "Senior brother is still the same senior brother as before. He is eager for public good and righteous. I haven't said what difficulties I encountered. He just saw me coming to the door.
He gave me all the three hundred taels of silver he had left at home."
Yang Xitong saw that Xiao Qi did not answer the key point, and asked the key point again: "The Lord has asked his men to check Guan Fuqing. He is indeed a man of high moral character. However, the Fang family has been destroyed, and this person is now out of touch with the old people."
The master is under the control of the Fang family, and he has chosen King Lu, a powerful new master, so he does not have to switch his allegiance to the master, so how can brother Xiao Xian be so sure that he will join the master?"
"What if he is bent on gaining power from King Lu? Wouldn't it be dangerous for my lord to recruit him with his true face?"
"Senior brother is not really loyal to King Lu."
Xiao Qi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When my senior brother gave me the only money left at home, my sister-in-law rushed out angrily, took the money back, and cursed me as a thief who beat the autumn wind, and in front of me
In front of me, I had a big quarrel with my senior brother."
The other three people sitting around the tea table started laughing when they saw Xiao Qi replying and talking about the quarrel between Guan Fuqing and his wife, and they all looked at him sideways.
Lin Zhihuang: "..." When you see a couple quarreling, can you laugh?
What's so funny about pretending to be down and out and causing other couples to quarrel? Xiao Qi, are you laughing at yourself as a single person who lives too happily and doesn't have to worry about love?
Wen Nanfang: ".........."
The subordinates that the lord took in seemed to have good personalities, but they were not that normal after all.
Yang Xitong: ".........."
Anyone who is scolded can laugh sincerely. No wonder I just provoked and despised him, and this person is not angry anymore. In this way, I can openly rebuke him in the future, right? If he is so generous, he should not be angry at all, right?
