Yanwei is wronged! Of course not, if Jiajun meant it. If Yanchi helps her husband to make peace, even if she is blamed, there is nothing she can do. If your husband can be a gentleman, he will stay calm. Of course Yan'er will be happy too.

."

Xu Xian pinched her cheek and said, "You really let me say anything! If I really have my thoughts, will I become a villain from Bei County?"

Yun Yan stuck out her tongue playfully, hugged Xu Xiandao and said, "I didn't say that. My husband is a despicable person, and I like him too."

Looking at her charming face, Xu Xian felt a little sweet. He held her waist and said, "Don't worry, I will understand what's going on here as soon as possible." Then he let go of Yun Yan, turned around and said, "Zhong

Girl, you are back!"

"Ah" is back!" Zhong Li was sitting at the door with a bamboo basket, blushing and not knowing what to do. The scene just now shocked her. After all, this is not a modern era with advanced information. She has lived in the valley for many years.

She has never seen such a battle before.

Yun Yan quickly stepped forward and took the second bamboo basket, which was filled with Zhong Li picking some bamboo shoots and mushrooms, but she quietly turned around and gave Xu Xian an angry look, and Xu Xian shrugged indifferently.

Xu Xian cooked several dishes and brought them to the hall. The three of them ate together.

Xu Xian suddenly asked: "How does it taste?"

Zhong Li nodded quickly, "It's delicious, much better than what I made." She had no appetite at first, but after tasting it for a while, her appetite was whetted.

I was surprised, was he really a high official?

"Then eat more!"

After a while, Xu Xian suddenly stood up and said, "Someone is here, please clean up!" He walked out of the door. A group of officials came from the bamboo forest surrounded by a small sedan. Before they reached the door, the people in the sedan gave orders.

The sedan stopped, and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a seventh-grade county magistrate came out. He walked up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Dongyuan, pays homage to Shixian!"

Although he is nominally on the same level as Xu Xian, his actual power is far different. Xu Xian is a Hanlin who has been favored by the Holy One, and this time he has been ordered to come here. Of course, the etiquette must be as thorough as possible, and

Xiao Xiao flattered Xu Xian.

Xu Xian quickly returned the gift and helped the county magistrate up. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Liu. Let's go in and talk." Seeing that the mayor was also in the team, he greeted: "You come too!"

The three of them came to the hall. Xu Xian and the county magistrate took their seats. The mayor stood aside cautiously.

Seeing how old he was, Xu Xian couldn't bear it, "You sit down too!"

"Ah, yes!" The mayor quickly found a chair and made do with half of his buttocks.

The county magistrate was about to speak, but suddenly he was stunned.

Zhong Li came in with three cups of tea and placed them on the small table.

Xu Xiandao: "Miss Zhong, please also sit down and listen. If you have any special requests, you might as well put them forward. Mr. Liu, this is Zhong Xu's sister."

Zhong Li glanced at Xu Xian gratefully, "Yeah." He hesitated and stood behind Xu Xian.

The county magistrate thought: I didn't expect that this small Shijing Town would hide such a beauty!

He has been an official here for several years, and he has long heard that there is a great beauty in Shijing Town, but he has never taken it to heart. In such a large county, it would be strange for any village or town not to have one or two famous beauties, but

In fact, they are just village girls. Only villagers who have never seen the world will praise them. But when I saw them today, I knew what a beautiful woman was, and I felt a little regretful. If I had seen Zhong Li earlier, I would have said anything to him.

She entered the room with affection and affection. But now, he glanced at Xu Xian and knew that he probably had no chance.

The county magistrate also believed in his heart that Zhong Li was already in Xu Xian's possession. Of course, he did not dare to think anything wrong. Compared with women, his own future was more important. He no longer glanced at Zhong Li.

In order not to offend Xu Xian, he lowered his head and said, "Master Xu has summoned your subordinates to come here. What are your instructions?"

Xu Xiandao: "Your Majesty, on your behalf, wants to give Zhong Xu a grand burial and build a temple to offer sacrifices. I have little talent and little knowledge. I don't know where to start, so I invited Mr. Liu to come. I want to entrust this matter to you. What do you think?"

The county magistrate patted his chest and assured that there would be no problem at all. Just leave it to him. But he murmured in his heart, "Fashionable funerals, building temples to offer sacrifices, to put it simply, it all costs money."

Xu Xian had already taken out a few banknotes, put them on the table and said: "This is a banknote of five thousand taels. Please keep it first and consider it as payment. If it is not enough, send someone to find me. But there is only a little money."

, just can’t handle it.”

"That's enough, that's enough!" The county magistrate suddenly beamed with joy, but suddenly remembered that he was going to hold a funeral. His expression changed to a sad expression, "Master Xu is a man of great courage and righteousness. His righteousness is so great that Zhong Xu can rest in peace even if he is under the Nine Springs. I

I heard that this holy grace was the result of Mr. Xu’s hard work in front of the Holy One, and even offended Liang Xiangguo’s son for it. The Holy One chose such a benevolent young man like Mr. Xu, and he really has a sharp eye.

Xu Xian touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Master Liu, that's a compliment."

"No, these are the official words from the bottom of my heart. There is absolutely no empty words."

Yun Yan stood behind the door and eavesdropped. She scoffed at the book on the 8th day of the month and said, "Flattery!" She tried to trick Zhong Li into seeing her reaction, but she was surprised. Zhong Li's eye circles were red and he looked at her.

The look in Xu Xian’s eyes was nothing but gratitude!

The county magistrate suddenly turned to Zhong Li and said: "Miss Zhong, I am very sorry for the loss of your brother. But the deceased has passed away, so you should also express your condolences. But fortunately, you have many adults here. You have

I can rest assured if you rely on me!" That look clearly showed the heartfelt care of the elders for the younger ones. Who would have thought that he had had "unreasonable thoughts" just a moment ago.

Yun Yan was angry and punched the bamboo wall, "Idiot. Who wants you to be a matchmaker?" She then hurriedly breathed at Xiuquan.

Zhong Li was not a stupid person. She heard the implication. She bit her lip and raised her head and said: "Zhong Li is not an ungrateful person. It's just that my brother is still in mourning, so I don't dare to think about him. When the day comes, we will definitely get married."

Hold the ring in the grass to repay Young Master Xu for your great kindness." Xu Xian's various performances clearly made her feel the chill of the four words "the kindness is as great as the end". She will not lie and will say whatever comes to her mind. At the same time, she also understands

, the only one she can repay is herself.

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "It is rare for you to have such thoughts. This will not ruin your brother's reputation." It seems that Zhong Li's failure to treat Xu Xian well will ruin Zhong Ga's reputation.

Xu Xian felt a headache and said, "Miss Zhong, I don't need you to repay me. Get up quickly." If he really had thoughts about Zhong Li, he would probably be very irritated by the county magistrate now and say what he was inconvenient to say. But

Now he is striking the county magistrate with his bow from left to right. What are you talking about?

!

The county magistrate resolutely said: "As for the merchant with evil intentions, I have already captured him and he is currently in jail awaiting his punishment."

Xu Xian asked the town mayor to invite the county magistrate, but the mayor was afraid of taking responsibility. He asked the townspeople to capture the merchant and go to the county magistrate. The merchant could not escape the disaster after all.

Of course Xu Xian would not care about the life and death of such people, and only said: "Then please Mr. Liu, please deal with it according to the law!"

The two talked for a while, and then the magistrate took his leave and left to prepare for the funeral.

Xu Xian felt at ease and sighed that this was the benefit of power. If he couldn't do something himself, he would let others do it.

Otherwise, if he does this as a common man, even if he has money, he will have to spend a lot of thought.

Zhong Li was still standing behind Xu Xian and suddenly said: "Mr. Xu, I almost misunderstood you just now, please don't be offended."

Xu Xian hurriedly said: "I'm not surprised, I'm not surprised." He felt that her expression remained unchanged, but there was a sense of determination in her eyes. That expression reminded Xu Xian of the female warrior who planned to dedicate herself to the noble cause in her eyes.

Zhong Li filled a cup of tea and gave it to Xu Xiandao: "I have one more unkind request, and I want you to agree to it!"

Xu Xian took a sip of tea and thought it was about the funeral, "Why didn't you say anything just now? The county magistrate has left now. What is your request?"

"I want to mourn for my brother!"

With his current level of cultivation, Xu Xianrao was a little choked and let out a string of coughs, thinking to himself: "If you want to mourn for your brother, do you need my approval? And Zhong Xu really doesn't need such advanced mourning.

treatment."

Zhong Li hesitated for a moment, stretched out his bare hand and patted Xu Xian's back gently. Just now, Xu Xian only had the status of "brother's friend", and Zhong Li just wanted to entertain him well. Now Xu Xian's status has become

Zhong Li, the "great benefactor" of the Zhong family, consciously positioned himself as the person who wanted to repay his kindness. And he was the kind of person who had no other way to repay his kindness except to promise him his own life.

"You may not understand what I'm saying, but Zhong Xu really doesn't need anyone else to mourn him. From a certain point of view, he is still alive and well. I helped him bury him and build a temple just to help him accumulate some popularity so that he can be sealed smoothly.

God. And there is no rule requiring a sister to mourn for her brother!"

Zhong Li was even more confused. She couldn't understand any angle, popularity, or deity. The only thing she understood was that Xu Xian rejected her request.

Zhong Li turned away, with a rare look of pity on his face, "Mr. Xu, please. I will obey your other instructions. I will follow your arrangements and go to the capital or somewhere else." She was anxious.

Then he blurted out, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Are you that anxious?

Are you in such a hurry?

Is that all you do?

Xu Xian's expression was stiff, and these words kept echoing in his mind.

He wanted to look up to the sky and roar, "Why am I anxious?" But looking at Zhong Li's stubborn and pitiful expression, he said feebly: "Whatever, you will understand when Zhong Xu comes back. Really, I am not anxious at all."

"Thank you, don't worry, I will never break my promise and I will definitely repay you." Zhong Li promised with a serious look on his face.

Xu Xian had a headache. He held his head and tried to recall. When did the plot turn into a beastly drama like "I forced my deceased friend's sister to repay him, and my deceased friend's sister endured the humiliation and promised her body." Could it be that with a sinister smile on his face,

Would it be more in line with your image to give the county magistrate dozens of taels of silver when you go out?
