Mr. Liu Fang's right eyelid kept twitching very early this morning. He had a hunch that nothing good would happen today.
In general, he has never carried it like this in his life.
He felt that he should find a temple to worship and get rid of bad luck.
It was all caused by that damn Yue Meng Silk!
Look, this is a beautiful Suzhou Prefecture, but it is so smoky. What is this?
Then a subordinate came to report that traces of wanted criminals were found at the city gate.
Liu Fang's expression was first shocked, then happy, and finally bitter.
What's shocking is that these thieves are so bold. They dare to come back in broad daylight? The good news is that he can finally submit a mission to the prince, and Zhao Xuance can be exempted from a serious crime; the bad thing is that the soldiers at hand are really limited, how can he catch him?
Then soldiers began to report the whereabouts of that group of people.
What a courage to do this in broad daylight! How dare you walk on the streets of Suzhou Prefecture as if there is no one around? Do you really think that there is no one in Suzhou Prefecture?
There seems to be no one...
Lord Liu Fang felt helpless when he thought of this.
Immediately afterwards, people reported to Suzhou Prefecture and wanted to receive rewards?
Get a shitty reward!
No one is hiding, so do you still need to report it? !
Wait a minute...
This route, judging from the situation, is heading towards Suzhou!
Damn it! It’s so lawless!
The master feels that his majesty has been greatly challenged, so he mobilizes his troops. I want to see what these bold thieves will do!
So Mr. Liu Fang angrily took his "troops" to the yamen gate and saw Qi Zhen and his party, as well as onlookers from three floors inside and three floors outside.
After hearing Master Liu Fang's order, the few remaining soldiers stood behind the master and looked at each other without making any move.
I heard that these people killed the family of the store owner of the Fashion Clothing Shop? How cruel a person must be to not even spare a child?
I heard that they also killed Liao Xunli and Adjutant Liao?
That is Master Liao, who is very skilled. How can we defeat him?
In short, several soldiers glanced at each other and completely lost their desire to rush forward.
They had never thought that they could have such a tacit understanding and could understand what each other was thinking just by looking at each other.
Look at your eyes, nose and heart, and just pretend that the adult is silent.
When Liu Fang saw no movement around him, he was very angry.
OK! I spent my money to support you!
It's okay on weekdays. With so many people watching here today, can't you just show off the majesty of our Suzhou Mansion?
Ah~! You thieves are the same, you insist on making a big fuss, how can I, the master, come to Taiwan? !
The onlookers who didn't know the truth had already seen some clues at this time, and some regretted coming here to watch. Especially those who were businessmen and permanent residents of Suzhou Prefecture, they all wanted to quit at this time.
Darling, Mr. Fu Yin has nothing to do with these murderers. Why don't you have a handle on us? If we are given small shoes to wear in the future, who can withstand this...?
For a moment, the onlookers were neither here nor leaving, and the atmosphere was very solid.
Master Liu Fang needs steps, his subordinate soldiers also need steps, and the people around him also need steps.
"Sir, we surrendered ourselves..." Qi Zhen couldn't bear to see the atmosphere continue to be deadlocked, and said with cupped fists.
"Oh? Why don't you just surrender quickly?" Liu Fang said sharply.
Qi Zhen smiled casually, but she used spiritual communication to speak to Liu Fang.
"Sir, if we start a fight in this situation, I'm afraid it won't look good on your face. How about we each take a step back?"
When Liu Fang heard this voice that sounded deep in his heart, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression quickly returned to normal.
Qi Zhen said loudly: "I have no intention of being disrespectful to your Majesty and the King's law. I am grateful for the clear law of heaven and my conscience is uneasy. Please allow me to enter the hall to speak."
"Ahem... Since you have the intention to repent, and I am not an unreasonable person, the rope binding can be dispensed with. You can come in and talk." Liu Fang said lightly, then turned and returned to the main office.
"Hey, if the games were so simple, how easy it would be for us." Yu Liang sighed.
The group of people followed Liu Fang into the lobby, and the accompanying soldiers began to disperse the crowd of onlookers and slowly closed the door.
Entering the main hall, Mr. Liu Fang sat high in the hall, looking at the wanted criminals who had appeared countless times in the portraits, feeling that his life safety was really not guaranteed.
I just said that having twitching eyelids today is not a good thing, and it turned out to be true.
"I am a serious Jinshi, and I respect the court's laws. Please don't mess around."
Liu Fang was the first to speak, but his voice was trembling.
"Master Fu Yin, don't be nervous. In fact, we are not surrendering. We just said that we are surrendering, so that you can better appease the people." Qi Zhen said with clasped fists.
"Then what are you doing here?" Liu Fang asked doubtfully, feeling even more frightened.
Qi Zhen didn't waste any time and told Liu Fanghe everything that happened after the team arrived in Suzhou Mansion.
By the time this story was finished, it was already noon.
"...There should be a decree from the imperial court soon, so Mr. Liu Fang need not worry."
Liu Fang did not interrupt Qi Zhen's speech, even though these things seemed to him a bit fanciful.
Is Liao Xunli a cultivator of immortality? Zhao Xuance is dead? Only half the battalion of soldiers in Yuemeng Mountain is left? Is King Xiangli a demon? Was he killed by Shushan Sword Immortal with one sword? Mulberry Snake turned into a mountain god?
What a mess this is! ?
Master Liu Fang's mind is a little confused.
Qi Zhen took out Zhao Xuance's token and placed it in front of Master Liu Fang.
Liu Fang remained silent, looking at Qi Zhen and his party, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He already believed it in his heart, because Qi Zhen had no motive for lying to him, but he had to digest many things slowly.
"In three days, the annual Suzhou Embroidery Competition will be held. Do you know what this means?" Liu Fang asked.
"Excuse me, sir," Qi Zhen said.
Liu Fang stopped talking. He arranged for Qi Zhen and others to stay temporarily in Suzhou Fuya. Qi Zhen thought about it and did not reject Liu Fang's proposal.
One day later, all the soldiers in Yuemeng Mountain retreated.
Two days later, the soldiers of Suzhou Prefecture began to perform their duties, and the lanterns of the Suzhou Embroidery Competition began to be hung on the streets.
The Suzhou Prefecture announced to the whole city that the Suzhou Embroidery Competition will be held as scheduled, and all garment shops and embroidery workers are requested to prepare.
Before nightfall, Suzhou Mansion received an urgent imperial edict from Liubaili.
On the third day, several thieves were arrested at an unnamed shop. The leader was named Zhao, and they were charged with illegal business operations, bribing officials, and murder.
Shopkeeper Zhao and some of his men, under the name of Zhao Xuance, actually followed Liao Xunli's instructions. On the day Li San went to ask them about Yuemengshan, they came to the house of the shopkeeper of Xingyi Shop and poisoned him. The shopkeeper and his family were killed.
The Suzhou Prefecture once again announced to the whole city that the use of Yuemeng silk was prohibited in this Suzhou Embroidery Competition. The criterion should be based on embroidery skills. Moreover, in this Suzhou Embroidery Competition, the imperial envoy accepted the summons from the imperial court temporarily and will not participate in this Suzhou Embroidery Competition. The selection work of the competition.
Zhao Xuance, the patrol officer of Suzhou Prefecture, died of illness.
Rich households in Suzhou, headed by He Bancheng, jointly issued a notice that the Suzhou Embroidery Competition should not only focus on hard work on embroidery, but also set up a special Su Embroidery Food Selection, jointly organized by wealthy households in Suzhou and major restaurants in Suzhou, inviting Suzhou people to taste and purchase at a discount.
For a time, the people of Suzhou Prefecture were dazzled by this series of outrageous operations.
As a result, the death of Zhao Xuance, the absence of the imperial envoy, and the news that the wanted order for Qi Zhen's team was cancelled, hardly caused any splash among the people.
Some of these diversionary matters were Qi Zhen's ideas for the Suzhou Mansion, and most of them were Lord Liu Fang's own ideas.
This made Qi Zhen feel that the governor of Suzhou was indeed doing a good job.
At noon on the fourth day, the whole city of Suzhou started celebrating in a peaceful atmosphere.
The agenda of the Suzhou Embroidery Competition is actually very simple.
In the square in front of the Suzhou Mansion, a temporary shack became the venue for the competition. The Suzhou Mansion, the Imperial Envoy, and local officials formed a judging panel. After the embroidery workers and embroiderers embroidered the fabrics, they were sent to the Suzhou Mansion Government Office, where the three parties jointly Judge and recommend the winner of the competition.
Different from previous years, this time the judging bench was also placed in front of the Suzhou government office, not inside the government office.
The Imperial Envoy was absent and there was one less referee, but a woman found from nowhere took the Imperial Envoy's place.
No one could recall from her face a certain face on the wanted portrait.
As the person with the highest artistic appreciation among the team, Meng Ran is no stranger to Su embroidery techniques and acted very professional at this moment.
The Suzhou Embroidery Competition didn't end until the evening.
In the end, Xingyi Studio still won the championship in the Suzhou Embroidery Competition, and Yiyuanzhai still only came in second place.
The shopkeeper of Yiyuanzhai was a little unhappy and felt that there must be something behind this.
What the shopkeeper of Yiyuanzhai didn't know was that although the shopkeeper of Xingyi Shop was Zhao Xuance's eldest brother, there was another person who owned the shop.
The shopkeeper of the clothing store thought that the owner was He Bancheng, but in fact, He Yuanwai had found a reason to give this property to the wife and brother of Mr. Liu Fang, the governor of Suzhou, two years ago.
So in the final analysis, Xingyifang is still an official businessman of Suzhou Prefecture.
Yiyuanzhai naturally has no way to compete with it.
The vigorous food appreciation has begun again. To celebrate this good day that the whole city celebrates together, Suzhou Governor Liu Fang specially announced that Suzhou City will cancel the curfew today, which once again aroused the collective cheers of the people in Suzhou City.
The lights illuminated the entire Suzhou night sky.
When Qi Zhen and his party walked on the street, they didn't have to worry about being recognized by the people of Suzhou Prefecture under the lights.
And even if he recognized it, he would probably not be regarded as a monster like before.
Because I can't care.
It was also the first time that the team could walk on the streets of Suzhou City without feeling any pressure, just like ordinary people.
What happened was counterproductive. When they saw the three figures in front of them, Qi Zhen and others still couldn't believe their eyes.
Sang Yuan, Queen of Mulberry Snake, came to Suzhou Mansion with her two children.
Probably because Queen Sangshe became an immortal, the Sangshe clan no longer burned their bodies when exposed to direct sunlight, so the family of three actually spent a day strolling around Suzhou.
However, in order to avoid causing a commotion, all three people properly covered their faces to prevent them from being watched by the people.
Sang Ying's expression was the most excited. Even Sang Xiong was extremely curious about the human scenery.
Seeing Qi Zhen and his party, Sang Yuan and her children bowed deeply.
Qi Zhen hurriedly helped Queen Sang She up, saying nothing.
It turns out that after Queen Sangshe achieved the position of Earthly Immortal, she still had to communicate with the chief officials of the court about Feng Shui and luck. This also made Queen Sangshe, a mountain deity who had just ascended the throne of immortality, a bit at a loss.
A family of three came to Suzhou and found out that today was the Suzhou Embroidery Competition. Naturally, they couldn't hide their excitement. Sang Ying was clamoring to take a stroll around Suzhou City, so she wandered around until now.
