Lian'er's thoughtful arrangements for Qiucao naturally made Qiucao very happy. This time Lian'er returned to Nanyang and asked Qiucao to accompany her. Qiucao's medical skills have greatly improved after receiving Hongxing's guidance. Qiucao was overjoyed to be able to follow Lian'er this time. In addition, Lan Xing's maid is picturesque, and the three of them are in the back garden, playing with herbs and practicing martial arts.
Lian'er woke up just now and was startled when she saw it was a beautiful scenery instead of flying clouds. Lian'er knew that Meimei was basically attached to Feiyun, so she immediately stood up and said that her strength was exhausted, and asked Meimei to go and accompany Feiyun as soon as possible. Seeing Lian'er's face glowing red and full of energy, Mei Ming finally felt relieved.
Lian'er urged Meimei to leave and went to Qiucao and Fang Ming to ask them to continue practicing with her. The two people were chatting in the room when Lian'er walked in and explained her purpose. Fang Ming agreed and took Qiucao to the back garden. Lian'er had been waiting for a long time. Although Fang Ming's martial arts is not as good as Tianxiang and others, it is more than enough to teach Lian'er! After Mei Ming finished speaking, she told Feiyun not to worry.
At this time, the new Jiedushi Gao Qiong sent someone to invite Feiyun and the others to the lobby, saying that they had something to discuss. Feiyun did not dare to neglect and hurriedly came to the lobby with a good time and beautiful scenery. When I went in, I saw Gao Qiong and his wife, Princess Changping and Magistrate Wang sitting inside.
Feiyun greeted everyone and asked, "My lords, I wonder if there is something to discuss!"
Gao Qiong replied: "Young Master Lin, please sit down first. I want to ask your opinion on a few things!"
Feiyun replied: "The Lord Marquis will speak frankly. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best!" Although Gao Qiong is the governor, unlike Feiyun who holds the gold medal and has the right to kill first and then report.
Feiyun then asked Feiyun what should be done with Niu Ba and his son. Feiyun thought for a while and said: "According to their behavior, it is not an exaggeration to kill them in public. But since they have some connection with the emperor, let's spare their lives for the time being. I think they should truthfully report their misdeeds to the emperor. , send someone to escort them back to Beijing and hand them over to the emperor. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Gao Qiong was originally worried that Feiyun would kill Niu Ba and his son immediately. If the emperor missed his old relationship, he would naturally not blame Feiyun who did not understand officialdom, but would only blame himself for not persuading Feiyun. At this moment, after hearing Feiyun's words, Gao Qiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed. In this way, you save yourself the trouble. If Feiyun and Princess Changping leave Nanyang, he will have to deal with the gangsters. He has already called his daughter Gao Yanmei in the capital to come and help him.
Then Xu Zhitang came in and reported that the general gangsters had been interrogated, and what should be done with the main gang leader in the gambling house. Feiyun believes that these people have done many evil things and should be executed in public to serve as a warning to others. Gao Qiong immediately ordered the prefect to post a notice to the whole city that the execution would be carried out at 3:00 noon tomorrow.
But Liangchen said: "Master Hou, wait a minute! The little girl thinks that the list can be published tomorrow, but it is not too late to execute the person after three days! At the same time, the names of Niu Ba and his son should also be added, so that the Dragon and Phoenix Sect will not be fooled!"
Gao Qiong looked at Liangchen in surprise and asked urgently: "Miss Liangchen, what do you think?"
Liangchen replied: "Most of the people in the gambling house have been captured or killed, but one fish that slipped through the net is Fan Sheng, the coach of the gambling house. Since Niu Xiong has been sent to Yanyu Restaurant, he has become a prisoner. Because yesterday During the war, Fan Sheng was imprisoned. At this time, he should have surrendered to the Yanyu Restaurant or joined the Dragon and Phoenix Sect. Why don’t we use this opportunity to lure them out and catch them all in one fell swoop? "
Xu Zhi and Tang Xing reacted immediately and said: "What the girl means is that when they get the news, they will definitely come to rob the execution ground. Otherwise, the remnants of the gambling house will not really join the Longfeng Sect. We will ambush at the execution ground and take the opportunity to eliminate them." ?”
Liangchen nodded slightly and said: "I'm afraid we have to ambush not only at the execution ground, but also in the Yamen cells and on the way to the execution ground. For them, perhaps an attack halfway or a sneak attack late at night would be beneficial to them. After all, the execution ground is crowded with people. It’s daytime again. Even if they save people, they may not be able to escape easily! Therefore, after the announcement of the list, I would like to ask you all to strengthen the protection of key places in the city to prevent them from attacking in the east and distracting our strength! "
Xu Zhitang said with some disbelief: "They were just defeated in Wolong Mountain and fled. They probably don't have the guts to attack the Yamen. It is estimated that they are most likely to attack on the road. After all, they are locals and are familiar with the streets and alleys of the city."
Liangchen nodded and said: "Brother Xu is right, so we must be careful at all times. Of course, they may not dare to take action."
Mrs. Gao continued: "Whether they come or not, we always have to be careful."
Liangchen thought for a moment and then said: "To prevent unexpected events, my eldest brother will take Meimei and I out of the Yamen early tomorrow morning, but we will secretly keep the escort agency to rest during the day and patrol the city at night. In this way, maybe they will think We have left Nanyang. The power in the Yamen will be greatly reduced, and their courage will increase. What's more, there are two lotus messengers from Longfengmen who are also in the prison."
Gao Qiong said, "Wouldn't it be too hard for the three of you?"
Feiyun replied: "Master Hou, this trivial matter is not worth mentioning. It is summer now, and it is much cooler at night!"
Everyone discussed for a while and made careful arrangements before they dispersed. Feiyun was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Gao, saying that she had other matters to discuss with him alone. Feiyun had no choice but to signal Liangchen and Meijing to leave first, asking them to accompany Lian'er, and then he came to Gao Qiong and his wife.
Mrs. Gao asked Feiyun to sit down, and then said: "The princess has been spoiled since she was a child, so she is inevitably a little petty and willful. Today, she was rude. Young Master Lin, you don't want to be like her."
Feiyun said quickly: "Mrs. Gao, please don't say that, it won't offend me. I have known the princess for a long time, and I am quite familiar with her. She is just impulsive, and she actually has no ill intentions. . I will slowly reason with her when I have the opportunity in the future, and I believe she can understand my intentions."
After all, Gao Qiong and Mrs. Gao are elders and important ministers of the court. Feiyun had to give them face, so he spoke very tactfully. Mrs. Gao and Gao Qiong naturally know Princess Changping's personality. If it were anyone else, it would be a great honor to marry the princess.
Feiyun's statement made Mrs. Gao feel relieved. Madam Gao was naturally afraid that Feiyun would be disgusted with Princess Changping, so even if they could finally get married as ordered, the princess would inevitably be left out in the future. With the personalities of Tianxiang and Lianer, they are naturally more attracted to Feiyun. Princess Changping did not think of this. She always thought that she was of noble birth, which would inevitably make Feiyun, who was born in poverty, dislike her. Mrs. Gao also said that she would persuade the princess to correct her willful and coquettish shortcomings as soon as possible.
Feiyun talked to Gao Qiong and his wife for another while, then left and went to the back garden. Good time, beautiful scenery, Fang Ming and Qiucao were talking to Lian'er. When Feiyun arrived, Lian'er asked to go out with him tomorrow. Feiyun glanced at Liangchen and knew that this must be her idea, and she wanted to spend more time with Lian'er. Feiyun secretly thought that this was a way to give Princess Changping a blow and let her know what kind of people she liked to get along with.
Feiyun made up his mind and agreed immediately. Lian'er danced with joy, flew over and hugged Feiyun. Feiyun was shocked and quickly reminded her that there were many people around her. However, he could tell from Lian'er's movement that her internal strength had improved somewhat. When Lian'er heard this, she realized what was happening. Her cheeks immediately turned red and she let go of Feiyun.
Liangchen joked: "Sister Lian'er, I really didn't expect that your Qinggong is so powerful. I admire you! I admire you!" Lian'er blushed and lowered her head in silence. She knew that Liangchen was very sharp-tongued, and even if she had ten mouths, she would not be able to speak to her.
Seeing that Liangchen was teasing Lian'er, Meimei couldn't bear it. After all, Lian'er was her savior, so she said, "Liangchen, you should stop teasing her. If our doctor girl gets angry and gives you stomachache for three to five days, you can Oh no!"
Liangchen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the beautiful scenery was a warning to him not to go too far. If Lian'er randomly took some medicine, he would be unable to take it and walk around.
Liangchen hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Lian'er is known as a medical woman, so of course she has the heart of a Bodhisattva. How can she be as chicken-hearted as you? Sister Lian'er, do you think so?"
Lian'er also knew that Liangchen loved to joke, and with her kind-hearted and gentle personality, of course she would not hold a grudge against Liangchen, so she said, "Sister Meimei is just joking. I know that you are lively by nature, and it's not too late to like you, so how can I hold a grudge against you!"
Under Lian'er's careful treatment, Fang Ming's injuries had long since healed, and he said, "Brother Lin, I also want to go out with you and help you."
Feiyun shook his head and said: "Brother Fang, if you follow me, it would be inappropriate for Miss Qiucao to be here alone. You should stay and accompany her! She will be taking care of you during this time. , you should also repay one or two."
After hearing this, Qiucao's face turned red and said: "Brother Lin, if Brother Fang wants to go, just let him go with you. I won't be bored, I just happened to be helping Sister Lian'er take care of her herbs. But in the future, you have to Teach me martial arts and say you can help me in the future.”
Feiyun smiled and said: "Don't even think about helping, but it is necessary to learn a few moves to defend yourself. I want Brother Fang to stay because I want him to teach you martial arts." Seeing that Feiyun had already thought about it, Fang Ming could only agree. . Qiucao was naturally beaming, extremely happy, and thanked Feiyun.
Early the next morning, Feiyun, Scorpio King, Lan Xing, Liangchen, Meili, Lian'er, Phoenix, and Ruhua took some time to tidy up before saying goodbye to Gao Qiong and his wife. Princess Changping happened to be present, and she already knew Liu Shui's plan. Now that her anger had subsided and she was taught a lesson by Mrs. Gao, she said softly: "Brother Lin, my little sister will go with you, okay?"
Feiyun saw Princess Changping's sudden change of attitude and knew that Mrs. Gao's education had played a role. Feiyun thought for a while and said: "Your Highness Princess, if you leave, the strength of the Jiedushi Yamen will be insufficient. It is better for you to stay here. Anyway, it will only be a matter of two or three days. Once the matter is over, I will come back and take care of myself." What do you think about accompanying you?"
