Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang Vol03 Ch67

Qierou, Yun Chang The city was still on the peaceful side The peasants didn’t know their little town had become the prey of the Duke of Zhen-Bei as they continued their daily lives

The Governor’s accu

None of his subordinates found it difficult to find that those tere creating trouble everywhere, deliberately trying to find fault with the Governor bytheir foul stench into Qierou Even mud had a temper and the Governor’s ability to bear until noas still considered an a feat itself

“They caain?”

“Yes” His subordinates were rather unco them away, they would return the next day”

The corners of Fanlu’s twitched, his gaze flickering backwards

Dujing hurriedly stepped forward, bending down to report, “The silver has been sent according to Sir’s instructions”

Sigh, those two had far too much of an appetite

Though it was to be expected, who told hi one of Senior Official Gui’s people? The Gui fa by the others Otherwise, there was no way he’d be held down so miserably by these two officials

Even his clerk’s eyebrows drooped considerably Quite a lot of the strands in his goatee had snapped too

“Sir,” his subordinate suggested, “those two only refuse to go because they see that our Qierou has a bit of wealth I heard last tiave thelee I reckon…”

Fanlu coldly harrumphed “Chicken-heart sized red rubies? Where are we to find chicken-heart sized rubies for theiven them quite a lot of money”

Dujing stood beside Fanlu, hesitating

Fanlu pulled a face, while the good natured subordinate backed away

“Sir, it’s actually quite si stepped forward, his eyes narrowed as he said, “Sir eh Qierou is a small city, there are still a feealthy families, so thereand Sir Pu Sheng”

Fanlu’s expression changed, “You want me to extort peasants out of their family heirlooms?” He had been trained in the army as an expert spy so he could readily kill or set fires, but he had never once thought about extorting peasants

Dujing wryly sree, that’s why I never said it But Sir, this Sir Pu Guang and Pu Sheng staying here isn’t a good plan either What if you really do annoy theo back to the capital to rattle off to the Prince Consort Sir will be in a lot of danger They’re also on very good ter

Fanlu felt a sensation like he had just taken a whole mouthful of lard He frowned, “Who would freely hand over their priceless ancestral heirlooms? I’m afraid on’t be able to buy it either”

Dujing frowned, his expression looking very upset “We don’t mean to do evil; it’s really only to protect ourselves You are a governor, holding all of the lives of the peasants in your hand Isn’t it quite si to think for Sir”

Fanlu felt incredibly uncomfortable

Being the governor of this rubbish city wasn’t cool at all Ever since He Xia gained all the power, each day got harder than the day before He even went as far to think that it would’ve been better if he stayed in the ar a lowly spy

But as the various forces of Yun Chang clashed, every single Gui party’s lives had been at stake, just the slightest mistake would attract afor trouble?

He wasn’t exactly a sincereabout it, he clenched his teeth and nodded “Let’s do that then I just don’t knohich family treasure will satisfy them”

Seeing hihed in relief He quickly answered, “No need for Sir to feel distressed over I have already prepared a list” He took out a scrap of paper from his sleeves, opened it and started to read

A cabinet officer hurried through the door, reporting, “Sir, those two generals have returned”

“Welcome them into the htly furrowed as he turned to Dujing, “Don’t bother, just choose soone as soon as possible The food supply teao outside the city to deal with theh, I won’t be able to see theusting faces” He took the light crossbow that never left his side off the table and slipped through the back hall He left behind a s who actually had a headache He then went to attend to those insatiable Sirs at the main entrance

Zuiju was in the rear of the residence Now that she could freely walk around the Governor Residence, her freedo out, so her boredo all sorts of herbs from the corners of the courtyard

Seeds had been scattered not long ago, so only two or three tiny shoots popped out

She had a natural innate love of plants She carefully applied fertiliser to each one of theain

The familiar cabinet officer ca outside the city and is afraid that he ht not be able to make it back in time, so that you can eat yourself”

Zuiju replied, “Ok”, rather unenthusiastically

That Fanlu, when he was in front of her, she was dying for him to disappear as soon as possible, but when he wasn’t, she felt a little gloomy

“Just take the dinner to my room”

Dinner was served; Zuiju sat alone facing the shadows casted by the candle She jabbed a few dishes with her chopsticks, losing her appetite

It seeain It was really quite disquieting the way they come every so often

Thinking of food supply for the army, she couldn’t help think of her Teacher whose whereabouts were unknown, and Pingting whose soul was lonely Zuiju felt evenimprinted on the wall

She put down her chopsticks, the corners of her eyes reddening

With that hateful Fanlu around, although he always angered her until her teeth itched, she would never feel so sad like now

Zuiju raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears when she suddenly heard laughter floating through the s There were both led before singing ato the door and happened to see one of the passing ain? They’re so noisy”

TheSirs They’re here again Advisor Du has sent for a prostitute called Chun so him while he drinks”

Zuiju knew those two sucked up to He Xia to gain his favour and created all sorts of trouble for Fanlu She was quite disgusted by theht that even if she returned into the room, the noise would be irritable so she si towards the pavilion at the rear of the residence

She arrived at the pavilion and the evening breeze greeted her, much more comfortable than expected Zuiju’sover when Fanlu returned when she suddenly heard footsteps from behind Her heart lifted and she blurted, “You evil ed considerably

The potbellied Pu Guang had drank quite a lot in the guest roo had pulled the prostitute Yingchun down, ready to go out it, he thought that he ht as well pull the one called Guihua down the stairs and look for another rooht

But he had unexpectantly drank too much After a few stops he dizzily stuone when he turned back The sky had already darkened as he stu by this little pavilion

Then he suddenly heard a woman’s clear and crisp voice “You evil man, finally back?”

Pu Guang raised his head The woman quietly sat there under the ht he’d strucked lucky and began to pervertedly s I’ll pleasure you so much that you can die happy…” With all his drunkenness, he rushed forwards, touching those tender little hands, pressing forith his ugly face

Zuiju hadn’t had her guard up Only until he’d touched her did she scream, “Kyaa” She leapt up to her feet fro onto the ground

The places her hand touched felt disgusting Zuiju had been with her Teacher since childhood and had always been treated with respect Apart from the damn Fanlu, there hadn’t been any otherthat er cool, she went closer and slapped hi a “paah-paah” sound

She was a woman and didn’t slap people very often, so her slaps weren’t that strong

Pu Guang had suffered the two light slaps, but he didn’t leave He drunkenly stepped forward again He sive it to rant hands and I’ll give you a meatstick to eat”

Zuiju had never heard such things so she was stunned, not knohat he was talking about She had yet to open her mouth when a sharp arrow broke the wind The whoosh directly hit Pu Guang’s chest

The arrow ca’s eyes bulged out for a le sound as his body fell towards the floor, below Zuiju’s feet

Zuiju was taken aback She abruptly took a step back, her back crashi+ng into what seemed like a person’s arms She looked back in dished in relief “It’s you…”

It was strange, but she felt relieved

Fanlu’s expression was extre ti Zuiju’s arms as he pulled her forward

Zuiju was stu?”
