There are fireworks blooming in the night sky in the distance, because they are far away, so they can't see clearly, and the sound can only be heard vaguely.It was set off by rich households in Huangliang County, and they gathered in the sky over the most affluent area of ​​the county.

Most of the people in the surrounding villages had an early hot meal and rushed to the county town to watch the fireworks.For three days before and after New Year's Eve, the gates of the city are not locked, and you can enter and exit at any time.

The villagers of Dawei Village did not run to the county seat, because they knew that the fourteen families would also be released, and they were all waiting to see theirs.According to Xiao Qilang, it will be set off at midnight, and there are more than 100 rounds connected together.

Those people in the county bought one tube by one tube, and the most were nine or twelve tubes connected together.There are more than 100 pipes connected together, which is not much better than the county town!
Everyone was looking forward to it, especially the children, who had been running back and forth on the road connecting Xiao Zhai and Dawei Village since the sun went down, hoping to know the news that they were going to set off fireworks as soon as possible.

The boy who was on duty as the concierge today got Shisi's order, and prepared a lot of pastries and candied fruit. When he saw a bold child approaching, he gave them to eat.

Another group of four or five children came up, and the boy asked them to wait, and went in to get them food.

"what is that?"

"Like a fire dragon."

"Is it a torch?"

"Yes, there are many others."

When the boy came out with the tray, he saw them all looking away, discussing while watching.He also looked over, only to see a fire dragon swimming towards this side quickly.

The boy stared carefully for a while, and saw clearly that it was a long row of officers and soldiers in armor holding torches, and the first few were riding on horses.

In this new year, what are the officers and soldiers doing when they come out?While he was puzzled, he called the children to reach out and gave them food.

"wrong!"

"Snapped!"

The plate of the pastry fell to the floor, and the pastry collapsed into a large piece together with the broken china.

"Go back to the village!" The servant immediately shouted, "Hurry up and go home!"

"When are the fireworks going?" The children didn't know what happened.

"I'll call you when it's released, don't stay here now, go back quickly!" The boy drove them back, "Go back and tell your village official, let everyone stay in the village well, don't let people near here."

"Go!"

Only then did the children realize the seriousness of the matter, and the two who reacted the fastest took the lead, and then ran back one after another.

At this time, the fire dragon was approaching, and it was about to collide with Xiao Zhai.

……

As soon as Shisi came to the gate, he heard people outside shouting: "Officers and soldiers are here, open the gate quickly!"

The gate was opened, and dozens of torches illuminated the front of the gate as bright as day.

The person riding on the tall horse is none other than Meng Changhuai, the governor of Henan Province.

"Master Meng?"

"Miss Xiao."

Seeing Shisi coming out, Meng Changhuai got off his horse and led others forward.

Fourteen stepped out of the gate, and the two parties stood still outside the gate.

"On New Year's Eve, when the whole family was reunited, why did Mr. Meng come to Huangliang County? He brought so many soldiers and horses with him." Fourteen asked with a smile on his face.

"Miss Xiao, since you and I are old acquaintances, there is no need to go around the corner." Meng Changhuai said straight to the point, "I brought soldiers here today not to disturb, but to receive news that there is a person living in the lady's house. He's the one the government is looking for."

"Dare to ask my lady, is this serious?"

"What's more?" Fourteen asked puzzled, "All the people living in my house are my own family members, Mr. Meng must have found the wrong place."

Seeing that Shisi refused to admit it, the gentleness on Meng Changhuai's face faded: "Miss Xiao, if there is no definite news, why would I lead troops all the way from Longgu County at this time?"

"Although you and I are friends, we are here to work together. I hope Miss Xiao will cooperate and hand over that person quickly."

"Don't dare to call Mr. Meng friends." Fourteen said, "But I really didn't understand what Mr. Meng meant. I really only have my own family in my house, and never took in outsiders."

Seeing that fourteen oil and salt did not enter, Meng Changhuai's face turned cold: "Miss Xiao, I naturally know your ability, if you want to hide someone, I am afraid that five hundred of my elite soldiers will go in and search, and there may not be any results. "

So he didn't plan to go in to search at the beginning, but had people surround Xiao's residence, forcing Shisi to hand him over on his own initiative.

"But obstructing official duties is a felony."

"My lord, don't scare me." Fourteen said, "When did I interfere with official duties? Your lord came to my house for no reason and said that I had hidden someone the government was looking for, but I really didn't know. If you don't believe me, then I will no way."

"Miss Xiao, are you going against this official?"

"Don't dare, how dare a mere grassroots fight against your lord?"

"My lord, go in and search!" The lieutenant at the side lost his patience, "Since the person is inside, I don't believe it won't be found."

Meng Changhuai didn't speak.

The lieutenant yelled at Fourteen impatiently: "My lord praises you, don't you be ignorant!"

"Shut up!" Meng Changhuai immediately scolded him.

The lieutenant shut his mouth.

Fourteen One has the posture of whatever you want, neither excited nor cowardly.

"My lord, do you want to go in and search?" She was ready to give way, "If you want to go in, hurry up, it will be the New Year in less than an hour, and my family's food is still stuffed in the pot and I haven't had time to fill it out."

"Xiao Shishiniang." Meng Changhuai was annoyed, "Do you know what you are doing now?"

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. He did not believe that Xiao Shishiniang did not understand this truth.

"Little girl is really wronged." Fourteen said helplessly, "Master Meng, I also want to ask, what do you want me to do?"

"You..." Fourteen was playing a rogue, Meng Changhuai was anxious, annoyed and helpless, "Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"I……"

"My lord, please don't blame innocent people."

Suddenly a new voice appeared, and everyone looked towards the source of the voice.

I saw the door opened, and a man in white robe slowly walked out from inside.

Two steps closer, Meng Changhuai and the officers and soldiers behind him all saw his face clearly, and they were all secretly amazed.

"Meng Changhuai, my lower official, I greet...Your Majesty." Zuo Qiuyue came from a noble family, but she didn't have any specific title.Meng Changhuai was stunned for a moment when he was about to call out his title, and then he said "Lang Jun", which can never be wrong.

Zuo Qiuyue didn't look at him, but kept looking at Fourteen.

As soon as their eyes met, he knew she was angry.

Annoyed that he didn't keep his promise, he walked out from inside without authorization.

Zuo Qiuyue flattered her with his eyes, but got no response.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to worship me." After coming to the front and standing still, he said to Meng Changhuai, "Your Excellency has an official position, but I'm just white, so I can't be an adult to worship."

"Also, Mrs. Xiao didn't tell the truth to the lord. She was coerced by me and she did it as a last resort. I hope the lord will not blame you."

Everyone present knew that he was talking nonsense, and then Meng Changhuai said kindly: "Yes, I naturally understand that Mrs. Xiao is innocent and will not blame her. Please don't worry, sir."

"Since Mr. Lang has come out, let's go with the next official. God has been looking for you for several months, and now I finally found you."

"Tonight happens to be New Year's Eve, can you let me spend New Year's Eve here before leaving?"

"..." Meng Changhuai was a little embarrassed, he was afraid that Fourteen would play tricks again.

"My lord, please don't worry." Zuo Qiuyue saw his thoughts, "Since I have come out on my own initiative, I will naturally not run away, I just want to spend New Year's Eve here. I hope you will be accommodating. This kindness must be kept in mind by Zuo San."

Meng Changhuai didn't even dare to say anything, he had already talked about this point, what else could he say?
Although this person has no power or power in his hands, and he doesn't have a strong sense of presence among the phoenixes and grandchildren of Shendu, he is also a serious royal blood.Meng Changhuai is not a short-sighted person, of course he will not despise Zuo Qiuyue just because of his current situation.

He didn't say no, it was equivalent to acquiescing.
