Liu Xin was talking to her nursing home servant when she saw several people coming out of the inner courtyard. Wang Xiaohua was walking in the front. She was now wearing fine cloth and looked like a young lady from aristocratic family.

"Brother Liu Xin!" Wang Xiaohua heard the maid say that Liu Xin was here. She hurriedly walked out of the inner courtyard. She hadn't seen him for almost four months. She saw that Liu Xin looked more stable and confident than before.

"Xiaohua!" Liu Xin saw Wang Xiaohua's gentle and excited eyes, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He had been busy with the village affairs for a while, and he didn't even come to see Wang Xiaohua once.

"Brother Liu Xin, why are you here today? My father has gone to the county government office. I will ask him to come back now." Wang Xiaohua said and asked people to go to the county government office to find Wang Qingxun.

Liu Xin and Wang Xiaohua entered the inner courtyard and saw that there were many people here. Some maids were cutting clothes in the courtyard. Compared with the big family mansion, this was just an ordinary courtyard where many people lived.

"Brother Liu Xin, these two are the maids sent to me by the village. Are you injured when you go to the south this time?" Wang Xiaohua followed Liu Xin and asked him about going to quell the Yellow Turban rebellion.

"No, I have so many generals protecting me, how could I get hurt? There is a lot of land in your yard!" Liu Xin said when he saw that there was a large field in the middle of such a large yard.

"That's where sweet potatoes are grown. The sweet potatoes have been harvested and ground into powder. Why don't you go to the living room and sit for a while, and I'll have someone make tea for you." Wang Xiaohua saw someone cutting clothes in the yard and asked

Liu Xin entered the living room.

At this time, a fat white cat walked through the crowd, came to Wang Xiaohua and barked, and Wang Xiaohua picked it up.

The two entered the living room. Liu Xin drank tea for a while, but Wang Qingxun hadn't come back yet. Wang Xiaohua talked to him for a while, and the sense of familiarity between the two disappeared.

"Brother Liu Xing, I actually don't want a maid, but your mother gave it to me. She would definitely be unhappy if she knew I didn't want it.

I call this kitten Xiaobai. I have asked someone to make lunch. Do you want to go to my room and have a look." Wang Xiaohua and Liu Xin were sitting in the living room. She sat next to Liu Xin with a happy face.

.

Wang Xiaohua brought Liu Xin into her boudoir like a treasure. There was a dressing table in the inner room and a heated kang in the outer room. It was many times better than her previous hut in Buzhuang.

Liu Xin didn't care about so many rules. He listened to Wang Xiaohua telling her interesting things about herself. At this time, two maids were already standing guard outside the door, and Wang Xiaohua had no worries anymore.

The two get along very happily. Liu Xin and Wang Xiaohua have been engaged since childhood. Wang Xiaohua treats Liu Xin as an older brother. They used to talk about everything. Now that she sees Liu Xin doting on her as before, she feels that in her heart

Worries are gone.

The two chatted more and more happily, and Wang Xiaohua was getting closer and closer to Liu Xin unknowingly. At this time, Liu Xin heard footsteps outside the hospital, and the maid outside the door asked loudly, "Master!"

"My father is back!" Wang Xiaohua felt guilty and distanced herself from Liu Xin. Wang Qingxun had told her to pay attention to etiquette, but she had completely forgotten it when she saw Liu Xin.

"Liu Xin, you're here!" Wang Qingxun shouted as soon as he arrived at the door.

"Uncle Wang is back!" Liu Xin walked out of Wang Xiaohua's boudoir, and Wang Xiaohua followed him with small steps.

"There are a lot of things going on in the county government these days. This year's autumn tax collection is not half as good as last year. Everyone in the county government is busy with tax collection." Wang Qingxun said to Liu Xin.

"Yuan Gang invited all the wealthy families to the county government tonight. Does Uncle Wang know who he invited?" Liu Xin followed Wang Qingxun to the living room and asked him.

"Recently, Yuan Gang has not collected enough taxes to pay to the court, and has been angry for several days in a row. Although the Lu family is silent now, the background is there, and Yuan Gang does not dare to touch it. I only know that he invited a big family, the details

Yuan Gang didn't tell anyone else." Wang Qingxun said.

"Tonight's banquet may not be that simple. Yesterday I sent my soldiers into the city. Will you attend tonight's banquet?" Liu Xin asked.

"All the county officials are participating? Why...is there going to be chaos in this city?" Wang Qingxun asked in confusion.

"You must be on guard against others. Uncle Wang, please don't go to the banquet tonight. Give the county government a leave of absence and ask the nursing home to guard the gate. If there is any danger, I will send someone to rescue you in time." Liu Xin said.

"...Is it that serious? I will ask someone to go to the county government office to ask for leave later. I feel everything is normal at the county government office today." Wang Qingxun asked in surprise.

"If Yuan Gang doesn't collect enough grain taxes, the court will definitely not agree to it. Who knows if he will jump over the wall if he gets anxious. You'd better stay at home with peace of mind."

After Liu Xin said this, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but worry. She stepped forward and pulled Liu Xin's sleeve: "Then you don't want to go, okay?"

"I'm afraid it won't work if I don't go. All the big families have gone. If I don't go, I will only be isolated by everyone. You can rest assured at home with Uncle Wang. I will take the generals to the banquet. Even if there is danger, I can escape with my martial arts."

It's still okay." Liu Xin comforted.

We had dinner at Wang Qingxun's house at noon and accompanied Wang Qingxun in the afternoon. Wang Xiaohua talked all afternoon. After the banquet, he planned to ask Wang Qingxun not to go to the county government office.

For such a long time, Wang Qingxun has become familiar with all the big families, so staying in the county government office is of little use. It is better to run Liu Xin's shop in the city well, so that the relationship with the big families can be closer.

In the evening, Zhou Tai and Guan Hai arrived with the things Liu Xin had prepared. Liu Xin put a leather armor on under his clothes before going out.

Entering the inner city, we came to the gate of the county government office. The Zhuo County Sheriff's Mansion was not far from the county government office. A group of soldiers had already begun patrolling the streets.

Liu Xin glanced at Zhou Tai, he didn't need a team to patrol the city at night, and thieves generally didn't dare to enter the inner city, so 50 fully armed soldiers were needed.

Zhou Tai nodded to Liu Xin to reassure him. Liu Xin came to the gate of the county government office and was stopped by the guards at the gate. Liu Xin took out the invitation.

"The county magistrate has an order not to bring your entourage in!" The guards blocked the way between Zhou Tai and Guan Hai.

"This little brother, they all participated with me in suppressing the Yellow Turbans. How come they are deserving generals of our Zhuo County Rebel Army and cannot attend the banquet of the County Magistrate?

I have prepared some things and I want to present them to the county magistrate in person. I hope you can accommodate me." Liu Xin said as he took out a bunch of money and quietly handed it to the other party.

"Since he is a righteous man who suppressed the Yellow Turbans, please wait a moment!" The guard went back to the county office to inquire. After a quarter of an hour, he came out and let Zhou Tai and Guan Hai in.

Liu Xin was delighted. He was afraid that Yuan Gang might not know the strength of the first-class generals, or he might be trying to relax his vigilance. Liu Xin definitely didn't think that Yuan Gang just invited him to a banquet and was willing to let him into the circle of aristocratic families.
