Chapter 189: Giving Island

Chu Li sighed: "Second Miss is determined to enter Prince An's Mansion?"

"She has made up her mind, who can persuade her?" Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Tieying.

Xiao Tieying looked helpless: "I've tried to persuade you many times, but it's useless. People have been recruited. It's too late to say anything now!"

The marriage contract between King An and Xiao Shi is a verbal agreement, but it is the emperor and the Duke who are talking, and they are all golden words. Whether to obey or not is a tacit understanding between the two parties. One side can only obey.

Chu Li frowned and remained silent.

He can understand what the second lady is doing. The Duke of Yiguo is getting weaker and weaker, and the Duke of Renguo is marrying with the Duke of Huaiguo. They are pressing harder and harder, but the Duke of Yiguo is getting weaker and weaker. The marriage with Prince An's mansion can strengthen Yiguo. The morale of the government stopped its decline.

Xiao Tieying said: "Chu Li, alas..., this matter is difficult for you!"

He believed that Chu Li fell in love with Xiao Shi, otherwise he would never give up his life to save Xiao Shi twice.

Chu Li sighed: "It's up to now, let's try our best to convince the second lady, I'm really worried that she will enter the palace alone."

"Don't worry." Xiao Tieying snorted: "This matter can no longer be left to her, even if she refuses to agree, you will follow!"

Chu Li said: "Second Miss chased me back, and I couldn't resist."

"I'll write you a warrant." Xiao Tieying snorted, "Her words don't count!"

Chu Li nodded: "This is the best."

Xiao Qi cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Tieying, why did the elder brother go so early, he showed his toughness so early on, and let the matter go to this point, which provoked the people of Prince An's Mansion.

Xiao Tieying said: "Chu Li, take good care of the second sister, she is also hurting herself, you two..."

He shook his head as he spoke, feeling very sorry for Chu Li, too hard for Chu Li.

As an indomitable man, watching his beloved woman marry another man and having to go with her is indeed a kind of torture.

Chu Li was able to agree to this matter, he really endured humiliation, the overall situation is the most important, and he should be rewarded and compensated.

He turned his head and said: "Little sister, Chu Li is also in charge of the whole courtyard now, so give him an island."

Chu Li hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, you can't do it, but you dare not do it!"

Allocating an island alone is completely different from being in charge of the island. It is truly giving the island to oneself. Everything on the island belongs to oneself, and the Duke's Mansion has no right to interfere.

This temptation is great, but he doesn't want to leave Yuqi Island, living in Yuqi Island is like living with Xiao Qi, when he wants to see her, he can see her with the big round mirror, and his heart will be empty if he doesn't see her for a day.

If you lived alone on an island, it would be boring.

Xiao Qi frowned and pondered: "Well, it's good to give him an island."

Chu Li hurriedly said, "Miss!"

Xiao Qi said: "You can't stay on my island forever."

Chu Li smiled: "It's the most worry-free place for me to live in,... besides, the young lady is leaving the house soon, and Manager Su will follow her, so Yuqi Island can't be left unattended."

"That's true." Xiao Qi nodded lightly.

Xiao Tieying smiled and said: "In this way, I will give you an island, you can live in it, or you can live in Yuqi Island, as you like,...you can choose it yourself when you have time, and let me know which island you have chosen."

"Thank you, son." Chu Li no longer refused, this is indeed the highest reward from the guards of the Duke's Mansion.

He changed the topic: "How to deal with the matter about the Cangliang city guard?"

"Oh..." Xiao Tieying sighed suddenly: "It's very troublesome!"

"Why did the Wang brothers kill him?" Chu Li asked.

Xiao Tieying snorted: "This desolate city guard really deserves to die. His son robbed the civilian daughters, and his parents went to the government to file a complaint. Fortunately, he was thrown into prison and tortured to death. It's lawless!"

Chu Li frowned.

Xiao Qi snorted and said: "Brothers Wang's move is very satisfying, it's really..."

Chu Li said: "Since that's the case, don't say that he was killed in the memorial to the emperor, just say that he died of a disease, how about it?"

"Huh—?" Xiao Tieying stroked his chin: "This is a good idea, let's say it this way, and if you hand over Xiao Song's apology, the emperor must pretend to be confused."

"It not only saves the face of our Duke's Mansion," Chu Li said, "This is also a warning to the city guards. If they do anything wrong, we will not protect them!"

"Good idea!" Xiao Tieying said with a smile: "These guys control a city alone, no one restrains them, and they often act recklessly, and those in the martial arts are not swallowing their breath, we have to help block it, I am so tired, give them a Warning is best!"

Xiao Qi frowned and said: "This will also offend those city guards."

"If you offend, you will offend." Xiao Tieying snorted, "They dare not do anything!"

Chu Li said: "Miss, for these city guards, it is important to beat them, so that they have scruples, otherwise they will act recklessly, and the sky will be angry and people will complain, and it will be the reputation of our Duke's Mansion."

"Exactly!" Xiao Tieying slapped the table: "It's time to clean them up!"

Xiao Qi nodded slightly and said no more.

——

When Chu Li returned to the small courtyard, Xueling waited on him attentively, cooked a table of good dishes and served good wine.

She filled up the wine with a pot in her plain hand, then sat across from Chu Li, with a smile on her cold face: "My lord, have you caught the murderer yet?"

Chu Li took a sip of the wine and shook his head.

"Aren't they the Wang brothers?" Xueling said, "Did you catch him this time?"

Chu Li said: "They are the offerings of Duke Huai's mansion."

"Then we can't touch them?" Xue Ling snorted angrily.

Of course she knew how powerful the Duke's Mansion was. Her own son was safe and sound even if he killed the priests in the Forbidden Palace, let alone the city guard.

Chu Li nodded: "I can't move them."

Xue Ling pursed her red lips tightly.

Chu Li said: "Do you know why Wang Zhongzheng and Wang Zixu killed the guards of Cangliang City?"

He explained the reason of the matter.

Xue Ling's eyebrows were tightly frowned: "Being an official is dishonest and oppressing the common people, you deserve to die!"

Chu Li held a piece of beef into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Xue Ling snorted, "Then let's forget about it?"

"So what?" Chu Li said: "They all have their own reasons. Standing up for this kind of guy is always unfair, and it will also make these city guards unscrupulous. Besides, Huaiguo's government has also accepted softness. "

After he told the story, Xueling looked at him helplessly: "My lord, you have to come to such an offending thing!"

Chu Li smiled and said, "If I don't go, who will I go?"

"If Eldest Young Master goes there in person, Duke Song would not dare to go too far."

"That's not necessarily the case." Chu Li shook his head and said, "If the Duke of Song really embarrasses the Eldest Young Master in person, then the Duke's mansion will lose all face!"

"Song Guogong is really too much!"

"Human death and human affection are destroyed." Chu Li sighed: "He thinks that the Duke of the country is more dangerous than good."

"That's too chilling!" Xue Ling snorted.

Chu Li said: "There must be inside information, outsiders don't know, forget it, don't mention them, is there any major event in the mansion?"

"Everyone is talking about the marriage contract between Second Miss and An Wang!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "Everyone is very happy."

Chu Li frowned.

Xue Ling said: "King An's reputation is very good, and he is also the prince. Everyone thinks that he is the only one who is worthy of the second lady, and if the second lady is married, the Duke of Renguo will not dare to mess around again!"

Chu Li sighed secretly and nodded.

"Papa!" There was a knock on the door, and then Suru pushed the door open and came in, wearing an apricot-yellow blouse, with a flawless face.

She fluttered to Xiaoting: "Chu Li, Second Miss invites you over."

"Manager." Xue Ling stood up to greet him.

Suru waved her hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and took a cautious look at Chu Li.

Chu Li nodded and got up and walked out.
