Anmo Shenpan is considered a good person. At least Loulan City was under his rule. He did not take bribes or engage in corruption or bend the law for personal gain. He was considered a very poor official.
Otherwise, after he was sent to Chang'an by Li Hong, his wife and An Xiaohe would have needed to open a teahouse to support themselves.
In the end, Li Hong still couldn't get through An Xiaohe, so he had no choice but to finish the tea slowly under An Xiaohe's beautiful eyes. Then he walked out of the teahouse, took An Xiaohe and Bai Qi, and headed for the city together. Go to the door.
The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. The two people walking on the street look like a pair of golden boys and girls, causing many people to turn their heads and look sideways, paying attention to the two people frequently.
But when someone saw the swaggering, held-up black wolf behind the golden girl, wearing black satin hair that shone brightly in the sun, they immediately knew the identities of the two people in front of them.
Li Hong's identity has never been known to outsiders. Now when everyone sees Bai Qi, they will know the Anxi Protector, but no one knows who the Anxi Protector is.
Loulan City also has two city gates, opening from east to west. Just after walking out of the inner city and a few steps into the outer city, I saw a middle-aged couple about forty or fifty years old, crying and walking towards the inner city. .
When he passed by Li Hong and others, he glanced at Bai Qi and stopped crying immediately. He just stared at Bai Qi tightly and refused to leave.
"Uncle, aunt, did Bai Qi steal another of your sheep?" An Xiaohe asked with smiles in his beautiful eyes.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes. He didn't know whether these people were the master's family today. He was carrying several families' sheep a day. How could he tell them clearly? Besides, who knows whether they are from today or yesterday.
"Yes, miss, the old man just went out today, and I heard a frightened cry in the sheepfold in the house. When I came out, I saw a black shadow dragging a sheep over the wall and ran away. Wuwu. Ugh... That's a ewe, and there's a lamb in her belly," the middle-aged woman said to An Xiaohe, wiping her tears.
Li Hong only curled his lips when he heard this, but he couldn't vent his anger. Who could let him be justified
But these people are so immoral. Everyone who comes to the gate of the Governor's Mansion crying and begging for compensation for the sheep all says that Bai Qi has taken away the ewe that is about to give birth, but Bai Qi always takes a male. Are sheep good
It is true that poor people come out of poverty. These people now know that the governor's government is generous. Regardless of rams or ewes, compensation will be based on the loss of ewes plus lambs.
"Oh, that wolf belongs to him. You can ask him for money. He is Bai Qi's master." An Xiaohe said helpfully, with a smirk on his beautiful cheeks.
After An Xiaohe finished speaking, as she expected, she immediately received a big eye roll from Li Hong.
So An Xiaohe continued to say to the aunt obediently: "He is the Chief Protector of our Anxi Protectorate. He is a very nice person, and he will definitely pay you double the price."
Li Hong turned his head, looked at the uncle and aunt, his eyes were full of hope, and said helplessly: "Go to the Dudu's Mansion to ask for it, I am penniless, and this must not be the first time for you to go to the Dudu's Mansion. If you ask for compensation, of course you know they will pay you no less, so go ahead.”
The uncle and aunt were a little confused. Looking at this kind-hearted young man, they didn't believe that this young man was already the chief protector of the Anxi Protectorate at such an age.
But looking at the beautiful woman next to them who was smiling like a fairy, the two of them still chose to believe what the beautiful fairy said.
Watching the uncle and aunt leave, Li Hong looked angrily at Bai Qi, who showed no sign of repentance, and said, "Can you not pick up the ewe next time? Is this female something easy to mess with?" Why don’t you have a long memory?”
"Criticizing mulberry and scolding Huaihuai! Who is not easy to mess with? Why am I not easy to mess with? If it hadn't been for you, would my mother and I have worked so hard, working from dawn to dusk, to open a teahouse to support ourselves? In the end, all of this was caused by you. ! You don't want to repent, do you still blame us?" An Xiaohe raised his fair neck and his beautiful chin was very charming.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. If you keep doing this, you won't want any of your tea leaves." Li Hong shook his head and continued walking forward.
There was a man in the house who looked sad and found out that he was really the mastermind behind the gang of thieves. He was heartbroken and couldn't go back.
Well, outside, I met this An Xiaohe who looked just like Bai Chun, with a face that made God hate him. He was really troubled both internally and externally.
There is a special house at the city gate where suspicious merchants' goods are stored. Naturally, there are people guarding the place, but they are all locals from Loulan City.
But after Li Hong got here, he didn't know which way to go. This kind of place would not come even in the summer solstice or light snow, and probably even in lawlessness.
Just when Li Hong and An Xiaohe were hesitating, the pervert began to get angry again. He was as familiar with the place as a regular customer, and began to lead the two of them around the rows of bungalows built with loess. With.
Bai Qi is a complete foodie, but for some reason, he can accurately find which house contains An Xiaohe's goods.
The two men and one wolf had just stood at the door, looking inside through the gap in the wooden window, when they heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind them.
The two of them looked back, and Bai Qi was also wary of its wolf eyes, looking at the dozen or so people running over quickly.
"Who are you?" the leader shouted.
Seeing a dozen people running towards here, An Xiaohe was a little nervous and said in a somewhat uneasy tone: "His name is Wei Tuqi. He used to be my father's subordinate, but now he is in charge of most of the warehouses here."
"What's in your warehouse? Why was it detained?" Li Hong ignored the dozen or so people who had already run more than thirty steps away from him, because Bai Qi was already standing in front of them, hunched over and smiling brightly. He showed his fangs and faced off against a dozen people.
"There are no contraband items. Some glass items are all ordered by you, Xiaoxue." An Xiaohe looked at Yu Tuqi who came out from behind a dozen people and stood still, hid behind Li Hong, and whispered said.
"Then why did he seize your tea?" Although Li Hong didn't understand why Yu Tuqi seized her tea, he understood why An Xiaohe let him come here today. What the heck, he was fooled by the little girl behind him. The gun was used.
This was to pull her over as a shield, and even hope that she could help her resolve the grudge between her and Yu Tuqi.
"How do I know he wants to seize my tea? He doesn't have good intentions anyway." An Xiaohe was very afraid of Wei Tuqi, but he didn't have a good face towards Li Hong, and said arrogantly.
"Hey... are you asking me for help?" Li Hong couldn't help but take a breath and asked.
"Then what's the matter? If it weren't for you, why would I be in this situation with my mother? Who else would you rely on?" An Xiaohe hid behind Li Hong, his straight nose wrinkled slightly, and he counterattacked coldly. .
"Are you two done yet? Why are you here? But you want to steal the goods privately?" Yu Tuqi's words smelled like mutton skewers. Unlike An Xiaohe, he spoke in straight Chinese.
"Call your people in charge." Li Hong looked at Wei Tuqi, who was about thirty years old, tall and strong, as strong as a yak.
"I'm in charge here. The things here can't be taken away by anyone without my permission." Yu Tuqi looked at Bai Qi and then at Li Hong, feeling a little guilty.
Bai Qi naturally knew that it was the wolf of the Protectorate of Anxi Protectorate, but who was this young man? He couldn't really be the Protector, right
When he thought of this, he thought it was impossible. Da Duhu imprisoned his father in Chang'an, how could he associate with An Xiaohe? An Xiaohe is now just a small commoner in Loulan City, and it is impossible for the Imperial Guard to pay attention to her.
"Since you are in charge here, tell me what items in An Xiaohe are prohibited." Li Hong turned to look at An Xiaohe, who was gradually calming down, and asked Wei Tuqi.
"You don't need to know this, you just need to know that her things are prohibited and cannot be taken away." Yu Tuqi couldn't figure out Li Hong's identity, and his aura was not as tough as before.
"Then how can we get these things back?" Li Hong asked.
"I can't take it back..."
"As long as An Xiaohe marries him, you can take it back." A person behind Yu Tuqi interrupted Yu Tuqi's words and said with a playful smile.
Li Hong looked at Yu Tuqi and smiled, understanding. No wonder An Xiaohe was upset when he asked An Xiaohe just now. It turned out that someone proposed to her.
"Aren't you willing?" Li Hong ignored the embarrassed Wei Tuqi and turned to ask An Xiaohe, who had a cold look on his face behind him.
"I want my tea." An Xiaohe said in a serious tone. She didn't even bother to answer Li Hong's questions.
But this Yu Tuqi went to his mother again and again, hoping that her mother would marry him.
His mother didn't agree either, so after a lot of back and forth, Yu Tuqi had his tea leaves confiscated, and this was not the first time.
The first two times, An Xiaohe came with his mother, and Tu Qi would give the goods to him as soon as he saw him.
But last time he went even further and told his mother that she could take the goods as long as she agreed to marry An Xiaohe to him. The mother and daughter had no choice but to give up on getting the goods back and go home.
If she hadn't met Li Hong today, An Xiaohe would have asked Bai Qi to take her to find Li Hong. Anyway, she was already very familiar with Li Hong, and her home was a neighbor of his Governor's Mansion.
Li Hong looked at An Xiaohe with a teasing smile in his eyes. It wasn't until An Xiaohe puffed out his white cheeks and reached behind him to pinch his waist that Li Hong turned back to look at Wei Tuqi.
