Being a Lady of an Influential Family

In the early morning, the sky was not yet bright, but Governor Fu had already got up early. Han Ran came in from the outside and stood in front of the desk. Governor Fu looked up at him, "Leaving?"

Han Ran nodded and said, "Yes, the warlord. The young master has already set off just now, and this is what the young master ordered his subordinates to hand over to the warlord before he left."

Han Ran offered a sealed document bag with both hands.

Governor Fu took it over and snorted softly, "Does he have no legs? Didn't you know he would bring it here himself?"

Han Ran twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "The young master said that the governor is still angry, so he probably doesn't want to see him."

"..." Just yesterday, he scolded Governor Fu who didn't want to see his unfilial son.

Governor Fu opened the file bag with a stiff expression and took out the contents. It wasn't too thick but had more than a dozen pages, and many of them were written in brand new handwriting, which was obviously written by Fu Fengcheng last night after staying up late.

Governor Fu frowned and flipped through the documents in his hand, the anger on his face gradually faded and his expression became more serious, "Did he say anything else?"

Han Ran shook his head and said, "No, the young master only said that he will discuss with the warlord in detail after the matter in the Southwest."

Governor Fu raised his hand and rubbed his temples, thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to Long Xiao, saying that labor and management invite him to drink."

Han Ran was taken aback, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Young Master Long is about to leave the four northern provinces, and Governor Long may not be available for the appointment."

Governor Fu said, "This is something Long Xiao needs to consider, go and post it."

Naturally, Han Ran couldn't say anything more, and immediately responded, "Yes, the warlord."

Han Ran backed out respectfully, and Governor Fu lowered his head and continued to look at the things in his hands. After a long time, he sighed and cursed in a low voice, "This bastard!"

Jiazhou Governor's Mansion

Leng Sa leisurely sat on the main seat with a cup of tea and looked at the people in the hall. The atmosphere in the whole hall was a bit too quiet.

In addition to the former generals and officials of the Jiazhou Army, those present are the most famous wealthy merchants and gentry in Jiazhou City.

The reason why they gathered at the Governor's Mansion was also very simple. Song Boang killed a senior general of the Jiazhou Army two days ago. The Jiazhou army had suffered a lot of damage and casualties in Qu Jing's hands before, but now Song Boang killed a senior general and there were not many left.

These local people in Jiazhou will inevitably panic, wondering if Leng Sa is making room for people from the six southern provinces.

They didn't take the lead in attacking Leng Sha and were not in a hurry, they sat calmly on the main seats and drank tea.

On the lower right of her were Song Boang, Jiang Yu and Shang Feiyun. As for Fu Yucheng, although he was also honored to attend, he could only stand on the side as a guard.

Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Mrs. Fu, shouldn't I give everyone an explanation for the shooting of General Ma by General Song?"

Song Boang raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to stand up after putting down his teacup.

But before he could move, he heard a soft bang, and Leng Sa put the teacup on the table and said coldly, "An explanation? Hasn't the explanation already been given? What else do you want to explain? Do you think Ma Gui Shouldn’t you be killed for what you did, or do you suspect that the evidence given by General Song was falsified and the Fu family wronged him?”

"This..." an old man in a long gown who looked like a scholar said, "Even if...General Ma made a mistake, he did something to protect Jiazhou City. It would be too much for General Song to execute him without asking questions. It's too impersonal."

Song Boang said coldly, "Military law is like a mountain, where can we get favors?"

"That's not what you said..." Someone wanted to say something, Leng Sa said indifferently, "It's my intention to execute Ma Gu, and you don't have to make things difficult for General Song."

"..." There was silence in the hall, and the word disbelief was clearly written on many people's faces.

In the eyes of many people, this Mrs. Fu is probably a beautiful decoration placed by the Fu family in Jiazhou City. Most of the things in Jiazhou City are decided by Song Boang. In fact, it is true that Song Boang issued most of the orders, whether it was the reorganization of the Jiazhou Army, the government affairs in Jiazhou City, or even the post-war and post-disaster matters in Jiazhou.

I haven't seen this young lady do anything serious.

Leng Sa didn't care about these people's thoughts, but said: "I also want to remind you about General Ma's matter. Everyone is on their own now, and it's not good to hurt the peace. The young master promised you before, how did you do before?" How are you all, as long as you don't violate the law, the Fu family doesn't want to do unnecessary things to ruin their reputation."

That is to say, if they are unwilling to settle down, Ma Gui who just died is a lesson for them.

Looking at the young woman who was speaking slowly in front of them, many people present couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.

Because they could feel that the young lady of the Fu family was saying these words very seriously, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became more dignified.

Leng Sa didn't seem to notice it, and continued to smile and said: "By the way, Mr. Cao, Mr. Sun."

Two people in the seat got up, "What advice does Mrs. Fu have?"

Leng Sa said, "Before Jiazhou Dashui, Cao and Sun's shops in various parts of Jiazhou generously donated food to the people, and they have been actively helping people everywhere to restore their lives. It is really a family of goodness, and Leng Sa admires it the most. "

The two hurriedly said, "We were also born in Jiazhou and grew up in Jiazhou. We are able to have a small family thanks to the kindness of the elders in Jiazhou. Now it's our duty to repay one or two. I don't dare to be my wife's absurd praise."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "The warlord appreciates the two Gaoyis very much, but it is a pity that he cannot come to Jiazhou in person. The warlord personally wrote the book "A House of Goodness" to thank the two Gaoyis, and will also give the two Nanliu Provincial Medal of Honor."

There was an uproar in the hall, although this reward seemed to be nothing practical, but in fact it was really valuable.

Although these wealthy businessmen love money, money is also the easiest thing for them to get. What they really want is exactly what money may not be able to buy.

Now that Jiazhou has suddenly changed hands, it is time to find a way to reconnect. The Sun family and the Cao family got in touch with the Fu family first by mistake, and even registered with Governor Fu. This kind of luck... Many people can't help being envious and jealous.

Both Cao and Sun naturally understood this truth, and thanked Leng Sa happily despite everyone's envious and jealous eyes.

Governor Fu was far away in Yongcheng, and First Young Master Fu obviously didn't have time to deal with these things. This honor was obviously won by Mrs. Fu Young Master in front of them.

Although they did sincerely help the people of Jiazhou at the beginning, who would be unhappy if they could get benefits after doing good deeds?

"Thank you for the Warlord's kindness, and thank you, Young Madam."

The hall was quiet for a while, but the atmosphere was a little different from before.

The faces of the generals were still not very good, but those wealthy businessmen and gentry had already turned their minds to other places. Of course they knew what the Fu family meant by bringing out the Sun family and the Cao family, but they also knew that their arms couldn't twist their thighs and they didn't intend to fight hard with the Fu family. Now that the Fu family had expressed their attitude, they didn't plan to kill the donkey and they naturally went down the steps.

The next topic naturally turned to disaster relief and reconstruction of Jiazhou. Everyone was very enthusiastic and expressed their willingness to donate generously.

Leng Sa was also very satisfied, and it was another feast for the host and guest.

Coming out of the Governor's Mansion, several generals left first.

Several wealthy local merchants in Jiazhou walked together and did not forget to congratulate Cao and Sun, but there was inevitably a bit of sourness in their words.

An old man with gray beard and hair couldn't help but sighed, "We underestimated Mrs. Fu, no wonder Fu Shao and Fu Dujun let her stay in Jiazhou at ease. The future generations are fearful, the future generations are fearful."

There are also people who are not quite enlightened, "Old Zhu, what do you say?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "Could it be that you forgot what we said to Mrs. Fu just now?"

"Isn't it just donating money and materials to rebuild Jiazhou?" Although it costs money, it is not all beneficial to them.

"With such a statement, those members of the Jiazhou Army...can you trust us again? Did you not see the expression on the faces of those who just left?" Without the support of the military, they would have no money to make trouble with the Fu family.

The person who spoke was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

So, where did the rumor that Mrs. Fu was not good at socializing come from? It's not that people are not good at socializing, but they don't want to socialize at all, right?

Seeing his dull expression, Mr. Sun, who had just benefited from it, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "There is no need to be so depressed. The Jiazhou Army is already out of control. Are we going to follow them all the way to the dark?"

The reason they followed was not to seek justice for the dead one, but to test the attitude of the Fu family. Since Mrs. Fu's young lady had handed over the pole, they naturally wanted to climb up. Everyone takes what they need, and there is nothing to say about consensuality.

"All the benefits have been taken by the two of you, so it's only natural for you to say that." Someone said enviously.

"Haha, Jiazhou is remote after all. You might as well think about it. With the six southern provinces as backers, we will have more confidence in going out to do business in the future."

"...That's a good thing to say."

Although there is no obvious boundary for merchants, the taxation, business prosperity, policies and even public security in various places have a great impact on doing business.

Anxia's famous businessmen today are either from the six southern provinces or the four northern provinces or the capital city. Isn't it all because the resources and contacts in these places are not comparable to their small places?

If Jiazhou is merged into the six southern provinces in the future, it will be more convenient for them to do business.

After seeing off these people, Leng Sa lazily leaned back in the chair, sighed, "It's really tiring dealing with these people."

Jiang Yu looked at Leng Sa and smiled, "I think the young lady is very familiar with it, obviously very familiar."

Leng Sa shook her head, expressing that she didn't want to continue getting acquainted, turned her head to Song Boang and said, "General Song, the Jiazhou Army will have to work harder for you these few days."

Song Boang said with a smile, "Don't worry, young lady. Although there are some people who are not honest, most of the generals of the Jiazhou Army still want to be safe. It's just that the reorganization is a bit cumbersome, and I'm afraid it will take some time."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I'm relieved to have General Song's words. General Song doesn't need to worry. Someone will come to help in a few days."

Song Boang's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Governor is planning to send General Yao to sit in Jiazhou?" Yao Guan can be regarded as the third figure in the Southern Six Provincial Army besides Governor Fu and First Young Master Fu, so there is nothing to worry about if he is around of.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "General Song will know when the time comes."

While they were talking, the guards came in to report that Qu Jing woke up and wanted to see Mrs. Fu Shao.

Qu Jing attempted suicide that day but was also seriously injured. Although the doctor performed an operation on him in time to remove the bullet, he has been unconscious for the past few days.

At this moment, the guards came to report that he had woken up, so he was really awake. Obviously, Qu Jing's life was still very high, and he couldn't die right now.

Leng Sa thought for a while, then got up and said, "I'll go see him." Anyway, he was a famous general, since he couldn't die, he still had to deal with it.

As far as selfishness is concerned, Leng Sa thinks that it is better for Qu Jing to die. Qu Jing killed so many people in Jiazhou because the Liang family is almost dead. If Qu Jing does not deal with it, he cannot explain to Jiazhou.

But since he didn't commit suicide, he couldn't leave him alone, and Ren Nanyan even offered a real thing in exchange for Qu Jing's life.

It is a bit troublesome.

Qu Jing was still lying on the hospital bed unable to move, and seeing Leng Sa coming in, he didn't show much emotion on his face.

Qu Jing said lightly, "I never thought...the Fu family would save me."

Leng Sa said, "Mr. Ren made a deal with us before he died." Seeing Qu Jing's eyes move slightly, Leng Sa fixedly stared at him and said, "He hopes that the Fu family can keep you alive."

Qu Jing's expression changed slightly, the veins on his forehead bulged, and soon he let out a muffled grunt, showing a hint of pain on his face.

After a while, Qu Jing said in a hoarse voice, "It's not necessary, everyone is dead, and no one will know even if the Fu family doesn't fulfill the contract. Isn't it?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "That's true, but it's a pity... General Qu's shot was not very accurate, we can't make up two more shots."

Qu Jing said, "Qumou is not dead, what is Young Madam going to do now?"

Leng Sa said, "After General Qu recovers from his injury, I will trouble you to temporarily move to Yongcheng."

"Is it imprisoned?" Qu Jing didn't care, nodded and said: "Understood, thank you, Young Madam, for your mercy."

Leng Sa said: "The Fu family will not hide your news, and the future of General Qu is probably not up to the Fu family to decide." After all, Qu Jing is a traitor to the military headquarters in the capital, and the Fu family will not decide unilaterally what will happen to him in the end. Since he couldn't die, he had to face the trial that originally belonged to him.

"Of course... there is another way. In the future, there will be no such person as Qu Jing in the world. You can leave, and you will never set foot in Anxia's land again in this life." Of course, if there are still people chasing and killing people, the Fu family will not care. Young Master Fu promised not to kill Qu Jing, but that doesn't mean the Fu family has to protect him.

Qu Jing laughed lowly and said, "I thought, with the relationship between the Fu family and Governor Liang, you should wish to cut me into pieces."

Leng Sa said calmly: "That's not the case. I originally thought that the relationship between General Qu and Mr. Ren should make him feel ashamed."

Qu Jing was silent for a long time before he said calmly, "It turns out that Mrs. Fu came to see me because she was curious about this? Now that everyone is dead, it's not impossible for Mrs. Fu to know if she wants to know."

Leng Sa said, "All ears."
