"During this period, there were people patrolling outside day and night. The law and order in the city was very good, and there were no major cases." At a tea stall on the street, Liu Yishou was reporting work to Li Yi. "A floating corpse appeared in the river outside Zhangjia Village. It has not yet been identified. There are no missing persons in our county recently. People have been sent to investigate village by village..."
At another table a few steps away, three men were talking and laughing loudly.
"Have you watched the oiran contest these days? Miss Qiaoqiao and Miss Yiyi are fighting for a fierce battle. This year's leader may be one of them."
"Actually, there is nothing exciting about this competition. Last year's top ten oirans will still occupy more than half of the seats this year. What's more, no matter who is selected, we can only watch and not touch..."
"Hey, that's not necessarily the case. Cai and Cai, as long as there is anyone, even the leader, there may not be a chance to have a good time... Moreover, this year's oiran can't be touched, the old one should be touched, I don't know why, the group Yuyuan has been promoting Chen Miaomiao this year, and Fengqilou has even promoted a newcomer. You must know that both Zeng Zuimo and Gu Xiaowan were candidates for the top ten oirans last year. I am afraid that they will not be on the list this year. I don’t know the former oirans. , what does it taste like?"
…
…
As the three of them talked, they showed smiles that men could understand, and then they didn't know what they said. After the smiles became obscene, their voices also became quieter.
"My lord, my lord..." Liu Yishou said a lot, and found that the county captain didn't respond. When he looked up, he found that his face was expressionless, his eyes were wandering, and he was obviously absent-minded. He stretched out his hand in front of his eyes. Shaking.
"Well... what's the matter?" Li Yi came back to his senses, his eyes lost all confusion, and he looked at him and asked.
Liu Yishou secretly sighed in his heart, the county lieutenant has something on his mind, so what he said just now was in vain.
As a subordinate, I want to share Shangguan's worries, so I changed the subject and said: "There is no major event in the county government recently, but with the progress of the Oiran Contest, the city will become more and more lively at night, this subordinate feels that we should double the number of manpower."
"Well, just do as you said, and the others will be drawn from the people." Li Yi clapped his hands, glanced at the three people who were discussing enthusiastically, turned and walked down the street.
"My lord, be careful!"
As soon as he walked to the street, Liu Yishou suddenly yelled and grabbed Li Yi's arm. Li Yi was dragged by him and staggered. , Get off your horse quickly, horses are not allowed in the city, and offenders will get thirty sticks!"
There was a neighing sound from the front, and the young knight on the horse pulled the reins, and the steed raised its front hooves, splashed a cloud of smoke, and stopped quickly.
Li Yi frowned slightly. There were so many people in Fucheng that galloping horses were never allowed. The behavior of this person just now could have been brought back to draw thirty sticks.
If he hadn't been thinking about something just now, he wouldn't have been so close and didn't notice it.
"You are the catcher here, just right, take me to the Anxi county government immediately!" The knight on the horse didn't seem to care about Liu Yishou's words just now, seeing his clothes, he immediately raised his head and said arrogantly.
"If you don't get off your horse again, just lie down and go to the Anxi county government office!" Li Yi looked at him and said coldly.
Even Li Xuan didn't dare to gallop his horse recklessly on the street. This guy who doesn't know where he came from, wouldn't he have a stronger background than Li Xuan in Qing'an Mansion, right
"What are you!" Seeing that a frail scholar dared to threaten, a trace of anger flashed across the knight's face, he raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it straight at Li Yi.
"Bold!"
Liu yelled angrily with one hand, and slashed at the horsewhip. This guy dared to attack the county lieutenant. His Excellency is now a holy emperor, and he can be regarded as an official of the imperial court. Even if he hacked this guy to death, he would not be held responsible.
The knight moved quickly, and Liu Yi was always a beat behind. However, just when the whip was about to hit Li Yi, Li Yi snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the head of the whip, and yanked it violently. , the knight was dragged off his horse.
Before he could get up from the ground, Li Yi kicked him in the waist. The knight struggled for a while, and felt that his whole body was exhausted, and he couldn't even speak.
At this time, he no longer had the arrogance just now, and his face was full of horror.
"The horse is set in the city, with the intention of murdering the imperial court official. Take it back to the county government, with a staff of eighty, and take it into custody." Li Yi said lightly, and two police officers who ran over from a distance immediately carried the knight away. stand up.
Just now he used a secret technique that Ruyi taught him. Within half an hour, this embroidered pillow can't even use the slightest bit of strength.
Although Li Yi is not a master now, he has been trained by two top masters in his family. It is easy to deal with such a show.
"Yes!" Liu responded with clasped fists, and was shocked by the county lieutenant's such skill. After Li Yi left, his eyes, which looked like the knight's, immediately became fierce.
"Take him back!"
…
…
Just now I stretched my muscles and bones on the street a little bit, it was a small episode, Mingzhu's arresting power is still there, even if the magistrate's son made a mistake, the Anxi county's arresting officers will still catch it, no matter how background the other party is Strong, entered the county government, everything is done according to the law.
Even if the other party really has a background of Tongtian, he would not dare to make trouble afterwards, otherwise, it will only cause more trouble.
Of course, Lord Zhifu doesn't have a son, so if he whips that guy with a stick, Liu Yishou and the others won't feel any psychological pressure.
When I got home, I went to the yard and saw Ruyi throwing a stack of papers into the stove one by one.
Seeing Li Yi coming in, he said with a smile, "I received a few more invitations in the morning. My concubine probably won't go, so I simply burned them together."
Li Yi nodded. When he walked to the door of the room, he seemed to have thought of something. He paused slightly, and turned around and asked, "The invitations I received this morning... are...whose?"
Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Miss Lu Qiaoqiao from Yichun Building sent another letter, and that Miss Liu Yiyi sent two letters, and there were five hundred taels of silver, but they were returned by my concubine. In addition, Gu Xiaowan from Fengqi Building, Qunyu Courtyard..."
Li Yi's eyes lit up slightly.
"Miss Chen Miaomiao of Qunyu Courtyard, invite my husband to dinner tonight." Liu Ruyi thought he had changed his mind, and said apologetically, "I don't know about my husband's plan, so I shouldn't be so early..."
"It's okay, let's burn it if it burns." Li Yi smiled, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, and walked into the room.
"It's really hard to guess a woman's mind..." After walking back and forth in the room for a few times, after muttering a few words, he sighed, walked to the desk, and began to grind ink.
"Grandpa, let me come!"
Xiaohuan stood at the door and glanced inside, then trotted over immediately, and took the ink stick from Li Yi's hand.
Yang Liuqing has almost finished the work at home these days, if she saw it, she would definitely grab this from her.
I like to watch my uncle write and paint the most. Whether it is before or in the future, this position can only be my own...
The little maid thought in her heart.
