"I... I ran out by myself, you, don't tell our lady."
The girl named Xiaocui trotted away, seeing her disappearing into the alley, the words she said before leaving rang in Li Yi's ears again.
"What the hell is this woman doing..." Li Yi rubbed his eyebrows and murmured.
With her character, it is obviously impossible to give up on herself, so what is the reason for such inaction? It was Xiaocui who sneaked over, and he knew that Zeng Zuimo's situation had reached such a point.
Is it because of thin skin
However, no matter what happened that night or not, Li Yi can't just watch her passively accept that fate. If Li Xuan is right, with those things, the problem has been solved now, right
But why do I still feel irritable for no reason
"Uncle, it's time to eat..."
Xiaohuan's voice came faintly from inside, Li Yi temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, turned around and walked back...
…
…
The girl named Xiao Cui held the book tightly in her arms and ran out of the alley.
The flow of people on the street began to gather, she slowed down her pace, carefully took the book out of her arms, flipped through a few pages, and saw the densely packed writing on it, a smile appeared on Qiao's face immediately.
"It seems that the bad guy is not so bad." He muttered to himself, bought a candied haws on the street, and walked forward bouncingly.
She has been with the young lady since she was a child. Although she can't understand everything in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the young lady, at least she has been able to read and understand poetry with the young lady.
The bad guy—not the bad guy anymore.
The poems written by that young master are amazing. Last time in that garden, so many people were frightened. I also heard that those who wanted to compete for the top prize were crying and begging him to write poems for themselves. When Chen Miaomiao asked her to find the young master for five hundred taels of silver, she heard everything.
Hmph, why did Chen Miaomiao ask that young master to write poems? She has not yet flown on a branch to become a phoenix. In the past few days, she has been saying those strange things in front of the lady all day. Q…
Isn't it because the mother wants to make her an oiran? She is not as good-looking as the young lady, and her talent is even worse than the young lady's. More importantly, has she let the young lady see her body
Nothing can compare to a young lady, if you want to be an oiran, go ahead and dream!
There are also those people who begged others to write poems but couldn't get them. I got what they dreamed of before I even opened my mouth today. It can be seen that the son still cares about his own lady...
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui felt even happier.
She quietly slipped into the Qunyu Courtyard through the back door. The young lady went out to find Sister Ruoqing just now, so she had the opportunity to sneak out. She gently pushed the door open and heard a familiar voice.
"Xiao Cui, where did you go just now?"
Hurry up to hide the things in my arms, if the young lady finds out, she will definitely return them back, grinning and showing two rows of white teeth, said: "Miss, I just went out and bought two bunches of candied haws, I'll give you a bunch..."
…
…
The sky had completely darkened, and there was finally movement from inside. Liu spat out the dead branches in his mouth with one hand, and saw the old man and young man coming out of the house.
"Sorry to trouble you." The old man said, arching his hands at him.
"Did the old man find what he wanted?" Liu Yishou asked curiously.
I guessed in my heart, seeing how sad he was crying just now, he should have found it, and—the result didn't seem to be so satisfying.
The old man did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "May I ask this head catcher, if all the household registrations in this county are here, is there anything missing?"
"I dare not say that the household registration of all the population is here, but it is probably not much different." Liu Yishou replied.
Some time ago, I took my brothers to check the population from house to house. Except for those black households who hide in the mountains and cannot come out, each village has as many people as there are household registrations, which is not bad.
"Thank you." The old man smiled kindly, pointed to the young man who was punished by the stick today, and is now supported by two people, and said to Liu Yishou: "The old man is not strict with his orders. When he first arrived in your mansion, he was made to commit such a crime." Big mistake, I don't know... "
Liu Yishou waved his hand and said, "Since the punishment has been executed, he can be taken away, just remember not to ride a horse in the city."
County magistrate Liu obviously didn't want to form too deep a relationship with these people, so he specially instructed Liu Yishou to do this during the day, and the magistrate would not say anything if he thought about it.
Seeing this group of people leaving the county government office, Liu Yishou stretched his waist, saying that it was time for him to go out to patrol.
Otherwise, the guys under him will definitely take the opportunity to be lazy.
I stretched my back and felt a little less tired. Fortunately, it’s only a few days before Shangyuan. After Shangyuan, there will be a curfew in the city again, so I don’t have to suffer at night anymore...
"Uncle Li, shall we go to that village now?" The old man walked out of the county government office with more than ten guards, and the man named Li Zheng turned his head and asked.
The old man known as Uncle Li looked up at the sky and said, "Find an inn to stay in, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Looking back at the tall gate of the county government again, there was a deep and indelible sadness on his face.
In the early morning of the second day, a group of people led their horses out of the city gate. More than a dozen guards flew on the horses, and a horse pulled the carriage and galloped away in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, Li Family Village ushered in a group of strange guests.
It's strange, but it's because these ten or so people are all riding tall horses, and they look travel-stained, as if they have driven a long way. Outsiders came from a remote place, most of them are poor relatives of someone in the village. Had this kind of battle
"I don't know why you come to my Lijia Village?" Seeing these people get off their horses, the old man of Lijia Village walked over and asked, clasping his hands.
He secretly winked at Brother Da Zhuang who was not far away. When he didn't know the purpose of these outsiders, it was always right to be vigilant.
"Brother, this is Li Family Village, right?"
Looking at the kind old man on the opposite side, who didn't seem to be looking for trouble, the villager was a little relieved, and said, "This is the Li family village."
"I don't know if my brother recognizes Li Minghan?"
"Li Minghan?"
It turned out that he was here to look for someone, Muramasa murmured the name in his mouth, obviously he had some impressions, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The village is full of uneducated rough people, and they are all named after big, strong, two strong, two dogs and three guns. Li Minghan, such an elegant name is not something that the villagers can come up with.
At this moment, another elderly villager murmured, "Li Minghan, is Li Xiucai's name just like that?"
Cun Zheng slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "Why did you forget about Li Xiucai!"
Turning to look at the old man, he said: "Yes, yes, there used to be such a person in the village, who moved here with his wife twenty years ago, and later settled down in the village. He is the only scholar in the village, but he He has been dead for many years, are you looking for him?"
"Twenty years ago, yes, yes..."
Hearing Muramasa's description, two lines of muddy old tears fell from the old man's eyes, and he said in a choked voice, "Master, this old slave is late!"
