After Liu Zhimo learned about the situation in Wutong Village, he prepared to go back to the Yamen.
The village chief shouted to the villagers' door and told the villagers what Liu Zhimo had said to him. The villagers all knelt down and shouted for your wisdom.
Some people even started to cry, feeling that they had been squeezed for so long, and finally someone made the decision for them.
Liu Zhimo gently raised his hand to let the villagers get up. He comforted the villagers a few words before turning around and getting into the carriage.
"My lord, wait." An old woman with a cane staggered over, carrying a basket of vegetables.
After Liu Zhimo saw it, he got out of the carriage quickly and walked up quickly, "Old man, go slowly." He was really afraid that the old lady would fall.
The old woman's knees were slightly bent, and she was about to kneel to Liu Zhimo, but Liu Zhimo held her elbow and stopped her from kneeling.
"My lord, your great kindness and virtue will be remembered by the women. These are vegetables grown in the women's house. You can take them home and taste them."
Liu Zhimo let go of his hand, shook his head and said, "Old man, I can't accept it, this is my duty." He gently pushed back the vegetable basket handed over by the old woman, afraid that the old woman would insist on giving it to you. He, after he finished speaking, he turned around and hurriedly climbed into the carriage, waved to the old woman and the others before entering the carriage.
The old woman knelt down with tears in her eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice, sending off the adults respectfully.
The village head and the villagers also knelt down, and shouted to send off the adults.
After the carriage was completely out of sight, the old woman got up unsteadily. She turned her head to look at the village chief and the villagers, and rubbed the ground vigorously with her crutches. Our luck, we have to abide by the rules and not make it difficult for the county magistrate, you know?"
The old lady is a highly respected person in Wutong Village, and the villagers respect her very much, so the villagers usually listen to what she says.
"I know!" The villagers replied loudly in unison, the county magistrate who is so considerate of them, how could they cause trouble to the county magistrate
The village head stepped forward, supported the old woman with one hand, and took the vegetable basket in the old woman's hand with the other, to send her home.
The old woman whispered to the village chief, all talking about Liu Zhimo's goodness. When they met Liu Zhimo, their hard days would be over.
Liu Zhimo, who left Wutong Village, did not know that his actions had easily won the hearts of the villagers of Wutong Village.
At this moment, he was propping his forehead, thinking about Ying Jie's case.
He intuitively felt that Wu Mei would withdraw the case overnight, so what was there to hide
So after listening to what the village chief said, he didn't go to Ying's house. He planned to find some time and go quietly to see if Ying Jie's death was a murder or an accident.
"Hmm..." At this moment, Ma Xiancheng, who was sleeping soundly, groaned, and after a while, slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Liu Zhimo for a while, then turned his head from a daze, and called out to your lord.
Liu Zhimo supported his head, raised his eyebrows, and asked him if he slept well
The loud voice of the villagers didn't wake him up, so he was really amazing.
Ma Xiancheng rubbed his forehead and smiled embarrassedly, feeling that the carriage was still moving, he asked suspiciously, haven't you arrived at Wutong Village yet
He woke up, why hasn't he arrived yet? Didn't he sleep for a long time
Liu Zhimo said he hadn't arrived yet, and asked him if he wanted to sleep again
The county magistrate doesn't sleep, how can he have the nerve to sleep
Ma Xiancheng shook his head and said, no need.
Liu Zhimo hummed, then lowered his head slightly, lost in thought.
Ma Xiancheng picked his fingers, feeling that the quiet atmosphere in the car made him uneasy.
He saw that Liu Zhimo was thinking about something with his head down, and he didn't dare to disturb him. He had nothing to do, so he lowered his head and played with his fingers.
When Liu Zhimo recovered from his contemplation, he looked up and saw such a scene.
"..." Ma Xiancheng is sleeping stupid? Did you think he was a three year old? Playing with your fingers
He opened his mouth, and when he was about to make a sound, the carriage stopped, and the guard lifted the curtain and said, "Here we are."
Liu Zhimo hummed, got up and got off the carriage.
As soon as Ma Xiancheng got to the carriage, he found that it was at the gate of the Yamen. He looked at Liu Zhimo in surprise, and asked him why he didn't go to Wutong Village, and why did he come back again
Liu Zhimo glanced at him indifferently, and walked into the yamen with his hands behind his back.
Ma Xiancheng looked at Liu Zhimo's back in confusion, wondering what Liu Zhimo's eyes meant just now
When the guard passed Ma Xiancheng, he said that they had returned from Wutong Village.
What? Came back from Wutong Village
In other words, he slept all the way and didn't wake up until Wutong Village
Ma Xiancheng stood where he was, and was disturbed by the wind. He... how could he sleep so soundly? What would the magistrate think of him? Do you think he is useless
It's miserable, it's miserable, he doesn't know how many things he has to do to make up for it
In order to make up for his mistakes, Ma Xiancheng worked desperately, and when it was time for dinner, he asked Liu Zhimo to go home for dinner, and he could handle the rest of the files by himself.
Liu Zhimo looked at the few files left, so he didn't refuse, "It's hard work for Ma Xiancheng."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Ma Xiancheng waved his hands wildly, "Sir, please go slowly."
Liu Zhimo responded, and left the Yamen in a happy mood.
When he got home, Li Qingling told him that the soldiers from the Liu family had arrived.
Fortunately, the house is big enough, otherwise it would not be able to live there.
"Here? How many people have arrived?"
"Twenty people, I arranged them in the apricot courtyard and the pear courtyard near the backyard." The two courtyards were slightly crowded, just enough to accommodate twenty people.
Liu Zhimo hummed, stood up, and was about to meet them.
Just after going out to the door, he met Xichun. Xichun hurriedly stepped forward and told Liu Zhimo respectfully that Liu Shi, the captain of the family soldiers, was coming to see him.
Liu Zhimo looked up at Liu Shi who was standing behind Xichun, and after a moment, he nodded. As expected of being called Liu Shi, he is a very calm person.
"My subordinate, Liu Shi, has seen the Fourth Young Master." Liu Shi stepped forward and hugged Liu Zhimo.
Liu Zhimo nodded with a smile and said, it's been a hard journey.
"Not hard."
"I'll clean up the dust for you later, and now I'm asking Captain Liu to take me to meet the other brothers."
Hearing Liu Zhimo's intimate words, Liu Shi liked Liu Zhimo even more. He said yes, and followed Liu Zhimo to the apricot courtyard where they lived.
He stood in the middle of the yard and called out to assemble.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the twenty people gathered.
Liu Shi returned to the team and said loudly, Fourth Young Master, twenty people are here.
Liu Zhimo took a step forward slightly, and glanced at the twenty family soldiers standing below, "Brothers, you have worked hard all the way." After a pause, "Now let's get to know each other, my name is Liu Zhimo, from now on please Give me a lot of advice."
After Liu Zhimo's introduction, the family soldiers said their names one by one.
He looked over one by one, trying to remember everyone.
Liu Zhimo's actions made the soldiers feel a lot of respect.
I think it's worth it for them to come here to protect him all the way.
After the last family soldier finished introducing himself, Liu Zhimo told about the family situation, making sure that the family soldiers listened to him, and then disbanded.
"Fourth young master, I don't know what arrangement you have for us?"
"Captain Liu, since you are the captain, it's up to you to make arrangements, and I won't interfere."
Hearing this, Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, with a stiff smile on his resolute face, he said yes.
He felt that it would be better to stay with Liu Zhimo than to stay in General Zhen Guo's mansion.
Here, they can arrange freely, allowing everyone to play their own strengths, and will not be buried.
At this moment, the little depression that he was sent to protect Liu Zhimo completely dissipated.
"If you need anything, just go and tell your wife, you're welcome."
"Yes, my lord." The lord's voice represented his approval of Liu Zhimo.
Liu Zhimo nodded to Liu Shi again before leaving the Xingyuan.
Back in the room, he pursed his lips and smiled when he heard Li Qingling's orderly arrangement of tonight's reception banquet.
After Xichun went down, he stretched out his hand to hold Li Qingling's hand and said, lady, thank you for your hard work.
Li Qingling gave him a coquettish look, and she just started talking, what's the trouble
He is a hard worker. He has been so busy recently that he often doesn't come home until midnight to sleep.
She touched his thin cheeks distressedly. Even though she served him with delicious food and drinks, she didn't see any flesh growing on him. One can imagine how hard he had worked.
"When will you be able to finish the work on the dossier?"
"Soon." Liu Zhimo covered Li Qingling's with his hand, and rubbed it lightly, "When the work is over, take a two-day rest and be with you." He was so busy that he didn't have time to talk to her. When she came back, she had already fallen asleep, and after he got up, she still hadn't woken up.
Although they are under the same roof, it is difficult to say a word.
Li Qingling nodded lightly and said hello.
It was time for him to take a good rest for two days. During this period of time, he was too busy to get enough sleep, and the dark circles under his eyes could not disappear.
"Miss..."
"Um?"
"Miss..."
"exist…"
"Miss..."
"explain…"
"It's almost your birthday." Liu Zhimo pulled Li Qingling into his arms, hugged her tightly, leaned his head on her shoulder, and blew softly into her ear, "My lady!" How are you going to celebrate your birthday?" Although he entered the bridal chamber with his wife in advance, he was inexplicably excited in his heart.
Li Qingling shrank his head sensitively, and covered his mouth with his hand to prevent him from making trouble.
Little did they know, she had a plan, and he had a wall ladder. He glanced at her, bent his eyes, and kissed her palm lightly.
She was so scared that she withdrew her hand suddenly, turned her head and stared at him, "Aren't you tired?" She didn't take the opportunity to rest and still tease her
"Lei Lei..." He refused to let her leave his arms, "Your husband is so tired, do you want to reward your husband?"
award
What reward does this man want
"Huh?" Li Qingling stretched out her hands to hold his face, pushed him away slightly, stared into his eyes, and asked with a smile, "What reward do you want?"
"Any rewards are fine?"
"No." Li Qingling refused, "Let's listen and see if I will give it."
Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling sadly, the lady was getting more and more unaffected by his tricks.
