Chapter 19: The Death of the Horse's Head

Adu took advantage of the visit of Gonggong Wei to pull the tiger skin, pull the banner, and raise a lot of silver taels. Adu thought to himself, the money for buying grain and goods is enough! I am happy in my heart! But Father-in-law Wei did not donate a penny, but his benevolence and virtue are famous all over the world. Of course, Grandpa Wei doesn't care about any reputation, he cares most about his own private affairs. So Gonggong Wei called Ma Zhutou and asked, "Are you the head of the Yama in Baoding County?"

"Exactly!" replied Ma Zhutou.

"Have you seen Miss Li lately?" asked Grandpa Wei gloomily.

"If you go back to Chitose......! Isn't Miss Li in the Wei Mansion?" asked Ma Zhutou confusedly.

"Bold! whatever the old man asks, you can answer, and dare to talk more!" Father-in-law Wei seemed a little angry.

"Slaves should die! Slaves should die!" the horse catcher hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing incessantly.

"You dare to call yourself a minion!" Luo Sigong rushed forward and knocked the horse's head to the ground!

Ever since Gonggong Wei often called himself a slave in front of the emperor, no one in the court dared to call himself a slave anymore! Ma Zhutou had committed a great taboo against his father-in-law, but he still didn't know it!

Wei Gonggong Luo commanded the envoy and his entourage, and after walking around the county seat of Baoding, he returned to the official post.

It's night, Adu's residence.

After a tiring day, Adu untied his clothes and blew out the lamp to get ready for bed. Suddenly, the window creaked, and a masked man entered through the window!

"It's me, sir, I'm Miss Li!" the visitor took off the cloth on his face.

Ah Du looked at it, it was indeed Miss Li!

"Woohoo!" At this moment, there was a knock on the door!

"Who?" asked Ah Du as he quickly blocked Miss Li with his body.

"It's me, Ma Zhutou, what happened?" Ma Zhutou heard the noise, and hurriedly hurried over and asked outside the door.

"It's nothing, it's just a rat disturbance! Go to sleep!"

"Yes, sir!" the horse turned away.

Adu opened a crack in the door, saw that the horse catcher was far away, and hurriedly closed the door gently.

"Miss Li came to visit late at night, what is the matter?" asked Ah Du in a low voice.

"There is a shortage of living materials in the temple, and food is not sustainable. Both the princess and the Kiyokaze Michigo fell ill. The princess asked me to go to the county seat, take her jade bracelet, and buy some food and medicine so that the Taoist can recover as soon as possible!" After speaking, Miss Li handed the jade bracelet to Adu.

"It's all to blame, Abdul and I'm negligent! Ah Du paused and then said: "This jade bracelet is the princess's beloved thing, and it must not be taken seriously! Ah Du has some surplus silver, and after Grandpa Wei returns to Beijing, I will buy food and send it to you personally!"

Just as he was talking, Ma Zhutou suddenly came to report that Gongzun Wei was coming!

"Girl, you quickly hide in the curtain, don't go out! There may be people from the Wei Mansion outside!" Adu thought to himself, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. This old thief Wei came late at night, I don't know which song to sing?

"I don't know if Chitose is here in person, and I miss the distance!"

"Adu, has the old man disturbed your dreams?"

"How dare you! I don't know what Chitose is doing in the middle of the night?"

"The old man has lived in the deep mansion for a long time, and he is extremely bored! Now I have come to you to have a good gamble, how about it?" said Father-in-law Wei as he walked straight towards Adu's room!

Ah Du hurriedly stepped forward, pushed open the door for Father-in-law Wei with his own hands, and said: "Ah Du is casual by nature, has a simple life, and there is only one bed, a stool and a suitcase in the room. If Chitose wants to play gambling, why don't you go upstairs to the private room?"

Gonggong Wei swept around the room, and found no clues in the empty house, so he said: "The county magistrate's house is surrounded by four walls, and it is really poor!

Abdul pulled the door open and led his father-in-law to the private room.

"How do you want Chitose to play?" asked Duto.

"The old man only gambles!" Grandpa Wei took out a dice box from his arms and threw it on the table.

"Gambling money, but I don't have much silver taels on my body. All the money raised today is in the treasury!" said Adu.

"The last thing the old man lacks is money! In this way, let's only gamble, if the old man loses, you go to sleep, and I will go back to the official post." If the old man wins, keep playing, no matter whether he wins or loses, until the old man has a good time!"

Adu thought to himself, this is also called a gamble?

"The old man shook the dice, did you bet big or small?" Grandpa Wei asked Ah Du while shaking the dice vigorously.

"Bet small!" Ah knew that his father-in-law liked to bet big, so he chose to bet small.

"Okay!" Grandpa Wei slammed the dice box on the table and shouted, "Kaibao!"

Father-in-law Wei slowly opened the lid of the box. Adu looked at it, and there were only three points!

"You won!" "Gonggong Wei smiled darkly, "Since God doesn't let me gamble, the old man has no choice but to go!"

"As long as Chitose is happy, Adu is willing to accompany you to gamble a few more!"

"A gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase!The old man said goodbye!" Chitose put away the dice and put them in the box. Adu hurriedly saw him off, and did not return home until the official post.

"Miss Li, you can come out!" As soon as he entered the house, Ah Du whispered to Miss Li.

Miss Li got out of the curtain and said with a disgusted face, "Master, how long has it been since you washed your mosquito net?"

"I've wronged you!" Adu said as he took out the jade bracelet from his bosom and handed it to Miss Li. "This jade bracelet is the princess's beloved thing, you go back to Lingshan and hand it over to the princess! Don't lose it! Take advantage of the moonlight, you should leave quickly, this place has become a place of right and wrong! Remember! Father-in-law Wei has been alert, you must not go out at will! If you need anything, Adu will arrange it properly. ”

Miss Li took the jade bracelet, thanked Adu for her kindness, and disappeared in a flash.

Besides, after Gonggong Wei wandered around the county for a few days, he didn't find anything, and he returned to the capital.

As soon as Gonggong Wei left Baoding, Adu hurriedly purchased some flour, beef, medicinal materials, etc., and personally sent them to Qingfeng Temple. For Miss Li, this is no different from timely rain. The temple was full of laughter and laughter.

Since then, Adu has secretly sent some oil, salt, rice and vegetables to Lingshan every once in a while. Who knows that there is no impermeable wall in the world. Even though Adu did it unconsciously, he was still noticed by Ma Zhutou. Once, he secretly followed Adu to Qingfeng Temple.

"Miss Li! Isn't that Miss Li?" Ma Zhutou, who was hiding behind the big tree, screamed in surprise! After discovering this secret, Ma Zhutou quickly slipped back to the county office, rode a horse, and went straight to the Wei Mansion!

When he arrived at the Wei Mansion, Ma Zhutou was stopped by the guards.

"The little one has something important to see Chitose!" exclaimed Ma Zhutou.

"Who is making a noise here?" At this time, Commander Luo came out of the mansion and asked loudly.

"Lord Luo! the little one has something important to tell Chitose!" Ma Zhutou kowtowed to Lord Luo and said anxiously.

Lord Luo invited the horse catcher into the mansion.

"Chitose has made a pilgrimage to the palace. If you have anything to do, you might as well tell me directly! When Chitose returns home, I'll tell you later!"

"The little one has discovered a secret! Adu Zhixian often sends some food to Lingshan, and the little one secretly followed the old man to Lingshan yesterday and found Miss Li!

As soon as he heard this, Lord Luo broke out in a cold sweat, so he hurriedly asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"No! absolutely not! Only the little one knows!" replied Ma Zhutou.

"Who else did you see in Lingshan?" asked Lord Luo again.

"In addition to the master, there seems to be a girl, an old man. The small ones don't see very clearly!"

"You come with me!" Lord Luo turned around and walked to the backyard, and Ma Zhutou hurriedly followed. As soon as he arrived in the backyard, Lord Luo pulled his sword and cut off the head of the horse catcher with lightning speed. The head of the horse suddenly turned in a different place! The head rolled to Luo Sigong's feet, and a pair of blood-red eyes seemed to be staring at Lord Luo!

"Either you die, or I die! You know too much! You can't blame me!" Luo Sigong said fiercely while wiping the red blood on his sword.
