Ye Shaokun tried his best to follow his green horse, he couldn't afford to lose this person if he lost the horse again, if it was the person who stole his horse last time, he would definitely beat this person to pieces, this person made him lose his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cen Wenhan rode a horse and galloped, the foot strength of this green horse was also good, it didn't take long for it to run to a place not far from Tianmiao Town, the light in front of him entered his eyes, just when Cen Wenhan was excited, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit hard by something, and he fainted on horseback.

Mother-in-law Ji got up early in the morning, she received a message from Yingxiang's flying pigeon, saying that Cen Wenhan slipped away in the middle of the road, she couldn't help but smile, she knew that Yingxiang couldn't follow Cen Wenhan, but just like that, Cen Wenhan disappeared on the rivers and lakes, and she didn't get any news of Cen Wenhan when she asked around, which couldn't help but make her anxious.

Just when Granny Ji was still worried about Cen Wenhan's affairs, Wu Qin came to her, saying that Lord Li of the county was going to come to the house to talk about it, and Gao Shen had gone to greet this Lord Li, which made Granny Ji wonder, what did the county Cheng do here.

Hearing that Li Xiancheng had arrived in the living room, Granny Ji also walked to the side room to listen to what they had to say.

Soon Li Xiancheng arrived in the living room, Gao Shen followed closely and also entered the living room, the two sat down after greeting for a while, and then Li Xiancheng said: "This official residence is just a simple visit to this lakeside villa today. ”

"There is Lord Lao to move, Honzhuang is deeply honored, but the owner of the villa, Wu Xian, passed away a few days ago, and this matter has been fruitless, so I have also seen the adults as an old family, and I hope the adults will forgive me!"

Li Xiancheng was stunned for a moment, "I also know about this matter, in this case, has there been no new owner in this villa?" ”

"Not yet, because the owner of the village has only one sister, so there has been no one in charge in the villa, so I have to temporarily act as the agent for the young lady here."

"I don't know if the owner's sister can be married?"

Li Xiancheng's words made Gao Shen really a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to make decisions for Wu Qin casually, but when Xian Cheng's words were asked, he had to say perfunctorily: "Miss Wu is still in the grief of her brother's death, and it is inconvenient for us to mention such things." ”

Li Xiancheng also knew that he was talking too much this time, he originally wanted to find a good in-law for the owner's sister as his county inheritance, but he didn't expect others to appreciate it, "Since this is the case, the official doesn't say this, in recent days, the autumn flood looks like it is coming, and the embankment needs to be repaired under the rule of the official, and the official is here for this matter." ”

As soon as Gao Shen heard it, he knew that this person was here to ask for money, who called the Night Shadow Garden was the largest dealer here, and of course he would think of them when he encountered such a thing, "Since this is the case, we should also do it, may I ask my lord how much we can contribute to the county?" ”

"How about 30,000 taels?" Li County is a lion's big mouth.

Gao Shen smiled: "Thirty thousand taels of silver can buy our courtyard, and the county Chengtai will raise me and wait." ”

Li Xiancheng nodded, "How much is Mr. Gao willing to give?" ”

Gao Shen arched his hand and said: "We are willing to give three thousand taels, but the county promises me one thing." ”

As soon as Li Xiancheng heard that it was so easy to get three thousand taels of silver, he was overjoyed at the moment, "If you have any requirements, please say, as long as this official can do it, he will do his best." ”

"I want to give two prisoners to the people in the village, I wonder if the adults can agree to this?"

As soon as Li Xiancheng heard this, he knew that if he accepted the prisoner, then he could pay less taxes on the land under this person's name, and many rich families did these things at the moment, "What's so difficult about this, please report the names of these two people, and the official will approve it." ”

Gao Shen got up and thanked: "Thank you first, but we haven't screened these two people yet, and after selecting the people, we will send them to the county government with the silver." ”

Li Xiancheng nodded, he didn't expect this old boy to be so smart, he was afraid that he would regret it afterwards, and send the silver with the person, and he would have to agree if he didn't agree at that time, but this is also a matter of favor, "That's fine, the official has other things, so he will leave." ”

Gao Zhi hurriedly got up and left this Lord Li to eat before leaving, but Li Xiancheng was about to leave before he responded, and then a woman suddenly walked up to Li Xiancheng and made a blessing, "Lord Li is well!" ”

Li Xiancheng looked at the person and asked, "Are you ......?" ”

"The little woman Meng Fang is the seventh daughter of the owner of Biluo Mountain Villa."

Li Xiancheng patted his head and said, "It turned out to be you, why is Miss Meng here?" ”

"The last time I was a guest here with my father, then something happened and had to be dealt with by my father, so he left me here temporarily, saying that he would arrange someone to pick me up later, but my father never arranged for someone to come here to pick me up, so the little woman was worried about her father, and wanted to go back to the county with the adults and then go back to the villa, I don't know if the adults are willing to take the little girl for a ride."

Li Xiancheng heard Meng Fang's explanation and casually agreed: "Miss Meng, please, I'm also about to go back to the county." After speaking, he arranged for someone to prepare a soft bridge for Meng Fang.

At this time, Meng Fang walked up to Gao Shen and said, "Thank you Uncle Gao for entertaining the little girl these days, and I will let my father go to the villa to raise Uncle Xie after I go back." ”

Gao Shen was stunned and didn't know what to do at the moment, he had to clench his fists and return to Meng Fang, and at this time, Liao Wenxiu rushed out from inside, "Wait a minute!" ”

Meng Fang was also shocked when she saw this, she didn't know what this Mr. Liao wanted to do, but it was definitely not good. At this time, Liao Wenxiu walked to Li Xiancheng and said: "Lord Li is busy with official business, I think Miss Meng is still sent by us, we have a lot of people in the villa, and it is also very convenient to escort Miss Meng home, and there is less fatigue for Miss Meng to go to the county first and then change the route home." ”

Li Xiancheng also paused, he glanced at Miss Meng and said: "Since Miss Meng wants to go back with the official, presumably she has something else to do with the official, I think it is better to let Miss Meng go back with me!" ”

Meng Fang was also anxious at this time, she hurriedly said: "What Lord Li said is that I just heard what the adults said, saying that the autumn flood is coming soon, and the county needs to donate money, so the little girl wants to go back with the adults to see if there is anything that can help." ”

Meng Fang's words couldn't be clearer, she meant that if the county needed money, she also had it here. Of course, Li Xiancheng could hear what Meng Fang said, he coughed and said: "The official also wants to find Miss Meng to inquire about the news of the owner of Meng Zhuang, don't bother Mr. Gao, you guys, Miss Meng should go back with the official!" ”

Liao Wenxiu hurriedly said again: "Please Miss Meng wait first." ”

Li Xiancheng said angrily here: "Do you dare to stop the official errand? ”

Liao Wenxiu said: "I don't dare, it's just that Miss Meng has been in the villa for so long, we can't let the girl return empty-handed, we prepare some gifts for the girl to take back, please wait." After saying that, he said a few words in Zhou Sheng's ear, and Zhou Sheng hurriedly ran back to Zhuangzi.

This is also reasonable, Li Xiancheng also felt inconvenient to excuse Meng Fang, so he had to chat with Liao Wenxiu in the courtyard, and Zhou Sheng quickly arranged for someone to carry some things out and send them to Meng Fang's sedan chair.

After the matter was over, Li Xiancheng took Meng Fang away, and this Jinji mother-in-law came out and looked at Liao Wenxiu and said, "Okay! Mr. Liao is really generous to others! let people escape, and gave away a lot of things. ”

Liao Wenxiu sneered and turned around and asked, "Did you get the thing?" ”

At this time, Zhou Sheng walked to the front, holding a woman's burden in his hand and said, "I got it." ”

Granny Ji saw the burden in Zhou Sheng's hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhou Sheng smiled: "Of course, it's Miss Meng's burden." ”

Granny Ji said angrily: "What are you doing stealing someone else's burden from a little girl? ”

Liao Wenxiu smiled: "Mother-in-law, why don't you open the burden and see what's inside!" ”

Granny Ji was also stunned, she asked Wu Qin to take the burden and open it to see, it was full of notes made by Meng Fang, then Wu Qin said: "These are all notes made by Miss Meng before, I was present when I wrote these things, what can these things be for?" ”

Granny Ji was an old fox, she looked at these things and asked, "Please tell the old man Mr. Liao, is there any secret hidden here?" ”

Seeing that Granny Ji was so smart, Liao Wenxiu also secretly admired, "This is how Meng Fang contacts the outside world, last time Zhou Sheng found out the people she contacted the outside world, but he still couldn't decipher how she transmitted information through these manuscripts, so I thought of a way to let Zhou Sheng steal back these manuscripts so that our people could study them." ”

At this time, Wu Qin's face suddenly became unsightly, it turned out that Meng Fang was doing things under her nose, and she didn't know it at all.
