This night, the only bed was occupied by Shanbao, and Zu Gongluo and Qiu Yu ate tea and wine, and talked all night.

In the early morning, Shanbao was awakened by the quarrel of the other guests, and looked sleepily to see that the table was covered with empty wine jars, and the two men did not show any signs of fatigue, and still talked energetically.

This should be the legendary first sight, Shanbao thought.

Shanbao and Li Qingzhao are both cousins and best friends, and they have also talked by candle and night, and they generally can't stay up for three watches, and the next morning must be the same eyes full of red silk, and then Shanbao needs to make up for a day, and Li Qingzhao not only has to make up for a day, but also for three days.

These two men are so energetic that Shanbao admires.

Seeing that she was awake, the two men greeted her in unison.

Shanbao asked rhetorically, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

The two men looked at the only bed, and said nothing to each other.

Shanbao asked again, "What are you talking about?" ”

Qiu Yu was more talkative than Zu Gongluo, and was the first to answer: "Talk about how to arrest the old harrier, and talk about the shops and farming in Lei Gong Town." ”

What a good official, Shanbao heard that there is a saying that a new official takes office with three fires: the first fire, the subordinate colleagues congratulate him on the joy of promotion, so he generously donates money for promotion; In the second fire, all relatives and classmates congratulated the joy of promotion, gritted their teeth and donated generously for the sake of getting naked; On the third fire, the landlords of various local merchants congratulated their promotions and had to donate generously in order to seek shelter.

Although it is not certain whether Qiu Yu burned these three fires, it is not wrong to see that he took great pains to arrest the old harrier.

Shanbao got out of bed and tugged at the crumpled skirt.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu said: "Men and women don't kiss. Being in the same room is even more disrespectful, and it is really wronged. ”

Shanbao continued to tug at her skirt without raising her head: "When I fled from Jinan to Lei Gong Town." Men and women, young and old, hundreds of refugees huddled in a cave to escape the wind and rain, the people take food as the sky, people put life first, what are the major things at present, we are to catch the wicked old harrier, not informal. ”

Qiu Yu praised repeatedly. Then go out and call Xiao Er to prepare breakfast.

Shanbao straightened his messy hair, and when he turned his head, he found a pair of slender hands holding a cup of tea. As soon as she raised her head, she first said thank you to her grandfather's gaze, and then said, "Wait until the task is completed." We went our separate ways. ”

Grandpa asked, "Why?" ”

Shanbao took a sip of tea: "The two of us don't go home at night." Both appeared at the Hongru Inn, aren't you afraid that they will say that the two of us are so and that and so much. ”

"What, what, what?" Zu Gong understood slightly, smiled, and gently tapped his fingers on Shanbao's forehead, only to find that something was wrong after doing this action, and wanted to say a few jokes with Shanbao, but after realizing that it was inappropriate, he could only say: "Don't be afraid." ”

Shanbao said, "I'm afraid." ”

Zu Gong asked after a little hesitation: "Are you afraid of the Zu family?" Or are you afraid of the owner of the hairpin? ”

Shanbao did not shy away from it: "I'm afraid." ”

Zu Gong hesitated a little and said, "Since you can't forget the owner of the wooden hairpin." Why stay in your ancestral home, I mean. You can leave at all. ”

Shanbao went to the table and sat down, knocked his head on the table in despair, and said, "My father said, although I and your father have not fully bowed, but the first worship is the heaven and the earth, how can heaven and earth be deceived." ”

Zu Gong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "For you, this is not the real reason to stay. ”

Shanbao suddenly stared at him, his eyes were cold, and he looked ruthless, but his exit was fluttering: "Yes, my purpose is to join the gang, I have many gangs to help, and when the spring flowers bloom, I gave an order, and all the gangs went up to Changqing Mountain, digging three feet into the ground to find the owner of the wooden hairpin." ”

It was the hour when the sun was leaping out, and the light moved to Zu Gongluo's face inch by inch, and he stared at Shanbao for a long time, and when he heard Qiu Yu's footsteps approaching, he greeted him.

After breakfast, the three of them began to lay out the old harrier, Qiu Yu dipped his fingers in the tea and drew on the table, it turned out that what he wanted to catch was not just the old harrier, but the entire Lei Gong Town, so the people who bought and sold and even ate the Soul Snatcher Grass, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future.

Shanbao was a little panicked, after all, she had also taken it, although it was eaten by mistake, she was afraid of affecting herself, so she said: "Widow Zhang on East Street was defiled by the bully Lao Harrier, and after catching the old harrier, I will also arrest Widow Zhang and sentence her to death." ”

Qiu Yu pondered for a moment, he hadn't heard that there was a place called Dongjie in Lei Gong Town, and looked at Zu Gongluo with an inquiring gaze.

Zu Gongluo lowered his head slightly, and looked at the Taoism he drew on the table, but in fact, the room was warm, and the tea was dry, and it was not in shape at all.

Qiu Yu then said: "If the old harrier defiles Widow Zhang, he will increase his guilt by one degree, and Widow Zhang is innocent and should not be arrested." ”

Shanbao immediately said: "Even if the defiled Widow Zhang is innocent, the person who consumed the Soul Snatcher Grass is afraid that he didn't understand the power of this thing at the beginning, and there are even more people who eat it by mistake, how can he be arrested?" ”

Zu Gong smiled slightly.

Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The big boss deserves to be the leader of the gang. After appreciating it, he replied: "Okay, this official accepts the advice, and those who consume the Soul Snatcher Grass will not be held accountable." ”

Shanbao suddenly remembered that he mistakenly took the Soul Snatcher Grass because Ah Ke listened to Liuli's words, and Liuli almost listened to Zoor's words, Zuo'er didn't know if she was instructed by Aunt Qiao, but Aunt Qiao's private possession of Soul Snatcher Grass was a scourge in the ancestral family, so he said: "Forgive those who eat by mistake, and those who deliberately eat are guilty of the same crime as the traffickers, should adults draw up such a notice to set an example to the people." ”

Qiu Yu nodded frequently.

The process of catching the old harrier was surprisingly smooth, it turned out that Qiu Yu had already arranged people around the Hongru Inn, and he was waiting to be caught, and he really came to catch turtles in an urn, and he didn't let the old harrier and others enter the room at all, but in the lobby below, the people were stolen.

Shanbao and Zu Gongluo are still sitting in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, listening to the excitement below, after all, the old harrier is extraordinary, Shanbao saw Zu Gongluo eating tea happily, and asked him: "Aren't you going to help?" ”

Zu Gong slightly held the teacup and did not move: "It is the government's business to arrest people, and I am a grass people." ”

Shanbao said disdainfully: "A person like you will never be a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor, eliminates violence and peace, and you only have gold and silver in your eyes." ”

Zu Gong nodded slightly: "Not bad." ”

Shanbao covered his heart, feeling so angry that his internal organs hurt, thinking that if the bearded man was here at this time, he would definitely take the lead and rush down, no wonder, there must be a father and a son, in the same lineage, there is no good person in the ancestral family.

So, he turned his back to his grandfather and didn't speak again.

After Qiu Yu finished his official business, he came to say goodbye to Shanbao and Zugong, and was in Lei Gong Town, and he strongly invited Shanbao and Zugong to go to the government office as guests on another day.

After saying some polite words to each other, Shanbao and Zugongluo left the inn and returned to the ancestral compound.

According to experience, generally when you arrive at the west door, Menzi will report to Zu Gong slightly about some recent events in the house, and this one is no exception, she and Zu Gong slightly just entered the door, and Menzi immediately said: "The second young master and the eldest grandmother did not return last night, and the family was turned upside down."
