Sun Laoba finished telling the story vividly, of course, his focus was on how his righteous brother Wang Yu took the trouble to help Li Yan take care of the aftermath in danger, so as to lay the foundation for the next opening of his mouth to ask for gold bars.

And the people in the room who listened were in a variety of moods, and they were different.

The old Taoist priest Guo Jing leaned his back against the door, his eyes turned wildly, listening and thinking, hoping to find what he could help, or rather, the point where he could show his face.

Daylily's heart is on Yang Jin, when he knew that Yang Jin rode out of the city, he was happy and worried, happy that he was not only alive, but also out of danger, really capable.

The worry is, can he come back after he leaves? After all, human life is at stake, and it is the official of the imperial court who kills him, and he will definitely be wanted and arrested all over the city, and he should not come back, he must have left the country.

A sense of loss arises spontaneously, and the little girl once again experienced the feeling of losing her loved ones, just like the day her brother died, her heart was heartbroken and heartbroken, she rushed out of the door, trying to find a place where no one was crying.

Li Yan chased out the door and said to Xiao Mo with a serious expression: "Help me watch this girl, don't do anything stupid." ”

Xiaomo didn't dare to slack off, so she answered and chased after her.

Li Yan is just a little relieved, this hard-working girl.

When I returned to the house again, I thought that there was a key place in this - why didn't the master die!

He hurriedly asked Sun Laoba: "Starling, where is that now?" ”

Sun Laoba licked his lips, and also realized the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't dare to hide it, and said, "This...... I didn't ask about that. ”

Li Yan nodded, pondered for a long time, and said: "Why don't you get rid of it, there will be endless troubles, and it will be troublesome for the starling to investigate again, but you must ensure your own safety." ”

After speaking, his eyes looked at Sun Laoba's belt.

Sun Laoba's face turned red and said, "Okay, I'll go and give you an answer tomorrow." ”

"Wait!" Li Yan took out a piece of silver from his arms, handed it over and said, "Make clothes to wear, there are additional rewards for doing things well, this is not counted in it, starling take it first." ”

How high the old Taoist priest's eyebrows were raised, it was a piece of silver, enough for him to go to the kiln many times, and his eyes were full of envy, which made him want to participate in it even more.

Li Yan looked at him suspiciously and said, "Is there anything else going on with the Heavenly Machine Daoist?" ”

The old Taoist priest hunched his waist and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the old Taoist priest is waiting for you to arrange things to do at any time." ”

"It's nothing to do for the time being, just help Li take care of the brothers in the front yard, if there is really something to trouble the Taoist, don't excuse yourself."

The old Taoist priest waved his hand again and again and said: "My lord, where is this, whose food is eaten, and who is doing things for whom, it is natural." Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just...... I haven't been to visit Xiu'er for a few days, and I don't know if it's okay. ”

Li Yan had something in his heart, and felt a little irritable, Zou Mei said: "If the Taoist chief has something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

The old Taoist priest cleared his throat and said embarrassedly: "Can you also give Poor Dao a little silver first, and when there is something to do next time, I won't reward it." Of course, don't dare to ask for an ingot, just give a little loose silver. ”

Li Yan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he took out a piece of silver from his body and said, "You're welcome, take it and spend it." ”

But I regret it a little in my heart, I should exchange it for some scattered silver, send away the little ghosts, I can't always be so generous, and if the reward and punishment system is not established well, it will leave hidden dangers for future employment.

The old Taoist priest left, and the room was instantly quiet, and Li Yan fell into thought.

He still has many doubts in his heart, such as: Why did Yang Jin help him kill Li Zhixian?

If it is said that it is purely for the sake of daylilies, Li Yan is a hundred people who don't believe it, which doesn't make sense, because even if they don't help with this, the two of them can still be together.

Sensei said that he was just a godbrother, that is, his own brother, and he had no right to interfere with the happiness of others.

Li Yan didn't think that he was in it for money, if that was the case, he should bargain with himself before killing someone, so he could clearly deny that it was not for fame and fortune.

Don't seek fame, don't seek profit, don't be emotional, what else?

Li Yan patted his head, just wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, and suddenly remembered that Sun Laoba had drunk it to the spout, put it back on the table, stood up, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and then wailed, rolled on the bed a few times, grabbed his head and sulked, angry that his brain was stupid.

……

When night fell, darkness enveloped the entire Yanggu County, and the darkness swept away the light like a huge broom.

People laughed and cursed around the faint candle flame, and in this age of poor entertainment, the children's favorite thing to do was to ask their fathers to tell them stories.

The man who was tired after a day took a sip of wine and said with a smile: What I am telling today is not a story, but a real story.

The woman was skillfully knitting sweaters in her hands, and she had three more to weave before winter came, so this made her a little hurried.

After many years of husband and wife, she knew what her man was going to say, and she kept in her hands, and said angrily: "I don't talk about something good, but I pick up some scary things." ”

The man said proudly: What do you know, this is a matter between our men, and the girls don't understand.

The woman pursed her lips and did not retort, a happy smile on her face.

"Our county lord is dead, the person who killed him is said to be a chivalrous man, this hero passed by our county, so an investigation, hey, this Li Lao is not a fucking good person, kill it, just click a knife......"

Bang bang, there was a knock on the door.

The man and the woman looked at each other, then pulled on their shoes and went out into the courtyard, shouting, "Who am I talking about?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I still hang out? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the yamen is handling the case, ordered to search, and open the door quickly!"

The man didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly ran to the door, and just took off the latch, and instantly rushed into four figures, all wearing official clothes, with the handle of the knife in his right hand, and the aura was awe-inspiring.

One of the leaders shouted into the room:

"I was ordered to search from house to house, and within ten counts, all the panting people stood in the courtyard, and there were girls who had not yet come out of the cabinet, please avoid them, I was offended."

The man clenched his fists and arched his hands: "There is only one person in the house, and there is only one woman in the house, and she has not slept yet, so the adults can go in and search, and it will be fine." ”

The leader said with a smile: "Forget it, don't go in, look at you are also a responsible person, if you see a suspicious person, report to the official quickly, do you understand?" ”

The man said yes again and again, sent the officials away, latched the door horizontally, and heard the neighbor's dog barking wildly, shook his head, and went back to the house.

The children were so frightened that they hid behind their mother, and the man scolded, "You are afraid of a bird, but you have not broken the law." ”

The woman said: "You just said bad things about the county master, I'm afraid ......"

The man drank a bowl of wine, his eyebrows straightened, and he completely lost the humble appearance just now, and said angrily:

"Just allow him to do it, don't allow others to say, break the law when he speaks, do bad things and become a big official, what is the bird king law!"
