This is a mediocre-looking person, the kind of person who is thrown in a pile of people, like a drop of water mixed in a river, and can no longer be seen. It was also thanks to Dugu Jiu's good eyes that he firmly locked on him and didn't let him escape.

But Dugu Jiu didn't catch up.

This is almost impossible, you must know that Dugu Jiu's light skills are not to mention the best in the world, but at least the top five grades. There are really only a handful of people he can't catch up with. At first, Dugu Jiu also thought that he had met a master and wanted to compare, but after a while, he found that the situation was a little wrong. Although this person's light skills are good, or about the same as Wei Fu, he belongs to the first-class level, but he is not the top. The reason why he has not been able to catch up is not because he is not as fast as him, but because he is not familiar with the terrain.

Every time he plunged, he was able to find the most suitable place to borrow. Dugu Jiu observed his borrowing point, and after finding the trick, his speed also increased, and he was about to catch it - suddenly, this person disappeared.

He fell into an alley, and Dugu Jiu also fell, but the person was gone. Dugu Jiu looked around, this was a dead end, and there was no place to hide. And the distance between the two of them just now was already very close, at such a close distance, theoretically speaking, no matter how he hid, he should not be able to escape Dugu Jiu's sight.

Dugu Jiu carefully inspected the three walls, but did not find the secret passage, and guarded for a while, but still did not wait for this person to come out, seeing that noon had passed, Li Mu was still waiting for him, Dugu Jiu had to keep this place in mind and go back first.

Not long after Dugu Jiu left, the bluestone on the ground suddenly rose up, and a person drilled out of the ground and put the bluestone away. I glanced left and right to make sure it was safe to do so before leaving. (Anti-theft, refresh in 20 minutes) Ahhhh

……

When Dugu Jiu came back, Li Mu had already settled down in the county office. With an abacus in his hand, he is counting today's harvest. Jin Chen was next to him, there were pens and paper on the table, Li Mu read a number, and she wrote down a number to ensure that there were no mistakes in the accounts.

"Nanshi Cui shopkeeper, two thousand guan."

"Nanshi Li shopkeeper, 1,500 guan."

"North City—"

With the blessing of the system, Li Mu has an unforgettable memory, and everyone has bribed him with a penny. Zhang Tianai stood behind Li Mu, holding a booklet in his hand, Li Mu read a name, and she crossed a name. This list is the fan of Jinyi Secret Guard and Dongchang, which has been investigated during this time, the last time Li Mu came to Luoyang, he privately connected the list of businessmen and clans who opposed him, and the list of the children of the gate lords, which can be understood as a liquidation list.

Fortunately, only a few people are stubborn, and most of them have made the decisions they should have made.

"The last one, shopkeeper Zhang, 1,200 guan." Li Mu recited all the names, and the abacus in his hand also stopped: "Seventy-seven thousand three hundred, it is still done, and the harvest is good." ”

"Husband, it's all memorized, take a look." Jin Chen handed the record to Li Mu to see, Li Mu glanced at it, there was no problem, he added a 'Luoyang Hou Li Mu, 22,700 yuan' at the back, dried the ink, called a brocade guard to come over, and handed the record to him: "Take it to the stonemason, according to my instructions, the four merit tablets should be exactly the same, and they will be completed in three days, remember, put the name of Ben Hou on the top, and if you donate a lot, put it in front!" ”

Jinyiwei took the order and left, Li Mu got up and lay on the bed, pillowing Bai Qiaoqiao's thighs. Jin Chen came over and gently pressed his back to help him relieve his fatigue. Zhang Tianai held the booklet in his hand, counted it, and said, "There are still thirteen stubborn bastards in total, what should we do?" Tomorrow I'll take someone to smash their shop? ”

Li Mu propped up his arms, Bai Qiaoqiao took a pillow to cushion him, Li Mu lay down comfortably, squinted, and said, "How big is it, do you need to fight and kill?" When Feng Si and Bi Laosan came, when the newspaper could be printed, it was enough to mention it a little, so that the people of Luoyang City could know that Ben Hou would seek the well-being of the people of Luoyang and set up four schools of learning. Let's not talk about their character, let the people comment on it. ”

Zhang Tianai pouted after hearing this, and put the booklet away. Li Mu's move is much more ruthless than her. She led people to smash the shop, these people lost a little money at most, Luoyang City can't do business anymore, you can change to another city to continue to do it, but Li Mu's trick is a desperate means to dig the roots. Merchants do business, relying on word of mouth and reputation, all the merchants in Luoyang have donated money for the four schools, but a few of you don't have a penny, is it reasonable?

Who wants to buy your stuff from such a mercenary bad businessman?

"You're bad," Zhang Tianai said angrily, and said, "I'll go and ask someone to move the money to the treasury first, and remember to call me when you eat." ”

"Okay-" Jin Chen massaged so comfortably that Li Mudu was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted. He opened his eyes a little and saw Bai Qiaoqiao holding a book in his hand, and couldn't help but say: "Lady, the 'prenatal education' I told you last time was all casual nonsense. The child has not yet been born, what can he know? You're reading 10,000 books now, and if you don't want to learn it yourself, it's useless. Don't keep staring, take a break, take a break. ”

"Wait until I'm done with this." Bai Qiaoqiao dodged Li Mu's outstretched hand, and he had to finish reading it. Li Mu didn't want to rob her, he was curious that it was that book that could make his wife so fascinated, so he looked at the cover, and after seeing it clearly, he was speechless. The book that Bai Qiaoqiao read turned out to be the "Book of Songs" in the Four Books and Five Classics, is this really going to be the champion?

Jin Chen saw that Li Mu was speechless, so he leaned into his ear and whispered: "Husband, Qiaoqiao has been working hard recently, and a few days ago he asked me about the sentences in "The Mean", and I am far from being able to get a lot of insights. ”

Jin Chenqin, chess, calligraphy and painting know everything, what her background is, Li Mu knows in his heart. Hearing her say this, Li Mu was really surprised, Qiaoqiao had such a ability. Could it be, unconsciously, that Qiaoqiao is about to become a talented woman?

Li Mu got up, took the book away from Qiaoqiao's hand, and gently hugged her shoulders.

"Lady, why do you bother? It's tiring to read, you're pregnant, I like you, but I don't like you to read. There are enough 'talented girls' in the family, and I still like the way you were when I first met you. ”

Li Mu thought that Bai Qiaoqiao was inferior, and he wanted to make up for his low background through acquired efforts. This is a good thing, but Li Mu feels that Bai Qiaoqiao really doesn't need to do this. The so-called culture is a little bit of a thing. Literacy, being able to count is enough. If you learn too much, you will be distressed. Like those old scholars who failed in the imperial examination, they will be hindered by studying the scriptures all day long, where is the real use?

Li Mu didn't want Bai Qiaoqiao to be so tired.

Bai Qiaoqiao leaned on Li Mu's arms, grabbed his hand, and was silent at first, but later saw that Li Mu had been watching him, and he couldn't hide, so he had to say, "I want to help you." ”

"I don't need it!" Li Mu smiled: "I know you want to help me, but our family doesn't have to do anything you have to do now?" You don't want to look at Tianai in Jinyiwei, that's if she can't be idle, it's okay not to go without her, there's no need to compare this. You are pregnant with a child now, take good care of your body, give birth to the child smoothly, and carry on the family lineage, this is the greatest help to me. Everything else is trivial. ”

Bai Qiaoqiao blushed and said, "People can't conceive a child for the rest of their lives, wait for the child to be born and grow up." There will always be times when I'm idle, if I can't do anything......"

"Then no one dares to look down on you."

Bai Qiaoqiao shook his head and said, "It's not someone who looks down on me. I know that my sisters will not look down on me, and my husband will love me, let alone me. The subordinates of the family, afraid of their husband's blame, even if they look down on them in their hearts, they will not show it-"

"So, you just have a good rest, why are you so tired."

"The husband still didn't let people finish speaking." was interrupted twice in a row, Bai Qiaoqiao was a little unhappy, seeing her pouting, Li Mu hurriedly coaxed her and asked her to finish speaking: "This is not an outside matter, it is an inner matter in my heart, I can't hide behind my husband for the rest of my life, I can't help anything." I know I'm very small, but if I can help you a little bit, I'll be very happy—"

Bai Qiaoqiao looked into Li Mu's eyes and said, "Because we are husband and wife." ”

"Wife......" Bai Qiaoqiao's words made Li Mu almost shed tears. What he can't stand the most is like this. True feelings and false intentions can be distinguished at a glance. Bai Qiaoqiao has always been sincere to him, without any calculations, only sincere dedication, how could he not be moved?

Li Mu took a deep breath, made a decision in his heart, and said, "Lady, I understand your intentions." But if you read these books, even if you become a great Confucian, it will hardly help me, you are going in the wrong direction. Bai Qiaoqiao shook his head and said, "It's not anyone's business to look down on me." I know that my sisters will not look down on me, and my husband will love me, let alone me. The subordinates of the family, afraid of their husband's blame, even if they look down on them in their hearts, they will not show it-"
