The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Qin Niang broke out of Li Mao's arms, struggled out of bed, and limped out of the room, she was going to prepare breakfast. Thinking of the ruthless attack on her last night, Li Mao was deeply disturbed, and it was a kind of love in depth, but after all, she was still a weak woman, and she was a first-time taster, and the madness in her was really unreasonable.

Li Mao quietly got out of bed and followed.

Qin Niang hit a bucket of water on the well platform, rested and gasped for a while, then pulled a leg, brought the water to the kitchen, and held the stove to gasp slightly, she has been used to working since she was a child, although she is small but not small, it is not a problem to carry such a bucket of water.

"Stinky monk, he almost broke me apart."

Just whispered a complaint, Qin Niang realized that something was wrong, Li Mao's tall body blocked the light, making the small kitchen even darker.

Yes! Qin Niang screamed, subconsciously ran behind the stove, Li Mao's slender arms were like two giant pythons, mercilessly wrapped around her waist, and lifted her whole person, Qin Niang screamed, kicked and beaten, struggled hard for a while, and had layers of fine sweat on her body. She didn't move and said, "Let go." ”

The voice was cold, and Li Mao hurriedly let go of her:

"What's wrong?"

He asked gently, as soon as he bent down, his head was hugged by Qin Niang, she held Li Mao's face, pecked his face like a chicken pecking rice, pecked him itchy and crispy, and couldn't stop.

Li Mao picked her up and asked her to sit on the stove......

When the stove collapsed, they moved to the four-legged table, which soon fell apart.

Then there is the water tank......

Half an hour later, the two came out of the stove, their faces were covered with ashes, Qin Niang followed Li Mao with her head down, and when she looked up at him, she always wanted to laugh.

Li Mao wanted to wash it with a bucket of water, but found that his arms seemed to be filled with lead, and the bucket weighing more than ten catties slipped several times in a row.

Ten days later, Li Mao sent Qinniang to Caozhou City and found an inn to live in. Li Mao personally sent Qinniang to Caozhou, one is that the two are newly married Yan'er, and they are reluctant to give up, and the two Xue Rong and his wife cross the border, and it is necessary for him to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, in fact, Li Mao also has a selfish heart, which was buried deep in his heart by him after seeing Xue Rong and his wife, and never mentioned it again. I haven't seen her for a year, Webster is completely like a different person, she is thin and only has bones left, she looks like a skeleton from a distance, her ruddy and smooth face is now dull and yellow, bloodless, her eyes are long gone, her eyes are still very big, but she is sluggish, she doesn't think, she doesn't say anything, and she can't say two sentences to be in a daze.

Ge Rixiu's wife had gone to Yunzhou to treat her, and Mrs. Ge concluded that Wei's lamp had run out of oil, and the gods could not do anything about it, and the deadline was only within the year.

Wei treats Li Mao well, Li Mao has always regarded her as a respectable eldest sister-in-law, seeing her fall like this, Li Mao's heart hurts, he can suddenly understand Qin Niang's state of mind, he turned to support Qin Niang to return to Baoding County with Xue Rong and his wife, so as to take care of her last journey.

Xue Rong talked with Li Mao all night, and at dawn, he said to Li Mao: "Li Shigu can't tolerate Yu Hualong, and Yu Hualong also disobeys Li Shigu. I thought there was going to be a big change in Lonely Mountain soon, so you should be on your guard. ”

Seeing that Li Mao's response was not enthusiastic, Xue Rong sighed again, and said in an accentuated tone: "Shandong Towns, killing the handsome is child's play, Li Shigu may not dare to make a big show about Gushan Town, but it is easy to instigate an infighting, and it is easy to get rid of Hualong, and it is really difficult to predict who will kill the deer at that time, how can you not be cautious." ”

Li Mao was sweating in horror, and hurriedly asked Xue Rong for advice on how to deal with it, Xue Rong said: "It's best to hang up like me and go away, but I'm afraid you don't want to." The wind and rain are coming, and it is natural to hold the thickest tree in order to take refuge. ”

Li Mao asked suspiciously: "The two tigers are fighting, who can sit firmly in Diaoyutai?" ”

Xue Rong smiled faintly and didn't speak, Li Mao suddenly understood, just a wry smile, but didn't say it.

Qin Niang left, Xue Rong and his wife also left, Li Mao suddenly felt very lonely, his heart was always empty, and at this moment he understood that his life in the Tang Dynasty had just begun.

After the beginning of spring, the town of Gushan is in full swing, the gods who bought the land, began to build a large number of buildings, the cargo ships transporting sand and gravel and wood blocked the channel, in order to transport the building materials into the city as soon as possible, they competed to bribe the city defense battalion, it was the most ordinary doorman who could get a benefit fee or two a day, Li Mao did not mind them getting a little money, but they needed to fulfill their duties, he personally arranged several secret visits, and punished a few campers who ate and took cards in public and did not do anything with money.

The camp guards were a little confused, and asked Qingmo for advice, Qingmo waved his small hand, and said arrogantly: "The money is still collected, but things have to be done well, those who take the money and don't do things deserve to be unlucky." It dawned on everyone.

Li Mao was quite satisfied with Qingmo's explanation, he stood on the east tower of Gushan Town, looked at the sail on the lake in the distance, and pondered the words that Xue Rong explained before parting, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. Under the glitz and glamour of Gushan Town on the surface, it is an undercurrent surging, and after the beginning of spring, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the trouble is very tense.

Li Mao's status determined that he could not participate in this competition deeply, but he could not stay out of it, which made him very distressed, and after some careful consideration, Li Mao decided to go to Yunzhou and try to hug the thickest thigh. It's just that at this juncture, when he went to Yunzhou, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring, in order to make this trip seem reasonable, Li Mao racked his brains, but he was still at a loss.

Li Mao came down from the city tower and walked towards the neighboring Zhenshan Fang, and the accompanying Mo Qi Shentong reminded: "I will go to General Zhao's mansion for a banquet in the evening." Li Mao's brows furrowed, this was the third time Zhao Hede had invited him to a banquet in ten days. Since Haizhou came back, Li Mao's body has been branded with the mark of Zhao Hede's lineage, for which he has gained a lot of benefits, such as successfully becoming the envoy of the city bureau, but Li Mao has always deliberately kept a distance from Zhao Hede, familiar but not intimate.

Zhao Hede also consciously maintained this relationship between the two, and he must also know that Li Mao is not an easy person to tame, and pressing too hard may backfire.

But recently, Zhao Hede has frequently courted Li Mao, and the undercurrent in Gushan Town is surging, and he needs allies.

"Got it." Li Mao replied weakly, and still walked into Zhenshanfang, where there is a very authentic steamed fish restaurant, Li Mao has been to it twice, and his impression is very good. As soon as a steamed fish was served, a young head and a half-old broke in, and the two knelt in front of Li Mao, shouting for help in unison.

He pulled out his knife and looked outside, and there were no different people on the street.

Li Mao recognized that the cangtou was the old slave of the clerical family, so he helped the two of them up and asked what was the matter.

The woman said: "If the city bureau does not agree, the old body will kneel to death and not get up." ”

Li Mao smiled: "If you don't get up, I won't agree." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, but stood up obediently.

Mo Qi Shentong drew his knife and stood up, startling the neighbors, Li Mao led the two people to the backyard, and the shopkeeper knew Li Mao and quickly arranged a room.

The woman who entered the door was about to kneel again, but was grabbed by the cangtou, and the cangtou shouted: "The city bureau is not an outsider, the head of the family is in trouble, how can he stand by and watch, you just say, where do you come from so many courtesies." ”

Only then did the woman wipe her red eyes and explain her intentions, it turned out that when the clerk went to the Ziqing Festival embassy to verify the grain and grass, the number of account books did not match, and the military judge suspected that the clerk was corrupt and seized him on the spot. The embezzlement is extraordinary, the clerk does not dare to use the relationship related to Yu Hualong, and he has followed Yu Hualong for more than ten years, in addition to these relationships, he has no powerful relationship in Yunzhou, so he had to buy the prison and give a letter to his wife Wu, asking her to take the fine soft to Yunzhou to dredge.

When Wen's wife heard that her husband was detained, she immediately panicked, and after crying, the whole person was stunned, unable to say a word, and couldn't come up with an idea. Clerk Cheng has always been known as a cold-faced judge in the Qing Navy, and he is a little unkind, so he doesn't have many friends, there are one or two, and because he is too close to Yu Hualong, the Wen family doesn't dare to ask for it.

After Mrs. Wen was stunned, her adoptive mother, Aunt Qi, made the decision and came to Li Mao for help. Li Mao used to be a subordinate of the clerk, and after serving as the envoy of the city bureau, he also had an intersection in official affairs, and he was a frequent visitor to the Wen family.

Mrs. Qi is old and refined, and she sees that Li Mao is a person who can be trusted, so she asks for help.

Li Mao nodded silently and said to Aunt Qi: "This matter still requires my sister-in-law to come forward in person, what is her condition?" Aunt Qi said: "The devil is stunned, and I can't say a word." ”

Li Mao summoned Mo Qi's supernatural power and asked him to invite Mrs. Ge, and when he met at the Wen family, Mrs. Ge took the pulse and said with a smile: "Angry, if any of you slaps her, she will be fine." Everyone looked at each other, and Mrs. Ge smiled slightly, ignored everyone, and left. Li Mao said to Aunt Qi: "You raised her since she was a child, and if you slap her, she can't do anything to you." Aunt Qi said: "Amitabha, how big her temper is, you don't know, how dare I fight." Let the cangtou do it, the cangtou coughed and coughed, and waved his hand again and again to say that his chest was tight.

Qingmo rolled up his sleeves and walked in front of Mrs. Wen, said offended, and slapped it, Mrs. Wen's fair face suddenly showed a five-finger handprint, the person was stunned for a moment, rubbed his face with his hand, and asked, "Which of you beat me?" ”

When Aunt Qi saw her wake up, she said: "You have been stunned for a few days, I am afraid of delaying the rescue of Langjun, so I ask the city bureau to wake you up." When Mrs. Wen heard this, she squatted down to Li Mao and gave a salute, and said with red eyes: "Da Lang is in trouble, I am a woman and a Taoist family who is so scared that the six gods have no master, and they have no idea, and everything depends on my uncle." Li Mao said: "I accompanied my sister-in-law to Yunzhou, if it is just an error in the account book, it must not be a big deal, just dredge it." ”

Mrs. Wen wiped her tears, gave another salute, and said, "It's all up to my uncle." ”
