Early in the morning, the little girl shouted that she wanted to go to the back garden to catch butterflies, lured the two to the back garden, and said that she wanted to play hide and seek, three dodges and two dodges, and the person was gone.

Later, when they heard that the guards had gone to the Governor's Mansion, the two of them hurried over with a fire in their stomachs. Although Yi Niang is small, her momentum is very strong, she fights with her mother without saying a word, how can a five-year-old child be the opponent of the two mothers-in-law, she was caught in her arms for a while, and she was slapped on the buttocks, this little girl did not cry or scream, gritted her teeth and endured it.

Qingmo shook his head and sighed: "The wicked must grind the wicked, and the little goblin has no choice but to admit bad luck when he encounters the old goblin." ”

Seeing that Yi Niang was at a loss, Li Mao coughed.

The voice was not loud, but it surprised the mother, they can discipline the children, but there is a difference between inside and outside, and if Mrs. Pei knows, she will be punished, and the two of them also know Li Mao and know that he can talk to Mrs. Pei.

Yi Niang was tired and panting, her little face was flushed, standing there snorting and panting, Li Mao helped him at a critical moment, she was grateful, but thinking of Zhu Wan'er's tragic situation, she couldn't help but feel hatred in her heart, she spat at Li Mao, and said hatefully: "I hate it, I hate it, I hate you to death." ”

The little girl dropped this sentence and lost her temper with the two mothers who were restrained: "Why are you stunned, go back with me." ”

The two mothers squatted down to Li Mao flatteringly, and honestly followed Yi Niang.

Qingmo looked at Yi Niang's back, shook his head, and said, "Good girl, how old is this, and she will be a tigress when she grows up." Li Mao wanted to ask Qingmo about Zhu Wan'er's current situation, but when the words came to his lips, Zhu Wan'er was greatly wronged in the correctional home, okay, if she was safe and sound, Yi Niang would not jump out for her. Thinking of that smiling face like a peach blossom, Li Mao's heart felt like a needle pricked.

Like Caozhou, in order not to startle the snake, Li Mao went to Dengzhou to investigate the case of the grain judge in Zhenhaicheng, Dengzhou, who resold military rations. Different from the Pinglu Army and the Qing Navy, the grain officials of the town navy stationed in each town were concurrently served by the local officials, and the grain judge of Dengzhou Zhenhai City was concurrently served by Dengzhou Sihu Lu Shi. The reason why the grain officer in the army is regarded as a fat poor is that the power in his hands is too large, Lu Shi's personality is still decent, he just took out some moldy old grain that was accumulated at the bottom of the warehouse and sold it, and most of the proceeds were used to buy meat and vegetables to improve the life of the sergeant, and there were not many of them that were really put into his private pocket.

The reason why the East Window incident happened was precisely because he was too decent and failed to make a fortune together with the public and private people, which aroused official resentment, and some people wanted to take advantage of the situation to pull him off the horse, but accidentally used too much force, pulled off the belt and dropped his pants to expose the unsightly things, and the soldiers mutinied, and the trouble could not end.

Li Mao is the left judge of the picket account of the Observation Office, and according to the division of labor, he has no right to investigate and handle cases specifically, and even if he temporarily investigates cases on behalf of the right judge under special circumstances, he can only investigate and handle local cases according to the rules, and has no right to extend his hand to the army, which shows that this case will only investigate Lu Shi and will not go any further. Knowing that Li Mao was handling the case, the personnel involved in the case in the army breathed a sigh of relief.

But there is one person who doesn't see it that way, Huang Guyang, who replaced Zhang Shuye as the envoy of the town navy, knows that this matter will not be so simple, Li Mao is a trump card in Li Shigu's hands, how can he make a move easily? The town navy is different from the Pinglu army, it was raised by the stepmother, and the town navy was beaten by this case, isn't it in line with Li Shigu's consistent style?

But Huang Guyang is different from Zhang Shuye, Huang Yanggu was transferred from the Pinglu Army to the Zhen Navy, and he has nothing to do with the Zhen Navy, he is not afraid that the shady curtain of the Zhen Navy will be revealed by Li Mao, nor is he distressed that Zhenhai City will be turned upside down, his only worry is that the army's heart is unstable due to the investigation of the case, so that he, the main general, will bear the black pot.

Therefore, Huang Yanggu did not avoid suspicion, took the initiative to visit Li Mao, expressed his full support for Li Mao's investigation of the case in person, and instructed his righteous son Huang Dong to go with Li Mao in person, leading the horse and pedaling for drive.

Li Mao knew the purpose of Huangyang Valley's visit, so he comforted: "General rest assured, Li Mao knows the priorities." Huangyang Valley was overjoyed and said goodbye and left. After he left, the brothers Shi Kong and Shi Xiong brought over a box, saying that it was a gift from Huangyang Valley. Li Mao took advantage of the wine to open the box, and was dazzled by the golden light, and the box was full of yellow and clear gold nuggets. Shi Xiong picked up a piece, checked it, and said, "This is the gold brick of Silla, and the condition is not bad." Li Mao waved his hand and let people carry him away.

said to Su Qing: "**, it's too much**, I must find out when I go." ”

Su Qing sneered: "Big greed and small greed, where do you get the confidence?" Li Mao said: "You can't say that, thousands of miles of being an official is for money, fake public and private, human nature, if you say that you are not greedy or occupied, what is the meaning of being an official, especially those petty officials and officials, whose career is hopeless, but you can point to this bit of oil and water?" The problem is that it's not good to be greedy for trouble, it's all over the place, everyone knows it, and we are embarrassed, how can it end up if we don't investigate a few? ”

Su Qing said: "You are such a big official, you have traveled so far for such a trivial matter, don't you have something to hide from me?" Tell you the truth, what are you going to do in Dengzhou? Xiaoru interjected: "I'm afraid that Jinwu Zangjiao has a good match." Li Mao snorted and knocked Xiao Ru on the head with a folding fan, Xiao Ru shrank her neck and slipped behind Su Qing to ask for shelter. Su Qing pushed her aside in annoyance, still staring at Li Mao. Li Mao smiled awkwardly and said, "You don't want to think about me as badly, I really want to go for public and private purposes." He said as he leaned back on the chair.

Xiaoru stuffed a bowl of tea into his hand, stood behind him and pinched his shoulders for him, Li Mao snorted proudly, and said to Su Qing with his eyebrows: "Isn't our family going to do overseas business, there is a way that it is better to be a county official than to take care of it now, instead of asking someone to do something, it is better for them to come and beg me." I'm going to Enwei and use it together, let them know that I'm a good person, and pave the way for our family's business. ”

Dengzhou is the most important overseas trade port in the north of the Tang Dynasty, how many people guard her to get rich, Li Mao has long wanted to do something, after Su Qing arrived in Yunzhou, this matter officially began to prepare, but because there is no foundation in Dengzhou, repeatedly hit a wall, Su Qing knows the difficulty of this matter, listening to Li Mao say this, the suspicion is slightly resolved, but the jealousy aroused by Xiaoru has not subsided. As soon as she came to Yunzhou, she heard that Li Shigu was going to marry the niece of a cook in the family to Li Mao as a concubine, and it was said that the girl was young and beautiful, intelligent, and made good dishes, which won Li Mao's favor.

She asked Qingmo for confirmation from the side, but Qingmo avoided answering, she was even more suspicious. Later, she learned that the girl's name was Zhu Wan'er, and her family had committed a crime and was confiscated as a slave, and Li Shigu rewarded him to Li Mao for the purpose of entrapping his subordinates, which made Su Qing's heart feel a little better. But Li Mao's actions after that made her difficult to let go, Li Mao not only overturned the case for his family, but also begged Li Shigu to release him as a citizen, where is this girl now, Li Mao is easy to make a comeback after being idle, why do you want to go to Dengzhou at this juncture, whether Xiaoru said that out of inadvertence, or did she know something, whether her husband is a righteous man and a gentleman, has been cut off from Zhu Wan'er, or is he broken and entangled, and he is going to Dengzhou to meet her. Su Qing was suspicious of a dark ghost, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"I'll go with you to see it."

"I'm going to serve the public, what's the matter with my family."

"I'll go quietly."

"That's not going to work, it's a joke."

"You still have a ghost in your heart."

"The conscience of heaven and earth."

“…… I'll pack your clothes for you for as long as you're going. ”

Xiaoru hurriedly said, "I'll come." The question in Su Qing's heart is also her question, and she hopes that something will come to light.

Li Mao smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, what do you think of me?" Xiao Ru was not there, Su Qing's gaze became gentle, and she said softly: "I have seen that Zhu girl, a very good girl." ”

Li Mao said: "You don't have to test me, I have nothing to do with her, and I can't get rid of her uncle's death, I won't introduce an enemy into the house." ”

Su Qing sighed, twisted his neck, and stretched again. said: "It's okay if you don't, I'm sleepy, you can go to bed early." He said to go, but he didn't move, and he stood there grinding and chirping with his waist pinched, but he didn't move. Li Mao leaned over and hugged her from behind, interlocking his fingers, Li Mao kissed Su Qing's neck, from bottom to top, kissing her red and glamorous lips.

Su Qing never used lipstick and rouge, but her lips were still ruddy and lovely. After a long kiss, Su Qing's cheeks became more and more ruddy and cute. "I don't ask about you, take care of yourself."

Li Mao nodded gratefully and said, "I will, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"Wang Xun's death really has nothing to do with you?" Su Qing's words came abruptly, and Li Mao was stunned. "Although I did not kill Boyan, Boyan died because of me. I can't get away with his death, but I really didn't kill him. ”

Su Qing lowered her eyebrows and hummed softly, and muttered: "He is actually innocent of death, I just pity my sister, she is still young, and the future days will be long." ”

Li Mao held Su Qing's round arm and said: "Wang Xun is a loner, and he has no parents and brothers, the second sister's life is really difficult, you take her family over first, and then find a good person for her when you meet a suitable one in the future." ”

Su Qing asked, "How is Zhang Xuan?" ”

Li Mao said: "A person is a good person, I'm afraid that he is too self-motivated." ”

Su Qing laughed, Li Mao also laughed, he helped his wife sit down, and scolded with a smile: "What are you laughing at, you have something to say." Su Qing stopped laughing and said seriously: "A few years ago, he was just a farmer who was digging in the soil, and it was a sin for a daughter like us to look at it, and it was only a few years, and we couldn't climb high." ”

Li Mao said: "It's not all because of this, Wang Xun's identity is a little complicated......"

Su Qing lowered his face coldly and said: "Speaking of which, his death is still related to you, you don't have to explain, in fact, I also know that it was not you who forced him to death, and he would still be unable to escape death if he was replaced by another person, or he would not have died so decently." He Zhang Xuan is really such a person, if he doesn't marry, my sister and my nephews, I will raise them. ”

Li Mao was silent for a moment and said: "He is different from Qingmo and Shentong, I can make decisions about their affairs, and I can only beat the side drum for his affairs." What does the second sister mean? ”

Su Qing said: "What can she mean, she hasn't woken up yet, it's just that, you still don't care about these things, what are you going to do in Dengzhou, I said too much and you are upset, I just want to remind you that the water in Dengzhou is very deep, don't choke." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "I keep Madame's teachings in mind, it's not too early, let's rest early." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Mao met Qi Huangdong and Yajun with him, and a group of more than 30 people rushed to Dengzhou. (Dissertation College)
