Chapter 191: Mandarin Ducks Frightened at the Foot of the Mountain

After breakfast, the officials who came to congratulate the birthday left one after another, Li Mao and Wang Xun are the sons-in-law of the Su family, so it is naturally inconvenient to leave, after the meal, Su Dong sent someone to invite Wang Xun and Su Rong and his wife to sit down, Wang Xun is the governor of a state after all, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and he will return to the city in the afternoon. Originally, Li Mao and his wife were also invited, but no one could be found left and right.

There is a low mountain in the territory of Su Nu Township, after the autumn, the jungle is stacked and green, colorful, after dinner, Su Qing took Li Mao to the Mandarin Duck Mountain where she often went in her childhood.

"When I was a kid, I played in these places, I rode bamboo horses, I was the boss, and they all followed me. We screamed and ran around the lake in the forest all day long, forgetting to eat, forgetting to go home, sitting by the lake in spring and autumn to fish and catch shrimp, and in the summer in the lake and stream, the good days seemed to never end...... In the blink of an eye, they have all grown up, and they go their separate ways, don't say that it is difficult to mix with me. ”

There are three peaks in Yuanyang Mountain, between the three peaks there is a rippling oval lake, the lake water in autumn is clear and clear, reflecting the colorful woods on the shore, which has a unique flavor. At noon, the warm breeze is smoky and drowsy. Su Qing took Li Mao's arm and walked on the grass by the lake, leaning her body towards him from time to time, since Li Mao came back from Yunzhou, her mentality has changed subtly, and she found that she began to become weak and became a little attached to him.

Li Mao said: "The feng shui here is good, if you build a house here, it is not bad to keep it for the future." ”

Su Qing said: "What feng shui do you know, this pattern is called a trapped dragon recess, even if you are a dragon, you will be trapped, and if you build a house and live here, you will not be able to take off for a lifetime." ”

Li Mao praised: "My wife also understands feng shui, it's good." ”

Su Qing exclaimed proudly: "That is, when I was young, I also read a lot of books, traveled thousands of miles, and knew thousands of people. He never thought that he would meet someone unladylike, and marry you, a martial artist, who can't be literate, and martial arts can't be martial. ”

Li Mao smiled: "You said I can't write and I admit it, you say I can't martial arts, which eye do you see that I can't martial arts?" ”

Su Qing snorted: "Is this worth seeing?" ”

Li Mao said: "Okay, I'll show you martial arts now." ”

The autumn grass under the trees by the lake has turned yellow, and the fallen leaves are very thick and soft, Li Mao took off his robe and spread it on the ground, and asked Su Qing to sit, Su Qing was too thin, so he took off his robe and covered it with a layer, and the two sat side by side, admiring the lake and mountains, and saying goodbye to each other.

After a short rest, his physical strength has fully recovered, the mountains and water here are good, the air is good, the temperature is suitable, fresh and exciting, and his performance is ten times better than usual. Su Qing couldn't help but scream out, startling Li Mao, and hurriedly gagged her, but was rudely pushed away by Su Qing.

Su Qing glared at him and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What are you afraid of in the wilderness?" Li Mao didn't know what he was afraid of, but his intuition told him that it was not appropriate to call, it was really not appropriate to call.

With this thought in mind, Li Mao made a quick decision and ended hastily. Although the process was a little sloppy, Su Qing was still satisfied, her husband was young and strong, and he cared about him, which made her remember it every time.

She sat up with a red face, silently put on her dress, and whispered in Li Mao's ear: "The last few times are really comfortable." Li Mao nodded on her sweaty forehead and scolded: "Who let you yell and scream, I will be flustered, otherwise, you will be useful." Su Qing laughed and said, "I don't call, are you willing to die?" ”

The couple's ridicule ended here, but on a crooked-necked pine tree not far from here, several naughty children suddenly shouted in unison: "'I don't scream, are you willing to die?'" ’”

It was like a thunderclap, which shocked Su Qing's soul and fled.

Li Mao was thick-skinned and took a string of money to buy the children, and several "onlookers" took a benefit fee from Li Mao's hand that was enough for them to buy a cart of candy, and vowed never to spread what they saw, but how credible the children's words were, the couple was not sure. For a period of time after that, Su Qing tried her best to avoid seeing Li Mao on occasions where there were not many people, and when she saw Li Mao, she was flustered, panting, blushing, her nervous hands were cold, and her palms were sweaty. When she had to see him, she blushed and lowered her head, refusing to say a word to him.

Everyone said that Su Sanniang, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, finally made people surrender and became like a woman, feminine, good, very good, it is a great thing.

According to the pre-plan, Li Mao received an urgent official letter from Yunzhou on the day he arrived in Su Nu Township, and he took this official letter to leave Su Nu Township and go to Caozhou to do some official business, and then "inadvertently" discovered Zheng Heye's corruption case, and then ...... Everything fell into place. In order to avoid startling the snake, before Li Mao came to Sunv Township, he urged Caozhou to investigate the case of Ge Shilai, the county governor of Nanhua County, who killed his wife and son. Ge Shilai was found by his wife because he was raising a foreign house, and he killed his wife and son in anger, which aroused great public anger in the local area, but because he was well-connected in Caozhou, the local government was reluctant to file a case.

Li Mao sent a letter to Caozhou, claiming that if Caozhou did not file a case and investigate, he would intervene, which forced Caozhou to dismiss Ge Shilai and investigate it. The case was greatly outraged by the people, and was soon learned by Li Shigu. Li Mao is now in Caozhou, and it is reasonable for him to go over and inquire after receiving Li Shigu's letter of inquiry.

The official letter arrived as scheduled, and Li Mao made an appointment to meet Wang Xun to inquire about the matter, but the case involved a wide range of people and the progress was slow, and Wang Xun's answer was not satisfactory, so Li Mao took the opportunity to propose that he personally go to Nanhua County to try the case.

This is a smoke bomb set off by Li Mao, intended to stabilize Wang Xun. Wang Xun returned to Caozhou one step ahead of schedule, the people were still on the road, the fast horse had arrived in Nanhua County, and when he returned to Caozhou City, Nanhua County ordered Wu Zhendun and Yousi officials were already waiting, everyone discussed secretly for one night, set a coping strategy, Wu Zhendun and others did not even drink hot tea, they were sent away by Wang Xun.

Just when Wang Xun and local officials in Nanhua conspired to deal with Li Mao, Zheng Heye, the county commander of Jiyin County, the first county of Caozhou, suddenly disappeared. Zheng Heye drank alcohol at a private prostitute's house, and when he drank half smoked, he said that he went to the toilet, but he never returned, the organizers of the wine bureau and the prostitute thought that he had gone home, and the family thought that he had stayed at the prostitute's house at night and did not return, and the county officials thought that the county lord had drunk high again and was resting in bed. So no one cares.

Zheng Heye only stayed on the torture rack of Tonghutou for a cup of tea and recruited everything, and at noon on the second day, he went home after going to the county government first, and after returning home, he said that he was tired and rested in bed, everything was as usual, and no one was alarmed. Before Li Maoren arrived in Caozhou City, he got Zheng Heye's confession. Li Mao understood that at least half of this 20-piece thick confession was concocted by the copper tiger head, but in this era of heavy confession and light evidence, these 20 pieces of paper were enough to freeze the life and death of Wang Xun and most of the officials in Caozhou.

The difficulty of arresting Wang Xun in Caozhou depends largely on Liang Chengdong's attitude, and if Liang Chengdong intervenes, it will be difficult and even frustrated. Li Mao secretly interviewed Liang Chengdong, and learned that Li Mao's trip was aimed at Wang Xun, Liang Chengdong took the case, smashed the cup and shouted angrily: "Bastard!" How much has Wang Changshi done for the Li family over the years, how can he cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”

Li Mao said quietly: "There are so many reports about him like snowflakes, how do you want to be handsome?" Liang Chengdong stiffened his neck, knocked on the table and shouted: "This year, it's very chaotic, and if you want to do something, you will inevitably offend people!" You can kill a few people because you offend a few people and there are many people who hate him, right? If you do this, who will work for the festival commander in the future? You people, who are high up in the sky, always take things for granted, how do you know the difficulty of doing practical things below? I don't agree with this, unless you have a warrant from the marshal, you don't want to arrest people in Caozhou. ”
