I haven't slept all night and my nerves have been tense, and now everything is going well.

Tang Xidong couldn't bear it, and he couldn't take care of breakfast, so he just lay in his house in the back mountain and slept with his head down.

I didn't wake up until the end of the day.

Tang Xidong, who had recovered his spirits, thought of the current situation of the cottage, so he had to get up and rush to Qianshan.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xiao Qian waiting at the door walking briskly towards him.

"Childe, Miss has been waiting for you for a long time." Xiao Qian is becoming more and more obedient.

Tang Xidong had long thought that the other party would look for him, after all, he had a great merit on him, so he had to express it no matter what.

Dragging his heavy legs and lowering his head, Tang Xidong was taken by Xiao Qian to Liu Lianqing's small courtyard, and the small hall was already full of people, talking excitedly one by one.

As soon as Tang Xidong came in, the mountain bandits sitting on the chairs instantly got up to greet him, and Tang Xidong was really a little flattered when he saw this posture.

was arranged by Liu Lianqing to sit on the chair to his left, Tang Xidong knew that this was already a very high position.

"I asked Xiaoqian to look for you, but after thinking about it, you must be tired, after all, you have been busy all night, and there are still many places to count on you in the cottage in the future, and you can't do it without anyone around, I arranged for the second son of the seventh uncle's family to be your entourage in the future, and the second son will follow you in the future and run errands for you." Liu Lianqing poured a cup of tea herself, and what she said seemed to be very ordinary, at first glance, the two really looked like a young couple.

Tang Xidong leaned back in his chair and didn't care about talking, just picked up the tea and didn't care about whether it was hot or cold, and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Lianqing knew that he had acquiesced, so he sat back in his chair and continued: "Yesterday there was a lot of harvest, 50,000 taels of silver, 10,000 stones of grain, and 500 pieces of cloth, which solved the dilemma of lack of food in the cottage. ”

Deng Dahu and Liu Dagou, who had already known about it, and other people, had excitement in their eyes, and the property they robbed last night, just take out a little bit of it, and it is enough to solve the problem of the cottage.

Tang Xidong calculated in his mind, 50,000 taels of silver is a lot, but for the world-famous Jin merchants at this time, I am afraid that it is only a drop in the dime, and 10,000 stone of grain is about more than one million catties, which is really a lot. There are also five hundred pieces of good cloth, enough for the cottage to use for a long time.

It's just that the more grain there is, the hotter it is in your hand.

"Yesterday's caravan young master has been detained in Dushe, and his entourage is also together, and they have interrogated the identity of that person clearly, and it is determined that it is the eldest young master of the Kang family in Pingyang City, or the eldest son. In addition to the young master, there is also a steward who has returned from the capital division, and it is estimated that his status is not low. Liu Lianqing continued with an expressionless face.

Tang Xidong knocked on the table, and then said slowly: "Village master, Tang knows that you have a big enmity with the Kang family, but the young master still has to serve well now, and it will be of great use in the future." Grievances and revenge are reported early and late, and it is better to keep them for the time being. ”

Liu Lianqing's face changed for a while, she frowned and thought about it, she still didn't understand what the rich and noble son who was afraid of death was of great use, but she knew in her heart that Tang Xidong said that it was useful, and naturally had his own plans.

Besides, she also said in the morning that she was not in a hurry, so she nodded with a cold face.

"In the future, the cottage will not worry about food and clothing, and life will be better, all of this will depend on Tang Gongzi's advice and training of the village guard, I have also said before, after the matter is completed, you will be appointed as the military advisor of this cottage, then, from today onwards, you will sit in the fourth place of this cottage. I'll leave it to you to make suggestions in the future, after all, I'm a woman, and my ability is limited. Liu Lianqing rarely showed a hint of shyness.

When Tang Xidong heard this, the surprise on his face couldn't help it.

What does that mean? Tang Xidong was surprised not by appointing himself as a military advisor, but by the woman's family, isn't this admitting the relationship between the two of them in front of everyone?

Husband and wife?

Tang Xidong couldn't figure it out or believe it anyway, even if this woman had said that she was married to herself, but in Tang Xidong's opinion, it was just a joke, so he turned his face to look at Liu Lianqing, only to see that the pair of talking eyes dodged and looked to the side as soon as he turned his face.

Then I understood in my heart that I was a fool. Liu Lianqing has a good calculation, probably the other party also knows that his predecessor has a secret affection for her, so he kidnaps himself with feelings, and then says two words that seem to be between husband and wife, and he is a scholar who must not obediently work for others?

This cunning girl, whether she has feelings for herself Tang Xidong doesn't know, but he knows that the other party is definitely not to the point of admitting the relationship, and if he doesn't believe it, he will propose to stay overnight tonight, Liu Lianqing is afraid that he will turn his face immediately.

But Tang Xidong didn't make it clear, so he let Liu Lianqing play it.

"The matter of the military advisor, I should be inappropriate and appropriate. You can only see money and food, but no one can see this crisis that may come at any time. Tang Xidong chuckled, looked at the joyful mountain bandits in the hall, and poured a basin of cold water.

Seeing that everyone was inexplicably surprised, Tang Xidong continued: "Fifty thousand silver, ten thousand stone of grain is not a small amount, not to mention that there are still hundreds of corpses under the mountain now, think about whether the government and the Kang family can let us go?" ”

"But the robbery can be blamed on those masked men?" Liu Dagou said hesitantly.

When Deng Dahu heard this, he was also moved.

"Don't forget, those masked people are now buried in the woods, who knows what identity, what origin, what purpose? It happened at the foot of our mountain, the money and food were gone, naturally we did it, not to mention that the money and food were indeed in our hands, the government and the Kang family were not reasonable, people may not ask so much at all, just find a substitute for the dead ghost to vent their anger. Tang Xidong continued to intimidate a group of mountain bandits.

So, surprise, panic, and uneasiness crept up on one face after another.

In fact, the matter may not be as serious as Tang Xidong said, and he also wanted to scare this group of mountain bandits who were a little fluttering.

Yesterday, he also thought about ordering everyone not to touch the corpses on the ground, in order to let the government and the Kang family have traces to follow and find out the identity of the group of masked people, but after thinking about it, forget it, make the worst plan, and prepare early is the right way, what to do now is to prevent the Kang family from pressuring the government to find a substitute ghost at will, and the mountain bandits on Luoliang Mountain are the most ready-made and reasonable substitute ghosts.

"So what to do?" Liu Dagou asked in a panic.

"Take precautions early, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Tang Xidong said slowly.

"In this case, there is no delay, everyone has understood Mr. Tang's words, from now on, everyone in the cottage will obey Mr. Tang's dispatch, and the property will be distributed by Mr. Tang." Liu Lian said with a clear face.

Tang Xidong saw that the other party was so crisp, and then saw that there was no panic on her face, and he understood that the other party had already guessed his thoughts.

Indeed, Liu Lianqing was originally surprised by what Tang Xidong said, but when he saw that he was not surprised, he understood in his heart that Tang Xidong had already had a countermeasure in his heart, so he took the army.

At this moment, Tang Xidong had to become Liu Lianqing's worker.
