Chapter 14: The Plague of Innocence

Cui Bai and his entourage walked home, and a black shadow rushed out from the corner of the wall, and ran to the west corner in the surprised eyes of passers-by.

In the west corner of Changle County, there is a large courtyard, the courtyard wall is one zhang and two feet high, and the leaves are overflowing over the wall.

A pair of Pixiu in front of the door means that money only goes in and out, which is a commonly used fortune beast in front of the door of merchants.

Step on the steps, there is a drum stone on each side, which is used to ward off evil spirits.

The door is a vermilion lacquer copper buckle, a pair of gilt bronze beast head knockers look graceful and luxurious, the door slowly opens, a middle-aged man wearing a silk cloth purple robe and a melon skin hat raises his feet and crosses the threshold.

On the street, a four-lift foot warmer came to Li's house under the leadership of a few signs, Li Sheng looked carefully, and the first sign said Changle County Order, so he leaned over.

The sedan stopped, and a person walked out of the sedan chair, wearing a green robe and embroidered with an emu in front of him, who was Jiang Yizhong of Changle Zhixian County.

Jiang Yizhong stretched out his hand to help Li Sheng and said, "Li Yuanwai, it's been good lately."

Li Sheng replied: "Thanks to my parents, this time the sea went very smoothly, the goods are still in Zhangzhou, and when I go back to Fuzhou, I will let my subordinates pick some special products and send them to my parents' house."

raised his hand and motioned for Jiang Yizhong to come in and speak, and a person on the corner of the street just rushed out and saw the official sedan chair back in the alley.

Seeing that Li Sheng invited Jiang Yizhong in, he ran towards the back of the courtyard in his heart.

Jiang Yizhong came to Li's house for the first time since he took office, and he was very happy as soon as he entered the courtyard, and asked, "Li Yuanwai, who mentioned this word?"

Li Sheng was calm and calm, but he had to draw a lot of effort to get this sentence.

Jiang Yizhong asked, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to show off, and said: "It was made by the old minister of the Lin family in Lianpu in the West Lake, and the contemptible people asked for it, and the stone carving is here, if my parents like me, I can send the original manuscript to my parents."

Jiang Yizhong waved his hand, the word is a good word, but the meaning is not good.

Li Sheng saw that Jiang Yizhong didn't mention it, and didn't say anything more, and took Jiang Yizhong to the hall.

All kinds of flowers and plants in the courtyard, if spring comes, flowers and butterflies must reflect each other, there are two old trees in the courtyard, and the roots of the trees will be raised on the top of the floor tiles.

This Li family must have taken over this courtyard from someone else, and there was no Li family in the big Changle family before.

Entering the lobby, Jiang Yizhong had to admit that this was much better than his own county office.

Take a sip of tea, the authentic West Lake Longjing, or these businessmen will enjoy it, and the people are wearing silk cloth.

The chair under his ass is probably worth a year's worth of his own money, Jin Si Nanmu.

But so what, in the face of the official, he still has to call his parents, and he still has to be a fool.

After drinking tea, Jiang Yizhong sat down solemnly and asked, "Li Yuanwai, please come over today, but you need the help of this official for something?"

If you are looking for an official, if you have nothing to do, then you will be sorry for your own heart.

As soon as Li Sheng was about to mention it, he was pulled by the housekeeper, Li Sheng knew that his housekeeper was rigorous, so he reminded himself in front of the county magistrate that something must have happened.

He could only reply: "The contemptible people have been adrift at sea for a long time, and the family has to be taken care of by their parents, so that the contemptible people can rest assured. Lao Luo told you that Biluochun and rock tea have not come up yet. ”

Li Sheng turned back to Jiang Yizhong and said: "The people in the family are sloppy, and Xin is under the rule of the adult, Changle is such a healthy world, otherwise I don't dare to go out to do business."

Jiang Yizhong also saw the small actions of the Li family's housekeeper, and saw through it and said that he was a gentleman, no matter how he said that people were praising him, he immediately said: "Since this official is Changle's parents, he should clarify the rule of officials and make decisions for the people."

Li Sheng is also a person who understands the Tao, and he is another compliment.

After tasting tea, bragging.

Jiang Yizhong finally carried more than a dozen kinds of tea out of the door of the Li family, and Li Sheng waited for Jiang Yizhong's sedan chair to disappear from his eyes and said angrily: "What's the matter?"

Li Hai went home last night and happened to meet Li Sheng, who had just returned from Zhangzhou, and immediately asked when he saw his own bloodstains.

Knowing that Li Hai was planning to attack the Cui family, Li Sheng beat him with a horsewhip.

After the beating, Li Sheng began to think about how to deal with the Cui family, assassination and poisoning were ruled out one by one, and in the end he could only defend passively.

Who knew that the people under his command came to report early this morning, saying that the next time the thousand households came to the county seat, they would come straight to the county seat.

Li Sheng was determined and sent someone to invite Jiang Yizhong, wanting Jiang Yizhong to cure Xiong Bozhong's crimes.

I was just about to speak, but I was stopped, and if there was no reasonable explanation, the housekeeper who had followed him for more than ten years would have to go down to the sea to feed the fish.

Ti Bu walked to the lobby, and the housekeeper Lao Luo followed and told him what he knew.

It turned out that Lao Luo had been letting people keep an eye on Xiong Bozhong, so that Jiang Yizhong could take people at any time, and naturally he also saw that the master came to let Xiong Bozhong out of the city.

In any case, this means that Jiang Yizhong does not intend to pursue Xiong Bozhong for leading troops into the city.

If Li Sheng brought it up, he would offend Jiang Yizhong.

After hearing this, Li Sheng was a little puzzled and asked: "This unauthorized transfer of troops is a capital crime, why is Jiang Yizhong not prosecuted?" Could it be that the Cui family has a relationship with the newly appointed magistrate? ”

Lao Luo said Cui Bai's words again, and Li Sheng suddenly realized.

"Self-defilement, this trick is good, but who gave him this idea, I know very well how he is Xiong Bozhong."

Lao Luo carefully recalled the bits and pieces of his return, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Master, it should be the son of the Cui family, and that passage is what he said to the neighborhood."

Li Sheng looked at the tea bowl in his hand, it was really different.

"Where is Lehi?"

Lao Luo was suddenly asked and couldn't find the north, why did he suddenly ask about his son, he was beaten so hard by you yesterday, what else can he do except lie in the room.

"Second Young Master, this should be in the room to recuperate."

Li Sheng stood up and walked to the backyard, followed by Lao Luo.

After a while, an amazing shout came from the backyard of the Li family.

The Cui family was different, with the help of the sergeant, the Cui family quickly cleaned up the dilapidated wing room.

Accompanied by the sergeant, Cui's mother took Cui Xi and Cui Ping out to buy cloth, and Cui Bai also took the opportunity to put forward the need to make his own schoolbag.

Xiong Bozhong was talking to Cui Bai's grandmother in the house, Cui Shou and Cui Fu were taking care of Cui Lu and decocting medicine.

Cui Bai could only practice calligraphy quietly, and Cui Bai found that his ink was soon missing.

Thinking about his current situation, Cui Bai directly brought a bucket of water, and the ink was not so thick that as long as he could see the shape of the font.

Wait, wait until you get through this and then think of a way to make money.

The Cui family was peaceful, and the Li family stopped, and then it sounded again.

Li Hai's biological mother saw that Li Hai was beaten bloody, and expressed her dissatisfaction to Li Sheng with a cry.

Li Sheng looked at the two mothers and sons who were crying, handed the whip in his hand to Lao Luo, and shed a sentence as he left.

"Don't trouble the Cui family, or you will get out of the Li family."

After speaking, Li cried even louder, and Li Shengquan couldn't hear it.

Lao Luo caught up with Li Sheng and asked, "Master, are we really not going to do anything to the Cui family?"

Li Sheng looked at the grasshopper on the treetops, reached out and grabbed it and handed it to Lao Luo.
