Li Cheng agreed with what Mo Xiaofei said, but after thinking about it seriously, he really couldn't talk about it.

Li Cheng said, "Virtuous nephew, in fact, this matter is also my speculation, there is no real evidence, there are some things I can't say, and this matter involves the secrets of the Luo army, I can't say it, I can't say it." ”

The more he couldn't say it, the more interested Mo Xiaofei became, it turned out that Du Dayong's death also involved the secrets in the Luo army, what kind of secret was it.

However, Li Cheng didn't dare to say it, Mo Xiaofei said that it was useless, it was better to talk about other topics and deepen the relationship with Li Cheng.

It turned out that after the war with Xiaorongguo, Li Cheng returned to Chengzhou Mansion to continue farming, and soldiers like him who were temporarily recruited in times of war did not need any training on weekdays.

However, in order to support this batch of reserve troops, as long as the people who have been on the battlefield, even if they return to their hometowns to farm, they can receive 20 taels a year.

Mo Xiaofei looked at the dilapidated house and said, "Uncle Li, according to the family's annual income is not low, planting fields or something, and twenty taels of silver as a subsidy, it's time to put some good things in the family." ”

Li Cheng was in pain, and said helplessly, "It is said that this is the case, but every year I go to the Luo Army General Army's Mansion to receive subsidies, and I only get a few taels of silver from deduction to deduction, and I have no hope this year, I have already gone three times, and the people from the General Army's Mansion said that this year's military salary is tight, and it may not be given." ”

Li Cheng had some hatred in his eyes, and said, "The world is not fair, some people have a way, and they will receive the subsidy in their hands early, I don't know any officials, if it is gone this year, let alone think about it in the future." ”

Since he is Du Dayong's brother, Mo Xiaofei can't see the predicament of Li Cheng's family and not take action.

Mo Xiaofei said, "Uncle Li, have you ever thought about going to the yamen to get an errand, such as being a servant or something?" ”

Li Cheng wants to find a long-term errand, working in the yamen is an iron rice bowl, Li Cheng naturally has thought about it, but now there is no need to dredge up anything, Li Cheng is a poor man, what is the use of just having ideas.

Li Cheng said, "I'm almost forty years old, I have no background and no money, which yamen will want it, I see, I am the life of farming." ”

Mo Xiaofei said, "Don't hide it from Uncle Li, my nephew is currently the magistrate of Wuxian County, if Uncle Li doesn't dislike it, come to Wuxian County to be a famous official, I just need someone to take care of me at any time." ”

Mo Xiaofei still lacks a trustworthy subordinate by his side, Liao Dayong is in charge of the county prison, and Tie Er is in charge of the inspection department, so it is impossible to keep Hu Yuenan by his side often, after all, Hu Yuenan is not a person in the yamen.

Li Cheng is very suitable, first of all, his identity is fine, and he has a relationship with his father-in-law, and more importantly, the family members know their kindness and simplicity at a glance.

Li Cheng was a little surprised, "You are the magistrate of Wuxian County......"

Mo Xiaofei nodded, "Uncle Li, didn't you have no way before, but now you have a way, if you want, you will pack up your things tomorrow and lead your aunt and sister back to Wuxian with me." ”

Li Cheng is very willing, there is nothing valuable at home, and it is no problem to be a servant and support a family of three.

"Virtuous nephew, Uncle Li Xie Lu thank you."

After getting the benefits of others, Li Cheng felt that he owed a great favor, why should people help him, doesn't it depend on the relationship between himself and Du Dayong back then.

Du Dayong's death, although he didn't know the whole process, he could also tell one or two that if Mo Xiaofei had a way, he could investigate it himself.

The group arrived in Wuxian County and settled down with their families, Li Cheng found Mo Xiaofei.

"My lord, I can tell you everything I know about Du Dayong, but my lord, be careful, it's far better to know Lu Dao than to know Lu Dao."

Li Chengzhi said that once this matter was exposed, it would lead to the corruption of the entire Luo army and the security of the border of the Great Qing State.

Mo Xiaofei knew that there was an article in the Dao, and said, "Well, Uncle Li, please speak, I have a sense of proportion in this matter." ”

The southern part of Luonan Province intersects with Xiaorong State, and the main force of the Luonan army is also stationed in the southern part of Luonan Province all year round, and the war between the two countries will detonate every few years, but the scale is not large.

Li Cheng told Mo Xiaofei that the Luo army had almost no combat effectiveness, and in order to reassure the imperial court, the Luo army would secretly supply to the Xiaorong State every year to curb the momentum of the Xiaorong Kingdom's invasion.

Once Xiaorong did not invade the territory of Luonan Province, this credit was counted on the head of the Luojun Army's general army, and in the long run, the Luojun Army's General Military Office and Xiaorongguo seemed to have reached some tacit understanding, and after a small fight, they all ended with Xiaorong's retreat.

In the latest battle, the newly recruited soldiers didn't know anything, and Du Dayong also continued to fight in order to make meritorious contributions, and he was seriously injured and continued to fight, and finally killed a deputy general of Xiaorong State.

On the surface, the two countries were tense, but in fact they had already negotiated in private, but Du Dayong killed the deputy general of Xiaorongguo, and things changed again.

On the one hand, Luo Jun had to show his credit to Du Dayong, and on the other hand, he had to curry favor with Xiaorong Guo in private.

Li Cheng didn't know the process, but at that time he and Du Dayong were members of a small team, eating and living together, and Du Dayong was called out of the camp by the captain and never came back.

The next day, the whole army reported a news, Du Dayong, a big hero in the Luo army. Because of the secret military affairs, he was captured by the people of Xiaorong on the way and died.

The matter could not be more obvious, Mo Xiaofei scolded, "These dog things, they actually dedicated my father-in-law to the Xiaorong Kingdom, there are such mongrels in the Great Qing Kingdom!" ”

Li Cheng said, "My lord, what is going on, it's just our speculation, there is no evidence, unless we can find the captain at that time, as far as I know, he has been promoted, and now he is the president of Qian, called Meng Zhu." ”

Li Cheng was able to explain the matter so thoroughly, Mo Xiaofei was already very grateful in his heart, "Uncle Li, Xie Lu, thank you for telling me so much, I will investigate the rest of the things, no matter what the truth is, there are ghost people among them, they will definitely not end well." ”

Li Cheng admonished, "My lord, be careful in everything, the Luo Army General Mansion, on the surface, is under the jurisdiction of the Liangluo Governor's Mansion, but in fact, they are in their own positions, and the affairs in the army are darker than the local government affairs, if they know that someone in the Luo Dao is investigating, it will be unfavorable to you." ”

Since Du Bangyue moved into the county office, Qiu Min, who used to serve Mo Xiaofei in the county office, changed his errand, and Mo Xiaofei was also afraid that Du Bangyue would be displeased, so he asked Qiu Min to go to Xinglin Courtyard to help, the building of Xinglin Courtyard has begun to take shape, and it will be open for business in two months.

Qiu Min's main task is to be responsible for purchasing the daily utensils of Xinglin Courtyard, what tables, chairs, stools, bedding, cleaning supplies, and the silver that flows from her hands every day is not thousands of taels, but hundreds of taels.

On this day, Qiu Min came to pass by a hand-worn jewelry store, in the past, he didn't dare to expect extravagantly, but now Qiu Min's life is better, as a young woman, who doesn't want to wear some gold and silver hand jewelry, so she walked into the store.

There are too many beautiful jewelry, Qiu Min was dazzled, but soon his eyes fell on a hairpin, made of pure white Hetian jade, and the handiwork was delicate and delicate.

"Boss, can I try it."

"Of course you can, the girl is so good-looking, with this hairpin, she will definitely be able to charm a large number of men."

The boss handed the hairpin to Qiu Min.

"Wait."

Outside the door, a handsome boy, dressed in gorgeous white, led two subordinates in.

This boy is very handsome, his complexion is very white and tender, and even the way he walks looks so contrived.

The man walked up to Qiu Min and said, "Boss, I want this hairpin, how much silver." ”

Qiu Min frowned and said, "I said that you are unreasonable, this hairpin is what I took a fancy to first, if you want to buy it, you have to wait until I consider whether to buy it or not." ”

The boss will often encounter this kind of thing, saying, "Yes, this son, the hairpin is indeed the first thing this girl saw, if she doesn't buy it, I'll sell it to you, how about it." ”

The man snatched it up, took it in his hand and looked left and right, "I can only buy it if she doesn't want it, look down on me, why!" Boss, I'll pay twice the price. ”

"This ......" The boss was embarrassed, seeing that this person did not look like a person who would give up easily.

"Triple as much." Seeing that the boss was hesitating, the man continued to increase the price.

Qiu Min really can't stand it, isn't this bullying, she is no longer the weak woman in the past, in Wuxian, Qiu Min is really not afraid of anyone now.

Qiu Min said, "What do I mean by you, it's quite unreasonable, right, boss, I bought my hairpin, if you dare to sell it to him, I will sue you to the county government and let the county magistrate evaluate it." ”

Businessmen who don't want to make more money, but Qiu Min moved out of the county office, and the boss had to be cautious.

Now Wuxian County is a place where the rule of law is spoken, and the magistrate of the county admits that he does not recognize the silver, if the girl in front of him sues, he will be punished.

The boss said, "This son, it's really not a matter of silver, I opened the door to do business, honesty is the first, this hairpin is indeed the first thing this girl saw." ”

Qiu Min said, "Yes, it's still the boss who is reasonable, I said that you are a big man, grab the hairpin with me, you want to be shameless." ”

This person didn't let it go at all, and he didn't keep his tongue when the other party was a woman, and said, "What's wrong with robbing, isn't it okay for the woman I gave me, but you, vulgar powder, it's just ugly to wear anything." ”

Qiu Min glared at this person angrily, and at this moment, two people dressed in official clothes walked into the store.

One of them put his saber on the table and said, "You are the boss, and by order of the Governor's Palace, all shops in the vicinity will be closed for three days from now on." ”

The boss had already poked his head out and saw that other officials had entered the shop opposite, and this matter was not aimed at him, but something happened in the yamen.

The boss said, "Brother Bad, wait a minute, I've made this deal." ”

The official said viciously, "Didn't you hear me say that it was immediate, and all the people who bought things went out!" ”

The white-clothed boy glanced at the official and said to the subordinates beside him, "Who is disturbing the Yaxing of this son, blasting these two people out of the air!" ”
