The next morning, as soon as there was a blush in the sky, the voyage returned to the inn and called everyone to prepare for departure. As soon as the city gate opened, the convoy drove out of the city and left the capital of the Liang Kingdom.

After a few days of walking, I finally arrived at Qianling County. The voyage here is more familiar, and the convoy directly went to Situ Zhongda's house.

"Grandfather, Yilan has come to see you." Yilan jumped out of the carriage, ignored others, and threw herself into Situ Zhongda's arms like a swallow.

Situ Zhongda smiled and stroked Yilan's hair, his eyes looking at everyone. Tang Yuanwai and others stepped forward one after another to salute, and in front of him, they all became juniors.

"Grandfather." The voyage stepped forward and bowed to the ground.

"Haha, boy, here we are." Situ Zhongda liked the voyage very much, let go of Yilan, stepped forward to help him, and Yilan pouted there.

A few people stood behind Yuanhang and saluted together, Situ Zhongda looked at them one by one, smiled and nodded, and said: "Yuanhang is so blessed, and the wives I marry are all like flowers and jade." ”

Yilan shook Situ Zhongda's arm coquettishly, and said softly: "Grandfather......"

"Haha, my Yilan is the most beautiful." Situ Zhongda said with a smile, Yilan smiled with satisfaction, and after everyone was properly settled in the mansion, Yuanhang greeted Situ Zhongda, took Ah Jin, and walked out of the mansion to the yamen.

The people of Qianling were busy. The wontons in that old shop are still full, and the smell of Chen's roast chicken fills the entire street. When I came back again, the scene was still the same, but no one recognized that the person who came was the former county keeper.

The official stood in front of the door, but he was also a little energetic. Yuanhang walked over, and a servant stepped forward to stop him and shouted: "In the land of the yamen, idlers stay away." ”

The other official glanced up, rubbed it and looked at it carefully, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the official away, bent down and said, "My lord, it's you who are back." ”

Yuanhang recognized this officer, but he couldn't call his name. He smiled lightly and asked, "Can Guan Junshou be in the ya?" ”

"In, in. Adults, please. The official turned sideways to give way to the road, waved his hand at Yuanhang, and said: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, please go and tell the truth, and I will wait here." ”

When the official heard this, he bent down and said, "The big man will wait a while, and the little one will come when he goes." After saying that, he turned around, raised his legs and ran in, too anxious, and was mixed by the threshold.

Yuanhang stood in the cool place under the door, just a moment's effort, Guan Chundu ran out of the house, saw Yuanhang and shouted: "Yuanhang!" ”

Yuanhang stepped forward, smiled and saluted, and said respectfully: "Brother Yi, the younger brother is here to visit." ”

Guan Chundu stepped forward and gave Yuanhang a hug, and said excitedly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is everything okay with my righteous brother?" ”

"It's all good, it's all good." The voyage was polite, and Guan Chundu welcomed the voyage into the house.

Guan Chundu ordered someone to serve tea, prepare a banquet, and ordered someone to invite Li Mo to come.

"Brother-in-law, Qianling is busy with official business, and I haven't written with you, so I hope I can't blame you for being a brother." Guan Chundu got up to give a salute, but Yuanhang hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Since you and I are brothers, this cumbersome etiquette will be avoided, and it is really tiring to repeat it like this." ”

"Haha......" Guan Chundu laughed, pointed to Yuanhang and nodded, and said, "I can't change your temper after all." ”

The two were chatting, and the next person came in to announce that the guard had arrived. The two stopped talking and looked out the door.

Li Mo hurriedly walked in, saw Yuanhang with a smile on his face, stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Subordinate Li Mo, see your lordship." ”

Yuanhang got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Lord Li, don't call it that, the lower official has been dismissed, and now he is just idle, and my lord has promoted me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Chundu and Li Mo's faces changed slightly, and Li Mo asked eagerly: "Why was the adult dismissed?" ”

Yuanhang briefly recounted the incident, Li Mo felt a little sorry after hearing it, and said: "The talent of an adult is rare through the ages, and it is a pity to cut off the future just for this matter." ”

Guan Chundu's face was a little strange, and he leaned over and asked, "Brother Yi, is there a place to maneuver?" ”

"It's difficult, besides, I don't want to be an official, so I'm comfortable, no, I can come back at any time to visit my old friend." Yuanhang smiled and disagreed.

Guan Chundu had an imperceptible expression on his face, which was difficult for anyone to figure out. Li Mo felt something, and echoed and smiled: "What the adults said is also true, how can we compare with the lightness of an unofficial." ”

Guan Chundu smiled, and the next person came in to tell that the banquet had been prepared, and several people got up and went to the living room.

There was a woman in the hall, who looked quite good, but her heavy makeup was a little exaggerated. Dressed in a pale yellow dress, wearing a small purple shawl, most of her bare breasts are exposed, and a pair of huge balls are difficult to open.

Yuanhang frowned slightly, why would the righteous brother put a woman in between. When he was puzzled, Guan Chundu waved his hand again and again and said, "Go down, go down." ”

The woman was stunned, Guan Chundu glared, and didn't dare to say more although she was displeased. Glancing at the voyage, he turned around and twisted his ass and walked towards the backyard.

"Brother I, please take a seat." Although Guan Chundu said it, he sat down without waiting for the voyage, and sat on the main seat.

Yuanhang didn't mind, and gave in with Li Mo and sat down. Seeing that there were only three chairs in front of the table, Yuanhang smiled at Guan Chundu and said, "This is Ah Jin, and I am like brothers." ”

Guan Chundu smiled far-fetched and said, "That is, he is a righteous brother and brother, and he is a good student." He turned to his subordinates and said, "Come on, prepare food and drinks for this brother in the side hall." ”

Yuanhang's face changed, and he was about to speak, Ah Jin took the first step and said, "Thank you Lord County Shou for your kindness, I just ate it when I came down, so I can wait here." ”

Guan Chundu was no longer polite, and got up to pour wine for Yuanhang, who was slightly displeased, but still got up and handed over the wine glass.

A few people didn't mention the officialdom again, and Guan Chundu didn't ask where Yuanhang was resting. After a wine banquet, except for praising each other, the feelings are getting weaker and weaker.

"Brother Yi, it's too late, little brother won't bother." Yuanhang was unhappy, and he didn't want to stay longer after dinner, so he got up and wanted to leave.

Guan Chundu got up and said, "If you don't have a place to live, you can stay with me for the night." ”

When Yuanhang heard this, there was no brother in his words, he sneered and said: "Don't dare, as a civilian, I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to sleep in the yamen, and the younger brother has taken his leave." ”

Li Mo saw that there was something wrong with the words of the two, and he didn't know how to adjust it, so he had to quit as well. Although Guan Chundu did not stay, he was still sent out of the house, and several people went in front of the door.

Yuanhang walked angrily on the streets, the world was bleak, and people's hearts were desolate. If I hadn't fought for you above the court, I was afraid that you would have gone to the barren land of Luzhou to become an official. It was I who recommended it to my father-in-law, and you did this Qianling County Guard. Grandma's, living in Lao Tzu's renovated mansion, but she showed me that I was really blind and recognized the wrong person.

"Young master, it was the subordinates who made the two of you unhappy, and the subordinates ......" Ah Jin had already seen the signs and said behind him.

"What do you have to do with it?" Yuanhang was angry, and his tone couldn't help but be heavier, and he stopped him loudly. After speaking, he stopped, turned to look at Ah Jin, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are my brother, and you will be my brother for the rest of your life." ”

Ah Kim bent down and answered.

"Your Excellency." In the alley next to the road, a shout came, Yuanhang turned his head to look, and Li Mo looked here in the alley.

"How did you get here?" Yuanhang walked up and asked.

"I haven't seen the adults for a long time, and I miss them very much, so I have come to ask the adults to talk about it." Li Mo Shili said.

Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, isn't this just separated, how can you still get together. Thinking that Guan Chundu was also angry, he responded: "It's okay, I'll go to your house." ”

Li Mo led the two of them to the side alley, if it weren't for the voyage to be familiar with Qianling, he would have thought that Li Mo wanted to mistreat him. After a few turns, the three of them came to the front of the garrison mansion, and Li Mo introduced Yuanhang into the living room.

"Li Shoubei brought me here, there must be something to say." Yuanhang was already surprised, and asked casually while drinking tea.

Li Mo was not annoyed, smiled lightly, and said: "On that day, I was under the hands of adults, and the adults took me as if I were my own, and I was a guard, which was also the grace of adults." Now that adults are rarely returning, you have to give me a chance to show my heart anyway. ”

"Haha, it's not as good as it used to be, I'm just a civilian......"

"Your Excellency, that's a mistake." Li Mo snatched the words and said: "The ancients had a training, and the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. Li Mo didn't know what a sage was, he just knew this reason. ”

Yuanhang's hand holding the cup shook slightly, put the cup on the table, and nodded to Li Mo with a smile. said: "Since your words have come to this, I have a few things that I don't know, I hope you will tell me the truth." ”

Li Mo put down the cup, nodded and said, "My lord, please speak, I will tell you the truth." ”

"Do you know the woman in the county guard's mansion?" Yuanhang raised his eyelids and asked Li Mo.

"Well, that's Li Mo'er, the newest oiran in the Qianling Agarwood Building, who was asked to go by the Guan County Guard a few months ago." Li Mo replied in a deep voice.

"I don't see that he still likes it." said it casually, and blushed for a while after speaking, and he was not the same, but he was even better. Instead, he asked, "How is he being an official in Qianling?" ”

Li Mo thought for a moment and replied: "This is okay, I have never heard of the oppression of the people." ”

After hearing this, Yuanhang nodded and said: "As long as you can do things for the people, you can be considered a good official." ”

"A good official may not be there." Li Mo snorted coldly and sneered.

"Oh? Why? Yuanhang frowned and turned his head to look at Li Mo.

Li Mo said in a low voice: "Half a year ago, he once took a fancy to a woman surnamed Xiao, but the woman had already made a marriage contract, and the Xiao family politely declined. After a pause, Li Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said: "More than a month later, on the eve of the woman's wedding, she disappeared from home, and at the same time, the Lang Jun she wanted to marry also disappeared. ”

"Huh?" Yuanhang was shocked when he heard this, could it be that this matter had something to do with him?

"Do you think it's strange too?" Li Mo asked with a smile.

"What happened?" Yuanhang continued to ask.

"Later, the two families reported to the official, and the Guan County Guard ordered to investigate, but now there has been no progress in April, and it was rumored in the city that the two had eloped elsewhere." Li Mo replied with a long voyage.

"Nonsense, since both sides have agreed, and no one has stopped them, why elope?" Yuanhang tapped his fingers on the table and snorted coldly.

"I don't know this, I have my own county guard to investigate." Li Mo laughed and said, "Your Excellency, sit down for a while, and wait for me to order my family to prepare a banquet and wash the dust for my lord." ”

"Okay." Yuanhang Fang was angry in his heart, and he barely ate in the county guard's mansion, and besides, Ah Jin hadn't eaten yet, so he nodded and agreed.
