Chapter 41: Invitations
When he returned to the county office the next day, Xiao Mo was called to the study by Li Ji, and of course Zhou Chang did not leave Shen County, and the three of them talked about the White Lotus Sect in the study.
This time, Xiao Mo can be said to have made the White Lotus Sect accomplish nothing, just set two fires outside the city, and early this morning, under the escort of the City Supervisor Division, the victims followed the three Lizheng to the three towns.
Without these victims, the county can be said to be a lot less courageous, even although Li Ji was busy all night, in addition to tracking down the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, he also had to deal with the aftermath, and he accompanied Zhou Chang in the early morning and interrogated Xianxiao, but now his spirit is not bad.
This time, he was able to kill the disciples of the White Lotus Sect and capture their protector Xianxiao alive, Xiao Mo can be said to have made great contributions, Li Ji and Zhou Chang also saw it in their hearts, especially Zhou Chang, who was full of praise for Xiao Mo, and when Li Ji heard it, he made a difficulty.
Zhou Chang's meaning is obvious, Xiao Mo is a talent, and Li Ji also knows it, but Zhou Chang's words reveal a little bit of wanting to take Xiao Mo to Luzhou.
Of course Li Ji couldn't agree, although this time the White Lotus Sect returned in Shen County, and the victims were also sent to the three towns, but the price was that Feng Ping was empty, which Xiao Mo said had a way to solve, so Li Ji still had to count on Xiao Mo, if Zhou Chang pulled Xiao Mo over, then what should he do? What about the people of Shen County?
So Li Ji pretended to be confused, pretended not to understand Zhou Chang's hints, and played Tai Chi with him, Zhou Chang was just testing Li Ji, and seeing that Li Ji was unwilling, he didn't say anything.
After all, Li Ji is the son of his mentor, and he is also Zhou Chang's apprentice, so of course Zhou Chang is not easy to win people's love......
In the study, Xiao Mo heard Li Ji's heroic voice, talking over and over again about the scene of driving the White Lotus Sect out of Shen County and even Luzhou last night, and he was a little puzzled: "My lord, this White Lotus Sect shouldn't be so easy to be scared away, right?" ”
Li Ji glanced at Zhou Chang, and then said softly: "Ziheng doesn't know, this time Bo Yuan came to Luzhou, just to purge the demons of the White Lotus Sect on the boundary of Luzhou, the nest of the White Lotus Sect is in Donglu, and it has only developed to the Lianghuai area in recent years, this time, Bo Yuan came to Luzhou to take the lead, so to speak, this time the White Lotus Sect retracted, and there will be no chance to come out......"
"Could it be ......" Xiao Mo stopped when he wanted to speak, because he saw Li Ji's silent gesture.
"Huh...... That's fine! Xiao Mo understood and smiled.
It seems that this time the imperial court is going to kill the White Lotus Sect, no wonder the prefect of Luzhou has not reached his term, and he will be transferred away when he says that he will be transferred, it turns out that he does not believe in these local officials, but I am afraid that at this time, in addition to Luzhou, several important state officials in Lianghuai have made some changes, in order to force the White Lotus Sect back to Donglu and raise troops to eliminate it!
Since the White Lotus Sect can't come out anymore, Xiao Mo didn't think about it, and the matter of the White Lotus Sect is not something that Xiao Mo can think about.
Zhou Chang saw Xiao Mo's laughter, and he also laughed, and pointed at Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, don't be too happy now, the next thing is enough for you to have a headache!" ”
Xiao Mo knew what Zhou Chang was talking about, that is, the problem of food shortage in Shen County!
Since the people of the White Lotus Sect have been driven out, then the food crisis should be solved, which is also an urgent matter, Zhou Chang said: "The White Lotus Sect is a cult, and this official can vigorously support you, but these gentry in Shenxian County ......"
After a pause, Zhou Chang said: "After all, they are all their own people...... You, do it for yourself! ”
With that, Zhou Chang walked out.
In Zhou Chang's words, there are some strangeness, Xiao Mo is an understanding person, Zhou Chang is warning himself!
Xiao Mo glanced at Li Ji puzzled: "My lord, what does Lord Zhou mean ......"
Li Ji shook his head: "There are some things, you should also know, Boyuan means, I hope you don't go too far." ”
Even Li Ji said this, Xiao Mo was a little confused, wasn't Li Ji very dissatisfied with these gentry before, and wanted to rectify them? Why did you change your mind now that you are here?
Li Ji also had no choice: "Anyway, you can't let those gentry complain, you ...... See for yourself! ”
After that, Li Ji also got up and left the study, leaving only Xiao Mo with a depressed face.
Because Xiao Mo has recovered much now, he said goodbye to the wheelchair today, although Zhou Kui followed him to the Yamen, but he was waiting for Xiao Mo in the West Yamen.
In fact, Li Ji and Zhou Chang don't say that Xiao Mo also knows that they can make a big man like Zhou Chang keep silent, but they are afraid that the involvement of these gentry in Shenxian County is quite big, or the background is very hard, so hard that Zhou Chang doesn't dare to provoke it......
It seems that life is not easy!
Xiao Mo thought about it, then walked out of the study and returned to Xiya.
As soon as he saw Zhou Kui, Zhou Kui handed Xiao Mo a post.
"What's going on?" Xiao Mo asked.
Zhou Kui said: "Du Shaofu asked me to give it to you, saying that some squires in the county want to invite Erlang to the banquet......
"Oh?" Xiao Mo laughed: "What feast?" ”
Shaking his head, Zhou Kui said honestly: "I don't know!" ”
"Well," Xiao Mo flipped through the post and found that it didn't say what kind of feast it was, but it was just signed in Xiao Mo's name.
Zhou Kui came over: "Erlang, shall we go to the banquet?" ”
"Go, why not?" Xiao Mo glanced at Zhou Kui: "If you give it for nothing, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing, and if you eat it, you will eat it for nothing!" ”
After that, Xiao Mo returned to his seat, and then threw his head at Zhou Kui: "Brother Zhou, you go back and tell Yu Niang, just say that there is something to do at night, don't go back to eat, and ...... Isn't Chen Wuliang going to move out? You ask Yu Niang to ask, and then take down his house......"
Zhou Kui answered, Xiao Mo thought about it, called the warehouse official outside, and said to him, "Who is that ......?"
"The eldest man, the youngest surnamed Jiang, is the third ...... in the family"
"Oh, Jiang San, you go to Fengping, tell the tent there, and say that you have taken advantage of the good weather to take out all the Laoshzi things in Fengping's warehouse to dry!"
Jiang San said: "My lord, the grain in Fengping's warehouse has been emptied, and there are only some sacks and high barrels left......"
"Hmm!" Xiao Mo nodded: "That's what I said, go ahead, dry in the sun, remove the musty smell, and put the grain when the time comes!" ”
"Good Lat......" Jiang San nodded and went.
After lunch, Zhou Kui came back, his face was flushed, Xiao Mo saw it and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhou Kui sat there angrily and said to Xiao Mo: "Erlang, I ......"
Zhou Kui really couldn't open his mouth, and he couldn't tell Xiao Mo that he was kicked out by Yang Yanqi!
After thinking about it, Zhou Kui couldn't help it anymore, and said to Xiao Mo: "Erlang, why did Mrs. Yuniang have a bitter face when she hears that you want to take down Chen's conscienceless house, and ......?"
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Xiao Mo thought for a moment and asked, "What else?" ”
"And Yang Bamei's girl, it's too ...... It's infuriating! ”
Looking at Zhou Kui's red Lian, Xiao Mo knew that it must be that Yang Bamei didn't give Zhou Kui good fruit to eat, and after thinking about it, that girl even ignored her own master for the sake of Yu Niang, let alone Zhou Kui!
Yang Yanqi is in the Xiao family, saying that she is a servant girl, but she doesn't have the consciousness of being a servant girl at all, especially to herself, which is too unkind......
Thinking about it, Xiao Mo thought of the scene when Yang Yanqi locked himself out of the door last night, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, and then patted Zhou Kui's shoulder: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, tell me, what happened to that tomboy to you, did he insult you?" ”
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Zhou Kui couldn't help laughing at first, because Yang Yanqi didn't like to wear long hair, didn't like to wear skirts, and wore plain clothes and pants all day long, looking like a scholar, so Xiao Mo called her a tomboy behind his back.
But then again, because Yang Yanqi looks heroic, she looks even more handsome when she dresses like this, so Xiao Mo is just smiling behind his back, but he can't do it in person, and of course he doesn't dare to laugh at Yang Yanqi!
When Zhou Kui heard Xiao Mo's last half of the sentence, his face changed, and he was even redder than before, holding back!
"Erlang, what are you kidding, that girl can be my daughter......"
Finally couldn't hold it back, Zhou Kui broke out, Xiao Mo hurriedly accompanied, and said: "Yes, yes, it's impossible for that girl to come ...... so heavy!"
Xiao Mo looked at Zhou Kui's face, and then buried the second half of the sentence in his heart.
