Chapter 33: Speculation

That night, Yu Niang was coaxed by Xiao Mo's words as if she had lost her soul, and then returned to the room. 【&n】

Leaving Xiao Mo, Yu Niang felt that the feeling of suffocation slowly disappeared, and then began to recall Xiao Mo's words, remembering that he had pulled his hand, and couldn't help but hold his hands in front of his chest, smiling happily.

Once a person is excited, it is difficult to fall asleep, Yu Niang tossed and turned on the bed, and finally couldn't help it, so she ran to Meng Qiuxiang's room, and then got into the bed.

Meng Qiuxiang was awakened by Yu Niang: "Yu Niang, what's wrong?" ”

Yu Niang's voice was full of happiness, and she said in a tired voice: "Mother, I can't sleep!" ”

Meng Qiuxiang shook her head, moved her position into the bed, let Yu Niang fall asleep, and asked, "Okay, why don't you sleep?" ”

Yu Niang was attached to Meng Qiuxiang, and her delicate little face was full of joy: "I just can't sleep, I want to accompany my mother ......."

Meng Qiuxiang nodded, she has always kept in mind Yu Niang's filial piety, to have such a daughter-in-law, Meng Qiuxiang's heart is not only satisfied, but also guilty, and now she finally has a way to repay Yu Niang, and Xiao Mo also agreed, will leave Yu Niang in the Xiao family.

But Xiao Mo agreed, I don't know if Qiao Zheng's level can pass his son.

Meng Qiuxiang was also a little worried in her heart, so when Xiao Mo came back tonight, Meng Qiuxiang proposed to go to Qiao's house by herself, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Xiao Mo, and then Xiao Mo said that he would go by himself.

However, can Xiao Mo really negotiate with the Qiao family?

In this way, the mother and mother lay on the bed with their own thoughts, and in the middle of the night, they finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mo went out, still in a wheelchair, and Zhou Kui was pushing behind him.

This time, on the street in front of the door, Xiao Mo didn't chat with Mrs. Liu and Chen Wuliang, and after eating the cooking cakes and tea eggs, Xiao Mo rushed to the county office.

When he arrived at the Yamen, the first thing Xiao Mo did was to find Li Ji, Li Ji and Zhou Chang were busy all night last night, and the two of them didn't sleep yet, but played chess in the study!

When Xiao Mo heard this, he smiled knowingly, and he could still play chess, which means that things went well last night, and the grain should have been transferred.

After entering the study, Xiao Mo first saluted Zhou Chang and Li Ji, and then asked about the transfer of grain, Li Ji really nodded: "Three thousand stones of grain, one grain is not a lot, Ziheng can count it himself!" ”

Although he has been busy all night, Li Ji seems to be in good spirits, as the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, although Li Ji has nothing to congratulate now, but with Xiao Mo to help solve these difficulties in Shen County, Li Ji's original pressure has also been lightened a lot, and he has spoken a lot louder, and the sentence 'every grain is a lot' is said forcefully, but who will believe it?

Three thousand stone grains, if you want to transfer a lot of grains, I am afraid that in the modern world where Xiao Mo was original, there is no way to do this.

However, Xiao Mo is not a person who likes to care about these small sections, not to mention that the other party is his top boss, Xiao Mo does not dare to care, knowing that the food has been transferred smoothly, Xiao Mo is relieved, and then asks: "My lord, when will the governor of the three towns arrive?" ”

Li Ji slapped his head at this time: "I was so busy yesterday that I forgot it, so the official will arrange for someone to notify the Li Zheng ...... of the three towns."

After that, Li Ji remembered something again, so he asked Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, do you have to come to the county government in person?" This town of Kiriyama has been vacant for a long time......"

The last Li Zheng in Tongshan Town was locked up by Li Ji because of the tampering with the tax policy.

In the An Dynasty, the local taxes are generally collected by the upper, middle and lower households that are divided according to the tax policy, and the tax policy is being tampered with, and some of the lower households in Tongshan Town are collected according to the amount of the middle households, and some of the middle households are collected according to the upper households, and then the private pockets are filled, and there is such a thing, the people of Tongshan Town will not do it, just that year the drought began, so in recent years, Tongshan Town has been presided over by the richest man Qiao's family.

Joe is in Tongshan, so to speak, he is the acting mayor of the town.

Xiao Mo also had an impression of this matter in his previous memory, knowing that Qiao was in charge of Tongshan Town now, so he would tell Meng Qiuxiang that Qiao Zheng was back in the county seat today after he went home last night.

Of course Xiao Mo had no opinion on Tongshan Town being Qiao Zheng's county seat, and then Li Ji called Qin Ye and ordered this matter to go on, Xiao Mo was afraid that Li Ji would forget it again and delay his plan, so he kept watching from the side, and after Qin Ye went down, he got up and said: "The two adults are fortunate, or go and rest first!" ”

Zhou Chang and Li Ji nodded, Zhou Chang was the biggest official, but he rarely spoke, but this time he said with a smile: "That's what I mean, it's just that Ziheng can't come to the county office, and he can't sleep because he can't settle down, and he can't sleep......"

Xiao Mo hurriedly said, "My lord has won the prize!" Then he said goodbye to Zhou Chang and Li Ji.

Joking with Zhou Chang, Xiao Mo didn't dare now, and he didn't have that leisure, after leaving Li Ji's study, Xiao Mo went to the West Chamber and found Lin Yiye.

Lin Yiye really didn't seem to sleep all night, in Xiao Mo's public house, the table was full of books, all of which were Shen County's household policy.

Xiao Mo asked, "Liang An, can you find it?" ”

Lin Yiye shook his head and said, "There are three people named Zhou Shang in this county, two of whom have been dead for several years, and there is also a ......" Lin Yiye said, handing a copy of the household policy to Xiao Mo's hand.

Xiao Mo looked at Hu Ce, and it was written: Zhou Meng, the butcher of Beicheng, had a son in the third year of Qisheng, and was named Zhou Shang......

Qisheng is the current era name of the An Dynasty, and this year is the eighth year of Qisheng, which means that this Zhou Shang is only five years old now!

Three named Zhou Shang, two died, and one was only five years old, and it was absolutely impossible to join the White Lotus Sect, and then come to Shen County to participate in such a thing as arson, and the clue seemed to be broken here.

Xiao Mo thought about it, maybe Zhou Shang was a foreigner, but he felt that things were not so simple!

An organization like the White Lotus Sect, if it acts, it should be as secret as possible, and it will definitely not write down the roster of members, thinking about it this way, Xiao Mo feels that the name Zhou Shang is worth scrutinizing.

Xiao Mo thought about things, but Lin Yiye yawned, Xiao Mo found that Lin Yiye's eyes had become panda eyes, the eye circles were black, and the eyeballs were bloodshot, so he said to Lin Yiye: "Liang An is tired?" ”

Lin Yiye still pretended to be hard, shook his head and said: "Where did Ziheng say, as an envoy, it is his duty to seek benefits for the people and contribute to the community......

Lin Yiye was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Mo: "Okay, okay, Brother Liang An is sincere, Xiao Mo knows, but the body is also tight, go back and rest when you are tired!" ”

It's just a personal check, and it was actually said by Lin Yiye to be 'for the benefit of the people and contribute to the society', this Lin Yiye will indeed wear a high hat for himself, and even Xiao Mo sighs that he is not as thick-skinned as Lin Yiye.

Lin Yiye smiled: "Ziheng, I'm really not tired, I just feel a little heavy on my head......"

"......" Xiao Mo was speechless for a while.

It seems that with Lin Yiye, there is no way for him to do things well, Xiao Mo simply left the public room and gave the room to Lin Yiye, and he did it with the officials outside.

The top boss came, and the three officials of the household also hurriedly looked like they were seriously checking the accounts and counting strategies, Lin Yiye's table was closest to Du Zongshu, so he said to him: "Brother Du, please go and inform Chen Sihu that the household policies and account books have been counted!" ”

Du Zongshu nodded, and then left the public house.

After sending Du Zongshu away, Xiao Mo was in front of Lin Yiye's desk and thought intently.

Since Zhou Shang's name should not be the name of a member of the White Lotus Sect, why does it appear on the documents of the White Lotus Sect's gathering?

Xiao Mo thought about it for a long time, and only thought of two possibilities, one was that Zhou Shang might be a secret liaison of the White Lotus Sect, and the dozen or so disciples of the White Lotus Sect might have just gotten the name of this liaison and were about to carry out some action; The second is that Zhou Shang is the target of the White Lotus Sect's next move, and the White Lotus Sect may be in what reason it wants to assassinate Zhou Shang!

But who is Zhou Shang this year? There was no such person in Shen County at all, and as for the child of the butcher's family, five-year-old Zhou Shang, Xiao Mo naturally ignored it.

A five-year-old child, how could the White Lotus Sect use so many people to assassinate him?

If it was Li Ji, Xiao Mo might still believe it, and so on...... Li Ji?

When Xiao Mo thought of this, his eyes lit up, and he thought of Li Ji, so naturally Xiao Mo also thought of Zhou Chang.

Finding a pen and paper, Xiao Mo wrote the word Zhou Chang on the paper, and then used the paper to cover the lower half of the word Chang.

Sure enough, it's Zhou Chang!

Xiao Mo suddenly realized, it seems that the paper that was burned in the White Lotus Sect's stronghold last night should be the instruction given by the White Lotus Sect to these sect members, an order to assassinate Zhou Chang! It was only because it was burned that Xiao Mo saw it as Zhou Shang.

Originally, Xiao Mo thought that the White Lotus Sect wanted to burn down Feng Ping this time, and then walk the rumors, which made Shen County fall into a panic, but he didn't expect that the White Lotus Sect's heart was so big, and what they wanted was not only Shen County, but the entire Luzhou!

If you want to panic the entire Luzhou, what can make people panic more than the prefect who killed them?
