"Knock knock, knock knock!"

As soon as it was dawn, Li Mo was woken up by a rapid knock on the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before he could get up, the wooden door was kicked open, "Hurry up, the master is going to ascend!" ”

After speaking, I didn't see anyone coming, only heard footsteps and hurriedly ran away.

Li Mo tucked off the thin quilt on his body and shrunk into the quilt.

Although it was February, I still had to cover a thin quilt at night.

Last night, he rubbed his neck and rested with Zhao Wu in the county yamen room, he slept comfortably, what kind of hall!

Zhao Wu on the side had already stepped on the soap shoes neatly, and seeing that Li Mo had not moved, he lifted his quilt, "Hurry up, you will be scolded with a cane if you are late." ”

Li Mo reluctantly got up, yawned and followed Zhao Wu to the court.

When they arrived at the court, the officials yawned as violently as they did, and they all had tears in their eyes, apparently sleeping soundly.

Everyone hurriedly stood up according to their positions, and the county magistrate opened the curtain of Wenzhu and walked out of the inner hall.

And yawned as he walked, apparently just being whipped up from his sleep.

Looking at the county magistrate sitting firmly in the lobby, Li Mo secretly smiled.

The county master must have been in a daze, or he would have walked out with a pink coat.

The county magistrate looked at the officials looking at him with a look that was not quite right, and subconsciously bowed his head and self-judged.

Only then did he realize that he had actually worn the seventh aunt's blouse as an official robe, so he quickly got up and pulled the pink blouse down.

Thanks to his quick movements, as soon as he put away the blouse, the people who beat the drum and complained entered the hall from the entrance of the yamen.

Coming in was a middle-aged man who looked like a Confucian student, followed by a cowering maidservant.

As soon as the two walked into the lobby, the middle-aged man pushed the maid to the ground with a black face and said sharply, "You, tell me quickly, where did you hide the young lady?!" ”

The servant girl who was pushed down knelt on the ground to hide her face and weep, her thin shoulders trembled slightly, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.

The county magistrate asked unhurriedly, "Xu Yuanwai, why is it so angry this early in the morning?" ”

Xu Yuanwai raised his head, and saw that the county master was only wearing a tooth-white robe and ascended to the hall, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a while.

However, Xu Yuanwai is used to seeing the world, and his face is still silent, and he only bows his hand shallowly, "County master, it's not that you don't know how to be polite, it's really an urgent situation, so you came to bother it early in the morning." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" The county magistrate asked lightly.

Xu Yuanwai pointed to the servant girl who was kneeling on the ground and wept, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all this hateful, bewitching the little girl to go out late at night, and she hasn't returned yet!" But the cheap maid has a hard mouth and a cold heart, and no matter how she asks, she refuses to reveal half a trace of the little girl. The contemptible people had to take her to the mansion and beg the lord to pry open her iron and bronze teeth and help the villain find the little girl as soon as possible. ”

"Is that so?" The county magistrate glanced at the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "Maid in the hall, raise your head." And the origin of the matter, explain it in detail to the house, and there must be no half-false sentences. ”

Li Mo listened to what Xu Yuanwai said, and secretly wondered in his heart: This Xu Yuanwai should be the father of the arrogant Xu family's eldest lady, right?

His speculation was quickly confirmed, just because under the urging of the county magistrate, the maidservant who had been bowing her head and sobbing raised her head.

Her face was bruised and swollen, the corners of her mouth were slightly broken, and there were faint traces of blood oozing, but she didn't dare to reach out and wipe it. He only kowtowed vigorously and wept, "Spare the bottle!" The bottle really doesn't know, why did the young lady suddenly disappear, obviously it was fine when she went to bed last night. Adults are aware of it, it's really not about the bottle! ”

This bottle is none other than the little maid who accompanied Xu Jiaorong out last night.

Looking at her appearance, it is obvious that she has been slapped a lot. Li Mo was a little unhappy in his heart, his good appearance was beaten like this, but he really could do it.

"! In vain I usually treat you well, you are so cruel to the master, ten thousand times more vicious than that jackal! Xu Yuanwai still refused to say anything when he saw the bottle, so he stretched out his foot and kicked it over, "Come on, where are you hiding Miss?" ”

He used enough force to kick the bottle to the ground.

But the bottle didn't dare to hide, and knelt back again, shrunk back and wept, "Master, I really don't care about the bottle!" Miss had to go out last night, but the bottle blocked her in every possible way, but Miss didn't listen. It really has nothing to do with the bottle! ”

"Shut up! ! It must have been you who coaxed the young lady out of the house with you, and then trapped her so that she could blackmail her. Don't you know your wicked heart? Now that the matter has been revealed, he gritted his teeth and refused to confide half a sentence, it is really poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and his heart can be punished! Xu Yuanwai was so angry that he was about to raise his foot and kick it hard.

"Outside of Xu Yuan, this is above the public court, and it is strictly forbidden to make noise. If you only think that your own official is an ornament, then take your servant girl back and judge it privately. This official will never ask too much. ”

The county magistrate's cold words stopped Xu Yuanwai's feet that were about to kick the bottle.

"In the heart of the lower nurse, where the etiquette is lost, please ask the county lord to calm his anger." Xu Yuanwai then remembered that it was not in his own house. Quickly tidied up his appearance, returned to his elegant appearance, and stood aside to listen to the county master's trial.

Only then did the county magistrate ask, "Your maidservant, this official asks you, how did your young lady disappear?" ”

The bottle raised her head tremblingly, and replied in a fifteen-ten, "Master, the maid did leave the house with the young lady in the middle of the night last night." ”

"Humph!" Xu Yuanwai snorted heavily.

The county magistrate, who was sitting firmly in the high hall, continued to ask, "Why did you two leave the house in the middle of the night?" ”

"Yes, it was the day I went to Jinshan Temple with Miss to offer incense, and Miss didn't hear the two girls say that there is the largest peach tree in Taohuawu that is very effective. As long as you go to burn incense under the tree when you are a child, you can ...... it," the bottle said this, and he couldn't say it anymore.

"What can be?! You mean! Xu Yuanwai shouted. If he had stayed in his own house, he would have torn up this a long time ago!

The bottle bit her lower lip, seemed to have made up her mind, and replied with a white face, "If you go to burn incense under the tree when you are a child, you can see the appearance of your future husband." The maid was curious, so she encouraged the young lady to go with her. ”

After speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to have finally let go of the burden in her heart.

Li Mo couldn't help but secretly admire, in ancient times, a woman's name was more important than her life, and this little girl took the responsibility on herself, which was really not ordinary loyalty.

Just tempting the lord to go out late at night, what awaits her will be a worse consequence than selling.

Sure enough, when the Xu Yuanwai heard the bottle admit that she had instigated the young lady to go out, he immediately lost his demeanor and kicked the bottle in the hall, "Cheap girl!" See if I don't beat you to death! ”
