In the small courtyard of the Mu family, Mu Tong sat on the stone bench in the courtyard calmly, drinking the thick soup on the table, chewing and slowly tasting the pancakes and braised pork on the table.

Next to him was Mo Qing, who was salivating and looking aggrieved.

Suddenly, Mu Tong put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and looked at the courtyard door. Granny Gu was staggering in.

"Mother-in-law, how's that?"

"As you might expect. ”

"Hehe, good!" Mu Tong smiled happily.

Granny Gu looked at Mu Tong who was holding Zhizhu, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Then what is the young master going to do next?"

Mu Tong looked at Granny Gu, looked at Mo Qingnunu, and then said cruelly: "Beat, give me a hard beating of Xiao Qingzi, so that he can't get out of bed for half a month." Dare to betray the master and push the master into the fire pit!"

"What, young master, aren't you telling the truth, are you! What did Xiao Qingzi do wrong?"

Mo Qing shouted unjustly, don't be in a hurry, if you don't avenge your grievances, the ancient mother-in-law's crutches will be on her in a while.

It's strange to say, Granny Gu's crutches don't know what they are made of, it hurts especially when it hits people, and this pain can be extended, and it can hurt for half a day. Mo Qing, who has eaten a lot of the hardships of this crutch, doesn't dare to taste this crutch again, not to mention that the young master just now said that he won't be able to get out of bed for half a month?

The young master is definitely joking, because the young master never jokes with Gu Po and Mrs. Mu, and has always said something.

It's just that in the face of Mo Qing's injustice, Mu Tong was unmoved, and continued to spit out a word coldly: "Fight!"

"Boom!"

The ancient mother-in-law walked towards Mo Qing with a strange smile, her rickety body suddenly stood up straight, waved the crutches in her hand, and said in a strange voice: "Xiao Qingzi, are you ready to accept the love of your mother-in-law?"

Mo Qing was frightened and cried, and retreated to the corner of the wall while crying, begging for mercy loudly: "Young master, don't do it! You quickly tell your mother-in-law to stop! I don't want it!"

Looking at Mu Tong, who was hard-hearted and unmoved, Mo Qing gritted his teeth and made the last dying struggle. At least give me a reason to be beaten, or I won't accept it!"

"Not convinced?"

"Good young master, I will convince you! Colluding with outsiders, leaving the young master alone with other women, melons and plums, there is a suspicion of ruining the reputation of the young master! This is unfaithful! I am a servant of the lord and you, and I can't obey orders, and these two are unfaithful! I am the master, and I want to punish you, and you dare to talk back, and these three are unfaithful! Do you want me to continue? Mother-in-law, do it!"

On that day, everyone in Mufu knew that the young master's scholar had really angered the young master this time, and he was cleaned up by the young master. The scream was heart-rending and resounded throughout Mufu. According to the medical doctor who went to take care of Mo Qing's injuries and the subordinates who took care of Mo Qing, Mo Qing's double strands and back were all scars, and his buttocks were even more beaten, and his flesh and blood were blurred. It is estimated that I will not be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month.

In Mu Tong's courtyard, Granny Gu returned to the courtyard after arranging Mo Qing's residence.

"Young Master, it's already arranged. ”

"Then keep an eye on it, the bait has been released. It depends on whether the other party can take the bait. ”

"Young master, I don't think it's too heavy, Xiao Qingzi is still young after all. ”

"It's not important, where can he tell the weight, I know it in my heart, you don't have to say much. ”

Granny Gu had no choice but to say no more with a bitter face, and walked back to her room with an old and old pace. Only Mu Tong was left sitting in the courtyard, drinking the cold tea alone.

At the same time, in the city lord's mansion, the city lord Mo Qingyan sat in the lobby, sitting on a high city lord seat, holding an open book in his hand, hanging his head to the page, looking from the door of the lobby, as if he was reading a book with relish.

But if someone takes a closer look, they will find that his eyes are scattered, the focus is not on the book at all, and he is thinking about something else, and his mind no longer knows where to go.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed behind the high platform of the city lord's seat, and then he knelt directly on the ground, bowed his head, and said nothing.

And the city lord Mo Qingyan sat there motionless and continued to be distracted, as if he was completely unaware of the appearance of the other party.

The two of them remained motionless for nearly a cup of tea, during which the people passing by the entrance of the lobby turned a blind eye to the two opposites, and what they should do.

Finally, Mo Qingyan's eyes moved, and his eyes refocused and became smart. He put away the book in his hand, stood up from the city lord's seat, stood on the platform with the scroll behind his back, looked into the distance through the door of the lobby, and asked indifferently, "How is it?"

The man in black who was kneeling on the ground came to life from a statue at this time, still kneeling on the ground and bowing his head and replied.

"Back to the Lord, Mufu is still calm on the surface. Moody brought back a healing pill for Mu Tong and disappeared again. His whereabouts have been tracked by Three, and he will send back news of Moody later. Today, Mu Tong went to the attic he gave to the piano in Xicheng, called the store called [Huiwei Building], stayed for less than half an hour and left in a hurry, and after returning home, he severely punished his bookboy, beat his scholar half to death, and drove him out of his small courtyard. There's nothing else to pay attention to, it's just the usual trivialities. ”

"Oh?"

Mo Qingyan became interested, turned around and asked: "Do you know why you punished that little scholar? You must know that this little scholar has grown up beside Mu Tong since he was a child, saying that he is a slave, but he is actually a playmate, and some people even say that Mu Tong regards him as a brother, why would he be so vicious today?"

The black-clothed man looked shocked, slammed his head on the ground, and said in fear: "The subordinates should be damned, I only found out that Mu Tong punished his scholar for what happened to him in [Aftertaste], but what is the specific reason, the subordinates are incompetent and cannot be investigated." Rebuke the Lord. ”

Mo Qingyan's face that was still smiling just now, the smile gradually converged, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at his subordinates who were almost lying on the ground and trembling through the gap in his eyes, and then he put on a smile again with satisfaction, and asked with a smile like snow in spring.

"Are you scared?"

Without waiting for the man in black to answer, he continued to speak to himself.

"Don't be afraid, the lord of this city is not an unreasonable person, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a mistake, you will be punished. Although you have no merit, you have not done it. At least bring back some news that I'm interested in. The old woman in Mufu has folded my hands in the past ten years, and I have already seen it. If you can't find it, you can't find it, but this [Aftertaste Building], who thinks he is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, is left to the Mu family kid to practice, and I also want to see how many means this boy with a vision from the sky has. Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that it was to see who dared to stretch out his hand to this king's Black Dragon City, this king would have directly leveled this so-called [Aftertaste Building]. A little geisha-born lowly maid, in less than a month, she has run a food restaurant into a restaurant full of customers, and the people who come and go are all green forests and grass and literati and ink writers, and the people behind her are blind or rampant enough to ignore the king and play tricks in my Black Dragon City. It's really a big deal, the beast meat is made of braised meat, and the Linggu of Xiantian in the East China Sea is made of cakes, and then it only sells a few dozen texts, and this king doesn't dare to play like this. ”

"Tut-tut, this king will see what attracts them to the Mu family, and they will not hesitate to lose their money to act in Black Dragon City. Pass the order down, find a way to blend into the [Aftertaste Building], and when necessary, catch a tongue and blend in. I want to know what this group is seeking. Let's go down. Since there is no merit and no fault, I went to the torture hall to receive a whip. ”

"Thank you, Lord. The subordinates retired. ”

The man in black cautiously retreated, away from the lobby, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

[Fortunately, I thought I was going to die this time. Although he received a whip, he was considered good compared to the previous leaders of the spies. 】

The man in black walked into the torture hall with beautiful steps, and greeted as he walked, "Crime Hall, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a whip, Lao Tzu still has something to do!"

The steward of the criminal hall, known as the butcher, got out of a pile of torture instruments, looked at the head of the spy and exclaimed in surprise: "Yo, this sun has come out in the west?

The man in black was furious when he heard this: "You old man fart, if you vicious old guy dare to take a step in the torture hall, let alone my brothers, Lao Tzu will be the first to kill you." However, compared to the previous unlucky ones, I was only punished with a whip by the Lord today, which is a great blessing. So hurry up, you old thing, I'm going to be busy after I get some medicine!"

"Oh, the old man understands. You are the unlucky guy in charge of the Mu family's intelligence. But as you said, it's a blessing that you only received one lash. In this case, the old man will let you enjoy this whip and make you remember it deeply. Lest I am sorry for the thought of wiping the old man's neck. 桀桀桀~"

......

The man in black suddenly wanted to die, and he got a little carried away. I forgot that I was still being held in my hands, so why did I throw everything out.

As a result, the black-clothed leader who had been tortured finally failed to walk out of the torture hall by himself, but was carried away by two of his subordinates who rushed to hear the news. If it weren't for the fear of delaying the Lord's affairs, the "butcher" didn't intend to notify people to carry him, but let him climb out of the torture hall by himself, otherwise it would be a fake to be a "butcher".
