About an hour and a half later, when Zhao Denggao was anxiously thinking about how to make an errand to Luzhou, he heard the arrester go up to the lobby and replied loudly: "The county order, the robbers who robbed the salt cart have been arrested, and ten carts of salt have also been recovered."

After that, he brought a dozen fierce men to the hall, all of whom were chained like frosted eggplants, and confessed to their crimes. The robbers drew the charge and were taken away. Zhao Denggao was like a dream, so happy that he didn't know what to do, and after saying hello to Fan Hefu, he was about to turn around and go back to the inner office.

"Zhao Denggao, you haven't rewarded us yet!" Li Tao's voice sounded behind Zhao Denggao.

Zhao Denggao turned around and looked, yo, patronizing the trial, he actually forgot about the reward.

Zhao Denggao smiled and said to Li Tao: "Reward, definitely reward!" But Li Xiaolangjun has to tell me first, how did you find those robbers, do you know them?"

Li Tao was annoyed: "How can I know the robber?"

After saying that, he ran out of the hall and brought a goat over.

At this time, the head catcher said: "You kid, when you were looking for a robber just now, you led the sheep hard, saying that it was right to find someone to herd the sheep, why are you still thinking about your sheep at this time?" This is the county hall, not your sheepfold!"

Li Tao smiled: "Zhao Denggao, you don't know, if I didn't lead this sheep, how could I find that gang of robbers, if you want to ask for a reward, this sheep deserves the fifty guan the most."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled,

Li Tao said proudly: "Although the salt has been washed away by the water, don't forget that there is still dense grass growing on both sides of the road, and the grass soaked in salt water is the goat's favorite food." When I walked with the catcher, whenever I came to a fork in the road, I would stop and let the sheep eat the grass on the side of the road. Actually, I asked the sheep to judge the whereabouts of the robbers, and as long as the sheep smelled the salted grass at the fork, they would go crazy and gnaw on it. Wherever it eats grass, the robbers go......"

Of course, what Li Tao said was what Ah Can told him. Zhao Denggao listened to it again and again, and was even more impressed by Li Tao.

Out of the county office, Li Tao said to Fan Hefu: "Shopkeeper Fan, this time the case is solved thanks to Ah Can, please ask Shopkeeper Fan to send Zhao Deng's reward of fifty yuan to Ah Can's house!" ”

"Li Xiaolang, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me!" Fan Hefu was very grateful to Li Tao and nodded busily.

"And. This donation for the school ......"

"I'm going to do it! In three days, the college will be ready to work, and there will be no mistakes! Fan Hefu swore solemnly.

……

The salt robbery case was successfully handled, and a stone fell to the ground in Li Tao's heart. When he returned home humming a little song, he was stunned.

"Nie Shensuan, why are you here!" Li Tao stammered and asked.

Since the last time he fooled Nie Wushuang away, Li Tao had already forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect Nie Wushuang to come to the door again today. Li Tao quickly glanced at Yuan and Pei Yue who were standing aside, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Nie Wushuang respectfully hugged his fist at Li Tao and said, "Li Xiaolang, I listened to your teachings last time, I figured it out!" Don't be reluctant, small give up, big give! I have arranged all the things in my family, and all my property has been dispersed except for the family! Now, I'm alone and careless! Li Xiaolang, I hope you can take me as an apprentice! ”

When Li Tao heard this, he was dumbfounded: the reason why he said those words to Nie Wushuang was to make him retreat in the face of difficulties, Li Tao didn't believe that Nie Wushuang could really give up his family wealth and the children in his family. Who knew that Nie Wushuang would be so persistent, not only did he not retreat, but advanced in the face of difficulties, which put Li Tao in a dilemma.

Just as Li Tao lowered his head and pondered, he heard Pei Yue say on the side: "Little master! Take him! ”

"Uncle Yue, you also persuade me to accept him?" Li Tao was surprised.

Pei Yue sighed, his eyes were a little confused, and said, "Yes!" Little master! What Nie Shensuan did today, I also did it more than ten years ago! At that time, I begged a young man to take me in, and I was willing to abandon everything for this! Eventually, the boy took me in, and he is your father! Therefore, I can quite understand Nie Shensuan's mood at this moment! ”

Li Tao looked at the Yuan clan again, and the Yuan clan bowed slightly.

Li Tao said solemnly to Nie Wushuang: "I can teach you the art of arithmetic, but we can't be commensurate with master and apprentice. From now on, I will call you Lao Nie, and you will call me ......"

Before Li Tao finished speaking, Nie took over and said, "I'll call you the little master like Uncle Yue!" ”

"This ...... All right! Also, you have to be prepared, maybe our days are very hard, maybe we have to be displaced. In short, it may be completely different from your previous days! ”

"Little master, 'you start with this, you must end with this', I will keep in mind what you said! Rest assured! Nie Wushuang nodded.

"Finally, if you want to leave one day, just let me know, don't worry!"

"I remember, little master!"

"Uncle Yue, let Lao Nie live with you!" Li Tao said to Pei Yue.

"Okay! It's rare to have someone to keep me company! Let's go, Lao Nie, I'll take you! Pei Yue was very happy.

……

"Wang Langjun, how's it going?" Li Tao asked as soon as he saw Wang Xi.

Since Wang Xi and Wu Laoqi came back from the Yaksha cockfight, Wu Laoqi began to train "Drill Steel Wind" and "Flying Steel Canopy". Wu Laoqi has a set of unique skills in training cockfighting, and his skills such as punching, jumping, running, slipping, panning, and rubbing are all breathtaking. In just a few months, the two Yaksha have been trained to their own stunts, and the fighting cocks, including the iron rooster, in the Liu Mansion compound are all bowed down. Li Tao also came to take a look at it at two ends in three days, and he was more interested in the annual cockfighting conference.

"With Wu seniors here, there shouldn't be a big problem!" Wang Xi's face showed joy, with a famous chicken and a famous teacher, the victory is in hand!

Who knows, but Wu Laoqi frowned and said: "These two chickens are difficult to call kings, but I am afraid of fighting cocks with the Zhai family."

Wang Xi comforted: "Senior Wu, you are too humble, today we will go to the cockfight, drill the steel wind, this is not another fight to win." It just so happened that Li Xiaolangjun came, and we had two drinks. ”

Wu Laoqi was silent after hearing this, and Wang Xi ordered to prepare wine and food.

The three of them were about to raise their glasses, when they suddenly saw their subordinates walk in in a panic: "Oh no, master!" Just now, the drill steel wind and the drunken chicken fought together, and the fight ...... Fight to the death! ”

Since Wang Xi brought the drunken chicken home, this drunken chicken is indeed a chicken without a fighting surname, even if the ordinary chicken spreads its wings, it will be scared to retreat, and it has become a joke for the next people, Wang Xi almost forgot it, but I didn't expect that now there is a surname Dou, but it is a pity that just "broken mouth" was pecked to death by the drill steel wind.
