Chapter 12: The Night Comes

Leng Yi looked at him and said, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Master Dong said: "Those who owe taxes are those squires and landlords, led by Lai Yuanwai, as long as he is allowed to pay taxes, others will follow suit." ”

Leng Yi wanted to ask him if he didn't pay it, but he couldn't ask, if he had already said this before, wouldn't it be exposed? You'll find out later.

Leng Yi handed the account to Master Dong and said, "Early tomorrow morning, let's go to Kuli Village again, and we will have a good meeting with this Lairen!" ”

"Yes!" Master Dong stood up.

Leng Yi also stood up, thought for a while, and said, "You tell the brothers that I embezzled their money, I'm sorry, but I promise that within ten days, I will definitely find a way to return the salary owed to them." ”

I owe too much debt, relying on the salary of the county, and I don't know if I can pay it off in the Year of the Monkey. He decided to spend 10 days to see if it was possible to solve the tax theft case and get all the money back. If not, you will have to sell one or two of the things you brought back from modern times. This is the last resort. He is confident that he can sell at a good price and make up for the shortfall. But as a last resort, he doesn't want to use these things, and saves them for use where they are needed most, so as to maximize the benefits.

Master Dong naturally didn't know that the county had already been replaced, he laughed dryly, and thought to himself, you don't know how many times you promised this promise, but you just don't fulfill it. It's not easy to break, of course, I sympathize with his plight, nod, take the account book, and go out.

It's dark.

Zhuo Qiaoniang lit a lantern under the corridor, and the dim light illuminated the inner house. It was raining again, and it was still freezing rain, caught in the cold wind, and it was cold.

Leng Yi was still standing under the corridor thinking about her thoughts, Zhuo Qiaoniang came behind him, a cold wind blew, and she couldn't help shivering.

Although this movement was small, it still woke Leng Yi from his contemplation. He turned around, glanced at Zhuo Qiaoniang, and said, "You go into the house, I'll close the door." ”

The servants are gone, and they are on their own. Leng Yi walked quickly through the rain, closed the door of the inner house, and returned to the porch.

Zhuo Qiaoniang had been standing there waiting for him, and when he entered the bedroom, she followed in.

Leng Yi saw a wooden basin of hot water on the ground. There is also a bucket next to it, which holds half a bucket of hot water. It turned out that she was so good at talking to Master Dong, and Zhuo Qiaoniang was ready to wash her feet.

Leng Yi thought to himself, it's just not long after dark, do you have to wash your feet and sleep? It's too early. However, the ancients all said that they came out and did what they said and fell and rested, which is in line with the law. sat down, Zhuo Qiaoniang hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down to help him take off his boots. Leng Yi hurriedly said: "I'll come by myself, and you can wash it too." Wash it together! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled shyly and shook her head: "The official washed me and I will wash it again." ”

Leng Yi didn't know how Nazhi County had dealt with this problem before, so it was best to observe it first and figure it out. So he didn't insist, and after washing his feet, he sat down on the chair, looked at the old but antique bed, and his heart began to pound.

He has talked about girlfriends, and he has talked to girlfriends. However, the one in front of him is someone else's wife, his husband has been forced to confess and died suddenly, and he impersonated him, just so that he could take root in this unfamiliar ancient world and have a place to live, although he also vowed to take good care of his family, but does this also include sharing a bed with his wife or even a circle and fork?

At that time, the situation was urgent, but I didn't think about it so much, but now I realize that it is a big problem.

Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't know if he was sitting there thinking about whether he wanted to sleep with her. came over and said, "The concubine gives the official a wide coat." ”

Leng Yi didn't know if this was a rule, so he could only follow the established policy, go with the flow, stand up and let him loosen his clothes.

Zhuo Qiaoniang helped him take off his robe.

Leng Yi was very nervous, when he changed clothes with the dead Zhixian, he had observed the body of the Zhixian, and the height and weight were about the same, but the Zhixian was fat, and he was strong, his pectoralis major muscles, triceps, latissimus dorsi and other major muscle groups were obviously not as developed as himself, and he would not find it in a loose robe, but when he hugged him, he would immediately feel a significant difference.

Therefore, when Zhuo Qiaoniang untied his innermost piece of small clothes, he made a decision that he would rather make her sad than show her stuffing on the spot. So he pressed her hand and said, "It's cold, don't take it off, just put on your clothes and sleep." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang was a little surprised, but didn't say more, squatted down to help him untie his pants.

The muscles in his legs are relatively imperceptible, and as long as he doesn't exert himself, the muscle groups will not be immediately apparent. However, when she took off his bloomer pants and wanted to take off the innermost pair of underwear for him, he felt a sense of guilt, and finally reached out and pressed her hand, and said a little unnaturally: "It's cold, don't take off your pants." Before he could react, he got into the quilt.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was even more surprised, and stood there looking at him in a daze, as if she was thinking about something.

Leng Yi was a little nervous, could she see something flawed? He smiled quietly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's nothing!"

As she spoke, Zhuo Qiaoniang went out with a wooden basin and poured water, fetched water again, and washed her feet. Seeing that Leng Yi was still looking at her sideways, he smiled, wiped his feet with a footkerchief, pulled his shoes to bring the water to the corner of the house, and tied the door. With his back to him, he began to take off his dress.

Leng Yi saw her slowly take off her blouse, revealing her slightly thin shoulders, a smooth back like satin, a red ribbon tied around her neck and waist, and a small part of round puff breasts could be seen from the side.

Leng Yi had that strong sense of guilt in his heart, he quickly closed his eyes, pretended to be very cold, and retracted his head into the quilt.

Soon, the lights in the house were blown out, and he felt Zhuo Qiaoniang crawl past his feet, and then crawled into the inner bed and got into the quilt.

Everything was quiet.

Leng Yi tried to get himself to sleep as soon as possible so that he could get rid of the guilt in his heart. According to the past, no matter how noisy it was, he said that he would sleep when he slept, but this time it was different, and the more he tried to fall asleep as soon as possible, the harder it was to fall asleep.

At this moment, he heard Zhuo Qiaoniang's soft voice in the dark: "Official......"

Leng Yi snorted.

Zhuo Qiaoniang's voice was a little depressed, like a child who had done something wrong: "Is the official angry with the concubine?" ”

Leng Yi chuckled in his heart, did he reveal a flaw? Busy said: "No......!" Why? ”

"Then ......, why didn't the officials strip down and sleep like before? And don't you sleep with your concubine? ”

It turned out that their husband and wife still had this private affair, Leng Yi was a little cold sweat, and said perfunctorily: "I ......, I'm a little tired today, and I said it, it seems to be very cold today, and it's too cold to take off." ”

"However, as you said, the colder it gets, the warmer it is to take off the concubine and hold it, ......and it is warmer."

Leng Yi had more cold sweat on his forehead, but from what she said, he could understand that the dead Zhixian husband and wife were very affectionate. Zhuo Qiaoniang just thinks of herself as her husband. Wouldn't it be too despicable if you were wrong and ruined other people's wives?

Moreover, his physical fitness is obviously different from that of Nazhi County, if he hey, he will immediately be exposed, and his mind is like electricity, and he immediately made a decision. It's still that principle, I'd rather make her sad than show it. So he turned his back to him and said, "I'm tired, go to bed early." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang sighed a little aggrieved. After a moment, he said softly: "Thank you, official!" ”

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for the hairpin that the official bought me, it was the first gift the official gave to the concubine."

"Nothing. Go to sleep! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't speak. After a while, her even snort could be heard. Leng Yi knew that she was asleep.

After gradually calming down, Leng Yi soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a very slight noise. It was the click of stepping on the ice under the porch of the window, although it was very slight, but after Leng Yi knew that the magistrate he replaced was forced to confess to death, and the person who forced the confession might have a great background, he was very vigilant.

I don't know what the middle-aged man is looking for to extract a confession from himself, but Leng Yi can be sure that it must be a very important thing, so important that he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life to keep it secret. Such an important thing should not be related to him alone, otherwise if he commits suicide, that thing will not be able to be found, so he must still have accomplices, and his accomplices will definitely find him.

Today he drove all his servants away, not only because they had bullied Zhuo Qiaoniang, but also because he needed a quiet environment to discover possible enemies.

Now, he heard footsteps in the courtyard that should have been silent, and he immediately woke up.
