65 The dust settled
Dong Lao is kind and kind, and he is known for treating his subordinates in Lanfeng County, if he can go to Dong Lao's house to work, it is indeed a good place to live.
But now Yuan Xi, since she was enlightened by Zhao Shuang in tea art, she doesn't want anything else, she wants to learn and experience more tea ceremony, make better and more beautiful tea, only by following Miss Zhao, can she learn a higher level of tea making skills and tea ceremony, she doesn't want to leave.
After Dong Lao asked that sentence, Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Moshen nervously.
Zhao Moshen was entangled, it was said that it was not a wise move to offend an old man like Dong Lao for a little girl, but Yuan Xi was Zhao Shuang's own girl.
Not only can he, a father, not only can't give his daughter a good life, but he even has to give away the girl that his daughter bought with his own ability, and he feels that he might as well go into the cracks of the ground.
After being entangled for a while, Zhao Moshen said honestly: "Dong Lao, don't hide it, the official has always been ashamed of his daughter, he can't give her a good life, and he wants her to manage the life of the official, this girl is Shuang'er's only girl, and she is also her most trusted girl, and the official is really not good for her daughter." ”
Such a sincere Zhao Moshen made Dong Lao appreciate it, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is too worried, my old man is just talking, Miss Zhao and I are both in the tea ceremony, how can we win people's love, hahaha, drink tea, drink tea." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and drank another cup of tea.
But there was still a little itch in his heart, and Dong Lao said with a shy face: "If it's convenient, it's okay to bother Miss Yuan to go to the mansion to make a cup of tea?" ”
Zhao Moshen hurriedly said: "Of course." ”
The three of Meng County did not have Dong Lao's obsession with tea, although they also liked good tea, but they poured tea for a morning in a row, and continued to drink it in the afternoon, and their stomachs were full of tea, which was a little unbearable.
But Dong Lao spit overflowed with stars, pulling them to taste tea, and they really couldn't shirk it, so they could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the old man.
The most difficult thing is Zhao Moshen, while dealing with the scene in front of him, he is worried about the reinforcements of Pinglan Mansion, and he is afraid that there will be problems in the Grange, and he is afraid that the people of the Meng, Zhang, and Liu families will notice it.
It wasn't until Shen Zheng that Li Zhutou came in in a panic and reported: "My lord, my lord, Pinglan Mansion suddenly sent troops to surround our county!" ”
Zhao Mo's hanging heart fell to the ground, but he pretended to be inexplicable and panicked on his face and said, "A few people are here for a while, and the official will go and see the situation." Is there a criminal hiding among the beggars and homeless people, leading Pinglan Mansion to besiege the city? ”
Dong Lao said: "Nine times out of ten, you can go quickly, business is important, don't worry about my old man." ”
The three of Meng County, who originally had ghosts in their hearts, were shocked when they heard this, but when they heard what Zhao Moshen said, and then thought of the strict deployment of themselves and others, they should not have been discovered by Pinglan Mansion, not to mention that Zhao Moshen, who was guarding Lanfeng, did not even find out, how could Pinglan Mansion find out?
After Zhao Moshen hurriedly left, Meng Xiancheng also stood up and said, "A few of you will do it for a while, and the official will also go to see the situation." ”
Dong Lao grabbed Meng Xiancheng and said with a smile: "Master Meng doesn't have to go, the county government always has to leave one person to preside over things, you and Lord Zhao both go to the city gate to watch the excitement, no one is presiding over official business in the county government, we little people will be afraid." ”
Although Meng Xiancheng didn't think that Dong Lao would be afraid, his words made sense, at this time, as the second-in-command of the county government, he was indeed obliged to stay in the county government to preside over the work after the county magistrate left.
Meng Xiancheng said: "I'll go to the front of the errand room to see what the situation is." ”
There are only two elderly officers in the errand room who organize their household registration under the arrangement of the master book, and they don't know about what is happening outside, and they don't care.
The master book is old, and he is about to retire, and Meng Xiancheng has never taken him seriously.
After turning around, he didn't see a few of his henchmen, and Meng Xiancheng went to the house again, and he was not there.
He didn't care about this, he worked in the grange at night, and at this time he mostly went to the public house to make up for sleep, and only when Zhao Moshen had something to do, the servants would call him.
Everything looked normal, Meng Xiancheng didn't care, turned around, and was about to go back to his office to sit down, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps and horses' hooves on the street outside.
Meng Xiancheng was shocked in his heart, his heartbeat instantly accelerated, and when an ominous premonition rose, a team of officers and soldiers rushed in to surround him.
A general said: "Name? ”
Meng Xiancheng pretended to be calm and said: "This official is the county magistrate of Lanfeng County, why did you trespass on the county office?" ”
Meng Xiancheng tried his best to cheer himself up, no matter how bad it is, this is also an important place for the government, even if you are officers and soldiers, you can't break in and arrest people.
The general said: "Are you in front of the county of Lanfeng County?" ”
Meng Jieqian said: "It is the official ......"
"Take it." Confirming his identity, the general waved his hand to interrupt what Meng Xiancheng was about to say.
The officers and soldiers immediately tied up Meng Xiancheng and gagged his mouth, giving him no room to speak at all.
Another group of officers and soldiers had already tied up Liu Yuanwai and Zhang Yuanwai, who were drinking tea in the house.
Dong Lao touched his beard and looked at this scene calmly.
Seeing so many officers and soldiers, Yuan Xi was a little scared, and Dong Lao said, "Little girl, stand beside the old man." ”
Yuan Xi followed Dong Lao out of the house and saw the officers and soldiers entering the county government with a group of arrested masters and subordinates of the three mansions.
She knew most of the people in Mengfu, and when she saw that they were fine a few days ago, but now they suddenly became prisoners, and Yuan Xi felt a kind of happiness for the rest of her life.
If she hadn't met Miss Zhao, she would have been one of these people now, what kind of fate would be waiting for her?
A general got off his horse and bowed his hand to Zhao Moshen: "The last general was ordered by General Tan to assist Lord Zhao of Lanfeng County in arresting the gangsters, and now he has taken down the people of Mengfu, Liufu, and Zhangfu. General Tan explained that the last general was dispatched by the procurator Lin and Zhao, what else did the lord command? ”
Zhao Mo hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The general has worked hard, Lord Lin is still in Beiwa Grange, and the general is tired of leading the troops to bring Lord Lin back." ”
Near evening, Zhao Shuang and the others who stayed in the Grange finally waited for reinforcements led by the messengers, and learned that Meng County Cheng and other people from the three prefectures had been subdued, and their hanging hearts finally settled down.
After Lin Chu greeted the general who led the team, he immediately dispatched troops to take away the living criminals in the Grange, and the dead temporarily found a room to park and wait for their families to claim them. The kidnapped beggars and displaced people were brought back to Lanfeng County for resettlement.
Rao is Lin Chu has been an official for many years and has experienced countless cases, but it is the first time that such a large-scale murder case has been made.
Lin Wenyi's face was pale until now, obviously the young man was frightened by this experience.
Lin Chu had already given up on the road of bringing him to the criminal officer in his heart.
