Chapter 177: Whitewashing the Peace

The water of the Jingnan Canal flows quietly, and there are no waves in the calm river, and the yellow embankment stands on both sides of the river.

Mu Chenmo hid behind his master, watching him kick the officials up one by one, and the officials climbed to the embankment with a grunt to wake up the people in the tent.

The tent is the most ordinary kind in the barracks, Mu Chenmo frowned when he saw it, and when he saw the people who came out of the tent and the clothes they were wearing, his anger rushed to the top of his head.

The soldiers of Daqi are actually the soldiers of Daqi, a group of people who should protect their homes with their lives, but they are doing things to help and abus, how can they bear to do such a unconscionable thing.

The river slowly flowed from the place of the breach to Luxi Town, Mu Chenmo took a cursory look at the place where the breach was not large, that is, the width of the four sacks placed horizontally, and the three strong men could fill it in half a day.

"Damn, you can't wait for the dawn to call your grandfather, and you are also blocking the digging, a group of well-fed bastards......"

With the sound of scolding, a burly and unkempt man came out, with a piece of grass in his mouth, and the gray military uniform attached to his body was small and tight, reminding Mu Chenmo of the shapewear in his previous life.

The official bent down beside him and said nice things, and the master took out two bulging money bags from his sleeve and handed them over, and the big man put them in his hand and checked them, scolding and scolding and leading people to carry the packed sacks.

They were obviously very experienced in nailing three thick wooden stakes to the breach, and then they began to drop the sacks, which fell higher and higher, gradually stopping the flow of the river to Luxi Town.

The man who looked like a master followed behind the burly man, stretched his neck and looked at the soldiers who were working: "Captain Lu, it's dawn, and the brothers are reinforcing it." ”

"Don't plan, don't fucking reinforce it, and let Lao Tzu plane, no matter how much money you have, you can't always do thankless things, Master Li, you say yes."

The master nodded and bowed: "Captain Lu is right, I won't hide it from you, I said above that the Seventh Prince, who is unlearned and unskilled, and General Mu, who is half male and not female, are coming in the next two days, so you should pay more attention." ”

Mu Chenmo saw that the grass chewed in Captain Lu's mouth floated to the ground, and the burly man grabbed Master Li's neck, confirmed it again, let go of his hand and hurried down the embankment.

Master Li patted the place where he was arrested just now with his hand, looked at the back of the big man with disdain and contempt, and turned around and returned to the county government with the servant.

Looking at both sides, Mu Chenmo decided to stay on the embankment, the reaction of Captain Lu was unusual, and the county government was staring at Qi Yu.

In the tent, Captain Lu came out with two bags of silver, counted them, took out a small piece and put it in his pocket, and divided the rest into two piles.

When the soldiers returned to the tent, Captain Lu pointed to two piles of silver: "Our lack of virtue money has come to an end, this is today's silver, Lao Tzu will give half to the family of the dead brother according to the custom, and half to you." ”

"Boss Lu, who is sent from above is powerful?" The soldier asked with a hippie smile.

Boss Lu glared at the soldier who was speaking, and said to a bookish soldier.

"Lu Xiucai, you give these little rabbits a share, and the rest will be sent over tomorrow." Pointing to the soldier who had just spoken: "The Seventh Prince and General Mu are coming, you guys are a little numb when you look long."

The bookish soldier put away one of the packets, and the rest was silently distributed to the standing soldiers, whose faces were strangely twisted, as if relieved and melancholy.

There are a few soldiers who have not heard of General Mu's reputation, she governs the army very strictly, trains the soldiers very harshly, but teaches the soldiers martial arts, teaches literacy and food, and has high welfare, and there is not a single nest egg mixed under her hands.

"Take the silver, strengthen the embankment tomorrow, and when General Mu and they leave, I will go through the formalities for you, retire from the army, go home and farm well, and live the days of hot kang for your wife and children." After Captain Lu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Everyone holding the silver, looking at his back, their hearts were heavy, is Boss Lu ready to bear all the blame alone?

Mu Chenmo frowned, looking at the back of Dahan Xiaose, with mixed feelings in his heart, I don't know how many people like Captain Lu in the south are forced by real time and can't escape the condemnation of conscience to do self-righteous good deeds.

followed Captain Lu to the embankment of the Jingnan Canal, the river flowed quietly, Captain Lu stood motionless, and for a moment Mu Chenmo felt that this big man wanted to jump into the water.

He stood there until the sky began to turn white, then he moved his stiff body, let out a long sigh, and walked towards the breach.

Looking at the sky, Mu Chenmo decided to let Luo Youning come to test him, and Qi Yu didn't know what news he had heard.

As soon as he got off the embankment, Mu Chenmo heard a gong sounding, and the officials shouted loudly: "The embankment has been blocked, and each family will send a labor to clean up the stagnant water and silt on the street." ”

Mu Chenmo walked briskly to the old lady's house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Qi Yu holding Xiaobao playing high, and Luo Youning helping the old lady cook in the kitchen.

Seeing Mu Chenmo come back, Qi Yu put down the little treasure in his hand and touched her dew-soaked clothes.

"Let's go change clothes first, and there's something to say in the house."

Xiaobao obediently went to find his grandmother, Mu Chenmo nodded and walked into the house, Qi Yu followed behind her, and the two exchanged things they saw while changing clothes.

After the county order waited for Master Li to go back, the two of them were in a hurry to hide the silver, and found the head of the official and asked him to lead people to clean up the mud on the street in the morning, and three days later, Luxi Town was restored to its original appearance.

"Mo'er, do you think that Master Li is very familiar?" Qi Yu took the belt in Mu Chenmo's hand and helped her tie it.

Mu Chenmo shook it, and Qi Yu frowned and said, "It's very similar to Master Li in Wei County." ”

"Let the dark department check to see if that Master Li is still in prison, if he ran away, why didn't he go to the Huns to find that Wu County Order."

Mu Chenmo took the cloth towel in Qi Yu's hand and analyzed while wiping his face.

"An order has been given to the Shadows." Qi Yu frowned and touched Mu Chenmo's hair: "Leave it to me to run out in the future, your body can't get cold." ”

Mu Chenmo gave Qi Yu a roll of his eyes, what time is it now, Qi Yu still has the heart to care about her body.

The gang moved really fast, they had just arrived, and his letter had been delivered, and the county magistrate of Luxi Town obviously wanted to whitewash the peace.

"Qi Yu, should we arrest that county order and ask it."

Untied Mu Chenmo's hair, Qi Yu took a dry cloth towel to wipe her hair: "I want to show my identity tomorrow." ”

"Oh no, we didn't find anything." Mu Chenmo raised his head in surprise and frowned in disagreement.

Qi Yu smiled mysteriously at Mu Chenmo: "Eat first, I'll take you to meet a few people after eating." ”

Combed a low ponytail, Mu Chenmo followed Qi Yu into the kitchen with a puzzled stomach, Xiaobao blinked his big eyes and looked at Mu Chenmo in a daze.

"Uncle is like a mother." The old lady slapped Xiaobao: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and eat." ”

His eyes kept glancing at Mu Chenmo, Mu Chenmo, who put down his hair, was a little more tender, Qi Yu leaned into Xiaobao's ear, and the two of them muttered.

Xiaobao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I am a man and I will keep secrets." ”

"A man eats quickly, and when he grows up, he can protect the person he wants to protect." Qi Yu rubbed Xiaobao's hair.

Mu Chenmo looked at the two interacting with each other, if they had children, Qi Yu must be a good father, thinking that Qi Yu's age would be similar to Xiaobao if he got married and had children normally.

Before the meal was finished, the shouts of the officials came in from outside: "Mrs. Zhang, take your broom and come out to sweep the street." ”

The old lady put down the bowl and hurriedly went out, Mu Chenmo put down the bowl in his hand with a glare, and Luo Youning quickly finished the rice in the bowl and said loudly.

"I'll go and help Granny Zhang sweep the streets." Mu Chenmo stopped him: "You go to the embankment in a while and get acquainted with Captain Lu and them, let's sweep the street or I'll go." ”

Qi Yu stood up: "I'll go, Mo'er, you watch Xiaobao at home and take a good rest." ”

Without waiting for Mu Chenmo to refuse, Qi Yu walked out of the kitchen directly with long legs, and Luo Youning also went out.

Mu Chenmo had no choice but to take Xiaobao to wash the dishes of several people, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Mrs. Zhang had not come back, so he took Xiaobao out to find it.
