Chapter 156: Separate Investigations
Qi Yu was amazed around the rockery, Mu Chenmo wiped his hair and walked over curiously, not understanding what was special about this big stone that was used as a rockery.
Qi Yu took the cloth towel in Mu Chenmo's hand, and wiped her hair while explaining her doubts, and Mu Chenmo was surprised when she heard it.
"Taihu Stone, I've heard that this is one of the four strange stones, the price is outrageous, this Wu County Order can actually buy it, and it is not small to dare to put it in the backyard of the county government."
"Let's touch this county office tonight to see if there's anything missing?" Qi Yu touched Mu Chenmo's hair, and saw that it was half-dry, and put down the cloth towel this time.
Tying his hair up high, Mu Chenmo pulled Qi Yu and walked towards the main courtyard, and the screams sounded as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Mu Chenmo retreated with black lines on his face, how could there be female dependents here, why didn't Wu County Ling run away and didn't take them away together, Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo with a smile.
Grabbed her and flashed into the dark shadow, and saw a little maid walking out of it with the root of the fire, standing at the door with vigilant eyes and looking around.
Qi Yu, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Mu Chenmo, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, and lowered his head and kissed him, but he didn't expect that a calm and rational person would have such a cute expression.
Glaring at Qi Yu, Mu Chenmo saw that the little maid turned around and returned to the courtyard, and after closing the courtyard door, she also made a sound of topping up the wood, obviously treating them as thieves or flower thieves.
"When you boiled hot water, didn't you notice anyone in the courtyard?" Mu Chenmo's voice was blaming.
Qi Yu looked at her innocently: "I use the small kitchen next to Master Li's earroom." ”
Mu Chen glanced at him and went up to the roof, Qi Yu touched his nose and followed.
When the two of them came to the room, they opened a tile and looked inside, and saw a woman with a delicate face and a delicate figure holding the hand of the maid who had just held the stick.
"What kind of people are outside, bamboo clothes, I'm afraid."
The maid had no fear on her face: "Don't be afraid, madam, Zhuyi has a stick in his hand to beat one by one, Cheng Yatou and they are coming back soon, I just heard the sound of horses' hooves." ”
Qi Yu glanced at Mu Chenmo, Mu Chenmo gave him an unceremonious glance, she could be afraid of a little girl's stick, what she was afraid of was the high-decibel scream, she was afraid of being deaf.
Glancing at the furnishings in the room, the beaded curtains and jade jade, the mahogany carved bed, the sandalwood tables, chairs and benches, and the jewelry under the lamp glowed brightly.
The corners of Mu Chenmo's mouth were raised, the furnishings of this room were comparable to the room specially arranged for her by Qi Yu in the palace, and this Wu County Commander really became the emperor of the soil in this Wei County.
Putting the tiles back in place, Mu Chenmo fell lightly into the courtyard, Qi Yu on the roof shook his head and fell, Mu Chenmo pointed at him and instructed the two to act separately.
Qi Yu shook his head, Mu Chenmo glared at him, Qi Yu shook his head innocently, there was no way Mu Chenmo had to take him to rummage together.
After a circle, Mu Chenmo was surprised to find that the pair of masters and servants he had just seen in the entire back house was no one else, and there were not even decent tables, chairs and valuable things.
Tugging Mu Chenmo's hand, Qi Yu yawned at her: "Mo'er, let's find a place to sleep first, and tomorrow we will take Master Li to find it openly." ”
"You want to tell them who we are." Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu puzzled.
Didn't you discuss it on the way here, first conceal your identity and investigate secretly, and wait for your uncle to bring the grain?
Nodding Mu Chenmo's forehead, Qi Yu hugged her waist and walked towards the room next to Master Li, Mu Chenmo was inexplicably surprised by his movements.
"Master Li should already know our identity, and there is no point in hiding it." Qi Yu sighed helplessly.
Mu Chenmo began to rack his brains to think about where the two of them leaked the flaws.
"Qi Yu." Mu Chenmo paused, looked up at Qi Yu, and Qi Yu nodded.
Seeing Mu Chenmo give him a mouth, Qi Yu grabbed her hand distressedly and kissed the little mouth that had just been slapped.
Mu Chenmo froze in place, Qi Yu kissed and blew: "I can't beat myself anymore, I will kiss you wherever you hit in the future." ”
Mu Chenmo, who had a black line on his face, directly pushed Qi Yu aside, but his face was dyed with a layer of crimson, this person is too good at flirting, he doesn't feel distressed when he beats himself, what is his distress.
blamed himself for being smooth, but he didn't expect that a name could expose the identities of the two, and he also blamed himself for the surname here.
Keeping up with the annoyed and angry back, a gentle smile rose at the corner of Qi Yu's mouth, Mo'er's shy appearance was so beautiful.
As soon as the two of them lay down, they heard movement next door, Mu Chenmo opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door, Qi Yu reached out and patted her, signaling her to sleep.
When Master Li saw the two horses in the courtyard, he knew that the two had moved in, but the county government said that it was not big or small, and he didn't know which room the two lived in, and he wanted to find the two who were afraid of alarming the two who were sleeping.
Pacing around the house a few times, he sighed lightly and lay down on the bed, and tomorrow I will ask them about the situation of Hui Niang and the people who went to the capital.
It wasn't until there was no movement next door that Mu Chenmo closed his eyes, looking at Mu Chenmo who was so alert, Qi Yu's eyes flashed with pity, the habits developed in more than ten years cannot be changed overnight.
The sky was bright, there was movement next door, Mu Chenmo opened his eyes at the same time and sat up, Qi Yu had no choice but to get out of bed.
Master Li watched in surprise as Mu Chenmo walked out of the next door, the willow branch in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he opened his mouth but didn't know how to call her.
Stretching his waist, Qi Yu walked to the door, and handed the prepared wooden-handled toothbrush to Mu Chenmo, who looked at Master Li while brushing his teeth.
After washing, seeing that Master Li was still standing there in a daze, he reminded: "Master Li, after washing, let's discuss how to exterminate locusts." ”
Putting away the toiletries used by the two of them, Qi Yu took out two cakes and handed them to Mu Chenmo, shaking his head while eating, Mu Chenmo glared at him, and he gave up.
Looking at the way it looks here, it is a luxury to be able to eat the bread in their hands.
came to Master Li's room, Mu Chenmo spoke: "Since Master Li already knows the identities of the two of us, we will no longer hide it, Hui Niang fainted on the street of the capital with the child......
After listening to Mu Chenmo's narration, Master Li came back to his senses for a long time: "Hui Niang, my good daughter, my father is not as good as you." ”
Looking at Master Li who was crying there, Mu Chenmo frowned irritably, always feeling that Master Li seemed to be pretentious.
"Okay, let's talk about the current disaster situation in Wei County, as well as the situation of the grain in the granary, and prepare to distribute food to the people." Qi Yu interrupted.
Touching his face, Master Li looked embarrassed: "The granaries are empty, we are close to the northern frontier here, and they were all requisitioned during the war, and we were waiting for today's harvest to make up for it." ”
Hearing his words, Mu Chenmo's brows furrowed, but Qi Yu carefully interrogated about the specific matter, knowing that Qi Yu must have intentions Mu Chenmo waited patiently.
Towards the end of the conversation between the two, Qi Yu stared at Master Li: "Where did Wu Xian Ling flee to?" ”
"I don't know, it's still Aunt Rou who found out that his wife was missing when she asked for peace, and she couldn't find Wu County's order, so she found me, and I just knew that he was gone." Master Li shook his head and sighed.
Qi Yu, who had been staring at Master Li for a long time, nodded, Mu Chenmo glanced at Qi Yu curiously, I don't know what this guy has discovered, this kind of officialdom will be handed over to Qi Yu.
I still try to recall the method of controlling the locust plague in my previous life, what is the natural enemy of locusts, and after finding it, I can raise it in Wei County, and if I come from the grassland, the locusts can at least be wiped out.
Listening to Qi Yu and Master Li's official words, Mu Chenmo got up: "I'll go out and see why the locusts are only on the border of Wei County, not in nearby counties." ”
Qi Yu hurriedly followed without saying a word, and Master Li also hurriedly got up and saluted Mu Chenmo: "General Mu, I'll go with you." ”
Turning around, Mu Chenmo looked at the two people behind him: "Qi Yu, you stay with Master Li, there are more important things waiting for you, and the matter of controlling the locusts will be left to me." ”
After speaking, she turned her head and walked out, she knew that Qi Yu must understand the meaning of her words, Wu County's embezzlement case must be investigated, it is impossible for the two of them to be tied together, and acting separately is the fastest.
