"Master Tong, come with me."

Li Yuelin got up and led everyone out of the door, shuttled again, crossed the Kuiguang Gate, and arrived at the prison, a huge word "prison" looked even more gloomy under the cold moonlight, and it was surprisingly quiet inside.

Ma Ye and the others followed in, passing through every room all the way, but they were all empty.

"Lord Li, is the security in Xingxian so good? Not a single prisoner in custody? ”

"It's all gone."

Li Yuelin responded lightly.

"Released?"

Ma Ye couldn't believe his ears.

"They can't afford to pay taxes, or they flee to the county, steal food for the old lady and doll, grab the bread to eat, and they can't catch it, and the county government has no spare money to provide food, who will raise it?"

"The fast Zhuang class has been dismissed, and the current Xingxian Yamen is also in vain, just like a lowly position, and he is just a county official in name only."

Li Yuelin raised his head and sighed.

"Master!"

Brother Yuan, who was originally squatting in the prison and depressed, saw his master appear, jumped up excitedly, came to the door, and came to the railing with both hands to see.

Li Yuelin took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and without talking nonsense, he directly opened the door and released people.

"Let's go."

Li Yuelin turned his back and waved his hand.

"Lord Li, if there is any difficulty, it is better to report to the official family as soon as possible, such an assertion and arbitrary action will break the law, where is the public knowledge, where is the prestige."

Ma Ye felt that this Master Li was not a big treacherous evil, and he spoke out to persuade him.

Li Yuelin snorted coldly.

"Huh, Weiyi? Did you see those vulgar people just now? The bandits on Bishan also dare to come to our county to slander people, indeed, where is the prestige. ”

"This gang of bandits is so rampant! Blamed on the county master? How many people and what equipment? When I go back today, I will write a document asking the upper authorities to send troops to suppress the bandits. ”

Ma Ye was also indignant after hearing this.

"Don't bother Lord Tong, Commander Hu is already stationed three miles outside the city."

Li Yuelin didn't appreciate it.

"The official family sent troops to suppress the bandits, why did you know before me?"

"I don't know about this humble position, but the 200,000 taels of funds that need to be prepared for this bandit suppression are impossible to take."

"Please ask Lord Tong to pass by Commander Hu's residence on the way back to the mansion, and help bring a word, this Gangxing County can't afford to suppress it."

Li Yuelin bowed his hand and saluted again.

Qiao Jinxin suddenly understood how much helplessness was hidden in the deep wrinkles on the forehead between the rickety little old man's eyebrows.

"It's not a problem for the people of Kexing County to be harassed by this gang of bandits for a long time."

"If you can bear it, bear with it, after all, they will pay a few thousand taels at most, and the ones they pick are mainly rich squires."

Li Yuelin shook his head helplessly.

Ma Ye was silent for a while.

"Master Li, I don't think you look like a dignitary or dignitary when you dress and eat, and you don't set up a name to collect miscellaneous taxes, and you can't even collect the taxes that the court has to pay, how can you have any silver on you, why are they targeting you?"

Qiao Jin was puzzled.

"When I arrived, I took my dependent granddaughter Huilan, and on the first day I entered the city, I was harassed by the cottage owner Yan Mingxiang, and I have been harassed so far, every time it is nothing more than a coercion and temptation, let me marry my granddaughter to him as the wife of the village."

"Lord Li, you are a good official who is so aware of the suffering of the people of Xingxian County, you don't have to be the commander of Hu to suppress bandits, and Fuzhou is also okay, right, Lord Tong?"

As soon as Qiao Jinxin said this, Ma Ye almost choked on his own saliva.

"Well, this matter of suppressing bandits, it is a big matter, and I still have to go back and think about it slowly in the long run."

Ma Ye is helpless, such a big thing can be taken care of at will, and he is not afraid of flashing his tongue in the wind? It's not her who does the work.

"Well, we have to think in the long run, we have to find out the deployment of the opponent's troops first, deploy defenses everywhere, and then prescribe the right medicine to see how many troops to send, what kind of formation, and tactics."

Qiao Jinxin touched his chin, thoughtful, and had already begun to think about strategic deployment.

"Then the next official will thank Master Tong for the people of Quanxing County."

"Lord Li, please get up..."

Li Yuelin, who knelt down and knelt down, directly put Ma Ye on the moral high ground, and it was difficult to take off this big hat for a while.

Ma Ye smiled bitterly, when did this brother and sister be the same as his unlucky cousin, and it was not worth his life to kill people, and it was really not a family that did not enter the door.

A group of people came out of the Xingxian County Office, it was not early, Chang Gui was tiptoeing outside the gate early, looking around anxiously.

Seeing that the door opened, Xiuyun and Qiao Jinxin walked out and hurriedly ran forward to call.

"Young lady, you can figure it out, the young master is in a hurry at home!"

Qiao Jinxin asked unhurriedly: "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Chang Gui paused, his eyes rolled, but the expression on his face was anxious: "The old injury on the young master's back has recurred, and it hurts, you should go back and take a look." ”

Qiao Jinxin saw the clue: "Hurry up and find a doctor for the recurrence of the old injury, what are you looking for me, besides, isn't the injury on his back already healed, the scar is almost gone, and the medicine is still what I wipe on him every day, he didn't tell you?" ”

Chang Gui was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Qiao Jinxin to be so proficient.

"You go back and tell him that I won't go back in the past few days, so I'll stay at Mrs. Mu's place, Qiao'er is stimulated and frightened, and she wants someone to take care of her." As she spoke, she turned her head and asked Mrs. Mu for approval, "Mrs. Mu, is it okay?" ”

"No problem. The young lady likes to live as long as you like, as long as you like. ”

Mrs. Mu is very cheerful, and she is also willing to have multiple companions.

"But the young master..."

Chang Gui snorted, it is estimated that if he goes back alone, the young master's face will be black for a while.

"Oh, that's it, don't grind, hurry back, it's not early, we still have to hurry."

Qiao Jinxin took Xiuyun and followed Mrs. Mu into the carriage, while Ma Ye and Mr. Xu followed unhurriedly on horseback.

"It's really a crime, the Wang family's business is still over, and I have taken on a job to suppress bandits, so I either don't come to work, and I will get together as soon as I come."

Ma Ye shook his head and muttered to himself, Mr. Xu on the side thought that he was talking to himself, so he answered: "In the end, you Lord Tong is willing to accept it in your heart, otherwise who can force it according to your temperament." ”

Ma Ye turned his head, with great interest, and looked at this "master" carefully.

"Mr. knew Tong before?"

Lord Tong laughed, but he had heard some deeds of adults before. In the next Caomin Buyi, how can I be lucky enough to make friends with a character like Lord Tong. ”

"In this way, my husband is very similar to my classmates whom I haven't seen for many years."

Ma Ye looked carefully at this familiar eyebrow, and there were doubts in his eyes at this time, but he was more excited.

"Yes, the grass people are really honored."

"Does that gentleman know someone named Xu Hanlin?"

Mr. Xu still smiled and shook his head.

Ma Ye was a little deflated, but he didn't show it immediately on his face.

"Tong Huaixin, I don't know what to call Mr."

Ma Ye handed himself over to report his home.

"Don't dare to be, Lord Tong, in Xia Xu Min."

"From then on, I will call you Brother Xu."

"Lord Tong is in love."

After some greetings, the two knew each other, but along the way, Ma Ye still couldn't help it many times, and peeked at the people who were driving beside him.

I still have a lot of doubts in my heart: Is there really a person in this world who looks so similar?

It's literally carved out of a mold. Even the last name is the same.

Or does Xu Hanlin have a brother?

In the carriage, several female dependents sat together, but it was relatively quiet.

Qiao'er was still asleep, and Xiuyun took care of her carefully, allowing her to lean comfortably on her shoulder.

Mrs. Mu looked at Qiao Jinxin, who was staring at Qiao'er sleeping, and suddenly opened her mouth.

"This little girl is quite strong, but her life is hard."

Qiao Jinxin nodded: "Yes, in fact, he is still a child, who knows that he has so much courage." ”

"But when we were together, she often said that she liked Liang Hongyu, Mu Guiying, and there were also those who were close, it was you!"

"To tell you the truth, I'm also your little fan sister!"

Qiao Jinxin was so excited that he completely forgot that he was saying a new word.

"Fan girl?"

"It's what it means to be infatuated, to adore you, to admire you!"

Qiao Jinxin hurriedly explained.

"Admire me? What do you admire me, admire me for being young, and my husband has to stay a widow for the rest of my life before I see him?

Or do you admire me for doing business all over the world all year round to feed a large family, and still have to bear the infamy of not abiding by women's morals? ”

Although Mrs. Mu still had a gentle smile on her face, her eyes were obviously tired and lonely.

"Sister, I'm much older than you, and I'm looking farther than you.

There are too few places in this world that can accommodate women, and if you want to settle down and be safe, you have to keep your eyes open and find a good family.

Like you, good luck, a good person is found, the person who is less shopkeeper is good, he really reassures you on the point, to cherish it. ”

This heart-to-heart heartache disappointed Qiao Jinxin.

She didn't expect that the heroine she admired was actually a little woman from a small family who wanted to live a small life with her husband and children.

"He didn't reassure me, we both went our own ways and didn't interfere with each other."

"And I don't have to rely on him."

Qiao Jinxin turned sideways, not wanting to talk about this topic.

"He respects you, if he doesn't care about you, he will take you back to the house and block the whip for you when you risk the world's disapproval and swagger in men's clothes to listen to the drama in Liyuan?

And this time, he knew that you would be reckless and desperate to save Qiao'er, so as soon as he heard the news of my return to the city, he hurriedly looked for me and begged me to help solve the difficulty, isn't it all for you? ”

"Aren't you a horse, the rescuer brought by Lord Tong, why did you have anything to do with Gu Weijun again?"

"I met Master Tong halfway, and we came together, is there any problem?"

Mrs. Mu explained softly.

"Oh, it's nothing, I did it myself."

Although Qiao Jinxin didn't say anything, he secretly remembered Ma Ye's insidious villain in his heart.

After sending Qiao Jinxin and his female dependents to the Mu family safely, the master and servant of Ma Ye turned around again, asked Mrs. Mu to borrow a few family members, and continued to rush back to her mansion overnight.

After all, Qiao Jinxin Qiao'er and the two of them are okay, he and Brother Yuan are both men, staying at the widow's house, and the gossip is ugly, not to mention pulling the horrific corpse of the Wang family, stopping in the courtyard of others, it is easy to scare the living people who get up at night to death.

It was still the cold moonlight, shining on a group of tired and tired people who were hurrying mechanically, and carrying a wooden board covered with a white cloth.
