Looking at Tang Ji's back as he walked duck steps, Kou Yue and Li Sui couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Kou Yue couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lord Tang's way of walking, when you get to the battlefield, I'm afraid you won't be able to run away." ”

Li Sui also showed a knowing smile on his face, and said: "They literati are naturally different from those who march and fight in our army. Fortunately, he doesn't need to go to the battlefield, otherwise we will only be left with the part of being beaten. ”

Tang Ji's voice floated in from the window dissatisfied: "Talking about people behind your back is not a gentleman's doing!" ”

The two people in the room laughed together. Kou Yue said again: "General, there is one more thing. Because the general sent people to inspect every day, there were no bandits around Jiyan City for a long time, but they appeared again yesterday, and they had to find an opportunity to exterminate this group of people, and the scourge of the province was a scourge to the people. ”

Li Sui nodded and said: "This matter will be handed over to you, how many soldiers are needed, you just have to transfer." We must prevent what happened yesterday from happening again. ”

Kou Yue hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted, and agreed.

Li Sui said: "You should also go back, you shouldn't be in your class today, take a good rest at home, and ask the woman again by the way, see if you can ask something else." Since you have taken over this matter, even if she is really looking for relatives, the more detailed she says, the better it will be to help her find it. ”

When Kou Yue returned home and walked into the inner house, he saw a woman wearing a bun, wearing a golden heart and a phoenix hairpin, wearing lotus lotus clothes, starry eyes slightly turning, and elegant manners. Little girl Yao, this is polite! ”

Kou Yue couldn't help but feel distracted, hurriedly retracted his mind, solemnly returned the salute, and said lightly: "It's okay!" Anyway! Miss Yao is giving up, but are you still used to it? ”

Yao Hei'er stood up, lowered her eyebrows, and said, "Madam and Miss, they treat me very affectionately and politely, which makes me feel more and more ashamed, and I don't know how to repay the general and Madame's great kindness." ”

Kou Yue hurriedly said: "This is nothing, I have asked General Li for help, and I have taken the household registration book in the city to find out the situation of your aunt's family, the girl just rest assured, I will be able to find relatives for you as soon as possible." After saying this, Kou Yue stared at Yao Hei'er's face carefully.

I saw that Yao Hei'er's face was not shocked, but he thanked himself repeatedly, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did I really think wrong? Such an outstanding woman, well-bred and well-bred, can she be a spy of a neighboring country? When I raised my head to look, I saw Mrs. Kou standing under the porch, looking at herself and Yao Hei'er with a smile, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed in her heart, so she hurriedly arched her hand and walked to the room.

Mrs. Kou followed Kou Yue into the room, still just looking at Kou Yue, smiling silently.

Kou Yue noticed that there was a faint strange aura in the air, and he was busy looking for words: "Madam, where is Yu Niang?" ”

Mrs. Kou stared at Kou Yue, paced back and forth twice, and said slowly: "You father, don't you know?" At this time, Yu Niang is naturally playing in the back garden. ”

Kou Yue was stared at uncomfortably, and said curtly: "What's wrong with you today, just stare at me?" ”

Mrs. Kou pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the door again, looked into the courtyard, and ordered the girls to go out, Fang turned around and said: "Master, this woman you brought back, I have interrogated for you to understand, she was divorced by her husband's family, and her mother's property was occupied by the same sect, and she was helpless at this time." We have been married for many years and only have one daughter, so why don't we take a house for you, maybe I can give you a son, how about it? ”

Kou Yue was startled, his hand shook, and before he knew it, he spilled the tea in his hand on his body, and said busily: "You are getting more and more nonsense!" Do you know who she is? Do you want to collect the house for me? ”

Mrs. Kou listened to what her husband said solemnly, and regardless of wiping the tea stains on her husband's body, she sat down and said, "Who is she?" ”

Kou Yue had no choice but to get up by himself, took a towel, and wiped the tea stains on his body while saying, "Do you think she looks like an ordinary woman?" ”

Mrs. Kou said: "I have already asked about this, her family was originally a big family, because she was the only daughter, and she was divorced by her husband's family, so her mother's family could not tolerate her, and her father and mother were gone, so she was usurped by the same clan." It's nothing! ”

Kou Yue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this situation was something he didn't know before, if he said so, she had a noble temperament, but she was outcast, but it was reasonable. Could it be that I really misunderstood? Seeing that the lady was staring at her tightly, waiting for an answer, she had to say, "I have asked the general to send someone to check the situation of her aunt's house, and when I find out, everything will be understood, and I will talk about it later." ”

Mrs. Kou said with a smile: "If it is found out, it will naturally be the best, even if you take the house, you will have a family member who will make the decision for her." ”

Kou Yue's heart moved, and he hurriedly reprimanded: "What did you say? I have you and Yu Niang, and that's enough! Don't talk nonsense! ”

Yu Niang's delicate and cheerful voice came from the courtyard: "Aunt Yao, you see how beautiful this flower is, can you embroider it on a handkerchief for me?" ”

Kou Yue looked at Mrs. Kou suspiciously, Mrs. Kou smiled, and said: "You don't know, this woman is good at embroidery, I originally taught Yu Niang embroidery, she pointed out twice next to her, and it was very different." Yu Niang immediately didn't want me to be a mother, pestered Miss Yao to teach her, and it was easy to drive her to the garden, and here it is again. ”

Saying that, he opened the door and came out, shouting: "Yu Niang, Aunt Yao has an injury on her arm, I will embroider it for you after a few days, don't mess around with it!" ”

Kou Yu pouted, let out an unhappy "oh", and heard Yao Hei'er smile again: "Madam, it's okay, it's rare that Miss can afford me, my injury is on the left, don't delay the right hand to do things." ”

Listening to a few people discussing embroidery in the courtyard, Kou Yue's mind became more and more confused, what is the origin of this strange woman? What did she run to the border for? Listen to her accent...... By the way, where is she from? All the while, I forgot to ask. But it doesn't seem to be Hu Guoren......

After lunch, Kou Yue took a nap, went to the study to read the military book for a while, and sat on the chair unconsciously, and started to be stunned again.

A small guy sent a bowl of new tea in, and when he took away the old tea bowl, he accidentally touched a folding fan on the table to the ground, and there was a "pop" sound, which startled Kou Yue jumped up from the chair, pointed at the little guy and scolded: "Ramming!" What else can you do to do such a small thing? ”

The little guy was scolded and confused, and hurriedly knelt down. Kou Yue suddenly realized his gaffe! Cease! Cease! Anyway, it's fine, it's better to go to Lord Tang and see how they checked.

After thinking about it, he said to the little guy with a pleasant face: "That's it!" Get up. Just be careful in the future. ”

The little guy was scolded in a daze, and was let go in a daze, and looked at the old man in a daze without saying a word, and turned around and went out.

When he came to the general's mansion at the edge of the town, Kou Yue did not go to Li Sui, but came directly to Tang Ji.

In Tang Ji's office, it was a mess, with scattered household registration books everywhere, and more than 20 small officials were on the table, turning through them vigorously. Tang Ji was beside him, continuing to shake the goose feather fan unhurriedly.

This office is very spacious, the windows are wide open on all sides, it is the weather in late March, and Jiyan City is on the northern border, in fact, it is not hot at all.

Tang Ji saw Kou Yue walk in, stood up unhurriedly, arched his hand, and said, "Ah! General Cole! Bow down! ”

Kou Yue returned the salute and said with a smile: "Lord Tang, is it so hot?" The goose feather fan is always in hand all year round. ”

Tang Ji shook the fan again and said with a smile: "This General Kou doesn't understand, he is the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, and this goose feather fan is proof!" The goose feather fan shakes, and the wisdom surges! ”

Kou Yue snatched the goose feather fan from Tang Ji's hand, deliberately looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Lord Tang's fan was bought by his family at the Chengxi Market, right?" Your family said that this goose feather fan cost ten yuan, and you also said that people must be greedy for the benefits of three yuan. ”

Those little officials who were carefully looking through the books couldn't help but laugh when they heard these two people arguing.

Tang Ji was not in a hurry or annoyed, taking advantage of Kou Yue's defense, he snatched the goose feather fan again, and said with a smile: "This is the benefit of the goose feather fan, even the family is greedy for three cents, I can know, what else do I not know?" General Kou, if you say more, I won't investigate, let you be in a hurry! ”

Kou Yue was said to be in his mind, but he didn't admit it: "Where am I in a hurry?" It's just a woman, can she still turn the sky upside down? ”

Tang Ji pointed at Kou Yue with a goose feather fan and laughed: "Not in a hurry? What are you doing running over here so early? You didn't like me here the most, saying that they were all sour, and it wasn't the general who forced you to come to find the documents, and you refused to come again. Could it be that the general forced you to do this too? ”

Kou Yue knew that he couldn't fight Tang Ji in his bickering, so he had to admit defeat, because he smiled and said: "Since Lord Tang knows that I am anxious, I want to ask, how is the investigation?" ”

Tang Ji picked up the tea on the table, took a sip unhurriedly, and said, "This family surnamed Yang is not many in our Jiyan City, and now more than 20 households have been found, all of which do not meet the situation you said." Considering that the woman might not remember accurately, I have ordered someone to go to these people's homes to inquire about them, and I will reply in a moment. He said to the busy officials: "But there is still a newly found family surnamed Yang?" ”

A small official said: "My lord, I didn't find that this surnamed Yang is concentrated in the south of the city, and it was originally from a family, and the adult just ordered someone to interrogate." Now there are only twenty or thirty household registrations left that have not been checked......" shook his head again, and said, "In my opinion, there will probably be no more." ”

Kou Yue's heart jumped suddenly, he had already vaguely felt that this woman was telling a lie, but why did she tell a lie?
