Although Tao Zhutou has not read many books, he can sit firmly in the position of head catcher, and he is quite reused by Jiang Yingyu, which shows that he is still a little smart.

As for Jiang Xingqi, although he is used to lawlessness on weekdays, he is not brainless.

Since the brocade-clothed man in front of him dares to call himself 'this official', he must have something to rely on. Presumably, he wouldn't lie about such an easily debunkable thing.

In Xinlin County, the officials they have never met, and the people who have no fear of the yamen, are afraid that there are only ......

The two of them who figured it out suddenly gasped in their hearts.

Jiang Xingqi glared at Tao Zhutou fiercely and motioned for him to hurry up and speak.

Tao Zhutou was secretly bitter in his heart, but he pulled out a flattering smile at Xie Jinlan on his face: "My lord, but Lord Xie, the new governor of Lingzhou?" ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and responded lightly.

Tao Zhutou couldn't figure out what Xie Jinlan meant, but he thought that if it was him, he would definitely not reveal it gently. Then he knelt down directly with a 'poof':

"Thank you, Lord forgiveness! It's a humble job with eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai! I didn't recognize the identity of the adult earlier! If you offend an adult during an errand, your lord will not complain despite the punishment! The lord is wise, and he will definitely punish the despicable according to the law! ”

As he spoke, he slapped himself several times.

Listening to the sound of 'popping', people who don't know will only think that Tao Zhutou has no mercy on himself at all, and this slap is too hard.

This is the case with Jiang Xingqi, who has not yet reacted from Tao Zhutou.

But Ruan Yezhen saw it clearly.

Tao Zhutou hung his head slightly, and although there were some red marks on his cheeks, they were not too serious. So his slap should have been skillful, but it was just scary to listen to.

And what he said was also very interesting.

Although he is confessing his sin on the surface, if you listen carefully, the meaning of these words is clearly to say:

I was just doing an errand in accordance with the law before, and I didn't know your identity, and it is understandable that I was offended, and you are so wise and powerful, you will definitely not punish me for this.

If this is an ordinary person, maybe he will go down this staircase. But the person he met was Xie Jinlan......

Ruan Yezhen was thinking like this in her heart, and Xie Jinlan smiled lightly and said, "Tao catcher, right?" Since you have accepted the punishment like this, if the official does not punish you, won't it seem that the official is not wise? ”

Tao Zhutou didn't expect Xie Jinlan to react like this, and was directly stunned.

Xie Jinlan looked directly at Lu Wenming on the side and said, "I wonder if Lord Lu can do this official a favor?" ”

As soon as the words 'Lord Lu' came out, whether it was Jiang Xingqi and Tao Zhutou, or the fast catcher behind them, they were all shocked.

Lu Wenming was dressed shabby, no wonder they couldn't see that he was an official of the imperial court.

Lu Wenming glanced at Jiang Xingqi and Tao Zhutou without a trace, looked at Xie Jinlan and said, "Lord Xie, please speak!" ”

Xie Jinlan's gaze fell on Tao Zhutou who was kneeling on the ground, rubbed his chin slightly, and said, "Tao Zhutou confessed so simply, and the official was lightly punished." ”

Before Tao Zhutou's breath of relief was finished, Xie Jinlan continued: "In this way, I will be responsible for twenty and execute it immediately, and it will be supervised by Lord Lu." ”

Thinking of something, Xie Jinlan casually pointed to a catch: "You go to the store and ask for two thin wooden sticks for the kitchen fire." Remember, the finer the better. ”

Catch quickly subconsciously looked at the Tao catcher in front of him, but unfortunately the Tao catcher was facing away from him at the moment, and he couldn't receive his meaning at all.

Na Zhuhai didn't dare to offend Xie Jinlan, and thought that the thin wooden stick shouldn't hurt too much when hit on his body, and Tao Zhutou shouldn't settle accounts with him, so he answered and left in a hurry.

The kneeling Tao Zhutou also felt that Xie Jinlan was deliberately letting him go, and he was quite happy in his heart.

Only Lu Wenming glanced at Tao Zhutou meaninglessly.

Others don't know, but how can he, who has been in the barracks for five years, not understand?

The thinner the stick, the same force that hits a person's body, will hurt much more than a thick stick.

After such an order, Xie Jinlan did not linger longer, but just said to Lu Wenming: "Don't disturb the people, the government will look for the official later." He left here with Ruan Yezhen.

It's just that Xie Jinlan didn't even give Jiang Xingqi extra glances.

But instead of feeling lucky, Jiang Xingqi felt that there was a knife hanging above his head, and it was really difficult to feel at ease.

Glancing at Lu Wenming standing in the private room, Jiang Xingqi had long lost his arrogance at the beginning, but he couldn't pull his face, and finally flicked his sleeves and turned around and left directly.

The trappers glanced at each other, and eventually three of them chased after them.

This is the most favored young son of the county magistrate, if there is a mistake, they will not be able to eat and walk away.

Although there was a slight movement upstairs to the lobby, everyone didn't know why.

Seeing Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen, who were unscathed, walk out of the private room with the door open. After a while, Jiang Xingqi also left the wine shop, and everyone became more and more curious about what happened in the private room.

On the way back to the county office, Jiang Xingqi remembered that when he went downstairs, those people covered their eyes, and they only felt that their faces were hot.

Thinking that since he was born, Jiang Xingqi has always wanted something, and he has never suffered such a big grievance!

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.

Xie Jinlan has his back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, he can't be offended, but that 'Lord Lu' should have no identity background. Although he has a relationship with Xie Jinlan, if his father opens his mouth to Xie Jinlan, it should not be difficult to teach that person a lesson......

After leaving 'Daughter Xiang', Xie Jinlan did not directly take Ruan Yezhen back to the mansion. Instead, I went to a shop called 'Xiangfang'.

Before entering the door, a faint fragrance came from inside the door, which made people feel refreshed.

Sweeping her eyes into the lobby, Ruan Yezhen knew that this was a spice shop.

In a flash of light, she thought of the candle mixed with lavender juice in Chen Qing's room.

Glancing at Xie Jinlan beside him, Ruan Yezhen said in her heart: Is it related to this?

Most of the people who come to Xiangfang are some ladies and ladies, or the maids in the mansions of some nobles.

At first glance, seeing the two gorgeously dressed young men, the guys were really stunned for a moment, but they quickly came back to their senses.

A guy greeted him with a smile: "The two sons buy spices for their own use?" Or give it to someone else? ”

Xie Jinlan said: "I've not slept well these days, do you have any spices here that can calm your nerves but won't hurt your body?" ”

The man said, "The two sons have come to the right place!" All the spices of our 'incense shop', as long as they are used properly, will definitely not cause any damage to the body! ”
