Li Daniu hesitated a little: "You let me think about it." ”

Xie Jinlan expressed his understanding: "Brother Da Niu, you can also discuss it with Sister Xiaoyu." I'm sure you won't betray me. ”

Li Daniu looked at Xie Jinlan with great emotion: "Jin Lan, no matter whether this thing can be done or not, I owe you a big favor." ”

Then he patted his chest: "If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, I will do my best to help you." ”

Xie Jinlan nodded with a smile, and then said, "Brother Niu, it's not too early." I guess my cousin-in-law is still waiting for my reply, so I won't bother you for now. ”

Li Daniu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "Jin Lan, what are you going to tell my father?" ”

"Tell the ...... the truth"

Catching up with Li Daniu's eyes that were about to fall out, Xie Jinlan spit out the words behind him unhurriedly: "That's absolutely impossible." ”

Li Daniu breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Xie Jinlan fiercely: "Jin Lan, can you not be so angry when you speak?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled disappreliantly: "Brother Da Niu, don't worry, I know what to say to my cousin-in-law and what not to say." ”

Li Da Niu scratched his head innocently: "You tell me first, what will you tell my father." Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the time comes, my father will ask me, and I won't be right with you. ”

Xie Jinlan smiled gently:

"I would tell my cousin-in-law that the reason why Sister Xiaoyu left our house that morning was because of a scoundrel who pestered her at that time.

In order to get out, she had no choice but to ask you for help. As for the events of that night, there is nothing unpleasant, and I will tell you the truth. ”

Li Daniu's face was full of hesitation: "But the county master won't let me say it......"

Xie Jinlan motioned to Li Daniu not to worry:

"In my opinion, the county magistrate's meaning should be to ask you not to tell you about going to the yamen, so as not to startle the snake.

You left in a hurry that night, and you drank some wine, how can you be sure that no one will see you? No one will get it out? What's more, when it comes to you, do you think your cousin-in-law will tell you about it? ”

Only then did Li Daniu let him go suspiciously.

"Knock knock."

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Youcai instantly stood up excitedly.

Mo Yan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, cousin-in-law, you sit well, I'll just open the door." ”

As soon as the door opened, Mo Yan and Xie Jinlan exchanged a look with each other.

Immediately, Mo Yan turned sideways and let Xie Jinlan enter the house, and then closed the door again.

Xie Jinlan smiled and sat on Li Youcai's left: "Cousin-in-law." ”

Mo Yan then sat on Li Youcai's right side.

Li Youcai excitedly pulled Xie Jinlan's right hand, looking a little impatient: "Jin Lan, what did Da Niu say?" ”

Xie Jinlan told Li Youcai what he had said in advance about the string with Li Daniu.

When Li Youcai heard this, he relieved himself.

But when he thought of what Li Daniu did that night, he couldn't help but hammer the table with hatred:

"Da Niu, this bastard boy, is easy to be impulsive when he drinks! There have been no rumors in the village so far, so no one should have seen it. Lucky for this kid! If this thing gets out, I don't think he can tell even if he has three mouths! ”

Before the words fell, Li Youcai coughed heavily again.

Mo Yan hurriedly raised his hand and patted his back gently, and at the same time did not forget to advise: "Cousin-in-law, you speak slowly, don't get excited." ”

Xie Jinlan also persuaded him: "Cousin-in-law, fortunately, nothing happened to Brother Da Niu, and there is no danger." ”

Li Youcai slowly stopped coughing and snorted coldly: "If something really happens to him, my half-dead medicine jar can't help him!" ”

Xie Jinlan looked at him disapprovingly: "Cousin-in-law, don't always say that about yourself." ”

Li Youcai smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Da Niu, this person is too straight-tempered, and he often offends people when he speaks. Until he finds a companion, how can I feel comfortable leaving him alone and just going away? ”

Mo Yan said a lot of witty words, which made Li Youcai's mood a little better.

After helping Li Youcai lie down on the bed and tucking the quilt for him, Mo Yan and Xie Jinlan on the side secretly glanced at each other.

After the two said goodbye to Li Youcai, they left the house and went back to their room......

Looking at Xie Jinlan, who was about to go to bed, Mo Yan really couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart: "My lord, what you just said to Li Youcai is true?" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't stop, and responded casually: "Half-truth." ”

Mo Yan asked again: "Which half is true?" Which half is false? ”

Xie Jinlan sat on the head of the bed, pulled the quilt over his waist, and looked at Mo Yan with a smile: "You look curious?" ”

Mo Yan's heart sank, and he quickly shook his head with a smile: "I'm not curious, I'm not curious, the little one just asked casually." ”

Xie Jinlan nodded noncommittally: "The official is going to sleep, you quickly put out the candle." ”

So saying, he lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over his shoulder, and closed his eyes.

Mo Yan hid the depression in his eyes and answered in a low voice. Then he got up and blew out the candles on the candlestick, and lay down lightly into the makeshift quilt he lay on the ground......

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Daniu hurried out.

Looking at the direction of Li Daniu's departure, Li Youcai muttered in wonder: "Why is this kid in such a hurry today?" ”

Xie Jinlan guessed why Li Daniu was like this.

Soon after Mo Yan and Li Youcai went out, as soon as Xie Jinlan opened the door, he met Master Chen, who was about to knock on the door.

Xie Jinlan was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Master Chen's book has made a new discovery?" ”

Master Chen nodded and said, "Are there any other people at home?" ”

Xie Jinlan turned sideways and let Master Chen enter the house, and then closed the door: "Now I am the only one left in the house." ”

Master Chen bowed to Xie Jinlan and said, "My lord, the spy sent by the lower official to investigate the news from Wang Yuan's house has returned. ”

The casual smile on Xie Jinlan's face was slightly retracted, and then he sat down at the stone table in the courtyard with Master Chen.

Looking at Master Chen's solemn face, Xie Jinlan couldn't help but joke with him: "Master Chen, there is progress in the affairs of Wang Yuan's family, isn't this good news?" Why do you still look like this? ”

Master Chen is still worried:

"My lord, the reason why the hand-copying verandah of Wang Yuanwai's house collapsed was because that day and night, Wang Yuanwai's son Wang Tianci lost his temper and made people smash the pillar.

The reason for this is because Wang Yuanwai accepted the little concubine of the day, Wang Tianci also took a fancy to it some time ago, but his actions were one step later than Wang Yuanwai.

The matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter how arrogant Wang Tianci is on weekdays, he will never touch his father's woman.

The son smashed his own hand-copying verandah for a woman, and if this was spread, it would be a big joke. Wang Yuanwai didn't want to do this, so he kept the matter strictly hidden. It just so happened that there were several thunderbolts that night, and only those who didn't know would guess that it was blown down by thunder.

In this way, what happened to Wang Yuanwai's family has nothing to do with Li Baoer's case, but the timing is just a coincidence. ”
