Coming to the door of Li Tiezhu's house again, Xie Jinlan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After hearing the echo in the room, he quickly put on a smiling face.

When Zhang saw Xie Jinlan who had gone and returned, he couldn't help but wonder a little: "Jin Lan? Is there anything else going on with you? ”

Immediately, she didn't know what she thought, and looked at Xie Jinlan's eyes suddenly a little unkind: This kid, should he think that after signing the note, he can come to eat and drink, right?

Xie Jinlan only couldn't see Zhang's unwelcoming attitude, and scratched his head a little shyly: "Auntie, is the little girl there?" I have something to say to her. ”

When Zhang's face heard this, his face instantly turned from cloudy to clear: "You are looking for Xiaoya, she and Tiegen and his wife went to the field to cut rice, you go there to find her." ”

Xie Jinlan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie." ”

Zhang asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

Xie Jinlan smiled and shook his head: "No." ”

Zhang's smiled and gave an eviction order: "Since you are here to find Xiaoya, then the aunt will not keep you, hurry up." ”

Seeing Xie Jinlan's figure coming from afar, Li Tiegen's eyes were suddenly full of surprise. Then he closed his eyes and shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was not dazzled by the wrong person.

When Xie Jinlan approached, Li Tiegen instantly stood up: "Jin Lan? What's the matter, I want to pick dates and eat them again today? ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head embarrassedly, pointed to Li Xiaoya, who was bending over to cut rice, and said, "I have something to find Xiaoya." ”

Li Tiegen was stunned: "Little girl? ”

Xie Jinlan took out the two copper plates that had been prepared from his sleeve, quietly stuffed them into Li Tiegen's hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tiegen, I won't delay your time in vain, these two coins can be regarded as my compensation." ”

Li Tiegen quickly stuffed the copper plate into his arms, and instantly smiled: "Isn't it just a few words?" No problem! ”

As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "Little girl, come here quickly!" ”

Li Xiaoya made a movement in her hand, first glanced in the direction of Li Tiegen, and then timidly glanced at the Lin family not far away.

Li Tiegen hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at the Lin family.

Lin Shi looked at Li Tiegen, then at Xie Jinlan beside him, and finally seemed to understand something, and glared at Li Xiaoya fiercely: "What are you doing here?" Your uncle called you, why don't you hurry over? ”

Li Xiaoya put down the sickle in her hand silently, lowered her head and walked in the direction of Li Tiegen.

Xie Jinlan looked at Li Tiegen with some embarrassment: "Brother Tiegen, I want to say a few words to Xiaoya alone, is it okay?" ”

Li Tiegen was slightly stunned, and then responded with a smile.

It wasn't until Li Tiegen walked to Lin's side and sat down that Xie Jinlan retracted his gaze, squatted down, and looked at Li Xiaoya with his head lowered with a gentle expression: "Xiaoya, do you know who I am?" ”

Li Xiaoya didn't raise her head, and nodded hesitantly.

Xie Jinlan didn't mind her attitude, and asked in a low voice: "Little girl, are you willing to leave Lijia Village with me?" ”

Li Xiaoya quietly raised her eyes, and after meeting Xie Jinlan's gaze, she lowered her head in panic.

Xie Jinlan then asked softly: "Little girl, are you willing?" ”

"Really...... Can it really be? ”

Li Xiaoya's voice was inaudible, and if she didn't listen carefully, she wouldn't know what she had just spoken.

Xie Jinlan heard her words clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course you can." Then he lowered his voice: "I'll tell you a secret, you must not tell it." ”

Li Xiaoya glanced at Xie Jinlan timidly, then lowered her head and nodded lightly.

Xie Jinlan whispered: "I have already told your grandmother that after a while, you will leave here with me." ”

Li Xiaoya shook her head.

Xie Jinlan was quite puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is Xiaoya unwilling to leave her family? ”

Li Xiaoya shook her head again, her voice was like a mosquito: "You lie to me, grandma won't let me go." ”

Xie Jinlan comforted softly: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with your grandmother, as long as I can take out two taels of silver at that time, she will let you go with me." ”

Li Xiaoya was silent for a moment. After a while, she raised her head, looked straight at Xie Jinlan, and nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Xie Jinlan stood up and patted Li Xiaoya's little head gently.

At the same time, he looked at Li Xiaoya's little hands full of scars and mud without a trace, as well as the tattered cloth shoes on her feet that had long been unrecognizable.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, when they walked to no one's place, Xie Jinlan's face suddenly turned cold.

No need to ask, judging from Ruan Yezhen's shocked eyes as soon as she heard Li Xiaoya speak, and her expression that was still in a trance until now, the murderer must be Li Xiaoya.

Xie Jinlan did not delay, went directly out of the village, chartered an ox cart and drove to the town.

When he arrived near the county office, after Xie Jinlan gave the strong man the reward he deserved, he hurried to the county office.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at the gate, he was stopped by the catchers on the left and right: "Who is coming!" ”

Xie Jinlan's eyebrows twisted slightly, and then he remembered something, took out a token from his arms, and put it in front of the two of them.

The two of them stepped forward to take a look, and after recognizing what it was, they were shocked.

One of them said, "Who are you?" Why is there a token of our Lord Xie? ”

At this moment, Master Chen walked from the yamen.

Seeing the young man who was stopped by the two arresters, he suddenly looked surprised, and walked quickly to the three of them: "My lord? ”

When the two catchers heard this, they looked at each other in disbelief, and then hurriedly bowed to Xie Jinlan: "I have seen Master Xie in my humble position." ”

Xie Jinlan responded casually, and then looked at Master Chen: "Master Chen, I have something important to look for you." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the yamani.

Chen Zhushu followed.

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that the two catchers at the door whispered:

"That's our county magistrate, Lord Xie? I've only seen it once or twice, but I remember that adults don't have such dark faces, do they? ”

"I think so too. Look at those eyebrows, are the eyebrows of adults so thick? ”

"What's even stranger is that the adults are dressed in such coarse linen."

"What the hell did you do? How did you end up like this? ”

......

Entering the inner courtyard, at the arch, Xie Jin suddenly stopped and turned to face Master Chen.

He didn't say superfluous nonsense, and ordered straight to the point: "Immediately arrest Li Tiezhu's daughter Li Xiaoya and bring her to justice!" ”

Master Chen was taken aback, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Li Xiaoya, but that thin little girl from Li Bao'er's family?" ”
