finish

Lu Xiyi knew that Ah Leng would not sell Guan Zi for no reason, so he and Xiaomeng went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

On the second day, Lu Xiyi got up and went to the workshop to make wine as usual. The fire was raised, and Ah Leng came.

Lu Xiyi saw that Ah Leng had dark circles under his eyes, and felt sorry for him: "You went out to get the antidote last night, you must be very tired, it is better to go back and sleep for a while, I have no problem chopping firewood by myself." ”

Ah Leng rubbed his eyes and cheered up: "Do you look at me, like tired?" ”

"But......" Lu Xiyi still wanted to say that he had dark circles under his eyes, but before the words came to his lips, Ah Leng had already picked up an axe to chop wood.

Lu Xiyi shook his head and concentrated on making wine.

"After brewing the wine, you can go to the county government with me." Ah Leng said while chopping wood.

"Go to the county office?" Lu Xiyi frowned, and when she saw the hideous torture tools in the county office, she couldn't be happy. "What are you going to do at the county office?"

"You'll know when you go." Ah Leng added, "Remember to bring silver taels." ”

After brewing the wine, the two of them each rode horses and came to the county office. Ah Leng asked the official to inform the county magistrate, and said that they would meet him alone.

The official brought Ah Leng's words, and the county magistrate pinched his chin and pondered: They just brought down Shen Sizhuo for Xiaoyao Wine, what are they doing here? In fact, bringing down Shen Sizhuo is not good for the county master. In the past, Shen Sizhuo didn't give him a lot of silver, if it weren't for the tribute wine, he wouldn't be willing to cut down such a cash cow. Therefore, he hated the people in Xiaoyao Wine Shop in his heart, especially Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng.

However, since they are all friends of Liu Ji, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, then see them.

"Go, lead them to the back garden."

The county magistrate is carrying a white iron birdcage, and the water cup in the birdcage is gold-clad and bright, and the cover of the birdcage is also a precious Shu brocade. The birds in this cage live a much better life than ordinary Liuzhou citizens.

When Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng came to the back garden, they saw the county magistrate hanging the bird cage on a willow tree and whistling at the birds. The birds are jumping and chirping in the cage, and the sound is crisp and pleasant, but it is beautiful.

"Back to the master, Boss Lu and Leng Shaoxia of Xiaoyao Wine Workshop will bring it."

The county magistrate didn't look at the yasan and Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng at all, but with a sound in his throat, the yasan withdrew.

Lu Xiyi saw that this was the county magistrate who was giving them a horse, so he glanced at Ah Leng, and was a little annoyed: Early in the morning, come here to eat!

Ah Leng stepped forward: "County master, you are so idle!" ”

The county magistrate snorted coldly and understated: "Without you, I am more idle." Although the words were small, Ah Leng and Lu Xiyi heard them.

Ah Leng understood what the county lord meant, and immediately lifted the money bag in his hand, and swayed it, and the silver made a familiar and pleasant sound, which attracted the county lord more than the bird's cry.

"This ......" The county magistrate's eyes lit up, looking at Ah Leng, pointing to the money bag.

Lu Xiyi also wanted to know what kind of reputation Ah Leng was doing. Didn't Shen Sizhuo already put Shen Sizhuo in prison, and came to give the county master silver at this time, is it to thank you? In Lu Xiyi's opinion, this county master is not a good thing, and he can't afford to give him silver.

Ah Leng got straight to the point: "Master, we came this time to want you to let Shen Sizhuo go." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the county master, but also Lu Xiyi's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah Leng, you ......"

Ah Leng smiled kindly at Lu Xiyi and signaled her not to worry, and listened to him and the county master talk slowly.

The county magistrate stroked his beard and pondered: What kind of reputation is this Ah Leng? For a while, you want me to arrest Shen Sizhuo, and for a while, you want me to release people, inconsistent, what about playing with me? Could it be that he is testing me to have any money with the surname Shen?

The county magistrate coughed twice, and his face was stern: "This Shen Sizhuo has done all the bad things, and recently he has tried to pollute the tribute wine, I am writing a recital and sending it to the capital, so that the people from the criminal department can try him, why do you want to intercede for him?" Could it be that you're in the same league as him? ”

The county master is also too hypocritical, others don't know, doesn't Ah Leng know the ambiguity between him and Shen Sizhuo?

Ah Leng sneered: "If Shen Sizhuo goes to the Criminal Department, it will not be good for you." As he spoke, Ah Leng glanced at Lu Xiyi.

Lu Xiyi frowned, and he didn't understand what Ah Leng was doing.

The county master's face was even more gloomy, and his voice was hoarse: "Hmph, I don't understand what you're talking about!" Believe it or not, I'm going to have you taken down right now and punish you for bribery of officials? ”

"Did you take fewer bribes?" Ah Sneered was so confident and frank, and it made the county master even more dirty and dark.

The county magistrate had already understood at this time that if Shen Sizhuo revealed their money transactions in the Criminal Department, his black gauze hat would not be able to keep it.

A cold wind rushed up from the backbone of the county magistrate, cold to the bone marrow.

But it's also strange that the back is cold, and beads of sweat appear on the forehead of the county magistrate. He wiped it unconsciously.

"What the hell do you want to do?" The county magistrate stared sharply at Ah Leng.

Ah Leng shook the money bag again: "Listen to me, take the money, and then let Shen Sizhuo go, it's that simple." ”

The county magistrate stroked his mustache again, exhaled, and smiled: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful!" ”

has money to make, and can put his own cash cow, what can't the county master do! However, Ah Leng and Lu Xiyi know too many things about him, and one day, he will find a way to deal with them.

On the way back, Lu Xiyi's face was ugly. Ah Leng knew what she was angry about.

"There's a noodle restaurant there, and the shredded pork noodles are delicious, would you like to try them?"

Lu Xiyi squinted his eyes and looked at Ah Leng: "Don't eat." ”

"We haven't eaten anything until now, aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, I'm full, what are you hungry!"

"Phew!" Ah Leng reined in the two horses, jumped down, and shouted to the second child of the noodle shop, "Take our horses away, good food to serve!" ”

The shopkeeper bowed and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Boss Lu and Leng Shao from Xiaoyao Wine!" Please inside, another day, the boss of Lu will also brew a few jars of wine for our noodle restaurant, so as to greet the guests! ”

Lu Xiyi was angry with Ah Leng, but he smiled at his customers: "As long as you say, I will send it over tomorrow." ”

The shopkeeper led the horse to the back to feed the forage. The owner of the noodle shop came out and smiled: "What do you eat?" ”

Ah Leng pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the wall: "Just eat your best shredded meat noodles and have two bowls!" By the way, one bowl is spicy, and one bowl is not spicy! ”

Fortunately, Ah Leng remembered that Lu Xiyi didn't eat chili peppers, and the anger in Lu Xiyi's stomach disappeared a little.

After a while, two bowls of noodles were served, steaming, and Ah Leng's bowl was red with fried chili peppers.

"Let's eat!" Ah Leng handed Lu Xiyi chopsticks.

Lu Xiyi turned his face away, and looked loyal and unyielding: "Don't eat." ”

Ah sneered: "Then I said the reason, do you want to eat it?" ”

"You say!" Lu Xiyi was puffed up.
