I have to say that the prefect's efficiency is still very fast, on the day of transporting the thief's body back, their people found him in the village next door to the county Cheng's hometown, relatively speaking, the county is relatively obedient, so he was escorted back to the county government without much suffering.

The prefect dealt with the county governor by dividing it by two, taking back all the fat and ointment he had looted and embezzled for more than a year, and letting the county magistrate in the county temporarily take charge of all the affairs of the county governor, so he hurried back to discuss the affairs of the next county minister.

Lu Li was quite satisfied with the result, so he didn't have much to do.

Seeing that the departure date agreed by the two was getting closer and closer, and Su Xiaoling stubbornly refused to repay the money, and was still making trouble with Zhang Xiuqin, the two decided to solve the matter as soon as possible and take a dose of fierce medicine, so that Su Xiaoling knew that it was powerful.

Therefore, early in the morning of this day, Lu Li and Xiaoman split into two routes, one went to Su's house, and the other went directly to Taoyuan County.

In fact, the thing that Xiaoman can't understand the most these days is not why Su Xiaoling stubbornly refuses to pay back the money, let alone why Su Xiaoling thinks that Su Qi is biased towards herself, but what kind of Gu Su Xiaoling has played, she actually said that she moved Zhang Xiuqin, who had a lot of trouble with her because of this matter before, and also allowed her to do things for herself without regrets.

Even if it's a biological mother, it doesn't come to this point, right?

"Daddy!" Xiao Man pushed open the wooden door of Su's house and shouted happily into the house.

Soon, the curtain of the north room was lifted, and Su Qi walked out with a smile, "Xiaoman, why did you come so early and have you had breakfast?" ”

The two chattered and greeted each other a few words, and immediately, Xiao Man explained his intention straight to the point, "Dad, Lu Li and I have already discussed, even if Xiao Ling doesn't pay for it, then we have to buy you a house, and by the way, we will add a few people to serve you." It's not too early, we have to go back as soon as possible, this matter can't be delayed any longer. ”

"That's... Then what do you mean......" Su Qi was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Xiao Man raised his lips and smiled, held Su Qi's hand, and said with a smile: "Dad, let's go to Taoyuan County today, take a look at these houses, see if there is anything you like, let's buy it today." ”

Su Qi was stunned again, looking at Xiao Man as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Man secretly thought to himself: Could it be that his father has also changed his mind? Could it be that Xiaoling coaxed her father over?

No, according to Xiaoling's idea, shouldn't she persuade her father to buy a house as soon as possible? How can you still persuade him not to buy it?

"Xiaoman."

Su Qi finally spoke, Xiao Man hurriedly withdrew from his thoughts, raised his eyes and looked at Su Qi seriously, waiting intently for the other party's next step.

"I've been thinking about this house for the past few days, Xiaoman, according to me, otherwise we won't buy this house, and save trouble in the future, what do you say?" Su Qi held Xiao Man's hand, his calloused hand patted Xiao Man's hand, and said earnestly: "Look, we haven't bought a house before, and so many things have happened, if we really buy it now, won't it make a bigger deal?" ”

He really didn't have too many intentions for this house, after all, it was just a place to eat and sleep, and it was the same to live in Bishui Village.

Xiao Man let out a long sigh when she heard this, and lowered her shoulders weakly, she suddenly felt that all her efforts in these days were in vain, and the problem returned to the original point.

She took a deep breath, cheered up and looked at Lu Li, and raised a soft smile, "Dad, think about it, the deed and title deed of this house are in the hands of me and Lu Li, and there will be absolutely no problems in the future, didn't you agree before?" Why did you suddenly regret it now? Did Xiaoling tell you something? ”

"No, no, no, that's not about Xiaoling." Su Qi waved his hand, lowered his head slightly, he pursed his lips and thought about it, and said, "But this... I think it's comfortable, it's still comfortable to live in Bishui Village. ”

In the end, he couldn't come up with any solid evidence to get Xiaoman to stop the idea of buying a house.

Xiaoman is also very clear about this, she clenched the other party's hand, very solemn: "Dad, how many times have we said that we bought you a house in Taoyuan County, and we don't have to let you live in it." You can live in Bishui Village, or you can live in Taoyuan County, we just give you one more option, you know? ”

"Okay, okay, then do as you say." Su Qi had no choice, he knew that he couldn't say anything about Xiaoman, so he could only compromise on this.

Seeing this, Xiao Man bent his eyes and smiled, "That's right, Dad, I promise you, Xiao Ling will never dare to make any more trouble in the future, you can rest assured that you will live in Taoyuan County." ”

Su Qiyan noticed a trace of abnormality when he heard this, and he realized that Lu Li, who had never left Xiaoman, didn't know where to go today.

He frowned, "What about Lu Li?" What did he do? ”

Xiao Man stuck out his tongue mischievously, and a little cunning flashed in his eyes, "Guess." ”

At that time, in the main hall of Su Xiaoling's house in Taoyuan County, Lu Li leaned on the back of the chair slightly, he held the teacup, slowly played with the teacup lid in his hand with his left hand, and stared at the magnolia pattern on the teacup, looking very leisurely.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the long sword on the table.

"Lu... Lu Li, you, what are you going to do? Zhang Xiuqin protected Xiaoling behind her, her legs trembled, but she still had the courage to ask.

Early this morning, before the store opened, Lu Li arrived at the house with a long sword, when she and Xiaoling were sitting in the dining room eating, the door of the house was not opened, no one knew how Lu Li came in, and he was still holding such a long sword in his hand, it made people feel chills when they looked at it.

said hello in a good voice and served the best tea, but Lu Li never said a word, just sat on the chair and stared at the teacup, ignoring them.

During this period, Zhang Xiuqin said all the soft and hard words, but still did not get any response from Lu Li.

Oh no, I've actually gotten a bit of a response.

Although Lu Li didn't speak at that time, he directly pulled out the long sword, and the long sword glowing with cold light was pulled out of the scabbard with a "swish", almost scaring Zhang Xiuqin and Su Xiaoling into fainting on the spot.

Later, Zhang Xiuqin and Su Xiaoling didn't dare to sit, so they could only hide aside in fear, waiting for Lu Li to tell his intentions.

Lu Li coughed lightly, and immediately blew towards the teacup that was constantly steaming, watching the white heat disperse, he couldn't help but raise a satisfied smile, and then he approached with the teacup, took a sip gently, and let out a satisfied sigh.

After taking a sip of tea, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's really good tea, Su Xiaoling, I didn't expect you to be so poor, but you have such good tea hidden at home." ”

Hearing this, Su Xiaoling swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt that she was in more cold sweat.

It's good, why did Lu Li mention this matter, could it be that he came to ask for an account again?

"Su Xiaoling." Lu Li got up, picked up the long sword on the table casually, the smile on the corner of his mouth had long disappeared, he pondered the time, estimated that Xiao Man and Su Qi should be almost there, so he said directly: "I came here today, not to discuss with you, nor to persuade you, I came to give an ultimatum." ”

Su Xiaoling dodged behind Zhang Xiuqin again, holding her clothes tightly with both hands, her palms were full of beads of sweat, and her bones were white because of excessive force.

In front of such a long and sharp sword, no one can still be as calm as usual, even unreasonable and nonsense.

Lu Li was well aware of this matter, so he specially took out a weapon that he hadn't used for a long time to Su Xiaoling's house, and announced his decision by the way: "You can not pay for it, but none of you want to enter your father-in-law's house, and as for the deed and title deed, don't even think about it." ”

"We're going to buy a house for my father-in-law today, and you don't have to get involved, because this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I'm here to warn you, no one should think of the idea of attacking the house, because Xiaoman and I will take the house deed and title deed directly, if any of you dare to go to the house-" Speaking of this, Lu Li stopped, drew his long sword again, and slashed straight at the flower pot on the side.

The sword aura flashed, mixed with the sound of the wind, and the flower pot fell to the ground in response, and the soil and flower roots scattered all over the ground.

Zhang Xiuqin and Su Xiaoling took a few steps back, their eyes glared at the boss, all of them shivered, cold sweat was dripping down, and the hair on their sideburns was already wet.

Seeing this, Lu Li nodded with satisfaction, he put away his sword, his tone softened a little, and said, "Of course, you can also choose to give out two hundred taels of silver." In this way, you don't have to pay back the money, you can go to this house, you can live, no one dares to stop you, and you can call the servants in the house at will, as for this deed......"

He raised his eyes and raised a kind smile, "The deed is kept by Aunt Zhang, and the title deed is kept by my father-in-law, which is also a way." ”

After speaking, Lu Li looked at the scabbard, and made a pleasant crisp sound of "ding ding-", he smiled again, but this smile did not feel any light, but was more scared and frightened than before, "Choose one of the two, it's very simple, right?" ”

"I... Let's ....." Su Xiaoling tugged at Zhang Xiuqin's clothes, looked at Lu Li nervously, and spoke intermittently: "Discuss... Let's talk about it. ”

Lu Li raised his hand, "It's time for half a cup of tea, please." ”

After half a cup of tea, Su Xiaoman stood up boldly, plucked up the courage and said: "We have discussed, this time I will give the two hundred taels of silver, but the deed must be in my mother's hands, this is no problem, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Man helped Su Qi walk in, "Of course it's no problem." ”

After speaking, she looked sideways at Su Qi and blinked, "Dad, what do you think?" ”
