"But you haven't done what the king told you before, and now you don't allow capable people to do it?" Li Lin shrugged his shoulders indifferently, deliberately laughed cheaply, and said, "Lord Wang, this is a thief!" The thief who wants to kidnap the county lord's child, but you don't pay attention to it at all, how can the king rest assured that he will leave the follow-up to you to do? Do you say? ”

Saying that, Li Lin slowly walked up to Chu Yu, raised his neck, his attitude was frivolous and disdainful, and he said: "Lord Wang, you have already betrayed the king's trust, and now you want to disappoint the king again?" ”

"I... I'm not! Chu Yu's quibbles were pale for no reason.

Li Lin was even more proud when he saw this, and the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't hide it, so he almost pointed at Chu Yu's nose and laughed at him on the spot.

Seeing that Li Lin's behavior was becoming more and more out of line, Wang Shang interrupted the conversation between the two in time, and said: "Chu Yu, you have been working hard day and night during this time, let's have a good rest these days, and as for the rest of the things, let Li Lin be busy." ”

After speaking, Wang Shangwu turned around and left, drove back to the palace, and didn't even give Chu Yu time to justify.

As soon as the king left, the atmosphere at the scene became deadlocked, but unfortunately so many people heard the king's words at that time, and two-thirds of the guards present were brought by Li Lin, so Chu Yu had to leave with a black face.

The person who was in the way walked away, Li Lin immediately regained his smiling appearance, he walked up to Xiao Man's side and said, "County Lord, are you convenient now?" I have a lot more to tell you. ”

"Okay, let's go to the study in the mansion to talk, it just so happens that I also have a lot of things I want to ask Master Li."

In order to sit down and discuss as soon as possible, Xiao Man specially took Li Lin to copy the path, came in through the corner door of the kitchen in Fuzhong, and then took Li Lin all the way to the direction of the study.

I didn't want to just come in through the corner gate, and Xiao Man and his party bumped into Xiao Qi head-on.

"Huh? Aren't you supposed to be in the suburbs? Xiao Man was a little surprised, she frowned, "Xiao Qi, why are you back?" Is there something going on in the suburbs? ”

The bandits chose to act today, could it be that someone still went to the suburbs to leave there?

Just when Xiao Man was worried about Lu Li, Xiao Qi scratched his head and smiled shyly, he explained: "Madam, I'm just here to deliver something, it's okay in the suburbs, don't worry,"

"What to send?" Xiaoman asked.

didn't think about it, when Xiao Qi was twisting and refusing to speak, Xiao Man suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in the pavilion in the distance, wearing a goose-yellow placket jacket, limping walking posture, isn't that jade!

Looking at Xiaoman's direction, I happened to be able to see the small cloth bag in Jade's hand, the cloth bag looked soft, according to Xiaoman's experience, it was very likely that it was filled with clothes.

Things have developed to this point, Xiao Man also understood what Xiao Qi was doing, and while Jade hadn't seen her group yet, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You go to find Jade first, we still have something to do, let's go first." ”

After speaking, Xiao Man hurriedly pulled Pearl and Li Lin away.

Luckily, the place where they had been standing was surrounded by hardy pines and cypresses, so much so that Emerald never noticed their presence.

Jade walked all the way over, hurriedly stuffed the cloth bag in her hand to Xiao Qi, and said: "It's cold these days, and you need to go up the mountain from time to time, but now it's not time to send winter clothes in the house, so you still wear this clothes." ”

In fact, the dress she just made is not thick, but it is better than the clothes that Xiao Qi is wearing now, and she has specially changed this dress to be looser, so that Xiao Qi can wear this dress outside.

Looking at Jade's serious look, Xiao Qi smiled suddenly, he took the cloth bag and nodded very obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"Well, then you should go quickly, or you won't be able to make it to lunch when you go back later." Jade looked at the other party, and even though she was reluctant in her eyes, she still had to persuade the other party to leave as soon as possible.

But Xiao Qi seemed to be frozen in place, staring at the jade for a long time.

Until the little maid on the side covered her mouth and laughed, Jade's cheeks became hotter and hotter, and when she was about to open her mouth again to let the other party leave, Xiao Qihu said seriously: "Jade, when we return to Shangjing, I will go to your house to propose marriage and marry you." ”

Jade's face was flushed, she was happy and ashamed, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only watch Xiao Qi leave.

In the end, it was the maid on the side who reminded Jade to wake up and hurriedly covered her red cheeks and went back to the house.

And Xiao Man, who had pulled Li Lin and Pearl away before, also happened to talk about the marriage of Xiao Qi and Jade.

She said: "Now that the matter of the bandits is almost settled, everything is going well on Lu Li's side, and when the weather is warmer, the greenhouse side will be able to start re-experimenting, and I think it is not far from the day when we go home." ”

"County Lord, in fact, if you want to handle the marriage of the two of them, it is not impossible to be in Bei'an." Li Lin suggested.

According to his observation just now, the couple clearly looked like they had been together for a long time, and since they were going to get married sooner or later, it was better to help them handle it at this time, so that the two could be together as soon as possible.

But Xiaoman didn't think so, she said: "Although Jade is my maid, she still has relatives and friends in Beijing, no matter where the marriage is done, I have to ask for the opinions of Jade's family, so it is better to wait until I return to Beijing to do it." ”

Pearl also nodded approvingly: "That's right, the customs of Canglan and Donglan are not the same, come to think of it, Jade and Xiaoqi should also want to get married after returning to Beijing." ”

"You have a point, too." Li Lin smiled, "Marriage is a major event in a lifetime, and it is good to pay attention to it." ”

After talking about the jadeite, Xiao Man and Li Lin began to discuss about today's bandits.

Li Lin told him how he captured the bandits, and then analyzed it again, saying: "I always feel that the bandits' martial arts this time are too low, and there is a big difference between them and the previous group of bandits who made trouble in the greenhouse and the county lord's mansion. ”

In fact, it was all a fluke to be able to catch these bandits today, after all, in the process of Li Lin fighting them, he found that these people were also some three-legged cats, which were completely different from the bandits who had achieved light skills before.

"What does Master Li mean is that the bandits who came out this time are not a group of people before?" Xiao Man frowned and asked.

"That's right, if it weren't for the alley where the bandits in Liquan Mountain were in contact with the outside world, I would have suspected that this time it wasn't the same mountain bandit as before." Li Lin said.

If you want to do it, you should send the most elite and powerful people, but why let these people with such poor martial arts come this time?

Xiao Man tightened her brows, and after being silent for a moment, she suddenly remembered something, she said, "Lord Li, didn't the king want to use this incident to test the prince?" You've been squatting around the county lord's mansion for so long, but what anomaly have you noticed? ”

If the bandits really colluded with Chu Yu, then this time it should be planned by Chu Yu.

Unexpectedly, Li Lin shook his head helplessly, and said: "No, Chu Yu'an has been very divided during this time, patrolling around the county lord's mansion all day long, looking very serious, and he can't make a mistake at all." ”

"He hasn't been out of town these days? Didn't go to the alley where the bandits gave orders? Xiaoman asked.

Li Lin shook his head, and his face fell silent with a solemn face.

Seeing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but ask with a worried face: "Master Li, you said, did the prince know something?" That's why ......"

Otherwise, it was Li Lin and Wang Shang who misunderstood Chu Yu before, otherwise, there would only be this possibility that Xiao Man said.

But that day, Li Lin saw with his own eyes that it was the bandit on Liquan Mountain who was talking to Chu Yu, and everyone in the palace had a very strict mouth, not to mention that Chu Yu had been on the periphery of the county lord's mansion during this time, and he had never entered the palace at all, nor had he come into contact with any suspicious characters, so there were no above two possibilities at all.

"Probably not." Li Lin frowned, and analyzed with a serious face: "If this prince really doesn't have a ghost in his heart, then what is he doing today vying for the power to interrogate the bandits?" To put it bluntly, he was still afraid that the thieves would confess him. ”

Speaking of this, Li Lin couldn't help but get up and said, "County Lord, I have already said the same thing, and now I have to go to the prison cell as soon as possible, and what kind of reputation will Chu Yu make in the province." ”

After all, now he can only learn from the mouths of the bandits.

"Okay, then I'll send you out." As he spoke, Xiao Man got up and was about to take the other party away.

But before he reached the door, Li Lin refused, "County Lord, you better stay in the mansion, now that the first batch of thieves have been arrested, the Liquan Mountain side must have already gotten the news, and in the next few days, you still can't be too relaxed." ”

"Okay, thank you, Master Li."

Xiao Man nodded, turned around and was about to walk back, but before she had taken two steps, she suddenly remembered that she was going to buy a store and open a store, so she had to stop Li Lin again.

With the help of Pearl, Xiao Man approached with some embarrassment and said, "Lord Li, until the weather warms up again, the greenhouse has to be idle all the time, so I'm thinking of opening a shop in the city, you-"

"Oh, is the county lord trying to borrow money?" Li Lin hurriedly asked.

Xiao Man hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I just want to ask Master Li, which is the cheapest shop in Bei'an City, I want to see if there is a shop that can be rented." ”

Her friendship with Li Lin is not deep, not to mention that it is a little difficult to deliberately find a remote place to open a store, but it is inconvenient to go out of the house at the moment, and Xiaoman can only ask Li Lin.

"Cheap shops?" Li Lin was a little puzzled, "You know, the cheap shops are all in particularly remote places, and the county mainly opens stores, shouldn't you look for shops in the most lively streets?" ”
