Just as Mo Li was thinking of a way, the sound of weapons striking faintly sounded outside, Ruoping jumped down from the chair, pushed Mo Li down on the kang, sat on the edge of the kang himself, and listened vigilantly to the movement outside.

"Ruoping, your problem of disagreeing and pushing it down has to be changed." Mo Li gritted his teeth with a black line.

"Don't make a sound!" Ruoping let out a low sigh and pushed Mo Li into the kang again.

Mo Li almost wanted to hit the wall, but after a while, he was disgusted by the maid twice.

The sounds of fighting outside grew clearer, accompanied by shouts and wails. Mo Li's heart instantly tightened, and he grabbed Ruoping's shirt: "Will my brother be in danger?" ”

"Don't worry, Lord Qincha is not a wasted name, and there are naturally many masters around him." If he said indifferently.

After about half an hour, the hustle and bustle outside the house gradually subsided, and a rush of footsteps came from far and near, stopping in front of the door, and then Qingxuan said outside: "Is the eldest lady okay?" I was sent to take a look. ”

Mo Li hurriedly pushed Ruoping off the kang, jumped to the door at once, and asked when he opened the door, "Where is my brother?" Are there any injuries? ”

"Your Excellency, the captured Assassin is being interrogated. The master asked the little one to tell the eldest lady to rest earlier. Seeing that Mo Li was indeed safe and sound, Qing Xuan hugged his fists and prepared to retire.

"What about the others?" Mo Li grabbed Qingxuan's sleeve and asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, the eldest lady has a few injured and is not worried about their lives. If the eldest lady has nothing else to do, the younger one will retire first. ”

Mo Li nodded and let go of Qing Xuan's sleeve.

In the early morning of the next day, Mo Li hurriedly went to find Mo Jinhua after washing.

"I knew that Xi'er would definitely come over early." Mo Jinhua put down the file in his hand and said straight to the point, "Yesterday, not long after Lao Jin left Chunmanlou, someone went to inform the shopkeeper under my banner that we brought our own cook, so there was no need to send someone to the post house. ”

Mo Li raised her eyebrows: "It seems that the other party really understands us, and Mama Li can be regarded as our cook." That bag of star anise is the bag that was adjusted by two fake cooks, right? ”

"Exactly." Mo Jinhua nodded, "Those two people knew that we wouldn't use the cook outside, so they dropped the anise on the way. When the poison broke out in the evening, they sent men to infiltrate the inn and prepare to wipe us out. But I don't want to be caught in the urn by us. ”

"Do you know who the assassin is?" Mo Li asked.

Mo Jinhua's face sank: "This group of people is a group of bandits on the rivers and lakes, employed by someone in the capital. As for who it is, Xi'er don't ask, don't worry about it if you're a girl. ”

Mo Li wanted to ask if it was related to her father's death, but she swallowed back when the words came to her mouth, she knew these things from Murong Chu, if she asked rashly, it would not be good, and she didn't know how much Mo Jinhua knew about this matter, and what her plans were, so let's wait until I discuss it with Murong Chu in the future.

"Brother, what did they do with the stupid big guy who robbed the road yesterday? You're not going to keep throwing them out of town, are you? Mo Li suddenly remembered the gang of bandits and asked with a smile.

Mo Jinhua waved his hand: "Xi'er treats his brother as a fool, so he can't keep throwing it outside the city." It was found out yesterday evening, and what they said was true, and they had asked people to find a place to settle for the time being. I have ordered someone to inform the prefectural order to come to the inn after breakfast. ”

Such a big and lively one, Mo Li naturally didn't want to miss it, she smiled all over her face: "Brother......"

"Does Xi'er want to join in the fun again?" Mo Jinhua seemed to know what she was thinking, and asked her.

Mo Li nodded hurriedly: "Brother, I promise to be obedient." ”

Mo Jinhua nodded her forehead and said angrily: "You, I don't know what this little head is thinking, I was not interested in these things at all before, and now I can't leave you in everything." ”

"When people grow up, of course they want to know what is going on outside." Mo Li said with a smile, but his heart was a little empty. Of course, he is different from Mo Jinxi, who grew up in the deep boudoir, but listening to Mo Jinhua's meaning, he didn't have any doubts about her change.

Yang Defa, the county magistrate of Zichuan County, was extremely blocked at this time, and the official sent out yesterday did not find any news, and someone came early this morning to spread the word, asking him to go to the post house to see Master Mo after breakfast.

He had a very bad premonition in his heart, he must be lucky and unlucky, where did he still have the heart to use breakfast, let the concubine wait and put on the official uniform and hurried to the post house with the master.

When he arrived at the inn, the guard at the door politely let him in, but the good-looking little guy asked him to wait in the front yard first, on the grounds that Master Mo was accompanying his sister to breakfast, and it was inconvenient to meet him now.

Yang Defa's size is also a county order, usually in this small place where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, where has he received this kind of anger, even if he doesn't see him immediately, he has to let him enter the hall and serve tea. He was just about to have a seizure, but the master quietly pulled his sleeve and signaled him to be calm. Yang Defa could only gasp secretly to calm the dissatisfaction in his heart.

After waiting for about half an hour, I saw a group of people coming from the backyard, and the little guy he had been waiting for before was leading the way in front of him, and a young man in a scarlet official uniform was talking and laughing with a delicate woman.

Yang Defa didn't care too much about the man's appearance, because his eyes were already attracted by the complement embroidered with cloud geese in front of the man, and he was thinking about which of the four civil officials in the capital was surnamed Mo. Suddenly, he kept looking at the master in horror, and the master seemed to remember something, with the same frightened expression.

The group approached slowly, Yang Defa's legs were weak, and he knelt by the door of the hall with a pop, thinking about how to speak, Mo Jinhua had already walked in front of him, and he didn't even give him the master who was also kneeling and trembling behind him, as if the two people on the ground were air. But the little girl, with her smiling eyes, looked at him meaningfully, as if telling him to ask for more blessings.

Mo Jinhua sat down in the hall, and Mo Li naturally sat on the side again, and then Qingxuan came out, stood at the door and coughed lightly: "Lord Yang, please come inside." ”

Yang Defa entered the hall tremblingly under the support of his master, knelt down in the middle of the hall again, and kowtowed upward: "Xiaguanzichuan County ordered Yang Defa to see Master Mo." ”

I didn't hear an echo for a long time, and just when Yang Defa couldn't hold on, a moist voice came from above his head: "Lord Yang is exempt." ”

Yang Defa couldn't get up, and the master didn't dare to move, so he had no one to support him, so he could only stabilize his mind and get up by himself, and said, "I don't know what happened when Lord Mo passed down the officials?" Since the other party did not identify himself, he didn't dare to ask casually, so he could only pretend not to know.
