Chapter Ninety-One: Guard
In the southwest corner of the county seat of Shengtang County, there is a small house. There are three main rooms, two side rooms, and a courtyard of about 10 square meters. In the middle of the courtyard there is a small gazebo with flowers and plants around it. The entire courtyard is surrounded by a wall more than two meters high, and the courtyard gate is just an ordinary wooden door.
In the gazebo, a woman in her twenties was sitting under the gazebo, reading a book intently. This woman has a graceful figure, her eyes are focused, and her black hair is spread out, covering half of her face, which makes people feel even more mysterious and seductive.
"Miss Yao Lan, it's time to eat."
An old man hunched over to the woman's side and called softly. This woman turned out to be Yao Lan, who had been missing for a long time.
Yao Lan hurriedly put away the books and nodded and smiled at the old man. "Uncle Bai, it's my turn to cook tomorrow."
"Uh, yes." The old man couldn't help but pout, as if remembering some painful memory. "Miss Yao Lan is a daughter, these rough jobs are tiring..."
When Yao Lan heard this, her face turned gloomy for a while, and then she regained her smile. "Uncle Bai, we've all agreed. I know I don't make it delicious, you can teach me a few more times..."
"Miss Yao Lan's cooking couldn't be more delicious." Bai Bo hurriedly interrupted. "I really hope that I can always eat the food cooked by Miss Yao Lan."
Hearing this, Yao Lan jumped up like a little girl. "Hmm. If Bai Bo is willing, I really wish it could be..."Yao Lan seemed to remember something again when she said this, and subconsciously stopped. "Uncle Bai, let's go eat."
"Hmm."
Yao Lan walked down the pavilion and walked towards the main room. Yao Lan was dressed in coarse cloth, but she still couldn't hide her delicate figure, let alone her elegant temperament.
Bai Bo stood behind, looking at Yao Lan's figure, his eyes showed a look of love that only lovers have, and his body slowly stood up straight.
A light breeze blew, and Yao Lan's hair was blown apart, revealing her handsome eyes and a shocking huge scar on the right side of her face. However, at this time, she has a little less resentment, and a little more relaxation and comfort that only a girl has, but it makes people feel a lot more energetic.
Bai Bo stared at Yao Lan stupidly like this, and didn't withdraw his gaze until she entered the room, but his eyes were still full of unfinished reluctance and love.
At this time, a head protruded from the courtyard wall opposite the main house, but after seeing Bai Bo, he immediately retracted again.
Bai Bo turned around, hesitated for a while, and wanted to walk towards the courtyard gate, but Yao Lan's call sounded behind him. "Uncle Bai, come and eat."
"Oh." Bai Bo hurriedly turned around and walked towards the main room, and the cold light in his eyes flashed.
………
Li You sat in front of the bookcase and worked hard to write.
For the ghoul case and the Miao family's three lives case, Li You has not dealt with government affairs for more than a month, and now the work on the desk has piled up.
Yang Ming sat in front of the bookcase on Li You's right, and after sorting out a stack of manuscripts, he picked it up and walked to Li You's side. "Master, now that the autumn harvest has passed, it's time to collect taxes again, and this is the amount of tax that should be levied this year."
"Oh." Li You took the manuscript handed over by Yang Ming, and immediately frowned after reading the first page. "This tax burden is too high!"
"My lord, five liters of rice in Futian and three liters of rice in inferior fields, which is converted into this amount." Yang Ming hurriedly explained. "No matter how low it is, the amount of taxes apportioned by the state this year will not be completed."
"However, this year's drought has reduced the population of our county," Li You said as he rummaged through the materials of the household registration file.
"Compared with last year, our county has increased by more than 20,000 people." Yang Ming replied directly. Today, the registered population is close to 80,000. And this year's wind and rain are smooth, not the year of the great drought that adults say. ”
"Look at it, the new 20,000 people, you have to tax them as soon as you settle down, isn't it too unreasonable." Li You's eyes rolled, and he came up with an idea again. "You say that although there are more than 20,000 new people, they are all newly resettled displaced people, and they cannot be taxed yet."
When Yang Ming heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li You with tears and laughter. "But the tax amount set by the state is about to be completed, and this is related to the future of adults..."
When Li You heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He ruined the emperor's plan for immortality, and it's hard to say whether this official can continue to do it, and he still cares about the future. While he is still in office, it is better to seek more benefits for the people.
However, Li You naturally wouldn't explain this to Yang Ming. "The people live and work in peace and contentment, and I, the parent official, have a future at all. That's it! ”
Yang Ming was stunned by Li You's words.
Li You thought that Yang Ming still had to insist on his opinion, so he immediately continued to ask. "Master Yang, do you have anything else to say?"
Yang Ming hurriedly shook his head and stared at Li You tightly, his eyes full of admiration. "No, my subordinates obey!"
Li You was stared at by Yang Ming and got goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly waved his hand at him. "Then let's adjust it quickly."
"Yes!" Yang Ming turned around and walked back to his seat.
Li You continued to look through the case file.
A white light flashed, and Ouyang Jian appeared above the lobby.
Li You looked at Yang Ming and saw that Yang Ming was no longer surprised, so he didn't bother to bother with Ouyang Jian anymore.
Ouyang Jian looked proud. "You're looking for me?"
"Hmm." Li You put down his pen, turned around and walked to the back hall.
Ouyang Jian looked at Yang Ming for a moment, then raised his leg and followed.
The two came to the study in the back hall, and after Li You confirmed that no one was eavesdropping outside the room, he closed the door. "There's someone I need you to help me find out."
Ouyang Jian immediately frowned. "Looking for someone?"
"Not bad." Li Youquan didn't see it. "A girl—Yao Lan!"
"Yao Lan?"
"Here's what I can do..."
"I haven't said yes..."
"I decide, you carry it out, this matter is involved in demons and Buddhism." Li You said a few words, and Ouyang Jian was speechless. The clues are as follows: first, she was a pawn in Yao Buwei's hands; 2. Her face was burned and should have a scar; Third, she is handsome and has an outstanding temperament. ”
"Any other questions?"
Ouyang Jian squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Within two days, be sure to bring her to Jishitang."
When Ouyang Jian heard this, he immediately stopped and turned to stare at Li You.
"If the other party finds her first, she will definitely die!"
Ouyang Jian was skeptical, but in the end he didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the room.
Although Li You didn't know where Yao Lan was hiding, based on Ouyang Jian's ability to find out Zhao Liang's past, he concluded that he could also find Yao Lan.
Therefore, Li You shoehorned this crucial task to Ouyang Jian.
Take the initiative!
Now that you have this power in your hands, and since your opponents are more cunning than one another, you must not be able to wait passively as before.
After the ghoul case, Li You has completely lost his mind to the emperor of the current dynasty.
According to Wei Miao'er's explanation afterwards, in order to refine the elixir, it is first necessary to use precious medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum to make a decoction, and then soak forty-nine children of seven or eight years old in the decoction, and pour these decoctions every day until there are no other impurities in the body. Then, the flesh and blood of these children are squeezed dry and condensed into essence. In the end, it was to use the girl with the same birthday as Peng Zu as the medicine guide, condense these essences as a whole, and this elixir of life was refined.
In order to live forever, not only did he spend a huge amount of money to buy a large number of rare medicinal materials, but he also allowed Sun Kui to kill so many children, such an emperor, like Sun Kui, has long lost his humanity!
Under the rule of such a person, how can Datang not die!
Whenever he hesitated a little, the shriveled corpse kept hovering in Li You's mind, reminding him of the urgency of time at all times, and making him give up the last trace of luck for Datang.
Li You is no longer the same Li You as before.
………
After Wei Miao'er finished prescribing the last prescription, she couldn't help but stand up and stretch her waist. Although there is no physical discomfort, I will subconsciously do it.
In fact, Wei Miaoer didn't know what happened to her body after all. However, since that day, the whole person, both in mind and thinking, has undergone tremendous changes.
The medical theory that I didn't understand before is no longer a problem now, and the small problems left by long-term fatigue have long since disappeared, and even the scars left by my childhood have disappeared.
What's more, what's even more amazing is that no matter how big the injuries are, she seems to be able to control some kind of power in her body to heal these wounds.
"If this power can be used to heal others..."
When Wei Miao'er thought of this, her heart pounded. If it can come true, he will no longer need to prescribe medicine, and he can save people's lives with a wave of his hand.
At that time, didn't he become a reincarnated Guanyin master?
"Miss Miao'er, it's time to eat."
Just when Wei Miao'er was thinking about it, Tian Xiao walked over from the back hall, and Wei Miao'er hurriedly retracted her thoughts. "Oh, got it."
Wei Miao'er turned to look at Mo Xing and Long Tongue behind the counter, and then looked at Ouyang Yan, who was sitting on the side, trying to recite the order of the medicine cabinet, and didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed for a while.
After returning to Shengtang County yesterday, Li You called everyone and set up a table in the Forgotten Building with great fanfare, and he still ate the prestigious Luoyang Water Banquet.
Wei Miaoer originally thought that Li You was to thank everyone, but she didn't expect that in the end, Li You shamelessly relied on herself.
"Miss Miao'er, this meal cost me fifty taels of silver! Moreover, my house was almost demolished by the long tongue. Now that Li You's family of eight has nowhere to live, you can't bear to see us on the streets. ”
The short mouth of the cannibal and the long tongue did ruin the house of Li You's family.
So, Li You's family moved to Jishitang overnight.
Wei Miaoer knew at this time that she had fallen for Li You.
"Miss Miao'er, I'm back!"
Li You walked in from outside and was looking at himself with a smile.
"Sister Miao'er, I'm back too."
Wang Miao actually walked in from outside.
These two guys are coming back with a meal!
Wei Miao'er glared at the two of them, turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Li You didn't care, but glared at Wang Miao. "Miao'er, didn't I let you keep an eye on the dock?"
Wang Miao bypassed Li You and followed closely behind Wei Miao'er. "I have a group of younger brothers now, and if there is an abnormality, they will come and notify me. Uncle Tian made something delicious today, don't expect to take me away! ”
When Mo Xing saw Li You, he immediately ran over. "Brother Li You!"
"Moxing, is the pharmacy still fun?"
"It's not fun." Mo Xing shook his head. "It's still fun to handle cases. When are you going to come to the court to ask about the case, take me with you. ”
"Okay!" Li You was overjoyed. "I'm short of trustworthy manpower."
"Great!"
"Mo Xing...", the long tongue followed behind Mo Xing, with an unhappy expression.
"You can come if you want." When Li You saw the long tongue, his eyes lit up.
A strong and stealthy subordinate, this is an excellent helper that Li You can't ask for.
Wei Miao'er should have heard Li You's words and immediately turned her head. "You two will stay in the hospital honestly, when will I get my permission, when will I be able to leave."
"Ahh "Oh."
"Li You, you don't have the idea of beating the two of them! Otherwise, please find another place for your family. ”
Li You was pinched by the handle, so he had to spread his hands at Mo Xing, revealing a helpless expression.
Mo Xing is a disciple of the Mo family, and if he is discovered by the people of Mo Valley, Mo Xing will definitely be arrested. As for the long tongue, because there is a case, it is not easy to reproduce other incidents.
Let's wait until the time comes.
Li You couldn't help but sigh. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
