Seeing that a pot of mutton stove was about to reach the bottom, the light rain that had been falling outside for a long time actually stopped. A few drops of rain rolled down from the eaves, making small splashes on the wet ground.

The sound of footsteps, in a hurry, came from the courtyard gate. Bai Ze put down the teacup in his hand and looked up.

"I seem to hear footsteps." Bai Li was tidying up the things on the table when he heard the voice, and his eyes followed Bai Ze to look out.

A figure appeared in everyone's field of vision, and it turned out to be a work in the county office.

"But what's going on in town?" Lord Xin was tasting tea, and when he saw that the person who came was a fake, he immediately put down the tea cup in his hand.

"If you go back to your lordship, nothing happened in the town, but someone handed a letter to the county office, saying that she wanted to see your lordship." He stepped forward quickly, wanting to hand the letter directly to Lord Xin, but was stopped by Gao Zhan with a knife.

"How do you know that your Excellency is in the White Mansion?"

"How would I know." His expression was a little strange: "I don't know, I really don't know, it was the person who sent the letter who told me." ”

"The messenger told you?" Gao Zhan glanced at the letter in his hand.

Very ordinary envelope with an empty top.

"It was really the messenger who told me, and the person who came said that I should deliver the letter to Lord Baifuxin. If you don't send it, there may be a catastrophe in Huaxi Town. The little old man thought about it again and again, but decided to take a run. If this is all right, the adults will reprimand me at most, and if there is really something wrong, but I don't deliver the letter, then I will not become a sinner in our entire Huaxi Town. ”

"He is an old man in the government, and the official can trust him. Gao Zhan, bring the letter. Master Xin stretched out his hand.

"It's better for my subordinates to help the adults take a look." Gao Zhan glanced at it, picked up the letter directly, and opened it: "It's He Yuanhong." ”

"What?" Lord Xin and Bai Li spoke almost in unison.

"If you go back to your lordship, this letter was sent by He Yuanhong to the hands of the servants." Gao Zhan handed the letter to Lord Xin: "There are only a few sentences on the letter, saying that it is to invite the adults to the He family's courtyard to talk about it." It's about the old Wu shopkeeper and the merman who appeared in the town. ”

"The merman's matter really has something to do with the He family." Master Xin quickly skimmed through the content of the letter, and indeed as Gao Zhan said, there were only a few simple sentences, and the meaning was probably similar to Gao Zhan's paraphrase.

"Don't go, my lord, if this merman is really related to the He family, then this He Yuanhong may be a Hongmen banquet." Bai Li glanced at the letter, handed the dishes and chopsticks in his hand to the maid behind him, and asked them to clean up first.

"What does Mr. Bai think?"

"I agree with my wife's words, He Yuanhong will never invite adults to come to the He family's courtyard for no reason, and he also explained in the letter that it is about the old Wu shopkeeper and the merman. This old Wu shopkeeper came out of Hejiabao, and we already know this. What we know, how could He Yuanhong not know? In my opinion, not only did he know, but he also arranged more than one hidden stake near the yamen, and these people were not only ordered to monitor the every move of the county government and Lord Xin, but also monitored each other. When something happened to Lao Wu's shopkeeper and his wife, He Yuanhong must have received the news and knew that the merman who killed Lao Wu's shopkeeper was coming at him. As for whether he wants to make a deal with an adult or wants to take advantage of an adult, it is unknown. ”

"It doesn't matter what he thinks, just ignore him."

"My lord, my subordinates also mean this, no matter what He Yuanhong wants to do, just ignore it, my lord." Gao Zhan waved his hand at Qi Zuo, who was relieved and hurriedly went out from Baifu.

"That merman's subordinate has seen that he has done something with Mr. Bai in front of Lao Wu's shopkeeper's shop. According to his subordinates, the merman is not Mr. Bai's opponent. As long as Mr. Bai is there, that merman can't make any waves in Huaxi Town. Besides, there is not only Mr. Bai in our town, but also Li'er and her master. If it really wants to be chaotic, it is impossible for Li'er to sit idly by, as long as Li'er is in charge, it is impossible for Li'er's master and those friends of Li'er's master to ignore it. Don't worry, there won't be any chaos in our Huaxi Town. ”

"I've heard you say for most of the day, is this all about our family?" When Bai Li heard this, he immediately pursed his mouth.

"Isn't it a lot of work for those who can do it, if I can beat that merman, I will never bother Mr. Bai to move a finger."

Hearing Gao Zhan say this, Bai Li became happy again, and hurriedly said: "That's what I said, it's better to deal with sharks or my husband." Of course, you're better at solving these crimes. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Bai, it's rare for Mrs. Bai to praise me." Gao Zhan arched his hand.

"Don't come, I don't know what you say about me in your heart." Bai Li stretched out his hand and slapped him lightly: "Although I know that this matter is related to He Yuanhong, and I also know that he will most likely be a bad person, but I don't know why, I always feel that things are not as simple as we see." We've all met Mrs. He, do you think a woman like Mrs. He would raise a super villain? Even if you want to teach a bad guy, it shouldn't be your own son. Yes, I know, I know that He Jiabao is the real business of the He family, but we all know that once we come into contact with He Jiabao, there is a chance that we will die, and we all know the things, Mrs. He herself will not know. She knew it, and how could she be willing to let her biological son, who was not in good health, be involved in the matter of He Jiabao. Even if you want to find a substitute for the dead ghost, you should find someone who is not your own. To tell you the truth, I even suspect that the reason why Mrs. He wanted to keep Miss Wang's child in the first place was to let him die in the place of her own son. ”

"Li'er, why do you think that?"

"Am I not right to think so?" Bai Li asked Gao Zhan rhetorically: "I think it's normal and reasonable for me to think like this." Mrs. Ho is a woman, and I am also a woman. Mrs. He is the wife of the He family's media, and I am also the wife of the Bai family's media, and Mrs. He and I are actually the same, both from the perspective of the wife. I once asked myself if I might accept that Bai Ze had a good relationship outside. My answer is, I can't accept it, and if there is a day, I will definitely take a divorce. But if I know very late, just like Mrs. He, when I know the truth, Bai Ze has already led the person into the Bai family, and that person already has Bai Ze's flesh and blood in his belly, what should I do? ”

"Madame, I'm not going to do it!" Bai Ze hurriedly pleaded.

"Hypothetical, I'm just assuming, of course I know you won't." Bai Li hurriedly reassured Bai Ze: "I am replacing myself in Mrs. He's position and making assumptions." If I don't have children myself, I may leave in style, and the person who doesn't love me will not love me either. But after all, I am different from Mrs. He, the marriage between Mrs. He and Master He is a marriage of interests, Mrs. He will never be so impulsive, and there is already a He Yuanhong between her and Master He, whether it is for the interests of her mother's family or for the sake of her own son, she will never tolerate Miss Wang giving birth to that child. ”
