I was also inexplicably a little uncomfortable in my heart, looking at her pear blossom with rain face, I wanted to be comforted, but I didn't know how to speak.

I used to be a little curious about who her husband was? How did you die ——— disease? Accidentally? Or vendetta?

At this moment, none of this matters, I just hope that she can come out of the shadow of her deceased husband and start a new life of her own. After all, she is still so young and so beautiful......

Pretty!

Forehead...... I'm not a womanizer, but if she needs to borrow my shoulder and cry, I'll be stingy.

"Okay, thank you for helping me get the silk handkerchief back, you can go and get busy, and you will send me tofu tomorrow morning."

While I was dreaming, Mu Niangzi suddenly wiped away her tears and euphemistically ordered the eviction.

"Okay."

I don't know how I got out, but I walked in despair, barrels crashing like drums on wooden crates. The cicadas chirped all the way, and the fiery sun drilled through the gaps in the branches of the trees on the side of the road, shaking so that people did not dare to look directly.

"Please stay!" A voice came from behind him.

I looked back and saw a man my age standing three feet away from me, as if he had suddenly emerged from the ground.

His hair was neatly tied up on the top of his head, leaving only a piece of oblique bangs on his right forehead, a handsome face that seemed to be invisible, thick eyebrows like ink paintings, thick and curly eyelashes, deep eyes, a high nose, ruddy lips slightly raised, and a mysterious smile.

I sighed secretly, I didn't expect that there were such beautiful men in the world, so beautiful that they seemed to blur men and women. However, looking at his washed away light gray robe and the paper fan in his hand, there is no doubt that he is a scholar.

However, the fan is interesting, the average poor scholar will draw some landscapes or inscribe his own poems to attach elegance, and there are only three words on his fan——— "Mu Banxian".

Hehe, is it possible that he is not a scholar and a fortune teller?

I stared at his face, speculating about his identity, and I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart. I always thought I was good-looking enough, but I didn't expect to meet that Li Huichun a few days ago, but I was hit, and this person made me even more ashamed of myself.

"Have you seen enough? Am I so good-looking? The beautiful man took another step forward, and it felt like it was almost touching my face.

I felt out of shape, quickly took a step back, and looked away: "Who are you?" Is there something wrong? ”

The beautiful man moved his gaze to me again, and evoked a charming smile: "Do you want to tell fortunes?" All you need is a tael of silver, and I can show you the way to make you soar. ”

Sure enough, it was a fortune teller.

Wait, what did he say? A tael of silver!

I looked at this outspoken "madman" in amazement: "Hey, do you know how much a tael of silver is?" Crazy about money? ”

The beautiful man was not angry at all, pointed to my burden and said: "You and I are destined, if you can't come up with so much money at once, it doesn't matter, you can pay in installments, give me 100 yuan a day, pay it off in ten days, I won't charge you interest." ”

I was really speechless, sighed, and pointed forward: "Do you know about the Rejuvenation Hall?" ”

The beautiful man nodded: "Of course." ”

"The doctor inside, Li Huichun, is a closed disciple of Xiangzhou Du Shen Doctor, and his medical skills are exquisite, Your Excellency has this spare time to joke with me, so it is better to go and see him."

"See what?"

I smiled, "See a doctor." In this daylight dream, shouldn't you wonder if there is something wrong with your brain? ”

"You're the only one who has the problem!" The beautiful man was still angry after all, he closed the fan, frowned, bit his lower lip with his teeth, and glared at me angrily.

"Uh...... It's a hot day, I don't have time to joke with you, I have to go back. With a hint of apology welling up in my heart, I smiled at him, shifted my burden, and continued on my way.

"Li Jianghu, don't you want to be a secret agent?" The voice of the beautiful man behind him sounded again, his voice was soft, but powerful.

He knows my name and knows my ideals...... Who is he?

I put my burden back on my feet again and blurted out my question: "Who are you?" ”

The beautiful man's paper fan shook gently, and the hair on the front of his right forehead also fluttered, and after a while, he saw that my face was still full of eagerness to know the answer, so he replied slowly: "If you want to be a secret agent, you don't have some observation and judgment, how can you do it?" Guess who you think I am? ”

I looked at him again and tentatively said a name: "Xiao Mu? ”

The beautiful man nodded with satisfaction: "The head of the Meng Catcher said last time that you also want to become a secret agent of the Sky Eye, and you want to ask me for help." However, although Qin Cha does not care about the identity of the secret agent, he is very strict with the character and ability of the secret agent. If I don't find out clearly, I won't take the liberty of recommending it to the Qincha. ”

I suddenly felt that the hope that had been extinguished for a long time was like a dry grass blown by the spring breeze, and it began to sprout quietly again. Seeing that he can become a secret agent like this, how can I be worse than him?

"Little ...... Oh, Brother Mu," I deliberately drew closer and called affectionately, "I wonder what conditions are required for secret agents?" Forehead...... Hehe, also, what are the benefits of being a secret agent? How much can I get each month? Is it tax-free? ”

Xiao Mu smiled: "This hasn't started yet, and you're starting to think about the reward?" is worthy of being a businessman, and he likes to calculate too much. ”

"I ...... Hehe, I still have to save money to marry my daughter-in-law and children, and I have a mother to support, but if I don't have money, who wants to do it for nothing? ”

"You're being honest." Xiao Mu shook his fan and smiled again: "Money, no, but Qin Cha will reduce half of the tax as appropriate, if you are a secret agent just to make money, you can dispel this idea." ”

"Half the tax......" I muttered.

"The laws of the imperial court stipulate that half of the taxes collected must be paid, and the other half can be retained by the local government officials, and there are only so many people who can call the shots."

"What about you? As a secret agent, aren't you in it for money? I looked at his old clothes again, and I was a little puzzled, just to be exempt from half of the tax, there was no salary, what made him willing to spend a lot of time on the work for the Qincha? Do you want to please Qincha with this, and if it is the title of the gold list, it will be good to have a backer?

"Money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't take it in death, everything is just for money, how cheesy." Xiao Mu looked at me with disdain: "In life, you always have to do something meaningful." If my efforts can save the people of Xiangzhou from war, it will be considered a merit. ”

I also smiled: "I, Li Jianghu, am a common person, unlike you scholars, who have such a high consciousness, I just want to have no worries about food and clothing, and live a good life." ”

"If Xiangzhou is stable, your life will be better, once you let Tubo Xizuo mix into the city and provoke turmoil, do you think your life will be better?" Xiao Mu Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "The meaning of the Qincha is to gather the hearts of the people, so that the people can work together to resist the enemy." And I heard that we are very lazy, and we always fantasize about being able to 'rule by doing nothing', so since we took office, we haven't done a few major things, and we usually can't see people in the Assassin's Mansion, and we don't know where to hide and enjoy our leisure. ”

I don't know what kind of person Qin Cha is, but I suddenly feel that Xiao Mu's words are very reasonable: As a citizen of Xiangzhou City, if Xiangzhou City is in chaos, then will I still have a good life? If I can also contribute to the stability of Xiangzhou City, and I can also be exempted from half of the tax, why not?

"What Brother Mu said is very true, well, I am willing to be a secret agent, even if I don't have a salary." I made a clear statement, and even my head was raised, feeling that I had become a hero to save the people of Xiangzhou.

"Okay, as long as you pass the assessment, I will recommend you to Qincha."

"Assessment?" I was confused again: "What other assessments do you have to pass?" Who to take the test? ”

Xiao Mu smiled: "Of course, it is assessed by me." ”

I looked at his charming smile and slapped him on the shoulder: "If I'm right, I should have passed, right?" Otherwise, how could Brother Mu show up? Didn't he reveal his identity as a secret agent? ”

"Yes, my brain is quite flexible." Xiao Mu affirmed: "Ever since Meng Zhutou mentioned you to me, I have been secretly observing you. You are filial, hardworking, and kind...... The character is still good; Of course, there are many shortcomings, such as: very narcissistic, greedy, cowardly, indecisive, a little lustful, and ......"

"Hey, do you know me that well?" I saw him talk about my shortcomings endlessly, and I feigned anger: "Do you know what your shortcomings are? Self-righteous guys! ”

"How do you know?" Xiao Mu said excitedly: "That's right, I'm just a little too confident, so I often warn myself now that I have to think twice about how to behave in the world." Otherwise, according to my previous style, I would have taken you directly to see the Qincha. ”

"Hehe, since I have a lot of shortcomings, why did I pass the assessment?" I'm puzzled again.

Xiao Mu shook his head seriously: "Who said you passed?" Your observation and judgment are not enough, how can you discern the hidden subtleties among ordinary people? ”

"Am I not observant and judgmental?" I rolled up my sleeves and wiped my sweat: "Do you know what it means to be 'as delicate as a hair'?" When I was 10 years old, I followed my master to perform autopsies on others, and I practiced my eyesight. ”

"Autopsy? Have you ever tested it alone? Xiao Mu snorted lightly, with disdain in his tone. The fan in his hand kept fanning, as if he would die of heat if he stopped, but, strangely, his face was still calm, not even a trace of sweat.

I slapped my chest: "Of course! Early this morning, I helped the county order examine a corpse. ”

"Tu Laosan who killed pigs?"

"yes, how do you know?"

"How did he die?" Xiao Mu asked.

An inexplicable uneasiness rose in my heart, and I turned around and replied in a low voice, "Drunk vomit aspirated to the airways and died." ”

"Are you sure?" Xiao Mu paced in front of me, smiled coldly, took out a pure white silk handkerchief from his arms and shook it in front of my eyes: "Then how should this silk handkerchief be explained?" ”

I grabbed it, that's right, Mu Niangzi's silk handkerchief!

"You...... Where did you get this silk handkerchief? I asked, trying to composure.

Xiao Mu said without changing his face: "Stealing, stealing from under the bed in the Tianzi No. 1 room of the Jianghu Inn." ”

"You...... How can you ......" I was speechless for a while, although it was the first time I had seen him, but in his care of Meng Zhutou, he should also be a kind person, from the conversation we just had, how could such an easy-going person become a thief?

Xiao Mu pointed at the silk handkerchief with a fan: "This is not an ordinary silk handkerchief, but ...... A murder weapon! ”
