Chapter 21: Overboard
"Tell me!"
Xi He couldn't help but smile when he saw Qiao Xuan's solemn expression, "Actually, there's nothing to talk about, it's just a group of bandits who are famous for robbing the rich and helping the poor, and being chivalrous.
They live in the depths of Heding Mountain, and every time they go out of the mountain, it is a sign that the warehouse of a rich family who has done all the bad things will be looted. ”
Qiao Xuan's heart was shocked, and he was a little curious about the group of people in Xi He's mouth, "You mean to make them-"
Xi He nodded, "As you said, if you don't take it for nothing, even if that group of people takes the money, they won't keep it all for themselves, and they will distribute it to the people in another form." ”
"Then how do we let them know that the county master is going to finish this matter?" Qiao Xuan's brain was running rapidly, how could someone who had no evidence believe that he and Xi He.
"I know a classmate of Hedingshan, and the relationship is not bad, so leave this matter to me" Xi He volunteered, "He will believe me!" Besides, didn't you say that the village chief of Qingfeng Village had gossip and learned that someone was coming to the capital! ”
Qiao Xuan's mind turned and he understood Xi He's intentions.
"That's hard work for you!"
"Do you know why I want to gain fame?" Xi He asked coldly, Qiao Xuan was stunned and looked at him in a daze.
Without waiting for her to answer, Xi He said to herself: "Most of the children of the poor family study and take exams to get out of the poor door, become famous, glorify their ancestors, and be glorious and wealthy, but I am not, I don't love these and don't ask for these ......."
"Oops! Let's give it a go! Let's get it! There was a pregnant woman in the car who was in a hurry to go to the hospital, so everyone let go. ”
Before Xi He's words were finished, a carriage ran rampant on the street, and the driver in the carriage turned pale and kept shouting.
Qiao Xuan's eyes quickly pulled Xi He back a few steps to avoid being bumped into.
What he wants to say she understands, he only wants to be a good official who is honest and honest and dedicated to the people, and to protect the people, everyone has ideals, this is his Xi He's ideal.
The two hired an ox cart to return to the town, and Qiao Xuan stuffed a few silver tickets into Xi He, "Those who see it have a share!" ”
"Thank you!" Xi He didn't shirk anymore and accepted it calmly.
The two separated, one went back to Taoyuan Village, and the other went to the town to find someone.
On the other side, the backyard of the county government.
After Li Yuming sent Qiao Xuan and Xi He away, as soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, a reckless maid rushed into the study.
"It's not good, master!"
Li Mingyu got up suddenly, "What's wrong?" Say! ”
"Miss fell into the lake," the little maid's voice trembled.
As soon as he heard that his baby daughter had an accident, Li Mingyu pulled his legs and ran away, he has a lot of women, but he is just this one child, but he can't go away.
Passing through an archway, behind the rockery is a man-made lake, and in the pavilion at the entrance of the lake are four or five helpless maids.
A gust of wind blew, rippling on the surface of the lake, and the lanterns in the aisles built on the lake were crumbling.
"Mingjuan, Mingjuan" Li Mingyu shouted as he ran in front, and a group of servants chased after him, huhula like a wild boar crossing the mountain, and the ground was shaking.
"Master, master" The maid's face was pale, they were Li Mingjuan's personal maids, and if something happened to the young lady, their group would not end well.
Li Mingjuan was lying flat on the ground, and no one dared to touch her.
Li Mingyu stepped forward and squatted down, pulled her daughter up in her arms, and shook wildly, "Don't hurry up and ask for a doctor!" What are you doing stunned? A bunch of dog minions don't work. ”
After being scolded, the subordinate hurriedly turned around and ran outside to ask for a doctor.
"My Mingjuan, dad is here, you must not have an accident!" Maybe Li Mingyu moved too much, and the rune paper that Qiao Xuan sold to him fell out of his arms.
The rune paper fell on Li Mingjuan, who was wet, and the cinnabar on it quickly faded while the yellow paper was also soaked.
Li Mingyu's eyes widened in astonishment when he saw this scene, but soon his attention returned to his daughter, who was motionless and her eyes were closed.
He was about to cry, "Don't scare your father!" My baby girl. ”
"Woo~"
At this time, Li Mingjuan let out a whimper, Li Mingyu was overjoyed and had hope in his heart, and he hurriedly called, "Mingjuan." ”
The man in his arms rolled over and began to vomit, and a smoky smell spread with the wind.
"It's okay, it's okay" Li Mingyu didn't dislike her foul-smelling daughter at all, and whispered in her mouth.
He thought that it was the talisman that had just saved his daughter, and he only felt that he had bought less and that he should have bought more.
Now there is only a rune paper left, or the girl left it to his wife, he is a little embarrassed, he wants to be filial and selfish and wants to keep the rune paper for himself.
"Dad" Li Mingjuan spit out turbid water and grabbed her father's sleeve, and said in a frightened voice: "There are ghosts, dads, ghosts!" ”
Li Mingyu chuckled in his heart, but in order to calm the panic, he still said: "Don't talk nonsense!" Where did the ghost come from in the blue sky and daylight, don't scare yourself. ”
He is a county order, if it is rumored that there are ghosts in the house, it will not become a joke in the mouths of everyone.
Besides, he has done a lot of bad things over the years, and many people want to step on him, and he can't leave a handle for others.
Li Mingjuan has always been spoiled, and she was suddenly murdered, especially when she was psychologically fragile, she couldn't hold back her crying.
"But I really saw it, woo woo, why don't you believe me?" She said as she cried.
"I was pushed into the lake by a ghost, a female ghost dressed in black, with long hair and black nails."
Li Mingyu's brain was buzzing, although she couldn't bear to cry so sadly, she still had to take the overall situation seriously, and scolded sharply: "Shut up!" ”
He glanced at the little maid who was standing next to him and said coldly: "Miss was frightened when she fell into the water, and she didn't send her back to the room to rest!" ”
The little maid was excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Mingjuan, who was crying.
Li Mingyu took off his coat and put it on his daughter's body, and his voice softened, "Go back and have a good rest, don't scare yourself, Dad will come to see you later." ”
After Li Mingjuan left, he looked at the other people in the pavilion with a cold face, "Miss was scared and confused just now, do you know what to say and what not to say when you go out?" ”
"Miss fell into the water and was frightened, and we don't know anything else."
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the subordinate, and he knelt on the ground with a bang and hurriedly said, they had already learned Li Mingyu's ruthlessness, and they didn't dare to make a mistake at all.
Li Mingyu snorted coldly, looked around the lake, and found nothing.
Now that someone is coming from the capital, this incident has happened at home, and he is upset, so he can only wait for the people in the capital to leave and then tidy up his family.
He hoped that nothing would go wrong during this period, and with things in mind, he walked out of the pavilion on the lake.
