"Master, master?" The county magistrate's wife chased after him.

But Fengyang County Ling didn't look back.

Mrs. County Ling stomped her feet in anger.

At this moment, a mother-in-law came and said, "Master, the official of the front hall has come to spread the word, saying that a noble person is visiting, please go to the main hall." ”

"Noble? In the middle of the night, what noble person will come? Is there a post? Fengyang County Ling frowned and asked.

Fengyang County is a poor and small county seat.

There are only three or five wealthy families, and only two or three family members are officials in other places.

There are many daughters in his family, and there are not enough high-ranking families for his daughters to marry.

married his daughter to another place, and his wife disliked it

For this, Madame did not say much about him.

But is it his fault?

"There are no posts, people are in the main hall." The mother-in-law said.

The county commander walked out of the courtyard of the main house, and the official guarding the door immediately came over, "Master, the noble man has been waiting in the main hall for a long time. ”

"What nobleman? Which one? "Fengyang County Ling wants to go to Aunt Li.

He didn't want to see any nobles.

"It's Lord Mu from the East Palace of the capital." The gatekeeper said.

Fengyang County Ling's eyes widened in shock, "Uncle Cousin is here?" He turned back to the mother-in-law who was passing the message and said, "Go and inform Madame quickly, and go to the front hall to see Uncle Qitang together." ”

The mother-in-law was frightened and frightened, turned around and ran into the courtyard, "Madam, ma'am? ”

The county magistrate's wife had already followed and heard the report of the gatekeeper.

She was calm and calm, and instructed the grandmother who followed her to inform the steward to arrange supper, light the lights in the house, and welcome the seventh uncle.

In the midst of the panic of the servants, the county magistrate's wife and the county magistrate came to the front hall.

The gatekeeper was so nervous that his forehead was sweating.

It's over, is the person outside the door really the cousin of the county magistrate?

Is it really the guard of the East Palace?

But he also scolded the retinue of the county magistrate's uncle just now, will the county magistrate beat his board?

The guards were so frightened that their legs trembled.

"Master, why did Uncle Qitang suddenly come to Fengyang County?" Mrs. Prefectural Commander asked the prefectural magistrate in a low voice.

She hadn't seen Uncle Mu Qitang, and she heard that he was working as a guard in the East Palace of the prince of the capital.

He is the most promising child of the Mu family.

When he was a child, he was favored by the prince and chose to be a playmate, and later became a guard.

The county magistrate glanced at her, "Where do I know?" ”

In fact, the county magistrate has never seen the young Qitang uncle in this clan.

When he sent his sick old father back to his hometown in the suburbs of Beijing for burial, it happened that Uncle Qitang also went back and took a look at it from a distance.

He wanted to meet the prince's personal guard, but he didn't have a chance.

However, through the connections of other people in the clan, he obtained a painting of Uncle Qitang.

The painting still hangs in his study.

The county ordered two people, puzzled, and came to the front hall.

At this time, Li Shen was already supported by Liu Zhutou and Zhou Heiniu, and sat on the main hall, playing with a black waist card engraved with bronzing characters in his hand.

"Nephew Kashiwakawa, how are you doing?" Li Shen saw Fengyang County Commander coming, and bowed his head lightly.

The county magistrate blinked, and the young man in the crow-blue robe in front of him was extravagant and had a cold look in his eyes.

Although he didn't see Uncle Qitang's appearance, except for Uncle Qitang, who dared to call him by his first name and surname?

The people in the clan who could call him by his first name were his parents and a cousin, but now they have long since died.

Now, only this seventh cousin, who he doesn't see very often, is his elder.

is still a cousin who can see the royal family every day, which is the glory of the whole family.

It's something he can't reach.

"Uncle Seven, what kind of wind blew you to Fengyang County? The nephew never greeted him from afar, and asked the seventh uncle to forgive his sins. The county commander smiled and walked over to greet him.

When he got closer, he saw the waist card clearly, and the words "East Palace Guard-Mu Huai" were written on it.

Mu Huai is the name of Uncle Qitang.

Li Shen saw that he had been staring at the waist card, gently hooked the corner of his lower lip, and deliberately handed the waist card to his eyes, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

Ah, it's really Uncle Qitang!

The gatekeeper was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants.

Seeing that the county order was respectful, Mrs. County Commander also smiled and saluted, "My nephew and daughter-in-law Qi have seen the seventh uncle." ”

"Get up, you don't have to salute." Li Shen withdrew his waist card.

He glanced at the county magistrate, then looked at the county magistrate, and asked lightly, "I'm here to inquire about someone." ”

The county commander smiled, "Although Uncle Seven said that as long as people are in this county, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will be sent to Uncle Seven." ”

"You don't have to dig three feet into the ground, wouldn't that destroy the back house of Kashiwagawa's nephew?" Li Shen smiled.

The county magistrate and the county magistrate didn't understand this sentence, and blinked in a daze.

The county magistrate looked at Li Shen and asked with a smile, "Seventh Uncle, what do you mean by that?" ”

"The lady in charge of your house, yesterday evening, picked up a young lady surnamed Lin from Tianfeng Village, Beihe Township, where is she? Are you okay? Li Shen's gaze looked straight at the two of them.

The county magistrate's eyes widened, "Lady surnamed Lin?" That's not ......"

"She's a lady I've recently married. Kashiwagawa's nephew, what about her now? Li Shen's voice sank.

mentioned Lin Xirou, the faces of these two people changed suddenly, could it be that something happened to that stupid woman?

Li Shen narrowed his eyes.

Mrs. County Commander quietly pinched the county order.

Cold sweat began to break down the spine of the prefectural magistrate.

Oh no, that Lin Niangzi turned out to be the person of the seventh cousin?

He almost locked Lin Niangzi in prison, but fortunately he only locked up the firewood room.

He secretly pushed back the county magistrate's wife, and quietly glanced at her and motioned her to release her quickly.

At the same time, he prayed in his heart that Aunt Li would not do it in advance, otherwise his whole family would be slaughtered by Uncle Qitang.

Because, he saw Uncle Qitang's hand grasping the hilt of the sword.

"Ah, yes, yes, ma'am? Hurry up and invite Mrs. Lin. "The county magistrate pushed the county magistrate's wife.

Mrs. County Ling was also panicked, and she was afraid that Aunt Li's idiot would secretly do it.

This time she can finally be released openly, she glared at her stupid man fiercely, saluted Li Shen and said, "Seventh Uncle wait a minute, my nephew and daughter-in-law will go and invite Mrs. Lin to come." ”

"Okay, I'll wait." Li Shen said coldly.

The county magistrate smiled and flattered, "Uncle Seven, this is the place where the case is tried, and it is deserted, please move to the back hall." ”

"It's okay, by the way, the painting I gave you the year before last is still there, right? You don't dislike my poor drawing skills, do you? Li Shen glanced at the county order and said with a deliberate smile.

The county magistrate smiled and said, "No, no, I have been hanging in my nephew's study, how can Uncle Seven's painting skills be clumsy?" It's a hundred times stronger than my nephew's. ”

Hearing him patting his ass, Li Shen chuckled, "My leg has been injured recently, and I can't move, you can help me." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The county magistrate rolled up his sleeves, personally helped Li Shen to get up, and turned his back to the back hall.

Zhou Heiniu, who watched the whole process, kept his eyes wide in surprise.

He said in his heart, Brother Mu Sheng is so powerful, if he buys expensive clothes and a sword, he can also coax the county commander!
