When Chen Mo and Wu Shan came out shoulder to shoulder, they heard passers-by whispering outside.

"Have you heard, the Qinghe Gang was raided by the Yamen."

"Huh? It's really fake, didn't I hear that the Qinghe Gang and the Yamen are together, how could the Yamen raid the Qinghe Gang? ”

"Why are you lying to you, I just came back from the south of the city, and the people from the yamen are still there."

“……”

Wu Shan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled a passer-by past to ask what happened.

The passer-by was hesitant at first, but as Wu Shan reported his identity and coercion, the passer-by immediately told what he knew.

After learning that Yang Wei, the leader of the Qinghe Gang, and several other hall masters had been killed, Wu Shan was stunned.

It's not that I sympathize with them.

Although the Qinghe Gang is not as good as the local scholars in terms of its heritage, its power, in Pingting County, one acre and three points of land, except for adults, who dares to provoke.

But now, along with the helper to the hall master, he was actually served by someone.

And the murderer is just one person.

Where does this come from?

Chen Mo is concerned about something else,

He originally thought that Chang Yuan would change someone to take over the Qinghe Gang, but he didn't expect Chang Yuan to send someone to raid the Qinghe Gang.

and announced the crimes of Yang Wei and others, and confiscated all the property of the Qinghe Gang.

Just when Chen Mo wondered Chang Yuan's purpose for doing this.

After separating from Wu Shan, when Chen Mo heard that the people actually remembered the good of the county lord and praised Chang Yuan as the master of Qingtian, he seemed to have guessed Chang Yuan's purpose in doing this.

Chang Yuan's collusion with the Qinghe Gang, after all, was secretly and not put on the surface, and many people did not know about it.

Now that the Qinghe Gang has an accident, Chang Yuan can not only take advantage of the situation to clear up the relationship, but also gain the favor of the people after it is announced, and eradicating the tumor of the Qinghe Gang is also a great achievement.

After the raid, the money from the Qinghe Gang was also obtained.

It's a triple win.

As for collusion with the Qinghe Gang?

Now that everyone is dead, there is no proof of death, who can prove that the Qinghe Gang and I are in the same group?

This hand is called the pot, you can carry it, and I will get the benefits.

And with the reputation of Yang Wei and others, except for the families of several of them, no one will be upset for them.

Therefore, the yamen does not have to bear the pressure of "public opinion."

Even, after the yamen raided the Qinghe Gang this time, Chang Yuan could still secretly support one person to control the Qinghe Gang.

Sure enough, people who play politics have stolen hearts.

……

The death of the leader of the Qinghe Gang and the Lord of the Seven Halls caused a great sensation in Pingting County.

The Li family, the Wang family, and even the declining Yi family all sent people to inquire who the murderer was?

Naturally, their move will not avenge Yang Wei and the others.

It's to see if you can pull it over.

Somewhere in the courtyard attic.

Listening to the maid preparing the hot water, Xia Zhiqing hummed softly.

The maid came to fetch the screen, and after blocking the four sides of the bathtub, she retreated.

After seeing the maid leave, Xia Zhiqing lowered her head, unbuttoned the breasts, unbuttoned them one by one, wrapped her hands around her neck, untied the string tied into a bow, and put the white belly pocket embroidered with lotus flowers on the screen stand, a pair of upside-down jade bowls..., snow-white skin appeared in the air.

Xia Zhiqing bent her knees, untied her skirt, stroked it with one hand, protected it with the other, and stepped on the wooden pedal with her little feet like mutton fat and white jade, and "banged" into the bathtub.

As soon as I was enjoying it, there was a sound of stepping downstairs, and then there was the voice of my sister Xia Zhining: "Sister, something big happened outside." ”

Xia Zhiqing was suddenly startled, and while getting up and picking up the belly pocket on the screen rack and putting it on, she said, "Zhining, don't come up, I'm bathing..."

As a result, the words were still on her lips, Xia Zhining had already gone upstairs and pushed the door in, and said, "That's right, I just broke through and sweated, so I can take a bath together." ”

After speaking, he bypassed the screen and saw Xia Zhiqing who was about to come out of the bathtub.

"Xia-Zhi-Ning..."

Xia Zhiqing was really annoyed and shouted angrily.

But Xia Zhining seemed to have no face and no skin, and she didn't take Xia Zhiqing's scolding to heart at all.

"Sister, why are you so angry, when we were in Nanyang before, didn't we bathe together every day, and we haven't seen it..."

As she spoke, Xia Zhining's belt was untied, and her clothes faded away, revealing her natural, flawless jade-like skin.

She stepped into the tub, and the hot water in the tub overflowed somewhat.

Xia Zhining pressed her sister's shoulders, and the two sat down in the bathtub, their snow-white and delicate shoulders surfaced, and through the white soup-like water, it seemed that they could see Yingying white fat.

She held the jade bowl and muttered, "Sister, you seem to be big again." ”

"Xia-Zhi..."

Xia Zhiqing scolded again, she was going to be condensed to death by Xia Zhi, but before she finished speaking, Tan couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

"Sister, don't be angry." Xia Zhining sprinkled Jiao: "Didn't people just break through, they are excited, they won't next time." ”

After sensing that her sister's anger was gradually subsiding, Xia Zhining smiled and said: "Sister, something big happened outside, the Qinghe Gang leader and the seven hall masters below were all killed by one person, the Qinghe Gang leader heard that he was an eight-rank martial artist, and there were so many people under him, and the person who killed him had to be a seventh-rank martial artist at the very least."

Sister, you're right, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I thought that in this small county, only Uncle Chang has a seven-rank martial artist by his side, but I didn't expect that there are other people too. ”

Xia Zhiqing, who heard this, was also surprised at first, and then her face became solemn.

Because of the tight war ahead, every strong man above the seventh rank has his own post to stick to, and his father, as the prefect of a state, has countless people staring at his words and deeds, so he can only send Liu to escort such seven-rank warriors and escort them to Pingting County.

originally thought that the seventh-rank martial artist was enough in this small county, but now that an uncertain seventh-rank martial artist has come out, Xia Zhiqing is worried that there will be variables.

"Zhining, I don't know the identity of this murderer yet, it's not sure if it's friend or foe, don't always go out in the future, it's not safe." Xia Zhiqing said.

"Settled." Xia Zhining didn't take it to heart, but wanted to see this "murderer".

……

Chen Mo procured glutinous rice, koji, flour, and pork in the city.

And bought myself another pair of boots, which I could use to change and wash.

I bought rouge and a bronze mirror for my sister-in-law.

In order not to be conspicuous, Chen Mo put them all into a sack and went out of the city.

By the time Chen Mo returned to Fuze Village, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the village, Chen Mo saw Zhang He walking back and forth at the entrance of the village.

"Zhang He, it's so late, why are you standing here?" Chen Mo said.

When Zhang He saw Chen Mo, he was originally worried, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him: "Brother Mo, you're back." ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo frowned.

Zhang He touched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I was a little worried when I saw Brother Mo that you didn't come back so late when you entered the city." ”

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and patted him on the shoulder: "Have you eaten?" ”

Zhang He shook his head.

"Come and eat together."
