Chapter Twenty-Three: A Visit
"What did you just say was that gentleman's surname?" Liu Xianling walked a few steps, came to Liu Zhutou, and asked loudly.
Liu Zhutou saw Liu Xianling's excited appearance, his heart trembled, and then he thought back carefully, after so much time, he was also a little unsure of what the strange person's surname was that the Qingyoufang people said, and after a while, he looked up at Liu Xianling, and said uncertainly: "Lord Yu, it should be surnamed Mo." ”
When Liu Xianling heard this, his face instantly turned red with excitement, he walked back and forth in the front hall, and after a while, he stopped in front of Liu Zhutou and said, "You will carefully tell the official about the events of that day, and you are not allowed to leave anything behind." ”
Liu Zhutou pondered for a while, then slowly spoke, and told the events of that night, Liu County ordered to listen, pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, you go to the account room to spend a hundred taels of silver to send to that Mr. Mo, just say that the gentleman caught the reward silver stolen by the two thieves for us, remember to send it to Mr. Mo by hand, by the way, see what that Mr. Mo looks like, come back and talk to the county, go quickly." By the way, it's better for you to go over by yourself, and don't bring anyone else with you, so as not to disturb the gentleman's purity. ”
Liu Zhu bowed his head and saluted, answered yes, and went to find the bookkeeper. Liu Xianling watched Liu Zhutou leave, the excitement in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, only feeling comfortable for a while.
But said Mo Chen, when he came back last night, he felt that he was deficient in his cultivation, and after cultivating for one night, although there was no substantial progress, he also felt that the mana in his body had condensed a little. I got out of bed and stretched comfortably, and looked at the scenery outside the window, and it was already sunrise outside.
went out and walked towards Old Man Yang's noodle shop, and when he arrived at the noodle shop, Old Man Yang hurriedly stopped what he was doing and said, "Mr. Mo, you are here, are you still the same?"
Mo Chen smiled and nodded, and Old Man Yang personally led him to a brand-new table and said, "Mr. Mo, you sit here." ”
Looking at this different table from the side, Mo Chen glanced at Old Man Yang suspiciously, he didn't know what happened to this old master today, but he didn't think much about it, he sat down, Old Man Yang saw him sit down, and hurriedly went to cook noodles.
After eating the noodles, Mo Chen didn't have the heart to drink tea and listen to the book, returned to Mingyuexuan, took out the swordsmanship cheats given by Zhao Chenghuang and read them, as for why he didn't read those classics of spells, because those attack spells such as thunder and fire are not very profound, and he has already practiced into the door, no matter how he cultivates, it is just icing on the cake, if he encounters some stronger enemies, it is better for him to rush up with the dragon sword and cut a few swords against the other party.
Besides, these martial arts cheats given to him by Zhao Chenghuang are probably not ordinary in the world, and they are worthy of some martial arts people to draw their swords and fight for each other, carefully read the swordsmanship cheats, and occasionally get something, Mo Chen used the sword to refer to the sword, and made two volleys in the air.
"Knock knock. ”
The sound of knocking on the door came, Mo Chen put down the books in his hand, and secretly wondered who was coming, his small courtyard, in addition to teaching children to read, was also a little popular, and the neighbors of Qingyoufang would not easily visit the door, could it be Xiao Du Kang?
Mo Chen cleared his throat and said, "The door is not locked, come in." ”
With a squeak, the door was opened, and seeing the appearance of the person who came, Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, the person who came was dressed in a military uniform, with a knife at his waist, and a tray in his hand, and a red cloth was covered on the tray, and he didn't know what was inside.
Mo Chen greeted him and asked, "......Who is this adult?"
The person who came was Liu Zhutou, who had just entered Qingyoufang, he smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms, and thought that there were still peach trees blooming at this time?
When Liu Zhutou heard Mo Chen's words, he hurriedly said: "My surname is Liu, you are the head catcher of the Yamen of Anxi County, you are Mr. Mo Chen?"
"It's Mo, Liu Zhutou, please take a seat. Mo Chen led Liu Zhutou to sit down, and continued to ask, "Liu Zhutou came to the door, I don't know what happened?"
Liu Zhutou put the tray on the stone table, rubbed his arm that was a little sore, a hundred taels of silver also weighed eight catties, he walked this way, his arm was also a little tired, and then said: "A few days ago, there were two thieves who wanted to steal your door plaque, do you remember?"
How could Mo Chen not be impressed, he still used some mana that night to cure the two thieves, and then said with a smile: "Haven't those two thieves been arrested......?
Liu Zhutou said: "That night, I heard from the people of Qingyoufang that the two thieves were controlled by you, and I sent you the reward silver under the order of the county commander. With that, he lifted the red cloth from the tray, revealing the silver taels inside.
"Reward?" Mo Chen looked at the silver on the tray and asked suspiciously, are they just two thieves, is there so much silver?
When Liu Zhutou heard Mo Chen's words, the look on his face was a little embarrassed, and he secretly said in his heart, the reason of the county commander is indeed lame, and he is not a Jiangyang thief, how can there be so much silver, even if those two thieves are famous, they are just petty thefts, but they have never been caught.
"Yes, it's a reward, please accept it from Mr. Mo. Liu Zhutou could only bite the bullet.
Mo Chen thought about it, and understood the meaning of Liu County's order, I don't know where I heard that there is such a strange person surnamed Mo in Qingyoufang, and then think of what he experienced last night, so he sent this Liu Zhutou to inquire in the name of giving a silver reward.
Knowing the meaning of Liu County's order, Mo Chen smiled and said, "I'm tired of Liu Zhutou, bring a message to the county commander for Mo, and say that Mo thanked him." ”
Liu Zhutou listened to Mo Chen's words, and hurriedly got up, this kind of embarrassing atmosphere is really not suitable for an upright person like him to stay, seeing Mo Chen accept the silver tael, he bowed to Mo Chen and said: "Sir's words, I must bring it in the next place, and I will leave." ”
Mo Chen smiled and said, "Liu Zhutou walks slowly." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mo Chen suddenly looked up at the sky, and said to Liu Zhutou: "Liu Zhutou wait for a while." ”
After speaking, he went to the house to get an umbrella, handed it to Liu Zhutou, and said, "Please take this umbrella." ”
Liu Zhutou glanced at the sky where the sun was high, he didn't know what this gentleman meant, he had to let him bring an umbrella, thinking that the county magistrate was still waiting for him to go back to his life, Liu Zhutou didn't shirk again, took the umbrella, said goodbye again, and turned to leave.
Watching Liu Zhutou leave, Mo Chen sat back on the recliner, glanced at the silver on the stone table, shook his head and smiled, muttered in his mouth, and continued to look at the cheats.
"A burst of autumn rain and a burst of cold, a white dew and a frost. A few more rains and it should be winter. ”
Besides, Liu Zhutou had not yet come out of Qingyoufang, he heard a thunderous explosion, looked up, and saw the sky where the sun was shining, the dark clouds quickly swept in, the thunder was rolling, and it was about to rain heavily.
"Is it really a strange man?"
