"Report to the village master, we brought the old man here."
The movement from outside the bamboo forest interrupted the conversation, and the conversation between the two had to be put on hold for the time being.
Lian'er glanced at me first, then raised his head and walked two steps forward, said in a deep voice, "Well, bring him over¡ª" When he gave orders, he seemed to be domineering, and there was no trace of the childish air of being angry just now ?
To a certain extent, she has actually been used to giving orders since she was a child, but it was just that she commanded wolves at first, but now she commands crowds.
The meaning of the glance at me just now was already obvious, so I was naturally sensible. Seeing the figure outside the bamboo forest swaying and approaching, I retreated silently to an inconspicuous corner behind Lian'er, making up my mind to leave without calling her. Don't call her, so as not to be blamed by her later for damaging the majesty of the village master.
But after seeing the person who came, I knew that it would be difficult not to speak. At this time, the old man who was walking here with a face full of fear was not the old man Zhuo Zhonglian who had resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Who else? Before, I had too many things to think about, and I felt that this person was harmless, so I really forgot about him. I didn't expect that he is still not out of trouble now, and I don't know how Lianer plans to deal with it. Maybe I will really ask for mercy later. OK.
But for now, it is natural to wait and see how it changes first.
When people approached, a female soldier stood beside Lian'er, and the rest stood on both sides. The formation was like a trial hall. Fortunately, this old man has experienced ups and downs in his career, but he has a bit of character, although his face is panicked. , looked left and right, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know if the heroine ordered someone to bring the old man here, what orders do you have?"
And the heroine he was talking about, the actual king of the mountain, was standing proudly, and said loudly: "Master Zhuo, it's nothing, I invited you here, just to settle the account under your name with you."
I listened in the corner, wondering if she really wanted to make money from other people's property? Indeed, three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, and an official who can retire safely in his old age, no matter how much he does not corrupt the law, that is enough oil and water, otherwise how could he invite so many bodyguards to protect him along the way.
The old man obviously thought so too, and said in panic after hearing the words: "You can take this little money, the village owner, as Zhuo's family still has a small property, so you don't have to rely on the eunuch's bag."
But the girl's face turned cold, and she said loudly: "Although I am a thief when I practice neon clothes, there is a way to steal. You can ask a knowledgeable person, how many times have I practiced neon clothes to steal people's money indiscriminately? If you are really an upright official, I don't want a penny, if you are a corrupt official, hmph, then I'm sorry, I want money, I want my head, do you hear me clearly?"
The old man saw sweat dripping from his forehead, and his body trembled slightly, it can be seen that he still has some bad conscience after being an official for a long time, and I was somewhat startled when I heard the righteous words.
After the girl over there scolded her, she paused for a while, and said slowly again: "Zhuo Zhonglian, just listen, you have been an official for more than ten years, and the total amount of money you have received from your subordinates and the local government is 76,700 taels." One hundred taels, this money is ill-gotten gains, I have taken it all. In addition, the money and grain discount is 32,500 taels, although this money is stipulated by the court, but it comes from the common people, I will also take it, on behalf of You return it to the people. In addition, your salary is 16,800 taels, which is what you deserve, and I will return it to you. You have been an official for more than ten years, and your salary is only a little over 100,000 taels. You can¡¯t be considered a clean official, but you can¡¯t be considered a corrupt official, you can only be regarded as a well-behaved court official, now that the account has been settled, you will not accept it!¡±
After a few words, the old man became more and more astonished as he listened to it, and at the end he heard the signs, and showed some joy, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Fuck, obey, how can the female hero trainer treat the old man's eunuch's income all these years?" It is like a few treasures, the accounts are clear, and there is nothing wrong with it, the old man is convinced!"
"You just need to be convinced." After getting such an answer, the girl nodded in satisfaction, and winked to the side, and the female soldier standing beside her came out, raised her hand, and threw a command flag over.
"I sent your bodyguard away, and now I'll give you another one." Seeing the other party's astonishment, the King of the Mountain explained proudly: "Your people and the rest of your money are now at the gate of the village. With the flag planted on the car, no one dares to touch you all the way in the province, much stronger than your Wudang faction bodyguard!"
The old man immediately seemed overjoyed, hurriedly received the order flag, and was about to thank him, but someone else came over to signal, leading him to turn back the same way and go out of the bamboo forest.
So before turning around to leave, the old man only had time to cup his fists to thank him. He first bowed to Lian'er, then made a slight movement, and bowed deeply to the direction where I was standing.
It turned out that he had already seen me, or in his eyes, this matter could develop into such a situation, and the danger was turned to safety, I am afraid that I have a part in it.
& n?Who said no? I came here in the middle of winter. At that time, the nearby officials and bandits colluded with the common people to suffer, especially a group of women. I couldn't get used to it. That's why I got this village, so most people in the village took Dong as their surname. "She was the most aggressive in her life. When she saw my doubts, she was very dissatisfied. She stretched her neck and argued: "As for the bamboo shoot, it has something to do with you. I saw that she looked a bit like you, so I had an idea Name, if you say this, you are involving yourself in it! "
Slightly startled, it wasn't because of Lian'er's words, but because of the weird look on the female soldier opposite, which happened to catch my eyes, and I looked closely, but there was nothing, just seeing her stepping forward. One step later, he cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Master, it's getting late, and the food has already been prepared. When are you going to eat?"
"Yes, I see. Let's go now." Lian'er nodded, put the topic behind her, held hands and smiled, "Let's go? I'll treat you to something delicious." Pulled, but did not pull.
"Wait a little longer?" Standing on the same spot, seeing her looking back at me puzzledly, she smiled back, held the hand holding each other, and said softly: "I still have something to say to you, It¡¯s not too late to eat after finishing talking, okay?¡±
Hearing what I said, the girl in front of me seemed to think about it for a while, and didn't hesitate for too long, then turned her head and said: "Then you go down first, we will go by ourselves in a while, just let the kitchen get ready."
The female soldier heard the words and said yes, she bowed her head and retreated calmly, but after turning around, she seemed to look this way again.
Really Are you overthinking? Can't help feeling a little dazed.
I have a vague feeling that I am most afraid that I can't see anyone around Lian'er, and I have a heart of jealousy and jealousy. I have never had extravagant hopes, but at least I am sure of my position next to Lian'er. where? It's a question I never thought about.
If it is not needed, then standing next to her would be meaningless
Thinking about it this way, I almost lost myself. Fortunately, I woke up early, and I didn't have the capacity to continue thinking about it. I shook my head slightly, and threw away the messy thoughts. When I raised my eyes, I saw someone on the opposite side. He stared at my face with interest, an inquiring expression.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that I noticed her gaze, Lian'er didn't hide it, instead she opened her mouth and said curiously, "You frown and shake your head. Isn't that wonderful expression?"
I rubbed the center of my eyebrows with a wry smile, and said, "It's just random thoughts. Master, I like to think too much from novels. It's not like you don't know" At this point, I remembered the previous conversation, and I received it casually: "Yes I just got interrupted, I asked you why you came here alone and you haven't said anything, did the master allow you to go down the mountain?"
When asking this question, his fingers were still rubbing his eyebrows habitually, blocking his sight, so he didn't pay attention to the surroundings, and when he couldn't wait for the answer, he put down his hand in doubt, but saw under the shadow of Sesel bamboo just a few feet away , Lian'er stood quietly, the expression in his eyes hardly fluctuated.
"She can no longer control what I want to do." She looked at me and replied frankly.
"Master is gone."
