"Mom rice." Li Kuan was in the kitchen and called out.
The old woman who chased people in, smelled the fishy smell in the air, and then looked at the blood from the inner room to the stove. She replied dryly, "big, little."
The voice of the people in the kitchen is light: "carry some water in."
The old woman looked at the water tank in the center of the courtyard, but her feet were filled with lead, so she could not move.
She plucked up her courage and asked, "how about Aunt MI, big or small?"
"I've fallen asleep." Li Kuan said, and urged, "water."
The old woman couldn't help it. Looking at the young man in white beside her, she didn't stop him any more. She just dawdled to fetch water.
When a bucket of water is filled and it is to be lifted into the kitchen, the wrist is held down. The old woman looks at the white prince in front of her eyes, subconsciously thinking of the identity of the other party, she says: "isn't it necessary for adults to see the young and the old? Old man, I'll pass it on for you! "
"Mom, be careful." "White clothes childe admonishes way.
The old woman suddenly became more frightened, her body was shaking like chaff, and her eyes were trying to look inside.
There was no movement in it. Aunt Mi seemed to be out of it.
"Mom rice." Li Kuan's urging voice came from the kitchen.
The old woman dare not delay any more, carrying water, and walked in shivering.
When she entered the kitchen, the old woman didn't even dare to lift her head. Her head was low, and her eyes were always on the toe of her shoes, but she saw a man standing in front of the kitchen, his legs were smooth and his body was filled with blood.
The old woman poured water into the big pot in the kitchen, lost a big ladle, and turned around to leave.
But Li Kuan called her, "light the fire."
The old woman was biting her teeth, picking up the firewood with numb hands, and poked one by one into the kitchen stove.
There was a brief silence in the kitchen. Li Kuan didn't say a word.
The old woman just worked with her head buried. After half a column of fragrant Kung Fu, she felt footsteps behind her. Then, she was covered by a shadow.
Almost conditioned, the old woman immediately opened her mouth: "as a young man, two people have come to you today. One is from the front. They say it's your help. They want to ask you something. The other is the official from Yamen. It's in the yard. He said that the mountain land you rented on the mountain has collapsed. What kind of document do you want to sign?"
After a while, the old woman heard Li Kuan say, "you go out first."
The old woman, as pardoned, left the firewood and rushed out of the kitchen with her head buried.
After leaving the yard, looking at the white man in jade under the moon in the yard, the old woman's heart settled down. She ran to him, grabbed the sleeve of the white man and said, "I smell it. I really smell it. It's all blood. My Lord, you are from Yamen. You You can't let me have an accident! "
The young man in white patted the old woman peacefully and said, "you know, I'll wait for him here?"
The old woman nodded quickly: "said, said, if not so, I am afraid that all cannot come out." With that, he looked into the direction of the inner room and said with a trembling voice: "aunt MI, she..."
"Go and have a look."
The old woman shook her head in fear: "I, I will not go I'm not going... "
"Men and women are different. Shall I go?"
The old woman still dare not, hide behind the young man in white, straight way: "she is not a clean woman, I don't know how many men smell on her body, you are a yamen official, to see her is to save her!"
The young man in white smiled, "why should I serve her even if I can't see her like this?"
The old woman didn't say a word. She was hiding behind the young man in white and said nothing.
"Then I'll see." The young man in white sighed helplessly and raised his feet.
The old woman pasted it behind him, and she also walked.
When they came to the door of the house and were about to push it in, the kitchen door opened. Li Kuan, who was already dressed neatly, came out and looked at the strange man in the yard. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "the Yamen is here?"
Young master in white stood up, looked at him, and made a gentleman's salute to him: "young master Li is polite."
Li Kuan looked at him: "Sir, who is in Yamen? How to address it? "
"Just some paperwork. My surname is Liu." After the young man in White said it simply, his eyes began to circle around Li Kuan.
Li Kuan's eyelids moved, and said, "there are many things in the county. Four people have been killed before. I heard that the county magistrate of Song Dynasty borrowed a Lingtong from another county to help solve the case. It's Liu, too. It should be, isn't it you?"
The young man in white shook his head: "that's my son."
Li Kuan's eyes were delicate. He paused and said, "my old slave said, what happened to my rented land on the mountain? What documents do you want me to sign?"
The young man in white, Liu Wei, nodded and said, "there is a huge tree that has fallen. It has toppled the wooden house in the mountain not far away and smashed a hole in it. We found that the wooden house is also the one of Li dawao and Shao."Li Kuan said, "it seems that I didn't see the land after I rented it. I only sent my staff to inspect it. I remember that there is a wooden house on the mountain. By the way, there is a broken wooden boat, but it can't be used even if it's broken like that."
Liu Wei lowered his head: "not necessarily, the wooden house and the wooden boat have been used recently."
Li Kuan was surprised: "seriously? So someone stole up my hill, lived in a wooden house and used a boat? Tut, this kind of remote place is the most insecure. I will order someone to put on a rope net around tomorrow, and say that the 40 mu land is owned by my Li family. Don't let any cat and dog think it's a public hill and steal the advantage of my Li family. "
Liu Wei suddenly admired Li Kuan. "What does Li mean, is that wooden house and wooden boat are not for you?"
Li Kuan said with a smile, "Sir, I'm a big and small Li family. Why do I live in a wooden house in the mountain?"
Liu Wei nodded her head and turned her eyes to the door of the inner room next to her. "I heard it's Li Da Shao's concubine, Auntie Mi?"
Li Kuan stood in front of the door and said, "it's just an outside room. My wife is very noisy at home. I haven't let her know for the moment. As a member of the yamen, sir, you should not go out and gossip, right
"Of course not." Liu Wei said kindly, "but how can I hear that Aunt Mi didn't have the surname of MI. She was originally Jiang? It's the same surname as the second youngest wife of the sun family. "
Li Kuan glanced at the mother Mi behind Liu Wei and smiled again: "it's all rumours. Don't take any rumours seriously, sir. My Li family and my sun family are both big families in the West. Most people want to arrange the bad words of my two families. My Li family is big and small. Even if they want to commit adultery, they won't find his sun's little wife. Isn't that to put the relationship between the two families on the fire? I'm not that stupid. "
Liu Wei stared at him: "I didn't say you had an affair with the second young lady of the sun family."
Li Kuan laughed again and said, "let's talk about signing documents. What documents do you want me to sign?"
