Chapter 1287 It’s Like It’s Not Inside

"Mother Mi." Li Kuan called out from the kitchen.

The old woman who chased the person in smelled the fishy smell in the air, then looked at the blood stains on the ground that spread all the way from the inner room to the kitchen, and replied dryly: "Master, Master."

The voice of the person in the kitchen was light and calm: "Bring some water in."

The old woman looked at the water tank in the center of the courtyard, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn't move.

She plucked up the courage to ask: "Eldest, eldest young master, where is Aunt Mi?"

"I've fallen asleep." Li Kuan said, and urged again: "Water."

The old woman had no choice but to take a look at the young man in white beside her. She didn't stop him anymore and just went to fetch water slowly.

When she filled a bucket of water and was about to lift it into the stove, her wrist was held down. The old woman looked at the young man in white and subconsciously thought of his identity, so she said, "Don't you want to see the young master?" ?Old man, I will pass it on for you!"

"Mom, be careful." The young man in white warned.

The old woman suddenly became more frightened, her body shook like chaff, and she looked hard into the inner room.

There was no movement at all inside, and "Aunt Mi" seemed not to be inside.

"Mother Mi." Li Kuan's urging voice came from the kitchen again.

The old woman didn't dare to delay any longer, so she walked in shivering with water in hand.

Entering the stove, the old woman didn't even dare to raise her head. She kept her head down and her eyes were on the toes of her shoes. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw a person standing in front of the stove. The man's legs were bare and his body was Filled with blood.

The old woman poured water into the large pot in the stove, threw a large ladle away, and turned to leave.

But Li Kuan stopped her: "Light the fire."

The old woman gritted her teeth, picked up the firewood with numb hands, and slowly stabbed it into the stove hole one by one.

There was a brief silence in the kitchen, and Li Kuan didn't say another word.

The old woman just buried her head in her work. After half a stick of incense, the old woman felt footsteps behind her, and then, her whole body was covered by a shadow.

Almost as a reflex, the old woman immediately spoke: "Young Master, two people have come to see you today. One is from the front, saying that he is your assassin and wants to ask you something, and the other one is, It's a servant from the yamen. He's in the yard. He said that some of the land you rented on the mountain has collapsed, and he wants you to sign some kind of document!"

The shadow behind her seemed to be frozen. After a while, the old woman heard Li Kuan say: "You go out first."

As if she had been granted amnesty, the old woman dropped the firewood, buried her head and ran out of the kitchen.

After leaving the yard and looking at the man in white under the moonlight, the old woman calmed down. She ran over, grabbed the sleeve of the man in white and said: "I smell it, I really smell it, it's all The smell of blood, sir, you are from the Yamen, you... you can't let anything happen to me!"

The young man in white patted the old woman comfortingly and said, "Have you informed him that I will wait for him here?"

The old woman nodded hurriedly: "I told you, I told you. If it hadn't been like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come out." After saying that, she looked towards the direction of the inner room and said tremblingly: "Aunt Mi..."

"You go and see."

The old woman was so scared that she shook her head: "I, I won't go... I won't go..."

"There are differences between men and women, so why don't I go?"

The old woman still didn't dare, so she hid behind the young man in white and said straightly: "She is not a clean woman in the first place. She has the smell of many men in her body. You are an official of the Yamen. Looking at her is like saving her!"

The young man in white smiled and said, "If you look down on her so much, why do you still serve her?"

The old woman didn't say anything. She just hid behind the young man in white and said nothing.

"Then I'll go take a look." The young man in white sighed helplessly and walked over.

The old woman stuck behind him, following his footsteps.

When the two of them walked outside the house and were about to push the door open, the kitchen door opened. Li Kuan, who was already fully dressed, came out. He looked at the strange man in the courtyard and raised his eyebrows and asked, "He's from the Yamen." ?”

The young man in white stood still, looked at him, and saluted him as a gentleman: "Young Master Li is polite."

Li Kuan looked at him: "I'm unfamiliar with you sir. Who is he from the yamen? How do you call him?"

"Just some paperwork, my surname is Liu." After the young man in white briefly told himself, his eyes began to wander around Li Kuan.

Li Kuan's eyelids moved and he said: "There is a lot of trouble in the county. Four people died in a row before. I heard that Magistrate Song borrowed a soul boy from another county to help solve the case. His surname is also Liu. It should be, not your Excellency, right?"

The young man in white shook his head: "That's my son."

Li Kuan's eyes were subtle, he paused and said: "My old slave said, what happened to my leased land in the mountain? What documents do you want me to sign?"

The young man in white, who was Liu Wei, nodded and said: "A huge tree fell down, and one end of it crushed the wooden house in the mountain not far away, breaking a hole in the wooden house. We found out that the wooden house was also made by Li Young and old.”

Li Kuan said: "It seems so. I didn't visit the land after it was leased. I only sent my men to inspect it. I remember that there was a wooden house on the mountain, and by the way, there was also a broken canoe. But it was so broken that it should be It can’t be used anymore.”

Liu Wei lowered his head: "That's not necessarily the case. The wooden house and canoe have signs of being used recently."

Li Kuan looked surprised: "Seriously? So, someone sneaked up to the top of my mountain, lived in a wooden house, and used a small boat? Tsk, this kind of remote place in the countryside is the most unsafe. Tomorrow I will order people to put ropes around it. Net, make it clear that the forty acres of land belong to my Li family, and don’t let any cats or dogs think it is a public hilltop and take advantage of my Li family.”

Liu Wei suddenly admired Li Kuan: "Young Master Li, do you mean that the wooden house and the canoe are not for your use?"

Li Kuan smiled: "Sir, you are joking. Why do I, the eldest son of the Li family, live in a wooden house in the mountains so well?"

Liu Wei nodded, and then turned his eyes to the door of the inner room next to him: "The one in the room, I heard, is the concubine of Mr. Li's golden house. Is he called Aunt Mi?"

Li Kuan stood in front of the door and said, "It's just an outer room. The main wife at home likes to make trouble, so I haven't let her know about it for the time being. The gentleman is from the yamen, so he shouldn't go out and spread gossip, right?"

"Of course not." Liu Wei said pleasantly, "But how did I hear that Aunt Mi's surname is not Mi, but Jiang? She has the same surname as the second young lady of the Sun family."

Li Kuan glanced at Mi's mother behind Liu Wei and laughed again: "Those are all rumors. Sir, don't take any rumors seriously. My Li family and Sun family are both big families in Xijin County. There are many people who want to set me up." The two families have bad words. Even if I, the eldest son of the Li family, want to commit adultery, I will not go to the young lady of the Sun family. Doesn’t this put the relationship between the two families on the fire? I am 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: "Let's talk about signing documents. What documents do you want me to sign?"
