Chapter 659 Seven Twenty-Seven:
Xiangyang.
In a leisurely and elegant courtyard room.
Chen Mo glanced at the two beautiful ladies with shining eyes and said, "Don't worry, there is a share for you. I will give it to you when we leave Xiangyang."
By that time, the Qingwu Pill will be almost done testing the poison.
Hearing this, the two of them were delighted. Although they wondered why they had to wait until the day they left Xiangyang, there was no need to lie to them since the young man said so.
Madam Xiao hugged Chen Mo's arm, and her arms, which were as soft as snow, put Chen Mo's arm between her half-exposed two round moons. It was soft and smooth, and the candlelight shone on her face, making her look even more bright and beautiful: "Prince, you are so kind."
"Don't make trouble, drink soup."
"Prince, I will feed you." Madam Xiao let go of Chen Mo's arm, held the soup bowl, and fed Chen Mo a spoonful of soup gently.
Chen Mo was not hypocritical and enjoyed Madam Xiao's service.
Mrs. Gan, who was standing next to him, had a light blush on her face. In order not to look like an outsider, she said softly, "Your Highness, now Xu Guozhong and Lu Sheng have been eliminated, the foreign invaders have been pacified, and the world is in your hands. The people are in favor of you. The Chu family is no longer worthy of being the master of the Song Dynasty. When will you take the next step?"
After saying this, even Mrs. Xiao stared at Chen Mo's face, quite curious.
After all, Chen Mo is not Xu Guozhong and Lu Sheng in the past. He has the capital to become emperor. The most important thing is the people's support, so there is no need to worry about the change of dynasty causing unrest.
Chen Mo raised his sword-like eyebrows: "Who taught you to say that?"
Madam Gan drank a mouthful of soup, sipped her red lips that had been kissed off long ago, and said in a disgusting voice: "No one taught me, but I feel that the current emperor is just a puppet supported by the traitor Lu Sheng, and he has no ability to be in that position. Moreover, the political affairs of the court are now in your hands, so why should I be under him?"
"Aqin, you are talking about treason, aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
"If the prince can go one step further, I will die without regrets." Madam Gan felt that since she wanted to gain the other party's attention, it was necessary to persuade him.
The next moment.
"Prince, it's itchy." Madam Gan snorted with disgust.
While Madam Xiao was feeding her, Chen Mo, who had his hands free, directly grabbed Madam Gan's feet, put them on his legs, took off his embroidered shoes, and played with the white feet.
Although Madam Gan's feet were not as small as Wu Mi's, she was a noble lady who did not do dirty or tiring work, and her feet were very beautiful.
Madam Gan sat next to Chen Mo. When Chen Mo held her feet and played with them, her delicate body fell to the ground with her legs raised.
Madam Xiao glanced at her, her face slightly stiff, and the next second her face was like burning, and she quickly retracted it.
Madam Gan was actually naked under her skirt.
Madam Gan also realized that Madam Xiao had seen it, and immediately cried "Woo", covered her face with her hands, and kicked the feet held in Chen Mo's hand to express dissatisfaction.
"Prince, do you want to drink more?"
Soon, Madam Xiao finished a bowl of ginseng chicken soup. Although there was still some in the big soup bowl, she was worried that if she drank more, Chen Mo would have no appetite for food.
"Drink after dinner. But Madam has to continue feeding, my hands are full of Aqin's athlete's foot." Chen Mo smiled.
"Your Highness, I hate you." Madam Gan felt that Chen Mo was so annoying. It was obviously you who wanted to play, but he still said that.
After playing like this, the meal took half an hour.
"Aqin, you should clean up the dishes. Madam, let's go and digest the food." Chen Mo gently stroked Madam Xiao's smooth and delicate skin and said.
Madam Xiao blushed and nodded.
This time it was Madam Gan's turn to have a trace of resentment in her eyes.
Seeing Chen Mo hugging Madam Xiao's plump body and walking towards the inner room, Madam Gan bit her lower lip and said, "Your Highness, let your sister see what she looks like."
"Your Highness, what is your sister talking about? What do you mean by seeing what you look like?" Madam Xiao asked in confusion.
Chen Mo smiled but didn't say anything. When she was placed on the untidy dressing table, he was stunned. A trace of shame and anger appeared in his misty eyes. He said to the outside: "Sister, you have no conscience."
Chen Mo: "..."
He was also a little surprised. This Ah Qin, the "bitterness" he experienced, must also be experienced by Madam Xiao, right?
...
The next day, early morning.
Chen Mo woke up quietly on the couch.
The night before, Chen Mo accompanied Xiao Yunxi and others to play blindfold guessing. Last night, he accompanied Madam Xiao and others. In addition, the two of them were experienced people, too greedy, and they didn't need to be as compassionate as Song Min and Xiao Ya, so he satisfied the greed of the two ladies.
Fortunately, he was young and a third-grade warrior. After a deep sleep, he woke up refreshed in the morning.
If it were in the previous life, I'm afraid he couldn't even get out of bed.
Madam Xiao and Madam Gan actually woke up earlier than Chen Mo, and they both drew circles on Chen Mo's chest with their fingers in tacit understanding.
Seeing that she was awake, they almost asked at the same time: "Are you hungry? I'll make some breakfast now."
"Can you cook?"
"I learned a little when I was bored in Tongque Garden." Since they were settled in Tongque Garden, their daily life is almost just sleeping and eating, eating and sleeping.
"Then eat whatever you want." Chen Mo did not refuse.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. As his strength and status become stronger, he feels more at ease to enjoy the service of others.
"Sister, you worked harder last night. Take a good rest. Let sister make breakfast." Mrs. Xiao, who was sleeping on the outside of the bed, said.
After learning how to cook for so many days, it was time for Chen Mo to see his results.
Being able to cook for Chen Mo made her feel happy.
And now she wants to please the other person.
Not to mention these, Mrs. Xiao is more than ten years older than Chen Mo.
In the Song Dynasty, this age difference was a terrible number.
And older girls are naturally more willing to take care of others.
This is also related to women’s early puberty.
After briefly tidying up, Mrs. Xiao went out to work in the kitchen.
Mrs. Gan pouted dissatisfiedly when she saw that she had been preempted.
Chen Mo sat up and stretched. When he saw Mrs. Gan's expression, he smiled and turned over and pressed her under him. He put his hands on both sides of her head: "Since she went to cook, then we should also Can’t have nothing to do.”
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
"I asked knowingly. It just so happened that after she had finished cooking over there, we were almost done."
Mrs. Gan: "..."
…
Liu's Steamed Bun Shop.
Huang Zhaodi got up early to pack. Although there was nothing to pack, just a few changes of clothes, she kept packing like this for almost a quarter of an hour, shedding tears while packing.
"Mom, why are you crying again?" Dai Feng woke up and saw his mother crying again. He was already somewhat sensible, so he quickly got up and stepped forward to hold Huang Zhaodi's hand and said, "Mom, don't cry, I will protect you." ”
"Good boy." Huang Zhaodi hugged Dai Feng and stroked his head.
"Alas." A sigh sounded, and Dai Ling walked in carrying a basket of steamed buns.
Huang Zhaodi quickly wiped her tears, turned around, and called "Uncle Ling."
"Eat it while it's hot." Dai Ling placed the bun in front of her. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Zhao Di, are you really willing to leave like this?"
"It's Xiaofeng's father after all. He is ruthless to me, I can't be unjust to him, and I'm also afraid that this will affect my uncle." Huang Zhaodi also had many considerations in mind. What if what he said was true? It really hurt your uncle.
"Alas." Dai Ling sighed again.
After eating the steamed buns, the three of them were ready to leave Xiangyang.
"Before you leave, go say goodbye to Brother Liu. He also takes good care of us." Dai Ling said.
Old Man Liu took them in last night and didn't ask for their money.
After coming out, I didn't see Old Man Liu at the stall, but a young man in a long robe. He was rolling up his sleeves, opening the steamer, and taking out steamed buns for people who came to buy them.
When Dai Lingzheng was surprised, the young man who had finished the business was slightly impressed. He turned around and said with a smile: "You are Uncle Guo Ling that my father said. Hello, I am the owner of this bun shop." Son, what’s my name?”
As he said that, the young man Liu Taoshu saw Huang Zhaodi's son behind Dai Ling, and suddenly remembered something: "Did I see you outside the examination room yesterday? Remember, Brother Guo Ning told me that he was the person who talked to you yesterday. He said you are Mr. Guo's relatives, right? Since you are Mr. Guo's relatives, why are you here? I can take you there."
Liu Taoshu asked several questions in succession, which stunned Huang Zhaodi and Dai Ling.
It's no wonder Liu Taoshu is so confused. After all, if they were Guo Xian's family members, how could they have ended up being taken in by their father last night?
Dai Ling was about to speak, but Huang Zhaodi took the lead. She first said hello to Liu Taoshu and said it was Mr. Liu, and then said:
"Thank you Mr. Liu for your kindness. To be honest with Mr. Liu, we admitted the wrong person yesterday and are preparing to leave Xiangyang today."
Hearing this, although Liu Taoshu felt a little strange like his father, their friendship was not deep after all. Since the other party didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask in detail, and said:
"In that case, I won't leave a few more people here. You are here to say goodbye to your father. He went to visit friends today. These are the buns that his family asked me to leave for you to eat on the way."
With that said, Liu Taoshu handed a bag of buns wrapped in paper to Dai Ling.
Dai Ling could tell that this was a gift, so he immediately declined and said, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
In hindsight, he couldn't shirk it, so Dai Ling simply gave him the money.
Liu Taoshu did not accept it, but smiled and said: "Father said that when people have difficulties in their lives, it is helpful to be able to help. Although he doesn't know what happened to you, there is always a way to solve it. Just make a good relationship."
Even though Dai Ling was old, he had the urge to shed tears when he heard this. He said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu, and thank your father for me. We'll see you again in the world."
"It's a long journey, so be careful on the way." Liu Taoshu said with a smile.
…
On a street in front of the North City Gate, a piece of yellow cloth is placed on the side of the street, embroidered with Bagua diagrams, and the lottery tube is placed in front of the cloth. Behind the cloth sits a fortune teller who looks like that, but is quite young. Li shouted:
"Calculate marriage, good or bad luck. Come and have a look, don't give up money."
Fortune tellers are usually quite old or Taoist priests, which makes them more credible.
And for people like young people, naturally no customers come to the door.
At this moment, the fortune-teller young man stood up and stopped Dai Ling. After looking at him and the two people behind him, he smacked his lips and said, "I see that this man's Yintang is black, and there is a vague black air lingering on the top of his head. There may be a bloody disaster in the near future, if there is no way to avoid it..."
Before the fortune teller finished speaking, Dai Ling, who heard such unlucky words, couldn't help but glare at him and left with Huang Zhaodi and his son.
The fortune teller young man watched the three people leaving as they walked towards the city gate, immediately put away their stall and followed them.
But he didn't know that the mantis stalked the cicada while the oriole followed behind.
Not far behind him, someone was also staring at him.
Because the imperial court promulgated the policy of restoring the population.
Wei Linchun, who had just been promoted by Chen Mo as the prefect of Linzhou, decided on a series of measures after taking office.
Among them is the state-wide census, which aims to reduce the number of unregistered households as much as possible.
Severely crack down on the trafficking of women and children.
In the process, a person named Peng Si'er was investigated and involved in many cases.
So Xiangyang Yamen planned to use Peng Si'er as a breakthrough.
Zuo Gang is the chief catcher of Xiangyang Yamen and a seventh-level warrior.
In terms of strength alone, he can be the magistrate of a county.
But Zuo Gang is not good at reading, and he doesn't know how to govern despite his strength.
Moreover, Xiangyang is different from other counties. Being able to serve as the chief catcher in Xiangyang does not mean he has been wronged.
"Boss, since the man has been found, why haven't you arrested him yet?" Zuo Gang brought two younger brothers, both wearing casual clothes, and one of them asked.
"To catch a thief, you need to be dirty, and to catch an adulterer, you need both. At present, we have only found him, but there is no evidence yet. Besides, we have a long-term plan to catch big fish. From now on, we just keep an eye on him." Zuo Gang said.
The man who spoke just now said again: "Boss, why is it so troublesome? If you arrest him and torture him, there will be evidence."
Another companion said: "You didn't listen to what I said before. Now that the imperial examination has just ended and the results have not been released yet, there are a lot of scholars in Xiangyang, and many of these scholars love to "fight against injustice." You should pay attention to the impact."
"You're a good boy, you learn very quickly." Zuo Gang turned around and smiled.
"They are all taught well by the boss."
"Stop flattering me, I didn't teach you this."
"Boss, if you solve this major case, you should be promoted to county captain."
"The head must be able to do it."
"Okay, stop talking. This kid is out of the city. It seems that he is eyeing that family of three. Follow him quickly." Zuo Gang saw Peng Si'er walking towards the city gate, and his face suddenly became serious.
They quickly followed.
After leaving the city, the number of people gradually decreased, and Zuo Gang and the others did not dare to follow too closely.
And Peng Si'er didn't follow too closely at the moment. He also changed his clothes. There were passers-by beside him, so it was not the best time to take action.
