Chapter 21

Before Li Mo could arrange the work of the workshop, the master hurried over and said to Li Mo solemnly, "My lord, the prefect sent someone here."

Li Mo had no choice but to stop what she was doing, walked out of the workshop, and asked in confusion, "Send someone? Who did you send? What's the matter?"

Master: "It's the celebrity around the eunuch, Zhou Cheng Zhou, the master bookkeeper. He is used to playing tricks and telling stories. This time he came prepared, and he came in a threatening manner. It must not be a good thing."

The original owner met the prefect and Zhou Zhushu on the day he first took office, and his first impression was that he was not happy. As an official of Shangfeng, he even asked his subordinates how much money he should pay each month, otherwise there would be no good results.

The original owner's character was too upright and upright, she didn't agree, and the prefect was so angry that she wanted to dismiss her on the spot, only because there was no one to take up the post for the time being.

The eunuch sent Master Zhou over this time because of two things. One was why Wenliang called for justice, and the other was for money. He has been in office for so long. As a subordinate, he has never sent a penny. It must be for beating come.

Li Mo said disapprovingly, "Let's go meet him."

Seeing the master approaching with a serious face, Zhong Dazhuang guessed that something had happened, so he waited on his companions, and followed with the policeman's saber.

Li Mo looked at him amusedly: "Da Zhuang, are you going to fight?"

Zhong Dazhuang couldn't laugh, but said seriously: "My lord, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "With your small body, you don't know who will protect who."

But the emotion was over.

Just as he was about to go to the front yard, Song Min led all the yamen servants back panting, the master was secretly relieved, fortunately, he did not fight alone!

Li Mo couldn't help laughing: "What is this for? Everyone is lazy, so they don't need to work?"

Song Min: "My lord, I saw a carriage coming from the provincial capital on the road. The people following the carriage were dressed in the clothes of government servants. Including the driver and the people in the carriage, there were a total of 26 people. Such a large formation, I guess it is from the top. People have dealt with you, and I am afraid that you will be in danger, so..."

The road is still being built today, and all passing pedestrians and vehicles can clearly see it.

Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry: "Why do you feel like you are sending me to the execution ground?"

Master: "My lord, it's better to be careful."

Li Mo looked at these sincere faces, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

We can't change the difficulties in the world, but at least we can warm each other up, brothers are doing well, even if it's for you, it doesn't matter if you risk your life.

He said with relief: "Now that we are all back, let's go to meet Master Zhou."

A group of people came to the front yard, and heard the sound of smashing cups from a distance, and then a bitter voice rang out: "What kind of tea is this? It's really bad luck here, I don't know what to praise."

A pleading voice: "I'm sorry, the little one will change right away."

It was the voice of Yamen servant Liu Li.

"roll."

Li Mo withdrew her hippie smile, stopped, and said to Zhong Dazhuang, "Go to the kitchen and grab some mung beans."

Although Zhong Dazhuang didn't know what Li Mo was going to do, he had an intuition that Li Mo was going to do something bad.

Then he said to the master: "Next time people from the provincial capital come over, there is no need to prepare tea. Our small place can't serve these things that are not as good as pigs and dogs."

Master: "Yes." Since adults are not afraid, then what should we be afraid of.

After Zhong Dazhuang came back with the mung beans, everyone went to the front yard.

In the living room, Zhou Cheng actually sat on the main seat, surrounded by a dozen guards.

The master was so angry that his beard turned up. Song Min and the others picked up their sabers and tried to cut people down. A small master was so arrogant.

Li Mo stopped them, signaling them not to act rashly.

After entering the door, Li Mo put on a fake flattering smile, and the servants expressed that they were very hot-eyed and couldn't bear to look directly at him.

"I didn't know that Master Zhou was coming, but I was far away to welcome you. It's a great honor to meet you."

It is said that you don’t want to hit a smiling face, Master Zhou opened his triangular eyes, pointed to the pot of tea on the table and said to Li Mo: "Master Li, is this the way of hospitality in your Songjiang County?"

Li Mo said with a smile: "Master Zhou misunderstood, it is for feeding dogs."

As soon as the words fell, Song Min and the others bowed their heads and held back their laughter. The master shook his head: My lord, you're getting skinny again.

Master Zhou pointed at Li Mo and was about to get angry, but Li Mo changed the topic: "Master Zhou came from a long distance this time, it's hard work, he must have seen that Songjiang County is too poor, so he sent us money."

Master Zhou: Sending money, you think it's a good idea, it's almost the same as sending you to the west.

Director Zhou also didn't want to lose face, and said arrogantly: "The prefect has something important to ask Mr. Li, and please ask Mr. Li to come with us."

Li Mo: "What's the matter?"

Master Zhou: "How can I know about the prefect, let's go."

He said yes, but he didn't mean to invite him at all. Those who know the way quickly followed, and those who didn't know the way, I brought twenty or so people here, and the dozen or so incompetent handymen in your yamen can stop you ?

Li Mo was not annoyed either: "Master Zhou wait a moment, I will go and make some arrangements first."

Master Zhou said impatiently: "Is there anything to arrange, the prefect is in a hurry."

Li Mo quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am just going to change into an official uniform, and it will be ready soon."

Saying that he hurriedly led all the yamen servants out, Master Zhou looked at Li Mo's hurried back and snorted coldly, what can the county magistrate do?

However, the moment Li Mo walked out of the door, Master Zhou fell off the chair inexplicably, knocked the corner of his mouth on the table, bleeding, and panicked in the living room.

No one knew what happened, only a mung bean lay quietly in the corner.

Everyone followed Li Mo out of the living room, looking at Li Mo worriedly.

Master: "My lord, take everyone in the yamen away."

Everyone: "We are willing to follow your lord."

Li Mo said with a smile: "Look, you are nervous. Could it be that the prefect can kill me? One or two of you, don't try to be lazy, do what you should do."

"Follow me if you click on the name, Song Min, Zhong Dazhuang."

Song Min and Zhong Dazhuang: "Here."

Li Mo: "Prepare the ox cart, I will take the ox cart to the prefect's mansion."

The master disagreed: "My lord, let's arrange a carriage. Doesn't riding an ox cart lower one's status?"

Li Mo: "Just take the ox cart, and leave the carriage to Zhang Zhongping and the others to drive tomorrow."

Li Mo paused, and said to the master: "If I don't come back tomorrow, you send my mother and Li'er out of the city, and you can rest assured to wait for the next county magistrate to come. As long as you are obedient, the prefect will not make things difficult for you." of."

This is the worst possible scenario.

The master resisted the sadness in his heart, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, don't worry, my lord, I will help you look after Songjiang County until you come back safely."

Seeing everyone's depressed mood, Li Mo smiled: "Be happy, what can I do, don't look lifeless, just go to the provincial capital, it's no big deal, no one can die, and it's not like going to Execution ground. If you don’t work hard, be careful when I come back to deal with you.”

On the way to the provincial capital, I kept meeting people building roads.

Li Mo, dressed in official uniform, was particularly eye-catching sitting on the bullock cart.

"My lord, where is this going?"

Li Mo responded enthusiastically: "Go to the provincial capital."

"My lord, are you going on business?"

"Yes, Lord Taishou learned that we are building roads in Songjiang County. In order to express our gratitude to everyone, I specially invited me to accept the reward on behalf of everyone."

"The prefect is wise."

"The prefect is wise."

"The prefect is wise."

Everyone spoke in a loud voice, Master Zhou could hear clearly when he was sitting in the carriage, this Li Mo could really speak.

However, everyone began to feel sorry for their county magistrate again. A majestic county magistrate can only go to the provincial capital by bullock cart. It is so sad to see that the sun is so big, don't get tanned.

And I don't know who is sitting in the carriage, but an errand runner has a lot of official functions, so he is ashamed to take the carriage.

Everyone said what they said, and criticized the people in the carriage as worthless. The head secretary Zhou is not old, and he can hear clearly, but he dare not get out of the car to argue, because his nose is bruised and his face is swollen.

What the hell, from the living room to the carriage, he fell several times in a short distance, while the others were safe and sound.

After going back, I will burn incense to all the gods, hoping to be safe and sound.

In the future, he will not come to Songjiang County even if he is beaten to death.

When he was about to reach the provincial capital, Master Zhou's carriage had a problem. He didn't know what stimulated the horse, and suddenly started running wildly. Unfortunately, the wheel got stuck on a stone just now, and the horse stopped, but Master Zhou was thrown out.
