return to the garden

"Not much." Liao Qing cold-bloodedly rejected a young man who decided to be light and free.

"Huh?" Tang Yuechao sat up propped up, patted the bed and talked to Liao Qing, "Do you know the Tang family of the Imperial Merchant, that is the country I brought down."

Tang Yuechao was only eighteen or nineteen, and his face was still immature. When he was talking to Liao Qing, he looked up, and his eyes were watery and beautiful. He looked cute and well-behaved, like a little brother at home.

Liao Qing remembered that in one life, he had a little imperial brother who was cute and smart, but he was quite similar to Tang Yuechao, with the same pride and the same eyes.

"I heard that the Tang family of the imperial merchant passed down three generations of emperors." The country you brought down?

"That's what I said, but when I took over the Tang family, the Tang family was already in decline. At that time, my mother held a banquet, but I couldn't invite anyone. I spent tens of taels of silver for a meal, and my grandfather felt heartbroken. , the Tang family is now, but it was really down to me." Tang Yue smiled proudly, her hair was a little messy, and she looked like a cat.

"That's okay, I'm not short of money." Liao Qing looked like a local tyrant.

Tang Yuechao thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the case. Looking at the fans that Liao Qing played with all day long, Tang Yuechao estimated in his heart that at least a starting price of 20 yuan was needed. He didn't look like a master who was short of money.

But for some reason, Tang Yuechao didn't want to go back, nor did she want to leave.

"Invest in me, what's wrong with turning his property into dozens of dollars." Tang Yuechao was still a little childish in his heart, and was a little annoyed when he was repeatedly rejected by Liao Qing.

"It's not bad. I can give you money, but you can't keep me here. I want to live an ordinary life." Liao Qing looked very good at the life of the landlord and the rich.

"It's fine if I don't reveal my face. Maritime merchants make a lot of money. Let's form a team and bring back Western perfume glass. Your little brother will definitely like it." Tang Yue smiled slyly like a cat. .

Liao Qing rubbed his temples, and suddenly felt that the current situation was exactly the same as when his younger brother controlled the emperor.

Regardless of whether this younger brother is reasonable or not, as long as he speaks, you will not be able to speak to him.

Liao Qing thought about the years when he was emperor, and nodded reluctantly.

Tang Yuechao burst into laughter, and for the first time felt that pestering people made her happy.

……

On the second day, Liao Qing was woken up by the sound of the gong early in the morning. After washing up and going out, he saw Zhang Xiaoli standing at the door, wanting to knock.

"Huh? Brother Liao is awake?" Zhang Xiaoli's eyes were bright, and he smiled very obediently.

"Well, why did you get up so early?" Liao Qing saw that Zhang Xiaoli had changed clothes and came to wash up, so he expected to wake up for a while, "Sleep a little longer? He's still growing."

"I'm not sleepy anymore. I went to bed early yesterday. By the way, I saw that the lights in Brother Liao's room were turned on very late yesterday. Why didn't you go to bed early?" Zhang Xiaoli asked casually, holding Liao Qing's arm, as if suddenly remembering.

Liao Qing sneered in his heart and laughed.

How so cute.

Saying that he fell asleep earlier, and knowing that the lights in Liao Qing's room were not turned off until late, contradicted himself.

"I forgot to blow the lamp. It should be turned off after the oil is burned." Liao Qing had a smile in his eyes, and the fan tapped Zhang Xiaoli lightly, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Zhang Xiaoli's face turned red, bit her lower lip, seeing Liao Qing laughing non-stop, she couldn't help but punched Liao Qing.

"Oh, it hurts~" Liao Qing deliberately teased him.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaoli became nervous all of a sudden. He knew that he was strong enough to break a tree with a thick waist. Naturally, he was too nervous. He was afraid he would vomit blood if Liao Qing beat him.

Liao Qing didn't speak, Zhang Xiaoli thought he was really hurt, so he hurriedly showed Liao Qing what was going on.

Zhang Xiaoli took Liao Qing to the room where he lived, opened his clothes and looked, and sure enough, there was a large area of ​​green on his chest.

Zhang Xiaoli's lips trembled.

"Brother Liao..." The child's voice was a little choked up, and he didn't dare to look at Liao Qing, so he could only sneak a glance at Liao Qing, as if he was afraid that Liao Qing would get angry.

Liao Qing didn't feel any pain. The skin of the cultivator was rough and fleshy. Although it looked green, he didn't feel anything. He didn't need to apply medicine, and he couldn't see it after a while.

But——he never noticed that Zhang Xiaoli's hands are strong, and it's not easy to beat him with a piece of green.

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Xiaoli didn't dare to touch Liao Qing anymore, his voice was choked up.

"It's okay, it will be fine in two days, it doesn't hurt." Liao Qing smiled indifferently.

Zhang Xiaoli burst into tears immediately, really worthy of his reputation as a little crying bag.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, it hurts me when I cry." Liao Qing put the fan away in his belt, and took a handkerchief to wipe Zhang Xiaoli's tears.

Zhang Xiaoli stopped crying obediently, and gently massaged Liao Qing's injured area with twitching hands.

It's just that the place where Liao Qing was beaten was special, Zhang Xiaoli rubbed it for him, but Liao Qing was a little moved, looking at Zhang Xiaoli with eyes full of eyes, wanting to have some pornography in his heart.

Zhang Xiaoli didn't know that Liao Qing was thinking, so he rubbed Liao Qing for a while, but was really embarrassed to continue rubbing, so he reluctantly took off his hand and straightened Liao Qing's clothes.

"Brother Liao doesn't hurt, does he?" Zhang Xiaoli obediently looked up into Liao Qing's eyes.

The eyes from crying just now are watery, with a little red at the end of the eyes, Liao Qing wants to play with color.

"Just now the gong was knocked outside. It seems that yesterday's shopkeeper and Xiaoer are going to be re-trialed, and then convicted and put in custody." Zhang Xiaoli was eager to try, his eyes were full of wanting to see.

Liao Qing picked up the fan on his waist, opened it and fanned it, indicating that he was walking.

When we got to the place, sure enough, the public trial was about to start, and it seemed that they were going to be locked up before noon.

There is a custom here, which says that if the head is beheaded before noon, the ghost of the prisoner after death will be directly burned to ashes by the noon sun to dissipate the bad breath, but it must be pressed before noon or after noon , It is said that it is to prevent the prisoner from taking advantage of the noon sun and being dishonest in the prison.

But for this reason, just listen to it, and Liao Qing smiled at it.

The public trial went smoothly, and it has accumulated a wave of prestige and reputation for the county magistrate. Liao Qing heard the good words of the county magistrate, but understood that the county magistrate does not sit in the court, and insists on a public trial in the city. To build momentum...

At the end, the magistrate of the county patted the table in front of him vigorously, and said "destroy humanity" to determine the guilt.

But it is a pity that there are too many little brothers and girls who were sold by the two people, and most of them did not know where they were sold, including the woman who was the first to stand up and help identify them, but they were not tried in the end. , where her daughter was sold to, Liao Qing sighed in his heart, it was not a very happy ending after all.

Liao Qing shook his head, not intending to see the woman crying in the courtroom anymore, turned around to leave, but heard a scream behind her.Before Liao Qing could turn his head, he saw Zhang Xiaoli turn around neatly, and kicked the shopkeeper's kick far away when he bumped towards Liao Qing, and finally smashed it at the foot of a yamen servant.

Liao Qing: Hmm...

Boy, you have good feet...

Zhang Xiaoli kicked the man away, turned around quickly, took Liao Qing's hand, and shook it.

Eyes are blushing, are you going to cry?

Liao Qing said that he will no longer believe in tears!

Unfortunately, even when Zhang Xiaoli was blinking at him, Liao Qing couldn't help holding the child and coaxing him well.

Coaxing Zhang Xiaoli to go back, Liao Qing turned around inadvertently, and saw the woman who lost her daughter took a tile and mixed it with the team throwing vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs, and smashed a piece of tile on the shopkeeper and Xiaoer. body...

He was also a formidable one, and Liao Qing's heart tightened when he saw a pile of imitators behind him, tiles, mud, broken porcelain, and pieces flying around, and the yamen servants didn't dare to pull people.

The scene was also very scary.

Back in the backyard of the government office, Tang Yuechao had already woken up. He let go of the inexplicable pressure in his heart. He slept so deeply that he didn't even hear the sound of the gong beating.

"Brother Liao." Tang Yuechao sat up and suddenly felt that she was much better, at least she had slept enough, her mind was much better, and her whole body felt comfortable.

"Well... just call me Brother." Little Huangdi.

"Since you don't have to go, I might as well send you back and go to Yunzhou with Xiaoli." Liao Qing thought about the logic carefully and came to a conclusion.

Ok……

……

Tang Yuechao's relaxed smile froze on his face, he looked carefully at Liao Qing's expression, and swallowed.

"I... have already arrived here, how troublesome it is to go back and come back..." What do you think!

"Really? It's quite troublesome to bring you along." Liao Qing was indifferent and put the fan aside.

"But, when we do business, I have to get in touch with my subordinates in Yunzhou first, otherwise it will be difficult for me to manage the store by myself..." Tang Yue patted the bed with his uninjured hand, pulled the wound, and then It was a gasp.

"Oh." Liao Qing said indifferently.

Oh what do you mean!

However, Tang Yuechao could tell that Liao Qing was joking, or that something unpleasant happened on a trip just now.

Of course Liao Qing was not happy!After staying in such a comfortable world for too long, I always feel that the world is too safe, and I have fallen to let Zhang Xiaoli protect herself!

Poor Tang Yuechao was directly vented by No. [-] who became the shopkeeper.

At noon, Liao Qing planned to take Zhang Xiaoli out to play, eat something by the way, and take a stroll in the county in the afternoon. Of course, as a good boss, Liao Qing also left a large piece of pancake for Tang Yuechao who was bedridden. Yes, it is sweet.

Unfortunately, just after the attack on Tang Yuechao, Liao Qing's plan fell through.

"Huh?" As soon as Liao Qing opened the door, he saw a government servant dressed up as he was about to knock on the door. As soon as Liao Qing opened the door, his hand almost knocked on Liao Qing's chest.

"Young master Liao, our county magistrate invites you to come to the mansion to have a talk at night." It's hard for him, Wang Ermiao, to speak so elegantly.

A narrative?

Liao Qing started to have a headache.
