Master Luo Cao

Facts have proved that some things cannot be said, and it will be really bad luck if you say it.

A few days after the Xia Fu was handed in, the Jiuhe county government received a letter from Kuaima, just as Fu Yunshu Xiumu was lazily huddling in his room. Carrying the letter, he went to knock on Fu Yunshu's door.At this time, the little county magistrate was wearing loose obscene clothes, leaning on the imperial concubine couch in his room with his feet up, reading a book, hearing Kou Luoche's voice, he said without thinking: "Please come in."

Kou Luoqiao pushed the door open, and the first thing he saw was the white chest exposed by the loose skirt of the little county magistrate. He lingered for a long time before moving to the book in his hand, with black letters on a blue background, It was the "Penglai Chronicle" that I brought in from my study last time.

Fu Yunshu let go of his hand, put down the book, and it just landed on his chest to block that piece of chest. Kou Luoche withdrew his gaze in disappointment, facing the bright and clear eyes of the small county magistrate, looked at himself and asked with a smile: " Brother Kou, what's the matter?"

Kou Luoche raised the letter in Yang's hand and said, "County Lord, the magistrate invites you to drink tea at the government office."

The smile on Fu Yunshu's face disappeared, and he fell straight on the imperial concubine's couch. After a moment of silence, he grabbed the book and pressed it upside down on his face.

Kou Luoche said: "Brother Fu, it's useless to run away."

Fu Yunshu's voice muffled from inside the book, "But I don't want to go."

"Good boy," Kou Luoqi walked up to him, stretched out his hand, touched his face through the book, touched it lightly, and said softly, "I'll accompany you."

Fu Yunshu took the letter slowly, opened it and saw that the magistrate was very polite, and only asked him to take the time to come over and discuss something.After reading it, he folded the letter paper and stuffed it back into the envelope, and casually put it on the low table beside him. With a faint sigh, Fu Yunshu said: "The case of transferring corpses has almost come to an end recently. These few cases have not yet become serious, so we need to hurry up and go to the state capital, otherwise, when Yang Ye finds out new clues, it will take a lot of work."

Kou Luoche said: "Brother Fu is right, if you delay for too long, I'm afraid the magistrate will be dissatisfied even if he doesn't show it on the face."

Fu Yunshu nodded, "I'm going to discuss with Xu Xiancheng and Zhao Xianwei. Brother Kou, you go and pack your luggage first, let's go back quickly."

The little county magistrate did what he said, and immediately ordered Xu Meng and Zhao Ciji to come. When the two heard that Fu Yunshu was leaving the county again, they shook their heads like rattles. When the photo was taken on the table, both of them were silent again.Fu Yunshu smiled slightly, and said to Xu Meng: "Since Xu Xiancheng is so worried about this county, why not let Xu Xiancheng go for this county?"

Xu Meng stood up slowly, shrunk his head and said: "Master Fu, I am willing to serve Mr. Fu, but it's just that Mr. Zhifu...I'm afraid it's hard to explain."

Fu Yunshu looked at Zhao Ciji again, "What did Mr. Zhao say?"

Zhao Ciji cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since the magistrate personally summoned me, I have no choice but to go."

"Yeah." Fu Yunshu nodded, "Then it will be as usual, Master Kou will be with me."

"My lord!" Xu Meng hurriedly said: "This trip is no worse than the last time. It is still in the county. From Jiuqulang to the state capital, it will take four or five days and it will be two or three days faster. If you are only accompanied by Mr. Distress situations can be overwhelming."

Zhao Ciji said: "Just to be on the safe side, my lord should bring a few more capable yamen servants."

"Since walking from the Jiuqu Corridor is a long journey and a waste of time, why not..." Fu Yunshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Go to Jindiao Mountain?"

Xu Meng and Zhao Ciji's expressions changed immediately, and they tried to persuade Fu Yunshu for a while, for fear that Fu Yunshu's head would be too hot-headed to take a risky path. It's just that I didn't come to Jiuhe County not long ago, so I'm still a new face, and it's convenient to go alone, but if I bring too many people, it will be eye-catching. Besides, everyone in the county government performs their own duties, so where are the extra people? Shall I take it to the state capital? Mr. Kou is not weak, he is enough."

When Fu Yunshu mentioned Kou Luoche, he had another gentle smile on his face, and Xu Meng's face suddenly turned ashen as the upright loyal minister who saw the emperor's obsession with beauty and did not go to court early, and he said sadly: "Master Fu, think twice."

On the other side, Zhao Ciji had already compromised, saying: "What the magistrate said is reasonable, Mr. Kou is a talent, and he will definitely be able to protect the magistrate's safety."

Xu Meng couldn't remember how many times Zhao Ciji put his burden on him. Loyal courtiers were always held back by sycophants. He didn't even have the strength to glance at Bai Zhao Ciji, so he said helplessly: "My lord, If you don't want to bring too many people, you can bring Yang Ye, I think he is kind and honest, and he is smart in his work, so he can be used."

Fu Yunshu said sincerely: "Yang Ye was sent by me to investigate the case."

"Investigate the case?" Xu Meng was startled, "Is there any case in the county recently?"

Fu Yunshu said: "Master Xu, you still remember that the day Master Zhao and I came back from Jindiao Mountain, Liu Xiucai came to the county government to report the case, saying that his son had not been seen for three days."

Xu Meng rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully: "I remember, this matter was interrogated by Mr. Kou and the officer together. Mr. Kou sent someone to investigate afterward. The officer wanted to come to Mr. Kou to be considerate, so he didn't Don't worry about it anymore... Now that things have happened, has Liu Xiucai's son been found?"

"No." Fu Yunshu shook his head, "not only did not find it, but also found two other cases similar to it. Although only one case occurred in our county, the government's responsibilities should still be investigated carefully. Before Yang Ye led Here is a clue found in the state capital, and I will ask him to follow along to investigate."

"The state capital?" Xu Meng asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with the state capital?"

Fu Yunshu said: "There is a young man who disappeared for no reason in the mandarin duck restaurant in the state capital. According to Yang Ye, like Liu Xiucai's son and Xiaochunlou, another ten missing people, he disappeared because of searching for medicine."

Xu Meng lowered his head and murmured: "Mandarin Duck House...that's strange..."

Zhao Ciji said: "Although these three people all want to find medicine, they are not necessarily killed by the same person."

Fu Yunshu said: "So don't say anything at this time, everything will be decided after Yang Ye comes back."

Both of them cupped their hands and said, "Yes, my lord."

Coming back from the county government office, passing the garden, youdao's slender figure stood vaguely among the flowers. Fu Yunshu stood in the distance and stared quietly for a while, and saw the man turn around, holding a shower in his hand, with delicate eyes Gentle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the sky is slightly dark at this time, and it seems that the mirabilis in the bushes has become a spirit.Thinking of the stories my old mother told me when I was young, I was suddenly overjoyed and called out, "Brother Kou!"

Kou Luoche raised his head, saw that it was Fu Yunshu, immediately put down the kettle in his hand, and went up to him, "Brother Fu."

Fu Yunshu stood on tiptoe and looked at the flowers and plants behind Kou Luochao, and said, "Brother Kou took good care of the flowers and plants in this yard, but the gardener is very happy."

Kou Luoche smiled and said: "When I was young, I read Mr. Wuliu, and I yearned for the seclusion of the countryside. I thought about finding a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in the future, building two or three thatched huts, making friends with four or five, planting flowers and grass, repairing fences and cooking tea on weekdays." If you have free time, you can write a few legendary stories, and it is a wonderful thing to waste time slowly."

Fu Yunshu's eyes lit up, "Brother Kou can also write legendary stories?"

Kou Luoche was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I wrote it before."

"If Brother Kou returns to the mountains and forests in the future, can I be counted among those four or five friends?" Fu Yunshu asked with a smile.

Kou Luoche said: "Naturally."

"Since this is the case, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. It is better to cherish the present than to wait for the future." Fu Yunshu said, pulling Kou Luojia's wrist, and walked towards the lake from the rain pavilion, "I ordered someone to fetch wine, Tell me a story and listen to it."

It was rare for Hai Dongqing, the owner of the dignified Qunying Village, to be dragged away, and suddenly felt a little funny, and said, "Do you want to drink tonight? Brother Fu, aren't you going to the state capital tomorrow?"

The little county magistrate was in a very good mood today for some reason, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go later!"

Now it's the end of May, the heat is rising slightly, and the lotus leaves in the lake are growing gratifyingly. Fu Yunshu jumped on the boat, lay down in the middle of the boat, with his hands behind his head, smelling the fragrance of lotus leaves carried by the wind, He let out a long sigh of relief.Kou Luoche was rowing at the stern of the boat, casually pushing away a lotus leaf in front of him, without saying a word, just looking at Fu Yunshu quietly.

"Brother Kou." Fu Yunshu said suddenly, opened his eyes, looked at the stars that had appeared in the sky, and said, "Have you ever read "The Postscript of Searching Gods"?"

Kou Luoche said: "I have read "Sou Shen Ji", but there is no epilogue."

Fu Yunshu said: "My old mother told me a story in it. A young farmer accidentally picked up a field snail in the field, and he picked it up and kept it in the water tank at home. Since then, he has returned home every day. There are ready-made meals and hot water prepared for him, but I don't know who cooked it...Brother Kou, do you know what happened afterwards?"

Kou Luoche thought for a while, and then said: "Later, he found out that the snails he picked up turned into essences, and he helped him cook and boil water every day to take care of the housework?"

"Exactly, not only that, the snail turned into a human form, and she is still a beautiful girl." Fu Yunshu raised his head suddenly, and blinked his left eye at Kou Luoche, "She is as virtuous and beneficial as brother Kou."

The night breeze was gentle, and the bright moon melted, reflecting Fu Yunshu's handsome eyebrows and eyes, making Kou Luoche dazed for a moment, forgetting to reach out to push away the lotus leaves that were blowing towards his face, and the leaves gently swept across his face. The tip of the nose smelled a faint fragrance.Until the bow of the boat touched the corner of the pavilion and swung in the water, Kou Luoche was finally awakened, and looked at Fu Yunshu in surprise——

He seemed to have been molested by the little county magistrate just now!

Fu Yunshu's arrogance lasted only for a while, and immediately turned his head to one side and looked up at the sky after flirting, as if he hadn't said anything just now.Kou Luoche's voice came faintly to his ears, "Brother Fu..."

Under the night, the ears of the little county magistrate began to turn red involuntarily, "Huh?"
